Chapter 91 Su Xiaoqiang's drunken speech
Aspasia Restaurant is located in a tree-lined road where a small river runs, which is a corner of the old town.

More than a hundred years ago, this area was mainly inhabited by foreigners with a beautiful environment and pleasant scenery. The Aspasia restaurant was renovated from an old villa of a French businessman.

Lu Mingfei had only been to this area once before, when he had a dinner date with Chen Wenwen in his previous life.

I came to Aspasia for dinner twice, once with Chen Wenwen and once with the little angel Su Xiaoqiang.

Should I invite Liu Miaomiao to come over someday? Lu Mingfei thought.

In general, you need to make a reservation to dine at this kind of high-end Michelin restaurant, but it is noon on a weekday and there are not many customers.

In addition, Su Xiaoqiang's membership card was of a very high level, so he easily picked a good seat.

The last time Lu Mingfei came here to eat, he had a hard time eating. He had to cut the lamb chops very carefully and keep his back straight. But now he can face it all with a calm attitude.

We are just here to have a meal, so of course we have to make ourselves comfortable. We are not trying to act like a big shot.

Lu Mingfei learned this only after having Western food with Ange and Caesar several times.

He discovered that the principal and his friends did not sit straight when eating, but just sat in a very natural posture and enjoyed the food leisurely... although the beef cooked to medium-rare was not that delicious.

Su Xiaoqiang was flipping through the menu that was a mixture of Italian, English, and Chinese, while glancing at Lu Mingfei out of the corner of his eye.

A leisurely and contented posture.

It's really not an illusion.

Su Xiaoqiang had sensed a British aristocratic aura from Lu Mingfei many times before, but each time it was fleeting, so she was not sure.

But this time when Lu Mingfei was brought to the three-star Michelin restaurant for dinner, he not only did not show any discomfort with the environment, but he seemed quite at ease. Even though he was wearing a school uniform, his sitting posture blended in with the environment.

There was a casual and relaxed expression on his face, as if he was not eating at a Michelin restaurant but in a school cafeteria.

This guy can obviously act quite elegantly, so why does he always act like a jerk?

"Are you used to eating cheese and fish?" Su Xiaoqiang covered his face with the menu, and his two eyes were exposed from under his bangs as he looked at Lu Mingfei.

"It will be all right."

Su Xiaoqiang closed the menu and told the waiter next to him a few dishes in Chinese. The waiter handed them a hot towel with a scent for wiping their hands and left with the menu in his hand.

For a moment, the two were silent, with only the melodious violin music flowing between them.

"Isn't this your first time in Aspasia?" Su Xiaoqiang probed.

"Why do you ask?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Look at your expression."

After Su Xiaoqiang applied a hot towel to his hands, he dipped his fingertips in a little water and used the water to gently draw circles on the glass table, his nails tapping on the tabletop with a crisp "ding-dong" sound.

"The decoration here is quite unique, and the scenery outside the window is also great. People who come here for the first time to eat usually can't help but look around a few times. But if you don't even look at me, it means you are very familiar with the environment here, at least it is definitely not your first time here."

"You have such a sharp eye. It would be a shame if you didn't become a detective." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but say.

"Come on, I've been eating business banquets since I was a child, can't you be a little less shrewd?"

Su Xiaoqiang raised his eyebrows proudly.

Soon, waiters in tuxedos came over with silver-gray plates and served the dishes one by one. Foie gras, white truffle stew, lobster and caviar were served one after another.

The dark red first growth Margaux red wine splashed into the transparent goblets and was placed on the right sides of Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang respectively.

The two of them first tasted the dishes on their respective plates, then clinked their glasses lightly. They didn't know how many glasses of red wine went into their stomachs, but Su Xiaoqiang's face slowly showed an alluring drunken red color.

"Let's get back to the point. You just kept asking me about my criteria for choosing a partner. Why?"

Su Xiaoqiang cut a piece of goose liver and put it into his mouth to chew it carefully, and asked with a slightly drunken look.

Lu Mingfei didn't expect the little goddess to bring the topic back. To be honest, he didn't know why he asked the little goddess about her criteria for choosing a partner.

Chatting is like this, the content will always develop in a direction you can't imagine, as if the topic itself should go in this direction.

"Why do you think that is?".

Su Xiaoqiang stuck out his tongue, put his hands holding the knife and fork on the table, and frowned, "You don't like me, do you?"

This kind of question has different standard answers in different situations. In some cases, it must be answered in the affirmative, and sometimes in the negative.

Of course, it was impossible to be sure in this situation, but Lu Mingfei did not intend to deny it. He chose to throw the question back to Su Xiaoqiang.

