Chapter 27
Su Xuan was brushing sauce on the skewers when he noticed Lu Tao and Yuan Que suddenly stand up and leave in the corner. He asked in confusion, "Hey, they left so soon?"
Although the live broadcast has ended, it's only ten o'clock, which is still early for many people.
Su Xuan had originally planned to wait until they were free and take the opportunity to get closer to Mr. Yuan, but the two of them ended up walking away pulling each other?
Dad's face was full of helplessness and flushed, and he acted sneakily.
Zong Ning didn't even raise his head, and dealt with the skewers in his hand expressionlessly: "Let's go open the FANG."
Su Xuan: “?!”
He stared at Zong Ning with wide eyes.
Zong Ning said calmly, "Why would two lovers stop doing anything else in the middle of the night and come chat with you?"
Su Xuan suddenly got enlightened, as if by a flash of inspiration.
It's no wonder he didn't think of it. It's because he has rich theoretical knowledge but zero practical experience. He really couldn't think of that place to go for a while.
I didn't expect that Dad and Yuanque have progressed to this point - what a fast pace!!
Su Xuan was amazed. He looked at Lu Taoyuanque's back, then at Zong Ning, and said slyly, "You really understand."
"..." Zong Ning was speechless, "Isn't there a hotel in that direction?"
Going up this street, just across the road from the club where the movie star Fu Huanyu had an accident, is a bright five-star hotel. The lowest room rate is 1,088 per night, which is not affordable for poor people like them. Of course, for Yuan Que, it should only be a drop in the bucket.
but--
Su Xuan whispered, "Mr. Yuan is so rich, why not just go back home?"
There must be a bigger villa that is more comfortable.
Zong Ning's tone remained calm: "If they're in a hurry, the hotel will do just fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xuan saw with his own eyes that Yuan Que stopped and dragged the confused Lu Tao directly into the hotel.
Su Xuan: “…”
The young man is so full of vigor, can his father handle it?
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but said to Zong Ning in amazement: "You really understand."
Zong Ning: “…”
Zong Ning's forehead was throbbing with veins, and he couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "Um, could you be quicker?"
"Okay, okay," Su Xuan hurriedly continued to brush the sauce, but muttered, "No matter how fast we go, we still have to open until midnight before we can close the stall."
Zong Ning took a deep breath.
The hot air from the charcoal kept hitting his face, and even the air conditioner that Wen Yu had bought earlier was of no use.
Zong Ning hated the hot weather and felt like he was suffocating.
He said in a low voice: "Don't ask me to do this kind of thing next time."
Hearing this, Su Xuan paused, looked at him, curled his lips, and said, "Then what do you want to do?"
He chattered, "Wenyu's in training now. Xia Yan, Qi Hanyu, and Bifang are all working hard to run this barbecue stall, and Dad's also trying to get resources. What about you? After we hired the dance and vocal teachers, you still haven't come to the company, right?"
There were still many customers sitting down at the barbecue stall, and their laughter echoed in the night sky.
Behind the cart, there were only Su Xuan and Zong Ning.
As Su Xuan was talking, he whispered, "Zong Ning, what exactly do you want to do by being with us?"
Zong Ning's hand movements paused.
They never discussed this issue.
Su Xuan was the last one to join the Shanlegehai group, but he was the one who integrated into it the fastest.
According to Lu Tao, the first person to partner with him was Zong Ning, but now the person who is farthest away from this group seems to be Zong Ning as well.
He is always missing and no one knows what he is thinking or doing.
They seem to be the people closest to Zong Ning, but no one understands him.
This is really strange.
The phoenix should be a very friendly monster, and its nature is destined to make them love this world very much.
But Zong Ning's character seems to go against all the nature of the phoenix.
Indifferent, arrogant, and dismissive.
There was a silence between the two.
Su Xuan sighed and felt a little headache.
There are so many people in the company, but only Zong Ning often makes Su Xuan at a loss as to how to communicate.
