He and Su Tao made an appointment at noon, which was lunch time.
For this purpose, he also made an advance reservation at Xindu's most famous garden restaurant.
In the desolate end of the world, it is not easy to see a touch of green. It is said that as soon as you enter this restaurant, you will feel like you are in a sea of flowers, full of the breath of nature. Many dignitaries from all over the world have come here after hearing about it.
Lei Xing felt that since it was a memorable day, he must choose the best place.
No, he needs to get some more sleep and get ready for the appointment.
Chu Yue's banging on the door made quite a noise. Fire Snake immediately put on a vest and rushed out. Seeing that it was Chu Yue, he jumped up and said:
"Miss, please stop smashing it! Captain Lei has something important to do today, so let him rest well! Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, it will be your fault!"
Chu Yue raised her chin and asked, "What could possibly happen to him? Isn't it enough to just send Minister Xu to Changjing?"
Out of brotherly love, Fire Snake pulled her out and said with a stiff upper lip:
"He's busy. Miss, do you have nothing to do today? Do you want me, Old Snake, to accompany you shopping? If you don't like me, I'll let Jianian come too?"
Jianian is the youngest and most handsome boy in the Leopard Team, but his supernatural powers are among the best in the team.
When Chu Yue was causing trouble for them before, she had already taken a liking to Jianian and even wanted to steal Jianian away.
Huoshe felt that he had already sold out his brothers' bodies for the sake of his boss's lifelong happiness, so the boss must make his wish come true.
Chu Yue had already been completely focused on Lei Xing, not caring about the good times or not. She waved away the fire snake:
"What is he busy with that he wants to hide from me? And you are covering it up for him——"
The other doors of the room were opened, and the brothers of Leopard Road rushed in.
In the end, Chu Yue was coaxed away by their chatter.
When she came to her senses and went to look for Lei Xing again, there was no one in the room!
Su Tao arrived at the meeting place ten minutes early. She glanced at Shi Zijin next to her and said carefully:
"I'll go up by myself."
Some things are not easy to say in front of Shi Zijin. She wants to be decisive today, otherwise the ambiguity will not be good for both her and Lei Xing.
Shi Zijin hadn't intended to go up at first, so he nodded gently as usual: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Su Tao didn't see any strange expression on his face.
She couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried?"
Shi Zijin saw that she finally couldn't hold it back any longer and smiled with eyes curved:
"What are you worried about? Are you worried that you've been kidnapped?"
Su Tao said, "Maybe. Lei Xing is such a good person. He's very powerful and good-looking. When you ignored my advice and insisted on leaving, you asked me to consider him. Now you're pretending to be confident."
Shi Zijin didn't want to admit that this sentence made him a little nervous. Seeing Su Tao's serious expression, the calm smile on his lips slowly fell:
"I'll bring you back again."
"Why do you think that if you kidnap me, I will definitely go with you?"
The brave and skilled Major General Shi took off his armor in front of her, lowered his posture, softened his voice, and revealed his softest sincerity:
"Taotao, I'm serious. If you don't want to come with me, I'm going to chase you until you let me kidnap you."
Su Tao's heart still trembled, but she shook her head instinctively:
"You lied to me. When danger comes, you will abandon me, not to mention chasing me to the ends of the earth."
The last time he resolutely said that military orders must not be disobeyed, Su Tao had a psychological trauma.
She admires heroes and appreciates his strength and sense of responsibility, but if she were his partner, she would probably be restless and worried day and night.
Su Tao was really afraid that if she made up her mind to like him, what if one day he would die again for some greater justice or responsibility?
What if something bad really happened?
Who should she blame?
Should we blame him for his desire to defend his country, or blame the women, children, the elderly and the weak who caused his death?
Shi Zijin's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He wanted to explain something, but when he came to his mouth he could only say:
"That won't happen again."
With her protection, Dongyang has basically eliminated most of the threats. Maybe he won't need to do any extremely dangerous tasks in the future.
Another thing is that he has an "immortal body" and death is just a long sleep for him.
Su Tao pursed her lips and said, "I'm going upstairs. If you feel bored, you can go for a walk around."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The restaurant waiter was wearing an exquisite printed dress and led her to the private room with a sweet voice.
Su Tao still regretted that she shouldn't have brought up this topic.
But she really couldn't help it.
Shi Zijin has become a completely different person since he came back and he's been so attentive. She's not so dull as to not notice this change.
She felt both hopeful and sad.
The waiter opened the door for her and said, "Miss, please come in. This gentleman just arrived."
Just arrived?
Then why didn’t I see him downstairs just now?
There was only a double dining table in the box, which was filled with fresh green vegetables, various exquisite desserts, and exquisitely presented cooked food that Su Tao had never seen before.
There was no light on in the box because there was a whole piece of floor-to-ceiling glass opposite, through which one could see the garden that the restaurant had painstakingly maintained. The afternoon sun shone into the box through the flowers and green plants. It was neither scorching nor too dim, but just the right softness.
Little did he know that this was the private room that Lei Xing had booked two months in advance. It was the highest and most expensive private room in the entire restaurant.
But at this moment, Lei Xing looked at all the carefully prepared things and could only feel indescribable self-mockery.
He heard the conversation between the two people downstairs clearly.
He thought he was on the same page as Shi Zijin.
But Su Tao's words just now clearly showed that Shi Zijin took them to heart.
If you don't like him, why would you care whether he goes to death or not, and why would you include him in your life plan?
He was unwilling to accept it.
He asked himself, compared to Shi Zijin, he spent the most time with Su Tao, and was by her side many times in times of danger, helping her solve problems and bringing her help.
What did Shi Zijin give Su Tao?
He only gave her worry and fear!
Su Tao felt that something was wrong with his mood, and she didn't dare sit down even after the chair was pulled out: "You——"
Lei Xing suddenly looked up, his face tense and his lips pressed into a line. He took a beautiful gift box from the counter next to him and handed it to her:
"It's for you. You'll definitely like it."
There was a bow tied on the box with a small rose bud inserted in it, and a simple heart pattern on the box.
No ordinary friend would give a gift in such ambiguous packaging.
Su Tao didn't take it and shook her head: "Lei Xing, Brother Lei, this gift is not suitable for me to accept."
These words were straightforward enough, and the bubble that had just risen in Lei Xing's heart was ruthlessly burst by her.
He clenched his hands into fists under the table, and his two ears suddenly stood up in his soft golden short hair, twitching uncontrollably.
