"Sister, what do you want to eat?" Lu Mingfei raised his head and asked.
Nono sat opposite him, wearing the red dress he gave her that day.
"Beef? Or pork?" Nono flipped through the menu, "How about some vegetable salad?"
Lu Mingfei didn't speak, but stared at her for a few seconds, and suddenly noticed some bright spots under her eyes, which were the makeup she had not had time to remove.
Did Senior Sister put on makeup yesterday? Lu Mingfei thought, as if he didn’t notice it at all.
He continued to stare at Nono. The girl's long dark red hair was always a little naturally curly, hanging casually behind her head, and there was a strand of curved hair beside her ears.
"Why don't you speak?" Nuonuo looked at him strangely.
"Oh, I was wondering, Senior Sister, is that strand of hair around your ears always curly?"
"Well, there's no way." Nono said, "It doesn't work even if I straighten it, and then I don't bother to do it anymore."
"Actually, it's quite beautiful like this."
"Didn't you ask me to straighten it before?" Nono curled her lips, "What else can I say, it will look better if I straighten it."
"Senior sister is beautiful no matter what." Lu Mingfei chuckled.
"Don't be poor, come and see what we can eat." Nono handed him the menu.
Lu Mingfei pretended to flip through a few pages. In fact, he didn't know what to eat, so he had to point to a dish on the menu that looked okay and showed it to Nono, "How about the tomahawk steak."
"Okay, let's take the tomahawk steak." Nono switched to English and said to the waiter who had been waiting next to him for a long time. It was the same waiter from last year.
"Two portions, right?" The waiter bowed slightly.
"Yes."
"How cooked should it be?"
"Medium rare." Nono thought for a while.
"Do you need anything else to drink?" the waiter asked.
"What are you drinking?" Nono turned the pencil in his hand and drew on the menu.
"I can do either." Lu Mingfei replied.
"Don't be casual." Nono hit him on the head with a pencil, "Have I never taught you before? The most taboo thing about eating with a woman is casualness."
"Oh..." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "Then let's have beer."
"Two dozen beers." Nono said to the waiter.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter withdrew.
……
……
"Why hasn't it come yet?" Nono was a little impatient. It had been half an hour and there was no sign of the food.
"Maybe Michelin restaurants are like this." Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say, "I try my best to give guests the best dining experience."
"Trouble."
"Senior sister, here is a magazine to kill some time." Lu Mingfei went to the shelf and took a magazine and handed it to her, and also took one for himself.
So the two of them began to read in silence. Several times, Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked out from the top of the magazine, watching his senior sister curled up in the corner of the sofa seat, quietly turning the pages.
Like a cat.
The strand of soft hair beside her ears tickled his ears.
Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and wanted to say, Senior Sister, have you ever felt that I was quite able to impress people... This is really stupid to ask. Lu Mingfei thought that he was already a dull man, so how could He De be worthy of it?
Let's forget about the label of "impressing people", so he gave up the idea again and again.
"Give me your copy." Nuonuo stretched out her hand. She read quickly. While Lu Mingfei was still reading in a daze, she had already turned it over and over several times.
"Oh." Lu Mingfei honestly handed her his copy, and the two exchanged reads.
"Still boring." Nuonuo finished flipping through Lu Mingfei's magazine and threw it on the table.
"Senior sister, are you unhappy?" Lu Mingfei suddenly realized something.
"Yes! Ah! I'm just not happy!" Nono grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of her, "Do you know why?"
"First
Ms. Sheng, your food is ready, please enjoy." The waiter suddenly appeared between the two of them, completely ignoring the electric sparks generated by friction in the air, and placed two plates of steak on the table.
"Um...Senior sister...why don't you eat first?" Lu Mingfei said weakly, thinking that this waiter was worthy of being a subordinate of the little devil, saving his life at the critical moment!
"Okay, but you can't escape me today." Nuonuo curled her lips and let go of Lu Mingfei's collar.
"Sir, can you come with me?" The waiter asked Nono respectfully, "I can borrow your boyfriend for a while."
"What?" Nono stared.
"I think the beer doesn't suit the taste of this restaurant, so I would like to ask him to choose a sweet wine for dessert."
"Okay." Nuonuo raised her chin towards Lu Mingfei, "He said he wanted you to choose wine with him."
