Immortal Aoki

【Chapter 13】

Scorpion Mei let out a long sigh, and told a story.

The Mei family has made a living from gambling for generations, and in his generation, they have opened more than a dozen casinos, large and small.His surname is Mei and his name is E. This name is fierce, and it was chosen by his biological father.As a banker, Mei E doesn't make a move easily, and if he makes a move occasionally, it will definitely make others lose their money.This year, luck has never been more smooth.In all things, from big bets to small bets, to non-gamblers, luck is good.No matter how unlucky others are, he can shine like a star.

Mei E knew very well that he was a mortal, not a god, and it was only normal for him to lose if he didn't spend a thousand dollars.

So the more he wins, the more frightened Mei E becomes.

In the morning, Mei E was very happy when he heard that the ship had an accident, thinking that there was finally a setback.He condescended to come to the door just to verify the news.As a result, while many cargoes sank into the sea, his box was safe—it just poured cold water on him.

He was in a bad mood.

Therefore, when everyone encouraged Zhong Fei to gamble, Mei felt nauseous: Zhong Fei is a stranger, he will not show mercy, and if he wants to lose, he will definitely lose.Unexpectedly, the lure of 100 taels was useless, Zhong Fei lost, but he still won.

It really echoes the old saying: Luck is a dog, you can't catch up with it, and you can't beat it away.

Zhong Fei: "So you think I'm plotting against you?"

Mei E: "Otherwise, since you can beat those boatmen, you will definitely be able to throw big points."

Zhong Fei understood that this guy was so eager to lose that he thought that the person who made him win was trying to harm him—this is persecution paranoia, which must be cured!

Xing Yin interjected: "Fortune is something that cannot be said. If you are lucky, you will stumble and pick up ingots."

Mei E shook her head: "No, it's the prelude to disaster."

Mei E has learned from the past.

The ancestral home of the Mei family was also a large casino, and Mei E's father was vigorous and good at running the business, so the casino blossomed everywhere. Fifteen years ago, that is, when Mei E was ten years old, the Mei family was prosperous to the extreme, piling up gold and jade, it was really rich and honorable.However, Mei's father, who was in his prime, suddenly fell ill and died without leaving a last word.

The three generations of the Mei family were single-handed. After the death of Mei's father, no one could make the decision. The Mei family quickly declined, and several casinos were sold.

Fortunately, Mei E inherited his father's business methods. He took charge of the Mei family at the age of 15 and turned the tide. Within ten years, it was even more prosperous than when his father was there.Unlike his arrogant father, Mei E, who has experienced ups and downs, is cautious, even to the point of neuroticism.Little wealth depends on hard work, and great wealth depends on fate. He is particularly sensitive to fluctuations in fortune.

At the beginning of the year, he realized that his fortune was amazing.

He deliberately experimented a few times, as if there was a god controlling it in the dark, every bet was sure to win.Even if you don't gamble, the good news will come one after another, and the door can't stop it.He used many methods, and even secretly found trouble for his own casino, but it was useless, and the bad things brought the casino to a higher level. After this abnormal smoothness, will there be a big fight?

Because it is just suspicion, one cannot sue the officials, two cannot disturb his wife and children, and three cannot tell acquaintances.Mei E, who was extremely depressed, was terrified alone, suffering the pain of suspicion, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, not thinking about food and drink.

With a face as white as a vampire, and dark red eyes, he doesn't look like the aura of "going along to explode".

Zhong Fei was puzzled: "We are not policemen, so we can't investigate this kind of thing."

Mei E twitched her cheeks, and smiled wryly: "I heard from the supervisor that the young hero Xingyin showed his skills and controlled the storm. Mei has a heartless request, please stay in Meifu, two young masters, to protect me It's safe, just ask how much reward you want."

After walking around for a long time, it turned out that he wanted Xingyin to be his bodyguard.

Xingyin spoke first: "We are in a hurry, we don't have time to delay here."

Zhong Fei: "Young Master Mei, that's true."

Although he sympathized with him, Zhong Fei couldn't afford to delay.This world is unpredictable, if something happens, such as absorbing the energy source like a prison, it will be irreversible.Recharge the energy source as soon as possible, activate the brain, and find a way to build a battleship and fly back to the planet—everything has priorities, and Zhong Fei is not a detective.

Mei E said, "Is one thousand taels of silver enough? Protect me for a month."

Xing Yin sneered: "Who doesn't lack that bit of silver, I'll give you tens of millions, can you make the two sects fight to the death?"

Mei E was startled, and looked at Xingyin again, suddenly thoughtful, her pale face glowed, and her dark red pupils shone with a different kind of light—it was definitely the kind of light that gamblers have when they have a chance of winning, Zhong Fei thought to himself Not good.

Sure enough, Mei E touched her lips with her finger: "Young Hero Xingyin and Mr. Zhong are married couple?"

Zhong Fei replied cautiously: "It's just a friend."

Not to mention a confidant, much better than a passer-by, Zhong Fei felt that he was right, Xing Yin pursed his lips and agreed.

Mei E smiled thoughtfully: "That's easy to say. When I first met Mr. Zhong, I always felt familiar. Just now I finally remembered that three years ago, a man wearing gold and purple took a painting and said he wanted to find him. His lover, Mr. Zhong and the person in the painting are absolutely similar."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Potian was shocked.

