When the magic flower blooms
Chapter 44
Although Wu Fei helped out, recalling the false alarm just now, Ming Ruoxing was still a little scared.
At this moment, he obediently accompanied the two elder brothers out of the activity center, looking for the Land Rover parked by the roadside.
Maybe it was because this trip was not on official business and needed to be kept secret, there was no driver in the car, so Ming Ruochen sat in the driver's seat himself.
The emaciated brother seemed to be still on fire, and it took several savage attempts to get the key in and start the car.Wu Fei in the passenger seat was obviously a little worried, and Ming Ruoxing was also afraid that he would have serious problems driving like this, so he quickly softened and comforted him.
"Brother, thank you for coming to see me. I'm...very happy."
Just after saying this, even he himself felt a little too bored, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Ming Ruochen didn't speak, and adjusted the positions of the seat and the rearview mirror solemnly.
Fearing that the two brothers would break up due to such an awkward quarrel, Wu Fei quickly responded for him: "Xiao Xing, if you need anything, just give me... let's call."
Ming Ruoxing nodded, and grabbed the car window smoothly.
"Brother Fei, if... I mean, if Naga gradually remembered what happened before and had doubts about He Tiansi's identity, can I tell you what happened before?"
"This is..."
Wu Fei didn't answer the question right away.Because he knew very well that the person Ming Ruoxing really asked was not him.
So he leaned back a little to make room for the conversation.
Ming Ruochen was adjusting the direction of the air conditioner, and he fiddled with the small air outlet for more than ten seconds before reluctantly stopping.Then he opened his mouth slowly.
"Can you tell what is objective and what is subjective?"
He didn't even lift his head when he spoke, but pointed at Wu Fei, "Describe him to me now."
"Director of the Administrative Affairs Department of the Asian Security Bureau."
Ming Ruoxing slowly added while thinking: "Male, 33 years old, single. On the one hand, many people in the bureau admire him; on the other hand, on certain occasions, everyone doesn't want to be approached by him."
"Hey, that's enough." Wu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you guys colluding to play tricks on me?"
Ming Ruochen turned to look at him: "What Xiaoxing described just now, is it you?"
"...It's part of it."
"Then if one day you lose your memory, let me tell you what Xiaoxing said just now. What would you think?"
Wu Fei and Ming Ruoxing fell silent at the same time.
Ming Ruochen put on polarized sunglasses and left a last word of advice.
"The you in other people's mouths will never be the truest self. If you really want Naga to live the way you want, then just open your mouth. Then see if he will have cognitive confusion because of it Even schizophrenia. It's your choice anyway."
After saying this, he pressed the central control to close the window, then kicked the accelerator and drove away from the parking space.
In the rearview mirror, Ming Ruoxing was still standing where he was thinking.Wu Fei stared at him for a while, until he heard a warning buzzer in his ears, then he pulled out the seat belt and fastened it.
"Did that kid ask Shen Dongli to examine Naga?" Ming Ruochen said abruptly.
"..."
Knowing that this question cannot be avoided, Wu Fei euphemistically explained, "Xiao Xing is justifiable for doing this, isn't it that even you sometimes dislike certain styles of the research institute?"
"Then you can hide from me and violate the rules? He is my own younger brother. If it gets out, how can you explain me as the big brother? How can you stand up in front of others?!"
There was a sheep grazing on the side of the road ahead, and Ming Ruochen suddenly honked the horn to scare it away to the hillside.
"And you!"
He didn't let Wu Fei go, "Last time you didn't tell me that you sent him here and you still haven't settled the score, but this time you actually helped him tear down my platform in person. You really treat him as your own brother!"
Wu Fei did not refute this objection, on the contrary, he admitted his mistake very simply.
"I'm sorry, I overstepped the mark."
"...Tsk."
This kind of low profile of giving up completely made Ruochen even more upset.He kicked the accelerator and started to accelerate, when the phone rang in the car.
"mine."
Wu Fei hurriedly took out the mobile phone from his pocket, frowned slightly after looking at it.
"It's my mother." He greeted Ming Ruochen softly.
The dark sunglasses covered Ming Ruochen's expression, but he obviously slowed down again.
On the other side, Wu Fei had already answered the phone.
"Mom, do you need me?"
Although the voice on the other end of the phone could not be heard clearly, it could be seen from Wu Fei's expression that the content of the conversation did not please him very much.
"No, it's all right. It's fine tonight.
"Eight o'clock, okay, Huguang Hotel.
"Flowers... just don't want them.
"No, don't buy it. I'll do it myself...Okay, got it."
The call lasted only about 2 minutes. After putting the phone back into his pocket, Wu Fei stretched out his hand and rubbed the Jingming acupoint, with a helpless expression on his face.
"What's the matter?" Ming Ruochen asked blankly even though he had almost guessed the reason.
"I'm going to meet someone tonight." Wu Fei's words were very euphemistic. "The family has been urging me for a long time, and I have high expectations. They asked me to buy a bouquet of flowers and get ready."
"Male or female this time?"
