Basically I pulled a couple of pictures from one of my favorite comic!

Hotel fantasy, best hotel of city z. It is specialised in preparing spontaneous delicacy of the nation and splendid cuisines of western Europe and Asia. The chefs in there are world class cutlery experts. Very skilled and professional.

Inside the reserved room, on the fifth floor, set two people reading the menu. Kim was speechless after glancing over the prices of foods and drinks.

She glanced at the man sitting in front of her, seems to be unaffected by drill that will occur in his wallet.

"I don't have any preferences so please order something for me yourself." Kim spoke gently to him. After all, this was a date. 
Kim didn't like to live on other's money, she had her own money which she usually spent on things that attracts her and food was number one of them, but it  imprudent to use his money like water since this was their first.

If it was some other man, kim would proudly use it till her satisfaction but it was his, her Mr. dreamy's money, and would never want to use shamelessly...
"Fine! What do you prefer, western or chinese food? Maya thought for a moment before replying. " chinese... because I'm not good with western dishes!" she smiled revealing her Colgate white teeth beneath her sweet pink lips.

Lu Bohai stared at her in daze. She really looked enchanting in her black  dress with sleeves up to her elbow and a messy hair bun and curled fringes in front of her ears. She wore a black smart watch on her left wrist, and flat shoes.

He wasn't sure but he really didn't want to take his eyes off her. As he was staring at her, Kim also stared back at him but... They were now devoured in each other's eye's.

 It was like their soul was United and communicating with eyes. As they say... eyes are the mirrors of our soul.

Without any words, the defeaning silence was all between them until...

*Cough*** The waitress stood with a notebook beside them.

The man straightened up and ordered a few chinese dishes of his choice and once he was done ordering, he turned to her and she nodded her head. 

Woww, first meet up and talking in signal language.... good start Kim... good start!
Kim cheered for herself inwardly as she blushed unaware that the man had suddenly taken his phone out and took her picture where she was darm red!

Afterwards.... He dropped her at home and said that he'll like to go out with her another time, to which Kim excitedly acquiesced to.

She laid on her bed after shower.... unable to focus on her work. Everywhere she looked was him and only him! 

Her room was filled with his posters...
"Please look, the way in which, I love you...
Everywhere is filled with your picture.
Hmmm mmm mmm hmmm
Aaah haa haa ....

Please look, the way in which, I love you...
Everywhere is filled with your photo....
...
Is it at test, confession it may be....
Is it at test, confession it may be...
I acknowledge you as my faith ...
I acknowledge you as my faith....
laa laa laaa laaa
Hmm Mmm mmm...

I thought that, until you return, I'll continue talking, with pictures of your..  
.. I'll smile a little... I'll cry a little... I'llcontinue to meet with your pictures...
It's hard to live without seeing you,
Everywhere is filled with your pictures."

She sang as she touched the walls on her room filled with this picture and posters. She would kiss his cheeks and lips and rub her nose against his.
....

Hi friends I'll continue to update but may miss a day and then update.... sorry but please comment if you like this book or not....
Love you! And hope to heard backfrom all of you.

❤

The two female tourists stood in front of the menu, whispering as if they were discussing.
For a long time, the round-faced young lady looked at Xia Yu who was behind the counter and smiled. "Ahaha... Well, can the price be lower? Friendly price? Make it a 10% discount, oh, no, 20% discount. Of course, 30% off is also fine. We are going to order three small dishes to try."
"I am not the owner of the restaurant yet."
Xia Yu spread out his hands and said, "I am only a chef. So, I'm sorry about the price."
The two women heard the words and looked at each other helplessly.
"It's like going to the hotel for a luxury meal!" The round-faced lady gritted her teeth. "I'll say it first. If the food in your restaurant is not good, I will expose this on my Weibo!"
This young lady lifted her chin in a dignified manner and said, "Don't underestimate me. I'm a celebrity on the internet. I have 600,000 followers on Weibo and some reputation in the food industry!"
Xia Yu stunned for a minute and looked at her lovely face suspiciously.
"Are you a well-known food blogger?"
Xia Yu put his hands under his chin and suddenly said, "How about this? I will give you a free sample. You can help me write an article on Weibo and publicize it so that every Chinese in Japan knows that there is such a super authentic Chinese restaurant in Ameyoko! "
The round-faced lady heard this, and after only a few seconds of being entangled, she shook her head and said with a straight face, "No!"
"I write food travel notes on Weibo as a hobby. It does not involve any commercial content!"
Xia Yu shrugged.
"Well, I can only do everything I can to satisfy you and let you write an article voluntarily..."
Two female tourists ordered the three dishes of beef lungs in chili sauce, sweet and sour pork and squirrel-shaped bass. The total price was 11,000 yen.
Beef lungs in chili sauce was relatively simple amongst three dishes.
Many days ago, the old man cut the beef into pieces, mixed it with the ox tongue, ox heart, and tripe, and marinated them with spices, salt, pepper and other seasonings. They were simmered and cooked. After finishing, they were picked up to dry and cut into slices. Large and small slices were ready for use.
After it was ordered, the chef just needed to place the thin slices on the plate, add marinade, soybean oil, pepper noodles, red oil chili, sesame, peanuts, and celery. After stirring it well, it could be served on the table.
So, the first dish that Xia Yu served was beef lungs in chili sauce.
 "Please enjoy!"
Xia Yu turned back to work in the kitchen after putting down the plate.
"There is nothing special comparing it with domestic beef lungs in chili sauce!"
The round-faced young lady took a photo of the cuisine with her fruit phone. "Leave the evidence first, then use the chopsticks!"
The goddess girlfriend sat beside her and seemed to be completely used to her behavior.
"I feel that this scent is unusual..." The goddess girl first used chopsticks. She picked up a slice of thinly sliced ​​beef and sent to her mouth. The flavor of various spices, mixed inside the beef, completely combined together. The taste broke out in the mouth.
Suddenly, an illusion appeared in front of her. She lived on a grassland. The grass at the bottom of her feet was not emerald green, but the bright red of the chili, and even the air was filled with the Sichuan pepper.
A group of healthy cattle ran past, full of energy, but the girl rounded her eyes in surprise.
These cows were not domesticated yak, nor milk cows. They seemed to have just taken a bath from the marinade river, and their body was full of spice and oil.
She chewed the beef slices unconsciously. When the chewed beef was swallowed in one go, those incredible illusions disappeared in front of her eyes. The goddess girl opened her mouth slightly in surprise. Her cheeks were hot, and she was brightly blushed.
"Delicious!"
"So delicious!"
Next to her, her girlfriend was experiencing the same euphoria with closed eyes and enjoying the illusion of food.
When Xia Yu brought out the second dish that was sweet and sour pork, the whole dish of beef lungs in chili sauce had been wiped out.
He put the sweet and sour pork down and he was confused.
"I haven't gotten you rice, but the dish is empty…"
"No, no, we don't need rice anymore. We just need to eat the dish." The round-faced young lady didn't even lift her head as she was staring firmly at the dishes on the table that emitted a rich flavor of meat.
One had to say that just looking at the bright red color of the dishes and the broccoli dotted on the plate would make people have good appetite.
Especially since the sweet and sour pork also had a unique sweet and sour flavor, which made the stomach secrete acid.
"Wait, there is one more dish. I'll serve you some rice first!"
Xia Yu ran back and forth in the kitchen and the storefront.
Fortunately, there were only two female guests in the restaurant tonight, otherwise it would be too busy.
"Finally, the last squirrel-shaped bass is done!"
About half an hour later, Xia Yu gasped and put a large plate of fish in front of the two women.
"Please enjoy!"
This time, Xia Yu was in no hurry to leave. He stood behind the counter and glanced over.
As expected, the second dish of sweet and sour pork was also empty, and the two bowls of rice were almost half eaten. The goddess girl touched her belly. Obviously, she was full. Her cheeks were still flushed, and her eyes were blurred.
As for the round-faced young lady, she bowed her head and used her mobile phone to concentrate on writing things. When Xia Yu spoke when he was serving, she never looked up.
"Writing a Weibo post?" Xia Yu curiously leaned over.
She was writing a Weibo post for sure, and she wrote at least a few hundred words with pictures. The shooting angles were very good. Even without post-processing, the Chinese cuisine on the picture looked so delicious, just enough to evoke people's appetite.
Hey!
Xia Yu grinned when he saw the two pictures of the two dishes. Beef lungs in chili sauce and sweet and sour pork.
The little girl was quite nice. It was worth for him to devote himself wholeheartedly to cook the next two dishes.
Xia Yu poked her with his finger and reminded: "Don't worry, take a picture of the last squirrel-shaped bass first. You can write down your thoughts after tasting, along with the pictures and texts to complete it!"
The cry of excitement spread all around the shop.
Among the three courses, the most artistic was the squirrel-shaped bass!
A large fish on a white and clean round porcelain plate, as if it had just jumped out from the pond. The tail and head were raised high, and the body was decorated with colorful ingredients.
Green beans, pine nuts, corn kernels...
The two Chinese female tourists couldn't bear to use their chopsticks. Finally, under the urging of Xia Yu, they picked up a piece of fried yellow fish and sent it to their mouths to chew slowly.
Less than ten minutes later, the whole fish was wiped out, leaving only the tail and head. No fish bones were visible.
This squirrel-shaped bass actually required a bit of a knife skill. When processing fish, he not only cut flower slices in the fish meat, but also cut along the keel of the fish from the head to the tail. He carefully cut the fish into two pieces and removed the fish bone. But the fish tail had to be connected so that the two pieces of fish would not be separated.
Xia Yu silently brewed a cup of barley tea for the two.
The two younger girls couldn't move any more as they were too full and satisfied.
"Evaluate it." Xia Yu pointed to three plates with nothing left. "Which dish do you think is the most delicious?"
He thought that both of them would have to think about it. Who knew that the younger girl with a round face and the goddess girl both said at the same time: "Beef lungs in chili sauce!"
"…"
What the f*ck!
At that time Xia Yu's face turned green.
In the backyard of the shop, the old man sat in the corridor, put down the teacup and showed a strange smile.
The expression seemed to say: kid, you are too naïve!