He put the grilled skewers in his hand into the dinner plate, thought for a moment, and suddenly stopped. He faced Zong Ning and said, "Zong Ning, if you encounter any problems, you can tell us and we will help you."
Zong Ning froze: "...I don't have any problems."
Su Xuan frowned and looked at him: "You're lying."
Zong Ning's brows furrowed, and his tone became stiffer: "I said I have no problem."
"You've been lying all along," Su Xuan looked straight at Zong Ning. He was too lazy to play along with him at this moment and said directly, "Zong Ning, you are actually a first-generation monster, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Zong Ning's movements completely stopped.
There are many differences between the first generation of monsters and the second generation of monsters.
For example, the way of birth and lifespan.
The first generation of monsters are born from heaven and earth and can live for thousands of years; the second generation of monsters are just like ordinary humans, born from parents and have the same lifespan.
For example, the strength of spiritual power.
The spiritual power of the first generation monsters is not at the same level as that of the second generation monsters, but the more powerful the monsters are, the better they are at restraining their power. Therefore, many first generation monsters, such as Su Xuan and Lu Tao, usually restrain their spiritual power completely, but Qi Hanyu and others cannot do this.
Another example is the spirit core.
The second generation of monsters do not have this thing, but the first generation of monsters do. It is as important as the heart in their bodies, and is indispensable in their process of sleeping and rebirth.
In their entire company, except for Su Xuan and Lu Tao, the others are all second-generation monsters - this is what everyone has always known.
However, there is actually a third generation monster among them.
I'm afraid even my dad doesn't know about this.
——When Su Xuan came into contact with Zong Ning by chance one time, he felt the spiritual core in his body.
The spiritual core was quietly hidden deep inside Zong Ning's body. If Zong Ning hadn't accidentally revealed the flaw, no one in the company would have discovered the truth until today.
However, in the past, the degree to which Zong Ning's spiritual power overflowed was exactly the same as that of an ordinary second-generation monster.
Did he do this on purpose, or was he forced to do so because he encountered some problems?
Su Xuan didn't know.
He also wondered if he should just pretend he didn't know - after all, even if Zong Ning was cold by nature and was hiding something, Su Xuan knew that he had no ill will towards anyone.
So, if Zong Ning doesn't want to say anything, should Su Xuan also remain silent?
——At least before today, Su Xuan had always done this.
However, Zong Ning's whereabouts have become more and more strange recently, and Su Xuan can't stand it anymore.
Now is the right time to break through that layer of paper.
As soon as Su Xuan finished speaking, Zong Ning froze there completely.
Su Xuan also knew that it was very abrupt for him to suddenly point this out, but since he had already mentioned it, he had to make it clear.
He said helplessly, "What on earth do you want to do? I always feel like you're looking for something. Can't you really tell us and let us help?"
After hearing this, Zong Ning twitched the corners of his lips and said, "Do you think I'm looking for something?"
"Otherwise, why don't you do any work all day long? What are you doing outside?" Su Xuan was really puzzled.
Zong Ning lowered his eyes: "No, I'm not asking you a question, I just think you're right. Maybe I'm looking for something, but so far, I don't know what I'm looking for."
Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. He asked tentatively, "Have you lost your memory like me?"
Zong Ning exhaled, scratched his hair, gave up struggling, and confessed, "You lost your memory because your spirit core was shattered, right? I'm different. My spirit core has always been fine, and I only have one memory that's broken. Someone told me not to worry about that memory, and that I'll remember it when the time comes, but..."
Having said this, Zong Ning stopped again.
This was the first time he confessed this to someone, and it made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, his situation is very special and cannot be explained in a few words.
He also knew that Su Xuan suddenly brought up this topic today not because he had any dissatisfaction, but because he cared about him.
