Chapter 200: Windfall(1/2)

This is a meal, but it also raises the issue of national integrity.

The meal, including eating and feeding, took nearly two hours. Celis's appetite suddenly increased, and she finished several dishes.

After I paid the bill, I said to Celis: "That's it for lunch! I'll take you to a real dinner in the evening."

She blinked her sapphire eyes, "Okay! I'm looking forward to your feast!"

When I came home from the hotel, the decoration team had prepared materials and was waiting at the door of the building.

I took them on the elevator and came home. They immediately got into work, each with their own division of labor. They filled up the big holes in the wall in an orderly manner, then scraped putty, painted white, and removed the remaining garbage.

It took less than three hours to clean up and put on the same wall covering as the other walls.

Before leaving, the contractor gave me a business card and told me: "Boss, the first floor needs to be ventilated for two days, and the windows should not be closed. Also, formaldehyde should be released. If possible, stay on the first floor as little as possible. Now

The carcinogenic rate of formaldehyde is too high. If you have any questions in the future, please contact me directly. I will come over to help you no matter how busy you are."

After seeing off the workers, I came to the glass room, where Celis was sitting in the rocking chair, watching the setting sun.

I went over and patted her shoulder, "What are you thinking about? Let's go eat?"

When I went out, it was a bit windy, "Why is the autumn in your Shenlong Continent colder than that in the Giant Eagle Continent?"

I took off my blue windbreaker and put it on her, "I'm not complaining about the cold weather. It's almost winter. Why are you still wearing clothes that expose your navel? Is it not cold?"

She wrapped my clothes tightly and said, "You are so gentlemanly."

I took a taxi and took her to the most luxurious Western restaurant in Longdu. I was going to spend a lot of money tonight. But I didn't expect that she would stop going in while standing at the door.

She raised her head and looked at the western restaurant, whose entire side was covered with glass walls, "You're just going to bring me here to eat this? Is this what you call a big meal?"

I nodded, "This is the most upscale Western restaurant in the whole city."

"Western food, I have been eating Western food since I was a child. I have had enough of it in the Giant Eagle Continent. Do you want me to travel thousands of miles to come here and eat these foods that can be seen everywhere in the Giant Eagle Continent?"

What she said makes sense. People eat food every day, and the Western food in her country is definitely more authentic than the one here.

"Okay, I didn't think it through well, it doesn't matter, how about we go eat hot pot? In this weather, eating hot pot is the most enjoyable."

I took Celis to the most famous copper hot pot in Longdu. It is completely burned with charcoal. The mutton is hand-cut by the chef, the vegetables are the freshest that day, and the sesame sauce is freshly squeezed.

"Can you eat chili?"

"I usually don't eat too spicy food at home, so a little bit shouldn't matter."

"Hot pot would be tasteless without chili peppers, so why not make it slightly spicy?"

Celis nodded and agreed.

As soon as the hot pot was served, I regretted it again. If nothing else, Celis couldn't use chopsticks and I had to feed her.

I taught her how to hold chopsticks and how to use more force, but I didn’t know if she didn’t want to learn it or if she just couldn’t learn it. Anyway, the chopsticks always pierced the food while eating. The waiter used a slotted spoon to take the cooked food out of the copper hot pot.

I came out and put it on the plate in front of Celis. I picked up the food on the plate and put it into her dipping bowl, "Eat it!"

She looks like a praying mantis, holding a chopstick in one hand, piercing the food and bringing it to her mouth.

"You haven't had a few bites like this, and the food will be cold. The most important thing about hot pot is the heat. You have to practice holding chopsticks."

"Forget it for today, you better feed me! Okay?"

"Okay, I'm afraid of you."

I picked up the food and lightly wrapped it in a small bowl of dipping sauce. Then I held the food and protected it with my other hand underneath to prevent the dipping sauce from dripping onto her clothes. Just like feeding a child, I took one bite at a time.

.

"It's so spicy! Is there any ice water?"

I looked at the waiter and said, "Let's have a can of iced Coke!"

When the Coke came, she raised her head and drank it in one gulp, and gave a huge, comfortable burp.

"Waiter, do you have a big bucket of iced Coke?"

The waiter went to get it immediately.

At this time, my cell phone rang, and it was Zhang Qingyu calling.

