Chapter 22: Human Footprints
A few people in a special high-end restaurant in the city for safety, I grew up this is the first time to enter such a high-end place, looking at a large table of delicious delicacies, I don't know where to start.
Because the matter is more urgent, there are not too many polite greetings at the dinner table, mainly chatting about what to do next.
As a layman, I consciously kept my mouth shut and just listened to what they said.
It roughly means that tomorrow night, the five of us will be divided into three groups, and An Ran and I will be divided into one group and go to the place where the life continuation point is.
What I didn't expect was that Brother Neku actually offered to let Tang Ning and Long Chuan go to another place by himself.
This surprised me a little, Brother Neku has always been a vinegar jar in this regard, but why did he suddenly become so "generous" today?
Because there are still many things to do tomorrow, so this meal was not delayed for too long, and An Ran said to me with some apologies that he still has some things to do today, so he can only talk to me tomorrow.
I was very happy when I heard this, I didn't expect Enron to take care of my emotions so much.
A few of us split up, and I followed Nekugo around the city all day, buying some pickaxes and camping supplies inside the ropes.
Nekugo said that the place he was going to tomorrow night was an ancient tomb, so he had to bring these things, while Enron and I didn't need to, because the place we were going to was a village.
When I returned to the dormitory in the evening, I asked Brother Neku: "When you were grouped today, why did you take the initiative to let Tang Ning and Long Chuan team up so much?" ”
This question has been bothering me all day and I haven't had a chance to ask it until now.
Speaking of this, Brother Neku's face was obviously very bad, he lit a cigarette, and sighed vigorously, "You think I want to!" ”
"Then you still ......" The more I listened, the more confused I became.
Brother Neku let out a long puff of smoke and complained: "Although I like Tang Ning and hate Long Chuan being with her the most, there are some things that need to be clarified. I have a bit of an opinion about Long Chuan, a rival in love, but I have to admit that his strength is indeed a little higher than mine. ”
"I definitely can't let Tang Ning have his own group, the rest can only be me and Long Chuan, in comparison, Tang Ning and Long Chuan's group can get more proper protection, I like Tang Ning, but I want her to be safe."
After hearing this, my opinion of Brother Neku directly took a 180-degree turn, I didn't expect this guy to usually look quite neurotic, but in the face of the big right and wrong, he was very clear.
And I can also confirm that Brother Neku's feelings for Tang Ning must be heartfelt, and he really likes Tang Ning, not just possessive.
To like is to hope that the other party will have a good life, and consider everything for the other party, without asking for anything in return.
Possessiveness is selfish, and no matter what you do, the ultimate goal is just to get the other person, and the two are fundamentally different.
Therefore, when you want to express love to someone, you must first distinguish whether you are possessive or like, and if you make these two points clear, you will have a lot less pain.
"Do you like Enron?" Brother Neku leaned against the head of the bed and suddenly asked me.
"This ......"
I was a little caught off guard by the question, "I never thought about it, the gap between me and her is too big, and it is destined to be impossible......"
", where are you talking so much nonsense, I just asked if you like her, don't think I'm blind, look at the way you look at her, I know what your kid is thinking."
While talking, Brother Neku threw me a cigarette, "Don't think about a lot of things, like is like, it has little to do with status, and you don't have to get it, what she thinks is her business, tell her whether or not to tell her is your business!" ”
"But...... "I'm a little dizzy by Brother Neku."
"Nothing!"
Brother Neku looked a little excited, and glanced at me with disgust, "Why don't you tell each other if you like someone?" What if you never get a chance? If I were you, tell the other party boldly, don't ask about the result, just inform them, don't wait until you don't have a chance in the future, and then regret your cowardice! ”
After finishing speaking, he ignored me, but angrily found two bottles of Xiaolang wine from under the bed, "Although you kid is a little stupid, but he is a good person, let's drink one." ”
I don't know why, I always feel that something is not quite right with Brother Neku tonight, and he said a lot of things to me, and we talked until the middle of the night before going to sleep.
The next day, we went our separate ways, and when we went out, Brother Neku also specially told me, "Remember what I just said, tell Enron what you like boldly, and don't leave yourself with regrets!" ”
I feel quite puzzled, thinking to myself, why is Brother Neku so concerned about this?
An Ran changed her dress today, a pair of straight jeans and a tight-fitting embroidered T-shirt, which looked neat and full of youth, but it showed a different beauty from the fashionable girl yesterday.
And this kind of Enron makes me feel a lot closer, and she was completely upper-class yesterday, which makes me feel ashamed.
