Hades girl is by my side

Chapter 159: Encounters are reunions after a long separation

Regarding the city of Shencheng, Tang Yu, who grew up here, can be said to know everything about it.

Therefore, during the chat with Uncle Chang, Tang Yu was able to pick up the conversation smoothly when the two talked about the big and small things that had happened in Shencheng in the past few months.

There are many things that he has known for a long time, such as the fire in the Red Star Hotel and its disappearance.

The Red Star Hotel is known as a thousand-year-old hotel and is a product that has witnessed the changes of Shencheng's times.

It is indeed a pity that it has disappeared now.

"The owners of the Red Star Hotel are all short-lived. I hope this generation of owners can escape the disaster after the hotel quits."

Uncle Chang lamented that he was an old friend of the previous owner of the Red Star Hotel, but it was a pity that he passed away early.

"Probably not. Since the hotel caught fire, he no longer wanted to run the catering industry, so he switched to opening an online store. Now he is an online store owner, mainly selling the antique clothing and accessories he likes, which looks pretty good. "

"Tang Yu, are you familiar with him? You even know this kind of thing."

Chang Wu asked curiously from the side, Tang Yu just shook his head slightly.

"It's not a familiarity, just met twice."

Tang Yu didn't say the rest. Of course he wouldn't say that Zhang Buju escaped because of himself.

But essentially, it was because of the existence of the third watch that the date of his death that was originally supposed to be in the book of life and death was broken.

Naturally, Zhang Buju can no longer remember the third update.

What confused Tang Yu was that Chang Wu had also been to the Red Star Hotel. Although he was forced to do so, this memory seemed to have disappeared.

Tang Yu subconsciously took out his phone and took a look. Sure enough, he could no longer see Zhang Buju's WeChat friends.

It was as if the two of them had never added WeChat.

Zhang Buju probably no longer recognizes Tang Yu.

Tang Yu didn't have any emotional fluctuations in his heart. After all, to him, Zhang Buju was not even a friend.

He just sighed a little in his heart. The events he had experienced with San Geng seemed to be gradually withdrawing from his life.

"Tang Yu, go to my room. I'll show you the photo album I took recently and dazzle you."

"It's not like I don't know what you are like in person. No matter how good the photo is, I won't admit that it's yours."

"You fart, you haven't retouched it at all, right? Who takes photos these days without retouching it?"

Tang Yu looked at Uncle Chang on the side and expressed no objection to this.

The men's minds were unified at this moment.

Tang Yu stood up helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, feeling very resistant to what he was about to experience next.

Chang Wu's room is not big, at least compared to most girls of this age.

She is tall and has a good appearance. As long as she is determined to pursue a high-quality life, she can carve out a way out of the gray industry in the modeling industry.

But she is not that kind of girl, Tang Yu knows this, and Chang Wu's brother Chang Ge also knows this.

So when Chang Wu said that she was going to be a model, although Chang Ge expressed her anxiety to Tang Yu in private, she still expressed her unconditional support for Chang Wu.

Tang Yu always felt that he and Chang Ge were equal in identity. He was Chang Wu's other brother.

Tang Yu recalled that the last time he entered Chang Wu's room was about half a year ago, and the furnishings here had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Those heavy wardrobes were moved out of the room, leaving only a white and green one leaning against the wall, saving a lot of space.

There are several potted plants on the windowsill. They are all plants that can be seen every day and grow towards the sun.

The desk in the room was also moved away and replaced by a set of smaller-looking office desks and chairs, which also saves space.

There are portraits hanging on the wall, and the girl in the picture is Chang Wu.

She is sexy and beautiful and looks like a female star.

Chang Wu never told Tang Yu that she wanted to be a female star, not even a model.

Tang Yu doesn't think everyone should have a goal in life, after all, he doesn't have one.

In other words, he has no chance to achieve his goal.

"Your room looks much cleaner."

Tang Yu sat by the bed and said to Chang Wu who was looking for a photo album in the small cabinet.

"You mean it's not like a woman's room?"

"I've never been to other women's rooms, how do I know?"

"You'd better not have been."

Chang Wu rummaged around in the bedside table without raising his head.

"So what if I've been there?"

Tang Yu showed no signs of weakness and continued to argue.

Chang Wu stood up with the photo album in hand, his eyes burning as he looked at Tang Yu.

"Then I'll send you to see the King of Hades."

For a moment, Tang Yu felt a special kind of coldness from Chang Wu.

This kind of coldness is still fresh in his memory and unforgettable.

