In a blink of an eye, a month has passed since the hurricane, and the time has quietly arrived at the end of October.

Unlike many people in Asia take for granted, the real time of Halloween is November 1. It’s just that people in Western countries often celebrate on Halloween.

The cinema line that regularly plays horror movies every year, like a heavenly steed, soaring across the skies, parade floats with different shapes, pumpkin skulls everywhere, And brat who wears "horror" fancy dress and tricks or treats.

In order to inspire the citizens of Gotham City who have escaped from natural disasters, a large company headed by Wayne Enterprises and other non-profit organizations took the lead to hold a Halloween celebration that was far more luxurious than in the past.

Of course, the excitement outside has nothing to do with Li Ang. He sits alone in the corner of the closed Red Armadillo restaurant, enjoying a rare personal time.

The burrito named Taco is a traditional Mexican delicacy. It is made of fine corn flour and is made into a round dough. It is placed on an iron plate and heated slightly. The yellow dough is slightly burnt and crispy. Add some small cube-shaped sauced beef tongue and stewed pork stomach, deep-fried pork skin, and finally sprinkle some onion and coriander on top, and top with the exclusive pickled chili sauce.

Li Ang leaned against the glass window, gazing at the neon light that almost tore the deep night outside, stuffed the burrito in his mouth, with a few plates of pickled vegetables, slowly chewing aftertaste.

The streets are full of fireworks, full of noise, men and women in fancy outfits in groups of three or four, laughing and running towards the formal parade in the middle of the city, and the deserted, lonely, dimly lit restaurant interior In sharp contrast.

Christina, who was standing behind the counter wiping the glass, asked casually: "Aren't you going to the celebration?"

"No interest." Li Ang poured oneself on oneself A small cup of tequila, use your index finger to stick some salt in the small dish, drink up the drink after sucking, and then bite the lime, "and you didn't go there either?"

Christina chuckled, took off her apron, turned up without being invited and sat opposite Li Ang, her eyes were a little tired, "I don't think it's interesting, too. Let father take Elizabeth and the others."

Since that rainstorm night, Christina has become a little silent. One of her companions burned out his brain, and another rushed to the street without coming through. The school held a commemorative ceremony. ,

As a classmate, Li Ang went to the funeral. Following the priest's deep words, he bowed his head with others and watched the coffin sink six feet below.

Naturally, he would not be like the indecisive, moaning male protagonist of Japanese light novels, who blamed the death of these people on oneself, a group of "acquaintances" of nodded friends.

Christina sighed, relieved her sadness, smiled at Li Ang,

She pushed aside the wine bottle on the table and trot to get behind the counter , Took out a bottle of aged agave from the cabinet below.

"This is the father's possession, eight-year-old Tequila," Christina opened the bottle with a smile, and the amber wine leaped into the glass lightly, "Now, drink a little secretly, don't let him find out Just fine."

The two looked at each other and smiled, clinking glasses and drinking, the scorching touch burned the throat, and the lemon juice brought refreshing nectar to the tip of the tongue.

"Right," Li Ang remembered something, and chewed on the pickled cucumbers and said, "I might resign next week."

"Huh?" Christina didn’t react. The burrito in her hand almost fell to the table. She smiled reluctantly and pretended to say nonchalantly: "So soon? Did you find another job?"

" Right." Li Ang is already the owner of Williams Estate in name and the boss of several car washes and dry cleaners. When his career is on the right track, he naturally does not need the identity of a waiter in a small restaurant to cover his whereabouts.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while,

"So..." Christina coughed and said with a smile: "That's a pity, it's missing Your and my work has been aggravated. After all, waiters who are proficient in more than a dozen languages ​​are not easy to find. Dad has to go to the talent market to recruit people."

Li Ang stretched out, Pat down the salt on his hand, "Then I can only wish Mr. Domingo good luck and find a reliable waiter to take over my Legacy."

The atmosphere returns to tranquility again, Li Ang His pupils reflected the splendid fireworks blooming outside the window, and Christina's quiet eyes were this narrow and old restaurant.

Li Ang turned his head and smiled and asked: "By the way, it's the eleventh grade. What are your plans for graduation?"

United States education implements the school year system. Corresponding to high school grades 9 to 12, even if American students have been poisoned by the so-called "happy education" for a long time, the choice of university is still very serious.

"Uh...I'm not as good as your grades. Just apply to an ordinary university." Christina shook her glass and said bitterly: "It's you, I'm afraid those famous universities The offer can be used to play card games, right."

"It’s not that simple. It’s not enough to have good results alone. You have to take an active part in social activities." Li Ang said casually: "Otherwise you think Why am I rushing to take part in the aftermath of the hurricane?" Christina opened her glasses wide, patted the table and scolded: "You are so utilitarian, hurry up and take me to the Halloween celebration. Otherwise, I’ll report you."

"Okay" Li Ang nodded, stood up to take action and said, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Eh "Christina didn't expect Li Ang, who has never participated in any group activities, turned her temper, and some did not react.

"Come on, the celebration is about to begin, is it possible that you want me to hold you?" Li Ang couldn't help but grabbed Christina's hand and walked out.

The two ran from the alley to the street, and together with the joyous crowd, marched towards the floats in the city center.

"Wait a minute! The back door of the restaurant is not closed!" Christina blushed and hurriedly called, grabbing Li Ang and refusing to let go.

Li Ang turned her head and said coldly: "I closed it 10 minutes ago."

Christina's eyes widened: "We didn't wear special clothes!"

Li Ang twitched his lips: "Go to the roadside stall and buy it again."

Christina gritted her teeth, "I haven't put on makeup yet!"

Li Ang crooked He tilted her head, "Who will look at your face in fancy clothes? is it possible that you think oneself is a star who came to the show?" Christina sighed discouragedly and said, covering her forehead. : "...You can't just say, "You look as good as you do without makeup" like in those movies?"

Li Ang raised the hands of the two interlocking fingers. lightly said with a smile: "Huh? Am I the kind of person who plays cards?"

"Okay..." Christina resignedly let Li Ang take her forward , Said very quietly: "Then are we dating?"

"Maybe it."