Xingyin opened his eyes wide: "Zhong Fei, do you have a lover?"

Zhong Fei was stunned, and explained: "I have a popular face, and there are many people who look like me."

Speaking of appearance, on the original planet, everyone's genes have been optimized, trying to get close to the golden ratio, which conforms to the mainstream aesthetics, but loses their characteristics.Extremes lead to opposites, and everyone expects to be different.Zhong Fei thought about tattooing some labels, but as a space warrior, he was often in a high-pressure environment, and his original body was in the best condition, so he had to give up.Therefore, when Zhong Fei sees freckles and triangular eyes, he thinks they are cute.Temperament, in his opinion, is far better than appearance.

For example, Zhong Fei thinks that Scorpion Mei's coldness and nervousness are very interesting, like the three Xingyin brothers, they also have a special temperament.

And someone like Mu Zhu who does not overwhelm the country but is astonishing himself is even more astonishing.

Mei E didn't know this, so he said disapprovingly, "How could it be, it's rare to see someone as handsome as Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Fei: "No matter what, he must not be looking for me."

Xing Yin and Mei E said in unison: "Why?"

Zhong Fei has been sleeping in the escape pod and never came out.The escape cabin is a bionic design, like a chameleon, it can automatically hide in the environment, and only professional instruments can detect its existence.What's more, in that dense primitive mountain forest, ordinary people can't see anything here.

Zhong Fei couldn't explain in detail, but just repeated that he was definitely not the person in the painting.

Mei E was very firm: "That man comes every year, and it is indispensable to have fun in my place. We have a little friendship. He is sure that the person in the painting must be around here, and he once told me that if I see someone similar, I must keep him for him." He usually comes in the middle of March, and now it is the first day of March. The two young masters will stay for a few more days, and I will do Mei a favor, and I will live up to my friend's entrustment."

Sure enough, he is a dealer who is good at setting traps, and he keeps people talking in a few words.

Zhong Fei declined and said, "We really don't have time."

Mei E casually called a servant in and asked him if he knew Zhong Fei.The servant blinked, showing that there was something on the verge of coming out but he just couldn't think of it.Mei E suggested the word "painting", and the servant immediately clapped his hands and shouted exaggeratedly, "Yes, yes, isn't he the person in the painting?"——these two were acting like oboe, and they didn't know they had rehearsed No—as expected, Mei E's eyeballs rolled and it was a ghost idea, setting traps at will, so that bad things would come to her.

However, Zhong Fei also hesitated.

Whether or not something happened in the past ten years, he had thought about it since he came out of the escape pod, but later he forgot too much.

Arranged into the flashy wing, Xingyin said sullenly: "You believed what he said? Aren't you sure you are not the person in the painting?"

Zhong Fei said: "There are no absolutes in everything, just stay a few more days for peace of mind."

Xingyin sat on the chair, with his back to Zhong Fei, and said nothing. He didn't know what he was thinking, the air pressure was very low, and he always felt that he was angry.He was really a child, but he insisted on coaxing him, Zhong Fei poked him on the shoulder, Xingyin remained motionless.Zhong Feisuo reached out to rub his hair, and accidentally touched half of the mask.Xingyin immediately stretched out his hand to press the mask, turned his head nervously, and stared at the phoenix eyes: "What's wrong!"

What's the matter, it's you who doesn't speak.

Where did the "majestic major general" go when we first met, and why did he become more like a child the more we got along.Zhong Feila came to a chair and stood back to back with him: "If the person in the painting was you, wouldn't you be curious?"

Xing Yin said confidently: "No. He is looking for me, it's not me looking for him!"

Zhong Fei laughed out loud, "Do you understand sympathy?"

Xingyin: "You said it wasn't you."

It is very certain, but it is not 100% absolutely certain - in short, it is hard to say, Zhong Fei sighed.

Xing Yin said sullenly: "What's wrong?"

Zhong Fei rested his chin on the back of the chair: "I was just thinking, it would be great if he was looking for me, at least it means someone misses me."

After ten years of sleep, the war is over.The worst ending is that the planet is destroyed, and all people and things are gone; the best ending is peace and everyone starts a new life. If you are lucky, your name will be engraved on a stone tablet with many people On the sky, under the clear rain, staring at the pure white chrysanthemum with many souls.At most, this is the case. After all, whoever has time to think about people who have been annihilated in ashes is really lonely.

Xingyin turned his face and said in surprise: "I miss you!"

Zhong Fei smiled and said, "You don't understand."

Xing Yin said seriously: "I understand. Before I met you, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and life was as ordinary as water. But when I saw you for the first time, I suddenly felt that there was nothing before. That person, at least he knew what he was looking for. A person, and paintings. And I was in a state of chaos, I didn’t know that I was missing, only the moment I met you did I know that I was missing before——isn’t this just thinking about it, although I didn’t realize it before.”

What you say is like a confession, you know?

Zhong Fei couldn't help but laugh: "Our concerns don't mean the same thing."

Xingyin is very stubborn: "It means the same thing."

Zhong Fei stopped trying to explain, turned his head with a smile, and met Xing Yin who had turned back.Xingyin's eyes are clear, just like his voice, there is no trace of impurity.Zhong Fei was suddenly comforted.Regardless of the past, at least tomorrow will be accompanied by Zhaohui.