"The second daughter of the Deputy Director of the Accounting Department of the Ministry of Finance, she just came back from Europe last year."
"Deputy director? Have your parents lowered their requirements for you, even a deputy is fine."
"Stop laughing at me."
Wu Fei still had the passive attitude of not much resistance, "It's not the son of the Minister of Justice like you, so it's possible that he has to climb up to the Prime Minister's house?"
"That wild girl, I'm not interested in being her shield."
After answering without thinking, Ming Ruochen paused again.
"I still like the kind who are gentle and rational, have their own opinions and careers, and know how to listen and understand. Those who can always stay with me are better."
"The most important thing is to give you a litter of tiger cubs." Wu Fei added the core requirement for him, "After all, you are the only heir that the Ming family expects."
Ming Ruochen didn't speak again.
He stepped on the accelerator again, and drove away from the plains in the mountains, towards the quiet and gloomy valley.
-
He Tiansi ran over excitedly from a distance with a net bag containing three large watermelons, only to find that the Land Rover had already driven away, leaving Ming Ruoxing standing alone at the door.
He put the watermelon on the threshold and walked quickly to Ming Ruoxing.
"Well, your brother...does he hate me a little?"
Ming Ruoxing took out a pack of napkins from his pocket to let him wipe his sweat, and asked, "What about you? Do you hate him?"
"That's not to say. The main reason is that his hostility is so strange that I just find it inexplicable."
Hearing what he said, Ming Ruoxing suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to test He Tiansi.
"My brother, he did misunderstand you a bit... As I said, subhumans fall in love with men and women. When he saw us sleeping on the same bed just now, he thought we were dating. He felt that I hid this from the family. That's why I'm angry."
"So that's how it is..."
He Tiansi opened his mouth, and suddenly remembered the scene when Ming Ruoxing was sleeping soundly in his arms a few hours ago.His heart was itching like a cat was scratching, but on the surface he still pretended to be ignorant.
"Why? Two men are not allowed to lie on the same bed in demihuman society?"
"That's not it."
"Then why did your family misunderstand when they saw us lying together? Could it be...Xiao Ming, you had a boyfriend before?"
"..."
The question that was voluntarily thrown out was bounced back just like that.Although He Tiansi was mostly "unintentional words", Ming Ruoxing still couldn't help wondering if the naga who had a stomach full of water had come back to life.
After all the words were spread out, he boldly asked back: "...If you have dated, how about it; if you haven't dated, so what?"
It was obviously a question that could be fooled by saying "it's none of my business", but He Tiansi suddenly got stuck.
He just stared at Ming Ruoxing blankly, as if the answer was not in his heart, but deep in Ming Ruoxing's eyes.
This long and strange stare at each other finally ended in the warm greetings of several aunts who came to play mahjong.Under their strong request, He Tiansi readily agreed to hang with them for a few hangs; Ming Ruoxing just found an excuse to escape, picked up the watermelon and sent it to the cafeteria to be refrigerated.
In this way, the two separated for more than an hour, and it was already dinner time when they met again.As for that strange question, although neither of them had forgotten it, neither of them took the initiative to bring it up again.
From that night on, their sojourn life in the elderly activity center seemed to be on the right track.The ghost of the female mermaid never appeared again, and He Tiansi was completely familiar with the work of night watch, and the backyard of the mourning hall was no longer a scary existence.
If there is any "flying in the ointment", it is the problem of daily work and rest - since Ming Ruoxing did not continue to accompany He Tiansi on night shift, the two people's sleep time is basically perfectly staggered.
Even though He Tiansi resolutely sacrificed his breakfast every day after get off work at five o'clock in the morning, and lay down next to Ming Ruoxing as quickly as possible, but that kitten has never made such a cute "voluntary snuggle up" again. Moved.
-
On Monday of the second week, the designer sent the construction plan of the safe house, and the contract was signed soon.On Wednesday, several excavators and dozens of workers arrived in town to clear the debris.When the cleaning work is completed, formal survey and construction teams will follow.
To He Tiansi's surprise, this was actually a "sub-human construction team".From workers to supervisors to designers, they are all demihumans.According to Ming Ruoxing's introduction, this team is not only super efficient and well-trained, but has also participated in the construction of many villas of Asian celebrities. Entrusting them with the full power of construction can completely worry-free.
Of course, He Tiansi didn't know, this was just a half-truth and half-false excuse.
The big benefactor who actually spent money to build the house was the Yaan Bureau. Of course, it needs to be supervised and accepted by the Yaan Bureau.And one of Ming Ruoxing's new important tasks is to infuse He Tiansi with ecstasy soup, so as to ensure that no matter what kind of ghost the safe house is built in the end, a few more secret rooms or even arsenals, He Tiansi will not be affected. Doubtful or even dissatisfied.
In the third week after moving into the activity center, the long and hot dog weather finally came to an end.
At this moment, he obediently accompanied the two elder brothers out of the activity center, looking for the Land Rover parked by the roadside.
Maybe it was because this trip was not on official business and needed to be kept secret, there was no driver in the car, so Ming Ruochen sat in the driver's seat himself.
