It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"Ah."

Su Lin responded softly. This was the truth. The fact that the young master discovered her was enough to explain a lot of things. In addition, he had the "Yujing" in his hand... Although he seemed to be powerless, it was actually not that easy to take him down.

This made her feel relieved. The young master was becoming more and more mature, in all aspects... How many times had she felt relieved because of the young master's maturity?

"Then don't do that again."

Xu Shi took advantage of her daze and gently scratched her nose, "Okay, didn't you say you wanted to invite me to dinner tonight? Are we leaving now?"

“Yes… eh?”

Su Lin answered subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong, "Master, how did you know it was me..."

"If I don't know, then there's no way I'd know. You're being so secretive. If it's really a business meeting, can you not tell me?"

Xu Shi always felt that she had been with the wrong people for too long, and her IQ had dropped. "Besides, even if it was a business meeting, who would choose a place like the Blue Ocean?"

Although both are high-end restaurants, the natures of "Babylon" and "Blue Ocean" are very different. The former is a formal business place where people mainly discuss business and secondarily eat, while the latter is more private and was once regarded as a good place for family and friends to dine together, or for young couples to date.

Anyway, I don’t know how many wallets the boss behind the scenes has reaped over the years from the infatuated people.

"Then, do you still want to go..."

Director Su felt a little aggrieved. It was Cheng Cheng who said that she wanted to keep the mystery, but how could her relationship with Xu Shi be so mysterious? Now it has become more obvious than it actually is... Or forget it. Without the mystery, the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

"Go, why not go?"

Xu Shi laughed and said, "It's unprecedented that you asked me out for dinner. I don't want to miss such a rare opportunity."

"Then I'll go drive!"

Su Lin perked up after hearing that. After all, she didn't want to give up this opportunity and had been preparing for it for a long time... This made her feel very happy and she showed a rare cheerfulness.

"Hi."

Looking at her happy look, Xu Shi smacked his lips unconsciously, smiled and shook his head.

……

"Blue Ocean" was reserved today and the decoration was very impressive. When Xu Shi first came in and saw the flowers everywhere, he thought he had accidentally entered someone's wedding banquet.

But flowers and decorations cannot be eaten. Sitting here, he could only drink cold water. He waited and waited but no food was served... Why did Su Lin disappear? She said she was going to park the car, where did she park?

Xu Shi thought it was funny and wanted to see how big a job Director Su, who was usually inseparable from him, could do today.

I do not know how long it has been.

The lights in the restaurant suddenly went out, and a moment later the starry sky ceiling suddenly lit up.

"...Master."

Su Lin's voice was then heard, and she slowly walked out of the darkness.

After seeing her outfit clearly, Xu Shi was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

He had never seen her dressed like this before - a traditional pure white off-shoulder evening gown with a slight hollowing out process and a few gemstones dotted on it just right, highlighting her delicate collarbone. Her hair was tied up with a hairpin, and on her feet were a pair of standard speed shoes.

She was totally devoid of her usual dashing and capable demeanor; instead, she was only charming, and coupled with her slightly shy expression, one look at her would make one's breathing become irregular.

"What are you..."

Xu Shi was also looking at it in a trance.

"Okay, does it look good..."

Su Lin's steps were a little awkward. "Is it... not suitable for me to wear this?"

"…It's not that it's inappropriate, it's just that I've never seen you wear it like this."

Xu Shi paused, stood up and took her hand, "You should have told me earlier. It seems that I am dressed a little sloppily."

He was still wearing the Inspection Bureau uniform and had no place to change.

No wonder she took so long, it turned out she went to change clothes... Director Su was so beautiful under the starry sky, which made Director Xu amazed, but also suddenly a little regretful.

It is true that I have never seen her dressed like this. Just like what Jiang Chengcheng said, it is no exaggeration to say that Su Lin's daily attire has remained unchanged. Even a few years ago, she was still wearing a maid outfit - this kind of dress is not conducive to movement and is completely inconsistent with her principle of protecting herself.

If I really want to say, the last cocktail party might have been an opportunity, but unfortunately, that brat Gu Yi took my place...

It's not that she is not good-looking usually. Director Su is a tall and fit beauty. She looks good in anything she wears. But she always wears the same kind of clothes, which inevitably makes people feel aesthetically fatigued.

That's why he felt his eyes brightened, and of course happy. It is said that women dress up to please themselves, and as the one who is pleased, it would be a lie to say that he is not happy.

"No, it doesn't matter. Young Master looks handsome no matter what he wears..."

Su Lin herself was a little reserved. She was the nervous one as it was her first time wearing such clothes. Jiang Chengcheng helped her pick out the clothes... But seeing that the young master's reaction seemed good, she finally felt a little relieved.

The young master actually took the initiative to hold my hand. I felt itchy in my palm...

"It's really beautiful. I've waited so long for this."

