Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 5
It is a shame to throw up on the bright marble floor.
Pippi had to ran out and vomited into the toilet faintly. At the end of the vomiting, his legs became weak, and it was even difficult to stand up. After resting for a while, she stood by the wall and found Helan Jingting waiting for her outside the door.
Then, he lifted her shaky from the ground: “Can you still go? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“I… Am I bleeding?” Her head kept hanging, painful, and her nosebleed dripped to the floor drop by drop.
He lifted her up sideways, crossed a long corridor with chimes, and went downstairs from the emergency exit.
Pippi raised his head to the sky and saw a bulletin board outside the stairs. A bright light shone on the glass plate.
It says:
“C City Museum this year’s advanced workers…”
She saw Helan Jingting’s name.
Pippi’s heart immediately jumped out of a number of new Chinese style themes: willing to help others, working overtime, conscientious, red and professional…
Seeing that he was dressed plainly, she wanted to say “thrifty”. Helan Jingting walked to the parking lot with her in her arms, opened the back door of a car, and stuffed her in.
She deleted the words “diligence and frugality” from her mind.
The car drove silently at night.
Pippi lay in the back seat for a while, feeling better, sat up, looked outside the car, was suddenly surprised, and asked, “Didn’t you go to the hospital?”
The car is heading outside the city.
“No.” Helan Jingting replied lightly.
“Then where are you going?”
“my home.”
“Your home? Why go to your home?”
“Aren’t you going to interview me?”
“I…I…” Pippi quibbleed, “When did I say I wanted to interview you?”
“Lying is an ability that requires practice.”
Anyone who has read the Interview Wolf’s manual knows that strange men’s homes are definitely not allowed. However, since the thought report he has written for more than three years has not been accepted by the party organization, Pippi believes that strange men and strange advanced workers are There are essential differences.
After a while, Pippi suddenly asked, “Since your eyes can’t see, how do you drive?”
“When did I say that my eyes can’t see?”
“In the morning.”
“In the morning? I haven’t seen you in the morning.”
“Mr. Helan, although you may be well-trained, lie or lie.”
He snorted softly, then smiled silently, “Yes, I have sunblindness. I can’t see it during the day, but I can see it at night.”
Hmm-Pippi was slightly surprised. She felt that if a person could not see anything during the day, they would feel a little bit painful or depressed. But she didn’t hear a trace of loneliness in Helan Jingting’s voice, as if he was born this way, don’t regret it.
“Sun blindness? Is there such a disease in medicine?”
“It’s night blindness reversed.”
“Oh–”
“Do you feel better?” he asked again
“No.”
She stared out the window blankly.
The snow has already stopped. The night is dark, but the sky is dark purple. A round of Suyue in the light, like a lemon suspended in iced tea. The mountains in the distance were filled with white mist, and the branches covered in snow shone with coral-like fluorescence. The car is driving towards the mountainous area outside the city at an unexpected high speed, almost gliding. Guan Pippi was very familiar with the city, as if it were his second body. The center of the city is full of restaurants, bars, dance halls, opera houses, stadiums and various entertainment clubs. It is the center of desire. After crossing over a dozen overpasses and reaching the edge of the city, there were fewer lights and fewer vehicles, and everything quickly became quiet. There is drug trafficking, fighting, robbery, and all kinds of criminal transactions, full of terror.
They walked through a wilderness first, and gradually walked into the ups and downs of the mountain road, one after another, the shadows of trees rushed over like giant beasts, as if they were choosing someone to eat.
Pippi knew that Helan Jingting was leading her to the most expensive residential area in the city: Lushui Villa. There are more than fifty villas distributed in the warm southern foot of a big mountain-the suburbs closest to the city. There are hot springs, ancient pine, forest, and waterfalls on the mountain, and subways, cafes, botanical gardens, and golf courses under the mountain. The so-called transition zone between man and nature, the so-called big hidden in the city and small hidden in the mountains, all refer to this.
The car was climbing fast on the ring road, and Pippi felt dizzy. After a while, it suddenly stopped. Helan Jingting jumped down and opened the door. As soon as Pippi’s feet landed, he saw a cloud of snow covered with swirling thatch.
