Chapter 146 When the Leaf Met Jessica(1/2)
On the streets of the imperial capital, Lin Dong and Lulu Jessica were walking side by side on the street. Miss Jessica wore a pair of black-framed glasses and dressed herself up like a female student, full of scholarly spirit. Lin Dong's appearance was already ordinary, and she was dressed in an ordinary outfit. No one would associate him with the mighty Prince Lin.
"Double-layer brioche! I want to eat this!" Walking past a cake shop, Jessica could no longer pull her legs when she saw the poster at the door. As she went on, Lin Dong could no longer remember how much snacks Jessica had eaten.
Lin Dong touched his bulging belly and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have eaten snacks and bloated. I wondered, why don't you get fat if you eat so much?"
Jessica smiled sweetly and said in Lin Dong's ear: "Secret." The distance is very close, and the unique body fragrance of a girl on Jessica is as if she is deliberately teasing Lin Dong.
The two of them walked into the cake shop. The various pastries in the window exuded an attractive fragrance. "Boss, you need two of them, and there are two of them, and this one, this one..."
After a while, Jessica picked more than a dozen kinds of pastries. She held a piece of cream egg tart in her hand and put it in her little mouth and took a bite. "Well, it smells so good."
"What are you still standing there?"
"Uh... I can't eat it anymore." Lin Dong said with a frown.
"Idiot, who told you to eat it? Pay quickly and get the things done. Let's go to the famous ice cream shop in front."
After saying that, Miss Jessica jumped out while eating the egg tart.
"Young man, is this your girlfriend?" the shop owner handed Lin Dong a basket full of pastries and asked.
Lin Dong handed him a note worth 1,000 pesos, "Don't look for it anymore, that's my sister."
The boss took the money and showed a treacherous smile on his face, "I understand, I understand, I also had many 'sisters' when I was young. You sister is quite beautiful, I think you have seen it somewhere."
Well…
Lin Dong hurriedly ran out with a basket.
"Why are you so slow? What are you talking to that boss?" Jessica asked with Lin Dong's arm in her arms and her head pressed against Lin Dong's shoulder.
Lin Dong only felt a little fever on his face because his arms seemed to be in contact with a round substance, soft and elastic. Miss Jessica is already sixteen years old and her development is extremely satisfactory. The place where it should be protruding is protruding, and the place where it should be protruding is protruding, but her childhood face has not changed, and her temper is like a little girl.
"Oh, he treats us as lovers and keeps praising you for being beautiful."
Jessica was secretly happy and hugged Lin Dong's arm tighter.
"He has the eyesight."
Lin Dong was speechless and had to pretend that he didn't hear it.
Lin Dong was busy with war bonds these days. Now everything is the only way to go. The spokesperson for war bonds has not been selected. According to the meaning of these big guys, Miss Jessica, the most famous girl star in the mainland, is of course the first choice. As for the persuasion work, naturally fell on Lin Dong's head.
Who made Lin Dong and Jessica have had a scandal?
"Jessica, how much do you usually endorse a brand?" Lin Dong asked.
"That's not necessarily the case. It depends on what brand it is endorsed, how long it is, how many press conferences it needs to be attended, how many sets of photos it takes, how many questions you ask? Didn't this teach me?" Jessica asked in confusion.
"It's nothing. The Empire wants to issue a bond. I hope you will be the spokesperson. Your Majesty asked me to ask you what you mean." Lin Dong said as he walked.
Jessica suddenly stopped and felt a little aggrieved, "It turns out you came to me for work today. I thought, I thought..."
"It's bad!" Lin Dong said in his heart. Lin Dong was not stupid. Miss Jessica had some feelings for him. Of course, Lin Dong knew that. Fortunately, Lin Dong was not slow and hurriedly added: "I originally planned to send Sosby, the Ministry of Interior to talk to you. I thought this was a chance to meet you. I must not miss it, so I turned down all the affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs and came to you without hesitation. Why? You don't seem to be very happy?"
Miss Jessica was already so aggrieved that she was almost crying. When she heard Lin Dong turn down all the work to see him, she laughed again, "Good! Of course I'm happy! If they send someone else, I'm not happy. As for you, you can do whatever you say, I will listen to you."
When Jessica's handsome little face turned red like a fever when she said the words "I listen to you in everything." She lowered her head and stared at the road, her voice was low and she couldn't hear.
call…
Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "Girls are more sensitive, so you should pay more attention in the future."
Some people feel bored the longer they are in contact, while others feel closer the longer they are in contact.
