Moonshine & Valentine: His Excellency’s First Love (Love Knot) - Chapter 9

Although I don’t know what it is, Pippi’s vigilance is still very high: “Excuse me, will I get a heart attack after taking it for a long time?”

“No.” Helan Jingting removed the beads from her palms and said flatly, “Although this thing is worthless, it has always followed me. If you don’t want it anymore, don’t throw it away and give it back to me. . Okay?”

“Okay.” Pippi put his hands on his forehead and looked at him steadily. “But, Mr. Helan, why do you have to wear sunglasses? You can see them tomorrow night.”

“Call me Helan Jingting.”

“Helan Jingting, why do you have to wear sunglasses?”

“I don’t need to wear sunglasses.”

“Oh?”

“But I dare not take it down.”

“…Why?” Pippi took the tea and took a sip.

“I’m afraid you will fall in love with me.”

“…What?” His eyes rounded.

Helan Jingting finally said deeply, “Because I am so handsome.”

“Puff—” Pippi sprayed.

Pippi felt that no boy in the world could be as handsome as Jialin. Besides, they have known each other for many years, and their appearance has become less important between her and Jia Lin. Nowadays, someone claims to her that he is handsome, but thinks that this is charm, and Pippi finds it funny.

“Will it?” She wiped her face with a napkin, “You can be very narcissistic, I’m not that idiot.”

“Don’t say that, it is human nature to love beauty.”

He took off his glasses and looked up at her, posing a cool look.

The funny look almost made Pippi laugh.

But she was stunned again soon. Because Helan Jingting was telling the truth. The big truth.

He is so handsome, he actually gives people a suspicion of evil.

Pippi felt that even though Helan wearing sunglasses had clear eyebrows, it only gave a cold and calm impression. Helan, who had taken off his glasses, had dark eyes that were not bottomed, but they were as bright as lacquer. However, looking at Peipi, I felt that compared with ordinary people, Helan Jingting’s eyes seemed to be missing something. The dark pupil is like the morning mist in the distant mountains, unpredictable, and like a pool of spring water, crystal clear. Obviously very mysterious, yet trustworthy. Pippi didn’t know why his eyes could give people two completely different feelings at the same time.

Even if Pippi has never seen a beautiful boy in his life, works in a news agency, and reads the newspaper every day, at least he has seen many pictures of a beautiful boy. Pippi can admire the **** men in Hollywood, the fashionable men in the pictorial, the muscular men in the stadium, the black-bellied men in Japanese TV dramas, the gentle and passionate men in Qiong Yao movies, and even the rough western men in cigarette advertisements. Because no matter how beautiful they are, they have a “human” air.

This is exactly what Helan Jingting lacks. He is beautiful, but the beauty is a little unreal. It’s like Rodin’s sculpture, which was originally used for viewing, but suddenly walking on the street wearing clothes, it was shocking.

I was stunned for a long time, my skin and chin felt a little sour. Besides, for some reason, her heart was beating very fast.

The eyes of the person in front of him turned suddenly, and smiles filled his eyes: “Pippi, accompany me to bask in the moon at night.”

“Uh–”

“Pippi.”

In retrospect, Pippi remembered his mission: “Yes. Can I interview you? Don’t worry, I just want to understand your daily life.”

“You can interview, but you can’t report.” His voice was gentle.

“Our Evening News wants to do an exclusive interview to promote traditional culture. This is a great opportunity for publicity for you and your museum.”

“I don’t like being promoted.”

“It is not to promote you, but to promote traditional culture, to promote your contribution to traditional culture.”

“That’s all the same. No.”

“Never involve your personal privacy–”

“Do not.”

“If it weren’t for me to interview you, someone else would come to interview you. This is a world manipulated by the media, and you cannot escape.”

“I said, I decline to report.”

“Well,” Pippi said, “I interview you, but I don’t report.”

The report can be written by Wei Qingtan.

“Let’s go back.” Helan Jingting said, “Will you take my car?”

“Okay.”

Walking back to the parking lot together, Pippi found another strange phenomenon: Although Helan Jingting didn’t wear glasses, his eyes were always slightly closed like the Buddha of Lu She, and he couldn’t lift the spirit.

When he opened the car door with the remote control key, Pippi finally couldn’t help but ask: “Why are your eyes half-closed all the time? Have your brain been injured?”

Helan let out a sigh of relief, and looked at her helplessly: “Do you think I am a person with a brain injury?”

“Um-hard to say.”

