The end of the world begins with failing an exam

Chapter 535 Small Bridge and Flowing Water·Fuyue Tower
Chen Jing felt that he had never been so speechless in his life.

Although he is not the kind of person who has a lot of image baggage, it is really unbearable to be stared at by others along the way. Coupled with the square heads scolded by those naughty kids, it is like the last thing that breaks the camel's back. straw.

Simply put, he broke the defense.

Fortunately, Qiao Youning is good at comforting people.

I don’t know whether he learned it from Grandma Hong, or whether it was the experience gained from working part-time in the kindergarten afternoon care class, but Chen Jing was coaxed into becoming confident again with just a few words.

Soon.

Chen Jing and Qiao Youning went ashore at Qishanwu.

This is the closest place to the fireworks show and the first choice for out-of-towners to spend the night.

As soon as Chen Jinggang landed on the shore, he was shocked by the crowd of people on the shore. Did he think that these people didn't sleep at night?
At a glance.

The whole street was crowded with passers-by.

"There are a lot of people in this place, be careful not to get lost..." Qiao Youning was already used to this, so she naturally took Chen Jing's hand and squeezed into the crowd, "I booked a private room at Fuyue Tower... Let's go You can also have late-night snacks while watching performances there..."

Chen Jing was also infected by the lively atmosphere at this moment.

While being led by Qiao Youning as he shuttled through the crowd, he couldn't help but turn his head and look left and right. Everything he looked at felt new... It was as if he had really arrived at an ancient night market at this moment, and the street vendors were selling strangely colored food. Daliwan, a singing artist who set up a stage not far away was singing "I dedicate my youth to the Buddha's Mother" loudly.

When passing a corner, Chen Jing saw a sideshow that was unimaginable to him...a broken steel plate in his chest.

"Are all the people in Jizhou City so good at doing things..." Chen Jing was shocked by the sound of banging iron and stopped in his tracks. He thought to himself that if this skill returned to the world and became an internet celebrity, he would be able to destroy Land Rover in one day. The pieces are all collected!
In places like the outer city, well-dressed young men are not uncommon, but a square-headed young man like Chen Jing is rare to see. It is no exaggeration to describe him as standing out from the crowd.

In addition, the jade plaque on his waist was engraved with the temple's mark, so among the many onlookers, Chen Jing and Qiao Youning were as dazzling as they could be.

The family members of the entertainers ran over to Chen Jing as soon as they saw him, holding a tray high. At the same time, they kept saying all kinds of auspicious words, bowing and clasping fists in salute, which made Chen Jing subconsciously To take money out of pocket.

But in an instant, Chen Jing's movement of taking out money suddenly froze.

He suddenly realized that the common currency in Jizhou City was gold and silver copper plates ordered by the temple, and all previous purchases were paid for by Rich Po Qiao...

"Take it, I will reward you."

Just listen to the clang.

There was a heavy piece of silver in the man's tray.

Without waiting for the other party to thank her profusely and express her intention to do more hard work for her eldest brother, Qiao Youning dragged Chen Jing out of the crowd and left, still smiling.

"The fireworks show hasn't reached its climax yet. We have just enough time to rush there, but we don't dare to delay it any longer!"

"Sister Qiao just has a lot of money..." Chen Jing couldn't help but sigh, "If you hadn't paid for me just now, I would have had to find a crack in the ground to get in."

While the two were chatting, they passed another street corner.

It was different from the alleyways Chen Jing had seen before.

The alleyway at the corner was particularly dark, with only a few pink lanterns hanging high.

No one could be seen in the alleyway.

Only the sounds of some men and women playing around could be vaguely heard.

"This place..." Chen Jing paused for a moment and smelled the extremely thin scent of rouge and gouache in the air. He always felt an indescribable feeling, as if he had seen similar scenes in some film and television works... Yes, it seems familiar!
“What’s so interesting about this place!”

Qiao Youning felt that it was a sin to let Chen Jing stay here for a second longer, so she hurriedly grabbed his hand and continued walking forward.

"What's the matter...I'm not a child anymore..." Chen Jing was immediately amused by her reaction, "Isn't this just a red light street like Kabukicho..."

Hearing Chen Jing say that she was not a child, Qiao Youning was startled, then stopped and looked back at him.

"Well... you are indeed not a child anymore..." Qiao Youning said calmly, with a hint of amusement in her eyes, "How about I wait here and go in to learn more?"

