Chapter 19

Inside the room, the snow-white bed was covered with a layer of golden light, and the smiling boy in a straw hat on the wall was still as eye-catching.

The door closed. Luo Yu pinched Luo Zhi's throat and whispered, "Is there anything wrong at all?"

Luo Zhi took his hand away: "This little bit of temperature is nothing to me."

Luo Yuguo opened the disgusting wardrobe and took out a black and white backpack. He smiled and said, "Thank goodness I was quick-witted, otherwise this would be hard to explain. How could a normal person drink soup over 100 degrees in one breath? Master Luo Zhi, you've ruined my heart. You'll have to compensate me someday."

Luo Zhi also felt that he was really careless just now, so he had no choice but to nod in response.

Luo Yu said, "I haven't even mentioned any compensation yet, and you agreed. Aren't you afraid of being cheated by me?"

Luo Zhi said, "It's up to you."

Luo Yu scratched his head, and happily took a set of clothes from the closet and stuffed them into his black and white backpack.

With two hissing sounds, the zipper of the backpack opened and closed.

Luo Yu put on his backpack and made an OK gesture to Luo Zhi who was standing by the door.

Luo Zhi stood still and asked, "Where are you going now?"

Luo Yu, carrying his backpack, went to draw the curtains. With a rustle, the room was plunged into a dim light. Luo Yu said, "I'm going to buy a camera now."

Luo Zhi said, "Isn't a mobile phone just a camera?"

Luo Yu said: "Mobile phones need electricity, but cameras don't. You can take pictures anytime, anywhere."

Luo Zhi said, "Well, let's go."

The door of the room opened and closed. In the living room, Xu Xiaoxia had tidied everything and was now bending over and opening a durian on the table with Luo Zeping.

When Luo Zhi smelled the scent, his eyebrows began to move closer.

"Are we leaving now?" Xu Xiaoxia stood up.

Luo Yu walked over and said, "Yes, we still have to go somewhere."

Luo Zeping picked up a piece of durian flesh and offered it to Xu Xiaxia's mouth with both hands. Xu Xiaoxia took a bite and said, "Then remember to contact your mother the day before you go down the mountain."

Luo Yubian walked towards the front door with Luo Zhi while saying goodbye: "Got it. Dad, Mom, I'm leaving now. See you next week."

Luo Zeping and Xu Xiaoxia waved to them while eating durian.

Luo Yu laughed, opened the door, and walked to the elevator. Just as his hand was about to press the elevator button, he suddenly stopped. He looked at Luo Zhi and said, "Luo Zhi."

Luo Zhi tilted his head slightly: "Hmm?"

Luo Yu said, "Shall we have a game?"

Luo Zhi: "Comparing what?"

Luo Yu walked to the stairs, pointed down and said, "Who gets downstairs first? The winner..." Luo Yu thought for a moment, raised his lip, and said, "The winner gets to go to the pedestrian bridge and shout "Long live the motherland!" towards the Yangtze River.

Luo Zhi folded his arms and looked at him for a moment, then said arrogantly, "You're doomed."

Luo Yu didn't care, he didn't think about winning.

It is about 20 kilometers from here to the pedestrian bridge, and he wants to ride this 20 kilometers with Luo Zhi.

He waved: "Then come over here, let's start the competition... Hey! Luo Zhi, you can act like a cheater now!"

As soon as Luo and the word "Bi" came out, Luo Zhizheng's body rushed towards him like a hurricane, and a whistling sound echoed in the corridor.

In less than two seconds, Luo Yu could no longer see him.

Luo Yu couldn't help laughing. He felt that Luo Zhi was too much like a child.

He smiled and went over to press the elevator button.

He's going to take the elevator down.

As we went down to the first floor, the gap in the elevator door became wider and wider, and the handsome face behind the door became clearer and clearer.

Luo Yudang acted as if nothing had happened and walked out as usual. After passing Luo Zhi for a few steps, he saw that he didn't move and said, "Let's go buy a camera now."

Be attached but still do not move.

Luo Yu subconsciously touched his nose and secretly glanced at him from the side.

Perhaps because he had just run downstairs and hadn't adjusted his glasses yet, Luo Zhi's gold-rimmed glasses were drooping a little low.

Luo Yu walked over, facing his fake gaze that said "If you don't give me an explanation, I'll kill you", and raised her hand to adjust his glasses.

When her hand touched his face, Luo Yu, for some unknown reason, pinched his right cheek lightly.

Then Luo Zhi's eyes gradually turned into helplessness, and finally turned into a sigh with a smile. He said, "You are the one playing tricks."

Luo Yu admitted generously: "Yeah, are you happy then?"

Luo Zhi said, "So you were playing a game with me just now?"

Luo Yu was stunned. He felt that it was very strange for these words to come out of Luo Zhi's mouth, but he couldn't figure out what was strange about it for a while.

