"It's all right, you can all go."
Young Master Lu drove them away with a cold face. Facing two searchlight-like gazes, he had no desire to explain.
Even if the secretary was as curious as a cat scratching its head, he didn't dare to go too far on the territory of his boss. He left with regret, hoping that Chu Jingheng would be more capable so that he could gossip about him later.
The secretary left,
but Chu Jingheng was not so easy to get rid of. As one of Lu Haozhi's few good friends, even though he didn't know Lu Haozhi's other identity, he and Lu Haozhi were iron-clad buddies and were not afraid of Lu Haozhi's indifference.
One drove people away, and the other refused to leave. The stalemate made a lot of noise and woke up the sleeping beauty in the bed.
Luo Xi opened her eyes and saw Lu Haozhi's expressionless face.
Lu Haozhi: "Awake? How do you feel?"
Chu Jingheng pushed him away, "I should be the one asking this question, I'm the doctor."
He looked at Luo Xi with a smile: "Little beauty, are you dizzy and sick? If there is anything wrong, you can tell me."
Luo Xi blinked and asked slowly: "...Where is Pikachu?"
Lu Haozhi: "..."
Chu Jingheng: "..."
Chu Jingheng scanned Lu Haozhi with his eyes: Is there something wrong with the beauty you are attracted to? You are still keen on cartoons at such a big age? If I remember correctly, Pikachu seems to be a yellow fat man who can discharge electricity. Could it be that he was electrocuted?
Lu Haozhi had a little understanding of Luo Xi's brain circuit, and after a little thought, he realized that the Pikachu in this guy's mouth refers to that man.
Thinking about what that man would think if he knew that he had turned into Pikachu, Lu Haozhi's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
That man is not an ordinary person. His background as a ghost fighter is a bit tragic, but his past experiences are unimaginable for ordinary people. Don't look at the man's young age, the bloody smell on his body is strong enough to show that he has taken many difficult lives.
What's more, he is a sub-species of human, a sub-species of human with natural talents.
Most sub-species of human are like Gong Xu, who can only turn into beast form, and are no different from ordinary people in other aspects. But there are also very few sub-species of human, who have some abnormal abilities.
For example, that ghost fighter has the ability to discharge electricity, which is not very powerful, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
For example, Lu Haozhi himself, in addition to his slow growth in cat form, also has some special abilities.
Existences like them are very rare, and there are not many in the entire world. I didn't expect such a rare subspecies of human beings to be reduced to ghost fighters.
This also shows from another aspect that even if subspecies of human beings have special abilities, they are not the legendary monsters with the power to reach the sky and the earth, and they are basically unable to compete with modern weapons.
I don't know what the man's beast form is, but it is definitely not Pikachu.
...
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Luo Xi did not continue to ask.
She noticed that Lu Haozhi's right hand was injured, not like an ordinary injury, but more like a fight. Thinking of the man's skills before, Luo Xi looked at Lu Haozhi and asked, "You saved me?"
Lu Haozhi sat upright on the sofa and nodded gently. He glanced at Chu Jingheng who was sitting next to him and watched the show, and signaled with his eyes, "Why don't you get out?"
Chu Jingheng straightened his back, pulled out a perfunctory smile, and replied to him, "I want to protect the chastity of the little beauty."
Luo Xi stared at his wound and thanked him seriously, "Thank you."
Seeing that Chu Jingheng was determined not to leave, Lu Haozhi couldn't beat around the bush and said directly to Luo Xi, "Isn't it too insincere to just say that I saved your life?"
Chu Jingheng looked at him in shock.
Shameless, actually asking for a favor from the little beauty! You can't be so naked if you covet someone's beauty!
No wonder he didn't let me treat his wound just now, he actually had such a shameless thought!
Luo Xi was thinking wrongly, she didn't think about beauty at all, thinking that humans would be rewarded for picking up a mobile phone, she replied very straightforwardly: "I will pay for your medical expenses."
Lu Haozhi didn't seem surprised by this answer, and suggested casually: "No, you should just sing to pay for it."
Chu Jingheng almost choked: "..."
