Not long after, Chen Xing took Su Na to a nearby small cafe at the invitation of Lu Dahai.
There are vines climbing on the wall, and small colored lights poke out from the leaves, alternating between light and dark like breathing. A kerosene lamp is lit on the semi-open plastic table, giving it a strong rural pastoral style.
The decoration is naturally not comparable to that of cafes in big cities, but for Dragonstone Town, it is already the best.
This cafe is located between the express station and the rental building. Chen Xing would pass by it after get off work in his previous life, but he had never gone in because for him at that time, five copper coins for a cup of coffee was too expensive.
"Gentlemen, Miss, please use it slowly."
The young waitress brought the coffee, her eyes wandering, and she glanced at Chen Xing's face and clothes from time to time, showing admiration.
Chen Xing remembered this girl. She was in her seventies. She was considered a very good-looking beauty in Longshi Town. He used to look at her a few more times every time she passed by, thinking how nice it would be to have a girlfriend like her.
Now that time has passed, I no longer feel anything when I watch it again. Perhaps, this is what people call growth.
The girl's eyes were rolling, as if she was thinking about something. But in the blink of an eye, when she saw Suna sitting next to her sucking on the hose, she became disappointed again. She subconsciously touched her face, as if comparing which one had whiter skin and looked better.
However, there was no comparison. Although there were few people in Dragonstone Town who were more beautiful than her, in front of Suna, she was like a stone touching a beautiful jade, and she was instantly compared to her.
"I heard there's going to be a war soon."
Lu Dahai drank coffee and chatted about the hottest topics at the moment. The dispute between the third princess and the old king has been going on for a long time, and now a demon princess has emerged. People from all walks of life are rushing to the center of power, hoping to get a piece of the pie in the future reshuffle. There was so much hustle and bustle that the entire Ambergris River was about to turn into a pot of porridge.
"What, you want to go out and have some adventure too?" Chen Xing asked.
"I'll forget it. It's not easy to hold on to this small fortune. It's just sending cannon fodder." Lu Dahai laughed at himself.
Chen Xing smiled and did not answer.
"Li Xiong Xiaojun and the others resigned and left, saying they wanted to go out and conquer the world. I don't think they can do it. They need money but no money, and they need technology but no skills. They can't accomplish anything." Lu Dahai looked at Chen Xing, "But you are a I’ve seen people who can achieve things before.”
"Master Fei won the prize, I am just lucky." Chen Xing said casually. It’s not that he’s humble, that he’s time-traveled and reborn, isn’t he lucky?
If he had not been reborn, he might not be doing better than Lu Dahai in front of him. After all, he is still a small boss and lives a comfortable life.
"Don't you and I know where luck is? Others go out to play and make trouble after get off work, but you go home quietly by yourself, reading and learning to shoot. Anyway, you are different from others." Lu Dahai recalled. road.
In this life, Chen Xing himself had never worked under Lu Dahai, but he had worked under him for a period of time in his previous life. When he traveled through time, he did not inherit many memories from his predecessor. Everything in the past was vague and only a rough outline.
Therefore, Chen Xing did not dare to answer casually in case he said something wrong.
The personality of the predecessor is actually very similar to Chen Xing, and he is also a hard-working person. Perhaps it is because of this similarity that he traveled through time and took over this body after the death of the predecessor.
It's just that compared to him, the predecessor was a little simpler, especially for women. When he sees a beautiful woman, he is controlled by his hormones, so he is tricked by Aaliyah.
Of course, when Chen Xing was in his early twenties, he would still be cheated by women. After all, everyone has been young before, so it was normal.
"So, when you wanted to leave, I didn't keep you..." Lu Dahai looked up at the lights under the eaves, as if sighing, "If it had been twenty years earlier, I would have wanted to go out and have a try."
"Actually, it's pretty good now. An'an is stable. Your child isn't young anymore, right?" Chen Xing said.
"You're in seventh grade. If you don't obey, you won't learn anything in rural schools." Lu Dahai said and glanced at Su Na across from him, "Your child will be born soon, right?"
If you look closer and take a closer look, you can still see Suna's pregnant belly.
Chen Xing smiled and said nothing. It's not okay to admit this kind of thing, and it's not okay not to admit it. If you admit it, you are a scum, and if you don't admit it, you are a scumbag, so it is best not to answer.
