Eternal Burning - Chapter 36

[Chapter 36 You Are Really Going To Die]

When he woke up in the morning, Shang Muxiao was no longer by his side. After washing up, he went to the living room and found that he was neatly dressed, holding a cup of delivery coffee from a fast food restaurant in his hand, and was bending over to look at the Celestron’s eyepieces.

I’m used to seeing his casual appearance on weekdays, but I’m a little unaccustomed to seeing such an elite businessman at first glance.

When he saw me awake, he pointed to the restaurant and said, “Breakfast is on the table.”

I nodded and walked to the table, not forgetting to tell him before leaving, “I told you not to mess around.”

Breakfast is a classic American set meal . , bacon, fried egg, sausage, and a cup of coffee.

I disliked the bitterness of the coffee, so I made myself a cup of Earl Grey tea. The black tea with the aroma of bergamot flows smoothly through the throat, making the still somewhat chaotic brain gradually regain clarity.

“Is it okay to use the telescope?” Shang Muxiao came to the restaurant and took a piece of fried egg from my fork as he spoke.

I didn’t expect that he would suddenly come over, and I was startled. The reaction took a while to say, “Oh, it’s good.”

“I bought this for you with my own money. You are not allowed to throw it away for the rest of your life, listen. Are you there ?”

“Your own money?” I thought about it before, Shang Muxiao was only twenty years old, he didn’t graduate and he didn’t have a job. Even if the family had more money, it would still be the family’s money. It cost him 300,000 yuan. There is a sense of guilt in the news that “an eight-year-old child is carrying a parent behind his back to reward the anchor with a huge sum of 300,000”.

Because of this sense of guilt, I even thought about secretly selling the binoculars second-hand and giving him the money back…

“Yeah, the money I made by myself was 100% made by myself, I didn’t use my dad’s. A penny. Why are you so surprised? Do I look like a dude who only knows how to spend money?” Shang Muxiao’s expression was a little unhappy.

I didn’t dare to look at him with a guilty conscience: “…cough, no.”

“Since I was 18 years old, I have been making money from competitions. It can be regarded as the first pot of gold in my life. Later, I used this pot of gold to make some financial investments. I bought the HP4 myself, and it cost more than one million.” He muttered angrily, “I knew it would not be so expensive.”

When he said this, I thought that he had won the championship before. The bonus, I didn’t care at the time, but I remember that the amount seemed to be 300,000. Yin Nuo said that this is his first time winning the championship, and with his previous ranking, the prize money is not expected to be too much. In two years, he earned more than one million by himself. No matter from his age or record, he can be said to be very powerful.

When I was twenty years old, I was still a stunned young man who didn’t understand anything.

“Since it’s so memorable, how can I give it to Zhou Yanyi and give it to him?” After all

the calculations, the car has only been driven for more than a year.

“Oh…” He adjusted his tie for a while, and said after a while, “You can’t sit anyway, so if he likes it, sell it to him. The same goes for me driving my sister’s Hummer.”

He glanced at the time, and hurried with me bid farewell.

“Let’s go.” He wiped his mouth, bent down and kissed my cheek, then turned away.

After Shang Muxiao left, I went to the hospital for rehabilitation after breakfast. After a morning of kung fu, I was exhausted, and I was sweating heavily in winter.

“You have been injured for more than ten years, and rehabilitation must be difficult. Hold on, it will definitely pay off over time.” The physical therapist helped me relax my hand muscles while cheering me on.

“I know.” Spreading my fingers, I removed the sweat-soaked sports bandage on my hand and threw it into the trash can beside me.

After the first few days of practice with blisters on my hands, the physical therapist recommended that I buy a sports bandage and stick it on the palm of my hand. This thing has obvious effects and is very easy to use.

I put on my clothes, opened the door, and I said goodbye to the physiotherapist: “Then I’m leaving, see you next time.”

“See you next time, happy New Year’s Eve.”

I was startled, and then I remembered that today is New Year’s Eve.

He said “Happy New Year’s Eve” to him. After leaving the hospital, I drove on the street and found that although it was not evening, there were significantly fewer pedestrians and vehicles.

Everyone has gone home for the New Year.

On New Year’s Eve, the family should be reunited, but I seem a little overwhelmed.

In the past, loneliness was my own, I regarded it as a tame pet, we get along well and live in harmony; now, loneliness is imposed on me by the whole world, it is like a mischievous skunk, jumping up and down, let me moment Neither want to be alone with it.

Hesitating whether to find a place to celebrate the festival, Shang Muxiao called and asked me if I was free in the evening.

“Yes. What’s the matter?”

“Take you to a good place at night, and wait for me downstairs at five o’clock.”

When I heard it, I was not surprised. I just thought he was like me, and he had no place to celebrate the New Year after quarreling with his family. .

Since we can’t be reunited, it’s fine to live in our two-person world.

I agreed immediately, and only waited until 15:00 to spend the festival with him.

Who would have thought that before five o’clock, Shang Muxiao’s car didn’t come, and Shen Luoyu’s phone came first. Probably meant to let me hurry home for the New Year’s Eve dinner, saying that the whole family was waiting for me, and they wouldn’t have dinner if I didn’t come.

