Chapter 21 Chapter 21 The man with a lump in his throat and in a trance...
The place where the dazed man appeared was the tennis court.
Lin Jianyuan was not familiar with the terrain nearby and could only head in that direction based on his feeling.
There were few people living around here, and it was late at night. Lin Jianyuan ran all the way here and didn't see anyone, let alone a ghost.
Of course, Lin Jianyuan didn't want to see a ghost.
When Lin Jianyuan finally ran to the tennis court panting, the court was empty.
A huge lamppost stood tall, illuminating the entire tennis court.
Lin Jianyuan stood in the middle of the tennis court, surrounded by silence.
He suddenly felt lonely, as if he was the only one left in the world.
What's wrong with him?
He just saw a white figure flash by on the subway, so why would he really run down without caring about anything?
I'm obviously exhausted from work.
“…Damn.” Lin Jianyuan laughed at himself, shook his head and left the tennis court.
I just rushed out of the subway on impulse. Now that I think about it, how could it be such a coincidence?
He just glanced out the window and happened to see the dazed man?
Maybe it's just hallucination. He's already so crazy now, thinking about it during the day and hallucinating it at night? Hahahaha.
Now, I can’t even catch the last bus.
Lin Jianyuan sighed and was about to take out his phone to check the navigation when he suddenly heard an extremely angry voice coming from the sidewalk not far away.
"Why do you want me to go even though I'm already on sick leave? Do I have to go just because I'm nearby? I'm not the only one nearby!"
Lin Jianyuan: “…”
Such a familiar plot.
As the violent voice got closer, Lin Jianyuan finally saw the figure under the street light.
He was a tall young man, wearing a loose sweatshirt and jeans, dressed like a cool guy.
He also wore a mask under the baseball cap, covering most of his face.
However, the mask and hat could not hide the fury on his face.
"Why can't I transfer to this department without me? ... Damn it! The department's lack of staff is your problem, not mine! If you're short of staff, just go and recruit! Why are you picking on me alone?!"
"Don't talk to me about dedication! We said it was just a side job, that I'd come over to help out in my free time, and now what? Don't you see how much trouble I've messed up my main job because of you guys?!"
"Anyway, I'm not going! Okay, stop talking. If you have time to talk nonsense with me, why not go find someone else?"
After saying this, Cool Guy hung up the phone angrily.
He raised his eyes and happened to meet Lin Jianyuan's gaze.
"Calm down, bro. We all have stupid bosses."
Lin Jianyuan pointed to the convenience store across the street and said, "I'm going to buy two bottles of beer. Can we sit down and have a drink together?"
The cool guy raised his eyelids and looked him up and down.
His gaze lingered on Lin Jianyuan's office worker outfit for a second, and then he looked at the time, and he instantly understood.
Cool guy said decisively: "Okay."
So, the two strangers came to the tennis court, each carrying a bag of beer.
The tennis court is empty late at night, and there are countless seats in the audience for you to choose from.
The two of them sat down in a random place and started to complain about their lives.
At first they were a little awkward, but under the influence of alcohol, both of them quickly opened up.
"Really, I was just too stupid. I was fooled by them from the very beginning."
Cool guy said depressedly, "I was told about ideals, honor, and responsibility. Why did I believe it at the time? I was still too young."
Lin Jianyuan: "How old are you?"
Cool guy: “23.”
"Oh, that's certainly young. How long have you been doing this?"
"Which one do you ask? Main business or side business?"
"You're so young and starting a side hustle. You really work hard."
"It's just because of life," Cool Guy said with a self-deprecating laugh. "My main job has always been my dream. I've wanted to do this since I was a kid... Never mind, I'll just be frank."
The cool guy suddenly took off his baseball cap, revealing his face that had been hidden in shadows. "I've always wanted to be an actor since I was a child."
"Are you a star?" Lin Jianyuan was surprised.
Cool guy: “.”
Lin Jianyuan: “.”
The atmosphere became a little awkward. Lin Jianyuan coughed and said, "I'm sorry, I don't usually watch movies..."
The cool guy's mouth twitched slightly: "I haven't made a movie yet. I don't have enough resources."
Lin Jianyuan: “.”
Cool guy: “.”
Lin Jianyuan: "I don't watch TV dramas that much, uh, or variety shows that much either."
Cool guy interrupted him and said, "My name is Shi Shaoning."
Lin Jianyuan: “Oh oh.”
Cool guy: “.”
Lin Jianyuan: “.”
