Chapter 71 They Are All Gods
How similar are their tones? Tell me, how can I compensate you? It seems that they are God and can give anything. If she says I don’t want anything, as long as you are far away from me, will anyone believe it?
Han Shu and Tang Ye had sat next to Cai Jian on the small round table in four people, and the seat left and right of the free one for Ju Nian was only one man on the side. Han Shu didn't remember how long it had been since he had been so close, and he had sat quietly beside her, maybe he had never. His hand could touch her body as long as he stretched his hand slightly... Yes, she had also slept peacefully beside him, curled up like a baby. He held her so carefully, for fear that he would not stick close enough to hear her breathing, and for fear that he would stick too close, and his heartbeat would disturb her. Her black and long hair made his face it itchy, but he dared not move. No matter what it was his dream or her nightmare, he could never go back. However, at this moment, he still didn't dare to move.
Xie Juinian held the menu with both hands, lowering her head without saying a word. Han Shu could see that she put on light makeup today. Although it was not for him, he seemed to suddenly understand Tang Ye's heartbeat as a man. She was like a lonely wild flower, white single-layer petals, soft yellow stamens, fine stems and slender leaves. She bloomed tremblingly in the wild wind, occasionally lowering her body, but never breaking. He stretched out a pair of hands growing in the greenhouse and picked it rashly, not knowing that there were thorns on it, nor did she know that she would wither because of it. What about Tang Ye, what is Tang Ye?
"Asparagus soup, rice shrimp frozen, and foie gras fried fresh shells." Han Shu closed the menu and he was a frequent person. He passed his eyes and ordered the dishes without any effort. Cai Jian's blood pressure was high and he ordered lightly.
Ju Nian was a person who had never set foot on such occasions. She flipped through the menu, her face as big as a palm, and almost buried her beautifully printed menu.
Fortunately, Tang Ye gently pulled the menu out of her hand in time and whispered: "I like the rural vegetable chicken soup, mint salmon salad, and fresh orange T-steak. Otherwise, you can try my taste today?"
Ju Nian was relieved, "Okay, just like you."
The silent time waiting for the meal was the most difficult. Ju Nian's head had almost never been raised, and the tassels of the napkin were messed up by her fiddle. The guests in the Western restaurant were almost full, and the sound of fine conversations and metal tableware colliding in the soothing music could be heard. The waiter wandered between the tables as flexibly as a fish.
Whose breathing was in his ears, holding it quickly but carefully. It was a dry, cold and grand night, but Ju Nian suddenly remembered a wet and hot afternoon, as messy as her subordinates. She didn't like it and felt depressed and uncomfortable.
At some point, there was a charming middle-aged female singer next to the violinist at the bar. She stood up in a microphone in her hand. When she spoke, she felt a bit like Cai Qin. She listened carefully to the music and saved those people with their own thoughts.
After a classic song "Your Eyes", after the long prelude, the female singer's voice became more and more vicissitudes. She sang: "Youth will never be repeated once it passes, and there will be no trace in the ends of the earth..."
Cai Jian spoke for the first time after Ju Nian appeared. She tried to say to Han Shu in a somewhat dry voice as if nothing had happened: "Look, isn't this the tune you like? I was eager to leave my house that old record..."
Han Shu curled her lips and barely responded to a smile. She was not successful, so she simply continued to remain silent.
Your appearance is still like the past, my lovesickness has been buried in my heart. If you don’t let me tell you a word, you can only look at you more... Look at you more, how many lonely springs have I spent...
This slightly decadent and hoarse voice is most suitable for the place where lovers gather. Ju Nian and Ban sideways, seemingly listening to it very engagingly.
Tang Ye bowed his head just right, not getting too close to her, but his whispering posture seemed a little intimate.
"You like it too? I have a friend who also likes Cai Qin's songs very much."
"Is that true?" Ju Nian smiled slightly.
The waiter finally served the meal. The French cuisine procedure was the most troublesome. Ju Nian looked at the tableware in front of her, and her scalp became numb. Fortunately, Tang Ye was slow, so she followed carefully and followed suit. Cutting down her head to eat became the most important and only thing that the four people could do at this moment.
