Volume 1 The Tide of Dusk Chapter 6 The Far Eastern Fortress (1)
An Yiran was woken up by a series of knocks on the door, of course, the door outside was from his bedroom.
When he got home last night, he rarely tossed and turned, and what was in his head was like a videotape, and he pressed the repeat button repeatedly, until the second half of the night, when his body functions were sluggish.
The increasingly frequent knocking on the door was like a drumbeat, and when his consciousness was about to disperse, it was forcibly recalled, followed by the cramped and soft call of his mother.
"Xiao An, Xiao An, get up quickly, someone is looking for you outside!"
"Ahh Yes... Got it, got it. ”
"Xiao An, hurry up, don't let the female classmates wait too long. But how come Mom has never seen each other, and who you're talking to secretly?"
"Ahh Know.. Huh?"
He muttered that he wanted to perfunctory, but his mother's words were waves, and the sleepiness in his mind was instantly washed away.
Female classmates? Where is the idle and panicked female classmate will come to the door to find him?
He was stunned for a moment, and then as if he understood something, he lifted the quilt and jumped up from the bed, turned his hand and unscrewed the door and rushed out.
The woman with long brown hair was standing outside the bedroom door, looking a little anxious, and when she saw An Yiran rushing out of the room, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a mysterious smile welled up on her eyebrows.
"Really, you don't tell your mother when you talk to someone?
The woman who looked to be in her early forties was his mother, and the years had not left much of a mark on this well-maintained face.
The sudden visit of her son's female friend completely stimulated the gossip heart of the woman, and she whispered to An Yiran.
Casually responding to his mother's series of questions, his eyes glanced towards the front hall, and sure enough, it was as he thought.
"So I'm still expecting something. He muttered quietly.
The figure in an army green casual jacket sat on the sofa in the living room, his long white legs exposed under the light blue denim shorts, and his hair was casually tied up in a high ponytail at the back of his head.
At this moment, she is still wearing a pair of square-framed glasses, a few strands of hair hang around the glasses, and her plain face without powder reveals a natural luster, looking quiet and elegant.
Sure enough, it was Lin Xiaojia.
He confirmed his guess, hurriedly walked to the living room, stood beside the coffee table, and put on a puzzled expression at Lin Xiaojia.
Lin Xiaojia still looked leisurely, looking at An Yiran who walked over violently next to him, and frowned.
"Can you change your clothes before you meet someone? ”
An Yiran's brain buzzed for a moment, and then he remembered that he was still wearing pajamas.
The sloppy plaid shorts and fat gray T-shirt, as well as the curly hair like an old Peking chicken wrap, were exposed in front of Lin Xiaojia's eyes, and a wave of heat buzzed from his face.
He quickly turned around, rushed back to the bedroom, and pulled out a set of jeans and a short black T, which he also quickly put on his body, and he had not worn clothes so quickly in his life.
Grabbing two handfuls of hair in front of the mirror, looking at the slightly softened arc in the mirror, he turned around and went back to the living room.
His mother had already sat on the sofa and chatted with Lin Xiaojia, and the parents looked happy, and the black lines on his face began to spread from his head.
What kind of weird family light comedy is this??
Seeing her son coming, her mother smiled and said, Xiao An, you don't want to introduce me? An Yiran said in her heart, how can I introduce this, you can't say that you are a colleague who protects the world, right?
"Lin Xiaojia, my college classmate, came to travel in the past two days. ”
It's not necessary to talk about panicking in front of his mother, and the ability to lie since he was a child has really come in handy now, and this not glorious ability makes him secretly happy in his heart.
"College classmates, where is Xiaolin?!"
"Auntie, I'm from Jiangsu. ”
"Ah, no wonder you're so smart! Since you're here, let Xiao An take you to play." ”
They really picked up the topic one by one, Lin Xiaojia smiled and patiently responded to every word of An's mother, and An's mother maintained a standard old mother's smile throughout the whole process, which obviously said that she was very satisfied with her son's classmate, and the weird picture made him a little crying and laughing.
couldn't let the two of them go on anymore, An Yiran made up her mind, walked to the sofa and pulled up Lin Xiaojia and wanted to go out.
"Mom, let's go out first, we said that we are going to the aquarium today, and it may be a little late to come back!"
He pulled Lin Xiaojia and explained to his mother while turning back.
Mother An looked at the picture of An Yiran pulling Lin Xiaojia and walking out, the smile on her face couldn't be concealed, and she waved her hand at the two of them vigorously and said Okay, okay, pay attention to safety, it would be better if we could go home and have a meal together at night! Lin Xiaojia also waved her hand with a smile and said Auntie, we are leaving, and An Yiran pulled him out of the hallway.
He kept saying haha to his mother, put on a pair of sneakers, and walked to the door with Lin Xiaojia, only then did he let go of his hand, and finally sent it down with a tight breath.
"Why did you just come to my house!"
An Yiran lowered his voice and said, thinking that he hadn't told the exact address.
"Your information is very transparent to us, from birth. ”
Lin Xiaojia put away his well-behaved smile and returned to his usual indifferent appearance.
