Act 21 Dating (3) and Bronze City (1)
Lu Mingfei felt that he really should do something at this time, a delicate Italian meal, a little wine, Bernard Herrmann's melodious saxophone floating in the air, and candlelight sprinkled on the girl's dark red dress, wasn't it to say something important?
This is simply a stage prepared for confession, the heroine's eyes are lowered, the spotlight has hit you, the microphone has been handed to you, you don't say the words "I like you", it's a loss of conscience!
But does he really want to be with Nono? I'm a little unsure, he didn't expect anything in this life, even if the senior sister wasn't with the boss, he never thought about this aspect, in line with the idea of letting everything go naturally, just try to get along like this first.
And what about Eri? Damn it! The name of the little monster drilled out of place at an inopportune time, and Lu Mingfei's mind was messed up.
Can a person like two girls at the same time? Lu Mingfei remembered reading a newspaper that said no, if you said that you liked both at the same time, it means that you don't like either.
Lu Mingfei, I can't count how old I am, and I still have been single, but I really want to like my senior sister seriously, but that girl who is as pure as a blank sheet of paper has always left an indelible scar in his heart.
He sat back down at the table with a heavy heart, facing the few small pieces of lamb chops that were left on the plate.
Nono glanced up at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Mingfei said in his heart, Senior Sister, you are really powerful, you can guess what I'm thinking without a profile, can you not always see through my heart like this, it will make me very distressed!
"Nothing, just remembering something." Lu Mingfei gulped the lamb chops into his mouth, only in this way could he keep himself from showing any expression.
Sommelier's advice...... Still is...... Forget it, Lu Mingfei thought, he would have to talk to the sommelier later, so as not to trouble others.
Nono didn't say anything, and naturally changed the subject, "What movie are you going to watch?" ”
"I don't know......" Lu Mingfei scratched his head.
"Don't know!" Nuno ordered like a queen, and was very dissatisfied with the performance of the male pet Lu Mingfei.
"Then ...... I pick? ”
"Whatever, in fact, the most important thing is the atmosphere, it doesn't matter what movie you watch."
"How's the tragedy?"
"You're ruthless enough."
……
……
Nuo Nuo went to a private theater very proudly, only Lu Mingfei sat next to her in the huge screening hall, the blue light of the projector shot from behind, like a sharp knife cutting space, one of them held a glass of super large Coke, the staff said that it was particularly good with a tragic film, and it was very tear-jerking.
Lu Mingfei's brain is not bad enough to that extent, of course it is impossible to watch any tragic films, the movie "Raging Bull" he chose, which was recommended to him by Chen Wenwen in the literary club before, roughly tells the story of a genius boxer who constantly defeats his demons and finally gains spiritual freedom, three strong cables enclose a rebellious soul, the background is hazy flashing lights and the shouts of the audience, melodious soundtrack, slow motion, continuous punching.
"I always feel like you have a lot on your mind, junior brother." Nono said suddenly.
Lu Mingfei turned his head to look at her, but Nuno didn't look at him, just stared at the screen and gently inhaled Coke.
She's always been smart, and she must have vaguely known the answer.
Lu Mingfei was silent for a while, did not answer the topic, but stared at Nuno with the faint light of the screen, I have to say that the light and shadow effect of this theater is very good, the lighting is dim just right, with the black and white tone of the movie, reflecting the warm red flow on her lips, the makeup in the corners of her eyes flickering, clean like flowers in full bloom.
The air conditioner is a little hot, Nuo Nuo's face is a little pink, Lu Mingfei has to admit that this is still quite tempting for him, if he confesses now, will she refuse, or will she accept him? Isn't it self-inflicted again? He thought.
De Niro's La Motta and the boxing champion started fighting on the screen, Lu Mingfei fell on the back of his chair, and the memories of the past emerged, like a marquee, as if they had been in the spring.
She slowly approached the edge of the bathtub and slowly wrapped her arms around Lu Mingfei's neck, and Lu Mingfei could only hug her, whether it was a naked girl or a dangerous monster.
They hugged across the edge of the tub, like hard sculptures in the dark.
Outside the window, the Tokyo Sky Tree suddenly lit up, and the tall tower standing in the middle of the earth was lit up with pink lights, and the light gradually warmed up.
It was as if God was looking down from heaven and taking pity on the two frightened children and lighting a beam of light to illuminate their eyes.
"We are all little monsters who will one day be killed by the righteous Ultraman." She whispered in a very small voice in Lu Mingfei's ear, as if telling him the world's biggest secret.
Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling something start to seep out of his memory, he rubbed his forehead, trying to get something out of his mind.
