Zhuang Fengyu leaned against the car window, resting her chin on her hands. The road outside the window was empty. The dim street lights were trees, cars, and the asphalt road was painted with an old and blurry texture. Looking through the car window, it looked like a picture.
Yellowed old photos.
In a trance, she had an illusion that the world had become very far away, and time became so slow. It seemed that only herself and the master who was smiling awkwardly in the whole world were left.
Zhuang Fengyu doesn't like being deserted, let alone being alone. What she likes is the liveliness and bustle like burning oil, but she doesn't hate this feeling now.
A leaf fell leisurely from the branch and swirled precariously in the air. Zhuang Fengyu looked at the leaf as if watching an old movie. She heard her master's angry sneer, so she also smiled and lengthened her voice.
He said slowly:
"Yeah, should I say it's good luck? Or bad luck? I didn't expect to meet them at the cocktail party."
"Feng Yuzi, don't blame me for being verbose." Nan Huazi said seriously: "Judging from the situation at the time, they probably weren't going for you. You can definitely get away if you want to. Why take the risk?
Provoke them? You should leave as soon as you spot them."
"I want to leave too, master." Zhuang Fengyu shouted, "I was focused on monitoring that Nair, and by the time I found them, it was already too late to leave."
Nan Huazi looked at Zhuang Fengyu doubtfully.
"Master, don't look at me with such a strange expression." Zhuang Fengyu smiled and approached Nan Huazi, stretched out two fingers to lift the corners of his mouth.
"Nothing big or small." Nan Huazi waved his hand and brushed Zhuang Fengyu's fingers away. "If you are really in desperate situation, I will not save you. Don't forget our agreement."
"I know master. I will be careful. If it were anyone else, I would have left long ago, but those two guys, ha, I have dealt with them. How should I say, they are very strong, very
Cunning, but inexplicably naive, even if they really catch me, they won't do anything to me." Zhuang Fengyu said forcefully.
"You are the one who is so naive, how can you place your own safety on the enemy?" Nan Huazi said and sighed, "That's all, you won't listen to me. If you continue to talk, you will despise me as a verbose teacher.
"
"No, I just like to listen to your chatter, master."
"Stop talking about this, why do you think they went to that cocktail party?" Nan Huazi asked.
"Probably they are looking for trouble with that underground religion. Maybe the people from that religion just happened to offend them, or maybe, if it is them, they just can't stand this kind of brainwashing method because of their naive sense of justice.
It’s a means of faith.”
Nan Huazi shook his head, "I really don't understand their thoughts. But since they are also involved, our original plan will have to be significantly adjusted. It has been a bad year recently."
"Hey..." Nan Huazi couldn't help but feel a little depressed as he said, "I remember that I, Nan Huazi, was full of ambition and pride, and all I thought about was how to guide the future of human beings and spirits. I didn't expect that I would have to fall into this predicament now.
, they are just plotting these things."
"master……"
"That's all, what happened back then is a thing of the past, what's the use of thinking about it, it will only increase your worries." Nan Huazi turned to look at the university campus aside, a light flashed in his eyes, "It's not the first time to start from the beginning.
Take your time."
On the table, there was a carefully prepared incense stick inserted in the small red copper incense burner. The agarwood curled up and the lingering fragrance was sweet. Cai Xunru sat on the rosewood chair beside the table and stared at the faint smoke in front of him without saying a word.
Che Baiyuan sat on the other side of the table, facing Cai Xunru. He was still wearing a black gown, with a resolute face, sharp eyes, and a domineering air in his movements. But at this time, he was the same as before when he served Cai Xunru.
As always, restrain your temper and sit quietly.
Silence was like water, filling the whole room heavily. The two people faced each other and were in a stalemate. The atmosphere was solemn and dangerous.
A restrained knock on the door suddenly broke the silence in the room. Cha Baiyuan waved his hand, and the door opened naturally. Three waiters respectfully presented plates of freshly baked exquisite snacks. They divided the snacks into categories.
The table was carefully arranged, then he bowed slightly and quietly left.
"Mr. Cai, let's eat some together. They are all your favorite flavors. I specially asked Master Zhang to make them overnight."
Cai Xunru picked up a honey-glazed barbecued pork bun, looked at it, and put it down gently. He smiled and said: "Bai Yuan, how long has it been since we had snacks together? I used to treat you to it, but now it's you.
Invite me?"
Che Baiyuan looked straight at Cai Xunru without saying a word.
Cai Xunru put down his chopsticks and said, "It's hard for Master Zhang to ask you to cook this table so late. The craftsmanship is still as good, the outer skin is soft, and the barbecued pork inside, well, you don't have to eat it to know that it's very fresh and sweet."
Not many people can make honey-glazed pork buns like this. However, it’s still not good after all, do you know why?”
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Cai."
Cai Xunru laughed loudly, "This is a snack for morning tea. It's late at night now. The time is wrong, and the taste will be bad no matter how good it is. Bai Yuan, Bai Yuan, you should invite a late night snack over."
"Mr. Cai, I don't understand this, and I don't dare to do anything in front of you. Regardless of this table of dim sum, or everything I said before, my meaning is the same. I don't mean any disrespect to you, but
, you must give me an explanation. What exactly happened that night? If you didn’t betray the old man, why didn’t you tell me? "
"Bai Yuan, it seems that since the old man is away, you have become a lot more courageous. When will it be your turn to inquire about her old man's affairs?" Cai Xunru was as majestic as ever.
"Yes, I was rude and overstepped. When I see the old man in the future, I will naturally plead guilty to him and kill him or behead him without saying a word. The current situation is special, and I can only do extraordinary things. She is an old man.
Now your whereabouts are unknown, and you, Mr. Cai, have clearly given away all your belongings in Zhulin to others, and the old man personally ordered me to monitor you, Mr. Cai, that day. If you can't give me an explanation, how can you expect me to believe it?"
"I've said it several times. Everything I did was for the old man. The reason why I won't tell you the whole story is because it involves confidentiality. Hey, Bai Yuan, what do you want?"
"What do I want? The old man is kind to me. With his strength, I don't believe anything will happen to him, so before he comes back, I must at least help him keep his belongings."
