Xueming is going home.
Starting from the elevator of the Council of Five Kings, they arrived at the observatory on the twenty-sixth floor. At the end of the observatory, the two of them stepped onto a transparent plastic steel suspension bridge.
This bridge leads directly to the other side of the high wall, which is much more convenient than Xueming's first walk.
After getting off the bridge, you turn a big bend and arrive at the intersection of Moon Lane.
The familiar black Volga was still parked on the street.
Xiaoqi pressed the car key, and the car door opened automatically. Listen to her instructions: "Sit in front, co-pilot!"
Without saying a word, Jiang Xueming got into the back row carrying a silver suitcase.
Xiao Qi pouted: "Disobedient..."
Xueming explained: "I'm afraid."
Xiao Qi didn't understand: "The death rate of co-pilots in car accidents is indeed high, but I am a very good driver. Are you afraid that I will get into a car accident?"
Xueming then explained: "I'm afraid you'll touch my legs."
Brother Qi pursed his lips and straightened the large-brimmed hat of the driver's uniform. Her sly and mischievous smile could be seen in the rearview mirror, "Could it be that if you sit in the back seat, I can't touch your legs?"
Jiang Xueming: "Drive well."
"Mr. Jiang Xueming! Please sit tight, we will take you back to Anshan Health Center right now!"
Seventh Brother: “Want to listen to some music?”
Xueming: "No need."
Seventh Brother: "Do you want to open the window?"
Xueming: "No need."
"Then let's set off now. The whole journey is about..." Brother Qi started the car and paused: "I still don't know how many kilometers the whole journey is. The journey takes forty minutes. You need to make a reservation..."
Jiang Xueming interrupted: "I'll go back to eat, don't worry about it. Please turn on the air conditioner in advance, thank you."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qi jumped out with a fierce kick.
The last time I came here by car, Xueming fell asleep in the car.
This time he was full of curiosity and wanted to understand how the car reached the station 17 kilometers underground.
As Volga drove away from Moon Lane, many ancient street signs could be seen on the side of the road.
Passing Longhua Avenue and Kunlang 3rd Road, leaving this underground city, the car then crashed into a bright tunnel.
After about five hundred meters, there is an archway at the end of the tunnel, just like all big cities will set up signposts on the main highways.
The horizontal plaque of this archway has the words "Nine Realms" written on it.
Behind the archway, there are three levels and five checkpoints, as well as eight large sentry towers, and many armed personnel are on patrol.
Brother Qi showed his ID all the way to pass the border. When they reached the deepest point, the road branched into thirty-two ramps. They entered a strange building from one of the ramps.
Jiang Xueming was sitting in the car and could not clearly see the ceiling and floor outside the window. He only knew that the car suddenly stopped in a hemispherical room with no ceiling visible, so he became curious.
"Why did you stop the car?"
Xiao Qi replied: "Wait a minute, don't worry."
There was a sudden buzz in the empty room, as if some kind of huge mechanism started to charge.
Things outside the window also began to fly back, and the center of gravity of the vehicle began to shift.
Jiang Xueming could clearly see the situation outside the window. The vehicle he was riding in seemed to be thrown into a big roller and began to move as the entire building shifted.
Xiao Qi responded and started the vehicle: "This section of road is my favorite!"
Volga climbed up the wall along the soft and rounded inclination of the room, and the road ahead became clear. There were two signposts with dazzling red lights leading the way.
Xueming could feel from the change in gravity that this was an almost vertical uphill road.
"Mr. Xueming, we have boarded the ring highway, fasten your seat belts." Xiao Qi rushed towards the unimpeded circular passage: "This is a treasure project of the industrial department of the Nine Realms Station in the Soviet era. Originally we had to take a construction elevator for more than four hours to reach the ground, but with this ingenious expressway, it only takes ten minutes to get back to HK."
While talking, Brother Qi took out his mobile phone, opened the navigation map, and showed Mr. Xueming a projection model of the underground highway.
It was an extremely complex circle, similar to a donut structure of different sizes. These rings formed a compound road.
They are coupled and spliced by a huge connecting shaft hub, like a railway, which can adjust the route through donut road groups at different levels.
The roar of the Volga's furious engines echoed in the passage.
From time to time, one or two speed limit signs flashed on the ground, as well as the kilometers distance from HK.
In just seven minutes, they entered the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel.
The tunnel exit is getting closer and closer, and the midsummer sunshine in July shines on the car windows.
At this moment, Jiang Xueming breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally convinced that he had seen the light of day again and that all this was not his crazy dream.
Then--
——Then the traffic jam started.
Xiao Qi's facial features were distorted and her expression was tense.
She raged at the horn button for seventeen times, turning her head with a grin on her face, fearing that the pretty guy in the backseat would see her exaggerated road rage expression in the rearview mirror.