He felt that his brain circuit was in a different world from these two people!
What the hell is singing, isn't it too bad to use this as an excuse!
Lu Haozhi slightly modified his words and said that he had a pet cat who especially liked to listen to her singing, and would sneak out to find her every now and then. In order to put an end to this bad habit of the pet cat, he asked Luo Xi to come and sing for the cat. As for how he discovered Ai pet's bad habit, this point was not made clear.
Pet cat?
Chu Jingheng looked at him suspiciously. When did Young Master Lu raise a cat? How could he not know.
Lu Haozhi ignored his friend's suspicious gaze. In order to prevent the vest from falling off, he did his best.
It would always be a problem to turn into a cat and go to Batian Entertainment. Instead of going on like this, it would be better to coax Tang Luoxi out. As long as she agreed, he would buy a black cat as a pet tomorrow. Ai pet listens to music, and he, the owner, is not abrupt next to it.
Perfect solution to the vest falling off and headache problems.
"So you raised that cat."
Luoxi muttered. She thought of the little golden dragon's bad attitude towards the black cat, and silently lit a wax for the little golden dragon.
She felt that the little golden dragon would never have a chance to get close to its idol in this life.
"What do you think? You can live here, no need to run back and forth, I will pay you. And going back to Batian Entertainment now will only cause trouble for Mr. Feng, and those people are not something Mr. Feng can deal with."
Considering that Batian Entertainment was so dilapidated that it had no alarm system, Lu Haozhi suggested that Luo Xi live directly here. This apartment building has a high safety factor because most of the residents are rich people. The apartment is big enough, so there are so many rooms to choose from.
Luo Xi has been very busy recently, with Director Li's movie, the cooperation with the Qin family, Gong Xu forcing her to practice singing, and having to deal with the elusive black cat, which reduced her time to soak in the water and made her feel a little depressed.
She was a little hesitant after hearing Lu Haozhi's suggestion. Considering the danger of the man tonight, it was not appropriate for her to continue staying in the company. That man and the forces behind him were coming for her. As long as she continued to live there, Batian Entertainment would become a target.
She was not the only one living in the company. There were also Aunt Zhao and the security guards. Even the boss and the secretary would occasionally stay overnight. If that man came again and ran into the boss, they would definitely not show mercy.
It's very dangerous, but there are ways to avoid it.
Luo Xi thought about it, and finally shook her head and suggested in a different way: "I'll record it as an audio, and you play it for it?"
Lu Haozhi obviously didn't expect to be rejected outright. He looked at Luo Xi deeply, "No."
He tried it, but the audition audio he got from Gong Xu was useless. Only by listening to her singing in person can he relieve his headache.
Luo Xi thought this human was so willful, "Forget it, you can let Xiaoguai come to me like before."
Lu Haozhi paused: "... Xiaoguai?"
Luo Xi: "The black cat's name, I gave it to him."
Lu Haozhi: "..."
Shouldn't he be glad that this name is much better than Pikachu.
Lu Haozhi took a few deep breaths before putting the shameful "Xiaoguai" behind him.
Seeing that Luo Xi refused to agree, he suddenly changed his words and said reservedly that he had a super luxurious luxury bathroom at home, a bathtub as big as a small swimming pool, and a variety of SPA water therapy functions.
The XX water theme park that has been particularly popular recently was opened by him.
He also has many islands under his name. As long as Luo Xi can help him solve the problem of pampering, he can give her an island with a sunny beach.
...
Chu Jingheng couldn't look his friend in the face at this moment. After knowing Lu Haozhi for so many years, this was the first time he knew that his tricks for picking up girls were so fresh and unconventional.
Forget about using pampering as an excuse, but what the hell is a luxury bathroom and a water park?
Isn't it usually a matter of spending money and resources? As the person in charge of the Lu Group, isn't it too cheap for you to spend this kind of thing!
Only the last island is still good enough, but for a female star in the entertainment industry, a deserted island is not as good as a mansion in the capital.
Only a fool would like what you mentioned. I am not a country turtle, who are you trying to fool?
Chu Jingheng turned his head to look at Luo Xi, and was shocked.
