When Feng Nianen arrived at the airport lobby, it was already 1:46. The plane had already landed. Fortunately, Long Xinsheng was still in seclusion. He waited for a moment. He wanted to find someone to write a sign, but when he remembered Zhang Jiru's instructions, he could only identify himself in the crowd. It was not until the large crowd dispersed that he saw a man in a dark blue suit.
Feng Nianen was shocked when he saw him. He finally understood why he looked familiar. This person was actually similar to Lan Ya in some aspects. It was not his appearance or figure, but his temperament that gave people a strange feeling of emptiness.
Before he could greet her, that person had already arrived beside him. "Feng Nianen, right?"
He nodded." You…"
"I'm the Long Xinsheng you're going to pick up.”
"I know, but…"
"You want to know why I know you, right?”The other party said confidently.
He couldn't help but nod. He suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Long Xinsheng revealed a bright smile." It's simple. I've always had the habit of understanding my opponents.”
He frowned slightly and did not say anything.
"Hehe, just kidding. Since I was the last passenger on this flight, and you looked like you were waiting for someone, plus I had heard Mr. Zhang mention you before, it was not difficult to guess.”
Feng Nianen nodded and didn't say anything else. The two of them got their luggage and left the airport.
"Master, please stay in the hotel for the time being.”After driving for a while, Feng Nianen said," Which hotel do you like?”
"Which one?" Long Xinsheng snapped his fingers." Moonlight is fine."”
Feng Nianen glanced at him. The hotel he was talking about was built in the past two years. Although it was amazing for its artificial night view, it shouldn't be famous enough to spread to the United States. Moreover, this hotel belonged to Zhang Corporation's biggest rival, Wei Te Corporation.
"Is there a problem?"
"No, I haven't."
"Moonlight doesn't have day."
This was the slogan of the Moonlight Hotel, and it was also the most appropriate description for it. Whether it was the lobby, dining room, guest room, or passageway, almost all the indoor buildings were decorated as if it was night. There was no natural light in the Moonlight Hotel, and there was very little light. Rows of candles of various colors and shapes lit up the entire hotel.
Although many young people who pursued novelty liked to dine in the restaurant of the Moonlight Hotel, and although many tourists were willing to stay in the Moonlight Hotel after hearing the introduction, almost no one would stay here for too long. Although the moonlight was hazy and beautiful, it was also unbearable.
All the curtains and curtains in the hotel were made of thick and noble velvet, and the floors of all the rooms were covered with colorful long-haired carpets.
The dim light, the thick fabric, and the staff in traditional uniforms made everyone feel both novel and deeply suppressed.
When they arrived at the castle-like building, they handed the car over to the staff to park it. The two of them entered the lobby at the same time. This was not the first time Feng Nianen had walked into this place, but after entering the thick wooden door, he still couldn't help but gasp. What made him uncomfortable was that after the initial unfamiliarity, he actually liked this place a little.
That's right, this place without sunlight was indeed suitable for his current physique. He lowered his eyes and restrained the churning in his heart.
The two of them went to the counter and Long Xinsheng took out his ID.
"One person, a standard room. For the time being…let's stay for half a month!”
"Half a month?" The receptionist was stunned and looked up." Are you sure, sir?”
"Of course. Why? Do you think I've lived here for too long?”Long Xinsheng smiled, his face indescribably handsome.
"No, of course not. It's just that if you don't stay for enough days, we will charge a certain fee when we check out.”The lady at the counter explained with a blush.
"I know." Long Xinsheng smiled." If I didn't have enough rooms, I wouldn't have argued with you guys over this.”
The receptionist's face turned even redder as she quickly completed the check-in procedures. "Third floor, number fifteen. This is your door card.”
Feng Nianen sat down for a while in Long Xinsheng's room before standing up.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. This is my number. If you need anything, please don't stand on ceremony.”
"Aren't you going to welcome me?" Long Xinsheng made a call to the guest room.
"This…I won't disturb you.”Although Zhang Jiru had asked him to have a meal with this person, Feng Nianen didn't have a good impression of him.
"Have a meal with me. I heard that the restaurant here is very unique. It's too boring to eat alone. Moreover, you and I will work together in the future. Let's get to know each other first.”"Wait for me to change my clothes," he said without any room for refusal.”
Seeing him like this, although Feng Nianen was unhappy, he couldn't leave immediately. He could only sit down.
Five minutes later, the two of them arrived at the restaurant. It could be said that this was the most pleasant place in the entire Moonlight Hotel. There was a roundabout path through the artificial lake, the artificial crescent moon reflected in the lake, the silver lampstand on the dining table, and the rose fragrance that filled the air. Although the thick curtains still made people feel a little oppressive, it made them feel a little more refreshing because of the water vapor.
