Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well all night, and Zhong Xian was groggy all the time during the next day's activities.
In the morning, a formal real estate control seminar was held.
He came with Mr. Gao and sat in the assistant seat to listen, and he couldn't help but doze off several times.
He noticed that the HQC representatives were in a more conspicuous area, and after the meeting began, Kaidi was late.
Zhong Xian sat at the back of the HQC delegation, and Zhong Xian was able to observe Kaidi frequently during the meeting. Thinking that this person was Deng Yi's brother, he felt incredible. How can they be related to the same bloodline, but they can't find anything in common.
Towards the end of the morning meeting, Zhong Xian was also at his sleepies, and he simply closed his eyes to recuperate. In a trance, I saw two peacocks flying in from the side door of the conference hall, with gorgeous silver feathers, dragging their beautiful long tails, and elegantly landed in the center of the auditorium. Zhong Xian was so surprised that he tried to open his eyes and blinked, the two peacocks were still there. The others didn't seem to see it, and the two peacocks still had crown-like feathers on their heads.
What happened next made Zhong Xian almost stupid. The taller peacock suddenly turned around and bit off the neck of the other peacock, the younger peacock did not resist, let the blood flow, and then it slowly lay down, surrounded itself with its beautiful feathers and long tail, and hid its pointed beak under its wings, and it was gradually dying, but as if it was just going to sleep. Its eyes had looked at the bell strings at that moment, and it was a desperate, sad gaze. The gaze seems to ask for help and as if to say goodbye.
The other peacock raised its crown of victory, spread its wings and took off, hovering over the top of the auditorium.
Zhong Xian stood up in his chair and took a few deep breaths, and the image finally disappeared.
He sat down hurriedly. Because the people around him looked at him strangely.
But it wasn't long before he saw the hallucinations again.
The banner above the rostrum became the roof of a building in front of Zhong Xian's eyes,
A boy wearing only a wide white vest sat on a protruding railing on the roof of the building, holding a square silver tin box in his hand. The boy's hair was tossed by the wind, covering half of his face, and he seemed to be cold and kept shedding tears. Tears fell on the tin box. Behind the boy, a man stood in the shadows.
'What are you going to do?' said the man in the shadows.
The boy didn't react, and his tears flowed even harder.
The voice in the shadows said, 'All that he has is yours.' Bury it with Michau. ’
The boy opened the tin box, and the white powder inside was blown up by the wind and scattered around, and the boy picked up a necklace from the tin box - the whole necklace had been burned black, and the skull-shaped pendant that was swaying back and forth was also black, and there was a faint diamond on it that could still glow faintly.
The bell strings were motionless. He did not resist the illusion. But his fear was still strong, because it was unlikely that such images would be his memory.
At the end of the meeting, Zhong Xian was still sitting motionless.
Mr. Gao patted him on the shoulder, "Go to the restaurant for lunch." ”
Zhong Xian muttered, "He's coming." A gut made him think that Deng Yi was here. The instinct was so strong that he had to believe it.
"Who?" Mr. Gao looked around.
Zhong Xian stood up, and everyone in the conference hall was leaving in an orderly manner. He searched in the crowd. Finding nothing, he caught up with several people from the HQC delegation and found that Kaidi was gone. A person flashed outside the gate, and Zhong Xian was startled, and when he chased him down the street, he couldn't find the person, and he looked at the crowd around him in confusion.
When he sat down at the lunch table, Zhong Xian still looked uneasy. Mr. Gao sat next to him and handed him a list of meetings. Zhong Xian took it in his hand for some reason, and looked up at Mr. Gao.
"He did come." Mr. Gao said.
Zhong Xian flipped through the list in his hand, and on the page marked with HQC real estate participants, there was indeed Deng Yi's name. This shows that Deng Yi also participated in this meeting. Zhong Xian was annoyed that he hadn't looked carefully at the conference list. What a mistake.
But what about Deng Yiren? Why didn't he take the train with Kaidi?
Is it to hide from me?
Zhong Xian shook his head casually. He didn't tell Deng Yi in advance that he was also coming to Hangzhou. It is unlikely that Deng Yi will avoid him in an unpredictable way.
Five minutes later, Zhong Xian walked through the dining room to Kaidi. Just as he was about to speak, his phone rang suddenly.
Zhong Xian hurriedly picked up his mobile phone: "Deng Yi!" ”
"Stay away from my second brother." Deng Yi said gloomily on the other side of the phone.
"I just wanted to ask him where you are."
"Come out the right door of the restaurant."
