let me look at you

Chapter 71 They Are All Gods
How similar their tone is, tell me, how can I compensate you?As if they were gods who could give anything.If she said that I don't want anything, as long as you stay away from me, will anyone believe it?

At the small round table for four, Han Shu and Tang Ye had previously sat beside Cai Jian, one on the left and the other on the right, and there was only one man on each side of the vacant seat for Ju Nian.Han Shu couldn't remember how long it had been since he was so close to her, and he sat beside her quietly, perhaps never before.As long as he stretches his hand a little, he can touch her body... Yes, she once slept peacefully beside him, curled up like a baby, and he was so careful in holding her, lest she would be stuck to her body. Not close enough to hear her breathing, and afraid that if you get too close, your heartbeat will disturb her.Her long black hair tickled his face, but he dared not move.Whether those were his sweet dreams or her nightmares, there was no going back.However, at this moment, he still didn't dare to move.

Xie Ju Nian held the menu in both hands, bowed his head in silence.Han Shu could tell that she put on light makeup today, although it wasn't for him, but he seemed to suddenly understand Tang Ye's heartbeat as a man.She is like a solitary wild flower, with white single-layered petals, soft yellow stamens, slender stems and slender leaves, blooming tremblingly in the wild wind, occasionally bending down, but never breaking.But he stretched out a pair of hands that grew in the greenhouse, and picked them hastily, not knowing that there were thorns on them, and he didn't know that she would wither because of it.What about Tang Ye, what is Tang Ye?
"Asparagus thick soup, wild rice and shrimp jelly, fried scallops with foie gras." Han Shu closed the menu. He is also a frequent visitor, so he didn't bother to order.Cai Jian's blood pressure is high, so he ordered very lightly.

Ju Nian was someone who had never set foot on such an occasion. She flipped through the menu, her palm-sized face was almost buried in the beautifully printed menu.

Fortunately, Tang Ye pulled the menu out of her hand in time, and said in a low voice, "I like the country vegetable chicken soup, mint salmon salad, and fresh orange T-chop. How about you try my taste today?"

Ju Nian was relieved immediately, "Okay, just like you."

The silent time waiting for the food to be served was the hardest. Ju Nian barely raised his head, and the tassels of the napkin were messed up by her.The western restaurant is almost full of guests, the soothing music can hear the sound of small conversations and the collision of metal cutlery, and the waiters swim freely and flexibly between the tables like fish.

Whose breath is in the ear, hurried but held it carefully.It was a dry, cold and majestic night, but Ju Nian suddenly thought of a hot and humid afternoon, messy like tassels under her hands, she didn't like it, and felt bored and uncomfortable.

At some point, next to the violinist at the bar, there was a middle-aged female singer with a variety of styles, standing gracefully with a microphone in her hand, and when she spoke, she had a taste of Cai Qin.The gesture of listening to the song carefully saved those people who had their own concerns.

A classic song "Your Eyes" was sung. After the long prelude, the female singer's voice became more and more vicissitudes. She sang: "Youth will never be repeated once it is gone, and it will disappear without a trace..."

Cai Jian spoke for the first time after Ju Nian appeared, and she tried to use a somewhat dry voice to say to Han Shu nonchalantly: "Look, isn't this the tune you like, back then you were eager to get that old record out of my house..."

Han Shu hooked his lips and reluctantly responded with a smile, but was unsuccessful, so he simply continued to remain silent.

Your face is still the same as back then, my lovesickness has been buried in my heart, you don’t let me confide a word, I can only look at you one more time... look at you one more time, how many lonely springs I have spent...

This slightly decadent and hoarse voice is most suitable for places where lovers gather. Ju Nianban leans sideways, as if listening intently.

Tang Ye bowed his head just right, so as not to get too close to her, but the gesture of whispering seemed a little intimate.

"You like it too? I have a friend who also likes Tsai Chin's songs very much."

"Really?" Ju Nian smiled lightly.

The waiter finally brought the meal.The procedure of French cuisine was the most troublesome. Ju Nian looked at the densely packed tableware in front of her, and her scalp felt numb. Fortunately, Tang Ye moved slowly, so she followed carefully, imitating the example.Bowing their heads to eat has become the most important and only thing the four of them can do at the moment.