Helan Jingting’s house is actually a set of old-fashioned courtyards, with vermillion-lacquered gates, raised eaves on the roof, iron horses, wind chimes, and half-rolled bamboo curtains with a gleam of light. Helan Jingting mixed Pippi with one hand, took out the key with the other, and opened an ancient brass lock.
“Squeak–” With a sound, the wooden door slowly opened, and there was a quiet courtyard inside. There is a rockery with plum blossoms on both sides, half buried by snow. Pippi looked up and saw that the sky was four corners, and the roof was full of shaky withered grass. It was unspeakably cold and unspeakable.
Pippi looked around, a little suspicious that he had gone wrong. Entered the living room, but felt that there was nothing wrong.
The decoration of the living room is enough to prove the identity of Helan Jingting collector.
Old-fashioned furniture, the corners are covered with copper. Celadon flower goblets were placed on the red sandalwood table. The calligraphy and ink on the wall are indistinguishable and full of ancient meaning. Clean oak floors, painted with shiny gloss paint. There is only a set of red sofas by the window that is incompatible with the style of the whole room, like imported goods just bought from a mall.
Pippi sat down on the sofa and found that Helan Jingting’s hand had an extra apple in his hands. He sat leisurely on the sofa opposite Pippi, across the rosewood coffee table, and gently peeled the apple with a fruit knife studded with jasper.
Very polite.
He Lan Jingting’s hand trembled suddenly, and a small mouth was cut out by the knife, and blood poured out immediately. Leave a bright red mark on the apple.
He didn’t seem to feel the pain, and continued to concentrate on peeling the apple, his posture was very elegant. Pippi stared at his face, thinking that his appearance was very charming, but wearing sunglasses, he added a chill for no reason, like the president’s bodyguard and the underworld assassin.
The imprint gets deeper and deeper, gradually becoming the size of copper and iron.
“Your hands are bleeding,” Pippi said.
“Ok.”
He looked at the apple, didn’t mind, and cut the **** apple in half with a knife.
The piece that was handed to her had blood stains.
Maybe he didn’t notice it. Pippi didn’t want to be too picky, smiled, put the apple in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
She found that Helan Jingting kept her head down, but paid attention to her.
“Then, Mr. Helan, you are an excellent party member.” Pippi said.
“You’re welcome, just call me Helan Jingting.” He corrected gently.
“Helan… Jing Ting, can I start the interview now?”
“and many more.”
He went to the kitchen and brought a plate and a set of Western-style knives and forks, silver-plated, shimmering with cold.
Pippi was stunned and asked, “Mr. Helan, haven’t you eaten yet?”
It’s nine o’clock now.
“No,” he said.
“What are you going to eat tonight?”
Helan Jingting thought for a while, then suddenly put down his fork and said, “Can I show you a place first?”
“Okay, if you don’t mind, I am going to visit your room! I want to know what the famous collector’s room will look like!” Pippi said with a smile.
“Now you feel better? Don’t want to vomit?” Helan Jingting asked again.
“It’s all right, it’s really a wave.”
“follow me.”
He led her through the Langdu courtyard and out the back door.
In fact, Helan Jingting’s courtyard is at the highest point of the mountain, only a dozen steps away from the top. The courtyard wall went up the mountain, enclosing a large area including the top of the mountain.
There is a small octagonal pavilion on the top of the mountain, and there is a huge stone platform beside the pavilion, surrounded by white marble railings, and down is a steep northern slope.
Walking to the stone platform, Helan Jingting suddenly asked: “Do you like this place?”
“It’s okay, a bit gloomy.” Pippi was shivered by the mountain wind. For no reason, she smelled a faint of danger, and couldn’t help but look at Helan Jingting, her legs shaking involuntarily.
Soon after, she found a well dug in the middle of the stone platform.
Standing by the well and looking down, there is no water and it is not very deep. The wall of the well is made of smooth marble, small on the top, but spacious on the bottom. The cold moonlight shone straight down, and the bottom of the well was very bright.
There was nothing inside, only a recliner.
Helan Jingting beside him still exudes the breath of deep mountain wood fern.
Glancing at her faintly, he said softly: “Pippi, tonight, would you like to accompany me to bask in the moon?”
The voice was full of bewitching, and he didn’t know when he had put his hand on her waist.
With a light push, Pippi fell off.
