Chapter 926 Thanks

After leaving Nara, Russell was calm all the way, just staring out the window.

Huai Shi knew that he felt uncomfortable, but she never said anything. Even if he occasionally made excessive demands, such as eating eel rice in the wilderness, she would hold her nose and handle it for him.

But he could feel that beneath this man's calm appearance, there was sadness surging like a sea tide...

"Don't be sad." Huai Shi comforted: "There are always regrets."

"It's nothing, I'm not sad."

Russell looked up and showed a haggard smile: "Look at me so happy."

Huai Shi shook his head and sighed, and stopped talking.

He didn't expect that the death of his old friend would hit him so hard.

Maybe, even a guy as irritating as Russell has a soft spot deep inside his heart?

He stepped on the accelerator and continued forward.

"Hey, winter is here."

Russell stared at the snowflakes outside the car window and murmured softly: "It would be great if I could ski."

In the driver's seat, Huai Shi paused for a moment, said nothing, and turned right ahead to the ski resort.

never mind.

Just relax with him.

Four hours later, Russell got off the sled contentedly, as if reminiscing about the past and feeling somewhat comforted.

Just when he lowered his eyes, he still lamented: "It's so cold, it would be nice if I had a kaiseki meal."

An hour later, after making a reservation through the identity of Huaishi Hell Chef Demon, the extremely fine kaiseki cuisine at Yingzhou Border Restaurant opened the door to the distinguished Mr. Russell.

"There is such a good wine."

Russell stood in front of the counter, his movements stagnant, as if he was immersed in memories: "At the beginning, everyone..."

Huai Shi gritted his teeth and took out his credit card.

After drinking and eating, Russell finally showed a slight smile and said gratefully to Huaishi, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, no trouble."

Huai Shi covered her wallet and forced out a smile: "It's just a handy job, don't worry about it."

"How about taking a hot spring bath together after eating?" Russell suggested happily: "It seems a bit far, will it bother you?"

The tatami under Huaishi's feet shattered silently.

"No...it's okay..."

He lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Finally, he slowly raised his head again and smiled: "What hot spring do you want to soak in?"

"The hot springs in Iwami seem to be good. Hakone is also very good. It's really hard to choose... But when I mention hot springs, I think of Atami Hot Spring, which Yoko mentioned when we were dating."

Russell stared at the night with a longing expression: "How great would it be if I had the opportunity to go there and take a look?"

Three hours later, Russell hummed a song and soaked in the hot spring.

He picked up the sake cup and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Feeling emotional.

"If a beautiful blonde could caress my heart, it would definitely be the ultimate happiness on earth, right?"

After saying that, he glanced beside him without any trace.

Huai Shi next to him was smoking a cigarette and turned a deaf ear. He just raised his hand and flicked the ashes into Russell's pool.

Russell coughed twice and said again: "If there is a beauty who caress my heart..."

"Speaking of which, there is something strange."

Huaishi smoked a cigarette, looked down at her phone, and suddenly said: "I just discovered that during the day, someone suddenly booked the highest-end escort service at the medical department in Dambo for a whole year, and even hung up my bill. No, Do you know if you have any clue?"

Russell didn't seem to hear, he just stared at the moonlight and sighed.

"Life is too short, just like this fallen cherry blossom... One period of glory and one cup of wine, but I don't know when old friends will meet again, and I don't know who can understand my sorrow..."

boom!

The alchemy bomb exploded in the hot spring, and hot steam spewed out from the broken pipe, blocking Russell's face and pushing the second half of the words back into his throat.

Water vapor rises and falls like heavy rain.

Russell still maintained his posture of raising a glass to the bright moon, with his messy white hair sticking to his face, looking extremely embarrassed.

But when he lowered his head, he couldn't hide his sadness.

He raised his hand and wiped away the tears from the corner of his mouth: "The passing of an old friend made me so lost in a moment. I'm sorry, Huai Shi, I made you laugh..."

"You've had enough!"

Huai Shi was furious, pulled out a gun, pointed it at his old face and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

In the end, even the Lord of the Flies couldn't pierce this old bastard's face.

Fortunately, I thought he was sad and wanted to comfort him. But if Yamashita hadn't sent him a message, he might have been confused and played with this old bastard until next week!

"Are you human, Russell!"

Huai Shi's eyes widened and she roared: "I'm so worried about you!"

"Oh, isn't this flattering?"

Russell seemed moved and smiled, then took off the bullet from his face: "Seeing students caring about themselves, no matter who they are, they will want to immerse themselves in it..."

You have the fucking nerve to tell me about immersion!

Huai Shi laughed angrily, "I will arrange a private seat at the bottom of the river for you! I will also give you a cement bucket! I guarantee you will be immersed to the end!"

He didn't feel bad about the money.

Okay, it still hurts, after all, he is used to picking things... But even if he takes the best sake in Yingzhou and takes a bath every day, he can't spend a drop of Danba's revenue.

But the problem is that for a moment... well, for a long time, Huai Shi actually believed that this old bastard would be sad!

He even really believed that the old lady Tai Zi was dead.

As a result, this episode was really a seasoned drama with great acting skills, making me, a young idol, stunned for a moment!

Huai Shi felt as if a red heart had shattered into pieces.

These old bastards are having too much drama, I want to go back to Damba!

