"Fuck God, Antonio, you are such a mean person. You lost the game, but you put such stupid words as judging people by their appearance on my head. Even God will be disgusted by your filthiness!"
"Snapped--"
Li Tao, who had been keeping an eye on this place, saw this scene and his pupils shrank sharply.
Antonio slapped Sharapova in the face mercilessly, leaving a black handprint on her fair skin.
Antonio's face was gloomy, his expression was more terrifying than ever before: "When you insult a person's beliefs, be prepared to die."
The black handprint of the Mafia means a fight to the death.
Sharapova was totally confused about the situation. She screamed hysterically: "Antonio, you are crazy! You are possessed by the devil!!!"
Antonio walked forward and grabbed her neck, and at this moment, his back was facing Li Tao.
When Sharapova finished speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up in a satisfied arc, his goal was achieved. If Li Tao didn't have any inspiration at all, he would not be worthy of competing with the terrifying group of top giants behind him.
Sharapova was almost suffocated. Her face flushed and her blue eyes were filled with bloodshot. She stared at Antonio, wishing she could kill this scum with her eyes.
"What on earth are you acting in?"
Li Tao put his hand on the back of Antonio's hand and slowly pried his hand off Sharapova's neck.
After Li Tao shook his hand away, Antonio put on his white gloves again calmly with a faint smile on his face.
"As you can see."
"You can't speak human language, right?" Li Tao threatened coldly.
Antonio glanced at the people hiding from the rain on the beach without leaving a trace. A trace of struggle flashed across his face, and finally he just pursed his lips and said, "As you can see."
He paused and continued, "Anyway, my relationship with her has broken down, so there's no need to compete for the best couple. Let's go. I'm alone and not suitable for this kind of occasion. May God give me a new encounter~"
Antonio didn't even look at Sharapova, and walked towards the steps leading off the beach without looking back.
The raindrops were very big and hitting my body made me feel suffocated.
Antonio licked his lips and said with some regret: "What a pity! If it hadn't rained, I would have given him enough hints through the game, and I wouldn't have had to throw away such a fragile gun mount, wasting so much energy, and not even one shot hit..."
……
Sharapova's eyes were red and swollen, and the big raindrops wet her golden hair in a moment.
Li Tao looked at her calmly without saying anything. At this moment, he was still wondering whether Antonio and Sharapova were acting together.
"You stopped him just now, so I owe you that. I'll pay you back when I get myself back in control."
After Sharapova finished speaking, she left without looking back. However, even though she was a foreign girl who had received an open education, she could not get rid of the shadow cast by Antonio's stimulation for a while.
Li Tao raised his head, looked at the rain falling from the clouds, and murmured: "Faith... Demonic possession..."
Li Tao's eyebrows twitched, and his voice was uncertain: "Brainwashed?"
"Baoer, it's raining heavily. Let's go back to the hotel and have lunch first. We can hide from the rain at the same time. It's already one o'clock and it's time to eat."
Liu Inna came over, took Li Tao's hand, and left with him.
Seeing this, Li Manzi also ran to the other side of Li Tao in small steps, took his arm and said, "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll buy it for you!"
Xiangxue looked at Li Tao, who was trapped in the Shura field and had a splitting headache, and curled her lips.
She turned around, closed her eyes, lazily embraced the sea, and said with a serene smile on her face: "What a stinky boy who doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings he has."
Chapter 180 Hot Pot Shura Field
The voucher issued by the hospital belongs to a hot spring hotel. The voucher not only includes hot springs and accommodation, but also comes with two meals a day.
Hot pot at noon and seafood buffet at night.
The hotpot restaurant is quite unique, and many people who come here for the first time will feel as if they have walked into a morgue, freezing cold.
Although it was raining at sea, it was still a hot early September, so the rain made the room even more stuffy.
But the temperature in the hot pot restaurant is really very cold. The hot pot tables are all placed against the wall, and then two sofas sandwich the tables in front and back. Two people can sit on one sofa, so four people can dine privately and comfortably.
I don’t know where the store owner got the idea from, but he equipped each table with a wall-mounted air conditioner, which is attached to the wall. From a distance, it looks like a long row of air conditioners.
It blows directly at people's heads. It is not a central air conditioner like that on the ceiling, but the kind that hangs on the wall in the bedroom at home.
The hot pot was bubbling and boiling, and the white mist and hot air collided with the cold air as soon as it came out, and turned into water droplets and fell into a special water reservoir.
Li Manzi sat on a soft sofa, staring fiercely at the couple at another table two rows away with a fierce look on her face. It was unknown what kind of deep hatred she had, but the chopsticks in her hand stirred the whole piece of tofu into tofu pudding.
She murmured in a self-doubting tone: "It's impossible. How can this bad woman have the money to eat here?"
According to the fact that Liu Renna had previously asked her to introduce a job, Li Manzi initially thought that she could only take Li Tao to a food stall.
By then, Li Manzi will hook her little hand and bring Li Tao to this high-end restaurant, and the two of them will be so affectionate and feed each other that the old woman Liu Renna will be so mad.
But things went against her wishes. This hot pot restaurant was the highest standard among those near the beach. She could only follow Yoo In Na in and then be bullied away by her.
The angry Li Manzi went out and felt aggrieved for a while. After calming down, she ran back in dejectedly and found a seat near Li Tao's table and sat down.
"Xue'er, how do you think Liu Renna makes money? Did she use some improper means, such as selling her body?"
Li Manzi had already begun to make malicious speculations, but Xiangxue didn't care. She waved towards the front desk, signaling a waiter to come.