"Look! La Motta defeated the boxing champion! Nuo Nuo suddenly grabbed Lu Mingfei's sleeve and pointed to the screen and shouted
"Huh? That black man, I don't think he's great. Lu Mingfei withdrew his rambling thoughts, in fact, he had already seen it a few times, but he still cooperated with Nuo Nuo to continue
"But he beat La Motta very badly before."
"That's because Lamota was tempted by fame and fortune and deliberately lost to him." Lu Ming showed off complacently.
"That's right." Nono chuckled softly.
Many, many years ago, at a love hotel in Japan, the lights of the Tokyo Sky Tree in the distance lit up the night like the Northern Lights.
Lu Mingfei made a promise that if someone wanted to hurt the girl, he would protect her.
It turns out that a man cannot swear easily, because the oath is like a proverb, and he still fails to fulfill his oath after all.
Now he really wants that girl to live well, and he would rather never meet him again in this life.
Lu Mingfei took a hard sip of Coke, the oversized cup felt awesome, and the strength rushed up a little, and his eyes were stuffed with something sour.
……
……
"I'm stupid!" Lu Mingfei planted his head on the bed, hugged the pillow again, and rolled over and over on the quilt a few times.
"What, junior brother, has your confession to Nuo Nuo been rejected?" Fingal poked his head out of the top bunk, "It's normal, you never know what she's thinking, but you always want to know, no one can guess her." ”
"That's not the case." Lu Mingfei covered his face with a pillow and said weakly, "Senior brother, leave me alone." ”
He reached out of his phone, pulled down the screen, and stopped at the chat interface with Nono.
"Senior sister, I'm not in the right mood tonight, I'm sorry." Lu Mingfei thought about it and sent a text message.
"It's okay, I'm kind of happy." Nuno replied quickly, "But you'll have to compensate me next time, junior brother." ”
"No problem." Lu Mingfei typed with his fingers crackling, "I'm asleep, good night." ”
"Well, I'm removing my makeup, sleep well, good night."
……
……
The other side of the world.
Yangtze River, Three Gorges.
In the middle of the night, the tugboat "Moniach" trembled in a storm in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It was a rare rainstorm in autumn, and the Yangtze River was about to enter a dry season, but this sudden rainstorm raised the water level in the upper reaches of the reservoir by four meters in two nights, and at this moment there was no shadow of any other boat on the water, only the lights of the tugboat Moniach were still flashing in the rain.
Captain Mance Rundstedt stood in front of the wheelhouse window, the wind roaring like a devil, pouring rain down on the front window and then bursting open like a hammer.
The ship was rocking, giving the illusion that the whole world was shaking, and Captain Mance stood firmly, inhaling the rich smoke of his cigar into his lungs.
Smoking too many expensive cigars was like drunkenness, but it was exactly what Captain Mance needed, and the rich cigar smoke calmed him down, and it was a critical time for a captain to give confidence to his crew with his image of smoking cigars calmly.
The sound of a baby crying could be heard faintly in the rear cabin, and Captain Mance furrowed his typical thin German eyebrows, his eyebrows as thin as knives.
"Breastfeed when it's time to breastfeed! Tease him when it's time to tease him! I've said it many times, it's our job, it's important! None of you know how to take care of your children? He turned to the preoccupied crew and shouted, "Who's going to see what's wrong with that baby?" ”
"Professor, none of the current main members of the Executive Department are married, where do you expect us to learn how to take care of babies?" A girl sitting in front of the monitor said without looking up, the light of the monitor illuminating her beautiful face.
She was in her mid-twenties, had brown hair, looked like a typical Latina beauty, wore a navy navyr's suit with a dark blue lapel, and looked like a trainee sailor.
"Call me Captain, here I am not a professor at the Kassel Academy, I am the captain of the Moniach. Hell, I remembered that my 'Magic Mechanical Design Level 1' course should have started this week, and I was still floating on the Yangtze River. ”
Mance sighed, "Okay, well, since it's just me as a married man, then I can't escape by taking care of that dear baby, Selma, pay attention to the two of them's life detection, if there is any abnormality, immediately close the line!" ”
"Understood!" The Latin girl, Selma, replied calmly and forcefully.
"Captain, we received a signal from the Three Gorges Waterway Rescue Agency that the storm will continue in the second half of the night, the wind will increase to level ten, and the rainfall will reach 200 mm, which is a rare torrential rain, which may be accompanied by thunderstorms. They are mobilizing helicopters to rescue us and advise us to abandon ship. The third pair took off the headphones and said.