Xia Yu made a wish to eat until he vomited. And this particular wish brought him to a completely strange spirit world which was full of cuisines.
What, Chef God System?
"You need to not only satisfy normal people's appetite but also all kinds of devils and ghosts. Use your food to move them!" the old man said to him coolly.
So, Xia Yu would never stop running on the road of becoming a Chef God.
 

Fang Chixia was a bit speechless at him bearing the resemblance of an emperor waiting to be served. But still, she went towards the kitchen.

After preparing and consuming the two simple breakfasts, Luo Yibei drove to Rongxi.

For some reason, he took the initiative to give her voluntary offer for a ride.

Fang Chixia was going to Rongxi too. but how could she go with him? so she refused him.

Luo Yibei left after her answer with some suspicion.

After Fang Chixia sent him away. She still didn't feel relieved until his car shadow disappeared completely. Only then did she turn to a nearby bus stop.

In the evening, after a long day's work in Rongxi, she still didn't go home immediately. But as before, she settled in a restaurant near their home to have dinner before returning home.

Who knew that Luo Yibei's figure would suddenly appear through the clean glass window in front of her before she could order with the menu in hand.

Shocked at his sudden appearance, Fang Chixia's complexion changed as she stared at him out of the window.

She picked up the menu in an attempt to block her face, however, with no action yet, whether it was coincidence or not, the man's vision swung in her direction in a flash.

Since she was already seen, Fang Chixia also did not hide. She smiled guiltily and looked down at the menu.

Luo Yibei slowly walked in from the outside and fixed his eyes on her all the way. His eyes were sharp parallel to somebody who was studying something.

Moving his eyes on her up and down several times, he took the seat opposite hers. "What a coincidence?"

"Yes, yes. Ah, it's a coincidence." Fang Chixia's heart was on seven up, eight down, but her face remained unmoved.

(*"七上八下" – a Chinese expression that literally means Seven up, eight down to describe the feeling of being agitated.)

"Were you just passing by the neighborhood?" Luo Yibei raised his eyebrows and asked again.

"I was looking for a part-time job nearby, and just came in on the way." Fang Chixia explained.

"Is that right?" Luo Yibei tapped his phone's screen with his fingertips, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fang Chixia was afraid that he would continue cross-examining her so she hurriedly diverted the topic, "Are you here for dinner too? What would you like toat? I'll treat you!"

"Your treat?" He drawled these words longer, his eyes lifted brimming with disbelief.

Fang Chixia didn't understand why he showed such a look. In her mind, she thought that it was a meal would only be a few tens of yuan, what does it matter?

"What do you want to eat? Would you order yourself or should I help you?" She handed him the menu and even opened it up for him thoughtfully.

The menu there was not priced, all were only in pictures with their names. Fang Chixia didn't know how much was charged for each specific dish.

Luo Yibei's gaze landed on the menu. Others order according to the dishes, but for him it was by page. He directly pointed, "One of this page, this page and this page!"

Fang Chixia looked at all the meat and felt her side hurting. He really wasn't polite enough!

Would the money she'll spend for her treat be considered money?

"Can you finish eating all of that? If you waste food, you'll be damned!" Fang Chixia warned seriously.

"Since Miss Fang is treating, shouldn't I be sincere?" Luo Yibei tossed the menu aside without any thought that his behavior was wrong.

Fang Chixia was rendered speechless so she shut her mouth and didn't speak again.

Forget it. Let him waste it!

She thought to herself that she usually only spends a few dozen of dollars for a meal. With the amount he ordered, it now would be a few hundred dollars. It was still within her budget only that it would be four or five times her usual rate.

He is the legendary powerhouse, the king of the business empire. She is just an ordinary female student. they are world apart from each other but she some how requested him to marry her and he accepted it and their story begins....... 



it's short and cute love story and I am only using the idea of original author, but how is it going to be it's totally upto me........

首席老公霸道宠：宝贝，继续 it's original book

Two female tourists stood in front of the menu and whispered, seemingly discussing.

    For a long time, the round-faced young lady looked at Xia Yu after the counter and smiled and said: "Ah, haha... That, can the price be less? Friendship price, a 10% discount, oh, no 20% off, of course you are willing 30% off, we are going to order three small dishes to taste."

    "I am not the owner of the restaurant now."

    Xia Yu spreads: "It's just a chef. So the price is very sorry." The

    two women heard, Looking at each other.

    "When is a luxury hotel to a meal!" Round-faced little sister to bite the bullet, "start with the good, ah, if you store food is not good, I may in their own microblogging exposed!"

    Said, The young lady lifted her chin and said: "Don't underestimate me, I am a net red, Weibo fan is 600,000, and there are some famous reputations in the food industry!"

    Hey, Xia Yuhu suspected her That lovely face.

    "You are still a well-known food blogger?"

    Hand held the chin, Xia Yu suddenly said: "If you don't, I will give you a free copy of this, you help me write a soft article on Weibo, publicity, let the Japanese people Everyone knows that Ami Yokocho has such a super authentic Chinese restaurant!"

    Miss Miss Face, heard the words, only tangled for a few seconds, just shook her head in the face:

    "No!"

    "I wrote a food tour on Weibo is just a hobby. , does not involve any commercial content!"

    Xia Yu shrugged.

    "Well, I only have to make every effort to make you satisfied, and voluntarily write a soft article..."

    Two female tourists ordered the three dishes of husband and wife, sweet and sour pork tenderloin and squirrel squid. 11,000 baht.

    The practice of husband and wife in these three dishes is relatively simple.

    Many days ago, the old man cut the beef into pieces, and mixed with the beef tongue, beef heart, and beef belly. They were marinated with spices, salt, pepper noodles and other seasonings. They were cooked in a fiery fire and then fished and dried. Size sheets are ready for use.

    When ordering, just order the slices to be used, add marinade, soybean oil, pepper noodles, red pepper, sesame, peanuts and celery. Stir well and serve on the table.

    Therefore, Xia Yu first gave the two women up, is a couple of color red lips.

    "Please use!"

    Put down the plate, Xia Yu turned back to the kitchen desk busy.

