Chapter 66 Self-combing
After this incident, Cheng Lingyun obviously felt that Zhong Qin hadn't been so depressed recently.She told Cheng Lingyun that after finishing Tian Zhongguang, she would go back to Lingshan with Xiao Shengsheng.
Cheng Lingyun asked: "Go back to Lingshan? Will there be a way to help you delay the five declines of heaven and man in Lingshan?"
Zhong Qin said, "I plan to go back to the Triangle Bay you mentioned to see if there is any other way."
Now most of Lingshan Mountain is occupied by the development company of Cheng Lingyun’s family, doing tourism development projects, and the rest is hidden in the clouds all day long. Because the mountain is steep and deep, it has become a Bermuda Delta-like area. triangular bay.The locals said that there was a leprosy hospital there, so they never dared to approach it.
The leprosy hospital was actually the news released by the Sima family decades ago. To a certain extent, it also prevented the Cheng family from taking the Triangle Bay, but the Sima family has never been able to enter it. .
Cheng Lingyun knew that there was a secret there. Zhong Qin was not a god survived from the ancient times. Her life experience had a lot to do with the rampant evil gods and the prevalence of witchcraft at that time.
After Zhong Qin appeared, he suppressed the evil gods such as ghost chariots that were raging at that time, and then he was enshrined by the people and built a Qin Temple, where he selected female beards to serve.
Cheng Lingyun knew that there was no other way. Zhong Qin hadn't been back to Lingshan for so many years, and he didn't know what it was like there. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was difficult and dangerous.
Cheng Lingyun asked: "I feel like you have a good relationship with Xiao Shengsheng recently? Is there anything she can do?"
Zhong Qin said, "I can't wait any longer."
Cheng Lingyun said: "Or if I remove the seal from the Yulan basin, you can try using the Yulan basin again?"
Zhong Qin shook his head: "It's useless, the Yulan Basin is useless to me."
Cheng Lingyun thought for a moment, and said: "Actually, going back to Lingshan might not be a good idea. After solving Hikaru Tanaka, the next step is to solve the ghost car. Since the ghost car can't be found, just lure him out. Lingshan treats her well." It should be particularly attractive."
Zhong Qin said again: "Remember to get me an ID card."
A few days ago, Zhong Qin mentioned this matter to Cheng Lingyun. At that time, he was so full of despair that he even said about it after his death.Zhong Qin's mind was hard to fathom. Cheng Lingyun saw that she was doing well, and suddenly brought up this matter again, asking, "Are you sure you still need an identity certificate? Everything is still unknown, so don't be too pessimistic."
Zhong Qin gave her a white look: "I'm not pessimistic, I just want an identity certificate, then I can have a romantic relationship with Xiao Shengsheng and buy a house."
In Zhong Qin's heart, longevity seems not so important anymore. Lingshan, Tang Palace, ancient mansion... In these residences that outsiders envied at that time, she was always just a passerby, calmly watching other people's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and the world. The stars are changing.Only in the last year did she start her real life. She had friends, a younger brother, Xiao Shengsheng, a mobile phone, and the ability to make money.These days, Xiao Shengsheng is not the only one who has changed.
But this is something for the future, and now the most urgent task is to find Hikaru Tanaka.The city is too big and the transportation is convenient. Many foreigners tore up their passports after coming to this city. The floating population is very difficult to manage. The police did not find any clues.
Zhong Qin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Those doll heads..."
Cheng Lingyun said: "They are all real heads."
Zhong Qin was stunned: "What??? These heads are so small, how could they be heads??"
Cheng Lingyun said: "I have also asked about this matter. The bones in these people's heads have been smashed and taken out, and the insides are filled with hot sand. This is a secret method often used by Latin American indigenous people many years ago. Now There is also this transaction on the black market, and the price is very high. Latin Americans believe that the more heads, the stronger the power."
Zhong Qin said: "Tanaka Hikaru seems to be very interested in this kind of thing that represents power?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "His family is very interested in these things. Onmyoji shikigami can no longer satisfy their desires/desires, so they came to grab the Yulan basin 80 years ago."
Zhong Qin asked: "You mean, Hikari Tanaka is a descendant of those ronin who robbed the national treasure in 1932?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "According to my investigation, yes."
Zhong Qin said: "Then I know where to find him."
Cheng Lingyun said, "An ancient house?"
After Tian Zhongguang escaped, Cheng Lingyun also wanted to go to the old house to find Tan Zhongguang, but due to various reasons, he could only check for suspicious people near the village through his personal relationship.Some time ago, it was rumored that she had already won the land, and now the listing is just a procedure, and then secretly organized the inspection meeting, if she reappears to intervene in the rights of the owner of the ancient house land, it may cause concern from other developers dissatisfied.
Zhong Qin probably understood what she meant, and said, "Whatever, you are still busy with your business. If there is news about the ghost car, I will continue to investigate. I will investigate Tanaka Hikaru. It is hard to say whether the ghost car can be solved now, but dealing with Tanaka Hikaru, I'm still fine."
Cheng Lingyun is human, far less sensitive to Shikigami than Zhong Qin, so he said, "Then I will trouble you."
But Cheng Lingyun was still worried that Zhong Qin's current physical condition might make a mistake, she planned to find some helpers, after much deliberation, she had no better choice except Ming Rong.
Tang Ling practiced Lu Ban Shu, and she was good at geomancy and incantations, but this kind of exorcising evil spirits was a layman. Tong Qiuchen opened his eyes, but he was blocked later, and there was nowhere he could help.Only Mingrong, who has seen the shikigami raised by Hikari Tanaka and fought against him, is the best candidate.
But she hadn't contacted Mingrong for several days.In the past few days, I occasionally want to open the address book when I am free. When I see the word a, I feel inexplicably anxious.
In fact, there is not much connection between them. From the time they knew each other to the present, apart from transactions, they are still transactions.What he owes now is nothing more than two debts to Ming Rong, one is for cultivating the door, and the other is the promise made by Ming Rong when he was abrupt.
Cheng Lingyun didn't think that he could fix that dilapidated door, let alone that he could make up for the mistake he made against Mingrong back then.So she never took the initiative to contact Mingrong. Mingrong was arrogant, and he would not take the initiative to contact her. The two of them were deadlocked.
Thinking about helping Zhong Qin today, Cheng Lingyun planned to go to July [-] Bookstore again, first to ask Ming Rong for help, and second to see how she is doing.
She didn't call to tell Ming Rong that she would go there. To a certain extent, Ming Rong is a house girl who doesn't like to go out to shop and join in the fun.
After work, she went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of perfumed lilies, brought a dessert, and drove to the July [-]th bookstore by herself.
It was the time for students to leave school, and many parents brought their children to buy reference materials. There were sheds outside the book market, and loudspeakers were turned on to sell the materials.At first, Cheng Lingyun was worried about what Hikaru Tanaka would leave here, but now that he saw so many people, he felt relieved.
However, some people are worried.There are also residents beside the book market, and some old men especially like to enjoy the shade under the locust tree. When it became cold outside, they came out to enjoy the shade again. The bench sits down.
Seeing Cheng Lingyun coming, these uncles took a special look at her.Because they met each other several times, Cheng Lingyun nodded and greeted them.
After saying hello, she was about to go to the bookstore when an old man stopped her.
"The girl in front, wait a moment."
It's been a long time since I've heard someone call her that. Cheng Lingyun didn't care, and continued to walk forward. The old man behind called her again, but this time the voice was a bit louder: "Young girl in white, wait. "
Only then did Cheng Lingyun turn his head around and looked at the old men suspiciously: "You called me."
