"The Midnight Zone is just the beginning."
Zhou Ming's gentle voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.
Lin Huai turned around.
A man in a black coat stood behind them. When he saw Chen Shu, the man smiled: "This is just the beginning of our business model."
"We have registered the trademarks of 'Midnight District' and 'Midnight Paradise'. With the success of the 'Midnight District' business model, in the next year, starting from city s, cities b, h, z, n , C City in the southwest... The planning and promotion of the Midnight Zone in the southwest area are also gradually launched online. The past amusement park model is outdated, and our model will rise. The wave of the times belongs only to those who are brave enough to discover opportunities. And we will be the pioneers to push all this forward.”
Zhou Ming hugged Chen Shu with a smile, and said affectionately: "And you will be my biggest hero."
"You... so many people, you, you, no, don't do this."
Chen Shu stammered, and pushed him away in dissatisfaction. However, in his eyes, there is also the joy that his dream can be realized.
Lin Huai looked at the two people who were laughing, and for some reason, there was a faint chill behind her back.
He didn't understand the source of his inexplicable vigilance. Looking at the midnight area that was about to take shape, he had a vague feeling that he seemed to have glimpsed something.
The man in gray stood behind Zhou Ming. He kept staring at Lin Huai, frowning slightly as if he couldn't figure out something.
... the breath of this person. Lin Huai gave him a raised eyebrow smile.
"I forgot to introduce you." Zhou Ming said, "This is Cheng Yubao. You should all have heard of it. Cheng Yu'an's younger brother."
"Hi there."
Cheng Yubao behaved very normally, he greeted him politely, and couldn't find anything wrong. As the saying goes, you don't reach out to hit a smiling face, Lin Huai took the initiative to reach out to him: "Hello."
The two held hands, Lin Huai's body temperature was a little low, but the palms were warm and soft. He could feel Cheng Yubao's thumb sliding across his wrist, as if testing his pulse.
Lin Huai's smile deepened.
He retracted his hand as usual.
Under Chu Tianshu's strict supervision in the name of "extending the lifespan of the body", Lin Huai has not used his ghost ability in reality for a long time. Don't say it's frightening to take off his head, he has never even used his ability to repair the injured part of his body.
—Of course, this doesn't rule out the fact that he likes Chu Tianshu personally administering medicine to himself, and obtains pleasure from it.
All in all, under this strategy, the current him has already integrated quite well with this body. From warm body temperature, to soft skin, naturally moving muscles... Even the most professional celestial master cannot discover his ghostly essence without spending a long time with him.
What's more, Cheng Yubao is only in his twenties.
Cheng Yubao seemed a little puzzled, he looked down at his palm and remained silent.
The grip just now didn't seem to dispel his doubts.
"Yubao has always been very interested in our haunted house area. If I'm free this afternoon, I made a special trip to take a look." Zhou Ming explained, "I'll take him around, and it happens that everyone is here, so we can have dinner together tonight?"
Chen Shu nodded.
Zhou Cheng and the two walked away, Chen Shu turned his head, and said to Lin Huai with some seriousness: "I, I feel, just now, there is something wrong with that person just now."
Lin Huai:
Chen Shu: "He, he has been staring at you, well, he seems to be very, very interested in you. And, I saw him just now, and touched, touched your wrist with my thumb."
Lin Huai:? You mean the thing about him feeling my pulse
… Grass.
Lin Huai soon realized that Chen Shu's thinking was wrong. He squinted his eyes, listened to Chen Shu's words, and said extremely slowly: "He looks like a dog, but he is so frivolous. It's the first time you two met, and he's going to touch you and take advantage of you. Pooh! "
"That..." Lin Huai pretended to be a well-behaved college student, "Maybe there is a misunderstanding? Actually, I think he..."
"What kind of misunderstanding, bah!" Chen Shu said indignantly, "I've seen this kind of pretentious people a lot, relying on their own family's money, they do things to other people..."
He talked for a while, and then worried about Lin Huai: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I heard that some dubious people like to drink alcohol to college students at banquets. When they get drunk, they will go Taking people away under the pretext of giving them away, I have seen this kind of routine a lot... "
Lin Huai: "... No, why are you so proficient. In fact, I feel that he..."
Chen Shu hated iron but said: "Oh, you are too simple!"
The innocent Lin Huai touched his nose, not wanting to speak.
"...Let me tell you, I've seen too many old men's routines of picking up college students." Until an hour later, Chen Shu was still popularizing science, "For example, some people claim to be able to tell fortunes, so let people show their hands." Look at palm reading. The little boy didn’t understand, so he stretched out his hand. Those people talk about reading palm reading, but they just took the opportunity to touch your hand and take advantage of it!”
He spoke dryly and took another sip of Coke. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the voices of Zhou Ming's return came from outside the office.
