"Sister, here." From the corner of the bar, Tian Qi stood up and greeted Tian Si.
Tian Si also saw her cousin. She carefully bypassed the bustling crowd and walked over there.
"I haven't seen you in almost a month. Are you also in retreat?" Tian Qi opened the chair where his coat was placed and invited his cousin to sit down. He kept complaining, but in fact the goal of "criticism" was quite subtle.
Tian Si smiled, but before she spoke, Tian Qi noticed the relaxed joy on her face and patted the table: "It seems that there is no problem with Grandma Pan."
"Well, I have received the official notice. Although it is still more than half a year before the official start of school, starting next month, we will follow the project."
"Congratulations, Grandma Pan's postgraduate quota can make people break their heads every year."
"It can only be said that it was a fluke." Tian Si didn't want to say more on this topic. She called the waiter dressed as a witch, "A cup of mocha, thank you."
The waiter recognized Tian Si, and she apologized softly: "Sister Tian, the coffee is sold out..."
"Then a cup of hot cocoa."
The waiter took the order and left. Next to him, Tian Qi quickly claimed the credit: "It's not easy for me to save a seat for you."
Tian Si glanced at the bar corner, which is located in the public activity area on the second underground floor of Beiyan Gear. It is close to the sandbank waterway and faces the lake bottom scenery. It was originally a good place to cultivate body and mind, but now the influx of people makes it more like
A popular attraction.
"Your club had a great theme week."
"You know, it doesn't just rely on theme weeks... This place is almost crowded now. I really miss the days when there were only Ronan and the others, although I haven't been here a few times." Tian Qi sighed, and consciously suppressed it.
He said in a loud voice, "Sister, did you come here to find Ronan? That person is not easy to see now."
"I've made an appointment." This kind of conversation seems like it shouldn't happen between school classmates, but the Tian siblings think it's normal.
"That's good..." Before he finished speaking, Tian Qi suddenly let out an ouch, "Back there, look into the lake."
Tian Si subconsciously turned his head and saw on the side of the public activity area, in the chaotic lake separated by tempered glass, a huge and flat body tilted at a certain angle, passing by silently, attracting the attention of everyone in the bar.
There is no light source at the bottom of the lake, only the lighting from the public activity area is projected into the lake. It is under this light that the monster fish, like a giant bat, shows off to the "tourists" here, its several-year-long
It has a wingspan of more than twenty meters and a pale lower abdomen lined with ferocious mouthparts.
Especially when the demon fish turns around, the "thin tail" of its scales, which is more than ten meters long, hits the reinforced glass. The heavy impact makes the entire glass screen wall seem to tremble. It also has its own electric fire on it. Every time it jumps
The flashes are like burning in the hearts of all the spectators.
Many men and women screamed in fear and excitement.
Tian Si stared blankly at this scene. Even though she had been mentally prepared in advance, seeing this monster fish, the terrifying situation two months ago seemed to reappear, making her shiver unconsciously and her cheeks almost lost the color.
In comparison, Tian Qi had seen a lot, and he didn’t know what his cousin had experienced in Haitian Yundu. He breathed out a sigh of satisfaction: “It’s different from what he saw in Haitian Yundu, isn’t it?
, it seems that it can break through the glass and come in at any time! In fact, I think no theme week can compare with this thing spinning around... Uh, sister, are you okay?"
Tian Siru woke up from the dream, but couldn't turn around to let his cousin see his current expression, so he had to say something else randomly: "Is this manta fish the one from Haitian Yundu?"
"Yes, that's it."
"He's grown a lot."
"Who says otherwise? I heard that the wingspan has increased by nearly one-third compared to when it was first captured, and the growth is almost concentrated in the past two months. It must be that the sea, sky, and water are well fed and fattened.
Already."
The manta ray showed off its power behind the tempered glass, and then turned and entered the depths of the lake beyond the reach of people's eyes. It left people everywhere in admiration.
But no one here knew that one of them had had very close contact with this deformed person - the one who was almost eaten.
Tian Si then turned around and subconsciously picked up the hot drink on the table. Only then did she realize that her hands had become cold and her legs were even trembling. But at the same time, her heart felt hot, and then there was a blush on it.
Face.
This was also a mixture of fear and excitement - her mood was not any more special than the others present, it was just more profound due to memories, or perhaps sublimated due to expectations.
Last time in Haitianyundu, this fierce monster wrapped its electric tail around her legs and could tear her into pieces in the next second; but it was also after that incident that she really got a glimpse of today's world.
The scene behind the dark curtain touches the magical corner of the "other world".
She sipped the hot cocoa to calm herself down, and then asked: "This deformed head should be very dangerous, why did it move here?"
"It is said that the family that kept the manta ray in Haitian Yundu couldn't afford the rental fee and breeding fee, so they sold it at a price. The buyer was someone in our society, but I didn't know who was enough.
