The crisp sound of the bottom of the cup hitting the bar shocked Leo's spirits.
"Go, Leo...it's getting late."
...
The boy with the Righteous Eye of God nodded.
"Um."
The door opened and closed, and Leo's figure left here.
The bartender picked up the three hundred-dollar bills that the man had just thrown on the ground and returned them to Cheng Rang.
Smiling, he folded the banknotes and stuffed them into his jacket pocket. Cheng Rang patted the place where the banknotes were placed and said, "I have no intention of earning my sister's living expenses. Forget it, the money for those few drinks just now will be on my account." Bar."
"One more drink." Cheng Rang tapped his finger on the bar and said to the wine glass in front of him.
Chapter 140 Home
Cheng Rang didn't know what Leo did to the two gangsters in the end, and he didn't want to know.
Because when he watched Leo return to the bar, grinning and shaking the wallet he had regained in his hand, Cheng Rang knew that he had probably walked out of the dead end in his heart.
"solved?"
"Um!"
Leo came to the high chair next to Cheng Rang and sat down.
Then he pushed a cup of Resonance Blue over, with three 100-zero bills underneath.
When Leo looked at him with some confusion, Cheng Rang said, "It's my fault. Those two just paid with your sister's money. I don't want to earn this money."
"......Thanks."
"You're welcome, put it away, and don't let anyone snatch it away next time." Cheng Rang raised the wine in his hand to Leo, "Cheers~"
"cheers."
The wine glasses in their hands touched together lightly, making a crisp sound. Then they each raised their heads, brought the wine glasses to their mouths and drank in one gulp.
"Ha~"
Leo put down the wine glass, spit out a cloud of white mist from his mouth, and sighed with satisfaction: "It still has that intoxicating unique taste."
Then he fell down on the bar and started moaning.
"Besides, the side effects are still so uncomfortable..."
Cheng Rang's eyes were also slightly confused. He closed his eyes gently. The picture in front of him was a simple security door.
The door was pushed open by himself.
Although it is not a big home, it is full of warm memories.
The sound of commercials on the TV is intertwined with the hum of the range hood. The oil and ingredients are tumbling in the pot, and the alluring aroma is coming.
Warm yellow light was projected on the living room. The busy figure in the kitchen noticed that she had entered the door. She quickly wiped her hands on her apron twice. She walked towards her with a smile: "My son is back. Today, mommy will cook your favorite food." Fish-flavored shredded pork!”
He nodded and responded softly: "Yes."
Then everything in front of him disappeared. When Cheng Rang opened his eyes again, he still saw the black marble bar counter of the Westin Bar and the empty wine glass in front of him.
He knew that he might never go back.
The uncontrollable sadness came back to her heart - her face had begun to become blurry in her memory.
"thunder
Ou..." Cheng Rang did not ask for another drink as usual. He blinked his sore eyes hard a few times and said to himself: "It is really a blessing to have a family. "
"And being able to protect the people you care about is a great blessing. To be honest, I envy you..."
"Hmm...Senior Cheng, what did you just say?" Leo had just gotten over the side effects of Resonance Blue and raised his head to look at himself.
"Nothing." Cheng Rang shook his head, pushed the empty wine glass in front of him aside, and smiled at Leo.
"We go home?"
Somewhat surprised that Cheng Rang in front of him was no longer greedy for drinks, Leo just wanted to complain about his senior who was obviously not right today.
But the smile on his face seemed to show a lot more fatigue than before. Leo, who noticed this, said nothing in the end and just nodded.
"good...."
Back at the house they shared, although it was still early, Cheng Rang came into the house early and said he was going to rest. This made Leo, who had grabbed the controller to play a game, put it back down with some embarrassment.
"It's better to play with your phone..." Leo, who lay back on the bed in his room, held his phone and browsed various videos on the Internet.
Just like that, there was no talking all night until early morning.
————————————
"Morning everyone!"
The door of Lebra Association's headquarters was pushed open, and Cheng Rang's energetic voice came again, without any sign of the decadence from last night.
