Chapter 71: Zhou Lang's ingenious plan to bring peace to the world
"The Admiral seems to prefer a simple and warm style, right?"
"How do you say it?"
"Because all the furniture you selected is of that style, and I don't like that kind of expensive furniture."
"You can't say that... I just don't like leather sofas. I prefer fabric sofas."
"I think that leather sofa is very beautiful, and that mahogany bed."
"Compared to leather sofas, I really can't appreciate mahogany furniture, even the expensive ones."
"Admiral, have you seen that kind of expensive mahogany furniture?"
"At least I looked at it online."
…
Listening to the conversation between Lexington and the Admiral, she was completely unable to join in the conversation. She only got one or two replies after interrupting several times. Wichita couldn't help but lower her head. She was confident and bold, but she was not stupid. She didn't understand the situation she was in.
The real loneliness is not being alone, but being alone in a group of people. Wichita finally understood the meaning of that sentence. She felt very lonely and at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Wichita tried to interrupt several times, but she didn't know what to say. She fell completely silent. Her wavy hair seemed to become unhappy, like weeds exposed to the sun. She thought that even if she spoke, she would probably look like a clown.
No wonder no one wants to come here. Are you here to get embarrassed?
It's not that I'm an outsider and I can't talk to anyone, I just prefer drinking. To hide the embarrassment, Wichita kept drinking and finished a large glass of wine.
Wichita looked around and thought that maybe it would be better to leave now and not continue to embarrass herself.
"If the admiral had chosen to live in our American-style residential building instead of the Guanhai Building, he would have lived next to Wichita."
Wichita drank the last bit of wine in one breath and was about to make an excuse to leave when he suddenly heard these words.
"By the way, can Wichita cook?"
Wichita looked up and saw Lexington looking at her. She hesitated and asked, "Are you asking me?"
Wichita would say: “A little bit.”
"Wichita can cook, but I didn't know that. I thought she was a cooking idiot because I always saw her eating out." Lexington looked at Su Xia and said jokingly, "Admiral, I want to ask you if it's a pity. If you had chosen our American-style residential building at that time, you could have eaten at Wichita's place every day."
Su Xia was not such a straight man, he said: "What a pity."
Wichita noticed that Lexington nodded slightly at her, and it was as if she was under the illusion that Lexington did nothing. No matter what happened, she could talk now, so she said, "Don't feel sorry, I know a little bit, really a little bit."
Lexington laughed and said, "Wichita's answer is not heroic at all. What's wrong with you today?"
Wichita bit her lip. Heroism is built on self-confidence. After experiencing such a setback, how could she still be heroic?
"Yatsen can barely make a full banquet. Gaga can cook instant noodles, put bread, ham, fried eggs, lettuce and tomatoes together to make a sandwich, and roughly chop lettuce, tomatoes and bell peppers into a large bowl and add salad dressing to make a bowl of vegetable salad." Lexington asked, "Which one does Wichita know?"
"Gaga is not here, so are you going to frame her like that?" Compared to wine, Su Xia prefers snacks to go with wine, such as dried tofu, pickled radish, pickled cucumber, kelp shreds and drunkard peanuts. He keeps eating them.
"No way. I like Gaga the best." Lexington said, "Wichita doesn't talk, so your one who can speak won't be worse than Gaga, right?"
Wichita took a deep breath. She was a bold person after all. She cheered up immediately and said boldly, "It's definitely better than Gaga."
"Okay, you're confident," Lexington said, "but you're missing that signature move."
Su Xia was a little confused. What was Wichita's signature move?
"My cooking skills are definitely better than Gaga's," Wichita repeated, folding her arms and puffing out her chest with pride.
Su Xia looked at Wichita's action and narrowed her eyes subconsciously. It was really tall and straight. Wichita didn't say anything, but it seemed that there was a sentence ringing in her ears - whether it is a competition of firepower or other things, I will not lose to others!
"Admiral, Admiral, your eyes are wide open." Lexington teased as he sat opposite them.
"What do you mean your eyes are looking straight..." Su Xia was busy looking away from Wichita's chest and made a weak excuse.
Wichita was now completely confident and radiant. She said, "Admiral, you can look at it as much as you want. You can even touch it."
Su Xia didn't know how to answer. She was not used to dealing with this kind of person.
