Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 115 No.60 Scene Xia Mi’s first request

Northern Ireland, an unknown town.

Xia Mi put his palms on his forehead and squinted his eyes to look at the sun hanging in the sky.

"What the hell? Northern Ireland is over 50 degrees north latitude, and it's still so hot?" she muttered.

"Maybe it's hot everywhere this year." Chu Zihang looked at the map in his hand.

The big trees on both sides cover the entire street with their outstretched branches, like a long green shed. The dense leaves can provide shade from the sun and rain.

"Brother, do you think these trees will be beautiful when they lose their leaves?" she said, holding her bohemian style dress and twirling it around.

Chu Zihang also imagined in his mind, as if they had really seen autumn. Those leaves were falling from the sky, like a heavy yellow snow, and it felt like the sky was falling.

"Yes." He smiled faintly. It was a rare feeling of relaxation. It had been a long time since.

On both sides of the road are some villas with red brick walls, staggered on the lawn, all with European-style Gothic spiers. The distance between each villa building is very wide and separated by fences.

"Are people living here also worried about having their things stolen?" Xia Mi noticed Chu Zihang's gaze and followed it.

"Maybe I'm just worried that my neighbor's cats and dogs will damage the lawn." Chu Zihang said, "After all, such a low fence can't prevent thieves."

"Oh, I understand." Xia Mi stuck out his tongue and smiled with squinted eyes.

There are not many high-rise buildings in Northern Ireland, and the small towns are deserted after nightfall. Even if there are occasionally buildings that are crowded with people during the day, at night they will stand like dark boulders in the night, without any windows with lights.

Some are just endless mountains and forests, small red brick villas covered by trees, and empty and lonely river views. These are all beautiful, Chu Zihang thought.

He liked this small place very much, and suddenly he felt that it would be good to live here after graduation.

"Senior brother, do you want to live here in the future?" Xia Mi said suddenly, as if he had penetrated Chu Zihang's inner thoughts.

He looked at the girl with some surprise. The girl hummed softly a song that he had never heard before, walking with her hands behind her back and walking briskly, as if she didn't notice his gaze.

"A little bit." Chu Zihang was silent for a while, "This town is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yes." Xia Mi tilted his head, "Speaking of which, I also want to live here in the future."

"It's like the world in a dream. It's exactly the same as the place I expected in my heart." She turned to face Chu Zihang, with her back to the sun and opened her arms. "At this moment, the light and shadow of the past and present life intersect. I stand at the end of the world, helpless. Be worry-free, peaceful and happy.”

"This town is at the southernmost tip of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, facing the United Kingdom across the St. George's Strait." Xia Mi said with glaring eyes, "I heard that during the most difficult period of World War II, some people swam with swimming rings in their hands. Come across the channel to get here.”

"I guess those people also had the same idea as us..." she said, "and settled in paradise."

Chu Zihang couldn't help but start to think that if he lived here, he might hang out in those small bars every morning, no, one near the sea.

Because it must be extremely quiet there. There will always be one or two outdoor tables in the bar near the sea, and there will always be people sitting quietly with a bottle of red wine until the sun fades and only the navigation lights are left on the sea. Light.

Watching the stone crabs and golden red shrimps swimming in the sea, watching the sand gulls rising and falling on the beach, watching the setting sun leaving long shadows on him.

Just him?Will it be too lonely?It would be nice to just sit with someone again...

Thinking of this, Chu Zihang couldn't help but raise his head and stare at the girl in front of him.

"Why, why are you staring at me like this all of a sudden..." Xia Mi forced herself to look at him at first, but in less than ten seconds, she was defeated and could only look away with a blushing face.

"It's nothing." Chu Zihang also looked away, but his lips moved slightly, "What if I...if someone lives here with you for a lifetime?"

"Hmm...why do you ask this so suddenly?" Xia Mi walked backwards, tilted his head and thought for a while, "It depends on whether he is the one I want."

"What if it's the person you want?" Chu Zihang asked.

"That's great!"

"Let me think about it..." Xia Mi jumped up and down, as if he was jumping on a non-existent grid on the ground.

"I will buy a house here with him and live a simple life without so many worries and so-called fate that is destined to happen."

