Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 159 Jinshan Yinshan
After coming out of Xu Ruochu's house, Lu Yao took out his cell phone while walking downstairs.

Around 12:, he received a message from Senior Sister Bai Yao:

"We're done."

If someone who doesn’t know the situation saw this news, they would probably think the two had broken up.

Lu Yao saw it at that time, but he had someone in his arms, so he didn’t reply.

Just now I replied:
"Okay, senior sister, go to bed early, good night."

Then, he sent a message to Xue Mingyue:
"Where are you?"

Xue Mingyue replied immediately:
"In the hotel, Brother Lu."

"Did he drink too much?"

"Not really, but I'm asleep now."

"Okay, take good care of him, and you should go to bed early. Good night."

"Yeah, good night, Brother Lu."

After confirming that Mr. Xu was lying safely, he felt relieved.

You know what... at this time, he can finally feel the goodness of "Yueyue".

Just as I was about to reach the gate of the community, my cell phone rang again.

Bai Yao replied:

"I thought you were asleep."

"No, I just finished my work here."

"Why did you go?"

Looking at the content of the text message, although it was not the first time... Lu Yao found that Xue Mingyue was indeed right, this senior sister... was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, no wonder she was so popular in school.

After thinking for a while, he replied:

"There's something going on here."

"Are you accompanying your girlfriend?"

"Yes. She's also drinking and is drunk. I'm here to pick her up."

"guessed."

"Can you guess this?"

"can."

"Okay. Then you should get some rest early, senior."

He wanted to end the chat.

But Bai Yao didn't mean to end it, and sent a message:
"Are you going to sleep?"

"No, I'm not home yet."

"You don't live with her?"

"No."

"Okay. I'm having a midnight snack, do you want to come over?"

She suddenly sent an invitation.

You know what...he is really hungry.

Because he didn't have dinner at all. He wanted to eat... but Shen Wan was too clingy and he didn't make time.

If it were any other day, he would have definitely refused since he didn't have the habit of eating midnight snacks, but at this moment... the moment he saw the content of the text message, his stomach started to growl.

No, I have to eat something.

However...the options for late night snacks in Lujiazui are actually quite limited.

Between going home to deal with the bite and accepting the invitation, he chose to ask first.

"Where is Senior now?"

As soon as I asked, an address was sent to me.

It's in Puxi, I don't know what restaurant it is, but... not too far away.

Lu Yao thought about it and replied:
"it is good."

"Well, then I'll wait for you."

He simply stopped a car, told the address, and arrived at the location in less than twenty minutes.

Only then did I realize...it was actually a seafood food stall. And there were quite a few people.

Judging from the signboard, it seems to be Chaoshan cuisine.

And it must be quite old, it looks very homely.

To be able to open such a down-to-earth restaurant near Nanjing Road, it would be impossible without some strong capabilities.

The rent is so expensive. If the food is not delicious and there are no customers, I guess it won’t last long.

As he was thinking about it, he saw Bai Yao waving at a man.

So I walked over directly.

After the man saw Lu Yao, he left awkwardly.

Lu Yao looked at him curiously, then sat opposite her:

"Friends?"

"No, I need a phone call."

The senior student's face turned cold again.

It doesn't look easy to approach.

After saying that, she shouted to the older sister holding the menu:
"Boss, the dishes are ready."

Lu Yao looked around curiously and said with a smile:
“I didn’t know there was a food stall like this here.”

"My teammates brought me here once, and I thought the food was delicious, so I come here often to eat."

While she was speaking, Lu Yao observed her expression and asked:

"How much did you drink, Senior?"

“…How much?”

She thought about it and gave a rough range:
"I don't know, maybe seven or eight cans?"

"..."

Lu Yao felt his stomach cramping a little.

What I drank today was not a 330ML can of beer, but a 500ML can of beer.

About seven or eight cans?
Seven or eight pounds?
I'll be a good boy...

"Senior, you can drink a lot?... I see that you are fine."

