MTL - Don’t Covet the Beautiful System!!-Chapter 82
On the way to the food city, Ji Tong, who usually talks a lot, followed the host quietly, uncharacteristically.
In the hazy night with flashing neon lights, the slightly shorter boy was wandering in the sky, slowed down as he walked, and fell behind his companion.
Pei Qingyuan, who looked back at him occasionally, slowed down without showing any trace.
The completely different temperaments of the two are particularly eye-catching, and they become a unique scenery on the crowded streets at night.
However, contrary to his silence on the surface, Ji Tong, who lowered his head slightly and looked very well-behaved, was in a turbulent heart.
The chat group in the system has already been covered by his ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[Mr. Ji: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ]
[Mr. Ji: The host wears it! West! Pack! up! ! ]
[Brother Hao:? ? What’s wrong with you? ]
[Brother Hao: When you first started traveling, didn’t brother Pei wear it? You also showed us the photos. ]
[Mr. Ji: It's different! Although it is the same clothes! But it's a completely different feeling! And this time I took the initiative to wear it ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, so handsome! ! ]
[Mr. Ji: Among so many collocations, the host only chose this one on his own initiative! Does this mean that the host has preliminarily confirmed his future style! Will I be able to see such a host every day in the future! ]
[Brother Hao: How can the same clothes have different feelings? What are you talking about, why can't I understand ==|||]
[Voice: Pfft, from Mr. Ji in black shirt to Xiao Pei in suit, your xp is really stable. ]
[Mr. Ji: ⊙o⊙! what is xp ]
[Yinyin: In view of the presence of minors, simply put, it is a special preference for humans or non-humans. ]
[Brother Hao: Then my xp raises crayfish? ]
[Yinyin: ... Cough, let's change the subject. ]
[Yinyin: Xiao Tong, you have been in that world for almost a year, have you ever found that the host has a good impression of others? ]
[Yinyin: The affection close to love should be very common at this age. ]
[Mr. Ji: No, the host only wants to study. He has received many love letters, but rejected them all. In my impression, the host has never had contact with any girls other than studying. ]
It took a while for Fu Yinyin to reply.
[Yinyin: It doesn't have to be a girl, love will not be limited by gender. ]
Seeing this sentence, Ji Tong froze for a moment, and stopped involuntarily.
He pondered over this line of words, and was about to ask something more, when he remembered that the host was still beside him, so he quickly stepped up to catch up.
As a result, his forehead slammed into the host's back.
In the clear breath, Ji Tong raised his face blankly, only to find that the two of them had already walked in front of a rather magnificent building, and in front of them were several landscape elevators.
Just now I kept my head down and didn't pay attention to it. It turns out that the destination has already arrived.
Pei Qingyuan noticed something strange behind him, and when he turned around, he saw his system rubbing his forehead blankly.
He subconsciously wanted to reach out, but stopped suddenly.
At a very close distance, Pei Qingyuan asked, "Does it hurt?"
Ji Tong blinked guiltily, trying to hide his distraction just now: "It doesn't hurt."
At this time, the landscape elevator arrived at the first floor, and the elevator door opened. The salesman in the car, wearing a shirt and trousers, saw this scene, and his eyes suddenly flashed.
He put on a standard business smile, and greeted him attentively: "Good evening, gentlemen, please follow me."
After being welcomed into the elevator, the salesman skillfully pressed the floor, then turned his back to them, and stayed very quietly in the corner of the elevator, pretending that he did not exist.
Ji Tong couldn't help thinking that the quality of welcoming guests in this gourmet city is really good, and they won't chat awkwardly with guests.
He looked at the long night outside the transparent elevator door, and thought of the starlight reflected in the host's eyes when he looked up just now, he just felt so handsome again.
It is worthy of the appearance that the protagonist of the novel should have.
And Pei Qingyuan on the side seemed to be distracted too.
So no one noticed that the Food City was clearly on the fifth floor, but the welcome guests with excellent professionalism pressed on the seventh floor.
The elevator door opened, and there was the faint sound of restless music. Some stylishly dressed men and women were gathering in the aisle to chat. The cigarettes between their fingers were flickering, and the smoke drifted across the scenes with different emotions. face.
The salesman bowed and asked them to get out of the elevator first, and asked Pei Qingyuan very politely: "Sir, do you open the show by yourself, or are you here to find friends? You look at the face, it should be the first time to come to play, right? Just call me Xiao Li."
Pei Qingyuan frowned slightly, this is obviously not a food city.
They seem to be in the wrong place.
Not far away, the heavy door was pushed open from the inside out, and a man and a woman with an intimate posture came out, and the suddenly amplified sound of music behind them spread throughout the entire space, accompanied by shouts and laughter.
Seeing this, Ji Tong also reacted belatedly.
This should be something like a bar and nightclub.
It is said that half of the city's long night is filled with delicious food and half drunk with alcohol.
The host was probably treated by the uniformed welcome as a special guest who came to this kind of entertainment place for consumption.
I have to say that the host looks quite like a rich second generation who would go in and out of such occasions today.
Thinking of this, Ji Tong couldn't help laughing, and a trace of curiosity flashed across his eyes at the same time.
He had never been to this kind of place before, it looked very lively.
In college before, some students once mentioned their experience of walking into a large nightclub in Tuxin with lingering fear. In one sentence, it can be highly summarized: deafness, tinnitus and heart attack at the same time.
Ji Tong has always wanted to know how noisy it must be.
Pei Qingyuan, who wanted to turn around and leave, saw his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go in?"
