Chapter 76: A Thousand Thoughts
After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen returned to the house, only to see Zhu Xiaozhu walking out with a delicate and small suitcase.
"What are you ......" As soon as the words came out, he immediately remembered that Zhu Xiaozhu had to catch a plane back to the capital today, "I'll send you." With that, he took his suitcase and prepared to go out to call a taxi.
"Ling Chen, where are you going?" At this moment, He Ziyun walked out of the lobby.
"I'll take Xiaozhu to the airport and I'll be back later. ”
"Don't be so troublesome, it's hard to get a taxi around here, there's a car in the back warehouse, and no one drives it there, you can drive her." ”
"Have a car?" Ling Chen was overjoyed, it was best to drive by himself. At that moment, he followed He Ziyun's footsteps and came to the backyard of the martial arts hall. He never came to the backyard, where a lot of clutter was piled up, and people rarely came.
The locks on the warehouse doors seem to have not been opened in many years, and they are rusty. He Ziyun took out the key and opened the lock. The door opened, and a pungent musty smell immediately came out of it. Ling Chen covered his nose, only to see that a thick layer of dust had accumulated in the warehouse, and all kinds of sundries were placed in a messy manner.
However, his eyes were soon drawn to a car in the warehouse. The car was covered by a livery coat, but the silhouette of the livery stood out that it was by no means any of the ordinary sedans on the market.
He Ziyun walked to the front of the car by himself, reached out and grabbed the car jacket and lifted it gently. Suddenly, a sheep's head-shaped car logo appeared in Ling Chen's eyes.
Looking up along the car mark, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and his clear eyes were full of excitement.
The body made of carbon alloy, the metal paint, the front of the car is not only long but also very wide, there are only the main and passenger seats in the cabin, and the rear is streamlined, and the whole car exudes a bold and rugged personality.
Dodge, War Horse, a classic 1966 muscle car.
Ling Chen ignored the dust on the car body, and gently stroked the body with his big hand, as if caressing a precious treasure. However, it's not an exaggeration to call this muscle car a baby. Around the world, there are absolutely no more than fifty of these classic muscle cars built by the original factory, most of which are in the museum's collection. If it is placed in an auction house, it will definitely sell for millions of dollars.
"Old He, where did you get this car?"
"I bought it from abroad when I was younger, but when I got older, I didn't want to move it, so I kept it here and didn't use it. Saying that, He Ziyun threw a bunch of keys into Ling Chen's hand, "Don't break it for me, this is my only valuable belongings." ”
"Don't worry, you won't break it. ”
Ling Chen happily pulled the car door and couldn't wait to sit in the driver's seat. As a man, there are a few who are not good at driving. Plugging in the key and twisting it slightly, the body trembled slightly with a beast-like roar.
Although this car has not been driven for many years, He Ziyun usually does not forget to do maintenance, and the performance is very good. Slowly drove the car out of the warehouse, cleaned the dust from the body, and then drove to the front door of the martial arts hall.
Sitting in the car, Zhu Xiaozhu looked at Ling Chen, whose face was full of excitement, and felt a little strange in his heart. A car only, is it necessary to be so happy.
How did she know that a man's biggest hobby is a beautiful woman. The status of cars and women in men's minds is almost the same.
"Sit down. Ling Chen grinned, tapping the throttle on his toes. Suddenly, in the roar that made people's blood boil, the muscle car slammed out and quickly drove into the road.
"How long are you going to go back this time?" asked Ling Chen casually on the way.
"I don't know, maybe ...... Two weeks. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just ask. ”
"Oh. Zhu Xiaozhu replied lightly, feeling a little disappointed inexplicably.
Feeling the mood swings in her heart, she was a little overwhelmed. For more than 20 years, she has been living a plain life like water, her mood is like a calm lake, and she has never been able to affect her mood. However, I don't know why, in front of Ling Chen, it was difficult for her to maintain that mood, and every word from the other party made her think a lot.
Do you ......
I don't know what she thought, her pretty face turned slightly red, and she quickly turned her head to the car window, for fear that Ling Chen would see her changes.
In less than half an hour, Ling Chen arrived at the airport smoothly.
"Have a nice trip. ”
"Hmm. Zhu Xiaozhu responded softly and skillfully, dragged his suitcase and walked to the security check. However, her steps were very slow, as if she was hesitating about something, and as if she was waiting for something.
Looking at her departing back, Ling Chen's heart faintly brewed an impulse, and blurted out: "Xiaozhu ......"
"What's wrong?" Almost at the moment when Ling Chen spoke, Zhu Xiaozhu turned around, as if he had already prepared.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Ling Chen sneered, swallowed back the words he wanted to say from his mouth, and changed his words: "Pay attention to safety on the road, and always contact when you are free." ”
"I will, bye-bye!"
Zhu Xiaozhu smiled and waved his hand, no longer staying, and walked directly to the security check. It wasn't until her back completely disappeared from sight that Ling Chen reluctantly left the airport.
Back in the car, thinking of the mentally retarded conversation just now, he couldn't help but curse secretly.
Ling Chen, Ling Chen, you are usually so bold, why did you soften at the critical moment.
He sighed, if he met other beauties, he could talk without scruples, but if he really wanted to meet the woman he cared about, he became hesitant and didn't even dare to say a word.
Shaking his head, he started the car and slowly drove into the road.
Back in the martial arts hall, only He Ziyun and Xiaohua were at home, and Tang Yuan didn't know where to go. That guy is mysterious and secretive, and he can't even see the ghost. Ling Chen didn't bother to care about him, since he knew that Tang Yuan had come to Donghai City with a secret mission, he rarely asked about his whereabouts.
After eating at noon, Ling Chen drove alone to the most prosperous area in the city center.
The dinner that Liu Xiyao said was held the night after tomorrow, and there was still one day to go, and he didn't even have a formal dress, so he had to prepare early.
With all his belongings in his pocket, Ling Chen found a shopping mall and took the elevator to the third floor, which specializes in men's clothing. In the past, Ling Chen would not come to such a high-end place to buy clothes at all, with his character, he just bought a few pieces at the stall and wore them.
There is no way, Liu Xiyao specially reminded that it was a formal occasion, and he represented the face of the club, so he couldn't wear too shabby.
Walking all the way, Ling Chen felt as if he had come to the wrong place. It's so damn expensive, a casual suit costs thousands of dollars, and that's still the cheapest. Although Liu Xiyao said that he would be reimbursed, he had to pay in advance first.
After hesitating at the door of the store, he gritted his teeth and walked inside.
"Hey, why are you here?"
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind him.
