When the other people in the bar were still looking at the mustache covered in black dust with a dazed expression, Zhang Lisheng and the three girls had already quietly walked out of the bar.
As soon as he walked out of the door, under the bright streetlights, the young man stopped in his tracks in the cold wind and said with a smile, "Tina, I'll be leaving Noah World with mom and Uncle Lavin tomorrow to go back to New York.
After I go back to celebrate the new year, I'll continue to play the game of natives in the Shrimp World No. 2. I'm afraid it'll be a year before we meet again. "
"No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you to come to me, baby," Tina looked at her boyfriend. Tina looked at her boyfriend. Her big eyes were gradually covered with a layer of blurry mist as she said gently.
"I'll try my best to hurry up." Upon hearing his girlfriend's words, the young man nodded heavily and looked at the other two girls by the side before waving his hand. "Goodbye, Trish, Sheila."
"Oh, baby, I'll miss you!" Sheila covered her chest and went up to hug Zhang Lisheng. Kissing his cheek, she said reluctantly. When she let go, Trish also suddenly went up to hug the young man and whispered in his ear seriously, "No matter what others or yourself think, you've always been a knight in my heart, not a selfish villain."
After that, the girl bit her lip and took a deep look at Zhang Lisheng before saying loudly, "Goodbye, Lisheng."
Just like this, after bidding farewell to the young man one by one, the three girls turned around at the same time. As though they would not be able to hold back their tears if they took another look at him, they hailed a taxi on the street and left without looking back.
Zhang Lisheng watched the girls leave and stood on the street for a while in disappointment. Taking a deep breath of the cold air, just when he was about to extend his hand to stop a taxi, a large gray SUV stopped beside him all of a sudden.
When the young man was feeling dumbfounded, he saw the car window rolled down and revealed a beautiful and charming face. "Get in, Lisheng. I'll send you home."
"Maddy, w-why are you here?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. Frowning, he said in annoyance, "Don't treat me like an idiot and tell me this is a coincidence. Y-You're following me, aren't you?"
"Of course not." The girl shook her head and looked at the young man with a smile. "You've booked three tickets for yourself, Madam Lili, and Mr. Lavin at 10 o 'clock tomorrow morning through the company.
I thought that you might go home and sleep tonight since we left so early, so I kept going around the city to see if I could bump into you. "
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then, your luck is really ridiculously good." Zhang Lisheng was stunned again. When he recalled Maddie's good intentions, the anger in his heart vanished right away as he muttered, "But is it worth it?"
"Of course it's worth it to see you," Maddie said with a smile. "In recent months, dozens of new LS factories have been launched in Noah. I can't go back to New York this Christmas, so I must say goodbye to you.
Can you get in the car first? It's too cold with the windows open. "
"You can just call me directly if you want to contact me. Don't tell me that you don't know that the New Washington A is on the phone now?" Zhang Lisheng walked around the car and sat on the passenger seat before glancing at the girl and asking.
"But I'm afraid that it's not convenient for you to pick up my call. I don't want to make things difficult for you …" Maddie started the car and said softly.
"If you really think so, I wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament." The young man became silent for a while before replying coldly. Then, he sighed and whispered, "Don't be such an idiot if something like this happens again next time. You can't be so lucky to hit the 'elastic ball' every time. Just call me directly."
"B-But I want to see you say goodbye with my own eyes …" The girl whispered. Before her words could leave her mouth, she was interrupted by Zhang Lisheng's sudden roar that sounded like a trapped beast. "Then ask me out to meet you! What the hell? Can't you think straight?"
"Then, can we do anything else after we meet?" Maddie was not afraid of the young man's anger. With one hand on the steering wheel, she turned the SUV into a dark alley while her other hand slid gently and quickly under Zhang Lisheng's belt before gently stroking it.
The young man suddenly felt a warm and slippery sensation at his crotch, causing his body to stiffen. He wanted to curse, but he did not know what to say.
At this time, the car had already stopped. The girl pressed the button on the center console and put down the back of the passenger seat. Softly leaning her body forward, she kissed Zhang Lisheng's lower abdomen and continued to move downwards. With a hoarse and charming voice, she said, "You don't have to do anything. You don't have to do anything, baby.
You just need to enjoy it slowly and leave everything to me. I'll let you remember the beauty of this night forever … "Not long after, the SUV began to shake rhythmically.
After a spring breeze, it was already more than an hour later when the car restarted. After driving on the empty city road for another 20 minutes, the jeep finally drove into a white single-story wooden house that was built on both sides of the street in a middle-class community. It was already around 11 o 'clock in the evening.