Lu Dahai was a good person. When Chen Xing didn't answer, he naturally stopped continuing the topic and returned to the domestic situation.
"Oh, if there really is a war, it will be difficult for my express delivery business." Lu Dahai sighed.
Once a war breaks out and people are panicked, online consumption will drop, the number of emails will naturally follow, and business between different camps will also be cancelled.
"There will definitely be fluctuations, but don't be so pessimistic." Chen Xing comforted. In the memory of his previous life, the Civil War in Ambergris River did not last long. After all, the tradition of aristocrats is to compromise, and there are very few cases where the outcome is truly fatal. When the fight is almost done, we will sit down and negotiate.
Moreover, if the red civil war lasts for a long time, the Huang Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom will take advantage of it. Although the mother and daughter wanted to tear each other apart, they finally stopped for their own benefit. After that, there were still a lot of small frictions and small actions, intrigues, and mutual penetration, but there were no large-scale wars.
"You are outside and have a lot of experience. Please give me some advice." Lu Dahai looked at Chen Xing eagerly.
"I haven't been in this industry for a long time. What advice can you give me?" Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. If you don't want to do this one day, come to me in Orchid Town and let's sum it up. There’s business to be done.”
Lu Dahai is good at business and life, so he is a good partner. Next, Chen Xing will work on an escape room project and transform the No. 65 underground survival shelter into a playground. He will also expand his business abroad and recruit suitable talents as soon as they are available.
"Oh, that's great!" Lu Dahai looked happy and held up the coffee cup with both hands as if drinking. "Master Chen's words are enough. I, Lu Dahai, will do it first!" After saying that, he took a sip of coffee. Bored.
The two chatted happily. After chatting for half an hour, Chen Xing wanted to continue shopping, so they separated.
"Brother, have you lived here before?" Su Na asked curiously. She didn't speak at the side just now, but she kept listening attentively. She just lost social contact for a long time, not that she had any intellectual problems. Under the guidance of Ye Yang Bailiu and Jian Yue Canglian, he gradually returned to the level of a junior high school student.
Maybe in a few years, she will be almost like an ordinary girl in Edge Town.
"Yes, I lived here for a while." Chen Xing replied.
"When you were a child?" Su Na asked.
"Well, that's right..." Chen Xing nodded thoughtfully. Perhaps the last life for him was "when he was a child".
"Then, then..." Su Na hesitated, as if it took a lot of effort to ask, "Where are your parents?"
"This..." Thinking of his parents on Earth, Chen Xing fell into silence. After a while, he came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I don't know..."
He didn't know how to answer this question. He didn't know if he could go back or see the two elders. He couldn't even determine whether they were in the same time and space, so he could only answer that he didn't know.
"Brother, are you the same as Su Na? Are you on your own?" Su Na asked timidly.
Tong Yan Wuji, Su Na's words evoked the loneliness deep in Chen Xing's heart, and his expression became a little depressed.
In this big world, he is just a passer-by, with no relatives or friends. Even the secrets in his heart can only be kept to himself, and he never dares to tell anyone.
Because he doesn't know what others will think of him.
alien? monster? Or something else.
This is why he sympathizes with Nova. We are both visitors from a foreign land, wandering alone.
Seeing Chen Xing's lonely look, Su Na's mood became very low.
"Brother, what's wrong with you..." She shook Chen Xing's arm, her eyes filled with tears.
"Yes, I am just one person." Chen Xing sighed.
"Brother, don't be sad. You still have Suna." As she spoke, Suna started crying. "Suna is my brother's relative. Suna will always be with my brother. Suna will never be separated from my brother."
"Brother, please don't be sad. Suna is scared, wuwuwu..."
The girl's weak cry touched a certain heartstring, and Chen Xing was a little moved. He hugged Su Na's shoulders and rolled up his sleeves to wipe her tears.
"It's okay, stop crying, it won't look good if you cry again."
"Brother, please don't be sad, okay?" Su Na looked at Chen Xing, her green eyes like gems in the water.
"Okay, okay, I'm not sad, not sad." Chen Xing coaxed.
"There's a hotel in front. I used to eat there. Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
After some coaxing, Su Na finally burst into tears and smiled, hugging Chen Xing's arm with a happy face.
