"You said we were not dressed properly, so I want to ask you why we were not dressed properly."
"That's right, our clothes and pants are all dressed properly, why won't they let us in?"
"This is too much. I just saw a foreigner wearing only shorts, and they let him in. They were very respectful. But when they came to us, they refused to let us in just because we were not wearing a suit? This is obviously discrimination."
The group of Chinese people at the entrance of the Chinese restaurant are also professional chess players who came to participate in the Chess God Cup.
They came yesterday.
After signing in today, like Qiu Shui and the others, I planned to have dinner before going back.
There are many Chinese restaurants and Korean restaurants near the competition venue.
So, they chose the nearest Chinese restaurant based on the principle of proximity.
I didn't expect to encounter such a terrible thing.
This group of chess players are basically young people around 20 years old.
They are all young and energetic.
It was shocking to see that the waiter in this Chinese restaurant was also Chinese, but he treated other Chinese people differently.
Very angry.
Qiu Shui and others also walked over directly after signing in at the venue.
So I happened to see them arguing.
I also heard what those professional chess players said.
Two restaurant waiters, a man and a woman, stopped at the door and listened to what the professional chess players said. Not only was there no apology or embarrassment at all.
On the contrary, his attitude is very bad.
They pointed directly at several young chess players with contempt on their faces.
"The Chinese really have no manners. Didn't you see the sign at the door of our restaurant? You must dress neatly before entering the restaurant. Look at your clothes. This is a high-end restaurant, not a wet market. Not just anyone can come in."
"I've already told you that you can't enter if you're not dressed properly. And you're still making a scene here. If you don't leave, we're going to call the police. You're a bunch of uncultured Chinese people."
These two people speak Chinese and have Chinese faces.
However, implicit in his words and deeds, he looked down upon the Chinese people.
The chess players instantly became furious.
"What the hell? You are Chinese, but you are still scolding us Chinese for our low quality?"
"Why are we not dressed neatly? Your restaurant doesn't require us to wear suits and ties, right?"
"As a Chinese, you worship foreigners and look down on people from your own country. This really opened my eyes."
"I thought that after so many years, this kind of foreign worshipping bastard had become extinct. I didn't expect that it still exists in the United States."
"Please don't insult the dog, thank you."
The two waiters got angry instantly after hearing what they said.
He pointed at the group of professional chess players and started cursing.
"Who said we are Chinese? Don't lump us together with you rubbish Chinese. We are now noble Americans."
"That's right. We have changed our nationality to American a long time ago. We are real Americans. If you don't leave, I will call the police immediately. I will say that you are gathering to cause trouble and are going to destroy our restaurant."
As they spoke, the two waiters actually took out their cell phones and pretended to call the police.
After all, those professional chess players were all young people, and they were in a foreign country where they were unfamiliar with the place.
They didn't dare to continue rashly.
In the United States, just call the police. Regardless of whether these professional chess players really gathered to cause trouble or smashed the restaurant.
They would probably all be taken away directly.
The American officials here are not very friendly to ordinary Chinese people.
Especially recently, the relationship between the Chinese and American officials has been very tense.
Therefore, if these chess players are really taken away by the police, the consequences will not be good.
Being locked up for ten or eight days and being fined are no big deal.
Delaying the game is a big deal.
So, no matter how angry they were, they had to hold it in.
Seeing their aggrieved looks, the two waiters looked very proud.
He looked down upon them directly.
Then I saw two foreigners who were dressed casually and untidy coming over.
The two waiters immediately changed their faces.
He bowed respectfully, with a bright smile on his face, and invited the two into the restaurant.
It is a world of difference from the attitude towards the chess players just now.
Liang Zitao couldn't help but swear, "Fuck, I thought they were exaggerating. I didn't expect that the waiters in this restaurant are so pro-Western."
"What do you mean by worshipping foreigners? Didn't they say they are Americans? We in China don't have such disgusting things that only know how to lick the boots of foreigners."
What Bai Yan despises most is people who have forgotten even their own ancestors.
It's as if they can be superior by stepping on their own people.
However, they don't realize that this will only make others look down on them even more.
After all, a person who is unwilling to be recognized by his own country will not be respected by others at all.
Fang Jun also came to the venue today. After all, he follows He Ran wherever he goes.
But he came in a wheelchair.