The atmosphere became awkward again.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a second. The cool guy put his baseball cap back on his head, extremely annoyed: "I should have known not to say it! This is so embarrassing!"
"Hahahaha!" Lin Jianyuan felt that the distance between them was suddenly shortened.
He laughed heartily and said sincerely, "I was wondering, you looked so handsome just now, the kind that even a mask or a hat can't hide. So you really are a star!"
With a snap, the cool guy opened another can, tilted his head back, gulped down two gulps, and continued with the previous topic: "I've been in this industry for five years. I filmed my first movie when I was 18. Actually, it wasn't my first movie, I was just playing a small role at that time. Then I finally encountered an opportunity..."
Lin Jianyuan listened to the cool guy's story while drinking beer and eating peanuts.
It's clear that Ku Ge really wants to be a good actor. It's a pity that his acting skills are not up to expectations.
Recently, a TV series starring him was released, but it was criticized on the first day of its broadcast: the heroine performed very well, but the hero was just not good enough.
This generation of netizens are very venomous. Although Cool Brother has fans who speak up for him and praise him highly, this is not what he wants to see.
He actually knows his own worth.
But acting skills are not something he can improve overnight just because he wants to.
Lin Jianyuan comforted him, and Ku Ge also reciprocated by asking him about his work and why he had to work overtime until this late.
Lin Jianyuan: "It's because my boss is an idiot..."
Just then, bang!
The sky in the distance suddenly lit up, and strange lights kept flashing.
Lin Jianyuan subconsciously looked over and asked in surprise, "What day is it today? Why are people setting off fireworks?"
"What fireworks? Where are the fireworks?" Cool guy squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, that's a battle effect, don't worry about it. Do you want to see it? I'll set off some for you too."
As he said that, he put down the beer can and stood up shakily.
Lin Jianyuan suddenly shouted, "Hey Peng You, your drinking capacity is the same as a small cup! After pouring two beers in, your head spins like a top!"
Shi Shaoning: “???”
Lin Jianyuan burst into laughter. After he had finished laughing, he remembered something and shook his head, saying, "No, you're a celebrity, you need to manage your body. You don't usually drink, do you?"
The cool guy seemed not to hear what he said. He lowered his head and fumbled in his pocket for a long time, with a puzzled expression on his face.
He thought for a while before reacting, and then he suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot I was still on sick leave and didn't bring anything with me."
Lin Jianyuan: "You can transform. What kind of warrior are you?"
Cool Guy was about to answer, but suddenly he became alert and said seriously, "I can't tell you because I'm a special secret field team."
Lin Jianyuan gave him a thumbs up.
Good, good, this guy’s worldview is also very complete!
In the distance, fireworks were still rising into the sky, lighting up a large area of the night sky, as if a magnificent celebration was taking place.
Lin Jianyuan and the cool guy sat together in the audience seats of the tennis court, complaining about their boss, idiots, and troubles at work. They drank and talked, feeling that they had met too late.
Cool Brother couldn't hold his liquor well, so Lin Jianyuan saw that he was already drunk, so he patted his shoulder and said, "That's enough. Let's stop here for today. Are you okay? Can you go back alone?"
Cool guy nodded.
Lin Jianyuan was about to say they'd meet up next time when Cool Guy pulled out his phone and said, "Add me on WeChat."
Lin Jianyuan smiled and said, "Okay."
Today, two people took the initiative to add him on WeChat, but the person he should exchange WeChat with is still rejecting him.
Lin Jianyuan suddenly thought of his roommate for some reason, and his heart suddenly felt blocked.
His roommate was really weird. He had a good temper and was easy to talk to, but he refused to add her on WeChat.
Were all the pleasant interactions we had before just the courtesy of roommates?
Even offering to accompany him to the hospital?
Damn, to be this polite, he really is a modern college student.
The thought of this made him feel annoyed. Lin Jianyuan decided not to think about it anymore.
After the two exchanged WeChat messages, Lin Jianyuan said goodbye to Ku Ge.
Just as he was about to leave, the cool guy suddenly called him and asked him to wait.
Lin Jianyuan: "What?"
Cool guy was mumbling something, but Lin Jianyuan couldn't hear it clearly. He only heard something like "too close".
He fumbled in his pocket and finally pulled out a small bottle. He sprayed it on Lin Jianyuan a few times and said, "This is safer."
The air was instantly filled with the strong smell of floral water. Lin Jianyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you doing? You scared me. I thought you were going to knock me out and kidnap me."
