Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 69

Father Meng's [-]th birthday was a big deal, but the old man always emphasized keeping everything simple, and said that he was an old man, who would come to such a boring banquet.Mengli had no choice but to book a box at the Crescent Hotel according to the old man's wishes.

"I haven't seen Huo's girl and Xie's boy for a long time, besides your friends, please invite them too!" Father Meng looked at Mengli's busy figure with deep eyes, and remembered Mengli's childhood .

Now that so many years have passed, the girl is now slim and graceful, and my old bones will turn into a pile of loess, what a pity!I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with the girl for long with my body... A trace of sadness overflowed my cloudy eyes.

"Oh, I got it!" Meng Li, who was counting the congratulatory gifts, took the time to reply, but she didn't look back.

Many years later, she thought, if she had looked back at that time, she probably would not have regretted it so much.

Crescent Hotel, box.

"Grandpa Meng, I wish you blessings like the East China Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan~" Huo Xiuxiu was still generous and sensible.

"The girl from the Huo family is beautiful again, not like that stinky girl from my family, she is becoming less and less cute." Mr. Meng sat on the main seat, smiling kindly, and curled his lips symbolically when talking about Meng Li .

"Grandpa, I just walked away for a while, and you said me again?" The door of the box was opened, and Mengli walked in with a resentful expression.

"Is there? You heard it wrong!" Mr. Meng pretended to be bewildered, and then asked, "When will your friends arrive?"

"They called just now, and they should be here soon," Mengli replied seriously, then tapped her head, seeming to remember something, and looked at Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, where did Master Hua go? Why didn't I see him?"

"I'm answering the phone outside!" Xie Yuchen pushed the door open and said hello to Mr. Meng who was in the main seat.

"Then why didn't I see it?" After staying in the underwater tomb for a long time, Meng Li's brain seemed to be flooded.

"I'm in the lobby, you are outside the box, can you see it?" Xie Yuchen expressed his dislike for Mengli.

"Yes, is it?" Mengli scratched her head in embarrassment.

"It's getting more and more stupid!" Xie Yuchen said in disgust.

Grandpa Meng and Xiuxiu sniggered aside, which made Mengli even more embarrassed.

"Dong dong dong," a knock on the door eased Mengli's embarrassment.

The door of the box was opened, Wu Xie walked in, and when he saw the old man in the main seat, he instantly became submissive.Fatty also changed his usual hippie smile today, and was very serious.The little brother is still the same, cold and indifferent.

"Grandpa, they are my friends, naive, fat man, and little brother." After speaking, Meng Li walked up to Wu Xie, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him not to be restrained.

"Uh, hello, Grandpa Meng! I'm Wu Xie, the one who speaks of Tianwu." Wu Xie was very shy, but emphasized his last name, as if he was afraid that the old man would think his name was "Wuxie".

Old Man Meng looked at Wu Xie and nodded, "Boy of the Wu family! The name 'Wu Xie' suits you quite well."

"Hello old man, I'm Wang Yueban, you can call me Fatty." The fat man scratched his head cautiously. The old man Mengjia used to be a famous figure in the Tao, so he must be serious and respected.

"Okay!" Old Man Meng nodded with a smile, and then turned his gaze to the young man who had been silent since entering the box.

The indifferent temperament made the old man nod in appreciation, but the aura around him and those deep and unwavering eyes made the old man frown.Such an aura... reminded him of a person.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the fat man hurriedly said, "Don't be offended, old man, my friend doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to deal with people very much, so he just keeps stuffy!"

"En! Sit down!" Old Man Meng said in a deep voice, suppressing the thought in his eyes.

……

A few young people, except for the younger brother of course, made the old man very happy.

"Boy from the Wu family, do you have someone you like?" The old man asked suddenly.

Mengli's heart skipped a beat, the old man was going to do something again.

Xiuxiu and Master Hua'er looked at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Not...not yet," although he didn't know why the old man asked this suddenly, but Wu Xie still responded politely.

"What do you think of my girl?" The old man cheerfully began to dig holes for Wu Xie.

"Grandpa," Mengli frowned slightly, wanting to answer for Wu Xie, "Wu Xie..."

"I didn't ask you!" The old man scolded.

Meng Li pursed her lips and stopped talking. The old man has a bit of a temper today.

The fat man suddenly realized, and said to himself, Comrade innocent, don't poach the little brother's corner!Then he glanced at the little brother next to him, scared!Don't change your face, it's amazing!Thinking about it again, the little brother has nothing to do with Mengli, it seems that he has been thinking wrongly.

"Wu family boy, tell me!"

"Mengli? She's very good! She's amazing!" Wu Xie praised innocently, and jumped into the pit just like that.

"Look at you..."

"Grandpa, I'm still young, can we not talk about this for now?" Mengli was embarrassed and helpless, she was only 22 this year, and she had already been urged to marry...

Unexpectedly, the old man was angry, and the sound of the crutches hitting the floor hit people's hearts: "What do you know?! Cough——"

"grandfather……"

"Shut up! Cough cough..."

