Dragon Clan: Reboot Life

Chapter 145 Waiting for Dawn to Rise ([-])

Many years ago a man in disguise came to this city.

He is proud, lonely, and powerful. He is a heterogeneous creature hidden in the human world, possessing the most powerful violence. With that kind of power, many things are at his fingertips.

He is a bloody man who has been to many cities, met many people, and perhaps killed many scum.

He has seen the vastness of this world, so this small city is a kind of bondage to him.

But due to a certain purpose, he had to stop in this small southern city.

He walked in this city like a lone wolf walking in a sheepfold. He may have had many romantic experiences, but he never thought that he would really fall in love with anyone.

Do wolves fall in love with sheep?

The answer seems to be yes.

Because this lone wolf really fell in love with a little white sheep named Su Xiaoyan.

It might have been one afternoon, someone gave him a ticket casually, and he took the ticket without taking it seriously and went to the cultural and sports hall in the city center, and met that woman named Su Xiaoyan.

There is no old-fashioned plot of a hero saving the beauty, and there is no frighteningly bright spark from the intertwined eyes, just a flat glance at her, and then I fell in love with her.

People usually call this kind of love love at first sight.

Chu Zihang suddenly remembered that his younger brother said that everyone in this world has [-] people who fall in love at first sight, but you may not meet one of them in your lifetime, because the world is too big.

That man traveled to so many cities and places, but he never met one in [-], until he came to this remote southern town.

Is this fate?

It's meant to be you.

Even though there are [-] women in this world that I would fall in love with, they all disappeared from my world before meeting you.

Did men think so at the time?

Because it was fate, so he went on it without hesitation. It was too easy to chase a beautiful and stupid female dancer with his ability. They got married and gave birth to a child. Everything was perfect. It was really like a fate. song of joy.

But fate is always unpredictable.

When the corner came around, the man finally woke up from his dream.

He is a person who licks blood at the tip of a knife, unable to give his wife and children a peaceful and happy life, so he can only disappoint his dear wife time and time again, and finally bid farewell to his wife and children.

He didn't leave the city, because the mission was not over yet, but he didn't know when the danger would come, so he could only hide in the dark to protect his wife and son.

Chu Zihang stood silently in front of the wooden board, looking at the photos filled with thumbtacks.

The angles of these photos are stolen, in the amusement park, in the shopping mall, in the restaurant, across the grass, through the glass, through the rain... The characters in the photos are women and children without exception, Su Xiaoyan when she was young And Chu Zihang who was still a baby face.

The mothers in the photos show many kinds of appearances, smiling, staring, and lonely, like mothers, little girls, and wives.

Grandma said his mother was a hairy girl. What is a hairy girl?Just like a boy with no heart, he sleeps when he is full, and sleeps when he is full. He is beautiful and has no worries.

But under the lens of that man, my mother has so many changes, no matter which change is beautiful, it is heart-stirring.

Maybe only the man who loves her the most in this world can pay attention to every moment of her and keep every moment of her beauty forever.

Chu Zihang's hand lightly brushed the photos on the board. In the center of the board, a woman with short hair and an eleven or twelve-year-old boy were standing by the river watching the sunset.

The woman with short hair is so beautiful, the little boy is so cool, the mother and son are bathed in the golden sunset, the river is gurgling in front of them... as if they are waiting for someone to come back.

Chu Zihang could even imagine the scene of that man hiding in the grass and stealing pictures. That flirtatious man who loves cigars, whiskey and listens to Elvis, in order to have a picture of his wife and son, he lay down in the dirt and weeds carefully. Looking for the best angle and the best light.

Words were written in red pen on the edge of the photo - "That's it, don't cry, look into the distance."

In fact, the year, month, and day of the stolen photo are marked with a red pen on the corner of each photo, and there are similar words——

"This is your first year away from me, you look good"

"This is the second year, please don't be so haggard"

"In the third year, you gained weight"

"In the fourth year, I think of you less time"

"In the fifth year, continue to decrease"

"Sixth year, but still miss you"

……

Tears welled up silently.

He knew that his father loved them, but that man always acted foolishly, and kept missing appointments again and again, disappointing their mother and son.

But I suddenly found that the warrior who alone watched the fate of mankind was still watching his wife and son in a place where their mother and son didn't notice.

Counting the six years he disappeared, the man has been in this city for more than 20 years.

He would not have died on that rainy night. He should have left the city completely on that rainy night and started a new life.