Cool guy was stunned, looked down at the toilet water spray in his hand, and said as if waking up from a dream: "Awesome, why am I working overtime again."
Lin Jianyuan: “?”
Forget it, what else is there to say to a drunk person?
Lin Jianyuan held back his laughter and said goodbye to him again.
The cool guy took an online taxi and left. Lin Jianyuan looked around, wondering whether to scan a shared bike or call an online taxi, when a familiar voice suddenly rang in his pocket.
"Fuck! Who are you?!"
Lin Jianyuan: “???”
Lin Jianyuan felt a strange movement in his pocket.
When I took it out and looked at it, I found that it was the Snail Fighting with the small stone.
Nienilele: "Who are you? This is my territory! You dare to break in and you're looking for death!"
Little Stone: "Really? I'm sorry, I didn't know. I just happened to pass by. I'm really sorry if I offended you. It was just a misunderstanding, I didn't mean any harm."
Niggle: "??? You mean I'm wrong?"
Little Stone: "No, no, I didn't say it was your fault. But if you are very angry, just bite me! As long as it makes you feel better..."
Nian Nian Le: "I@#……!%%@!!!"
Nienile bit it in frustration.
Snap! The snail's teeth shattered all over the floor.
The unharmed little stone began to apologize frantically again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot I was very hard, I shouldn't have let you bite me, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Nienilele: "F*ck you!%@!@@@!!"
Seeing that Nienile and Xiao Shitou were about to fight again, Lin Jianyuan frowned, picked up Nienile with his left hand, threw him to the ground and stomped him flat, then grabbed Xiao Shitou with his right hand, stuffed it into the medicine mortar and hammered it hard.
“Ah—don’t—”
“Ahhhhhhhhh—”
The squishy music and the little stone made sharp popping sounds at the same time.
Two minutes later.
The flattened toys and broken stones slowly began to return to their original shapes.
Lin Jianyuan: "Honest now?"
Nianlele & Little Stone: "Hmmmm!"
Nodding frantically.
Lin Jianyuan: "Still fighting?"
Nianlele & Little Stone: "Hmmmm!"
Lin Jianyuan: “Hmm?”
Nienile and Xiaoshitou realized that something was wrong and started shaking their heads wildly again.
After all, it was August, and even though it was late at night, Lin Jianyuan was sweating profusely after all this operation.
He picked up two small decompression toys, one in his left pocket and one in his right pocket, and walked slowly towards home.
As they walked, the phone in their left pocket called out cautiously, "Lin Jianyuan."
Lin Jianyuan: "Speak."
Nudge: "I seem to have lost a part of my memory. I only remember going to the hospital with you, and then in the blink of an eye we were here. Why is it dark now? It's so scary! What's going on? A world with heretics shouldn't also be haunted!"
Lin Jianyuan: "I know. Because I took too much medicine."
Nie Nie Le: “Huh???”
Lin Jianyuan was too lazy to explain.
How can I explain my hallucinations?
Late at night. Lin Jianyuan's bedroom.
The flesh-red shade arrived as expected.
“Hey! This isn’t—!!”
The small stone on the table let out a sharp explosion, and Nienile grabbed its mouth.
"Shut up! You're so ignorant!" Nienile scoffed, "It's just an S-rank, haven't you seen it before?"
"Mmmm!" Little Stone trembled in fear.
"Learn from me and play dead like me!"
Nie Nie Le lowered his voice to the lowest level, "Don't disturb S-Class while he's eating!"
"Mmmmm!" Little Stone nodded frantically.
Click.
The eating over there suddenly stopped.
Nie Nie Le & Little Stone: “!!!”
The two decompression toys looked towards the bedside with trepidation, only to see that the S-rank heretic who had swallowed the entire human head in one gulp was slowly spitting out the human head.
The intact human head was wet with digestive fluid, and its eyelashes and cheeks were shiny.
The two decompression toys had even thought about how they would die, but they saw that the digestive system didn't even look at them, but just opened its mouth wide and put the intestines into its throat.
Dig and dig, dig and dig.
He took out a black crystal from his throat.
Digestive system: "."
Pinching Music & Little Stone: “.”
The digestive system is silent.
The digestive system stares at the crystals.
The digestive system is baffled and feels like a lump in the throat.
So it rolled up the crystal with its intestines and stuffed it back into its mouth, chewing it with a crunching sound.
Until the black crystal is completely chewed and broken into pieces, and then savored carefully.
The digestive system then turned its "head" and looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed in confusion.
"WeChat?"
