Chapter 13: He X Appears
"Do you know any scholars?" An Ran asked casually.
"Huh? No. Chen Xiaolazi looked dazed, she had only been here for a few days, where would she know any scholars.
The two of them walked around all morning, and they were hungry near noon.
When Chen Xiaolan was taken into this restaurant called "Yihe Restaurant" by An Ran, she felt a lack of confidence when she touched the small money bag on her waist. It turned out that in the world, she went out to eat with her good friends, and the money for the meal was always divided equally, and before each other had no financial strength, they agreed to pay their own money.
"Enron, let's go." Chen Xiaolazy tugged at the corner of An Ran's clothes and whispered. Decorated with the store's priceless furnishings, she glanced at the tables around her with sumptuous and exquisite meals, and even the guests who were eating looked at it, and the conversation and laughter did not look like they were from ordinary people. It is estimated that the price of a meal here cannot be less. She wanted to change to a cheap store as soon as possible while Xiao Er hadn't taken them into the seat yet.
An Ran was a little puzzled, looking at Chen Xiaolazi's worried appearance, and guessed her thoughts, "I invite you this time, thank you for accompanying me for a day before." "I didn't expect her to really treat him as a friend, and she didn't want to get anything in return from him.
Chen Xiaolazy experienced An Ran's stubborn temper, so he obediently followed to the window seat on the second floor of the restaurant.
After An Ran finished ordering, she drank tea and leisurely looked at Chen Xiaolazi, whose eyes were shining, and the strange expression on her face made people can't help but be infected.
Elastic, melt-in-your-mouth Shih Tzu tofu, tender sea bass...... Every dish was served, Chen Xiaolan smiled happily, she didn't say a word, just that satisfied demeanor was enough to express her thoughts.
"The taste of the world is refreshing!" After eating and drinking, Chen Xiaolazy leaned lazily on the seat, feeling that she was about to float, and she finally understood the emotion of the Dongpo monk.
"If you like it, come back later." An Ran smiled lightly, his eyes full of soft light. He was about to ask her where she was going to play again, when his thoughts were interrupted by a playful voice.
"Yo! It's been a long time since I've seen you dressed like this...... "The person who came hugged An Ran from behind, and before he finished speaking, he was glared at by An Ran fiercely and stopped. An Ran took advantage of Chen Xiaolazi's lack of attention, and whispered a few words in the ear of the visitor, and this noble young man nodded implicitly.
Chen Xiaolazi didn't pay attention to the small actions of the two at all, because there was a prompt sound in her mind that was extremely familiar to her again.
"Trigger the target person, White Night, the tenth son of the White King, male, eighteen years old. Three years later, he joined the World Destruction Committee and became the ninth member. ”
Chen Xiaolan was completely awake, and she looked at the little prince who appeared in front of her. His silver-gray hair was cut flat and hung down to his shoulders, and there was a bright red curse mark on his eyebrows, like a closed third eye, which was the exclusive mark of the White Ripple royal family.
Bai Ye was wearing a blue-purple short-sleeved shirt with a scabbard studded with fine gems hanging from his waist, and he was staring at her with a pair of slender Danfeng eyes with considerable interest.
The appearance of the second target person caught Chen Xiaolazy off guard, things changed like a tornado, she hadn't done it yet, and the second one came.
I vaguely heard Bai Ye bow his head and tease An Ran, "Your vision is getting younger and younger." ”
Chen Xiaolazi's face was black, although this person's voice was soft, it was obviously intentional for her to hear it.
An Ran glanced at Bai Ye, ignored him, and signaled with his eyes when Chen Xiaolazi, who was opposite, would leave.
Chen Xiaolazy got up, Bai Ye pouted when he saw this, feeling bored, "It's boring." An Ran continued to ignore him and got up and went downstairs.
This little prince stood in place and looked at the two people downstairs, one red and one black, and the atmosphere was harmonious so that he couldn't melt in.
Oops, even this smiling wood is accompanied, Bai Ye grinned, he remembered An Ran's black clothes and black hair, it seems that his childhood friend has not told others his identity yet, interesting.
"Enron, who is he?" After Chen Xiaolazy got out of the restaurant, he remembered a key question. Why did An Ran, who is the secret guard of Su Mansion, know Bai Ye, it seems that the relationship between the two is still very familiar, is An Ran really just an ordinary secret guard, and he can ask the second young master Su Yan to get to know the son of the White King.
"Well, a friend, I met while doing a mission." An Ran's expression was very flat, and the answer also made Chen Xiaolazy feel perfunctory. As an undercover agent, she almost couldn't help but want to stay just now, and made a preliminary observation of Bai Ye, but because An Ran was there, she still held back and left in a hurry. She thought that she couldn't mess with herself, and she would take it step by step, at least figuring out Su Yan, who was in contact with her first, before going back.
And An Ran's answer just now made her suspicious, why didn't she just tell her that the person was the little prince Bai Ye, but instead covered it up.
Chen Xiaolazy put down the cranky thoughts in her heart and smiled, she couldn't doubt her friend at will, "Where are we going next?" ”
"I remember there was a creative bazaar with a lot of businessmen from other countries." An Ran breathed a sigh of relief and replied, he was afraid that Chen Xiaolan would continue to ask.
In the afternoon, Chen Xiaolan regained his vitality and shuttled through these foreign commodities with great interest. It turns out that there is no electric drive, and people can also use their creativity to build automatic machines out of wood and iron, as well as bright and dazzling exotic costumes, with unique designs, many of which are very similar to the costumes in the anime that Chen Xiaolan has seen.
Chen Xiaolazy refused An Ran's kindness to buy her things, and emphasized to him, "I only watch but don't buy."
Time passes silently, and once the seeds of doubt are planted in the heart, even if you don't think about it, they will grow secretly along the veins.
The atmosphere of the night market is always a reverie.
The red lanterns are lit, groups of sons and brothers are walking drunk, and the girls are singing like warblers and swallows to the passers-by, and the pedestrians are anxious or slow, coming out to relax, drink, and have fun...... In this unclear light, there is a look that is not there during the day.
Chen Xiaolazy tilted her head and stared at An Ran's side face, and the more she looked, the more she overlapped with a figure in her heart.
"What's wrong?" An Ran saw that she suddenly lost her smiling face, and wondered if she was tired.
"If you're tired, go back." He spoke, his voice was deep and magnetic, and for no reason it made Chen Xiaolan feel very similar to that person.
"Enron, let me ask you a question." Chen Xiao opened her mouth sullenly, and the doubt in her heart was already lush, making her chest feel very depressed.
An Ran snorted.
"Is there anything wrong with Second Young Master Su Yan when he is doing the task with you?" She stared into his eyes, and there was no emotion in An Ran's dark eyes, and he avoided Chen Xiaolazi's gaze, "No." ”
They had left the noisy night market, and there was silence all around, except for the lantern lanterns hanging on the rooftops to guide passers-by.
Chen Xiaolazi stopped, "Why did you tell the steward, and he agreed to let me leave for a day and a night." An Ran looked at her delicate face with seriousness, and she was questioning him.
What should come will always come, and he can't hide from it, he knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Enron no longer avoided her gaze. And after Chen Xiaolazy silently recited "Establish a connection and start analyzing", he listened to the voice echoing in his head and was speechless.
