Chapter 170
Chapter 170
As night fell, they returned to the isolated territory of the shelter along a winding path.Looking from a distance, the impregnable fortress is majestic and majestic, but there are bright red lanterns hanging on the city walls, shaking their heads with the howling cold wind, adding a lot of festive atmosphere.
"The ones that have just been put up on New Year's Day have to be hung up until the New Year," Amor introduced. "I don't care about any festivals when I go to prison, but I still have to celebrate the Spring Festival every year. Everyone misses home."
Bai Jianxiao, who just came back a year later, is still a little uncomfortable. He hasn't felt this kind of prosperous and lively festival atmosphere for too long, and he hasn't seen the kind of happiness without haze on people's faces. He almost forgot What it's like to live in peaceful times.
"Is this a shelter on earth?" Qianli asked suddenly.
"Well," Bai Jianxiao didn't expect him to recognize it, "You don't know the world at all."
"No," Qianli blinked, "I heard Yin Qianling say how to attack the terrain here and how to break through the city walls. I have also seen Koutian's unified strategy. First attack the shelter, then fight against the Jiange, and finally win freedom." Union or something..."
Bai Jianxiao: "..."
Amor: "Pfft——"
Qianli tilted his head, and obviously said such explosive news, but the expressions of the two people in front of him were quite strange, and even a little strangely happy, Amor supported Bai Jianxiao's shoulder and bent over with a smile: "Bai Bai, this kind of It's really amazing hahaha..."
"Why, don't you believe it?" Qianli pouted, "I told you out of kindness."
Bai Jianxiao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Qianli, it's not that we don't believe you, but that this has indeed happened."
"Huh?" Qianli was even more confused.
"It's a long story," Bai Jianxiao led him into the gate of the guild, "I'll talk about it in detail at night, let's tidy up a place for you first."
Although it was getting late, under the red lanterns, the main street of the shelter was still very lively.They have their own market with a wide variety of products, the smell of hot food comes from the small restaurants that are thriving, and the loudspeakers are playing in the shops that sell ammunition: "Congratulations on getting rich-congratulations on your wonderful-" Some The table is drinking and punching, bursting into hearty laughter from time to time, the young lovers are hiding in the corner where the street lights can’t reach, and the inmate is sitting on the bench with his lost person, taking him to experience the world again ...
Only at this time, Bai Jianxiao really felt the meaning of "human world", not the exquisite and false bustling world like a paradise, but a group of people who were struggling in the wind and snow but still working hard to live, forming such a lively world of fireworks.
"Everyone is hungry, I'm here to treat you," Amor took out his wallet, and led them into a small shop. "Don't look at this restaurant, it tastes the best."
Although the facade is small, the space inside is very large, and the business is very good.The simple Eight Immortals tables and benches were filled to the brim, and the adjacent tables were all leaning against each other, with their feet crossing.The meals are cheap and big bowls, with a tangy aroma. Huluhulu raised his head and ate it with the hot soup, heartily.
Seeing the president come to the door, everyone was very pleasantly surprised, and moved around to give them an empty table.They are both neighbors and comrades-in-arms, and everyone can talk to each other. Amor greets the members freely without any airs.Someone had the guts to call Bai Jianxiao "President's wife", which immediately caused the audience to burst into laughter.
Bai Jianxiao wasn't angry either, she accepted the title openly, drank a few glasses of wine without changing her face, and won even more enthusiastic applause.
The food came out quickly, and it was really delicious. Qianli's eyes were shining, and he turned into a sweeping machine and wiped out the food.Bai Jianxiao drank a few more glasses of wine toasted by others, and seeing that Qianli's job bowl was empty, she smiled and said, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you, I'll go get you some food."
After that, he picked up the bowl and helped him go to the kitchen to cook.Walking around the screen partition, I suddenly saw a deserted corner, where there was only one person sitting alone drinking wine.Not only the table he was sitting at, but the three tables around him were all empty, as if there was an invisible air barrier separating him.The surrounding guests would rather huddle together with several people than approach him, and dare not speak loudly, as if they are afraid of disturbing the evil dragon in the devil's lair.
Bai Jianxiao suddenly woke up from the blissful bliss, feeling uncontrollably sad.
Lu Zhiqiong raised his eyes and looked at him, his black eyes were as dark as night, he raised his wine glass to greet him from a distance, with a slightly mocking smile on his face: "To Madam President."
Bai Jianxiao walked towards him straightly, everyone around froze, the food in his mouth fell to the plate, and the chopsticks fell to the ground.
"You are." Bai Jianxiao said softly.
"What?" His voice was too soft for Lu Zhiqiong to hear clearly.
You are my president's wife, Bai Jianxiao repeated in her heart.He reached out and grabbed his arm, "What's the point of drinking alone, eat with us."
Court death!Don't be too hot!The onlookers yelled in their hearts, "Is it not good to live? Why mess with the vice president?" !They immediately made up a newcomer's daughter-in-law who was spoiled and proud, and provoked right and wrong ignorantly, thinking that everyone should give him face, but they didn't know that the vice president was the biggest devil in the guild.
"Why?" Lu Zhiqiong didn't move, instead he leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, lit a cigarette, as if he enjoyed a life without being disturbed.
Why?Bai Jianxiao is angry, do you want me to say that I just can't bear to look at you alone, just can't bear your indifferent and playful gaze?
