Chapter 23: A Glimmer of Life
Even on weekends, Xiang Long didn't sleep lazy, and still got up to exercise when it was dark.
He started by jogging along Jing Street, the main thoroughfare of Chinatown, which is full of red lanterns, and although it looks festive during the day, the streets are now deserted, which makes it feel a little eerie. When Xiang Long ran to the gate archway and returned, he saw someone in front of the wishing fountain from a distance, eleven big red lanterns were hung on the top of the pool, and there was a red and green searchlight in the left and right corners, and the person was dressed in black under the lantern like a ghost shadow.
At the end of Jinling Road is the wishing pool, in fact, this wishing pond is called "Wishing well", which means wishing well, but it is a small pool made of red bricks. There are always a lot of people around here during the day, and there are people making wishes after dark, but now it's a weird time. Looking up at the starry sky that had not yet been obscured by the faint light of the sky, Xiang Long really couldn't imagine that anyone would appear here at this time except himself.
Xiang Long didn't stop, still running forward slowly at a constant speed, and as he got closer and closer to the Trevi Fountain, he saw the man's silhouette more and more clearly. When he looked at it from a distance, Xiang Long estimated that the person could be at least 1.7 meters tall, but he didn't expect to find that she was in her early 1.6 meters when he got closer, and it was obvious that she had a pair of long legs that showed her height.
The black pencil pants tightly wrapped around her legs, and a pair of high-heeled black martin boots made her legs even more straight and slender. She was wearing a black sweatshirt on her upper body, mysteriously wearing a hood of the sweatshirt, holding a large handful of coins in her left hand, and she looked like she was fighting to the end.
She was holding a coin in her right hand and was aiming, and she didn't look back when she heard Xiang Long running over, but continued to focus on aiming, which actually implied the essentials of "intentional aiming, unintentional stimulation" of firearm shooting. Aiming at her, she suddenly let go of her hand, and the coin flew out with a "whoosh", and then heard a series of sounds: pop...... Syllable...... Syllable...... Ton!
Looking at the ripples of the coins in the pool, she stood there in a daze, as if she had been immobilized.
"Don't aim." Xiang Long stopped when he passed by her, and while wiping his sweat with the towel around his neck, he gave her advice with a very enthusiastic look: "The more you aim, the more you miss!" ”
She turned her head and showed a snow-white and pink little round face, with a little baby fat. With her shiny fawn eyes, small and delicate little nose and mouth, she looks like a porcelain doll, but it is a little out of place compared to her plump breasts and fat buttocks.
"Really?" She looked at Xiang Long with wide sparkling fawn eyes, and it seemed that there were stars living in her eyes:
"How should I vote for that?"
Xiang Long Junzi walked over frankly and glanced at the wishing fountain. There are eleven wishes for people to choose from in the wishing pool, which are placed on the rockery made of limestone, which are longevity, good luck, health, winning the lottery, money, love, property, vacation, intelligence, happiness, etc., and one or two small metal bowls are placed under each wish for people to throw money.
The Trevi Fountain had just been cleared overnight, and the small metal bowls were cleaner than Xiang Long's face, except for a few small coins scattered outside. Xiang Long smiled and asked, "Which wish do you want to vote for?" ”
Girl in Black: "Good luck." ”
"I have to explain this," Xiang Long said patiently: "You see that these wishes are very detailed, if you want a salary increase, you can invest money, and if you want a windfall, you can vote for the lottery." Good luck means that if you don't die in a great disaster, you will be blessed, so I suggest you think about which one you want to vote for......"
"Good luck!" The girl in black was determined, and it seemed that she had become more resolute after explaining it to the dragon.
Relying on his physical age of eighteen, Xiang Long asked like a curious baby, "Are you in trouble?" ”
The girl in black glanced deeply at the dragon and said, "It's not me, it's the man I like."
"He had a car accident, and now his life and death are uncertain, I hope he can be in a big disaster and not die."
Xiang Long suddenly realized: "If that's the case, I have a way for you to definitely hit!" ”
The girl in black looked at him suspiciously: "Really? ”
Xiang Long Jian raised his eyebrows, and his hands were like two guns, pointing at the large handful of coins in her left hand.
The girl in black's eyes lit up, and immediately smashed all the coins in both hands and smashed them at "Good Luck".
"Boom la la ......"
Dozens of coins flew towards "Good Luck" like a rain of flowers, and although most of them landed elsewhere, one coin still landed in the small bowl in front of "Good Luck".
Did he really ...... after throwing so many coins and only winning one? The little face of the girl in black was overshadowed, but at this time, she heard the tall and handsome morning exercise young man beside her say: "In the Book of Changes, it is said that the avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people are one of them. First, it is a glimmer of life. Congratulations, little sister, the man you like should have turned evil into good fortune. ”
The starlight in the beautiful eyes of the girl in black twinkled, she pursed her red lips, and bowed forty-five degrees to the dragon:
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!" Xiang Long smiled and waved his hand, and continued to run forward energetically.
The girl in black waved at him as well, and then still stood there staring fixedly at the "Good Luck" in the Wishing Fountain, staring at the only coin in the small metal bowl in front of the "Good Luck".
Is there a silver lining......
With a hook of the corners of her mouth, the girl in black turned around and walked towards the gate archway of Chinatown, her steps as light as a cat.
When the girl in black stood under the archway of the gate of Chinatown, a Mercedes-Benz S600 slowly drove on the side of the street.
After the car stopped, a big man in a black suit came out of the co-pilot, rushed to open the rear door for the girl in black, and thoughtfully blocked the door frame with his hand to prevent her from hitting her head.
The girl in black threw her petite body into the wide boss's seat package, stretched her legs forward, but found that she could not rest her head on the soft and comfortable aviation headrest.
With a pout, the girl in black nested lazily in the boss's seat like a cat.
The sparkling fawn's eyes looked through the car window at the brightly lit Chinatown, and his eyes gradually blurred......
At the same time, in the dim light, Xiang Longzheng hid in the light and shadow, looking at her from afar:
I'm the one to say thank you, Bao'er......
