Volume II, Chapter 18: The Truth-Teller (I)

1

Early in the morning, I came to Sensugi New Station.

Speaking of last night's incident, it's really a bit legendary.

After discussion, I decided to go back to Harbour in the morning. Wind Chimes remained at Sensugi No. 2 Middle School and continued to volunteer. My mission was taken over by the glasses junior.

Although I am very sorry for them, I still decided to go and meet Zhang Minggang, Zhang Minggang must know something - about the parents of incense. Besides, this kind of big man is not so easy to see.

The reason for this is that Qiao Mu was timid and wanted to find someone to accompany him, so he called me as his wingman. It's a stupid reason, but if you put yourself in another place, I might do the same.

I seem to have come a little early, after all, I don't have a sense of time, and I always come out early so as not to be late.

Ah—it's 8 o'clock.

Looking at the clock hanging at the station, I knew what time it was.

The train departs at 9 o'clock, so there's still an hour. I sat on the bench and squinted my eyes, I hadn't slept much yesterday.

Of course, the thought of having a wind chime next to me makes me feel uneasy.

I don't know how long it took for me to be woken up by arbors and incense sticks.

"Get in the car—"

The incense stick is half-clenched in the right hand, and the lips are against the hollow part, quietly blowing on my ears.

"Ahh Ah......h

It scared me a lot.

I stood up, how could I fall asleep, what if the luggage was stolen.

After getting in the car, about an hour, I was back in my hometown, Harbor City.

After all, it is a small city, and compared to Qianshan City, it seems much more 'empty'. However, I like it even more.

Following the incense stick, I got on the bus at the entrance of the station, and after more than 20 minutes, I felt that the surrounding scene was a little familiar as soon as I got off the bus.

Over here...... Close to the beach and facing the sea. The beach is lined with single-family houses. If I'm not mistaken, Sister Ye Xin and I met the 'man surrounded by flames' near here on December 8th.

I was led to the door of a villa that was very different from the others. At least, he was much more glamorous than the others, and it was obvious from his appearance that he was at least inhabited.

"Come in."

The incense stick took out the key and opened the door. I was scared to death, I thought that the rich family's family would have many housekeepers and maids, but it turned out to be quite down-to-earth.

I entered the door and took off my shoes.

"Uncle—"

Incense incense called.

Then, a middle-aged uncle in pajamas, messy hair, and a full beard ran down from the stairs.

"The incense stick is back."

He seemed to be happy.

But I was shocked. Is the man in front of him Zhang Minggang? It's hard for me to associate his image with a wealthy businessman.

"That...... This is ......"

Maybe it's because I'm in a higher position, so the incense stick opens its five fingers and points at me, ready to explain.

"Ah, I see, this is the lover of incense."

Zhang Minggang looked at me and nodded with satisfaction.

Burst?!

Yes?!

Fortunately, I didn't drink water, otherwise it would definitely squirt.

What's the situation?

"Ahh......h

The incense stick shook his hand in a panic, but Zhang Minggang didn't pay attention.

He walked up to me and patted me on the back.

"There's a breath in you."

He said.

Really? I took a good shower. Although because the wind chimes were in the room last night, they were washed quickly. Is it because of the smell on the body?

"The breath of the strong."

He nodded.

What is it......

“……”

This uncle, will he really have a dispute with incense?

The previous speculation was so stupid.

"Boy, what's your name?"

"My name is Lin Benxu......"

"yes, what a name!"

I turned my head to look at the arbor in embarrassment.

Qiao Mu nodded and gave a thumbs up.

Huh?! Why did Qiao Mu acquiesce, isn't the incense stick your 'lover'? How did you become me?

The scene is very embarrassing, but in order not to embarrass Zhang Minggang, let's continue to act. Whoever is supposed to be a lover can do it.

"And who is this?"

Zhang Minggang noticed the presence of the arbor.

"I ...... I'm a friend of Lin Benxu. ”

"Oh oh, welcome, welcome. Sit down, I'll serve you tea. ”

"I'll go."

The incense stick took the lead, and Zhang Minggang had to continue to sit on the sofa.

"Uncle Zhang, are you the only one in the family?"

"Yes, my wife and children are in England now. I've only been back here for a bit of a matter lately. ”

Business things? It's hard to imagine that this middle-aged uncle would use such a vicissitudes of life to meet people.

"Ben Xu, have you seen the Land Rover downstairs?"

"Ah, it seems to be."

"Now he's yours."

As he spoke, Zhang Minggang took out a car key and put it on the table.

“……”

I finally knew why Qiao Mu didn't dare to see him, it was really scary. What does this make me?

"No, no, no, no reactive power is not ......"

I shirked.

"How can there be such a thing, taking good care of my family's incense sticks is the greatest merit, I am very optimistic about you."

"Even so......"

How to alleviate this embarrassment.

"If you want to get such a valuable gift, you should wait until the day you marry the incense stick."

This is the most false thing I have ever said since I was born.

"Hahaha—that's interesting, okay then."

Zhang Minggang said with a laugh.

Holding the incense stick of tea, his face is flushed.

It seems that things are going in a worse direction.

After some conversation, the atmosphere can be regarded as happy, and Qiao Mu is undoubtedly the hero of resolving the embarrassment.

"It's not too early, with the Benxu brothers here, I can rest assured that the incense sticks will stay here."

"Thank you ......"

I chimed in.

"Let's have lunch at our house, eh, I usually eat instant noodles at home, and there are no ingredients at home. There's a food supermarket nearby, so I'm going to buy something. ”

"Ah, no need, thank you, uncle."

I replied.

"Eh, I can't say that, I want to talk to you again."

His momentum was slightly intimidating.

"I'll go buy it."

Incense stood up and said.

"Hmm...... It's okay, it's not good to let the girl go alone, so let's go with him. ”

"Ah, no problem."

Qiao Mu replied.

"I just have something I want to say to Ben Xu."

“……”

The incense stick has not said a word, and it seems that there is something to be afraid of.

"Okay, let's go."

Qiao Mu put on his clothes.

Before going out, the incense stick looked at me with uneasy eyes, which made me feel frightened.

Click, the door closed, and peace was restored to the villa.

"Ben Xu, come to my room, I'll show you something."

Zhang Minggang said with a smile, still looking very kind.

I had to follow him into the room.

["Eh—what the hell are your intentions? ”】

Zhang Minggang's tone changed suddenly, and the original kindness disappeared completely.
