Can We Get Married First?

Chapter 7

Views:

Lou Mi was playing games all the way and ignored Chi Lin. The car was driving fast enough, so Chi Lin was looking for something to grab in the car.

On the way to the school, she had experienced high-speed driving once, but this time the speed was not as fast as before, so after she fastened her seat belt like Lou Mi, she boldly observed the scenery outside the car window.

The cars here don't require horses or people. I don't know why, but they won't collide with each other even if they drive very fast.

The buildings are taller than the other, densely packed and stacked one on top of the other. When the sunlight shines through, it is reflected on the glass walls, which is dazzling and eye-catching.

When the car drove onto the viaduct, Chi Lin leaned against the car window and looked down. The criss-crossing roads below were actually suspended above the sea. It was too bold.

What kind of craftsmen could build such a magnificent city

Dare to do and dare to think. This design can save a lot of space, and there is no need to worry about congestion even if there are many cars.

Chi Lin's heartbeat has not slowed down since getting on the sea highway.

Speaking of which, this was her first time overlooking the sea from this angle. Before, she often just stood on the beach, watching the waves crashing against the shore and the sea and sky merging into one.

It turned out that the sea was more beautiful and vast than she had imagined. The afterglow of the setting sun spread over the sea, reflecting a large area of brilliant golden light. Chi Lin was almost mesmerized by the sight.

The speed limit on the sea highway is very high, with a minimum of 200 miles per hour. They reached the speed limit in five minutes. It felt like they were traveling from one city to another in the blink of an eye.

The car drove on the road for about ten minutes and arrived at a small town.

The place is shaded by green trees, the roads are wide and flat, and the pleasing houses are much shorter than the tall buildings on the other side of the sea, but more exquisite, and all of them are independent buildings.

The buildings appear to be similar in style, but upon closer inspection, they have different personalities from the gate to the courtyard.

Someone inside the car said, "Hello Lou Mi, I'm almost home. Garage 1, Garage 2, and Garage 3 are all vacant today. Please select the garage number you want to park your car in."

Who is this person talking to Lou Mi on the phone? It sounds like the housekeeper of Lou Mansion.

Chi Lin automatically translated these words in his mind as the housekeeper of the Lou Mansion asking Lou Mi which stable he wanted to park the horse in.

That’s right, it was with this kind of immersive understanding that Chi Lin felt that he could transform many unfamiliar elements more quickly.

Lou Mi chose "Garage 1". The white door opened and a circle was drawn on the ground in front of him. The car drove in slowly and got stuck between two grooves.

The circle on the ground lit up blue light clockwise, and then the car slowly sank.

The car also takes the elevator!

Chi Lin appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually shouting "so awesome" and "so magical" in his heart.

The car sank into Garage 1 with the two of them in it. After it stabilized, all the central control lights in the car dimmed. Lou Mi opened the door and got out, and Chi Lin quickly followed.

In fact, she had already seen from before that the Lou family was a wealthy family.

No matter what era it is, those who can own a luxurious single-family house and have a butler to serve and take care of everything are either rich or noble.

Look, there is an elevator in the private residence!

Private elevators are smaller than public elevators like those in schools, and can accommodate about 4-5 people.

Lou Mi stood in the middle of the elevator with his back to Chi Lin, while Chi Lin stood in the corner, like a restrained outsider.

The elevator door opened, and she followed Lou Mi out. She had originally thought that she would need to walk through a long corridor or something like that, and see the well-kept garden before reaching the hall. Unexpectedly, as soon as the elevator door opened, a huge hall appeared in front of her.

Lou Mi walked into a room and took something out, then walked around Chi Lin and pressed the elevator button again, as if he was about to leave.

Chi Lin: "Sister, do you have anything else to do?"

Lou Mi seemed to still be resentful of the intrusive name he gave her before: "Can you stop bothering me? There are a lot of things to do in the club. If it weren't for my dad chasing me like crazy, I wouldn't have the time to serve you."

Chi Lin was not angry at all: "Sister, go and do the important things, I can do it alone."

After Lou Mi left, Chi Lin walked around the living room and felt that the Lou Mansion was about the same size as the hall of the general's mansion where she used to live. Of course, it couldn't be compared with the imperial palace, but she didn't even stay in the palace for half a night before she was convicted and exiled.

In the living room was the largest glass screen she had ever seen, covering almost an entire wall.

Now that she was the only one at home, she could indulge her curiosity. She walked into the glass screen and touched it all around, looking for the start switch.

After searching for a long time without finding it, Chi Lin gave up temporarily and went to look somewhere else.

People in this era seem to like glass very much, even the desks are made of glass.

The chair is too big and too soft... Chi Lin was too embarrassed to sit down directly. He knew in his heart that he was an outsider after all. He just pressed it with his hand. He could fully imagine how it would feel after sitting on it. He estimated that even his bones would be softened.

People in this era really know how to enjoy themselves.

Chi Lin turned around twice and felt hungry while admiring the exhibits.

Where is the kitchen? She really wanted to see the changes in the kitchen and fill her stomach at the same time.