Only then did Chen Shu calm down.
The four of them took Zhou Ming's car together and went to a private restaurant. Zhou Ming drove, Chen Shu sat in the co-pilot, Lin Huai and Cheng Yubao sat in the back seat. On the way, Zhou Ming casually talked about Cheng Yubao's career. Cheng Yubao shook his head and smiled helplessly: "Family business, alas."
"Tianshi?" Lin Huai said politely, "What do you Tianshi usually do?"
"Help people learn Fengshui, catch a ghost, watch the stars at night, tell a fortune... and so on." Cheng Yubao was very personable.
"Fortune telling?" Zhou Ming became interested, "How to tell fortune?"
"Set the astrolabe, or... read the palmistry." Cheng Yubao replied generously.
He smiled: "Everyone has their own palmistry, which is born with palmistry. Through a person's palmistry, one can see the person's character, life and destiny."
"So mysterious?" Zhou Ming thought it was a bit interesting, "Hey, get out of the car later and help me see how I can make a fortune in the past few years?"
"Okay." Cheng Yubao followed suit. Then, he turned to Lin Huai: "Would you like to take a look for you?"
Lin Huai: ...
Feelings are here waiting for him.
He guessed that Cheng Yubao might have gotten some information from Cheng Yu'an, or maybe he had noticed something wrong with his performance, so he made up his mind to test him through his palmistry. If he thought about it badly, he might have begun to suspect that Lin Huai was not the original owner of this body.
He lowered his eyelashes, thinking about how to refuse. Chen Shu in the co-pilot let out a sneer.
"It's the 21st century, and you still engage in these superstitious things." Chen Shu sneered, "Bah, are you playing hooligans?"
Cheng Yubao: …
Lin Huai: ...
Through the rearview mirror, he could see Chen Shu rolling his eyes. Chen Shu folded his hands, and seemed to be more and more sure of his conjecture.
Cheng Yubao withdrew his hand embarrassingly. With such an assist, Lin Huai also possessed a playful spirit. He turned to Cheng Yubao and said, "Does the study of astrology mean the study of constellations?"
Cheng Yubao: "In a sense, right. Besides, there is also the connection between astrology."
Lin Huai was thoughtful: "Oh..."
The best way to defeat a person is to launch an offense and go off topic. Lin Huai thought for a while and asked: "So your daily life is to study the topic of speed dating between Aquarius and Cancer? For example, Chen Shu and me, can you see it?"
Cheng Yubao: "Huh?"
Lin Huai: "By the way, can you tell the degree of speed dating by looking at your face? I would like to call you an emotional blogger."
Along the way, Lin Huai gained a lot of laughter by persecuting Cheng Yubao. In a happy atmosphere, the four finally arrived at the private restaurant.
Lin Chen sat on one side, and Cheng Zhou sat on the other side. After getting out of the car, Cheng Yubao was persecuted by Lin Huai and became silent for a while. He sat across from him, his eyes downcast as if he was thinking. From time to time, he raised his head to look at Lin Huai.
Chen Shu quickly noticed Cheng Yubao's gaze. He misunderstood again, and taking advantage of Cheng Yubao's going to the toilet, he secretly said to Lin Huai: "Then, that person has never given up on you."
Lin Huai: ...
Chen Shu: "Just now in the car, he just wanted to wipe your oil, I'm pissed!"
He thought for a while, and then said: "Send your boyfriend a text message and ask him to pick you up. I suspect that person is going to plot against you again. What the hell is Zhou Ming doing? Bring all these people here, bah !"
Lin Huai: ...
After thinking about it, he gave Chu Tianshu a position.
It has to be said that Chen Shu's vigilance made things much easier. After they had eaten a few mouthfuls, Cheng Yubao suddenly suggested that they have a toast with white wine.
He seemed to be trying to judge whether Lin Huai was human or not by Lin Huai's reaction to the drink. After hearing his proposal, Chen Shu smiled coldly.
"Lin Huai can't drink alcohol." Chen Shu's reaction was stronger than Lin Huai's, "Don't try to force him!"
Cheng Yubao:
He looked at Chen Shu, then at Lin Huai, and seemed to be lost.
Chen Shu was furious when he saw his vicious look. He glanced at Zhou Ming coldly, and said, "I'll help him drink."
Cheng Yubao:?
Originally, he just wanted to test Lin Huai, but seeing Chen Shu defending Lin Huai so much, and glaring at Zhou Ming, he fell into deeper confusion.
Lin Huai might be a ghost→Chen Shu defends Lin Huai→Chen Shu glares at Zhou Ming→Chen Shu acts as if jealous in the car→Lin Huai asks to calculate how fast he and Chen Shu are dating→Chen, Zhou and Lin are asked for their relationship
Cheng Yubao:? ?