    "Compared with the domestic couple's lungs, there is nothing special!"

    The young lady with a round face holds a fruit phone and takes a picture of the food. "Leave the evidence first, then move the chopsticks!" The

    goddess Fan's girlfriend sits next to him. It seems to be completely accustomed to her behavior.

    "I always feel that this fragrance is unusual..." Miss Shen of the goddess Fan first puts the chopsticks, picks up a thin slice of beef, and sends it to the import. The taste of various spices, mixed with beef flavor, is completely aggregated. Burst out in the mouth.

    There seems to be an illusion in front of her. She lives on the prairie. The grass at the bottom of her feet is not the green color, but the bright red of the pepper. Even the air is filled with the scent of pepper.

    A group of healthy cows ran past and were full of energy, but Miss Sister rounded her eyes in surprise.

    These cows are not consuming cows, and there are no milk spots, just like the freshly scented oil that has just been bathed out of the marinated river.

    Unconsciously chewing beef slices, when the chewed beef is swallowed, the incredible illusions disappear in front of you. The young lady of the goddess Fan surprised her mouth slightly, her cheeks hot, and she was dyed with a bright red.

    "It's delicious!"

    "Too delicious!"

    Next to her, it was the same face that was intoxicated with closed eyes and enjoying the illusion of food.

    When Xia Yu brought the second sweet and sour pork ribs up, a whole set of husband and wife lungs had been wiped out.

    He put the sweet and sour pork ridge down and covered his black line.

    "I haven't given you a meal yet, the food is gone..."

    "No, no, no need to go to rice, we only have to eat." The lady with a round face doesn't lift her head, and she keeps her eyes on the table. A rich, meaty dish.

    I have to say that the brilliance of the dishes, as well as the broccoli dotted on the plate, make people appetite.

    In particular, the sweet and sour pork ridge has a unique sweet and sour taste, which is a sharp secretion of stomach acid.

    "You wait, there is a dish, I will give you food first!"

    So Xia Yu continued to be busy, running back and forth in the kitchen and store.

    Fortunately, there are only two female guests in the store tonight, otherwise they will be too busy to turn around.

    "Oh... the last squirrel squid is done!" After

    about half an hour, Xia Yu was breathing heavily, putting a large dish of fish in front of the two women.

    "Please use!"

    This time, Xia Yu is not in a hurry, standing at the counter and scanning the past.

    Sure enough, the second sweet and sour pork tenderloin plate was empty, and the two bowls of rice were almost half eaten. The young lady of the goddess Fan touched her stomach, apparently full, and her cheeks were still flushed and her eyes blurred.

    As for the round-faced young lady, she bowed her head and said something with her mobile phone. Xia Yu was so embarrassed when she was serving, and she did not wake her up.

    "Writing Weibo?" Xia Yu curiously scraped it.

    It is indeed writing Weibo, and it has written hundreds of words, with pictures, and the shooting angle is very good. Even without post-processing, the Chinese cuisine on the map is so delicious and enough to evoke people. Appetite.

    Hey!

    Seeing the two dishes on the picture, husband and wife lung slices and sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Xia Yu grinned and smiled.

    The little girl is quite good at the road, not to mention his full commitment to the cooking of the two dishes.

    With a finger poked her, Xia Yu reminded: "Don't worry, take the last squirrel squid and take a picture. After the test, write your thoughts, and the pictures will be complete, so that it is complete!" The

    exclamation was spread throughout the store. .

    Among the three dishes, the most artistic, I am afraid this squirrel squid!

    A large fish is on a white, polished porcelain plate, as if it had just leaped from the pond, the fishtail and head were raised high, and the body was dotted with colorful ingredients.

    Green beans, pine nuts, corn kernels...

    Two Chinese female tourists, a little can not bear to chopsticks, and finally under the urging of Xia Yu, only picked up a piece of fried yellow fish, sent into the mouth and chewed slowly.

    Within ten minutes, the whole fish was destroyed, leaving only the fish tail and the fish head, and no fish bones were seen.

    This squirrel squid is actually a bit of a knife. When dealing with fish, not only cut the flowers in the fish, but also follow the keel of the fish, shaved from the head to the tail, carefully cut the fish into two pieces, completely remove the fish bones. But if the fish tail is connected, it is impossible to separate the two pieces of fish.

    Xia Yu silently gave the two people a cup of barley tea to get tired of eating and drinking.

    Satiate and full, the two young ladies have a little bit of walking, one is satisfied.

    "Evaluate it." Xia Yu pointed to three plates with only broth left. "Which dish do you think is the best?"

    He thought that both of them had to worry about it. Who knows just asked questions, The young lady of the face, and the young lady of the goddess Fan, all the same voice: "The husband and wife lungs!"

    "..."

    "I will swear - the dog!"

    At that time, Xia Yu's face was green.

    In the backyard of the shop, the old man sitting on the corridor, put down the teacup, revealing a smile of a fox.

    That expression seems to be saying:

    Kid, you are still tender!