The uncle said: "Yes, I call you."
Cheng Lingyun walked back and asked, "What's the matter?"
The uncle shook his cattail fan, pointed to the July [-]th Bookstore under the locust tree, and asked, "Are you a friend of the old bookstore owner?"
Cheng Lingyun froze for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
The uncle who called her and the other uncles looked at each other, a little hesitant.
Seeing their expressions, Cheng Lingyun became nervous.
Could it be that something happened to Mingrong?
She asked: "Master, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'll listen."
The uncle is a little difficult to say: "Girl, your friend recently... isn't it a little strange?"
Cheng Lingyun asked, "For example?"
The uncle said: "I don't mean anything else, you just think I am supercilious. I have lived here for decades, and there have been many second-hand bookstores in this book market. In the past few decades, almost all of them have closed down. This bookstore is still open on July [-]th, and the boss should be doing other business. I saw many people who look like the boss come to her. But now..."
Cheng Lingyun asked: "What's the matter now?"
The uncle said: "Now, there are always many men who come to her, and it doesn't seem like a business. Sometimes they go out together, and sometimes they send her back. They seem very close, and they are different men every time. Originally We shouldn't be nosy, but the night before yesterday, in the middle of the night, she actually quarreled with a man in the book market, kicked the man, and brought the trouble to the police. Hey, she is a girl from other places. There are no friends here, and it is not easy for us neighbors to speak, so I can only ask you to remind me a few words, we still have to pay attention to safety, she is so beautiful, there must be many people with evil intentions."
Halfway through the uncle's speech, Cheng Lingyun's face darkened, and it took her a lot of effort to hold back the anger that was about to burst out, and listen to the uncle's words.
"I'll remind her."
"That would be the best."
Cheng Lingyun didn't care that Grandpa wanted to chat with her, and strode towards the July [-]th bookstore.Walking in front of him, he was startled suddenly.
The broken ebony door of the bookstore on July [-] was replaced by the most common frosted glass door, through which the cabinets and vases in the entrance could be vaguely seen.
Mingrong was really a little strange.
Cheng Lingyun didn't have time to think about it, and pushed open the door, and Ming Rong's laughter came from inside.
"So, you mean, I couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking about me?"
A young man's voice came next, sounding a little frivolous: "Who else can I miss if I don't want you?"
Mingrong said: "You are really annoying, don't think I don't know about your affairs outside."
The man's voice sounded a little anxious now: "Don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside, I only have you in my heart, or the night before yesterday, and in the middle of the night, I wouldn't have helped you deal with those policemen. That coward you injured has a very rich family background..."
Mingrong laughed again: "Understood, I see you are in a hurry."
Cheng Lingyun could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and walked towards the lobby of the bookstore.
This time, she didn't knock on the bookcase next to the door, she only saw Ming Rong sitting on the soft chair in the middle of the hall, with an old book on his lap, a cup of jasmine scented in his hand, and the Men gossiping.The man looked about 30 years old, his body was leaning, and he was almost in front of Ming Rong.
Cheng Lingyun stopped at the door and looked at Mingrong indifferently.Of course Mingrong also noticed her, but he acted as if he didn't know her, he just glanced at her, and lowered his head to take a sip of jasmine fragrance.
As soon as she lowered her head, her long hair fell down and just swept over her round shoulders.The weather is very hot, she is wearing a suspender dress without a shawl, with black hair and fair skin, she looks a little abstinent.
The man turned his back to Cheng Lingyun, before he noticed anyone at the door, he saw Ming Rong's long hair hanging down, and he reached out his hand to lift it up for her.
However, his next move was stopped by someone.
He looked up, and it turned out to be a glamorous beauty, with a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
It's a pity that this beauty has a beautiful face, but she seems to have a bad temper. Her five fingers are long and slender, and she tightly pinches his wrist, preventing him from approaching.
Mingrong didn't seem to notice, he lay back and softly uttered three words: "Get out."
The man frowned, looking at Mingrong inexplicably.
Mingrong said, "I didn't mention you, I mentioned her."
She raised her chin and pointed at Cheng Lingyun, but Cheng Lingyun let go of her hand and said to the man, "If you are fine, you can leave first. I have business to discuss with the boss."
boss?
Hearing this word, Mingrong was suddenly aroused, she put the cup of jasmine slices on the table heavily, and said to Cheng Lingyun: "I don't do business today, can you not get in my way here. "
Cheng Lingyun rejected Ming Rong with two short words: "No."
She put the flowers and desserts on the table, sat down on the chair generously, raised her long legs, and waited for Mingrong's reaction without making a sound.
Ming Rong blushed from anger, stood up and said to Cheng Lingyun: "Cheng Lingyun, you broke into the house privately, I can bear it once or twice, and I can bear it when you break into my door again and again, today you still come to provoke me ?What do you mean?"
Cheng Lingyun pointed to the man beside him: "What do I mean by asking you? I remember that you don't entertain a man alone here."
Mingrong said, "I want to change my rules in the shop I run, that's my right, what right do you have to comment on my decision?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "I just remind you to be careful and safe. Last time those three men came to do business, you kept provoking them. If it wasn't for me, do you know what would happen next?"
Mingrong was angry: "I want you to take care of it, get out!"
Only then did the man roughly understand what Mingrong meant, but she didn't guess the relationship between Cheng Lingyun and Mingrong, thinking that they were girlfriends or sisters—he couldn't control that, he only knew that these two were Great beauty, no matter who she falls in love with, she is always beautiful/blessing.
He began to act as a peacemaker, mediating the tense atmosphere between Cheng Lingyun and Ming Rong: "Don't be angry, two beauties, I think there must be some misunderstanding between you, why don't you sit down and have a chat?"
"Misunderstanding?" Mingrong laughed sarcastically, "What? Seeing that he was prettier than me, you turned against him? Do you think that what I said was deliberately finding fault with Mr. Cheng?"
The man quickly said: "Absolutely not, I just think it's not good to have a fight in this hot weather, right?"
He looked at Cheng Lingyun flatteringly, but Cheng Lingyun didn't even look at it, just stared at Ming Rong without saying a word.
"Have you decided not to go?"
Mingrong picked up the small bamboo basket under the table and took out his cell phone: "Then I'll call the police!"
When the man heard that he called the police, he became more nervous than Ming Rong, and quickly stopped her: "No, don't call the police."
Mingrong angered the man to speak for Cheng Lingyun, and shook off his hand; "You too! I see you are upset!"
She insisted on calling the police, but the man wanted to snatch her mobile phone, but Mingrong didn't want the man to touch him, so he shrank back, but the mobile phone was not steady, and it was about to fall to the ground, Cheng Lingyun opened his hands and bent down, Mingrong Before she could see clearly with the man, she had firmly caught the phone and put it on the table.
"Let's talk."
Mingrong remained silent with a cold face.
The man came to persuade Mingrong again: "You really can't call the police. Have you forgotten what happened the night before yesterday? The people over there are staring at you. You'd better keep a low profile recently."
Cheng Lingyun asked: "What happened that night?"
The man looked at Ming Rong.
Ming Rong said to the man, "Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to be kicked too?"
The man tried to persuade him with kind words, but in exchange for Ming Rong's words, his anger flared up.
"Is there something wrong with you woman? I'll help you deal with the police, go shopping and eat with you, and I'll be there for you whenever you make a call, but that's how you reacted? Do you have any fucking conscience?"
After scolding, she still felt uncomfortable, and pointed at Cheng Lingyun and said, "Take care of your friend, don't let her mess around outside, doesn't she rely on her beauty, and she has caught many men outside—"
"Get out."