Ji Tong also answered him in a low voice: "Does it have to cost money to go in? Can I just take a look?"
After understanding what he meant, Pei Qingyuan looked at the salesman who was still waiting beside him, and said concisely: "Look for a friend."
Salesman Xiao Li was immediately discouraged, and if he didn't ask him to open the stage, it wouldn't be his performance.
However, considering the extraordinary temperament of this customer in a suit, he still stepped forward quickly, dutifully opened the door, and introduced the two unfamiliar customers into the store.
The deafening music drowned his ears, and Ji Tong instantly realized what it means to have deafness, tinnitus and heart attack at the same time.
The huge space is full of guests with blurred faces, and the overall light is dim. Only the DJ booth and the dance floor are shining with gorgeous lights, illuminating those faces that are laughing heartily.
The guests in the booths lingered together, and from time to time, a waiter passed by with drinks, and the crystal clear drinks reflected colorful desires.
This is a strange world that only emerges at night.
Ji Tong covered his ears, subconsciously sneaked behind the taller host, and said with emotion: "It's really noisy."
In such a noisy environment, of course Pei Qingyuan couldn't hear the emotion, and there was a crowd of people around him, so he reflexively held Ji Tong's wrist to avoid being hit by others.
The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, and amidst a strong sense of novelty, Ji Tong tiptoed to the host's ear and said, "I seem to be going deaf."
But he unexpectedly liked this feeling very much.
His heart was shaken by the sound of music, and his ears were filled with noisy sounds, but he still stood upright, and no one needed to worry too much about him.
Shallow breathing warmed the neck, and the familiar voice penetrated the misty noise into the ears. Pei Qingyuan grasped the knuckles of the pale wrist and tightened it, forgetting how to respond for a moment.
When he looked sideways with some stiffness, Ji Tong had already looked away, and as usual, his eyes were shining brightly at the things on other people's trays.
A glass of wine with a beautiful hue.
In this ambiguous world intertwined everywhere, the loud music seems to be able to cover all the floating thoughts.
Salesman Xiao Li was almost terrified by his colleagues and led him to the luxurious booth in the corner.
It's relatively quiet here, making his restless heartbeat more distinct.
He recognized the table in front of him.
The handsome man in the middle is Gu Yinglan, who is the most famous among the local young masters. He often patronizes it. It is a kind of restraint to open wine with a six-figure price in one night, so every salesman is very envious of bringing Gu Yinglan and others into the store the first time. The colleague here is like winning a lottery with unlimited prizes.
Envy is envy, Xiao Li has no contact with guests of this level, and has no idea why he was called over tonight.
He tried hard to remember if he had accidentally offended these young masters somewhere.
Just when he was feeling uneasy, someone in the deck spoke with interest: "What is the origin of those two people you brought in just now?"
Xiao Li was taken aback, thinking about the usual tastes of such people reflexively, and quickly found the answer from all the guests he had received tonight: "Are you referring to the boy in the white short-sleeve?"
The man clicked his tongue immediately: "It's quite clever."
Gu Yinglan, who was the most dazzling in the middle, said lightly: "Yes."
"It's not a regular customer who booked a table with me in advance, but I met it downstairs temporarily. It looked like a customer who was going to come to the store, so I brought it up." Xiao Li said truthfully, "I don't know their origin, But his companion said he was looking for a friend, so he didn't start the stage with me."
Someone immediately responded: "Young Master Gu, I'm sure, no one here knows that person."
"Either it's from outside, or it's just a bluff."
He was referring to the man who led the boy in.
"I haven't seen any friends greet them, don't you can't afford to open a booth?"
"You have a good eye. Where did you find a college student?"
"More like a high school student?"
Gu Yinglan listened to all the voices, looked away from the bar not far away, turned to the familiar salesman and said, "Send wine."
The sales colleague responded with a smile, and immediately walked quickly to find the bartender. At the same time, he reached out to touch Xiao Li who was called, and Xiao Li knew that his mission had been completed.
He bowed politely, and breathed a sigh of relief the moment he bent down.
But after turning around and leaving, Xiao Li couldn't help looking at the place Gu Yinglan had been staring at.
Working here, he often sees seemingly expensive customers like Gu Yinglan or the strange man tonight, and he can always see them leading simple and beautiful young men and women into the store.
Some are deliberately pretending to be innocent and innocent, and some are really ignorant of world affairs, like a canary strayed into the bustling, leaning hastily on the side of the close people.
But the boy that Gu Yinglan noticed tonight was different.
Perhaps Gu Yinglan was not the only one who noticed him.
Beside the dimly lit bar, the fair-skinned young man held a glass of freshly mixed colorful cocktail, took a sip carefully, and then wrinkled his face uncomfortably. He took a fruit candy from the bar, peeled off the candy wrapper with his slender fingers, and soon a smile appeared on his face again.
Everyone can see that it is the first time for him to enter such a place, but he is not at all disturbed, his expression is filled with a kind of pure curiosity and cherishment, he will never tire of looking at the surrounding scenery, everything in sight, Even the most ordinary wine glass seems to be full of new meanings.
This is exactly what is most lacking in the hearts of people who often linger in such places.
He had never seen anyone like it.
Xiao Li, with a complex expression, stood dumbfounded in the crowd, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw Gu Yinglan stand up.
The absolute center surrounded by everyone in the booth left, and the others looked at each other and got up to follow with great interest. Only a few young men and women who had accompanied them at first remained where they were at a loss.
The man silently walked towards the bar counter filled with crystal wine bottles. In his unhurried footsteps, there was a sense of necessity that needs no words to describe.
