Chapter 219: The Transcendent
It was dinner time, and the traffic in downtown Seoul gradually became more and more turbulent, and it took half an hour for the RV to stop and stop on the congested road before finally arriving at the ivory apartment complex where Zhang Longchu and Ahn Min'er lived.
After getting out of the car, the cool autumn breeze blew, feeling that he had successfully restored contact with An Min'er, and immediately rushed to get closer to Zhang Longchu, who was inevitably too traced, under the pretext of going to buy a magazine in the book city across the road to spend the evening, saying goodbye to An Yaxun's father and daughter, and disappeared into the night.
In the next few days, he still spends most of his time in the world of strange things, but he calculates that every morning at about 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock in the evening, when An Min'er is about to go to and from work, he hides behind the door and by the window to observe the movement, and once he sees An Min'er's figure appear, he deliberately pretends to run or eat in the morning, creating a coincidence of encounters.
A week passed in a blink of an eye, just as Zhang Longchu felt that the two were used to this kind of meeting, he hesitated whether he could pretend to rise up at will and invite An Min'er to have dinner together, but he didn't expect that in the evening of the same day, An Min'er, who went home with a big paper bag in her arms, first made a refreshing invitation, "Zhang's, I cook beef hot pot today, do you want to eat together?" ”
"Ah, of course it's good," Zhang Longchu was stunned for a moment, quickly nodded and agreed, and also grabbed the paper bag from An Min'er's arms, "I'll help you get the things." ”
"If you have beef to eat, you men are really realistic." In the blink of an eye, An Min'er, whose hands became empty, smiled and joked, and walked briskly to the second floor with Zhang Longchu and opened the door.
The apartment she lives in is exactly the same as Zhang Longchu's room, which is a one-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom layout, in which the bathroom has two doors open to enter from the living room and bedroom at the same time, and the space is quite reasonable, but the area of less than 80 square meters is quite spacious.
However, unlike Zhang Longchu's empty residence, the four walls of An Min'er's living room are inlaid with layers of shelves, and hundreds of unformed puppets are densely placed on the wooden shelves.
Even Zhang Longchu, who has always been bold, couldn't help but feel a correction in his heart after entering the door, and he unconsciously shivered.
Seeing that he noticed the strange furnishings in his home, An Min'er took the initiative to explain: "I told you, I used to make dolls for a living, these are all semi-finished products that were broken when practicing skills, and I can't sell them and I am reluctant to lose them, so I keep them at home, and I have saved so much unconsciously." ”
"Yes." An intuition in the dark made Zhang Longchu, who was surrounded by dolls, slightly numb, very wrong, but at this moment, he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and nod, and began to help An Min'er busy with dinner.
Although he fled to Southeast Asia and survived the initial difficult period, Zhang Longchu can be said to have become prosperous and miraculously become the leader of a state and a country, but the ability to make a living independently at a young age in the poor community of the United States is still there.
"Wow, Zhang, seeing that you live in a nice community, you have nothing to do all day, and I thought you were a loser from an idle rich family, but I didn't expect to cook quite decently." Seeing this scene, An Min'er said with some surprise.
Zhang Longchu pursed his lips, while busy moving the cut ingredients to the coffee table used as a dining table in front of the sofa in the living room;
While replying dissatisfiedly: "What about me, Miss An Min'er, you are my neighbor, didn't you live in a good community before, and you had nothing to do all day, why don't you think you are an idle loser?" ”
"I'm not the same as you, this house is the only thing my mother left..."Hearing this, An Min'er blurted out, but suddenly shut up in the middle of speaking, and was silent for a while before saying: "What are you talking about, it's all over, I'm hungry, let's go eat." ”
After hearing An Min'er finally mention her mother, who had an unusually close relationship with the Hanyang Group, but ended the topic in a hurry, Zhang Longchu felt a little regretful, but he could only pretend not to care and nodded: "Okay." ”
In the eyes of Koreans, hot pot is a type of Chinese cuisine, and it is very simple to eat, but it is easy to eat by boiling various foods in a pot, but as long as the soup used is good enough, it tastes very good, and it is very suitable for cooking at home.
Hard-boiled yams, potatoes, chicken wings... Entering the pot and turning on the fire of the electric stove to the maximum, Zhang Longchu and An Min'er sat on the ground on the cloth cushion and waited for a while, and then a pungent fragrance wafted out of the pot.
At this time, looking at Zhang Longchu through the ethereal steam, An Min'er suddenly asked softly: "Zhang, do you secretly like me?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Longchu, who thought that there was something wrong with his ear, was stunned for a moment, and was stunned, "Bum..."