Helan Jingting was about to open the door. Hearing this, he stopped: “Why do you see it?”

“I will correct it. Your brain may not have been injured, but you must not be human.”

He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, Helan Jingting avoided answering: “Get in the car.”

The car was driving on a dark suburban road, passing several open fields.

It’s that station again. Play a sleepy serenade in E flat. This seems to be Helan Jingting’s favorite music, and I never tire of listening.

With nothing to do, Pippi kept drinking soda.

After half an hour, she suddenly pushed Helan Jingting’s arm: “Can you stop the car?”

“what happened?”

“I want to go to the toilet.”

“There will be a gas station in forty minutes—”

“can not wait anymore.”

The car stopped immediately, and Pippi jumped out of the car and looked around: “Where is there a toilet near here?”

“As far as I know, there are farmland around here and no toilets.”

“Then… what should I do?”

“Solved on the spot.” He pointed to a tree in the distance.

“Uh… there?” To reach that tree, you have to cross a long bush, and it’s dark all around.

Pippi was a little frightened, “Will there be snakes?”

“Do you know why there is a “it” in the snake character?”

“do not know.”

“Because’it’ means little snake. In ancient times, there were a lot of snakes in the grass, so the ancient people greeted each other when they met, and they all said’nothing else’?”

“You mean, there are also many snakes in this grass? Little snakes?”

“definitely.”

“Helan Jingting, please come down for a while.” Pippi shook his face.

“Why come down?”

“You have to protect me.”

“why?”

“I protected you, right? Now it’s your turn to protect me.”

“… OK.” The answer was reluctant, and a premise was added at the same time, “If there is a dog, I will run away by myself.”

“I know.”

They took each other into the grass. After a while, Pippi washed his hands with mineral water and walked out together.

The night is quiet.

The mountains are empty and the cold moon is empty.

Pippi let out a sigh of relief and warmed her hands: “Today’s moon is so good, you should have a good sun.”

“That’s right,” Helan Jingting smiled, “Why don’t we just dry it now.”

Pippi said, “I’m drying it now? How do I get it?”

“Get on the roof.”

He climbed into the car quickly and pulled Pippi up again. Then he took off his coat and let Pippi lie on it, lying beside her.

“Is it cold?” he asked.

“Not bad.” Pippi sniffed.

“Put my scarf on.” The scarf wrapped her face.

Looking up at the sky, Helan Jingting’s eyes finally widened slowly, staring indifferently at the full moon in the sky.

“Hey, Helan,” Pippi asked suddenly, “Are you an alien?”

“Am I like an alien?”

“It’s a bit like. I think you are receiving signals from your planet.”

“Well, then, guess what planet I am from. Oh, yes, before asking this question, I have to ask you how many points you scored in the geography exam for the college entrance examination, and can you discuss this with me.”

“…Sixty-one points.”

“In other words, you don’t actually have much knowledge of astronomy.”

“…No. Will you come from the planet Krypton like Superman?”

“Of course not,” he said seriously, “I am not an alien. I have always lived on Earth.”

“But why did you keep your eyelids down just now and open your eyes when you saw the moonlight?”

“Well, this is a very good question. It shows that you have a strong sense of observation.”

“Thank you, can you tell me why?”

“Look, just after boasting that you have a strong power of observation, you gave up observation and asked for answers. This is not good, you have to continue to observe.”

“Then, you have admitted that you are not human.”

“Is there something about me that doesn’t look like a human?”

Pippi sat up, looked at him, thought about it, sighed, and lay down again: “No. But, I haven’t heard of anyone who wants to bask in the moon.”

“Why not?’Moonlight in front of the bed’ isn’t it?”

“That counts?”

“Aren’t people’raising their heads and looking at the moon’?”

“Yes, just continue to fool me.”

“I want to talk about flickering,” Helan Jingting said suddenly, “You count the most flickering newspapers in the world.”

“Why did our newspaper fool you?”

“Come here, get your newspaper out.”

Pippi was not convinced, and took out Zhang from the bag of the C City Evening News published today: “Here.”

The two turned over and spread the newspaper on the roof of the car. Helan Jingting took out the flashlight and took a picture up: “You look good, I’ll read it for you.”

“This is front-page news:’A serial car accident occurred on Highway 2, two deaths and one injury. Public security departments remind citizens to pay attention to traffic safety.’”

“What’s wrong? Don’t car accidents happen every day? This is a true report.”

“Of course it is true. Look here.” He turned a page in the newspaper and pointed to an advertisement: “‘Anshun Insurance, we promise you happiness and safety.’ Did you see the connection between the two?”