Feng Nianen casually ordered a plate of spaghetti, while Long Xinsheng ordered the steak set meal with a good appetite.
How's Wenwen doing recently?" Long Xinsheng sipped his red wine and spoke casually.
Feng Nianen was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about Zhang Hanwen.
"Although I received her photo, I think she must be more beautiful in person.”
"Yes."
"There are many boys chasing her, right?"
"Yes."
" Sigh," he sighed." In the blink of an eye, she's already so big. Six years ago, she was still a little girl. I remember when I left, she hugged my nose and cried.”
Feng Nianen frowned and didn't answer.
"By the way, you have a girlfriend too, right?”He suddenly asked as if he had thought of something.
Feng Nianen lowered his eyes and paused for a moment before answering,"Yes."
"Oh?" Long Xinsheng looked at him excitedly." Wenwen didn't mention this in the letter. She must be a very cute girl."”
"Yes, I am." For some reason, a thin face with a cigarette in his mouth and casually cursing suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Hehe, looking at you, you must be very…"
Suddenly, Long Xinsheng stopped talking. His expression was strange, as if he had seen something shocking.
Feng Nianen followed his gaze and was shocked. On the other side of the lake, a gorgeous woman was whispering something into the ear of a man in a black suit. That man was Susa!
Under the candlelight, Susa's expression was a little blurry, but it could be seen that he was a little different from last night. At this moment, he carried a domineering evil aura that dominated everything. A strange light flashed in his pale golden eyes, and then he stared at Long Xinsheng like a hunter.
Yes, although Feng Nianen was a little flustered at this time, he was sure that he was not looking at her. Then, a seductive smile appeared on his evil and beautiful face. He raised the wine glass in his hand as if he was greeting them. From the beginning to the end, his gaze did not stop on Feng Nianen.
"You know him?" Seeing this strange situation, Feng Nianen couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm? Um…Ah!" Long Xin suddenly came back to his senses. Under the flickering candlelight…one could vaguely see that his skin had turned pale, but he still smiled. You mean…that mister just now? How could that be? I thought he was your friend."
"Is that so?" Feng Nianen took a bite of the noodles and chewed on it without saying anything else.
When he was about to finish his spaghetti, he heard Long Xinsheng ask nonchalantly,""Just now…um, it was that silver-haired man. Do you know him?”
Feng Nianen was silent for a moment." I don't know. I only know that he's good at riding motorcycles.”
"So he's a driver?"
"I'm not sure."
"Do you really not know anything else about him?”As if sensing that his tone was too agitated, Long Xinsheng immediately clarified,""Yes, I'm just curious. That person's appearance is quite special.”
"Yes, I don't know anything else." After finishing the last mouthful of noodles, he looked at Long Xinsheng's plate. He hadn't touched it since then, but he had almost finished the bottle of red wine.
" Hehe…" Long Xinsheng smiled when he saw him looking at his plate." I don't feel anything when I eat these things outside, but I can't do it when I'm back in China." Looks like we still have to eat Chinese dishes.”
"There are some good dishes here. Do you want to order some more?”
"No, there's no need." Long Xinsheng drank the last glass of red wine in one gulp." I'm a little tired after flying for more than ten hours. I'd better go back and take a shower and sleep."”
"Then I won't disturb your rest. If you need anything, feel free to call me.”
The two of them stood up and walked to the lobby together. Long Xinsheng stopped and said politely,""Not only have I asked you to take care of Wenwen these past few years, but I also asked you to pick me up today.”
"No, this is what I should do." He nodded and turned to leave.
Feng Nianen drove the car back to the Zhang family's mansion. He wanted to see his father, but he was told that his father had gone out with Zhang Jiru. He felt a little regretful but relieved at the same time. Although his relationship with his father was more like master and disciple than father and son, his principles in life were largely influenced by his father. There was almost no gap between the two of them in their thoughts, but now... now he didn't know how to face his father.
When he walked out of the Zhang family's mansion, it was already past six in the afternoon. The sky was dark and the sunset was almost setting. He walked slowly, not knowing where to go for a moment.
The children should be home by now, and Si Wen... He shook his head. He didn't know why he thought of her, but she shouldn't be home at the moment!
What was he going to do? As he thought about it, he came to the intersection and waited for a while before jumping onto a bus.
The bus drove slowly. Feng Nianen stared blankly at the scenery outside the window. The lights were on, and the bustling streets and the happy crowds were all so blurry to him. When he saw a pointed building, he suddenly woke up.
