Chapter 139 - Hints and Coordinates
Chapter 139 - A Hint and a Coordinate
The next day, Yu Zhou came to have dinner with Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong and to "witness the destruction process", thinking that the atmosphere between the two would be weird. Unexpectedly, the atmosphere between them was quite natural. Duan Yunhong doesn't look like a STK who is about to be dumped. He is emotionally stable and doesn't even try to be stubborn. Yu Zhou's eyes turned and he understood. It must be that Ning Fei was giving this stubborn lover some "sweet treat" again.
——But since the person is leaving soon, how can I give him any sweet treats...
Yu Zhou glanced at Ning Fei with a puzzled look, and Ning Fei looked at him calmly.
Yu Zhou still could tell something was wrong with him.
However, as Ning Fei's teacher, Yu Zhou would not question his own people in front of Duan Yunhong. When the dinner was almost over, he suddenly asked Duan Yunhong: "Speaking of which, after Ning Fei left, did Mr. Duan leave too?"
Duan Yunhong replied vaguely: "About the same."
"Almost?" Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows. "You are not still planning to ruin my mission, are you? Are you just waiting for Ning Fei to leave?"
Ning Fei turned his head and stared at Duan Yunhong.
"I'm bored?" Duan Yunhong was really impressed by Yu Zhou's ability to instigate others, or perhaps his influence on Ning Fei was really too great. But Duan Yunhong knew that he had no way to deal with it at the moment, and blindly interfering would only backfire on him, so he endured it.
At least unless it is necessary, don't confront Yu Zhou in front of Ning Fei.
"Just don't be interested in my mission, and you can do whatever you want with the rest." Yu Zhou paused, "Oh, and don't do anything that will upset Old Yue, thank you."
Ning Fei couldn't help but complain: "Love brain."
"Whatever you say, I'm the only one who can mess with my things, you know." Yu Zhou shrugged, "Okay, I'll stop talking about this. When will Mr. Duan do anything with the mark?"
Duan Yunhong and Yu Zhou looked at each other, and Duan Yunhong spread his palms and said, "Now is the time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a spot of light condensed from energy floated above his palm. Ning Fei can feel a kind of echoing force, while Duan Yunhong and Yu Zhou will only have a certain "sense of foreign objects" - this is the positioning mark derived from Ning Fei's origin, which allows Duan Yunhong to cross countless worlds, accurately locate Ning Fei in the multiverse, and use it to jump through space.
Duan Yunhong stared deeply at the mark that accompanied him across three worlds, then hid the fluctuations in his eyes and turned his head to look at Ning Fei again: "Did I take action?"
Ning Fei nodded.
The next moment, Duan Yunhong clenched his right hand and clenched his fist, and the mark was crushed by his strength.
It was so direct that not only Yu Zhou, but even Ning Fei was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
The mark that had connected the two for so long was gone. Although it had no real impact on Ning Fei himself, the sudden disappearance of that "sense of existence" inevitably made people feel empty in their hearts.
Ning Fei unconsciously raised his hand and touched the brooch.
Yu Zhou and Duan Yunhong both noticed his action.
"... Really straightforward. This is the first time I've seen a lucky bandit who keeps his word." Yu Zhou commented, then looked at Ning Fei, "Let's go out and talk?"
"You don't have to go out. I'm leaving." Duan Yunhong guessed that Yu Zhou was going to give Ning Fei instructions again, but he was in a good mood and was too lazy to argue with Yu Zhou. He stood up and patted Ning Fei's shoulder: "Message me if you have anything."
Ning Fei did not comment, so Duan Yunhong took it as his consent and left the box.
Yu Zhou watched the door click shut, and without delay, he turned around and asked, "What's going on between you two?"
"What's going on?" Ning Fei looked calm as usual, "That's it."
"Isn't that right? I'm very familiar with Duan Yunhong's state. He's like a tamed and comforted dog." Yu Zhou leaned back in his chair and folded his arms, "You 'ceded territory and paid compensation'?"
Ning Fei sneered: "Very imaginative."
