Twenty-eighth, the old friend (Chinese)
The low voice was full of helplessness, Wang Lin didn't answer, Liu Yuanhua didn't say anything again, both of them fell silent, no one moved the wine in the cup anymore, they just sat quietly like that, their eyes looked at the orange liquid in the cup somewhere far away.
The soft melody flowed softly in the bar, and it wasn't until the three guests gently walked out of the store, and the bartender quietly and skillfully cleaned it up, Wang Lin finally picked up the cup and took a sip, but the smile on his face had long since disappeared, and he spoke softly with a somewhat complicated expression.
“…… When you sealed the Five Elements Sword back then, did you ever think that it would become like this? ”
Looking at the slowly melting ice, Liu Yuanhua shook his head slightly.
"Nope. I should say that at the time, I didn't even understand why 'that person' chose such an unstable city as the sealing site. ”
When he heard "that person", Wang Lin's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of complicated feelings, like nostalgia and pain. Turning the smaller ice cubes in the cup, listening to the crisp sound of the ice cubes hitting the walls of the cup, he sighed and curled the corners of his mouth bitterly.
“…… It's ironic......"
Picking up the glass and drinking all the wine inside, Wang Lin put the cup with only ice cubes back on the bar, his face was not full of drunkenness, but it was full of unconcealable grief.
"Liu Yuanhua, now...... You shouldn't get confused, right? ”
This clueless question did not make Liu Yuanhua show a puzzled expression, but a shallow confusion appeared.
“…… I do not know. After all, I've been waiting for thirty years, and it's just this obsession...... You can't easily disappear. ”
"Is it......" Looking at the ice cubes in the cup, Wang Lin smiled lightly, "I'm not confused, but...... It's not a good thing! After all, it's been thirty years, and it's ...... time."
With a long sigh of helplessness, Wang Lin stood up: "Okay, I have to go back, Xiao Yu is still waiting for me." Sometime...... If there is another day, let's talk about it again, Liu Yuanhua...... No, it should be said......" glanced at Liu Yuanhua, who didn't raise his head, his face showed a lazy smile when he first came in, and he gently added the two words at the end.
"Kono."
After speaking, Wang Lin strode out of the bar, leaving only Liu Yuanhua sitting there quietly, and then he drank all the wine in the cup like Wang Lin, and put three banknotes next to the wine glass, then turned around and stood up, revealing a handsome face that looked in his twenties, and those deep eyes had a mature vicissitudes that even a fifty or sixty-year-old person could not have, but it also exuded an unconcealable majesty.
Like an emperor.
The bartender behind him quietly collected his two glasses, and he walked quietly towards the exit, and when he stepped into a small shadow after a few steps, his figure disappeared silently.
The soft music flowed softly, and the bar was as quiet as ever, and no one noticed the silent change, as if the "person" had never existed.
Walking slowly against the crowd on the busy street, Wang Lin's expression was as lazy and leisurely as an uncle with waste wood, but there was still a trace of sadness in his eyes when he talked to Liu Yuanhua, or Ji Ye. He walked slowly with his hands in his pockets until he turned into the next street and stepped into another old bar.
A bar called "Shang Wu".
Since almost all the manpower was sent out to secretly maintain order in Zhongkun, there was no one drinking in the usually noisy hall at the moment, only the tall and sturdy Brother Wu stood behind the bar and patiently wiped the glass. Hearing the sound of opening the door, Brother Wu immediately raised his eyes, and when he saw that it was Wang Lin with a leisurely face, Brother Wu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then put down the cup and said, "Boss, you're back." ”
With a grin, Wang Lin nodded and asked, "Is Xiao Yu upstairs?" ”
"Yes, not long after Brother Yu came, the other fox faces basically went out, leaving only Brother Tyrant and Brother Bai upstairs."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just here to meet Xiao Yu."
Laughing and waving his hand, Wang Lin lazily walked up the stairs under Brother Wu's respectful gaze, and then leisurely walked through the dim and silent corridor, directly opened the door with a huge feather carved at the end and walked in.
