Chapter 385: So cunning, hiding all my youth
Finkel is indeed excellent in the intelligence network. Chu Zihang asked him to help find the Chu family's old house, and he locked the target in less than half an hour.
After all, it was a well-known and well-known family in the capital at that time, and it was also involved in that big vortex. The head of the family died unjustly and even his house was taken away. When he tried to clear his name, he couldn't even find any descendants.
With so many elements, it’s really hard to find them.
The Chu family's old house is adjacent to the famous antique street Liulichang Street. It is now listed for sale under a real estate agency. Chu Zihang is contacting the real estate agency to see how much it will cost to get the old house back.
Just when I was about to arrange a time to go offline and see what was going on, Lu Mingfei pushed the door open and without a word, sold Xia Mi out:
"Old Chu, something happened at Xia Mi's home. Her brother is seriously ill and needs a major operation.
Although the surgeon is handsome and skilled, the surgery is risky and the recovery time is measured in years. The family is currently struggling with whether or not to proceed with the surgery.
Chu Zihang, who was planning to ask Xia Mi to go house hunting together, paused when he heard this, turned around and looked at Lu Mingfei. After a 0.5 second silence, the first thing he said was:
"I'll pay for the surgery."
Don’t you even ask? You are indeed a rich young man!
Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs-up: "This isn't a question of money. The main thing is to get the family members to sign the consent form for the surgery."
If you think about it carefully, Xia Mi's situation is almost the same as her having a dead father, a non-existent mother, a seriously ill brother and being helpless.
And it just so happens that she has a childhood sweetheart, a rich boy who has an ambiguous relationship with another girl after losing his memory. This is... a perfect heroine in a romance novel!
"You want me to help persuade her?" Chu Zihang understood what she meant.
He guessed Xia Mi's identity, and he also knew that Lu Mingfei guessed that he had guessed Xia Mi's identity, but neither side said it explicitly, leaving the suspense to the two parties to reveal it themselves.
"Not really, I just want to tell you that she won't be coming back for dinner tonight." Lu Mingfei didn't expect Chu Zihang to be able to persuade Xia Mi.
After all, Xia Mi is an old thing who has lived for thousands of years. It would be difficult for her to be persuaded by a human boy in just a few words.
Chu Zihang nodded when he heard this, and then his eyes fell on the mobile phone on the table.
"The signal tower is down where she is, so the call might not be connected, but who knows." Lu Mingfei walked forward and looked at the courtyard house on Chu Zihang's computer screen, raising his eyebrows.
"Starting to choose a house now is a bit of an impulse purchase."
The value of courtyard houses has skyrocketed nowadays, and the one Chu Zihang saw was well-preserved, made of solid materials and antique style, and it was also large in size. Conservatively estimated, it was half a small house.
Such a large amount of cash, not to mention Chu Zihang, even his stepfather who owns three companies cannot come up with it.
Among their group, the only ones who apparently have the ability are the eldest daughters of the chaebol family, Ryoma Kaoru and Eri, and the stupid son of the noble family, Caesar, but they don't need it.
Lu Mingfei is now completely dependent on his younger brother, and all his food, clothing and other expenses are reimbursed by Lu Mingze.
"This is the old house of the Chu family." Chu Zihang explained.
Lu Mingfei immediately perked up when he heard this: "Whose name is the house under now?"
"I'm not sure. We'll know after we meet." This real estate agency respects customer privacy.
"Do you need support?" Lu Mingfei had no money, but he could make money.
Chu Zihang would definitely not accept the money directly, so he could just ask Su Enxi to get him an interest-free loan.
Anyway, there are a lot of things to do in the future and plenty of opportunities to make a fortune. With Chu Zihang's ability and Lu Mingfei's relationship, he can pay off the debt by just giving up a few heads.
If things really don't work out, there's still Xia Mi. Although she likes to stay in the old house, it doesn't mean she is really poor. The accumulation of the King of the Earth and Mountains for thousands of years is no joke.
Even if we don't consider her burial objects that are buried somewhere unknown, when Fenrir sheds the power of the Dragon King and is reborn, the dragon bones and blood left behind will be a huge fortune.
In the world of hybrids, they are rare treasures with no market value.
