The Last Mecha

Chapter 183 Parting (Part [-])

Outside the window, the slanting wind mixed with raindrops fell all over the ground, reflecting the orange light under the wispy candlelight. In the mottled ground, two faint shadows were erratic.

What are you working so hard for?

Facing Nan Zhiyun's question, Wu Gou was suddenly at a loss.

To save the sky?First, he didn't think he really had that much ability, and second, he didn't have a particularly high interest.

Even the world before the end of the era is not so beautiful.

Speaking of living a new life, he doesn't have much desire for material things, and he doesn't even bother to get involved in power.

100 years, enough for a person to get bored enough to feel that it doesn't matter whether it continues or not.

He has long been fearless of death. Since returning to this era until now, the only ones who can support him and push him forward are the old people left in his memory.

People.

Thinking of this, he was suddenly afraid to look at the girl's face.

There was no one around her.

"You haven't answered my question yet, you said I went, what should I do?"

Nan Zhiyun raised his face. When the two met a month ago, they were still about the same height. Now the boy in front of him is obviously taller than her.

"There are a lot of things." Wu Gou tried his best to control his tone, and said cheerfully, "You can read, draw, and write, do you know that there are many interesting people and professors in Xia Guo's university hall, Newcomers who are too arrogant at the orientation meeting will be thrown into the river. There are too many things to do in this world, and you will meet many friends”

Under the firelight, the girl in front of her nodded, her face as calm as a piece of paper.

".And" his throat twitched, his heart softened, and he said out loud, "Let's be friends for the time being. When you settle down, I can choose a festival like a paper lantern festival when you are free. Come to visit you, if anyone bullies you, you can write to me, and I will find someone to teach them a lesson."

As soon as these words fell, the eyes of the girl in front of her lit up immediately, and the joy visible to the naked eye jumped in those amber eyes.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door at the other end, and she immediately turned around to open the door, with the intention of jumping between her feet.

"In the darkest night, can a little spark make people so happy?" Wu Gou looked at the back and thought in his heart, "I can't help it, and I don't know if I did something wrong."

The flickering candle in his hand suddenly flew up and down, and the flames in the air formed a fleeting face and a sentence that echoed in the air.

"Anyway, I can't help it if it's me."

"You are talking nonsense."

He cursed in a low voice, then walked forward quickly, holding the blood-swallowing Qiongqi under his clothes with one hand, and pushed the door open before Nan Zhiyun.

As soon as the door opened, the full load of wind and rain poured in mercilessly. Standing under the eaves was a middle-aged man wearing a suit, an umbrella, and a pair of exquisite round-headed glasses hanging around his neck.

He looked at the girl and showed a gentle smile: "I think you must be Miss Xia—and this is Mr. Wu."

"Hello." Wu Gou looked at him expressionlessly, and gave the private code that he had agreed with Cao Yong, "Have you had dinner, sir? Come in and sit down?"

"Too polite, I've eaten."

"What to eat?"

"Roasted duck from Quanju, served with cider."

"How full are you?"

"Six and a half."

It wasn't until then that Wu Gou clenched his red palms so tightly that he slowly relaxed a little. He didn't want any surprises at the critical moment.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu. My name is Li Jing. I am comrade-in-arms with Lao Cao. His affairs are my affairs. I will handle this matter myself. It happens that I have a business in Hangzhou. The city inspector invited me by name." Bring the family to dinner, prepare everything for the telegram, and wrong Miss Xia for pretending to be my child along the way, I can't think of any problems."

He smiled with a wrinkled face, feeling very kind, completely different from Cao Yong's cold and hard-headed person.

"That's good, it's time to work."

Wu Gou responded, and turned his gaze out of the window. The night rain fell on the new-style Frank car, and the water droplets dancing on the black iron sheet reflected the cold light.

"One more question, what is Mr. Li's business?"

"Mr. Wu and Lao Cao are trustworthy friends, so I will not hide it, machinery, including structural design and processing technology."

"That's it." Wu Gou nodded, then looked at Nan Zhiyun, "Let's go early."

"Ah."

The girl didn't object.

Li Jing handed over a plastic bag stuffed with several sheets of paper, "Here is my personal information, as well as my wife's and daughter's. Ms. Xia had better spend some time on the way to get familiar with it, in case of emergencies. In addition, Please don’t reveal its contents afterward.”

"Thank you so much."

Nan Zhiyun took it, and bowed straight at ninety degrees, and then a few strands of black hair like a waterfall fell out from the back of the wig.

Behind him, Wu Gou subconsciously wanted to step forward to help people tidy up, but stopped suddenly. He pinched his jaw and gave Li Jing a look.

"Miss Xia, no, Li Yiman, this is your current name, please pay attention to tidy up the decoration on the back of your neck."

After Li Jing understood it, he reminded him gently.

Only then did she clean herself in a hurry, then pinched the plastic bag, turned her head and took one last look at Wu Gou, the corners of her mouth flicked lightly.

The smile was as pale as smoke by the candlelight.

Nan Zhiyun immediately turned around, and Li Jing raised his umbrella to lightly cover her head, and the two turned around to leave.

"and many more."

But Wu Gou stopped her again from behind.

He walked quickly to the back room, put a new knife wrapped in kraft paper into the girl's hand, and whispered in his ear: "The shape of your previous knife was too conspicuous, this is for you, just in case, for self-defense. If it’s inconvenient then, just leave it to Mr. Li.”

"Ah."

She stretched out her hand to take it, the lights of the whole room flickered in her magnificent eyes, and five slender fingers tightly grasped the sharp-edged cowhide bag, with a faint blood color.

A trace of hesitation flashed across that small face, she pursed her lips, then stretched out her hand, and gave Wu Gou a polite hug with the least physical contact.

A faint fragrance was fleeting, she didn't stay any longer, waved her hand, and left with the man.

He was the only one left in the cold tea shop.

The sound of rain outside the window was continuous, and the dancing raindrops fell from the window sill, scattering the candlelight everywhere.

Wu Gou was expressionless. He breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his shoulders, and went back to the back room to pack up the clothes left by the girl, but suddenly he felt a hard object inside.

That white clay cat.

He picked up the thing and rushed to the door, only to see that in the dark sky, the white mist mixed with water vapor and steam was dispersed by the rain, and the car drove into the gloomy night of Jiangsong with its taillights on.
