Author: Kitten wants to become a fairy
"Let's hurry up."
At the dinner table, Li Mobai first opened a bottle of liquor for himself, and without any intention of pouring wine for Chen Jing and Qiao Youning, he blew a third of the bottle.
"After this meal, I have to rush to the city. There is still a meeting over there..."
"It's different when our brother Li becomes the vice president." Chen Jing said loudly, "Now you can understand the feeling of a busy person, right?"
"Can you please stop hurting me? I didn't have any leisure time before!" Li Mobai couldn't laugh or cry, "Isn't he going back soon? Before leaving, let the candidates make some preparations. Don't do anything dangerous before traveling. Elsewhere
In a dangerous environment..."
"They are not stupid." Qiao Youning couldn't help but complain, then turned back and looked outside the room, "Ajing, won't they have dinner with us?"
"There will be plenty of opportunities to eat when we go back, so we are not in a hurry." Chen Jing said with a smile, "Let's talk about our affairs."
"I don't know if this forum friend can still use it when he returns to the other world..." Li Mobai looked a little uneasy when talking about this, "If it can be used... it should be a lot easier for us to communicate..."
"It's a pity that you are not in Yongye." Chen Jing said helplessly, "The communication methods in this world are not uniform, and it is useless for us to leave our phone numbers."
"Ji Zhou didn't even have a phone call..." Qiao Youning lowered her head and poked the white rice in the bowl with her chopsticks, "If I want to meet again... I guess I can only wait until this round of exams is over..."
During the time when he first returned to the outside world, Chen Jing always felt that life was like a year, because for him, the "home" in the outside world was the real home.
There is a grandfather and there are friends.
Living there is much more comfortable than living in the outside world.
But today.
Chen Jing suddenly felt that time passed very quickly, and thirty days disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"I heard from You Ning that you have been working very hard during this period..." Li Mobai poured another sip of white wine into his mouth, and the glimmer of light in Bioyi's eyes danced faintly, "I didn't see you when I came here today... You Ning
Ning said you took them to practice their sequence powers..."
Chen Jing hummed and nodded.
"It's always good to make some preparations first. When I get back to Evernight City, there will be Raphael waiting for me..."
"Damn it, you're going to kill him when you get back!" Li Mobai gritted his teeth and cursed, as if he was very angry, "He is really stubborn! We haven't been able to find his location until now!"
"It's okay, we'll talk about it later when we get back to the other world." Chen Jing picked up the cold soda in the cup and touched it with Li Mobai's wine bottle, "You don't have to worry about me here. Just pay attention to your own safety after you go back and don't get hurt for no reason.
.”
"Ouch, the top guy on the list speaks differently..." Li Mobai felt panicked when he thought of the ranking on the list, and couldn't help but get angry, "You have to protect me when you get back to the other world!"
"Easy to say." Chen Jing grinned.
After three rounds of drinking...
It didn't take long actually.
Less than ten minutes after the meal started, Li Mobai received more than twenty messages urging him to go to the meeting.
Chen Jing and Qiao Youning did not dare to keep this busy man any longer, so they could only say goodbye to him in a hurry and let him go back to the city for a meeting.
"These dogs have so many things going on..."
Li Mobai was still cursing when he left. When he said goodbye, he shook hands with Qiao Youning, hugged his good brother Chen Jing, and then walked away coolly with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Live well." Li Mobai only left these words.
Looking at Li Mobai's hurried away figure, Chen Jing couldn't help but froze for a moment while sitting on the chair, and turned to look at the briefcase on the sofa.
"He doesn't even think about it when he goes out... He just left behind the documents needed for the meeting..."
"I'll go give it to him." Qiao Youning stood up and picked up the briefcase without waiting for Chen Jing to refuse, "You've been busy practicing all day. Just take a good rest now and I'll go."
"Okay...then come back quickly! We have about ten minutes to go back to the examination room!"
"I know~"
…
Rather than driving back to the city, Li Mobai chose to run back directly. After all, his speed was much faster than that of a car, but his running posture was a bit inelegant.
