"You haven't slept yet?" Seeing Zheng Yubai staring at her with wide eyes, Xu Jin gently stuck out her tongue, looking particularly cute. She was holding a fruit plate with cut oranges and apples on it.
"Not yet. I can't sleep." Zheng Yubai sat up and asked Xu Jin to sit down.
"Eat some fruit. You always eat out, and the food in restaurants is not nutritious enough." Xu Jin gently took a piece of apple and handed it to Zheng Yubai with a toothpick.
When I put the apple into my mouth, I felt a sweet feeling in my heart. I don’t know if it was because the apple was sweet to begin with, or if it was even sweeter because of Xu Jin’s smile beside me.
"Are you worried about something?" Xu Jin was very smart. Seeing that Zheng Yubai seemed to be worried, she asked.
"Well, there are indeed some things that I can't figure out." Zheng Yubai didn't mind sharing his troubles with Xu Jin. In fact, somewhere in his heart, Xu Jin had already firmly occupied a position and was inseparable from Zheng Yubai's life.
"Tell me about it." Xu Jin sat next to Zheng Yubai, leaning on his shoulder like a child, feeding him fruit while listening to Zheng Yubai telling him about what had happened recently.
After Zheng Yubai finished speaking, Xu Jin said softly: "You are worried about this. In fact, this is a very simple matter."
"Is it that simple? It seems my emotional intelligence is too low." Zheng Yubai said self-deprecatingly. In fact, he also knew that he had many flaws in his character. For example, he was unwilling to take the lead in many things. Most of the time, he was pushed to the forefront of life and lived a life drifting with the tide.
"You don't have low emotional intelligence, you are just too kind and always think about others." Xu Jin said with a smile.
"Really?" Zheng Yubai laughed and scratched his head, thinking that what Xu Jin said made sense. Whenever he encountered something, he always thought about whether it was right, but never thought about what would benefit him.
"But it's because you're kind that so many people like you." Xu Jin said faintly, "If one day you only care about yourself, you will no longer be the Zheng Yubai who is a little silly and dull, but very cute."
"I'm actually quite cute..." It was the first time Zheng Yubai heard such a compliment and he smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, your problem now is very simple."
"Then how do you do it? Teach me." Zheng Yubai said expectantly.
"Then we need to ask your true heart." Xu Jin said, "Everyone should have a goal in life. What is your goal?"
"I... I don't know either." Zheng Yubai scratched his head. Just like his passive personality, he really didn't have any special goals in life.
"In fact, life is a process of upward striving, and the goal is just a light guiding the way. No matter what your goal is, or even if you have one, you must always know how to spend your life." When Xu Jin talked freely, she regained her mature nature. Compared with the gentleness and virtuousness in front of Zheng Yubai, she had a unique style.
Zheng Yubai looked at Xu Jin's serious expression and said with a smile: "You are really cute now."
Xu Jin's face flushed immediately. She thought to herself, this guy is usually dull and can't say a single gentle and considerate word, why is his mouth so sweet today? Her heart began to pound, and her speech became incoherent.
Realizing that Xu Jin was somewhat confused by his words, Zheng Yubai quickly brought the topic back on track: "What you mean is that it is not important whether or not there is a goal to strive for, or what kind of goal one has, but what is really important is the process of striving?"
Xu Jin nodded firmly and said, "That's what I mean. We are born in this world, and sooner or later we will die. Our lives may be erased, but the things we did when we were alive will never be erased. No matter if anyone cares or remembers, they once existed. It's like a bird flying in the sky, the trace is not in the sky, but in our hearts."
Zheng Yubai was quite moved when he heard Xu Jin's poetic metaphor.
Xu Jin added: "There are many people who can only live a mediocre life. If they want to pursue an exciting life, they can only look for it in the world of fantasy. You have abilities that ordinary people don't have, enough to create your own legend. This is a gift from God, but also a responsibility. Whether to maximize this talent or hide it, the decision lies in your heart."
"Jin'er, what you said makes sense." Zheng Yubai suddenly felt that these words could be said to all the aliens. Although people like Bianjie are always affected by the side effects of superpowers and cannot live like normal people, this kind of suffering is also a kind of responsibility.
Mencius, the second sage, once said something that people have used too much: When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it must first make his mind and will suffer, his muscles and bones tired, his body hungry and empty, and his actions frustrated, so that he can be moved and hardened, and improve his ability to do what he could not do before. Although this saying is old-fashioned and empty, it is absolutely an irrefutable truth. When Zheng Yubai thought of this, he felt that everything he had encountered before was just a test for his growth in life. His horizons suddenly became clear, and his view of the world had a new realm because of Xu Jin's reminder and the wisdom of his predecessors.