Lu Mingfei quickly stood up and pulled the waiter, "Let's go!"
……
"I need that thing now." In front of the dazzling wine cabinet, Lu Mingfei scratched his head anxiously, "What is it?"
"Put an important sentence on the withered flowers of the cheese cake?" The waiter smiled.
"Yeah!" Lu Mingfei nodded.
"Okay," the waiter asked, "What do you want to write?"
"I don't know either." Lu Mingfei was troubled, "How about you help me think of something."
"It's best to think about this kind of thing yourself." The waiter still smiled, "Otherwise the lady won't feel your sincerity."
"What's more, didn't you make her angry in some way? I think it's good to use this little surprise to ask for forgiveness."
"Oh..." Lu Mingfei pressed his fingers on his temples and muttered, "Think quickly, think quickly..."
"You can start from the common experience you and she have had." The waiter reminded kindly.
"Yes!" Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up.
"On that night in October 2009, I accompanied you to watch the bouquets of flowers scattered in the gap between the wind and time. Many years later, the strands of floral fragrance remain in the depths of the diary."
"That's it!"
"Very poetic." The waiter agreed, "As expected of the young master, I believe the lady will be satisfied."
"That's necessary." Lu Mingfei snorted proudly in his nostrils, "You don't even know who I am."
"By the way, what is the name of the ghost, young master?"
"You are the boss's brother, but the boss has not abdicated yet, so you are the young master." The waiter said respectfully.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Dizzy." Lu Mingfei held his forehead helplessly, "This title is too rude. It made me think I was playing a drama about the urban dragon king."
"Besides, I am that boy's brother. No matter what happens, the title of Young Master will not fall on me, right?"
"That's what the boss ordered." The waiter said there was nothing he could do.
"Lu Mingze, that damn brat!" Lu Mingfei said viciously, "Whenever he shows up, I will arrest him and spank him!"
"Okay, I believe you can discipline the boss well." The waiter made a gesture of invitation, "Go and coax her, don't keep your girl waiting for too long."
"Wait until I come back victorious!" Lu Mingfei puffed out his chest and walked toward the red figure with dignity.
……
……
"Sister, I'm back." Lu Mingfei sat down next to her.
"Why don't you sit across from me?" Nono still had a cold face.
"Because I want to be closer to you." Lu Mingfei smiled playfully and squeezed towards her again.
"Who wants to get close to you?" Nono reached out to push him, "First tell me why I am angry?"
"I can't guess..." Lu Mingfei said, "Sister, can you give me some hints?"
"Today."
"What's today?"
"Who did you chat with today?"
"Um..." Lu Mingfei scratched his eyebrows and looked at the ceiling, "I chatted with my senior brother for a while in the morning, and then..."
"Then what?" Nono said playfully.
"Then I met Senior Ye Sheng. I hadn't seen him for a long time, so I ate mint rolls with him..." Lu Mingfei tried to get through.
"What did you talk to him about?" Nono didn't give in and pressed forward step by step.
"We talked about some emotional issues."
"Squeeze the toothpaste, right?" Nono narrowed his eyes and showed a dangerous smile, "If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be strict."
"I'm just too stupid!" Lu Mingfei shouted suddenly as if he was resigned to his fate, "I can't see clearly your feelings for me, senior sister! I'm so sorry!"
"Well." Nono held her chin with her hand and swayed her little feet under the table with her high heels, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
"Senior sister, how did you know..." Lu Mingfei asked, shrugging his neck.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you." A golden light flashed in Nuonuo's eyes, "Don't change the subject."
"I am a stupid person with a stupid mouth and a stupid brain..." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice.
"Well, continue." Nono changed his hand to support his chin.
"So it must make you feel uncomfortable, senior sister."
"Well." Nono said, "I feel very sad to have such a boyfriend."
"I want to say..." Lu Mingfei opened his mouth, "Actually, I really love you. I was afraid that one day you would no longer be passionate about me, so..."
"What are you talking about?" Nuonuo tilted her head and looked at him, her dark red hair flowing like water, "Then don't I love you anymore?"
"I can feel that you love me, but..." Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at his toes.
"Okay, blame me for not making it clear." Nono suddenly pinched his chin and turned his head straight, "Look at me."
Lu Mingfei looked into her eyes obediently.