I opened the doors one by one, but I didn't see a stove at all. I only found a place that was closer to a kitchen. After all, there was a huge freezer here with a lot of food in it.

So, where is the stove? How do you start a fire? Where is the wood

Chi Lin was alone, and he said to himself: "How can I get food?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the wall on the left suddenly flashed and all the lights in the kitchen turned on, scaring Chi Lin.

"Good evening, Chi Lin, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Chi Lin saw that the wall that had just flashed was forming ripples of varying strengths as the sound rose and fell. The sound and color were very similar to that of the butler in Lou Mi's car just now. Could it be that the butler called her

This phone allows calls directly without pressing the answer button, which is more convenient.

Chi Lin walked up and asked, "What dishes can we choose tonight?"

Several rows of vivid dishes soon appeared on the wall, divided into several categories: appetizers, soups, main courses, staple foods and desserts.

There were 15 kinds of appetizers alone, many of which she had never heard of, so she had no idea where to choose.

Fortunately, there are "packages" below these options.

The set meal has already been put together. It is already 7:35 in the evening. The default setting of the set meal is dinner mode, which is divided into "low-calorie dinner", "Chinese dinner", "Western dinner", "Japanese dinner" and "Thai dinner".

So many things I don’t understand…

Chi Lin: "Anything is fine, as long as it fills my stomach."

The person talking to her is the smart home system "xh" launched a year ago by n-count, a leading artificial intelligence company. It can help modern families solve many troublesome housework and reduce the energy and time modern people spend on housework.

Cooking is one of the main functions.

After recording the voiceprints of family members, xh can receive instructions from family members and prepare delicious meals according to the recipes in the refrigerator.

Before xh came out, there were similar kitchen helpers, but the food they cooked always tasted a little off, not with enough variety and lack of cooking control.

After the emergence of xh, it quickly occupied a large share of the entire smart home system market.

Chi Lin, an ancient man who traveled through time, is facing a pioneering product that will only appear hundreds of years later.

After receiving her instructions, xh quickly prepared a menu.

"According to your usual dinner habits, we have prepared a pork chop burger and an iced cola for you. It is expected to be ready for you within 30 seconds. I hope you have a good night."

What are pork chop burgers and ice cola? Chi Lin was waiting eagerly.

The wall was counting down. Chi Lin had seen these numbers on today's math test paper. He had seen them before at Hu Shang's in the West Market, but he was not familiar with them.

Chi Lin observed the numbers. With a "ding" sound, a small square box door next to the refrigerator opened automatically, and a white plate came out from the orange light.

On the plate was a pie cut in half and stuffed with meat and vegetables, as well as a glass of cold, bubbling black water.

Chi Lin looked at the glass of black water and felt like he was looking at poison.

This is a pork chop burger and a Coke? But... why are there no chopsticks? How can you pick up food without chopsticks

She bent down and looked at the small box where food was taken out, presumably that was the passage connecting to the kitchen.

Chi Lin said to the box: "Excuse me, where are the chopsticks?"

No one paid any attention to her.

Chi Lin: “…”

Could it be that my voice wasn’t loud enough and the people in the kitchen didn’t hear it

She took a deep breath and said loudly, "Can the chef show himself?"

It was still a quiet kitchen.

Chi Lin was worried. Didn't the kitchen staff and the housekeepers meet the master? Then how could the master and the servant communicate

Then go watch dinner.

Do you have to eat this pork chop burger with your hands? Isn't that a bit indecent

But there was no one else around now, and Chi Lin's passion for exploring new things surpassed everything.

She brought dinner to the living room, sat down on the sofa obediently, and lifted the bun on the hamburger.

When she pinched the bread, she was amazed at how soft it was, how good it felt, and how fragrant it was...

However, after studying the structure of the hamburger, I feel that it should not be eaten separately. Shouldn't the meat and vegetables in the middle of the two layers of patties be eaten together

That’s why we don’t use chopsticks. It would be inconvenient to eat with chopsticks.

That must be the case, Chi Lin praised himself in his heart: I am really smart.

He held the burger firmly and took a bite without any courtesy. The juicy pork and the crispy vegetables were wrapped in the aroma of the bread and rushed into Chi Lin's mouth together. It was so delicious.

Chi Lin finished the burger in one breath and then looked at the glass of black water.

The black water was still bubbling, and the entire surface of the glass was covered with a layer of water vapor, which looked very cold.

What would this water taste like

She smelled it, but she could hardly smell anything. However, the bubbles actually popped up at the tip of her nose, which was quite interesting.

Chi Lin was hesitant, but also very much looking forward to it.

After making up her mind, Chi Lin took a sip and found it was sweet and the bubbles were very strong, which was completely different from what she had imagined.

She drank the ice cola in one breath, and the gas rushed up so fast that she couldn't open her eyes.

"Ah—" Chi Lin couldn't help but scream.

I feel so uncomfortable... but I also feel a little happy for some reason. Why

For a long time afterwards, her nose was still sore from the hiccups.

After eating, Chi Lin collapsed on the sofa and thought about a question - why do people in this era still have a tendency to self-abuse

And she seemed to be led astray in an instant.
