Chapter 41: A World of Color (12)
Who is it?
Hearing someone suddenly interject, Li Mengxi looked back in the direction from which the voice came from, and saw a familiar young man.
"You're not ......"
Halfway through the words, Li Mengxi couldn't speak. He couldn't just say, "Aren't you the chauffeur of Cato Rhein?" But without saying this, he really didn't know what to call the other party.
Seeing this, the young man smiled and said, "My name is Duff, Duff Revos. ”
"Hey, you and I have a syllable just one syllable!" exclaimed Clarke, excitedly. It seems that his alcohol strength has risen.
"yes, that's a coincidence. Duff responded kindly, not blaming Clark for his casual interjection, after all, he himself had interjected.
"Since it's so fateful, why don't we have a drink together!" Clark then proposed, of course he still cared about Li Mengxi's opinion, "Man, you don't mind." ”
"As long as Mr. Revos doesn't mind. ”
"That's what I mean, how can I mind. Also, just call me Duff. In the same way, I don't see the two of them called by their names. Saying that, Duff sat down on the other side of Li Mengxi, first ordered himself a glass of white beer, and then added a glass of each to Clark and Li Mengxi according to the drinks on the table. "Since I'm uninvited, this is a little greeting. ”
Clarke, though a little informal himself, also likes polite people, and immediately laughs happily.
"You're such a nice guy, Taoyuan Sanjie can be counted as one of you! However, it's a pity that you didn't join our team before. ”
"I'm sorry. Duff chuckled lightly and said, "I've long since decided to spend my life protecting Miss Banrashuka, so I can't use it anywhere else. ”
"Banrashika?" Clark thought the name was familiar, so he recalled it carefully, and then it dawned on him. "Oh, that's the lady who forced those crooks to fund our props! she's a nice girl, too!"
"Thank you for the compliment. Duff smiled and raised his glass to Clark.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Mengxi felt that he might have guessed the reason why Duff deliberately inserted between the two. However, he thinks it's better not to break it for the time being.
Perhaps because of Clark's presence, Duff didn't immediately get straight to the point. Therefore, Clark only thinks that he is a hero and joins in.
Although Li Mengxi drank Coke, the three of them were still very happy to drink. Clark drank heavily and got drunk quickly. The three of them also used him as the main person to talk about the world, which has the meaning of green plum cooking wine and talking about heroes.
Soon, the tall young man collapsed drunk on the bar. Strange to say, Duff drank two glasses less than him, but he was still very sober, and he really didn't show his face.
Listening to the sound of snoring, Li Mengxi turned his head to look at Duff, who was still drinking slowly.
"Now you can tell what is the matter, right?"
"You see that?"
"It's strange if you can't see it. Is it related to Miss Banrashuka? ”
"Admire! It should be said that it is precisely because of the order of the young lady that I will wait for the opportunity to approach you. With that, Duff materialized something and handed it to Li Mengxi. It's a single earring, but it can be a pair with the one that Hinata Nain gets.
"This won't be Miss Banrashuka's prize. ”
"Not bad. Miss hopes that you can pass this on to Miss Naine Hinata, whatever you say, just don't mention her. ”
"In that case, Miss Banrashuka doesn't hate Nain. ”
"It's not just that it's not annoying. Miss actually admires Miss Hinata very much, but she's just not very frank. ”
"I see, so, can I ask a few questions?"
"Speak. ”
"What did Miss Banrashuka do in the first place when she invited Nain to be her bodyguard?"
"For Miss, 'be my bodyguard' or 'be my servant' and 'please be my friend' is the same thing. ”
Hehe, this kind of unfrankness, it's really careless from the south to the north.
After complaining in his heart, Li Mengxi continued to ask: "What does it mean to provoke Nayin five times?"
"Don't children sometimes deliberately do things that are annoying to get people to get them to pay attention to? ”
"Well, it was ...... that she was standing on the roof of the car that day"
"Miss saw you and Miss Hinata together, and she was very jealous. That kind of behavior is to highlight your own excellence to ask for attention. ”
"In that case, what she said to us before we got on the boat must have been a reminder that something might happen to this ship, and it was best not to take it?"
Speaking of this, Duff himself smiled helplessly.
"That's right. Originally, the young lady had heard rumors about the ship, and she was going to try to see if she could get some good equipment for me and the three of them. She's actually a kind-hearted girl. So, here's my personal request. Could you please take care of Miss Hinata and make Miss Hinata not so annoying?"
"I promise you. However, after this incident, Naine should have already figured it out. ”
"Anyway, I'm going to say 'thank you'. Okay, it's getting late, I suggest you go back to the house and rest now. ”
"But ......" Li Mengxi also meant this, but he looked at Clark lying on the bar and was a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry. Since I'm drunk, I'll take care of him here. You can go back in peace. ”
"Then I'm sorry for you, Duff. ”
After speaking, Li Mengxi stepped off the high chair, turned around, and took steps towards the entrance.
Listening to the footsteps in the distance, Duff raised his glass again with a faint smile.
......
At noon the next day, Li Mengxi woke up in a call.
"Li Mengxi, Li Mengxi......"
He naturally opened his eyes and looked directly above where the voice came, and it was none other than Hinata Nain's face that caught his eye.
"Nain. Subconsciously calling the other party's name in a sleepy voice, Li Mengxi gradually realized the current situation. Nane Hinata was sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning out her upper body over him, supporting her hands next to his ears.
