Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 393: Star Gold Framed and Imprisoned (41)

Ryder sat by and watched her eat quietly.

Xing Lu ate a few bites and then put down her chopsticks.

"Don't eat?"

"full."

Reid glanced at the unharmed food, which didn't seem to suit Xing Lu's taste.

"You are too picky about food."

Reid picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks. The taste was the same!

Xing Lu walked into the living room, picked up a clean wine glass, poured wine into it, and then drank the wine while browsing on her laptop.

"...Do you like drinking so much?"

Xing Lu responded perfunctorily.

Although the food in the interstellar age was unpalatable, the wine was surprisingly delicious, even better than some of the famous wines I had tasted before.

Seeing that he had finally found something that Xing Lu was interested in, Reid leaned in and asked, "How about I take you to a bar? The wine there is of the highest quality and most complete variety on the main planet."

Xing Lu looked up at him.

Reid smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely hidden. Believe me, Zong Yu won't be able to find it."

"Our two faces will be targets if we go out."

"What's so difficult about this?"

Reid took out two film-like objects with grid electric currents flashing on them.

"what is this?"

"I asked someone to develop something myself."

"Facial features editing mask."

Reid put this thing on his face in front of Xing Lu. The thin layer quickly adhered to his facial features, and after a few seconds, his facial features changed rapidly.

All of a sudden, Ryder turned into another person.

"A little sleight of hand."

Reid tossed the other one to Xing Lu: "This thing needs to be charged. It can only last for about four hours, which is enough for us to get to where we are going."

...

"The absolutely hidden place you mentioned...right under the Royal Floating City?"

Standing at the door of the tavern, you can look up and see the floating city right above your head.

This is the A-3 area of ​​the main star, where nobles and politicians often come and go.

On the same street, Xing Lu could even see a huge teleportation channel square not far away. It was the only channel connecting the land to the floating city.

The Federal Empire stipulates that no hovercraft or spacecraft are allowed to stay around the hover tower.

If politicians want to go to the floating tower, they must pass through the teleportation square for identity check, and then go to the floating city through the teleportation array to meet the emperor.

Xing Lu glanced at Reid.

Ryder blinked. "It's dark under the lamp. Don't worry, I come here often."

Both of them were dressed in fine clothes, and their posture and temperament were no different from those of aristocrats.

The masks that Reid prepared for the two of them had ordinary looks, so people passing by didn't pay much attention to them.

"Let's go, dear." Reid put his arm around Xing Lu's shoulders, curled his lips and pushed open the door.

The interior decoration of the pub is not particularly outstanding. Reid said it is a retro decoration. Xing Lu couldn't see how it was retro, but there were still many customers visiting.

"How is it? Retro enough, right?"

Reid leaned against the bar, next to which stood a vinyl record player, a common sight in the 21st century.

Xing Lu raised her eyebrows: "When you say retro style... is this what you mean?"

She asked why she felt it was ordinary, because the decoration style of the entire pub was no different from that of ordinary pubs in the 21st century.

But she forgot that this is the interstellar age.

The one hundred and ninety-seven nations that were once known to us are long gone, all united into a federal empire.

"Look." Ryder patted a decorative round table covered with a red tablecloth next to him. "It's a solid wood round table with polyester fabric."

“These things are hard to find even if you want to find them.”

Xing Lu: ...

Momentarily speechless.

Facing Ryder's sparkling eyes, she nodded: "...Well, it's quite retro, exactly like the popular items of the 21st century."

There is a quartz clock hanging on the wall, a booth sofa with light-colored fabric, mirrors everywhere, and a whole wall of wine glass cabinets.

"Hi~ Guest~"

At this time, a man in a tuxedo came over and asked: "What can I drink?"

"Bring all the 'Century Memory' types."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Xing Lu asked, "What is 'Century Memory'?"

"You can think of it as a set meal," Ryder said. "This set meal is the best seller here."

"Set meal?" Xing Lu raised an eyebrow. "Does it mean it includes several types of drinks?"

"clever."

"Then why is it called 'Century Memory'?"

"It's the wine people drank in previous centuries."

Xing Lu had a subtle premonition.

Sure enough, when the beautiful little glasses were brought over on the tray, Xing Lu raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Is this lady's first time here?" the waiter said, "Let me introduce you. This is real whiskey, made with a recipe from a 21st-century English distillery."

Xing Lu: “…”

Reid held the wine glass in front of Xing Lu. Looking at Reid's sparkling eyes, Xing Lu felt reluctant to pour cold water on him.

So Xing Lu picked up the glass and drank the 'real whiskey' in one gulp.

Xing Lu: “…”

Ryder asked, "How is it? Does it taste good?"

Xing Lu looked up and asked the waiter, "Are you sure this is whiskey?"

The waiter nodded: "Yes."

Xing Lu said, "Mm, it tastes good."

Xing Lu remembered that whiskey was fermented from grains, but this glass of 'whisky' tasted like a fruit.

But she didn't intend to say it out loud, after all, other people didn't know that she was a person who actually lived in the 21st century.

I just feel a little speechless and a little funny. In the interstellar age, I still have to drink this kind of wine that I am used to drinking.

The waiter immediately smiled and said, "Then please enjoy your tipsy time. I won't disturb you two anymore."

"How is it? It tastes good, right?"

Reid smiled charmingly, "Those nobles love to come here to drink, and they can also get some good news."

...

Xing Lu ordered some other wines she had never tried before, all with strange names.

'Black Hole Whisky', 'Dark Matter Rum', 'Gravity Wine'...

Each one has its own unique flavor, at least much more interesting than the wine in the "Century Memory" set menu.

At this time, a young man and woman came in through the door.

"The Xing family is probably really finished. I heard that Xing Xue hasn't returned to the Xing family since last night, and Madam Xing has sent people everywhere to look for her."

"Of course Xing Xue won't go back! I passed by the Xing family this morning and found that they were surrounded by the army. I also heard recently that the Interstellar Court is going to liquidate some of the Xing family members."

"It's so funny. Seeing how arrogant Xing Xue usually is, I really thought she could become the Crown Princess."

"A glass of stars."

"Let me tell you something. Actually, the Xing family originally had their sights set on a higher position."

"You mean...the Queen?"

"Yes, I heard that they bribed the royal medical officer and wanted all royal members to seek them for mental healing."

"About a dozen years ago, the Emperor summoned the Xing family. At that time, the Xing family sent Xing Xue's aunt. I don't know what she did, but she angered the Emperor, and Xing Xue's aunt was exiled to Samuel Planet because of it."