The man was cursing bitterly, his anger hadn't come out yet, but he felt Cheng Lingyun beside him, surrounded by a chilling killing intent.
Killing intent, yes, killing intent.He has never experienced this feeling, let alone found the existence of this feeling from a woman.
He wanted to curse at first, but Cheng Lingyun turned his head and gave him a cold look.
Just one glance, the man's legs are a little soft.
These two women were not easy to mess with, one broke someone's leg, and the other made people's teeth chatter.
He could only stare at the two of them fiercely, then turned around and left.
In the huge hall, only Cheng Lingyun and Ming Rong were left, and the atmosphere was still not relaxed.
After a long time, Mingrong saw the flowers and dessert bags on the table, and chuckled lightly: "Apologizing now, what's the use?",
Cheng Lingyun said: "I didn't come here to apologize, as I said just now, I have business to find you."
Mingrong flicked his hair: "Why do you say that if you want to find me something serious, I will agree to see you? There are so many people waiting to see me every day, and if you want to find me something serious, I must see you. Don't exhaust me to death." ?”
Cheng Lingyun said: "But the fact is that you have been dating different men every day recently, and there is no so-called business at all."
Mingrong's movements stopped, she raised her chin, and looked at Cheng Lingyun arrogantly: "I'm dating a man, is it also hindering you?"
Cheng Lingyun didn't speak.
Mingrong asked again: "So you came today to accuse me of dating someone else, not to talk about business, Cheng Lingyun, you are quite interesting."
She walked over, walked behind Cheng Lingyun, bent down, put her hands on the back of the chair, leaned close to Cheng Lingyun's ear, and blew: "What? Jealousy?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "Jealous? Mingrong, I'm not those men, I don't have time to play such crazy games with you."
Cheng Lingyun was a little irritable, but she was well restrained, and she wouldn't show it when she was upset, but she still leaked a thing or two from her words.
Mingrong smiled and said, "Cheng Lingyun, that's not what I asked."
She played with Cheng Lingyun's hair boredly, and said, "You haven't been in a relationship for a long time, and you haven't dated either."
Cheng Lingyun didn't know what Ming Rong was trying to tell, so he could only quietly wait for her to finish speaking.
Mingrong said: "Recently, I have tried to get along with those men, and it feels pretty good. They listen to everything I say, and they come to me immediately to report after making a phone call. You don't have to tell them what you want. , they will obediently inquire about it and send it to me. They never quarrel with me, and they will not go against my will. If so, I think falling in love is pretty good."
Cheng Lingyun frowned: "You think this is love?"
Mingrong said: "Isn't it? Shouldn't lovers do this?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "You're playing tricks. Mingrong, to be honest, don't you think you're being weird lately?"
Mingrong stood up straight: "Cheng Lingyun, I don't need you to teach me what to do."
Cheng Lingyun said: "I'm just reminding you, those men flatter you, do you know what they are hiding?"
Mingrong said: "Of course I know what they are hiding from me, don't you too?"
Cheng Lingyun turned his head abruptly.
Ming Rong crossed his arms, and a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth: "Cheng Lingyun, I'm not a fool. I have such unbearable thoughts about me in my heart, but I don't have a good word in my mouth, and you threaten me to offend me over and over again. Men are worse."
"It's enough."
Cheng Lingyun endured it for a long time before suppressing the raging anger in her heart. She was fed up with Ming Rong's ridicule, and she was even more angry that she heard such a sentence.
But this is not enough.
As if wanting to recover Cheng Lingyun's past violations one by one, Mingrong dismissed the peaceful relationship between the two in the past as worthless, as if what remained in his memory was only Cheng Lingyun's treatment of her several times. Aggression, and never-ending bickering.
Cheng Lingyun stood up.
"Finished?"
Mingrong looked at her and sneered.
Cheng Lingyun said: "Then let me say one last thing, I have never interfered with your love, and I have never had any thoughts about you as you think. Yes, you are indeed the type I like, but I also have the right to choose , what kind of girlfriend is suitable for me, I know in my heart, I won't be like you, not picking any man, just for that little illusory favor."
Mingrong's face became a little ugly.
"Cheng Lingyun, do you have to belittle me like this?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "Reminding you does not mean belittle you. You should know what kind of threat those men are to you. You are worshiping the way of heaven. For those men you don't love, you pay the price. Is it worth it?" .”
Mingrong broke out: "Shut up!"
Cheng Lingyun turned around and planned to leave.
Seeing her back, Mingrong felt a little wronged in his heart.
She originally thought that she would have the opportunity to confide to Cheng Lingyun, to confide in her lost family, friendship, neglected years and childhood since she was a child.She also knew how happy it would be to be favored by another person, but she couldn't get it from Cheng Lingyun.So, how can she not get it from others.
"Cheng Lingyun!"
Mingrong called her, and Cheng Lingyun walked forward without hesitation.
Mingrong was trembling with anger, her hands were trembling, and she picked up the phone on the table several times, she didn't know what she was doing with the phone, she unlocked it and pressed it, and actually made a call.
On the other end of the phone, a man's voice came over. He called her first, and after hearing her hum, he became excited and asked if he was free tonight and if he wanted to have dinner together.
Mingrong put down the phone, and called Cheng Lingyun again, which actually carried some begging meaning.When she saw Cheng Lingyun paused, she seemed to have heard it, but after that, she still didn't stop.
Mingrong's heart suddenly turned into ashes.
She slowly picked up the phone, stared at Ming Rong's back, but told the man on the phone with the sweetest voice in her life: "Okay, then come and pick me up tonight."
# # #
Leaving the July [-]th Bookstore, the sun has already set.
As the saying goes, one day in the sky, one year on earth.Obviously thought it was only 10 minutes, but when I came out, I realized that almost an hour had passed.
Cheng Lingyun looked up at his watch, trying to wake himself up from the confusion and anger.
All this is simply absurd.It was clearly just to ask Mingrong to come out, but it turned into a accusation and censure of the other party.
After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Lingyun unexpectedly discovered that all this seemed normal.It was as if there was some unresolved relationship in the previous life. She and Ming Rong seemed to be fighting against each other most of the time, and neither wanted to let the other go.
But this time, it was too confusing. Mingrong was surprised, and she was even more surprised. Mingrong's nonsense actually disturbed her mood, making her even think in a trance that what Mingrong said was actually Yes.
Have plans for Mingrong?
envy?
Jealous of those men being able to surround Ming Rong, flatter her, and pamper her?
Cheng Lingyun's mood was in a mess, and she felt bored for a while. Originally, she planned to visit Xiao Shengsheng after inviting Ming Rong out of the mountain tonight, but she didn't expect her to be interested in it now.
She looked at her watch, it was 10:[-], and it was estimated that it would be dark in [-] minutes, and the bar street should be lively.
There are too many things to worry about, and she has been busy for too long. Tonight, it's time for her to take a break and relax.
Thinking so, Cheng Lingyun turned off his mobile phone, went to pick up the car, and went to Bar Street.
She has a familiar place filled with beautiful girls, many of whom have come out.It's just that people come here wearing masks, pretending not to know each other, chatting, drinking, and of course there are some who see each other and leave contact information, but this has never been Cheng Lingyun's hobby, she just thinks That place is clean, the wine is delicious, and both men and women are seductive and know how to measure.
She asked for a booth by herself, and took a handmade cushion from the boss. The wine was still made by the bartender here, and she believed in the taste of the bartender.
Unexpectedly, this time the drink was served, but it was tequila and a plate of sea salt.