"I remember Liu Renna said that no matter how poor you are, you should not be poor with your children. As for the improper means, I think robbing money or threatening with violence is in line with her style. As for selling your body and other nonsense, you can just fantasize about it in your mind, boss."
"Uh... Woo..." The frustrated Li Manzi could only suppress her anger by drawing out the sound in her throat like a puppy.
The waiter came over with a tray and said, "Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"
Xiangxue pointed to the air conditioner that was less than a meter away from the dining table and said, "Where is the remote control for this air conditioner? Let me adjust the temperature. It's too cold."
She was different from Li Manzi, who could only fall asleep by holding an air conditioner every night. This air conditioner exhaled white mist visible to the naked eye, pressing on people's scalps, making them shiver with cold.
"I'm sorry ma'am, the temperature of this air conditioner cannot be adjusted."
"Can't adjust it? The air conditioner at our table is broken?"
"That's not the case. This is the specialty of our store. All air conditioners are at this temperature."
Xiangxue was a little confused: "Features? This air conditioner is installed too low. I sit on the sofa and raise my arm, and you can see that I can touch it. It blows directly at my head."
The waiter smiled and explained: "This was designed by our boss. He once cooked a hot pot alone on the snowy mountain with great effort..."
The owner of this hot pot restaurant is also a remarkable man. He encountered an avalanche that time and was shivering with cold after he survived. He killed a fox with his bare hands in the snow, and then used his knife and the tools he carried with him to make a bowl of hot pot with miraculous skills.
It was extremely difficult to light a fire in that environment, but he was able to boil water and eat hot pot. It was simply outrageous.
He's probably a monster. After all, all the businesses in Luma University are run by students. Maybe he's a top-ranked boss in a certain college.
Recalling that time, the boss described his feeling more than once, which was like being in two different worlds, like a last glimmer of hope, between death and life.
The skin was already stiff, but once the meat from the boiling pot went down my throat, it was delicious.
Hot inside and cold outside.
In order to provide the kind of freezing environment that people would have at that time, he specially installed this kind of air conditioner that blows directly towards people.
"That's about it, but don't worry, miss. Our store has also planned the temperature reasonably. It won't cause harm to the human body. And if you take something from the hot pot, you can just get into that state of neither hot nor cold, or both hot and cold."
"What's wrong...well, then I have to keep eating?" Xiangxue was so angry that she burst into tears.
"Yes, it goes well with rice."
Xiangxue pointed at her, so angry that she couldn't say a word. If she were outside the school, she would be a senior white-collar worker with an annual income of nearly 10 million. How could she possibly suffer such torture in a restaurant?
Li Manzi didn't notice the conflict between Xiangxue and the waiter. She still pouting her lips, stirring the tofu pudding with chopsticks, staring at Li Tao without blinking.
"You bad woman, you took possession of a married man, and you dared to pick up food for my man! You are humiliating me!"
Although Li Manzi's voice was very low, Xiangxue, who had been her secretary for many years, could hear it clearly.
This reminded Xiangxue of something. Wasn't it Li Tao who was to blame for the fact that she had to suffer in this stupid restaurant?
Because he was eating here, Li Manzi insisted on sitting in and watching, so she was forced to follow.
"go away."
Xiangxue pushed the waiter aside and went straight to Li Tao's table!
Then, under Li Manzi's incredulous gaze, he sat on the same sofa with Li Tao!
Li Tao was also dumbfounded. He and Aunt Liu were eating face to face, but his eyes were always on Li Manzi and her servant.
He did think that Li Manzi might not be able to help but sit over, but he never expected that Xiangxue would actually... actually sit down right next to him.
Xiangxue's white and smooth arm pressed against Li Tao's arm, and her cool skin made Li Tao's heart tremble.
"I am cold."
Xiangxue turned her head to look at Li Tao. Although her voice was still as cool as that of a cold sister, and she sounded cold and indifferent as if she was very independent, her eyes did not say that.
Xiangxue's eyes rarely revealed the feeling of helplessness and loss that required her boyfriend's protection.
She put her hand on Li Tao's thigh, palm facing up, meaning that she wanted him to hold her hand.
Aunt Liu was right in front of him, and Li Tao was also panicked. He couldn't figure out what happened to Xiangxue.
Liu Renna couldn't imagine that the person sitting in this position was Xiangxue.
But the complicated emotions in Xiangxue's eyes made Li Tao reluctant to play dumb, not to mention there was a table blocking the way.
Li Tao swallowed some water, pressed his big hand into Xiangxue's palm, and held it tightly through his fingers.
"Why do you come to our side and stick to my man?" Aunt Liu said with anger, shaking.
If it were Li Manzi, she would have overturned the hot pot directly, but this was Xiangxue. Although Aunt Liu didn't like her, she at least didn't hate her either, because Xiangxue had never shown any love or... possessiveness towards Li Tao.
She had been standing quietly by the side, watching Li Manzi and Liu Renna fighting each other around Li Tao.
Aunt Liu's words made Li Tao's hands tremble, but he did not let go of Xiangxue. Instead, he held her even tighter.
Li Tao's reaction made Xiangxue's eyes red. She lowered her brows and remained silent for a while before she pushed the tears back into her eyes.
In fact, she regretted it and was afraid the moment she sat down. The cold-blooded temperament of an executioner in Liu Inna would scare anyone.
The main reason was that it was already time for dinner and she was very hungry. The air conditioner was turned on so cold that Xiangxue couldn't eat at all. Hunger makes people irritable and do irrational things.
She didn't want to make things difficult for Li Tao, but Li Tao moved her again.
For the first time, she felt somewhat safe with her boyfriend.
"It's too cold. Let's sit together to keep warm."