"I know what to do. In fact, there is no such thing as a road in the world. It is only when more people walk on it that a road appears. As long as my steps are not crooked, I can reach the destination no matter what road I walk on." Zheng Yubai said.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "You are right. This is the principle of different paths leading to the same destination."
"Thank you so much for clearing up my confusion." Zheng Yubai said gratefully.
"Why are you still telling me this?" Xu Jin said a little emotionally, burying her head deeply in Zheng Yubai's chest.
Zheng Yubai hesitated for a moment, then gently raised his hand and held Xu Jin in his arms.
"Yu Bai..." Xu Jin murmured softly.
"Hmm..." Zheng Yubai's voice trembled a little. Holding a beautiful woman in his arms, he was as nervous as if he was fighting with his father for the first time.
"I... I like you." Xu Jin's voice was thin and soft, but it penetrated Zheng Yubai's ears clearly and went straight to his heart.
"I like you, too." Xu Jin had already confessed her feelings. If Zheng Yubai didn't say something at this time, how would she live
Xu Jin hesitated for a moment, and finally raised her head and closed her eyes. Her fair face was in front of Zheng Yubai, like a beautiful flower, ready to be picked.
Zheng Yubai hesitated for a moment, and finally moved his lips forward clumsily. Xu Jin's breath was as sweet as orchid, and he was trembling with nervousness.
The two lips finally touched lightly, and both of their bodies trembled. Zheng Yubai retracted his head like lightning, and came back a moment later. This time it was no longer just a light touch, their lips were tightly stuck together, sucking each other. Unfortunately, they were both inexperienced laymen, and it took more than ten minutes before they knew how to open their mouths and touch each other lightly with their tongues.
After a long French kiss, even Zheng Yubai, who had a long breath, couldn't help but take two deep breaths to sober up. Having just experienced the wonderful taste of kissing, the two of them were like children stealing candy, enjoying it endlessly. They rested for a while and then stuck together again.
Apart from kissing, the two seemed to be quite polite and did not take any further hot actions. It was not that Zheng Yubai was a gentleman and did not want to continue, but he knew too little. Apart from rubbing their bodies together during the hug, he had no other intentions. As a woman, Xu Jin knew a lot, but she could not take the initiative to say anything. Fortunately, she felt that Zheng Yubai's thick chest and flexible tongue were enough to ecstasy her. For a moment, her soul flew away and she could not care about anything else.
They were so affectionate and passionate that the whole room was filled with spring. They kissed for two or three hours, and it was late at night, but they didn't feel sleepy at all.
"Huh... So this is what it feels like." After another long kiss, Zheng Yubai said with an unsatisfied look.
Xu Jin shrank into his arms like a limp, and asked softly, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Zheng Yubai scratched his head like a child, "This feeling is love. If love is so sweet, it is worth my struggle."
"Hmph, they're all yours, so how can you still struggle?" Xu Jin said "unhappily", and playfully reached his hand under Zheng Yubai's armpit to tickle him.
Zheng Yubai chuckled, grabbed Xu Jin's hand, turned over and pressed her under him again, put his lips close to Xu Jin's ear, and the hot breath he exhaled almost melted Xu Jin.
"Hmm..." Xu Jin couldn't help but feel the strange feeling coming from her earlobe. She felt as if her whole body was numb and she couldn't muster any strength at all.
"Having you is enough for me." Zheng Yubai certainly didn't know that for some women, the ears are a very important erogenous zone. He spoke word by word, and the hot air from each word made Xu Jin's body tremble violently.
"What about Ding Beibei and the others?" Although Xu Jin was distracted and infatuated, she still remembered her "rivals in love".
Hearing Xu Jin's question, Zheng Yubai was a little hesitant, but he still said: "I will come up with a suitable solution."
"I hope so..." Looking at the beloved man in front of him, Xu Jin felt happy. Why do so many people like this silly boy? But being liked by so many people, doesn't it mean that I have found a treasure
It's really hard to guess what a girl is thinking. Xu Jin's mood fluctuated, and soon she was immersed in the sweet love with Zheng Yubai again, and fell into his slightly rough kiss, unable to extricate herself.
The next morning, the sunlight shone warmly on Zheng Yubai's face through the gaps in the curtains. When he woke up in a daze, Xu Jin, who had fallen asleep in his arms last night, had quietly disappeared.
Zheng Yubai knew that Xu Jin was still a little embarrassed, afraid of being seen by others. He smiled, then got up, and while washing up, he thought about the beauty of last night, his heart filled with joy.