The wine was delivered by the boss himself, and Cheng Lingyun was a little surprised when he saw the tray: "The bartender is slow at work today?"
The boss said, "I can feel the anger in you all over your body. Let me drink some refreshing wine to quench your anger."
Cheng Lingyun said: "Leave the tequila, but remove the sea salt."
This kind of wine needs to stick sea salt to the tiger's mouth, take a sip before drinking, Cheng Lingyun knows that some people here like to play like this, but she feels dirty, and never likes to let the bartender sea salt or powdered sugar.
But the boss urged: "Try it, how will you know if it's good if you don't try it."
Cheng Lingyun said: "Then let's stay."
The boss was noisy, Cheng Lingyun had no choice but to send him away by delaying the attack.
She just wanted to listen to music alone, drink alcohol, stop thinking about those troublesome things for a while, and then go home and have a good sleep when it subsides. Tomorrow can be a new day.
Today's singer is singing jazz, and the song is from Lisa Ono. This is a female singer Cheng Lingyun likes very much. She has the enthusiasm of Barcelona, but also the purity of French chanson.Today, the female singer has a very mellow voice, and she is singing the song "Lost Paradise".
Cheng Lingyun took a sip of tequila, but the first sip was unpalatable, and the boss didn't even add ice to her. She didn't want to take another sip of this disgusting taste of alcohol.
She pushed the wine glass away and wanted to rinse her mouth, but by accident, she saw the plate of sea salt, picked it up and licked it, but felt that it was extremely salty, so she picked up the glass of wine again and took a sip.
When the strong smell of alcohol collided with the salty taste, there really was a wonderful reaction. Cheng Lingyun picked up the lemon slice from the side of the wine glass and put it in his mouth, heaving a long sigh of relief.
Really cool.
She dismissed the idea of rinsing her mouth and sat down again.The song "Lost Paradise" had already been sung, and it was replaced with "La Vie en Rose". Cheng Lingyun knew a few words of French, and when he heard this song, he thought of Ming Rong.
In her impression, Mingrong is like a rose, bright, proud, covered with thorns, but hard to let go.
She was thinking, if Mingrong was not born in Sima's family, and he did not follow the way of heaven, what would happen if they met?
She took another sip of sea salt, but this time, she tasted a little bit of bitterness again, the feeling was the same as when she heard Ming Rong's words.
She treats each other sincerely, no matter whether it has anything to do with love or not, she doesn't want to hear the phrase "You are not as good as those men" from Ming Rong's mouth.
Cheng Lingyun felt depressed, she swung the wine glass, the almost transparent liquid dangled under the dim light, refracting different light.
Suddenly, an arm wrapped around him.
She turned around and found that it was a beautiful woman.
The woman wore a v-neck tight skirt, which looked like a nightclub cafe at first glance, but her makeup was delicate and not exaggerated, and she didn't look annoying.
"Drinking alone?"
Cheng Lingyun wanted to be alone, and pointed to the man over there: "There are many handsome guys there."
The woman took the stack of sea salt and licked it with the tip of her tongue: "Don't you have a radar on you?"
"How to say?"
The woman raised Meiyan, and in a trance, Cheng Lingyun saw Mingrong's shadow.
The woman smiled and said, "Don't you feel that I like women?"
Cheng Lingyun smiled.
Dressed up like this, when she first came here, she was always hooked up by various men and women, and then she was blocked by the boss a few times. Everyone knows that there is an iceberg beauty here who is difficult to get close to and cannot be hooked up with, so they let her alone People drink and listen to music.
This time, it was the first time in the past few years that she was approached by someone.
Because this woman's eyebrows and eyes resembled Ming Rong, Cheng Lingyun was extra polite to her, and tolerated her licking her own sea salt and even tasting her own wine.
Cheng Lingyun called the waiter: "Have two more glasses, just drink the tequila."
She asked the woman beside her, "Do you want ice?"
The woman said, "Whatever."
Cheng Lingyun said: "Then drink two glasses of tequila neat, no ice cubes."
The woman said, "Bring me a drink?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "Forget it, if you can sit across from me, I should be more than happy to pay for your drinks tonight."
The woman let go of Cheng Lingyun's arm wisely, and sat up straight.Only then did Cheng Lingyun realize that her v-neck was opened quite wide, exposing almost one-third of her chest.
She suddenly lost interest in continuing the conversation.
This woman is not like Ming Rong. Ming Rong has a good figure and always reveals her skin slightly, but she doesn't give people a frivolous feeling.
Cheng Lingyun doesn't like to talk, so his demeanor is a bit cold.The woman couldn't be moved very much, so she just drank the stuffy wine face to face.
As soon as she quiets down, she feels a bit like Mingrong again.
The light was a bit dim, Cheng Lingyun shook her head, wondering if she had drunk too much tonight, she was always looking for Mingrong's shadow on the woman opposite her, sometimes she felt like it, and sometimes she didn't feel like it, it was upside down , I don't know how long I sat there.
The two sat opposite each other until almost twelve o'clock, the tequila was finished, the mood opened up, and Margarita was replaced.
The clock struck twelve, and Cheng Lingyun saw that some people got up and prepared to leave, some were ready to go home, and some were accompanied by another person to the next destination.
She has to go back too, not because there is someone waiting at home, let alone other activities, there is still a lot of work waiting for her tomorrow, and partying all night is no longer her right.
Cheng Lingyun took out his wallet, took out a few big bills and put them on the table: "I'm going back, thank you for drinking with me for so long tonight."
The woman also drank a little too much. She supported her head, and it took a while to react, her eyes were a little confused: "What time is it?"
"It's past twelve o'clock."
The woman also stood up: "I'm going home too."
She supported the booth, but because of her weakness, she stepped on high heels, and suddenly fell into Cheng Lingyun's arms.
Cheng Lingyun quickly supported her, and when the other's hair brushed her cheek, she smelled a different smell from the woman's perfume.
Cheng Lingyun's pupils shrank slightly.
But Cheng Lingyun quickly regained his composure, she helped the woman up, and asked her: "Where do you live, I'll take you back."
"Ah."
The woman was about to fall asleep, Cheng Lingyun only helped her into the car with the help of the waiter, and drove to the intersection of a small road.
The waiter asked: "Miss, don't you need to pay for your drink?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "No need, my driver will be here soon, let's meet here."
She settled the woman down and went to buy a bottle of ice water. After taking a few sips of ice water, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from behind her.
The woman came around again, rubbing her lips against her neck: "Where have you been, I won't be able to see you when I wake up."
"Going to buy water."
"Did you buy it for me?"
"Do you need water?"
Cheng Lingyun handed her the water, and the woman just took it, but Cheng Lingyun suddenly pinched her wrist, the woman screamed, and her whole face was distorted.
Under her skin, scale-like patterns appeared faintly.
Cheng Lingyun turned sideways, turned the woman's backhand, and pressed the woman against the roadside wall. The mineral water bottle hit the ground, and the water flowed all over the floor.
"There's no need to pretend, no matter how much perfume you put on your body, the smell of rotting corpses and blood can't be covered."
"Cluck cluck cluck—"
The woman whose hands had been twisted suddenly laughed sharply, and with the laughter, her body began to slide slowly.
Her shoulders slumped, her body quickly flattened, her pupils became slender, and her lipstick-painted lips were split, taking up almost half of her face.
"Boss Cheng has good eyesight..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the tail of her body flicked and suddenly attacked Cheng Lingyun's feet.
Cheng Lingyun let go of his hand, and took two steps back again and again, avoiding the attack from the woman's tail.
It was only then that she could see everything about the other person—that "person" had a half-human, half-snake head, and from the head down, it was a flat, slippery cloth-like body.