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Bai Yao asked in confusion:

"You have a poor alcohol tolerance?"

"… People in the martial arts world call it one cup and you'll be knocked out."

"Ha~"

She couldn't help but laugh.

After thinking about it, he suddenly stood up and left.

When he came back again, he had two bottles of liquor in his hands.

“…I don’t drink.”

Lu Yao quickly shook his head.

But this senior was even more puzzled:

"Who said you drank?"

"..."

Looking at Lu Yao's speechless eyes, she unscrewed the bottle, tilted her head back and took a big sip.

Lu Yao thought that judging from the situation, Shen Wan might be able to fight with her.

And... he also noticed a detail, that is, she had no expression at all when drinking. Shen Wan would occasionally grin, but she drank it just like water, and after a sip... it was gone.

Like drinking.

Looking at Lu Yao's astonished eyes, she said:

"I have a habit of drinking, which is to drink the wine thoroughly. Otherwise, it's the same as not drinking it at all."

"..."

Lu Yao thought that it was almost the same whether you said this or not.

"Besides... I haven't drunk alcohol in a long time. I need to train and stay in shape. I have to stay away from alcohol, but I can't refuse in an occasion like today, so I'll make an exception. I've already made an exception, so it's okay to drink a little more."

As they were talking, the proprietress brought over a plate of snails.

She took out two pairs of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick holder, opened the package, and handed one to Lu Yao first. When it was her turn, she just took her hand, pinched the snail and "sucked" it, and the meat came out.

It looks so skillful.

Seeing this, Lu Yao also followed suit... and it was really fun!

It's really delicious.

"I heard from people in school that you can join the national team?"

"Maybe."

Bai Yao nodded while chewing the snails:

"Among the current batch of domestic players, I can probably be in the top ten among the main attackers. I mean people of the same age as me."

"Uh... that's pretty impressive. Didn't you say you guys are going to participate in the World University Games?"

"Yes, next March. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, we will gather for training."

"Are you confident?"

"…It shouldn't be a big problem."

Her expression remained calm as she spoke.

But...the calmer she is, the colder she looks.

Even though these words were ordinary, when they came out of her mouth, they sounded like a condescending and cold tone.

It's really strange.

It seems to be two extremes from the chatterbox in text messages.

But, hidden in this ordinary feeling is a sense of confidence that "it shouldn't be a big problem".

Come to think of it, the top ten in the country she mentioned should include professional players, right?
Then the value of this “top ten” is more than just three or four floors high.

Seeing this, Lu Yao continued to ask:
"So after you get the results, you will join the national team?"

"I dont go."

She shook her head directly:
"I'm going. I'm already in Brazil now."

"Brazil?...Oh yes, I heard that you are going to Brazil as an exchange student?"

"Well, I didn't go. I gave the opportunity to others."

"why?"

"I'm not going to join the national team. I'll retire after this season. I'll naturally give the opportunity to those who want to join the national team."

"...You're not going to fight anymore?"

Looking at the surprised Lu Yao, she shook her head, raised her head and took another sip of wine, then said calmly:

"I don't want to play anymore. My shoulder, elbow, and wrist are all injured. If I continue to play, I will be the one who suffers. Besides, although I was okay in college, I was only in the top ten at most in the country. The reason why our class is strong is that we can perfectly complement each other, whether it is the main attack, secondary attack, or other positions. But outside of this environment, my strengths and weaknesses are actually quite obvious..."

She spoke seriously and thoroughly.

Unfortunately, Lu Yao didn’t know much about volleyball.

But I still understood it... The "strongest" in everyone's mind obviously has a very clear understanding of his own strength.

When I say top ten, it means top ten. I am not being modest at all, nor am I exaggerating at all.

This senior sister... is unexpectedly frank.

Next, a portion of steamed crab was served.

There was also a pot of oysters and a variety of steamed shrimps.

Lu Yao discovered that today’s meal… was actually quite gout-inducing.

But from a side perspective, it also shows her moderation in diet.