"Good morning, Cheng." The first one to greet Cheng Rang who walked in was Klaus, who had arrived early.
Leo followed closely and walked in, but he was not very energetic because he was a little obsessed with watching videos last night and unknowingly arrived very late, which resulted in lack of sleep and the use of magic. Due to the load brought by his prosthetic eyes, his complexion is obviously the worst among them.
"Hey Fantou, I heard that you held a party at home last night. Did you have a good time?" Cheng Rang said to Stephen who was flipping through documents with his legs crossed. "It's better to say that Fantou was able to invite a group of friends to his home. , it’s really strange..."
"It's okay." Stephen raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes still staying on the document in his hand, and replied casually in a perfunctory tone.
"Good morning, teacher." Jeter greeted Cheng Rang from the side.
"Good morning, Jett, you still love reading so much." Cheng Rang admired Jett who often read books whenever he had free time here in Lebra.
"In your free time, books can enrich your own knowledge and experience. For those who only use low-level entertainment to kill time, or even indulge in it, they may not be able to understand this kind of happiness."
Leticia was wearing the cute black and white sailor uniform that Cheng Rang had "tailor-made" for her last time. She was also holding a book and spoke with a bit of irony in her tone.
"I'm a little curious now about how many books you have read." Cheng Rang sat on the sofa and poured himself a glass of water, "It should be quite a few, right?"
"A lot?" Leticia closed the thick book in her hand with a snap, "It's more than a lot, you probably can't imagine it."
"And you still don't understand what Elaine is saying?"
"I..." Leticia suppressed her blush and wanted to defend herself, but in the end she didn't speak. She just turned her head and changed a book on the bookshelf, opened it and started reading.
Thinking about Leticia's words just now, Leo, who felt as if he had been shot inexplicably, asked Stephen who was standing aside curiously: "Mr. Stephen, why are there so many books here?"
Stephen looked up in response, thought for a while and then replied: "Most of them seem to have been brought by Klaus from home, and some of them are from Gilbert's collection."
"Mr. Gilbert's collection?" Leo looked around and found that the old butler didn't seem to be here, so he asked Stephen: "Then what books does he usually collect?"
"An adventure story, maybe."
"Novel?" Cheng Rang leaned forward slightly, obviously interested in the answer.
Stephen nodded: "Absolutely."
"Oh, that's it~" Cheng Rang looked at the two people holding the novel and looking at it in fascination.
Is this high-end entertainment? Love it, love it!
Feeling a warm gaze directed at her, Leticia raised her head and looked at Cheng Rang: "Why are you staring at me?"
"It's nothing, you look cute." Cheng Rang smiled and shrugged.
When Leticia heard this sentence, she subconsciously wanted to cover her exposed arms, but then she realized that the scars on her body were now covered up by the clothes on her body, and the person who did all this It was the person staring at her not far away, which caused a subtle blush to appear on her little face.
"Just, even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy..." Leticia said harshly.
But she was actually happy in her heart. After all, on the other side, the word "cute" was rarely heard from other people's words when they evaluated themselves.
"If you're not happy, I'll praise you a few more times. You're so cute. Leticia is so cute!"
"Don't go too far. Why are you singing all to yourself?"
Cheng Rang even used bel canto singing, Zhang Yuan
She closed her mouth as if she didn't hear Leticia's complaints, and continued singing in a trembling voice: "But~~love~~~"
"Shut up!" A hard-cover book that was ten centimeters thick crossed a few meters away in the hall, whirled and hit Cheng Rang in the face who was singing awkwardly, making a muffled sound and hitting him. Cut off his death chant.
"Oh my god, why are you wearing a hidden weapon? Aren't you a mage!"
The light of the golden spell lit up in response, coating everyone in Lebra with a wry smile with a golden halo. The blushing white-haired Loli was panting and raised her right hand high to herself.
"I'm just joking! Stop it, do you want to blow this up?!"
Chapter 141: Unexpected disaster
"Tianjing Coffee 2 zels, Insomnia Noodles 1.8kg 6 packs 3 zels, Eyeball Onions 1 zel, Ghost Horn Radish 1 zel, Concentrated Liver 18 zels..."