The bus continued to move forward, and the distance between it and the steeple building was getting further and further. Feng Nianen leaned against the window and looked at the gradually disappearing building. All the light in his eyes had disappeared, leaving only the ashen building. He slowly stood up and the car stopped. He got out of the car in a daze and walked towards the building.
The Cathedral of the Virgin Mary was one of the few remaining ancient buildings in the city. Although it was not as old as some ancient buildings that had a history of more than a few hundred years, it was built when the Roman religion first spread to this place. After being destroyed by artillery fire, it miraculously survived.
Although Feng Nianen had never been here before, he knew that this church was very influential in the country. It was said that one of the few archbishops in the country was here.
Although it was already seven o'clock, for some reason, the church was filled with people. The bright candles and the priests in white robes brought him into a strange holy world with their slow and clear singing.
He walked in and sat in the last row, quietly listening to the song that he didn't understand. He watched the solemn actions of the people who were favored by God. After an unknown period of time, the song finally stopped. Everyone stood up with a short white candle. A young man walked up to the high platform and began to recite the scriptures in a melodious voice.
Feng Nianen found it funny.
What was he doing? Who was he? Why did he come here? Why aren't you leaving? This place could not provide him with any salvation!
Although he thought so in his heart, it was as if someone had cast a spell on him and he could not move away. His heart was boiling, but his mind was blank. A strange sense of peace gradually enveloped him.
After an unknown amount of time, the ceremony finally ended. The crowd gradually dispersed, and the solemn atmosphere gradually turned into a cold and empty space. Feng Nianen still sat there in a daze.
"Is there anything else?”The young man who was reciting scriptures on the high platform just now walked towards him with solemn steps. The wide robe that reached the ground was worn on his slender and thin body, giving him a light and elegant feeling.
" I..." Feng Nianen raised his head and froze. Because of the distance, he couldn't see the young man's face clearly, but now he blinked, almost unable to believe his eyes.
That sharp chin, that light brown pupils, that slightly pale wheat-colored skin, except for his expression and gait, everything was so familiar
"Mike?" he called out in a low voice. She could not associate this solemn and gentle young man in front of her with the thin figure who was only wearing a pair of shorts and shouting hoarsely yesterday.
The man's body stiffened and his eyelids drooped. "My name is Yang Ji, sir. The Yang of Bai Yang and the Ji of the symbol were the trainee priests here.”
"Ah, is, is it?" Feng Nianen stammered," S-Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.”
"It's alright." Yang Ji nodded gently." Is there anything I can help you with?"”
"No, there's no need." He stood up." I, um, was just curious. It's nothing.”
"No, this is our duty. If there's anything, just come here. The Lord will help you.”
"Alright, I understand." He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard a slightly hoarse voice." Say hello to Zi Guang for me."”
Feng Nianen suddenly turned around and saw that the young trainee priest had already turned around and was walking in the passageway with a gentle pace. The wide sleeves of his robe were like fluttering wings under the candlelight.
"You…"
Feng Nianen, who was about to stop him, stopped and watched the thin figure walk into the small door next to him.
He walked out of the door in a daze. The lively scene on the street made him think that the scene just now was just an illusion.
One of them was a priest trainee in the church, and the other was a naked teenager who was shouting crazily in an underground bar. One was a God's Child who read the Bible in a solemn and peaceful voice, and the other was a decadent teenager who was crying and begging with a vampire in his arms. How could these two be related?
He shook his head. He must have made a mistake.
However, the young man from yesterday wore the divine robe. Yes, although Mike looked like he was only in his teens, if he wore the solemn divine robe and held the Bible...
He closed his eyes, and the young man from before appeared in his mind!
Feng Nianen absentmindedly took the bus again and went to the park near the community. Although there were no more children, he still subconsciously looked inside. Under the dim yellow street lights, he saw white smoke spiraling up.
"Si Wen?" Although he hadn't seen Si Wen's figure yet, the name had already escaped from his mouth.
"Hey, dummy!"
The casual reply with a teasing tone made him feel strangely warm.
"Why are you here?" He came to the smoke-filled slide and saw her lying on it.
"Waiting for you!"
Her tone was casual, but he was shocked.
"Idiot!" She sneered." Can you grow some brains? Don't believe everything others say, okay?"”
Feng Nianen was silent for a moment. She glanced at him. "Are you angry?"
"No, but…"
"But what?"
He thought for a moment and said,"But you have a skill."”
"Hmm?" Si Wen looked at him with interest.
" Hmm…" He licked his lips." It's just that I can't tell if what you said is true or false.”
