Chapter 19: Obscurity
"Ladies wear cloth shoes and suits, so it's easy to wear." The professor casually locked the car and said.
"Who knew you were going out?" She asked rhetorically, it was originally the clothes at the bottom of the box that I wanted to wear with a sense of ceremony, and he was the protagonist who asked for more to meet him, in fact, Lanchester is not a bad person, but there are more faults, and he owes.
You can still see the cordon on the bridge in the distance, the broken bridge railing has not been repaired, and there are no people coming to this kind of park on a winter night, so the professor really scattered, and the lady walked one step behind with her hands in her pockets, not knowing what he was going to talk about.
"It's not cheap, is it?" The professor asked.
"There's still some money." The lady replied indifferently.
"Adams's salary is not much higher than your previous one, and the lady doesn't have a family business like us, why do you always feel that you are not short of money to spend?" The professor asked with a smile.
"It's not that there is no shortage of money, it's just that there is nowhere to spend, and if you spend less, you will have more money. I don't need to find a house to live in, I don't need to pay for water, electricity and gas, I don't spend my money on groceries, and I don't have any hobbies, where can I spend it. The lady said that the professor was the complete opposite of her, he wouldn't buy things indiscriminately, but he bought more things than she did.
"That's why women don't know about perfume." The professor said with a smile, mentioning the topic of money is always easy to lead to all kinds of conversations, but the lady doesn't spend much but can't talk, and looking at the lady looking at the sea in a daze, he remembered that in the lady's not so solid family, there is probably a sum of money that she would rather not want.
Her brother's pension.
The professor changed the subject and asked, "What are the lady's plans for the future?" β
"What else?" She stopped to look at the lights on the other side of the island and said, "Live, maintain the status quo, maybe encounter a few things once in a while, and then make you tremble with anger." β
The professor smiled, but did not answer, only listened to the lady's ethereal tone:
"But you and I don't belong here, and one day I'll have to make another choice, at least not yet."
"This status quo is only temporary." Lady said.
The professor then stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's always good to see through some things. β
"If the wound is suppurated, always cut off the rotten flesh and cut through the mess with a knife." The lady said, shaking her head and turning to follow.
"Actually, women can also be supple and considerate." The professor looked up at the sky, and it was snowing. "It's just that you're always like this."
"Isn't that the easiest way to get along, given the fact that it doesn't last long?" Wang Shi smiled and shook his head, too many fetters and efforts would be meaningless when they were about to separate.
There was a man standing under the bridge, and when the snow was too heavy to go in and hide, the lady went on to step forward, and the professor stopped, and reached out to stop her, blocking her behind.
"Yo! O my dear friend! The man wore a knitted hat that covered his forehead, and the scarf around his neck covered half of his face, and the king's face immediately turned ugly, and the scab on her neck had not even fallen off much.
The wind and snow were falling, and the professor reached behind her, put the hat of his coat on her head, and said, "I propose to go back, what does the lady think?" β
"Rare." There was a slight tremor in the king's voice, which sounded as if it had been blown away by the wind, "I agree with you. β
"But don't you come? AndielοΌ He's waving.
"I have one more suggestion." The professor waved her hand and pulled her back, "Once he notices something, the farther away from him, the less he knows, the better." β
"I believe it." The professor blocked the sea breeze on the left, and the king was somewhat relieved to have him, maybe he knew the madman, maybe the king was vaguely aware of his identity, but there was no doubt that it would be dangerous to continue to learn more about Lanchester.
She had noticed this a long time ago, and because of this, after confirming his innocence, the king immediately did not have any investigation and close contact with him, otherwise the later professor would not be so easy to speak.
Back to the car, Wang saw a black Buick parked in the distance, and saw that the rear lights of the car were on, and before they could do so, the car exploded.
The professor bent over the lady, the explosion deafening, but the distance didn't threaten them.
The phone in the professor's pocket vibrated for a moment, and he took it out and looked at it: "Surprise! Andiel, let's think of this as a reunion salute. β
"For God's sake." Wang rarely was really angry, but now he is really angry, "I really want to make a wish to the Buddha to kill him within three days." She said this in Chinese.
"He's warning me something in obscurity." The professor pacified the king.
"You call this obscurity?" Wang asked incredulously, "Apparently you and I have opposite understandings of this word. β
But after she calmed down, she finally thought of something unusual, the other party was not threatening to warn the professor, but telling the professor something, she had seen this Buick, and if she thought about it, she seemed to have seen it more than once, it was not staring at anyone, he was staring at the owner of this Gust.
And they went out on the impromptu basis, and the madman could not have known the prophet, he might have been following the professor, or he might have been following the car, judging by the bomb, maybe the latter.
It's more complicated, if you look at the professor alone as one side, and the madman as one side, who is the car and the owner?
There are thousands of ways to tell the professor, but he chose the most destructive one.
The lady straightened up, as if she could feel the heat, and the professor unlocked the car door and said, "Come in, ma'am." β
The lady sat in very well-behaved, looking out the window and didn't know what they were thinking, they drove away from the scene, the lady had a lot of doubts and conjectures, but there was no desire to uncover the mystery, there was a distance between Adams and Ji, but in fact there was a gap between the lady and the professor, and the professor was the most mysterious person.
The professor saw the lady's expression and knew that she was concerned about something again, and it was often not the danger itself that would make the lady care about it but the deeper meaning behind it, and the lady was undoubtedly suspicious of something, but fortunately she didn't seem to ask more.
"Sometimes, women are really smart, and they know when to be silent." The professor closed the door, and the lady returned the coat to him, without replying. She kept her opinion to herself, and it was clear that she had better be a little more complicated when it came to Lanchester.
"But I still hope you don't even think about it." The professor sighed and said to him.
"Do you want to restrain my right to think?" Wang Xizhi smiled and asked. "It seems that since not so long ago, you have been very fond of restraining me."
Including that one mandatory condition.
"But can you deny the fact that I'm doing it for your own good?" The professor asked.
Wang Xizhi was silent, and then raised his eyes to look at his eyes, ladies rarely looked directly into his eyes for more than three seconds, most of the time they would look away, this time they stared at him for four or five seconds, and they still looked away.
"So I'm going to say thank you, so I'm going to get out of your car."
The lady went upstairs, but she was alone but not confused. The professor looked at her back and didn't move for a while.
Although she is a person who often gives people headaches, the professor also cannot deny that her shortcomings are not hidden, her softness is far greater than her sharpness, as long as you are her friend, she will do her best to protect you behind her, protect you with softness, and aim at all threats facing you with sharpness.