Zong Ning finally looked at Su Xuan and said, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about anything. I did encounter some problems in the past, and those problems have not been solved to this day. But it's just a matter of time. When the time is right, the problems will be solved. I'm not deliberately hiding my identity, it's just that my spiritual power is only at this level now."
Su Xuan was stunned.
It can't be a simple problem to reduce the spiritual power of a first-generation monster to this extent.
But Zong Ning's words reached such an extent that Su Xuan could only frown and say, "Okay, as long as you're sure you're okay..."
After a pause, he said solemnly, "But if you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you must tell me and Dad!"
"Yes," Zong Ning couldn't help laughing when he said this. He raised his eyebrows and said, "But first of all, you asked me what I really want to do. I really don't want to do anything. Didn't Lu Tao tell you? I told him when I first met him that I don't like making money. I think making money is annoying."
"..." The atmosphere suddenly took a sharp turn, catching Su Xuan off guard. "No, how can you live without making money? Why can you talk so openly about liking to idle around?"
Zong Ning sneered, "If I don't explain it clearly, you might ask me if I have some sad past that caused me to lose all my love for life. So I'm telling you clearly today: no, I just hate working."
Su Xuan: “!!!”
Damn, this is the ultimate deadbeat in their company!
How can such a handsome guy be so shameless as to act like a salted fish!
Pixiu is not allowed!
Su Xuan was Spartan, and was about to give Zong Ning a lecture on the importance of money, when suddenly the spiritual power watches on his and Zong Ning's wrists began to ring -
Not only the two of them, but also Qi Hanyu and Bifang in the corner not far away, everyone's spiritual power meter sounded.
In the corner, Fu Huanyu was chatting when he heard the strange watch on Bifang's wrist making a sound. Bifang immediately lowered his head to check something and frowned.
Fu Huanyu's eyes turned, and he asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay..." Bifang said this, but raised his head and looked towards Su Xuan and Zong Ning.
At the barbecue stall, Qi Hanyu, Lao Li, and Chen Ying had already finished researching their makeup for tomorrow. When the spirit meter beeped, Qi Hanyu was stunned and turned around and shouted, "Brother, it's ringing!"
"I see, I see." Su Xuan and Zong Ning looked solemn.
...because they discovered that the spiritual power explosion location indicated by the spiritual power meter dial was directly in front of their night snack stall, two hundred meters away...
— Damn, isn't that the five-star hotel Dad and the others just entered?!
The corners of Zong Ning and Su Xuan's mouths twitched. At this moment, both of them had a bad feeling in their hearts.
The two looked at each other - who should they send?
On the side, Qi Hanyu, who heard the spiritual power meter ringing for the first time, stood up excitedly, as if it was finally his turn to take the stage.
Bifang, who was not far away, saw this and wanted to come over with a serious look on his face.
Little cat Xia Yan didn’t wear a spiritual power watch today, but he heard the sound and stood up in a daze.
——But how can I let more people know that my dad and my boyfriend went out to have a FANG?
Su Xuan acted decisively, twitching his lips as he stopped them: "Well, Zong Ning and I will leave for a while. Han Yu, Bi Fang, you guys come over and take over and help out!"
Qi Hanyu was stunned and immediately became indignant: "Why don't you let me go again! Xiao Song abandoned me last time, are you going to abandon me completely in the future, Brother Su?"
Su Xuan: "Little kid, sit down!"
Qi Hanyu: “?!”
Bifang was sensible. As soon as he saw the subtle expressions on Su Xuan and Zong Ning's faces, he knew that they probably had some unspeakable secrets. He immediately spoke to Fu Huanyu and came over and said, "Brother, you guys go ahead. Han Yu and I will watch over here."
Qi Hanyu was unhappy. He stood up stubbornly and said, "No, I must go with you this time—"
Before he could finish his words, he saw Su Xuan and Zong Ning taking off their aprons and running away!
Qi Hanyu: “???”
Why don't you play with me?!
Qi Hanyu's mentality collapsed!
*
It’s a distance of two hundred meters, just two steps.
