Chapter 51 New Neighbors

"Noning, what did you see?"

He doesn't answer.

There are many things that are unfair in this world.In the three futures he saw, there was no proof of his survival, and even in the last time and space, he saw his own tombstone.The endings of these time and space lead to his death, and he began to doubt whether his future is just a different process, and the ending is also buried in the cold ground a year later.He died sooner than imagined, and he would die in an unexpected way within a year.

Seeing his pale face, Linna left consciously: "Don't believe too much in the future you see, it's all a matter of another time and space, your future is still in your hands."

He knew it was a relief, so he just smiled and watched Linna leave.

After Linna left, he sat back at the desk and began to look at the accumulated files.He didn't correct a few books, his mind was troubled by death, and the pen in his hand unconsciously drew strange lines, like the uncontrolled curve of time and space in a doze.He closed the folder, threw away the pen, sat on the chair and let his mind go blank.He is not afraid of death, but only worried about whether he still has time to complete the peace negotiation process, if he is really determined to negotiate a peace.

He decided to drag it off for another day, and headed home to sleep willfully.

He walked home and stopped at the garden gate.There was a young man he had never seen before. He was very young by visual inspection, younger than his student Mion, probably around 180 years old.The young man was wearing his favorite white, and leaned patiently against the pillar at his door.He walked over and wanted to ask the young man about his background. If it was a salesman, he would politely say that he didn't need it, but because the young man had waited for so long, he might buy some things that he didn't need at all. .

The young man spoke when he walked in, his voice revealing a vigor: "Hi, Mr. Vichy, have you eaten yet?"

"you are?"

"I'm a new neighbor." The young man pointed to the house next door, which was the landlord's own house.The exterior wall of the house was originally painted a deep red, but now it is painted white that is not resistant to dirt.He was too hasty to see it when he went out at noon, but now when he looks up, the visual impact is still great.The rented houses around him were secretly rented by Ye Xing, except for Versail's house and the landlady's house, there were no houses available for rent.In other words, he hasn't seen a new neighbor for 100 years.

What kind of madness did that old lady, the landlady, actually agree to rent out the house she lives in?

"At first the landlady was reluctant, but then she saw that I was a young man who lacked a place to live, so she reluctantly let me rent out the house." The young man saw that he was still looking at the house next door. , explained and introduced himself: "It's the first time we met, I'm Su Kaqi, I'm from Erdu, and I'm here to study."

"Oh, hello. What's the matter?"

He regained his senses and held Mr. Su's extended hand to show his friendliness. He didn't get any important points from Su's self-introduction. The only thing he heard was that Mr. Su's name was Su.This name is associated with many bad memories, and Lester's pseudonym is also Sue.But this Mr. Su in front of him is not that Mr. Su. There are too many people called Mr. Su in the world.

"I'm here to meet my new neighbors. Seeing the new neighbors are so kind, I expect the future life will be very pleasant."

"Thank you."

"Has Mr. Vichy eaten?"

The topic is back to the beginning.He thought about it carefully, he seemed to have not eaten for a while, the snacks in the streets and alleys of the Demon Realm supported him until now, he seemed a little hungry.So he shook his head.

Su showed a bright smile: "Although it's afternoon, I haven't had time to eat yet. I found out that a new shop has opened nearby, and the dishes in it are very good. If Mr. Vichy doesn't mind, how about we have dinner together? You You can eat Chinese or Western food if you want.”

Facing Su's gracious invitation, he seemed to have no reason to refuse.Mr. Su led him around seven or eight streets, and finally stopped in a very small shop.He looked up at the signboard, there is seafood, the name is really straightforward and cool.He missed the scene of the two of them eating together very much. It had been too long since he had wandered around the nearby streets to count how many shops opened today and yesterday, and what was delicious in them.His life is almost full of work meals, various banquets, and dinners invited by others.

Since it was afternoon, the shop was empty and they were the only customers.Su picked the innermost seat, and after pulling out the chair for him, he sat down in no hurry.

Su didn't look at the menu, and asked him directly: "What would Mr. Vichy want to eat?"

"Whatever, it's my first time here, you can just order."

"Then I'm welcome."

Su went to the front desk and quickly ordered the menu, brought two cans of Coke and sat opposite him.Su knocked open the Coke bottle, plugged in the straw, and pushed it in front of him.The cola was iced, and there was still water vapor on it when he picked it up. He took a sip, and sure enough, drinking cola is a good choice no matter what he eats.Of course, this does not rule out that he likes to drink Coke.And Mr. Su drank the Coke much faster than him. When he looked up, the Coke bottle was more than half empty.

