Lin Qian took Li Zhicheng to a Western restaurant.

It was already past nine o'clock and there were not many people in the restaurant. The lights outside the window were silently reflected, making it look particularly quiet.

The waiter stepped forward to order food, Li Zhicheng took the menu, but placed it on the table.

"I'm not good at English, you can make the decision."

Lin Qian can understand this. Many Chinese people are unwilling to speak when they go abroad. What's more, Li Zhicheng used to be a soldier, and if he spoke fluent English, she would feel inconsistent.

Lin Qian was not shy, looked at the menu and briefly reported the waiter a lot of dishes in English. He looked at Li Zhicheng opposite him and whispered to the waiter at a more slight speed: "... He doesn't eat tomato sauce, don't put all the dishes; beef... He likes larger pieces; he doesn't put onions anymore, he doesn't like them; is there any tea for the drink? Yes, as long as it's tea, British black tea can... No, he will never drink milk tea..."

Just as he was thinking about his preference for taste, he suddenly felt two burning eyes falling on his face.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Li Zhicheng lowering his eyes slightly, picking up the glass in front of him and drinking water slowly. Everything was as usual.

Lin Qian's face heated up.

He should... he didn't understand. If he could understand this, he got at least full marks in English in the college entrance examination, and he usually had no barriers to listening to BBC.

It's impossible, how can a soldier usually use English?

Thinking of this, she calmed down again.

——

Lin Qian soon discovered that this night was not as anxious, nervous and difficult as she had imagined before.

While waiting for the meal, she was still struggling with what topic to choose, which was more relaxed and natural. Li Zhicheng, opposite, had taken off his coat and only wore a dark gray outdoor fleece jacket, and placed his hands gently on the table. Lin Qian's eyes naturally fell on his clothes. Well... this one has good waterproof and warm performance, and looks beautiful, making the man's figure look strong and well-proportioned. He is very sensible, and... he is actually quite good at wearing clothes.

At this time, Li Zhicheng spoke calmly: "Do you often come to this restaurant for dinner?"

Lin Qian immediately replied: "It's not often. I haven't been in the United States for a long time. I used to come to stay for a few weeks during winter and summer vacations. My brother has taken me here a few times and it feels pretty good."

Li Zhicheng looked at her with a dark look and nodded.

Lin Qian naturally talked about the dishes, chefs, and surrounding attractions. Li Zhicheng has never been a talkative person. Even though he always said something that made her frightened and blushed before, it was concise and clear. But Lin Qian found that if he wanted to talk to someone in depth, he was actually very good at adjusting the atmosphere and dominating the situation.

For example, now, she is talking most of the time. But he only occasionally asks questions or talks for a few words, and unknowingly leads the topic from the restaurant to her university life; and from college life to her interests and hobbies... But when Lin Qian discovered this, her life events, family relationships, and likes and dislikes were basically understood by Li Zhicheng...

Therefore, approaching the target without moving is also one of the characteristics of a wolf.

However, she had to admit that the conversation was pleasant and casual. Li Zhicheng did not bring too much pressure as he said when he first met her tonight. It was just that whenever she was devoted to her, he would stare at her with his dark and dark eyes, staring at her intently. Her heartbeat was a little unstable, but the feeling was not annoying, and even a hint of dangerous sweetness surged in her heart.

When the meal was almost finished, Lin Qian, who had been dominated by the conversation, finally decided to take the lead.

Her heartbeat was a little nervous and unstable. She looked at Li Zhicheng's handsome face under the lamp. His fleece zipper was pulled to his neck and his collar was up. At this moment, he looked just a very cool young man. He was not as cold as he was wearing a suit in the company, nor was he as sophisticated and sophisticated as he was planning. This was a very wonderful feeling, as if he showed his other side in front of you.

Harmless, like an ordinary man's side.

Seeing her gaze, Li Zhicheng put down his knife and fork and waited for her to speak.

Lin Qian: "Mr. Li, can I ask you three questions?"

Li Zhicheng looked at her and his voice was low: "Yes."

"The first question..." Lin Qian said with a smile, "How did you think of those business war moves? What are the tricks?" Lin Qian would definitely not ask if it was replaced by someone else. What is there to ask? Business war is based on your heart. For example, her brother, who is completely ruthless in his mind, can she learn it? Can she not learn it?

But Li Zhicheng is different. He was linked together before, and he could find a follow-up in the art of war, which was different from other people's business wars. So this question has troubled Lin Qian for a long time. Today, the atmosphere is rare, so I finally asked.

After hearing this question, a very faint smile slowly appeared in Li Zhicheng's eyes.

"Want to learn?" His low and clear voice.

Lin Qian's face burned and she answered frankly: "Well. Anyone would want to learn this if they were replaced."

Li Zhicheng did not answer immediately, but picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then looked up at her: "There is only one principle, the simplest principle that all military commanders are familiar with."

Lin Qian felt a little nervous. He then continued: "All my action plans are to understand all possible obstacles to ensure that at the decisive point, we can quickly and efficiently encircle and annihilate the opponent with absolute military strength."

Lin Qian was stunned for a moment.

That's so simple? Just one sentence?

She thought about his words carefully.