"What if I like you?" Lu Mingfei, who had also drunk several glasses of red wine, gradually began to speak boldly.

"Then I have to stay away from you." Su Xiaoqiang sneered at him, "You are eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, you scumbag!"

However, Su Xiaoqiang actually knew that what Lu Mingfei said were just jokes. In the process of interacting with Lu Mingfei, she actually felt more of a "brother" attitude.

Naturally, she didn't actually have that kind of thought towards Lu Mingfei.

Brothers are friends who eat, drink and eat together, and they don’t care about or can be said to not care about each other’s gender. If gender is divided, then the brotherhood will change.

"Why is he a scumbag? Can I still be single?"

"Yes, yes, you are still single."

Su Xiaoqiang picked up the goblet, took a sip of the red wine, and then raised the goblet in front of his eyes.

"Even if you're still single, you can't meet my requirements for a partner."

“That’s hard to say.” Lu Mingfei shrugged. “Don’t you know that boys tend to mature later in life? Maybe after I enter high school, my Ren and Du meridians will be opened up, and my high school grades will suddenly surpass yours.”

"just you?"

Su Xiaoqiang looked through the rippling red wine at Lu Mingfei who was sitting opposite him. Suddenly, his head got hot and he blurted out under the influence of drunkenness:
"If you can get better scores than me in the entrance exam, let alone pursue me, I will be your lover without any problem."

It’s not that she really wants to be Lu Mingfei’s lover or anything, but Su Xiaoqiang has enough confidence in his own achievements.

Plus, she also wanted to suppress Lu Mingfei's arrogance, and she felt a little dizzy after drinking, so she said these shocking words.

However, although Su Xiaoqiang said with disdain, he actually felt a little scared in his heart.

At the same time, I also felt a little regretful. Why did I suddenly say such a bold word?

What she originally wanted to say was "If I can surpass her in high school grades", but seeing Lu Mingfei's confident look, she suddenly panicked, so she changed the condition temporarily when the words were on the tip of her tongue.

Even if Lu Mingfei opened up his Ren and Du meridians, it would be impossible for him to surpass his own results in just two or three months, right?
You know, I was admitted to Shilan Middle School with the top three scores in the school, while Lu Mingfei just got in with the passing score. The difference between the two is more than 100 points.

And as far as she knew, Lu Mingfei didn't attend any cram school during the summer vacation and played at home all day. He would definitely not score higher than her in the entrance examination!
Yeah, sure!

The little angel repeated it in her mind again, not knowing whether she was feeling confident or guilty.

Lu Mingfei was also frightened by the earth-shattering words said by the little goddess, and he almost dropped the knife and fork in his hand.

I got drunk after just a few glasses of wine. The alcohol content of Margaux is not that high...

Although he felt that the words just now must be a joke from the little goddess, the joke was a bit too intense to this extent.

He looked up and his eyes met Su Xiaoqiang's. After a second, it was Su Xiaoqiang who looked away first, somewhat embarrassedly.

For a while, neither of them spoke first, and there was no sound of wine glasses clinking, only the clang of knives and forks hitting plates. The atmosphere of the meal was already a little off, and Su Xiaoqiang wanted to end the meal as soon as possible.

Lu Mingfei is better. After all, he has been reborn twice and is not as ashamed and embarrassed as Su Xiaoqiang.

But seeing Su Xiaoqiang eating so hurriedly, he cooperated and speeded up.

……

After the meal, when it was time to pay the bill, Lu Mingfei wanted to pay, but Su Xiaoqiang waved her hand and said without turning her head that there was no need to spend such money as her father had a lot of money on the membership card that had not been used up.

As a result, Lu Mingfei, who originally wanted to treat the little angel to a meal to repay a favor, now owed her even more.

However, after leaving the restaurant, the two were able to talk to each other. It seemed that after a period of calm, both of them had forgotten the shocking remarks made by the little goddess.

There was still a lot of time in the afternoon, and Su Xiaoqiang's original plan was to play a few games of StarCraft at Xinyu Internet Cafe, where the two had first met, after dinner with Lu Mingfei.

To be honest, she didn't really want to go back to that home.

But just now, Su Xiaoqiang had too much wine in his head and he couldn't control his drunkenness and said those words, which made her feel a little afraid to be alone with Lu Mingfei.

Mainly because of what he just said, Su Xiaoqiang felt guilty for betraying Liu Miaomiao.

After careful consideration, the little angel pursed her lips and made a decision in her heart.

"Then I'll go back first!"

Su Xiaoqiang stood by the roadside, then turned around and looked at Lu Mingfei.