Although Ju Nian is smart, he can learn Tang Ye's moves to a certain extent, but it is difficult to become proficient in a short period of time with unfamiliar tableware.In order to take care of her taste, Tang Ye changed her veal steak to fully cooked, lest she would not like raw food, the blood streaks disappeared, but it was even more difficult to cut.Ju Nian held the knife and fork in his hand, which was originally blunt, and there was a lone bone wrapped in the middle of the T-row.

Tang Ye also noticed that although he was a little anxious, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong in his heart. In his opinion, it was not a crime not to be used to Western-style tableware.So he didn't say anything, fearing to embarrass Ju Nian even more, he just added some red wine for her.

Cai Jian secretly looked at Ju Nian calmly, Tang Ye was really nice to her, she was eating her vegetable salad attentively, if the visitor came with hostility, then he should come sooner or later.

The most uncomfortable thing was Han Shu. He was originally impatient and forced himself to restrain himself, but Ju Nian's food was not cut to the essentials, and the metal tableware touched the porcelain from time to time. The sound was faint to others, but it could reach his ears. Inside, there was a sound, creaking and creaking, which made people feel confused.

He felt that the steak lying on her dinner plate was not some kind of steak, but him, Han Shu, who was cutting it with every knife, and refused to give it to him.

Ju Nian was about to give up fighting the steak, and the more anxious he was, the more mistakes he made. At the last moment, the fork slipped on the plate, and his elbow followed, bumping into Han Shu's arm on the left.It was just a small movement, but even if she didn't raise her head, she knew that the four people present all stopped their movements immediately.

Tang Ye immediately picked up the wine glass, and said loudly: "I almost forgot, we should at least have a drink, for Christmas Eve, and for the four of us to sit here together."

Ju Nian hesitated for a moment, and then raised her wine glass. She promised Tang Ye that she would not make things difficult for Tang Ye.

Cai Jian had mixed feelings in his heart, but he still smiled at Tang Ye, "Ah Ye, although I am not your real mother, I still hope you have a good life." After speaking, she also picked up the cup and waited quietly for the executive Holding the spoon still on Han Shu, she secretly tugged on Han Shu's sleeve.

Han Shu immediately put down his tableware, but he didn't reach for the cup, but directly reached for Ju Nian's chest.Ju Nian was shocked, gasped and stepped back, not knowing what he was going to do.Tang Ye also quickly put down his cup.

No one expected that Han Shu's hand would land on the tableware in front of Ju Nian, and he could not help but bring her plate to him, and in front of the other three shocked faces, he picked up the knife in his hand expressionlessly Cut the T-row that belongs to the year of orange piece by piece.

Ju Nian was so frightened that he forgot his next reaction. Tang Ye and Cai Jian were also in a daze. No one said anything or stopped him for a while, and let Han Shu neatly cut up the disturbing steak. Fragmented.

When the bone lying in the middle of the meat was perfectly removed from the meat, Han Shu seemed to be relieved for the first time tonight, and then "returned the plate to Zhao" as if nothing had happened.

Ju Nian was already stunned, how could he set down the tableware to get food.The ignorant waiter hurried to the table at this moment, took out a rose from the rattan basket in his hand, and handed it to Han Shu, "Sir, this is a free gift from our store tonight. You can get a French pink rose for your beloved girlfriend."

We can't blame the waiter for being abrupt. On the way, he happened to see Han Shu handing the plate in front of him back to Ju Nian. The meat on the plate was cut into many small pieces. Although it did not conform to Western etiquette, this kind of thing , People who are not close will definitely not do it.

Tang Ye coughed, apparently helpless at the waiter's mistake.The waiter's hand was between Ju Nian and Han Shu, Ju Nian reached out to wipe the thin sweat on his forehead, and he stammered, "No...not...I..."

Han Shu bowed his head for a moment, then raised his face, reaching out to pick up the rose.He held his hand too tightly, and the thorns on the flower stem that had not been completely removed unexpectedly stuck into his hand. He hissed, Ju Nian also trembled, and saw blood beads emerge from under the skin of his fingers come out.

The waiter apologized bewilderedly.Tang Ye stood up suddenly, and politely said to those present, "Sorry, I think I'm going to wash my hands."

He put down the napkin and walked towards the bathroom, Ju Nian's eyes followed the direction he left.Should she go with him?But what did she do when he went to the men's bathroom?
Well, now there are only three old acquaintances left, Han Shu looked at his wound and said nothing, Cai Jian wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, and sat upright.