"Clear all obstacles"... In the previous "battle", he asked you to fall into the trap, and attacked the world, and led Si Meiqi into Mingsheng's trap, causing the other party to set a series of restrictions: delivery cycle and price.

So! When Li Zhicheng turned to the decisive point of "mid-range market", Si Meiqi could not withdraw troops to fight his low-priced flanking battle. So, this is what he said, "absolute force advantage encirclement and annihilate the opponent"? Si Meiqi's overall strength is far better than Ida, but as he said, his "all action plans" are huge and complex, both true and false, all just to get Si Meiqi's troops at this decisive point, which is a strategic goal he has locked in early morning...

If you think about it carefully, it is really as simple as he said...

She was a little excited inside. This felt familiar, and it was the feeling of passion that Ida had repeatedly brought her when she was at the bottom of the valley.

She looked up at him, her eyes clear and her smile was shallow, and she said crisply: "Thank you, I'll be taught."

Li Zhicheng sat still, and took the woman's smile and frown, and saw all the colors of her eyes and lips. He spoke again in a deep voice: "As for the specific plan..." Sure enough, the woman's eyes lit up again, and she almost looked at him.

A smile flashed in Li Zhicheng's eyes, and he looked at her without any haste and said, "I can't tell you." Seeing a look of disappointment flashing quickly in her eyes, he raised his hand calmly, picked up the white porcelain pot with beautiful lines, poured another cup of tea, and put it in front of her: "But my next battle will be launched in two months."

Lin Qian was shocked, subconsciously picked up the tea he poured and took a small sip. Hey, she didn't even notice it. After chatting for so long, she was already dry and dry. So she took another big sip. An irrelevant thought flashed through her mind - he was quite careful and considerate...

The thought flashed, and then he raised his deep eyes and looked at her: "The war is imminent. If you want to learn, follow me. Let's go together every step."

Lin Qian's heart was beating.

There are some things she is still confused.

But there are some things she can't resist.

She nodded firmly: "Okay. I will definitely learn it carefully."

A faint smile flashed in Li Zhicheng's eyes again, and his handsome face with black hair and black eyes was still calm and cold in this strange restaurant in a foreign country.

"The second question?" he asked in a low voice.

In fact, Lin Qian just mentioned three questions, because she was a little impulsive. At this moment, she lowered her head slightly and poked the unfinished salad in front of her with a silver fork. At the same time, she asked in a very ordinary tone: "The second question... Do you also use such scheming and tricks to women?"

She didn't look up, and from the corner of her eyes she could see him looking at her, as if he was pondering, and as if he was staring at her intently.

"Lin Qian, if I use a trick to get you..." After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Then now, even if your heart does not belong to me, in name, it must be Mrs. Li."

Lin Qian's heart was shocked and he looked up at him.

But I ran into his calm and dark eyes.

Her heartbeat was out of control again.

Yes, a dangerous breath.

He said seriously. If he used tricks, cunning and treacherous, she was really not sure whether she could escape.

He said it so quietly, but it had unquestionable weight, even inconceivable words.

Lin Qian lowered her head and continued to poke the pile of things on the plate with a fork, poke, poke, poke...

But he heard him give a final summary of this issue: "So, you can rest assured of me."

A short sentence made Lin Qian's previous shock speechless and turned into a red face.

"I didn't think about anything and be assured." She argued, "I'm just talking to you casually."

"Well." He stared at her face that had been flushed at some point and whispered, "It's great. We should indeed 'chat casually'."

Lin Qian's face was still hot, and she replied casually: "Why?"

"Because, both as a subordinate and as a woman, you should know more about me."

His voice was low and firm, and Lin Qian was slightly stunned and continued to blush...

"What is the third question?" he asked again.

Lin Qian calmed down.

He raised his rosy face and looked straight into his eyes with bright eyes.

"What if one day the woman you love brings you the pain of cramps and bone peeling?"

Li Zhicheng also looked back at her steadily.

After a brief silence, his eyes remained calm.

"If it's the woman I love, then I can only..." He replied softly, "It's as sweet as you can."

——

When I walked out of the restaurant, the snow had stopped.

The night is quieter than before, and the city is still brightly lit. Next to the wet streets, snowflakes fall from time to time on the trees, making the air cold but refreshing.

In such a night view, people's mood seems to become roaming.

Wander in this quiet and magnificent New Year's Eve of the exotic country.

So when Li Zhicheng proposed "going around", Lin Qian nodded happily.

Maybe they talked too much in the restaurant, and it was the first time that they had such a deep conversation between them. Now they are strolling under the shadow of trees on the street, and neither of them has spoken for a while.

After walking for a while, I heard a faint song coming from the front. The tune seemed to be like many people singing the Chinese "The Successor of the Dragon".

Lin Qian smiled and said, "I remember there is a park in front of me, maybe there."

Li Zhicheng: "Go and have a look."

The entire park is a huge round green space, located in the city. Li Zhicheng and Lin Qian stepped on a white staircase, and when they looked up, they could see the green and gentle hillsides, as well as the winding white walkways during the period. Beneath the shadows of trees, you can see a stage in front of them from afar, with the lights flashing and the music melodious. Many people gathered under the stage and sang with the music.