After all, it was refunded at a discount, so it is impossible to get better so quickly.
The way he speaks is much more unpleasant than Liang Zitao and Bai Yan's.
He just said, "I was wondering where the stench came from. I thought there was someone selling stinky tofu here. I didn't expect that someone was actually pooping here. It's really smelly and disgusting."
He Ran burst out laughing.
Qiu Shui and others were also amused by Fang Jun's words.
Fang Jun has a really vicious tongue.
It was the first time that Qiu Shui felt that Fang Jun's words could be so pleasant to hear.
The voices of the three people were deliberately amplified by them.
Plus, they were standing behind the chess players, so not only the chess players heard it, but the two waiters standing at the door also heard it.
The waitress glared at Qiu Shui and his group fiercely, then threatened in a sharp voice: "Leave immediately and don't block our restaurant from doing business, otherwise we will really call the police."
They deliberately wanted to drive away the Chinese people in front of them.
The reason is very simple, because Chinese people don’t give tips when eating out. Moreover, if meal times take a long time and the food is poorly cooked, various complaints will arise.
And you can't charge them for their services. It’s different for foreigners.
Not only do people give tips, but they are also very generous when collecting service charges.
They, the waiters, are away when the boss is not around. They would privately drive away those Chinese guests who looked ordinary and had no money.
However, if the Chinese live in Chinatown, they would not dare to do that. But the people in front of me, just by looking at their clothes, I can tell they are not from Chinatown.
Qiu Shui stood up and waved the phone in his hand, "You want to call the police? Sure, call the police now. I have recorded what you said just now. I want to see what kind of punishment you will get in the United States for discriminating against foreign friends and slandering them."
Listening to the two of them threatening to call the police again and again, Qiu Shui finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Originally he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
However, these two waiters were really an eyesore.
What you said is too harsh.
Lou Yuchen glanced at them coldly and directly echoed Qiu Shui's words, saying, "In the United States, if there is solid evidence, the offender will be sentenced to a prison term of less than three years at the least and more than five years at the most. In addition, they will have to pay a high fine."
"Oh." Qiu Shui suddenly realized something and said, "I didn't expect that the laws in the United States are similar to those in China."
Suishou Qiushui gently shook the phone in his hand again, looked at the two waiters and said, "I think this video in my phone should be considered as conclusive evidence, right? Besides, we have so many witnesses here."
The two waiters turned pale. Unexpectedly, they actually took a video.
What they did just now violated the restaurant's rules.
And just now they did slander and discriminate against the people in front of them.
If the police were really called in, they would be the only ones in trouble.
Therefore, they must never be allowed to call the police.
"sorry."
The two waiters gritted their teeth, looked at each other, and then bowed and apologized to Qiu Shui and others.
"The ones you feel sorry for are not us, but them." Qiu Shui pointed at the professional chess players.
"I'm sorry." The two waiters were afraid that Qiu Shui would really call the police, so they could only do as he said and bow and apologize to the chess players who had just been humiliated by them.
"snort."
The chess players snorted coldly and didn't want to pay any attention to the two waiters. It seems like they are dirty if you look at them for one more time.
In the restaurant, the foreigners sitting by the window saw this scene and ate as if they were watching a play.
The chess players didn't expect that Qiu Shui and others could make the two waiters apologize with just a few words.
I was very grateful to Qiu Shui and others.
"Lou Shen, Mr. Qiu, thank you."
"Lou Shen, you haven't eaten yet, right? How about we treat you to a meal?"
"Yeah, thank you for helping us."
They never expected that Lou Shen, Qiu Shui and others would stand up for them.
The chess god Lou Yuchen is the idol of many professional chess players.
This year, Qiu Shui, a rising star, became famous overnight by winning the Hualong Cup.
What is even more talked about is the relationship between the two of them.
It was rumored in the circle that Qiu Shui spent a huge amount of money for Lou Yuchen and bought the 88th floor of the Magic City Brilliant Building to be used as the office of the Shengqi Club.
At the same time, they spent more than one billion to buy a villa in Shanghai to use as a dormitory for the club members.
Members of the Holy Chess Club receive the highest salary and enjoy the best treatment in the circle.
This made the people in other chess teams very envious.
Many people want to join the Holy Chess Club.
Too bad, they’re not hiring anymore.
Today, the Shengqi Club has become a Go team famous for its “wealth and strength” in the circle.