"Ju Nian, shall we open the skylight and speak honestly? I'm sorry, it's all my fault and nothing to do with them, you can come after me. In my memory, you are a kind girl, now you want to Whatever you want, just say it straight, there is no need to hurt innocent people."

Cai Jian's voice is still kind and gentle, like a caring elder, it's not like Ju Nian has never seen it before, but she has already determined that this kindness is not for her.When others spoke up, she felt more at ease.Ju Nian said with a smile: "I'm not a kind girl. Prosecutor Cai forgets too much, how can a kind person spend a few years in prison?"

Ju Nian's words were soft and not aggressive, but Cai Jian felt as if he had been slapped on the face. Those strategies and warm veils became meaningless.She is good at ideological work, and she speaks the most seamless principles, but in front of Xie Ju Nian, those principles become more and more hypocritical.She sighed, "You have never been a mother, but I hope you understand the heart of a mother. It was not my intention to hurt you. Tell me, what can I do to make it up to you?"

As expected of godmother and godson.Ju Nian thought, how similar their tone is, tell me, how can I compensate you?As if they were gods who could give anything.If she said that I don't want anything, as long as you stay away from me, will anyone believe it?

The tassel of the napkin was tightly wrapped around the fingertips again by Ju Nian. She spoke very slowly, so that every word of a person who is not good at words could be followed closely behind her thoughts.

"Prosecutor Cai said that he would give me compensation, that is to admit that he owed me. What do you owe me? Money, no. Fair? How is it possible? I often read newspapers when I was in prison, and the top ten laws in the province The deeds of the workers have also been read..."

Cai Jian heard these words as a naked attack, her patience finally reached its limit, she stood up abruptly, and said hastily, "What do you want?"

"What does Cai Jian think will happen to me?"

"Stay away from them!"

Ju Nian laughed dumbly, "It depends on whether they are willing or not."

"you……"

Tang Ye turned back from the bathroom, and Cai Jian stopped what he was saying.Tang Ye returned to his seat and saw three people with different expressions, as well as the chair tilted to one side behind his stepmother.

"Auntie, what's the matter?" He took a long breath and asked.

Cai Jian looked at Ju Nian's indifferent expression, and simply put the words aside, "Ah Ye, although I hope you will have a family soon, but you should pay more attention when looking at people, do you know who she is? What background does she have? What purpose does she have for approaching you, have you ever thought about it? You are too honest, you don't even know if you are betrayed!"

"Then tell me, what kind of person is she?"

Cai Jian sneered, "You're like a robber..."

"Godmother!" Han Shu, who had been silent all this time, interrupted sharply.Even he didn't expect that the godmother would say that.However, the original intention of the godmother was to protect him and Tang Ye.How much evil is derived from some sense of good?
Tang Ye wiped his hands with a paper towel, then put it down, he looked at the table, "It's really a good dish, but I don't think we can eat it anymore. In this case..." He beckoned and called the waiter.

The waiter came quickly, Cai Jian propped his hands on the table, propping up his body, heartbroken, "I am doing it for your own good, what is she worthy of you doing like this, you are all like this, what the hell is going on?"

Ju Nian has been sitting there quietly ever since he heard the word "robber" that Cai Jian had no time to finish. If there was a smile on his mouth, it was also desolate and mocking.She is so familiar with these three words, maybe they will follow her for the rest of her life.

Tang Ye quickly took out a few banknotes from his wallet and stuffed them into the hands of the waiter, "Don't look for it." After finishing speaking, he took Ju Nian with one hand, "Auntie, I know you are kind to me, but don't be like this, okay?" ? Ju Nian and I should go first, if you still have appetite, please take it slowly."

Ju Nian didn't expect Tang Ye to react like this, and he obediently let him pull her away from the table. As soon as he was about to leave, Han Shu, who had been sitting coldly by the side, clamped her arm on the other side.

"Don't go! Don't go..." If the first sentence is desperate and arrogant, then the second sentence is nothing but pleading.

Both of them held their hands tightly, Ju Nian thought absurdly of Mrs. Xianglin who was sawn in half after death, she didn't earn money, see if they could tear her in half?

"I think that even if you want to keep her, you still owe a 'please'." Tang Ye said to Han Shu.

Han Shu looked at Tang Ye indifferently, and refused to let go of his hands. Instead, he slowly opened Tang Ye's hands that were left on Ju Nian one by one, speaking sincerely.

"Don't say it's a 'please' word, even if I kneel down and beg her, it's okay. But this is between me and her, it has nothing to do with you, really."
