Noticing the inquiry in Noah's eyes, Nina blinked and said as if nothing had happened, "Yes, my surname is Lu. Is it strange? I live in a fishing village in Spring City. "
"It's not strange." It was not strange at first, but she explained the address of her home spontaneously, as if she was deliberately misleading him, which was suspicious.
Spring City and CM Island were across the sea. There were indeed some fishing villages with the surname of Lu living there. It was said that they had moved here from CM Island long time ago.
Noah was more or less sure that Nina had something to do with CM Island.
Since she was unwilling to tell him her identity, he would respect her will and would not force her.
"I once stayed in spring city for a period of time and was lucky enough to go to a small fishing village nearby. I heard that people there liked to add a word of the name. Since you are from Spring City, I will call you Ninja from now on. What do you think?"
Hearing the name "Ninja", Nina was stunned. Only her brother would call her "Ninja" kindly.
When Noah called her "Ninja", Nina seemed to see her brother sitting opposite her and looking at her with a smile.
"Well, my family also call me like that." Nina nodded and agreed. She didn't think it was inappropriate.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong with her name, which made Noah catch a huge loophole.
The residents of the fishing village in Spring City didn't call others like this. He heard this name from CM Island. The elders or ordinary people in their family would add a word of the name, which was a very intimate name.
When Nina said that her family also called her like this, Noah had already confirmed that Nina was from CM Island.
The commoners of CM Island were either rich or powerful. Why did she come to LC City and didn't stay in CM Island?
Although he had a lot of doubts in his heart, they were all Nina's own affairs. Whether he knew it or not was not a big deal.
Noah glanced at the Chinese food on the table and said softly, "Ninja, let's have dinner first. I know there is a restaurant where the fish is very delicious. They are all transported from the training ground of CM Island. They are fresh. I'll take you there next time. "
CM Island was a rich place guarded by the sea. The people there mainly ate seafood and fish, and the style of their diet was western countries. They ate western food was more than Chinese food.
Now it was Chinese food. He wondered if she could get used to it?
Nina's hand, which was picking up the chopsticks, paused and looked at Noah with an unreadable expression. She felt that Noah seemed to know that she was not from Spring City and had already noticed her identity.
But when she saw that Noah's eyes were clear and sincere. His tone and expression were natural, and he seemed not to get the root of the matter. Nina was a little relieved.
It doesn't matter for him to noticed her identity only if he didn't tell anyone.
"Okay, I like fish since I was a child, but I don't want too many people to know about it." Nina's pun told Noah that his guess was right. She was from CM Island.
The last sentence was to remind him not to reveal her identity casually. She didn't want anyone to know about it, lest it cause trouble.
The unexpected implication shocked Noah. He didn't expect that Nina would directly confirm his guess. As for the fact that she didn't want others to know, he would keep it a secret even if she didn't remind him.
Noah and Nina had known each other for less than a week, and they seldom met each other. Nina chose to believe that Noah would keep it a secret. This trust came from Noah's identity, a righteous law enforcer, and also her senior brother.
"Ninja, eat more meat. You are a little thin." Noah involuntarily began to like Nina, but in fact, he was thanking her for her trust.
Facing the dish of meat placed in front of her by Noah, Nina licked her lips and blinked with gratitude. "Brother, you really understand me. I like meat."
"But why do you look so thin?" Noah thought she didn't eat anything that would add fat, such as some meat. He had seen his aunt didn't eat any greasy meat in order to keep her figure.
"Am I thin? Maybe I don't get fat. " Nina picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth to chew slowly. The tip of her tongue occasionally tasted. It was worthy of being a five star restaurant. The chef was really good at cooking.
"If my aunt hears this, she will be furious." Noah shook his head with a smile and ordered a glass of juice for her.
"You must have a good relationship with your aunt." Nina had heard Noah mention his aunt two times. Except for this aunt, Noah had never mentioned any other family members.
Only the one who was in his heart could not help but talk about it.
"Yes, she is two years older than me. She is a very powerful female entrepreneur, but she is also very hard." It was so hard that she had to support the whole family's business, and she couldn't even consider her own life.