Even midnight snacks are high-protein foods.

Soon, the bottle of Jinjiu was finished.

She unscrewed the second bottle and when she raised her head to drink, she glanced at Lu Yao who was busy peeling shrimps and suddenly said:
"Are you a queen control?"

"……what?"

Looking at the bewildered Lu Yao, she continued to ask:
"Do you like mature girls?"

"..."

The corners of Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

laughed:

"Chu Jie is actually not much older than me."

"Five years old."

"Although I have only met her once, I am not a stranger to her."

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Lu Yao also became interested and asked:
"Senior knows her?"

"Who doesn't know that she is Xu Guojun's daughter?"

As he spoke, Bai Yao also became a little confused:
"You do not know?"

Lu Yao thought to himself, you really know how to ask questions... He could only answer:

"I'm not sure. We haven't been together for a long time. And... there are some things I can't ask."

Bai Yao nodded:
"I understand. It's a man's self-esteem."

"..."

"Ocean Heavy Industry, do you know?"

“The one from the state-owned enterprise?”

Bai Yao nodded:
"Shipbuilding, ports, ship technology... basically anything related to shipping, they are involved. Her family started out in shipping in Shanghai. To be honest, her family was the leader of the shipping gang in Songjiang Prefecture during the Qianlong period."

"..."

Suddenly, Lu Yao felt a heavy weight coming towards him.

"There are four branches in her family now. Her father is the eldest son. She is the eldest daughter of the eldest son. So..."

She shrugged and smiled:
"Isn't it stressful?"

"Fortunately."

Lu Yao thought to himself, I’m just a “stand-in”, what’s there to be stressed about?

But...it has a very deep background.

he said in his heart.

But what amazed him even more was the other person's appetite.

In just a short while, except for half of a grouper which was left, all the other dishes had been almost eaten.

Lu Yao ate only one third of it at most.

The remaining two thirds went into her mouth.

I have to say, he is an athlete after all, and his appetite is really amazing.

Bai Yao used the Xu family as the topic and chatted about some "anecdotes" that she knew.

For example, how generous and righteous the Xu family was back then.

For example, how did her family support a hidden maritime trade line during the Anti-Japanese War...

Lu Yao discovered that the more he knew, the more he understood the meaning of Mr. Xu's words, "Do you know how difficult it has been for my family to get to this point today?"

That's really the case.

So many people died and so many bloodlines were cut off to get to this day.

Tsk.

Respectable older generation.

He sighed and started eating this meal, which was currently his only proper meal.

Rice noodles served in a clay pot.

Bai Yao also drank up the second bottle of wine in no time.

Also started to slurp noodles.

While talking, they started talking about rock music.

Only then did Lu Yao realize that she was actually an audiophile.

I not only like Green Day and Coldplay, but also some bands that even Lu Yao has never heard of, such as My Chemical Romance and HIM.

The more hardcore Marilyn Manson is also a fan.

I even went to Las Vegas to watch a concert just to catch up with Guns N' Roses.

And Lu Yao also saw her play list.

The first thing he saw was a long list of Slipknot songs on the other person's phone.

Tsk tsk.

No contact is better.

After a meal, Lu Yao unexpectedly found that she was very cool.

In the true sense of the word.

She likes cycling, has driven across southern Tibet, and even owns a Harley motorcycle...

Although all this "coolness" requires material to build up.

But... reincarnation is indeed a technical job, and there is nothing to say if you are not as skilled as others.

And what she knew made Lu Yao couldn't help laughing:

"Compared to my senior sister, I seem to know nothing."

But unexpectedly, after hearing this, she said very seriously:

“But your life is not confused.”

"...?"

Looking at the surprised Lu Yao, she nodded:

“I can hear it in your songs.”

"..."

Sorry, Rejuvenating Pills.

Damn me.

……

It was a little after two o'clock, and we had eaten and drunk enough.

A blush finally appeared on Bai Yao's face, and she dispelled the coldness and walked out with Lu Yao.