Cheng Lingyun asked: "Go back to Lingshan? Will there be a way to help you delay the five declines of heaven and man in Lingshan?"
Zhong Qin said, "I plan to go back to the Triangle Bay you mentioned to see if there is any other way."
Now most of Lingshan Mountain is occupied by the development company of Cheng Lingyun’s family, doing tourism development projects, and the rest is hidden in the clouds all day long. Because the mountain is steep and deep, it has become a Bermuda Delta-like area. triangular bay.The locals said that there was a leprosy hospital there, so they never dared to approach it.
The leprosy hospital was actually the news released by the Sima family decades ago. To a certain extent, it also prevented the Cheng family from taking the Triangle Bay, but the Sima family has never been able to enter it. .
Cheng Lingyun knew that there was a secret there. Zhong Qin was not a god survived from the ancient times. Her life experience had a lot to do with the rampant evil gods and the prevalence of witchcraft at that time.
After Zhong Qin appeared, he suppressed the evil gods such as ghost chariots that were raging at that time, and then he was enshrined by the people and built a Qin Temple, where he selected female beards to serve.
Cheng Lingyun knew that there was no other way. Zhong Qin hadn't been back to Lingshan for so many years, and he didn't know what it was like there. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was difficult and dangerous.
Cheng Lingyun asked: "I feel like you have a good relationship with Xiao Shengsheng recently? Is there anything she can do?"
Zhong Qin said, "I can't wait any longer."
Cheng Lingyun said: "Or if I remove the seal from the Yulan basin, you can try using the Yulan basin again?"
Zhong Qin shook his head: "It's useless, the Yulan Basin is useless to me."
Cheng Lingyun thought for a moment, and said: "Actually, going back to Lingshan might not be a good idea. After solving Hikaru Tanaka, the next step is to solve the ghost car. Since the ghost car can't be found, just lure him out. Lingshan treats her well." It should be particularly attractive."
Zhong Qin said again: "Remember to get me an ID card."
A few days ago, Zhong Qin mentioned this matter to Cheng Lingyun. At that time, he was so full of despair that he even said about it after his death.Zhong Qin's mind was hard to fathom. Cheng Lingyun saw that she was doing well, and suddenly brought up this matter again, asking, "Are you sure you still need an identity certificate? Everything is still unknown, so don't be too pessimistic."
Zhong Qin gave her a white look: "I'm not pessimistic, I just want an identity certificate, then I can have a romantic relationship with Xiao Shengsheng and buy a house."
In Zhong Qin's heart, longevity seems not so important anymore. Lingshan, Tang Palace, ancient mansion... In these residences that outsiders envied at that time, she was always just a passerby, calmly watching other people's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and the world. The stars are changing.Only in the last year did she start her real life. She had friends, a younger brother, Xiao Shengsheng, a mobile phone, and the ability to make money.These days, Xiao Shengsheng is not the only one who has changed.
But this is something for the future, and now the most urgent task is to find Hikaru Tanaka.The city is too big and the transportation is convenient. Many foreigners tore up their passports after coming to this city. The floating population is very difficult to manage. The police did not find any clues.
Zhong Qin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Those doll heads..."
Cheng Lingyun said: "They are all real heads."
Zhong Qin was stunned: "What??? These heads are so small, how could they be heads??"
Cheng Lingyun said: "I have also asked about this matter. The bones in these people's heads have been smashed and taken out, and the insides are filled with hot sand. This is a secret method often used by Latin American indigenous people many years ago. Now There is also this transaction on the black market, and the price is very high. Latin Americans believe that the more heads, the stronger the power."
Zhong Qin said: "Tanaka Hikaru seems to be very interested in this kind of thing that represents power?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "His family is very interested in these things. Onmyoji shikigami can no longer satisfy their desires/desires, so they came to grab the Yulan basin 80 years ago."
Zhong Qin asked: "You mean, Hikari Tanaka is a descendant of those ronin who robbed the national treasure in 1932?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "According to my investigation, yes."
Zhong Qin said: "Then I know where to find him."
Cheng Lingyun said, "An ancient house?"
After Tian Zhongguang escaped, Cheng Lingyun also wanted to go to the old house to find Tan Zhongguang, but due to various reasons, he could only check for suspicious people near the village through his personal relationship.Some time ago, it was rumored that she had already won the land, and now the listing is just a procedure, and then secretly organized the inspection meeting, if she reappears to intervene in the rights of the owner of the ancient house land, it may cause concern from other developers dissatisfied.
Zhong Qin probably understood what she meant, and said, "Whatever, you are still busy with your business. If there is news about the ghost car, I will continue to investigate. I will investigate Tanaka Hikaru. It is hard to say whether the ghost car can be solved now, but dealing with Tanaka Hikaru, I'm still fine."
Cheng Lingyun is human, far less sensitive to Shikigami than Zhong Qin, so he said, "Then I will trouble you."
But Cheng Lingyun was still worried that Zhong Qin's current physical condition might make a mistake, she planned to find some helpers, after much deliberation, she had no better choice except Ming Rong.
Tang Ling practiced Lu Ban Shu, and she was good at geomancy and incantations, but this kind of exorcising evil spirits was a layman. Tong Qiuchen opened his eyes, but he was blocked later, and there was nowhere he could help.Only Mingrong, who has seen the shikigami raised by Hikari Tanaka and fought against him, is the best candidate.
But she hadn't contacted Mingrong for several days.In the past few days, I occasionally want to open the address book when I am free. When I see the word a, I feel inexplicably anxious.
In fact, there is not much connection between them. From the time they knew each other to the present, apart from transactions, they are still transactions.What he owes now is nothing more than two debts to Ming Rong, one is for cultivating the door, and the other is the promise made by Ming Rong when he was abrupt.
Cheng Lingyun didn't think that he could fix that dilapidated door, let alone that he could make up for the mistake he made against Mingrong back then.So she never took the initiative to contact Mingrong. Mingrong was arrogant, and he would not take the initiative to contact her. The two of them were deadlocked.
Thinking about helping Zhong Qin today, Cheng Lingyun planned to go to July [-] Bookstore again, first to ask Ming Rong for help, and second to see how she is doing.
She didn't call to tell Ming Rong that she would go there. To a certain extent, Ming Rong is a house girl who doesn't like to go out to shop and join in the fun.
After work, she went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of perfumed lilies, brought a dessert, and drove to the July [-]th bookstore by herself.
It was the time for students to leave school, and many parents brought their children to buy reference materials. There were sheds outside the book market, and loudspeakers were turned on to sell the materials.At first, Cheng Lingyun was worried about what Hikaru Tanaka would leave here, but now that he saw so many people, he felt relieved.
However, some people are worried.There are also residents beside the book market, and some old men especially like to enjoy the shade under the locust tree. When it became cold outside, they came out to enjoy the shade again. The bench sits down.
Seeing Cheng Lingyun coming, these uncles took a special look at her.Because they met each other several times, Cheng Lingyun nodded and greeted them.
After saying hello, she was about to go to the bookstore when an old man stopped her.
"The girl in front, wait a moment."
It's been a long time since I've heard someone call her that. Cheng Lingyun didn't care, and continued to walk forward. The old man behind called her again, but this time the voice was a bit louder: "Young girl in white, wait. "
Only then did Cheng Lingyun turn his head around and looked at the old men suspiciously: "You called me."
The uncle said: "Yes, I call you."
Cheng Lingyun walked back and asked, "What's the matter?"
The uncle shook his cattail fan, pointed to the July [-]th Bookstore under the locust tree, and asked, "Are you a friend of the old bookstore owner?"
