David turned his head numbly, and then saw the "Ranger in Xinghua Lane". 【Read full text】
It was a circular building from the late Empire era across the street. The door was at the back of the top floor. The steps were sunken into a bucket-shaped staircase, extending diagonally to the ground, just opposite the outdoor cafe.
Anthony walked down from the gate, tall, handsome, mature and powerful, exuding a majestic aura as deep as a mountain, as if even the sunlight was bending when it passed by him.
Gu Hanhan crawled around his trouser legs and asked in a low voice: "Have you seen him?"
David had no idea what he was feeling at this moment. His mind seemed empty and his heart seemed to be wrapped in a layer of ice and frozen. He almost watched numbly as Anthony walked down the steps step by step, got into the car, and drove away. When his servant named Xihua opened the door for him, he smiled and said to him: "Today is the weekend for Miss to go home at night. Why don't you go directly to school now? Miss is most happy that the husband will pick her up from school in person."
"Is he gone?" After a long time, Gu Hanhan, who couldn't stand it any longer, asked in a low voice.
David said, "He's gone."
"Finally gone..." Gu Hanhan lifted the tablecloth and came out, patting his chest, looking like he was surviving the catastrophe: "What a danger! We were almost caught!"
Gu Hanhan muttered: "What unlucky! It's my first time dating my sweetheart while shopping, so why did I bump into him? It's strange, he doesn't like to go out usually. Why did he think of coming to Torini today?" …”
"Something must have happened!"
The more Gu Hanhan muttered, the more uneasy he felt. Finally, he grabbed his handbag and ran away.
"I'm leaving first, David. See you next week!"
There was a faint smell of blood in David's mouth. One second he was laughing and saying that Yan Yan wanted to be a male and female robber with him, but the next second he flew away like a bird. The ranger only appeared here for a moment, and without even saying a word, she left him and ran after him without looking back!
I went on a date with my lover while shopping, and it turned out that this is what a lover is!
David exerted force on his hand, and the tablecloth was pulled off by him. There was a "crackling" sound, and the ceramic tableware was shattered everywhere on the table and floor. Youlan's "Moro Love" sprinkled all over David's hands and poured it on his body.
The waiter ran over quickly: "Guest, are you okay?"
David didn't seem to hear it. He stared blankly at the dripping coffee liquid on his hand. The orchid flame burned for a while and then went out.
The waiter thought sympathetically: He must have been kicked out of a fight with his girlfriend. Women are fickle. She looked sweet when she came in just now...
He handed the napkin to David: "Then...what else do you need, guest?"
David wiped his hands with a napkin and shook his head blankly.
So the waiter brought the bill.
The prices in the cafes on the banks of the Moro River are always relatively expensive. Including the broken cups and plates, the total bill was 37 yuan and 50 cents, and it was stated that only Earth Reserve coupons were accepted.
David stared at the 37 yuan and 50 cents bill, and even laughed to himself - Gu Hanhan not only ran away with others, but also ran away with them without even paying the bill!
Didn’t you bring the money as you said? Where is the money now?
David looked himself up and down. The suit of clothes the servant had prepared for him was so perfect. It was lost among the many tourists on the Moro River. As a result, he now had nothing of value on his body. Only the belt buckle seemed to be a ruby. David couldn't help but shake his head, and simply took the secret book off his fingers and handed it to the waiter.
The palm of the deceased's hand was holding a secret code that looked like an ordinary men's ring. He opened his mouth to say to the guest that this was not a pure natural gemstone or precious metal and we could not accept the pledge. However, David was already gone.
David left the banks of the Moro River but didn't know where to go. Go home? He really doesn't want to go back. But if he wanted to continue shopping and Gu Hanhan ran away, what would be the point of walking alone?
Finally, David walked into the town behind the river bank without knowing it. Colorful balls and ribbons were floating in the central square of the town. Residents were dressed in beautiful festive clothes. Banners with discounts were hung on the wall of the store opposite. David suddenly remembered that today was Freedom Day, and most of the slaves and servants of Lighthouse Star were given leave.
Upstairs of the store is a newly opened cinema. The three-dimensional posters hanging in the window appear to be the male idol stars that Gu Hanhan likes very much. David remembered Gu Hanhan's plans for today. One of the original items was to buy a large bag of snacks to watch the male star's newly released movie, so he walked through the door casually.
There are many floats for promotional trials on the aisles of store shelves. Behind the floats are young girls wearing miniskirts, enthusiastically selling goods. When David passed a float selling popcorn ice cream, he couldn't help but stop. The colorful popcorn piled up like a hill had a price tag on it. A large bucket cost 65 yuan and an ice cream was given as a gift. The unit was in cosmic coins, which was very cheap, but he had no money.
The girl selling popcorn glanced at David twice, and after collecting the money from the last customer, she scooped a large bucket and handed it to David.
