Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Deceased
The alternating ticking of the hour and minute hands of the old clock is endless, and at 3 a.m., the bustling city "mercifully" comes to an end for countless people who are still struggling to survive. At the same time, it's also the time when the bar closes.
Rubbing his forehead, which was a little swollen and painful after a hangover, the physique that was subtly transformed by the energy field allowed Chen Feng to wake up from the hangover in just a few hours.
Stretching his waist, his eyes quickly swept over the drinkers who had fallen down in the bar, and under the surprised gaze of the female bartender who was packing up his things and preparing to get off work, Chen Feng pushed open the door of the store, put on his coat and left.
Late at night, even in a bustling Wuhan, there are few pedestrians on the streets, except for sporadic flashing lights and wild cats churning garbage.
And yet, in the silence of the night.
The night breeze was gentle, and there was an unspeakable restlessness in Chen Feng's heart, like a spark raging faintly.
Dysphoria! Slaughter! Plunder! It was as if there was a devil whispering softly in the empty streets and alleys, and quietly, a touch of blood red gradually rendered Chen Feng's pupils.
"This wine... Is there a lot of stamina? Whispering to himself, feeling the gradual blurring of consciousness, Chen Feng shook his head again and again in confusion, trying to wake up from the negative emotions that swept over like a tide, but the restlessness became more and more intense unwillingly.
"Roar!" Unconsciously, Chen Feng's throat began to let out an unnatural low roar that was not human, and instinctively drove him to want to destroy something unscrupulous......
Crisis is imminent.
"Hey! You okay. Suddenly, a voice as crisp as a silver bell, and at the same time with a somewhat familiar breath, came from not far behind Chen Feng.
Who is it? Chen Feng's heart was shocked, and with the instant clarity brought by a call, the reason that was on the verge of collapse returned to consciousness. At the same time, cold sweat was also quietly and instantly soaking his back. Chen Feng was naturally not stupid, and that state just now was not unfamiliar to him...... Runaway, the ghost knows how close he was to the rampage just now?
If it weren't for that call just now, then with the destructive power of his outbreak, he would really be born a blockbuster news tomorrow morning!
"Hey, why don't you pay attention to people." The voice behind him continued.
"Cough" coughed lightly, with a little gratitude and a little apology, Chen Feng turned to look at the woman who called him behind him.
"Ahh However, before Chen Feng could speak, the beauty was stunned by Chen Feng's current appearance, covered her mouth and screamed, and took a few steps back.
The crimson pupils, hideous expression, and the unique atmosphere of the late night make people's psychology more sensitive than during the day, and it is no wonder that the beautiful woman is frightened.
Realizing the gaffe, Chen Feng was shocked again, and hurriedly reached out and patted his head, and the red light in his eyes faded. Take a few quick steps forward and grab the beautiful woman who almost fell. Chen Feng fixed his eyes and realized that the neatly dressed professionally dressed woman in front of him was actually a bartender in the bar.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" Chen Feng took the lead in breaking the awkward atmosphere and let go of the arm that had been holding the other party.
Until now, the beautiful bartender, who had also noticed that her posture was a little ambiguous, took a few steps back with a red face, and her eyes were still a little frightened, and she looked at Chen Feng's eyes with her spare eyes: "Ahhhh Your eyes ...... just now."
"My eyes? Any questions? Chen Feng's eyes were erratic, and he touched his cheek knowingly, his expression a little stiff.
"Ahem, nothing, nothing...... Just now...... It's just a lighting effect, and it's dazzling. Shaking her hand again and again, the beautiful bartender also felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly diverted the topic, "What, Xiao Chen, when did you come to Wuhan?" ”
"Xiao Chen...... Huh, you know me? This time it was Chen Feng's turn to be surprised, his eyes scanned again and again, and his mind quickly turned over the familiar faces in his memory...... However, a moment later, under the bartender's expectant gaze, Chen Feng spread his hands helplessly, "Sister, what do you call it?" ”
"Humph! It's really ruthless, don't you even remember when you were small? I'm Lei Zhidie! Lei Zhidie pouted angrily and said angrily, "I said why I looked at you so much at the bar just now, and I didn't see you react!" It's so infuriating! ”
"Lei Zhidie?" Chen Feng dragged his chin with one hand and thought carefully, and finally recalled in a corner of his memory a girl at the same table who held hands and said nothing in his elementary and junior high school years, but since high school, because of his studies, the two have never been in touch, and I really didn't remember meeting again after many years.
Touching his nose in embarrassment, Chen Feng forcibly explained: "It turned out to be Sister Zhidie, isn't this everyone saying that this female college has changed eighteen, I didn't understand the meaning of this sentence before, but today I suddenly saw it." I was just amazed by the charm of Sister Zhidie, so I didn't recognize it at first glance......"
"That's pretty much it, you're barely getting through." Rolling her eyes at Chen Feng's incoherent performance, Lei Zhidie's face bloomed again, and she stretched out her hand to invite, "Just when I get off work, let's go for a walk?" ”
"Okay." Chen Feng said respectfully.
"Hey, you haven't answered when you came to Wuhan?"
"It's only been half a month, it's a ...... Graduation internship? Speaking of this, Chen Feng smiled bitterly and took out a business card from his arms, the business card was an additional thing provided by the seventh section since the end of this mission, along with the bonus. Of course, for this kind of item used for camouflage on the surface, Chen Feng didn't care too much. However, at this time, handing it out can save you from needless explanations.
"Yo, and business cards?" Lei Zhidie's face showed curiosity, different from Chen Feng, who had no social experience, she took the business card with both hands, took a serious look at it and put it in her bag.
"Tsk, it's a good mix, XX Pharmaceutical is a state-owned enterprise, but your internship is a manager, to be honest, is it going through the back door." Lei Zhidie's eyes flickered, and then she quickly retracted herself, and her tone was slightly tentative.
Chen Feng touched his nose and didn't say anything. From the long absence of the year to the reunion now, Chen Feng has already realized in his heart that the two of them are now two groups of completely different worlds. Besides, my current situation of not knowing when I will get out of control is not suitable for any emotional entanglement. Regarding the friendship of childhood, and those youthfulness that I thought I could accompany forever, after experiencing the tempering of time, sometimes looking back, it is more just a good memory.
After 2 seconds of silence, Chen Feng just smiled helplessly in silence, not everything is as good as the more you know.
"Cut, stingy!" Seeing this, Lei Zhidie muttered in a puffed voice, but she was even more sure of something in her heart, and then asked as if she thought of something, "By the way, I see that you are drinking here alone at night, but what is on your mind?" By the way, do you live around here now? ”
"Uh, I haven't found a suitable place to rent yet, I am currently living in a hotel, and the company has some cooperative hotels that can be booked, do you want to come and see?" It's just that as soon as the words fell, Chen Feng immediately slapped himself, this kind of subconscious polite words between friends, used at this kind of time, this kind of scene will inevitably make people think a little.
Obviously, Lei Zhidie in front of her blushed directly.
Coughing twice again to relieve the embarrassment, Chen Feng changed the topic and said: "By the way, if you continue to chat, it will be dawn, where do you live now, I will send you." ”
"Okay." Lei Zhidie happily agreed.
The night was hazy, looking at the active girl who was bouncing behind her hands in front of her and exuding a youthful atmosphere, Chen Feng's face flashed a long-lost smile.