Cheng Lingyun froze for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."
The uncle who called her and the other uncles looked at each other, a little hesitant.
Seeing their expressions, Cheng Lingyun became nervous.
Could it be that something happened to Mingrong?
She asked: "Master, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'll listen."
The uncle is a little difficult to say: "Girl, your friend recently... isn't it a little strange?"
Cheng Lingyun asked, "For example?"
The uncle said: "I don't mean anything else, you just think I am supercilious. I have lived here for decades, and there have been many second-hand bookstores in this book market. In the past few decades, almost all of them have closed down. This bookstore is still open on July [-]th, and the boss should be doing other business. I saw many people who look like the boss come to her. But now..."
Cheng Lingyun asked: "What's the matter now?"
The uncle said: "Now, there are always many men who come to her, and it doesn't seem like a business. Sometimes they go out together, and sometimes they send her back. They seem very close, and they are different men every time. Originally We shouldn't be nosy, but the night before yesterday, in the middle of the night, she actually quarreled with a man in the book market, kicked the man, and brought the trouble to the police. Hey, she is a girl from other places. There are no friends here, and it is not easy for us neighbors to speak, so I can only ask you to remind me a few words, we still have to pay attention to safety, she is so beautiful, there must be many people with evil intentions."
Halfway through the uncle's speech, Cheng Lingyun's face darkened, and it took her a lot of effort to hold back the anger that was about to burst out, and listen to the uncle's words.
"I'll remind her."
"That would be the best."
Cheng Lingyun didn't care that Grandpa wanted to chat with her, and strode towards the July [-]th bookstore.Walking in front of him, he was startled suddenly.
The broken ebony door of the bookstore on July [-] was replaced by the most common frosted glass door, through which the cabinets and vases in the entrance could be vaguely seen.
Mingrong was really a little strange.
Cheng Lingyun didn't have time to think about it, and pushed open the door, and Ming Rong's laughter came from inside.
"So, you mean, I couldn't sleep last night because I was thinking about me?"
A young man's voice came next, sounding a little frivolous: "Who else can I miss if I don't want you?"
Mingrong said: "You are really annoying, don't think I don't know about your affairs outside."
The man's voice sounded a little anxious now: "Don't listen to the nonsense of those people outside, I only have you in my heart, or the night before yesterday, and in the middle of the night, I wouldn't have helped you deal with those policemen. That coward you injured has a very rich family background..."
Mingrong laughed again: "Understood, I see you are in a hurry."
Cheng Lingyun could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and walked towards the lobby of the bookstore.
This time, she didn't knock on the bookcase next to the door, she only saw Ming Rong sitting on the soft chair in the middle of the hall, with an old book on his lap, a cup of jasmine scented in his hand, and the Men gossiping.The man looked about 30 years old, his body was leaning, and he was almost in front of Ming Rong.
Cheng Lingyun stopped at the door and looked at Mingrong indifferently.Of course Mingrong also noticed her, but he acted as if he didn't know her, he just glanced at her, and lowered his head to take a sip of jasmine fragrance.
As soon as she lowered her head, her long hair fell down and just swept over her round shoulders.The weather is very hot, she is wearing a suspender dress without a shawl, with black hair and fair skin, she looks a little abstinent.
The man turned his back to Cheng Lingyun, before he noticed anyone at the door, he saw Ming Rong's long hair hanging down, and he reached out his hand to lift it up for her.
However, his next move was stopped by someone.
He looked up, and it turned out to be a glamorous beauty, with a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
It's a pity that this beauty has a beautiful face, but she seems to have a bad temper. Her five fingers are long and slender, and she tightly pinches his wrist, preventing him from approaching.
Mingrong didn't seem to notice, he lay back and softly uttered three words: "Get out."
The man frowned, looking at Mingrong inexplicably.
Mingrong said, "I didn't mention you, I mentioned her."
She raised her chin and pointed at Cheng Lingyun, but Cheng Lingyun let go of her hand and said to the man, "If you are fine, you can leave first. I have business to discuss with the boss."
boss?
Hearing this word, Mingrong was suddenly aroused, she put the cup of jasmine slices on the table heavily, and said to Cheng Lingyun: "I don't do business today, can you not get in my way here. "
Cheng Lingyun rejected Ming Rong with two short words: "No."
She put the flowers and desserts on the table, sat down on the chair generously, raised her long legs, and waited for Mingrong's reaction without making a sound.
Ming Rong blushed from anger, stood up and said to Cheng Lingyun: "Cheng Lingyun, you broke into the house privately, I can bear it once or twice, and I can bear it when you break into my door again and again, today you still come to provoke me ?What do you mean?"
Cheng Lingyun pointed to the man beside him: "What do I mean by asking you? I remember that you don't entertain a man alone here."
Mingrong said, "I want to change my rules in the shop I run, that's my right, what right do you have to comment on my decision?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "I just remind you to be careful and safe. Last time those three men came to do business, you kept provoking them. If it wasn't for me, do you know what would happen next?"
Mingrong was angry: "I want you to take care of it, get out!"
Only then did the man roughly understand what Mingrong meant, but she didn't guess the relationship between Cheng Lingyun and Mingrong, thinking that they were girlfriends or sisters—he couldn't control that, he only knew that these two were Great beauty, no matter who she falls in love with, she is always beautiful/blessing.
He began to act as a peacemaker, mediating the tense atmosphere between Cheng Lingyun and Ming Rong: "Don't be angry, two beauties, I think there must be some misunderstanding between you, why don't you sit down and have a chat?"
"Misunderstanding?" Mingrong laughed sarcastically, "What? Seeing that he was prettier than me, you turned against him? Do you think that what I said was deliberately finding fault with Mr. Cheng?"
The man quickly said: "Absolutely not, I just think it's not good to have a fight in this hot weather, right?"
He looked at Cheng Lingyun flatteringly, but Cheng Lingyun didn't even look at it, just stared at Ming Rong without saying a word.
"Have you decided not to go?"
Mingrong picked up the small bamboo basket under the table and took out his cell phone: "Then I'll call the police!"
When the man heard that he called the police, he became more nervous than Ming Rong, and quickly stopped her: "No, don't call the police."
Mingrong angered the man to speak for Cheng Lingyun, and shook off his hand; "You too! I see you are upset!"
She insisted on calling the police, but the man wanted to snatch her mobile phone, but Mingrong didn't want the man to touch him, so he shrank back, but the mobile phone was not steady, and it was about to fall to the ground, Cheng Lingyun opened his hands and bent down, Mingrong Before she could see clearly with the man, she had firmly caught the phone and put it on the table.
"Let's talk."
Mingrong remained silent with a cold face.
The man came to persuade Mingrong again: "You really can't call the police. Have you forgotten what happened the night before yesterday? The people over there are staring at you. You'd better keep a low profile recently."
Cheng Lingyun asked: "What happened that night?"
The man looked at Ming Rong.
Ming Rong said to the man, "Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to be kicked too?"
The man tried to persuade him with kind words, but in exchange for Ming Rong's words, his anger flared up.
"Is there something wrong with you woman? I'll help you deal with the police, go shopping and eat with you, and I'll be there for you whenever you make a call, but that's how you reacted? Do you have any fucking conscience?"
After scolding, she still felt uncomfortable, and pointed at Cheng Lingyun and said, "Take care of your friend, don't let her mess around outside, doesn't she rely on her beauty, and she has caught many men outside—"
"Get out."
The man was cursing bitterly, his anger hadn't come out yet, but he felt Cheng Lingyun beside him, surrounded by a chilling killing intent.
