evil sea tide

Jing Kanglai felt that he had accomplished a great deed today. Looking at his favorite student and the gentle and refined Hai Donglin, he felt very comfortable.

After the matter was settled, the few people sat down and chatted for a while. When it was approaching lunch time, Jing Kanglai and Chao Sheng got up to say goodbye. Lin Qianzhi wanted to keep the two of them for dinner, but they felt that today's matter had already taken advantage of them. It's not good to be cheeky and stay Cengfan.

"I happened to pass Chaosheng's house on the way, Professor Jing, let me see him off."

Chao Sheng was supposed to go back in the teacher's car, but before leaving the house, he heard Hai Donglin say this. The tutor who just wanted to reject him had already answered for him: "That would be great, or I have to abduct him." It’s a big circle, Mr. Hai, thank you so much. Chao Sheng, then go with Mr. Hai, you two young people have a good chat.”

Chao Sheng's eyelids twitched twice, and suddenly he had the illusion of being sold into a landlord's house by his alcoholic father to pay off his debts.

"Professor Jiang, please."

After Professor Jing left, Hai Donglin stood in front of the car and made a gesture of invitation.Hearing his name, Chao Sheng knew that this man was making fun of that clumsy lie by the river, so he was at peace with it, now that the truth was revealed, he had nothing to fear, so he said calmly: "Then trouble." Mr. Hai."

As soon as he sat in the passenger seat, Hai Donglin sat in the driver's seat. He didn't bring a driver with him today, and he drove here by himself when he came to see his uncle.

Chao Sheng stared straight ahead, waiting for the owner of the car to start, but suddenly felt the breath of a man coming towards him.He was surprised to see Hai Donglin's face getting closer and closer, the tip of his tall nose was almost touching his neck!

What does this bastard want to do!

Chao Sheng was frightened and wanted to push him away, but the opponent's hand suddenly bypassed him and pulled out the seat belt on the upper right side of his head, and then helped him fix it.

"You don't wear your seat belt, do you want me to get a ticket?"

Chao Sheng was tricked by him again, and said angrily: "Just say it."

The air in the car was a bit turbid, and Chao Sheng pulled down the window slightly to let the cold wind pour in through the gap.He was a little embarrassed, facing this man alone made him feel more stressed.

Fortunately, Hai Donglin didn't bother to tease him, but just concentrated on driving the car. After a while, Chao Sheng's thoughts began to diverge. He remembered the scene at Lin's house today, and felt as if he had been punched in the heart. Feel stuffy.

In the face of the cruel reality, he is too small and fragile, and it is difficult to even keep a little bit of faith in his heart, so what kind of backbone and self-esteem can he talk about?

He thought of Professor Jing again. It was ridiculous that at that time he was still complacent and felt that he was favored by the school because of his excellent grades, but he didn't know how much effort Professor Jing had put in to keep him. He owed too much to his teacher. Now add another one.

He looked at the side face of Hai Donglin with a focused expression, and thought of how reckless and self-willed this man was under the disguise of kindness and gentleness, a question gradually arose in his heart, is it only such a prominent and powerful person who can completely follow his own way? the will to live?

Sensing his gaze, Hai Donglin glanced at him sideways, and Chao Sheng realized that his gaze was too presumptuous and bold, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and sat in the car.

What a person who can't hide things...

Seeing his hands clenched into fists on his lap, his face seemingly plain but slightly disappointed, Hai Donglin could probably guess what he was thinking.

Looking at the unfamiliar street in front of him, Chao Sheng suddenly found a problem: "This is not the way back to my house!"

"Let's go eat first, and then take you home."

It's not an invitation or an inquiry, and even this notification is long overdue.Maybe even Hai Donglin himself didn't realize it, even though he pretended to be handsome, his strength existed in these small details, which invisibly opened the distance between him and others.

He brought Chao Sheng to a very inconspicuous restaurant, Chao Sheng even suspected that this place without a house number was a restaurant?

But after entering the inside, I found that there is a strange hole in the sky. Inside are pavilions and waterside pavilions with a compact layout, and after walking through the winding path to the inside, there are several small living rooms that are not spacious.

Chaosheng had never been to such a place, it was more like a scenic spot than a place to eat.

"Mr. Hai, you are here, is it still the original Canglang Pavilion?"

A woman in a cheongsam stepped forward and asked, it was obvious that Hai Donglin was a frequent visitor here.

Followed her into the "Canglang Pavilion", which turned out to be the innermost room in the row of small living rooms.The living room is not big, and in the middle is a delicately carved Eight Immortals table. There are many calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which are very similar to the ancient interior settings that Chao Sheng has seen in TV dramas.