"Hey! What the hell!" Xiaoqi rolled down the window and yelled outside: "It turns out he's driving a Mazda! No wonder you're stuck in traffic!"
"Brother Qi..." Jiang Xueming said sincerely: "Thank you."
"What's going on?" Xiao Qi patted her face, trying to normalize her expression, and looked back at Mr. Xueming.
Jiang Xue said seriously: "After I bring the panacea back to the hospital, if my sister's condition gets better, maybe this will be the last time we see each other."
"Oh...oh..." Xiao Qi was distracted for a moment, "Are you not going to continue taking the train?"
"It's not necessary." Jiang Xueming said frankly: "The ticket BOSS gave me is enough for me and my sister to live for a while. The world is very dangerous, and I just want to live a good life."
The car in front is gone.
Xiaoqi didn't respond for a long time, and the horn of the car behind started blaring violently.
Jiang Xueming reminded: "Let's go, Brother Qi, you will get a ticket."
"Oh...oh oh oh!" Xiao Qi quickly stepped on the accelerator and continued the journey.
Jiang Xueming: "During the mental examination before, I was worried that like Bu Liexing, I would go to jail for a few days. You told me that it didn't matter. You could help me deliver the medicine to my sister. Thank you."
Xiao Qi waved his hand indifferently: "Hi! That's work! Don't pay too much attention..."
Jiang Xueming added: "I am a very insecure person. To be honest, I have wondered more than once whether you have ulterior motives for me."
Xiao Qi's expression changed.
Jiang Xueming continued: "For example, when we first met, I thought that you were actually an organ trafficking organization and that you were going to cut off my organs. I was also prepared to sell my organs."
Xiao Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Xueming finally asked: "But after this journey, I finally returned to the human world. I was thinking again that other waiters are not as enthusiastic about their employer as you are. This makes me feel strange and grateful... 7 Brother, can you explain?"
Xiao Qi replied shamelessly: "I'm just lustful."
Jiang Xueming: "Don't you mean to avoid it at all?"
Xiaoqi: "No."
Immediately afterwards——
——They had a strange conversation.
...
...
Jiang Xueming said angrily: "Then I say, I never want to go back underground again... let's go our separate ways so we can get together and part ways."
Xiao Qi's face was expressionless: "Tonight I will climb through the window of your house along with the Internet cable and cook for your sister. In a few days, when Bu Liuxing is released from prison, I will call a few good sisters to hold a tea party at your house. .”
Jiang Xue spoke righteously: "Forced marriage and breaking into private homes are illegal."
Xiao Qi's eyes were blank: "If you learn too much about law, you will slowly lose your humanity."
"Hahahahaha!" Jiang Xueming laughed out loud, feeling increasingly uneasy in his heart.
——He has no intention of finding a partner at all. He is twenty-one years old and is not of marriageable age.
Before his sister could live an independent life, he had no intention of dealing with another woman.
The awkward chat ended just like that.
There are no results and no answers.
It's like two people are joking and saying refreshing nonsense while driving.
...
...
The two returned to Anshan Health Center.
Xiao Qi specially sent Jiang Xueming to the door of the ward.
The two of them saw Jiang Bailu lying on the hospital bed, still sleeping, and did not enter the door immediately, planning to wait until the doctor came to ask about the situation.
Xiao Qi flipped the broken hair from her forehead, made a sad expression, and spoke in a soft voice, as if she was cherishing the words when parting.
"Are you really not coming back? Where will you live in the future?"
"It depends on how much money BOSS will give me." Jiang Xueming calculated the balance in his bank account: "If it is enough, I want to go back to my hometown first to settle the old accounts of my ancestral home. My family is very complicated. This You don’t understand the matter either.”
Xiao Qi nodded thoughtfully: "Ah...that's your family matter, so I won't ask. But I think you must be reliable in doing things."
Jiang Xueming asked again: "What about you?"
"Do you care about me?" Xiao Qi started covering her mouth and snickering again.
Jiang Xueming didn't say anything else, just waited quietly.
As if he couldn't stop laughing, Brother Qi became serious: "It's still the same as before. If you don't come, what other job can I have? It's just picking up new passengers, preparing rooms at the station hotel for them, and arranging their itinerary. Something like that... It's just some chores anyway, and it won't stop me from continuing to look at handsome guys."
Jiang Xueming: "Very good..."
Xiaoqi: "Well, it's pretty good."
The doctor walked slowly from the corridor and called Mr. Xueming into the room for a detailed discussion.
Xiao Qi finally left. When Xueming entered the house, she ran as fast as she could and ran downstairs without even saying goodbye.
...
...
Jiang Xueming sat by the bed, listening to the doctor talk about Bai Lu's physical condition in the past two days.
He was relieved that his sister's condition showed no signs of rapid deterioration.
Wait for the doctor to finish the ideological work for Mr. Xueming.
Xueming placed the suitcase next to the bed and waited quietly for the doctor to leave. Prepare to secretly inject your sister with a panacea.
