Outside the car window, dawn broke, and a red sun jumped out from the eastern horizon.
There were milk, fried eggs, and fried meat on the small round table. There were two small sofas made of blue and white plaid. Lu Ming sat on one and Nicole sat on the other.
Seeing Nicole's well-behaved look, Lu Ming felt funny.
Last night, with great perseverance, I wrapped myself in a corner of the quilt, and solemnly told Nicole that I would give myself half a year to think about it. During this period, I was not allowed to do anything to tease myself. Otherwise, not only would I not be able to have a relationship with her,
Lovers may also be enemies.
This is half true and half false. To be honest, my body feels abnormal now. It is not a normal person's body, so I am a little convinced by Bizhu's words. After half a year, I will naturally see the difference.
Perhaps feeling that she was being serious, Nicole thought for a while and agreed. Furthermore, she went down to put on her pajamas and pajamas and slept on the sofa.
Even now, she wears pink home clothes and even socks, wrapping herself tightly.
But I didn't sleep well all night. Although Nicole had only been lying in the quilt for a while, the fragrance was already filled with her scent.
Even the carriage was filled with a light fragrance at this time, and it was the kind of fragrance that arouses men's hormones.
"Brother, look at this!" Nicole took out a piece of paper and a beautiful pen from behind and placed them on the round table.
Lu Ming picked it up casually and took a look, and couldn't help but be startled.
It is a contract. The general content is that within 180 days from today, Nicole will no longer expect any physical contact with Lu Qianxing, and will do her best to prevent Lu Qianxing from touching her and having immoral thoughts. If Nicole
I have complied with this contract perfectly
, by the 181st day, Lu Qianxing and Nicole will become a formal secret lover. Both parties must fulfill the obligations that lovers should fulfill. Or, Lu Qianxing's second choice is to become brother and sister with Nicole. From then on, both parties
Treat each other like brothers and sisters.
Lu Ming looked at the contract and was speechless for a while. This was a plot that was used badly in many novels and movies in later generations, and now he has encountered it.
I didn't sleep well, and I seemed to notice what Nicole was writing on the desk in the middle of the night. It turned out that she was tinkering with this thing.
However, after reading the contract content, Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart. In fact, Nicole really didn't necessarily want to be his lover.
It is indeed what she said herself. She is too tired and needs a strong shoulder to lean on. This shoulder can come from her lover or her brother. In short, she hopes to have such a special and close person who can become her in this world.
A reason to be alone again.
She has an older brother, but he belongs to the crazy sister-gnawing tribe. When he sees her, he has nothing else to do except asking for money.
This is probably why she really hopes to have a brother who loves her.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming picked up the pen and signed it. However, when he wrote the last stroke of his name, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Nicole had quickly taken the contract, a hint of pride flashed through her green eyes. She leaned back on the sofa and placed a pair of little feet wearing white socks with cartoon patterns on Lu Ming's legs. She chuckled and said, "Brother, you
Don't touch me." He stuck out his tongue again: "Brother Lawyer, according to our contract, am I stopping you? If you take further action, I will still stop you, but if you can't stop it, don't I break the contract?"
Lu Ming was helpless: "Okay, let's eat! If we really go to court, I can invalidate this contract in three seconds."
"It's boring!" Nicole snorted, retracted her feet, picked up a glass of milk, and chuckled: "Brother, when the time comes, will you choose the first option or the second option?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Maybe then, there will be a third option?"
He picked up the beef slices, stuffed two slices into his mouth, and went to the desk to read those thick files.
Looking at his back, Nicole gradually became fascinated.
…
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the train stopped at Aba City, the capital of Western Michigan. Basically, it has traveled three-quarters of the way. There are still more than 500 kilometers to reach the city-states in the Western Regions, and then about 500 kilometers more, that's it.
The end point of the second train is Nicolo.
This train is an express train and stops at a few transportation hubs. Most of its passengers are long-distance trains.
The style of the state capital buildings here is different from that in the east. The outer layers of the brick buildings have basically no protective layer, and there are many spots. There are few high-rise buildings. The province located in the remote southwest is very poor compared with the east.
.
Beginning with West Michigan, the western states are the main suppliers of beef to the Empire. They are vast and sparsely populated and were once the pastures of the Empire.
This is also a traditional gathering area for Westerners.
Two centuries ago, this place was once a paradise for adventurers, and a culture similar to the Western Cowboys and a group of Western Cowboys were also born.
But the historical trajectory is almost the same as that of Lu Ming's previous life. By the end of the last century, there were too many pastures, and the supply of beef on the market greatly exceeded demand. As a result, the price plummeted, and in bad weather years, many ranchers went bankrupt.
Up to now, in the western states, small ranchers basically no longer exist. Super livestock companies and a large number of large ranchers have divided up all the pastures here. There are many rich people, but they basically live in the countryside, and the poor work for them, and because
It's just that the animal husbandry is developed, so the big and small cities also look very dilapidated.