Having a goal or not has a huge impact on life, and having love or not is even more important to a person's state of mind. After experiencing one night, Zheng Yubai's understanding of life has reached a new level. This is crucial for his future practice of martial arts and super powers. And in terms of life choices, he also has a clear answer.
As the manager of a safe apartment, he can do many things that ordinary people cannot do. Since he has the ability given by God, why not make good use of it. A knife is a murder weapon in the hands of a murderer, but a tool for making delicious food in the hands of a chef. Zheng Yubai is confident that he can control his own destiny.
Xu Jin had already prepared breakfast. During the meal, their eyes met from time to time, with a code that only they could understand. Yu Luo, the ghostly elf, discovered something sensitively. There was curiosity in her eyes, but also a little sadness. Fortunately, the girl was only thinking about the computer company that was about to open recently, and she used the pursuit of career to wash away her secret love for Zheng Yubai.
After dinner, Zheng Yubai said goodbye to everyone, and looked into Xu Jin's eyes for a while before going out to the safe apartment. The company wanted to give him a car in the next two days, but they couldn't find a suitable driver for the time being, so it would take a few days. Zheng Yubai was not a particular person, so he went straight to the bus station and planned to take the bus.
"Look at this magazine. It says that someone is behind the nude photo incident of Chen Guchuan." Zheng Yubai was resting his eyes in the car when he heard this. He opened his eyes slightly and saw two young men flipping through an entertainment magazine. The cover of the magazine was Chen Guchuan and a well-known female star.
"Yes, that's true. There are people who are so shameless as to rely on nude photos to control female stars." A young man seemed very indignant.
"I didn't expect the Hong Kong entertainment industry to be so dirty. It seems that what they say online about the underworld controlling the entertainment industry is true." Another young man sighed.
After getting off the car, Zheng Yubai was still thinking about the conversation between the two young men in the car. The Hong Kong entertainment industry has been greatly negatively affected by Chen Guchuan's nude photos. If Cao Ji said, this was a fight between the Skull and Bones Society and the Yan Dao Tang's subordinate organizations to redistribute the interests of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. However, the price paid for this fight was too high, and both sides were killing the goose to get the eggs. The person who won in the end just took over a notorious circle. Since the fans' hearts have been broken, what changes can be made in the future
The station was still some distance away from the manor. Zheng Yubai walked slowly and soon arrived at the manor. In fact, with Sang Biao and Jin Yanhui managing the manor, everything here was still running on the original track. If Zheng Yubai wanted, he didn't have to come here every day. However, he still dutifully inspected the area and then came to Building No. 1.
Chen Guchuan was playing video games alone. When Zheng Yubai walked in, he was controlling a character to fight a decisive battle with the boss in the game.
After a wrong move, Chen Guchuan's character died. Looking at the big words "GAME OVER" on the screen, Chen Guchuan sighed: "My game is about to end."
"Why do you say that?" Zheng Yubai asked.
Chen Guchuan sneered: "The two major forces are about to show their cards. I still have a little value. Once I am squeezed dry, do you think anyone will be willing to pay a large sum of money to support me? If no one pays me, I will be chopped into pieces as soon as I walk out of here."
"You're right. Kong Fang left the apartment today, reportedly to return the Three-Foot Sword. Was this your idea?" Zheng Yubai asked, thinking of Jin Yanhui's report.
"We are in the same boat. If he hadn't died, maybe I would still have a chance to join him." Chen Guchuan said.
"What if you have the ability to save your own destiny?" Zheng Yubai asked.
"How can I change it?" Chen Guchuan said with a wry smile, "I'm not the Superman in the game. Not to mention the final BOSS, even the small minions can kill me."
Although he had no good feelings towards Chen Guchuan, seeing that he would probably have to spend his whole life in endless hiding, Zheng Yubai still felt a little sorry for him. There must be something hateful about pitiful people. He had done so many evil things, and this was the so-called retribution.
"Administrator, please play a game of video games with me." Chen Guchuan said, looking up.
"I don't know how to play." Zheng Yubai waved his hand.
"Don't you know that I will be sent back to Hong Kong next week? By then, I will never have the chance to play video games again." Chen Guchuan said with a slightly tearful voice.
"What's going on?" Zheng Yubai was stunned.
"The nude photo scandal has caused both major forces to lose a lot of reputation and money. They are going to launch a final fight. Yan Dao Tang wants to send me back to Hong Kong to announce the truth of the incident. How could the Skull and Bones Society let me go? They will definitely kill me on the way." Chen Guchuan said in a low voice, "Even if I can survive and tell everything, I will lose my usefulness. In short, I'm dead."