But many childhood memories inexplicably flooded my mind. A group of children made an appointment to go out and play sandbags after finishing their homework, and play glass bead games by digging holes in the ground... They were laughing and having a lot of fun.

But these memories are not beautiful for Luo Yu, as they are mixed with many past events that should never be mentioned again.

He shook off these sudden memories, forced a smile, and said, "What do you think, Master Luozhi?"

After leaving the community, Luo Yu scanned two shared bicycles on the sidewalk, and one of them, Gui, got on them. Luo Yu turned on the navigation and followed Ai Xiaomei's instructions to the camera store.

On the way, Ai Xiaomei's voice was intermittent, reminding him to turn left, right, and turn a few hundred meters away... Luo Zhi said, "Why don't you reply to her?"

Luo Yu was stunned, then realized what he meant and couldn't help laughing, and Chetou laughed along with him.

Luo Zhi clicked his tongue, looked around, and seeing that there were no vehicles passing, he reached over and grabbed Luo Yu's shaking front end tightly.

Land and brake suddenly.

Luo Zhi's voice sounded with a hint of rebuke: "How come you don't have any sense of safety at all?!"

Luo Yu was still smiling: "Don't worry, I can control it!"

At this time, a vehicle came from behind, and they moved to the side one after another.

Luo Zhi was in front of him. He turned around and said, "That's still very dangerous. We can't do that again in the future."

There were two sounds of "luo" and "hmm".

Only then did Luo Zhi ask the real question: "Why are you laughing so suddenly?"

Speaking of this, Luo Yu couldn't help laughing again, his shoulders shaking with laughter. He pointed to the phone in the basket and said, "I'm not talking to anyone. The person who was talking on the phone just now was Ai, who can give us the navigation address."

Luo Yu coughed and stopped smiling: "Ahem, do you understand, Master Luo Zhi?"

Luo Zhi's expression was a little frustrated. After a long while, he said, "I understand."

"Xiaomei! Continue navigating!" Luo Yu shouted and then rode his bicycle to pass Luo Zhi, and Luo Zhi followed.

I rode along the straight road for about ten minutes, and finally turned left at the intersection. I saw a store 100 meters ahead with some eye-catching red words: Photographic Equipment Sales Department.

He parked his bike next to a tree and went in to make his purchase.

As soon as you step in, you will see a long table covered with black cloth in the middle of the store. Various large photographic equipment are placed on the table. The porcelain white walls on the left and right are surrounded by layers of small cameras on the shelves, including card cameras, SLR cameras, all of which are colorful.

Luo Yu noticed at a glance a light green card camera on the second layer of the left shelf. He took it in his hand and weighed it. It was light, thin and compact, with clear colors and easy to put into the pocket. This was it.

After paying and walking out the door, Luo Yu looked at the time, it was 2:20.

So far, there has not been a single phone call. It is estimated that the police did not pay attention to the matter of burying the body under the tree, so he does not have to worry about being found during the days he was away.

Luo Yu opened the navigation on his phone, typed in the pedestrian bridge, and said with a smile, "Luo Zhi, let's go to the pedestrian bridge and shout "Long live the motherland."

Luo Zhi said, "It was you who shouted."

Luo Yu: "Hey, can't you just shout with me?"

Luo Zhi: “No.”

Luo Yuqie snorted, curled his lips, and said, "Okay, then I'm so lonely."

Luo Zhi: "I'll be your audience."

Luo Yu smiled and nodded, but when they walked to the tree, Luo Zhi suddenly asked him for his cell phone, saying that he wanted to buy some water.

Luo Zhi took his cell phone into a small supermarket, while Luo Yu sat on his bicycle and waited, studying his single-card camera.

Two minutes later, Luo Zhi gave him a bottle of mineral water, and they got on their bicycles, left the intersection, and rode along Yingtian Street.

Lingcheng is known as a furnace in summer. The sunlight at this time can burn people's skin. In fact, it is most comfortable to ride to the pedestrian bridge at night. You can see the night view of the city and the lit Lingcheng Eye. The river wind at night is even more violent, and it makes a whistling sound in people's ears.

Luo Zhi and Luo Yu started to enter the small ramp. Luo Yu was already sweating profusely. Luo Zhi, on the other hand, was still the same, looking clean and refreshed, which was enviable.

At this time, he went down the slide again, sweating profusely and panting heavily, and braked to a stop under a camphor tree.

He really couldn't pedal anymore.

It's been a long time since I've ridden a bike for such a long time. I suddenly pedaled for almost 15 kilometers without stopping, and my legs needed to slow down.

Luo Zhi said, "You need to strengthen your physical strength."

“…” I rode 15 kilometers straight under the scorching sun at 40 degrees Celsius, feeling energetic, with my shoulders and back straight, not even a hint of fatigue. And yet they say I don’t have the stamina???

