Shi Yan and Sheng Yuan looked up at the same time.

Not far ahead.

There was a valuable black Bentley parked there, which looked totally out of place in the simple neighborhood.

The driver stepped forward and opened the door. The distinguished male student in the car bowed slightly and got out.

The sky is dark.

As the boy walked, his entire face appeared under the street light.

——His facial features are more three-dimensional than those of the average Asian, his nose bridge is straight, and his eye sockets are extra deep, giving people the visual sense of being a mixed-race person.

This is indeed the case.

Because he has a pair of silver-gray eyes that are slightly darker in color.

At this moment, the expression of the owner of the eyes was not warm. His gaze, with a tangible hostility, fell on the hand of Shi Yan, who was holding Sheng Yuan's wrist.

Sheng Yuan was a little surprised to see the boy and frowned: "Why are you here?"

"Little Kite."

A girl wearing a lady's dress and low-heeled crystal sandals got off the car behind the boy.

She is Sheng Feng’s granddaughter and also Sheng Yuan’s cousin—Sheng Yi.

Sheng Yi took two steps forward and said, "Xiao Yuan, Li Zhi flew all the way from France to Beijing to see you, but he found out that you were not at home, so he was worried about you and came here."

* Inside a high-end western restaurant.

The piano music is melodious and the atmosphere is elegant.

Sheng Yuan and Sheng Yi sat on the same side, near the floor-to-ceiling windows and in a location with the best river view. Across from them, Xu Lizhi took the menu from the waiter and asked Sheng Yuan what he wanted.

Sheng Yuan was playing with something in his hand and didn't look up: "I've eaten."

That's right.

At this point, you must have eaten it.

And who you eat with seems to be self-evident.

Thinking of what happened just now, Xu Lizhi's eyes darkened. He still looked at Sheng Yuan and said to himself, "Then eat with me for a little while longer. I haven't eaten since I got off the plane."

After saying that, Xu Lizhi asked the waiter at the table to take his order. He ordered for Sheng Yuan first, from the main course to the side dishes to the dessert after the meal, with a familiar and fluent tone, and then he ordered his own.

Sheng Yi sat upright in her seat, with the elegance of a young lady from an aristocratic family. She pursed her lips and smiled softly, "I haven't eaten Western food for a long time, so it's a bit difficult to choose. Just do the same as Li Zhi, and follow your taste. I think you can't go wrong."

Sheng Yi's eyes stayed on Xu Lizhi as she spoke.

And Xu Lizhi was looking at Sheng Yuan.

Even when Sheng Yi said she wanted to order the same dish as him, he didn't react at all, and his attention was always on Sheng Yuan.

When Xu Lizhi saw what Sheng Yuan was playing with, he thought it was some small trinket at first, but after taking a closer look he realized it was a key.

A key with a very common style, even a bit old-fashioned feel.

The girl twirled the key ring around her finger, seemingly enjoying it.

Xu Lizhi was puzzled. What was so fun about this?

…

The meal was very quiet.

No one spoke.

Except for taking a bite of bacon when the dish was served, Sheng Yuan never put the fork into her mouth again.

Xu Lizhi seemed to want to talk to Sheng Yuan, but Sheng Yuan was a little impatient and looked like she just wanted to leave here quickly.

So Xu Lizhi gave up the idea and finished eating as quickly as possible.

Prepare to leave.

Sheng Yuan wanted to go back to the villa here, and Xu Lizhi offered to take Sheng Yuan back.

Sheng Yuan refused: "No, I brought a driver."

Xu Lizhi was silent for two seconds, then said, "I asked your driver to go back first."

“…”

Sheng Yuan looked at Xu Lizhi unexpectedly: "Who told you to make the decision without authorization?"

This guy is finally online, but what remains unchanged is that he will always be just a tool.
