CHAPTER 50: ONE CITY
Along the way, Nangong Mingzhi asked Yu Ai a few times, "Have you arrived?" And Yu Ai's answer was always ambiguous, "It's soon." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" And the more you go to the back, the more vague it becomes, and the eyes are not looking at the road, but at the sky.
Although Yu Ai's presence barely caused the bicycle tire to collapse, Nangong Ming was still sweating profusely, and he felt like he had completely visited every corner of the city.
"I see!" Yu Ai suddenly slapped Nangong Ming's back, and Nangong Ming braked sharply and stopped. Yu Ai pointed to a billboard on a roof in the distance, "I know that billboard, just turn left below there." ”
"You got it? Mean, you didn't know it before? Nangong Ming couldn't accept that he was just wandering around before.
"Hurry up." Yu Ai slapped Nangong Ming on the back heavily, so loud that the surrounding passers-by invariably cast their attention, from envy and jealousy to evil laughter and excitement, there were all kinds of eyes.
Nangong Ming wailed silently and rode towards the billboard. He only wished it was a real oasis now, not that it was a mirage when he got there and told him it was a mirage.
Unexpectedly, there was a steep uphill road under the billboard, and Yu Ai didn't seem to have the slightest intention of getting out of the car, pretending to be deaf and dumb and sitting in the back seat. Nangong Ming had no choice but to push up.
He stood up, leaned forward, gripped the handlebars with both hands, clenched his teeth tightly, and pressed the pedals down with all the strength of his body.
Yu Ai sat leisurely in the back seat, clapping and shouting cheers, occasionally greeting the wild cats that passed by. Her feet swayed even harder, almost knocking Nangong Ming and the bicycle down.
[All evil Yu Ai, little witch, lost all conscience......] Nangong Ming's eyes were firmly fixed on the top of the slope, and he approached it little by little.
"Ahh
Nangong Ming shouted, startling Yu Ai. The bike struggled to move the last meter and finally reached the top of the slope.
"Come up!" Nangong Ming saw a straight and flat road, and the end of the road seemed to lead all the way to the sunset. The sun shone on his sweaty face, and the breeze blew, which was very comfortable.
"This is it." Yu Ai suddenly jumped off the bike, Nangong Ming was caught off guard and didn't hold the handlebars steady, his legs were completely weak, and he suddenly followed the bicycle into the grass on the side of the road.
"What are you doing?" Yu Ai asked dissatisfied.
"I'll give it back to you as it is!"
Nangong Ming patted the leaves on his body and helped the bicycle to stand up again. On the grass there is a European-style wooden row with five large characters written in gild:
Coffee Street.
There is also an italicized English translation of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing below.
Western-style shops are crowded on the left side of the road, and on the right side of the road is a dense and vigorous forest. The shop's signboard sparkles in the golden sunlight. As far as the eye can see, there is a small courtyard in front of each store and between the road, and there are several tables and chairs corresponding to the style of the store.
It seemed to be early in the morning, there was not a single car in sight on the side street, and the only thing in and out of the shop was the uniformed waiters who were getting ready.
Nangong Ming didn't expect that there was such a place on the hillside, and suddenly there was a feeling that Chihiro had accidentally broken into the hidden world.
[Looks pretty normal.] Nangong Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, he was worried that the place of work introduced by Yu Ai would be a gathering place for the underworld, but now it seems that this worry is unnecessary, everything here belongs to this world.
The small street was quiet, and Yu Ai was strolling under the sunset, dragging a long shadow behind her.
"Hello, Little Red Riding Hood!"
A blonde, blue-eyed foreign waiter who was preparing dishes in the courtyard greeted this side in a stiff Mandarin, and Nangong Ming thought for a moment before he realized that he was greeting Yu Ai. In other words, this title is quite suitable for Yu Ai, in fact, I haven't seen Yu Ai wear a coat of other colors other than red.
Yu Ai also stretched out her arms, swaggering to greet the foreign waiter, and then laughed, as if the two of them often did this.
