Miss, you are my future wife

Chapter 365 Give her back to me!
"You can't take care of her." Zhang Zhengkai commented.

Xiao Yao smiled and did not refute him.

"Where are we going to eat today?" Zhang Zhengkai suddenly stopped and asked Xiao Yao.

"Shunfeng Hotel." Xiao Yao told Zhang Zhengkai.

"Shunfeng Hotel," Zhang Zhengkai nodded and said, "Hello Yaqi."

Shunfeng Hotel is a chain restaurant that specializes in home-cooked dishes from the city. All dishes are cooked over an open fire. Many people from the city choose this place when gathering with relatives and friends.

The taste is good, the environment is good, and the price is affordable without losing face. Shunfeng Hotel is a people-friendly brand that the common people like to see - of course, rich and powerful young men and wives will probably look down on it.

Zhang Zhengkai didn't dislike this grade, Xiao Yao thought.

Of course, this is normal, because no one, whether it is him or Zhang Zhengkai, really came to have a meal today.

"Xiao Yao, don't you have something to tell me?" The young man walking side by side with Xiao Yao suddenly turned around and asked.

"Ah, yes, yes." Xiao Yao replied eagerly.

"Then... do you think you should tell me directly?" Zhang Zhengkai suggested.

"I - I'm not busy, I'm not busy. Let's sit down and talk slowly." Xiao Yao waved his hands pretending to be calm, steady and confident.

Yes, Xiao Yao felt very uncomfortable walking this distance. This was the first time he felt nervous in front of Zhang Zhengkai.

This is of course not because of Zhang Zhengkai himself - although he tried hard to dress up like an adult today, Xiao Yao knew in his heart that it was impossible for a little kid with no wealth to grow up to anywhere in a few months.

What makes Xiao Yao nervous is the ripples surrounding Zhang Zhengkai and himself that only he can detect.

The organization arranged for Zhang Zhengkai to be lured here - ah, no, it was arranged to come to this place. Although it was not stated clearly, it was obviously deployed here.

It is surrounded by the old alleys of the Magic City, which are very similar to the Shikumen where Yu Luying lives, but this is my first time here.

These shouting vendors, chatting neighbors, diners eating, and wandering pedestrians - are they really vendors, neighbors, diners, and pedestrians?

Xiao Yao was a little suspicious.

Which one of them, or which ones, is the agent planted here by the organization to wait for opportunities - er, assistants?
Perhaps, if there is any trouble, they will jump up, subdue Zhang Zhengkai, and then use unique techniques to make him like Zhao Xiaomei.

Although Zhang Zhengkai could hardly be called his friend, that was not the result Xiao Yao expected.

Why did the boss who was selling youdunzi stop shouting when we passed by?Doesn't he want us to buy his oil dumplings?
He may know my mission and purpose and doesn't want to disrupt our schedule. He may be the organization's secret agent.

Also, the two aunties who were chatting didn’t even look at me and Zhang Zhengkai. Normally, these aunts and wives were most interested in the new faces they came and went with. What made them suppress their gossip?Of course it's the order of the organization.

Hey, that couple sitting across from each other in the cold drink shop, you've been exposed. How can anyone order hot coffee in a shop like this?Is it because you can’t stand it after being under control for a long time?I'll report you back and deduct your wages.

Those foreigners carrying travel bags didn’t need to block that intersection, I knew where to go.

"Don't be so nervous, drama queen." Yu Luying said in his heart: "Concentrate on dealing with Zhang Zhengkai in front of you."

"I have an order." Xiao Yao thought.

"Xiao Yao, is it called Shunfeng Hotel?" Zhang Zhengkai suddenly asked.

"Huh? Yes, it's quite delicious. I've been there, it's true."

"It seems we have passed by." Zhang Zhengkai reminded Xiao Yao kindly.

"..."

"..."

"What kind of ghost is the Dragon King's son-in-law?" Zhang Zhengkai smiled and sat down: "She can still read such things?"