She drove a Porsche Cayenne and smiled at me, "What do you want to eat?" I'm in for a treat. ”
"Huh?"
I was a little abrupt by this question, "It's okay to deal with two people casually, aren't we still in a hurry?" ”
"There's no hurry."
An Ran smiled softly, "There is still a while before it gets dark, so let's fill my stomach first." ”
Then the two of us came to the private room of a high-end hotel, An Ran shot very generously, ordered a large table of delicious delicacies, and asked for a bottle of red wine, seeing that I was a little restrained, I smiled and said that there is no need to be so nervous, the old classmates have not seen each other for a long time, and they should have a good chat.
An Ran has a unique charm, when he was studying, he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, drinking and jumping, he could control the cheongsam, and he could also play in nightclubs, neither cold nor would people feel particularly close to her.
At first, I was a little restrained, but under Enron's guidance, I slowly relaxed and opened up the conversation.
We talked a lot about school, and I had the courage to ask Enron what his impression of me was at that time.
"I feel like you're very good-looking, but you're just a little timid." An Ran said casually.
"Cowardly?"
I don't agree with this, when I was in school, although I wasn't a celebrity, I wasn't a coward, and I had never been bullied, so I was definitely not a coward.
"Or else?"
An Ran raised his head and looked at me and smiled, "At that time, you didn't even dare to look at me, you avoided me when you saw me, and honestly, did you like me at that time?" ”
My face turned red and I felt like my ears were hot.
"Haha, don't be so nervous, I can't eat you again."
As he spoke, An Ran suddenly said something that made me feel suffocated instantly, "If you had been a little bolder at that time, maybe you would have had a chance, and I actually paid attention to you secretly at that time." ”
I was so excited that I didn't know what to say, happiness came too suddenly, I never expected that Enron would mean that to me!
This day was simply the happiest day of my life, after dinner, An Ran asked me to accompany her to go shopping in the mall, I walked next to her, carrying a large bag of things, but I felt very happy.
Because Enron was holding my other hand at the same time, we were like lovers, and we watched a movie together, until it was getting dark, and then we drove out of the city.
"Zhanhao, do you have anything to say to me?" An Ran drove the car and suddenly asked.
I was flustered beside me, remembering what Brother Neku said last night, and Enron didn't seem to reject me so much today, so I simply bolded: "I like you, no matter what you think, but I just want to tell you." ”
After saying this, my heart was pounding, and after so many years, I was finally able to say this sentence to Enron in person.
But I didn't expect An Ran to suddenly turn his head to look at me, and said with a serious face, "Okay, thank you for liking, if fate comes, maybe we can have a chance to be together." ”
To be honest, I couldn't describe how I felt at the time, how can I put it? It's like being happier than being the richest man in the world, everything in this world seems to have nothing to do with me at that moment, as long as there is Enron in this life, it is enough.
And from that moment, my feelings for Enron completely exploded like a flood, and I secretly vowed in my heart that I must work hard and marry Enron home in this life.
Love is like this, I'm not afraid that there is no hope, I'm afraid that the other party will leave you with a glimmer of hope, and the feeling of instant explosion makes even me feel unreasonable.
In short, from that moment on, I have fallen incorrigibly in love with Enron, and I talked a lot on the way, most of which reassured her that I would work hard to give her happiness or something.
"Alright, don't talk about that!"
An Ran suddenly scolded impatiently, seeing that I was a little confused, then I realized that I was a little out of shape, and his tone softened a little, "Let's do a good job tonight first." ”
After driving out of the city for more than two hours, the car finally stopped at the foot of a mountain, and An Ran said that the place we were going to was on the top.
There was only one path that looked like it had not been walked for many years, and it was full of thorns, so we had to abandon the car and walk up the mountain, and after more than an hour of detouring, we arrived at the entrance of a village.
At this time, it was completely dark, and the village seemed extremely quiet, and there was no light on, and there was a strange feeling in the darkness, and it felt cold and cold when standing at the entrance of the village.
There is a stone tablet standing at the entrance of the village, on which are written the three words "Baihuai Village", because the age is somewhat old, many places are blurred, at first glance, it is easy to recognize as "Baigui Village".
"Strange, how can there be human footprints here?"
An Ran's eyes suddenly fell on the side of the stone tablet, I turned my head to look, and sure enough, I saw a set of messy footprints, which looked quite fresh, and the direction should be to enter the village.
I'll just say it's a village, isn't it normal to have human footprints?
An Ran frowned, "The people of this village died decades ago, where did the living people come from?" ”