Lin Dong and Jessica undoubtedly belong to the latter. The somewhat stubborn Jessica will unconsciously become very ladylike in front of Lin Dong, and there is no lack of concern and obedience in her naughtyness, which makes Lin Dongji like it. And Lin Dong's maturity and wisdom that far exceeds his peers also make Jessica particularly fascinated.
Ye Zi and Jessica, these two girls have their own strengths, one is outward-looking and the other is introverted. They are both good at harming the country and the people, and their character is impeccable. Lin Dong feels that it would be in vain to have such a thing in life, two confidants in life.
The most important thing is that when Lin Dong met them, he had no money or power. Speaking of wealth, the two girls had a much greater family background than Lin Dong. When he thought of this, Lin Dong, who had some big men's ideas, was very ashamed.
Lin Dong is now the prince of the empire. If any girl posted it at this time, Lin Dong would first consider the other party's motives. Jessica and Ye Zi were undoubtedly with Lin Dong not for money and power. This simple relationship is particularly precious.
The two of them walked intimately on the street. The crowd around them cast envious eyes. Turning around the corner was a quiet path. There was a green pine tree planted on both sides of the road. The sunset was slanted, and the long shadows of trees covered the path a little dimly. There was no one on the road paved with bluestone. Only a few magpies bowed their heads to find food on the side of the road. When they saw someone coming, several magpies spread their wings and flew away shyly.
Jessica snuggled tightly beside Lin Dong, walking side by side on this poetic and picturesque path, a little fascinated.
"You said that when we get old, how beautiful will it be when we walk on the country road like this?" Jessica said softly.
"It's good, but unfortunately, the threat of the gods and people must be resolved first, otherwise everything will turn into a bubble." Lin Dong said in a deep voice.
"What kind of war is talking about at this time? You are romantic at all." Jessica said with some complaints.
Lin Dong sighed: "There is no way, who told me that I am a soldier now?"
Jessica suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Dong. Her moving eyes were staring at Lin Dong. Lin Dong was a little furry because Jessica's arms were tightly hugging him, and a pair of soft and fragrant jade rabbits were pressed against his chest.
Whether in the past or present life, Lin Dong was blank about love. Now General Lin is at a loss, his forehead is a little sweaty, and his heart is beating disobediently.
Jessica slowly closed her eyes, her slender eyelashes jumped, and her chin was slightly raised. She was waiting, waiting for Lin Dong to hug her tightly like a normal man and kiss her. "This is someone's first kiss, you have to do it slowly." Jessica thought.
Lin Dong felt an impulse surge in his heart and his whole body became hot.
"Idiot! Why are you still standing there? Kiss her quickly! The opportunity is not missed!" Mr. Gui's words sounded in Lin Dong's consciousness, and he seemed to be even more excited than Lin Dong himself.
Lin Dong suddenly felt very discouraged. Someone was watching this kind of thing, and no one would feel comfortable. Soon, the discomfort turned into goosebumps all over his body, because a girl came across the road. When they saw each other clearly, Lin Dong couldn't help but shout, "Yezi!"
"You're finished now." Old Gui shook his head and sighed.
Jessica failed to wait for Lin Dong's long-awaited kiss, but instead waited for Lin Dong to call a woman's name.
Jessica opened her eyes and turned to look at Ye Zi, her eyes full of confusion.
Lin Dong wanted to find a crack in the ground at this moment. The air was extremely awkward and seemed to be about to condense.
Ye Zi is used to walking home. She likes this secluded path very much. In order to walk this path, she would rather go around more. Today, as usual, Ye Zi packed up her things and walked home. Unexpectedly, she bumped into this scene.
The awkward atmosphere continued. Lin Dong took two steps and stood between Ye Zi and Jessica, "Ye Zi, this is Jessica, Jessica, this is Ye Zi, they are all friends."
Lin Dong suddenly wanted to slap himself twice, both of them were friends? What is this explanation?
Ye Zi nodded gently, and although his heart was like a knife, he was still polite.
The clever Jessica immediately understood what was going on. Although she cursed Lin Dong's bastard in her heart, she still walked up to Ye Zi with a smile and grabbed Ye Zi's hand, "So you are Sister Ye Zi. Brother Lin often talks about you in front of me, always saying that you are beautiful and kind, but I didn't expect you to be much more beautiful than Brother Lin said."
Ye Zi was relatively simple in her mind, and she was suspicious, but she relaxed a little bit, "Miss Jessica has gone too far."
"Brother Lin, this big radish in his heart, actually hides you so deeply. Sister Ye Zi, we finally met today. Let's have a meal together, right?"
After saying that, Jessica took Ye Zi's hand and walked out, ignoring Lin Dong at all.
"I…?"
Jessica turned around and made a face at Lin Dong, "Brother Lin, didn't you say you still have a job? Just go and do it."