After the two looked at each other for a while, Li Mengxi exclaimed "wow", and suddenly bounced up in a panic. As a result, his forehead also happened to collide with Hinata Nain's forehead.
"Bang!" After a "bang!", the two of them each rubbed their heads and bent down.
Li Mengxi was the first to recover, and immediately asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
"Hmm. Nothing. Sorry to scare you. Straightening up again, Nane Hinata smiled apologetically.
"It's nothing. However, how did you get in?" Li Mengxi was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that once the door is closed, it cannot be opened unless the owner allows it.
Hearing this, a little resentment appeared on Hinata Nain's face.
"Speaking of this, you are so careless! Just now, I came to wake you up, and with a gentle knock, the door opened. ”
I see, I didn't close the door properly, and it seems that I was really tired yesterday.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Mengxi said, "I'm sorry." ”
"Really. Hinata said helplessly, "This kind of thing, even if you apologize to me, it's useless." The important thing is that you pay more attention to yourself. ”
"Hmm. I promise there will be no next time. Saying that, Li Mengxi raised his hand and rubbed his temples to wake up his mind, "By the way, what time is it?"
"Eleven thirty-five o'clock. ”
"It's noon, so the Argo has arrived?"
"I didn't have long since I got up. However, it looks like it should have arrived. Since just now, people have been walking to the first floor one after another. ”
"Then let's go, too. As he spoke, Li Mengxi lifted the quilt and sat up, only to realize that he hadn't even changed his clothes, and he fell asleep in a combat uniform last night.
"You're really!" Hinata Naon's face turned gloomy, but then she was relieved. "Don't you need to change your clothes, don't you even need to wash?"
"Ahh
"Here. Hinata walked over to the round table in the room, where a washbasin, a folded towel, and a bar of soap were already placed. "I've got it ready for you. ”
"Thank you. With that, Li Mengxi walked to the basin and leaned over to pick up the warm water. At the same time, Naine Hinata also sat down on a stool next to her.
"I was so tired yesterday that I forgot to tell you something. ”
"What?" Li Mengxi asked casually while washing his face.
"As you said, something did happen to the ship. But I'm glad I was able to catch it. ”
"Hmm!" With water droplets on his face, Li Mengxi turned his head and smiled at Hinata Nain. Seeing this, the latter immediately handed him the towel.
"That's right!" While wiping his face, Li Mengxi continued, "I have something to give you." ”
"What is it?" asked Hinata with some interest.
"This. While speaking, Li Mengxi put down the towel and materialized the earrings that Dafu gave him yesterday from the warehouse and handed them to Hinata Nain.
After taking the earrings and looking at them, Hinata Naine immediately knew what it was, and she showed a sad face.
"This won't be your reward, will it?"
"Not really. Mine is this. As he spoke, Li Mengxi lifted the side of his coat and showed off the cyan crow's feet jade pendant tied to his belt.
"And where did these earrings come from?"
Faced with this question, Li Mengxi was silent for a moment, and then made up his mind.
"Originally, the other party told me to never say it. Still, I think it's better to tell you. This is a gift that the people of Cato Rhein Banrashukato asked me to pass on to you. ”
"Kato Rhein!" Hinata was surprised, but quickly smiled with some understanding. Immediately, she accepted the earrings and immediately equipped them.
Seeing this scene, Li Mengxi spoke: "Sure enough, you noticed something." ”
"At least knowing that guy doesn't want to disgust me for everything, he will show kindness. ”
Not only that, people probably like you so much that they can't stop liking you. Li Mengxi said in his heart, but he still decided not to say it for the time being.
Thinking about the relationship between Naine Hinata and Cato Rhine, he thought of Sinapus again.
Maybe that guy just wants to be friends with himself and isn't good at expressing himself......
After recalling the rampant smiling face that made him very unpleasant, Li Mengxi shook his head fiercely.
"No! that guy definitely isn't!"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. By the way, let's hurry up and get off the boat, just in time to get a bite to eat on the shore. ”
"Hmm. I was a little hungry too. ”
The conversation was closed, and the two walked out of the room and walked up the stairs.
"By the way, you just called me 'Nain'. Naine Hinata squirmed a little shyly.
"Ahh Sorry, it was more convenient to call it this during the battle yesterday, so I forgot to change my words. ”
"No need to apologize. I'm not such a stingy person. And since it's already called, let's keep it called. However, it's a little unfair that you're the only one who calls it that. ”
"That'...... What do you mean?"
"From now on, I will also call you 'Mengxi' directly, is that okay?"
"Yes, of course, we are partners, we are partners!" Li Mengxi exclaimed in surprise. Seriously, he thought that Nain Hinata was going to ask him to have a lavish dinner again, which was really reasonable and simple compared to that.
Luckily, Nane Hinata didn't know what was going on in his heart at this time. The girl just felt happy in her heart for the change of such a name.
"I'll treat you to lunch. ”
"Really!"
"Well, even if it's a reward for you this time!"
"Yay!"
"I was invited to dinner by a girl and I actually showed this look. You're so stingy. ”
"So, it's determined by my financial situation! Speaking of which, did you get the 20,000 gold coins?"
"Not yet, go through the boat here to get it. ”
"Then let's go get the money first. ”
"No, I'm going to have lunch first. ”
"Oh, that's 20,000 dollars! That's an astronomical amount of money. ”
"For you, four digits is the limit!"
"I've seen a lot of five figures......"
In this way, the two frolicked all the way down the "Argo" and set foot on the port town "Willina" in the Dagumasun district in the southeast corner of the mainland. And this is the beginning of a new journey.
