Translator: 549690339
Since Lu Xin had no idea when the drunkard was going to make a move on the organization he was investigating, he decided to come over earlier to discuss with her. That night, he asked han Bing to book a ticket to satellite city No. 4
for him and set off the next morning.
The subway went higher and higher, and finally, it had climbed to an elevated railway dozens of meters above the ground, passing through the sky of the city.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
When the high train drove out of the high wall of satellite city No. 2, it felt the sunlight pouring in from the outside.
Lu Xin peeked out of the car window and was greeted by a refreshing sight.
Between the huge high walls, there were large patches of green vegetation, which covered some broken buildings.
The layout of Qing gang city was the most common in the world after the red Moon incident.
Inside, it was the main city of Qing gang, which had the best architecture and the most modern atmosphere.
Around the main city were five satellite cities, namely the East, South, West, North, and the observation tower. They were like a huge palm that was spread out on the ground. The main city that was far away, which seemed to be emitting a silver light, was the palm of the palm, and the satellite cities were the fingers.
Between the satellite city and the main city, there were large areas of farmland, orchards, ranches, greenhouses, and some lakes and rivers.
Further out, there was a wilderness with no end in sight.
There was an elevated railway network between the six cities. When there were still many lunatics in the wilderness, qingang city relied on these high trains that were nearly 100 meters above the ground to transport goods to prevent attacks from lunatics. However, now that there were fewer lunatics, the ground transportation had also flourished. This elevated railway network that spanned between various cities had become a feature.
Nowadays, only people who traveled between cities would choose this mode of travel.
After all, because they were on the duga, even if they left the high wall city, they would not be considered leaving the city.
On the ground, even if he went from one satellite city to another, the system would still judge him as leaving the city.
When Gao lie stopped at the station of satellite town No. 4, Lu Xin followed the crowd out of the carriage and went to the last carriage to retrieve his motorcycle. After observing the motorcycle carefully for a while and seeing that it was not scratched by the rough pushing of the staff, he finally relaxed. He then rode it through the underground tunnel and came to the exit above ground.
He had already talked on the phone on the train, and drunkard should be waiting for him here.
Lu Xin’s gaze swept across the room before coming to a stop. He saw a young girl in a school uniform waving at him.
“Hello …”
Lu Xin quickly pushed his cart over and greeted him with a smile.
The words reached his mouth, but he paused slightly, not knowing how to address her.Mr. Drunkard? A lady? Little sister?
“Hehe, you must be little Bing, right?”
Before Lu Xin could come up with an appropriate way to address him, the ponytailed drunkard was already looking at him with a kind expression.
“We’ve met before, but it was too chaotic at that time, so we didn’t have time to talk much …” He smiled and stretched out his hand.
“Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help me with my work.”
I wanted to look for that Xie Huzi, but he said he had a stomach ache …
“Stop it, Hu Zi …”
It took Lu Xin a moment to understand what she was referring to. He laughed and said, ‘”‘lt’s what I should do. I’ll do my best to cooperate.”
The girl in front of him was pure and clean. She was at the age where she was full of collagen and was unrivaled in youth. However, the kind look on her face made Lu Xin feel a little strange. When he spoke to her, he subconsciously felt that he was shorter by half …
The main reason was that they were half a step lower in terms of seniority.
“Hehe, good. Young man. you’re in good spirits …”
Drunkard gave him a thumbs up, unscrewed the thermos cup, and took a sip. “Don’t just stand there. Let’s go, I’ll take you to dinner.”
“Oh, okay …”
Lu Xin sniffed the aroma of the wine in the thermos flask, and a sense of respect rose in his heart.
As he waited, the drunkard soon drove her car over. Lu Xin’s eyes widened in surprise.
It was a rusty tricycle without a hood, with a hood at the back, and paint peeling in many places … The drunkard was wearing a school uniform, sports shoes, and his hair was tied up in a ponytail. He drove the three-wheeled motorcycle and attracted countless eyes.
He pulled on the brake, patted the back of the car, and said, ”’Get in the car, young man. What are you waiting for?”
“Just throw your motorcycle up …”
“Uh … Why don’t I follow behind you …”
Lu Xin agreed, but in the end, he couldn’t help but ask, ‘”‘This is your car?”
“That’s right
Drunkard unscrewed the thermos and took a sip. this car is good. They don’t even check for drunk driving …
So, drunkard rolled up his sleeves, revealing two white and tender arms. He held the handle of the car and drove steadily in front.
Lu Xin rode his motorcycle and followed behind at a snail’s speed. The oil on the tricycle was not burning well as black smoke kept billowing out. Lu Xin stopped to take a look and saw that the silver bumper had been blackened .
He had no choice but to keep a distance from her.
Anyway, drunkard’s car was so stable that he could keep up even if he walked.
The drunkard said they were going to have dinner. Lu Xin wasn’t hungry at first, but after following him all the way here, he dragged it out and became hungry.
Originally, he thought that if the drunkard treated him to a meal, even if it was not a big restaurant, it would be a small restaurant that made meat rice. After all, they were on business trips and could be reimbursed. Moreover, han Bing had told him before that the drunkard was a very generous person.
However, as they followed drunkard into a small District in the city center, Lu Xin was a little surprised.
“This is …”
Lu Xin stopped the car and looked at the rows of residential buildings around him.
“This is my home …”
“Let’s go. We’ll have dinner upstairs and then discuss the mission.”
Drunkard got out of the car, parked the tricycle, and went upstairs with his hands behind his back.
