Metropolis: It’s a showdown, I am the richest man in the world

Then Murong Xi walked to the window of a gluttonous fish and stopped.

"Lu Cang, I want to eat this. I haven't had it since college. I miss it so much. I just don't know if the taste will be the same."

"Okay, what kind of food does Sister Murong want to eat?"

"Just add some side dishes to the glutinous fish."

"I don't know what side dishes Sister Murong likes to eat, so I'll order them all for you."

"No, no, it's too much. I want to eat potato slices, lotus root slices, rice cakes and crispy bone sausage."

Lu Cang was somewhat surprised to see Murong Xi being so rude, but he actually appreciated this kind of character more.

Afterwards, Lu Cang walked to the window and ordered two portions of gluttonous fish, plus the side dishes mentioned by Murong Xi.

The two of them sat quietly waiting for the meal to be served. The situation was a bit awkward and neither of them spoke.

Until Murong Xi spoke.

"You've been in school for so long, what else do you like to eat?"

Lu Cang touched his head and then replied.

"In the school cafeteria, they have braised chicken and chicken rack noodles."

"Hahahaha, they are all chickens. The university cafeteria is really a huge chicken coop and cannot be separated from chickens. There are chicken pots, braised chicken, chicken rack noodles, fried chicken, curry chicken... "

"Hahahaha, that's right."

Soon the gluttonous fish was served. Lu Cang took the tray and carefully brought it to Murong Xi. The steaming glutinous fish and the delicious side dishes came together, making it particularly tempting.

"Sister Murong, the gluttonous fish is ready. Try it quickly and see if it tastes as good as the one you had before."

Lu Cang smiled and put the tray on the table.

Murong Xi looked at the food in front of her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish, blew on it gently, and then put it in her mouth.

An expression of satisfaction immediately appeared on her face, as if she had returned to her college days, when the happiness and simplicity were all integrated into this mouthful of delicious food.

"It's delicious! It's so delicious. Although it doesn't taste very similar to what I had before, it's still delicious."

Murong Xi's words were full of surprises, and her eyes shone with satisfaction. Lu Cang looked at her, and a warm current surged in his heart.

Sister Murong is so cute sometimes.

"Sister Murong, if you like it, you can come to our school at any time and I'll treat you to it."

Lu Cang said with a smile, his eyes full of sincerity.

Murong Xi nodded. She picked up a piece of crispy bone sausage with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, and savored it carefully.

The crispy taste made her close her eyes, as if the whole world had become quiet.

The two of them just enjoyed the food quietly, without words, only the sound of chopsticks and dishes clattering, but they were full of warmth and harmony.

After eating, Lu Cang suggested taking Murong Xi to the school cinema.

Although this choice was a bit ordinary, he really didn't know where else to take Murong Xi.

He was a little nervous, worried that Murong Xi would be bored, but he still mustered up the courage and took her towards the cinema.

Ultimately, they settled on a horror movie that had just been released.

Lu Cang bought the tickets, and the two of them walked into the dark theater with popcorn and Coke in hand.

The lights gradually dimmed and a movie started playing on the big screen.

They found a seat and sat down. Lu Cang tried his best to look natural, while Murong Xi looked forward to the unfolding of the movie with excitement.

The movie started, and in the dark theater, only the light and shadow on the big screen were dancing.

Lu Cang couldn't help but panic. He was not a person who liked horror movies, but seeing Murong Xi's excited face, he could only bite the bullet and accompany her.

Suddenly, a burst of thrilling music came from the movie, and combined with the terrifying images flashing on the screen, Lu Cang couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

He secretly glanced at Murong Xi and saw that her eyes were shining, completely immersed in the plot of the movie.

As the plot of the movie progresses, there are more and more horror elements.

Lu Cang began to feel a little restless. He couldn't help but grab the armrest beside him, trying to calm his heartbeat.

Murong Xi, on the other hand, was completely immersed in it, making bursts of exclamations from time to time.

Lu Cang suddenly grabbed Murong Xi's hand nervously. His palms were slightly sweaty, conveying an indescribable sense of tension.

Murong Xi was startled by his actions and turned to look at him, only to find that his face was pale and his eyes were fixed on the screen. He was obviously frightened by the horror plot in the movie.

It turns out that this big boy is actually afraid of horror movies, so why did he agree to watch them with me?

She gently held his hand, smiled and comforted him.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a movie."

Lu Cang felt Murong Xi's warmth, and his heart gradually calmed down.

He turned to look at her, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Their hands held each other tightly, as if they had become each other's support in this dark theater.

The movie finally ended and the lights gradually turned on. Lu Cang breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He turned his head and wanted to say something to Murong Xi, but found that she was approaching him with a naughty look on her face.

"Lu Cang, you looked so funny just now, like a frightened little rabbit."

Murong Xi chuckled softly, with a playful light shining in his eyes.

Lu Cang was a little embarrassed by her words. He touched his nose and responded calmly.

"Who says I'm scared? It's just that the movie is too realistic."

At this moment, Murong Xi suddenly reached out and patted Lu Cang's shoulder gently.

Lu Cang was so excited that he jumped up and almost hit the seat in front of him.

Lu Cang was startled by Murong Xi's actions. His eyes widened and his heartbeat accelerated instantly as he looked at her outstretched hand.

Various possibilities flashed through his mind. Could it be that his reaction was too intense and made Murong Xi feel uncomfortable?

He swallowed nervously, preparing to face Murong Xi's scolding.

However, to his surprise, Murong Xi was not angry, but instead showed an apologetic smile.

She gently retracted her hand and said softly.

"I'm sorry, I scared you."

"Ahem... It seems that my courage needs to be tempered! But don't worry, I'm just afraid of horror movies, and I will definitely have no problem protecting you."

etc? ! What am I talking about? ! What is absolutely okay about protecting her?

Hearing Lu Cang's words, Murong Xi was stunned at first, and then a faint blush appeared on his face.

Her eyes shone with shyness, as if Lu Cang's words had touched a chord deep in her heart.

She lowered her head gently and said with a slightly trembling voice.

"You...are you really willing to protect me?"

Lu Cang looked at her shy look and felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart.

He stood up, walked to Murong Xi's side, lowered his head, and met her eyes.

His voice was firm yet gentle.

"Of course, you are in my territory now, and I will definitely protect you."