In the back alley outside the warehouse, Gilbert and Leo were counting the list of recently purchased materials.
Bottles, cans and cartons of all sizes were stacked together. After confirming with the stevedores in front of him that everything was OK, Gilbert signed his name on the receipt board and handed it back to the long-awaited worker: "Okay, that's right, thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for your patronage!" The worker turned around and held up the brim of his hat, got in the car and left.
Leo picked up one of the cardboard boxes and asked Gilbert in front of him: "Mr. Gilbert, can this be put here together?"
"Ah, just let me come..."
The sound of tearing air roared in the alley, and the strong wind rushed from Leo's back. Before Gilbert could finish his words, he flew into the air - he was hit by a truck that looked like it was flying in the air. The giant blue eel monster flew away.
"It's..."
The last syllable was physically squeezed out of Gilbert's body by Feiyu's huge body.
The heartbreaking sound of bones breaking and the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground made Leo unable to react for a moment. He was so startled that it took him more than ten seconds to recover from the shock.
After hitting Gilbert, the flying fish suddenly flew into the air without losing any momentum and disappeared into the thick fog.
After that, Leo quickly ran to Gilbert who had fallen at the end of the back alley, leaned down and shouted to him: "Mr. Gilbert, are you okay?!"
"Oh hehe~ It's okay, it's okay!" Gilbert, who was lying on the ground, replied with a smile.
Leo looked at Gilbert, whose entire lower body and upper body had been folded back to a 30-degree angle, lying on the ground like a broken puppet, and complained loudly: "This kind of thing is about to break in half. How can it be possible that everything looks fine, Mr. Gilbert! It depends on the situation to comfort someone!"
Leo quickly took out his cell phone and called Klaus.
"Hello, Mr. Claus?"
...
Twenty minutes after putting down the phone, Cheng Rang came to the alley with his pockets in his pocket.
Looking at "Gilbert" piled on the ground like a pile of broken blocks in front of him, Cheng Rang twitched the corner of his mouth, squatted down and said to the old butler who was still smiling peacefully in front of him: "Let me tell you, what on earth is this?" Can it hit you like this...an airbus?"
Assisting Leo to move the goods into the warehouse, Cheng Rang closed the warehouse door in front of him, fumbled a few times on the brick wall beside him, and pressed one of the bricks.
With the sound of stone rubbing, a high-tech control panel appeared on the separated brick wall.
"What do Elaine want?" Cheng Rang turned to ask Leo, who was sweating profusely at the side. He was carrying a limp Gilbert with trembling legs.
"Four...boxes No. 41 to No. 50 are all..." Leo replied tremblingly.
Good weight!
Gilbert, who was being carried by Leo, smiled apologetically at him: "Sorry to trouble you."
"It doesn't matter..."
Cheng Rang clicked a few times on the control panel, and then there was a rumble in the warehouse, and the words "Successful delivery" appeared on the screen. Cheng Rang took the panel back, and after it turned into a brick wall again, he He took out his cell phone and pressed it a few times and put it to his ear.
"Hey, Elaine, the things have been delivered. Don't forget to close the door after checking that they are correct, otherwise you will suffer disaster next time. Although the item transfer technique is convenient, there are many things that need to be paid attention to."
"I know, I know!" Elaine's voice was a little impatient, as if she was unhappy about being interrupted when she was concentrating on doing something.
The sound of high heels echoed in the empty corridors of the institute. Elaine came to the door of a room. After she turned the red handle on the wall, there was a sound of gas leakage, and the door opened.
Several tightly packed cardboard boxes appeared in the room that was empty just now, with numbers from 41 to 50 printed on them in black font.
"It's up to you~" Elaine laughed after seeing the box in front of her, and her mood seemed to suddenly improve again.
...
Lebra Lodge.
The black-gold carved door was pushed open by the retreating Cheng Rang with his back, and he and Leo carried the already broken Gilbert, and the three of them finally returned here.