"Eat? Sure, let's eat here." Qiu Shui pointed to the restaurant behind the two waiters, then narrowed his eyes, looked at the two waiters and said, "Now, can we go in?"
"Yes, yes, please..."
The two waiters dared not to make trouble and quickly made a "please" gesture respectfully.
The chess players all looked at each other.
In fact, they didn't want to enter this restaurant again. After all, the attitude of the two waiters just now was so disgusting.
But since Qiu Shui had spoken, they had no choice but to go along.
However, Qiu Shui only took two steps and suddenly stopped.
Covering his nose and mouth with his hands, he said to Lou Yuchen beside him: "No, I think these two people are just like Fang Jun said, too smelly. I can't stand it. Lou Yuchen, let's go to a cleaner one."
Lou Yuchen, who was already familiar with Qiu Shui's routine, smiled faintly and pointed to the Chinese restaurant across the street, "How about that one?"
There were also two waiters at the door of the restaurant, but their attitudes were very good.
Whether they were Chinese or foreigners, they were all warmly received.
However, the business of that restaurant seems to be a little slow.
It's not as lively as this one.
But it doesn’t matter. Judging from the decoration style of that restaurant, it is more in line with their Chinese aesthetic.
"Okay, let's go with that one. That one looks much cleaner, and at least there won't be any clerks as smelly as this one."
Qiu Shui turned around decisively and said to everyone, "Let's go eat across the street. It's cleaner there."
After hearing what Qiu Shui said, the others reacted one after another.
With a smile in his eyes, he covered his mouth and nose like Qiu Shui did, and kept looking at the two waiters, pretending that he really smelled a very bad odor, while walking directly towards the restaurant opposite.
Some foreigners who were originally preparing to enter the restaurant did not understand what Qiu Shui and others were saying.
But when he saw Qiu Shui and others, he looked at the two shop assistants with a strange look.
Then, he covered his nose and turned away from the restaurant.
His brows immediately frowned.
I clearly didn't smell anything.
However, after seeing the appearance of Qiu Shui and others, they vaguely seemed to really smell a stench and hurried away.
After seeing this scene, some passers-by also formed a conditioned reflex and covered their noses and mouths.
It was as if he could also smell the stench emanating from the two shop assistants.
The expressions of the two waiters at this moment were as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.
However, what they didn't expect was the people who were originally sitting in the restaurant eating. Through the glass window, I saw the people outside covering their noses and mouths, and staying away from the two shop assistants.
A chain reaction immediately occurred.
It was as if there was really some strange smell on the two shop assistants. And it kept floating in through the door.
One by one, they began to feel something was wrong.
Those who ordered the meal couldn't eat it anymore.
Those who didn’t order any food can just leave.
In a short while, all the people in the restaurant ran away.
At the same time, the restaurant has also received several complaints.
In particular, the two waiters at the door were complained by several guests for being unclean.
Therefore, they were unable to continue eating.
The two local American guests even pointed at the male and female waiters and started cursing them.
The two waiters looked innocent and wanted to explain to the two Americans.
However, the two Americans didn't listen to their explanation at all.
Instead, he cursed louder and louder. In the end, if other waiters in the restaurant hadn't stopped them, the two waiters, one male and one female, would probably have been beaten.
Qiu Shui and others who were sitting in the restaurant opposite, smiled with gloating after seeing this scene.
"Qiu Shui, this trick of yours is really powerful. You kill someone with a borrowed knife without getting a drop of blood involved. That's great." Liang Zitao gave Qiu Shui a thumbs up.
Bai Yan disagreed and said, "What do you mean by borrowing a knife to kill someone? Brother Qiu is just getting rid of harm for the people. Didn't those two guys claim to be Americans? Let's see if the American police will help them after they are beaten by Americans."
It's really so satisfying.
Bai Yan no longer feels the awkwardness towards Qiu Shui that she did before.
Previously, because of his misunderstanding of Qiu Shui, he witnessed his idol Lou Yuchen lose to Qiu Shui with his own eyes. So when facing Qiu Shui, I always feel uncomfortable.
Later, as we spent more time together, I naturally got used to it.
All the bad things that happened in the past are in the past.
Now, like everyone else in the Go club, I call Qiu Shui Qiu Ge.