Luo Xi's eyes were sparkling, and she changed from her previous listlessness. She sat up straight unconsciously, leaning forward slightly, and asked softly: "Really?"
Luo Xi sat on Lu Haozhi's big bed. Lu Haozhi was standing by the bed at this moment, looking down at her. When she leaned forward like this, she was just a small one in Lu Haozhi's perspective, looking at him with her face slightly raised. Her
originally beautiful eyes were round and bright, with clear black and white as if there were stars falling in them.
The eyelashes were as long as a small fan, casting a layer of shadow on the cold, white and tender skin. The red lips were unconsciously half-opened, which was particularly foul!
Lu Haozhi was inexplicably paused, and for some reason he thought of a popular term on the Internet - the boyfriend's perspective.
It is said that from this perspective, girls are so cute that it makes people feel distressed.
Lu Haozhi used to sneer at this statement, but now he feels weirdly that it is damn wrong.
Luo Xi looked at the man who suddenly lost his concentration in front of her in confusion, and asked again unhappily: "Are you really going to give me an island?"
Lu Haozhi looked away uncomfortably, and felt his throat was a little dry. He coughed lightly: "As long as you agree, you can choose any one you want."
After getting the confirmation, Luo Xi nodded very straightforwardly, "Okay, I'll sing."
When she has an island, she will let the nurses live on the island, and there will be a group of cute dolphins. Having an island means you can soak in the water anytime and anywhere, and no one will nag you. The vast sea water is more comfortable than a swimming pool filled with the smell of disinfectant...
Thinking of this, she was immediately happy, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Lu Haozhi was different. This was
the first time she agreed to Xiao Jinlong's recommendation.
People who are stupid, rich, and generous, seem to be called... um... a sponsor?
Labeling Lu Haozhi as a "sugar daddy", Luo Xi deeply remembered a human male for the first time.
Compared with Boss Feng who cried every day about poverty, and compared with Gong Xu who was rich but always whipped her to learn this and that, only Lu Haozhi's style was particularly different. After
Luo Xi was dealt with, the corners of Lu Haozhi's lips slightly curled up on his face, which was always calm and peaceful.
The amplitude was very small, almost fleeting.
Chu Jingheng did not miss this little turmoil in his friend. He wanted to scold him for being a beast, but turned his head to look at Luo Xi's expectant expression.
He could only sigh with all his complaints: "..."
It was indeed his problem. His thoughts were old-fashioned and not perverted and bold enough, so he couldn't keep up with their train of thought.
Friend's 'cheating' The beauty was already too much, but she took the initiative to fall for a broken island!
This kind of weirdo is rare. I have seen people asking for cash, resources, luxury houses, sports cars, and jewelry, but I have never seen anyone asking for a broken deserted island.
To be honest, the island is not worth much.
There are many small islands in the Pacific Ocean. A small island in Northern Ireland is only sold for 140,000 pounds, which is converted into Chinese money, just over one million. Any luxury house in the imperial capital is several times more expensive than this. Is
n't she afraid that something terrible will happen if she lives with a humanoid beast! Although Chu Jingheng was confident that Lu Haozhi would not force himself, he always felt that something unexpected would happen...
In order to avoid going to jail to see his friend in the future, Chu Jingheng asked Luo Xi seriously: "Um...how old are you? Are you an adult?"
Luo Xi thought about it and nodded slowly: "I am an adult."
She has lived for hundreds of years. Although she is still a minor in the Siren clan, it seems that humans are adults at the age of 18.
Chu Jingheng wiped his face and said, "Okay, as long as you are an adult."
If you are an adult, then at least it is consensual if something happens. It is a rare opportunity for his brother to be tempted to do something when an adult man and a woman fall in love, and he should not hold on to it.
Chu Jingheng motioned Lu Haozhi to step aside to talk, and reminded him seriously: "Remember to wear a condom."
Lu Haozhi's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Chu Jingheng was kicked out of the apartment. He was dizzy when he left. As a medical fee, he received a peace charm from Luo Xi as a gift.
His friend's painting style was weird, and the beauty that his friend liked was also not normal.
