I'm the former civilized Yingjie

Ryan's emotional intelligence is not low. Knowing that these two people had something to say, he nodded and left directly.

The man's back quickly disappeared into the crowd. At this time, Hua finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the tension on his face disappeared.

"Haha, you have good taste. This senior brother is quite handsome. When I heard your description, I thought he was a muscular monster."

"Don't talk nonsense. Don't talk nonsense about the things I usually tell you." Hua glared at the girl, almost revealing her secret.

She looked at the direction Ryan left and murmured to herself: "This is the person I can never defeat, and the person I respect the most. Every time I see him, I tighten my muscles."

"Want to punch him in the face?"

"How is it possible? I'm just a little nervous. I'm afraid of making him unhappy, and I don't know what to say. I practice hard every day and want to get closer to him. But every time I meet, I find that the gap is getting wider and wider."

Looking at his friend's appearance, Carol really wanted to take a picture of her with his mobile phone. No matter how hard he taught this elm-headed person, it was useless.

"Maybe you should be more confident and take the initiative."

"Nonsense, I don't have any extra thoughts, he is my senior brother."

"I don't believe any senior brother would pay living expenses on time every month."

"That's the brother, even if there is no blood relationship."

"This is better. Have you read the brother control novel I gave you? It's so exciting."

"Bah, look for a beating!"

The two girls were laughing and joking, and soon walked out of the terminal. A black business car stopped there right away, and Ryan was lowering his head to fiddle with the navigation and entering Huagui's address.

In this era of science and technology, martial arts schools and the like have long been desolate, so Hua's family background is very average, so Ryan provided long-term financial support in the name of apprenticeship fees, allowing her to rent a small courtyard outside the school.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter if you can't learn it, but you can't fall behind in boxing skills.

While zooming out on the map, Ryan saw that a place not far from Hua's residence was marked in red, and traffic control was written on the map. He continued to zoom out, only to find that the restricted area covered a large area of ​​​​the harbor.

Listening to the door closing, Ryan turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

"I heard that there was a leak of hazardous chemicals or something, and even the residents inside were moved out by the government."

It sounds like the routine of Fire Chaser, but this area is too big.

Ryan stepped on the accelerator lightly, and while driving, he looked in the rearview mirror. The girl was actually sitting in danger, which made him a little funny.

"How long has it been?"

"One month and five days, senior brother, do you think there's anything wrong with it?"

"No problem, I just suddenly felt that you are very suitable for being a soldier. You are very strict." Ryan joked and looked at the distance on the navigation. "And the house you rent is too far away. Aren't you usually late for school?"

This guy has already rented in a suburb outside the Fifth Ring Road. Logically speaking, he should have enough money.

"The rent in Canghai City is too expensive. I don't want to waste the money you gave me." Hua took a breath and simply recited the schedule: "I go to bed at nine o'clock every night, get up at four o'clock in the morning, and then finish my boxing practice." I run ten kilometers, and the subway happens to be in operation, so I am the first to arrive at school every morning.”

Ryan and Carol covered their heads almost at the same time, looking at Hua inexplicably.

"What happen to you guys??"

"Nothing, I just suddenly discovered a problem." Ryan shook his head and looked blankly at the car lights ahead.

Why is there no normal person around me?

Chapter 42 Senior brother, can I sneak attack you?

After sending Carol back to school first, it was about ten o'clock in the evening that Ryan drove to the small courtyard where Hua rented. As soon as he got out of the car, he was a little dumbfounded.

In front of him is a two-story building with a courtyard. The surface of the house is covered with ceramic tiles, the courtyard door is mottled, and half of the red paper with a couplet still remains.

This is a self-built house in rural areas that can be seen everywhere in China. It is surrounded by farmland and vegetable fields. Across the road, there is a factory with a blue roof. Inside the locked door, local dogs bark.

The other houses are tens of meters away, and there are not a few bright lights in sight. The only sounds are dogs barking and cicadas chirping in summer.

Not only is it clean, it is almost inaccessible.

"Are you really not afraid of a girl living here?"

"Don't be afraid. It's not as noisy as in the city. Don't you often go to the countryside in your hometown anyway?" Hua opened the door and pointed to the darkly lit houses around him. "Before last month, there were actually many people living there. Later, the government didn't Do you encourage relocation? They all moved away, which saved me more than 200 yuan in rent."

