Chapter 838 Now that We Are Here
As Zhang Qiang said, the further you drive, the more prosperous it becomes.
The streets are crowded with people, all laughing and smiling, as if they are not much different from the Gaohe River on Lanxing.
If Lin Fan had not witnessed the desolation outside the city with his own eyes, and had just passed through the dilapidated poverty-stricken area and landed here at the beginning, he might have thought that nothing had happened on this planet and everything was normal.
Further ahead, in the direction of the towering high-rise buildings, the lights are even brighter, and the neon lights are flashing, making it difficult to connect everything in front of you with the end of the world. The illusion of luxury and extravagance reveals the madness before destruction.
Zhang Qiang parked the car in front of a three-story villa with familiarity.
The villa occupies a large area, with a single floor of more than 400 square meters. Standing at the door, you can see the high-rise building with flashing lights not far away.
There are not many villas in this community, and they are far apart. It's a pity that the original large area of green space has been cleared away, which looks monotonous and bleak.
But judging from the wide road in front of the door, the shops, hospitals, schools and other public facilities on the roadside, the price will not be too low before the end of the world.
Zhang Qiang ruthlessly drove out the several charming women who rushed out of the villa, groveled and took them to choose rooms, and neatly packed up the things left by the original owner...
When Lin Fan took a comfortable shower, changed into the clean clothes in the space bracelet and went downstairs, Antonio was already sitting at the big table in the restaurant. Hot food was already on the table.
"Hey! Are you here?" Antonio looked up and greeted, "Come on, come on, Miss Lan's cooking skills are really good."
Lan Bingru, with slightly wet hair, just came out of the kitchen with dishes and smiled at Lin Fan. "Sister Lin, if you don't mind, please try my cooking."
Zhang Qiang came out from nowhere and pulled a chair in front of Lin Fan to flatter her, "Sister Lin, sit down."
"Go wash up quickly," Lin Fan covered her nose and sat down, "This smell is really strong."
"Yes, yes, yes," Zhang Qiang quickly stepped back a few steps, explaining with a smile, "Just now I was afraid that you were hungry, so I helped Miss Lan find ingredients. I'll go wash it now, you guys eat and drink well."
After saying that, he ran away. Fearing that the smell on his body would make Lin Fan unhappy, he chopped him with a sword.
Lin Fan looked at the food on the table. The raw materials looked different from those on Lanxing, and she couldn't even name them, but most of them were meat and vegetables fried in oil, and the staple food looked like pasta.
Seeing Antonio eating enthusiastically, he shouldn't make a mistake.
Although she wasn't hungry, she couldn't help but want to try something new. What about the food on a strange planet? Isn't it the same as experiencing the local characteristics when traveling?
Besides, he had to hide it in front of ordinary people, so he picked up the fork beside him, put a bite into his mouth neatly, and gave a thumbs up to Lan Bingru's expectant eyes.
"Yeah, it's delicious."
Lan Bingru smiled so hard that her teeth were not visible, and went back to the kitchen.
Antonio raised his head from the plate and asked with a smile, "Is it really delicious or fake?"
It's no secret that Lin Fan has no sense of taste. If she really thinks it's delicious, it would be a great joy.
"Hey!" Lin Fan took another fork of vegetables, "You said it's good, so what's wrong with me saying it's delicious? You can show off in front of girls, but I can't be a good person?"
Antonio is a bit of a natural playboy. He looks good and has a good personality. It may be related to the education he received since childhood. He is particularly...how to say, gentlemanly, or considerate to girls, which makes it easy for girls to have a good impression.
But to say that he is a scumbag, it's not to the point. I haven't seen him pour special feelings into anyone, and if the other party has a misunderstanding, he will directly explain it. Everyone was clear from the beginning to the end, so it was not a lie. You can't say that being gentle to girls is wrong, right?
In his own words, he is "romantic but not vulgar".
Jin Sichen told Lin Fan to stop thinking about it. They are all adults, and it's a matter of love, and outsiders should not interfere.
Besides, Antonio looks detached, but he is actually very capable and his character is pretty good.
If he hadn't shown up when Zhugang was attacked, Zhugang would have become a ruin. He also exposed his mecha because of this...
Lin Fan thought about it. Yes, she is not his mother, why should she worry about that? As long as Antonio doesn't cause trouble, why can't he be gentle to other girls?
"What are you saying?" Antonio shook his fork with a look of disapproval, "I didn't show it..."
"You are born with this personality..." Lin Fan dragged out his words, "I know, eat yours quickly, and describe it to me, what it tastes like..."
Lan Bingru brought the last dish to the table and saw the two of them laughing and chatting while eating. The relaxed atmosphere reminded her of her friends before the end of the world...
"Why are you standing?" Lin Fan saw her standing in front of the table with a plate in her hand, motionless, with nostalgia on her face, and reached out to push Antonio, "Quick, take it, let Xiaolan rest."
Antonio had already stood up and reached out. "Do you want me to tell you?"
Lan Bingru quickly put down the plate and touched her face. There were no tears. She hid her smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..."
"No more food, right?" Antonio sat down nonchalantly and said to her with a smile, "Then you should sit down quickly. You've been busy for so long."
"I..." Lan Bingru was a little confused and crossed her clothes with her hands, and looked at Lin Fan again.
How could she sit at the same table with the big guys? It was too disrespectful.
"Sit down and eat together," Lin Fan waved at her, "We eat together on the road, don't be shy. We are all easy-going."
Lan Bingru saw it, bit her lip, and sat down obediently, carefully asking them how the food tasted. After getting a positive answer, she sat more firmly.
Lin Fan curiously asked about the cooking methods of these dishes, Lan Bingru answered in detail, Antonio made jokes, and the atmosphere at the table gradually became harmonious.
Zhang Qiang cleaned himself up as quickly as possible and ran back.
"Sister Lin, Brother An. Hehe." He stood at the table without sitting down, with his hands folded in front of his lower abdomen, slightly bent over, and smiled at them.
Antonio glanced at Lan Bingru, who looked normal, and invited people to sit down. "You sit down too, you've worked hard these days."
"I dare not, I dare not." Zhang Qiang said he dared not, but sat down quickly, but the seat was a little distance away from Lin Fan and Lan Bingru, so he didn't dare to sit next to them.
Zhang Qiang's arrival seemed to interrupt a certain rhythm, or perhaps it affected Lan Bingru's mood, and no one spoke at the table for a while.
He hurriedly stuffed a few bites of food in panic and asked carefully. "Sister Lin, Brother An, now we are in the city, what are your plans?"
What plans can Antonio and Lin Fan have? They just want to find a place to take a shower. There is no human connection here, and they can leave at any time.
Zhang Qiang looked as if he had expected it. After hesitating for a while, he still spoke. "Penang is a long way, and we need to prepare a lot of things, such as cars, supplies, and routes. It takes some time to exchange and plan."
"Then..." Lin Fan and Antonio looked at each other. Do they have to do all this? She had never done it before.
"Don't worry, I will prepare these." Zhang Qiang promised confidently, "Everything in this villa can be cleaned and exchanged. You two can go around the city these days and treat it as sightseeing. I'm not bragging, the entertainment industry here is really good. Now that you are here, it would be a pity not to go and see it."
Yes, now that you are here.
Lin Fan nodded. She had to get the achievement of being here before she could leave.
She looked at Antonio's interested face and thought, I hope there won't be any trouble.
