Chapter 168 The last time I got drunk was about a hundred years ago?
"By the way, why are you at Columbia University?"
Yan Fuguang also didn't expect to see him at the award ceremony today.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yingzhou just smiled and said nothing.
After not hearing the answer for a long time, Yan Fuguang couldn't help but look away from the window.
Ji Yingzhou's neat profile profile was clearly reflected in her eyes.
It has been almost two years since we first met him by chance on a plane. From the first time we met, I am still amazed now. This man really has a face that you will never forget.
"What are you looking at?"
With Yan Fuguang looking at him like this, Ji Yingzhou felt that the temperature in the car was getting a little higher.
"Looking at you."
Such a frank answer made Ji Yingzhou turn around subconsciously, and a pair of smiling eyes struck into his heart.
In the narrow space, there were only two of them at this time, and every time their eyes met, it was like a flame was ignited.
Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere in the car was different from just now.
A little sticky, and a little dazed.
Koenigsegg was speeding through New York City and soon arrived at Seventh Avenue and 51st Street.
On the glass-roofed corridor extending to the roadside, the words "Le Bernardin" are printed discreetly on it.
"Le Bernardin?"
A three-star Michelin restaurant that has been famous in New York for more than ten years, Yan Fuguang has heard of this name.
After closing the car door and walking over, Ji Yingzhou looked at the girl in front of him and raised the corners of his mouth: "Well, congratulations on your winning the award."
Yan Fuguang couldn't help but laugh and said: "So you knew I was going to win the award a month ago?"
Reservations for this restaurant must be made at least one month in advance. Is it possible that this person can predict the future?
Ji Yingzhou didn't mind Yan Fuguang's teasing, with a gentle smile on his eyes and eyebrows: "I believe the Philippine Prize must be yours. If not, today's meal should be regarded as mourning for another batch of blind people in the world."
The melodious laughter rippled in Ji Yingzhou's ears. Looking at the girl in front of him, whose eyebrows were crooked and wet at the corners, it seemed that all his worries had been soothed away.
It was just after five o'clock when the two arrived, before nightfall, and dinner had just begun.
Bernardin has always been known as the "Palace of Seafood" and has received numerous accolades in New York and even around the world over the past few decades.
Also because it specializes in seafood, it probably has the largest variety of white wines in the world.
Ji Yingzhou gently pushed the wine list and looked at Yan Fuguang with questioning eyes: "Would you like a drink?"
Bernardine's wine list is unexpectedly concise and simple, covering almost the top white wine brands in the world on two thin pages, including Chateau Lefleur of different vintages, Romanée-Conti...
It’s really a dazzling array of things to see.
Yan Fuguang suddenly discovered something. She seemed to have never tasted alcohol since she came to this world?
His slender fingertips slid across the wine list, stopping at a random spot, and the waiter left in response.
The right side of the restaurant is covered by a glass dome, and the two of them are seated by the window. Looking out, they can have a panoramic view of the Manhattan skyline.
There is always an endless stream of Michelin customers. The restaurant had just opened when the two came, and now, the first batch of diners in the evening had already arrived.
The beautiful clashing sounds of knives and forks with dishes, the clashing of wine glasses ringing like silver bells, delicious food and beautiful scenery can always bring people extraordinary satisfaction and enjoyment.
Yellow fin tuna is sliced paper-thin, served with foie gras and crispy toast, pickled vegetables and crispy kombu.
The heat of the fried amberjack is controlled to the last minute. The surface layer is fried until golden and the alluring aroma wafts out. The inner layer of fish meat is fully cooked and reveals beautiful white lines. It gradually transitions to the raw fish in the center, which seems to be filled with sea water.
smell.
The crispy black sea bass has an unexpected Chinese style, with the familiar green onion, ginger and black bean sauce, plus Western-style seafood sauce for seasoning, making it complex and harmonious.
The Montrachet Grand Cru Dry White sparkles with bright golden light in the wine glass. Take a sip and it is not strong, not exciting, and has a graceful and mellow aroma.
"You haven't told me yet, why are you at the award ceremony today?"