When entering the hotel, Su Xuan was still panting and wondering, "Is that Dad? But wasn't he out with Yuan Que... or something? Why did he suddenly burst out with spiritual power? Did something happen? Damn, I forgot to take my phone. I was going to call and ask."
It's true that caring too much makes you confused.
"Let's go up first." Zong Ning looked at the spiritual power meter. The spiritual power meter showed that the explosion site was above them. Estimated distance was about the eighth or ninth floor.
They seized the opportunity and followed a resident into the elevator.
The guest swiped his card and pressed the floor he wanted to go to. Zong Ning pressed the eighth floor first.
The elevator was very fast, and fortunately, after reaching the eighth floor, they found that they had overlapped with the trajectory indicated by the spiritual power meter. If they turned left and ran ten meters, they would reach their target location - Room 807!
The two stopped at the door and could feel the surging spiritual power coming towards them.
The level of spiritual power released is definitely not something a second-generation monster can possess, and can this five-star hotel have a second first-generation monster at this moment?
Almost instantly, Su Xuan was completely certain that the person in the room at this moment was definitely his father!
But my dad is a first-generation monster. Is there any problem that he can't solve that causes his spiritual power to collapse and leak out?
Su Xuan and Zong Ning both tensed up, and at that moment, they had many fantasies in their heads.
Could it be the original sparrow? Is there something wrong with the original sparrow?
It is so powerful that even my father cannot deal with it. Could it be that Yuan Que is also a monster?
But if one can restrain the spiritual power to the point where they are completely undetectable, only a first-generation monster can do it!
Is Yuan Que a first-generation monster? He has a grudge against his father, so he deliberately approaches his father, waiting for his father to fall in love and be off guard, and then he takes advantage of the opportunity to make a move...
Su Xuan's hands began to tremble.
Zong Ning held his shoulders and said solemnly, "Don't be nervous. No matter what you see later, you must stay calm. If even you collapse, who else can take on the battle? Don't forget, my current spiritual power is only at the level of a second-generation monster."
Su Xuan took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Yeah."
After calming himself down, Su Xuan solemnly pressed the doorbell.
"Ding-ling-ling", a string of cheerful bells rang.
After pressing the doorbell, Su Xuan was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "Will no one answer the doorbell?"
If there was blood flowing everywhere and Dad lying on the ground, the murderer Yuan Que would definitely not come to answer the door.
It’s a bird, a bird. It must be a bird demon. Maybe it has already escaped from the window!
And just as Su Xuan thought, the doorbell rang for a few seconds, but no one in the room responded.
Su Xuan couldn't bear it any longer. He felt that everything inside was finished. He couldn't help crying out loudly, "Dad!!"
Zong Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Break the door open!"
Su Xuan: "Oh, but how much compensation do I have to pay for damaging the hotel room door?"
Zong Ning: "You can't ask the hotel staff to open the door, right? What if Lu Tao is in his original form?"
Su Xuan: "Woo, you're right!"
Zong Ning made a quick decision: "Break the door, carry Lu Tao, and I will transform into my original form, and we will escape through the window—"
Before he could finish his words, the door opened with a click.
Su Xuan and Zong Ning stopped.
The door was only a crack open.
After a second of silence, the sound of the voice was faintly opened...
And from behind the door, Lu Tao appeared silently.
He was only wearing a pair of underwear, with his shoulders and head drooping, his face pale as if his life had come to an end, and there was no light in his eyes.
Seeing the two of them, he could only murmur like a ghost: "Ah... Ah Xuan... Ah Ning... You are here..."
Su Xuan was stunned and rushed forward to support Lu Tao: "Dad, are you okay?!"
He nervously checked Lu Tao's body.
Zong Ning immediately passed Lu Tao and rushed in, scanning the entire room with a sharp gaze...
Then I was confused.
He turned around and asked in confusion, "Where are the Yuanque people? Why are you the only one here, Lu Tao?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan immediately rushed into the room and froze in shock.