Even the fact that he smoked made Bai Jianxiao's heart ache - Lu Zhiqiong once quit smoking for himself - those things he took for granted, those things he should have, now all no longer belong to him .
"Hey, isn't it just rejecting you?" Seeing his aggrieved look, Lu Zhiqiong somehow softened his heart, "Why are you so sad."
Bai Jianxiao didn't want to show her emotions, and if she stayed any longer, she would definitely do something more embarrassing, so she turned around and left.Lu Zhiqiong grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and said with a gentle tone that he didn't realize: "Okay, I'll just go with you."
After that, he subconsciously crushed the cigarette into the plate, grabbed his wrist and walked towards Amor's table.
The food in his mouth is not gossip, the vice president suddenly held the hand of the president's wife, and the three of them wanted to eat at the same table, what a blast!The onlookers all stared at Amor's table with great interest.
It's a pity that no one expressed surprise at Lu Zhiqiong's arrival except for Qianli who said, "Didn't you bring me food? Where is my food?"The four of them happened to meet at a table, and Amor asked the proprietress to add two more dishes. With his hands on his face, he glanced at Lu Zhiqiong for a while, and Bai Jianxiao for a while.
Qianli discovered the strangeness of the atmosphere with the intuition of a beast. Why does this "love angel" who claims to solve his love crisis seem to be deeply involved in the emotional vortex?
"This is their signature dish," Amor picked up a chopstick for Bai Jianxiao, "Eat more, you look so thin."
"Thank you." Just as Bai Jianxiao was about to pick up the fish, there was another piece of pork belly on the bowl.He raised his head in surprise, but saw Lu Zhiqiong said with a natural expression: "It's better to eat more meat to build up your physique."
"Thank you for your kindness, but don't eat fat for nothing," Amor reminded faintly, "You should eat it yourself."
"Oh?" Lu Zhiqiong smiled, "Are you sure?"
"..." Bai Jianxiao was biting a corner of the meat, neither eating nor spitting it out. Feeling angry, she pushed the bowl away and stood up, "Sorry, I don't have an appetite, so I'm leaving first."
"I'll accompany you back." Amor immediately stood up.
"What are you doing, you said you wanted to invite me to dinner, but you turned your face and left after eating half of it?" Lu Zhiqiong was not happy.
"This is a private matter between me and him," Amor said.
"There is no personal matter between you and me." Lu Zhiqiong's eyes were burning.
Bai Jianxiao had already walked straight out the door, Amor ignored him, and hurriedly followed, Lu Zhiqiong followed immediately, leaving only Qianli guarding a table of food, and sighed: "Don't waste food..."
On the way back, it was cold on a winter night, and Bai Jianxiao had to accept the coats that the two of them were vying to put on—even though he was not cold at all, on the contrary, there was a volcano in his stomach that was about to erupt.
Lu Zhiqiong followed all the way to the small courtyard where Amor lived, without any intention of leaving.Bai Jianxiao asked, "What else do you want to do? If you're okay, don't provoke me."
"It was you who provoked me first." Lu Zhiqiong said, "I just wanted to drink alone."
No, Bai Jianxiao yelled in his heart, you were the one who provoked me first, and it's been like this from the beginning.
"Did something happen between us?" Lu Zhiqiong moved his face closer, staring at his eyes very close, his breath almost intertwined, "You seem to care about me very much."
"How could I not care about you? We..." Bai Jianxiao was about to tell the truth, but seeing Amor standing aside and looking at him, he suddenly remembered his promise, and changed his words, "Even if we have What, it's over now. Don't ask."
Lu Zhiqiong was obviously not convinced, he suddenly raised his chin, and kissed him lightly on the lips, the smell of alcohol brushed over his nose, and soon dissipated.Bai Jianxiao opened his eyes wide, his mind went blank, as if sealed by this kiss, unable to react to everything around him.
"Why are you so surprised? You've been looking at me like that, as if you wanted to be loved by me," Lu Zhiqiong licked the corner of his mouth, "Is it because of Amor? Because of my useless clone? He Teach you what to do..."
"Yeah, I'm just a useless avatar," Amor seldom showed such a fierce attitude. He inserted himself between the two and pushed Lu Zhiqiong hard, "I don't care about anything." Not as good as you, but at least in terms of love, I also have abilities that you don't have!"
Lu Zhiqiong leaned against the wall without saying a word, Amor took Bai Jianxiao's hand and went straight home.
Closing the door, blocking the scorching sight, Bai Jianxiao touched her lips, feeling confused.
He clearly knew that it wasn't Lu Zhiqiong's fault, he just forgot everything like Qianli and the others.How could he blame someone who didn't know anything?How can you ask him to treat himself like before?
He can see everything clearly, but he can't control his emotions, he can't even get drunk, he can only accept the pain soberly.
"I'm sorry, I made it difficult for you. I don't want to see things turn out like this, and I don't want to make you suffer." Amor was still as gentle and gentle as before, hugged him gently, and put his head on his On the shoulders, the breath is like a butterfly that falls by chance.
"Forget about our agreement. Take a good rest today, and when you wake up tomorrow, I will tell Tang Yuan and the others that you go and have a good talk with Lu Zhiqiong, so that he can remember the matter of 'love you' again."