I willfully moved this monster over and used it as an ornamental fish."
"you do not know……"
"What?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little bit curious about who made such a big deal and put a mutant in the jungle on the north coast. Professor Wu and the others hate this the most."
"You mean Professor Pan's husband? Haha, he is probably going crazy. It is said that he also took advantage of the opportunity of his long trip to kill him first and then show off. It's hard to say whether he can stay here for a long time in the end."
Tian Qi was very open-minded: "I think it's probably temporary. It just happened to be a gimmick for the theme week. Speaking of which, Vice President Ou's Eleusis Mysteries recurring program has collapsed. I heard it was still Ronan.
Stop it, now that the manta rays are here, no one who has eaten the courage of a bear’s heart or a leopard will have the courage to go to the lake and make trouble again. From this point of view... you know."
"Yes, we all understand." Long slender fingers gently placed on Tian Qi's shoulders, like jade tubes, but with the pressure of steel pipes.
Tian Qi was startled, and he reflexively wanted to get up, but was unable to move due to the pressure. On the opposite side, Tian Si got up and greeted the mature and sexy woman behind him: "Hello, Ms. Cat Eyes."
"You're welcome, I'm just an errand boy, responsible for conveying the reception." Maoyan naturally pulled Tian Qi out of his seat, using such willful manipulation to indicate to the young man what he should do.
Tian Qi had more or less "awareness" of this person, so he didn't say much. He winked at Tian Si, shrank behind the crowd, and soon disappeared.
Maoyan is a famous nightclub queen in Xia City. She likes to join in the fun, but she hates the bustling environment here because it brings unnecessary workload to her. So she made a long story short: "Luo Nanzheng and Gao Meng, paper cutting, oh
, the latter one you know, they are discussing some technical issues and forgot the time. If you are willing to wait, I can take you to the sixth underground floor to rest for a while. "
"Ah, actually I just want to send an invitation to an elder."
"elder?"
"It's my mentor, Professor Pan Wenpan, she..."
"I know, is Ronan's mother's mentor? You will be his aunt from now on."
"That's not the case." Facing Maoyan, Tian Si was still a little cautious and not comfortable chatting and joking with her.
"Okay, I understand, you come with me."
"Won't it disturb him?" Tian Si was still a little worried.
"You agreed to wait, why bother?" Maoyan stood up with a smile, led Tian Si around the flow of people, walked slowly down the fire escape, and explained smoothly: "There are too many people waiting now. For the sake of cleanliness, the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors
It has been closed to the outside world, and it is not convenient to get in and out. It is not easy to find an elevator or something, so we will take the stairs down. We have to go to the fifth underground floor for permission review, which will inevitably be more troublesome, so you have to be prepared."
Tian Si responded and took a breath subconsciously. She didn't feel troubled, but rather had a sense of expectation.
The two ladies walked down one level in this way. Once they passed the two floors, the noise in the public activity area was almost blocked, and only the rhythmic footsteps in the stairwell could be heard one after another.
Tian Si adjusted her breathing slightly and thought about what she would say when she met Ronan. In fact, she had already done these dialogue deductions many times in advance, but at this moment, she was still nervous and even anxious.
With such a mentality, Tian Si also sighed to himself: If the heart desires something, it must be feared. Perhaps this can be regarded as a kind of "power makes the mind faint"?
At this moment, Maoyan's voice came in: "Want to join our circle?"
Tian Si's inner thoughts were revealed in one sentence. He shuddered subconsciously and looked up.
Maoyan raised his eyebrows: "Why are you nervous? It's not like falling into a trap. If you want to do it, just say so. Do you want to become a capable person?"
The corner of Tian Si's mouth also moved, and he laughed at himself: "I think everyone can see my thoughts?"
"Who was the last person you saw? Ronan?"
"It's Mr. Paper Cutting."
"Oh." Maoyan suddenly realized that even though she was not involved in some things, she still had relevant information. "You have dealt with him twice. That's right. Things like Haitian Yundu will definitely have an impact on you.
, if you can bear it for so long before saying it, you must have given it serious thought?"
Actually I didn't say...
Tian Si didn't dare to say this, so he could only nod.
"Zhijian is a relatively stable person. He didn't encourage you blindly at that time."
Tian Si shook his head immediately. Not to mention that time in Haitian Yundu, she was so frightened that her memory was a little confused. The deep ones were very profound, and the blurry ones were very blurry. However, the memory of the friendship in Aurora Yundu was clear throughout.
I remember that she once plucked up the courage to ask about paper-cutting, but the person must have deliberately avoided the topic.
Maoyan said "ha": "You are quite responsible and have a clear mind. You know that this is a field that values talent the most."
"talent?"
"That's right. Talent means that some people may never truly touch the ground in this field in their lifetime - it's not that they don't work hard, it's just that they don't have the talent, and correspondingly, they don't have the life!"
