Seeing Dong Qiangqiang walking into the restaurant, Lei Lanting, who was sitting in the corner, raised his left arm and greeted: "Old Dong, here!"
Dong Qiangqiang walked to the dining table in a few steps, put his schoolbag on the chair opposite Lei Lanting and teased him: "You are really punctual."
"That's because he is not active in eating and has a problem with his thinking." Lei Lanting said as he handed the menu to Dong Qiangqiang, "Here, whoever cooks will order."
Dong Qiangqiang declined: "Let's wait for Lele to come and start a meal."
"Ahem, it's the same whether it's breakfast or dinner. Let's order ours first. Steak takes time just like roast duck." Lei Lanting disapprovingly put the menu on the table, "Besides, I didn't eat at noon so I was just waiting for your meal. , now I’m so hungry that my heart is pressed against my back. How about it, can you feed me?”
Are you satisfied with Western food? Dong Qiangqiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. Lei Lanting was really asking the lion to open his mouth. But he was indeed happy today. The company's business license was successfully obtained without any problems, which solved many problems.
Dong Qiangqiang rolled up his sleeves proudly and waved his hand: "No matter what."
Lei Lanting took it upon himself to order three steaks (two for himself) and a few bottles of beer. The two of them had just exchanged a few words when someone behind Dong Qiangqiang said, "Why are you all here early?"
Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting followed the sound and saw Tong Lele walking over from a short distance away.
She wore a light blue little hat, and her black hair slanted down one side of her shoulders. There were several large waves permed at the ends of her hair, giving her a sense of feminine charm.
The light green slim-fitting dress was as if it was tailor-made just for her, showing off her tall figure and perfect proportions to the fullest.
The wide-cut trousers covered her ankles and feet, leaving only a few toes with red nails exposed.
Before Dong Qiangqiang had time to speak, Lei Lanting had already jumped out of his seat.
He pulled another chair from the empty table next to him, threw Dong Qiangqiang's bag onto the chair, pulled Dong Qiangqiang away, respectfully invited Tong Lele to the chair where Dong Qiangqiang's schoolbag was previously placed, and finally gently put Dong Qiangqiang's bag away. Her chair was pushed closer to the dining table.
Seeing Lei Lanting's skillful movements, Dong Qiangqiang teased: "Okay, Lao Lei, when did you become so sensible?"
Lei Lanting sat back on his chair proudly and raised his neck: "ier (German: always)."
Lei Lanting and Tong Lele sat face to face, with Dong Qiangqiang sitting between them. A waiter came over and lit the candle between the three of them.
Lei Lanting looked at Tong Lele lovingly: "Tong, I'm treating you tonight, you're welcome, just do whatever you want." Then he pointed at Dong Qiangqiang: "He is responsible for paying."
Tong Lele smiled and said: "The person who invited me didn't say anything, but you, the one who was invited, were very generous."
"Anyway, without me, you wouldn't have gone to Mueller's house, and there would be no need to look for the treasure later." Lei Lanting handed the menu to Tong Lele, "But I alone won't be enough. What would happen without me? , maybe I would have been scared away if I went there. Without you, we might not be able to find the secret passage. In short, none of us can do this without the three of us, so we should have a good drink tonight. You won’t come home until you’re drunk.”
Tong Lele was listening with a smile, but when she suddenly heard the word "big wine", her face changed slightly, but it was fleeting.
Dong Qiangqiang caught a glimpse of her expression and knew that Tong Lele hated drinking the most, so he quickly smoothed things over: "We have to go to the nursing home to do volunteer work tomorrow, so don't drink today. Just order some drinks."
Tong Lele is actually not afraid of drinking. What she is worried about is that Lei Lanting confesses to her after drinking. She doesn't want to face this kind of embarrassment all the time.
Girls are usually not moved by the persistence of boys they don't like, and are only depressed and upset.
Looking at Tong Lele's rosy face and waterfall-like black hair through the candlelight, Lei Lanting couldn't help but feel excited. He was also worried that the relationship with Tong Lele, which had just been eased, would become tense again, so he immediately changed his words: "Okay, Lele has a drink. Old Dong, please drink with me."
"Okay, let's talk about it and finish the order." Dong Qiangqiang raised his arms and said, "Waiter, two glasses of Bavarian sparkling water with lemon slices."