"Don't pretend to be stupid, I ask you if you secretly like me," An Min'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, and repeated in a half-truthful tone: "Otherwise, why did you stay with me for 3 or 4 days when my mother died two months ago, and you kept comforting me."
After I went home this time, I could see you every day, every morning, and in the evening, and there was no such coincidence in the world. ”
Zhang Longchu grew up in a relatively open social environment in the United States, and he has already had two girlfriends, so it stands to reason that even if An Min'er asks directly and suddenly, he will not be unable to answer.
But there is a saying in Huaxia that the heart of a thief is weak, Zhang Longchu's purpose of befriending An Min'er is not simple, and once a person has an attempt, it is inevitable to think a lot about the future, so he opened his mouth in embarrassment, he turned his face and was silent for a while before he said vaguely: "That, well, in fact, what you said is really just a coincidence, but whatever you think." ”
"Wow, my God, it's not an idol drama, pretending to be innocent, there are really otaku like you in the world, and I don't even dare to say that I like women," An Min'er pouted as if you didn't admit it and knew that I guessed correctly: "Then do you like me and really like me, or because I suddenly became a director of Hann-Ocean Group?" ”
Hearing this, the reason why she tried her best to communicate with An Min'er was really because she had a close relationship with the owner of Han Yang, and Zhang Longchu, who planned to use her to obtain the mysterious necklace, stiffened, and his face suddenly became unnatural.
After all, deceiving a cheerful and kind young girl for the sake of his own selfish desires is completely different from deceiving an aggressive and powerful person like Paul in order to save his life, the latter does not make people feel guilty at all, while the former can really be called a despicable act, but it is not a scum with bad morals, and it will inevitably produce some psychological burden.
But although Zhang Longchu's face changed because of being exposed, An Min'er had a misunderstanding, and waved her hand apologetically: "Hey, what I said just now is canceled, canceled."
You didn't know anything when you invited me to eat and accompanied me to visit my dying mother, how could it be that I approached me because of my change of identity, because my head was dizzy and cranky.
I'm sorry, because I've watched too many Japanese dramas since I was a child, and I'm used to fantasizing that I'm the heroine of the TV series with a bumpy fate, hey, although my fate is indeed twists and turns..."
"Okay, don't talk about it, the hot pot is ready, let's eat it." In the fragrant misty steam, Zhang Longchu suddenly interrupted An Min'er's words, lifted the pot, and said softly.
"Wow, that's so fragrant, let's get started." Hearing this, An Min'er smiled and nodded, then opened the ice rice wine on the table and poured two glasses, and after clinking glasses with Zhang Longchu and drinking them all, he feasted on it.
In the blink of an eye, the hungry two swept away the food in the pot, An Min'er sandwiched the last chicken wing into Zhang Longchu's bowl, and suddenly changed her name naturally, and asked: "Longchu, I see that you go out early and return late all day but you don't look like a business or civil servant, what do you do?" ”
"Plane explorer," Zhang Longchu was stunned for a moment and then said the answer that he had already prepared, "Although it is dangerous, it is the most manly and high-paying profession now, but recently I have lost my job due to the relationship between the Red Cloud invaders, and I am preparing to recuperate..."
"You, are you really a plane explorer, just an otaku like you still go on an expedition to the different planes, you fantasize about it when you play cosplay (role-play)." An Min'er interrupted Zhang Longchu's words in surprise.
Hearing this, Zhang Longchu thought about it, didn't say anything, stood up directly, jumped forward and jumped more than half a meter, and his scalp rubbed the ceiling and traveled a distance of nearly 3 meters in mid-air.
When he was about to hit the wall, his whole body shrank into a ball, and when he hit the wall, he bounced back to his place as if his whole body was made of rubber, stretched out on the ground, and sat down again.
"Do you know the transcendent, transcendent," and then looked at the stunned An Min'er, Zhang Longchu spread his hands and said: "It refers to those who have mastered supernatural powers, and I am one of them."
It's not cosplay, it's your true self. But I didn't expect An Min'er to be stunned for a while and said softly with a strange expression: "It turns out that you are also extraordinary..."
"Well, what do you mean, do you know other transcendent beings besides me..."Suddenly it was Zhang Longchu's turn to say with a stunned expression, and then he smiled with relief: "Ah yes, you are now a senior manager of a large company, and you have a much wider network than ordinary people, and you may also know some people who have supernatural powers." ”
Unexpectedly, hearing this, An Min'er was silent for a while but whispered a more unexpected answer, "I am also an extraordinary being, and I just awakened my power 2 days ago. (To be continued.) )