"Still pretending?" Yu Zhou raised his hand and pointed towards his chest, "What is that?"
"It's just a brooch."
"An ordinary brooch? Don't bluff me." Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows. "Although I can't sense anything at the moment, with the ability of the bandit, it shouldn't be a problem to cover up this abnormality. So, he broke your mark and gave you a 'dog tag' in return?"
"That's really harsh." Ning Fei saw that he had pointed it out, so he simply stopped pretending to be confused and leaned back lazily on the chair. "What's so strange about the things given by a bootlicker?"
"'Dog licker'? Do you dare to say that to his face?"
"Or I'll call him back now and say this to your face."
"You are so stubborn, and you still say that he was tamed by you." Yu Zhou sneered, "No way, you were still stubborn before, saying something like 'just treat him as the financial sponsor you used to be'. When he came, you gave in so easily?"
"I told you, you think too much." Ning Fei's fingers flicked the brooch, "This is just a one-way location for him. Oh, if I inject my power into it, I will also summon him over."
"...Fuck, he took the initiative to give you the location?" Yu Zhou was really a little surprised, "Even the 'dogs' I tamed may not provide me with their satellite location."
"Yue Fengping won't give it to me either?"
"No. But didn't I say that my method of control this time is different? I don't need to keep track of his movements at all times, and I won't always take the initiative to report my situation to him. I want him to think about me all the time, always can't help asking me, and take the initiative to report to me." Yu Zhou smiled, "Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you. What does he want to do by giving you his location? Waiting for you to change your mind?"
"That's about what it means." Ning Fei said, "'Once you look back, you can always see me' - haven't you heard such disgusting words?"
"Tsk, don't mention it. I'm thinking of that idiot in the Administration..." Yu Zhou said, "So, that idiot really confessed to you?"
"No, I won't let him. I don't want to hear it."
"What kind of story is this..." Yu Zhou complained, "What are you going to do next? Since you've accepted this thing, you shouldn't have no feelings for him at all, right?"
"... Let's talk about it later." Ning Fei didn't directly refute this time, but just replied calmly, "He has been around for too long. It's easy to have illusions when you always see him. After a few worlds of missions, who would still remember this matter and this person?"
"Leave it alone, handle it coldly, hey, we are really the same kind of people." Yu Zhou smiled, "But you don't need to push yourself too hard, it's not a bad thing to follow your heart occasionally. You didn't dare to make mistakes before because you were afraid of dying if you lost, but now you won't. If you die, at most you can be resurrected by the Administration and then fined some luck, what's that?"
Ning Fei just said: "I know what's going on."
Yu Zhou complained: "How many farts do you have..."
Ning Fei sneered: "Don't give me orders. You have those crappy romances and you still have the nerve to guide me. It's not like you can be called a teacher just because you have had many romances."
"Okay, okay, we're both the same, so let's not blame each other." Yu Zhou said, "Seriously, just be careful about your own safety. First, be careful of the bandits themselves, and second, be careful of idiots like Chong Lin who report you to the Administration. Of course, I can't save you if you're reported, so you're on your own."
"You're the one who's talking nonsense? I can't count on you." Ning Fei responded, "With my KPI, the management bureau won't have nothing better to do than target me, unless there's irrefutable evidence."
Yu Zhou sneered: "That's right. When are you going to leave?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"You're leaving after you're done playing? Then I won't see you off. I guess it'll take some time before I go back to settle the accounts, and then I'll give you my share of the mission."
"Got it, go to sleep. Call me next time if you need something like this, Boss Yu."
***
Yu Zhou originally thought that this would be the last time he would see Ning Fei in this world, and also the last time he would see Duan Yunhong. After all, he and the bandit had no common ground, so there was really no need for them to meet.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, Duan Yunhong sent me a message inviting me for an interview.
When Yu Zhou first saw this message, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly looked through his contact list, and sure enough, Ning Fei's name was no longer there. His call records and message records had disappeared without a trace. When the tablet checked the personnel on the OA system, Ning Fei's identity was also gone.
——So, Ning Fei had just left and he came to talk to me right after?
