After sitting in the chair for less than half an hour, Huai Shi got drunk and fell on the table with a bang.
He fell into a deep sleep.
Then, he had a dream.
In the dream, there was the distant and melodious sound of a cello.
It was as if he had returned to his childhood, playing with other children in the courtyard, chasing and playing. When he turned around, he saw the teacher leaning against the door, smiling and waving at them.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the snot and stains on Huai Shi's face.
The afternoon sun shone on the teacher's long hair, plating it with a layer of fleeting golden glow, making her smile gentle and blurry.
Huai Shi couldn't see her face clearly. His attention was all on the girl sitting alone behind the teacher. His cheeks turned red as he stared blankly at the girl sitting alone in the piano room behind the teacher.
The teacher bent down, reached out, and pinched his face. Then, he asked something.
So he raised his head, puffed out his chest, and answered loudly,
"I … I want to be friends with Sister Xiao Qing!"
The teacher laughed.
Holding his hand, they walked toward the lonely girl.
The sound of the cello stopped abruptly, and the memory fragments were suddenly cut off.
Huai Shi opened his eyes, got up from the table again, and stared blankly at everything in front of him.
The dream just now quickly dissipated in his memory. He couldn't remember the details, but he felt a sense of absurdity. It was like a fairy tale. The warm color was so extravagant in his childhood memory that it was almost unreal.
Was it the excessive beautification of his subconscious or pure imagination?
He wasn't sure.
After a long time, he woke up slightly from the drunken stupor and confusion. He turned around and looked at Yoo Dong-ri beside him, and finally his gaze fell on the wine glass in front of him.
His eyes were filled with suspicion.
"What wine is this?"
He only drank a few mouthfuls and he was already drunk?
"Oh, you woke up so quickly." Yoo Dong-ri clicked his tongue in wonder. "The special water of life produced by the Russian Federation's genealogy. It is said that even a stone will get drunk after drinking it. You just lay there for a while?"
Huai Shi picked up the glass and sniffed it. Finally, he smelled the alcohol that was about to turn into poison under the cover of the bartender. His expression immediately twitched.
After pouring away the glass of wine in disgust, he waved his hand and ordered a glass of juice before continuing to daydream.
"By the way, where were we? Oh, yes, Shambhala … "
Yoo Dong-ri continued with a cigarette in his mouth, "Shambhala is a great place! Not only is the climate suitable, the scenery is beautiful, and the beauty technology is top-notch. They have the best hot springs and spa in the world … For three years in a row, they have been voted the most suitable border for recuperation! "
Huai Shi pressed on his throbbing forehead and could not hear anything clearly. He could only feel that the words went into his left ear and out his right ear. He really could not figure out what kind of place Shambhala was, but he did not want Old Liu to explain it all by himself.
"Which country? “
"Public sovereignty borders. Most of the borders nowadays are like this. They are developed and managed by a few local families or groups, forming a committee … Hey, I digress.
Although it is not a gourmet city, there are still more than a dozen restaurants that are rated by the Mouth of Hunger, and the wine is also good. The last time I stayed there for a few days, I even grew a few more strands of hair. "
Speaking of this, Old Liu's eyebrows twitched. He even parted his hair to show his hairline that was struggling to fight against fate.
"…"
Huai Shi's expression twitched, and he smiled awkwardly, "It sounds great."
"And there are also beautiful girls. You know girls, right?" Old Liu took out his collection of photos and showed them to him, "There are all kinds of girls, passionate and unrestrained American girls, determined and strong Russian Federation girls, cute and cute Yingzhou girls, and even a lot of Egyptian noblewomen!"
It had to be said that although Old Liu was a little unrestrained, his photography skills were still pretty good.
Huai Shi's eyes widened as she sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Wow, so good!"
"You think that's it?"
Yoo Dong-ri smiled mysteriously, picked up a tourism brochure from the side, and flipped through it quickly, "A chain store set up by 16 workshops and Metatron Cube's offline store. There are all kinds of weapons … Most importantly, there is an exhibition of Cavendish's giant war robots!"
As he spoke, he turned directly to the last page and showed Huai Shi a huge promotional poster that spanned across the page. It was a giant humanoid robot with a sword in its hand, and its eyes were shining with golden light.
"Oh, oh, oh!!!" Huai Shi's face was red with excitement, and his eyes were wide open.
Old Liu still felt that it was not enough, and he raised his voice, "In addition to six new types of jetpacks and weapons, the most important thing is that a lucky tourist will be selected to provide driving services!"
What the hell is this place!
Is it heaven!
Huai Shi felt that his nose was about to bleed, and he wanted to jump into the poster.
"How is it?" Yoo Dong-ri closed the brochure and smiled mysteriously, "I happen to have a customized ticket for a high-end tour here. Do you want to go together?"
"Forget it." Huai Shi sighed.