If Chen Jing saw him, he would definitely complain that he was a crazy wild monkey in the mountains...
When Qiao Youning caught up with him, he was almost going down the mountain.
"Bag." Qiao Youning threw the briefcase directly.
"Damn it, I almost forgot...thank you!" Li Mobai nodded with a smile and hugged the briefcase tightly with a look of joy on his face.
"Tell you something."
Qiao Youning had no intention of leaving. She stood under a tree with her hands behind her back, looking at Li Mobai who was more than ten meters away, looking a little wary.
"Say." Li Mobai nodded.
"I probably know what you have been busy with these days... A Jing is not a fool... He can also see it..." Qiao Youning said calmly, "So be careful... don't involve him...
"
Li Mobai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"In what capacity are you warning me?"
"Friend." Qiao Youning replied with a smile, "You are the same, aren't you?"
"Hey, you have really changed. After a trip to another world, the world has become..." Li Mobai shook his head helplessly.
"He's become less stupid." Qiao Youning put away the smile on her face, and her expression gradually became serious, "He doesn't like those worldly things, you should know... But I think that as his friend, you
He probably wouldn’t do that.”
"I know you're still asking me!" Li Mobai cursed angrily, "Do I have such a grandson?"
"I'm afraid you might accidentally let it slip one day. After all, you know his character. If he hears that you are in trouble and need help, he will definitely..."
"I know, you don't need to remind me."
Li Mobai raised his head and glanced at the cloudless sky. He felt that the afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, making him feel inexplicably irritated.
"By the way, how are you doing with him now?"
"What?"
"Relationship." Li Mobai seemed to have remembered something funny, and suddenly glanced at Qiao Youning playfully, "Don't you like him? We have been living together for almost a month now, and the relationship has not made any progress?"
"Being friends is enough." Qiao Youning turned around and prepared to go back, as if she didn't want to continue this topic.
"I don't understand you anymore. You obviously like his face so much that you like it so much. Now that you see it every day, you can still hold it in... and you don't even confess?"
"I'm not as superficial as you think. I don't like him just because of his face." Qiao Youning stopped and looked back at Li Mobai, "From the time I was sensible until high school, I never felt respected. He was the only one who respected me.
Willing to help me..."
Li Mobai lit a cigarette and just smiled without saying anything.
He knew what Qiao Youning was like in the past, so he didn't feel surprised to hear these words.
After all, a child who is neglected by his family and has a slovenly appearance will not be easily respected or liked by others.
Adults don't like it.
The same goes for peers.
Li Mobai still remembers that Qiao Youning in high school was actually inconspicuous, and she was very different from who she is now... thick glasses that could cover half of her face, plus acne on her face during adolescence, and dry and messy hair.
Always wear a braid casually.
Can't say ugly.
I can only say that it is inconspicuous.
Like air.
Even before the last class reunion, when he got Qiao Youning's message, Li Mobai didn't recognize her at first sight.
"When I was in high school, I was always treated as nothing, even by the female classmates who seemed to have a good relationship with me. They liked to treat me like a servant, and from time to time they would find excuses to suppress me, saying that I was not good here or there.
…”
Qiao Youning seemed to be telling another person's story, but a layer of mist appeared in Li Mobai's eyes, but her tone was still shockingly calm.
"You also know my submissive character at that time. I listened to whatever they said because I only had those friends."
"I have tried to talk to them more than once about my family and the grievances I have suffered since childhood, but they never took it to heart and used it as a joke to tell others. When I got angry, I said I couldn't take a joke.
Too stingy... I had to apologize to them in the end."
Li Mobai stopped laughing and scratched his head, his expression a little embarrassed.
"Only Chen Jing has never done this. The first time he heard about my family's affairs from outsiders was when my best friend told him as a joke. Everyone else was laughing at me for being useless. Only he
He handed me a note in private, first to enlighten me, and then to teach me how to change the current situation..."
"He does this to everyone." Li Mobai spread his hands, "As long as he doesn't hate that person too much, he will do this. It's not like you don't know that the person named Chen is a standard bad guy... I feel it, you
It just amplifies the feeling."
To be continued...