It is a state capital city like Aba City with a population of more than 200,000. Apart from companies that process frozen fresh beef, there are very few other industries. Instead, there are many thieves, robbers, etc., and gun battles broke out on the streets between mounted police and cowboys.
Happens from time to time.
The poor people in the western states sadly call this place a place forgotten by God.
In fact, from the imperial capital's perspective, there was also the thought of moving a large number of the population here to the eastern Central Asian provinces.
But this is not a few hundred years ago, but until the end of the last century, this place was still a beef paradise and extremely wealthy.
Now, if we want to relocate a large number of people, even the traditional Western states adjacent to these impoverished states will fiercely oppose it.
What's more, how could the super livestock companies and large ranchers here allow lowly laborers to be relocated?
Under the strong opposition of these voices, coupled with the assessment of the current situation of the empire, they are still blatantly distinguishing between races, and even moving a large number of poor Westerners to areas where Central Asians gather. Apart from the high possibility of civil war breaking out in the empire, it does not have any positive significance.
If poor people migrate to wealthy places in large numbers, it will not only bring turmoil to the local area, but it will also be difficult for them to obtain channels for upward mobility.
Therefore, the proposal drafted by some radical Western congressmen thirty years ago was never submitted to the Federal Parliament. Knowing that it would be impossible to pass and that a crisis of racial confrontation would soon arise in the empire, it eventually died down and the bill never saw the light of day.
In Japan, this story was circulated among some small circles in the political arena.
This also makes the regional, state, and provincial councils take autonomy more and more seriously, because the proposals put on the forehead by politicians in the imperial capital are likely to bring disastrous consequences to the local area.
At this time, in the "Tower Restaurant" next to the Aba City Railway Station Square, Lu Ming and others were sitting at a big table by the window having afternoon tea.
The train also stopped in Aba City for an hour. Lu Ming had never been to Xiyu Prefecture, so he simply went out for a walk.
The name of this restaurant is naturally the copycat Donghai "Tower Restaurant". Of course, the restaurant is indeed in a tower building at the train station. The environment is clean and the price is very high. It is on par with the mid-range restaurants in Donghai. The reception
The guests are also relatively wealthy among the tourists.
Like many Western restaurants, the Tower Restaurant does not have private rooms. The large table by the window is equipped with bread, desserts, meat jerky, tea and drinks, vegetable rolls, fruit salad, etc., and unlimited water.
The four people who came to have afternoon tea together were Lu Ming, Sherlock, Wen Liangyu and Wang Jinfei.
Nicole sat next to Lu Ming very intimately. She was so sexy and charming today, v
A snow-white body-shaping short skirt with a word collar. Above the slender waist tightly wrapped by the white skirt, the towering peaks like explosions squeezed out unfathomable ravines. The slightly curly long golden hair fell like a waterfall. The deep blue eyes were watery and full of spring. She was wearing
The slender and long legs of the snow-white stockings and the wonderful curves formed by the crystal high-heeled shoes can drive men crazy. The beautiful bow at the end of the snow-white stockings above the knees can even seduce people.
The beauty was so great that even big-shot figures like Sherlock and Wen Liangyu, who were of high status and age, could not look away. Wang Jinfei even ate his breakfast without daring to take a look.
Lu Ming glanced sideways at Nicole, feeling helpless. What was he doing?
Deliberately demonstrate with yourself and ask yourself, do you regret it?
Suddenly, there was a scolding, but Erhei walked over quickly and asked the people on a table in the distance to put down their cameras.
Maybe he happened to be a reporter. He had just secretly taken out his precious camera from his bag and wanted to secretly take a picture of Nicole, but he was discovered by Erhei.
The man didn't know what he said, but Erhei suddenly took out a gun and put it on his head. The man in the jacket was frightened, and the camera dropped on the table with a clatter.
When Nicole saw this scene, she waved helplessly. At another table, the assistant immediately brought a snow-white windbreaker, sunglasses and hat, and she put them on.
Sherlock smiled and said: "Miss Nicole, when you arrive at Bate City, you should be able to live freely. The area around Bate City is very underdeveloped and there are no cinemas. Although your poster may have been spread there, there are definitely no reporters.
Something that could annoy you."
Nicole's eyes immediately lit up and she looked at Lu Ming: "Brother, will you take me to Bate City?"
"No, it might be dangerous there, so you better not go." Lu Ming waved his hand.
Nicole pouted, "Wasn't it dangerous last time? We almost died together. Without you, I would have died, so I'm not afraid!"
Sherlock looked at this scene, his eyes flickering, probably guessing what the relationship between the two was.
Although he knew that Nicole was invited to the extra carriage, he naturally did not expect that Nicole and Lu Ming slept in the same room last night, and even slept in the same bed for a short period of time.
However, after listening to Nicole's words, I felt relieved. I knew that the most popular superstar in the empire could be cheated by adding a carriage.
It turns out that she and Lu Qianxing are indeed good friends and have experienced life and death together? And it was Lu Qianxing who saved her life?
This little bastard always has such good luck, it's so damn irritating.
