Chapter 30 The secret that cannot be told
Chapter 30 The secret that cannot be told
The whole world fell silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Chi walked into the noodle shop from the crowd.
He sat down next to Gu Zhuo with a very complicated expression and asked the question on behalf of everyone present.
"What on earth are you doing?"
Gu Zhuo thought this was too confusing, so he put down the cup in his hand and said, "I'm hungry, come over and have a meal."
Chen Chi was stunned.
He never expected that the truth of the matter would be so...reasonable, yet full of absurdity.
This is indeed reasonable. He has been fighting and winning since the misty morning, and has defeated thirteen opponents of the same level in a row. No matter how many advantages of time, place and people are involved, he will eventually get tired.
Tired and hungry.
When everything is over and it is time to eat at noon, it makes sense to find a restaurant and have a bowl of your favorite Sichuan cuisine, right?
Thinking this way, Chen Chi was completely unable to convince himself with this reason, and asked bitterly: "So you didn't see all the people standing outside?"
"I'm not blind." Gu Zhuo said as a matter of course.
Then he stood up and looked outside the store, at the crowd watching in silence, thought for a moment, and said, "Thank you."
He said thank you very seriously.
In Gu Zhuo's original conception, these thirteen battles were far from being as simple as today's results. The biggest reason for the discrepancy between facts and calculations was undoubtedly due to the four words "harmony among people" and "public expectations".
The reason why he missed this point was largely because he had no similar experience in his previous life and could not imagine that the people of Wangjing could give him such support.
Then he should sincerely say thank you for this.
With the words "thank you", people's silence suddenly melted away, turning into enthusiastic waves and greetings.
"Brother Gu, you look really handsome today!"
"Why are you thanking me? I like your nonchalant look!"
"Can I invite you to dinner some other day, Brother Gu~"
"Don't be so polite. Mr. Gu, the most important thing is that you eat well, drink well and sleep well. We are already very happy just looking at you."
Gu Zhuo listened to the voices in the crowd and looked at the faces full of enthusiastic smiles, so he also laughed and said jokingly: "I don't plan to treat you to lunch, mainly because I can't afford it."
After saying this, he turned around and sat back in his chair, leisurely drinking a cup of tea, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
The owner had already entered the kitchen and was carefully preparing a bowl of Sichuan cuisine with tomato sauce. It would probably be ready soon.
Chen Chi took this opportunity to ask, "So why did you go from Baicao Garden to Changzhou Academy?"
Gu Zhuo said: "Because I miss you."
"miss?"
There was confusion in Chen Chi's voice.
"Yeah, I just miss you."
"When I was practicing in the academy, I would occasionally come here to eat a meal to change my taste. I thought the taste here was just ordinary, but after I really left, I missed it again."
Gu Zhuo explained: "On the day we decided on the time and place, I thought since we were going on a long journey, we might as well just walk over from Baicao Garden and have a meal after the fight."
After he finished speaking, Chen Chi fell silent again.
Even the crowd outside was silent for a moment.
When this news passed through the big mahogany door of Cheung Chau Academy and fell into the ears of the group of old people, the endless quarrels disappeared.
It's that simple.
It's not about humiliation or showing off.
It's not about self-certification.
It’s not for Lin Wanyi either.
He just wanted to have a meal he liked, that's all.
Chen Chi sighed, stopped asking questions, and shouted to the shop owner, "Give me a bowl of the same!"
Following his words, people finally stopped watching and went into the restaurants along the street, saying something roughly the same.
——Give me a bowl of what Senior Brother Gu usually likes!
…………
Lin family, that library.
After hearing that Gu Zhuo won the last game and what he said afterwards in the noodle shop, Lin Wanyi looked out the window.
That is the direction of Cheung Chau Academy.
She imagined the reactions of those old men, smiled, and suddenly found this very interesting.
——When you think that someone is trying so hard to humiliate you, and in fact he has indeed humiliated you, just when you are determined to face it all, you suddenly find out that the other person doesn't even have you in his eyes...
How much self-humiliation is this?
……
……
After finishing the bowl of Sichuan noodles and leaving the noodle shop, Gu Zhuo was unable to set out on the road back to Baicao Garden.
A carriage had stopped outside the door early, waiting silently.
Chen Chi looked at him and said apologetically, "I really can't refuse this for you. You have to see it."
Gu Zhuo expressed his understanding, calmly stepped onto the carriage, and left openly under the gaze of many people.
The carriage drove all the way to the center of Wangjing, and did not turn around when it reached the moat of the old imperial palace. Instead, it went straight into the main gate without any hesitation.
This scene was seen by many people with ulterior motives, and then reached the ears of many important figures in Wangjing, causing these people to frown subconsciously and start to think seriously about whether they should stand up and do something for this genius, such as providing a guarantee or taking a firm stand, if the Sky Patrol had inexplicably targeted Gu Zhuo.
——The carriage without any features represents the Sky Patrol Department, which is not a secret to these bigwigs.
I don’t know how long it was before the sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs finally disappeared.
"arrive."
The driver said to Gu Zhuo, "Mr. Gu, please step inside."
Gu Zhuo has no objection.
After getting off the carriage, he looked up and saw a nine-story building.
This building is quite beautiful.
The red walls and yellow tiles complement the beautiful spring scenery; the bells hanging on the eaves ring gently in the breeze, bringing peace of mind and tranquility.
Gu Zhuo pushed the door open and entered the building, then walked up the wooden stairs to the highest point.
A woman in a black dress was standing by the railing, gazing into the distance.
Gu Zhuo did not greet her, but walked to her side very naturally and looked at the scenery she saw.
The weather is fine today, with no clouds in the sky.
The mountains in the far distance were dyed a deep blue by the light of the sky, setting off the pitch-black solemnity of the Wangjing city wall. Below the wall were countless flying eaves and brick walls, as well as countless living beings.
At this moment, the world in his heart was very quiet, without any sound.
"I arranged all these thirteen people today."
Pei Jinge said softly: "It's to take a look at you."
Gu Zhuo asked: "Do you see it clearly now?"
When he said this, his voice was very calm, without any emotional ups and downs.
The reason why he was in a hurry to break through that day was because of the inevitable meeting today. He didn't want the other party to discover his deepest secret.
Since you have done everything you should do, there is no need to be nervous at this time, just stay calm.
That's what he thought.
But Pei Jinge is not like that.
“It’s not clear enough.”
She retracted her gaze from the distance, turned around and looked into Gu Zhuo's eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm curious about how many secrets you are hiding."
When I finished writing the first paragraph, I suddenly thought of promoting products.