“You’re actually here for dinner?”
Lu Xin was a little surprised, but when he saw that drunkard had already entered the building, he quickly locked the car and examined it before quickly following behind.
“Wu GE GE is back?”
The neighborhood looked Grand and clean, and the staircases were livelier than other places. It was the weekend and it was time for lunch, so there were many people walking around. While waiting for the elevator, the neighbors greeted each other warmly. An old man with a kind face looked at the drunkard with a smile. He even sneaked a glance at Lu Xin and said, ‘”‘This young man is your friend?” it’s my colleague, grandma Wang. Did you buy good food again? ‘
The drunkard answered with a clear and melodious voice, like a curious and lovely girl.
Lu Xin could clearly sense that she was pretending to be young and innocent even though her answer and behavior were befitting of her status.
oh my, you only have a sharp nose. You bought some yellow flowers …
The kind old man opened the basket and showed drunkard a look, then smiled and said, ‘”‘1’11 send some over to your house when I’m done!”
“I also want .
A couple holding hands at the side also joined in the fun. The man raised his hand and said, “”My wife loves to eat grandma Wang’s little yellow flowers.”
“You know I like it, but you didn’t buy it for me?”
The girl next to him looked at him reproachfully, then took out a box of cherry beads from her bag with a smile and stuffed it into the old man’s hands. She smiled and said, ” I’ve eaten grandma Wang’s delicious food so many times in the past that I’m embarrassed. You can bring these fruits back for your grandson to eat …
Aiyo, I can’t. This is expensive …
there’s no such thing as expensive or not. It’s not as delicious as the little yellow flowers …
The elevator door opened, and a slightly chubby woman pushed an old man in a wheelchair out. She had a kind and polite smile on her face as she greeted the neighbors, “”Auntie Wang, Xiao sun, and GE GE, you’re all back?”
“Sister Liu, you’re pushing father-in-law down for a walk again?” the neighbors backed away.
When they entered the elevator, everyone was still discussing. sister Liu is also not bad. Her husband died while he was out transporting goods, and her father-in-law broke his leg. In the end, not only did she not send her father-in-law back, but she also took care of him. In this world, there are not many good people like her …
Lu Xin stood in the middle of them and listened quietly. He also felt that these neighbors of drunkard were actually quite good.
It was good to have such a neighbor to take care of him in his daily life.
It was a pity that very few people lived in his old building.
“Dad, mom, I’m back.”
The drunkard’s house was quite spacious, looking like it was about 140 to 150 square meters.
The decorations were classical and heavy, filled with exquisite little potted plants and books, giving off a very intellectual atmosphere.
As soon as they entered, a middle-aged man and woman came up to them.
They were all in their forties. The man was wearing a pair of glasses, and the woman was wearing a blue cheongsam. They looked very elegant. From the photos in the living room, one could see that they had taken a group photo with their students. Were they all teachers?
Aiya, quickly sit down, quickly sit down …
The drunkard’s parents were pleasantly surprised to see Lu Xin, who had followed her into the house. They looked at Lu Xin with great enthusiasm.
GE GE finally made friends? ‘
“This is my colleague. You guys sit with him first, I’ll go cook.”
don’t stand on ceremony, young man, ” drunkard called out to Lu Xin. peel an Apple for yourself.
As she spoke, she took an apron and went into the kitchen.
“Alright, alright .
Lu Xin had no choice but to take a seat on the sofa. The drunkard’s parents sat on either side of him, and they looked at Lu Xin from head to toe. They exchanged glances secretly, and Lu Xin could see that they seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden.
“Not bad, young man …”
The drunkard’s mother looked at Lu Xin with concern. “What’s your name? how old are you?” uh, I’m twenty-three years old. My name is ..
Lu Xin hesitated, not knowing if he should reveal his real name. According to their rules, they should use code names to communicate.
In fact, he didn’t know the drunkard’s real name.
Moreover, logically speaking, he should not have come into contact with the drunkard’s family …
The drunkard brought him home for dinner, which was not in line with the habits of an ability user.
twenty-three. That’s good, that’s good …
The drunkard’s father didn’t make things difficult for Lu Xin as he nodded with a smile. my GE GE is already 18. Don’t be fooled by her temper, she’s actually a good person. We originally planned to let her take the college entrance exam after she graduates from high school, but she wasn’t very interested, so we let her be. Right now, we’re more concerned about her. You two … What stage are you at now?”
“Pfft!”
Lu Xin almost spat out his tea. He suddenly felt that something was amiss. Did the drunkard’s parents misunderstand something?
“What are you guys thinking?”
At this time, drunkard stuck his head out of the kitchen, frowning, and said, ‘”‘This is my colleague, Bing. He’s here to help me with my work. This is only the second time we’ve met … I say, the two of you are so young, can’t you have a higher level of awareness?”
“Don’t think about these things every day. Can’t you put more energy into your career?”
“This …”
The drunkard’s parents suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
After a while, the drunkard’s mother pushed some fruits to Lu Xin and said,
“”You eat, I’ll help her cook …”
Lu Xin and the drunkard’s father sat in the living room, staring at each other.
Soon, drunkard’s helpless voice came from the kitchen. “Little Wang … Oh, no, mom . you’re already an adult, but you’re still so clumsy. Can you scale that fish like this? „
“You’ll have to use your knife to pick … What’s wrong?”
you’re already unhappy just because I said a few words. I really don’t know what you young people are thinking.
you’re a University professor.. How are you going to teach those children in this state? “