Killing intent, yes, killing intent.He has never experienced this feeling, let alone found the existence of this feeling from a woman.
He wanted to curse at first, but Cheng Lingyun turned his head and gave him a cold look.
Just one glance, the man's legs are a little soft.
These two women were not easy to mess with, one broke someone's leg, and the other made people's teeth chatter.
He could only stare at the two of them fiercely, then turned around and left.
In the huge hall, only Cheng Lingyun and Ming Rong were left, and the atmosphere was still not relaxed.
After a long time, Mingrong saw the flowers and dessert bags on the table, and chuckled lightly: "Apologizing now, what's the use?",
Cheng Lingyun said: "I didn't come here to apologize, as I said just now, I have business to find you."
Mingrong flicked his hair: "Why do you say that if you want to find me something serious, I will agree to see you? There are so many people waiting to see me every day, and if you want to find me something serious, I must see you. Don't exhaust me to death." ?”
Cheng Lingyun said: "But the fact is that you have been dating different men every day recently, and there is no so-called business at all."
Mingrong's movements stopped, she raised her chin, and looked at Cheng Lingyun arrogantly: "I'm dating a man, is it also hindering you?"
Cheng Lingyun didn't speak.
Mingrong asked again: "So you came today to accuse me of dating someone else, not to talk about business, Cheng Lingyun, you are quite interesting."
She walked over, walked behind Cheng Lingyun, bent down, put her hands on the back of the chair, leaned close to Cheng Lingyun's ear, and blew: "What? Jealousy?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "Jealous? Mingrong, I'm not those men, I don't have time to play such crazy games with you."
Cheng Lingyun was a little irritable, but she was well restrained, and she wouldn't show it when she was upset, but she still leaked a thing or two from her words.
Mingrong smiled and said, "Cheng Lingyun, that's not what I asked."
She played with Cheng Lingyun's hair boredly, and said, "You haven't been in a relationship for a long time, and you haven't dated either."
Cheng Lingyun didn't know what Ming Rong was trying to tell, so he could only quietly wait for her to finish speaking.
Mingrong said: "Recently, I have tried to get along with those men, and it feels pretty good. They listen to everything I say, and they come to me immediately to report after making a phone call. You don't have to tell them what you want. , they will obediently inquire about it and send it to me. They never quarrel with me, and they will not go against my will. If so, I think falling in love is pretty good."
Cheng Lingyun frowned: "You think this is love?"
Mingrong said: "Isn't it? Shouldn't lovers do this?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "You're playing tricks. Mingrong, to be honest, don't you think you're being weird lately?"
Mingrong stood up straight: "Cheng Lingyun, I don't need you to teach me what to do."
Cheng Lingyun said: "I'm just reminding you, those men flatter you, do you know what they are hiding?"
Mingrong said: "Of course I know what they are hiding from me, don't you too?"
Cheng Lingyun turned his head abruptly.
Ming Rong crossed his arms, and a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth: "Cheng Lingyun, I'm not a fool. I have such unbearable thoughts about me in my heart, but I don't have a good word in my mouth, and you threaten me to offend me over and over again. Men are worse."
"It's enough."
Cheng Lingyun endured it for a long time before suppressing the raging anger in her heart. She was fed up with Ming Rong's ridicule, and she was even more angry that she heard such a sentence.
But this is not enough.
As if wanting to recover Cheng Lingyun's past violations one by one, Mingrong dismissed the peaceful relationship between the two in the past as worthless, as if what remained in his memory was only Cheng Lingyun's treatment of her several times. Aggression, and never-ending bickering.
Cheng Lingyun stood up.
"Finished?"
Mingrong looked at her and sneered.
Cheng Lingyun said: "Then let me say one last thing, I have never interfered with your love, and I have never had any thoughts about you as you think. Yes, you are indeed the type I like, but I also have the right to choose , what kind of girlfriend is suitable for me, I know in my heart, I won't be like you, not picking any man, just for that little illusory favor."
Mingrong's face became a little ugly.
"Cheng Lingyun, do you have to belittle me like this?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "Reminding you does not mean belittle you. You should know what kind of threat those men are to you. You are worshiping the way of heaven. For those men you don't love, you pay the price. Is it worth it?" .”
Mingrong broke out: "Shut up!"
Cheng Lingyun turned around and planned to leave.
Seeing her back, Mingrong felt a little wronged in his heart.
She originally thought that she would have the opportunity to confide to Cheng Lingyun, to confide in her lost family, friendship, neglected years and childhood since she was a child.She also knew how happy it would be to be favored by another person, but she couldn't get it from Cheng Lingyun.So, how can she not get it from others.
"Cheng Lingyun!"
Mingrong called her, and Cheng Lingyun walked forward without hesitation.
Mingrong was trembling with anger, her hands were trembling, and she picked up the phone on the table several times, she didn't know what she was doing with the phone, she unlocked it and pressed it, and actually made a call.
On the other end of the phone, a man's voice came over. He called her first, and after hearing her hum, he became excited and asked if he was free tonight and if he wanted to have dinner together.
Mingrong put down the phone, and called Cheng Lingyun again, which actually carried some begging meaning.When she saw Cheng Lingyun paused, she seemed to have heard it, but after that, she still didn't stop.
Mingrong's heart suddenly turned into ashes.
She slowly picked up the phone, stared at Ming Rong's back, but told the man on the phone with the sweetest voice in her life: "Okay, then come and pick me up tonight."
# # #
Leaving the July [-]th Bookstore, the sun has already set.
As the saying goes, one day in the sky, one year on earth.Obviously thought it was only 10 minutes, but when I came out, I realized that almost an hour had passed.
Cheng Lingyun looked up at his watch, trying to wake himself up from the confusion and anger.
All this is simply absurd.It was clearly just to ask Mingrong to come out, but it turned into a accusation and censure of the other party.
After thinking about it carefully, Cheng Lingyun unexpectedly discovered that all this seemed normal.It was as if there was some unresolved relationship in the previous life. She and Ming Rong seemed to be fighting against each other most of the time, and neither wanted to let the other go.
But this time, it was too confusing. Mingrong was surprised, and she was even more surprised. Mingrong's nonsense actually disturbed her mood, making her even think in a trance that what Mingrong said was actually Yes.
Have plans for Mingrong?
envy?
Jealous of those men being able to surround Ming Rong, flatter her, and pamper her?
Cheng Lingyun's mood was in a mess, and she felt bored for a while. Originally, she planned to visit Xiao Shengsheng after inviting Ming Rong out of the mountain tonight, but she didn't expect her to be interested in it now.
She looked at her watch, it was 10:[-], and it was estimated that it would be dark in [-] minutes, and the bar street should be lively.
There are too many things to worry about, and she has been busy for too long. Tonight, it's time for her to take a break and relax.
Thinking so, Cheng Lingyun turned off his mobile phone, went to pick up the car, and went to Bar Street.
She has a familiar place filled with beautiful girls, many of whom have come out.It's just that people come here wearing masks, pretending not to know each other, chatting, drinking, and of course there are some who see each other and leave contact information, but this has never been Cheng Lingyun's hobby, she just thinks That place is clean, the wine is delicious, and both men and women are seductive and know how to measure.
She asked for a booth by herself, and took a handmade cushion from the boss. The wine was still made by the bartender here, and she believed in the taste of the bartender.
Unexpectedly, this time the drink was served, but it was tequila and a plate of sea salt.
The wine was delivered by the boss himself, and Cheng Lingyun was a little surprised when he saw the tray: "The bartender is slow at work today?"
