I'm the former civilized Yingjie

Chapter 48 To be an immortal, you must have backbone!

What the hell are those people in Fire Chaser doing?

Ryan was sitting on a lounge chair in the small courtyard, and he didn't know how many times he had asked this question.

At first, he thought he was being used. Although he was inevitably a little unhappy, at least he defeated the Moshazhi and connected with the Fire Chasing Moth.

But something strange happened later. It took two full days after defeating the Honkaiju. Except for Hen's phone call, everything seemed like nothing happened.

Moshazhi did not come to take revenge and remained at the bottom of the continental shelf, and Fire Chaser Moth did not take any further action, as if this battle did not exist at all.

The vigilance was not raised, and I was not asked to cooperate. It was just left aside and ignored. What a big deal.

Ryan gradually realized that there was a problem, but it was impossible for him to come to the door and question him. He was far from doing whatever he wanted.

"Brother, let's go."

Ryan was swinging on the recliner when he suddenly heard Hua's voice, turned his head subconsciously, and his eyes lit up.

The girl tied her long gray-blue hair into a ponytail and wore a striped shirt. The collar was unbuttoned to reveal her delicate collarbones, but what surprised Ryan the most was her lower body.

Hua wore a denim skirt with the hem above her knees, revealing a section of her white calves. Coupled with white sneakers, she gave off a youthful atmosphere.

The girl is tall and slender, and the heroic spirit brought by long-term martial arts practice also covers up the shortcomings of the tablet. Although it has nothing to do with beauty or charm, she is extremely beautiful.

Ryan's appreciative gaze made Hua smile lightly, showing a few white teeth, but the smile soon froze again.

"Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

He can't blame Ryan for having a bad mouth. He has known Hua for five years. Thanks to Hua Xia's sportswear school uniform, he has never seen this girl wearing a skirt. She always wears sweatpants and at most a pair of jeans.

But as soon as the words came out, he knew he was wrong, so he sneered: "Don't worry, I'm just surprised, how come you suddenly know how to dress up?"

In fact, the girl didn't wear any makeup at all, and her denim skirt was extremely tacky, but for Hua, this was an unprecedented step.

"You just came in that day, why didn't you praise me for wearing nicer clothes." Hua muttered, remembering what Ryan saw hanging on the clothes hanger when he first arrived.

"What are you muttering about?"

"No, it's just that the last time I went shopping with Carol, she insisted on buying it as a gift for me. After what happened in the past two days, I suddenly realized that if I don't wear it now, I will have no chance in the future."

"That's true, daily life will become a rare thing in the future." Ryan nodded, accepting this statement.

On the surface today, he was accompanying Hua to buy some specialties to take home. In fact, he was trying to change the girl's mood. After all, what happened in the previous two days was too exciting for ordinary people, and Hua was not as rough-looking as Kevin.

Of course, he could also take this opportunity to relax and think about dealing with Honkai every day. That would be too hard.

"By the way, won't Carol come with you?"

"If you don't go, you still scolded me on the phone. It's really inexplicable."

"Why is she scolding you?"

"Well, don't ask too much about the topic between girls. Let's leave quickly." Hua's face heated up when he thought about it, and he hurriedly walked ahead.

Ryan scratched his face, glanced at the slender back and the swaying snow-white calves, and followed him.

Because the rental house was too remote, Ryan drove for half an hour to get into the city, and then he was blocked on the viaduct, unable to move. Canghai is indeed the largest city in China, and even on weekdays it is busy with traffic.

Hua originally thought that Ryan would be impatient, but later he discovered that this man was actually admiring the traffic jam. According to him, this kind of prosperity was too much to miss.

We set off at ten in the morning and were stuck in traffic until noon before arriving at Huaizhong Road. As one of the most prosperous business districts in Canghai, it is filled with various shopping malls and high-end hotels.

"So this is Huaizhong Road." Hua stood on the roadside, looking at the towering buildings and the fashionable men and women hurriedly passing by, looking out of place.

"No way, you haven't been to Huaizhong Road in the two years since you arrived in Canghai?" Ryan locked the car and put on a black windbreaker. He was used to the bustling scene.

Over the years, he has worked as a boss in the mountains and forests, and has also stayed in the most expensive hotel in Manhattan.

"No, the things here are too expensive. Why come here?" Hua turned his head and said helplessly: "I just bought a few hams for my father. Do I need to come to Huaizhong Road?"

"You buy yours and I'll buy mine. Don't forget, your father is also my master. Let's go and have lunch first." Ryan took the girl and left. Since he had decided to spend some time with her, of course he had to I regret it.

The man is handsome and the girl is beautiful. They are walking through the bustling shopping mall. Although they are dressed plainly, there is no bloody drama.

