Rebel Demon King

Chapter 67 Beauty and the Beast
I would rather be a wild flower under the fence than a favored rose.It is better to be despised by everyone than to flatter and flatter and steal the favor of others. --Shakespeare, "Nothing to Worry About"

-------------------

Cheng Mo stopped in front of the dining table covered with white lace tablecloth, and the waiter who stood in the enclosed rectangle quickly handed him a plate and a fork.

Cheng Mo took the tableware from the waiter in the shirt and vest, thanked him, and began to linger among the dazzling fruits, vegetables and cold dishes of various colors.

At this moment, almost everyone is admiring their own talent show on the edge of the lawn. Only Cheng Mo is standing in front of the long white dining table, so he is particularly eye-catching, but fortunately everyone is watching the performance and no one is paying attention. this direction.

If it was another person, he would definitely not do this. After all, it would be rude to be seen and a little embarrassing, but for Cheng Mo, he never cared about any eyes. This was a relaxing time.

However, Xie Minyun, the initiator who brought him here, did not let him wander happily at the dining table alone.

When Xie Minyun walked into the crowd from the piano, she saw Cheng Mo standing beside the laurel tree. She had been looking for the thin figure she used as an excuse just now, but she never found it. Now that she saw him, she naturally wanted to step forward. Explore why he agreed to Du Leng's invitation, and why his grandfather treated this child differently.

In Xie Minyun's senses, someone like Cheng Mo should be a conceited and proud ghost, how could he agree to Du Leng's invitation?
Xie Minyun didn't care that Du Leng was playing the violin at the moment. In Du Leng's sight, he quietly walked to the edge of the crowd and walked to the dining table in the middle of the lawn. At this time, Tongtong with tousled hair was also gnashing his teeth. Cheng Mo walked away.

As a result, the roulette of fate began to turn silently, and each protagonist threw an unpredictable future towards God.

But at this moment, in anyone's eyes, this is just a trivial matter, not even as important as a steak on the table or a cocktail on the bar.

As everyone knows, our life is a patchwork of these scattered fragments.

It's just that mortals always ignore the subtle details that are difficult to detect, thinking that this is the so-called fate.

Xie Minyun approached the dining table and took the white porcelain plate and silver cutlery from the waiter. Her fair arms shone as brightly as the cutlery in the sun, and out of the corner of Xie Minyun's eyes, she could see Cheng Mo's plate. With green papaya, avocado, a bit of German-style tuna salad, and a piece of Iberian ham in the collection, she said lightly without turning her head: "The fruit is Serrano ham and Italian prosciutto, I've never seen it before. Someone paired it with Iberian ham like that."

Cheng Mo had already remembered Xie Minyun's recognizable voice through the song "Beauty and the Beast" just now, so he didn't go to see Xie Minyun, he just said "oh" and said, "Thank you for your advice, but you care. It’s the taste, what I care about is balance, saturated fatty acids will greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease”

"As you please!" Xie Minyun didn't think that a small piece of ham could cause much damage to the body, she thought it was just Cheng Mo's forcible defense.

Of course, although Cheng Mo actually guessed that Iberian ham was on the plate, he didn't really know how to eat this expensive thing, just considering that no matter how expensive and delicious, this pickled fat would I can't eat too much, but since everyone is here, I still have to try the legendary Iberian ham. After all, he is reluctant to buy a whole collection-grade Iberian ham for 1500 to 2000 euros, so He asked the waiter to cut a small slice and paired himself with fruit that neutralized saturated fatty acids.

Xie Minyun straightened her body, raised the plate, gestured to the waiter, picked up the wooden clip for convenience, put several pieces of salmon on her plate, and said in a plain tone, "I guessed you wouldn't. come."

Cheng Mo also responded in a plain tone, "Why don't you come if you have something to eat, drink and take. I'm neither stupid nor high-level."

Xie Minyun raised his eyebrows, "Really? Then you should thank me."

Cheng Mo said nonchalantly: "I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't think I could have earned 1 yuan so easily."