Although Ju Nian is smart and can learn Tang Ye's moves a little decent, but it is difficult to be proficient in a short period of time after all. In order to take care of her taste, Tang Ye was afraid that she would not like raw food, so he changed her calf T-steak to be cooked. The bloodshot was gone, but it was even more difficult to cut. Ju Nian held a knife and fork in his hand, which was originally stiff, but there was a lonely bone wrapped in the middle of the T-steak, which was really difficult to get. He had to bury his head and cut it, so embarrassed that he was sweating on his head.
Tang Ye also saw that although he was a little anxious, he didn't feel anything wrong. In his opinion, it was not a sin to not use Western tableware. So he didn't say anything, for fear of making Ju Nian even more embarrassed, and just added some red wine to her.
Cai Jian looked at Ju Nian quietly. Tang Ye was really good to her. She ate her own vegetable salad with eyes and nose. If the person coming was hostile, then what should come would come sooner or later.
The most uncomfortable thing was Han Shu. He was already impatient and forced himself to suppress himself, but the food from Ju Nian was not good at cutting the metal tableware from time to time. The sound was faint for others, but it could be heard into his ears, creaking and creaking, making people feel confused.
He felt that it was not a steak lying on her plate, it was him, Han Shu, who cut it with a knife and refused to give her any pleasure.
Ju Nian almost gave up fighting with the steak. The more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made. In the last moment, the fork slipped on the plate, and her elbows were slid, barely hitting Han Shu's arm on her left hand. This was just a small movement, but even though she didn't look up, she knew that all the four people present stopped the movements in their hands.
Tang Ye immediately picked up the wine glass and said aloud: "I almost forgot that we should have at least one drink, for Christmas Eve and for the four of us to sit here together."
Ju Nian hesitated for a moment and raised her wine glass. She promised Tang Ye that she could not make it difficult for Tang Ye to do it.
Cai Jian was mixed with feelings, but he still smiled at Tang Ye, "Aye, although I am not your biological mother, I still hope you can live a good life." After speaking, she also picked up the cup and waited quietly for Han Shu who held the spoon. She secretly pulled Han Shu's sleeves.
Han Shu immediately put down his tableware, but his hand did not reach the cup, but reached Ju Nian's chest. Ju Nian was shocked and took a deep breath and flashed back, not knowing what he was going to do. Tang Ye quickly put down the cup.
No one expected that Han Shu's hand fell on the tableware in front of Ju Nian, and brought her plate to him without saying a word. In front of the other three astonished faces, he picked up the knife in his hand with expressionless expression and cut the T-bar belonging to Ju Nian piece by piece.
Ju Nian was so scared that she forgot her next reaction. Tang Ye and Cai Jian were also stunned. No one said anything for a while, and no one stopped him. He just let Han Shu cut the disturbing steak neatly into pieces.
When the bone that was crossed between the meat was perfectly picked out of the meat, Han Shu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief for the first time tonight, and then returned the plate as if nothing had happened.
Ju Nian was already shocked and could not put tableware to get food. The waiter who was ignorant was walking to the table at this moment, took out a rose from the rattan basket in his hand, and handed it to Han Shu, "Sir, this is a free gift from our store tonight. Every couple can get a French pink rose for your beloved girlfriend."
It is not a big deal for the waiter. On the way he came, he happened to see Han Shu handing the plate in front of him back to Ju Nian. The meat on the plate was cut into many small pieces. Although it was not in line with the etiquette of Western food, such things were definitely not done by people close to him.
Tang Ye coughed, obviously helpless about the waiter's mistake. The waiter's hand was placed between Ju Nian and Han Shu. Ju Nian reached out to wipe the thin sweat from his forehead, and his words were stuttering, "No...No...I..."
Han Shu lowered his head for a moment, then raised his face and actually reached out to take the rose. His hand was too tight, and the thorns on the stems were not removed and the flower was suddenly pierced into his hand. He hissed, and Ju Nian shook, watching blood beads emerge from under the skin of his fingers.
The waiter apologized at a loss. Tang Ye suddenly stood up and said politely to the people present: "Sorry, I think I want to wash my hands."
He put down his napkin and walked towards the bathroom. Ju Nian's eyes followed the direction he left. Should she follow him? But when he went to the men's bathroom, what did she do?
Well, now there are only three old acquaintances left. Han Shu looked at her wound and said nothing. Cai Jian slowly wiped the corner of his mouth and sat up straight.
