Chapter 591 Let's go to Northland Bank together, Hezi
Although the hotel environment here is acceptable, it is a far cry from the magnificent Northland Bank. The hotel room is like an old thing forgotten in a corner, very simple and plain.
The wall paint was peeling off, revealing mottled marks, as if telling the vicissitudes of time; the furniture was old, exuding a faint musty smell, which made people frown; the bed was also hard, and sleeping on it would not be very comfortable, making people feel very uncomfortable. Such an environment was far from the comfortable residence they were used to, no wonder everyone showed a helpless expression.
After a moment's silence, Lin Feng spoke up to break the deadlock and suggested: "Well... why don't we go to the Northland Bank to rest? The game is over anyway, and there is no need to race against time like before. If you are not in a hurry, there seems to be nothing wrong with going back to the Northland Bank to rest." After hearing what Lin Feng said, Kong and Paimeng fell into thought.
Their eyes looked at Shen He intentionally or unintentionally, and their eyes were conveying some silent information. They were worried that Shen He would have concerns about going to Northland Bank. After all, Shen He was a bit withdrawn, and he had been alone for many years. He was used to a quiet and simple living environment, and he might not be able to adapt to an unfamiliar environment. Moreover, as Northland Bank was Zhidong's industry, Shen He might have some concerns and resistance to it.
Seeing their performance, Lin Feng naturally understood what they meant. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile. Then he turned his eyes to Shen He and said softly: "Shen He, you have nothing to do alone, why don't you come with us. The environment of Northland Bank is very good, very comfortable and pleasant. Going there to rest for a while can also help you relax."
Lin Feng's tone was full of invitation and concern. He hoped that Shen He could feel his sincerity, put aside his worries, and go to Northland Bank with them. He knew Shen He's character very well, so he spoke very carefully, fearing that any wrong words would make Shen He more resistant.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Shen He couldn't help feeling a little surprised, and her beautiful big eyes were instantly filled with doubts. She stared at Lin Feng, as if she wanted to find some clues from his face, trying to solve the doubts in her heart, but in the end she got nothing.
Shen He's eyes were clear and deep, like a clear spring, which made people see through her eyes at a glance, but they seemed to hide endless secrets, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking at the moment. She frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on her face, as if she was very surprised by Lin Feng's proposal.
"What do you mean?" Shen He finally asked. Her voice was like a mountain spring, clear and ethereal, with a hint of coldness. "I remember that the Northland Bank seems to be an industry of Zhidong, right? Is it really appropriate for us to go there rashly?" Shen He's heart was full of doubts. She knew the background of the Northland Bank and knew that it was an industry established by Zhidong in Liyue. She was inevitably a little worried and uneasy about going to such a foreign place.
Shen He's question made Lin Feng and Paimeng laugh. Paimeng laughed so hard that her body almost turned into a ball. She finally stopped laughing and explained to Shen He, "Shen He, don't worry! Now that things have come to this, we won't hide it from you. In fact, Lin Feng is a member of the Fatui! The Traveler and I have always lived in the Northland Bank. It's like a cozy nest in Liyue."
Paimon's tone was light and cheerful, as if this was a very common thing. As she spoke, she gestured in the air, trying to make Shen He understand more clearly with vivid actions. Her eyes were shining with excitement, and she had no idea that her words might lead to more misunderstandings.
Hearing Paimon's words, Shen He frowned slightly, and her eyes slowly moved away from Lin Feng and fell on Kong and Paimon, as if she was thinking about something. She secretly wondered in her heart that Lin Feng did not look like the Fatui in her impression, but why did Paimon say that? After a while, Shen He turned her gaze back to Lin Feng again, with a hint of doubt and disbelief in her eyes.
Shen He didn't have a good impression of the Fatui. She had had several encounters with them before. They gave off a chilling vibe. Their eyes were cold and their behavior was always like a stranger who wanted to stay away from them. But Lin Feng in front of her gave a completely different feeling. He was gentle and friendly, and treated people sincerely. It was really hard to associate him with those cold-blooded Fatui.
"I have met the Fatui people, and they give me a completely different feeling." Shen He's voice was very soft, but it revealed a kind of firmness, as if she was defending her own judgment. "They exude a chilling feeling, and they always look like strangers are not allowed to approach them, but you..." She paused, looking up and down at Lin Feng, with a look of scrutiny and doubt, "You don't have that feeling at all."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly. He knew that this misunderstanding might not be explained for a while. He shook his head helplessly and sighed in his heart. This was really a ridiculous thing. He really had little to do with the Fatui. Lin Feng felt a little wronged, but he also understood Shen He's doubts. After all, his identity was indeed easy to cause misunderstandings.
"Maybe it's because I don't really participate in the affairs of the Fatui." Lin Feng sighed, trying to make his tone sound more relaxed, trying to downplay the awkward situation. "But it doesn't matter, Shen He, don't take it to heart." He paused, then continued, "So, what do you think? Do you want to join us?"
Lin Feng hoped that Shen He could put aside his doubts and go to the Northland Bank with them. He knew that Shen He was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. As long as she felt everyone's sincerity and kindness, she might change her mind. He looked at Shen He with expectant eyes, hoping to get her affirmative answer.
Shen He was silent for a moment, her eyes wandering between Kong and Paimong, as if observing their reactions. When she saw Kong and Paimong's hopeful eyes, her heart could not help but move. Those eyes were like warm sunshine, penetrating the haze deep in her heart, making her feel a long-lost warmth.