David didn't answer, shook his head and said, "I don't have money to pay the bill."
"Take it," the girl put the popcorn bucket into David's hand, opened her mouth and smiled brightly, "This is a sample, there is no charge."
This answer surprised David. He stupidly held the popcorn in his arms and pointed to the movie poster not far away: "Can I try that one?"
A blush instantly appeared on the girl's face. She opened her mouth twice and closed it twice. It wasn't until her partner clenched his fist beside her to encourage him: "Hi, Max!" She finally plucked up the courage to say: "Although that I can’t try it, but I can ask you to take a look..."
David was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Thank you," he said regretfully, "I'm afraid this won't work. I'm really sorry, but I already have a sweetheart."
After saying that, David left the float, walked to the ticket office of the cinema, and asked, "How much does the movie ticket cost?"
Behind the counter was a blonde girl with a sweet smile. She told David in a particularly pleasant voice: "Today's free day discount, all videos are 100 yuan a piece?"
"Earth Reserve Notes?" David asked, wanting to double-check.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled, frowning. "You have such a sense of humor," she said. "Of course it's the Cosmic Coin."
David breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, otherwise the only way to make enough money in a short period of time would be to go to the Tiber River.
He nodded to the girl, then left the ticket office and returned to the store.
He noticed that there was a small trolley in the store that was provided free of charge to customers for temporary loading of items. It was placed in a fixed corner. Customers could just put a one-dollar coin into the coin hole, and then they could take it out and wait for it to be returned. When you push the cart, the coins will pop out. Because this town is adjacent to the banks of the Moro River, many rangers and wealthy tourists often return to the town's stores to purchase daily necessities. Rangers are the most undisciplined people in the universe. Most of them are too lazy to return carts for a steel coin of one universe coin. Therefore, carts that can pop out a coin can be seen everywhere in the store. , becoming an excellent livelihood for a group of half-grown children from poor families in a small town.
So, David Duran, the light of tomorrow in the galaxy, a man destined to be a legend, for a discounted movie ticket, an adult, confidently snatched away the pocket money of a poor child. Even the security guard couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up a stick and prepared to act bravely. But they are obviously no match. David can defeat fifty of them just by his speed alone, let alone a duel! The boss of the cart gang, a fourteen-year-old boy, was shocked when he saw David holding up seven or eight carts with one hand, throwing them in mid-air and throwing a trigonometric function curve into the lock position. Unable to stop, he offered help on the spot.
David and his new staff spent half an hour returning all the carts in the store and harvested a shopping bag of coins. David counted a hundred coins from them, left the remaining coins with the children, said goodbye to them and went to the ticket office.
The person who received David was still the blonde girl with a sweet smile. She put the coins away with a surprised expression and asked: "Which movie to watch?"
David pointed to the poster showing Gu Hanhan's favorite male celebrity: "That's it."
"Oh, it's very suitable." The girl shouted in a very romantic tone, and then issued the ticket for David.
The girl gave David a good seat and the movie started playing soon after he sat down. Only then did David know that the name of the movie was "The Boss Falls in Love with Me." The plot is of course full of loopholes, and the style is certainly not that high. The only thing visible in the whole movie is probably the face of the male protagonist. But David watched it with gusto and finished his popcorn. After watching the whole movie, he felt much happier.
After the performance, David walked at the end of the crowd. At the door of the screening room, two servants dressed in ordinary clothes came up to him. David threw the finished popcorn tube to them, and then they led the way to the top floor.
The apron on the top floor of the store was obviously occupied by the followers who came here. The aircraft department parked here was removed. They carpeted the ground, decorated the walls and pillars, and guards and servants stood everywhere. All, Hebra and Gal were waiting at the door with a group of attendants, and his private airship was parked in the center.
As soon as David walked in, everyone knelt down and saluted.
"Master," Hebrews called.
David kept walking, and said with a soft "hmm", "The chief attendant is here too." Then he stopped again as if he remembered something, and ordered: "There is a girl selling popcorn below, find a prince to accompany her. She watches movies—find a young handsome guy she’ll like.”
Hebrews answered "yes" and David went straight onto the airship.
The valet hurriedly helped him take a bath and change his clothes, which were stained by coffee. After finishing the work, the airship has taken off. David was sitting on the sofa wrapped in a bathrobe. Through the porthole, he saw the airship passing by the road sign engraved with "Waterfront Town", heading towards the Acropolis.
Hebrews came in and knelt at David's feet, held the secret book in his hands, and explained: "When the secret book leaves the owner's fingers, there is great fear in the family."
So David said nothing more.
He fiddled with the secret code redeemed by his subordinates, and was not in a hurry to put it back. Instead, he quietly looked at it in trance. After a while, he suddenly said: "Hebrew, I finally understand why everyone They all like to fight - love is indeed a war, no matter whether you win or not, you have to stand firm and clear the field."