"I didn't respond to your call, do you know how long I've been waiting? ”
He remembered that he hadn't left his phone number, but the thought that he could even find his exact address might not be a secret.
He took out the mobile phone in his pocket, swiped to unlock the screensaver, and the red missed call prompt came into view, and there were more than forty of them.
An Yiran's face flushed, he thought to himself, no wonder he always felt that his mother had been patting the door for so long, it turned out that it was all the vibration of the mobile phone before.
He chuckled wryly, reaching out and scratching his hair, which was still partially fried.
Lin Xiaojia didn't blame him, just turned around and walked towards the elevator, turning his back to An Yiran and making a gesture to keep up.
"What's the important thing, you still came to me personally?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?" she raised her eyebrows, and thin anger surged between her eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with An Yiran's slackness.
"No, no, didn't you say you had to train, I didn't expect it to be so fast. ”
He hurriedly explained, so as not to provoke the person in front of him who was really angry.
"Do you think your life now can still be like eating and waiting to die in college?"
The sarcasm in Lin Xiaojia's words is already very strong, and slacking off in her worldview may be the same as suicide.
"We still have time to train before the next mission, and when we have determined the target location and course of action, it is too late. ”
"Okay, I'll do what you say. ”
For so many missed calls, he still felt a little guilty in his heart, of course, he knew how clear the more than forty missed calls were, and how persistent the quiet-looking little beauty in front of him was.
"She's very strict!" The words that Lao Zhang threw to him yesterday before leaving popped up in his mind, and what the future is, An Yiran's heart began to beat a drum.
Following Lin Xiaojia out of the corner of the community, the vermilion Ftype stopped at the corner of the street, and the metallic paint was particularly dazzling in the morning sun. Lin Xiaojia walked to the front of the car and tore off the red note attached to the windshield, showing a disgusted expression on her face.
"It's really invisible. As she spoke, she crumpled the red note into a ball and threw it into the trash bin at hand, and the bracelet on her left hand shook it next to the car, and after two clicks, the door unlocked.
"Get in the car. She pouted at the passenger seat, but in fact An Yiran had no choice, the coupe didn't have a back seat at all.
Before An Yiran could buckle the seat belt, the sound of the V8 engine roaring reached his ears, and he only felt that after the fabric seat pushed him hard behind him, the body was like an unsheathed sword ejected towards the road in front of him, leaving only the echoing engine sound and the white smoke rolled up by the rear wheels against the ground.
This was the first time he had experienced Lin Xiaojia's way of driving, and people outside could never imagine that the person driving this V8 beast was a female driver.
The furious sound and tire noise stimulated his eardrums, and the red beast seemed to be freed from its shackles, leaving a crimson light and shadow on the road around the city.
The surrounding scenery and vehicles are constantly regressing, Lin Xiaojia is in a state of concentrated driving, there are only sporadic vehicles on the highway before the congestion period, she controls the beast with both hands and keeps repeating the state of overtaking and acceleration, the number on the computer has been displayed to 230, An Yiran feels that the retreating scenery has gradually blurred in her eyes.
"We don't need to be so fast, right?"
He clenched the handle of the side door with one hand and did not dare to relax, the speed of the car was gradually approaching the high-speed train running at full speed, and he could only rely on his clenched right hand to make his crazy beating heart feel better.
"It takes almost an hour to drive normally, in order to save time. ”
"You have a few driver's licenses that you can deduct like this!"
"That's not my responsibility, Lao Zhang will deal with it. ”
Lin Xiaojia shrugged her shoulders, she had never been used to doing her own thing, and she didn't have much awareness of the aftermath.
An Yiran felt a trace of sympathy for Lao Zhang in his heart, and the work of cleaning up the aftermath of this girl every day must not be easy, and the image of Lao Zhang's hanging boy with pigtails instantly became much taller in his heart.
Sports cars continue to drive on the highways, and the landscape has shifted from high-rise buildings to green suburban areas, which are no longer residential areas, but are home to golf clubs and the like.
An Yiran, who had nothing to do with these things, rarely came to this corner in the south of the city, and Lin Xiaojia just drove by himself, barely saying a word except for casually responding to his questions.
Accustomed to the high speed, he cast his eyes out of the window, boredly focusing his gaze on the locust trees that swept by.
"It's here. ”
She jerked in the direction of the left, and the huge inertia almost pushed An Yiran out to the right, and his face looked extremely embarrassed because he was caught off guard and stuck to the side glass.
As the rear wheel of the car threw out a 45° angle, Lin Xiaojia kicked the accelerator again and drove the car into a two-way two-lane road, the surrounding trees began to change, and the bushes and sycamore forests on the side of the road began to show traces of artificial construction.
At the end of the road is a building about 100 meters high, which looks like a moored giant ship, and another spherical building on the east side is adjacent to it, and the two buildings are connected by a bridge in the shape of a bridge.
"Where is this?"
As an indigenous to the city for more than a decade, he never imagined that there would be buildings that gave him a complete sense of strangeness.