After all, the foreign world's oasis could not be compared to the bustling cities on Earth. Now that it was close to midnight, the quiet street was already empty, leaving only the sound of the wind whistling.
The SUV stopped by the side. Maddie, whose face was still flushed, said softly, "We've reached Lisheng. Send my regards to your mother and Mr. Lavin according to Chinese etiquette." Very wisely, she no longer said anything.
When the girl was speaking, Zhang Lisheng jumped out of the car with a blank expression as though he did not hear anything. He strolled to a wooden house on the roadside and suddenly stopped. Without turning his head, he said loudly, "It's too late. Call me now and keep your phone on on the way back."
"I-I know." In the car, Maddie was stunned. She took out her phone and dialed Zhang Lisheng's number. Tears flowed out of her eyes out of nowhere as she shouted, "I'll send you a text message to tell you that I'm safe after I hang up the phone when I get back."
The young man raised his hand above his head and waved silently. After picking up the phone, he took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.
The wooden house was not big. Other than a kitchen that doubled as a living room, there was only a utility room, a master bedroom, a guest room, and two connected garages.
After entering the door quietly, Zhang Lisheng found that his mother and Lavin had not rested yet. They were watching an unknown documentary on the sofa in the living room. Startled, he said in a dumbfounded manner, "Mom, you and Uncle Lavin haven't slept yet? We still have to get up early to catch the plane tomorrow."
"Oh, baby, come here. I have something to say." Upon hearing this, Lili turned off the TV and turned on the light before walking to her son who was at the door apologetically.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Lisheng hugged his mother and asked in confusion.
"I'm sorry, baby. I can't go back to New York with you," Lili said guiltily. "There are seven children who transferred to the school today. Their parents were killed in the typhoon two months ago. As the principal, I think I can't leave them behind on Christmas …"
"Oh, mom, you don't have to say anymore. I understand what you mean." The young man sighed and nodded to interrupt his mother. "But can't you bring those children back to New York?"
"No, baby. Many teachers in the school plan to accompany those poor children in the auditorium on Christmas Eve."
"That's really loving. What about Uncle Lavin? Is he staying in Noah with you?"
"Yes, Lisheng. Since your mom can't leave New Washington A, I plan to stay too." Lavin, who was a big guy, nodded.
"Then I'll have to go back by myself." Zhang Lisheng shrugged. "I've never had a Christmas alone before. It's not bad to give it a try."
"Maybe you should stay too, baby." Imagining her son's loneliness on Christmas Eve, Lili's eyes turned red. "Or maybe you should spend the holidays with your brothers and sisters in New York. You shouldn't be alone on Christmas Eve …"
"Oh, don't worry, mom. I have my own plan." The young man smiled and kissed his mother's cheek. "It's late, I'll go to bed now."
Looking at her son who had long become independent, Lili seemed to want to say something. Opening her mouth, she only nodded silently and watched her son say to her lover, "Goodnight, Uncle Lavin." Then, she walked into the guest room.
The next morning, Zhang Lisheng walked out of the room early. When he saw that Lili had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast, he sweetly praised the taste of the pie. After having a good meal, he bade farewell to his mother and sat on the desert jeep waiting by the street, before driving towards the world passage connecting Noah and Earth.
The jeep drove rapidly in the desert, raising fine sand on both sides. About an hour later, when the car approached the broken world barrier under the strange white sunlight, a fiery red light curtain appeared in front of the young man.
"Hayde, is that the device set up by the Atlanteans to defend against the invasion of the foreign world's creatures?" Looking at the red brilliance that looked like flowing lava in the distance, Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting in the co-driver seat, asked the sturdy middle-aged driver who was driving the special nine-seater jeep as agilely as a go-kart.
"Yes, sir." The driver misunderstood the young man's meaning and hurriedly explained with a smile, "I've passed through it many times. That light curtain looks terrifying, but it's actually only a thin layer that can be crossed in half a step. As long as you don't smuggle any Noah World animals with you, you won't feel anything at all."
"What if you smuggle them?"
Zhang Lisheng's question made Hayde's expression turn grave. Swallowing his saliva, he said, "Turn, turn them into flying ashes? Sir, I've seen it with my own eyes before. Even though it doesn't cause any physical harm to the smugglers, the scene is still very terrifying. I must say that the Atlanteans really do have some tricks up their sleeves."
When the driver was speaking, the jeep did not slow down at all. Soon, they arrived in front of the world passage.
Even though many of the new immigrants in Noah planned to return to Earth for Christmas, due to the harsh conditions in Feren City, nobody was willing to wait for the plane there. All of them planned their departure time so there were not many people queuing up. After waiting for three to five minutes, it was finally Zhang Lisheng's turn in the jeep.