But his son sent him a text message that day, and it was raining like a torrential rain. He was worried, thinking about taking one last look at his son before leaving, and telling him to take good care of his mother, especially the cup of hot milk with sugar cubes. Go and take yourself in.

In the past 20 years, he has carefully avoided all accidents, but he still couldn't escape after all.

Or, the woman named Su Xiaoyan and the boy named Chu Zihang were the biggest accidents in his life.

Chu Zihang walked to the bed, lay down tiredly, and slowly closed his eyes.

The aura belonging to that man descended overwhelmingly, surrounding him tightly.

He once thought deeply about the love between his father and mother before, after he thoroughly understood the meaning of mixed race.

He guessed that everyone met someone in their life and fell in love with her.

Some people meet at the right time, like meeting flowers in spring, and everything will be fine, they will fall in love, get engaged, get married, and live together.

But some people meet at the wrong time, just like seeing fish floating up to take a breath through the ice in winter.

No, not just the wrong time, but the wrong person.

But just like Senior Brother Fingel said, even if everything is wrong, who can say that this relationship is also wrong?

When you meet at the wrong time, can you restrain yourself from not liking that person?Will he still try his best to get close and try his best to cover up himself, just like the man who covered himself up and pretended to be useless.

The nerves in my mind were burning, and the familiar picture emerged again.

In that ten-square-meter bungalow, the beautiful woman sat in front of the stove of the steam kettle with a disheveled face, the boy was riding on the neck of the man, and the man was crawling all over the ground, and the glass of damned milk was added with a lump of sugar. Deep in the memory is filled with warm white steam.

He shivered slightly, and suddenly realized that this was not only about the encounter between father and mother, but also the encounter and love between him and Xia Mi.

Hybrids meet pure humans, pure dragons meet hybrids.

He was indeed that man's own son, and their father and son were so similar in this respect.

They all thought that they would never fall in love with another person in this life, they all met the wrong person at the wrong time, and when the fish finished breathing and dived into the water again, the rare and precious happiness was frozen up.

Chu Zihang got up and picked up a cigar, and found a match next to it. The match ignited with a "chi" sound, and lit the cigar. He took a tentative puff, but he coughed violently due to choking.

He turned around again and came to the corner where boxes of whiskey were stored, picked up the upside-down glass, and didn’t mind the dust on it, rinsed it twice casually with liquor, poured half a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp .

He had never drank such a strong wine, and not long after drinking, he was already slightly drunk. He filled the glass again in silence, and sat back on the bedside with the wine glass.

He was looking for how much he had inherited from that man, but unfortunately, apart from his emotional encounters, the overlap between him and that man was pitifully small.

That guy took his mother down easily with his mouth, and rhetoric has never been his specialty, and he doesn't smoke or drink, half a glass of whiskey makes him drunk
He couldn't tell whether it was drunk, or the man's breath was strong enough to make him feel at ease. He sat by the bed, staring at the room in a daze.

He looked at the photo of his beloved woman secretly taken by a man on the wall, and what came to his mind was the girl who didn't know if her name was really Xia Mi.

The mother's face in various poses on the photo wall suddenly turned into Xia Mi.

The familiar figure kept changing in his mind like a slide show——

The aquarium is lying on the glass and watching the back of the turtle swimming slowly in front of it...

In the projection hall, the girl sits quietly beside the boy, the light and shadow flickering on her focused little face...

Under the huge camphor tree, a girl in a white dress who is bored kicking stones and waiting for someone to come to an appointment...

The classical and pure girl in the fluttering green lotus skirt stood at the end of the path with a smile and waved to him...

Stepping on the fluffy slippers, he flew into the boy's arms from the stairs and giggled like an angel...

……

He has seen the girl in various poses, and unconsciously stored these pictures one by one in the depths of his memory.

Masashi Toyama, a teacher of "Introduction to Brain Science", said that human memory is very unreliable, like a broken hard disk that is easily degaussed.The past is like a painting on the sand, time goes by, the sand is blown away by the wind, the memory is blurred, and finally turned into a vast piece, which can no longer be distinguished.

But he remembered everything about that girl so clearly, as if it happened yesterday.

Just because a certain boy named Chu Zihang really fell in love with a girl named Xia Mi.

The girl had strayed into his world without authorization and left an indelible mark on it.

Her emotions, the lively tension in her body, her occasional coquettishness and unreasonableness...all left an unforgettable mark on his life.