When Lu Mingfei thought of Fenrir using his remains as a dowry for his sister, he couldn't help but knock the wooden fish in his heart, trying to save his precarious merit.
But unfortunately, he has been possessed by Satan's pattern, and even knocking on Tathagata's snail head is useless.
"Let's talk about it later." Chu Zihang shook his head.
After all, this is just an old house built later, not the more commemorative ancestral home.
In his heart, people are always the most important.
If I can’t find Chu Tianjiao in the future, I can buy the old house as a remembrance.
If you find it, then in Lu Mingfei's words, it would be - Lao Deng, give me some gold coins to see your strength.
Father, you don’t want your son and his girlfriend to get married without even having a house to live in, right?
"Does Xia Mi's brother's surgery have a high success rate?"
"It's okay. I can't say it's 100%, but at least 99.99% is guaranteed."
The probability of the operation failing is equivalent to the probability that Old Tang, commanding the three-tribe coalition to defeat Norton alone, is accidentally killed by a stone that bounces up when Norton falls to the ground when he is about to win a great victory. The probability is extremely small.
"That's good. Can I go on the day of the operation?" Chu Zihang asked.
"You have to ask Xia Mi about this." Lu Mingfei patted his shoulder and turned to leave.
With a "click", the door closed again. Chu Zihang sat quietly in his original position, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated. It was the property manager calling, asking if we could meet in person tomorrow.
After hesitating for two seconds, he chose to agree.
"Okay, I'll see you at Liulichang Street tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Zihang looked at the phone screen, swiped his finger across the contact interface, and finally hovered over the phone number marked "Xia Mi". After waiting for a long time, he finally dialed the number.
After a long period of silence, he was prompted to redial later and finished dialing.
Putting down his phone, he looked up at the sky outside the window which was gradually turning light golden, feeling inexplicably moved. It turned out that the legendary creatures could also get sick.
I forgot to ask just now if it is true as Xia Mi said, that her brother's dementia and bipolar disorder have worsened.
If this can be cured, and the method can be made public, it will benefit people all over the world.
However, Chu Zihang guessed that the surgeon was most likely Lu Mingfei, otherwise he would not have added so many exaggerated adjectives, so the treatment plan should not be applicable in reality.
Yan Ling is still too supermodel.
On the other side, after Lu Mingfei went out, he took bags of snacks to find Eri, ready to take her out to experience the prosperity of the capital and enjoy the old capital cuisine.
However, after knocking on the door, he found an uninvited guest inside.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Mingfei placed the snacks on the table which was already piled with some snacks and looked at the other red-haired girl in the room.
"Why can't I be here?" Nono held a game controller and sat on a sofa with Eiry, concentrating on the game without even looking up.
"They say a long separation is better than a new marriage. You and Caesar have been separated for so long, don't you want to stay with him for a while longer?" Lu Mingfei tore open a bag of potato chips, sat on the armrest next to Eili, picked up a piece and put it into her mouth.
"Ah!" Eiry opened her mouth and bit it, chewing it with a "crunch, crunch" sound, her expression surprisingly relaxed.
She is a shy person, and it is difficult for strangers to approach her. But Nono has too many similarities with her, and they are also blood relatives. He is also willing to treat her to snacks and play games with her, so it is naturally easier to improve her favorability than with others.
"Is it a long time since we've been apart for only half a month?" Nono tried to take advantage of the opportunity when Eri was distracted by the feeding to stun her and kill her in a row. However, she was at best a game enthusiast with excellent hand speed, and was no match for a professional fighting game player like Eri.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if Eiry only had half of her health left, she could still kill the enemy with only a little health left.
If you really have never fought against it, do you understand the value of sitting next to Tongtiandai?
In the past, when I met someone I couldn’t beat, I could call him brother. Now, when I meet someone I can’t beat, I can call him Lu Mingfei. Brother, you don’t have to worry about me losing the game anymore!
"KO"
With a resounding announcement, Nuonuo was defeated by Eriyi. Lu Mingfei sneered, "What a loser."
After all, he is a cheating player who can't beat himself even with cheats, so his true level is really worrying.
Nono pretended not to hear and called on Eiry to fight for another three hundred rounds, determined to be a bright and hot light bulb.