"Mr. Su, Coke is carbonated." He said with a chuckle, "If you drink too much, you won't be able to eat after a while."

"It's okay, I have a big appetite, Mr. Vichy, please don't make fun of me later." Su smiled shyly, glanced at his bottle, and asked, "What Mr. Vichy usually likes to drink, I make my own decision I got you a Coke."

"Coke, or tea." He thought for a while, and added: "I don't drink alcohol, I'm allergic to alcohol."

"It's a good habit not to drink alcohol, and I don't drink alcohol. I always feel that drinking alcohol hurts my health. As for tea, I also like to drink it, but I dare not make it myself. Someone once commented on me and said that my tea is very poor. Worst tea I've ever had. This sentence has seriously damaged my self-confidence, and I don't want to make tea myself at all."

"It must be sincere to you to be able to say it so bluntly."

He also said that to little Aaron, but Aaron shouldn't hold grudges so much until now, right?

Just as he was talking, the waiter had already brought a large plate of crabs to the table.The size of the crab occupies one-third of the entire table. The blue crab shell armor rests on the eight huge crab legs. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what kind of crab it is at a glance.In such a remote place, Mr. Su actually found a king crab that usually only appears at noble banquets, and whose price can cover many months' rent.

He looked at the dead steamed crab in front of him, and he couldn't eat it.Although it is his favorite food, it is not one of them. "Mr. Su, I remember you saying that you are a student?" He was wondering which new nobleman with the surname Kaqi belonged to, who was so generous.

"That's right." Mr. Su took the lead in pulling out a crab leg, crushed it with pliers, and put it in his bowl: "Although I am a poor and destitute student with both parents dead, it doesn't mean that I can't treat you to expensive food." Anyway, I haven’t eaten it, and I should try something that I haven’t tried in my life, no matter what it is, I can always learn a lot if I try it.”

Su lives as he pleases, which is his longing attitude towards life.But let a student class invite, or both parents died, how could he be ashamed.

As soon as he stretched out his hand to ask the waiter to pay the bill, Su stretched out his hand and pressed his hand down: "I've already paid the bill, Teacher Weixi, you can just eat."

He was astonished at Su's checkout speed, but also caught a noun: "Teacher?"

Su realized that he had slipped his tongue, and there was no need to save him, so he said directly, "When I came to the Imperial City five days ago, the first thing I went to was the Imperial City University. In the university, I met a student from the Department of History. Female classmate, she recommended to me that if you want to study history and archaeology, her tutor is very good, she strongly recommends it to me, and also told me your address. I just want to rent a house near you, and then come to meet you Make a friendship, so that I can get some first-hand information when the university enrolls students in the next quarter."

Jenny actually disclosed his information to a stranger whom she met for the first time. How charming is Su?

He could tell that Su was witty and humorous, probably because he was young, and his conversation was a little frivolous, but in fact, he was delicate and liked to take care of others, which is the favorite personality of most girls. Can gain a person's favor.

He asked Su: "What have you read?"

"I have no academic qualifications, and I have never been to school. I was an orphan since I was a child. I learned from others to buy and sell things as a businessman very early. Different customs and habits in various places have created a strong interest in history. I observed that many friends of the same age around me are in school, and I envy them very much, so I came to the imperial city to go to university.” Su bit down a crab Leg said: "I have read all the required books in the history department of the university. I want to take part in the social recruitment examination and jump into Miss Rose's class to become your student."

He had a new understanding of Su.Past experience told him that Su must be a very good student.Do everything very seriously.

"My next plan is to go to the library to read and read all the books. If possible, it would be even better to go to the library for night travel or day travel. I can find a lot of unpopular knowledge."

That's right, speaking of the library, he remembered the story Lester once told him in the archives of the demons.He has obtained the reason for the curse, and he is going to find a way to untie it.

"What do you think of my plan, Teacher Vichy?"

"Asu, what do you want to do after graduation?"

"How about the president who travels by day or by night?"

Su's words were astonishing.If he hadn't been convinced that Su didn't know his identity, he would have thought that Su had told him on purpose.Su Young's eyes were full of confidence, and he said his words firmly, and it seemed that they would be realized soon.Since Su had this idea, he didn't criticize it, but praised and encouraged him: "I think it's very good, how do you know if you don't try it?"

Su bit the crab legs into pieces, nodded his head hard, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

That afternoon, Sue and he ate a whole king crab.