It's like he's used to a girl sitting across from him in the library. When he's looking up materials, the girl will prop her cheek, or look sideways at the blue and deep sky outside the window, or quietly look at the boy opposite... …

Chu Zihang took a deep breath, he staggered to his feet, and stood in front of the photo wall again, looking at the photos that narrated his love all the time.

On this evening, he found other traces left by the man in the world, and he wanted to understand something along the way.

Dad chose a wrong path.

Even if you meet the wrong person at the wrong time, who can say that this relationship is fake?It is also sincere and fierce, and will never lose to anyone's love!
He also wanted to understand why the girl would leave him suddenly.

It turned out that she had been terrified all the time, just like that man was terrified, and finally ran away from her lover.

She was afraid that the distance between them seemed to be within reach, but they straddled the distance between two worlds, so at the last moment, she gave the right to choose unreservedly to the boy she liked.

She was also looking forward to that moment, looking forward to the boy she likes being able to gently embrace her in his arms without fear...

But he let her down.

In the end, Chu Zihang carried the opened bottle of whiskey and left the basement tiredly and easily.

Finger outside the door disappeared, and Norns disappeared.

He came out of the building alone.

With the last chirping of birds at dusk, night finally falls.

Chu Zihang stood under the dim street lights, and the night covered the city like a curtain.

He looked at the quiet night, and thought in his heart, if there would never be a girl flying into his arms with a smile every morning, and every time he went to the library, he would never see that "coincident" girl who liked to sit. The girl by the window, of course, no one will make sweet-scented osmanthus and white fungus soup just for him...

How lonely this world must be.

That girl broke into the boy's world covered in dust without authorization, but then turned away without saying a word, and seeing the sunny mole, how could she continue to endure the world without sunshine?
He felt he should do something.

"Going to find your girl? Grab this, it will help you find your girl."

The junior brother's voice sounded very appropriately.

Chu Zihang caught the cell phone thrown by his junior.

Isn't this your mobile phone?
"You fell in the Nibelungen, and I brought it back for you. Someone once took your mobile phone and secretly ordered a location search service for the mobile company, but she didn't know that this service can be two-way."

Lu Mingfei squatted beside his senior brother, smiling and squinting.

"A woman is a creature, if she likes you, she will believe you when you lie, not to mention that you don't need to lie at all. Brother, the happiest thing in this world is that the girl you like also likes you."

"So go and bring her back, we're all behind you!"

Chu Zihang was silent for a long time, shook his head, and smiled silently.

He has heard of the mobile company's service, and others can see which signal station your mobile phone accesses the signal from.It's usually housewives who order that service...to spy on husbands.

He clenched his phone tightly and looked up at the lonely night.

Whether waiting for the dawn, the night is always one step ahead, but the dawn comes later.

There was a silly girl who said she would let him win no matter how many times.

This time, he wanted the girl to win.

And before that, he needs to make some preparations, just like he must rehearse countless times in his mind before each speech.

He took another sip of the strong liquor, and then handed the bottle to his junior brother.

Lu Mingfei was a little dazed looking at the whiskey handed over, and inevitably recalled some bad memories, took the bottle bravely, took a sip of the bottle like his senior brother, and then handed it back.

"After drinking my wine, lend me some money." Chu Zihang said calmly.

Lu Mingfei was stunned. He rubbed his eyes to make sure that the one standing beside him was Chu Zihang and not Finger.

"I have saved a little from my mission in the past two years, but it is still far from enough to buy a house, so I want to advance part of my future salary with you." Chu Zihang still spoke in a flat tone.

"Future salary?" Lu Mingfei asked blankly.

"If there are no accidents, I should have to work with you in the future. Doesn't the boss need to pay employees' wages?"

"...Borrow as much as you want, and if it's too much, I'll have to borrow it from others." Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

"The housing prices in this city are not high. I asked about it. Including the after-sales decoration, it needs another 400 million yuan. There is not much time. I asked the elites of the executive department to help, so I need to add another 50 yuan."

"...Can it be divided into installments?"

Chu Zihang glanced at him, but said nothing.

"...When I didn't say it, it's fine, junior brother, I'll sell myself to support you!" Lu Mingfei prepared to die with a look of resignation.

"Remember to punch my card tomorrow, this bottle of wine is for you." Chu Zihang put down the bottle, drunkenly, and walked towards home alone in slightly chaotic steps.

Lu Mingfei was still squatting on the side of the road, staring at the bottle of whiskey beside him in a daze.
