Chapter 33: Escape
In a high-end Western restaurant, the Scottish-style decoration is embellished, and looking at the red plaid skirt on the waiter's lap, I can't help but recall the Spring Festival Gala that year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
That year, Uncle Zhao was still active on the screen, and Xiao Shenyang was not yet popular.
With the recent events in me, I suddenly felt that reality was starting to move farther and farther away from me.
If everything had been a dream, I might have woken up right away.
"Xiaowei?" Gu Liang sat opposite, awakening my reverie.
"Do you have anything in particular you'd like to eat?" He motioned for me to pick and choose from the menu.
I looked down at the different colors and colors on it, and the dazzling dishes lost their impulse.
"Whatever." Gently close the menu, pick up the lemonade on the table and take a sip. Gu Liang helped me order spaghetti and steak, but I just listened quietly and didn't give any opinion.
"Do you have something on your mind? Can you tell me about it? Gu Liang's calm expression and wise eyes are indeed the first choice of the best audience.
My fingers swirled back and forth with the glass, feeling a little down.
"Homesick."
He seemed to be sympathetic to my feelings, and nodded silently in response: "Hold on a little longer, you will be able to go back soon, and I also want to accompany you back to your hometown to see your parents." ”
I wanted to refuse his kindness, but after thinking about it, it was still unknown whether I could go back, maybe he just said it to reassure me.
Neither the pasta nor the steak made me taste anything, and it was completely different from the stewed goose I tasted last time in the village, and it seemed that whether the food was good or not was all in the mood.
Putting down the knife and fork in my hand, I looked at Gu Liang opposite, he was sitting there elegantly and straight, and he even looked very gentlemanly when eating. The approving glances around me made me feel even smaller.
Silent and didn't know how to speak.
Or did he notice my strangeness first, and whispered: "Xiaowei, what do you think of Zhang Meng?" Seeing that you've been here for so long, it seems like you're getting along well with her. ”
It's better to tell a story than not to say it.
"She's really nice, but it's a pity I haven't read the book, there are so many things I don't know."
Gu Liang nodded and continued: "You came too suddenly, it's a blessing that there was no accident." Ichiyu has gone too far in this matter, and I won't forgive her. ”
"Don't, forget it, don't stiffen your relationship because of me, just punish Xiaoshi." I still have to say good things about that jealous woman, am I too kind?
"Fan, did I mention this book to you?"
"Well, he said that "Ghost Pupil" belongs to what kind of A-level book, I don't know very much, but I found that after coming here, there will always be a few ghosts who will take the initiative to attack me."
"The books in the book house are divided into many levels, and according to the fate of human beings, most of them belong to the C or D class, because ordinary life is the mainstream of this world. And there are a few people left, such as Zhang Meng, a protagonist who is born with ghost eyes and can see through yin and yang, her story will be very bizarre and dangerous. ”
Gu Liang's explanation was very comprehensive, so I could understand it and listen clearly.
"I've been through so much, can my ordinary book also be raised from C-level to A-level height?"
"Do you care a lot about your books?" Gu Liang picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth.
Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't want to know their fate, such as when I can get married, who I will marry, and whether I will be happy after marriage...
"Xiaowei, listen to me, don't look for your book, because it's best not to know a lot of things."
Sure enough, people who are not controlled by fate can speak very easily.
I waved my hand and motioned for him to stop talking, and it would be better for us to talk back to Zhang Meng. In my own affairs, it is better to ask for others than for myself.
"Have you read the book "Ghost Pupil"?" I asked Gu Liang curiously.
"No, because the book has always been in Yiyu's hands, but I've heard her mention it a few times."
Oh~ No wonder she sent me here so easily. We don't have a clue about Zhang Meng, it's really exciting, and no one knows what will happen next.
Since I can't leave in a short time, it's better to do something for Zhang Meng and do my best to change her fate, I definitely can't deal with the hellish eyes, and it's good to help her find a good family to marry in the future.
I was thinking about how to help Zhang Meng, and Gu Liang kept staring at me intently.
"Xiaowei, what are you thinking?" He asked calmly.
"I want to help her, the man she likes surnamed Fu, I don't know what his character is."
I thought Gu Liang would open his mouth to stop my thoughts, but he unexpectedly agreed.
"Do whatever you want, and I'll be there to protect you."
His indulgence with me reminded me of Camellia Cold, when I didn't understand anything and was a little too indulgent, but he always had a smile on his face and allowed me to do whatever I wanted.
"Gu Liang, why are you doing this to me?" Am I his special being? Or is there some other reason why I don't really think I'm really special.
"There is no reason, I said, you are destined to enter the book house, destined to meet me, and destined to become my lover."
Cow break! This is like the classic line in "Journey to the West", is a marriage arranged by God big enough?
I don't know if I will become a monkey in the end, and I don't know if I lose it until I regret it.
I looked at Gu Liang with a stiff face, and the corners of my mouth twitched inadvertently.
"Well, when I didn't ask." Standing up to leave, I vowed never to discuss this with him again, and that it would be fine in any way, as long as it was all sloppy when it came to me.
It was already afternoon when I returned to the building where Zhang Meng worked, and I stood in the empty lobby on the first floor, looking at the brief introduction of the company on each floor, it turned out that I only knew the person's appearance and surname, and I didn't know which company he was in.
Gu Liang stood quietly behind me and didn't say anything.
"Uh..." I put my hand on the metal panel and slapped it hard. "Zhang Meng seems to have said that the person works downstairs from her, so we just need to look at the company below the 7th floor."
There are more than 40 companies left on the panel, and I think if I ask one by one, I should be able to find them the day after tomorrow.
Gu Liang patted me on the shoulder and walked around to him, and I saw him take out the pen from the pocket in his arms and write the word 'Fu' in the palm of his hand.
The palm of his hand swept over the text on the metal panel, and then a faint glow emanated.
"There is a person surnamed Fu on the fifth and third floors, but there is a woman on the third floor, it seems that the person you are looking for should be on the fifth floor."
It's amazing, but I guess I don't want to be too adoring.
"Hmm~~ then... Then let's go to the fifth floor to have a look." As I spoke, I casually pointed to the elevator door that had just reached the first floor.
