Section 572 Passers-by
It didn't take long for Chen Xing to take Suna to a small café nearby at the invitation of Lu Dahai.
There are vines crawling on the wall, small colored lights poking out from the leaves, alternating light and dark like breathing, and kerosene lamps are lit on the semi-open-air plastic table, which is a strong rural pastoral style.
The décor is not as good as a café in a big city, but in Dragonstone, it's already the best.
This café is between the express station and the rental building, and Chen Xing would pass by after work in his previous life, but he never went in, because five copper plates for a cup of coffee was too expensive for him at that time.
"Two gentlemen, miss, please use it slowly."
The young waitress served her coffee, her eyes wandering, and from time to time she swept over Chen Xing's face and clothes, revealing admiration.
Chen Xing remembered that this girl, who was in her seventies, was a very good-looking beauty in Longshi Town, and she used to take a few more glances every time she passed by, thinking how good it would be to have such a girlfriend.
Time has changed now, and when I look at it again, I don't feel anything anymore. Perhaps, this is what people call growth.
The girl's eyes rolled, as if she was thinking about something. But in a blink of an eye, I saw Suna, who was sitting next to her sucking a hose, and became lost again, and subconsciously touched her face, as if she was comparing, which skin was whiter and better-looking.
However, there is no comparison, although there are few prettier than her in Dragonstone Town, but in front of Suna, it is like a stone meets a beautiful jade, and she is compared in an instant.
"I heard that there is going to be a war soon."
Lu Dahai drank coffee and chatted about the hottest topics at the moment. The dispute between the three princesses and the old king has been going on for a long time, and now another demon princess has emerged. People from all walks of life are rushing to the center of power, wanting a piece of the pie in the future reshuffle. One after another, the entire ambergris river was about to be boiled into a pot of porridge.
"Why, you want to go out and have a blast too?" Chen Xing asked.
"I'll forget it, it's not easy to keep this little belongings, and if you go, you will send cannon fodder." Lu Dahai laughed at himself.
Chen Xing smiled and didn't answer.
Li Xiong Xiaojun and a few of them resigned and left, saying that they were going out to fight the world. I don't think they can do it, they can't do it if they want money without money, they don't have technology if they don't have technology. Lu Dahai looked at Chen Xing, "But you are a person who can achieve things, I have seen it before." ”
"The fat man has won the prize, and I am also lucky." Chen Xing said casually. It's not that he's modest, it's crossing and being reborn, isn't it luck?
If he is not reborn, he may not be better than the land and sea in front of him. He is still a small boss, and his life is comfortable.
"Where's luck, don't you know yet? Everyone else goes to play and make trouble after work, but you go home quietly alone, reading books and learning guns, anyway, it's different from others. Lu Dahai recalled.
In this life, Chen Xing himself has not been under Lu Dahai, but his predecessor has been under the other party for a while. When he crossed over, he didn't inherit much memory of his predecessor, and everything in the past was vague, only a rough idea.
So Chen Xing didn't dare to answer casually, lest he say something wrong.
The personality of the predecessor is actually very similar to Chen Xing, and he is also a hard-working person, perhaps because of this similarity, he crossed over and took over this body after the death of the predecessor.
It's just that compared to him, the predecessor is a little simpler, especially for women. When you see a beautiful woman, you are controlled by hormones, so you will be pitted by Aliya.
Of course, when he Chen Xing was in his early twenties, he would also be pitted by women, after all, everyone was young, which is normal.
"So, when you were leaving, I didn't leave you......" Lu Dahai looked up at the light under the eaves, as if sighing, "If it was twenty years earlier, I would have wanted to go out and break through." ”
"Actually, it's pretty good now, it's safe and stable, and your child is not young, right?" Chen Xing said.
"When I'm in the seventh grade, I don't obey, and I can't learn anything in the country school." Saying that, Lu Dahai glanced at Suna opposite, "Your child is about to be born, right?" ”
If the distance is close, take a few more looks, and you can still see Suna's pregnant belly.
Chen Xing smiled and didn't speak, this kind of thing is not recognized, not recognized, recognized is scum, and not recognized is also scum, so it is best not to answer.