Indeed, there was not a single bird in the entire room.
There were only two night lights on beside the bed, creating a dim and ambiguous light.
One could vaguely see the clothes of two people scattered on the ground, and one of Lu Tao's pants was thrown onto the sofa.
The bed was in disarray, and a toy that had not yet been unpacked was hanging on the edge of the bed, clearly showing what the two people were planning to do.
No, the clothes were all taken off, the condoms were all out, but where was the original person? Why was Dad alone? And Dad was so upset?
Su Xuan's mind raced, and he immediately became sad again -
It must be that Yuan Que took off his clothes and realized that he couldn't stand up to his father, so he ran away!
He ran away without even having time to put on his clothes!
Who wouldn't be devastated by this?!
Su Xuan turned around, pressed Lu Tao's shoulders, and said sadly, "Dad, don't be sad. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come. Goodbye, the next one will be better..."
Lu Tao was dejected: "Well, I want to say goodbye to the world."
Su Xuan was startled and said sadly, "It's just a broken heart. Don't give up on your life!!"
Lu Tao smiled miserably: "Well, life, there is a life in my belly..."
Su Xuan collapsed: "Dad, no matter how much you love Yuan Que, you can't imagine that you are pregnant with Yuan Que's child before doing anything! Have you been reading a lot of BL novels about childbirth recently? Let me tell you -"
Zong Ning held Su Xuan down.
Su Xuan broke away from him and continued, "Dad, I'm telling you, you can't take this kind of novel seriously. You—"
Zong Ning couldn't stand it any longer: "Su Xuan, look at this!"
His finger pointed at Daddy's belly.
Su Xuan took a closer look and saw a few ambiguous red dots on his father's belly, some of which were almost reaching the edge of his pants.
He was greatly shocked and turned his head away, saying, "Where are you looking?"
The veins on Zong Ning's forehead began to throb. "No, you're already kissing me this far, how can you run away? Shouldn't you have known whether you can kiss me or not when you took off my clothes?"
He was almost led astray by Su Xuan.
Su Xuan's computer crashed, and he began to ponder at a loss the question of how far a man must go to understand whether he is straight or gay.
On the other end, Lu Tao smiled bleakly: "Well, I forgot to tell you, I actually went to bed with him the first night we met."
Su Xuan was shocked: "You're still showing off your affection to us at this time?"
"..." Zong Ning felt like his endurance was being tested to its limits. He took a deep breath and asked, "So? Since everything went smoothly on the first night, what happened tonight? Where did he go?"
Lu Tao raised his hand and touched his belly with lifeless eyes: "I told you, there is a life in my belly..."
Su Xuan and Zong Ning: “???”
The two were a little confused and opened their mouths to ask.
But suddenly, they reacted and their expressions gradually became shocked.
They looked at Lu Tao's belly in disbelief.
Lu Tao looked at them, his expression twisted, almost like he was laughing and crying. He was almost going crazy: "Haha, haha, that's amazing, isn't it? I just accidentally-"
"—and swallowed him whole!"
Su Xuan and Zong Ning took a deep breath.
Su Xuan subconsciously looked at Lu Tao's butt.
Lu Tao's face turned green: "Not there!!"
Oh yes, TT hasn’t been dismantled yet.
Su Xuan came to his senses and hugged his head, saying in disbelief: "Dad, even if you are a glutton, you can't eat everything!"
Hearing this, Lu Tao also trembled and hugged his head, crying completely: "I know, I know! I was just so excited that I couldn't hold it back!"
"What should I do now?" Lu Tao muttered in a panic. "I put him into my space capsule just in time, so he's still alive and well in my stomach, but I don't dare let him out! How am I going to explain to him that he swallowed his boyfriend whole while they were kissing?!"
Lu Tao collapsed: "He will know that I am a monster! How can he, an ordinary human, accept such a thing?!"