Seeing that Hua looked like he had taken advantage of her, Ryan rubbed his forehead. This junior sister of his was stubborn and stupid. If he were a smarter one, he would probably be able to get a housekeeping fee.

This damn place is not inhabited by people. As long as the locals leave, whoever is full enough will come here to rent a house.

He carried the box up the steps and said casually: "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

"There are no ghosts in the world, but there are thieves, but I beat them all away." Hua raised his fist and finally showed a hint of pride, "Come on, senior brother, take a look at where I live."

Inside the door is a small courtyard, about one or two hundred square meters. Hua has kept it very clean. The owner's debris has been piled in the corner and covered with a three-color tarpaulin. The most common thing in the courtyard is various fitness equipment.

There are homemade horizontal bars, human-shaped wooden stakes, stacked sandbags, and some hanging clothes.

"That's right, I really didn't give up on boxing practice." Ryan nodded repeatedly with his hands behind his back. He used to teach on behalf of a teacher and was considered half a master.

"I will keep your words in mind. I am also very good at studying. I ranked first in the school in the final exam." The girl suddenly became more lively, as if she had finally reached the area where she was good at.

Seeing her "please praise me" expression almost written on her face, Ryan took out a box from his bag and threw it directly: "It seems that I have to give this gift. Open it and take a look."

Hua quickly opened it and saw a pair of tiger fingers inside. He didn't know what kind of metal it was made of, but it looked very precious.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then she held it tightly in her palms and nodded solemnly: "I will continue to work hard."

"You have worked hard enough. Sometimes I hope you can relax and do things more like your age." Ryan showed a touch of tenderness. Hua, unlike Kevin, treated her as his sister from the beginning. Look, there’s not too much thought involved.

"Ahem, for example, wear some nicer clothes."

Hua turned his head blankly and saw several short skirts and fat clothes with cartoon patterns hanging on the clothes drying pole in the corner. His face immediately turned red and he quickly rushed over to take them into his arms. .

"No, this was left behind when Carol came to play a few days ago!"

The girl suddenly panicked, and could no longer see the old-fashioned and serious look she had just now, and Ryan did not joke around like he did with Mebius, so he looked away slightly.

"I'm actually encouraging you not to think of me as an antique."

"Then... let me try?"

"Ahem, it's good to try more. By the way, where do I live?" Ryan felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, so he simply changed the subject.

"On the first floor, the room has been prepared for you. I've also checked the network. It won't delay anything."

Hua took Ryan and walked inside. The self-built house was very shabby, with not even a few pieces of furniture, but it was very clean and everything was neatly placed as if it was obsessive-compulsive disorder.

There was even a table of food on the table in the main room, all of which were Jiangnan home-cooked dishes, all untouched.

"I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough time, so I made dinner in advance. If you don't want to take a shower, I'll heat up the food quickly."

"It's okay, I just need to sit down for a while. Are you worried that I'm being polite?"

"That's true, then you should rest first."

Hua dragged over a reclining chair, quickly took the plate and went to the kitchen. Ryan had lived in her martial arts gym for half a year, and he was still alive.

Ryan was sitting on the recliner. The chair was a bit broken, and the joints were fixed with wires. But the girl carefully wrapped the wire ends. Looking up, there was a mottled and yellowed ceiling.

For a moment, he didn't think about anything. He only listened to the sound of spatulas in the kitchen, and his never-ending brain was completely empty.

There is no smell of blood, there are no profound studies, and there is no need to compete with others. After returning to Canghai and meeting Hua, Ryan's biggest feeling is that he is ordinary.

That's right, it's as if I've turned back into an ordinary person. Time quietly leaves among trivial chores and dissipates into dust and smoke.

However, he didn't hate this feeling.

'I've been thinking about how to deal with the Third Herrscher, so it's time to take a break. '

Even though Canghai City is likely to be wiped out, what does that have to do with the present? The concept of destiny is actually very simple.

Look at the stars and base yourself on the present. The future will be built step by step. Just enjoy the moment.

Looking at the yellowed ceiling, Ryan gradually closed his eyes, and soon he heard snoring.

"The meal is ready..." Hua walked out with a plate. Seeing Ryan sleeping, he instinctively stepped lightly.

Sure enough, I was tired.