"I'm so sorry!" Realizing what she had done, she folded her hands and began apologizing profusely. 　　
Thankfully, she wasn't the type to exert harm subconsciously and didn't use much force. Had she used her full force, Zhong Ningtao would have broken bones. His head was spinning as he massaged his sore spots, consoling her.
"Don't worry, I can take quite a beating."
Jesus, this girl's innocent looks belied the "terror" beneath!
Lou Cheng shuffled beside him, glancing at the other side of the hall.
"Guide Zhong, those two Japanese are looking at us," he said in a hushed voice.
Though hardly distinguishable in foreigners' eyes, the Chinese and Japanese can differentiate between themselves easily, as if they were of a completely different kind.
"Ha ha, don't worry about it, that's just how they gather information," explained Zhong Ningtao. "They are very serious and obstinate when it comes to work. The Shengxiang organizing committee should have received our information long ago, funny how these Japanese appeared before them..."
He glanced at his watch impassively. "It's six-thirty now, no changes in time zone. You guys can take a break in your rooms for now. We'll gather here again at seven before heading out for dinner. We won't be doing much for the first few days, so we can take the time to relax and play around a little before the competition day. Anyways, what do you guys want for dinner? Any suggestions?"
"I'm fine with anything." Peng Leyun replied nonchalantly as he swept his eyes through the many golden statues in the hotel, then falling into deep thought again. 
"You choose," replied Ann Chaoyang with his headphones wrapped around his neck. One hand in his pocket, the other dragging a suitcase, he examined the passing foreign hotel guests in a relaxed manner.
"I'm not picky with food, I swear!" promised Ren Li.
Zhong Ningtao tossed a pleading look at Lou Cheng, elated as he noticed him browsing through a review app.
"Guide Zhong, let me look through the reviews and see what good restaurants are here. We can discuss it more later."
Good food is the most important thing when travelling!
At least that was true for "lame" travelers like him and Ke. To them, the atmosphere between the two came first, delicacies second, culture third, and beautiful scenery last.
"Okay, add me on Wechat later." Zhong Ningtao replied, feeling oddly grateful.
Lou Cheng didn't use Wechat much in the past, but since it was popular between the adults he got to know recently, he started getting used to it and even began to find it "more chill" than other apps. He was actually thinking about recommending it to Ke.
After scanning the QR code, the group of them got in the lift and "escorted" Ren Li to her room before they dispersed.
Lou Cheng put down his belongings and began to browse through the review app as he sat on the bed. After a short discussion with the guide, they decided on a Shengxiang specialty restaurant.
He had then realized that that Zhong Ningtao had already emailed him his opponents' data, which he downloaded and began browsing.
"Kaori Karasawa, 22, descendant of the Japanese Xinzhai Sect, 6th Dan Black belt holder (equivalent to Fifth Pin in China) and has reached the "Qi" stage at the end of the previous year (equivalent to Inhuman stage in China). She is famed as a beautiful genius that appears only once in every three thousand years, though this is likely a typical exaggeration from the Japanese. In comparison, Peng Leyun was a cut above her when he was her age."
There were many Sects in the Japan martial art scene and the government standardized the measurement of strength by Dan. White belt represented amateurs and black belt represented samurais. There were Nine Dans in total, with 1st Dan as the lowest and 9th Dan the highest. 8th to 9th Dan were equivalent to the 1st to 3rd Pin of China.
She should have been twenty-one and a half at the end of last year, to have reached the equivalent of Inhuman stage at that age... what a formidable opponent..., thought Lou Cheng as he scrolled on. There was a picture of Kaori Karasawa and a summary on the Xinzhai Sect.
She was undoubtedly a beauty, a little over 5 feet tall, with soft and smooth baby fat on her cheeks that added to her cuteness.
Lou Cheng skimmed through to the next participant.
"Mouko Yamashita, turning 24, descendant of the Japanese Extreme Hadou Style, 5th Dan Black Belt holder, recently mastered Hadou in May, quasi-Inhuman stage."
He was a large guy with thick eyebrows, a brutish appearance and disturbingly well-defined muscles. 
"Wahku, recently 23, disciple to the Shangzuo Buddhist Sect, a Sadhu with the title of Arhat, has mastered the "Equanimity towards Formations Knowledge" stage in "16 Insight Knowledges", somewhat equivalent to Inhuman stage..."
"Veigar, 23 and a half, the son of a Miluo warlord, capable of thunder and lightning supernatural abilities and practices the powerful Miluo Martial Art. Power cannot be measured as there are no measurement systems in Miluo, but roughly at the same level as Kaori Karasawa, one of the two favorites in this competition."
"Banam, 22, Nan Zheng representative, the young creator of the Sect "Zhahe Boxing", savage in his attacks, malicious to others and even more so to himself. They run the same martial art system as us and he had recently reached the Inhuman stage..."
Shengxiang, Miluo and Nanzheng were close to the war torn areas and often slid into political turmoil—one ruled by a king, another split and governed separately by multiple warlords. The last one was under a military regime, therefore women did not have many rights in the country and it wasn't easy for them to learn Kungfu.
Lou Cheng kept scrolling. One page flashed after the other as he formed a vague impression of his three opponents' appearances. Wahku looked no different from most Sadhus, gaunt and cadaverous and a yellowish complexion, wearing a red robe and no shoes, but his eyes spoke of a profoundness of enlightenment. Wei Jia was a muscular guy with a cold countenance donned in a navy blue military uniform. Banam hardly stood at 6 feet , boasting a tanned body with white bandages wrapped around his wrists and feet.
Apart from the five of them, Zhong Ningtao listed a few other martial artists of varying nationalities to watch out for. After skimming, Lou Cheng picked up his phone which he had purchased an international data package for, pocketed his wallet, and took the elevator down to the first floor where he awaited his teammates' arrival.
Zhong Ningtao made the right decision this time to personally escort Ren Li from her room so she doesn't lose her way in the "mountains of people" in the hotel.
"We'll be eating here," announced Zhong Ningtao, pointing to the name of the restaurant he and Lou Cheng had decided on.
"Sure," agreed Ann Chaoyang and the others, who just went with the flow.
When they were at the hotel entrance and saw the masses of dark-skinned, gaunt Shengxiangese, Lou Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Guide Zhong, you can speak Shengxiangese right?"
Zhong Ningtao looked at him, then at the others who had the same question, and shot them a look that said "Why would you guys ask such a silly question?".
"Of course not."
Of course...not... Lou Cheng was stunned as he stared at the guide he previously deemed as reliable. Even Ren Li and Peng Leyun, who were usually composed, were startled for a moment.
"Ha ha, don't worry about it. The people here can more or less understand English, which I happen to be an expert at," boasted Zhong Ningtao as he ran his hand across his waxed hair. "Didn't I handle the cab and hotel registration perfectly?"
Fair point... thought Lou Cheng as he heaved a sigh of relief.
Ann Chaoyang brooded for a few seconds, before asking bluntly,
"Guide Zhong, have you been to Shengxiang before?"
Zhong Ningtao laughed drily, then declared with honesty,
"Nope."
He quickly added, "Relax, relax. They sent me here because I'm on good terms with the people at the embassy here."
"..." Lou Cheng exchanged a glance with the rest and shared their confusion.
That wasn't reassuring at all...
Maybe we should stay in the hotel and make do with cup noodles...
After receiving strong reassurance from Zhong Ningtao and having confidence in their own martial art abilities, they decided to continue with their trip, duly following the map navigation app before finally arriving at the Shengxiang specialty restaurant that was about 700 meters away.
The buildings were heavily influenced by Buddhist architecture, statues everywhere and structures gilded in gold, producing a unique appearance.
Snap! Snap! Snap! Lou Cheng began taking pictures with his phone and sending them to Yan Zheke, hoping she could see what he saw and feel what he felt when she woke up.
Snap! Snap! Snap! Ren Li was snapping away too, half of her shots were of the scenery and the other half selfies. Before long, she was already wandering further and further away from the restaurant. Thankfully, Peng Leyun spotted her and stopped her in time.
Snap! Snap! Snap! Ann Chaoyang had a digital camera in his hands and was focused like an artist working on a sculpture.
"Why aren't you taking any pictures?" asked Zhong Ningtao as he approached Peng Leyun. "I guess a carefree guy like you probably doesn't like taking photos," he deduced.
He probably liked daydreaming more!
Peng Leyun turned his head and looked at him.
"My camera's spoilt."
"..." Zhong Ningtao winced and decided to talk to Lou Cheng instead.
As he was reaching Lou Cheng, he saw him turn towards Ann Chaoyang.
"Can you share some photos with me later? The ones I took weren't very good."
...Weren't very good? Then why did you spent all that time taking them! Zhong Ningtao, exasperated at the group he was stuck with, walked into the restaurant and booked a table for six fluent in English.
Lou Cheng sat down and flipped the menu open, shocked to find Chinese translations inside.
"How thoughtful," praised Ann Chaoyang from the bottom of his heart.
The place was boisterous and crowded.
"At least a third of the tourists here are from our country, it's not surprising for them to include Chinese translations," Zhong Ningtao explained, smiling. He motioned for the waitress and began ordering.
Halfway through the orders, the petite girl with light brown skin began rattling off in another language as the group exchanged looks of confusion.
"Can you speak English?" asked Zhong Ningtao.
The waitress nodded and began rattling off again, from which Lou Cheng barely managed to catch a few words.
Ren Li tugged at Zhong Ningtao and asked in a low voice. "What's she saying, Guide Zhong?"
"I don't know..." replied Zhong Ningtao in English, looking dumbfounded.
The waitress's accent was too thick and hard to understand.
"I'll give it a try," volunteered "model student" Peng Leyun. His attempt, accompanied by body language, had equally little success.
Ann Chaoyang and Ren Li were eager to put their own exam-style English to test, but their attempts to help also failed miserably.
Their last hope was Lou Cheng, who drew a deep breath before showcasing the spoken English he vigorously learned for the sake of Ke.
It only provoked a blank expression on the waitress's face.
Just as they were planning to resort to translation apps, the girl asked in a timid voice.
"Do. you. speak. Chinese?"
"Do you speak Chinese?"
This was understood by all of them. They paused, wide-eyed before exclaiming at once.
"You can speak Chinese?"
"Yes, my father is Chinese, there are many Chinese tourists here, they like waiters who can speak Chinese," she explained in rigid Chinese, smiling.
Lou Cheng and the rest, mentally exhausted from before, traded glances. Suddenly, they all broke into an uncontrollable laughter, bodies trembling and tears in their eyes. It felt that the ice was broken in that moment.


Here martial arts are no longer intangible legends. They have been passed on from generation to generation and from century to century. After the confrontation with science and technology, they have completely integrated into modern society and all kinds of martial arts competitions are taking place across the country as superiority among scholars are hard to reach a consensus but not as difficult among martial artists!
Lou Cheng has inherited the lost skills of the greatest martial arts sect. Towards his original dream and the glory in his heart, he advances step by step, becoming the warrior of this modern city and the hero of the era!

