Looking at the figure walking away quickly, Zhang Ke still had countless questions in his mind, but seeing Sister Lan's attitude just now, he understood that he would not be able to figure it out in a short time, so he turned back and asked Ritsuko:
"Do you have any impression of her? Do you know what the relationship between this person and your Shanghai Flower Bar is?"
"I don't know-" Ritsuko shook her head, although she did know that Lan Yinghua was the woman who appeared in Black Crow's room and was the one who arranged for Zhang Ke to save her.
But after that incident, the other party went out of his way to find me and asked me to conceal everything I knew about her, especially the part related to Guixu, and not to tell anyone.
Out of gratitude to her savior, Ritsuko had no position to refuse the other party's request. In addition, she really didn't understand why this woman, who was clearly affiliated with the scientific research department of the Guixu Organization, seemed to be against the Black Crow.
"It seems that you are in a very good state of mind now. Compared with the last time I picked you up on the street, you have cheered up more than a little bit."
Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded from his ears. Zhang Ke looked up and saw that it was Xu Xiaoli who had brought twice as many colorful cocktails and came behind him:
"I'm sorry that I lied to you before. Now, I bought you this glass of wine. It's my apology."
As she spoke, she readily pushed the cocktail in her left hand in front of Zhang Ke. Zhang Ke hesitated for a moment and glanced at the glass of wine in his right hand, as if he was suspicious of something.
Indeed, he was deceived into a nursing home by Xu Xiaoli and was illegally imprisoned. Although he now knows the real reason for this through Ritsuko, Zhang Ke still has an instinctive vigilance towards the woman who has deceived him.
"Okay, let me give you the cup I have in my hand. After all, I have lied to you so hard, you won't believe that I am normal." Xu Xiaoli's emotional intelligence is so high that it is difficult to see someone like her in a romantic field.
A well-informed person can naturally tell the true thoughts of others through the joy and anger on their faces at a glance.
She also understands that intellectual acceptance and emotional belief are two different things. Although they are related to each other, there is also a time difference. She is definitely not fully trusted by Zhang Ke now, so she simply admits this openly and will
Another glass of wine that he was going to drink was placed in front of Zhang Ke to dispel his doubts, and he added with a smile:
"Don't worry, this is pure wine, without any drugs, including quantitative reagents used to strengthen the mental will. After all, this is my apology wine, not mental treatment or training."
"There's no need to exchange, I'll just drink the same cup as before." Seeing Xu Xiaoli's honesty, Zhang Ke was too embarrassed to dwell on the past and put the colorful cocktail to his lips.
——After all, to be fair, the other party did help her drive away the gangsters who were looking for trouble, and also provided her with a comfortable bed and delicious food when she was poor and sick. Even in the process of organizing the escape, she did not do anything that would actually cause harm.
Regarding the matter of his own body, now that he understands their intentions and has decided to join in, it is natural that he should put an end to the past.
"Wow, this wine is a bit spicy - but strangely, it has a very fresh fruity aroma in your mouth." Zhang Ke drank the cocktail in one gulp, then stuck out his tongue and sighed, "I have never tasted such a strange drink before.
cocktails.”
"That's right, this is our bartender's trump card. Even if you travel all over the world, you won't be able to drink an alcoholic drink with such a novel taste - and his masterpieces are not limited to this one." Xu Xiaoli saw Zhang Ke
He seemed to really like the cocktails here, so he waved enthusiastically towards the center of the bar and said enthusiastically:
"Master Kang Kai, here are a few more glasses of your most proud creation... Well, let's have a glass each of Golden Time, Paradise on the Other Side, Fireflies in Clear Summer, and Purple Road in the Red Dust."
Xu Xiaoli announced this long list of elegant and literary words. When you listen carefully, you can see that they are all the names of homemade cocktails. It seems that this bartender named Kang Kai is not only highly skilled and has novel ideas, but also a person with a deep heart.
Literary youth.
Zhang Ke took advantage of the situation and looked towards the location of the other party, only to realize that he was the bartender at the original location of the Shanghai Flower Bar. Even in the face of Black Crow's men, he was still neither humble nor overbearing, calm and calm, and not at all ordinary.
bartender.
It seems that he has successfully evacuated here. He will probably stay in this new stronghold and continue his original work in the future, right? Presumably he is also a collaborator of Lao Ji and knows the existence and purpose of Shanghai Flower and even its predecessor, Bianhua Flower.
And do your best to provide assistance.
In fact, bartending may not be his main job, but just one of his hobbies. The job of bartender is just a secular identity used to hide from others.
"If you order so much wine at once, be careful of getting drunk." After hearing Xu Xiaoli's instructions, Kang Kai raised his head and showed an elegant and profound smile, showing a unique middle-aged male charm.
"It doesn't matter, even if it's to celebrate the success of our operation today, we still have to stay drunk!" Xu Xiaoli said without hesitation, while taking a freshly mixed cup of pink, purple and pink cocktail from the other party's hand,
While holding Zhang Ke's shoulders with her white and soft arms, she leaned in front of him and said softly:
"I just heard Ritsuko say that you are willing to help us and become our companion, right?"
"Well, of course I can't tolerate the existence of black hands who can even manipulate time. Even if it's to help Ritsuko, I have no intention of quitting now... Uh, by the way, are we too close?"
Zhang Ke's face turned red because Xu Xiaoli's plump breasts were almost touching the back of his head. Even though he always considered himself a gentleman, he began to feel his chest beating wildly and his mind began to wander.
However, Xu Xiaoli's demeanor seemed quite natural. From the moment she hooked Zhang Ke's shoulder with her hand, she did not show any sense of over-intimate intimacy. It seemed that the two had been close friends who had known each other for a long time.
There is no need to pay attention to the little boundaries between men and women.
This is probably why Xu Xiaoli is so popular, right? What is more attractive than her charming appearance is her naturally close temperament, her gift of intimacy that can naturally bring strangers closer together.
Even people like me, who had some grudges because of being deceived by her, slowly began to let go of their guard after Xu Xiaoli's simple actions and words, and couldn't bear to reject others thousands of miles away.
.
And if someone who had no grudge against her originally was taken seriously by her and launched a concentrated attack, it wouldn't take long for her to lose her position and her heart would be wide open.
"Huh? So you care about this? It doesn't matter. We girls don't care. You, a big man, are still so reserved." When Xu Xiaoli heard Zhang Ke's words, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. Her smile was bright but not corrupt.
Like a tuberose blooming in the feasting, light and shadow.
However, unlike those ordinary coquettish bitches, after knowing Zhang Ke's reaction, Xu Xiaoli did not take advantage of the other person's shyness to get closer to the physical distance between the two, violate the other person's moral defense line, and make the other person's psychological
