After watching two episodes of the documentary, Sheikh ran to the back of the car to eat dessert.
The baking class over there hadn't ended yet, and the two of them could smell the warm, sweet, and soft aroma of steaming and baking from the carriage in front.
Seven or eight tourists were looking around and having fun. Sher, feeling that there were too many people, asked for a piece of rum cheese and berry mousse and asked someone to bring them to his room later.
Walking slowly back from the back of the car, it was already past 9:30.
Walking through the brightly lit, dimly lit, soundproofed bar, Sher stopped in his tracks.
Perhaps because it was raining, there were quite a few people here, roughly forty or fifty.
As a special carriage where smoking is permitted at night, the bar smells strangely, a mixture of nicotine and various alcoholic aromas.
Men and women sat in the booths set up behind the window, cigars between their fingers, whispering among themselves amidst the swirling white smoke.
A jazz singer sat on a high stool singing a song that Shech couldn't understand. After listening to a couple of lines, she said to Shi Jinzhe, "Let's stay here for a while."
Shi Jin folded up behind her and asked, "Don't you find the smell pungent?"
"I can come closer to you; you smell good."
"Then let's find a place to sit."
Sheh found a seat a little further away, and Shi Jinzhe sat down to her right, casually picking up a velvet cushion from the sofa and placing it behind Sheh.
The waiter approached with a tablet: "Excuse me, what would you two like to do?"
Shekh didn't look at the tablet and asked directly, "Any recommendations?"
She wouldn't understand the difference between the items if I showed her the menu. She'd never eaten them before, so she couldn't compare them and wouldn't be able to choose. It's better to just ask her.
Shi Jin gestured across the menu: "Recommend something with a lower alcohol content for her."
"If you can't drink much, you can try our special sweet wine, which is very suitable for girls. It has a low alcohol content and won't make you feel pungent."
"This one then," Shekh said, then asked Shi Jinzhe, "Could you order two drinks with a higher alcohol content so I can try them?"
She had only drunk alcohol once, on Azure Island, and the taste was really not good.
But the pictures on the tablet looked so good, it must taste good, and she wanted to try it again.
Shi Jin swallowed the bottled water he hadn't said aloud, ordered a Negroni, and then a Death in the Afternoon.
Let Shehe try them all, so she remembers the taste and won't drink them randomly out of curiosity in the future.
"Is there anything else you need?"
"Not for now. Please have the dessert delivery person bring it here directly, instead of sending it to carriage number three."
"Please wait a moment." The waiter turned to leave, but was stopped by a couple at the next table.
"Don't they need to pay extra? Why do we have to pay extra for our drinks? Are you discriminating against us?"
"I'm sorry, all expenses incurred by passengers staying in carriages three and four are included in the room rate. These two will not need to pay any additional fees."
"What do you mean? I spent 120,000 yuan on a train ticket and can't even afford two glasses of your trashy wine?"
Shekh picked up the candy on the table. 120,000. That's much more expensive than a high-speed rail ticket. Good service and uniqueness are so valuable.
She and Shi Jinzhe had no intention of getting involved in the pointless price debate, so they sat on the sofa and talked about their own things.
Shi Jinzhe took out fresh roses from the vase. The thorns on the stems had been treated beforehand, so they wouldn't prick anyone when woven together.
The couple next to them were still questioning them, and their gradually rising tone attracted the attention of some people.
Sheh crunched on the fructose, "Let's find another seat, it's too noisy."
The 120,000 yuan didn't even mention getting a private compartment; it was just because the price doubled on a beautifully decorated train.
This money is so easy to make.
Back then, even those who had spent their life-saving points had to be exchanged for money.
She took the rose wreath he had made, spun around and looked at it. The bright red roses were romantic, but not quite right for her.
The waiter stepped aside to make way for the two, and Shekh heard him tell the couple that the different levels of private rooms included different services, which was clearly explained before they bought their tickets.
She tugged at her folded clothes: "It's different, isn't ours 120,000?"
"Seventy thousand."
"Hmm?" Shehe can do this math: twelve minus seven. She and Shi Jinzhe are cheaper than the other side.
"Single, one night."
So this trip cost...?
Seven times four times two
Five hundred and sixty thousand?
Sheh's heart suddenly ached. She hadn't thought it was a lot of money when she wanted the high-speed rail and the castle, so why did 560,000 seem like such a huge sum now?
If you convert this money into points, it's a little over five points.
What if we convert that to a castle worth billions?
Schechner's snake work algorithm failed.
"This car is so expensive, is this a robbery?"
"Pfft." The couple at the next table burst out laughing upon hearing this.
The laughter was like the first time Shekh took the high-speed train. She hadn't put her ID in the correct place on the ticket machine, and a girl behind her was looking around and making a disdainful, sneer.
The short burst of laughter revealed a sense of superiority, as if to say, "How could someone not even know how to sit properly?"
Now, the couple's expressions and laughter are exactly the same as that girl's.
Does she think it's funny that Shi Jinzhe's previous money was hard-earned?
Shekh stopped, turned around, and asked, "Is it that funny?"
Being caught red-handed is an embarrassing thing. Sitting on the sofa, the wife touched her hair and said, "I wasn't laughing at you, why are you asking me?"
The husband, however, seemed more confident. "If you're not guilty, don't take it personally. What's wrong with that? Can't you even laugh at someone?"
Shi Jinzhe, standing next to her, snatched the wine from the tray of the approaching waiter and handed it to Sher.
Schech held his glass steady and casually splashed the wine in the couple's face. "You can laugh, and I can splash you too."
The fact that she has money and feels it's too expensive are not contradictory; she simply feels it's not worth it after considering the equivalent exchange.
Shi Jinzhe remained calm and said, "Bring ten more cups."
"Huh...?" The waiter, holding an empty tray, didn't react in time. Was he going to spill it again?
The husband on the sofa jumped up, grabbing his wet clothes, and yelled, "Don't you have any manners?"
"No." Shech threw the empty wine glass in his hand directly at his face.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he splashed another glass of wine, which was being handed to him from behind, onto his wife's face, who was recording the screen with her phone.
As he snatched the phone, Schechka tightened his knuckles around its edge, causing the once-rigid phone to deform and break apart like a twisted soda can.
Shi Jinzhe continued to hand out drinks, saying, "Rich people have the right to say it's expensive, and ordinary people also have the right to learn about the world. If money can make you laugh at my girlfriend, then I can let her splash me to her heart's content today."
Shekh kept pouring drinks on the couple, leaving them both stunned.
"It's just... a smile, is it really that big of a deal?"
"She's just covering the difference between 560,000 and 120,000 for drinks, don't worry about it too much." Shi Jinzhe leaned back on the edge of the higher sofa and sent a message to Meng Chengxi.
How have things been considered?
At 10 p.m., Meng Chengxi was still awake, which was the time when he could see.
Nighttime tends to make people's thoughts run deeper, and seeing this now will keep him awake all night, thus speeding up the process.
If we find a scapegoat and let Cheng Yun die sooner, then we won't have any more mishaps that upset Shekh.
Ideally, you should take him down before entering the instance and obtain the Cheng family.