See the King of Hell, is there such a good thing in the world?
"If that's the case, I can't ask for more."

Tang Yu's voice was very soft when he answered. When he looked at Chang Wu, his face had lost a lot of vigor.

There was sincerity and even hope in his words.

Chang Wu did not open the photo album in her hand. She just suddenly realized that Tang Yu might not be interested in these.

"Tang Yu, you seem to have changed."

"Changed? What changed."

"I can't tell you, but the novels you wrote before have never had a single female protagonist. Even those two-dimensional novels that look nerdy and cannot be understood by most people still have many female characters. Well, they have different personalities and appearances."

"Have you read the novels I wrote before? Or...have you read the novels I'm writing now?"

"I have read through what I wrote before, but now I have read everything I wrote."

Tang Yu opened his mouth slightly to say something, but closed his mouth again.

The topic of his own works is not something Tang Yu is willing to talk about in casual chats.

"Aren't you asking me to see your photos? Open them and let me see them? Maybe there are ones I like."

"You can take any photo you like, and I'll give you a photo frame for free."

"Good guy, you are quite generous."

Tang Yu shook his head, pursed his lips and chuckled lightly.

He took the photo album from Chang Wu, and then started to point very venomously at his long-time friend.

The atmosphere in the room also relaxed a lot with Tang Yu's change in attitude, and soon there was noise.

The two old men from the Chang family quietly approached the door, looking sneaky and guilty, which was really funny.

Last night, Chang Wu solemnly started a video chat with his brother in front of his parents, so that the family of four gathered together.

"I like Tang Yu. I want to fall in love with Tang Yu. I will not marry him unless I marry him in the future."

The cause of the matter was that an old friend of Uncle Chang learned that his daughter was in her prime and wanted to let his son get to know Chang Wu.

The parents of the Chang family knew Tang Yu very well. After all, they had seen Tang Yu since childhood and knew Tang Yu's character thoroughly.

Moreover, Tang Yu's life experience was miserable after all, so his sympathy points increased a lot.

In terms of living conditions, Tang Yu's family owns a building, and he has retired early in his life.

So this invitation to Tang Yu to have dinner at home during the winter solstice was a conclusion reached after deliberation among all members of the Chang family.

For the Chang family's parents, as long as they invite Tang Yu to their home and give them a little help, their daughter's love will blossom.

After all, that was Tang Yu. How could that little guy know a girl who was better than his own daughter...

"It's fun to talk and laugh. It seems that our family dance is quite good. If you ask me, it's better to let Tang Yu stay at home tonight..."

"Look at what you old woman said, it's really..."

"It's just that you, an old man, still have feudal dross left in your mind, and I didn't say anything. Even if Tang Yu lives at home, he will definitely live in Chang Ge's house. What are you thinking, old guy?"

"forget it."

Tang Yu and Chang Wu were bickering in the room, while Chang's parents eavesdropped outside the door.In addition, the meal time in the north is relatively early, so by the time night falls, Aunt Chang has already put all the food on the table.

Looking at the table of dishes, Tang Yu was obviously flattered.

"Auntie, just make some dumplings during the Winter Solstice. There's no need to make it so grand..."

"Harm, what's the big deal? Tang Yu is very important to our family, more important than my own uncle."

Aunt Chang was talking and laughing, and went to the kitchen to serve dumplings. Chang Wu went over to help.

Tang Yu originally wanted to help, but was stopped by Uncle Chang.

"I said Tang Yu, I have something to tell you, come on, you sit first."

Uncle Chang pulled Tang Yu to sit next to him; the relationship between the two seemed harmonious and familiar.

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, I just care about you. You see, your parents passed away very early. You live alone. Although you have no worries about food and clothing, you must be quite lonely, right?"

"It's okay, you'll be fine once you get used to it. And I'm an adult in my 20s. After all, I'm not a child. I still have the most basic ability to take care of myself." "That's not what I want to say. ...This is it..."

Uncle Chang pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his tone hesitant, not knowing where to start.

Tang Yu didn't know why, but the dazzling array of dishes on the table really made him feel like he hadn't seen it for a long time.

When he eats by himself at home, he usually just stir-fries something to fool around with. It's been a long time since he's eaten so richly.

"By the way, Tang Yu, are you drinking now?"

"No, uncle, I'm still the same as before, a non-smoker and a non-drinker."

"Hey, that's pretty good, what a good man."

"No, I feel ashamed that I can't have two drinks with my uncle."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. As long as you treat me better in the future, I don't care if you can drink with me or something."