He looked at Bai Lu sleeping soundly and wanted to reach out and pinch his sister's face, but he carefully retracted his hand halfway.
Finally, he heard the roar of the Volga's engine.
Brother Seven seems to have left.
...
...
In the car, Xiao Qi's eyes were red and her mouth was pursed.
She looked aggrieved and yelled into the phone.
"Yangchun! Yangchun! Wuwuwuwuwu!! I'm lovelorn!"
On the other end of the phone, Ms. Zhao Yangchun was packing the passengers’ luggage. She is the manager of the customer service department and also Xiaoqi's immediate boss and best friend.
She rolled her eyes and looked hopeless, and asked Xiao Qi: "How many times have you been broken up in love in the past three months?"
Xiaoqi: "Three times!"
Yangchun: "How many living people are there?"
Xiaoqi: "There is only one...aren't the other two paper figures? I can't draw it! I can't draw it! Why do you bring up my sad things! You bully me!~~"
Yang Chun: "Huh? Is there another living person?"
Xiaoqi: "Yes, yes! Yes!"
Yang Chun: "Then you...he...you...how long have you known each other?"
Xiaoqi: "Two days. But I feel like my heart is about to burst! Ahhhh! He is like an axe, splitting my chest open!"
Yang Chun thought for a while: "Well... have you confessed to him?"
Xiaoqi: "That's not true...but I hinted over and over again, and I touched him, and I just couldn't express my feelings on my face. Do you know that it's the first time I've felt this way about a living person?"
Yangchun: "Isn't he handsome?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"I suggest you." Ms. Zhao Yangchun said sincerely: "You try to have sex with him again, it's only been two days. Don't scare him."
"That's right." Xiao Qi stopped crying immediately.
Yang Chun asked again: "How do you get along? Tell me? What did he call you?"
Xiaoqi: "He called me Brother Qi."
Yang Chun: "Oh, I treat you as a brother."
"What should I do? Yangchun, what should I do?" Xiao Qi quickly asked: "Do I look like a man?"
Yang Chun: "To be honest...a little bit, Xiaoqi, the girls in the housekeeping department and the human resources department all regard you as their dream lover. To be honest, you look very handsome in a suit."
The words have not yet finished.
Xiao Qi returned to the downstairs of the health center.
...
...
Jiang Xueming had just given Bai Lu the panacea and used up a whole tube of injections.
He held his sister's arm and saw the red spots and papules on the thin forearm gradually dissipating.
Bai Lu's face also turned rosy.
Xueming felt that everything was getting better.
He heard the sound of a car braking suddenly downstairs. He remembered that this was the sound of the Volga's brakes.
Maybe Xiaoqi is back. Did she forget to take something?
Jiang Xueming thought so and took the initiative to walk to the door, ready to greet Brother Qi.
Seeing Xiao Qi running all the way from the corridor entrance, rushing to Jiang Xueming.
Panting, she asked seriously: "Mr. Xueming! Have you always regarded me as a man?"
Jiang Xueming was confused by this question, so he had to find a compromise.
"You can...let's put it this way...after all...I think...you are a very refreshing and clean person. At first glance, your personality does look like a boy."
Xiaoqi then asked: "Then do you like men?"
Jiang Xueming said nothing, feeling that it was a bit difficult to answer.
"Then wait for me!" Xiao Qi turned around and ran downstairs.
——What a weirdo, Xueming thought to himself.
He saw Brother Seventh stumbling downstairs in a hurry.
At this stall, Jiang Bailu woke up. When she woke up, she immediately sat up.
Only then did she realize that her body was stronger, her stomach ached no longer, and her breathing became easier. She quickly jumped out of bed and patted her red cheeks in the mirror.
She looked at her appearance in the mirror in disbelief.
"I'm fine?! Brother! I'm fine?!"
She pulled open her sleeves and saw that those nasty red spots on her fair arms had disappeared!
Jiang Xueming smiled: "Yes, you're fine."
"Brother...who was outside just now?" Jiang Bailu sneaked closer to her brother as if she had a guilty conscience.
Jiang Xueming was about to answer: "Yes..."
"It's me!" Xiao Qi has returned to the door of the ward.
She changed into a bright red dress, an off-the-shoulder gown, heavy makeup on her face, smoky eye shadow, and false eyelashes.
Her hair was tied back and she had a rose in her mouth.
There was a smell of lavender perfume wafting from her body.
Both brothers Jiang Bailu and Jiang Xueming looked like they had seen a ghost.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi covered her mouth and smiled artificially: "What's wrong? I don't like wearing skirts..."
Jiang Xueming: "No, you just went downstairs and then went up again."
Jiang Bailu: "It only took thirty seconds."
Jiang Xueming: "It's not that I don't like women."
Jiang Bailu: "Sister, the speed at which you change your clothes and put on makeup is a bit unnatural."