However, with Lu Mingfei around, Eri basically doesn't play games with other people, and now that they're in a new place, Lu Mingfei will definitely take her out to play.
You can play games at any time, but the time you stay in a new city is very short.
After arriving in China, Eiry followed Lu Mingfei around everywhere. She hadn't stayed in one place to fully experience it, so naturally she had to seize every opportunity to travel.
So, she rejected Nuonuo decisively, using the standard sentence pattern Lu Mingfei taught her: "Next time for sure!"
After she finished speaking, she happily put on her small bag, picked out a few bags of her favorite snacks, took Lu Mingfei's hand and prepared to go out.
"What? Are you planning to stay here?" Lu Mingfei walked to the door and looked back at Nuonuo, who was still sitting on the sofa as if rooted to the spot.
"No, I was thinking about where I should take you as the host." Nono stood up very naturally and followed Eri, telling her about the fun places in the capital.
Eiry only understood half of what he said, but her eyes lit up the more she listened. She was excited and wanted to set off, but Lu Mingfei poured cold water on her:
"You're full and bored, and it's almost nightfall. Are you taking Eri to climb the Great Wall? Are you planning to camp at Badaling for the night?"
"You didn't say we should go now!" Nono curled her lips and turned to introduce the local delicacies to Eiry.
After shouting outside, everyone prepared to go out for a walk together. The disliked Caesar who was staying in the presidential suite upstairs also came.
It’s just that everyone has something on their mind, but Eiry is the only one with a pure mind, she just came out to eat, drink and have fun.
After finding a restaurant, Old Tang originally planned to ask if they had any soy milk, but thinking of what Lu Mingfei had said before, he gave up. He planned to trick Finkel and Caesar into trying the old Beijing specialty tomorrow, and decide whether to drink it or not based on their reactions.
Xia Mi was not present, and Caesar was wondering why she was not there. Chu Zihang said that she had something to do at home and had gone back.
After finishing the meal, the crowd dispersed in groups of three or four and strolled around Oriental Plaza and Chang'an Avenue.
There's no way around it, a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women gathered together is still too eye-catching, and they're easily onlookers wherever they go.
Chu Zihang was not in the mood to go shopping, and it would be boring to stay in the hotel alone, so he just found a coffee shop and sat on a rattan chair outside, enjoying the evening breeze to pass the time.
The lonely and beautiful boy instantly attracted the attention of many young girls. In the hot summer, they couldn't resist the urge to talk to him, and then they experienced what it felt like to be chilled to the bone.
Chu Zihang felt a little strange after repeatedly rejecting requests to exchange contact information. He had never encountered so many approaches when he went out before, so why couldn't he reject them all today?
Could it be that the love brain virus at Shilan Middle School spread too quickly?
Shaking the iced Americano in my hand, the slight clinking of ice cubes makes the memories ripple like the water in a stirred pond.
Many fragments suddenly flashed through his mind. He saw two figures sitting side by side in front of the French window of the library. The sunlight filtered through the blinds, leaving bright zebra-like marks on their bodies.
In front of the convenience store freezer, the girl leaned over slightly to search for her favorite ice cream flavor, her long hair falling from her shoulders in strands;
They also sat opposite each other outside a dessert shop, the glass window reflecting her sly smile as she stole a bite of his tiramisu, with cream on the corners of her mouth, forming a beautiful curve.
No matter how the scene changes, there is always a beautiful girl by his side.
Sometimes she wears a bohemian-style long skirt with her hair loose; sometimes she wears a timeless white shirt, washed blue jeans, and a high ponytail; sometimes she wears a simple white floral dress with her hair tied into a side ponytail in front of her shoulders.
The girl's face was still not clear, as if covered by a layer of fog, but one could clearly see the corners of her mouth and the curved eyebrows, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood.
In the background, the envious figures of other men and women flashed by.
Although in these pictures they are mostly separated by two fists, the interaction between them is more heart-pounding than any intimate contact.
It turns out that the memories between him and her are not limited to the cinema, aquarium and basketball court, but there are many little details that have not been discovered yet?
"How cunning."
Hid my entire youth.
The evening breeze blows past my ears, bringing with it the unique noise and warmth of the city.