Xie Minyun frowned, "1 yuan? What do you mean?"

Cheng Mo pretended to be surprised and showed a little pride and said, "Oh? You don't know? Didn't Senior Du Leng tell you? In order to invite me to come, he not only went to our class Sangu thatched cottage in person, but also promised to give me as long as I came. 1 yuan. It’s still cash.”

As a supporting role, you must have the awareness to set off the protagonist. As a complement, you must start the expensive lunch in your hand.

Cheng Mo is very clear about his role.

Xie Minyun never thought that Cheng Mo came here for this reason. It's not that she can't understand that 1 yuan is a huge sum for ordinary students, but it's completely different from Cheng Mo in her imagination. In her mind, Cheng Mo should be a talented person like Cheng Yongze who is rich in learning, knowledgeable in the world, and does not eat the fireworks of the world. He is definitely not someone who would bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

The reason why Xie Minyun became interested in Cheng Mo was that Cheng Mo was highly praised by her grandfather, and in her heart, her grandfather Wang Shanhai was the person she respected the most; .

However, the person in front of her seemed to be completely different from what she had imagined, making her feel that Cheng Mo was not worthy of the attention of her grandfather who was above the top, nor was he worthy of being the son of the tiger father, Yong Ze.

Xie Minyun said in his heart: It is too early to draw a conclusion at this moment, so we need to test it out. Xie Minyun was about to speak, when a clear and oriole-like voice rang out and said, "Senior Sister Minyun, long time no see"

Xie Minyun looked up and saw a girl with fluffy hair and black-rimmed glasses standing on the other side of Cheng Mo. After a closer look, she couldn't remember who the other party was, so she could only say in doubt, "You are you?"

Tong Tong smiled sweetly, blinked at Xie Minyun and said, "I'm Yan Yitong"

Xie Minyun was stunned when he heard the name, recalled carefully, and then asked in surprise, "Are you Yan Funing's younger sister?"

Tongtong smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

The Xie family and the Yan family are not friends in the world, but the relationship is still good, but the Yan Yitong in her memory is not so ordinary and escaped. The last time she remembered seeing Yan Yitong was a quiet, well-behaved and delicate little girl. Expecting to grow up but not as good-looking as when she was a child, she smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see, I remember seeing you and your brother at Mrs. Yan's house in Beijing when I was in junior high school, how are you? "

"It's not the same as it is. I am a graduate student at Imperial College."

Cheng Mo saw that the two were greeting each other across him, and he took the opportunity to turn around and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. He didn't expect any Tongtong who didn't even know him, so he pulled his arm and said happily, "Senior Sister Minyun also knows him. This kid? He was so engrossed in hearing you sing just now."

Cheng Mo was frail since childhood, and he had a fork and a plate in his hands, so he didn't dare to break away from Yan Yitong's claws, so he could only frown and turn his head to look at Yan Yitong and said, "I don't know you, why are you holding me?"

Yan Yitong pretended to be cute and said coquettishly: "But I know you! How can you be so stingy, you have no gentleman's demeanor at all."

Xie Minyun also turned her attention to Cheng Mo. She never imagined that Cheng Mo would have an intersection with Yan Funing's sister Yan Yitong. As for what Yan Yitong said just now that Chengmo was devoted to singing, she did not take it to heart. There is a problem with appreciating taste.

Cheng Mo's understanding of women is still one-sided and superficial, learning from the disgusting madness in TV dramas and novels: "What is a gentleman? What is a villain? Virtue greater than talent is a gentleman, and talent greater than virtue is a villain. I am talented, and my virtues are far from matching my talents. Naturally, I can only be a villain. Is there a problem?"

It's a pity that Cheng Mo knows everything, but he doesn't understand women's minds. When a man exaggerates, he will naturally be hated by women. When this man tells the truth, his arrogance is admirable and arrogant. .

Hearing Cheng Mo's words, Yan Yitong also pretended to laugh contemptuously: "Yo! "Zizhitongjian" has come out! Since you are so embarrassed to say that you are talented, how about I test you?"

Cheng Mo turned his head away, "boring."

