After dinner, Edmund wanted to stay with the two of them, but he knew that if he stayed any longer, he would probably really disgust Goforth, so he maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and left.

As soon as he left, Ge Fu turned to look at Lu Yao.

The night wind blew her long hair up, and she pressed it down casually and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Although we had said we were going to sit in the bar, since Edmund was not here, we could just go wherever we wanted.

Lu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's take a walk around here together?" He didn't have anywhere in particular he wanted to go.

It’s also because I’m not very familiar with Yaojing.

Ge Fu had no objection, "Then let's go."

Lu Yao raised his hand, bent his arm into an arc, and signaled her with his eyes.

Ge Fu suddenly smiled and held his arm. As they walked, she asked, "How tall are you?" She had just discovered that Lu Yao was actually taller than Edmund.

"192."

"So tall?" Ge Fu was really surprised. "It seems your parents must be tall."

"I don't know." We happened to be walking past a flower bed - it's not quite right to call it a flower bed, because there were no flowers planted in it, but instead there were huge golden windmills one after another. When the night wind blew, it looked quite beautiful.

The two of them stopped subconsciously.

Then I heard Lu Yao say: "I was born in the slums and I have never seen my father. My mother is not short, but she is not very tall either. She is a little shorter than you."

"Slums?" Gofu was a little surprised.

Lu Yao nodded and said, "Unlike the poor people in Hengyang, the slums in Jinglong...are not much different from hell. People there don't have a household registration, so they will be exploited when they go out to find a job. They do the same hard labor, but people with a household registration can earn 200 a day, while people in the slums are lucky to earn 50."

"How can there be such a place?" Ge Fu was puzzled.

"To put it bluntly, the people in the slums are the families of exiled criminals." Lu Yao said, "There is no such thing as collective punishment in Jinglong's current laws, but in order to suppress dissidents, officials will banish the families, wives and children of their enemies to the slums."

"Then your parents..." Ge Fu hesitated.

"My family has lived in the slums for several generations. It doesn't make sense to tell who we offended and were sent there," Lu Yao said.

"Then you...from what you said, it should be difficult for people in the slums to get out. How did you get out?" As far as Ge Fu knew, Lu Yao at least had a Jinglong household registration.

"Damn... fighting?" Seeing Ge Fu's confused face, Lu Yao smiled and said, "Jinglong is in constant war, and the army will do anything to recruit soldiers. At times like this, they will not despise children from the slums. When I was a child, I was good at fighting, so the person in charge of the slums enrolled me in a special elementary school."

"Specialized primary school?" Ge Fu didn't understand.

"It's the kind of elementary school that limits future schooling and career choices. It's the kind of elementary school that only children from slums would attend." Lu Yao hasn't mentioned the past for a long time. Many people thought he didn't mention it because he minded, but that's not the case.

At most, I just feel that it is meaningless, after all, the important people in my memory are gone.

Ge Fu understood that Lu Yao could only choose a major such as military academy.

but……

"Military school should be a good career path, right?" She thought about Hengyang's situation and said.

"That's in your Hengyang, Jinglong is not like that." Lu Yao said, "Jinglong's military academies are everywhere. There are many political, military, and civilian schools. There are many factions, and there are all kinds of disputes and frame-ups between them. Let me tell you, except for the top ones, the student mortality rate of most military academies is over 5%. Many people either join the army as cannon fodder after graduation, or become street thugs if there is no army to accept them."

So in Jingheng, military school is really not a good way out. Most people either don't have good grades, don't have enough money, or have no choice.

"Then you..." Ge Fu was a little surprised.

"I'm lucky enough to be admitted to one of the top military academies." Lu Yao said lightly.

Ge Fu was a little surprised and asked, "Then you became a bodyguard?"

"Yes, as a bodyguard." Lu Yao said without much concern.

In fact, he wanted to be an international mercenary at first - Jinglong's environment was there, and he was really not interested in internal fighting. It was just that his appearance was too attractive, and his identity as an emotional consultant was exposed, so it was not so easy to leave.

"Do you want to eat oden?" Lu Yao suddenly asked this while they were walking.

what?

Ge Fu was stunned. "In this weather, is there any Kanto cooking?"

Lu Yao nodded and pointed in the direction ahead.

Ge Fu looked up and found that there was indeed one, right at the door of a convenience store. A little girl was standing there. It was probably late and there was not much business, so she lowered her head and was browsing her phone.

"Do you want to eat?" Lu Yao asked again.

"Eat...right?" Ge Fu rubbed his stomach subconsciously.

Lu Yao confirmed that it was not his illusion before, "Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach? Stomach disease?"

"Not really." Ge Fu said, "At noon, I met a colleague in the canteen of the Academy of Fine Arts who invited me to eat pizza. I couldn't refuse the kindness and ate a piece. I think I was a little full."

That colleague was a plump beauty weighing over 200 pounds. She had a big appetite and bought an extra-large pizza. The pizza slices were all cut in advance, and she didn’t want to leave any food, so she just forced herself to eat it.

Lu Yao didn't expect this to be the case, and he hesitated for a moment, "How about I go buy you some hawthorn slices?" He remembered that this thing helps digestion.

"No, no, I've almost digested it now, let's just eat some oden." Ge Fu smiled and said, "But I'll just have a small portion."

Lu Yao bought her a small portion, just two skewers.

"One konjac and one fish ball. If that's not enough, I have more here."

Only then did Ge Fu see that he was holding a large portion in his hand.

"You can eat so much?" She was a little surprised.

If I remember correctly, he ate quite a bit of dinner.

"Another serving is no problem." Lu Yao said, "When I first left the slums to go to school, my biggest wish was to have enough to eat."

Ge Fu was a little surprised, but when he looked at his size, he felt that it was reasonable.

It's normal for such a tall and strong man to have a big appetite.

After Ge Fu finished eating the konjac and fish balls, Lu Yao gave her half a skewer of beef tendon. When he was sure that she didn't want to eat more, he quickly finished the rest.

"Let's go to the movies together?" he asked.

——He just searched on Baidu. A date is actually about having dinner and watching a movie. They have already had dinner, so shouldn’t they watch a movie?

Ge Fu unexpectedly received his train of thought and couldn't help laughing for a moment.

"Okay, then let's go to the movies." She hadn't been to the movies for a long time.
