Volume 5 Chapter 85 It’s rare to meet a confidant
Too many things happened today. Ling Jie was not in a particularly good mood. Although he acted very calmly from beginning to end, behind this calmness was a worried heart. She rushed to the door He pointed to the road outside and said, "In that case, let's go for a walk together."
Xiao Yu nodded obediently and walked over first. Ling Jie smiled bitterly and walked behind. He said he was going for a walk, but he had something to discuss with Xiao Yu. If it weren't for something, Ling Jie would rather be alone. A man goes for a walk and wants to be quiet.
The dark golden moonlight shines on the small street, and together with the messy street lights next to the road, it leaves a large shadow on the ground. There are not many people on the road, only some stalls selling late night snacks are still open. Obviously, their Business is not good. This place is already remote and the environment is chaotic. In addition, it is already late at night, so there are even fewer people hanging out.
"You two young people, you are out shopping so late, why not come here and sit down." A stall owner waved to Ling Jie and smiled.
Ling Jie glanced at the boss. He was young, probably in his twenties or early thirties. He was over 1.6 meters tall and relatively thin, but his smile was very amiable and made people feel friendly. Ling Jie Jie didn't think much and just found a seat near the roadside and sat down.
Xiao Yu has never eaten in such a "shabby" place since she was born. In her heart, she is very repulsive to such "unclean" places. But when she saw Ling Jie sitting down, she naturally couldn't say anything. Ling Jie sat down across from him, but she wiped the stool with toilet paper several times before sitting down.
As soon as Ling Jie Er sat down, the stall owner brought two cups of hot soy milk. The steam was still rising, "This is my specially made soy milk. You can try it. How does it taste? It doesn't include the price." .”
When Ling Jie saw the young man's kind and enthusiastic face, he instinctively said, "Thank you." These two words had not appeared in Ling Jie's dictionary for a long time. Ling Jie took a careful taste, and then He closed his eyes and savored the taste of soy milk carefully. After a long time, he opened his eyes and took another sip in surprise. This time, he took a big sip. He swallowed it bit by bit until it was all swallowed. Finally, a smile appeared on his face, and he praised sincerely, "It's a very special soy milk. When you take a small sip for the first time, you will feel a dry taste, which makes people afraid and worried about drinking it. But if After taking a big sip, the bitter taste disappeared out of thin air and turned into sweetness. It was like a feeling of risking death for another life. Boss, your craftsmanship is really good. This is the most special drink I, Ling Jie, have ever had. of soy milk.”
Xiao Yu also took a small sip just now, but as Ling Jie said, when he drank just a little bit, he felt a lot of bitter taste in the soy milk, which made Xiao Yu not dare to continue drinking, so he stopped. Hearing what Ling Jie said was so suspenseful, he quickly grabbed the cup and took a big sip. After closing his eyes to experience it, he praised, "It's really like this. It's amazing."
The young man smiled lightly and explained, "Brother is right. Drinking this kind of soy milk does have the feeling of putting oneself to death and reviving life. The soy milk I make has a very special name - death and rebirth milk. Most people really can't make it. It smells like this."
"Death and then rebirth?" Ling Jie murmured again, and finally closed his eyes thoughtfully: die and then live, die and then regenerate...
Xiao Yu also knew a little about Ling Jie. He generally didn't like others to disturb him when he was thinking about problems, so he took this opportunity to ask the boss, "What do you call me, brother? How do you make this kind of soy milk?"
The young man smiled and said, "My skin is naturally very dark. Over time, my skin has become almost like the shadow of the sun. Others call me Brother Shadow. Miss, please just call me Shadow. As for how this soy milk is made,
This is my secret, and I can’t tell others casually.”
Seeing the disappointment on Xiao Yu's face, the young man added, "There are no less than ten thousand people asking this question like you. If I tell everyone how to make soy milk, if they all run to make soy milk, it will not be a robbery."
My business."
Xiao Yu couldn't help but be amused by this relaxed and humorous answer. Since everyone declined politely, Xiao Yu was too embarrassed to ask again and changed the subject, "Brother Shadow, your soy milk is made
It's so good, why is the business... still so bleak?"
The young man shook his head, his head full of bitterness, "Soy milk is good, but it's not sweet. Many people don't dare to take the first big sip, so the average customer will only come to my place once and take a small sip before leaving."
Take a second sip, and there won’t be a next time.”
Xiao Yu was thoughtful, feeling the philosophy contained in the young man's simple words, and then thinking about what she had experienced during this period, she fell silent.
Ling Jie thought for a moment and then laughed, "I finally know how Brother Shadow made his death and then life."
The young man's body was shaken with excitement, and he looked at Ling Jie in astonishment. Ling Jie's eyes also flashed with intense light, and their eyes collided in the air. Finally, the two of them laughed at the same time, "Hahahahahahaha
…”
Xiao Yu was confused, but Ling Jie stood up, turned around and walked towards the original road, Xiao Yu followed closely, "Ling Jie, what's wrong with you?"
Ling Jie said, "It's rare to meet a close friend in life." After a pause, he continued, "Yu'er, please leave Jinan City tomorrow and come back in a month or two. Earth-shaking events are about to happen in Jinan City."
Xiao Yu was confused at first, and then shouted out almost without thinking, "I don't, I don't want to leave Jinan."
Ling Jie stopped, turned around, and stared into Xiao Yu's eyes, "It's too dangerous for you to stay here. You also saw what happened yesterday. Your brother and uncle are betraying you, and your closest family members don't care.
You treat me as a relative, there is no place here worthy of your nostalgia. Leaving here for the time being is your best choice."
Xiao Yu bit her lower lip. Your brother and uncle are betraying you. Your closest family members no longer regard you as a human being... There is no place worthy of your nostalgia here...
Xiao Yu couldn't help but shed tears when she thought of these words, "No, there are still many things here that make me miss you, Ling Jie, I can't bear to leave you."
Ling Jie shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You know, it won't be good for you or me if you stay. If you really care about our future, then leave now and come back after I have solved all the problems.
.”
"You want to deal with all the problems alone?" Xiao Yu said in shock, "No, I want to face it with you..."
Ling Jie said deeply, "Don't be stupid, I don't want anything to happen to you, just think of it as helping me. Leave Jinan tomorrow. Believe me, come back in two months, this will be our paradise..."
Xiao Yu suddenly froze and stood there for a long time, choking with sobs before speaking, "What you said...is everything you said true?"
Ling Jie suddenly stretched out a hand and stroked Xiao Yu's face, "Well, trust me, give me all the secrets your father left for you, and I will help you deal with them."
If it had been before, Xiao Yu would never have given these things to Ling Jie, but in the past two days, she had witnessed Ling Jie's many disregard for his own life in order to save her. These actions have deeply impressed her.
In her heart, as a girl, nothing is more important than care and love.
No matter how strong or cold a woman appears on the surface, her heart is actually full of fantasies and yearnings for love.
However, this is my father's life-long entrustment. Before he died, my father had repeatedly warned me not to tell others the secret... Should I just leave it to the man in front of me?