Xu Shi held her hand, and he didn't want to let go. "What day is it today? Our director of Su University has made so many preparations?"

"It's not a special day... to celebrate your completion of community service, young master?"

Su Lin didn't want to let go. She even felt dizzy and couldn't speak.

"What kind of reason is that?"

Xu Shi was amused, "It doesn't matter, if today is not a day, then let it be a day."

"Um……"

Su Lin nodded with a red face. She didn't expect that the progress was so smooth.

The atmosphere is mainly good. The only awkwardness is caused by my shyness... No matter how you look at it, the young master must be very satisfied with his arrangements, right?

Sure enough, it was no problem for a good girlfriend to pass on her experience. It would definitely be easy to win over the young master later!

result.

The beautiful fantasy was instantly shattered like a bubble when the meal was served.

"Um...is this the dinner you prepared?"

Looking at the roasted leeks and kidneys on the gilded plate, Xu Shi's eyes twitched unconsciously, and the hand holding the knife and fork forgot how to place it for a moment.

"Ah this..."

Su Lin hadn't recovered yet, "Master, don't you like it..."

“It has nothing to do with whether you like it or not, right?”

Xu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He really wasn't the type who was aloof and out of touch with the world, at least not after his past life memories were awakened. What was wrong with eating barbecue? Did he have a bad time eating with Miss Black Rabbit before? They almost became sworn brothers... It wouldn't be a problem to change the target to Su Lin. Three or five bottles of pussy and two punches would still be a good day.

The problem is the environment, the environment! The foreshadowing was so good before, but now this happens, the atmosphere is completely gone, okay?

You even prepared a goji berry wine! What's that at the bottom of the bottle, deer antler or maca?

Buffett lunch, right? Xu Shi believed that there was absolutely no such thing in the world, but I didn't expect that you, Su Lin, created it!

"Tell me, who gave you this advice?"

He was now completely certain that someone was behind all this, otherwise how could Su Lin do such a thing? Your character was almost completely destroyed...

“…It’s Chengcheng.”

Su Lin also came to her senses and realized that this was indeed a bit incongruous. After some psychological struggle, she chose to confess.

"From beginning to end?"

Xu Shi asked.

"Um……"

Su Lin responded aggrievedly. Even if she was slow-witted, she could feel that something was wrong. At least the young master didn't seem happy.

Oh, the method my best friend gave me doesn't completely work...

"Don't put all the blame on others."

Xu Shi said unhappily, "You just do everything she says? What's the point of preparing this table of food?"

"Yes……"

Su Lin was about to answer, but then she changed her mind and thought, wouldn't her intentions be exposed if she said it out loud?

So she immediately changed the subject, "Master, don't you like these? I'll ask them to change them..."

"Forget it, it's a shame to waste it."

Xu Shi was not really angry, of course. He waved his hand to show that he did not care. "Don't bother. If you change people, we will starve to death."

To be honest, it’s actually quite interesting to eat roasted kidneys in this kind of atmosphere.

So he quickly started to enjoy the meal. It was probably because it was a high-end restaurant and the cuisine he was not good at was cooked so well.

Su Lin, however, had no appetite at all. She didn't know whether to blame herself for being stupid or her best friend for being unreliable. She scratched the grilled kidney unconsciously, and all she could think about was how to make up for it.

"So, you've come all this way today. What exactly do you want to tell me?"

Before she could think it through, Xu Shi spoke first, asking with interest.

"I... I've never had a meal with you, young master, so I wanted to give it a try..."

Su Lin was still too embarrassed to say it, and tried to evade the question by hesitating.

"I'll count to three. If you don't tell me, I'll never tell you again in my life."

Xu Shi didn't indulge her, and his tone was even a bit commanding.

"……don't want!"

These words immediately broke Su Lin's defense, and she stood up without caring about her image.

"I... I just really can't stand the fact that there are more and more people around you, Master, and you always ignore me..."

She looked at Xu Shi seriously and said, "Even if it's Cheng Cheng, I'm jealous of her. I'm even afraid that you won't need me in the future..."

"I am a retainer of the Xu family. Logically, I shouldn't think about these things. Even if you really abandon me, I should have no complaints... But I really feel bad, so I tried to ask you out..."

"Actually, I was planning to do this a few days ago, but you wanted to go out with that Tang Shuang again, and I wanted to follow you but you wouldn't let me..."

She poured out all the grievances she had been feeling for a long time - it was really a long time. In terms of seniority, if Su Lin was second, who would dare to say she was first? But everyone else came from behind, and she was the only one left out. Director Su's heart was not made of iron, and it was not easy for him to endure until now.

In particular, her liking for Xu Shizhen was not something that happened overnight. It was a feeling that had existed for a long time. In the past, it was mostly out of gratitude, and she had this thought in her mind: "Even if the young master is a waste, I will still drag him away."