Xiao Yao didn't pretend to reserve a private room, not to mention he hadn't made a reservation in advance and couldn't get one now - so he graciously invited Zhang Zhengkai to sit at a table in the hall.

Zhang Zhengkai didn't feel dissatisfied.

"I was also surprised," Xiao Yao said, "and then I criticized her."

It is impossible to book private rooms, but the tables in the lobby are quite generous.

Yu Luying sat at the table diagonally across from Xiao Yao, and there was only a corridor between them.

She didn't order food or drinks, she just cracked the melon seeds provided by the hotel, drank the free lemonade, sat with her back to the two boys, and continued to read her book.

It took Zhang Zhengkai a lot of effort to force himself not to question Xiao Yao, what is your relationship, and what do you mean by taking this woman with you.

"Hey," Zhang Zhengkai said, "You are also lenient. If little Shen Jie likes to look at you, just let her look at you."

"Yes." Xiao Yao said.

"But that crappy novel about a crooked dragon king and his son-in-law is really famous." Zhang Zhengkai said, "I've read a little bit of it."

"Holy shit, it's really popular all over the country." Xiao Yao sighed.

While sighing, he stood up, approached Yu Luying, and patted her back.

"Stop cracking melon seeds," Xiao Yao leaned down and said in the girl's ear: "We haven't even talked about anything yet, and there's smoke coming out of my throat."

"Tsk." Yu Luying put down the empty melon seed shell in her hand dissatisfied.

Xiao Yao returned to Zhang Zhengkai's table: "Sorry."

"Who among us will order?" Zhang Zhengkai took the menu and flicked it with his index and middle fingers.

"You order first, and I'll add more." Xiao Yao thought for a moment and said.

Zhang Zhengkai was not polite to him either. He lowered his head and started writing on the menu.He sometimes marked the menu, sometimes turned the pen two or three times, and continued the topic: "I really don't like this book. There is a supporting character in it. Whose name is he? It turns out that he is the heroine. My son-in-law is here."

"Oh, really?" Xiao Yao responded casually.

"The heroine's father made a three-year agreement with him and said he would examine him for three years. Then the supporting actor served their family by bringing tea, water, and sweeping the floor for three years. What was the result? As soon as the hero appeared, Old Taishan seemed to have forgotten This is the same thing, just kidnap the male protagonist home and make him a son-in-law."

"It turns out that men can be so changeable when they see strange things." Xiao Yao responded, looking over Zhang Zhengkai's shoulder and falling on a fashionably dressed woman three tables away.

Although she changed her hairstyle, a pair of colored glasses, and new clothes that didn't match her temperament at all, she still looked a bit like... Lucia.Isn't it?
"Who says it's not?" Zhang Zhengkai said: "Later on, the supporting character held a grudge and always wanted to take revenge on them. Later, he became a clown or a villain. Then he was eliminated by the male protagonist time and time again, and was finally expelled. Get out of the house.”

"This kind of book," Xiao Yao continued to observe "Luzia" and said casually: "The supporting characters are all tool people, tools used to pretend to be slapped in the face by the protagonist. They are all very superficial and have no idea. What is meant by deep and three-dimensional character creation? It also lacks due humanistic care."

"Who says it's not," Zhang Zhengkai said: "Things like online novels..."

Lucia realized that Xiao Yao had been looking at her, so she quietly put her index finger on her lips and made a "shush" motion.

Well, it turned out to be her.

Xiao Yao coughed and retracted his gaze.

Although neither Yu Bo nor Carl Schedlin directly admitted it, Xiao Yao could still guess the hidden purpose of the seaside summer camp in August.

On the surface, it was just a student club activity.

In fact, it is indeed just a religious community activity.

However, beneath the high-sounding surface, there is another layer of "conspiracy."

Bringing together children from three parishes.

Observe them as they learn, play, live and play.

Find more "potentials" for the organization who can inspire and harness the power of the spiritual fortress.

This will bring new strength to the organization.

Lucia is undoubtedly one of the "first prizes" they have found in this summer camp.

As for whether more "potentials" are "captured" by the organization?
Xiao Yao didn't know.