Nangong Ming followed Yu Ai with her bicycle, watching her greet the waiters or customers in each store unscrupulously, and wondering which one was where Yu Ai worked.
As I walked to the end of the street, an intersection appeared not far ahead, and on the other side of the intersection was an office building that was gradually rising again. Yu Ai still has no intention of turning around and entering the store.
Could it be that Yu Ai is working in an office building? Nangong Ming was drumming in his heart, and he didn't seem to have any other skills to use except cleaning up garbage and toilets in the office building. Could it be that Yu Ai is actually the cleaner of the office building? In this way, it makes sense why Yu Ai always works the night shift.
Just when Nangong was worried about his future future, he looked up and saw that Yu Ai had disappeared in front of him.
Nangong Ming looked around in horror, but he didn't see Yu Ai's figure.
"What are you doing there?" Yu Ai's voice suddenly appeared from above, Nangong Ming raised his head, Yu Ai's head was exposed outside the vine fence and looked down at Nangong Ming. "Come up."
Nangong Namina bypassed the fence, and a building made of black smooth walls and a glass curtain wall appeared at the junction of the intersection.
On the door is the name of the store in white and black bordering: OneCity. Next to the name of the store is a circular white sign, a black circle with a "C", and a "T" inside the "C". The shop is surrounded by a green vine fence, and a few tall coconut trees are planted in the direction of the yard facing the coffee street, blocking the view, no wonder Nangong Ming didn't see it when he just came over. However, from the intersection position, the building almost stands out from the crowd, and the other buildings next to it are overshadowed.
In addition to the Galaxy Science and Technology Building, Nangong Ming is the first time to see such a modern building. The building has three floors, with the top floor open-air and a glass fence on the perimeter. An electronic screen next to the gate shows that the store has fine pizzas for sale.
Nangong Ming was inexplicably nervous about entering such a store.
Yu Ai walked to the glass door, the door automatically opened to both sides, and she walked in. Nangong Ming was about to follow, but found that he was holding a bicycle in his hand. At this time, Yu Ai poked her head out of the door and pointed behind her, "You enter through the back door, and the car is parked under the tree." ”
Nangong Ming was about to complain, but Yu Ai's head retracted again, and the door closed, and Nangong Ming made a grimace behind the door when she saw the door closed.
With a long sigh, Nangong Ming took the bicycle and continued to walk around the wall, and Nangong Ming realized at this time that the old bicycle of the Liberation brand was so incompatible with the surrounding environment. He felt that he was caught in Yu Ai's prank, his face was hot, and he immediately quickened his pace.
The back door is hidden on the fence, and Nangong Ming almost missed it. Nangong Ming tried to push it, and the door was locked from the inside. Through the crack in the fence, Nangong Ming saw someone leaning against the tree in the backyard and smoking with his back to the door.
"Hello, can you open the door? Yu Ai introduced me. Worried that the other party would not believe it, Nangong Ming deliberately added the last sentence.
The other party didn't move, didn't seem to hear it, Nangong Ming took a deep breath, raised the volume and said it again. This will be heard by the other party, Nangong Ming saw the other party throw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, stepped on it with his foot, and walked slowly towards the door.
There was a sound of a deadbolt pulling, and the door opened. Nangong Ming's originally planned meeting words were completely forgotten after seeing the other party, and he could only hear the heart pounding violently in his chest.
She was dressed in a chef's outfit with bangs that covered nearly half of her face, and even then, the part that was exposed could be called a country and a city. The fair skin is almost transparent, and even in the shadows it seems to glow with silver.
"What's the matter?" She asked, her eyes not looking at Nangong Ming, but at somewhere else. She didn't seem interested in anything.
"I ...... It was introduced by Yu Ai, and it is ...... here Part-time. Nangong Ming struggled to get herself out of her attraction and return to reality.
She didn't react much to that, just stood there. Nangong didn't know what to do, and she looked absent-minded. The atmosphere between the two was extremely solemn.
A figure hurried out of the room, breaking the silence.
