Chapter 3: Walking the Memorized Words
In the next few days, although Zhu Feilu restrained himself repeatedly, he still maintained at least one communication with An Yuanxiu every day.
Sometimes it's a professional matter, sometimes it's a metaphysical question, although An Yuanxiu gave a quick reply every time, and he didn't feel a little impatient in either voice or text, but Zhu Feilu was still faintly worried about whether he was too clingy.
"Compared with your usual times, you are now a considerate and considerate good wife and mother in WeChat, okay?"
Deng Linyuan watched Zhu Feilu fidgeting every day, and complained mercilessly.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhu Feilu has always been a polite and polite person, but relatives and friends who are familiar with him understand that Zhu Feilu is actually an out-and-out sticky person.
Although relatives and friends didn't understand what Zhu Feilu was obsessed with like this, it was really interesting to see that he was still sticking to himself one second ago, and the next second when an outsider came, he immediately pretended to be cold, and everyone cooperated with Zhu Feilu to play the "cold game" and have fun by the way.
At this time in the bedroom, Zhu Feilu was listless because An Yuanxiu's reply was slow for two consecutive days, and he didn't even have the energy to refute Deng Linyuan's complaints about him.
Deng Lin saw that the other party didn't even answer the complaint, and he felt bored, so he told the other party not to forget to go to class and left first.
Zhu Feilu lay on the table and waved weakly to Deng Linyuan, who closed the door and left, and then continued to stare at the mobile phone that sent a message thirty minutes ago but has not received a reply until now.
Just when he was thinking "can I get a reply within an hour today", WeChat suddenly rang an invitation for a voice call, and after seeing that the initiator was An Yuanxiu, Zhu Feilu hurriedly got up from the table and sat upright, holding his mobile phone tightly and staring at the screen, and after swallowing two deep breaths and taking three deep breaths, he finally clicked to answer.
"Hey...... Feed? Ann seniors......"
"Poof, why are you so flustered?" The other party's laughing voice came from the other end of the microphone, and there seemed to be a small hook in the voice, and Zhu Feilu, who was hooked, felt itchy ears.
"I didn't ...... No, I was about to go to class, and I ran out of the classroom to pick up the ......" Zhu Feilu, who unconsciously lied, was afraid that the other party would ask, so he hurriedly asked the other party what was the matter with the voice call.
"Are you in school now? I just returned to Beicheng from the field, and a few days ago I went to deal with a task and was busy and the reply was relatively slow, seeing that you have problems every day, did you encounter any difficulties? An Yuanxiu followed Zhu Feilu's question, and asked about the other party's recent situation in a tone that was no longer so funny.
"Well, there's nothing difficult, but I usually ask what questions I remember, and I didn't delay Senior An's errands, right?"
"Not really...... So since there's nothing wrong with that, I'll go back? I just came to Beicheng University today to check the aftermath of the last formation, and I originally planned to meet and have a good chat with you by the way. An Yuanxiu sat in the car and leaned against the window and looked in the direction of Zhu Feilu's bedroom, and his right hand casually played with the key to tease Zhu Feilu.
The opposite side was quiet for a few seconds, and then An Yuanxiu heard the sound of "jingle bell" from the earpiece, followed by the sound of "clang-" closing the door.
Zhu Fei ran downstairs quickly and excitedly replied to An Yuanxiu: "Senior An, are you at school?" Then I'll come right over! I have a problem! He couldn't help but amplify his voice so that everyone passing by looked at him curiously.
Running to the gate, he noticed the eyes of the people around him, Zhu Feilu hurriedly stopped and pretended to be serious, and continued to say in a stable tone as he walked: "Senior An, where are you, I'll go over to look for you." ”
Deng Linyuan, who had just walked to the door of the dormitory slowly, heard a familiar voice from behind, turned his head and saw Zhu Feilu walking past him with the phone, he hurriedly called and asked Zhu Feilu where he was going, but Zhu Feilu, who was immersed in the call, didn't notice it at all at this time.
An Yuanxiu just listened to the voice over there, and he had already imagined in his mind what Zhu Feilu would look like when he ran down, and he couldn't help but laugh again.
touched his nose and couldn't help but tease, "I've always been in your heart", and as soon as he raised his eyes, he just met Zhu Feilu, who was standing at the door of the dormitory with his mobile phone.
Unexpectedly, the other party had already arrived at the door, An Yuanxiu felt a little embarrassed when he said this teasing, but seeing that the other party was standing there stunned because of this sentence, An Yuanxiu couldn't help but laugh out loud directly.
Zhu Feilu was still stunned, but An Yuanxiu's smile was too wanton, coming from the earpiece and the two directions in front of him, which made Zhu Feilu blush, and hurriedly hung up the call and ran to the car parked at the door of the dormitory.
An Yuanxiu whistled at Zhu Feilu through the lowered co-pilot window.