"Brother, have you eaten?"

I glanced at Celis, "I'm eating, are you off work?"

Zhang Qingyu said in a coquettish tone: "Well! I'll go find you, okay?"

I thought about it and said, "You have to go to work tomorrow. I'll have something to do later. Eat something by yourself and go home early to rest!"

"Isn't it convenient for you?"

"My place is quite far away from where you live and your company. When you come, it's time for me to leave."

"Okay! Then eat slowly."

I hung up the phone and Celis looked at me, "Is she your fiancée?"

"No, it's my sister."

"Oh! I didn't know that you actually have a sister."

"She is not my biological sister, she is my god sister!"

Celis bit her chopsticks and shook her head, "I don't understand."

I didn’t want to continue this topic, so I asked her, “After dinner, where else do you want to go?”

She still bit her chopsticks and looked up, "I want to see the night view of Longdu and visit the night market of Longdu."

"Okay, I've been here for so long that I don't even bother to look at the night here, so let's leave after dinner."

Celis put down her chopsticks, "Then let's go! I'm full."

I took out the contents of the pot and put them directly into my bowl. "There are so many things that haven't been cooked yet. Our country is proud of being thrifty. Just wait for me and we'll finish it soon."

She sat on the chair, holding her chin in her hands, watching me eating.

"Why do you look at me like that? You think I'm embarrassed."

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, "It's nothing, I just think the way you eat looks so manly."

I smiled and said, "Don't fool me. I know your original intention is to say that I don't have a gentlemanly manner when it comes to eating, right?"

"No, I really feel that the way you eat makes others feel very appetizing. Even if the food is average, you can still eat it very deliciously and feel that you are enjoying it."

I wiped my mouth with a napkin, "You are the first person to say this. No wonder people like to watch mukbang online now. It turns out that watching other people eat is also a kind of enjoyment."

After paying the bill, we gave up taking a taxi and planned to walk wherever we went.

When passing by a women's clothing store, I offered to buy her some clothes to keep out the cold. She looked at the clothes in the window and agreed.

After entering, she insisted on choosing a white shirt, blue jeans, and a sapphire blue women's windbreaker. When she got dressed, she looked particularly dashing. The clothes were not expensive, and Celis was born with them.

The clothes rack, all the clothes of the same number, seemed to be tailor-made for her, they fit well and are elegant.

She took a picture in front of the full-length mirror, and I stood nearby and saw that it was similar to what I was wearing. I was also wearing a royal blue windbreaker with a white shirt underneath, but my pants were dark blue suit pants.

Liz was wearing a pair of high boots. When she stood there, she was as tall as me.

As we walked along the street, the rate of turning heads was quite high.

When passing by the square, we saw a group of people standing around a bald man. In order to watch the excitement, Celis and I also stood over.

The bald man inserted the microphone into the speaker, then set up a stand about half a person's height, sat on the stage by the fountain, held an acoustic guitar with peeling paint, played it, tuned it, and then started singing

The people around him stood there and listened quietly. After the song, everyone applauded, then took out their change and put it into the guitar box next to the speaker.

I felt that the bald man's voice was particularly suitable for singing the song written by his late boyfriend in the summer night, so I stood there and listened to four or five songs. Until the people around me slowly dispersed, the bald man began to pack up his speakers.

equipment.

I walked up to him and said, "Hello, can I get to know you?"

Without even raising his head, he put the guitar into the case and put the microphone and speakers into the trolley case.

"I am the boss of Galaxy Entertainment. I have a song that is particularly suitable for you to sing. I wonder if you are interested in joining us?"

"No." After saying that, he picked up the guitar, pulled up the lever, and walked towards the subway station without looking back.

I looked at his back and said to myself: "What a weirdo. He would rather sing in the square than join a regular company that can train him."

"He is actually sick."

A girl walked up to me, looked at the back of the bald head, and murmured.

I looked at the girl and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

The girl's eyes were filled with tears, "Leukemia, the doctor said he can only live for three months."

I looked at Celis, "Is leukemia difficult to treat?"

Celis nodded, "There must be a suitable bone marrow or a matching hematopoietic stem cell transplant, but the surgery fee is relatively expensive in any country."

I looked at the little girl, "Who are you?"

She looked at me with tearful eyes and said, "He is my brother."