Seeing his curious look, Hai Donglin explained to him, "This is a private restaurant, and generally does not entertain outsiders."

No wonder, but this so-called private restaurant is too high-end, like the courtyard of an ancient rich family.

After a while, the waiter brought a pot of tea and several dishes of melons and fruits, and Hai Donglin gave her the names of several dishes, all of which Chao Sheng had never heard of.

"What is Wangyu Tingchao? What is Xiaohuagu?"

No wonder he was curious, these really didn't sound like dish names.Chaosheng himself knows how to cook, so he is naturally curious about these things.

"You'll know in a while."

After the dishes were served, Chao Sheng realized that Wangyu Tingchao was made of a small octopus called "Wangchao", which got its name because it grew on the beach and was washed by waves all year round.The small flower drums are decorated with colorful ingredients on the minced chicken stuffed mushrooms, making it look like small flower drums neatly arranged on the plate.And other dish names generally follow this route.

"This is definitely a coincidence." Chao Sheng commented, but when he took the dish into his mouth, his eyes immediately opened slightly, showing a gleam of surprise.

"good to eat?"

With food stuffed in his mouth, Chao Sheng nodded sharply at him.

Seeing that he is eating happily, Hai Donglin's appetite has improved a lot. He is not particular about food, but every time he eats with this person, whether it is a simple and rough barbecue stall or exquisite and delicious private dishes, he can make him Feel your index finger move.

"I heard that you are good at medicinal food?"

Swallowing the smooth fish in his mouth, Chao Sheng waved his hand embarrassedly and said, "It's just that my family loves to eat it, so I learned to make some, and it won't be on the table."

"You are my health consultant now, I wonder if I have the honor to taste your dishes?"

This seems to be two different things, right?Chao Sheng retorted in his heart, but since he has won the title, he will not take the benefits of others in vain, "Mr. Hai, don't worry, I will pay close attention to your health problems, and tell me in time if you feel unwell .”

His tone was extremely formulaic, and Hai Donglin didn't continue the topic just now. The two enjoyed a series of ingenious delicacies. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than before. Chao Sheng also let go of his restraint and concentrated on tasting delicious food. There are a lot of things he can learn from the cooking methods of the private restaurant. If there is a chance, he really wants to come here often, because he is afraid that he will not be able to pay for the meals.

Hai Donglin's upbringing is excellent, his food is like a little water, his mouth is soft and silent, eating with him, Chao Sheng's popularity will unconsciously become a lot more disciplined, if other men eat so politely in front of him , he would definitely scold him as a "sissy", but Hai Donglin's behavior only made him feel natural, and every move was elegant and noble.

The proof of this bloodline is really different... He suddenly remembered Hai Donglin's life experience again.

As Hai Donglin said before, he sent Chaosheng home after eating, and parked his car at the back door of "Jiang's Traditional Chinese Medicine Massage". This is the back door of this short building. Few pass by.

"Thank you Mr. Hai, by the way, your handkerchief is in my dormitory, I can only return it to you next time."

As he spoke, he planned to open the door and get out of the car, but at this moment Hai Donglin pressed his hand that was about to open the door and said, "There is one more thing."

"Huh? Tell me." Chao Sheng withdrew his hand and looked at him suspiciously.

"The Lin family will have a year-end dinner next month. It's a thank-you party. The guests are all colleagues in the industry, and many experts and scholars in this field will also be present."

so what?Chao Sheng blinked.

"I would like to invite you to participate."

Chao Sheng never expected that his employment relationship with Hai Donglin would be exposed to everyone's attention so soon, because the good mood brought by the food suddenly faded, Chao Sheng lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice: "good."

It's not that he's hypocritical, it's that he has a repulsive attitude towards this kind of thigh-hugging, but since he has accepted the professor's kindness and Hai Donglin's care, it would be too unflattering to be coy now.But showing up as a private consultant in that kind of public place is tantamount to tearing off the fig leaf and telling everyone, "Yes, I am a rich man on the list." Maybe some people will show off arrogantly, but Chaosheng will only feel ashamed .

"Do you think that being my personal health consultant is tantamount to going through the back door? Do you feel that your noble morality as a scholar has been insulted?"

Unexpectedly, the other party said what was in his heart directly, Chao Sheng was very surprised, he had never seen such a stern expression on this person, his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart.

He felt as if he had been stripped of his cover and exposed to the sun, and all his timidity and darkness were gone.

His face was so red that he was about to bleed, he clenched his hands tightly, his nails turned white, at this moment, he really hated the man in front of him who was always on top, why couldn't he leave him with the last bit of dignity!