"I love you." Nono said word by word, "Do you understand? I have never loved anyone before, but then I met you."
"Is passion useful? This thing is nothing in my heart." Nono said proudly with a raised face, "It's enough that I love you."
"I know..." Lu Mingfei was very moved, "I just have some worries about gains and losses..."
"There is nothing to worry about." Nono then picked up the knife and fork to cut the steak, speaking in a relaxed tone, "I will never fall in love with anyone else except you in this life. If you die one day, I will die with you." "Senior sister..." Lu Mingfei was very moved again.
"The cake you asked for." The waiter brought a silver plate to the table.
"When did I order cake?" Nono frowned.
"This gentleman ordered it." The waiter stretched out his hand to indicate Lu Mingfei's idea, "He wants to give you a surprise. When you open the lid, you can see the gift he prepared for you."
"Yeah." Nono nodded.
"You two, if there is no other need, I will leave now." The waiter smiled and secretly gave Lu Mingfei a "" gesture before leaving.
"Sister, please take a look." He said.
"Mysterious." Nuonuo muttered, and she slowly opened the lid on the dinner plate.
First, a burst of white mist suddenly came out, like the effect of using liquid nitrogen, until the lid was completely opened, and after the white mist dissipated, she saw a small poem decorated with withered flowers on the cake, with beautiful handwriting. "The seeds of the flowers are scattered in the sky,
Blooming freely in the dark,
Purple sun-like dandelions,
Falling cyan hanging basket,
A rose made of red and gold,
White dahlia...
On that night in October 2009, I accompanied you to watch the bouquets of flowers scattered in the gap between the wind and time.
Many years later, the scent of flowers remains in the depths of the diary."
"This is..." Nono was stunned.
「tarandfer」
Lu Mingfei held her hand and said, "The night we watched the stars together on the top of the mountain."
"Senior sister, do you know?" He said softly, "I still remember it to this day.
That night when I turned 18, my world was black."
"There were a lot of noisy sounds and messy figures, but there was no light. But when you opened the door and walked in, your long hair was spread out, so those noisy sounds and messy figures disappeared. I could only see you, and I could only see you.
You are left."
"Now that I think about it, it was not the light that changed a poor boy's life, but the fire that melted my whole world."
"Is today some kind of emotional exchange meeting..." Nuonuo said with a smile, but tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"Damn it, my makeup is all stained from crying." She kept wiping away her tears with her fingertips.
"Senior sister, I just want you to know that you are the most important part of my life, an indispensable part." Lu Mingfei put his arm around the girl's shoulders, "I may be stupid sometimes and awkward sometimes.
A wooden head will sometimes worry about gains and losses, and sometimes it will accidentally make you uncomfortable..."
"But I will always love you."
"Why are you so affectionate all of a sudden..." Nono found that her tears couldn't be wiped clean no matter how hard she wiped them away, so she just stopped wiping them and leaned against Lu Mingfei's arms like a cat.
"I am a very selfish, willful person, I love to play around, I am indifferent to everything, and I am crazy all the time." She counted on her fingers, "Sometimes it makes you feel less enthusiastic." "Even so, are you still willing to love me?" She raised her face and asked Lu Mingfei, her silver four-leaf clover earrings shining brightly.
"Until death do us part," Lu Mingfei said, and then kissed the girl on the lips.
……
……
Lu Mingfei wiped her mouth with a napkin and stood up. Nono picked up her bag from the chair next to her.
"Senior sister, do you still have time? Let's go out for a walk to get some fresh air." Lu Mingfei asked.
"Okay." Nono said, walking a little staggeringly. She drank half a bottle of whiskey alone. "I had nothing to do tonight. In order to eat with you, I put off all my study tasks until tomorrow."
"Don't drink so much next time." Lu Mingfei put a coat on the girl's shoulders, "Is it cold?"
"Hot." Nono stretched out his hand to pull off his coat, "What kind of gentlemanly behavior are you doing in this summer?"
When we walked out of Lu Mingfei's unknown Michelin restaurant, it was dark outside. There was a dim street lamp above our head. The leaves chopped up the light and sprinkled it down in small pieces.
The two of them staggered on the sidewalk in the streets of Chicago, with leaf-covered roads on one side and broken glass windows on the other.