As a doctor, and a surgeon who mainly practices Western medicine, it was the first time for him to receive such a peace charm from someone.
And it was not as mysterious as imagined. The little beauty just picked up a piece of white paper and drew for Lu Haozhi on the bed!
This was too casual. It looked like she was playing a trick on him.
Chu Jingheng held the amulet in his hand. He was not moved, but full of complaints.
Where was the cinnabar yellow paper as promised? There was none!
After drawing, they just folded it up and gave it to him. There was not even a plastic cover!
Bad review!
As a firm materialist and a part-time psychologist, Chu Jingheng has also come into contact with many patients who claimed to have seen ghosts.
Most of them were subconsciously imagined in fear after doing something shameful. A small number of them are truly mentally ill. Not to mention "seeing ghosts", they claim to have seen everything, including gods, God, Maria, prehistoric monsters, and aliens from outer space.
Sometimes when treating patients who claim to "see ghosts", he would also use Taoist things such as amulets to calm the patients' minds.
This is a kind of subconscious transfer therapy. When the patient believes that the amulet is useful, under the suggestion of the subconscious, they can recover quickly with the help of drugs.
Chu Jingheng never thought that one day he would receive the amulet that he used as a prop to fool patients, and it was a particularly unreliable one. It looked so bad that no one wanted it when he used it to fool his patients.
He casually stuffed the amulet into his pocket to avoid embarrassing him in person.
Chu Jingheng did not drive a car. When he came tonight, Lu Haozhi's secretary drove him here. The only way to go back now is to take a taxi. He stood downstairs of the apartment building and waited for a while, but didn't see any empty taxis.
Thinking that it would be easier to get a taxi at the intersection in front of here, he strolled over there with his hands in his pockets.
This area is considered a commercial district, and it is still very lively even at night.
It is said that this part of the commercial district was a group of ancient buildings hundreds of years ago, and it was quite prosperous at that time. There are no buildings left now, only a little bluestone road surface, which is covered with glass by the cultural relics protection unit. A monument is erected next to it, introducing what dynasty it was left over from.
Chu Jingheng walked along the bluestone road surface. Because there are ancient building sites on this road, it has been transformed into a pedestrian street. You have to pass through here to get a taxi.
Many businesses on the pedestrian street were closed, and many mobile stalls were set up on the street, all selling late-night snacks.
Chu Jingheng felt a little hungry, so he walked along the night market stalls, buying a little here and a little there, and soon he had a lot of food in his hands. There was barbecue, fried cold noodles, fried snails, tripe, chicken shredded cold noodles, iron plate tofu, fried skewers and so on.
He was not a person who treated himself badly, so he bought everything because he wanted to have a taste of everything. He asked the stall owner who sold cold noodles to give him a big plastic bag, put the food neatly in it, ate while walking, and took the unfinished food home.
Passing by a stall selling egg-stuffed pancakes, the smell hit his nose, so fragrant that he sniffed it, and paid for a pancake from the stall owner.
The lady selling egg-stuffed pancakes saw that he was holding a lot of food, and jokingly asked him if he brought them for his girlfriend, praising him for being considerate and caring.
Chu Jingheng smiled and didn't respond. He was a single man, where would he get a girlfriend from?
The guy next to him who was also buying a pancake glanced at him and pouted. He
was dressed so formally to go out for a midnight snack, so pretentious.
The guy was in his early twenties, with messy hair, wearing slippers, and exuding a strong otaku vibe.
Chu Jingheng noticed the guy's gaze, but didn't care.
Those who can live in this area are all rich people, either they have worked hard for it, or their ancestors have been blessed and their families are rich.
This guy is a typical example of the latter, his family is rich and has no financial pressure, he is spoiled and indulged as a stay-at-home. All year round, his favorite thing is to stay in his room and play games, and occasionally go out just to buy a midnight snack.
Chu Jingheng is completely different from this type of person. The guy thinks he is pretentious, and he also thinks that this guy's attitude towards life is not positive enough.
The two look down on each other and don't communicate.