"Okay, right away. I'm out. Didn't see you. ”
"Turn right into the elevator and go up to the second floor."
Zhong Xian found Deng Yi in a single room on the second floor of the conference restaurant. The latter sits alone at a round table with a blue and white porcelain teapot in front of him.
"So you're really here." Zhong Xian ignored Deng Yi's cold gaze, he was already happy. He felt the two room cards in his pocket, and he couldn't wait to give one to Deng Yi now.
"Sit." Deng Yi said.
Zhong Xian sat down and did not forget to close the door of the private room, he did not want anyone to disturb them for a second alone.
"Why didn't you tell you that you were there, why didn't I see you until last night, didn't you listen to the meeting?" Zhong Xian sat on the chair next to Deng Yi.
"I just arrived." Deng Yi's face was expressionless. "I listened to the morning meeting outside the side door."
"Arrived this morning?" Zhong Xian suddenly thought that when he hallucinated, it should be when Deng Yi appeared.
Then he wondered if Deng Yi would be because of his ridiculous behavior last night - when Zhong Xian woke up in the morning, he regretted that he had sent Deng Yi such unbearable photos and videos on impulse last night. It's even a little scared - afraid that I'm giving my feelings so uncontrollably. is even more afraid that it will backfire, and if you don't seduce it, it will make the other party more annoying.
But he couldn't stop going crazy. God knows if Deng Yi's sudden appearance today was just for him?
Zhong Xian took out a room card without hesitation: "Have you booked a hotel room?" If you haven't already, you don't need to order it. I had an ensuite to myself, you know...... It's so big...... Come with me. Zhong Xian stuffed the room card into Deng Yi's hand.
Deng Yi threw the room card back: "The assistant booked the room early." ”
Zhong Xian stuffed the room card into Deng Yi's jacket pocket again. "You take it. You can come and visit anytime. Anyway, I'm living alone this week, and it's useless to have an extra card. You don't want to throw it away. He pressed Deng Yi's hand that was trying to reach into his pocket and said, "I have something strange to tell you." ”
Deng Yi's gloomy expression eased a little, and he looked at Zhong Xian: "Strange thing......"
"Just this morning, in the middle of the meeting, I was hallucinating."
Deng Yi stared at him silently and speechlessly.
Zhong Xian explained: "I'm not crazy. It doesn't feel like a dream, either. I saw two peacocks. Very beautiful...... No, it's extremely gorgeous, quite shocking beauty. Then, one died in front of me...... Its eyes seem to be ...... Your ......"
Deng Yi closed his eyes, he still didn't have any expression. "And then."
"Then I saw a second hallucination. I see you sitting on the roof with an urn ......"
Deng Yi slowly covered his cheek with one hand. Zhong Xian saw his eyelids tremble between his fingers.
Zhong Xian suddenly had a premonition: "Aren't you surprised that I see hallucinations?" Did you see that too?"
"I hypnotized you." Deng Yi muttered. Cover your forehead with both hands.
Zhong Xian was stunned. I didn't know how to react for a while. "Are you that good?" Then he was puzzled, "Can you show me that specific picture?" Only by hypnosis "bell strings are hard to believe.
Deng Yi took his hand off his face: "It's not the kind of hypnosis you think." What do you see...... It was the image in my head at the time. That's exactly what I imagined. ”
"I see what's in your head?" Zhong Xian exclaimed, and didn't know where to start for a while, "...... Why do you think about something like that in your head - two peacocks killing each other?"
"Don't you think that the one that survives is perfect?...... Kill the weak, lonely one. Deng Yi's eyes became crystalline, "I used to think at that minute, if you really have the same heart and mind as me, you should see that picture with me." ”
"You just imagined a picture, and I really saw it?" Zhong Xian still couldn't help but be surprised.
Deng Yi muttered: "It's not a casual imagination, it's a picture that often appears in my mind." Out of my control. It occurred to me last night that maybe I could use this method to make you feel me, otherwise how would you understand me?...... It's a try, I've used a little hypnotic method on you, just a little. You were feeling sleepy, weren't you? Maybe you thought the meeting was boring. If you really opened your heart to me as you say...... Hypnosis will be a breeze for you. ”
"Then you're now sure that I'm 100 percent open to you." Zhong Xian hurriedly pointed this out. saw Deng Yi's expression getting heavier and heavier.
Zhong Xian asked, "What about the second picture?" Why do you imagine yourself holding an urn?"
Deng Yi didn't answer immediately, he slowly covered his forehead and gloomy eyes with his hands again: "The second one, not imagination." ”