"Why do you old guys have so many tricks?" He asked angrily: "Can't you be more serious? Be more upright and speak properly!"

Russell shrugged helplessly, thought for a moment, and answered seriously: "Because all upright people are dead, Huai Shi."

Such low words made Huai Shi freeze on the spot.

In the sudden silence, the old man raised his hand, pushed back the water droplets on his face and the messy white hair, raised his head and laughed:

"Isn't it like this? A pair of knights with integrity like Orton and Gerald, a stubborn person like Ying Fangzhou, a determined and fearless person like Mu Lian...

Those glorious, beautiful and admirable people have all passed away with the Utopia.

Men like Woodman and Mathers who lost hope fell into hell. With hatred in their hearts, those who have lost everything, like Perun, go to the border... What is left that can be left behind? "

He stared at the bright moon in the sky and said to himself: "Preparatory items like me that will never be used in a lifetime, otakus like the old man who stay in the library all day, and people like Tong Ji who have never belonged to the Utopia. Bystanders, poor people like Yoko who don’t know where to go... who are we?"

"Look, Huaishi."

He spread his arms and smiled self-deprecatingly: "This is what we are facing now, an era that no longer exists, a genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven that has long been fragmented -"

Sophora japonica poems, speechless.

"So, don't be disappointed. The ivory tower doesn't represent the Republic, and neither can I, because that's not what it's all about, and that's not what it's worth."

Russell turned back and smiled at the students behind him: "If I have any achievements worth showing to them, treasures and chips worth bragging about, I will only have an illusory future."

He said solemnly:

"——You and the future you represent."

Looking at him with such eyes, Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh helplessly and raised his hands in surrender.

"Okay, I admit defeat."

He looked away, "You old guy is really capable of talking about anything... Can we stop talking about this? It's so embarrassing!"

"Haha, this is what the teacher expects from you, Huaishi, work hard."

Russell stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, at least these words are not lying to you, and..."

He paused and told him seriously: "Thank you for the wine."

After saying that, leaving the stunned Huai Shi in place, he picked up his bath basket, hummed a vague tune, and turned around to leave.

It took a long time for Huai Shi to react.

Russell is actually thanking himself?

incredible……

Then, he noticed the bombed hot spring in front of him, the siren sounding in the distance, the screaming hot spring waiter in the corner, and... the gun in his hand?

"No, this, please listen to my explanation."

Huai Shi was dumbfounded. She raised her hand and subconsciously wanted to find Russell, only to find that the old bastard had disappeared long ago!

I just felt my eyes go dark.

Eight hours later, on the other side of Yingzhou, Huaishi surprisingly experienced the same sadness as Mrs. Yangzi.

Human souls are connected.

Thinking of this, Huaishi couldn't help but burst into tears.

Russell, fuck you...

The next day, early morning.

After a good sleep, the radiant Russell enjoyed the breakfast in the soup restaurant and looked sympathetically at Huai Shi across the table: "You look so bad, young people, please pay attention to your health and don't stay up late all the time, because you will still have to stay up late in the future." long……"

"Who do you think caused this!"

Huai Shi slapped the table in grief and anger, "I came back from the police station at four in the morning. Do you know how embarrassed I was when I explained to the people at Luming Hall that I am Huai Shi, the Huai Shi from Danbo!"

"Don't worry, no one will laugh at you. No, it should be said that the people at Luming Hall may also be surprised."

Russell calmly held the rice bowl and said casually: "It's rare to have law-abiding people like you, Huai Shi. After most of the sublimated people did something, they either climbed over the wall and escaped, or they violently resisted the law. It's a little bit... When people of high status meet thieves and police officers, they all look like dicks... Occasionally when they meet a big shot like you who is honest and cooperative, they all want to burn incense, why would they bring something like this to embarrass you."

With that said, he raised his hand and ordered breakfast for Huai Shi.

"Okay, after eating, you can get in the car and rest. I will drive today." Russell said, "If we take a shortcut, we should arrive in the evening."

He put down his chopsticks and smiled: "It will be quick this time."

"Yingzhou?" Huaishi asked.

"No."

Russell shook his head, "Outside Yingzhou."

It only took half an hour for Russell to drive to the beach with Huai Shi.

Waiting for them in front of the private berth in the port was a huge and somewhat jaw-dropping yacht.

The three-story pure white yacht is also printed with the LOGO of the Ivory Tower, and the more than 60-meter-long hull looks like a giant among the yachts in the port.

The deck is spacious enough for a PATTY, and there is even a helicopter landing pad at the end.

"The total length is sixty-two meters, the draft is seven meters, the internal facilities are top-notch configurations from the Silver Monument, dual source power and electric power, and the monster-level engine produced by the Cavendish Workshop can allow it to reach a speed of ninety knots , enough for you to throw anyone who wants to race with you far away on the sea... The order was placed two months ago and was just delivered the day before yesterday, so I just had someone drive it here."

Russell walked in front, took the key from the hands of those waiting on the shore, tossed it in his hand, and looked back at Huai Shi: "How is it? How do you feel?"

Seeing his ugly face showing off his wealth, Huai Shi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Why don't you do this if you have some money?"

"not me."

Russell raised his hand, threw the key over and told him: "This belongs to you, Huaishi."
