Chapter 146 Dinner

The butler sent a car to take Liang Xi to the train station. Not long after boarding the train, Liang Xi received a call from Karin.Karin told Liang Xi that she had returned to work with Maria. Liang Xi knew that it had something to do with her work, so she didn't ask any other questions.In order to welcome Karin back to London, she invited Karin to dinner in the evening.Karin refused, she called specifically to invite Liang Xi to dinner to express her gratitude for Liang Xi's helping hand.

Liang Xi said, "Thank you for having other ways."

Karin was startled: "What way?" Do you want money?This was Karin's first thought.

Liang Xidao: "In ancient times, after a woman was rescued by a man, she usually promised her with her body, or acted like an ox or a horse. The kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring."

Karin asked with a smile: "I need to marry you to express my gratitude?"

Liang Xi replied: "Not necessarily. If a woman likes a man, the woman will say that she is willing to repay the grace of saving her life with her body. If the woman does not like a man, the woman will say that she must repay the grace of saving her life even if she is a cow and a horse in the future." .”

Karin laughed, took a moment to stop, and asked, "Does the man understand women? Has he taken the time to understand women? Does he understand himself?"

Liang Xi was asked for a while, and said for a while: "We have to go through the tunnel, we will meet and talk tonight."

"Well, I'll send you the address after I've decided on the location."

"Okay, bye."

"Goodbye."

Liang Xi held the phone in a daze.After he learned that Yingluck took the disabled driver's license and went to work at the city hall, and that Yingluck and Fiona were never married, he was secretly delighted.Why?As a man, Fiona's impact on Liang Xi's memory is extremely strong and indelible, making Liang Xi feel the happiest joy in his life.Liang Xi was obsessed with this shock for a long time.Karin gave Liang Xi a different feeling, and she was willing to eat, chat, take a walk and exercise with her.

After Karin went to France, Liang Xi didn't have much concern.But Fiona can appear in Liang Xi's mind every day.If you say love, it should be Fiona.But is it really love?When Liang Xi and Fiona were alone, they thought about that kind of thing, and when they thought about Fiona every day, they still thought about that kind of thing.He had no other impression of Fiona.

As far as eating is concerned, if Liang Xi eats with Fiona, he expects something to happen after eating, and eating is just a tool.

If Liang Xi had dinner with Karin, he would be willing to spend more time on the meal.

Liang Xi reviewed himself. Karin had worked in Maria Hospital for several months, and he had never asked her to watch movies, eat or go out.Only when there is something to do, do we enjoy afternoon tea at Mary's house together.I never pursued her, nor had her thoughts.

Liang Xi didn't know anymore, he couldn't figure out who he liked, maybe he didn't like them, maybe he liked them all.

Damn, it's so difficult!
Liang Xi had two love experiences in high school, but neither was the girl who made his heart beat.The girls took the initiative to express their love. Although Liang Xi didn't love them, he thought they were good in all aspects. He didn't have a girlfriend, so why didn't he accept it?This is logical thinking.These two love affairs did not increase Liang Xi's emotional experience, especially tasteless, it is a pity to discard it if it is tasteless.

Karin made Liang Xi's heart flutter, and Fiona made Liang Xi restless.

As an ex-girlfriend said, Liang Xi understood her, but he didn't understand himself.

However, this also involves a practical topic.It's not up to you to choose which girl, other girls may not like you.Fiona likes to bite Liang's apples, but does Fiona only love Liang Xi?Karin has a crush on Liang Xi, but how long will Liang Xi's inaction, performance, and pursuit last?If Liang Xi pursues Karin with the enthusiasm of squatting in the bar for ten days, Liang Xi has a chance.The smart Karin will distinguish Liang Xi's enthusiasm or behavior.

Enthusiasm means that I invite you to dinner every day, I just want to invite you to dinner, I just want to eat with you.sensual behavior.

Behavior, I invite you to eat every day for other reasons, and eating is just a tool.rational behavior.

Liang Xi felt that he had to find a staff officer.Bobby can't do it, this stuff is too bad, and his experience is spent with money and face.Baker is a bachelor, and Liu Zhennv is a bachelor.Although Ah Duo is married, the couple has entered a midlife crisis.No, you can't refer to it. Be yourself. If you make mistakes or do bad things, that's your own business.

Liang Xi asked himself, what are your strengths?The appearance is not bad, Liang Xi doesn't brag or criticize, he thinks he has seven points no matter what.clever?No, with the ex-girlfriends, being smart was what led to the total failure of the relationship.Romance, hard work, diligence, courage to take responsibility, tenacity, bravery, thoughtfulness... Liang Xi found that he had almost nothing to do with it.