Si Wen was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately laughed and said,"Idiot! There is no truth in what I say. Remember, don't be easily fooled in the future.”
"Ah?" He looked at her blankly.
She laughed again." I already told you that there was no truth, and you still believed me!”
" But, but…" He scratched his head." But you're being sophistry!”
"Yes, sophistry!" Si Wen jumped up with an expression that said,"What can you do to me?"
Feng Nianen blinked, shook his head, and smiled. "You…"
"Me? What about me?"
"No, have you eaten?"
Si Wen tilted his head and looked at him." You know what? Fool, you sound like an adult.”
"I am an adult."
"No, you're a fool." As she spoke, she went forward and pinched his nose." Big idiot!”
He rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly.
"Alright, since you're willing to treat us. Even if I have eaten it, I will still rip you off!”She snapped her fingers." Do you still have vegetables at home?”
"My house?" He thought for a moment and answered honestly,"There should still be some frozen meat and eggs. Hmm…there should also be two chili peppers left.”
"Then treat me to fried rice!"
"Fried rice?" Feng Nianen, who was already prepared to be slaughtered, couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
"What, you don't want to?"
"No, it's just…"
"Let's go!" She tugged at him." It's rare for me to be so kind as to help you save money. Why do you have to make me order a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?”
The two of them returned to Feng Nianen's place. Si Wen jumped into the house and immediately opened the refrigerator.
" Eggs, frozen meat, chili, ah…and two tomatoes. Dummy!" She called out to Feng Nianen, who was washing rice in the kitchen." Make some soup!"”
"Alright."
In less than half an hour, the fried rice and egg soup were served. Si Wen started to eat as if he hadn't eaten for a day. Seeing that she was almost done, Feng Nianen silently handed her bowl of untouched fried rice.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"I've eaten. It was around four in the afternoon.”
"Oh." She put the fried rice into her bowl and asked casually,""With Daddy?"
Feng Nianen's body stiffened slightly. He paused for a moment before answering,""No."
"Girlfriend?" She stopped eating and looked at him.
"No."
"Wife?"
He laughed." Not even.”
"Oh!" She lowered her head and put rice into her mouth again. She asked in a muffled voice,"Then who is it?"
" Someone…" He thought for a moment and shook his head." Someone unrelated. He was just entrusted by his elders."”
"Oh, I thought you weren't coming back today!”
"I won't." " Yes," he replied casually. He looked at her rude but not ugly eating manner and said with some doubt," I passed by a church on my way here. The trainee priest there looked like Mike, and he wanted me to say hello to you."”
"Oh."
"You're not surprised at all?"
"What's there to be surprised about?" Si Wen put down his bowl and took out a cigarette." You passed by the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, right? That guy was there, but I didn't expect him to be promoted to a priest so quickly.”
Feng Nianen looked at her in surprise.
She giggled." Why are your eyes so wide open? What's there to be surprised about? His father was an archbishop, and his uncle was the president of some religion, so what was so strange about him being an apprentice priest?”
"But, but last night…"
Si Wen shook his left index finger." The Yue Ye Clan only exists at night. No matter what they look like at night, it has nothing to do with the day. But now…" She took a deep breath and slowly blew out smoke rings.
Feng Nianen looked at her and recalled the scene last night. Although it was a little strange, he couldn't help but feel a strange warmth.
Two identities, two lives, two different worlds…He suddenly realized that the distance between him and Si Wen was not as far as he had imagined.
The next day was a Saturday. There were no classes in school. When Feng Nianen woke up, it was already past ten o'clock. Thinking that his current body condition was not suitable for him to move around in the sun, he forced himself to go back to sleep. He slept intermittently until three o'clock. He got up and casually made himself a glass of milk. Then, he took out the information that Li Zilin had organized.
Although he wanted to focus on the information, his eyes kept glancing at the clock on the wall.
When the hour hand pointed to 4:30, he couldn't help but stand up.
He changed his clothes and walked out of the room. He hesitated in front of the green iron gate next door. Now that those children were no longer afraid of him, he could go to the park by himself. Why did he have to look for Si Wen? But if he didn't go with her, would those children be afraid of him or something else happen?
He shook his head and gently knocked on the door twice. After waiting for a moment, there was no sound.
It seemed like he wasn't at home.
He let out a breath. Other than regret, he had a strange feeling.
He slowly walked to the elevator and saw a young girl coming out. He walked into the elevator without a care.
"Idiot!"
He turned around abruptly and stared blankly at her in a white dress. "Si Wen?"
"What's with that expression? Haven't you seen me in a dress?”Seeing his surprised expression, Si Wen glared at him unhappily.