Lu Dahai is very good at being a person, and seeing that Chen Xing didn't answer, he naturally wouldn't continue this topic, and went back to the domestic situation.
"Oh, if there is a real war, it will be difficult for me to do this courier business." Lu Dahai sighed.
In the event of a war, people panic, online consumption will fall, the volume of mail will naturally fall, and business between different camps will be canceled.
"There will be volatility, but don't be so pessimistic." Chen Xing comforted. In the memory of his previous life, the Ambergris Civil War did not last long. After all, the tradition of the aristocracy is to compromise, and it is rare to really break the net. When the fight is almost over, they will sit down and negotiate.
Moreover, if the Red Civil War lasts for a long time, the Yellow State and the Qing Kingdom will take advantage of the situation. Although the mother and daughter were eager to pull each other's skin and bones, they finally gave up for their own interests. After that, there were still a lot of small frictions and small actions, intrigues and mutual infiltration, but there were no large-scale wars.
"You're out there, well-informed, give some advice." Lu Dahai looked at Chen Xing eagerly.
"I haven't been in contact with this industry for a long time, what advice can I give?" Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "That's it, if you don't want to do this one day, go to Orchid Town to find me, and we'll sum up what business we can do." ”
Lu Dahai can do business and be a person, so he is a good partner to work with. Chen Xing will next engage in the escape room project, transform the No. 65 underground survival house into a playground, and do business abroad, and attract suitable talents.
"Oops, that's great!" Lu Dahai's face was happy, he picked up the coffee cup with both hands, and made a gesture of drinking, "It's enough to have Lord Chen's words, I, Lu Dahai, will do it first as respect!" With that, he took a sip of the coffee.
The two talked happily, and after chatting for half an hour, Chen Xing continued to shop, so they separated.
"Brother, have you ever lived here before?" Suna asked curiously. She didn't speak just now, but she listened attentively. She had just been missing social contact for a long time, not intellectually ill. Under the guidance of Yeyang Bailiu and Mizuki Canglian, he gradually recovered to the level of junior high school students.
Maybe in a few years, it will be about the same as the ordinary girls in the fringe towns.
"yes, I've lived here for a while." Chen Xing replied.
"When you were a child?" Suna asked.
"Well, sort of......" Chen Xing nodded thoughtfully. Maybe the last life was "when he was a child" for him.
"Then, what about ......" Suna hesitated, as if it took a lot of effort to ask, "What about your parents?" ”
"This ......" Thinking of his parents on the earth, Chen Xing fell into silence, and it took a long while to come back to his senses, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know ......"
He didn't know how to answer the question. He didn't know if he could go back, if he could see the two elders, and he couldn't even be sure if they were in the same time and space, so he could only answer that he didn't know.
"Brother, you are the same as Suna, are they all alone?" Suna asked timidly.
Tong Yan was unscrupulous, and Suna's words aroused the loneliness in Chen Xing's heart, and his expression became a little depressed.
In this big world, he is just a passerby, without relatives and no reason, and even the secrets in his heart can only be hidden by himself, and he never dares to tell anyone.
Because he didn't know what other people would think of him.
Alien? Monster? Or something else.
That's why he sympathizes with Nova. They are also visitors from a foreign land, wandering.
Seeing Chen Xing's lonely appearance, Suna's mood also became very low.
"Brother, what's wrong with you......" She shook Chen Xing's arm, her eyes teary.
"yes, I'm alone." Chen Xing sighed.
"Brother, don't be sad, you still have Suna." As she spoke, Suna cried, "Suna is my brother's relative, Suna will always be with her brother, and Suna will never be separated from her brother." ”
"Brother, don't be sad, Suna is scared, woo woo woo ......"
The girl's weak cry touched a certain heartstring, Chen Xing was a little moved, hugged Suna's shoulders hard, rolled up his sleeves and wiped her tears.
"It's okay, don't cry, it won't look good if you cry again."
"Brother, don't be sad, okay?" Suna looked at Chen Xing, her green eyes like jewels in the water
"Okay, okay, I'm not sad, I'm not sad." Chen Xing coaxed.
"There's a hotel in front, I used to eat there a lot, go, take you to eat something delicious!"
After some coaxing and deception, Suna finally broke into tears and smiled, hugging Chen Xing's arm with a happy face.
