It was already 11:30 a.m. by the time they left Ivanov's estate. Driving her H1 to a courtyard with simple tables and chairs laid out, Shui Junzuo called out to the owner, "Two sautéed pig trotters rice with more trotters!"

　　The man immediately acknowledged her order, went to prepare and served the two plates of rice a brief moment later.

　　The trotters were placed on the fragrant rice before it was drenched in sauce. The hair was cleanly shaved and the egg was also permeating with aroma. Although this seemed to be a simple meal, it had an extraordinary taste.

　　Even if Su Tao did not have a habit of such greasy food, he still ate with gusto. When he raised his head, he handed a napkin over when he saw Shui Junzuo's lips covered in the sauce. Shui Junzhuo also had no idea that her lips were covered in sauce and failed to clean herself well.

　　Letting out a sigh at this scene, Su Tao took the initiative to clean it up for her before smiling. "You're really stupid!"

　　Looking at Su Tao, Shui Junzhuo blushed and smiled. "What has this got to go with stupidity? I can't see my own face, so how would I know where the spot is at?"

　　"Well, you can see your own reflection from my pupils and use it as your mirror!" Su Tao teased.

　　When Shui Junzhuo's gaze interacted with Su Tao, she instantly blushed, "How can I see so clearly with such a small reflection?"

　　Su Tao liked to see Shui Junzhuo looking bashful and smiled. "So you really did try and look at your own reflection! See, you're so easy to fool, so aren't you stupid? It's common sense that you won't be able to see the sauce on your lips through the reflection in my pupils. Forget it, seeing that you're so stupid, I'll do it for you in the future, but we have to agree that you won't mind it!"

　　"Mind what?" Shui Junzhuo was baffled.

　　"Bechaze thish ish an intimate acs.h.i.+on, and I'm afwaid that you might think that I'm too frivolous.h.!.+" Su Tao's speech was blurred due to the mouthful of rice in his mouth.

　　"Don't worry about it. I'm a child of society, so I won't be bothered about this." Shui Junzhuo smiled.

　　Teased by her words, Su Tao nearly choked himself and gulped down a mouthful of water before he replied, "I never expected that you're so humorous."

　　"Yeah, I have a lot of merits!" Shui Junzhuo winked and smiled. "But you've not noticed them."

　　Letting out a sigh, Su Tao replied, "In the mindset of many, those who were born from n.o.ble families are like fairies out of the commoner's reach. I never expected that you're so down-to-earth and treat me to such a place filled with old Beijing's atmosphere for a meal."

　　Shui Junzhuo replied with a smile, "It's all mainly their prejudice and they feel that those born in a n.o.ble family are a bunch of arrogant p.r.i.c.ks. But in reality, most of them have received an excellent education, and their vision is wider and more responsible, but it is often just misled by the media."

　　Shaking his head, Su Tao refuted, "It's not because the media has misled everyone. Firstly, there truly are many amongst those people who are truly as described, since they hold more resources in their hands compared to others. So if they committed a crime, the level of their crime is usually more serious than ordinary criminals. Secondly, no matter how society develops, it's normal for everyone to look at the rich like enemies while looking at the poor with compa.s.sion. This is the right view that serves as a motivation that pushes forth the development of society."

　　"Your logic are truly unusual!" Shui Junzhuo laughed.

　　Su Tao carried on with his a.n.a.lysis, "The poor viewing the rich as enemies while commoners viewing officials as enemies; that is also their jealousy and envy. Despite calling the rich heartless, they still hope to be one of them. Becoming rich from poor or becoming an official from a commoner is their motivation as desires fuel the progress of society."

　　"Actually, the rich also have their own share of troubles." Shui Junzhuo sighed.