At this time, Yan Yitong caught sight of Du Leng and Cheng Xiao coming over, and raised his voice slightly: "You see that you have no talent show, so wouldn't it be better to give you a chance to show your sweetheart?"

Cheng Mo looked down at Yan Yitong and pulled his arm tightly with one hand, obviously he didn't intend to let him go so easily, he didn't know when he offended this devilish girl, but he really didn't know how It was the first time in his 16 years of life to deal with the entanglement of women. As for the experience provided by the carrier state, it was not applicable at this moment, because in the carrier state, as long as he looked at those women, those women would die. Then he would be so shameless and chattering on him, seeing that Du Leng and Cheng Xiao had also come over, so Cheng Mo had no choice but to ask, "Should I let go after the answer?"

Yan Yitong smiled slyly and said, "Let go after you answer it. I won't embarrass you if you can't answer it. I'm just answering a question until you answer it. I don't think you're so stupid that you can't answer a question, right?"

"You asked the question." From then on, another list of people who had to escape was added to Cheng Mo's list.

At this time, Du Leng, who had approached the three of them, interjected and said, "What are you talking about so happily?"

Yan Yitong showed a harmless smile and said: "Cheng Mo boasted in front of Senior Sister Minyun that he is talented and talented. ."

Du Leng glanced at Cheng Mo, but did not show an expression of concern. He was about to speak, but he heard Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun say in unison: "Don't marry him (her)"

The two heard each other's voices and stopped talking at the same time. If the unison at the beginning was a coincidence, then the simultaneous punctuation now must be said to be a tacit understanding.

Du Leng didn't take Yan Yitong's words to heart at first, but now he couldn't help looking at the baby-faced Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun standing next to him. When he saw Xie Minyun compared to Chengmo. It was a little higher, and when the two of them didn't make eye contact, they said in their hearts: I also think a little too much, it's impossible for Minyun to like this little brat.

So Du Leng smiled slightly to break the embarrassment that the two of them were no longer able to speak: "If this is the case, then give a chance, Tongtong will ask the question, and we will all participate in the rush to answer it. Anyway, I am also a little bit about answering the question. experience!"

And Cheng Xiao, who is smiling beautifully beside Du Leng, is currently looking at Yan Yitong and Cheng Mo with great interest. The two people are somewhat similar today, and they are also dressed casually. But the sharp-eyed Cheng Xiao could see at a glance that Cheng Mo was really ordinary, while Tong Tong on the side was pretending.

Cheng Xiao is curious why Tongtong must associate Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun. It seems that the two of them don't match each other. Although she is not a person who likes to judge people by their appearance, as a member of the entertainment industry, she has seen a lot Handsome guy and handsome man, he actually doesn't have any feeling about tall and handsome people, but the gap between Cheng Mo and Xie Minyun is a bit too big, the key is that they don't match.

Cheng Xiao was observing Cheng Mo and Yan Yitong. Seeing that Du Leng said that everyone participated in the rush to answer, he quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm the worst at this, don't count me, you can answer, I'll just listen."

Du Leng said with a sneer: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't count. I don't think anyone can answer the question from Tongtong. This girl is usually very tricky and really wants to deliberately embarrass people. It is estimated that the embarrassed person will vomit blood. three liters"

Yan Yitong said: "Brother Du, don't ruin your reputation. My Tongtong has always been eager for justice, well-behaved and clever. When did you become tricky?"

Du Leng bowed his hands helplessly: "Okay! I was wrong, please forgive Miss Tongtong"

Yan Yitong clenched Cheng Mo's arm and said in a weird and low voice: "Then listen carefully, I will ask the first question. One day, Mr. A suddenly received a secret letter, which said: At noon tonight, we will meet at the church in the suburbs. Mr. A went to the church from home as scheduled in the evening. When he looked up and saw the dome of the church and the crescent moon, he heard footsteps behind him. Knocked to the ground. He was found dead the next day."

Yan Yitong paused and said, "Then here comes the question! Excuse me! Did Mr. A vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the presidential election?"