After saying that, Jessica pulled Ye Zi and left straight. Ye Zi looked back at Lin Dong without saying anything.
Lin Dong was left on the secluded path alone, which was like acting in a movie. Just now, Lin Dong was hugging one and thinking about the other, full of happiness, and in the blink of an eye, he became a lonely man. The two girls threw themselves here and left together!
What's this called?
"Lin Dong, you're done this time. You're on two boats. In the end, you're not drowned yourself without the dock. You're stupid." Old Gui kept clamoring in Lin Dong's consciousness, making Lin Dong very upset.
Sighing, Lin Dong walked aimlessly along the road, thinking about the next plan of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau and trying not to think about Ye Zi and Jessica.
Now Kane has served as deputy commander of the Purple Flame Legion. Although this person has become a little more perverse, he is really a good player when it comes to training. The first thing he did when he arrived at the Purple Flame Legion was to gather all the officers to train.
The training methods were all-out. After two days, those soft-boys who did not meet the requirements had already retreated. They were training with real swords and guns. They would never be able to stand up without a few tricks. They would not be able to be brave enough to have the ability to be desperate. Lin Dong was very satisfied with him after watching his two bloody training sessions. The matter of the Purple Flame Legion can be given to him for the time being, and the burden on Lin Dong's shoulders was also relaxed.
The next step is to consider the renewal of weapons. In the past few days, the well-known and unknown factories in the mainland have received invitations from the Imperial Military Affairs Department to invite them to go to the imperial capital Shangtan bulk trade matters the day after tomorrow, from shuttle car factories to factories producing towels and soaps, they are all interested in this military procurement. The military has already made a statement that the amount of the order this time will reach ten trillion pesos!
Such a large amount of military procurement caused those long-sleeved and danced merchants to drool. Before the procurement conference began, Lin Dong had already received countless notes from entrusting their connections to the back door, giving gifts and treating meals, and some even brought in the whole box of cash to Lin Dong.
In the end, Lin Dong simply came and disappeared without a trace, and his ears fell into purity.
Lin Dong's mind was immersed in the thoughts of many things. He even forgot how long he had been away. He looked up and looked around. The night was already dark, and he didn't know where he had walked.
The snacks I ate in the afternoon had already been digested, and Lin Dong's stomach began to protest again.
I picked up a restaurant and sat down. This area was a bustling city. For some reason, there was no customer in this restaurant, which seemed extremely deserted. Lin Dong didn't care, just wanted to be quiet. As for the food, it almost almost seemed. Anyway, even the exquisite food was very common in Lin Dong's eyes.
After sitting for a long time, the waiter came to Lin Dong's table with a slight slanted hat and a white work clothes that were extremely greasy, as if they had just been caught from a ditch.
Bang!
Lin Dong felt very unhappy when a menu was thrown on the table by the waiter.
This menu is not just from a year ago. The pages of the paper have turned yellow, and many of the handwritings are covered by stains, so I can't see clearly.
Lin Dong simply closed the menu and said, "If you have any delicious food, just serve it casually. If you have a bottle of the best wine, don't save money for me."
The young waiter glanced at Lin Dong, put away the menu and walked into the inner hall.
Lin Dong looked around. The walls of the hotel were already mottled, the old wallpaper fell off one after another, and three of the six spotlights above his head were broken. The granite ground was dirty and the original color was no longer visible. The quality of the tables, chairs and benches was good. Unfortunately, either a few legs or a corner was missing. Such a restaurant has not closed yet. It is a great pleasure to open in the bustling downtown area. It is not too cold.
The restaurant was very cold and served at a slow pace. After a while, four dishes and one soup were placed on the table, two meats and two vegetables, and one bowl of eight treasure seafood soup. Lin Dong smelled the smell with his nose and was extremely shocked.
If you want to talk about the characteristics, these dishes have one super flaw, that is, they are too ugly. Chinese food emphasizes both color, fragrance and taste, and color is ranked first. If these dishes were placed in Lin Dong's previous life, they would not have tasted them.
Take this saurying liver tip for example. The saury tip is already darker in color, so the heat should not be too much, and the sauce should not be too thick. Light brown liver tip and golden sauce can be added to stimulate the appetite of diners.
But this sautum of liver is a piece of black charcoal. Who can eat a piece of black charcoal on the plate?
Not to mention the appearance, the aroma of these dishes is very appetizing. Lin Dong was puzzled. He picked up a stick of shrimp with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He bit it and felt a crispy feeling. In an instant, the fragrance of river shrimp came to his nose, which was mixed with the unique freshness of the lotus, as if he was in a stream with flowing water, playing with fish and shrimps.