Yan Fuguang gently pressed the back of his right hand against his chin, and shook the goblet with his left hand. His eyes fell on Ji Yingzhou like a clear spring in a mountain stream.
With a smooth and white face showing a sharp and cold look, deep black eyes, a high bridge of nose, and a clean jawline, this man is truly a masterpiece of the Creator.
Little did he know that in Ji Yingzhou's eyes, under the quiet light at this moment, Yan Fuguang was the seductive fairy, extremely beautiful and unrestrained.
He lowered his eyes, smiled softly, and his mellow voice penetrated into Yan Fuguang's ears.
"I want to witness all your shining moments."
The heartstrings were gently tapped, and a rare charm suddenly appeared on the beautiful face.
Originally, he was like an immortal who conquered the country and the city, but now he has become a bit of a human being.
Yan Fuguang didn't say anything. He raised his glass and Ji Yingzhou touched it with her with a smile.
With the fine wine in your throat, there are more than a thousand different styles.
I don't know if it's because it's been too long since I've tasted alcohol, or because tonight's night is particularly intoxicating, but after two and a half cups, Yan Fuguang actually felt a little dazed.
And when she brought the wine glass to her lips again, the man's warm palm grasped her bright wrist.
It only takes a second for the scalding temperature of his skin to flow back to Ji Yingzhou's heart along his blood. Fortunately, the dim lighting in the restaurant hid the depth of his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
The slightly drunk Yan Fuguang probably didn't notice the coquettishness in his tone.
Ji Yingzhou has never seen her like this before, and he only hopes that no other person will ever see her except him.
"You're drunk."
Ji Yingzhou's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking up the lovely drunk girl in front of him.
Yan Fuguang's watery eyes moved, finally focusing on the "beauty" in front of him, and chuckled, she was really chic and noble.
"I'm not drunk, how could I be!"
Yan Fufeng thought about it carefully, then tilted his head and told Ji Yingzhou seriously: "The last time I got drunk was probably more than a hundred years ago?"
She also counted on her fingers, and finally confirmed: "Well, one hundred and thirty-two years ago, if I remember correctly."
Ji Yingzhou finally couldn't hold it back any longer, and Yan Fuguang's warm and magnetic laughter enveloped him.
"why are you laughing?"
Yan Fuguang didn't understand.
She suddenly moved closer, and the distance between the two was only 30 centimeters. She even reached out to touch the slightly curved corners of Ji Yingzhou's eyes and asked again.
"What are you laughing at~"
The beauty is as beautiful as an orchid, with the faint fragrance of wine, making Ji Yingzhou stiff for a moment.
He didn't know that Yan Fuguang would look like this after drinking, so...cute?
What is even more difficult to conceal is her graceful figure that she has never deliberately shown.
When Yan Fuguang was almost leaning into his arms, Ji Yingzhou felt as if the person in front of him was burning like a ball of fire.
"I laugh at myself... I haven't been fully prepared for your lethality until today."
The words that sounded a bit convoluted made Yan Fuguang slightly stunned. His porcelain-white face was fixed in front of Ji Yingzhou's eyes. His right hand was almost raised, but finally landed gently on the armrest.
"How about we stop drinking?"
The man's voice was indescribably tender, even with a hint of begging.
Yan Fuguang understood this sentence, and looked back at the bottle with more than half left...
Stop drinking? Why?
With this thought in mind, she also asked, her tone full of coquettishness.
Ji Yingzhou never imagined that one day Yan Fuguang would act coquettishly towards him, but now that it really happened, he finally realized what pain and happiness are.
She was obviously not squeamish, and her voice was not as sweet as others thought, but it was like pouring a whole jar of honey into his heart, so sweet that it was crazy!
Yan Fuguang just looked up at him. Suddenly, Ji Yingzhou's voice came to his ears. It was a bit low and hoarse, but also had an indescribable charm.
"I'm afraid I'll go crazy if I drink any more!"
I don’t know whether Yan Fuguang understood it or not, but she looked at Ji Yingzhou with a smile for a long time, her red lips slightly parted.
"Okay~"
