Chapter Ninety-Nine: Summer Rain's Offer
No.231
Chen Li and I couldn't talk about being persuaded by Xia Yu, but in the end, neither of us was able to refute it.
Before you know it, it's getting dark.
Today, the business of the hostel is sluggish, and Chen Li has the leisure to chat with us here. She lit a slender and slender lady's cigarette with great skill, and then leaned back in the chair, her legs in a V-shape, and her left hand hanging down naturally. I looked around and there was a trash can at hand.
Chen Li caught my gaze and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm not used to ashtrays. ”
Xia Yu stared at her intently, I had never seen anyone drooling in front of a cigarette.
"Sister wants to try?" Chen Liyan will take the cigarette case to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu was eager to try, and just wanted to reach out to pick it up, but he didn't want to be cut off by me: "The phoenix body is precious, let me test the poison for you first." ”
Xia Yu and I should have been very clumsy in lighting each other's cigarettes, otherwise Chen Li would not have laughed next to him, and he said to us, "Let's ask the two of you to talk about your feelings." ”
I saw Xia Yu smack lightly, and then immediately exhaled, she looked up and said to Chen Li, "I don't feel anything." ”
Don't feel anything? I wanted to get something to feel, so I took two deep breaths, only to feel a cloud of gas coming out of thin air circling back and forth in my mouth, and the result was, of course, choking on snot and tears: "Damn, it's apple-flavored!" ”
Chen Li laughed amusedly: "No way, tasting the apple breath on the black knight in the smoke is like being there, outsiders must not understand, but I myself have a soft spot for comparison." ”
Before Xia Yu and I could interject, Chen Li's expression became lost again, and tears filled the corners of her eyes: "Of course, I miss my parents a lot." ”
Chen Li's emotions fluctuated, and I suddenly realized that she was not as strong as I imagined, and the woman who never forgot the indescribable and inexplicable apple smell more than ten years ago should be very soft-hearted.
Chen Li showed us the scars on his right wrist, which were crisscrossed with some deep bones: "As a person who relies on memories for warmth, I used to feel that I was living a very sad life. I could have had an ordinary and good life, but all of it was wiped out in the fire of the year I was twelve. Sometimes I feel sad that I have an inexplicable sense of identity with the arsonist, and the family should be neat and tidy, and it is too lonely to live alone in the world. Sometimes he was full of pride, and vowed to die with the arsonist. Over the years, I have stumbled all the way, and in the end I suddenly found that as long as I live, it is the best tribute to my parents. Only then can we bravely face life and face life squarely. The arsonist who destroyed my family has not yet been brought to justice, so how can I give up so easily? ”
I was speechless by what she said, and it was only four words to regain my confidence, but it was not easy to do.
Xia Yu cut off the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash: "The little girl doesn't have a plan, is the boss willing to give it a try?" ”
No.232
Xia Yu's trick is really bad.
When I stood side by side with Chen Li in a crappy suit at the door of the hostel, I cursed countless MMP sentences in my heart.
Xia Yu said yesterday: "The boss's missing person notice has been released for many days, if the arsonist really has the heart to 'code' Chen Li back, what to do, he must have already made up his mind in his heart." He could choose not to show up, perhaps lurking in a corner, waiting for the perfect moment. This time may be a good weather for arson, or it may also be hoping that the black knight who destroyed his artwork will show up and 'yard' him back with the proprietress together. My trick is like a catalyst, which can speed up the whole process, whether it's a mule or a horse, let's go out in advance. ”
I had a big opinion: "And then assign me to pretend to be the black knight?" Do you have any points in your heart, I'm only eighteen this year! Twelve years ago, I was a bear child who had just avoided milk. ”
"You're still breastfeeding at six?" Chen Li was particularly beaten like that, "Little brother, you have a lot of taste." ”
I cried or laughed: "This is an exaggerated rhetorical device, boss, it's useless for you to overinterpret it!" ”
Xia Yu is serious: "Wear a mask, who knows how old you are?" Even if you can't provoke the arsonist, what if you provoke the black knight. He originally wanted to do good deeds without leaving a name, hiding his merits and fame, but he couldn't stand someone impersonating, and he didn't necessarily take the initiative to come out, don't you say? ”
I suddenly remembered that Xia Yu once told me that when she was a child, she liked to play a game called 'fried chicken', which was to chase the chicken with a cannon in her hand, and build her happiness on the pain of the chicken. She and the chicken could have been safe, but she took the initiative to provoke others, how similar to the current situation.
"Your trick is completely rushing to set yourself on fire, have you considered safety?"
Xia Yu glanced at me, and she looked confident: "From tonight onwards, we will quietly dismiss all passengers and hang up a sign that is closed, but the lights cannot be turned off at night, and the sound of the TV is turned on to the maximum to create the illusion that there are people inside." We then hung cameras around the hostel, but for security reasons, we had to put the video surveillance end on the opposite side of the express hotel, where we could stay for a few nights. And then all we have to do is wait and see what happens. ”
It sounds like the whole layout is ok, but ...... I have to argue for myself: "You put me in public, don't I want to lose face?" ”
Xia Yu responded with a smile: "Let's not do it." ”
And so it was.
These two women are more worry-free than the other, Chen Li took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire, and invited the gong and drum team to support the scene overnight, and the firecrackers were bought with 10,000 sounds, which really made me feel the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers. There is also a couplet on both sides of the hostel gate. Shanglianshu: The thunder is silent, and the king is in danger. The next joint book: The rain falls with love, and the love is strong over the years. Horizontal batch: take chestnuts from the fire.
What a mess!
There are three layers in the crowd of onlookers eating melons, and there is Chen Li in front of him generously introducing the story of her and the black knight, and behind him there is Xia Yu busy distributing happy candy. As the main character, I stand alone in the smoke of firecrackers and think about life. Didn't you say yesterday that you could just play with it? Why is it like a wedding scene today?
Damn, I'm bitter in my heart!
In the smoke, I inadvertently saw Xue Yang also mixed in the crowd, he always wore a black mask, his eyes were cold, he was forced to check out as soon as he came back this morning, and he should be in a very unhappy mood now.
In this way, in the evening, the play finally came to an end. I ran into the hostel in three steps and two steps. On the way, Xia Yu came over and asked me, "Are you happy to celebrate today?" ”
I smiled wryly: "I'm afraid that when I really get married, it will be dwarfed by this time." ”
Xia Yu giggled: "Then why don't you hurry up and thank me?" ”
"Thank you," I hated it, "I thank you for the eight generations of ancestors!" ”