"No, it isn't." The two of them had known each other since he dirtied Si Wen's dress, but later on, it could be said that he had already gotten used to her delinquent-like outfit.
"Don't tell me you're going to look for those little ghosts again?”Seeing that he didn't say anything, Si Wen pursed his lips." Aren't you afraid that you'll be treated as a lunatic again if you go alone?”
"I don't think so." He answered hesitantly," Besides, I couldn't find you.”
"You looked for me?" She tilted her head and looked at him.
He nodded." I knocked on your door, but it didn't seem like anyone was there.”
"Idiot! How can there be anyone in my house at this time?" She came to her house and took out her keys." Come over!”
Feng Nianen followed her into the house. Although Feng Nianen's room was not particularly clean, it was a sterile room compared to the house in front of her.
There were all kinds of beverage bottles, lunch boxes, plastic bags, and strange items that he couldn't tell what they were. They piled up from the entrance to the living room. At a glance, he could hardly find a place to stay.
"Come in." Si Wen stepped on the bottles and jars as if nothing had happened. Immediately, a few cockroaches jumped out of their hiding places and ran around in shock.
" I..." He gulped." I'd better not go in."”
"Hmm?" She turned back to look at him and shook her head with a smile. He stretched out his leg and kicked the trash away, clearing a small path." Come on."”
Feng Nianen followed him in with fear. Si Wen kicked open a small door at the side. "This is my room."
Unexpectedly, the room was far from what Feng Nianen had imagined. Although it was not spotless, with a few bottles on the table and a few pieces of paper on the floor, it was much cleaner than the living room.
Si Wen threw the book in his hands on the table. Feng Nianen looked up and saw that it was the " Old Horse Doctrine Philosophy " and " Public Morality " for the self-study exam.
"You took the self-study exam?" He asked in surprise.
"Yes, I am." She took out two cans of Coke from under the bed and threw one to him." There's an exam next week. Today, the teacher will draw the key points, so I'll go and listen.”
Feng Nianen looked at her with a Coke in her hand. Si Wen wasn't beautiful, and compared to Zhang Hanwen, he was even lackluster. However, if he wore a dress and a wig, he would still look delicate and cute.
"What are you looking at?" As she spoke, she took out a cigarette. Before she could light it, he snatched it away.
" Hmm…" Seeing her look at him in surprise, Feng Nianen said uneasily,""It's not good to smoke too much."
Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows and cursed, but she did not take out a second one.
"You don't have to see those little ghosts today, do you?”
"Mm, no."
"Then there's no need to change. Let's go.”She jumped off the bed as she spoke.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"Looking for Mike."
"Since Mike's father is the archbishop.”On the bus, Feng Nianen asked," Why didn't Linda agree to him being the middleman last time?”
"If you didn't meet Mike yesterday, could you imagine that he was a trainee priest?”
"You mean Linda doesn't know?”
Si Wen shrugged." In the Yue Ye Clan, although no one deliberately hid their identity during the day, no one would deliberately inquire about it. I also found out by accident.”
"Oh."
"Actually!" She shook her head." Don't look at how crazy he is at night. That guy is very loyal to God. As long as it's related to the Church, there's nothing he doesn't know.”
"Then why is he still…"
"Because he wants to sing too! He wanted to be a good priest and a singer like Jackson. Without the Yue Ye Clan, that guy was the saddest.”
"Susa's withdrawal has such a huge impact?”Can't sing without Susa?
"Without Suzuka, we can still drink and race motorcycles, but we can't be called Yueye Clan anymore.”
She answered straightforwardly. There was a sense of sadness in the noisy bus.
"Why?" he asked.
" Because…" She looked at the seats in the front row." We were all called here by Susa."”
"Hmm? Did Zuo Xu find you?" He couldn't help but look at Si Wen's neck. A vampire gathering so many young men around him couldn't be just to kill time.
" I can't say that we're looking for him, but…" She tilted her head and thought for a moment." It's because he makes us feel like we're the same kind."”
"The feeling of being of the same kind?" He gulped.
She nodded affirmatively, then revealed a puzzled expression. "No matter how you look at it, Susa and we shouldn't belong to the same country. He always makes people feel like he understands us very well.”
You brought me here, you brought us here. It was you who gave me that microphone. It was you who told me to sing, Mike. Sing as you please. No one will disturb you. You were the one who told me this, and now you're saying that I don't need it? You actually said that I don't need it!
Feng Nianen thought of Mike's hoarse cry again.
A vampire not only understands humans, but also understands a trainee priest from a religious family?
He shook his head, feeling that everything was so ridiculous.#
