Chapter 21: The Fuse

Sanssouci Lodge

"Xie Xiaofeng has already been to the Empty Styx Mountain, if nothing else, he will leave Night City in the next two days. The young man hurried to the open-air balcony and reported to Bai Lang, who was immersed in the world of mobile games.

Bai Lang didn't reply, and said casually: "You sit down and drink saliva first, I'll talk about it after brushing this boss, soon." ”

The young man looked at Bai Lang's serious appearance, and he couldn't complain, so he sat down and poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it all. Half a minute later, Bai Lang turned off his phone. The young man confirmed to Bai Lang, "Did you hear what I just said, do you need me to repeat it?"

Bai Lang looked at the young man, then at the red wine glass in front of the young man's table, and said seriously: "I heard everything you said, but you may not have heard what I said, I just let you drink water, who let me drink my wine? No, this glass of wine has to be counted as money and deducted from your salary!"

"I'll go!"

The young man patted his forehead, looked at Bai Lang with disgust on his face and said, "I've never seen you pick the door like this! You've heard everything I've said, so I won't repeat it, so let's see what we're going to do next, right?"

Bai Lang smiled evilly and looked at the night scene in the distance: "Brother Tiancheng is about to wake up, those people should be unable to hold their breath, no matter from which point of view, Xie Xiaofeng is the best fuse, you have been staring at the Xie family for the past few days, if those people do it, you must ensure the safety of Miss Xie Jia." ”

"Miss Xie's safety, shouldn't it be Xie Xiaofeng's safety?" the young man raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

Bai Lang stood up, stretched his waist, and walked to the fence: "As long as you can ensure the safety of Miss Xie Jia, you can complete the task, as for Xie Xiaofeng, you can do what you like!"

The night scene in the distance, the lights are bright and green, so it is not prosperous, and it is the night city after dark.

The roof of the castle

Alina leaned on the fence and shook her wine glass at the night view in the distance. Chu Tiancheng came to the rooftop, looked at Alina's figure, and couldn't help but feel that feeling in his heart again, it was an indescribable feeling, not even his feeling, yes, he always felt Alina's loneliness from time to time, which sounded ridiculous.

"Are you okay?"

Chu Tiancheng walked to Alina's side and said hello.

"Huh? ”

Alina didn't answer Chu Tiancheng, but glanced at the small table next to her and motioned for Chu Tiancheng to have a drink. Chu Tiancheng shook his head and said no.

The two of them lay side by side on the fence and looked at the night scene in the distance.

"I don't understand, isn't the scenery here almost the same every day?what's there to see?Isn't it tire?" Chu Tiancheng asked Alina.

Alina smiled: "If you live for a long time, you will find that you have to find fun in some boring things, otherwise you will live a miserable life." ”

Chu Tiancheng thought about it and felt that this made sense, if there was anyone who was good at living, Alina could be regarded as experienced. It's just, how to explain that loneliness, is it really just an illusion?

"What are you doing?"

Alina stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Chu Tiancheng's eyes: "Are you okay?Why have you been staring at me lately?Is there any bad intention for me?"

"No, nothing ......"

Chu Tiancheng came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and scratched his head, he just wanted to take a serious look at Alina and see if he could find out the source of that loneliness, but it was too unkind to ignore staring at people like this.

Alina didn't delve into it, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Miss Xie came to look for you earlier, but we weren't there at that time. ”

"Xie Lu, what is she coming to me for?"

"How do I know? See if you want to go find her tomorrow? Of course, if you want, I can throw you in her room right nowβ€”anywhere. Alina squeezed her eyes mischievously.

"Forget it! I don't think it's okay for her to look for me. ”

At that moment, Aliana's cell phone rang.

"Yo! What a coincidence, your Miss Xie family, do you want to give you a video?"

"Don't ......"

"Doodoo Dot ......"

Alina didn't care about Chu Tiancheng's response and had already invited Xie Lu to have a video call, and it was almost instantaneous.

"Sister, is Tiancheng at home?"

In the video, Xie Lu sat at the head of the bed in pajamas as thin as cicada wings and greeted Alina warmly, but her little eyes couldn't help but look left and right, as if she could adjust her perspective to see the situation around Alina.

Chu Tiancheng gestured to Alina, signaling Alina to tell Xie Lu that he was not there, but Alina smiled evilly and directly aimed the camera at Chu Tiancheng.

Chu Tiancheng was still waving his hands in a gesture, and when he saw Xie Lu on the screen, he just waved his hands and pretended to say hello. But this is not the point, the point is that when Chu Tiancheng saw that Ling Lu was wearing pajamas as thin as cicada wings at this time, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands and turned to the side: "I didn't see anything." ”

Alina and Xie Lu reacted at this time, there is not much difference between Xie Lu wearing it and not wearing it at this time, it may not be a big problem to have such a video between two women, but Chu Tiancheng is a man......

When Chu Tiancheng and Xie Lu met again, it was no longer through mobile phone video, the "intimate" Alina directly threw Chu Tiancheng into Xie Lu's room, and after the scene just now, the two of them saw each other again, and their faces were quite embarrassed.

"That...... You sit casually. ”

The two stood for a while, and Xie Lu remembered to beckon Chu Tiancheng to sit down. The room had its own sofa and coffee table, and this time Xie Lu did not stick to Chu Tiancheng to sit together.

After the two sat down, Chu Tiancheng asked straight to the point, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xie Lu looked at Chu Tiancheng with a little hesitation in his eyes: "It's nothing, it's just ......"

Chu Tiancheng looked at Xie Lu's hesitation, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, although the experience just now was indeed embarrassing, but Xie Lu's arrogant temperament would not affect it so far.

"Is something wrong?" Chu Tiancheng thought about it, and didn't take the initiative to ask.

Xie Lu shook his head: "No, nothing happened...... That is, it's ...... I have to go. ”

"Okay, I'll send you...... No, it's your room!"

Chu Tiancheng only reacted after standing up, and the "I'm leaving" in Xie Lu's mouth was another meaning: "What do you mean...... You're leaving Night City?"

Xie Lu nodded: "Well, I just wanted to say goodbye to you, I didn't mean anything else...... I'm leaving tomorrow and I don't know when I'll be back this time, maybe never again, so ......"

Chu Tiancheng looked at Xie Lu and didn't know what to say for a while. Although Xie Lu is very clingy, he is also his first friend in Thirteen. For so many years, he didn't have any friends around him, especially this one who was in love with him, so he really didn't have any experience of separation.

Sugar water shop

"I didn't expect you to be so idle today, I remember you never came to my shop at night. The shopkeeper brought a bowl of double-skin milk to Alina's table, then opened a bottle of beer and sat down across from Alina.

While eating the double skin milk, Alina asked the shopkeeper calmly, "Do you really not know or pretend not to know?"

"Hmm, are you getting old and starting to forget? Have you forgotten that I've long since retired?" the shopkeeper took a sip of beer and looked out the window seemingly casually.

Alina ignored the shopkeeper's attitude and continued: "Xie Xiaofeng has already decided to leave Night City tomorrow, Chu Tiancheng is about to awaken, those people are probably already restless, I think you should know what this means, right?"
