Chapter 77: One sentence, let my brother-in-law chase me for two blocks (Please order first!!!)
"It's drizzling outside the window again, and I'm quietly missing you, even though I no longer have you.
I keep telling myself that the past is the past, although I still can’t forget you…”
The song echoed in the carriage. The bearded guide hummed softly along with the car stereo, which made Lu Mingfei's scalp tingle:
"Brother, let's change the song. It's a bit too emotional."
Just now he was still reminiscing about the sweet past with his wife, but when this song came out, all the sweet moments became sour.
The good mood was gone in an instant.
“Ah?” The guide was stunned at first, obviously not understanding what Lu Mingfei meant. However, the service industry has always followed the principle that the customer is God, especially since this God is arranged by the one who pays him, so he cut the song without saying a word.
Soon, a more melancholy melody sounded: "I will leave you gently, please wipe away the tears from the corners of your eyes..."
Lu Mingfei: (_) How do you know that I was preparing for winter before my rebirth? Was it intentional or accidental? Are you kidding me?
The guide was an assistant by profession and had an excellent ability to read people's expressions. He glanced at the rearview mirror and realized that he had played the wrong song again, so he quickly changed it to a cheerful one.
"How about this one, is it okay?"
When he first met the person, he tried to communicate with the boy in the back row, but the other party was not very enthusiastic about the conversation, and the words "I want to be quiet" were almost written on his face.
But it is understandable that after traveling across the ocean to look for parents who have been missing for many years, one would definitely not like to listen to such a song full of separation and sadness.
"Sorry, I was a little sensitive just now." Lu Mingfei shook his head and continued to look sideways at the street outside the car window.
The final stop of the bus was a hotel near the Lyon Opera House. At this time, the scenery along the way had begun to become vaguely familiar, and the memories of this place were dug out bit by bit in his mind.
That was about two years after I knew my wife. Their relationship had long since surpassed that of friends and had even reached the level of lovers. The only thing missing was an opportunity for her to formally express her love for him.
His original plan was to organize a grand fireworks show at the beach to make up for the regret that his wife was frail and sickly when she was a child and had never been able to participate in the fireworks display.
He believed that no girl could resist his passionate confession under the brilliant fireworks with his name written on them.
But when he went to ask his brother-in-law which beach in France was suitable for setting off fireworks, the topic somehow turned to something strange.
The man who always looked serious and solemn suddenly talked about his dream of selling sunscreen on a nude beach, and he even almost opened a store there in partnership with someone.
At the time, Lu Mingfei didn't know whether he was shocked or had a brain spasm, and he actually said that the fireworks display for the confession should be held at Montalive Beach.
Lu Mingfei dared to swear that it was the first time that he so intuitively sensed the existence of murderous aura, and it was also the first time he knew that there were two real samurai swords with sharp blades hidden under the counter in his brother-in-law's store.
The closer he got to the Paris Opera House, the clearer Lu Mingfei's memory became. He still remembered that after passing the intersection in front and turning two corners and crossing a bridge, there were the two streets where he was chased by his brother-in-law with a knife.
Thinking about how his elder brother-in-law almost went to jail because of this matter, and how the two heirloom swords were almost confiscated, he couldn't help but smile.
Although some time was wasted because of the brother-in-law chasing them with a knife, the postponement of the confession ceremony did not affect the two of them being together.
Besides, she was a shy girl. It took a lot of effort to trick her into having dinner with her fellow villagers, let alone a beach with so many people around.
Thinking of the girl in a long skirt, holding her crystal sandals, walking barefoot on the soft beach with her hands behind her back, staring blankly at the brilliant fireworks exploding in the night sky, tears quietly sliding down her cheeks, Lu Mingfei wanted to open the door and run over to see her with the bike.
With a "squeak", the car tires rubbed against the ground violently, making a teeth-grinding sound. Lu Mingfei's body suddenly leaned forward but was pulled back by the seat belt.
"What the hell, you can't see such a big green light?!"
The guide in the driver's seat slammed the brakes, lowered the window, and started swearing at several men in black who suddenly rushed out and crossed the road in front of them.
Perhaps he didn't know that Lu Mingfei could speak French, so his curses were a bit dirty, but after cursing for a long time, the group of people didn't respond. They ran away from the other side in a hurry and disappeared into the depths of the street.
He had no choice but to restart the car and drive forward: "I'm sorry, I didn't scare you. The French are used to being free and undisciplined. Sometimes they treat the road as their living room."
"It's okay." Lu Mingfei shook his head. Just as he was about to say that foreigners were famous for seeking death, he caught a glimpse of something in the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye.
I saw a tall girl with short hair walking out from the place where those men in black had just rushed out.
Although it was only a moment and he couldn't even see the face clearly, Lu Mingfei still caught a glimpse of the golden light in the other's eyes.
Was that someone from Kassel College, or some other wild hybrid? Lu Mingfei turned around and looked back, and found that the girl had quickly crossed the traffic and was chasing after the running man in black.
The other party disappeared too quickly and there were cars on the road blocking his view, so Lu Mingfei was unable to find the Half-Decayed World Tree badge on the other party that symbolized his identity.
He pressed the pen in his pocket and sat back down without thinking any more.
As long as they're not looking for me, it's fine.
The car arrived at the destination quickly, and the guide asked Lu Mingfei if he was hungry and if he wanted to eat first.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The latter looked around and found a KFC at the end of the street, so he asked the store to pack a family bucket for him.
When they are in love, many girls will give their boyfriends the snacks they can't finish and ask them to finish them for them to avoid wasting food.
Although Lu Mingfei's wife looks slim and slender and has a small appetite, she is actually a real foodie.
When eating with her, not to mention cleaning up the battlefield, if Lu Mingfei eats slowly he might even have some meat taken away by his chopsticks.
Moreover, as a stay-at-home girl, she also loves fat-house happy water, fried chicken, French fries and hamburgers, and often drags Lu Mingfei to eat KFC and McDonald's.
This is really hard for him.
My wife practices kendo to keep fit on weekdays, and the more exercise she does, the more calories she burns. Lu Mingfei is a gamer, and it's easy for him to gain weight because he sits still all day, but he's forced to eat a lot, so he has to exercise with her.
After washing up and finishing the fried chicken in no time, Lu Mingfei said hello to the guide, saying that he was sleepy and wanted to go to bed early, and would go out with him to play the game of "Little Mingfei Looking for His Mother" tomorrow.
Then he changed his clothes, took a long-handled umbrella, quietly walked out of the hotel, and headed towards Notre Dame de Fourviere in Lyon.
Both the shop opened by the eldest brother-in-law and the home of the two brothers and sisters are in that direction.
Just as he was hurrying along in trepidation, expectation, and a little hope that was almost extravagant, the voice of the long-legged girl came from a hazy shadow above the hotel:
"Sanwu girl, let's make a bet. I bet that boy must be going to see a girl he likes. The expression on his face is exactly the same as those boys who confessed to me!"
"Not interested." Another figure hidden in the dark realm shook his head slightly, took a step forward and jumped off the roof: "Follow."
The long-legged girl let out a "tsk" sound, then jumped down from the roof. Two translucent black mists looked like lonely souls in the night, floating down on the outer wall of the hotel.
In the KFC in the distance, a tall and strong man licked the ketchup that accidentally got on his hands, asked the waitress for a packaging bag, then pushed open the door and strode away.