Still I don't know whether to say it's a conference room or a living room, two people are sitting on the sofa next to them, one is Zhang Longqian who has taken off his mask, and the other is a fox face in a white coat sitting opposite her, who seems to be talking to her.
Seeing the two people who turned their heads to look after hearing the sound of the door opening, Wang Lin's face immediately showed a bright smile: "Oh! White, you're there too! Xiao Yu, I'm back! Come on, come and give me a welcome hug! ”
Saying that, Wang Lin opened his arms to Zhang Longqian, and the fox face painted with white lotus patterns under his left eye raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing a young but somewhat pale face, he bent his eyes and smiled gently at Wang Lin: "Please stop, boss, you are just a ** uncle." ”
"Wow! I haven't seen you for so long, and I'm still so mean when I talk in vain! Wang Lin immediately looked injured, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhang Longqian smiled lightly, then stood up and looked at Wang Lin at the door, and bowed politely.
"Welcome back, boss."
"Sure enough, Xiao Yu is the most sensible! Next year, the youngest is so mature, what a contrast! ”
Saying that, Wang Lin stepped forward quickly and wanted to hug Zhang Longqian happily, but the white fox standing next to him grabbed his wrist and stood in front of Zhang Longqian to block Wang Lin, the white fox's face was still a gentle smile, but the words he said were merciless.
"Boss, if you dare to ** her, I can't guarantee that the medicine on my body won't suddenly disappear!"
The white fox in a white coat looked like a thin doctor, and it was not surprising that he would carry the medicine with him, but the gentle tone revealed a clear coldness, and it was obvious that the medicine would disappear at that time.
Retracting his arm under the smile of the white fox, Wang Lin sat down in the place where the white fox had been, but his face was still full of smiles, as if this was not his own subordinates threatening him, but just a joke between friends - or even family members.
Seeing Wang Lin sitting lazily on the sofa, Zhang Longqian also sat back, and the white fox sat next to Zhang Longqian, smiling and looking at Wang Lin opposite, as if he was politely waiting for him to speak, but as if he was gently paying attention to whether Wang Lin would "harass" Zhang Longqian again.
Without any reaction to the white fox's smiling gaze with a knife hidden, Wang Lin just looked at Zhang Longqian and asked with a smile, "Xiao Yu, aren't you going to have a final exam next month?" I didn't give you a task in order to let you take the exam well, and now you say you want to go out, what's going on? Aren't you afraid that your father will worry? ”
"Because it's a sudden activity at the school, I can't help it, but with my homeroom teacher with me, I'm not the only student, and the school has also said that if you participate in this action, all the credits for this semester will be given to us, and it doesn't matter if you don't take the final exam, so it's no problem. But if you want to say that my father is worried......" Zhang Long couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Actually, I haven't been home for three days in a row, and I went back before I came, just seeing my father was about to explode, and he was angry at me and preached, and it took a long time to listen to me, but I might not be able to come back in time for the exam......" She didn't say any more, but shook her head with palpitations.
Wang Lin laughed: "Your father is still as strict!" But since you're going to come and talk to me about the arrangements for the meeting in your absence, it proves that he still agrees, right? ”
"Hmm. After all, my dad is a very understanding and good father. Nodding slightly, a warm smile appeared on Zhang Longqian's face.
Looking at Zhang Longqian, who looked a little innocent like that, Wang Lin smiled lightly, then stretched out his big hand and rubbed her head, and withdrew his hand before the white fox's eyes showed a cold light, and then leaned on the back of the sofa and said with a smile: "Since your father has agreed to your departure, I have no reason to stop you, so let's discuss your work handover." ”
Looking at the lazy and lazy uncle with thick branches and leaves, Zhang Longqian touched his hair that was kneaded and messy, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and his soft eyes seemed to be mixed with some gratitude.
"Yes, boss."