Zheng Yubai knew that what he said was right. Chen Guchuan was now a chess piece in the battle between the two major forces for the Hong Kong entertainment industry and even the Asian entertainment industry. In order to survive, he had to work for Yan Dao Tang, but even if he did a good job, he could not escape the fate of being cooked after the rabbit died. He was really like a pawn in chess, desperately rushing across the river, killing all the way to the end, and there was no way back.
"Oh, there's one more thing I want to tell you." Chen Guchuan suddenly raised his lips, "I asked Yan Daotang that unless you send me back to Hong Kong, I would rather commit suicide than go back."
"Me?" Zheng Yubai was stunned. The little bit of pity he had for Chen Guchuan suddenly turned into anger. He knew that Chen Guchuan was using him. He was struggling to survive, and if he could protect himself, he would have a better chance of survival.
"I've already said that I want to join you. Since you don't agree, I have no choice but to drag you into this." Chen Guchuan smiled, and the sadness on his face just now disappeared. "If I get killed halfway, you will probably be implicated, so think about how to protect me."
Seeing this guy who was not afraid of boiling water, Zheng Yubai was really helpless. He was obviously a villain, what could he do to him. If the boss really wanted to escort him to Hong Kong himself, it was a task that could not be refused. But for such a person, it would be better for the world if he died earlier, right
The next day, the order came from above. In view of the difficulty of this mission, coupled with Chen Guchuan's special request, Zheng Yubai was naturally the best choice to escort him to Hong Kong. Sang Biao and three of the most outstanding members of the D-level apartment, Liu Meng, Sun Xuyang and Zhu Wu, went to Hong Kong with Zheng Yubai as his assistants. The departure date was set for the following Monday, and the destination was Tianhe Film Company, Block A, 46 Kwun Tong Road, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong.
"Hong Kong? Bring me some cosmetics!" Yu Luo, unaware of the danger involved, jumped up when she heard that Zheng Yubai was going to Hong Kong. She immediately found a piece of paper and wrote down the names of the cosmetics she wanted on it.
"How long will you be gone?" Compared with Yu Luo, Xu Jin was just like a little wife, and asked Zheng Yubai softly.
"It will probably only take a few days." Zheng Yubai scratched his head. He didn't know how long this trip would take. It was said that after escorting Chen Guchuan to the place, they would have to protect him for a few days until he appeared publicly on TV and aimed his guns at several entertainment companies controlled by the Skull and Bones Society. Only then would the mission be considered complete.
Zheng Yubai did not tell Xu Jin about the mission he was going to perform this time, otherwise she would definitely be scared and even not let Zheng Yubai go. The previous adventures were all Zheng Yubai's personal behavior. Except for the time when he protected Qi Ye on the airport highway, this was the first time that Zheng Yubai performed a major mission for the company. Although the opponent was the Skull and Bones Society, which was rumored to have influence all over the world and was extremely powerful, Zheng Yubai was also confident that he would complete the mission.
"In any case, you must be careful and come back early." If Yu Luo was not beside her, writing the name of the cosmetics, Xu Jin would have thrown herself into Zheng Yubai's arms and kissed him passionately. However, there were still several days before Zheng Yubai left. Was he still afraid that there would be no chance
A few days later, at five in the morning on Monday, Zheng Yubai gently kissed Xu Jin on the forehead while he was still sleeping, and quietly left home.
After waiting for a while at the intersection leading to the airport, an SUV drove over and stopped next to Zheng Yubai.
After getting on the bus, except for the driver, everyone on the bus was on their way to Hong Kong. Liu Meng, Sun Xuyang and Zhu Wu were all young and strong men. In addition to being good at martial arts, they were especially good at using guns. This mission was not a movie about a lone hero, nor was it a martial arts movie by Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan. The opponent was the Skull and Bones Society, which would do anything to achieve its goal. If they expected a one-on-one fight or a fist-and-foot duel, that was simply the idea of a kindergarten kid.
Arrived at the airport, boarded the plane smoothly. There should be no problem from Jinghai to Hong Kong Airport. The real danger is after getting off the plane in Hong Kong. The straight-line distance from Hong Kong Airport to the destination is not far, and there are people from Yandaotang to protect and support. But whether you can make it through that not-so-far distance and reach the destination alive, no one can guarantee.
Chen Guchuan looked at the clouds outside the window nervously, contrary to his usual demeanor.
Zheng Yubai didn't have time to care about his reaction, and closed his eyes to rest. Once he got off the plane, he would be in a dangerous situation, so he had to maintain a good mental and physical state.
After a good sleep, when I opened my eyes again, I looked out of the plane window and saw Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, already in sight. (To be continued)