Of course, this is not the immediate point.

Zhang Zhengkai has already ordered the dishes - three-cup chicken, grilled braised braised pork, duck with local sauce, crab powder tofu, sweet and sour short ribs and braised pork.

Xiao Yao looked at the quantity and it seemed that it was already over the limit, but in order to avoid being criticized by Zhang Zhengkai for being stingy, he still added shredded eel and mutton pot, plus half a dozen beer.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two of them chatted all over the place.

But when Xiao Yao raised his glass to him, Zhang Zhengkai sat still.

"I'm sorry, Lao Xiao," Zhang Zhengkai's expression became solemn: "I can't clink glasses with you. That's a friendly gesture."

Xiao Yao didn't take it seriously and drank the beer in his glass: "It's okay, I understand."

"From the time we met until now," Zhang Zhengkai continued to sit upright and motionless: "It has been less than an hour and more than half an hour, but we have been chatting and talking nonsense, talking about you, me and him - you have an appointment today If I come out, what can I learn from you?"

"Drink, eat, eat." Xiao Yao followed the organization's instructions and continued to show his goodwill, showing the magnanimity of a winner: "What's wrong with coming out to get together occasionally? I have to have something to do before I invite you to dinner?"

"Don't pretend that we are still friends," Zhang Zhengkai sighed: "Just tell me what you want to do."

"Me," Xiao Yao picked up a pair of chopsticks and placed it on the white rice in front of him: "I just feel sorry for you and I think I should apologize to you face to face."

"If you know you are wrong, then give her back to me." Zhang Zhengkai said.

"I am not wrong," Xiao Yao said without hesitation: "She is not my possession, and I have no right to return her to anyone."

"So what's the point of this fake apology?" Zhang Zhengkai asked Xiao Yao: "You have no intention of compensating the victim."

"If I could, I actually don't want to hurt you at all," Xiao Yao told Zhang Zhengkai: "Maybe this is fate."

"That's what you asked me out for?" Zhang Zhengkai said a little bit harshly: "Kaikai, although I stole your fiancée, you should forgive me generously. We can still become friends again. Don't Too petty."

The conversation seemed to have reached a deadlock, Xiao Yao thought with a headache.

"Actually, if it weren't for Shen Jie, we should be very good friends." Xiao Yao said with some difficulty: "We actually have similar interests."

"Actually, if it weren't for Shen Jie, I wouldn't have any interaction with you... and you, and I don't want to have any interaction with you." Zhang Zhengkai said, "I'm actually very busy."

A surge of anger surged into Xiao Yao's forehead.

In exchange for his good intentions, he is arrogant and unreasonable, and declares "I despise you" to his face?

Xiao Yao held back and did not have an attack.

Zhang Zhengkai felt a little regretful when he saw the expression on the other side's face.

"Aren't you...I, I went a little too far." Zhang Zhengkai said.

"I know," Xiao Yao nodded: "It's okay."

"I really like her. She is unique to me," Zhang Zhengkai told Xiao Yao: "But not to you. She is just one of thousands of flowers that you just picked up."

"I also like her very much. She is also unique to me," Xiao Yao corrected calmly: "So this is your misunderstanding."

"I doubt it." Zhang Zhengkai said.

"I hope you believe me. I can completely empathize with your feelings." Xiao Yao said.

"You're not me, how can you feel the same way?" Zhang Zhengkai retorted.

"You're not me, how do you know I won't feel the same way?" Xiao Yao said seriously: "I'm not trying to make excuses - you are not the only one who likes someone's experience."

"Whatever." Zhang Zhengkai shrugged: "That's what Zhuangzi said."

Yes, I said so, Xiao Yao thought.

"You know what? You are frightening her now," Xiao Yao told Zhang Zhengkai: "Is this a sign of love?"

"Shen Jie is afraid?" Zhang Zhengkai showed a sad and somewhat want to laugh expression: "She is afraid of me?"

"Don't you know what you have done recently?" Xiao Yao asked while trying to observe Zhang Zhengkai's eyes and micro-expressions.