“I didn’t see it.” Pippi was very honest.

“It’s okay, come again. Let me slowly enlighten. This is the headline of the supplement:’Sister Hong Kong enters the final battle, and the ten candidates are competing in variety shows.’” Pippi carefully looked at the photos of the ten faces, all of them were beautiful. Beautiful, looks like a fairy.

Helan Jingting flipped through the newspaper and pointed to an advertisement in the last page: “Qianmei Hospital, the first plastic surgery in City C.”

Pippi was suddenly shocked.

“understood?”

“You mean…”

“The newspaper always tells you that the world is not safe and everything will happen. Right? To make yourself safer, what do you want to do? Buy insurance.” After a pause, Helan Jingting said again, “The newspaper is full of celebrities. Photos, right? It tells you that your face should be as perfect as they are. But, do you have such a perfect face? No. What should I do? Buy cosmetics, go to a beauty salon, have plastic surgery.”

Pipi was dumbfounded: “You mean, the news in the newspaper is all conspiracy?”

“Almost. At least in a sense, it is.”

“So… you never read the newspaper?”

“dont see.”

“You never cared about changes in the world?”

“I am concerned, but I don’t have to read the newspaper.”

“Are you from Epicurean?”

“No. I’m in my own way.”

Pippi giggled, seeing a thick cloud ahead, and said: “The moon is gone, let’s go.”

Back at Lushui Villa, Helan Jingting went straight to the bottom of the well to sun the moon. Pippi sat beside him, looking at the round night sky. After a while, seeing Helan Jingting kept silent, she said, “What if it rains at this time?”

Helan Jingting touched the wall of the well and seemed to press a switch. The two huge rocks on the well moved suddenly, and within two seconds the well head was tightly blocked.

Pippi said in shock: “So there is another mechanism here!”

“Yes.”

“too dark!”

Helan Jingting pressed the mechanism again, the boulder moved, and the well opened: “It’s that simple.”

“Where is the mechanism? I’ll try.” Pippi jumped off the couch and touched the wall of the well. Following the direction Helan Jingting pointed out to her, she really touched a shallow hole with a circular **** inside. She pressed it lightly and the boulder closed. Press again and the boulder moves away.

Pippi thought it was fun, so he pressed it countless times. Keep pressing until Helan Jingting is about to faint.

“Have you pressed enough?”

“No. I’ll play it again!”

Pippi pressed it again, this time, the boulder closed but suddenly no longer opened.

The mechanism failed! ! !

Pippi hurriedly pressed the **** a dozen more times, and the two boulders remained motionless.

“Helan, what should I do? The mechanism is broken! Can you fix it?”

“will not.”

“Then do we have to suffocate here?”

“Have you ever watched a movie called “Midnight Ring”?”

“Woo–Helan Jingting, don’t scare me!!”

“The underground is fine, but it’s a bit dark. For me blind, it’s nothing. If you stay here every day, you will slowly get used to it.”

Hearing this, Pippi’s hair straightened up, and he tightly grasped Helan Jingting’s hand: “Please don’t be kidding, get up and fix it. Maybe one of the gears is broken. Just get it done. .”

Her voice was already sobbing.

However, Helan Jingting still lay down comfortably, motionless: “It’s just broken and can’t be repaired.”

“Helan Jingting! Don’t scare me… If you scare me, you are not human!”

In the darkness, the person in front of him “hissed” a laugh.

Hearing this laughter, Pippi almost fainted: “Helan Jingting, you…who are you?”

The voice was very gentle: “You are right, I am not a human being.”

Pippi jumped up suddenly, retreated to the wall of the well, and assumed a defensive posture in the dark: “Nonsense! You are obviously a human being, you! Everything about you is human!”

“I’m really not human.”

“You… you prove it to me.”

“I ask you, how many heartbeats does a person’s heart beat per minute?”

“Seventy times.”

In the darkness, Helan Jingting stretched out a hand, pulled her hand over, and pressed it on her chest.

Like an animal in hibernation, his body temperature is very low, and even has a faint, indescribable chill.

“I counted from one to sixty, exactly one minute.” Helan Jingting said slowly, “One, two, three, four, five, six…”

Pippi was dumbfounded.

Whether it was due to body temperature or fear, Pippi felt that her hand suddenly lost consciousness. Not only perception, but even intelligence is also lost.

three times.

Helan Jingting’s heart beats only three times per minute.
