Chapter 107: Cold Heart, Doomed Future
"Hahaha, stinky girl, can't you not trouble your Uncle Song one day? You must be getting more and more beautiful, even if Uncle Song missed something, I'll make it up to you now." Song Jiaming smiled bitterly and shook his head, without any intention of being angry because Zhuang Ying embarrassed herself, obviously, this is already the regular mode of getting along between the two of them.
Song Jiaming is old and has a daughter, loves the house and Wu, and communicates and cares for all girls who are about the same age as his daughter, not to mention that Zhuang Ying is still the daughter of his best friend, so he naturally loves him more. Zhuang Ying is also happy to play tricks on Song Jiaming, because Zhuang Yixie will definitely not allow this situation at home, this giant is notoriously strict and indifferent, and Zhuang Ying is no exception......
"Forget it, today is Sister Liu's birthday, so don't worry about this, just help me bring a blessing to Sister Liu. Zhuang Ying stood up with a smile on her face and gently touched Song Jiaming's cup.
"Well said. Then, won't the girl introduce me to you?" Song Jiaming had curiosity in his eyes, and pointed at Yuan Xiao with a cup, with a gentle smile on his face.
Finally got to the point.
A glimmer of light flashed in Zhuang Ying's eyes, and calmly stepped forward to hold Yuan Xiao's arm, Tang Jinglian snorted quietly behind her, but she wouldn't be jealous because of this, after all, this is the road that Yuan Xiao must go through, and her current identity is not convenient to come forward, Zhuang Ying is undoubtedly the most suitable, but there is always something wrong in her heart.
This duel and Sophie's appearance have created the most perfect momentum for Yuan Xiao, and the next task is to use Zhuang Ying's link point to truly transition Yuan Xiao into this circle, Song Jiaming's old qualifications are a good choice, although he has been in the circle for a long time, but he has not been polluted too seriously, and more importantly, he still has ambitions, and he wants a bigger cake.
But if he continues to maintain his current state, even if he is buried in the ground, he will still get that pitiful share.
And if he wants to change, only Yuan Xiao may help him.
There was no reason for him to refuse.
"This is the original owl, and it is my very, very good friend~ Come to help me support the scene today, lest there are always some flies who don't know what to do, now you know the criteria for choosing a mate for this girl!
I have to say that the original owl's face is really perfect now, although he was already in love with him at the beginning, but more admiration comes from the part other than his appearance, and he doesn't care much about how the original owl looks. However, what girl doesn't want her hero to take off his mask and let herself "miss it for life"?
"You girl, you're very ghostly. Song Jiaming smiled and pointed at Zhuang Ying, then turned to Yuan Xiao and stretched out his hand, "When we met for the first time, Mr. Yuan left a very deep impression on me, I also watched that duel, he shot decisively, moved like thunder, and pulled out the mountains, he was really a hero." β
"It's over. Yuan Xiao naturally heard Song Jiaming's friendship, and stepped forward to hold Song Jiaming's hand. "Actually, I don't want to make trouble at Miss Song's birthday party, but I have to be loyal to others because I am entrusted by others. What Yuan Xiao said is naturally used to correspond to the identity that Zhuang Ying set for herself, "the one who drives away flies".
"Where, seriously, I want to thank Mr. Yuan, without your duel, I'm afraid I'm going to lose my Song Jiaming today. Song Jiaming shook the powerful palm of Yuan Xiao vigorously and said sincerely. Then, he briefly described Song Liu's personality traits and today's events, and several people present showed sympathetic looksβthis real estate tycoon is too miserable......
"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm quite happy. Song Jiaming patted the middle-aged lady beside him who showed a worried look, expressed comfort, and continued, "This little ancestor of my family has not recognized me since I was a child, and now that I have grown up, although I am more stubborn than when I was a child, it can be seen that I am paying more and more attention to being a father." β
"So, I have to toast you today, not only because you made the little girl so happy, but also because you didn't make a move because of the little girl's recklessness at that time," Song Jiaming said at the end, the expression on his face became subtle, "And for the sake of our fate today and in the future." β
Yuan Xiao nodded heavily and raised his glass.
The crisp sound of wine glasses colliding means the birth of a promise, no one knows whether the promise can be fulfilled by both sides, but the door of fate has begun to open again, and thousands of roads are like crazy vines, evolving thousands of different endings, which one is good, which one is bad, what is good, what is bad?
Nobody knows.
But that's the joy of life, isn't it?
......
"Really don't you want to have another drink with me?" Zhuang Ying leaned lazily on the car window, looked at the handsome but ruthless man in front of her, and pursed her sexy lips, like a child who can't eat candy.
"No, I still have something. After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, he looked at the suit on his body, and he was a little difficult, so he wouldn't come to the street to change his clothes again.