"it is good."

Su Xiaoqiang called his family's driver on the roadside, and Lu Mingfei waited silently beside him until Su Xiaoqiang's car appeared at the end of the road. Then Lu Mingfei waved to Su Xiaoqiang.

"See you tomorrow."

"Ah."

The black Audi A6 stopped accurately beside Su Xiaoqiang. Su Xiaoqiang got into the back seat of the car, and Lu Mingfei's back gradually walked away on the sidewalk.

But after the car started, his figure suddenly approached again.

For a moment, the sunlight shone on Lu Mingfei's body and into the cabin of the Audi A6, and the two of them briefly crossed paths.

However, after a moment of intersection, the two figures moved away from each other again.

……

The car drove into the basement. Su Xiaoqiang pushed the door open from the back seat, got out, picked up his schoolbag, and took the indoor elevator back to the villa.

The elevator stopped on the second floor. When I walked out of the elevator, the man I didn't want to see was indeed sitting in the private living room on the second floor.

"School ends at eleven o'clock, doesn't it? Why are you back now?"

The man asked without even turning his head. He had a newspaper spread out in front of him. It was unclear whether he was really reading it or just treating it as a decoration.

"I went to have dinner with my classmates."

The two puppies at home ran over excitedly to welcome the return of their little master. Su Xiaoqiang squatted down and teased the dogs, then crossed the living room to return to his room without looking at the man.

"Male or female? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Su Xiaoqiang stood there helplessly, feeling annoyed and depressed. "He's my boyfriend, okay? Why should I report to you when I'm having dinner with my boyfriend?"

"you!"

The man's tone was angry, but soon softened.

"Qiang Qiang, I know you are angry with me, but you have to know that everything I do is definitely for your own good. It's okay for you to go out for a meal with your friends, but next time remember to inform your family in advance and don't let them worry."

Su Xiaoqiang snorted coldly.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Mr. Liu has asked me to play golf this afternoon. Xiaowei is going too. Qiangqiang, if you have nothing to do, come with me this afternoon. Young people, don't always lock yourself up at home. It's always good to communicate more with people of your age."

"No, I don't know how to play golf, so why would I go? Be your caddy?"

Su Xiaoqiang returned to his room, slammed the door shut, leaned against the door holding his schoolbag, and slowly slid down to the floor.

There was silence outside the door for a long time, and then footsteps were heard.

Su Xiaoqiang's heart tightened, but the footsteps did not approach him, but slowly moved away until they could no longer be heard.

Su Xiaoqiang let go of the schoolbag in his arms and lowered his head, not knowing whether he was happy or disappointed.

……

When did the relationship with my dad become so bad?
When I was 10 years old, my mother passed away, and I went back to Portugal alone with my mother's ashes to give them to my aunt for burial, but my father didn't go back to take a look?

Or was it that in the past two years, he took me to various high-end business dinners and tried every possible way to get me acquainted with all kinds of celebrities and young people?

Maybe both?
Or will children eventually become alienated from their parents as they grow up?

Su Xiaoqiang fell on the bed with a plop, picked up the "101 Loyal Dog" and held it high in front of him, letting his long black hair fall on the bed.

"Talk about love..."

The more my father wanted to introduce me to various powerful and wealthy sons, the more I wanted to have a relationship in which I could decide for myself.

Even if you don't like it, it's your own choice.

How many boys meet the condition of being “better than myself”?

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei's face involuntarily appeared in the little angel's mind again.

In fact, after tidying up his appearance a bit, this guy is quite handsome, one of those refreshing handsome guys, and he hasn't dressed up very seriously yet.

If you take care of it yourself, it will definitely be more outstanding.

As for temperament, as long as he could control his carefree attitude, he would be much more mature and charming than his peers.

I don't know what his physical fitness is like, but he is quite tall.

If his academic performance can really surpass mine, then he would be a good partner choice?
Su Xiaoqiang was suddenly stunned, then her pretty face turned red. She turned over, covered her head with the pillow, swung her long legs, and kicked her jade feet wildly behind her.

Ahhh! What on earth am I thinking about?

How could that guy be possible!
Even if I were in love with a dog, I would never be in love with him, never!
It turns out that you should drink less alcohol in normal times, because it’s easy to get drunk once you drink!
But just in case...

She remembered the promise she made to Lu Mingfei in the restaurant and thought about the entrance examination that would come after the military training.

Ahhh! So annoying!

Su Xiaoqiang jumped off the bed, then took out the junior high school textbook that he hadn't touched for two months, bit his lip, and buried his head in studying seriously.