Tong Lele couldn't help but feel surprised that Dong Qiangqiang knew her preferences.
"Is there anyone who treats guests like you?" Lei Lanting pretended to be sulky and said angrily, "Let the guests think about it? Are you worried about the money?"
"Yes, I made a mistake. Uncle Lei is laughing. You can do whatever you want, I'll do it." Dong Qiangqiang bit the bottle caps of the two bottles of beer brought by the waiter together, and when he competed with his hands, the two bottle caps made a "snap" sound at the same time. Being pried open. He handed Lei Lanting a bottle, then drank it down in one gulp. After finishing the drink, he turned the bottle upside down to show that he was not opportunistic.
"Hehe, that's pretty much it," Lei Lanting nodded with satisfaction, "That sentence just now was really outrageous."
Three steaks, grilled to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, were served one after another. Lei Lanting very gentlemanly chose the best-looking steak for Tong Lele, then picked one for himself, and finally threw the worst-looking steak to Dong Qiangqiang. Yes, I turned around and ordered another steak.
"prt! (German: Cheers! Good luck!)" Dong Qiangqiang did not blow on the bottle anymore, but poured the beer into the glass. He raised his glass and looked left and right at Tong Lele and Lei Lanting. "At this moment, I want to sincerely thank you both." After that, he drank another glass.
Lei Lanting took a drink while pretending to be a cat and a tiger.
Tong Lele held the sparkling water and stared at Dong Qiangqiang silently. I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or other reasons, but a blush appeared on her cheeks. Fortunately, the light in the tavern was not bright. The three of them were sitting in the corner again, and the light was a little darker. Lei Lanting did not see her face.
"I feel very lucky to be able to meet you in a foreign country. So," Dong Qiangqiang raised his glass again and said sincerely, "Cheers to our fate!"
Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to drink again, Lei Lanting held down his hand and winked at him: "Do you understand that ladies come first? The second cup should wish our rich woman Lele to stay young forever!"
Dong Qiangqiang immediately understood that Lei Lanting was reminding him of the recent rumor, so he changed his words and repeated: "I wish the lovely rich woman Lele will stay young forever!"
Tong Lele saw that the two of them were singing along to entertain her again, but she was not anxious. She just smiled and took a sip of water to soak in the water.
The three of them talked about what happened that day in the Wild Boar Forest and the Muller Villa. Just as they were talking about the excitement, they heard someone say in Chinese from behind the three of them: "Tong Lele?"
The three of them turned around at the same time and saw a young girl wearing a blue and white waiter uniform in the restaurant looking at Tong Lele timidly.
She looked to be around 20 years old, about 1.6 meters tall, with neat short hair, but she looked very thin.
"Who are you?" Tong Lele felt familiar, but couldn't remember what the other person's name was.
"I'm Hua Ling. We lived in the same building before, but then you moved to the student dormitory. Have you forgotten? I study cello. We also discussed music theory together in the public kitchen..."
"Oh, are you Hualing?" Tong Lele seemed to remember, "I remember you had long hair before, but now you..."
"It's too inconvenient to work with long hair. I've cut it short a long time ago." Hualing glanced at Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting, "Are they all your friends?"
"Well, let me introduce, this is Dong Qiangqiang, and this is..." Before Tong Lele finished speaking, Lei Lanting had already stood up, straightened his clothes, reached out his hand, and said in a low tone: "My dear Lei Lanting, nice to meet you. .”
"Oh. Hello." Hua Ling glanced at Lei Lanting in surprise, shook his hand politely and then immediately retracted his hand.
Lei Lanting rubbed his fingers, thinking about it and sat back on the chair.
"Well, is it convenient for you now?" Hualing hesitated, "I have something to tell you."
Tong Lele didn't expect that the other party would make such a request while she was eating. She didn't know how to speak for a moment, and was in trouble. Dong Qiangqiang touched Lei Lanting and said, "Come out with me to have a cigarette."
Lei Lanting, who was holding his chin attentively to listen to what the other party was asking, waved his hand impatiently: "You can go alone, I have to accompany Lele."
Dong Qiangqiang took Lei Lanting's hand without any explanation and pulled him out. He heard Lei Lanting shout: "Hey, I quit smoking now."
Hualing looked at Tong Lele, suddenly knelt down with a plop, lowered his head and said, "Can you help me?"