Luo Yu wiped his face and said with an unsteady breath, "Master, are you looking down on me?"

Luo Zhi said: "No, but your physical strength is really poor."

Yes, you are the best, you are better than the Olympic strongmen!

Luo Yu smiled and said, "I will strengthen my training in the future. Can Master Luo Zhi come and be my coach when the time comes?"

Luo Zhi immediately refused: "Not appropriate."

Luo Yu knew he would respond like this, so he didn't get discouraged. "Alright." He stepped back on the pedals. "I've rested enough, let's continue."

After riding around the winding road and entering the East Ring Island Road, they arrived at the Youth Olympic Park. They locked their bicycles at the parking lot and walked up the steel stairs next to the security room.

The steel ladder made a clattering sound as soon as someone stepped on it. Luo Yu looked up and saw that there were quite a lot of people.

When he stepped onto the pedestrian bridge, the first thing that hit him was a cool breeze, as if it knew he was very hot and blew it on him before he stepped in, and then everything returned to tranquility.

After being washed by the cool breeze for a few seconds, Luo Yu felt much more comfortable. He walked towards the Lingcheng Eye building in front of him and said, "Let's go forward."

Luo Zhi followed up: "Aren't you going to shout Long live the motherland?"

Luo Yu sighed and wondered why he was still thinking about it. She had thought he shouldn't care about such things.

But now it seems that he has been caught.

He said, "Come and shout right away, I'm just brewing something."

Luo Zhi smiled: "Well, have you prepared it yet?"

Luo Yu was at his wit's end. He stared at Luo Zhi, his cheeks puffing up more and more. Ten seconds later, he transformed into a gust of air and rushed to the bridge railing. Looking at the shimmering river, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Long live the motherland!!!"

The pedestrians on the bridge were attracted by his shouting and looked towards him one after another, with strange expressions on their faces, some laughing and some surprised.

Luo Yu could feel countless pairs of eyes staring at him from behind, but he continued to stand there looking at the Yangtze River, waiting for Luo Zhi to come and pull him away.

Time passed by minute by minute, and ten minutes passed. During this time, Luo Yu kept his head down and glanced at the ground, but no shadow ever approached.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, turned around, took a look, but froze.

Luo Zhi's body is in a translucent state!

And it seems that he can't move.

Luo Yu felt a little dizzy, and he rushed over unsteadily, stammering, "...this, this..."

"Why are you so nervous?" Luo Zhi chuckled softly, "Have you forgotten that I bit your collarbone a few days ago?"

Luo Yu was stunned, and now he understood.

It turned out that the wound on his collarbone had scabbed and peeled off, so Luo Zhi's body would naturally disappear as well.

Thinking that it was Luo Zhi who made him transparent, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then leaned his head towards Luo Zhi's cheek and whispered in his ear, "Then take another bite."

Luo Zhi didn't do it, but kept staring at the face so close to him.

In the pouring sunlight, Luo Zhi could clearly see every tiny hair on Luo Yu's fair skin.

Luo Zhi looked at it for a while and said, "No, we should leave soon."

Luo Yu didn't move, as if he was determined not to do anything, so he kept maintaining this action.

If you look at their posture at this moment from a distance, it will give the illusion that they are a pair of lovers kissing in the sun, which is really heart-warming.

Luo Yu said: "No, you can't move freely, and I'm not afraid of pain, so bite me quickly."

Luo Zhi finally bit his neck very lightly. It was more like touching the delicate skin with his teeth than biting.

Luo Yu didn't feel any pain at all. He felt that Luo Zhi was just tickling him, but Luo Zhi did recover.

So he asked in confusion: "Why did it seem like it didn't bite you this time?"

Luo Zhi took a few steps back, squeezed his glasses, and said, "Yes, it was a bite, but it was only a light one."

Luo Yuwen: "Is it because I'm leaving soon and don't need to bite deep, or is it because... you feel sorry for me?"

Five seconds later, Luo Zhi said, "Both."

Luo Yu continued to ask: "Which one accounts for a larger proportion?"

Luo Zhi walked past him expressionlessly and went straight ahead, leaving him with only his towering back.

He didn't want to answer the question.

Luo Yu was a little disappointed, but more happy. He trotted after him and kept asking questions, but Luo Zhi's answers were still so brief.

As dusk falls, restaurants start to get busy, subways become crowded, and roads become congested.

As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city diminishes by half. The sanitation workers put down their bamboo brooms, but the sycamore leaves are still falling to the ground. Tomorrow the whole city will be covered with fallen leaves again.

Xu Xiaoxia was humming a little tune while washing dishes at the kitchen sink when she was suddenly interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.

Luo Zeping was taking a shower in the bathroom at the moment. Xu Xiaoxia washed her hands, walked to the door and looked outside through the peephole, but was stunned.

Standing outside the door were two men in police uniforms.