Li Du drank from late night until dawn. He was still able to drink, but his body was exhausted, so he excused himself.
"The person who leaves first pays the bill!" cried out a youth named Turis, smiling slyly.
Li Du replied, "Are you serious? I think that some people here know how much I can drink. If I were to go on drinking, those who would have to pay the bill later might be heartsick for quite a while."
Recalling the rumors about his drinking, Big Beard Carl said, "Hey, don't stop him! The guy just finished off half of the beer we ordered!"
Some treasure hunters hurriedly got out of his way.
Smiling, Li Du walked towards the bar. He asked the bartender, "How much is it?"
The bartender shrugged. "I haven't tallied, but about 1,500 dollars."
Li Du slapped 2,000 dollars onto the table. "The rest are tips. If it's not enough, let them pay."
Seeing this, the bartender banged the table and hollered to the treasure hunters, "You lucky b*stards, someone paid for all of you! You've become acquainted with quite a generous fellow!"
The rowdy treasure hunters turned their heads. They each gave Li Du a big thumbs up. Big Beard Carl exclaimed, "Hey, Chinaman, I like you now."
"Just don't fall in love with me." Li Du drank one last glass of beer and gestured goodbye, then went out and called a cab.
He went back to Pine Tree Tops. At this time, most families had already put their lights out. Only the streetlights and emergency lights gave out a dim, yellow glow.
The public safety of certain areas in large American cities was poor. No one usually dared to come out at night, especially in the slums.
Flagstaff was not too bad. It was a small place, where the people led more simple and honest lives.
Li Du went upstairs, opened the door and walked into the house. He took off his shirt and bared his torso. He wanted to take a shower.
"STOP!" A voice suddenly rang out, with a blinding white light flashing. "Hands on your head, get down on the floor!"
Li Du was startled by the sudden shout. When the lights came on, he was even more afraid. There was a woman pointing a pistol at him from the doorway of the study next to him!
The muzzle of the gun was pitch-black, darker than the night sky.
Li Du raised his hand and cried out, "Don't shoot! It's just me!"
The lady cop asked harshly, "Who are you? Intruding… Uh …Li?"
Li Du hastily nodded. "Yes yes yes! It's me, Li Du, your tenant!"
This was the first time he had seen the lady-cop-landlady ever since renting the place. He had been looking forward to living under the same roof as her. No matter what, Rose was a beautiful girl.
Though he hadn't seen her during the last few days, Li Du had often fantasized about how they would meet again. But none of his fantasies included anything like her pointing a gun at him!
Rose kept holding the gun, and said with dissatisfaction, "Don't you know how to knock? And what's with that stench of alcohol? Don't come back smelling like that next time!"
Li Du smiled in embarrassment. "I was at a party with a few friends, so I just drank a little."
Rose didn't say anything. Her face dark, she turned back to the study.
Before she went in, she paused and asked, "Were you the one who cleaned up the house?"
"Yes."
"Thank you." Leaving her thanks behind awkwardly, the long-legged lady cop went back into the study.
Li Du pulled at his ear. Was that a "thank you" he had heard? Maybe he'd drunk a little too much. The icy cop didn't look like the type of person who said thank you.
He looked at the hall and realized that she had put up some posters. They were of another lady cop, but a Caucasian one. Li Du recognized her as Police Chief Marge, the lead female character of Fargo.
Fargo was a very famous movie in America. It was about an unlucky car dealer who got into financial difficulties but was unable to get a loan from his wealthy father-in-law. So he hired two thugs to kidnap his own wife to get ransom money from the man. This led to a bloody series of events.
The movie had swept up all the major film awards at the time. On the posters of Fargo were images of the actress Frances McDormand who had acted as Marge; she wore sunny smiles in the pictures, her eyes clean and clear as chilled jade.
The house was quiet the next day when he woke up after a good night of sleep. Rose had probably gone to work again.
These past two days, Li Du had filled the fridge with lots of vegetables, fruits and meat. Before that, all it had contained was expired fast food and all types of junk food.
He took Ah Meow out for a run. Living in a high-end community was very nice. He could just run around the housing area, without having to go onto the streets and inhale the car's' exhaust fumes.
On the way, he planned his breakfast menu for the day. Chinese pancakes, porridge made with lean meat and century egg, and some of the sour and spicy pickled vegetables he had made himself. That seemed quite alright.
When he returned home, he decided that the first thing to do was to make the porridge. Before he went out for his run, he had cubed the lean meat and marinated it with some salt, cooking wine, cornstarch and olive oil. That way, when he came home, the marinade would more or less have soaked into the meat.
After bringing the porridge to a boil, he lowered the temperature to a simmer and scattered some ginger shreds, century egg, salt, chicken stock, and the cubes of lean meat on it. And then he just waited for it to be ready.
There was a baking pan in the kitchen. With it, making Chinese pancakes was easy.
He made some batter with eggs, flour and a little water. Scattering a lot of spring onions on it, he used just a bit of pepper as seasoning.
Scooping some batter into the baking pan, he scattered a layer of black sesame seeds onto it, closed the cover and started heating it up.
After he had properly cleaned up the kitchen, Li Du wanted to freshen up before eating. When he turned around, he saw someone standing at the door. Rose had appeared out of nowhere!
Li Du jumped in shock. So did Ah Meow. It hissed loudly, jumping about one meter high; its jumping abilities would have amazed NBA stars.
"People can scare others to death!" he cried out in Chinese.
Rose shrugged. "How can you be so timid? Are you even a man?"
Li Du started to reply without thinking, "Why don't you try…" He coughed awkwardly, stopping himself. "Anyway, you know I'm a man."
Luckily, he caught himself quickly, otherwise, he might have had to look for another place to stay for the night.
Rose was dressed casually. Her cotton clothes had ugly little flowers printed on them. But as her frame was tall, slender, there was a distinctive flavor to her style.
As he was about to eat his breakfast, Rose sat down at the table.
Li Du said, "I thought you left for work. Next time, let me know if you'll be here for breakfast so I can prepare some for you.
Rose looked at the two large Chinese pancakes, the pot of porridge and the large bowl of chili peppers splashed with oil on the table and said, "I don't eat much."
"But I do."
And Rose watched, in shock, as he ate one and a half Chinese pancakes and almost the entire pot of porridge.
The Chinese pancakes weren't small or thin like those made in roadside stalls. They had been made in a baking pan and so they were huge.
Just eating one and a half wasn't that much of a feat. What made it extraordinary was Li Du's unsatisfied expression; he was still hungry!


They love gold, and they love silver. Even more so, they love gems that dazzle, like stars across the skies. 
Firearms, jewelleries, and precious metals; A collector’s world will not be complete without antiques.  
Storage auctions, old goods trade, re-estate sales and gold-digging. But the truth is, if one wants to make money, then the supreme way is through searching for the legendary treasures. 
Holding the fort, there’s an ocelot, a wolf, and an Andes condor. At the side, there’s a loyal hound, an irascible ape, and an African honey badger. Who said that you can only rely on humans when treasure hunting?! 

Shao Yan had agreed to meet Li Xiqing and his friends at the lobby downstairs for lunch. Li Xiqing said that they would have to drive out, so they arranged it that way.

What she didn't know was that, Li Xiqing never actually agreed to this.

The whole floor 56 was full of people, hustling around, talking on the phone, or just chatted with each other. The project office was always busy with activities. Some people in the corner were even playing dart games to relieve stress.

But then it suddenly went quiet.

Their attention was on the door, looking at the newcomers who walked in with confidence. Three great gods just descended from floor 58 to bestow them a visit??

Shao Yan was arguing back and forth with a supplier on the phone. Suddenly, she felt shadows on the side covering her desk. She turned her head around and saw three gorgeous guys were looking at her and she lost her words.

O_O What?

Li Xiqing, now standing next to her, just stood silently with his hand behind her chair. He just smiled down at her.

Karl and Martin waved at her with full of enthusiasm.

And the whole project office just went crazy!

.....

Shao Yan glared at them but she still finished her call. She also decided to ignore the three of them while focusing to finish her other tasks.

The three gods didn't mind. They just stood around and talked with each other excitedly. Shao Yan could hear they were talking about the latest movie blockbuster now.

Fan jie, Lee Ying and Li Na were staring at her. Shao Yan knew it. But she chose to pretend she didn't see anything.