There is no bloody plot, but there is also no scene in TV dramas where women have unlimited physical strength and men complain endlessly.

From the first floor to the fifth floor, and then from the fifth floor back to the first floor, a full hour later, Ryan sat in a roadside noodle shop, watching helplessly as Hua picked up an extra-large bowl of beef noodles and slurped it.

"You, you, you think this one is too expensive and that one is unnecessary. After doing it for a long time, the noodles are still sloppy." Ryan felt resentful when he thought about it. Kevin was the same way, and he had a soft spot for sloppy noodles.

Hua raised his head slightly, picked up a piece of beef and put it into Ryan's bowl: "I'm not interested in Western food, and your money doesn't fall from the sky. Every penny is precious."

"Do you know where I get my money?"

"You guessed it. After all, senior brother, you have never mentioned your family members."

Ryan's expression was stagnant. Unexpectedly, Hua Dui Gui Dui had a bright heart. Yes, even though he looked like a second-generation rich man, in fact, every penny he spent was used to make Fire Chaser Black Gloves a few years ago. Earned.

As for the family...

"Senior brother, I know you are very kind to me. Because of this, I have to find ways to repay you." Hua interrupted Ryan's thoughts, held his head and said: "And I know why you took time out today, of course you have to have lunch. I’m here to treat you, so I can only treat you to some noodles.”

The girl still looked serious, but it made Ryan a little embarrassed. She was considerate, but sometimes she was so dull that it gave people a headache.

"When did you learn these crooked principles?" Ryan poked the girl's forehead, picked up the chopsticks, put the beef back first, then took a ball of noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hey, it’s much more delicious than chatting with Kevin!

Ryan immediately felt that the saying 'beautiful and delicious' was right, and he felt that he had done it willingly over the years.

This has nothing to do with investing in the Thirteen Heroes or anything like it, nor is it about forming a good relationship, it's just because Hua deserves it.

"Since you can't get used to staying on Huaizhong Road, where are you going this afternoon?"

"Senior brother, you should have asked me earlier."

"Hey, I originally wanted to lead you to corruption. Since I don't want to, I will just do whatever you want to see if you can live a good life in Canghai."

"Then I'll make the arrangements. Let's leave now." Hua became interested and took the initiative to grab Ryan's arm and leave.

The two of them didn't drive, so Ryan noticed that Hua's high school was not far from Huaizhong Road. Because the school was on holiday, he only walked around the door and then took a group photo with a somewhat embarrassed Hua at the school gate.

The photo taken by passers-by was very ugly, even Ryan's eyes were narrowed. He wanted to delete it, but he couldn't resist, so he had to send it to her.

Why do you treat a shabby photo like a treasure? I just bought you clothes that you didn’t want, and now I will snatch them away no matter what.

Ryan couldn't figure out what Hua at this age was thinking. He just looked at her fair neck and felt that this was not bad. She was like a white cloth, retaining some things and adding a few touches of color to it.

At least the color is correct. Not to mention becoming as lively as Alicia, at least she doesn't become bitter and hateful.

"Tell me, where else are you going?"

"The snack street at Canghai University next door has several things that I want you to try."

Didn’t you just eat noodles?

Ryan glanced at the girl's flat body and let her drag him forward. He ran for about two miles and came to a more lively alley.

The alley is very narrow, with mobile vendors on both sides. Most of the diners are young, basically students from the nearby Canghai University. In this June, there is no shortage of hot pants and long legs.

The air was filled with a rich aroma, the chicken wings were tumbling in the oil pan, the squid was smoking on the iron plate, and a handful of spices and chili were sprinkled on it, giving Ryan some appetite.

"Senior brother, I'm going to buy two bowls of ice powder."

"Well, I'll just find a place to sit." Ryan found a small stool and sat down, but it wasn't for nothing. He bought two portions of sweet tofu, and then ate it with a plastic spoon while watching the crowds of people.

The atmosphere of the market place was very different, and it was a completely different world from the battlefield or laboratory where he often stayed. For a moment, he even forgot about the third collapse.

No wonder the small ones are hidden in the mountains and the big ones are hidden in the city. Who says that the hustle and bustle cannot cleanse the soul.

Ryan has no interest in famous mountains and rivers, but he really likes the atmosphere of the city. He can observe the ordinary or beautiful faces, and see the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of those men, women, and children.

Old couples supporting each other, young lovers bickering, sweaty vendors, women cleaning hard, and takeaway guys hurriedly coming and going.

It was this feeling that made Ryan feel that he was truly living in this world, rather than like a lofty time-traveler, pointing at the NPCs, with no room for anything else in his mind except the beauties in Thirteen Miles. .

