Chen Lixue.
'This name sounds so familiar...' Lin Huai was digging hard at the memory behind the door.
He subconsciously put his hand on his chin, and tapped his mandible with his thumb regularly: "Chen Liexue...Chen Liexue..."
'correct. A flash of light flashed through his brain, "Chen Liexue, Chen Xing, the head of the Chen Xing Mercenary Group?" '
After thinking about this, he continued to look out the door through the cat's eyes. On a hot day, the man outside the door was still wearing a long black trench coat, with a tall and slender figure. He was handsome, with prominent phoenix eyes, and his demeanor was chilling even in the scorching summer.
Commander, traitor... Lin Huai immediately thought of the words "catch traitors", no, "repel traitors"...
His eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, and the scale pointer in his heart began to swing back and forth between the words "catch rape" and "repel rape". Before he could react any more, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
Then, the bony hand picked up the remote control, and the electronic lock on the door opened as the button was pressed: "Come in."
As the door was opened, a thin layer of rain and fog floated in outside the door. In this way, Chen Liexue entered the room with the breath of the wind. He shook the water off the long umbrella and leaned it against the umbrella tube outside the door.
After entering the gate, his sharp eyes swept across the room and landed on Lin Huai's face.
Then, it stopped moving.
Then, he scanned Lin Huai carefully from top to bottom, with a bit of suspicion like loose ice in his eyes, and a bit of self-doubt-like confusion.
"Did I meet you somewhere?" Chen Liexue asked.
"what?"
"You look a little familiar." He said, "Is it in reality, or in which copy?"
The look in his eyes made Lin Huai's scalp tingle - any man would feel his scalp tingling when he was stared at so deeply by another man who was a head taller than him, not to mention that this man took a step closer and stared at him for himself face look. He took a step back, secretly tiptoed to look at the other party: "Hehe, this is normal."
"what?"
Lin Huai said: "Handsome people are often similar, and ugly people are different. You are not the first person to say that I look like Wu Yanzu."
Chen Lixue: "..."
Seeing that the other party was still staring at him, Lin Huai shrugged, moved to the other side, and gestured to him chicly: "Please."
Following his gestures, Chen Liexue finally looked away. He put the windbreaker on the sofa next to him and went upstairs.
"... You don't mind the heat in a windbreaker in summer." Chen Liexue just went upstairs when she heard a muffled voice from the sofa, "Are you cosplaying Gin? Or are you cosplaying the man in black? "
Chen Liexue didn't reply. He looked at the furnishings in the living room and sat on a chair: "It seems that you are doing well."
As he spoke, he frowned when he saw the outfit on the other person: "Did you just download the dungeon?"
"Yeah." The person lying on the sofa lazily said, "Obviously, I almost lost half my life."
"You said before that you have no plan to enter the dungeon these two days." Chen Liexue frowned, "What kind of dungeon is it?"
"It's boring." Chu Tianshu said quickly, put his chin on Pikachu's head, and raised one eyelid, "Boring food, boring stone statues, and no wifi... But I finally settled on some things, even though I was beaten because of it." A meal... tsk."
As he spoke, his amber eyes flickered in the sunlight, and he turned towards the downstairs again.
"Are you sure about what?"
"A guess," he said.
"...It's your messy pseudoscience again?" Chen Liexue complained unceremoniously, "I said it a long time ago, those things don't make sense at all. You used to always be like this..."
"That's why I left Chenxing." Chu Tianshu lazily said, "And another person told me that he thought it was good that I was like this. Not everyone is as pragmatic as you..."
"Then he disappeared." Chen Liexue said coldly, "This is what happens to idealists."
The room was very quiet for a while, except for the sound of rain outside the window, and the ticking of the clock. After a long time, Chen Liexue said again: "I didn't come here to argue with you..."
"Stop, stop." Chu Tianshu blocked his ears, "You hurt me just now, I don't want to talk to you now."
