That French restaurant in the city center had just recently expanded its storefront and suddenly became famous. When Long Zhu, who was walking in front, entered the restaurant, four or five male waiters in red saluted her. It can be seen that Longzhu is a frequent visitor here. After a while, the manager wearing black clothes and a bow tie came over with a smile on his face.
A faint light fell on the white dining table, and the candlelight illuminated the customers' faces. Most of the customers here are foreigners, and the restaurant is filled with live piano music.
The manager took her to the table to sit down.
"What do you want to eat?" She removed the menu and asked Xiao Long, who was sitting opposite.
Tonight, Long Zhu was wearing a pure white dress and a black belt. This outfit looked valuable, and she looked even more charming.
"Just order the same thing as you." Xiao Long replied to Longzhu.
When Long Zhu ordered the dishes, the manager listened carefully and then immediately ordered the dishes to the waiter next to him.
"I wish you a pleasant meal." After saying that, the manager and the waiter bowed their heads and retreated.
The foreigners sitting near Xiao Long were talking in low voices in unfamiliar languages. There was a man in black sitting in front of the piano in the corner of the restaurant, pressing the keys with an expressionless face. There is a large fireplace on the wall facing the entrance. What is strange is that the firewood inside is burning brightly. In midsummer, burning firewood in the air-conditioned room is quite unique.
"Do you come here often?" Xiao Long asked.
"Well, customers invite me over sometimes." Long Zhu is a first-class designer, and the status and level of the customers can be imagined.
This was the first time the two of them met after she agreed to propose. Although Xiao Long had special expectations, she did not show any strange emotions. She liked to be playful when wearing a suit, and she still looked very proud in a skirt. Most of the foreign female customers around her were dressed in colorful clothes. Therefore, she was particularly eye-catching in plain white, and others would cast their eyes on her from time to time.
Xiao Long expected Long Zhu to talk about agreeing to get married. However, even though the wine and food were served, she still didn't mention a word. Although she sometimes showed affectionate gestures, she was still polite and courteous. Like a normal dinner party. She never mentioned the topic that Xiao Long was looking forward to, and just chatted with him in general.
Xiao Long had no patience to wait any longer. He thought that Longzhu was a woman after all and might be too shy to bring it up, so he tried to find opportunities in the conversation.
"Miss Longzhu," he began to change the subject, "Thank you so much for what happened before." Xiao Long's serious expression showed gratitude. However, Longzhu, who was holding a knife and fork, was surprised when he heard Xiao Long's words. He raised his head.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Long felt very disappointed. She clearly knew what she meant, but she pretended to be confused. There was no trace of shyness in her expression, but she looked very cold.
"Anyway..." Xiao Long tried to fool around, but he felt very depressed. He felt that he could see Long Zhu's heart clearly again. Her expression seemed to be scolding him: "You haven't shown me the property list yet? The marriage hasn't been decided yet!"
Xiao Long moved his gaze to the fireplace, where birch wood was burning.
"This feels so romantic," Xiao Long turned to admire the fireplace, "it reminds me of the winter in Northern Europe."
"Really?" Long Zhu took over the topic this time, "What was the scene like?"
“In the severe winter season in Northern Europe, young girls in every household are naked and warming themselves in front of the fireplace.”
"oh?"
"Isn't that a little inappropriate?"
"No, it's okay. It's very interesting."
Just as Xiao Long was about to continue speaking, someone at the next table called Long Zhu.
"Excuse me." She said and stood up quietly.
There were five foreigners eating at the next table, two of whom were Americans with blond hair. Long Zhu was chatting with one of the women. It seemed that the American woman was her regular customer. They chatted in fluent English.
Xiao Long waited alone, looking at the bored expression of the piano player, and thought that maybe his expression was the same as his now.
The Nordic story was not finished yet. He heard it from a friend: a Chinese man in Sweden stayed with a prostitute in a room with a fireplace. The prostitute stripped naked and even persuaded the man to take off his clothes. The Chinese man felt very ashamed. After being forced to strip naked, his yellow skin and thin body made him very embarrassed.