"Forget it, forget it." Chen Jing shook his head hurriedly, "I'm not interested in this place. Maybe Li Mobai likes it. Let him come here to apply for a card next time..."

The two of them chatted happily all the way, and soon they arrived at Fuyue Tower, which was closest to the fireworks show.

This antique building is a rare tall building in the outer city.

Its height is at least about 150 meters.

It looks different from Chen Jing from a distance.

Fuyue Tower is not a stand-alone building. There are some shorter pavilions and pavilions around it, and the main building is connected to them.The rows of buildings are as graceful as the arc of a waterfall, and the totems outlined by the cornices and corners all have elements of the temple Buddha.

Chen Jing was led by Qiao Youning into the Fuyue Tower when the waiter shouted that a distinguished visitor from the temple had arrived.

before entering the door.

Chen Jing could still see the noisy scene in Fuyue Tower. Amidst the sounds of people urging people to drink, there would be a few songs sung by pretty beauties from time to time. But when they entered... everything was silent for a while. The drop of a needle could be heard, and even the drunken guests subconsciously became quiet.

In this place in the outer city, those who can step into Fuyue Tower to spend money are all the best.

Therefore, compared to ordinary residents, the guests in Fuyue Tower have a deeper understanding of the people who come out of the temple, and they are also more aware of the horror of the temple...

This moment was also a rare moment of silence for Chen Jing.

At least no one dared to stare at his square head casually anymore.

Come to the top floor private room.

Chen Jing and Qiao Youning stood side by side on the viewing platform.

He first glanced at the fireworks by the river, and then lowered his head to look at the surging flow of people on the street. He suddenly had the feeling of being overwhelmed by the heights and seeing the small mountains... Of course, in other words, he also felt To the power of money.

The viewing angle is perfect and the dining environment is perfect.

It’s still money well spent!

"A Jing, how are you playing today? Are you happy?" Qiao Youning looked at Chen Jing beside her with eager eyes. Her bright eyes were full of expectation, but also hid a trace of uneasiness, as if she was afraid that the answer she got would be no. .

"Of course I'm happy." Chen Jing supported the railing beside the observation deck with his hands and smiled without looking back. "Although there are too many people on the road, I think it's quite fun and the food is delicious..."

"Just be happy. I'll let you try Fuyuelou's specialties later. You'll definitely like it!"

Qiao Youning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to make Chen Jing have a good opinion of Ji Zhou made her feel inexplicably satisfied. It was like having an outsider fall in love with her hometown. The feeling was very subtle.

"This restaurant is the place where I check in every time I come to the outer city. I still have their membership card. I'll take you there soon..."

"Young Ning."

Hearing Chen Jing's sudden change of tone, Qiao Youning couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously began to wonder if she had said the wrong thing to annoy him.

"Although on such a happy day, I shouldn't talk about unpleasant topics, but I really can't help it... You Ning, don't blame me for ruining the atmosphere."

"It's okay, just tell me." Qiao Youning smiled.

"Actually, I suspected from the beginning that once the Buddha Mother leaves the seal and comes to the world, it will definitely have an impact on direct dependents like you, but I don't know how big the impact will be... Can you tell me?"

Chen Jing held the railing with his hands and slowly looked back.

And right now.

Accompanied by a loud noise and cheers from countless passers-by, another bright and dazzling fireworks shot straight into the sky.

"Thousands of flowers bloom on an east wind night, and the trees blow down, and the stars are like rain... I feel shocked every time I stand here to watch the fireworks. It seems that I never get tired of watching them no matter how many times."

It was rare for Qiao Youning to take her eyes away from Chen Jing, her beautiful eyes reflecting the fireworks in the sky.

When the youthful beauty completely disappeared in her eyes at that moment, leaving only the wisps of green smoke hanging in the air, she lowered her head and looked at Chen Jing, and said playfully with her hands behind her back.

"Look at the fireworks, look at what I'm doing, I'm not as good as the fireworks!"

Seeing that she was unwilling to answer his question, Chen Jing immediately guessed the answer.

"The fireworks are not as beautiful as you."

Chen Jing turned back and looked in the direction of the temple, with golden light suddenly appearing in his clear eyes.

"Really?" Qiao Youning blinked and asked.

"Ah."

Chen Jing withdrew his gaze and did not talk about the Buddha's mother anymore.

"It's far worse than you."
