Chapter 395: Wind and rain
The capture of the escaped Monique by the cloak Elder Bruch was like an inconsequential episode, like a pebble thrown into the turbulent sea of filth and filth on the Lighthouse Star, and it didn't cause any waves. The old monster disappeared as soon as he appeared, and the invitation to invite Gu Hanhan to play in the prison of the inquisition was gone, Gu Hanhan was frightened for several days, and gradually put his mind at ease, so he lived a college life in a serious way, the classroom, the dormitory and the real room were three o'clock and one line, going to bed late and getting up early, box lunches and brain waves flew together, and he started boring scientific research with one mind.
This is not that Gu Hanhan loves scientific research, in addition to the value of being a research sample, she is still far from being able to endure the boredom, loneliness and loneliness of science. However, listen to the advice of others and eat well. Since Anthony asked her to stay obediently, and Rowling told her to hide it honestly, then she Gu Hanhan would be obedient to the cat school, which made a group of entertainers who were ready to squat in the university town and Xinghua Lane just waiting for the headlines to be photographed.
The current situation of Lighthouse Star is quiet and eerie, the lavish and noble banquet is held as usual every night, Monique and his friends are still squatting in the prison of the Inquisition, Zou Yan has disappeared for a few days and then reappeared in the real yàn room, she says that the recent events have confused her, and she needs to be quiet here.
Regardless of whether he sent an invitation to Antony, according to one of his personal valets, after the Golden Banquet, Antony never went out of the house, let alone attended any banquets. But he began to meet customers, and careerists who had previously handed out invitations but were turned away were able to get a glimpse of the door. Anthony is now not just accepting gifts from them, but also meeting with them. Gu Hanhan didn't know if there were any envoys of Emperor Ogra among the speculators who met with Anthony or even talked further, according to one of the personal valets, there were none, but Gu Hanhan's heart was not very steady.
David would call from time to time, but he didn't come to pick up Gu Hanhan to go to the villa for the night, let alone mention the duel that night. He seemed to be very busy, and even apologized for not being able to be with him on Thursday's appointed tryst.
"It's really busy, maybe I won't be able to accompany you after the New Year. That's what he said.
"Is there any trouble?" asked Gu Hanhan.
"Nothing special," David said, "is so busy every year before the New Year's celebrations. ”
Gu Hanhan once guessed in a joking mentality that David might be like Anthony, not meeting with him and having the intention of cooling the incident, or going further, he has begun to think calmly about their relationship, maybe he is considering "breaking up" with her. Isn't there a joke that once a man says he's busy, it's the beginning of a change of heart. However, Gu Hanhan felt that things were not so simple, and from David's flat tone, she could vaguely feel that it seemed that the truth was not as plain as David said, but there was a kind of nervousness about to come.
No matter what kind of intuition Gu Hanhan has, it is just intuition after all. Neither Anthony nor David had any evidence to prove that they were lying or concealing it, and where the tide of the Beacon Star would go was beyond her capabilities. Faced with this situation, Gu Hanhan has no better way but to talk about scientific research to comfort himself.
The door of the real yàn room was closed, and the wind and rain of the lighthouse star were all blocked out, Gu Hanhan didn't listen to the things outside the window, and in the boring real yàn and step-by-step classes, the days always passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, New Year's Day arrived.
All schools in the university town have completed all the exams in time for the day before the new year, and the winter vacation is half a day early. The campus is full of young students who are calling for friends, and there are many common-class international students who have not even returned to the dormitory, so they get on the bus with their bags and embark on the most comfortable winter vacation trip of the year.
On the contrary, students from aristocratic families did not have the means to start their winter break immediately. The embassies of the Beacon Star countries hold breakfast meetings and deliver New Year's greetings early in the morning of New Year's Day, and the night before New Year's Day is the time for the New Year's celebrations of the various superpower families. All the vassals of the family will gather together to perform a solemn pilgrimage and offer gifts as a sign of allegiance, and any changes in the order within the family will be announced and confirmed at the ceremony. After that, the protracted autumn feast of the lighthouse star can be regarded as completely over, and the holiday of the nobles can be regarded as officially begins.
Gu Hanhan finished today's practice early, changed his clothes, and walked out of the test field briskly. Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, the earth students celebrate together, and they have already made an appointment for dinner in the evening. It's four o'clock in the afternoon, Bei Shao has to stare at all the real things today, and it will be seven o'clock to go out, and the agreed time for dinner is half past seven in the evening, and there are still more than two hours to go, Gu Hanhan decided to take advantage of this time to visit the shopping mall on Yingxing, who is not too far from the test site, and buy some New Year's gifts for his classmates and fellow villagers. After buying a gift, it was appropriate to come back and meet Bei Shao to eat.
Walking out of the space platform, not far away is an unmarked space shuttle, Lucas wears sunglasses and leans against the side of the airship to smoke. Seeing Gu Hanhan, he extinguished his cigarette and put away his sunglasses to meet him.
"Miss out?" he asked.
"Yes," Gu Hanhan said, "I haven't been shopping for a long time, I heard that Yingxing's hypermarket is the Yiwu of the universe, the south of the Milky Way, and I want to go to remember it in the New Year."