Chen Liexue did not speak. He waited for a while, but Chu Tianshu kept the posture of plugging his ears, turned around, and faced him with the back of his head.
After a long time, he said, "500,000."
"RMB?" Chu Tianshu opened one ear, "Am I the kind of person who sells his principles for money?"
"Center currency." Chen Liexue said expressionlessly.
Chu Tianshu maintained the posture of covering his ears with both hands, he turned his head away for a while, and then turned back again.
"Okay, ten minutes," he said.
After sticking to the principle for ten minutes, he let go of his hands: "Tell me, what's the job."
"A commission from the central world." Chen Liexue handed him the kraft paper bag, "Go to a low-level to mid-level upgrade field world, and find something. Chen Xing has been unable to draw in the high-level field recently, so I can only come to you .”
"Oh..." Chu Tianshu flipped through the contents of the paper bag, "What's the name of that world?"
Chen Liexue didn't blink her eyes: "A civilized world."
During the conversation between the two, Lin Huai had been lying on the sofa on the first floor. He looked left and right, there was really nothing to do, and he couldn't go up to disturb him, so he simply looked down at the floor and counted the number of floor tiles.
'It's better to look around than to stay here. ' he thought, and stood up, clapping his hands.
The furnishings on the first floor of Chu Tianshu's house are really lackluster. He walked around the living room for a long time, but he didn't see anything that could arouse people's interest. Just when he gave up struggling and was about to go upstairs, there was a thin "meow" sound from his feet.
All his hair exploded at that moment.
'Hehe, hehe,' he laughed dryly, 'it's just a four-legged beast, I'm not afraid of it at all, I'm not afraid of it at all. '
He turned his head stiffly, only to see an orange cat lying on the sofa, staring at him lingeringly.
A ghost and a cat looked at each other with guarded eyes. After being stared at by the cat for a long time, he secretly put one hand behind his back and stretched out his long nails.
But at that moment, the orange cat was picked up by someone: "You and it hit it off pretty well."
Seeing the orange cat being hugged away, Lin Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly, and secretly retracted her nails. The young man with the orange cat in his arms said to Chen Liexue: "Look at you, you are all in black. If you don't know, you might think that you came from some espionage training center."
Chen Liexue put on her coat and held her umbrella. He gave Lin Huai one last look, nodded to him slightly, and then opened his umbrella and disappeared into the rain.
After Chu Tianshu shut the cat back upstairs, he exhausted his energy and retreated into the sofa. He looked at Lin Huai with a strange expression on his face, and asked him, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Lin Huai sniffed the air, "I thought some murder would happen here..."
"Now is the society ruled by law in the 21st century..."
"Is he your former head?" Lin Huai asked, "You and him seem to have a good relationship."
After he finished speaking, he saw that Chu Tianshu, who had already retracted into the sofa, poked his head out immediately.
"Don't get me wrong." Chu Tianshu said seriously, "There is only money between me and him."
"..." Lin Huai gave him a deep look, "I understand."
"No, wait, what do you understand?"
"How can I bear to blame you for making a mistake, I gave you too much freedom..."
"Love is a ray of light, so beautiful... stop, stop, stop." Chu Tianshu said righteously, "Don't talk nonsense, if there are any deviations in the future reports, you will be responsible."
"Then what happened between you and Chen Xing?" Lin Huai crossed his legs, "Tell me."
"Everyone takes what they need and exchanges interests." Chu Tianshu said, "Later, when the three views disagreed, they left the group."
He thought for a while, and then said: "Speaking of which, it's related to two people. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have left so soon."
"Who are those two people?"
"One is Chen Liexue's younger brother, an arms dealer named Xia Xingye." He said, "The other is an ex-friend of mine... who I used to be very...how should I put it."
He looked at Lin Huai for a long time, searched his guts, but couldn't find a suitable adjective.
"A person who makes me willing to prepare for him for a long time."
"who's that person?"
"crow."
