Chapter 55: Late at Night
"Thank you for the hot milk." Putting down the glass, Chen Motong pulled the hem of his coat without a trace, tried to make himself look more energetic, and sat up straight on the sofa again.
Her favorite dark purple dress was already soaking wet, and it should still be spinning in the washing machine at Aunt Lu Mingfei's house, and now she was wearing only clothes that she had grabbed from the closet. It's very comfortable to wear, but no matter how you look at home, but sitting with Li Su, who is wearing a black trench coat from the executive department, is always inexplicably shorter.
But fortunately, she has never been the kind of person who has to rely on clothes to support the field. Taking a deep breath, Chen Motong asked the question in his heart: "You are also wanted?" Why? Did you have something to do with the murder of the headmaster? ”
"What do you think?" Li Su shook the cocktail in his hand. "I'm wanted for the same reason as yours. I also absconded to find Chu Zihang. ”
"Really? When did Lu Mingfei tell you about Chu Zihang? Chen Motong was noncommittal.
Now that she is completely away from home, Li Su should have no need to lie.
Although her face was expressionless, and she even warned herself in her heart that the other party's words might not be credible, she was still secretly relieved. He wasn't from the Academy, nor was he the most horrible person behind this incident, or even their partner. This is undoubtedly good news for them who have suffered from the enemy's back.
"He didn't tell me. I'm the same as him, I still remember Chu Zihang's incident. He tapped his temple. I remember him talking to Lu Mingfei, who had just finished eating, not what Lu Mingfei had gotten into Abdullah Abbas's car. ”
As he spoke, he gazed at the colorful liquor in the goblet, as if admiring the colorful texture through the light. Suddenly, he looked away and looked at Chen Motong, who was sitting opposite, his dark brown pupils hidden behind the layered liquid.
"I remember him rushing towards Fenrir in the maintenance truck, and Fenrir faked his death, and he gambled to kill Jörmungad, not Abdullah Abbas who stabbed Hela before it took shape."
I still remember that he wanted to untie Lu Mingfei's knot, but in the end Lu Mingfei failed. He was silent for a while, and promised Lu Mingfei that if Lu Mingfei wanted to break the axle of the wedding car to rob the kiss when you got married, he would also help. Speaking of this, Li Su laughed softly.
Chen Motong was in a trance, she was collecting the fragments of the person named Chu Zihang through Li Su's description. The fog cleared little by little, and she felt like she could see the person named Chu Zihang who didn't say anything but took everything in her eyes, who was not good at words but had a mother-in-law.
After all, the fog that can be dispersed is too little, less than one in ten.
"How do I know you're not lying to me?"
Although he was still a little hard-mouthed, Chen Motong had already vaguely believed Li Su's words in his heart. She still remembered that Lu Mingfei told her when he was on the road that the boy named Chu Zihang used a conch as a paperweight. As he spoke, Lu Mingfei also sighed, maybe the senior brother was just sullen, not that he didn't speak, but that he said everything to the conch. If you turn that conch over, you may still be able to hear all kinds of his mothers-in-law.
Lu Mingfei was complaining about Chu Zihang in his memory, but Chen Motong vaguely felt that he was also very similar to this. In fact, it's not just Lu Mingfei, everyone is like this, right? Who would want to tell anyone else about something as intimate as a heart-to-heart conversation? How do you tell the person concerned about such a thing as bursting the axle? Do you want Lu Mingfei to smile and tell her that senior sister, I have actually been preparing to blow the axle at your wedding, I hope you don't mind?
In fact, she is like this, she also has some such and such things, and she doesn't want to tell other people.
So...... Chen Motong came back to his senses and looked at Li Su, who didn't speak again after saying that. He just took small sips of the cocktail as if he were going to drink it until he was old. He didn't look at Chen Motong anymore, but stared at the storm outside.
Li Su, what are you hiding in your heart?
"In the end, these are just your memories, and now Chu Zihang only lives in the memories of you and Lu Mingfei." Chen Motong shrugged. "It's easy to believe me, but what about the evidence? Evidence of the existence of that person named Chu Zihang. Hair, fingerprints, photos, used things...... Anything goes. ”
"Would it be so much trouble to have these things?" Li Su looked back.
At this moment, Lu Mingfei came back from the dance floor of the bar. He was still wearing the same Shilan Middle School uniform, but a few unusual folds indicated that the dress had only been worn for a short time.
Li Su and Chen Motong stopped talking, Li Su continued to sip the cup of Cinderella, and Chen Motong closed his eyes and clasped his hands on his chest, leaning on the soft backrest. She occasionally glanced at the mirror that Li Su had placed on the table, and in the mirror were four children in school uniforms laughing loudly.
Not long after, Chen Motong beckoned. There was no need to make any sound, the waiters who were ready to serve had already hurried over. Chen Motong didn't speak, and pointed to Li Su, who was sitting opposite, to be precise, to the wine glass in his hand. There was no need for verbal communication, he had already understood what Chen Motong meant, and after bowing deeply to this girl, he walked away quickly.
It wasn't long before an identical cup of Cinderella was served. Taking a sip from the goblet, Chen Motong's face turned green, and she almost spit out the wine in her mouth, but her good upbringing played a role, and she still swallowed the wine in her mouth. Raising her head, she looked at Li Su who was sitting opposite in surprise, but Li Su didn't react, and was as quiet as an old monk.
They didn't order anything more, and all kinds of wine were constantly being sent to the table where Lu Mingfei was. Four teenagers and girls who looked like high school students raised their glasses and drank binge, and three of them were already flushed, apparently drinking high, or they had already drunk high. A few minutes ago, they were on a drunken rampage, and no one was around.
Seeing that he was almost drunk, Lu Mingfei, who looked like usual, proposed to go back first tonight, and the three girls were all looking forward to him, of course there would be no objections. After that, the noisiest guest in the bar finally returned, and everyone was relieved, whether it was the waiter or the customer.
"Isn't this wine?" It wasn't until Lu Mingfei and them left that Chen Motong asked the doubts in his heart. She'd been pouring beer for a few days, and she wouldn't forget the taste of alcohol, but this glass of Cinderella didn't feel like it at all, like a simple glass of juice.
"Cinderella is meant to be a non-alcoholic drink." Li Su put down the dry wine glass. "It's my habit not to drink when I'm doing errands."
"Got it." Chen Motong nodded, got up and left, and walked very simply. The things that should be said have already been said, and she doesn't want to say anything to Li Su now, and I believe Li Su doesn't want to either.
Li Su really didn't say anything. He silently looked at Chen Motong, who disappeared on the dance floor, and sat quietly for a few minutes, after which he called the waiter and put a few bills on the table.
"Two cups of hot milk, take away."