The boss said, "I can feel the anger in you all over your body. Let me drink some refreshing wine to quench your anger."
Cheng Lingyun said: "Leave the tequila, but remove the sea salt."
This kind of wine needs to stick sea salt to the tiger's mouth, take a sip before drinking, Cheng Lingyun knows that some people here like to play like this, but she feels dirty, and never likes to let the bartender sea salt or powdered sugar.
But the boss urged: "Try it, how will you know if it's good if you don't try it."
Cheng Lingyun said: "Then let's stay."
The boss was noisy, Cheng Lingyun had no choice but to send him away by delaying the attack.
She just wanted to listen to music alone, drink alcohol, stop thinking about those troublesome things for a while, and then go home and have a good sleep when it subsides. Tomorrow can be a new day.
Today's singer is singing jazz, and the song is from Lisa Ono. This is a female singer Cheng Lingyun likes very much. She has the enthusiasm of Barcelona, but also the purity of French chanson.Today, the female singer has a very mellow voice, and she is singing the song "Lost Paradise".
Cheng Lingyun took a sip of tequila, but the first sip was unpalatable, and the boss didn't even add ice to her. She didn't want to take another sip of this disgusting taste of alcohol.
She pushed the wine glass away and wanted to rinse her mouth, but by accident, she saw the plate of sea salt, picked it up and licked it, but felt that it was extremely salty, so she picked up the glass of wine again and took a sip.
When the strong smell of alcohol collided with the salty taste, there really was a wonderful reaction. Cheng Lingyun picked up the lemon slice from the side of the wine glass and put it in his mouth, heaving a long sigh of relief.
Really cool.
She dismissed the idea of rinsing her mouth and sat down again.The song "Lost Paradise" had already been sung, and it was replaced with "La Vie en Rose". Cheng Lingyun knew a few words of French, and when he heard this song, he thought of Ming Rong.
In her impression, Mingrong is like a rose, bright, proud, covered with thorns, but hard to let go.
She was thinking, if Mingrong was not born in Sima's family, and he did not follow the way of heaven, what would happen if they met?
She took another sip of sea salt, but this time, she tasted a little bit of bitterness again, the feeling was the same as when she heard Ming Rong's words.
She treats each other sincerely, no matter whether it has anything to do with love or not, she doesn't want to hear the phrase "You are not as good as those men" from Ming Rong's mouth.
Cheng Lingyun felt depressed, she swung the wine glass, the almost transparent liquid dangled under the dim light, refracting different light.
Suddenly, an arm wrapped around him.
She turned around and found that it was a beautiful woman.
The woman wore a v-neck tight skirt, which looked like a nightclub cafe at first glance, but her makeup was delicate and not exaggerated, and she didn't look annoying.
"Drinking alone?"
Cheng Lingyun wanted to be alone, and pointed to the man over there: "There are many handsome guys there."
The woman took the stack of sea salt and licked it with the tip of her tongue: "Don't you have a radar on you?"
"How to say?"
The woman raised Meiyan, and in a trance, Cheng Lingyun saw Mingrong's shadow.
The woman smiled and said, "Don't you feel that I like women?"
Cheng Lingyun smiled.
Dressed up like this, when she first came here, she was always hooked up by various men and women, and then she was blocked by the boss a few times. Everyone knows that there is an iceberg beauty here who is difficult to get close to and cannot be hooked up with, so they let her alone People drink and listen to music.
This time, it was the first time in the past few years that she was approached by someone.
Because this woman's eyebrows and eyes resembled Ming Rong, Cheng Lingyun was extra polite to her, and tolerated her licking her own sea salt and even tasting her own wine.
Cheng Lingyun called the waiter: "Have two more glasses, just drink the tequila."
She asked the woman beside her, "Do you want ice?"
The woman said, "Whatever."
Cheng Lingyun said: "Then drink two glasses of tequila neat, no ice cubes."
The woman said, "Bring me a drink?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "Forget it, if you can sit across from me, I should be more than happy to pay for your drinks tonight."
The woman let go of Cheng Lingyun's arm wisely, and sat up straight.Only then did Cheng Lingyun realize that her v-neck was opened quite wide, exposing almost one-third of her chest.
She suddenly lost interest in continuing the conversation.
This woman is not like Ming Rong. Ming Rong has a good figure and always reveals her skin slightly, but she doesn't give people a frivolous feeling.
Cheng Lingyun doesn't like to talk, so his demeanor is a bit cold.The woman couldn't be moved very much, so she just drank the stuffy wine face to face.
As soon as she quiets down, she feels a bit like Mingrong again.
The light was a bit dim, Cheng Lingyun shook her head, wondering if she had drunk too much tonight, she was always looking for Mingrong's shadow on the woman opposite her, sometimes she felt like it, and sometimes she didn't feel like it, it was upside down , I don't know how long I sat there.
The two sat opposite each other until almost twelve o'clock, the tequila was finished, the mood opened up, and Margarita was replaced.
The clock struck twelve, and Cheng Lingyun saw that some people got up and prepared to leave, some were ready to go home, and some were accompanied by another person to the next destination.
She has to go back too, not because there is someone waiting at home, let alone other activities, there is still a lot of work waiting for her tomorrow, and partying all night is no longer her right.
Cheng Lingyun took out his wallet, took out a few big bills and put them on the table: "I'm going back, thank you for drinking with me for so long tonight."
The woman also drank a little too much. She supported her head, and it took a while to react, her eyes were a little confused: "What time is it?"
"It's past twelve o'clock."
The woman also stood up: "I'm going home too."
She supported the booth, but because of her weakness, she stepped on high heels, and suddenly fell into Cheng Lingyun's arms.
Cheng Lingyun quickly supported her, and when the other's hair brushed her cheek, she smelled a different smell from the woman's perfume.
Cheng Lingyun's pupils shrank slightly.
But Cheng Lingyun quickly regained his composure, she helped the woman up, and asked her: "Where do you live, I'll take you back."
"Ah."
The woman was about to fall asleep, Cheng Lingyun only helped her into the car with the help of the waiter, and drove to the intersection of a small road.
The waiter asked: "Miss, don't you need to pay for your drink?"
Cheng Lingyun said: "No need, my driver will be here soon, let's meet here."
She settled the woman down and went to buy a bottle of ice water. After taking a few sips of ice water, a gust of cold wind suddenly came from behind her.
The woman came around again, rubbing her lips against her neck: "Where have you been, I won't be able to see you when I wake up."
"Going to buy water."
"Did you buy it for me?"
"Do you need water?"
Cheng Lingyun handed her the water, and the woman just took it, but Cheng Lingyun suddenly pinched her wrist, the woman screamed, and her whole face was distorted.
Under her skin, scale-like patterns appeared faintly.
Cheng Lingyun turned sideways, turned the woman's backhand, and pressed the woman against the roadside wall. The mineral water bottle hit the ground, and the water flowed all over the floor.
"There's no need to pretend, no matter how much perfume you put on your body, the smell of rotting corpses and blood can't be covered."
"Cluck cluck cluck—"
The woman whose hands had been twisted suddenly laughed sharply, and with the laughter, her body began to slide slowly.
Her shoulders slumped, her body quickly flattened, her pupils became slender, and her lipstick-painted lips were split, taking up almost half of her face.
"Boss Cheng has good eyesight..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the tail of her body flicked and suddenly attacked Cheng Lingyun's feet.
Cheng Lingyun let go of his hand, and took two steps back again and again, avoiding the attack from the woman's tail.
It was only then that she could see everything about the other person—that "person" had a half-human, half-snake head, and from the head down, it was a flat, slippery cloth-like body.