Yu Zhou asked back: [What to talk about? 】
Duan Yunhong: [Just chatting. We can just meet at lunch, it won't take too much of your time. 】
Yu Zhou remembered that Ning Fei did not refute his words yesterday, "You should not have no feelings for him at all", so he pondered for a while and decided to "meddle in other people's business".
[Okay, let’s meet in the cafeteria for lunch.] 】
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. The two of them took their lunch trays and sat at a table in the corner of the company cafeteria.
It is a public place where others will not approach and disturb you, and you can respond to an acquaintance immediately. It is a good place for two strangers to have a casual chat.
"Tell me what you want." Yu Zhouyuan poured the mapo tofu into the rice and said casually, "Let's finish the conversation and leave soon."
Duan Yunhong didn't hesitate and asked directly: "You are Ning Fei's teacher, you should know his past, right?"
"So what if I know, so what if I don't know. What does it have to do with you?" Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows, "You want to inquire about this from me? Why don't you ask Ning Fei himself?"
"I want to talk to him, but he doesn't want to." Duan Yunhong replied bluntly, "Whenever it comes to him, he will say the same catchphrase as you do and completely interrupt the topic."
"Then you think I will tell you? You shouldn't be so naive, Mr. Duan." Yu Zhou said jokingly while holding the bowl of soup, "Or are you going to ruin your luck again?"
Duan Yunhong said: "If you think this is okay."
"Dream on!" Yu Zhou finished his soup, put down the bowl with a sneer, "Dealing with people outside the Administration behind the scenes, selling colleagues' information, even a lucky bandit should know how serious a crime this kind of 'information leakage' is. Do you think I'm stupid enough to make such a big mistake for a little bit of luck?
"Besides, you bought Ning Fei's information. No matter how bad I am, I can't betray him for a bandit like you. Did you stay here just to find me to find out about these things? Aren't you too naive?"
"I don't need you to explain in detail, just some clues will do." Duan Yunhong said, "I can see that he has had problems in his intimate relationships or even in his romantic relationships before. He pretends to be a playboy who plays with the world and seems to care about nothing, but in fact he dares not take another step closer. It seems that if he takes one more step, he will be pierced by some sharp thorns. I want to confirm whether he has been hurt in this regard, so that I can avoid his weak spots."
"Don't think that I will think you are right just because you talk a lot." Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows. "If you want to avoid the pitfalls, why don't you just do less annoying things? You still want to get information from me indirectly and take shortcuts? If you want to be a bootlicker, then rely on your own efforts. Don't do such opportunistic things!"
"I know very well that if I adopt a conservative strategy, it will be impossible for me to take another step. So there are some things I must do, and I will not hesitate to do them just because I might make mistakes." Duan Yunhong rarely smiled in front of Yu Zhou, and he was a little crazy. "I came to ask you about it because I wanted to try not to make him angry and sad. If you don't say anything, then I will act at my own pace. If I make a mistake, I can always make amends."
Yu Zhou sneered, "You are a dog who gave away your location on your own initiative. How can you be proactive? Stick out your tongue and hope that others will look back at you!"
"He really told you everything." Duan Yunhong was mocked by him continuously, but he didn't get angry. He just said, "But he accepted my location, which shows that this thing has a chance. You should also know this. So, how about it? Give me a hint, or let your students be tried and failed by me again and again?"
"You dare to use him to make mistakes? I think you are tired of living!"
"I said, I won't give up easily." Duan Yunhong stared at Yu Zhou, "I just need a little hint, and your precious student will be happier. Or do you just want to keep your secret admirer hanging and make him never get out of your shadow?"
"Don't provoke me with this sentence. I know better than you what is good for him." Yu Zhou was annoyed by his determined look. But there was one point about Duan Yunhong that Yu Zhou agreed with, and that was his proactive offensive strategy of not being afraid of rejection.
——And Ning Fei must have been a little reluctant to accept the location marker...
Yu Zhou's mind went through many thoughts, and finally he said, "I'll give you the coordinates of a world -
"I won't explain anything, just go and see for yourself."
