Su Bai had been to City before. He had heard a little about MingXuan, the top luxury western restaurant in City row. But for Master Su, who had settled in Europe all the year round in his previous life, it would have been good to eat authentic Chinese food in a Chinese restaurant once in a while. Ye Ziwu was an aristocratic child who grew up abroad after all and naturally chose the place he liked for dinner. Compared to Chinese food, French cuisine is delicate and compact, which was also suitable for Master Su in weight loss.

In the evening before the night fell, City was already in full swing. A white sports car was parked downstairs in MingXuan and the neatly-dressed waiter at the gate strode forward to help pull the door open. The man in the driver's seat came out first. Visually, the brand of his clothes could not be seen but they matched the man very well. His fine, dark-brown short hair was followed by a face similar to a mixed-blood, a very handsome and n.o.ble young man.

Waiters receive many dignitaries every day, including second-generation n.o.bles who drive arrogant sports cars and wear luxurious clothes. Nevertheless, they can never help but be surprised when seeing beautiful men and women. Perhaps today was a special day. Not long ago, they received a handsome man who induced instinctive fear, and now a young aristocrat with a suns.h.i.+ne atmosphere had come.

However, when the waiters witnessed the young aristocrat with good looks and stature personally receive the man in the pa.s.senger's seat, they took great efforts to keep their indifferent smile on their faces. They thought that the young aristocrat would have appeared with a beautiful woman of ‘hot stature'. How were they to know that a plump man was there instead?

Before they had time to digest their inner surprise, a waiter carelessly raised his head to the man in white clothes and accidentally made eye contact with him. The sweeping eyes of indifference made the waiter bow his head in a panic, and his heart trembled as if he had been rubbed ruthlessly with ice dregs.

Clearly, he seemed like a kind-looking uncle, but the look at that moment was more terrible than that of the handsome man who had a lazy air around him.

The two men who arrived were Ye Ziwu, and Su Bai, who saw the horror that was not concealed in the waiter's eyes. Su Bai sneered indifferently and stepped into MingXuan with Ye Ziwu.

As they went to the reserved seat with the waiter in advance, Su Bai handed over the menu to Ye Ziwu. Ye Ziwu accepted it, and this refres.h.i.+ng personality pleased Master Su. Su took this opportunity to examine the interior decorations of MingXuan. Although it was a French restaurant, the restaurant as a whole had a modern, simple and fas.h.i.+onable black and white style, which was unlike Su Bai's imagination. This simplistic style was well-liked nonetheless.

Su Bai knew without anyone telling, that Ye Ziwu's reserved seats were rare to get, and also knew that it was not common. The night view of City could be enjoyed by the window, where distant lights complemented the nearest sh.o.r.e. There was a vague sense of artistic conception between them. The tables and the tables next to them were far away, making it quieter and more private.

When Su Bai was looking around, Ye Ziwu had already ordered the dishes. At this point, he was quietly looking at Su Bai sitting opposite him. Su Bai was leaning back on his chair, his hands crossed in front of his chest. The warm light that scattered from the side softened the man's cheeks and gave him a gentle air. Half a month's weight loss had already begun to show results, the five facial features¹ that had been hidden between the meat could be vaguely seen. Most of Su Bai's fats were acc.u.mulated on the waist and abdomen, not so much on the face. Nowadays, it looked round and smooth, with a small double chin which gave a pandlike charm.

Ye Ziwun wanted to reach out and pinch Su's fleshy face, and he did.

Su Bai was still habitually recalling the past at that time. Suddenly, he felt a slight pain on his cheeks. When he came back to his senses, he saw Ye Ziwu looking at him with a smile on his face.

“Don't lose any more weight already Mr. Su. I think you look cute like this.”

Cute…

A nerve of Su Bai was stiffly severed. He seemed to hear the crisp sound of broken strings near his ears. The man lived for more than 40 years and has heard many adjectives such as “cruel”, “ruthless” and so on. Now, it is the first time that someone has used the word “cute” on him. Master Su could not help but laugh, with a feeling of an elder spoiling the younger generation. Was this child really the “Iron Blood” Ziwu, who made people of both black and white feel fear? Sometimes he was just too cute.

“Mr. Su, there's a man over there who's been looking at us this whole time. Is he someone you know?” Tilting his head, Ye Ziwu looked at the area behind to Su Bai's right.

Long fingers lifted the gla.s.s of wine and Su Bai took a sip. It was red wine with dried fruit flavor. He replied in a seemingly casual way, “Looks somewhat familiar, maybe some student from the university.”

Ye Ziwu blinked his eyes. Because of the inheritance of his mother's eyelashes that were long and curved, a dark shadow was cast under his eyes which gave him a deep look.

“He's coming towards us.”

… …

… …

“Mr. Su, I didn't expect you to come to MingXuan for dinner. Is this your friend?” A pair of s.h.i.+ny branded leather shoes stood steadily beside the table. From the shoes to the watch, everything on the person's body was a luxury that ordinary people could hardly afford. However, the man's slightly arrogant face looked very much like a Chihuahua in Su Bai's eyes.