The enemy retreated and I advanced, Wichita said aggressively, "Admiral, weren't you so brave before? Even when everyone said no, you still nodded. Why are you so cowardly now?"
Seeing Su Xia being forced to lean to the side by Wichita step by step, or moving a chair to avoid it, or falling to the ground, Lexington said: "Okay, Wichita, don't bully the admiral. Do you like bullying the admiral so much?"
This time, after hearing what Lexington said, Wichita didn't show any reluctance, and let .
"It seems that the admiral was lucky not to choose our American residential building and live next to you in Wichita." Lexington said, "Otherwise, I don't think the admiral would have come to you for free meals. I think in less than two days, you would have eaten the admiral up completely."
"Two days?" Wichita said, "Ma'am, you look down on me, I said at most one day."
"Don't use force," Lexington reminded, "unless you want to become like Mutsu."
"If you can't force it..." Wichita thought for a moment and raised his hand heroically, "That's fine too."
"I don't understand what you are talking about at all." Su Xia interrupted.
Wichita said disdainfully: "You were so unscrupulous before, but now you pretend to be so innocent. Keep pretending."
"How can I pretend? I have always been a pure and innocent person."
"I have always been a pure person... Tell this to Helena, to Missouri, to Mrs. Sixteen, to Oyodo whose skirt you lifted and who still doesn't have a ring, to the Prince of Wales, Lion, and Des Moines, and to those who you harassed." Wichita said disdainfully.
Su Xia was speechless. He said, "I have done many things that have let you down in the past, such as harassment. I promise I won't do it again in the future." He took the opportunity to express his stance, saying that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.
"You used to harass us, now we harass you," Wichita said.
"What kind of vicious words are these?" Su Xia was shocked.
“This is revenge.”
"You don't think I'm afraid of you, do you?" As a man, how could Su Xia be afraid of being harassed by girls? At least he was not afraid of a big blonde beauty like Wichita.
"Hurt each other." After being depressed for a while, Wichita rebounded and was particularly excited and heroic. She threw herself on Su Xia and pressed her against the wall in the corner. She reached out and pushed her bangs back handsomely, "I want to kiss you now."
"Lexington." Su Xia called for help. He really didn't know how to deal with such a heroic girl like Wichita.
"Wichita, stop making trouble." Lexington had been silent the whole time, but he stopped Wichita with just one sentence, "Everyone is watching."
Wichita looked around and saw that everyone was watching, so she stopped. She pulled her clothes and looked at Su Xia who was pushed against the wall like a quail, and said, "We are in the bar now, so I will let you go for now. Don't let me run into you next time."
Su Xia sat back down, straightened his clothes, and thought about how Wichita had just forced him into such a passive position. He felt that he was such a failure as a man. He said, "If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat?"
Su Xia laughed and said, "Do you really think I'm the herbivorous man in the comics? Don't force me."
"I'm going to force you." Wichita puffed out her chest proudly, not afraid of anyone.
Su Xia surrendered decisively.
They sat at the bar the whole time, their eyes never leaving the corner where the admiral was sitting.
"Wichita is..."
Missouri was the first to notice something was wrong. She saw Wichita sitting there with her head down and not saying a word. She wanted to take her away in the name of sending wine. Sisters should not go too far. But she thought that Lexington was not that kind of person. Even if he had some little thoughts, who didn't have them? He couldn't be so ruthless.
Sure enough, Lexington had no intention of bullying Wichita. It seemed that with just a few words, Wichita immediately became active, and the original depression disappeared immediately... Why did Wichita seem to become obedient to Lexington?
Enterprise understood and said with a smile, "As expected of Lexington."
Washington had a blank expression on his face. She said, "You let Wichita be the vanguard to test Lexington... Now it's all right."
"Bad people always think the worst of others." Missouri said, "Did we ask Wichita to go? Didn't she want to go on her own? No matter how we called her, she wouldn't stop."
Washington acquiesced. Wichita was too reckless. She was reckless, not brave. She put down her glass, stood up, and said, "I'm done. I'm leaving now."
"Goodbye," said Missouri.
Enterprise stood still, and she said, "Lexington thought she won?"
Enterprise tilted its head.
"I remember that Water Rabbit is at work today. Hasn't he come yet?"