"Get on the bus~"
As soon as Zhu Feilu got in the car, An Yuanxiu started the car and drove off campus, leaving only Deng Linyuan, who was chased out of the dormitory, to witness the whole process behind.
"Good ...... Xiao Lu provoked someone this time......" After teasing, he couldn't help but be a little worried like an old mother, and hurriedly wished Fei Lu to be careful with each other.
Here, after Zhu Feilu got in the car, he couldn't pay attention to other things in the outside world at all, and he glanced at An Yuanxiu for a while and stared back and forth between staring blankly ahead.
An Yuanxiu could feel the nervousness of Zhu Feilu beside him while driving the car, and he didn't debunk the lie that the other party had just said on the phone, he casually found a sentence to break the awkward silence.
"Will there be any classes later?"
"Yes...... There's still half an hour to go, but I can take time off! Afraid that An Yuanxiu would leave immediately, Zhu Feilu hurriedly opened his mouth to explain.
"It's okay, I don't have anything to do but come to see you...... The situation here. ”
Thinking that it would be so embarrassing to casually tease the other party just now, An Yuanxiu hurriedly made up for it after habitually teasing.
"Oh......" Originally, before An Yuanxiu finished speaking, he wished Fei Lu a little happy, but when he heard the words made up by the other party, he immediately became depressed, and his emotions were a little inexplicable.
An Yuanxiu was very confused about Zhu Feilu's mood changes, and he didn't know why the other party was so clingy after only knowing him for a few days, but fortunately, Zhu Feilu's clingy was very measured, but it was not annoying.
After An Yuanxiu drove the car out of the school, he found an unobstructed roadside and stopped. He cleared his throat and changed the subject to the matter that he had been investigating the other day.
"Recently, the metaphysical world has been a little unpeaceful, and several old customers have memorized the words, and I went to the field with the metaphysical society to investigate the situation a few days ago."
As soon as he heard that the other party began to talk about business, Zhu Feilu finally stopped being entangled in inexplicable emotions, and even he had heard about this matter, so he hurriedly asked: "I have also heard about this matter, have you found out what is going on?" ”
"The current progress of the investigation cannot prove that this incident is related to Xuanli, but ...... Ordinary people always have a grudge against regular people, whether it is a conclusion reached by the family or not, they are not willing to believe it easily. ”
An Yuanxiu mentioned the relationship between ordinary people and regular people, and his tone was a little helpless: "But the survival principle of the Metaphysical Society is like this, and we can't refuse their request...... Therefore, no matter how many times they ask for an investigation, the Metaphysical Society will have to send someone to check it. ”
Listening to An Yuanxiu's words, Zhu Feilu was also a little silent. At present, because the Metaphysical Society is not known to ordinary people, its daily source of income is only to serve some of the wealthy and powerful classes who participate in the management and support of the Metaphysical Society.
In order to maintain the inheritance, each family had to join the WTO to make some plans among the people. But since ancient times, they have been immersed in metaphysics, and they are not proficient in how to make a living in the world of ordinary people.
There are also people who choose to give up metaphysics and concentrate on making a living in the people, but these people are still a minority after all, especially the children of the family who cannot give up the power and status they have been accustomed to since childhood, and are unwilling to "lower their worth" into the WTO. Moreover, because they are born with metaphysical power, even if they break away from the metaphysical world, they will be supervised everywhere in the development of the people, so most regular people have no choice but to rely on these rich and powerful.
In the 69 years since the establishment of the Metaphysical Society, these ordinary people have formed a very complicated relationship with the Orthodox people, although the rich and powerful people are afraid of the power of the metaphysical world, but because of the dependence of the orthodox people on their survival, more often they really don't have much respect for the people in the metaphysical world.
An Yuanxiu rubbed the corners of his forehead with a headache when he thought of these things: "Two days ago, I went to support the investigation of a few familiar regular people in the field, and the local customers I should have been responsible for have also needed to check the situation in the past few days. ”
"Senior An, can you take me with you? Tomorrow we're the weekend! Zhu Feilu looked at An Yuanxiu's tired appearance, thinking that he wanted to help share his worries even at all, and when he thought of the recent situation, Zhu Feilu also had the idea of "learning more about the things of the metaphysical world".
An Yuanxiu turned his head to Zhu Feilu's expectant gaze, and unconsciously smiled again: "Okay, tomorrow I just want to go to your Zhu family's old patron Mr. Wang, with a beautiful young man by his side, and he is also energetic at work." ”
Trying to ignore An Yuanxiu's ridicule, Zhu Feilu opened the car door with a red face and didn't dare to look back and said to the door: "Then it's decided, ...... tomorrow"
"I'll pick you up tomorrow." "Hmm!" After getting the other party's confirmation, Zhu Feilu nodded vigorously and got out of the car: "Then I'll go back to class first, Senior An, go back and rest quickly." ”
"Okay." An Yuanxiu saw that the other party was standing by the car waiting for him to leave, smiled and waved his hand and drove away. Until he turned the corner and walked out of the block, he could still see Zhu Feilu standing in place and looking at him.