Without the need to look carefully at the appearance of the visitor, as this body already had a slight pain in his heart when he heard this person's voice, it clearly showed Master Su that this man had once let Su Mo jump hopelessly into the sea to commit suicide.

Su Bai glanced casually and indifferently at the tall young man beside him. He had seen Liu Yunsheng's photos in Su Mo's computer. The alb.u.m which Su Mo once treasured was full of Liu Yunsheng, yet there was not one photo of Su Mo and Liu Yunsheng together.

Liu Yunsheng's family background was very good, and his appearance was outstanding, but compared to the young man surnamed Ye sitting opposite Su Bai, he was much inferior. The gaps between people were often more distinct with constant comparison.

“Ziwu, this is a student of my school, Liu Yunsheng.” Su Bai's leisure sitting posture made Liu Yunsheng slightly dissatisfied. After listening to Su Bai's words, the expression on his face did not turn any better. Ziwu? A really close way of addressing.

From Su Yiyang, Liu Yunsheng had known about Su Mo's suicide attempt. Playing was playing, but if human lives were lost it would not be good. Later, he heard that Su Mo had woken up. Liu Yunsheng was secretly relieved but did not expect to meet Su Mo here today, especially in this kind of situation.

The cheerful Ye Ziwu generously greeted Liu Yunsheng, and Liu Yunsheng sneered without giving respond, his eyes only staring at the Su Bai who was casually tasting wine.

Liu Yunsheng had already noticed these two people when Su Bai and Ye Ziwu came in together. Liu Yunsheng stared at Su Bai for a long time. He had taken Su Mo to a high-cla.s.s restaurant to eat before. At that time, Liu Yunsheng just wanted to see Su Mo make a fool of himself, and he found Su Mo's helpless demeanor in the high-cla.s.s restaurant to be very funny. But just now, from the beginning when he entered MingXuan, Su Bai's every move was full of indescribable elegance and fluency. They were clearly the same person, but in a trance, it brought Liu Yunsheng a foreign sense of strangeness. It stirred a place somewhere in his heart.

“Su Mo, what tricks are you playing again?” With his hands on the table, Liu Yunsheng stared at the man who had not looked at him since the start. His chest had a stuffy fire, making him suppress his voice and he snorted, “Just because I used to treat you like that, you are now putting on a look like you don't know me. That's not bad, where did you learn it? Haven't you always been frugal, you are actually sparing money to come to MingXuan now.”

“Student Liu Yunsheng, I think you must have made a mistake somewhere. If you are in a bad mood, you can go see a psychologist. Saying words Teacher can't understand, Teacher is unable to help you with any problems as well.” Su Bai did not look at Liu Yunsheng. His appet.i.te was greatly reduced with the appearance of Liu Yunsheng. It was honestly a good thing.

“Haha, Su Mo, did you drink too much seawater and have a bad head now? You've also learned to talk back. Pretending to be a teacher at this time, don't you think it's ridiculous?” Liu Yunsheng's hoa.r.s.e voice was getting closer and closer to Su Bai. Just when Su Bai was wondering whether to just hit Liu Yunsheng with a punch, Ye Ziwu at some point had stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Yunsheng's arm. A seemingly harmless action, but had let Liu Yunsheng's face instantly whiten. Liu Yunsheng opened his mouth but not a word could be spat out, and just glared at Ye Ziwu. Very quickly though, he did not even have the courage to stare.

“Excuse me, sir. I'm having dinner with Mr. Su. Please don't disturb him, okay?” Ye Ziwu stood up from his seat. His beautiful face had a gentle smile. He stood in front of Su Bai, and this position was facing Liu Yunsheng. Su Bai could not see Ye Ziwu's expression.

Although there was a smile, the hazel pupils were cold enough to give frostbites.

Liu Yunsheng felt a chill in the bottom of his heart and his arm felt like it was about to break off. He bit his teeth and but had no strength or courage to say another word. At last, when he was released by Ye Ziwu, he desperately fled in anger and helplessness even before Su Bai could take another glance.

After such a disturbance, Su Bai's red wine was finished and his appet.i.te was lost. Ye Ziwu said nothing more, pulling his head in silence. Only when Su Bai said that next time he will let Ye Ziwu make up for the meal, did Ye Ziwu began to smile and laugh again.

The two were ready to go back, and Su Bai walked a few steps before feeling Ye Ziwu suddenly staring at a place in the dining room. Su Ye looked with askance along Ye Ziwu's line of sight. In one of the darkest corners of MingXuan, a man at a table was leaning over with a sparkling cigar between his forefinger and middle finger. He was lazy, seemed handsome and dangerous, like a prowling black panther.

With a slight squint, Su took back his sight but did not have enough time to look ahead, and accidentally b.u.mped into a man that was coming in front of him.