The aunt who makes cakes didn't feel the undercurrent between the two at all. She looked at Chu Jingheng's handsomeness and chatted with him while making cakes for him.
The old lady enthusiastically praised her own egg-stuffed pancakes, claiming that they were authentic and had been sold here for hundreds of years. Old customers praised them for being delicious.
Chu Jingheng listened casually, smiled and agreed with her a few times, but did not refute.
Egg-stuffed pancakes originated in the Jinzhong area of Shanxi Province. If we really talk about authenticity, it would never be the imperial capital. And they have been sold here for hundreds of years?
What was this place like hundreds of years ago? Does the old lady really know?
Chu Jingheng paid the money, waved goodbye to the old lady, carried a bunch of food, and ate a hot egg-stuffed pancake. Glancing at the bluestone pavement covered by glass on one side, he shook his head with laughter.
Hundreds of years ago, this was a special official road. It was the official road for the royal family to enter and exit, and the emperor to ride out of the city. Occasionally, victorious generals would take a walk here. It was a place that vendors, peddlers, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter. Were people
selling egg-filled pancakes here hundreds of years ago? That's ridiculous.
The pedestrian street is not too long. The street lights on the right side of the road suddenly flashed a few times, as if they were in poor contact and flickered.
Chu Jingheng glanced at his watch, and the hour and minute hands were exactly at twelve o'clock.
It's already twelve o'clock...
The street lights flashed a few more times, and the light and shadow were dim. He glanced at the bluestone road surface again from the corner of his eye and was stunned.
The remains of the bluestone pavement covered by the glass didn't seem to be that long. He had walked such a long distance after buying the egg-stuffed pancake, how could he still see it?
Chu Jingheng looked straight over there. There was no bluestone pavement on the ground. It was clearly the white and green tiles on the pedestrian street.
"Am I seeing things?"
He took a bite of the pancake and thought that he might have been dazzled. The light was not good, and he probably mistook the green tiles for bluestone pavement.
As they approached the intersection, there were fewer night snack stalls on the roadside. There were fewer people and fewer mobile vendors. Without the lights on the stalls and a few broken street lights, the light here was much dimmer than before.
Chu Jingheng finished the pancake and looked for a trash can to throw away the plastic bag containing the pancake. He saw a slightly tall square black shadow not far ahead, thinking it was a trash can, so he walked a few steps towards it.
When he got closer, he saw that the square object was not a trash can at all, but a slightly tall stone pillar with an antique shape and patterns on it.
Chu Hengzhi felt a little strange while holding the plastic bag.
There is such an antique object on this pedestrian street?
This place has been built into a commercial district. Because there is a small section of ancient bluestone pavement, the facades of the surrounding businesses have also been built in antique styles. The road surface has been widened a lot compared to hundreds of years ago. It has always been clean for people to walk on. There are at most a few antique trash cans on both sides. How could there be a stone pier in the middle of the road?
Putting it here abruptly, isn't it blocking the road?
Chu Jingheng complained a few words and walked forward.
He found that this thing similar to a stone pier was not just one, but there was one every few sections along the road.
Could it be newly built?
What is the use of putting such a stone pier here? It can't be used as a chair for people to rest their feet.
Chu Jingheng was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps behind him.
He looked back and saw the guy who had just been disrespecting him at the egg pancake stand.
The guy hadn't finished the egg pancake in his hand yet, and there was still some sauce on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Chu Jingheng tremblingly, "No, something is wrong. Why are there stone pillars here? There can't be any. I didn't see them the last time I went out!"
Chu Jingheng didn't care: "Maybe it was just built."
Just based on the deadbeat aura of the guy, it was probably a long time ago that he went out last time.
The guy muttered absentmindedly: "Just built?"
When was the last time he went out?
Half a month ago?
Or more than 20 days ago?
It seems reasonable to build a row of stone pillars in such a long time, but the guy looked at the row of stone pillars and always felt that something was wrong.
This stone pillar looks old, and the antique look is too realistic.
There are dark spots on it, as if it was splashed with ink. The dark spots on each stone pillar look different. Some are large patches, while others look like they are just splashed with dots.
What are these dark spots? Art creation?