She put the plate down, leaned over slightly, and looked at the man carefully. Her green eyes were moving, and she didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she simply dragged a stool over and looked at the man quietly with her head propped up.

'Senior brother is a person with a big secret. He often disappeared in the past. He said he was going to study in Neon, but I didn't believe it. '

This idea came to Hua's mind. It was an intuitive feedback. He still remembered that one time the other party returned to the martial arts gym. Although he concealed it well, he accidentally saw a gunshot wound.

But if Ryan didn't tell her, she wouldn't ask, and she didn't care about those secrets at all.

"I must have something serious to do when I come back to Canghai in a hurry this time." She murmured to herself, wanting to touch these secrets, but in the end she swallowed them and just held her hands in front of her chest, with only two thoughts in her heart. An idea.

The first thought that jumped out was the book Carroll gave me.

This is a good time for a sneak attack!

No, what am I thinking about?

She quickly shook her head, returned to normal, and said to herself:

"It would be great if I could help."

"Ok?"

Even though his voice was very low, Ryan, who was very vigilant, woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the delicate face close at hand, with himself reflected in the clear emerald eyes.

He didn't dodge or attack him, he just wiped his face and said, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Not long, almost 10 minutes."

"I slept so deeply, it felt like I slept for a long time." Ryan stretched out. It was indeed strange that just a few minutes made him energetic. "Why are you staring at me? Hurry up and eat."

"Okay, I'm going to serve the rice." The girl stood up gently, walked to the kitchen door, then turned around and said calmly: "Brother, I think sometimes you are more nervous than me."

Ryan was lost in thought for a moment, then shook his head and laughed at himself, this girl's intuition is really powerful.

Soon, the dishes were brought to the table, including green stir-fry, white-chopped chicken, and sweet and sour pork loin. The flavors were light and it looked like a lot of effort had been put into each one.

As a martial arts family, Hua's family rules are very strict, and they insist on eating without talking or sleeping. With the slight chirping of cicadas, the only sound in the room was the sound of chopsticks touching bowls. Ryan finally broke the silence by adding a second bowl of rice.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask. I think you're feeling quite uncomfortable holding it in."

"No way." The girl raised her head slightly, rolled her eyes at the man, thought for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "I just want to ask, how long are you planning to stay this time?"

"It's very long, or it's very short. The difference lies in when the person I'm waiting for shows up." Ryan took a sip of the vegetable soup and gave Hua a piece of tenderloin. "Eat more meat. You look weirdly thin."

Waiting for someone?What do you call very long or very short, and I'm not skinny at all.

Hua was used to Ryan's mystery and secretly prayed that he would stay longer. At this time, he listened to the other party's questions.

"Hua, when do you have summer vacation?"

"The final exam is over. Let's wait for the end-of-school ceremony. Of course, I'm not in a hurry to go back. I can work in Canghai City and accompany you and others."

The last few words were almost inaudible, and Ryan really didn't hear them. He only said while eating the food: "Don't wait for the end of the school ceremony, pack your things, and go back to your hometown on the weekend. If possible, I will send you Bring your friends with you too."

bang.

The rice bowl fell on the table. Ryan looked up and saw Hua Zheng staring at him, his displeasure almost written on his face. Under the sullen expression, his expression became much more vivid.

"Brother, do you want to do something big?"

"Well, you can't handle this. Be obedient. I don't mean to drive you away, but for your safety..."

"I am no longer a child. I cannot be protected by you and my father forever."

Hua's voice suddenly rose in pitch, making Ryan blink. This was the first time he saw Hua like this.

But Ryan is not stupid, and he understands why she is excited, but there is no way to explain the Herrscher, Honkai, etc., which gives her a headache.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the girl put down the bowl, strode into the yard, and punched the sandbag.

boom--

The sack exploded, gravel fell, and the girl turned around, looking very heroic.

"I've been practicing boxing hard all these years, isn't it just to be able to help you one day?"

Ryan held the bowl and sighed slowly, not knowing what to say.

Child temper?

Hua is now a child of seventeen or eighteen years old, far from the Red Kite Immortal in later generations. Moreover, he has a stubborn personality and received the most traditional education, so he is not just a child.

"I was wrong. After all, you are one of the Thirteen Heroes. How can you do it without a temper?"

He whispered to himself, stood up slowly, walked past Hua silently, clenched his fists and hit the sandbag next to him.
