Chapter 16: Su Mo's Question
Taking the subway was a very tedious thing, but since it was already nine o'clock in the evening, it was not as crowded as during the day, and Nadi found a rare empty seat and quickly sat down.
The scenery outside the car window recedes rapidly, and the subway sometimes rises into the air, sometimes diving into the earth, and the flickering lights make Nadi's eyes a little uncomfortable. He yawned and looked over to his side, a labyrinth of railroad tracks and overpasses suspended between buildings.
The railroad tracks and overpasses here resemble intertwined roots around large trees, and in some cases, they have even reached the height of the rooftops of some buildings. When you drive through the city in a car, you will sigh at the terrifying height of the overpass like a roller coaster, and you will hesitate at the next intersection and do not know what to do, like the ups and downs of life, confused and helpless.
The loneliness and helplessness of being in the steel jungle is like a broken gas cylinder that fills the entire North Sea, and everyone here feels the same way.
It was as if in a split second, Nadi was in a café with a quaint finish. The old European wall clock struck and the time pointed to 9:30. The elegant piano sound slowly drifted and whispered softly "Autumn Whispers". A pot of steaming coffee is brewing on the baroque table, and the aroma of cocoa and the sound of the piano linger like a lover's lovers.
However, this was obviously of no use to Nadi, and he glanced at Su Mo, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, with some disgust, and the dissatisfaction in his expression grew. In his opinion, there should have been a table of big fish and meat waiting for him to enjoy, and this bitter coffee liquid was not as good as a bottle of two and five pieces of Coke soda to quench his thirst.
He took out the mineral water bottle he carried with him from his trouser pocket and drank two sips, and then walked up to Su Mo with a majestic and angry scream
"Damn, there's a beautiful woman with no clothes on!"
Sure enough, with his call, Su Mo opened his eyes, he was not awakened by the content of the call, but the call itself woke him up.
"Mr. Nadi, you're here."
He politely greeted and clapped his hands
"Waiter, serve!"
Su Mo, who was wearing a brand-name suit, seemed to be an employee of a large company.
A delicious Western meal was gradually served on the table, Nadi didn't bother to say anything, threw away the knife, took the fork and devoured it, and said vaguely while eating:
"If you want to thank me, that's not enough......"
"Mr. Nadi, I actually called you here today because I want to ask you something."
Su Mo lit a cigarette, and his deep black eyes were full of confusion.
"Something to ask me?"
Nadi looked up, a few sticks of pasta stuck to his lips.
"Oh? I just have something to ask you, you kid should be just an ordinary person, how do you know about the existence of the fish-man? “
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his mouth had stopped chewing.
"Whew."
Su Mo spat out a puff of blue smoke and looked out the window, the coffee on the table didn't move.
"K1868 train, I used to take it."
Nadi suddenly leaned forward, staring at Su Mo with his eyes, and muttered with a strange arc at the corners of his mouth:
"That train is not for humans. Someone in the deep sea, eyeing you! “
Hearing this, Su Mo's fingers trembled violently, and the half of the cigarette fell to the ground unsteadily, splashing a few sparks.
"I don't want to be involved in those things, I just want to live my life quietly."
"Who isn't?"
Nadi replied, a rare frown.
"I don't mean to provoke those things."
Su Mo explained, he just wanted to ask how he could stay out of the matter, these days of commuting, he felt that Sister Orange's company was really a little weird. And since that time he came back, he quietly found that in the crowd, danger is everywhere, not only fish people, but also more terrifying unknown creatures.
"Haha, you just don't provoke?"
Nadi seemed to hear the funniest joke, and he almost laughed, and coughed a few times before lighting a cigarette and saying slowly:
"The embarrassment of the world is that not everyone is as qualified as you are. You are polite to others to push and shove, you humble others are arrogant, you swallow your anger and others kick your nose and eyes. You dress up gracefully, others knock you off the subway with an elbow, making you embarrassed, and the quality does not require others, only restraining yourself! ”
"So what should I do?"
Su Mo's expression became even more confused, even with a hint of panic. He was afraid of those things, and he was even more afraid that he would affect Sister Orange, and he had no strength to protect her!
"If it's me, whoever provokes me, I'll beat him until he doesn't dare to provoke!"
Nadi seemed to remember something, his eyes were stained with bloodshots, his fists clenched tightly, and suddenly he smashed the wooden dining table, and the soup spilled all over the ground.
At this moment, everyone in the café looked this way, and the waiter quickly ran over and counted the damage while cleaning up the wreckage.
"Why don't you do this, boy, you call your sister here, let's go have a supper and talk slowly!"
"Eh, can you stop calling me a kid? We seem to be about the same age. ”
Su Mo said helplessly.
"Good! Brothers. ”
He suddenly let out a loud scream, slapped the table and stood upright. Shocked, everyone around looked at this side again.
"From today on, you are my brother, tell me something, be on call, you see, your sister is ......"
Speaking of this, he unconsciously became obscene, only to see him rubbing his hands, licking his lips involuntarily with his tongue, and the power released from his eyes has exploded.
"It's getting late, so let's try to ask her out to dinner tomorrow."
Su Mo explained slowly. In his opinion, this Nadi is not simple, just a simple appointment to eat has an extra layer of protection, why not.
"Well, that's all for today, thank you for your hospitality!"
This is the end of this meeting, and the two naturally go back to their respective homes. But in this thick night, no one knows what will happen in the next second.
Su Mo's home, also known as Sister Orange's, lives in a building in the business circle of Jinghai District, where it is quiet and quiet, which is really a rare treasure. This price is naturally expensive.
As usual, he took the subway to Jinghai District Pedestrian Street Station, and then followed the street into an alley, and at the end of the alley was his garden. But at this moment, a dark shadow in front of him suddenly passed him. He glanced at it slightly, and at this glance, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and in the faint light, the black shadow wearing a hat was the fishman clerk in the mall a few days ago!
