Chapter 34: Plum Wood

The young man guided the young man behind him to follow his footsteps upstairs, but he began to look at the strange man with his head down and his hands in his pockets from time to time. The wooden staircase design of the café is very unique, and the steps on each floor seem to be deliberately calculated according to the height of different people, and the height of the feet and the length of the stairs are indescribably comfortable.

The two of them soon came to the table by the window on the second floor, and the boy noticed that in the short time he had been gone, there were still a few square tables with guests, and they were also empty. As if deliberately avoiding suspicion for the next important conversation between the two people, they all left in time.

The boy walked quickly to the place where he was originally sitting, and reached out to remove the coffee cup that had just been placed there, but noticed that the position of the coffee cup had been deliberately moved by someone. Although the position was only a few centimeters off from before, he was sensitive and noticed it immediately. However, he did not mention this change to the young man behind him, instinctively hiding his mind was his habit for a long time, and he had always been very wary of strangers.

"I'm really sorry because I'm not sure you're really coming, so I didn't have a drink for you." The boy apparently explained for the only cup of coffee on the table, though he didn't need to be cautious about this stranger at all. But there is an invisible force that governs his every move, like an invisible man standing in the corner of the restaurant, using something to control every step of his communication with the young man.

When the young man thought of this, his body trembled subconsciously, as if he remembered the boundless dark and weird dream world again. The young man seemed to be aware of the young man's inner situation struggling at this time, but he only pretended not to know, and just smiled and sat down opposite the young man with his raised right hand.

"Is it okay now? Can we get to the point? As the young man sat down, he asked in a light tone to the young man in front of him who was reaching for the menu. The young man's movements were a little overwhelmed by this question, and the menu he had just picked up was vacated and held in his hand, not knowing whether to hand it over or put it down......

"Say it anyway!" When the young man said this, he deliberately avoided the young man's gaze and looked out the window at the busy street. His reaction caused the young man to frown, and he hesitated when he pulled his hands from his pockets that were about to be placed on the dining table, but after quickly crossing them, he put them in front of his mouth, and leaned forward a little in the direction of the young man.

"Seems like you're confused about what's going on?" The young man went straight to the point, and without any disguise, he directly spoke about the turbulent state of mind of the teenager. In the quiet restaurant, although his voice was soft, it still exploded in the young man's heart like a bombshell, and the young man turned his head nervously when he heard the young man's words, his clear eyes looked at him seriously, and his right hand unconsciously pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The boy bit his lip tightly, and his breathing was a little short, as if he had a lot of questions that the young man needed to answer. On the contrary, the young man, who had always had an indifferent expression, smiled slightly, and then launched a series of questions to him.

"You want answers and all the doubts in your heart, don't worry, I will answer them for you one by one, but before that, what you need to do is to answer every question I ask seriously and honestly."

After the young man finished speaking, he suddenly took the menu that the young man had just put back on the table with his right hand, and flipped through it casually, the young man was obviously confused by his unpredictable attitude, but he just hummed lightly and nodded like pounding garlic.

"First of all, tell me your name......"

"Plum Wood!"

"Height ......"

"This, three months ago, was 171 centimeters."

"Weight?"

"About 52 kilograms."

"Hobbies?"

"That's a lot!"

"So good at something?"

"Do I really have to answer all these questions?"

"Hah! Who knows what the way is? ”

The young man named Li Zimu seemed even more confused about the young man's intentions in front of him, but he still answered his questions one by one very obediently, and only when he was overwhelmed by those questions did he muster up the courage to refute them.

The boy who said this suddenly lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong. When he heard the young man's words that were accompanied by a mocking tone, he realized that the seemingly serious young man in front of him was actually joking with himself.

The young man who saw the young man's appearance showed a rare bright smile, suddenly reached out and pressed the young man's head hard, and whispered to him: "Okay, I saw that you were too restrained just now, just a little joke, don't take it to heart." ”

This sentence sounded like an explanation, and it sounded like a hint to the next topic, and the boy felt the cold hands on the top of his head, and from time to time he gently rubbed his hair a few times. I felt an inexplicable sense of closeness to the young man in front of me, feeling that I had really met him at a certain point in time, or in a parallel time and space.

The coffee swaying in the boy's sight, the heat had long since dissipated, and the milk foam floating on the surface of the coffee was a round smiley face, as if to remind him that this conversation would be a perfect happy ending.

"You introduced yourself just now, so, this time change me, Liukai!" Liu Kai, who said his name, withdrew his right hand that had been pressing the top of the young man's head at this time, spread out his palm and made a gesture of shaking hands with him. This time, the young man handed his left hand without hesitation, held his hand tightly, and asked timidly, "Is you the one who entered my dream before?" ”

Liukai just smiled faintly, looking noncommittal. The young man, who had been hesitant all along, seemed to be suddenly inspired when he saw him like this, and he looked very sure. Holding Liukai's right hand tightly, he said in an accentuated tone.

"That's right, absolutely yes, it's you, it's you!" The young man's words sounded like a question, but in fact, he was simply asking and answering himself, Liu Kai looked at his appearance, and suddenly felt that there was a scene in front of him, as if something flashed in front of him, and the arc of the corners of his mouth deepened a little. The right hand was quickly withdrawn from the young man's left hand, and the thumb of the left hand was gently placed in front of his mouth, and the nails touched his somewhat pale lips slightly.

"It seems that you have improved a lot, and you are much more confident than the last time I saw you in a dream? I think it's time to be eligible to join our organization! ”

"Join your organization? What organization? ”

The young man obviously didn't understand Liukai's words, especially the organization he mentioned, and there was a faint uneasiness in his curiosity. And while the two were talking, they were facing away from each other in a corner far behind them. In the gap of a chair, a furry ear stood erect and turned, as if eavesdropping on their conversation......