I can guess, what family is waiting for me? I was afraid that my aunt didn’t see me before dinner, knowing that it was wrong, she just asked Shen Luoyu to call me to go down the steps.

“No, let’s eat, I have something to do at night.” The

sky will be dark and the temperature will be very low. I waited downstairs, felt cold, and shrank into the scarf, making my voice a little vague.

“What else do you have to do for the new year?” Shen Luoyu obviously didn’t believe it.

“Dating.”

Shen Luoyu choked, and seemed to realize that I had already left the list and was a person with a “partner”.

“Oh, oh…” she said, “Okay, then, I told my mother that you went to a friend’s house to celebrate the New Year. You, if you have time during the festival, come to my house, and my mother said that I want to chat with you. .”

Shen Luoyu didn’t say, I was also preparing for this.

“Well, I see. Say sorry to everyone for me, and wish them a Happy New Year.”

Shen Luoyu sighed for some reason: “Happy New Year to you too.”

Not long after hanging up, a cold white car light called from a distance, I Squinting to see, it was Shang Muxiao’s black Humvee that drove in the last twilight.

I always need Shang Muxiao’s assistance to get into this car. Unlike before, this time when he carried me into the co-pilot, not only did I not feel uncomfortable at all, but I felt very relieved.

“Teacher, you’re too thin.” He put me down, put away the wheelchair skillfully and stuffed it into the trunk, then put it in the cab, and continued the previous topic, “I’m afraid I’ll break you when I hold you. .”

According to the context, the “hold” he was referring to should be the action of picking me up from the wheelchair just now, but I always felt that he didn’t mean this “hold”, and I didn’t know how to respond to him for a while.

So, I pretended to adjust the downwind and asked him: “Where are we going?”

“You will know when we get there.” He started slowly, “It will be very interesting.

” Interesting” doesn’t really sound like a review of a restaurant, it just doesn’t sound right.

But at that time, maybe it was Shen Luoyu’s phone call that made me decide to let go of my brain, or maybe I finally got rid of the loneliness, this skunk made me happy, I was too lazy to think, too lazy to think about anything. In other words, since I was with Shang Muxiao, I completely gave up thinking.

The car drove for a full hour, getting more and more sideways, to the suburbs. Just when I thought I was going to leave the market, he turned into a gate, which was quite imposing, but looked like a residential area no matter what.

There are dense forests on both sides of the road. If the street lights were not bright, it would make people wonder which forest park they drove into.

Maybe it’s a private restaurant hidden in the city… I stared at the dark sky outside the car window, and my heart felt uneasy for no reason.

Shang Muxiao drove for another full ten minutes before he parked the car in the underground garage.

When I got out of the car, I looked around. It was obviously a private garage, and it could park more than 20 cars. Looking at the past, they were all different luxury cars.

If this is really a private restaurant, it is estimated that it is only open to the powerful.

Shang Muxiao was familiar with the door and led me through a door. When the door was opened, it turned out to be a password.

Entering the elevator, he pressed the number “1”, then leaned against the wall, and suddenly said without warning, “This is my home.”

I was stunned, trying to find a joke on his face. Traces, but no, he is not joking.

The elevator quickly reached the first floor. After a “ding” sound, the door slowly opened, and I looked out of the elevator stiffly.

“I’m back…” Shang Yunrou greeted me with a smile on her face. When she saw me, her expression went blank for a moment, full of surprises.

She didn’t know that Shang Muxiao was going to bring me back, but he didn’t tell her.

“I’m back.” Before I could react, Shang Muxiao pushed me out of the elevator, “Professor Bei, do you know him? He’s going to have dinner with us today, please ask Mrs. Wang to add a pair of chopsticks.”

Shang Yun stared softly . She looked at me like the sky was about to collapse. With what she knew about Shang Muxiao, she should have guessed the relationship between me and him at this moment.

I closed my eyes, feeling terrible.

It turned out that this was what he meant by “very interesting”. I thought he was going to spend the holidays with me and have a two-person world, but in fact he just wanted to bring me back to add some “meaning”. It was my wishful thinking from start to finish.

I’m like a ramen show given away at a hot pot restaurant that exists only to spice up a mediocre dinner tonight.

“Which one is back?” A slender figure stepped down the spiral staircase, the voice was a male voice, and it sounded familiar. I looked up and almost thought I was hallucinating.

The other party was wearing a long-sleeved cheongsam embroidered on a black background, with the side opening to the root of the thigh, with a slender figure, long hair reaching to the waist, and holding a… small dog in his hand, if the makeup on his face was not too strong, It is simply the rebirth of Mei Zixun.

I know two people who are very similar to Mei Zixun and related to the business. One is an actress who amazed Yu Xixi ten years ago, and now Shang Lu’s successor, and the other is Shang Mu, the last time I met. Xiao’s brother, Fang Qinian. Now, these two people gradually merged into one in front of me, becoming the cheongsam “beauty” in front of me.

Seeing me, Si Ying, or Fang Qinian stopped, he was only slightly surprised, not as big as Shang Yunrou’s reaction.

He lowered his eyelids and looked at Shang Muxiao behind me, touched the dog’s head and said coolly, “You are really going to die.”
