Roman Holiday Chapter 58 An Invitation from Far Away
There is the sound of flowing water.
Rather, it should be a roar β a huge stream of water cascading down from a great height and then crashing against the rocks on the shore. The surface of the rock has become smoother and smoother, and the gray-black outline is hidden in the diffuse water vapor. Presumably, in this huge roar, the internal organs will vibrate together.
The white fox looked around, and it was all damp and gloomy stone walls, covered with green purple and black vines, and in between, there lived many birds and reptiles, hiding their delicate lives in this entangled shelter.
Behind him was the noisy waterfall, and at this moment, he was standing in the cave behind the waterfall.
"...... here" The white fox looked around, his face full of consternation. With his back to the waterfall, he looked in disbelief at what stood at the end of the cave.
There was a sudden sharp pain in the lower abdomen, the smell of blood spread from the mouth, and the white fox's perspective instantly dropped to the ground.
The two figures appeared in front of him like ghosts, entangled with each other, and then quickly distanced themselves.
A figure fell first. The red liquid then flowed and spread, dyeing the ground red, as if it had become a bright red carpet pressed underneath him, soft and vivid, enveloping the fallen body in it.
The other figure threw away what he was holding, and while grabbing his hair with both hands, he stumbled upside down towards the end of the cavern. It seemed to be intoxicated, and it seemed to have fallen into madness.
"What have I done......
With the last words, the white fox opened his eyes sharply.
The gray-black ceiling is a color that is so monotonous that it makes people desperate.
The white fox stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and muttered unwillingly: "Why is this dream again, so many years." On his body, the purple tattoo like a living creature flowed slowly, emitting a faint light, and quickly fell silent.
After a "pop", the alarm clock began to make a continuous and irregular noise.
The white fox stretched out his hand violently, and with a "click", the alarm clock at the head of the bed was smashed to pieces, and countless small parts popped out of it. But the alarm clock was still stubbornly noisy, and the sound was even more poignant than before. In order to stop it, the white fox grabbed the wreckage of the alarm bell again and threw it hard against the wall. This time the alarm went straight back to calm, but it was also quiet forever. The white fox put the hand that threw the alarm clock in front of his eyes again, as if deliberately blocking his vision. But his mouth was still muttering, obviously talking to himself.
"What a long dream. β
Unlike the white fox, Gu Lichuan slept peacefully that night, although before going to bed, Ying Lan tried on the new clothes she bought with Andre one by one and asked Gu Lichuan for advice one by one.
"Is this pretty?" asked Ying Lan, who was wearing a light knitted sweater, tilting her head.
"Well, it's good-looking. Gu Lichuan laughed and snorted, because he didn't know much about girls' dressing. But he is telling the truth - Ying Lan, who is about 1.7 meters tall, has slender and long legs, a graceful demeanor and a cold feeling of slight rejection, which can be said to be the kind of girl who is very eye-catching. Although his chest is a little flat, fortunately, Gu Lichuan doesn't like that very plump type.
Ying Lan sat on the sofa a little frustrated, picked up the cup and poured water: "It's the same, you've been busy all day, you must be tired, and I still ask questions, it's really not good." β
After speaking, she handed the cup with half a glass of water poured to Gu Lichuan.
Gu Lichuan smiled awkwardly and reached out to take the cup. Indeed, traveling back and forth to four time zones in one day, and experiencing a rain of bullets, the average person is afraid to go home as if they had died once. Gu Lichuan was no exception, although there was a slight feeling of hunger in his stomach after taking a bath, what came more violently was the fatigue after a hard day's work. It's a pity that Ying Lan asked with great interest on the side, and his fatigue was awakened again and again by Ying Lan's gentle push and call.
"Is the mission going well?" took advantage of Gu Lichuan's efforts to drink water, Ying Lan asked him.
Gu Lichuan nodded, and then put the cup of dry water on the table: "Overall, it's quite smooth, except that the white fox always takes the lead in dying." β
Knowing this, Ying Lan laughed.
"However, we met another wave of people who wanted to kill the boss, and we had a few tricks with them. For some reason, Gu Wangchuan, who saw Lingering Lan, suddenly couldn't help but think of the masked woman in black.
"Yes. As she listened, she thought of the two killers.
"We were attacked tonight as well. β
"What did you say?"
"Andre and I were shopping when we found out that the stars had been attacked, so we rushed to help. Ying Lan said lightly, without a worried look at all.
"What kind of person dares to attack the stars?" Gu Lichuan looked at the coffee table with some concern.
"I don't know, not only did I have the ability to attack him, but I also injured his arm. β
Gu Lichuan put on an expression of disbelief - he had already seen the performance of the stars in the Moonlight City, not only flattened the insect king, but also burned Yueling who turned into a god with his own strength, saying that someone could hurt him, Gu Lichuan couldn't believe it anyway.
"It's true," it seemed that Gu Lichuan didn't believe her words, and Ying Lan nodded firmly, "It's two people in black, dressed very professionally, and they look like people in some organization." β
Gu Lichuan nodded, but began to think in his heart: Is it a coincidence that we suffered the same attack in different places at the same time? Or is it not the people of the same organization who came to cause trouble?
Thinking of this, Gu Lichuan looked at his watchβtwo o'clock in the morning.
"Isn't it...... It's time to sleep?" Gu Lichuan asked timidly to Ying Lan.
