This unexpected scene instantly attracted the attention of many diners, including Cheng Lin.
Because He City is located on the edge of the territory and borders neighboring countries, it is not uncommon for foreign friends to appear here, but even if they are the same foreigners, there are differences.
Cheng Lin judged with a glance that the people who came in were not from the Soviet Union.
The other person is also white, but his facial features give the impression of being more Western, European and American.
As for the more specific Cheng Lin, I can't tell.
It's like he can't tell the difference between Swedish, Norwegian and Danish people...
"Crooked nuts?"
Cao Wei, who was sitting next to her and holding a menu, also raised her head and looked over curiously.
Then I discovered that not only one person came through the door, but two.
The first person to come in was a tall, thin white man.
Considering that white people look older, it is difficult to judge their age. Judging from their clothing and temperament, they should not be very old.
He was wearing a windbreaker and carrying a large black backpack. The backpack was bulging as if it contained some kind of instruments. He had sunken eye sockets and a light beard on his chin. He looked dusty.
The person who came in behind him turned out to be a white woman with brownish-blond shawl hair. She was wearing a tight-fitting light leather jacket. She was tall and energetic. She was wearing a pair of jeans and a computer bag hanging on her body. Well...
Butt... very firm.
After she came in, she smiled generously at the waiter and said in somewhat unfamiliar Chinese:
"Please bring us some dumplings, yes, dumplings. I want... um, five portions."
"Ah... ok, what kind of stuffing do you want?" the waiter said blankly.
"Well... vegetarian, we eat vegetarian."
"How about the one stuffed with leeks and eggs? How about it?" The waiter calmed down and asked.
Then, I saw two people muttering in a foreign language. The young foreign woman with brown hair shook her head and said:
"Some of us don't like chicken, can we change it?"
At this time, the door curtain of the back kitchen was opened, and the cook came out curiously. Upon hearing this, he shook his head slightly to indicate that there were no more vegetarian dumplings.
The waiter looked at it with a confused look on his face, then blinked and suddenly said:
"Can I change it to chives and mustard stuffing?"
Mushu?
The two white people were stunned and smiled brightly at the same time: "Okay!"
The waitress breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and lowered her voice and said to the chef: "Leeks and eggs, five portions."
"Okay!" The chef turned and entered the kitchen.
Cheng Lin and Cao Wei, who were sitting not far away, both took a breath...
This operation...
The conversation was still continuing over there.
"Would you like to eat here or take it away?"
"Take it away."
"Okay, wait a moment." The waiter smiled.
The other customers in the store were a little confused when they witnessed this scene, but they tacitly kept silent.
In this atmosphere, Cheng Lin and Cao Wei didn't say anything. The latter lowered his head and continued to read the menu, while the former blinked slightly, and two complex field figures appeared in his eyes, slowly rotating.
"Wide Area Vision" is on!
The angle of view suddenly increased to the top of the head, and the invisible mist spread in a ring, covering the snack bar.
Cheng Lin also used the "perspective" feature of wide-area vision to observe the two white men.
Well... there is indeed no energy reaction on her body, which means that she is most likely an ordinary person... The woman is indeed carrying a notebook, but this man... is carrying a camera? There is also a separate microphone inside.
Cheng Lin looked at it carefully with the help of his superpower and was a little surprised.
The two of them looked very professional, carrying camera microphones on their backs. They looked not like ordinary tourists, but more like journalists.
"She said before that there were other people among them, and she ordered five portions of dumplings... It seems like they are a small team. It's strange that they appeared nearby at this time... It's probably related to this projection."
Cheng Lin made a judgment immediately.
At this time, the woman who seemed to be a "reporter" began to look at the situation in the store out of boredom.
The store was small and had a clear view. When she saw Cheng Lin and Cao Wei, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately he strode over and said:
"Can I sit here for a moment?"
Cao Wei raised her head, a little dazed, while Cheng Lin stretched out his hand to hold her down gently and said calmly:
"sure."
"Thanks."
The "female reporter" sat down across from the two people, gave her companion a stool, and then smiled and said:
"Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm Evelin, a reporter from the British Reuters. I'm here for an interview. If I'm not mistaken, you are Xia Kingdom's superpowers, right?"
really……
Cheng Lin pursed his lips, his guess was correct.
It was not surprising that the other party could identify the two of them. Both Cheng Lin and Cao Wei were wearing student uniforms, so they were easy to identify.
As for "superpowers", this is the Western name for "practitioners", and it means the same thing.
However, Cheng Lin was a little surprised by the origin of Evelin.
Reuters…
If he remembered correctly, this was a news agency in London and one of the largest news agencies in the world. It had great influence in the entire Western world.
What are these reporters doing here?
Reporting on this Xiasu projection exploration? This is probably the only possibility.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Cheng Lin asked cautiously.
"It's like this. We heard about the joint exploration between the two countries this time and came here to report. We met you by chance. Can we do an interview?"
