My original plan was to go to the pedestrian street a bit earlier and let Xiao Qin enjoy being waited for by me.
In the end, I was still late.
We originally agreed to meet at 7: 30, but when I arrived at the Petersburg restaurant at 7: 05, I found Xiao Qin already waiting for me outside.
She was wearing a white pleated skirt with a cherry-red sash top. She was carrying a small bag with a Mickey Mouse pattern. Under the gradually darkening sky, she had a very pure and cute temperament. She attracted a lot of attention as she stood under the European-style street lights and waited silently.
Since Xiao Qin was the first to arrive at the appointed location, I felt a bit frustrated. However, Xiao Qin's eye-catching attire made my spirits rise again.
"Hey, you're early again." I greeted her.
Xiao Qin raised her head and showed a surprised expression when she saw me dressed like a human.
After a moment of shock, she muttered: "Ye Lin classmate became uglier …"
What!? I finally managed to put on the 'show-off set' that I normally don't wear together, and you're saying I became uglier!? The part of your brain that's responsible for aesthetics must be flooded with water!
"No, no!" Xiao Qin hurriedly corrected, "I'm saying, it's great that Ye Lin classmate is not as good looking as when you were younger …"
"What do you mean!" I put my hands in my pockets and asked her with one eyebrow raised and the other lowered.
Xiao Qin's cheeks flushed slightly, "Even the current Ye Lin classmate would still look very impressive and handsome if he dresses up! If Ye Lin classmate wasn't slightly less good looking than when you were younger … there would definitely be a lot of girls who would be charmed by Ye Lin classmate! Then I would have to face even more intense competition! "
Please, is my appearance 'slightly' less good looking than when I was younger? My face was obviously disfigured by you, okay! When I was younger, aunties would naturally give me candy to eat when I was standing on the streets! Now, when I walk down the street, children will immediately start crying — — they're afraid I'll steal their candy!
"Humph, it's all because of you that my face became like this!"
Actually, if I thought about it carefully, Xiao Qin's punches and kicks on my face did affect my appearance to a certain extent, but it wasn't that much, at most 20%. The main reason why I became like this is because it's hard to get rid of my inner demons. I've been suppressing my resentment as I grew up. In the end, my appearance was born from my heart, and I've finally reached the point where I can act as a perverted murderer without makeup.
However, resentment and whatnot, in the end, it was still caused by the little tyrant's abuse! That's why Xiao Qin still has to take 100% of the responsibility!
Xiao Qin reached out her slender white hands and hugged one of my arms. She leaned against my side like a little bird.
"I'm sorry! Ye Lin classmate's face was indeed ruined by me … but in my eyes, Ye Lin classmate will always be the most handsome person in the world. I can't help but swallow when I see you. "
"Do you think I'm your favorite seafood? What's the use of being the most handsome person in the world in your eyes! "
"Actually, it's not impossible if you want to return to your childhood appearance …"
"Ah? Could it be that your family has some kind of heaven-defying elixir, like the Shaolin Great Recovery Pill, Emei Connection Ointment, or something like that? I can become a good person if I eat it? No, I can become a good person. "
"There's no such thing …" Xiao Qin purposely said with a nasal voice, "If there was a medicine that could make me beautiful, I would have eaten it three years ago."
"Then you said there's a way to restore my appearance?"
"Well, it depends on Ye Lin classmate's memory."
"What does restoring your appearance have to do with your memory?"
"Of course it's related! If Ye Lin classmate can remember how … how I hit you in the past, if you can remember every punch and kick, then I can try to use the same amount of force at the time and hit you again in the opposite direction. That should be able to restore Ye Lin classmate, right? "
"Restore my ass! It's even uglier! Do you think the 'Return My Beautiful Fist' from 'Tang Bo Hu Touches Autumn Fragrance' really exists! Furthermore, how could I possibly remember every single punch and kick that you threw at me! "
"It's best if you can't remember!" Xiao Qin said happily, "I also want Ye Lin classmate to forget those things! No matter what Ye Lin classmate looks like, I will always ~ ~ ~ ~ like Ye Lin classmate the most! "
I originally wanted to take Xiao Qin to walk around the pedestrian street while chatting, and wait for He Ling to arrive before entering the Petersburg restaurant together. But I waited until 8: 05, but I didn't see any signs of He Ling coming.
He Ling was the one who suggested to meet at 8! Was she planning on purposely being late to show that she wasn't in a rush to see me?
Unless the weather was really bad, the central pedestrian street was always filled with people. The Petersburg restaurant was located in a popular area, so you would have to line up if you didn't make a reservation.
As a matter of fact, she called my cell phone and asked if I still needed the spot I booked yesterday. If I didn't go, they would give it to another customer.
I quickly said that we were already on the pedestrian street. I led Xiao Qin to the restaurant's signboard in Chinese, Russian, and English. We passed through the porch decorated with carved pillars and entered the restaurant.