Xiao Long originally wanted to add his own polish to this story and tell it to Long Zhu vividly, but it was a pity that he was interrupted midway.
Xiao Long suddenly imagined her body wrapped in a beautiful dress, and recalled the scene when he forcibly took her to the cemetery. That time, he touched her body through her clothes, and recalling the touch at that time further fueled his current imagination. Her body was soft and very elastic.
Longzhu was still sitting at the next table. Hearing her sexy voice, Xiao Long wanted to have an adventure after dinner, which was a way to speed up the progress of the marriage.
"Excuse me." Long Zhu returned to Xiao Long, "You are a regular customer of mine." After she sat down, she picked up the fork again, and her soft and white fingers caught Xiao Long's attention.
"I guessed it too, your English is so fluent!"
"No. Just words."
Longzhu is completely different from Wu Chen, Lai Qianxiu and Shi Yunfeng. Her temperament is luxurious and elegant. The dim lights and red candlelight highlighted her beautiful appearance, and Xiao Long eagerly wanted to get the dragon ball.
When dessert was served after the meal, Xiao Long pretended to be casual and asked, "Do you have any plans after the meal?"
Long Zhu was eating white melon and glanced at Xiao Long: "It's nothing. If it's convenient, how about going to the club together?"
"Okay." Xiao Long replied vaguely.
"Hey, do you already have plans?"
"No, it's not. It's just that I've been to the club many times and I wanted to go somewhere different."
"What's the difference?"
“Having dined in such a fancy place, I wanted to sit somewhere quiet and warm.”
"Hey, is there such a place?"
"Yes, I know a family where we can relax and have a drink."
"Is it far from here?" she asked while cutting the melon.
"It's not very far, it takes about 40 minutes to drive." Xiao Long said.
"Where is it?"
"Peach Blossom Island." Xiao Long simply told the truth.
"Peach Blossom Island?" There was a hint of hesitation on Long Zhu's face. She had already guessed the purpose of going to Peach Blossom Island. Xiao Long glanced at her secretly. However, her face immediately regained its composure and she calmly replied: "Okay."
Xiao Long was very excited. After finishing the meal, he couldn't wait to get up and said: "Let's go."
Long Zhu nodded, wiped his mouth quietly with a napkin, took out the powder puff from his arms and lowered his head to touch up his makeup. Xiao Long waited for her while smoking a cigarette, and then the two of them got up and left together.
When Xiao Long asked the waiter to pay the bill, Long Zhu stopped him: "I'll pay tonight!"
"How can that be done?"
"I invited you, so I'll pay." The waiter in red stood beside Long Zhu.
"In that case, thank you very much for the hospitality." Xiao Long lowered his head slightly.
The two walked towards the door, and the restaurant manager politely sent Long Zhu to the door.
"Where's the car?" Longzhu asked.
Xiao Long said he would park nearby and when he walked towards the parking lot, Long Zhu suddenly asked: "It won't take too long, right?"
"No." Xiao Long pretended to be nonchalant.
Xiao Long drove past a bridge. There were many small water lanterns floating on the river under the bridge, like dots of stars.
"It's so beautiful!" Long Zhu, who was sitting behind Xiao Long, admired sincerely.
One after another, water lanterns slowly drifted away on the dark water. After crossing the bridge, the car entered the inside of Taohua Island Park. This area is mostly private hotels surrounded by wooden walls. Xiao Long drove into one of them. Long Zhu must have noticed the nature of this store, or in other words, she had already noticed it when she heard the name Peach Blossom Island. Xiao Long thought she would object, but she followed him out of the car silently.
"There is a very interesting host here. Call her over and let's have a few drinks." Xiao Long suggested as he walked towards the lighted entrance with beautiful doors.
Longzhu was still silent.
After walking through the damp courtyard stones, the familiar waitress walked out of the shadow of the lamp, saluting while guessing Xiao Long's intention.
"Oh, it's difficult." Noticing the strange woman Xiao Long brought, she saluted again: "Welcome."