On the whole, Liang Xi is not an excellent boyfriend.As a bird like myself, I still dare to be in Cao Ying's heart, and dare to stare at the pot without moving the bowl.You must reflect on yourself.When Karin was in England, it was fine if she didn't have an appointment. After Karin arrived in France, she didn't have a phone.If it wasn't for exercise, I probably wouldn't even send an email.

If such a Liang Xi can get a wife, it would be hell.

Rubbish, you are rubbish!Liang Xi braced his head and looked out the window, feeling that this description of himself was a bit too much. The accurate adjective should be: kitchen waste.There is no recycling value, even if you use it for composting, you have to trouble others to deal with your own stench.

well!Liang Xi lowered his head, pressing his head on the small table in frustration.As Mary said about John, John's adventurous spirit was one of the reasons that attracted her when he was young.And I lived in the detective agency only half a year after graduating from university.If it weren't for some talent and luck points at birth, it is estimated that now I can only hold Mary to eat the old.

……

The detective agency where Liang Xi returned to London was around two o'clock in the afternoon. Today's detective agency is quite chaotic, with Liang Xi's daily necessities piled up everywhere.After all, no matter how simple a man is, he must have the most basic living space.But Liang Xi didn't have time to deal with this problem today, so Liang Xi first spent 150 pounds to a well-known barber shop nearby, and had an expensive haircut.Prior to this, Liang Xi's haircut cost did not exceed 10 pounds.

Put on your best fitting suit and take it off.Put on your favorite gray sweater and jeans.Because of the small waistline of jeans, Liang Xi never wears a belt, but he does today.Before, Liang Xi didn't wear leather shoes and short stockings, because they were too slippery, and walking was awkward. He preferred sports socks, which filled his shoes completely.Today I put on short stockings and a pair of casual leather shoes with jeans.

After looking in front of the mirror for a long time, he opened the office drawer and took out John's men's handbag.No, take out the phone and hold it in your hand, it seems to be okay.

This was the first time that Liang Xi prepared to meet others for more than 3 minutes. In the past, even when Liang Xi went to meet the count, he would just put on clothes casually, and didn't bother to change if he felt inappropriate.To put it on is to put it on.This attack took three hours.Looking left and right in the mirror, I can't see where the three hours were spent, but I just spent them, and I feel so bad.

There is also a souvenir. Today is Karin's treat. As a guest, Liang Xi bought an exquisite pastry as a souvenir.This is because during two afternoon teas with Karin, Liang Xi discovered that Karin liked to eat small snacks.Um?Seems like the little treats could be removed.

At 55:[-] in the evening, Liang Xi arrived at the Chinese restaurant on time.Karin, who arrived first, was dressed casually and was looking at the menu under the introduction of the waiter.Liang Xi came up to apologize first, and gave him a present. Karin looked at Liang Xi for three seconds before saying, "Order." What conspiracy does he have?
Liang Xi said to the waiter in Chinese: "Fat intestines, braised meat, mixed with green vegetables..."

Liang Xi immediately changed his words: "Karin, what flavor do you like?"

Karin smiled and said, "You order."

Therefore, Liang Xi was not polite, and said seven dishes in one breath, and the waiter said with a confused face: "I'm sorry, I don't know Chinese."

"Fuck."

Karin covered her mouth and laughed loudly: "Great detective, amazing."

Liang Xi was speechless and asked the sky, Liang Xi asked: "Does the chef know Chinese?"

The waiter nodded.

Liang Xi took a note: "There are two kinds of dishes, one is authentic Chinese food, and the other is popular local Chinese food." Liang Xi noted on the back of the dishes, less oil, more spicy, and no TM sugar.Liang Xi has been eating family-style Chinese food for 8 years, and what he hates the most is adding sugar to Chinese food, which is too sweet and salty to eat.However, Liang Xi found that authentic Chinese food doesn’t get high scores in online reviews, and Chinese restaurants with high scores change their dishes because of local tastes.

Western-style Chinese food has three flavors: sweet, sour and salty.

The food was served quickly, Liang Xi ordered six dishes and one soup, and two dishes were delivered within 2 minutes.Liang Xi held up his chopsticks with a tragic expression, Karin was puzzled, Liang Xi said: "It was prepared in advance." Trying the taste again, it was really ordinary.

Liang Xi boasted: "After I move, I will definitely let you try my cooking skills."

Karin nodded and asked, "Is there any house you like?"

Liang Xi asked, "Do you also rent a house?"

Karin replied, "Yeah."

Liang Xi asked smoothly, "How about we rent together?"