Thankfully, Yinglan yawned and stretched, "You're right, it's time to sleep." I'm sorry you're so tired, and I'll let you show me the clothes. β
Gu Lichuan waved his hand helplessly: "It's okay, who asked me to send someone under the fence." β
"Why don't you send someone to live with me," Ying Lan pouted, disagreeing with this statement, "First, I also lived in your house for a few days, so we can be regarded as a courtesy; β
Gu Lichuan smiled approvingly, pressed his knees with both hands and struggled to get up: "Yes, yes, what you say is what you say." β
"Then I'll go back to the house, you go to rest early. With that, Ying Lan picked up a few clothes that she had thrown on the sofa, turned around and walked towards the house.
"Wait, Lingering. Looking at Ying Lan's back, Gu Lichuan suddenly thought of the information he got from Bai Fox and Mu Yi today, about Ying Lan's family history.
The second miss of the Wuming family, did you really escape marriage and come here?
"Huh?" Lingering Lan turned around, her long dark hair glowing like the hand of God in the light.
Looking at her eyes, what Gu Lichuan wanted to say was bitten on his lip. After a few seconds of pause, he shook his hand.
"Good night. β
With a slight look of satisfaction on her face, she nodded, and then returned the same blessing.
"Good night. β
Then, holding her clothes, she continued to her room.
Gu Lichuan looked at her back and felt the shallow smile on his face, which must have been a very embarrassing and ugly smile.
"Tut-tut-tut, it's shameful. From the couch came the disdainful sneer of the silver pupils.
Gu Lichuan lowered his head and found that his other self was sitting on the sofa, looking at him with disgust: "Do you know how obscene your smile is now." β
Gu Lichuan was embarrassed to reach for the water cup and kettle, trying to hide his embarrassment: "Why did you come out?"
The cold water hits the wall of the cup, making a crisp sound.
"There's no one around, can't I come out to sit and chat with you," Yintong looked at Gu Lichuan and stretched out his middle finger to him, "You shouldn't forget your brother when you have a daughter-in-law, right?" Don't you forget that you just kissed her unexpectedly once, and you want to catch up with her so soon? β
Gu Lichuan also replied with a middle finger of the silver pupil: "Please don't fart indiscriminately, although I like Ying Lan very much, but I won't take this opportunity to live with her to do something despicable." β
Yintong got up and walked into the house helplessly: "Whatever you want, anyway, I'm going to sleep now, and I am running around with you, a little bastard, and you don't know how to be grateful." Alas, young people nowadays......"
"What are you doing in the house?"
What Gu Lichuan meant was that the silver pupils that appeared in the outside world were just the product of the scene projected in Gu Lichuan's heart in his own eyes, and they did not exist in the eyes of others. So even if he went to the house, he would not lie on the bed and fall asleep peacefully like a normal person, let alone lie in bed with Gu Lichuan's brotherly affection.
Silver Hitomi grabbed the door frame with one hand, leaned back with her whole body, and made the coquettish movements of a nightclub girl: "You have to play a full set of acting." β
As he spoke, as soon as the silver pupil turned around, the appearance of Ying Lan appeared in front of his Gu Lichuan.
"You see, in your heart, I can become all kinds of things," the silver pupil that turned into a haunting Lan twisted her waist coquettishly, "you just have to be a little bit old, people have to learn to be self-sufficient." β
After speaking, he smiled charmingly and slipped into Gu Lichuan's room.
Gu Lichuan glanced at his silver pupils, put the cup full of water on the table, and kept repeating a word in his mouth.
"Perverted. β
And now, the sun seemed to have risen, Gu Lichuan got up from the bed and walked to the living room while rubbing his messy hair. The clock showed half past eleven, and Gu Lichuan felt that he was really tired, and he would get up so late.
"Where's Yinglan?" while muttering to himself, Gu Lichuan looked in several other directions in the living room.
Suddenly, the attraction from the sense of smell made Gu Lichuan give up the visual search - he walked directly to the kitchen.
Ying Lan was standing in front of the stove, fiddling with the shovel and pot in her hand with extremely unskilled techniques, waving her hand from time to time because of the rising oil smoke, making a "cough" sound, and in the pot, there was a lump of dark substance that I don't know what it was.
Sensing Gu Lichuan's figure, Ying Lan turned around, smiled embarrassedly at him, and took a step towards the front of the pot, blocking it behind him. It looks like asking for help and covering up incriminating evidence.
Gu Lichuan stepped forward and took the shovel from her hand and poked at the unknown dark matter in the pot.
"Yinglan, what is this?"
"Nothing. Ying Lan looked at the ceiling of the kitchen casually, trying her best to hide her embarrassment.
"Your cold temperament is starting to haunt you again. Gu Lichuan laughed, reached out and touched the tip of her nose.
was lightly touched by him, and Ying Lan's face turned red. However, Gu Lichuan didn't pay attention, and turned around to deal with the pot of dark matter.
"Yinglan, these things probably can't be saved, so let's throw them away. β
"Oh...... Oh, okay, then throw it away. β
"If you want to learn how to cook, I can teach you later. β
"Uh-huh, okay. β
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Excuse me, is it Mr. Gu Lichuan?" The courier brother was wearing bright overalls and holding a very delicate envelope in his hand.
"yes. Gu Lichuan nodded.
"This," the courier brother presented the envelope to Gu Lichuan with both hands, "Your letter." β
Gu Lichuan stretched out his hand to take the letter and looked at the letter with incredible eyes.