Lucas didn't have any extra thoughts about Gu Hanhan going to the wholesale market to buy cheap goods, he only knew that with his strength, it was enough to ensure Gu Hanhan's safety in that kind of place. So he opened the cabin door and asked Gu Hanhan to board the plane. Gu Hanhan thought that even if he troubled the driver of the real room, Lucas would inevitably fall behind, so he simply saved energy and really got into his car.
There were drivers, servants and even cooks on the shuttle, but Lucas didn't need to drive it himself. So after the servants brought Gu Hanhan's favorite fresh fruits and desserts, he stood next to her seat.
Gu Hanhan looked at the layout inside the shuttle and was very curious about its owner, Lucas. It was a style that was simple to the extreme, with no extra luxury except for basic comfort, and the lights were extremely bright. Gu Hanhan's feeling was very similar to David's abode—it was also so bright, as if it could penetrate the dark universe. It is also such a conciseness, as if it can leave at any time - of course, both David's residence and David's airship are extremely luxurious, but that luxury is lacking in popularity, as if it is imposed by the outside world, belongs to the identity of David Duran, and is not close to David. Stripped of the superficial luxury, all that's left is this simple condensation.
"Your new airship, Mr. Lucas?" she asked, "I remember it wasn't like this before, and it was more ...... Be a little more stylish. ”
"Oh, that one was given by the Family Affairs Bureau when I left the camp," Lucas replied, "and now this one was given by the owner, and I like it." ”
Since David was mentioned, Gu Hanhan asked: "Are you still following me today, you don't have to go back to participate in the New Year's celebration?" I heard that it is very important, and the position of the station will affect the status of the family in the new year. ”
"Although the celebration is important, it is still not as important as Miss Protection. The order my master has given me now is to protect Miss. Lucas smiled: "Besides, there was no place for me to stand in the main hall of the official residence. ”
Gu Hanhan's psychology was very unhappy, because before going out, David had called her and invited her to participate in the New Year's celebration of Duran's family tonight. If she agreed, Lucas would be able to go back with her, and there would be no need to miss the celebration like he was now - according to the custom that Gu Hanhan had heard from Sister Rowling, the New Year's celebration of the superpower family was a very important day for all vassals. If you are a vassal who cannot appear at the celebration, you will be considered extremely unpopular with your master, and if you are disliked, your status in the family will immediately plummet.
However, at that time, Gu Hanhan was bent on sneaking back to celebrate the New Year with Anthony, surprise him, and have a party of Earth students a little earlier. Moreover, Gu Hanhan was very worried about such a formal occasion as the Duran family's New Year's celebration, and if he appeared rashly, it would probably be very inappropriate, not only causing misunderstanding among others, but even worse causing David's misunderstanding, so he refused without hesitation.
David didn't invite very much, and when he heard Gu Hanhan's refusal, he didn't forget it: "Well, it's okay if you don't come, the timing is indeed not the best now, and you must be very impatient with such a boring scene, maybe it's better to wait for next year." I'll be with you when the celebration is over......"
The shuttle made a half-circle in the atmosphere of the glowing star and landed at the entrance of the hypermarket that Gu Hanhan said. The wholesale market is crowded, all of them are residents from various planets in the Vault Dweller Star Domain who come to buy New Year's goods, and it seems that there are many people who remember "Yiwu of the universe, Yinhe Nansan".
Gu Hanhan was like a fish in water, and he slipped into it with a sting. Lucas, a dignified seventh-level combat superpower, squeezed a lifetime of sweat behind him, and finally kept up with the feet of the Earth Girl and didn't lose her.
Gu Hanhan drilled around in front of various stalls, looking at a set of handmade mechanical DIY toolboxes with characteristics of the Common Era, and wanted to give it to Bei Shao, but before he could bargain when he picked it up, the ring flashed violently, and a communication came.
Gu Hanhan glanced at the frequency band, it was Xie Shangjun's, and hurriedly took it.
"Hanhan, are you in Yingxing? Great! Come and visit the Chinese Chamber of Commerce!" Xie Shangjun's hurried voice came from the communication, "One hundred thousand is urgent, I must ask you for a favor!"
Gu Hanhan hadn't reacted yet, pinching the ring and still asking vigorously: "Hey, what's the matter, Xie Shao, what can I help you......
"Yingxing Thirteen Orbit, Chinese Chamber of Commerce, I'll wait for you at the gate, see you or leave-" After speaking, Xie Shangjun hung up the phone.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Hanhan immediately dialed Xie Shangjun back, but there was silence on the other side, and he couldn't even hear a blind cause, and the system showed that the other party had turned off the ring terminal.
If Xie Shao could get through or ask something clearly, Gu Hanhan might not care, but now in this situation, Gu Hanhan is not in a hurry-
It can't be an accident, is it? Got hurt, got into a fight, or was it kidnapped?
The more Gu Hanhan thought about it, the more worried he became, threw the toolbox away, turned around and squeezed outside.
"Mr. Lucas, you have no problem fighting or something--what is the communication of Miss Xie's secretary, I have to contact his family quickly. ”