"Replying to them, they said that our tugboat has a very deep draft, the hull is still stable, it can last through heavy rains, there are several patients on board, and it is not appropriate to abandon ship." Mance looked up at the dark sky outside by the hatch, and was silent for a moment, muttering to himself, "But this rainstorm is reminiscent of the ice sea in Greenland ten years ago, and every time I approach these mysterious things, I feel like a catastrophe is coming......"
He turned and entered the rear cabin, where the people were staring at their screens and keeping quiet, everything moving quickly and silently, the sound of two entangled heartbeats echoing in the electrical interference of the headphones.
On Selma's screen, in the heartbeat monitoring window, a green dot of light falling together indicates that the two young and strong hearts are still beating normally fifty meters below the surface of the water.
……
……
Ye Sheng turned on the strong flashlight, the light pillar of the xenon lamp couldn't penetrate much distance in the deep water, there was only a band of blue-gray light, and the end was blurred in the water where small creatures were floating.
The slender figure of Aki Aki floated not far from him, and he could pull her by just reaching out.
The Japanese girl, who grew up in the United States, was his classmate at the Kassel Academy, and they practiced working together for five years before they entered the executive department together, and they were able to read each other's hearts from a single glance. But they never loved each other, which was forbidden by convention.
Ye Sheng gently stepped on the bottom of the water, which was probably a mountain before it was submerged, all of which were stone surfaces, there were no water plants, and the stones were polished by the water flow, making it difficult to settle down.
Ye Sheng popped out the steel claws from his flippers, stood firmly on the rock, and reached out to grope in the mud and sand floating on the bottom. He showed Aki what he had touched, a pottery shard with an ancient pattern.
Aki swam over and took the pottery shard to examine: "At least a thousand years of history, it is something before the Shu culture was swallowed up by the Central Plains culture. ”
Ye Sheng looked around, "It's probably an ancient tomb buried in the mountain by a thousand, which was overturned when the Three Gorges was flooded, and the burial goods were scattered in all directions. ”
"By the way, I heard that Lu Mingfei, that "S" class freshman, eliminated Caesar and Chu Zihang in the "Freedom Day" on the first day of entering the school." Ye Sheng chatted as if he wanted to relieve the pressure at this time, the world in the deep water was so lonely that people doubted their existence.
"He didn't show that potential when we interviewed." Aki Aki said.
"yes, we're blind."
"There is a new oxygen supply device, but there is not much time left, will this be the location indicated on the map?" Aki looked around, and the topic returned to the content of the mission, and it was pitch black all around, and the naked eye couldn't see anything here.
"Norma, we need a diagram of the structure of the underwater." Ye Sheng invoked the sonar map on the helmet.
"Understood, I need about twenty seconds to scan." The Central Processing Unit (CPU) in the United States immediately replied, and their transatlantic conversation was directly using satellite channels.
Soon, a three-dimensional sonar map outlined by dark green contour lines appeared on the screen of Ye Sheng and Aki's helmets.
"I can't see anything by looking at the structure diagram, save time, or trouble you, please." Aki chuckled softly.
"Every time I get so tired that I feel like I'm going to collapse." Ye Sheng complained, "I need a fixed point." ”
"I'm the point you've always had." Aki swam behind him, steel claws popping out of his flippers, clasping the rock tightly, and wrapping his hands around Ye Sheng's waist from back to front, "Are you ready?" ”
This is the method they have been working together all along, Ye Sheng is as fragile as a baby when he uses that extraordinary spiritual ability, and he will even lose consciousness and fall, this is extremely dangerous underwater, he may be carried away by the current at any time, and if the cable is entangled again, it will be life-threatening.
So every time he was about to use the word "snake", Aki would hug him like this. Ye Sheng slowly clenched his fists and closed his eyes, those cunning and dangerous snakes flowed in his mind, their scales glowing with a cold and hard blue light.
"Moniach, get ready, activate the electromagnetic shielding of the equipment and instruments." Ye Sheng said.
"Moniach has received that your life condition is normal, and the frequency of brain waves is rising sharply, and you can activate the "Speech Snake", and the electromagnetic shield has been turned on." Thelma's voice came from the headphones.
Ye Sheng closed his eyes, stretched out his hand in the darkness in front of him, and slowly opened his mouth, and the voice he made had a heavy echo, like a chant and a chant, there is no one in the world who can truly understand this language, except for a certain world supreme who is still playing StarCraft, this is the dead language, Long Wen.
The snakes in the depths of the mind were liberated, and they flowed along Ye Sheng's limbs, and finally surged out and disappeared into the entire water.