"The clothes are left to you~ Men, you can't lack a custom suit, you will always need it, whether it's a wedding or a funeral. Zhuang Ying gave Yuan Xiao a kiss, rolled up the car window with a smile, and told Uncle Ge to drive.
Yuan Xiao did not stop and walked to another car.
He also didn't get into the car, looking at the lovely people in the car through the door, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
"Haiqing, she's fine. In the end, Yuan Xiao said it, and Tang Jinglian in the car covered her mouth, and tears suddenly poured out, wetting the luxurious dress. Tang Jinglian, who grew up in such a family since she was a child, rarely meets friends like Sun Haiqing, who knows her identity and will not have the slightest pretentiousness, and never stammers or sycophants because of her father, and the time she spends with her is Tang Jinglian's most relaxing time.
Therefore, during the conversation in the cafeteria that day, she keenly guessed that something must have happened to Sun Haiqing, and this matter would even make it difficult for Yuan Xiao, she had already made the worst plan in her heart, and even made her own plan to break into Sun Haiqing's house, but thinking of Yuan Xiao's words, she reluctantly let herself stop. Just yesterday, she learned from her father that the residential area where Sun Haiqing's family was located was suddenly divided into a new business plan, and her father was also a little secretive, which made her sleepless at night.
Today, she finally heard the phrase "Haiqing, she's fine" that she has hallucinated countless times.
If it was someone else, Tang Jinglian might have to continue to ask, or express doubts, or ask to see her best friend now to rest assured.
However, this is the original owl.
Her trust in the original owl has somehow reached an unexplainable point, what the original owl said, she believed, and if the original owl didn't say it, she wouldn't ask.
"Now, it's not the right time to wait for my news. After Yuan Xiao finished the last sentence, he waved his hand at Tang Jinglian, turned around and left, without the slightest pause.
The night was already a little deep, but life in the Demon Capital had just begun.
This is the most luxurious business district, and this is the most enthusiastic moment of consumption, the lights are bright, the Wei River is rising, and countless money flows into the endless black hole, and then it is digested and ruminated by this chaotic giant beast, and becomes the city's fresh nourishment.
The original owl hates to be lively.
Hate the noise.
Hate anything that bothers you.
He chose the dark path after luxury, a winding path full of needles and family planning supplies.
It was dark and deep, and only a slight white noise occasionally came, or moaning, or screaming, or gnawing, but it made Yuan Xiao's heart more calm.
"When the magic moment passes, I always feel that something is missing. "The original owl walked slowly, kicking a can away, and the terrible force made this fragile little object embedded in the concrete wall, and I don't know what it would like to think when it was discovered......
"Why, do you expect to encounter a 'Crimson Blade Armor' on the street?" Orkus's magnificent throne did not know where it had been received, and now the sea of blood was bare again, and he was lying on his back on the sea of blood, holding in his hand the code of some unknown generation and country.
"If such a good thing happens every day, I will do it alone. "At the beginning, it was precisely because of that scarlet blade armor that he met Song Ming, Chen Ke, Lao Tang, Tang Jinglian, and Tang Zheng, and it was from that moment that he really integrated into the city, and he was no longer a lonely ghost in a wandering state.
You know, before that, Yuan Xiao's life was three points and one line: take the task, complete the task, come back to change the crack soul stone, and then when there is no task, he sits at the bar and mocks Dante at each other, thinking about the friendship between the two people, it seems that this is how it is sublimated.
"What are you thinking?" Orkus put away the Codex and sat down in the sea of blood, "You know, when you're awake, I have a hard time accessing your thoughts and memories, so I think it's better to ask directly." β
"Think about the future. On a whim, the original owl actually flew up in the narrow alley, constantly stepped on the walls of the two buildings with his feet, and climbed to the top of the building in this way.
"You never thought about the future before, why did you change your temperament?" Orkus was interested.
"I didn't want to before, because the future is certain and the road is drawn. Yuan Xiao felt the breath of the wind on the roof of the building and closed his eyes, "It's different now, although the end of the future is still certain, but the road, I can choose." β
"When did you start planning?" Orkus asked.
"From the moment you enter the police station. Yuan Xiao opened his eyes, and there was no trace of human emotion in his eyes.
"In other words, those people in the police station, the Tang family's father and daughter, your little brothers, and a lot of Balabala, in fact, are just your pawns?" Orkus smiled obscenely, "Hehehe, it's disgusting, I like it." β
"The chess pieces are not appropriate. Yuan Xiao's heart was as solid as a rock at this moment, "I just need their strength, and they happen to be willing to lend it to me." Just borrow and I'll pay them back. Definitely. β
"Tut-tut, boy, you know, whether in hell or in this world, some can be borrowed and some can be repaid," Orkus shook his finger as he stretched out.
"You'll never be able to pay it back. β
