What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 97 Who Follows Who

Xiang Kun and Zicheng went to the convenience store to buy some snacks and returned to the hotel. When they saw the door of an elevator was about to close, they hurried over to press it open.

But when they walked into the elevator and saw the two girls in the elevator, both of them froze at the same time.

The ones in the elevator turned out to be Zhang Qian and Yang Jie who had chatted in the bar for a while before, but did not leave their contact information.

It wasn't until the elevator door closed automatically that Xiang Kun was the first to break the silence in the elevator: What a coincidence? You also live in this hotel?

Zhang Qian looked suspiciously at the faces of the two of them for a while, nodded and said, Yes, you too? She remembered that Liu Chuang had mentioned it when chatting in the bar before, and he just arrived at the hotel today. City, I just passed by to meet friends, and I'm leaving tomorrow, could it be that I just happen to be staying in this hotel?

After the elevator door closed, Zicheng was about to press his floor, but found that the floor he was going to was already lit up, and the button had already been pressed. How dare those two girls still live on the same floor as him?

The elevator fell into silence again, and soon they reached the 16th floor where they lived. After the elevator door opened, Xiang Kun and Zicheng asked the two girls to go out first, and waited for them to disappear around the corner before they got out of the elevator. .

But the room where the two sisters lived was only four rooms away from Zicheng's room. When Xiang Kun and the others walked over, the door of their room had just closed.

These two guys are following us secretly? After closing the door, Yang Jie moved her eyes closer to the cat's eyes, looking at the fat man and the bald man passing by.

But then she said with some uncertainty: It stands to reason that it shouldn't be. They left before us, and they didn't see the car they were driving on the road. It should be just a coincidence. Or, they knew about you in advance. The hotel to stay in has already been arranged?

Zhang Qian thought for a while, then shook her head and said, They were surprised when they saw us in the elevator just now, it doesn't look like acting. And... what's the point of staying in the same hotel? You can't knock on the door in the middle of the night, right?

...

On the other side, after opening the door of his room, Zicheng couldn't help turning his head and muttering to Xiang Kun: What's the matter? They didn't follow us, did they? He wasn't excited about meeting a beautiful woman by chance, but It was quite apprehensive, even a little creepy.

Xiang Kun frowned and said, It shouldn't be. Didn't that Zhang Qian say that she has only been back from England for a few days? It's normal to live in a hotel. Maybe they have lived in this hotel for several days. Judging from their expressions just now Let’s see, I’m probably wondering if the two of us are stalkers.” In fact, when passing by Zhang Qian’s room, Xiang Kun deliberately listened to what they had to say in the room, and he was basically sure that this was a coincidence coincidence events.

Zicheng didn't discuss this matter any further, the two of them took a bottle of mineral water each, and sat down by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room to chat.

Huh? You seem to be drinking water from dinner at night, either mineral water or soda water. I remember when you were in college, you liked iced tea and pulsating tea the most. Zicheng asked strangely.

Xiang Kun shook his head: I basically stopped drinking after work. The sugar content is too high. Instead, I drink black coffee, tea, and occasionally Red Bull to refresh myself.

Zicheng sighed: Everyone has changed a lot.

Xiang Kun talked about his work experience in the past few years, and Zicheng also talked about his study and entrepreneurial life in the United States.

During the meal before, Zicheng talked briefly about starting a business, without discussing it in depth. When he was blowing water with his sisters at the bar, he just talked about interesting stories about his business with some exaggerated rhetoric, without too many details. Not to mention why the company was sold and returned to China.

But now it was only him and Xiang Kun, who seemed to have opened up the chatterbox all of a sudden, talking about all kinds of living abroad.

I used to hear people say that the longer you go abroad, the more patriotic you become. I didn't believe it. But a few years ago, when I was watching the live broadcast of the Olympic Games with a group of foreign students,

A dozen of us elders sang the national anthem on TV until we cried, can you believe it?

Before I went abroad, I always thought that America is good, it is a paradise of technology, Silicon Valley is good, it is the cradle of high-tech enterprises, angel investors are really angels...

Hey, I'm still too stupid and naive. It would be great if I could go through time. If I do it again, I will be very different!

Ah Tu... You must be careful of those who play with capital, those who play with capital are too scary...

It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning that Zicheng collapsed on the sofa and snored. Before, Xiang Kun felt that even though this little fat man had been abroad for so many years, studying and starting a business, he hadn't changed much. He was still an optimist, always smiling at others.

But just now, after listening to him vomit so much bitterness, I realized that he has been wronged and suffered a lot in the past few years. He started his business in the United States without using a penny from his family. From building a team to attracting investment, he is all himself. Come on, really grow a lot. Although in the end, due to various reasons, I couldn't persevere, so I had to go back to China and accept the family's arrangement, and I said it very freely during the meal, but there was still a lot of unwillingness in my heart.

Xiang Kun took a blanket and covered Zicheng, then stood in front of the french window, looked out at the darkest scene before dawn, and sighed softly.

Life is not easy for everyone...

Naturally, Xiang Kun didn't need to sleep, so he used his mobile phone to flip through some PDF books he had downloaded before. After eight o'clock, Chang Bin came to look for them.

Pull up Zicheng who is sleepy, have breakfast together, and then send him to the airport.

When I left the hotel, I didn't meet Zhang Qian and Yang Jie again.

I'm going to run around a lot in the future, and I'll see you again when I have a chance! If you have time, you can also call me and come and play with me! Among other things, our hot spring is a must! Zi Cheng Before walking into the waiting hall, he said to the two people who sent him off.

Don't worry, you're back in China now, we won't let go of the opportunity to eat the rich! Chang Bin said with a smile.

On the way back from the airport, Chang Bin looked ahead and said slowly: I thought about the matter you said you wanted to go back to your hometown during dinner last night. With your personality, you must have made this decision after careful consideration. Yes, it’s meaningless for me to persuade you. I just think it’s a pity for you to go back like this. It’s a pity to operate these years. The technology has developed so fast. After a few years, it’s hard to say whether your technical ability can keep up with the front line. Sigh , Anyway, think about it for yourself, anyway, if you need help, just ask.

Don't worry, I won't be polite to you. Xiang Kun nodded with a smile.

Back in the neighborhood where he was, after getting out of the elevator, Xiang Kun found a large cardboard box at the door and a plastic bag hanging on the doorknob.

Picking up the plastic bag with some doubts, I saw a box of lollipops and a letter inside. Inside the letter was a picture drawn with colored pencils. There were two people in the picture, one was a tall, bald man, and the other was a relatively short little girl. , whether it is a man or a little girl, the lines are relatively simple and rough, but the characteristics are still relatively distinct. It is easy to see that this painting is him and the little chubby girl Liu Shiling.

The painting and the lollipop were obviously left to him by Liu Shiling.

Xiang Kun opened the carton and looked at it again, and found that it was a rice cooker that was probably new. He recognized it at a glance, and it belonged to Liu Shiling's family.

With a move in his heart, Xiang Kun immediately sensed the coin 1 and found that coin 1 was no longer in this city. Judging from the sensing distance, he was probably out of the province.

He looked back at the closed door of 706, and sighed slightly. It seems that the incident that happened before was still spread in the community. Shiling's mother must have moved out because she was worried that it would affect Liu Shiling. Be sold.