"They will definitely be complained about for doing this. They will definitely lose their jobs. Besides, the incident has become so serious that I guess no one around here will hire them in the future."
He Ran had lived in the United States for some time before, and had actually met many Chinese Americans who worshipped foreign things.
But like these two today, there is no disguise at all. I have never seen anyone who would kill himself.
"Are they bad guys?" He Tiantian tilted his little head and asked in a baby voice.
"Yes, they are bad people. So, you must never become that kind of person in the future, understand?" Fang Jun on the side did not forget to start educating the child.
"Haha, you act like you're so great. You even have the nerve to lecture us every day." Liang Zitao said contemptuously.
Before Fang Jun, the hair covering his forehead had been cut short.
A smooth forehead was revealed.
The whole temperament of a person has also changed after marriage. It no longer gives people the extremely gloomy and creepy feeling like a poisonous snake as before.
Now he would smile instead.
When she smiles, there is a hint of tenderness.
Of course, that was only when he was talking to He Ran and He Tiantian.
But when it comes to Qiu Shui and others, they are not treated so well.
So, as soon as Liang Zitao finished speaking, he received a sinister and cold look from Fang Jun.
But now that He Ran is here, Liang Zitao is not afraid of Fang Jun.
The other chess players didn't know Fang Jun. When they saw Fang Jun sitting next to He Ran, they picked up food for He Ran and poured water for him.
A chess player sitting next to Liang Zitao couldn't help but whisper to Liang Zitao, "Brother Tao, is the man sitting next to He Ran, a third-dan, a chess player from your club?"
"No." Liang Zitao glanced at Fang Jun, who was diligently picking up food for He Ran and didn't even care about his own son, and curled his lips and said, "That's He Ran's marriage partner."
The chess player was surprised and asked, "Ah? He Ran, 3rd dan, is married? What about Lou Shen and the others? Aren't they married too?"
After hearing this, the other chess players secretly pricked up their ears.
He looked like he was really eager to hear gossip.
Liang Zitao said with a smile: "How is that possible? With Ah Chen's status, if they got married, it would have been a hot topic on the news this morning."
"That's true."
After hearing this, the others all looked disappointed.
Liang Zitao looked at their disappointed expressions and looked across at Lou Yuchen who was also picking up food for Qiu Shui.
I couldn't help but touch my chin. That guy should be taking action soon.
Although those chess players offered to treat them to a meal, in the end Qiu Shui and the others did not let them pay the bill.
After all, some of those chess players were only eighteen or nineteen years old.
In the eyes of Qiu Shui and others, they are all still children.
How could they really pay for it?
The person who finally paid the bill was Fang Jun.
After this guy had his legs broken by the old man of the Fang family, he now has to use a wheelchair wherever he goes.
However, it did win a lot of sympathy from He Ran.
Qiu Shui seriously suspected that Fang Jun had deliberately broken Old Man Fang's leg in order to win He Ran's sympathy.
This meal was a combination of afternoon tea and dinner.
When we came out after dinner, the restaurant opposite was closed.
The two waiters were just slapped twice by the excited customers.
Afterwards, he seemed to be taken away.
I believe that the ending will not be very good.
At the very least, the restaurant owner will not let them off easily.
After the meal, the chess players said goodbye and left.
Liang Zitao and others also said they wanted to go back to the hotel to rest. By the way, I'll go back and play some music. Good preparation for the competition in a few days.
He Tiantian kept yawning after finishing his meal.
Obviously he was sleepy too.
After all, the time difference has not yet been reversed.
Fang Jun's wheelchair was quite wide, so he put He Tiantian on it directly, and He Ran pushed them forward.
After everyone left, only Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen were left.
Oh, and there are bodyguards hiding in the shadows.
"Shall we take a walk around here?" Qiu Shui suggested.
"good."
The two of them just strolled through the streets of a foreign land.
The buildings and streets are completely different from those in China, and Qiu Shui finds everything new.
The weather in the United States is colder than in China.
Qiu Shui's hands were only released for a moment before he felt frozen stiff.
Just as he was about to put his hand in his pocket, suddenly, a warm big hand reached out from the side and wrapped around his frozen and slightly red hand.
Qiu Shui suddenly looked at Lou Yuchen beside him.
Lou Yuchen took Qiu Shui's hand, put it to his mouth, and blew out a breath.
Then he asked Qiu Shui, "Is it still cold?"