"In the world between me and him, we only have each other, that's enough!" The girl slowed down and walked beside him, "By the way, senior brother, why do you suddenly ask this?"

"It's nothing..." Chu Zihang said unnaturally. He was also wondering if he had a brain twitch at that moment...

"Just wanted to ask you what you think about the future."

"Actually, there are many." Xia Mi said, "Senior brother, you know that I later transferred to the joint preparatory class of Peking University and Kassel."

"Ah."

"At that time, I had a lot of admiration for BJ." Xia Mi muttered, "When I was a child, I read "The Book of Han", and Li Yannian sang: 'There are beauties in the north, peerless and independent.' So I thought BJ was a brilliant person. In this place, all the rouges in the north have waists as thick as silk and look majestic."

"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable and reasonable." Chu Zihang said, "What happened next?"

"Senior Brother, you and Senior Brother Lu are both bad at it. You didn't make bad comments before." Xia Mi rolled his eyes at him, "It didn't happen after that."

"In fact, when Li Yannian was singing, the capital of the Han Dynasty was in Chang'an, which is now Xi'an, which is far from BJ."

"The 'beauties' Li Yannian refers to refers to his sister Mrs. Li, who has nothing to do with BJ." Xia Mi smiled sheepishly, "I thought there were really many beauties in Peking University."

"Why do you like looking at beautiful women?"

"Who doesn't like to look at beauties?" Xia Mi hummed, "Do you know that even if I am a girl I can still like to look at beauties?"

"So what's your impression of BJ?" Chu Zihang's heart moved slightly, and he finally found a topic. Of course, he wanted to talk for a while.

Along the way before, whether on the plane or in the car, he and Xia Mi had not spoken a few words. For some reason, Xia Mi, who was usually noisy, was uncharacteristically quiet today.

"I can't tell..." Xia Mi thought for a moment, "It's not too good or too bad."

"It's too dry, it's cold, it's often windy, there are dust storms in the spring, housing prices are high, and the roads are so congested that people don't want to drive..."

"And the place I live in is not good either!" Xia Mi said loudly, frowning her delicate eyebrows, "It's small and narrow, and it squeezes my father, my mother, my brother and me."

"Why not rent a bigger house?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Young Master Chu, why don't you eat minced meat?" Xia Mi said angrily, "Do you know that I usually go to work after classes and work-study to support my family? What's more, my brother has to go to the doctor frequently. It's simply... A bottomless pit.”

"It sounds nice to rent a bigger house. Where do you get the money to rent a bigger house? Master Chu, will you give me money?"

"It's not impossible..." Chu Zihang pondered. "Really? That's great! Please take care of me, Master Chu!" Xia Mi immediately transformed into starry eyes and lay on Chu Zihang's chest with a look of admiration.

Then both of them froze, not only because of the strange topic of "keeping", but also because of the ambiguous distance of less than ten centimeters between them.

"Is it too close..." Chu Zihang recovered first, coughed twice and said.

He smelled the girl's scent again, which was like sunshine and rain, and the scent of gardenia perfume.

"Hmm..." Xia Mi also reacted, blushing and pulling away from Chu Zihang.

The two of them continued to walk in silence while keeping their distance, each with their own concerns.

"I thought at that time, when I grow up, I must leave BJ and go to a smaller city in the south."

"You can see water everywhere, and the trees are green in winter. It's not as cold as BJ. The housing prices are not as high as BJ. You can find my favorite food stalls downstairs. It's more peaceful and comfortable." Xia Mi suddenly broke There was silence.

"Very good." Chu Zihang said.

"But to be honest, BJ's food is quite delicious." She began to exude a youthful charm again, "The Lao Ya Soup Restaurant in Wudaokou, the beef noodle shop in Tiantongyuan, the pizza shop on Dawang Road..."

"You can take me to eat if you have the chance." Chu Zihang weighed his words, "I also prefer to eat delicious food."

"Nonsense." Xia Mi pouted, "Senior brother, if you liked food, you wouldn't eat junk fast food in Kassel every day."

"It's just a matter of time..." Chu Zihang tried to explain.

"Okay, okay." Xia Mi interrupted his useless struggle, "When I have time, I will take you to eat, senior brother."

"Ah."