Even though he understood that everything in front of him would soon disappear, Ryan was not depressed, but instead kept them in his heart even harder.

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

Hua didn't know when he was sitting next to him, scooping a spoonful of tofu puffs and taking another bite of ice powder, showing a satisfied expression.

Ryan glanced at the plastic bowl on the table. Inside was something slightly like jelly, with a layer of hawthorn, raisins and peanut crumbs on top.

He took a sip. The brown sugar was very sweet. Sweet Ryan smiled and pointed to the bustling crowd.

"Of course I'm looking at people."

Chapter 49 Thunderstorm is coming

See people?

Hua tilted his head slightly, a little confused. What was there to see in the crowd of people on the street? It was not too crowded.

Fortunately, she was in a good mood today, so she smiled: "Brother, you are quite talented as a philosopher, and you always say things that people can't understand."

"You're already talking about philosophers, and you still want to understand?" Ryan became interested while eating ice powder, "Would you like to hear something more obscure?"

"Okay, it sounds interesting."

Hua was eating and watching, feeling better and better. In recent years, Ryan rarely took her out to play. When they stayed together, they mostly taught boxing and swordsmanship.

"Hua, do you have a longing for me?"

When asked suddenly, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I want to catch up in your footsteps and become your strong backing."

The answer is obvious. Among the thirteen heroes, Hua was the one who had the earliest contact and was most affected.

"Well, but don't let your dreams imprison you in your life. You must know-"

Ryan took off his glasses, stretched out his right hand, and wiped the eyebrow-length bangs to the top of his head, speaking in a cold and gentle tone.

"Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding."

The hand holding the plastic spoon stopped, and Hua looked at the man in front of him in astonishment. At that moment, even his skin was covered in goosebumps, and his mind was empty.

At this moment, Ryan in front of her became extremely strange, as if she was on the starry sky and could no longer touch her. This short sentence actually gave her a feeling of fear.

Fortunately, Ryan suddenly smiled, wiped his hair down, put on his glasses again, and immediately returned to his gentle appearance.

"Are you a little confused?"

Not only is it unclear, it is simply terrifying to think about it.

Hua blinked and held his head gloomily: "Senior brother, it's best to be your usual self. It's better not to act like a philosopher."

"Actually, there is another philosophy. I won't demonstrate it today because I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it." Ryan coughed lightly, poured the last mouthful of ice powder and brown sugar water into his mouth, and then threw the plastic bowl away, "Let's go Well, I think the sizzling squid restaurant is pretty good, what's wrong? Do you want to eat sweet tofu?"

"Actually, salted tofu puffs are more delicious." Hua mumbled and stood up, "Senior brother, were you reciting your lines just now?"

"Well, the lines of a great villain. To be honest, if I hadn't met you, I might have had a chance to become him." Ryan shrugged, sighing softly in his heart.

This sentence is philosophical and half-true. He doesn't want Hua to be affected too deeply. Hua should live a strong, independent and passionate life. He can only say that taking care of is a double-edged sword.

Of course, he wouldn't stab him in the back like a lunatic, saying what he said about my stupid junior sister.

"Villain, that's okay, senior brother is definitely not a villain." Hua suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, preferring that Ryan joke with him, because this enthusiasm only belongs to a few people.

"Then what am I?"

"Hero, a hero who goes forward bravely and never backs down!"

"This is a good flatterer. Tell me, what else do you want to eat?"

In midsummer, the two of them squeezed in the crowded alleys, eating from the streets to the end of the alleys. By the time it was dinner time, their stomachs were basically full.

So Ryan was dragged to the milk tea shop in Canghai University. Hua said that she worked here last year and liked the environment here very much. She often finished her homework here before going home.

Seeing that the girl was in a good mood and seemed to want to penetrate every corner of her life, he did not object and entered Canghai University through the side door.

Ryan looked around and saw that the store was not big and the decoration was fresh and elegant, with white walls, long log tables, several good-quality oil paintings hanging on it, and a few bouquets of immortal flowers for decoration.

The shop owner is a middle-aged woman who still has charm. She is wearing a floral dress and looks very tasteful. She is greeting Hua gently.

"We haven't seen each other for a few months, and you found a boyfriend so quickly. Which department in our school is this from?"

"No, store manager, this is my senior brother." Hua quickly explained, but saw the smile on the store manager's face getting deeper.

Senior brother, he specializes in adoring junior high school girls. She has seen them a lot.

"really not!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. Hua, why don't you make a cup of blueberry milk tea for this senior brother to drink? Treat him as my treat."

"Thank you, manager." Hua bowed politely and asked Ryan to wait before getting into the bar.
