"As expected of someone who works in a government agency. She's so busy. She's flying all day long."
Liu Haoming sighed and felt an inexplicable sense of regret in his heart. He thought that he would be able to see his old class rep, whom he had not seen for a long time, tonight, but he did not expect the class rep to fly away.
"Yeah, she's a public official after all, and she's also a supernatural being. It's normal for her to be a little busy."
Li Zhengkang frowned and felt extremely depressed. He was as excited as he was when Dong Xue agreed to have a meal with him during the day. Now, he was as depressed as he was excited.
"There's no other way. We can only make another appointment next time when we're free. Let's go in first."
The two of them then walked toward the restaurant.
"By the way, Zhengkang, which private room did you book?" Liu Haoming asked the question he wanted to ask over the phone just now.
"Private room? What private room?" Li Zhengkang blinked.
"A private room is so expensive. How can we afford it? The two of us can just get a table in the lobby."
Liu Haoming was speechless.
As the two of them spoke, they had already stepped into the restaurant. Dozens of tables filled with customers came into view.
Li Zhengkang brought Liu Haoming to the table he had booked in the corner with ease. He called the waiter over to order, but the price of the dishes exceeded 1,000 yuan before they could order them.
After the waiter left, Liu Haoming looked at his old classmate's pained expression. He wanted to say something but hesitated. "Since we're going to eat in the lobby, we might as well find a food stall. It's cheap and affordable."
"That won't do!"
Li Zhengkang suppressed his heartache.
"Food stalls don't have any standards."
"No matter what, I came back from abroad this time. It's considered a glorious return to my hometown, so I must treat you well!"
Liu Haoming was speechless.
'If you don't speak through gritted teeth, I'll believe you.'
In reality, Li Zhengkang's intestines were about to turn green with regret. With his close relationship with Liu Haoming, if it was just the two of them eating, they could have just found a food stall.
At first, he had booked the Cape of Good Hope because he wanted to show off in front of Dong Xue. Later on, Dong Xue couldn't come at the last minute, and he couldn't cancel the reservation in time. He could only brace himself and do it.
However, regret was regret. With his personality, even if Liu Haoming fought with him to pay the bill afterwards, he would definitely not agree.
After a while, the waiter brought the plates to the table. It had to be said that a big restaurant was indeed a big restaurant. The dishes they made looked, smelled, and tasted good. Just looking at them made one's appetite rise.
The two of them chatted while eating and drinking. Although they were in the lobby of the restaurant, the environment was not noisy. There was not even a smoker, so it did not affect them at all. In addition, the surroundings were gorgeous and beautiful. In Li Zhengkang's words, it was very impressive.
When the two old classmates were chatting, they naturally talked about their school days. When they talked about their high school days, Li Zhengkang couldn't help but mention Dong Xue.
"Brother Hao, I used to read some novels. They always said that you can't meet someone too amazing when you're young. Otherwise, you won't have a good life in the future. I didn't understand what this sentence meant at the time, but now I gradually understand."
After three rounds of drinking, Li Zhengkang was already a little tipsy. What he said was also more heartfelt.
"What do you understand?" Liu Haoming was surprised.
Li Zhengkang stared deeply at the wine in the glass, as if he could see his youth in it. He said slowly,
"If there's anyone who amazed me during my youth, it must be Dong Xue. When she awakened her extraordinary ability, she spat out flames in front of the whole school and almost burned down the teaching building. I'll never forget that scene for the rest of my life. It's a pity …"
"It's a pity."
Liu Haoming continued his words as if he regretted his life. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that she didn't burn down the teaching building in the end. Why can't she burn it down? If she did, we wouldn't have to go to school. "
Li Zhengkang was speechless.
"Yeah, why didn't she burn down the teaching building … Bah, bah, bah! I've been led astray by you! "
Li Zhengkang sorted out his thoughts and continued.
"What I regret is, why can't I awaken my extraordinary ability?"
"If I had awakened my extraordinary ability at that time and was also recommended to enter Extraordinary University, my life would definitely be hundreds of times more exciting than it is now! Just like the protagonists in web novels, they transform into the nemesis of evil and roam the city unhindered. Be it the golden fish in the pond, or a dragon in the face of a storm. Be it Abin Gao Yi Mister Qin, be it a beautiful campus belle or an iceberg CEO, all of them are taken into the harem … "
"Wait a minute," Liu Haoming interrupted him. "The online novels you mentioned, are they serious?"
"You want serious ones, right? There are some, like how the heavens didn't give birth to me, Li Zhengkang. Swordsmanship is like a long night, and kings can't be humiliated. Even if I have to carry the Heavenly Abyss and the original Imperial City, I, Li Zhengkang, am still invincible in the world. Brother Hao, save me …"
"Wait!"
Liu Haoming interrupted him again. "Zhengkang, we haven't drunk much yet. Why are you so drunk?"
"I'm a little drunk," Li Zhengkang admitted frankly. "But I'm not too drunk."
"I really want to awaken my extraordinary ability. As long as I can become an Extraordinary, no matter how poor my life is, it will definitely be more exciting than working from nine to five every day!"
This sentence more or less touched Liu Haoming.
Ever since the day Extraordinaires appeared in the public eye, there was no one who did not want to become an Extraordinaire, and Liu Haoming was no exception. He was also a hot-blooded youth who had yet to be smoothed out by life. He had also fantasized about how his life would change drastically after he became an Extraordinaire, and he would definitely not spend his days lazing around in an internet cafe with the little fox.
"An Extraordinary, huh …"
He was inexplicably looking forward to it.
Li Zhengkang continued, "On the day Dong Xue was taken away by the government, I knew that from then on, she would no longer belong to the same world as us. This world has been clearly divided into different levels. What do you mean by a supernatural being? As the name suggests, it is an existence that transcends mortals. Many people on the Internet say that even if an Extraordinary kills an ordinary person on the street, they will not be sentenced to jail. They don't even have to pay compensation. I don't know if it's true or not. "
"It must be fake," Liu Haoming said without hesitation.
"No matter how extraordinary you are, you still have to abide by the laws and regulations. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos."
"Trap? What trap?"
Liu Haoming, "…"
It seemed that Japan was indeed quite open-minded. His old classmate was fine when he went there, but something was not quite right when he came back.
"Distinguished guests, good evening!"
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a fat man with a big belly. He looked very rich and seemed to be a big boss.
Beside the fat man stood a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe. His beard fluttered in the wind, and he looked quite sage-like.