My reservation was on the basement floor. When I made the reservation yesterday afternoon, all the seats upstairs were already booked. However, there are benefits to being underground. At least it's quieter than upstairs, and the air conditioning seems to be more powerful.
There were two large oil paintings hanging on the walls of the dining hall. One depicted the daily life of the Russian royal family, and the composition was very similar to 'The Last Supper'. The other depicted a young man and woman dressed in luxurious clothes, riding a gray wolf through the forest. I wasn't sure what kind of Russian folktale it was, but I felt that the gray wolf wasn't very large, and it was being sat on by a couple. It seemed like animal abuse.
The golden vines on the ceiling were also very exquisite. Under a large chandelier in the shape of a candlestick, there was a long table that could only be seen in European historical dramas. There was also a small round stage on the other side of the long table, but there was no one on it.
In addition to the long table, the standard configuration of the basement floor was a four-person stage. Every four-person stage was divided into semi-open compartments by pillars and fences. Just like He Ling said, it did give off a more private feeling. Also, due to the addition of many exotic decorations, it made the compartments darker. It was very suitable for bold couples who wanted to do something in secret.
The waiter led us to the reserved compartment. Xiao Qin and I sat side by side and left the two seats on the opposite side of the table for He Ling. I told the waiter that one more person was coming and that we could order when everyone was here, then the waiter went to greet the other customers.
I sat on the outer side where it was more convenient for me to go in and out, and Xiao Qin sat on the inner side. On her left was a pentagonal window made of colored glass, but it was just a decoration, so you couldn't see outside (no shit, this is the basement).
After I chatted with Xiao Qin about the restaurant's furnishings, He Ling's call came. She angrily asked me why I didn't wait for her in front of the restaurant.
"That's your problem." I said, "You asked me to meet at 8 o 'clock sharp, it's already — —" I looked at the watch on my left wrist, "— — 8: 15. If I don't hurry, someone else might give up my reserved seat. Anyway, hurry up and find me on the basement floor, table 8."
He Ling snorted and hung up the phone. After a while, she walked down the stairs with small steps.
Western countries believe that freckles make girls more lively and innocent, but women in eastern cultures don't really like freckles. He Ling, who had light-colored freckles near the bridge of her nose, carefully covered her freckles with concealer.
She had two braids and was wearing a short blue top with a white muslin skirt. In Taobao's words, it was a 'forest girl' style. Forest girl is the abbreviation of 'forest girl'. It refers to being unpretentious, innocent, and natural, as if you just walked out of the forest.
Although He Ling had a slim figure, her temperament didn't really match the outfit. If the class leader wore this outfit, she would definitely look like a fairy that walked out of the forest. He Ling was a bit like the little fox under the Forest Fairy. After cultivating for a hundred years, she turned into a human and walked out of the forest to hook up with men.
She, who liked to be noticed by men, purposely walked to the side of the conspicuous circular stage. Then she stopped and looked up to find table 8.
I was only paying attention to the small silver bag in her hand. Auntie Ren's necklace must be inside.
He Ling purposely acted like a domineering older sister as she turned around and walked to cubicle number 8. She found a beautiful girl with long bangs sitting next to me.
He Ling felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head and the shock on her face couldn't be described with words.
"Who … is she?"
"You guys don't know her?" I introduced her with an evil smile, "This is my girlfriend, Auntie Ren's daughter, Ren Xiao Qin. Since I didn't eat tonight, I brought her."
He Ling looked Xiao Qin up and down and flames of jealousy ignited in her eyes, "Why did you bring her here when it's between the two of us?"
I put one arm on the table, "Huh? Between the two of us? Didn't you want me to treat you to a meal and then apologize to you? Since we're not on a date, why can't I bring my girlfriend? I forgot to tell you, you can also bring your boyfriend, it'll be a four person date! "
He Ling sat across from me and Xiao Qin angrily. Her wrinkled eyebrows seemed to indicate: It's hard for her to get a boyfriend at an all-girls school, so she couldn't bring one even if she wanted to.
When I was talking to He Ling, although Xiao Qin's eyes shone with happiness when I introduced her as my girlfriend, she didn't say anything. She kept her head down, which gave people the impression that she was shy and introverted, and didn't like to talk.
"Waiter, bring the menu over!" He Ling yelled with an indescribable anger. Then she noticed there was a call bell on the table, so she banged it a few more times.
The waiter handed the colorful menu to He Ling and stood on the side ready to record it down.
"I'll have a braised beef, a roasted carp with cheese, and a bacon steak!"
He Ling ordered three main dishes. According to the characteristics of Russian western cuisine, she wouldn't be able to finish all the food. She just ordered the most expensive dishes to make me feel distressed when I had to pay the bill.
