In fact, I wasn't really asking Shen Shi, I just blurted out such a sentence out of surprise.
Because directly above my head, a blood-red moon hung high.
But this is not Zhuo Yi's blood moon barrier. Instead, the air is filled with the unique death energy of the vampires. Even looking upward, you can see a few bats flying past the outline of the moon and gradually blending into the night.
My intuition told me that Daniel was probably in trouble.
"What what?"
After hearing what I shouted, Shen Shi also raised her head and looked up: "Oh, what do you mean about the color of the moon? It's normal. There should be a total lunar eclipse tonight."
"Maybe, it probably has something to do with the snow that just fell."
I felt that I needed to go back to the bar to take a look, so I made an excuse: "By the way, sister, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. Where is your home? I'll take you back first."
"Ah? Ah, that's not necessary. My home is not far from here. You can just go back by yourself."
Maybe it was because my attitude changed too quickly and I had to leave suddenly after a good chat, which made Shen Shi a little embarrassed.
She hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked me: "Then... let me call you a taxi? Do you know where you live?"
I said a few polite words to her: "No, no, I can just take a taxi myself. How far is your home from here? It just so happens that I can take a taxi and give you a break."
"No need. I'll be there in five minutes' walk. You can go back by yourself..."
She couldn't finish what she said because the cell phone in her bag suddenly rang.
Shen Shi put her hand in and took it out twice, then took out her phone and took a look: "Qiane called."
I nodded: "Well, you answer first."
"good."
She picked up the phone and put it to her ear, and the two chatted for a while.
I listened intently, and the general idea seemed to be that the other party asked where Shen Shi was. When they got home, Shen Shi said that she was still outside for a walk or something.
But as she was talking, she suddenly showed an expression of shock, covered the phone with her hand and took two steps to the side.
I knew that she must be hiding something from me with her behavior.
I was about to use my mental strength to listen to what the two people were whispering secretly, but it happened that several cars passed by, and the noise of the engine blocked the sound.
As soon as the cars left, Shen Shi came back with the phone in her arms and looked at me with that strange look in her eyes: "Your friend is pretty awesome."
He said to me a little confused: "Why do you still say such a thing?"
"Chie said she won't be back tonight and asked me to help her carry her bag when she goes to school tomorrow afternoon."
The way she looked at me was somewhat ambiguous: "I just hooked up with another girl less than an hour after we met. Is there anything wrong with me saying your friend is awesome?"
"That's really quite capable."
I was somewhat confused by what she said, so I lowered my head and glanced: "Hey, why didn't you put down your phone?"
"Because Daniel asked me to help him ask you when you will go back. Aren't I waiting for your reply?"
I was even more puzzled, so I simply stretched out my hand and said, "Then give me your phone number and I'll talk to him myself."
Shen Shi handed over the phone, and I took the phone and put it to my ear: "Daniel?"
"It's me."
"Why, I heard from Shen Shi that you won't go back to Zhuo Yi's place tonight?"
"Yes, I got along quite well with this Miss Sato. It just so happens that tonight is her birthday, and I plan to celebrate it with her."
Daniel paused for a moment: "Gu, do you understand what I mean?"
I knew that Daniel was hinting at me. He probably saw that something was not right about this woman and wanted to use his trick to test her.
But I was still a little worried, so I asked in a roundabout way: "Understood, did you bring your wallet when you went out just now? You can't let other girls spend money when celebrating someone's birthday."
Daniel's answer was very natural: "Don't worry, I have everything with me, and I will call my local staff if necessary. You can go back without worries, or spend time with the new friends you just met."
Obviously, what Daniel meant by this was that he was sure, and his men were probably on standby nearby and would show up immediately if something happened.
Anyway, Daniel is behaving quite normally now.
I guess the sudden change in color of the moon above his head was a sign of him mobilizing his men. Thinking of this, I felt relieved: "Okay, then please pay attention to your safety. We have to do things tomorrow morning, so don't delay."
"Well, see you tomorrow morning."
Then he hung up the phone.
I handed the phone back to Shen Shi, and after taking it back, she stuffed it into her bag and asked me, "Then if you have nothing to do, I'll leave first?"
"I'd better give it to you."
Anyway, Daniel was fine, so I made up a lie casually: "I originally said there was something wrong just now because I suddenly remembered that Daniel just said that he wanted to talk about going out tomorrow when he got home in the evening.
Then he has said that he can't come back now, and I have nothing to do, so I'd better send you home."
One sentence made Shen Shi happy: "How can you think that one thing is the same thing?"
"Hey, aren't you reluctant to be separated from you?"
I made a gesture of invitation: "Anyway, if you don't mind the cold, let's continue shopping."
Shen Shi smiled and smoothed her hair: "Then if you really want to see me off, let's turn back and go that way."
I tilted my head and asked her, "What does this mean?"
"Actually, this is not the direction back to my house. I just thought you just wanted to take a walk and just wanted to go to the beach. So if you send me off, we will have to go back."
Perhaps because she was afraid that I would misunderstand what she was implying, Shen Shi's eyes were a little dodgey when she spoke.
I didn't pick up the issue, raised my hand and pointed behind me: "Okay, let's go back."
After that, the two of us walked back along the road we had just come from. We chatted a few words along the way, but they were all indifferent.
She told me about the customs and customs here in Vladivostok. I kept talking about trains and told her that I was doing business in China. This time it was also because of the domestic economic downturn. I wanted to come here to inspect and see what I could do. .
Anyway, in the end, it was all about getting closer to each other. After all, I always felt that there was something wrong with the little Japanese girl, so I thought I would have a chance to go up and take a look after sending her home.
Of course, even if she doesn't agree, I can still secretly follow her and sneak up, but this will be a bit troublesome. It would be best if she is willing to take me back.
I walked along that road for about fifteen minutes. When I reached a relatively high-end residential area, Shen Shi stopped and looked at me: "Our dormitory is above this building, the one on the left on the 11th floor. that is."
Then I couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so I said casually: "Ah, you're here, let's go over there. I'll watch you go upstairs and then leave."
But Shen Shi's next words made me feel like there was something going on, and I shouldn't need to follow her secretly.