"Why!" Yoo Dong-ri's eyes widened, "Are you crazy! There are giant robots! And you can drive them! Are you still a man! "
"There are hot springs, young ladies, and giant robots, but what does that have to do with me? I just want to go back to Xin Hai, go home, and sleep … "
Huai Shi lowered his head to look at his phone, and he scrolled through the messages on the screen. "I only took two days off, and it's already past the time. No matter what, I have to go back and ask Ai Qing for a few more days, right?"
Yoo Dong-ri did not say anything.
"By the way, why can't I contact Ai Qing?" Huai Shi raised his head and stared at Yoo Dong-ri's face, "Do you have any clues?"
"… I've only been here for two days. How would I know? Maybe it's a closed-door training. This kind of thing happens often." Yoo Dong-ri laughed, "I'll help you ask for leave later. The plane will take off in an hour. Why don't we go first?"
"No, I'm not going."
Huai Shi said calmly, "You're hiding something from me."
"…"
"It's about Ai Qing, right?" Huai Shi asked.
"…"
Yoo Dong-ri pretended not to hear him. He turned back to admire the young ladies in the bar, and he whistled nonchalantly.
"Then I'll ask Ol 'Xiao directly."
Huai Shi pretended to make the call, but he was stopped by Yoo Dong-ri in a hurry, and his expression was bitter, "I say, why do you have to get involved in this mess?"
Huai Shi was expressionless, "You have to tell me what happened, right?"
"How would I know?"
Yoo Dong-ri's face was filled with grief and indignation. When he saw Huai Shi's indifferent expression, he became even more indignant, "I'm not lying to you. I really don't know … Two days ago, Sister Ai came to me and told me that the Yin Family will most likely make a move on you. She told me to tell you to be patient. Now is not the time. She told me to take you abroad for a few days and come back after the storm passes.
Her intuition is like a Crow's Beak. The more serious the situation, the more accurate it is. I don't dare to not believe her! "
"…"
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time. Then, he heard the door in the distance being pushed open. An unfamiliar woman quickly walked in and looked around. When she saw Huai Shi's table, she hurriedly rushed over and sat down while panting.
She picked up the vodka that had just been served on the table and drank it in one gulp.
"Oh no, oh no, Ai Qing is in trouble!"
Huai Shi was stunned.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"She's still your colleague. Ai Qing didn't mention her to you … Forget it, she doesn't look like someone who would introduce her friends to others."
Chai Fei sighed helplessly. She glanced at Yoo Dong-ri, then looked at Huai Shi, "An hour ago, she was suspended for investigation … She helped you cover up the Red Gloves incident. Later, when Green Day was implicated in the Jinling incident, the investigation team decided to suspend her duties for investigation. As a result, she was immediately taken away by the Yin Family."
Yoo Dong-ri's expression twitched. He raised his hand and slapped his face, silently cursing.
"How did you find me here?" he asked.
"Don't underestimate your best friend's intuition, okay?" Chai Fei glanced at him, "Just look at her call history, then compare it with the people she has contacted in the past two days. Finally, look at the location of Huai Shi's phone, and you can confirm it, okay?"
After seeing the travel brochure and plane ticket next to Yoo Dong-ri, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly realized, "Wow, are you guys planning to run away? Isn't that too embarrassing? "
Yoo Dong-ri had a bitter expression, "Can I say that I'm innocent?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you guys stay or leave."
Chai Fei pouted. She waved her hand and asked the waiter to serve the snack brand. Then, she began to eat high-calorie food. Her mouth was full, and she said vaguely, "Anyway, as a friend, all I can do is to inform you guys … No, the main point is actually Huai Shi over there. I can't do anything else."
"You're too shallow as a friend!"
"The friends in the office are already very loyal to each other!" Chai Fei glared at Yoo Dong-ri, "Also, aren't you a gigolo? You cheated so many innocent girls of their money, and you still have the right to criticize me! "
"…"
Yoo Dong-ri, who was at the bottom of the chain of contempt, was speechless.
"If you ask me, Xiao Qing isn't the type to sit and wait for death. Also, the suspension document this time is too strange. Something might happen later. It's better for you guys to stay away."
Chai Fei patted Huai Shi's shoulder, "If she didn't say anything to you, then it's best if you don't get involved … Wait, your surname is Huai?"
Huai Shi nodded.
"Forget it, I'm afraid I came here for nothing."
Chai Fei rubbed her forehead with a headache, "That woman is crazy. I'm afraid the Yin family will really come for you this time … It's best if you go out and hide for a while. After a while, they won't be able to do anything to you."
"You're saying the Yin family wants to make an example of Huai Shi?" Yoo Dong-ri was in disbelief.
"Why not? If we let him develop, then one day he will destroy our entire family?"
Chai Fei sneered, "Even if there's pressure from the Social Security Bureau, there are still many ways. Don't you know how many ways there are to destroy a person? They don't have to do anything. They just have to let Huai Shi seek his own death … For example, if you overestimate yourself and provoke the Yin family, the Yin family can't be blamed for fighting back, right? "
She threw the entire chicken wing into her mouth and swallowed it, including the skin and bones.