"Actually, BJ is not as bad as I said..." Xia Mi walked on tiptoes, "If you give me BJ back now, I think I will still be quite happy."

"Because every time I set foot on BJ's land again, I feel like I'm home. I know every bit of it, I'm familiar with its temperament and its taste. I never worry about getting lost. There are various places to go. .”

"I miss the Laoya Soup Restaurant in Wudaokou, the beef noodle shop in Tiantongyuan, and the pizza shop on Dawang Road..." Xia Mi said softly, "I spent a lot of time in those places and remember the taste of each restaurant."

"It's not just the sweet, sour, spicy and salty taste, but some are happy, some are sad, some are disappointed, and some are proud..."

Chu Zihang listened silently, as if he could see behind these words, every moment of the girl in that city, every mood, good or bad, happy or sad...

I wonder if she feels lonely?Walking alone under the high-rise buildings in BJ, even if you have something sad, you can't find anyone to talk to.

There was an impulse in his subconscious mind. He wanted to accompany the girl in front of him to understand everything she said.

"Speaking of which, senior brother, you must go to that hot pot restaurant!" Xia Mi was still talking nonchalantly, "The tripe, beef jerky and roasted chicken there are simply amazing!"

"Furthermore..." She changed her mysterious expression again, walked closer to Chu Zihang and said, "There are many celebrities who like to eat in this restaurant. For example, last time I went there, I met that person..."

"And I'm very familiar with the owner of that store! He's from Chongqing. He takes two months off every year to go home. When I go to eat at his place, he will give me a small discount. When my senior brother and I go to eat together, Xiao The discount becomes a huge discount!”

"Why did it become a big discount?" Chu Zihang was puzzled.

"Because..." Xia Mi became coy, "The boss said that if I bring a boy to dinner, he will give me a free meal..."

"..." Chu Zihang was a little confused by this sudden flirtation and didn't know what to say.

The awkward atmosphere began to spread between the two again.

"Speaking of which, Senior Ye Sheng and Senior Aki Shutoku are getting married." Xia Mi fanned the wind with her little hand and seemed to say casually.

"Yeah." Chu Zihang responded calmly.

"It seems that Senior Ye Sheng wants to have a particularly grand proposal."

"Yeah." Chu Zihang still responded calmly.

Xia Mi was dissatisfied and lightly hammered Chu Zihang, "Brother, you are not cooperating at all!"

"What should I cooperate with?"

"Shouldn't you ask how to propose?" Xia Mi turned to look at him, her big eyes fluttering under her trembling beautiful eyelashes.

"Then what are they going to do with the proposal?" Chu Zihang had no choice but to cooperate, feeling like he was in a trap.

"Senior Ye Sheng is going to hold a dance, and he also needs to invite two pairs of groomsmen and bridesmaids to attend the dance." The girl crossed her fingers, "I have already invited Sister Nuonuo and Senior Brother Lu, and then Senior Brother Lu invited me..."

"You mean you and I will be another couple?" Chu Zihang hesitated for a while and said, "I'll forget it, I can't dance..."

"You can learn to dance if you don't know how!" Xia Mi was a little angry, "You've already invited me, do you want to watch me dance with another man, senior brother?"

Chu Zihang was silent, and a picture appeared in his mind for no reason...

In the splendid Norton Hall, Xia Mi was wearing a bohemian style dress just like today, with chestnut hair flying in the air, and two strands of soft forehead hair dancing.

She was as elegant and proud as a black swan, but the person holding her hand and dancing with her was... another strange man.

He couldn't help but his heart sank, as if a stone was pressing on his heart, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

"Senior brother, you must agree to me, because you still owe me three requests." Xia Mi narrowed his eyes slyly like a little fox, "Now I want to use the first one on you."

Chu Zihang thought that even if you didn't make the first request to me, I would eventually agree...

"I understand." He said, "I will go with you then."

"Okay!" Xia Mi jumped up excitedly, his eyes full of longing for the dance, "When we return to the academy, I will tailor a series of special dance training plans for you, senior brother. Starting with tango, I will first dance with you. Please tell me the basic steps of tango dance..."

The girl said and started to demonstrate on the road.

"First step, second step, third step..."

"Senior brother, look at me!"

Chu Zihang couldn't listen anymore, so he looked at her quietly, with a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.