Huo ge and Wenhai were out of the office, on site inspection. That meant less people would teased her today.

Shao Yan just focused on finishing her work as fast as possible. So she could quickly get out from here!

.....

"Handsome brother!"

Fan jie just decided to thickened her skin and walked over to Shao Yan's desk. "Are you guys here to invite Xiao Yan for lunch?" Fan jie spoke ingratiatingly.

Li Na and Lee Ying were looking at the three men in awe. Shao Yan could only helplessly looked away.

Away from all of them!

Karl, the friendly one, answered Fan jie in mandarin, "Hello, beauty!"

Shao Yan seriously wanted to dig a hole and hide.

.....

"Yes. We are here to invite Yan Yan for lunch", Li Xiqing confirmed her guess earlier. His hands were still on the back of her chair.

Shao Yan felt her heart squeezed and her cheek warmed up when she heard Li Xiqing called her 'Yan Yan' so gently.

Lee Ying was so shocked, her mouth just went wide open and looked at Shao Yan with wide eye. She was thinking, 'Yan jie!! You strike big fat lottery!!!'

Fan jie tried to keep her cool, but she couldn't.

"Is that so?" She stroke her chin playfully, and then added, "Then, do you know that if you want to ask YAN YAN for lunch, you have to invite all three of us sisters as well?" Fan jie purposely enunciated her name when mentioning 'Yan Yan' to tease both of them.

Fan jie rounded Lee Ying and Li Na with her.

And then Fan jie turned to Karl and Martin while pointing to themselves and said in English, "Together. Together." Signalling as if they four sisters had to go together.

Li Xiqing didn't mind. He just put his right palm on Shao Yan's shoulder and stayed there, "Sure. Let's go together". He gave a little squeeze.

Shao Yan seriously couldn't stand it anymore. She decided to just abandon whatever she was doing and stood up.

"Let's go. Let's go now".

She quickly grabbed her purse and then she walked out hurriedly.

Shao Yan was so rushed, she even forgot her phone. Li Xiqing could only shook his head at her, and took her phone with him.

And now, the lunch that was meant to be for four of them, had grown to a group of seven.

.....

Since there were seven of them, they decided to take two cars.

Fan jie offered to drive, so she took Karl and Martin with her, and told Li Na and Lee Ying to go with Shao Yan and Li Xiqing. Li Xiqing told her where to go, and all of them started to drive there. 

Shao Yan got on the car. Li Xiqing looked at Shao Yan's phone and saw that her battery now was left to half. He plugged it into the car charger. Shao Yan looked at it, and didn't say anything. She felt that she had said too many 'thank you's to him.

On the way, Li Xiqing frequently talk to them, while Shao Yan was sometimes distracted with replying to her emails. She still had a lot of things to do ah~

T_T

After about thirty minutes, they arrived at their destination. It's an old Chinese style house that had been converted to a restaurant.

With 70% of the building still maintained it's originality, despite the few modern features inside, this place was very charming. The place was huge with high ceiling. Everything was decorated with vintage style. Shao Yan could not stop looking around. She promised herself, next time she would bring her camera over and took a lot of pictures.

Li Xiqing had made a reservation, and they were quickly brought to their table.

Their menu was all classic Chinese dish that had maintained it's authenticity. Li Xiqing had never been here before. He chose this place based on Shao Yan's interest on old vintage building.

He searched for a while and finally found this place with good reviews online, so he decided to try it.

Each of them ordered a dish and started to chat while waiting for their food to come.

After a deadly glare from Shao Yan, Fan jie did not dare to tease her at all. She decided to channel her excited heart to talk to Karl instead.

With Fan jie limited English, and Karl limited mandarin, everyone was looking at chicken talking to a duck.

.....

Dishes were finally here. Everything was plated with artistic sense, they looked too pretty to be eaten.

Li Xiqing, as usual, always paid attention to what Shao Yan liked to eat, and didn't like to eat. He was scooping dishes every now and then. His doting behavior really made others envious.

Shao Yan didn't feel as awkward as before when he constantly taking care of her. Sometimes, she would also scooped some food to his bowl.

Fan jie looking at them, while thinking:
Ah~ Young couple in love were so fun to watch~

His right hand touched her left upper arm, and then started to slide down to her wrist.

"In case you haven't noticed.." he started to say.

She had stiffened up, started from his initial touch.

"I'm officially pursuing you."

All she wanted was a second chance in happiness. She had been divorced for two years now and has forgotten about the idea of finding another man. But destiny is playing a cute joke on her to let her met him.

He is successful and powerful and full of distrust on women.

ps: I only write happy ending stories. This is 1v1, with a little drama here and there. But those drama only served a purpose to strengthen their relationship. Female lead here is not perfect at all. She is insecure, full of flaws and broken. Male lead is gorgeous and charming as usual. But somehow, they complete each other.

There will be no pitiful weak Cinderella stories here, no white lotus and no almighty CEO that rule the country.

I am portraying normal average people in society. So if this is not your cup of tea, feel free to move on :)

