Chapter 56: We Are All Angel Interns
The little brother rang the doorbell of room 2806.
Su Ruixi subconsciously pinched her fingers, she couldn't guess who the person behind the door was, and this sense of unknown made her slightly uneasy.
I can't help but slander Brad Peake again, this guy is really, why is he so mysterious.
While he was thinking wildly, the door opened.
A woman's smiling face appeared behind the door, and Su Ruixi was stunned, because she knew this woman.
It was Zheng Ziqi who had met in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, how could she be here?
As soon as his mind turned, Su Ruixi immediately thought that Zheng Ziqi was also a new angel like herself, so she should have been called here by Brad Peake for the next mission.
"Zheng, Teacher Zheng, you are also here!" Su Ruixi greeted Zheng Ziqi very politely.
"Don't call me teacher, am I that old? You can call me sister, and it sounds kinder. Zheng Ziqi said as he took Su Ruixi's hand and entered the room.
The living room is very large, with a row of floor-to-ceiling glass, and the sunlight pours down on the wooden floor like a waterfall, reflecting the whole living room very brightly.
There is a grand piano on the left hand side of the living room, and on the right side, near the floor-to-ceiling glass, there is an easel, and in the middle is a sofa surrounded by a quadrangle, and on one side of the sofa there is an acoustic guitar.
"Wow, Sister Ziqi, your living room is really spacious enough!" Su Ruixi praised from the bottom of her heart.
Zheng Ziqi smiled: "This is not my living room, this is Brad Peake's living room, I am just staying temporarily." “
"Brad Peake?" Su Ruixi frowned suspiciously.
"Well, every brick, every tile here, is his."
"He's the owner of this Athena Hotel?!" Su Ruixi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Hmm." Zheng Ziqi nodded slightly.
Su Ruixi thought to herself: I can't see that this angel old man's capital is quite strong, and the next time I ask him for a salary, I can't be polite to him anymore.
"By the way, Sister Ziqi, your painting ......"
"Stolen by Xiang Xiaotian...... No, to be precise, he should have snatched it. My identity has also been revealed, and it is not appropriate to show my head now, so I will live here for the time being. ”
Zheng Ziqi said in a calm tone, and there was no frustration on her face.
"You sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of coffee."
"Oh, no need to bother."
Zheng Ziqi ignored Su Ruixi and walked towards the coffee machine by himself.
After a while, the coffee with a rich aroma was placed on the coffee table in front of Su Ruixi's sofa.
"It's a quiet place with no outside disturbances, and for me, it's a rare paradise. In the past few days, I have written several songs in a row, and I posted samples of these songs on the Internet, but I didn't expect the response to be surprisingly good. This is really in response to an old saying: If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing. ”
Zheng Ziqi leaned on the sofa, picked up the acoustic guitar, and gently played with it, the look on his face was as bright and brilliant as the sun outside the window. It can be seen that in her heart, writing a good song is more valuable than a world-famous painting.
"Sister Ziqi, your mentality is really good, if I am locked in the room for 3 days and don't go out, I will have to suffocate to death! How can you still have the heart to create? ”
"That's because you haven't found what you really like to do, and it's no wonder that you're still too young, you should be more noisy at this age, and then you can see through the scenery and your heart will be calm."
Su Ruixi listened very carefully, nodded slightly, was silent for a while, couldn't find words for a while, and suddenly remembered the easel she saw when she entered the door just now, so she asked, "Is Sister Ziqi still painting?" ”
"Oh yes, when I'm fine, I'll make a few strokes, it's the best way to relax."
"Then your paintings, can I look at them?"
"Don't dare to look at it, it's just scribbling, you can just look at it."
Zheng Ziqi got up from the sofa and led Su Ruixi through the living room and into a room on the right, which was empty and empty. Only on one side is a long table with three oil paintings the size of pillows against the wall.
"These three paintings are the last few days I painted." Zheng Ziqi said, crossed his arms, and retreated to a slightly farther distance, leaving the space for Su Ruixi to look at the painting up close.
Su Ruixi took a closer look at them one by one:
The first picture shows a small wooden boat floating on a turquoise lake, and at one end of the wooden boat sits a girl in a long white dress, who leans over and gently paddles on the water. On the other side of the wooden boat, there was a boy in a green cloth robe, and it was not difficult to tell from the white wings behind the boy that he should be an angel. The male angel was rocking the oars, his eyes gazing affectionately at the girl opposite.
"You're so good at drawing, you can have a solo exhibition at this level." Su Ruixi praised from the bottom of her heart.
"Don't you know? Actually, I am a painter who has been delayed by my singing career. As he spoke, Zheng Ziqi laughed heartily.
"This boy is an angel?" Su Ruixi pointed to the boy in the painting and turned his head to look at Zheng Ziqi.
"Yes, this painting evolved from the "Angel and the Girl" that was snatched away by Xiang Xiaotian, and the same character relationship, but with a different scene."
"Actually, there's a question that has been baffling me." Su Ruixi glanced at Zheng Ziqi with some hesitation, as if she was thinking about whether this question should be said or not.