An Yuanxiu went to pick up Zhu Feilu from outside the school gate early the next morning as agreed, and after the two met, they went to the neighborhood to have breakfast by the way, and immediately drove to Wang's house.
Along the way, Zhu Feilu was a little nervous to inquire about the situation of the Wang family this time, for fear that he would cause trouble to the other party.
"The situation of the Wang family is that in the past month, the contract has been cut off, the loss of buying financial management, and the theft, robbery, and deception, although these are all accidents that no one can say when they will happen, but the Wang family feels that it will not be a coincidence that these things continue to happen."
Zhu Feilu listened to An Yuanxiu's explanation of the situation, and also had some thoughts: "It is really difficult to think that such a high frequency is a coincidence......
"But if someone is doing ghosts, then the other party's approach is too obvious, and even I know that the least thing to do is to make the other party not suspicious, right? Isn't such a high frequency telling the other party that someone is messing with him? ”
An Yuanxiu hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, but there was no smile in his words: "Yes, the truth is this truth, but the Wang family's opinion is that they are unwilling to take this risk to believe that it is just a coincidence." In short, what the other party means is that after taking the money, the Xuan Society always has to do things. ”
Hearing An Yuanxiu's last sentence, Zhu Feilu couldn't find the words to refute, and the two of them were a little irritable and depressed because of the attitude expressed by the Wang family.
There was nothing to say all the way for the rest of the way, and the traffic conditions in Beicheng on the weekend morning were not bad, and the two soon arrived at a villa in the suburbs of the Wang family.
An Yuanxiu parked the car in the Wang family's garage, and the Wang family's housekeeper immediately stepped forward to greet the two of them and walked to the courtyard of the villa.
The housekeeper said to the two of them as he walked that someone from the metaphysical world had arrived earlier, and before he could finish expressing that Mr. Wang was very satisfied with the importance of so many people sent by the Metaphysical Society, he saw An Yuanxiu stop at the gate of the villa.
He stood still and stared at the familiar back of a group of people in the courtyard for a while, and before the housekeeper could ask what was wrong, he heard An Yuanxiu shout over there.
"Xiao Yaya."
Zhu Feilu heard An Yuanxiu calling someone so affectionately, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the crowd over there, trying to judge who was "Xiao Yaya" from the reaction of the crowd.
Seeing the crowd looking at each other, Zhu Feilu couldn't help muttering, "Which lady's eldest lady is so intimate", and before he noticed the unusual emotions in his complaint, a clear male voice came from the crowd.
"Don't call me Xiao Yaya!"
As soon as the words fell, the people in the courtyard were silent for a moment, and then a tall boy in a dark gray suit vest came out of the crowd and stood beside An Yuanxiu, obviously dressed in a straight and formal outfit, but his short fluffy hair dyed brown chestnut, and the clear face that always looked like he was smiling, made him not look dull at all.
He put his right hand in his pocket, put his left hand into a fist against his lips, and coughed lightly, introducing An Yuanxiu to everyone in the courtyard.
"Ahem, sorry for the gaffe...... Let me introduce you, this is ...... The senior regular person of the Metaphysical Society - Yuan Xiu. Knowing that An Yuanxiu was unwilling to reveal his identity, the boy called "Xiao Yaya" hid An Yuanxiu's surname and introduced it to everyone.
An Yuanxiu nodded to everyone along with his words, and said, "I am good friends with this Qi family's eldest young master, Qi Yaang, and I came together at the invitation of the Qi family this time. ”
Qi Yaang heard that the other party had just finished establishing his authority by borrowing his name, and immediately sold the Qi family a face, and shook his head a little helplessly.
He turned his head and planned to continue to introduce the person behind An Yuanxiu, but he looked at the other party's face but found that he didn't know him.
"This is ......" Qi Yaang looked at Zhu Feilu and asked An Yuanxiu in an uncertain whisper, An Yuanxiu did not reply to him, but just told everyone that it was his assistant, and then stepped forward to greet Mr. Wang and the others.
Seeing An Yuanxiu talking to the Wang family to understand the situation, Zhu Feilu wanted to follow up and learn how to deal with these things, but was stopped by Qi Yaang.
"Shh......h Just leave it to Yuan Xiu over there. Qi Yaang smiled and blinked his left eye, and pulled Zhu Feilu to the side where no one was there to ask where he came from.
"Little handsome guy, whose child are you? Look at Yuan Xiu to protect you like this...... Your origins shouldn't be simple, right? Qi Yaang asked him with a wicked smile across his arms.
"Yuan Xiu...... Ann seniors are defending me? ”