Finally, she spat out the insignificant dregs into the trash can.
"So, this is her arrangement?"
Huai Shi lowered his head and looked at the plane ticket next to Yoo Dong-ri. He suddenly understood.
Chai Fei nodded.
"There's something I haven't said before …" Huai Shi was silent for a long time and sighed softly, "I really hate the way she acts as if everything is under her control."
He picked up the glass and drank the juice and ice cubes inside.
He chewed the hard ice cubes and swallowed them.
The glass was gently placed on the coaster. The smooth rim of the glass reflected Huai Shi's eyes.
He said, "I won't."
"Tsk." Yoo Dong-ri tilted his head and sighed.
"To be honest, I've had enough of her self-righteous arrangements and plans, even if I don't have the chance to tell her." Huai Shi looked up and whispered to himself, "Who does she think she is? She has a cold face and doesn't even know how to smile at people. She only cares about making arrangements for others and thinks that it's good for others … There's something wrong with this woman from the beginning, right? "
"…" Yoo Dong-ri opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"So, I'm not leaving."
Huai Shi looked up at them. "I'm going to stay, and I'm going to look for her and walk right into her trap."
"Are you crazy?"
Yoo Dong-ri scratched his wig in annoyance and looked at him as if he was looking at a fool. "Are you crazy because you're a prince? Do you think you can handle everything? "
"In fact, I haven't handled anything."
Huai Shi replied calmly, "Many times, I think I can handle it, but in the end, there are others who help me. When I do things impulsively, it often makes things worse. I thought I could save Luo Xian, but Luo Xian is still lying in the hospital … How can I have the face to think that I can save Ai Qing? "
"Then what are you after? Do you want to die? "
"No, I just thought of it now …"
The young man sighed softly and couldn't help but laugh. "I originally wanted to be good friends with her."
Yoo Dong-ri was stunned.
"From the first time I saw her, I told the teacher that I wanted to be friends with her."
Huai Shi lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh. "Now that I think about it, she was exactly the same as she is now. She was prouder than anyone else, and she was also better than anyone else. She even played the piano better than us. She was always alone and never played games with others.
Later, after we became familiar with each other, her attitude would occasionally become closer. She was like a wild cat, and people couldn't do anything about it. But she has always taken care of me. Even after knowing that there was a problem with me, she was still willing to be with me. "
"Although there are many things that are not satisfactory, I still admire and like Ai Qing very much. She is still willing to be my friend, so I can't leave, and I can't just leave her here alone."
Huai Shi said seriously, "I will go find her, even if she doesn't want to."
Yoo Dong-ri asked expressionlessly, "What if someone stops you?"
"Then I'll deal with it as I see fit." Huai Shi shrugged. "If possible, it would be best if I could kill her great-grandfather while I'm at it."
Yoo Dong-ri asked, "What if you don't come back?"
"Then I won't go."
Huai Shi shrugged. "I'll go home and sleep. There's everything in my dreams … Can't you just hope that I'll be better?"
"I'm just reminding you not to avoid the objective reality," Yoo Dong-ri said coldly. "You have to think clearly. This time, no one will help you."
"Please don't say such things to a seventeen-year-old chuunibyou." Huai Shi couldn't help but laugh. "There are some things that must be done, right?"
"Then I wish you a safe journey to the netherworld."
Yoo Dong-ri helplessly picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass. He took out money and a tip and put it under the glass. "I should go. Be careful."
He turned and left.
Chai Fei, who was next to him, looked at the two of them, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Angry for a beauty. Young man, you have a bright future."
Huai Shi's eyes lit up. "Then are you willing to help?"
"I won't." Chai Fei shook her head and smiled slyly. "If you want to be a hero, please do it yourself. Why make things difficult for a weak office clerk like me? By the way, can I order another fruit platter? "
"No, thank you. I don't have the money to pay the bill." Huai Shi shook his head and sighed. "To be honest, I regretted it as soon as I said it. Can you help me call him back? I still want to see the super-large robot. "
Chai Fei shrugged with a helpless look on her face.
"Come on, little brother!" She clenched her hands and cheered Huai Shi on. "I have faith in you."
Huai Shi curled his lips, picked up his backpack, and got up to leave.
"You're on your way?" Chai Fei was surprised.
"Go home, sober up, and sleep!"
Huai Shi said grumpily and pushed the door open.
The door closed, leaving Chai Fei sitting alone in the same place.
She looked down at the messages on her phone. After a long time, her smile became more and more happy and proud.
"Oh, I really deserve to be called a golden best friend … Waiter, give me another fried chicken."
It was a pity that without the cold eyes of her best friend to accompany her meal, she always felt that something was missing.
"I really hope nothing will happen."
She sighed softly.
