Black Soul Invasion

Chapter 21

Qin didn't have too many beautiful clothes, but she couldn't stand up to being tall enough, so even a slightly outdated red dress was extraordinarily dazzling on her.

"It's beautiful." Ashes praised sincerely. For a person who has fought against the apocalypse for tens of thousands of years, he cherishes all beautiful things extremely.

Qin's ears were a little feverish, she flicked her hair in a hurry, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Ashes and Qin went out side by side.

Professor X hid in the shadows in the corner with an uncle smile on his face, like a hidden big boss.

Cyclops looked at the back of his girlfriend leaving, but snorted coldly, and then knocked on the door of Yongzhen's room.

You poach my corner, and I will poach your corner too. I don't believe that this cool and handsome guy like me can't compare to a little boy who smiles all day long!
"Miss Yongzhen, I'm just about to learn Japanese, let's practice together." Cyclops said in broken Japanese, which he just learned from the translation software.

Although she doesn't like the tough attitude of the other party, the gentle Yongzhen has never been too good at rejecting people. She nodded and replied in English: "Okay, it's my honor to get Mr. Summers' help!"

Cyclops was a little surprised: "You speak English?"

Yongzhen took out the English-Japanese dictionary and said modestly: "It's just some simple sentences, you can learn it now and sell it now, I'm laughing at you."

Cyclops breathed a sigh of relief, let's just say, if someone can master English in an afternoon, then this learning ability is too scary.

"The dictionary is full of written language, which is very different from the spoken language used in daily life. Come, talk to me, I will use Japanese, you will use English, don't be afraid of making mistakes, I will accommodate you."

"Mr. Summers is really kind, so I'll take it easy."

"Well, come on."

Ashes didn't have a car, so he called a taxi, and he told the driver the name of the place, which was a restaurant.

Qin asked strangely, "Didn't you go to the movies?"

"You ate very little at noon, it's already night, I think you must be hungry."

With such a reminder, Qin felt the pangs of hunger, and her stomach grumbled in response to the occasion, which made her blush immediately.

The taxi driver praised: "Ma'am, your boyfriend is really considerate!"

"He is not……"

"Oh, isn't it?" The taxi driver smiled and said to Ashes, "Young man, you have to work harder!"

Ashes shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless gesture, the driver also wisely stopped talking, and concentrated on being a ruthless driving machine.

"Why didn't you explain clearly?" Qin asked in a low voice.

"It's too troublesome. Anyway, people don't have any malicious intentions. Or do you want to have a long talk with a person who only meets once in a lifetime?"

"Hmm..." Qin was speechless.She really asked her to explain, but she didn't know where to start.Said that he went out to eat and watch movies with the other party just to collect material?There is always a feeling of wanting to cover up, and it is inexplicably a bit bitch.

Damn it, it was this guy who got him into such an embarrassing plot!
Qin glared at Ashes.

Ashes replied with a smile: "Let's have dinner first, and then go to the movies. Don't worry, there's no time, I've already arranged everything, you just need to follow me with peace of mind!"

Hmph, typical machismo!

Qin complained in her heart, but inexplicably, she was a little relieved.

Thinking back to the time when I went out with Scott, what were I doing?
Hungry and dragged around a dozen blocks just to buy a spark plug for a motorcycle?

Or have a meal in a cheap diner and get into a fight with some drunks because of Scott's doggy temper?
Qin couldn't help but covered her face, mourning silently for her past life.

"Here we are." Ashes' voice awakened Qin from his memories, he helped Qin open the door, and the two stood in front of a not too high-end but very stylish restaurant.

"This restaurant specializes in Mediterranean-style dishes, and it is said that it is also proficient in lost ancient Greek cuisine. The more famous ones include Bacon Bacon with Garlic and Mushrooms, Red Greek Yogurt Jelly, and Greek BBQ Plates. I heard that they are all unique and delicious. Because of the They are all authentic olive oil, so you don’t have to worry about eating too much fat and getting fat, which is very suitable for ladies to enjoy. By the way, there is also red wine stewed lamb, which is said to be the official dish of ancient Greece, Pericles, Socrates And Herodotus has eaten it, we must try it today!"

As Ashes spoke, his eyes shone brightly, his anticipation was beyond words, like a child who hasn't grown up yet.

It has been a long time since Qin saw such innocent eyes.The mutant problem, the hidden dangers of the Phoenix Force, and the unspeakable relationship with her boyfriend all consumed her too much energy, making her unable to separate her mind to feel the beauty of the world.

"Have you always maintained this enthusiasm?" Jean asked.

Ashes smiled: "It's also a habit that I just started recently. You may not believe me if I tell you. I even forgot how to smile for a long time ago."

Qin was a little surprised, because in her impression, the man in front of her was always smiling. Even if Ororo was struck out of the window from the third floor by lightning, he still maintained a good temper and would not get angry.

"What were you like before?" Qin suddenly wanted to know this man.

But Ashes shook his head: "Let's not talk about the past. Come on, I've reserved a seat, let's go in."

The more she said this, the more curious Qin became.

But she quickly put her curiosity behind her, because Ashes didn't lie to her, the dishes here were really delicious.

Ashes was very funny, but sometimes he lacked common sense. He made some innocuous jokes, which just invigorated the atmosphere. Because they were paired with red wine, the two gradually opened up their conversations and became harmonious.

Qin sincerely thanked her father and the history major she didn't like very much, because of this, she and Ashes had a common topic.They talked about the origin of human beings to the longship of the Vikings, and from the Code of Hammurabi to the Pyramid of Khufu in ancient Egypt.In the end, they inevitably focused on ancient Greece because of the food.

"You said, Herodotus had mutton stewed in red wine, so why didn't he record the recipe of this delicious dish, he is the father of history." Qin was a little drunk, shaking his glass and jokingly asked.

"This is indeed a problem." Ashes shrugged: "Maybe it's because it's not rigorous enough to record a recipe in literature?"

"Hehe. It's not that complicated. It's actually because Herodotus couldn't eat mutton. He would vomit whenever he smelled mutton."

Ashes and Qin followed the prestige and saw a tall woman in a neutral suit talking.The man looked to be in his early 30s, his skin was a healthy wheat color, and his appearance had standard Mediterranean features, with sharp edges and corners, as if an ancient Greek statue chiseled with a knife had come to life, especially his eyes, which were very bright. Like an eagle soaring with wings.

Seeing the two people looking over, the woman didn't care. Instead, she raised her wine glass to salute generously, very free and easy, and very chic.

Ashes and Ashes nodded, which was regarded as a greeting, but the two parties obviously had no intention of making friends further, and only regarded this as a small episode during the meal, and left after finishing the meal on their own.

"Shall we go to the movies now?" Jean asked.

"Sitting for a long time just after eating is not good for your health. I heard that the scenery along the Hudson River is very beautiful. Can you go and see it with me?"

Qin didn't refuse, and didn't want to refuse.

On the embankment, under the street lights, she and Ashes listened to the performance of street performers, drew a self-portrait at the old painter, and then they leaned on the railing together and looked at the brightly lit city on the other side of the river, feeling the greatness of human beings, and together Sitting on a bench, savoring the stars in the sky, indulging in the dazzling beauty of nature.

This is the first time Qin knows that life is so colorful, and that illusory beauty is always everywhere.

Later, the two of them went to see a movie, but Jean didn't remember anything about what the movie was about.