"Grandpa Meng," Xiuxiu, who was sitting next to the old man, patted his back worriedly, comforting him, "Calm down your anger first, don't get angry and damage your body."

Mengli pursed her lips and looked at the old man with worried eyes. For some reason, since she came back from Xisha, she felt that the old man was a little weird. He always felt that his body was not as good as before.

Before she could think too much, Xie Yuchen said to her in a low voice: "Mengli, you can send Wu Xie and the others back first! You can also take them for a stroll in Beijing. There are me and Xiuxiu here."

Mengli glanced at the old man who was still angry, was silent for a while, then nodded: "Help me persuade grandpa, and - thank you!"

"Well, let's go!"

After Mengli left, Xiuxiu's voice was sobbing: "Grandpa Meng, you are not in good health, and Liuli has long since become independent. Don't worry about her too much. If you..." She didn't dare to continue.

"That girl is heartless, if I stop guarding her, she will be abducted sooner or later! Ahem..."

"Grandpa Meng, there are still us in Mengli, so don't worry too much. The most important thing now is your body," Xie Yuchen comforted.

After a long silence, the old man finally sighed silently.

Outside the Crescent Hotel.

"Sister, are you alright?" Seeing that Mengli's expression was a little off, the fat man asked worriedly.

"fine……"

"Young master!" Nan Feng hurried over.

"Well! Next, he will take you around Beijing. If you want to buy anything, put it in my account. It can be regarded as my host, who has done his kindness as a landlord." Mengli turned to Fatty and the others and said, "I still have something to do. I can't be with you anymore."

"Don't worry, sister! I'm also from Beijing, even if I don't have this brother, I can show them all over Beijing!"

Meng Li's eyes flicked over Xiao Ge and Wu Xie, and finally landed on Fatty.

The little brother is running around, there is a courtyard house in Beijing, he is half a Beijinger, Wu Xie is from Hangzhou, she really forgot, the fat man is a true Beijinger.

Looking away, Mengli nodded: "That's good, I'll go first."

Meng Li's back gradually drifted away, and the fat man was about to urge the younger brother to follow, but found that the younger brother was gone: "Hey! Where did the younger brother go?"

Wu Xie pursed her lips and said, "I've already left."

The fat man hurriedly looked, the little brother was walking in the direction Mengli left, so!Worrying again!

Then the fat man hugged Nan Feng's shoulders like two good brothers: "Brother, I, Fatty Wang, love making friends the most. Let's make friends! What's your name?"

Seeing the fat man's familiar look, Wu Xie was a little speechless.

"Nan Feng." Nan Feng replied indifferently.

The fat man's expression was a little frozen, he opened his mouth, and then asked with a playful smile: "Why do you let you come and take us around Beijing when you are young?" There was a lot of sarcasm in it.

"Do you know who I am?" Nan Feng glanced at him and asked without beginning or end.

"Nan Feng!" Fatty replied indifferently.

"The south of the east, west, north and south, the maple of the maple tree." Nan Feng said lightly.

"..." Fatty's expression froze for an instant, then he jumped far away in fright, and pointed at Nan Feng dumbfounded, "I - lean, lean, lean!"

"What's wrong?" Wu Xie was not only confused, but was also taken aback by the fat man.

"Do you know who he is?" The fat man pulled Wu Xie's arm with an excited expression.

"Nan Feng!" Wu Xie answered the same as Fatty just now, apparently he still hasn't figured out the situation.

"He's a heavyweight in the Meng family! How can a girl be overqualified?!" Fatty exclaimed, and then looked at Nan Feng with a gossipy face, "Did you offend you for being a young master?"

The corner of Nan Feng's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "I want to know too." Then the topic changed, "Beijing, where should we go?"

Wu Xie: "Antique Street."

Fatty: "Liu Li Pavilion."

"Where are you going?" Nan Feng looked at the two of them.

"Of course it's the Liuli Pavilion," the fat man said first, and covered Wu Xie's mouth to block his next words, "Naive, if you don't visit Mengjia Antique Store, you will be at a big loss!"

Wu Xie was a little hesitant, but she was also curious why Fatty was looking forward to Mengjia Antique Shop so much.

Seeming to see Wu Xie's doubts, the fat man said in surprise: "No, naive? Haven't you heard a saying in the antique world?"

"What, what?" Wu Xie scratched her head in embarrassment.

"When you come to Beijing, you don't need to participate in the auction of the New Moon Hotel, but you have to go to the Liuli Pavilion of Mengjia, otherwise you have come to Beijing for nothing!" Saying this, the fat man put Wu Xie on the shoulder, "Go , today the fat man will take you to learn more."

Nan Feng who was ignored by the side: "..."

……

Later, Nan Feng realized why the young master asked him to take Wu Xie and the others to visit Beijing...

When he makes a game, I make another game; when he plays chess, I play chess; when he makes a riddle, I make a riddle...

I don't believe it, I can't break his game, I can't win his chess, I can't solve his riddle!

Man can conquer nature, I can definitely change this ending!