Let's embark on this love boat with me! ♥️

"Why? It's not fun to follow a group. " He personally didn't like to follow a group. It wasn't fun at all, and there were restrictions on their travel.
Shui Shui didn't say much. They ate and sat there, waiting for the time to be right before they walked over.
The two of them also embarked on their journey abroad. After boarding the plane, Qian Shuishui put on an eye mask and took a test to rest.
Qian Zhian looked around. "Sis, this first-class cabin isn't cheap, right? "
"En, you and I are going to sleep. " Shui Shui entered a state of sleep.
Qian Zhian didn't feel sleepy at all. He turned on the flying mode of his electronic devices. After they took off, he began to watch movies. When he was tired, he would rest. Fortunately, they were in first-class, which was much more comfortable than the economy class. It was his first time going abroad. Although it felt strange today, he felt a little scared after getting on the plane because he didn't know how to speak these kinds of words when facing foreigners. "I don't understand French even more. "
He turned his head and saw that his sister had already fallen asleep. Well, she was too good at sleeping. He started to sleep as soon as he boarded the plane. He looked to the side in boredom. The other first-class seats were also full, and there were people all around. He continued to watch videos out of boredom. There were limited videos here, and some he didn't like, so he leaned to the side and fell asleep. It was a flight of more than ten hours, and a few hours passed as soon as he slept. However, when he slept enough, he also woke up. The plane provided food and drinks, and the taste wasn't very good. However, when he was hungry, he casually ate some.
Qian Zhian was bored on the day shift. Oh my God, there were still a few hours left. It was too long, and his butt was aching from sitting. "Sis, next time, let's travel to a closer place. It feels too far. It's too much for a plane ride. "
"En, it's rare to come out, and this place is also very beautiful. " She smiled faintly. She came here to discuss business. Although it wasn't a big deal, it was still her own business path. Whether or not it could be successful would be decided after they met. She dared to say that her small design and internal structure were unique. If she sold it to them, they could still apply for a patent. In fact, they still earned money.
It was already afternoon when they arrived at the airport of the French capital. They left the airport. Shui Shui and Qian Zhian hailed a taxi. Shui Shui got in the car and directly said the hotel's name.
"K.... "
The driver smiled foolishly and was still speaking French.
Shui Shui knew the basic French. She also started to chat with the other party. "recently, there are more tourists. which place has the most people? "
"Ah? You speak French? " The driver asked in surprise.
"A little. I had a friend who was French before. He taught me some French, so I can only communicate with you normally. I can't go deeper. " Although she could only communicate normally with that French friend, her accent was very pure.
"But I think your accent is very pure and very good. Recently, there have been a lot of tourists, but most of them came with a group, " he said "But there are more tourists and more business at night. In fact, it's still a bit unsafe at night. It's best for girls not to go out alone. It's not very safe recently. It seems that there are more people active at night. I wish you a pleasant journey. "
"thank you. We'll pay attention. " Shui Shui nodded.
Qian Zhian was dumbfounded. "Sis, you're speaking French? Impressive. "
"There's nothing impressive about it. I know a little basic language, so I can't have a deep conversation. " She knew her level.
"that's still impressive. " Qian Zhian was shocked. His sister seemed to know a lot of things, and she could speak French easily. It felt like it was quite interesting to travel to France. At least they didn't know nothing, and they wouldn't be fooled by others. One had to know that if they didn't speak French, no one would be able to understand English here.
The driver sent them to the hotel. Shui Shui Shui and Qian Zhian walked over. Shui Shui Shui took out her ID card and said something at the front desk.
Qian Zhian didn't understand a single word.
The other party and Shui Shui talked a lot. It took them half an hour to get a room card.
The two rooms were adjacent. They were both single rooms on the 17th floor.
Qian Zhian looked around. "This hotel shouldn't be cheap. SIS, do you want to stay here for six days? "
"Yeah, alright. Let's go unpack first and then eat something. " She was a little hungry. Moreover, she was really tired after flying for such a long time.
She looked at the map on her phone and looked around. This hotel was next to the city center. There should be a lot of delicious food around.
The two of them put down their food and left the hotel together. Qian Zhian pulled Shui Shui and said, "SIS, it's French cuisine, right? I haven't had authentic food before. "
"But it's going to take a long time. " There was a lot of food, but after they finished eating, they usually didn't feel full.
This was a big city after all. If they were hungry at night, they could go to other restaurants. "Sure, let's go look for it. "
Shui Shui wasn't familiar with this place. They searched for the restaurant along the way.
On the way, they could also hear people speaking Chinese. There were really a lot of tourists in their country.
Shui Shui looked at a retro shop, but when she walked in, it was so elegant and had an ancient European style. Shui Shui looked around. "How about this one? "
"Sure, let's go. " Qian Zhian pulled Shui Shui Shui in anxiously.
A waiter came forward. All of them had blonde hair and blue eyes. When they saw that they had Asian skin color, they spoke in English. "May I ask if we can serve you? "
"The two of US would like to try the local authentic French cuisine. I don't know if our shop mainly makes traditional cuisine. " Shui Shui also had to ask clearly because some of the shops looked retro and did not make traditional food.
"Of course, our restaurant is authentic French cuisine. You can try it. " The other party smiled faintly. His service attitude was very good.
"Okay. " Shui Shui was also prepared to stay.
The waiter brought them to a seat and sat down. Next to them was a large dining table for six people.
Qian Zhian looked at the menu and his expression changed. "Sis, I don't understand. "
"En, then can I help you order? ''ShuiiShuii asked back.
"Okay, you can help me order. " Qian Zhian felt very conflicted. Moreover, these pictures did not say which one they corresponded to.
They looked at the menu for a while, and six people sat next to them. They were speaking their national language. Qian Zhian looked over and whispered to Shui Shui, "SIS, they can't understand the menu either. "
Shui Shui pushed Qian Zhian's head away. "If they can't understand it, it has nothing to do with us. Don't look at it. It's not very polite. "
"I know. I just glanced at it a few times. " He casually flipped through the menu.
The next table was very troubled. Looking at the menu, they couldn't understand it. Their English wasn't that good. It was rare for them to come out for a meal, so they braced themselves and ordered the dishes.
They ordered the items on the menu. Some of them seemed to have a lot of words, so it should be correct to order.
After they finished ordering, Shui Shui was still looking at the menu. In the end, Shui Shui called the waiter over. Although she could not understand the names of these dishes, she knew what to eat. She had just read the English introduction at the end. This restaurant had a history of more than twenty years Moreover, many of the sauces were made by her own secret. Some of them were in French, so she could not understand them.
"..."she directly said the names of the dishes that she remembered. There might be some differences, so she put the menu aside ...
When the other party heard Shui Shui Shui say the names of the dishes in French, they were a little surprised, but they still maintained a smile. "smoked salmon, do you want pine nuts? "
"Yes. " Shui Shui continued to order.
APPETIZER, main dish, and dessert. After these three main dishes were ordered, the waiter went to place the order.
"Sis, what did you order? ''QiannZhiann could only ask, but after thinking for a while, he said, "forget it,Ii think it's better to have a little surprise.Youu'll know when you see it later. "
"The dishes are very slow. You have to be mentally prepared. " Shui Shui Drank the water that was poured next to her.
"have a drink? " Qian Zhian wants to drink a drink, "drink, juice also can. "
"I ordered it, but it will be served in a while. Let me think. I ordered two cups. One is a blueberry milkshake and the other is watermelon juice. Which one do you want to drink? " Shui Shui basically ordered all of them.
"Hee Hee, milkshake it. " The sister also knew that he liked blueberries.
Ten minutes later, they had drinks and seafood soup on the table.
... . .
The food at the next table was fast, but there were fewer staples, more appetizers, salads and soups. Finally, two servings of beef steak were served, and the waiter said that they were all served.
On the other hand, Shui Shui ordered a few staple foods: SMOKED SALMON, French snail, and Foie Gras, as well as red wine lamb chops. The two of them were siblings, so they naturally didn't mind sharing the food.
Qian Zhian nodded. "It's delicious, but the quantity is a little small. "
"indeed, the quantity of one serving isn't much, but the taste isn't bad. Moreover, this kind of food pays great attention to appearance. Each serving is like a work of art. " She pointed at the food.
"It's very beautiful. " Qian Zhian finally ate the dessert and touched his stomach. "I feel like it's still edible. "
"okay, it's quite troublesome to come here often like this. Eat It once today, and come again another day if you want to. " Shui Shui felt that it was not bad to come here occasionally. Coming here often at this speed, she personally felt that it was a bit time-consuming.
Qian Zhian no longer had any ideas. One experience was good enough.
After they finished eating, they heard the neighbors complaining about how unreasonable the food here was. When the final bill was settled, it was a few hundred yuan. Shui Shui Shui knew what she had ordered, so she would not say that the price was too expensive.
However, the other table started to argue about the price.
"It's too dark. The six of us didn't eat much. We only ate salad and soup, and it was more than 400 euros. This is too much. " They grumbled a lot, but the other party didn't understand them at all. However, they also spoke a few sentences in English, saying that it was too expensive and was a lie.
The waitress explained, but they didn't understand.
The waitress saw Shui Shui and quickly went forward and asked, "can you understand what they are saying? "
"Yes. "
"Then can you help us translate? " They were also conflicted. This was the first time they had encountered such a difficult customer.
Shui Shui looked at the few people from her country and took the initiative to go forward. "Can you show me the list of your food? "
"Okay, okay. You can also judge. Why is it so expensive? " They gave the list to Shui Shui and also wanted Shui Shui to explain.
Shui Shui looked at the list and ordered a high-value red wine. This red wine was the most expensive, and the other things were just so-so.. "You ordered a bottle of red wine. This red wine is of high value. I looked at the other items and found that the food was very reasonable. "
"We didn't know that this red wine was so expensive at the beginning, and they didn't remind us. " These people began to complain.
Shui Shui recalled the menu "There are prices on the menu. When you order, you should be able to see the prices. "I'll remind you in a friendly manner. If you don't want to pay, you might be sued by them, thinking that you're eating for free. Moreover, these Western countries pay a lot of attention to these things. The food is all clearly marked on the price. You're in the wrong. When the time comes, not only will you have to pay for this meal, but you might also have to pay extra money. "
She felt that there was no need to enter the police station for this matter. It was also a shameful matter.
They looked at each other, and in the end, they still gave the money.
The waiter also said to Shui Shui, "thank you very much. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to communicate. "
"It's okay. We had a very happy meal today. " She didn't stay here any longer and pulled Qian Zhian away. After they left, Shui Shui Shui said, "let's go. " "It's very easy to get into trouble when they make trouble without reason. At this time, under normal circumstances, don't stand up recklessly. Just now, because the situation was a little chaotic, it's not good for us to refuse their request. " Shui Shui felt that this kind of thing.. She generally didn't like to get involved.
Moreover, the food in the shop was clearly priced. Moreover, in this geographical location, if they cheated the customers, the shop would probably not be able to continue operating. And there was no benefit in making trouble here.
"I think so too. Moreover, when I looked at the menu just now, the price was marked on it. If you think it's too expensive, you can choose not to eat it. " Qian Zhian also felt that it was very magical He felt that he couldn't hang up his face after making such a fuss just now. If they lost face, it would still affect their image.
Not long after they walked out, they saw an ice cream truck. Qian Zhian stopped to buy ice cream. The six people they met at the French restaurant also walked out. They saw Shui Shui and the others take the initiative to go forward. "thank you for earlier. "
"You're welcome, " Shui Shui said calmly.
"Did you come here to travel with your parents, or did you go to school here? " They began to gossip.
Qian Zhian came back with ice cream and happened to hear what they said. "We're here to travel. "
These people were only in their 30s, but they were very gossipy.
Shui Shui found an excuse. "It's getting late. We should go too. You guys have fun. "
The other party was asking all sorts of questions and still wanted to play with them tomorrow. Shui Shui quickly changed the topic.
"which hotel are you guys at? " They continued to ask.
Shui Shui said directly, "it's nearby. I forgot what it's called. We'll take our leave first. "
The two of them sped up and left. They didn't want to be bothered by these people. Shui Shui Shui and the others didn't know what their motives were, but she didn't like people who acted like they knew each other, especially in foreign places where they were unfamiliar with people.
Qian Zhian also felt annoyed. "Why are they asking so many questions? Besides, we're not familiar with each other. "
"there are many kinds of people. As long as you get rid of them, it's better not to be entangled with them. " She felt that these people were strange, but she tried her best not to interact with them. Also because she was baffled, she was also wary of these people. She didn't say much about them.


