Chapter 54: I Want to See the City That Never Sleeps

Until it was dark, the three of them still didn't come back, so Lu Ran had to accompany Ke Zhizi to dinner first.

But Zhizi was still weak, so Lu Ran asked for half a table of light small meals, half a table of big fish and meat.

Anyway, it's my own inn, and there is a lot of inventory left after closing early in the afternoon, and I don't eat in vain, and I have eaten vegetarian food for two days on the Pingtou Peak, and the first meal I came back to make up for it.

"Brother Ran." But Zhizi saw that Lu Ran was absent-minded, holding a duck arm in his hand, holding it in the air and stopping, and his mouth seemed to have forgotten to chew.

"Uhh......h

It was ugly, but it alleviated the embarrassment, in fact, Lu Ran was originally thinking about a very embarrassing question.

This is a question that almost all men have thought about when they meet a woman they like.

I thought about it, and secretly swore that I would never think about it again.

"Brother Ran, you say, that Xu Fang ......" Ke Zhizi originally wanted to talk to Hui Huan about something, and asked Lu Ran at this time.

Lu Ran was still a little empty in his heart and words: "Didn't he say it, you are like one of his old friends." ”

"Yes...... Is it? I don't know if it's because of the injury, but Zhizi hasn't frowned for a long time.

Frowning also requires strength.

She voiced her doubts: "I just don't think it's that simple. ”

Lu Ran held his cheeks and pretended to think, but in fact he was peeking: "However, I have a strange feeling, he said that you are like an old friend of his, let's put aside whether this sentence is true or not, he himself and you, in some places, are indeed a little indescribable." ”

"You mean, he's also a 'Jade Clan'?" But Zhizi remained silent and said the conjecture that had been entangled in his heart for a long time.

"Aha? Is that the case? I was going to say, you're not his illegitimate daughter or something. ”

What did the old Taoist priest say, Lu Ran is a simple-minded person who is harmless.

"Of course I can't be his illegitimate daughter, this Xu Fang is a true immortal who has attained enlightenment for thousands of years, and I am just a sword servant who is not yet a red immortal."

But once Zhizi opened the chatterbox, he was actually still talkative and cheerful.

"This ...... Could it be that if you have cultivated to a true immortal, you can't get married and have children anymore? I don't think so, right? "Lu Ran's perspective on things, although it is a little paradoxical, often has some other truth.

"No, no, no, I know, it's absolutely impossible." Kochiko shook her head slightly.

Thoughts suddenly returned to many years ago, the memory of childhood has always been very clear, in the big prison car, there is a gray-haired boy, although he can never be Xu Fang, but between the eyebrows and eyes of the two, there is indeed a little similarity.

But memories that are too old and too painful may no longer be real.

The boy ended up buried under the snowdrift, which is why he ran for his life desperately.

All because she is a "jade clan".

"Knowable."

But Zhizi interrupted her thoughts when she heard Lu Ran call her, she finally frowned again, and asked Lu Ran seriously: "Why don't you ask me about the 'Jade Clan'?" ”

"You didn't ask me about 'Haizi'!"

Lu Ran suddenly approached, looking at Ke Zhizi's face and her blue melancholy eyes.

Ke Zhizi smelled a faint smell that was different from Huihuan, but it smelled just as good, and there was a small lightning bolt that suddenly bloomed in her body.

Lu Ran's face was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, but Zhizi closed his eyes a little shyly.

Then, Lu Ran stretched out a finger and flicked it fiercely on Ke Zhizi's eyebrows.

"Bounce bounce, bounce bounce, you're frowning again, but you know!"

"It hurts!" But Zhizi subconsciously covered his forehead, but tears flowed down his cheeks without anger.

"Oh, don't you cry, what is the 'Jade Clan', next time you see Xu Fang, just ask clearly, I will definitely help you ask clearly!"

"Hmm!"

"By the way, Ke Zhizi, there is one thing, I really forgot to ask you."

"What?"

"Does it hurt? Wounds. ”

"It doesn't hurt." But Zhizi didn't frown this time, but he couldn't help it and cried out.

For the next few moments, Ke Zhizi really cried, and Lu Ran laughed dryly, until she also laughed with tears.

"Brother Ran, thank you."

This is the second time in one day that I have thanked Lu Ran.

"No thanks, in return, then you can listen to me pour bitter water."

Lu Ran also told Ke Zhizi about the dream that he was originally going to tell Qingwu.

In order to allow Ke Zhizi to be substituted, he also talked about his trip to the Turbid Sea two years ago.

Unexpectedly, Ke Zhizi, who has been practicing in the mountains for many years, has never seen and heard such strange explorations, like listening to a story, and heard it into a play.

"Alas, don't scold that Li Jiangliu, you have to give me an analysis, what does this mean?"

"Huh? What does that mean? A dream, a dream is a dream, can it be meaningful? ”

"No, no, no, I dream almost every day, but I also know very well that this dream is very special, what is ...... Different. ”

But Zhizi rarely saw Lu Ran's expression so serious, so he blinked: "Hmm, then you let me think about it." ”

"Yes, but please don't frown."

"Then I...... Wide-eyed thinking! ”

At this time, Lu Ran suddenly wanted to pour a glass of wine and wait slowly.

It's good to wait for an answer, but it's also good if you can stay in the moment of waiting for an answer forever.

Ke Zhizi didn't frown, just widened his eyes and occasionally pursed his lips.

I thought about it very seriously, and asked Lu Ran about the details again and again.

Although Lu Ran was reluctant to recall it over and over again, it was a nightmare, but who told him to like such moments?

This feeling he hadn't had in a long time.

"I thought about it."

Finally, Kochiko's eyes flashed, like a clear sky: "When I was a child, I heard people say that dreams are all the opposite. On the contrary, that is, one day, in the place where the spring flowers are blooming, you will walk to a certain person, and you will see that little flower again, that young man is not someone else, it is the future you. In the end, the boy took revenge and got the flowers, and finally walked back into the sea. ”

"But Zhizi, is it really good to make up nonsense like this?"

"There is no nonsense, dreams are dreams, and even if dreams are the opposite of reality, they don't mean anything."

"Why do you hear that dreams are the opposite? Haven't you dreamed? ”

"yes, maybe it's because I'm the 'Jade Clan'? Never have I ever dreamed. ”

"Then you still say that your explanation is not made up?"

"I'm dreaming right now, though."

"Ah, what do you mean?"

"I want to go to the world of 3022, I want to see the road of steel, the lamp that never goes out, and the city that never sleeps."

"I want to go to the stars made of steel in the sky, take a look, and from there, return to this earth."

"Hey, it's boring." Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that what Fang had just said was the most bizarre 3022 that Zhizi was most interested in.

But at this time, her melancholy blue eyes are really beautiful.

It's as beautiful as a dream.

Lu Ran was stunned and muttered, "But what if it's just a dream?" ”

Kechiko's voice was soft: "Then treat it as a dream." ”

Lu Ran slapped the table happily, and finally suddenly brightened, "That's right!" Then treat it as a dream! ”

"Yes, compared to people who don't have dreams, it's already very happy to be able to dream."

"Kechiko, you're such a genius!"

Lu Ran excitedly shook Ke Zhizi's hand.

"Ahem, take your groping hands." A delicate voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "After listening to it for so long, I have to tell you that it is not a dream, it is real." ”

Qingwu carried a cool night breeze, carried a small tree on his back, and pushed the door in.