"I'm sending you off, Senior?"

"No, I'll take a taxi."

Bai Yao shook her head "coldly":

"It's too late. There's no point in going on like this. Go to bed early."

"Row."

“When will the new song come out?”

"Uh... definitely next time."

Looking at Lu Yao's perfunctory look, she seemed speechless.

But he didn't say much, just waved his hand and hailed a taxi:

"I'm leaving, let's chat by text."

"Ok."

"Ah."

After watching her get into the car and leave, Lu Yao also hailed a car and planned to go home.

As soon as he got in the car, he received a message from the other party:

“Is this restaurant delicious today?”

“It’s delicious. This is a treasure shop worth visiting more often.”

"Hahaha. That's good. I have a few late-night snack shops. I'll take you there next time."

Lu Yao didn't care much about anything else.

His eyes were mainly focused on the three words "Hahaha".

I thought to myself that this senior sister is really interesting.

He was clearly "cold" and serious when we met face to face the whole night.

But the content of the text message is quite lifelike.

He is simply a two-faced person.

Cold on the outside, warm on the inside?

He shook his head with a smile and yawned.

After eating and drinking, I feel sleepy.

When I got home and washed up, it was almost 3 o'clock.

Unable to bear it any longer, he threw himself into the somewhat unfamiliar bed, closed his eyes, and knew nothing.

At noon on the 21st, he woke up and saw the news that his girlfriend had arrived safely.

He sent a reply, but the other party didn't reply.

Probably because of jet lag.

At lunch, in view of her son's recent behavior of not being home every other day, Ms. Chen verbally warned her lawless son... and also asked him if he had a girlfriend.

Then, in response to Lu Yao, she gave Lu Yao a new title: Clumsy Lu Yao.

But I didn't ask any more questions.

My son has grown up, and it’s time for him to have his own life.

However, when Lu Yao took the initiative to help his mother wash the dishes after dinner, Ms. Chen talked to him about her plans for the New Year.

This year...she or Lu Yuanshan, the two of them will go to France.

Lu Yao was stunned:
"Go see Lu Qing?"

"Ah."

Ms. Chen nodded:

"Two days ago, your father and I got our passports done... Now we're just thinking about who's going."

"Why can't we two be together?"

Listening to her son's words, Ms. Chen rolled her eyes:
"Do you have a mountain of gold or silver? The round-trip airfare alone costs 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and there's also accommodation. Things abroad are so expensive, how can you afford them?"

"…What should I do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Shall I go? ... Shall I come with you? And serve as your translator?"

"Does it cost you anything to go?"

Listening to her son's overconfident answer, Ms. Chen did not question his English level.

After all, on her side, Lu Yao had already passed the exam.

Passing the exam proves that my son’s English is very good.

This is her simplest view.

"Your father and I can go alone. Otherwise, I'd be a little worried if your sister were to stay there alone."

"Does Lu Qing know about this?"

"I don't know yet. I plan to give her a surprise."

"Well...why don't I go with you?"

He thought that he could secretly spend a few days there with his girlfriend.

As a result, this idea was immediately and ruthlessly suppressed:

"No, if you go there, the plane ticket alone will cost you tens of thousands of dollars, so just stay home."

"That's...ok."

He had no choice but to agree.

However, although he agreed, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

How do you say that?

If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to it.

Isn’t that the end?
He was worrying about what Valentine's Day gift to give his girlfriend when he suddenly remembered what she said in the hotel:
"Baby, just wrap yourself in a red ribbon and lie on the bed waiting for me..."

Rubbing his chin, he suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks:

"Mom, I'm going out."

"Why go?"

"Play."

He gave a concise and legitimate reason, took his ID card, changed his clothes, and quickly left the house.

After returning to my "hometown", I took out my passport.

While driving his Golf to look for a travel agency, he suddenly remembered something.

My girlfriend just asked me to tie a red ribbon around my neck...

Well.

Did she tell me to put on my clothes?