Evelin said, opening her backpack and taking out a recording pen.
"Interview?"
Cao Wei asked back, her eyes bright.
Evelin immediately smiled at her and said:
"Yes, how about when you go back and sort out the manuscript, your names can be seen by billions of people? It's very simple."
Cao Wei was obviously moved.
Although she was a practitioner, this was the first time she was interviewed. It was full of freshness. She wanted to agree immediately, but she still didn't say the words. Instead, she turned to look at Cheng Lin - he hadn't spoken yet.
.
"I thought that if such a big media wanted to interview, they would go to the senior officials. We are just ordinary students, so I'm afraid we won't be able to provide anything of value."
Cheng Lin instinctively refused.
In his opinion, these Western reporters are very good at asking questions. The questions they ask are often extremely sharp and full of pitfalls. If you are not careful, you will fall into them.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be careful when answering. Cheng Lin was worried that something might go wrong.
Evelin immediately smoothed her hair and said with a smile:
"We would rather listen to the voices of ordinary people... Ah, you are not ordinary people, but I believe that as students participating in the exploration, many people will be interested in your answers."
What I'm afraid of is that many people are interested...
Cheng Lin muttered in his heart. Before he could refuse, he saw that Evelin had already turned on the recorder, then moved her hair in a professional manner and asked:
"We understand that many students here just arrived today. When did you arrive at the Tenth Academy?"
Cao Wei blinked and opened her mouth to answer, but suddenly felt pain in her thigh.
She turned to look at Cheng Lin and swallowed her words again.
Cheng Lin took back his hand on Cao Wei's left leg, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying:
"No comment."
Evelin was stunned for a moment, then smiled stiffly:
"Okay, let's change the topic. In the afternoon, Team Leader Xing from your country held a meeting. Did you attend?"
Cheng Lin: "No comment."
"...Then, do you have confidence in defeating the superpowers of the Soviet Union this time?" Evelin kept a stiff smile.
Cheng Lin blinked: "No comment."
"Okay, so when you come here to eat tonight, are there no meals arranged for you?...We can finally talk about this, right?" Evelin took a deep breath and continued to ask.
Cheng Lin smiled: "I have nothing to report."
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Evelin seemed not to know what to say, and then the waiter finally broke the awkward situation by saying "The dumplings are ready!"
"Well, today's interview ends here. I wish you all a satisfactory harvest in this exploration." Evelin put away the recorder, stood up, and said helplessly.
"Thank you." Cheng Lin responded gently.
After seeing off the two reporters, Cheng Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for Cao Wei next to her, she curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "You have wasted my opportunity to become famous."
"You still want to be famous? It's better not to be famous like this," Cheng Lin shook his head and laughed, "You'd better order your own dishes."
…
…
The other side.
Evelin and her colleagues walked out of the store carrying cooked dumplings.
Walk along the street towards the intersection. After a while, you stop in front of a car at the intersection.
After knocking on the window, the car door opened, and three similarly dressed people were sitting inside chatting about something. When they saw them coming back, they all said:
"You're back? Have you bought any dumplings?"
"I bought it, here it is for you."
Evelin weakly handed over the packaged food, and then slowly got into the car.
A middle-aged bearded man in the car with a work badge on his chest noticed that her expression was wrong and couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Evelin, what happened? You seem to be in a bad mood."
At this time, everyone also noticed Evelin who looked like a defeated rooster.
"When I was in the restaurant, I happened to meet two Xia Guo supernatural beings. They were very young and were students. I thought of doing a roadside interview."
"What's the result? Did you get any valuable information?"
The bearded man's eyes lit up and he asked.
Evelin chuckled, shrugged, told the story in full, then scratched her hair depressedly, and sighed:
"The political sensitivity of this Xiaguo students is too high!"
After hearing this, the colleagues started to comfort and persuade Evelin to cheer up, as there would definitely be another chance in the future.
"Okay, okay, am I such a easily frustrated person?"
Evelin's mood recovered a lot, she said, and then she laughed and said: "By the way, where's my share of dumplings? I'm so hungry."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the colleague sitting at the back of the car suddenly scream strangely and said in a miserable tone:
“Why are there eggs here?!”
…
…
In a restaurant.
Cheng Lin silently looked at the home-cooked dishes piled on two tables, and Cao Wei who rolled up her sleeves and ate hard. Facing the strange looks from other guests, Cheng Lin couldn't help but cover his face.
"What are you looking at? Ni Ye is crazy..."
Cao Wei raised her head, puffed out her cheeks, and chewed her food.
"You eat first, you eat first, slow down, no one will compete with you, do you want a drink?"
"kindness!"
I stood up and went to get two cans of Coke, and also took two heads of garlic from the cabinet.
Cheng Lin suddenly saw a car whizzing past outside the door.
His eyes followed the red car lights away, and he couldn't help but frown, thoughtfully.