"If you have any questions, just ask."
"Sometimes I actually wonder if I'm an angel or not, you see, all angels have wings, and I don't. But if I am not an angel, I really can't be considered a human being, because I have indeed died once. What kind of being am I? ”
If the essence of angels is to bring light to the world, then what does it matter if they have wings or not? In fact, we should be in a state between humans and angels now, and we should think of them as angel interns, or quasi-angels. ”
"Then have you ever wondered what awaits us if one day we don't pass our internship?"
Zheng Ziqi smiled and patted Su Ruixi's shoulder, and asked a question: "Do you know what human beings are inferior to animals?" ”
Su Ruixi was a little confused, not knowing why she asked herself such a question, so she had to shake her head.
"Animals never think about tomorrow, they always live in the present. That's it, and we need to learn from them. ”
Su Ruixi nodded thoughtfully, she didn't expect Zheng Ziqi to see the problem so thoroughly, she could be worthy of half a philosopher, and she couldn't help but add a little more reverence to her.
Just as he was about to take a closer look at the second painting, he suddenly heard the doorbell ringing, and Zheng Ziqi hurriedly opened the door. Su Ruixi also went out, thinking that maybe Brad Peake had arrived.
Su Ruixi guessed correctly, it was Brad Peake standing outside the door, dressed in a neat suit, and nodded to the two women with a smile.
Su Ruixi noticed that Brad Peake had shaved off his beard at some point, his hair had been cut shorter, and he looked much more energetic.
"You're still more handsome with a shaved beard." Su Ruixi joked with a smile.
Brad Peake shrugged his eyebrows with a smile: "When I meet two beauties, I naturally have to pay attention to the image." ”
"I think you're only concerned about Sister Ziqi, why never saw you shave when you saw me before."
Brad Peake gave Su Ruixi a blank look: "I used to be too busy to have that time. ”
"Also, when you came to me before, you didn't knock on the door once, you just broke in, and every time you were scared. How did you learn to ring the doorbell this time?! suddenly became so polite, and said that he didn't care about Sister Ziqi? ”
Su Ruixi raised her eyebrows and continued to ask not to be outdone.
Zheng Ziqi hugged his arms on the side, smiled but did not speak, looking at this old little bickering and feeling very interesting.
"You girl, you can't see it, it's quite bad! The few times I saw you, the reason why I didn't knock on the door was because the environment didn't allow it. This is my own territory, and I'm not afraid of being discovered, so of course I'm going to knock on the door first, don't I even know this basic etiquette?! ”
Su Ruixi stuck out her tongue: "Okay, I'm just joking, look at your seriousness!" ”
"Okay, okay, you're going to stand at the door and talk about cross talk, my legs are a little sore, let's get into the house." Zheng Ziqi smiled and pouted into the room.
After settling down on the sofa, Brad Peake lifted Erlang's legs, leaned back on the sofa, and glanced at Su Ruixi and Zheng Ziqi with a smile.
"Well, you two can still talk, right?"
Zheng Ziqi said with a smile: "If you hadn't bothered, I'm afraid we would have been able to talk until dark." ”
"When you said let me see someone, you're referring to Sister Ziqi." Su Ruixi turned her eyes to Brad Peake and thought to herself: You won't let me meet any strangers again.
Brad Peake nodded, glanced at Zheng Ziqi, and said, "She has been locked up by me recently, and I am afraid that she will be bored and panicked by herself, so I will let you come and chat with her by the way." ”
"You're really idle, I'm actually quite comfortable alone. But Rui Xi is here, and I'm quite happy. Speaking of this, Zheng Ziqi smiled and said to Su Ruixi: "Ruixi, you will come often when you are free in the future, I welcome you to come and sit." ”
"Well, I can't ask for it." Su Ruixi smiled and narrowed her eyes.
"Alright, the usual talk is over, and it's time for us to get down to business."
Brad Peake lowered Erlang's legs, sat up straight, and looked serious.
"We have been listening to the conversation in Xiang Xiaotian's office for the past few days, and we have obtained a very important piece of information."
Hearing this, Su Zheng and the others couldn't help but move forward, as if they were afraid of missing a word.
"Two days later, Xiang Xiaotian will fly to Moscow by special plane, take the "Angel and the Girl" he snatched from Ziqi, and complete the offline transaction with the Russian textile tycoon.
"If the deal goes well, Xiang Xiaotian will immediately receive a huge sum of 30 million US dollars, which is almost equivalent to 200 million yuan."
Zheng Ziqi nodded, which was the same as when she took the painting.
"The scary thing is that after Xiang Xiaotian gets the money, he will buy a batch of biological and chemical weapons in Russia."
"Chemical and biological weapons?" Su Ruixi and Zheng Ziqi couldn't help but glance at each other in horror.
"Well, it's a virus called Medusa X, which can be transmitted through the air and has an extremely high lethal rate."
"This Xiang Xiaotian is really ...... The more frustrated you are on the road to destroying humanity, the more courageous you are! Today's young people should really learn from his never-say-die spirit! Zheng Ziqi said jokingly, wanting to ease the tense atmosphere.