Chu Zihang's eyes were empty, chasing those beautiful memories that had suddenly come to light for some reason. Just as he was guessing the reason, he found that the girl's unclear face suddenly removed the layer of mist, revealing her delicate and flawless facial features underneath.
Sure enough, it was the face I expected.
But that face seemed to become clearer and closer, as if it had walked from memory into reality.
Around the coffee shop, the girls who were looking at the handsome cold guy in twos and threes noticed that another person was trying to hit on them, and they were all ready to see him make a fool of himself.
Although she has a face so cute that people want to rub it, her figure is too thin and her clothing style is dull, making her look lifeless.
Some people even made bets to see how many seconds this beautiful girl could last.
However, to everyone's surprise, after the beautiful fairy-like girl appeared, the icy handsome boy who had not changed at all suddenly changed. His slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and his expressionless face looked like the iceberg thawing and spring returning.
"Why are you here?"
When that figure walked from the depths of his memory to the dimly lit area, Chu Zihang almost suspected that he was dazzled by the neon lights at night.
Didn’t they say her brother was terminally ill?
"I'm in a bad mood, so I went out for a walk."
Xia Mi was wearing a black T-shirt with cartoon prints, the hem of which was casually tucked into her denim shorts, and her canvas shoes made almost no sound as she stepped on the ground.
She was like a black cat slipping into the human world, nimbly passing through the web woven by the crowd's gazes, dragging a chair over and sitting next to Chu Zihang, leaning her head on his shoulder.
The girl's faint fragrance came over him, and her black hair fell on Chu Zihang's arms, and it seemed to fall into the lake of his heart, spreading out bit by bit like ink.
A slight electric current ran through his spine, and Chu Zihang was almost unable to maintain his expressionless face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
However, Xia Mi only leaned for a moment before straightening up and looking at him with a wrinkled nose: "Was that roast duck you just had?"
The moment I left, the remaining warmth on my shoulders was quickly swept away by the night wind, leaving behind an indescribable sense of emptiness.
But Chu Zihang still solved the problem instantly: "Have you eaten?"
"No." Xia Mi completely abandoned her pretense of deceiving others, and acted just as Chu Zihang remembered her, with a bit of arrogance:
"Take me to eat something delicious. I want to turn my sorrow into appetite!"
"Okay." Chu Zihang didn't bother to ask her what she wanted to eat. The scene that just flashed through his mind was the past when he had dinner with her.
When standing up, Xia Mi's hand naturally grabbed his arm, and then her slender body used the force to stand up.
Feeling the slightly cool touch on his wrist, Chu Zihang felt inexplicably heavy in his heart. It seemed that Xia Mi's brother was indeed very ill, so much so that she no longer took the game of hiding it from me seriously.
The night wind swept across Chang'an Avenue with the chirping of cicadas. The onlookers watched the lonely and beautiful boy and the suddenly appearing enchanting girl disappear into the night. Only then did they realize that his love was not sealed with cement, but that he was already taken.
Just looking at their backs as they left, no one could say anything jealous, they just felt that this was the most beautiful thing in youth.
“Crack!”
The shutter sounded, and Finkel, who was wandering around the streets with his camera taking photos to earn tips, finally took a photo of the two walking side by side, feeling deeply moved.
The most difficult boy to pursue in Kassel Academy fell so quickly. It turns out that childhood sweethearts plus a lover who comes from nowhere are invincible.
Looking back at the series of photos of Xia Mi walking towards Chu Zihang from the crowd and leaving side by side, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into the shape of a Nike logo.
The meal plan for the rest of my life is settled!
I was just about to follow and film it again to see if I could save some valuable historical materials, when suddenly the wingman in my pocket vibrated non-stop.
"Who is calling me at this hour?"
When he took it out, he found out that it was a spy from the Mission: Impossible series, the North American half-blood leader Henkel.
We haven't contacted each other for a long time. Why are you looking for him now?
"Hey, old man, what's up?" Before Finger finished his newly learned greeting, he heard Han Gao reveal a bad news -
The syndicates led by the Laurent family announced that they would join forces with Westminster Bank to crack down on the Society of Solomon's Temple. Other directors of Cassel College took the opportunity to jointly prepare to impeach Ange.
