Chapter 7 Childhood sweethearts
Dong'an is an ancient city with a very long history and profound cultural heritage. However, with the large-scale renovation of the city, high-rise buildings have risen from the ground, and those ancient charms can only be found in the preserved tourist attractions.
Zhao Rui's home is located in a community built in the late 80s in the southern suburbs of Dong'an, and although it is a little cold surrounded by high-end residential buildings nearby, it is relatively quiet.
When Zhao Rui returned home, the first thing he did was to take a bath, after being exposed to the wind and sun outside for so many days, and soaking in the sea water for so long, it was already dirty.
Rushing into the bathroom, letting the water from the sprinkler head wash his body, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the golden nest and the silver nest were really inferior to his own kennel, and he was comfortable at home.
After an hour of washing the dirt on his body, Zhao Rui wiped the water droplets on his body with a towel, and picked up a mirror to look at it.
Ever since his body was fused with the ancient demon genes, he had changed dramatically, but he never knew what his face had become.
The round mirror clearly reflects his face - bronze complexion, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, clear contours, looking very handsome, compared with the ordinary people who can't be found in the pile before, it is obviously not a level, fortunately, the current appearance still has the shadow of the past.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can finally recognize it, otherwise, those neighbors, classmates and teachers can't recognize it, and it will be really troublesome. ”
Zhao Rui touched his face with his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
He had always been worried that the demon gene had modified his body too much, and now it seemed that he was a little too worried.
After taking a shower, he went to the bedroom to get clean clothes to change into, when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?"
Zhao Rui asked, wondering why someone was looking for him as soon as he returned.
When I opened the door, I saw a beautiful girl in her early twenties standing outside the door. The girl wears a white T-shirt on the upper body, denim shorts on the bottom, a pair of pink sandals on her feet, and a pair of long beautiful legs with a dazzling sheen.
"Rui, it's really you, you're back!"
When the girl saw Zhao Rui, she immediately screamed happily, opened her arms and wanted to give Zhao Rui a warm hug, but suddenly thought of the difference between men and women, and her arms stretched out in the air and suddenly put them down.
"Sister Xiaolan, we haven't seen each other for more than ten days, do you miss me like this?" Zhao Rui smiled as he let the girl in.
The girl's name is Sun Xiaolan, she lives opposite Zhao Rui, her father is a university professor, and her mother is also a high school teacher.
Because they are neighbors, the relationship between the two has been very close since childhood, plus elementary school, junior high school, and high school are all in the same school, and they were later admitted to the same university, so they can be called childhood sweethearts.
Sun Xiaolan is one year older than Zhao Rui, and she has regarded herself as Zhao Rui's sister since she was a child, and she has a strong desire to protect, so much so that the aunt downstairs once teased that Xiaolan is a little hen overflowing with love and always defends Zhao Rui.
"Of course I miss you. Sun Xiaolan entered the house, sat on the sofa, and felt as comfortable as when she arrived at her own home, her white and slender legs crossed and overlapped, shaking and shaking.
"Two days ago, I heard Aunt Li from the neighborhood committee say that the Hailing luxury cruise ship you took encountered a huge storm when you went to sea, and many people died and disappeared, and you are on the list of missing people, and there is little hope of survival. I was so sad that I cried a lot! I didn't expect you to run back by yourself just after crying, which really made me cry in vain. ”
Sun Xiaolan's tone was a little complaining, but her big eyes kept turning around on Zhao Rui's face, revealing a sense of joy, obviously very happy that he had returned safely.
Zhao Rui smiled lightly, feeling a little moved in his heart, since his parents passed away in a car accident, there is probably only Sister Xiaolan who cares about and takes care of him the most in this world.
"How do you know I'm back?"
"I was watching TV at home just now, and suddenly I heard my mother say that there was a sound of the door opening on the other side, and I thought it was a thief, so I went to your door and listened to it, and there was a shower sound inside, so I quickly knocked on the door, but I didn't expect that a lively Xiaorui appeared in front of me!"
Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something, tilted her head, looked at Zhao Rui and asked, "By the way, how did you survive the shipwreck?" I heard Aunt Li say that the chances of survival don't seem to be very good!"
Zhao Rui was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell her about the Immortal Demon Cemetery.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was better to keep his experience hidden. After all, that experience was so bizarre that no one who was slightly sane would believe it.
If you really want to tell the truth, I am afraid that Sister Xiaolan will immediately think that she has been strongly stimulated and mentally disordered, and she will be sent directly to a mental hospital.
"When the storm came, I fell into the sea, and after I fell unconscious, I happened to be rescued by other passing boats, so I survived. He made up a reason and prevaricated.
"Oh, really, Rui, you're really lucky. Sun Xiaolan did not express doubts about this explanation, "However, I think you seem to have changed a little when you come back this time!"
"Where has changed?" Zhao Rui was slightly startled, thinking that she had seen a flaw.
"It's dark, it's handsome, it seems that even the temperament has changed a lot!" Sun Xiaolan frowned slightly, looked at Zhao Rui carefully, and looked a little puzzled, "But if you look closely, it doesn't seem to have changed." ”
Zhao Rui breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Of course it hasn't changed, the sea is windy and sunny, of course it will be healthier, as for being handsome, I have always been handsome!"
"Blaze. Sun Xiaolan smiled and stretched out her hand and gently tapped his head: "If you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, and it is a great joy that you can come back alive." Well, I'll invite you to dinner, and I'll be shocked. ”
"Sister Xiaolan, I should have invited you, right? ”
"You don't have a lot of money, don't spend it indiscriminately. Sun Xiaolan taught him a serious lesson as the eldest sister, and then continued, "Let's go to the Hengyue Building opposite the community, their Hunan cuisine is very authentic, and they have long been greedy, and this time they finally seized the opportunity!"
Zhao Rui knew that he couldn't resist her, so he had to smile and nod in agreement.