Qiu Shui shook his head, "It's not cold anymore."
The warmth in his hands instantly passed through his arms and warmed his heart.
Suddenly, an old man with a big black bag came from not far away.
Just something that older people put their hands down.
Then he carefully took out a violin from the big black bag.
Then, they started pulling it up right in the street.
The beautiful piano music was so melodious that pedestrians on the street stopped one after another.
They looked with curiosity or appreciation at the old man who was playing the violin gracefully with his eyes closed.
The piano sounds melodious, as if telling a mysterious and sweet love story, making people feel happy when listening to it.
Suddenly, snow started falling from the sky.
Falling snow. Dancing on the streets accompanied by beautiful piano music.
Qiu Shui couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his left middle finger.
It seemed as if something was stuck in his fingers.
Qiu Shui looked down and saw that there was a ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
A silver and black ring.
The ring is simple in style but not plain.
The ring is divided into three parts.
The sides are silvery white, and the middle part is black.
On the black interface, several artistic characters "Chen" are clearly engraved.
When Qiu Shui saw the ring, he suddenly looked up at Lou Yuchen.
Lou Yuchen raised his left hand, and on his left middle finger, he was wearing a ring of the same style as Qiu Shui's.
Engraved on his ring was the word "Autumn".
This is the ring they customized before.
Because the ring was designed by Lou Yuchen himself.
Therefore, customization takes longer.
There have been so many things going on lately that Qiu Shui had forgotten about the ring.
"When was it made? How come I didn't know about it?" Qiu Shui looked at the ring in his hand and said with surprise.
"I made it before I came to the United States. Do you like it?"
Originally, Lou Yuchen wanted to find a suitable time and place to give it to Qiu Shui.
However, at this moment, Lou Yuchen suddenly put the ring on Qiu Shui's hand without thinking.
It was as if he wanted to trap Qiu Shui and his heart.
"Does this count as a proposal?" Qiu Shui tilted her head and looked at Lou Yuchen, whose eyes showed a rare hint of uneasiness, and asked instead of answering.
Lou Yuchen was stunned. His deep pupils clearly reflected Qiu Shui's face, which looked exceptionally fair against the backdrop of the red coat.
The worry in his eyes suddenly increased.
His throat moved, and he said in a low, slightly hoarse voice: "We haven't been together for a long time, and maybe we don't know each other well enough, but I want to spend the rest of my life getting to know you. Are you... willing?"
Lou Yuchen was not confident at this time.
His self-confidence seemed to be hidden in the deep sea. In front of Qiu Shui, I didn't have the courage to pick it up.
Qiu Shui, who was suddenly proposed to, was a little caught off guard.
But, he didn't seem that surprised.
Mingming and Lou Yuchen had only known each other for a few short months.
But Qiu Shui felt as if they had known each other for a long time.
Maybe it’s because Lou Yuchen has been with him recently. Wherever he goes, we go together.
"Damn, isn't this proposal a little too simple?"
The system grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"No flowers, no candlelight dinner, no surprises either. This is too shabby. How can a marriage proposal from this system be so simple?"
"No, host, this system does not agree to this marriage proposal."
Listening to the system's complaining voices, Qiu Shui chuckled in his heart.
There was no expression on his face. Lou Yuchen couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Qiu Shui said to Lou Yuchen, "Isn't your proposal too simple? No flowers, no candlelight dinner, no surprises. It's not romantic at all."
Lou Yuchen's eyes darkened, "Sorry."
Is it really not possible?
This proposal was indeed too hasty.
Even Lou Yuchen himself felt it was too simple. How could Qiu Shui like it?
"Give me your ring." Qiu Shui stretched out her hand towards Lou Yuchen.
Lou Yuchen took off the ring and placed it in Qiu Shui's palm.
Qiu Shui tightened his grip.
"Although there are no flowers, no candlelight dinner, and no surprise romance. But..."
Qiu Shui took Lou Yuchen's left hand and put the ring on his middle finger.
Then he raised his head and smiled at Lou Yuchen: "Having you is enough."
At that moment, Lou Yuchen felt like fireworks were blooming in his mind.
The melodious violin sounds like a celebratory movement.
The white snow falling from the sky is like colorful fireworks.
The passers-by around seemed to become the background, setting off the person in front of him, so dazzling.