She was a combination of a high iq scholar and a black-bellied prince charming. She was a one-on-one, two-on-one, two-on-one, absolutely refreshing, and she was welcome to jump into the pit.
She was a young and famous physicist from a future world.
He was the eldest son of a modern wealthy family.
When she was in a plane crash and became a modern-day second-generation girl, she was proficient in drinking. She was also ranked last in her studies. At home, her elder sister did not love her, her younger brother hated her, and her parents did not care.
In the circle of Friends of the rich second generation, they also looked down on this idiot.
He was noble and elegant, the idol of all women.
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad student, and her mind was empty every day.
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad girl, playing with boys'emotions
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad girl, and she was good at eating, drinking, and playing.
Then please tell me, who is this woman in front of me, leisurely drinking coffee, and reading the physics report in a foreign language with great interest?

Lu Li and Qiao Liang booked ban appointment appointed to have dinner in Pearl Hotel. When Tang Xi and Qiao Liang arrived, Lu Li was already there. Seeing Tang Xi entering, he stood up with a smile, and signaled Tang Xi to sit down. "I'm sorry I was at work until now." 
Tang Xi sat down with a smile. "Not at all. You have come all the way to City A and we should invite you to dinner to honor you, but now you are treating me to dinner."
Lu Li had a gleam of surprise in his eyes when he heard Tang Xi speak as if she and Qiao Liang were already a couple. He looked up at Qiao Liang who seemed to be happy with it. Lu Li smiled. "It's a pleasure. Can you order the dishes that you want? I don't know what you like to eat, so… you'd better order instead." With that, he handed the menu to Tang Xi. "I prefer Chinese food when I dine out with my friends, because then the atmosphere is more lively. Do you think so too?"
Tang Xi nodded in agreement with him and smiled. "Yes, Chinese food has many flavors and is easier to cater for our different tastes, while Western food tastes somewhat monotonous. I prefer Chinese food too." She handed the menu to Qiao Liang who casually took it and began to quickly tick on the menu. Soon he finished ordering dishes and Lu Li took the menu from him… 
Lu Li looked at Qiao Liang and the corner of his eyes twitched."None of the dishes is what I like?" 
Qiao Liang looked at with a straight face. "Aren't you treating us to this dinner?"
Lu Li took a look at Qiao Liang and frowned. "Spicy crayfish? I remember you don't eat spicy food. You have stomach trouble, so you never eat spicy food, right? You…" Suddenly he noticed Qiao Liang's threatening eyes. He immediately shut up and smiled at Tang Xi. "Oh, I love spicy crayfish. I love spicy food. It's just that he didn't allow me to order spicy food. I haven't eaten spicy food for long."
Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang, and the latter rubbed her hair and said gently. "Don't listen to his nonsense." 
Tang Xi's face darkened. In her memory, every time they dated, Qiao Liang would order spicy dishes such as shrimp in scallion sauce, spicy crayfish or taste shrimp for her, and she always asked Qiao Liang to eat those dishes with her. When she asked him whether he liked them, he would curl his lips and say they were yucky. But when he saw she was angry to hear that, he would say yes, they are very delicious actually… 
For all these years, she had been used to being humored by Qiao Liang, but now Lu Li told her Qiao Liang actually couldn't eat spicy food,because his stomach would ache if he did.
Lu Li noticed the gloomy look of Tang Xi and hurriedly added. "I'm kidding. Don't take my words too seriously, Rourou. This guy… Well, forget it. I think now that you two are together, you should tell each other everything about yourselves. Qiao Liang has stomach problems and can't eat spicy food since his childhood. And he has been drinking a lot these past few years, so his stomach has become even weaker. I think you should tell this to Rourou. I'm sure she doesn't want to see you suffer from stomachache, right?"
"Lu Li!" Qiao Liang stared coldly at Lu Li.
"Qiao Liang!" Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and asked coldly, "Am I an unreasonable woman in your heart? Do you think I will leave you if you are sick?! Am I that kind of woman in your heart?!"
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and was about to speak, when Tang Xi lunges to her feet and coldly said, "I am always a vulnerable woman in your eyes, no matter five years ago or now, right?! I'm that kind of woman who will just walk away from you when you are sick, right?"
"No." Qiao Liang took Tang Xi's hand. "I just don't want you to worry about me, or feel guilty for me… the last thing I want to see is that you suppress yourself. I like to see you enjoy food and I like how it feels when I have dinner with you…" 
"But these will harm your health!" Tang Xi stared at Qiao Liang. "I don't want to see you endure stomach ache for me. I just want you to be healthy!" 
"Okay, I'll tell you everything about myself, everything." Qiao Liang gazed at Tang Xi. "What I can eat and what I can't. I can tell you whatever you want to know. Just sit down."
Tang Xi closed her eyes, then turned to look at Lu Li who was sitting awkwardly aside and watching them quarrel, and smiled. "Thank you, Brother Lu. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known I'm damaging his body. Then I don't know how much I would regret it. Thank you for telling me this." 
Lu Li smiled. "You're welcome. I'll rest assured as long as you treat him well." 
Tang Xi smiled and nodded, and the waiter took the menu away.
Qiao Liang and Lu Li were talking about business, and Tang Xi was playing a mobile game that was very popular recently. Qiao Liang took a look at her cell phone to see her kill an enemy. He smiled and turned to Lu Li. "Once the money is in place, those companies won't have any chance to struggle."
"The money can be in place in three days at the earliest. Although I've come here, the money will be transferred much more slowly because we don't have a branch in China yet. If I directly transfer the money to the account of the Qiao's, it will arouse the FBI's suspicion. If this affects the Qiao's, our loss will outweigh the gain."
Qiao Liang grunted. "No hurry. Those two are still locked in jail. Lu Hongkun will be sentenced next week, and we can take our time to deal with Lu Guangxiong. He has just repaid the one percent of the pain he inflicted on my mother. I'll make him pay us back bit by bit."
Lu Li sighed when he saw Qiao Liang talked about his father resentfully, he then took out a file and handed it to Qiao Liang. "I found out about this today. This company is in big trouble. Are you going to cooperate with them?"
Tang Xi spotted the name of the file and frowned. "What's wrong with the Liu's Group?"
"The vice-president of the Liu's Group has drained the cash flow of the company. Now this company is on the verge of collapse, but very few people know it. Except us, only the Liu's Group's president Liu Chengyu is aware of this, but I don't think he can solve this problem. The cash flow gap is several billion yuan, not in tens of millions… No matter how able he is, he can't fill up this gap easily."
Tang Xi frowned. "Is that vice-president still in China?"
"No, he has run off with the money." Lu Li smiled and raised his eyebrows. "But if Ah Liang cooperates with the Liu's Group and injects funds into the company, it may still be saved."