He seemed a little confused about the relationship between the three of them. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized something.
He smiled wryly in his heart and waved his hands: "I don't mean anything, don't get me wrong."
As he spoke, he took a special look at Chen Shu and Zhou Ming.
Chen Shu: "What did I misunderstand?"
Zhou Ming:
Seeing Cheng Yubao's sympathetic gaze, Zhou Ming suddenly became confused.
The picture was very chaotic for a while, Lin Huai saw that they started to look at each other for no reason, seeing through everything, and squinting.
"This..." He licked the wine and felt that it would be fine for him to drink a small glass, so he reassured, "You don't have to pay too much attention to me, I'll just drink it."
Chen Shu: "Lin Huai!!"
He looked heartbroken, watched Lin Huai drinking, and glared at Zhou Ming: "It's all your fault!"
Zhou Ming:
The four of them started to get confused at the same time. Cheng Yubao was in confusion, seeing Lin Huai drinking down the wine, he planned to get along with him and observe further.
The dinner has come to an end. Before he was about to leave, Cheng Yubao took the initiative and said, "My house is nearby, and the car is parked there. Shall I drive you?"
When Chen Shu heard these words, he almost fell into a coma.
Zhou Ming didn't understand the situation at all. He only saw that Cheng Yubao seemed to be interested in Lin Huai, and felt that there was no need for him to stop him, and he wanted to spend a good night with Chen Shu wholeheartedly. Seeing that Cheng Yubao wanted to take Lin Huai away, he naturally very much agreed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shu made an attack at this time. He looked at Cheng Yubao and smiled coldly: "What do you mean?"
Cheng Yubao was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Chen Shu said angrily: "Do you think he is a bully and wants to bully others? Let me tell you, Lin Huai is mine..."
Cheng Yubao: "Ah? Don't you have Zhou Ming?"
Zhou Ming: "Ah? What's your situation?"
The scene was once very chaotic. Lin Huai took a step back, holding the hood of a car with her palm.
He seemed, kind of, dizzy.
Lin Huai: ... Fuck.
After realizing that his drinking had reached a new low, he suddenly felt like passing out.
On the other side, the three people were still arguing, and it intensified.
Chen Shu: "What do you mean?"
Cheng Yubao: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Ming: "What do you all mean?"
Chen Shu: "Zhou Ming! Don't you care about the people you brought?"
Cheng Yubao: "Zhou Ming, do you take care of your wife?"
Zhou Ming: "Ah? What's none of my business??"
Waiter: "These three gentlemen, please don't quarrel here..."
Passerby: "Oh my God, are homosexuals so chaotic these days, arguing in public..."
"I don't care." Chen Shu said angrily, "In short, Lin Huai is mine, so he has to follow me."
Cheng Yubao's face turned cold: "It's not your turn to speak here."
Zhou Ming was about to faint: "What are you guys arguing about?"
For a while, Lin Huai was quite speechless. Although his head was getting more and more dizzy, he licked his lips and suddenly wanted to go up and fan the fire: "Stop arguing because of me! I..."
"Of course follow me."
A familiar voice appeared behind him, and Chu Tianshu embraced the drunk Lin Huai into his arms. He glanced at the people who were arguing, and said helplessly to Lin Huai, "Why are you drinking again?"
The moment he appeared, Cheng Yubao and Chen Shu's eyes widened at the same time.
"Damn it!!"
Two identical exclamations came from the mouths of the two people. Next, the same two sentences.
"Why are you here??"
"What's your relationship with him??"
Zhou Ming: "... huh?? How do you all know him?"
The addition of Chu Tianshu made the scene even more confusing. The waiter, who originally wanted to persuade the fight, also fell into confusion because of the confusing relationship between the five people.
At first, he thought it was a triangular relationship between the original wife (Chen Shu), the mistress (Cheng Yubao), and the scumbag (Zhou Ming), and the drunk Lin Huai was just a passerby. Later, he found that Lin Huai seemed to be a member of this polygon. After he managed to sort out the logic of "Zhou Ming and Chen Shu are a couple, Chen Shu and Cheng Yubao are fighting for Lin Huai, and Zhou Ming finds out that he has been greened"...
There are new people joining.
And I don't know why... Cheng Yubao and Chen Shu both gritted their teeth at this newcomer.
Chu Tianshu: "Hey, why do you hate me so much? Are you two afraid that I will make you cry again?"
He originally said that he made Cheng Yubao cry, and made Chen Shu angry in the competition. However, when these words entered the ears of others, his color changed again.
"Let's talk about it next time. This person keeps rubbing against me." Chu Tianshu took Lin Huai into his arms, "Let's go first."
"This person is mine. As for the three of you, play on your own." He waved his hand, "Goodbye."
Waiter:? ?
"Oh my god." He sighed, "The calcium circle is too messy."