Karin smiled and replied: "Not so much. If my future boyfriend is you, then we are living together (living) now, isn't it too casual? If my future boyfriend is not you, how should I explain to my boyfriend? Your presence?"

Liang Xi said, "Can I have a male girlfriend?"

Karin laughed again, and said, "If I have a male best friend who rents together. You are my boyfriend, what would you think of this problem?"

Liang Xi paused, and said, "Your question is a bit embarrassing." I thought there was nothing wrong with being Karin's boyfriend, but after I changed my identity to Karin's boyfriend, I thought, shit, all these so-called boyfriends should be tied up. A ton of iron, sunk in the English Channel to feed the fish.What's even more disgusting is that the male girlfriends are not ashamed, but proud.For example, when I was a male girlfriend, I thought: I didn’t do anything, why would Karin’s boyfriend be hostile to me?Is this kind of man reliable?Karin had to be persuaded to break up with him.

Karin said, "So..."

Liang Xi changed the subject and said: "If you have a suitable house, you can recommend one to me. Money is not a problem. The rent plus monthly hard expenses don't exceed five hundred pounds."

Karin smiled again: "Liang Xi, whenever you need money, do you regret not getting more money?"

Liang Xi shook his head: "Living alone, spending five hundred is too extravagant. I don't need much space."

Karin nodded and said, "Can you tell me about the wonderful experience of going to Brighton?"

This is what attracts a lot of women.After hearing that Liang Xi was invited to participate in the Blood Moon, which she had never heard of, the well-informed Karin was also full of curiosity.Liang Xi's eloquence is not bad, he is good at telling stories, and began to describe his trip to the blood moon.During the speaking process, Karin didn't say a word, but listened very carefully, which made Liang Xi especially want to speak.

After Liang Xi finished speaking, Karin asked, "You don't think the professor is the murderer? You don't think No. 3 is the murderer either?"

Liang Xidao: "We think there is a problem with this question itself. There are too few resources in this case, there is no witness, and the time span of committing the crime exceeds 20 hours. Everything is possible. According to our reasoning, there are several contradictions that are explained For example, since the professor has murderous intentions and uses food and drugs to control people, why not directly control everyone? The professor is in good health, and he did not commit suicide after his granddaughter died. He focused on learning. Why did the professor suddenly commit suicide? Even if the professor is The murderer should also commit suicide after killing, instead of letting the situation develop naturally after suicide." As an opponent, the princess's level is not enough.

Liang Xidao: "This is similar to a math problem. 2 plus how much equals how much. There are infinite possibilities and infinite impossibilities. So I refused to participate in the second blood moon invitation. I don't want to waste my time on such problems." .”

Karin asked curiously: "Why can't you think about it from the perspective of making money?"

Liang Xi replied: "John once told me that when you put money first in doing something, you will lose experience and fun. He gave me a piece of advice. Before I have a formal girlfriend, I will not starve to death. Don’t consider the money factor under certain circumstances. Because after marriage, whether I want to or not, many of my future actions must take money into account. Youth is short, let yourself go, enjoy life, and let the future self have no regrets. I asked at the time, Am I missing out on making money? John told me, if you can earn £20 at 30, why do you think you won’t earn £[-] at [-] with ten years of life experience?"

Karin asked curiously, "How do you answer?"

Liang Xi said: "I'm kidding you, Auntie is not interested in a 30-year-old brother."

Karin laughed and realized that her voice was too loud, so she immediately covered her mouth and nodded to the affected people in apology.Liang Xi admired Karin's smile. Karin was very generous and not shy, and said, "I think what John said is very reasonable. I'm the opposite of you. I don't mean money. I have many things to consider. It’s a lot of demands. They say I love studying, but I don’t like studying, I hate studying, but my heart always forces me to do something meaningful.”

Liang Xi said: "I think John is talking about you. You can definitely make money at the age of 30. As far as the current profit of the detective agency is concerned, I don't think I can make money at the age of 30."

Karin said: "A reminder, with John's advice, you shouldn't think about this issue."

Liang Xi nodded: "After going to college, I understand John's mentality. Many people, including Mary, think that John is very satisfied with his life. In fact, he has left a lot of regrets. He told me that he missed a lot of scenery. When he should be young and frivolous, He chose to be mature and stable, and when he was mature and stable, he chose to know his destiny."

Karin said: "Senior's advice should be remembered. But if you follow senior's advice completely, then your life does not belong to you."

Wow, this sentence is so philosophical. Karin smiled and admired Liang Xi's admiration, picked up the phone to look at the number, gave Liang Xi a sorry expression, and answered the phone: "Hello...I'm eating...now Is it?...It's not very convenient...Okay, I'll send you the location."