"Ji Nian, can we open the skylight and say something bright? I'm sorry for you. Everything is my fault and has nothing to do with them. You are here for me. In my memory, you are a kind girl. What do you want now? You might as well say it straight, there is no need to hurt innocent people."
Cai Jian’s voice was still kind and soft, like a caring elder. Ju Nian had seen it before, but she had confirmed that this kindness was not for her. When others said it out loud, she felt more calm. Ju Nian smiled and said, “I am not a kind girl. Prosecutor Cai is so kind that he forgets things? How could a kind person have been in prison for a few years?”
Ju Nian's words were soft and whispering, not as aggressive, but Cai Jian felt that he had been slapped on his face. Those strategies and the warm veils became meaningless. She was good at doing ideological work, and her principles were said most seamlessly, but in front of Xie Ju Nian, those principles became more and more hypocritical. She sighed, "You have never been a mother, but I hope you understand the heart of a mother. It is not my intention to hurt you. Tell me, what should I do to compensate you?"
It is worthy of being the godmother and godson. Ju Nian thought to herself, how similar their tones are, you tell me, how can I compensate you? It seems that they are God and can give anything. If she says I don’t want anything, as long as you are far away from me, will anyone believe it?
The tassel of the napkin was once again wrapped around Ju Nian's fingertips. She spoke very slowly, so that every word of a person who was not good at speaking was followed closely by thinking.
"Prosecutor Cai said he wanted to compensate me, that was to admit that he owed me what he owed me. What do you owe me? Money, no. Just? How is that possible? I often read newspapers when I was in prison, and I have also read the deeds of the top ten legal workers in the province..."
These words sounded like naked attacks to Cai Jian. Her patience finally reached its limit. She stood up and said hurriedly: "What do you want?"
"What does Cai Jian think I will be like?"
"Stay away from them!"
Ju Nian smiled silently, "It depends on whether they are willing to do so."
"you……"
Tang Ye turned back from the bathroom, and Cai Jian stopped the words. Tang Ye returned to his seat and saw three people with different expressions, as well as a chair tilted to the side behind his stepmother.
"Auntie, what's wrong with this?" he asked.
Cai Jian looked at Ju Nian's indifferent expression and simply opened his words, "Aye, although I hope you have a home as soon as possible, you should be more careful when looking at people. Do you know who she is? What is her foundation? What purpose does she have to approach you? Have you ever thought about it? You are too honest and don't even know if you are sold!"
"Then tell me, what kind of person is she?"
Cai Jian sneered, "You rob with me..."
"Godmother!" Han Shu, who had been silent, interrupted sternly. Even he could not have thought that Godmother would say so. However, Godmother's original intention was to protect him and Tang Ye. How much evil is derived from good in a sense?
Tang Ye wiped his hands with a tissue and then put them down. He looked at the table, "It's really a good dish, but I don't think we can eat it anymore. Since that's the case..." He waved to the waiter.
The waiter rushed over, and Cai Jian supported his hands on the table, holding his body in his heart, feeling heartbroken, "I'm for your own good. What's the point of being worthy of yours? You all do this, what kind of devil have you been hit?"
Since Ju Nian has been sitting there quietly since she heard the word "robbery" that Cai Jian had not finished speaking, she has been sitting there quietly, with a smile on her lips, which is also desolate and ridiculous. She is so familiar with these three words, and may have to follow her for the rest of her life.
Tang Ye quickly took out a few paper money from his wallet and stuffed it into the waiter's hand, "Don't look for it." After speaking, he pulled Ju Nian with one hand, "Auntie, I know you are good to me, but shouldn't do this? Ju Nian and I should take the lead. If you have an appetite, please use it slowly."
Ju Nian didn't expect Tang Ye to react like this. He obediently let him pull him away from the table. He was about to leave. Han Shu, who had always been sitting aside coldly, clamped her arm on the other side.
"Don't leave! Don't go..." If the first sentence is a desperate rude, then the second sentence will be completely begging.
Both of them were holding their hands tightly. Ju Nian absurdly remembered Xianglin Sao who was sawed in half after her death. She didn't even make any effort. See how they could tear her into half?
"I think even if you want to keep her, you owe the word 'please'." Tang Ye said to Han Shu.
Han Shu looked at Tang Ye lightly, and his hands refused to let go. Instead, he slowly opened Tang Ye's hands that were left on Ju Nian one by one, and said sincerely.