"what?"

The expression on Tang Yu's face was very exciting, and he looked confused.

Aunt Chang and Chang Wu brought the dumplings over, and the dishes were considered complete.

"Okay, let's eat."

Aunt Chang's face was as bright as a smile, and she kept urging Tang Yu to quickly pick up the food.

Tang Yu nodded repeatedly. When he picked up his chopsticks, he didn't know which dish to pick first.

The dining table is basically filled with delicacies that are common in the north, and this is basically what you get during the Chinese New Year.

"Chang Wu, you are a bit discerning, help Tang Yu pick up the food."

Aunt Chang pushed Chang Wu with her elbow, and Chang Wu said numbly twice after realizing it.

"It's okay, I can reach it."

Although he said this, Tang Yu still picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs that was closest to him.

"How's it going, Tang Yu, is Auntie's craftsmanship still to your liking?"

"It's not the first time I've eaten the food cooked by my aunt...it's delicious, much better than what I cook myself."

"If you want to make this sweet and sour pork ribs well, you have to consider the neutrality and ratio of sweet and sour. Just like there are sour and sweet in life, you can live a delicious life."

"Auntie is right."

Tang Yu echoed with a smile, always feeling that the atmosphere today was a bit strange.

One thing is that he has been playing in the Chang family since he was a child, and he is very familiar with this place. He should not even feel restrained.

But today's Chang family members were too friendly, which always made Tang Yu feel on pins and needles, and wanted to finish eating early and run away quickly.

But now that he is here, it will be difficult to leave.

"Tang Yu, what do you think of our home dance?"

Aunt Chang had a kind expression on her face and her tone was particularly patient.

Tang Yu glanced at Chang Wu who was standing aside and couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't think so."

It was just a joke, Chang Wu immediately started beating Tang Yu in anger.

"I mean, do you have that kind of interest in Chang Wu? It's like being a boyfriend and girlfriend."

"..."

Tang Yu couldn't finish his words, and looked at Chang Wu again with profound meaning.

"Auntie, you watched me grow up. I am similar to Chang Ge. I have always regarded Chang Wu as my younger sister. I never thought of such a thing..."

"What about falling in love? What do you think of our family dance?"

Uncle Chang took a sip of wine beside him and did not speak.

Aunt Chang's tone was still very patient. She had no other ideas. She just felt that Tang Yu and Chang Wu were actually a good match.

They grew up together and know each other very well. They are childhood sweethearts who like to fight, and they are just like a pair of happy enemies.

Tang Yu's eyes rested on a plate of dumplings in the center of the dining table. The dumplings were still steaming.

Today is the winter solstice, and he was invited.

He was familiar with this family, and he knew that these people meant no harm.

"Uncle and aunt, Chang Wu and I are just brother and sister, and this will only be the case in the future. I don't have that kind of thought about her. If you called me here today because you want to bring me together with Chang Wu, then I can only say Sorry."

He stood up from his seat and bowed to the three people present.

"Tang Yu, you are..."

Uncle Chang put down his wine glass and quickly asked Tang Yu to sit down again.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you next time."

Tang Yu smiled and said goodbye to a few people before leaving.

"Tang Yu, your uncle and I have no other intentions. No matter what, we will leave after dinner..."

"Mom, let him go."

Chang Wu glanced aside and spoke softly.

Tang Yu listened with infinite emotion in his heart.

He walked to the entrance, changed his shoes, took his clothes and went out, like a rat running across the street in a panic.

Tang Yu knew that his behavior was very rude, but if he continued to eat this meal, he would not be the only one who would feel uncomfortable.

The weather was very cold, so he wrapped the long black down jacket tightly around him, walked out of the community, and walked on the winter street.

The warm yellow streetlight illuminated the way ahead for him, but he didn't know where he should go.

Tang Yu was walking aimlessly on the street when the phone suddenly rang.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hey, is this Mr. Tang Yu? This is the Dingsheng Hotel. A lady has invited you to have dinner here. She has already ordered all the dishes."

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Dingsheng Hotel is a real five-star hotel in Shencheng. It is located in the most prosperous place in the city center. Tang Yu has never eaten there. After all, he feels that the consumption level there is not something he can afford.

I don’t know what Zhai Beimeng is thinking. After all, except for her, no woman would treat her to dinner in a five-star hotel.

"Please help me tell her that I won't go."

"But we have already served the food, and she said that if you don't come, she won't pay the bill because she doesn't have any money."

Good guy, Zhai Beimeng could actually be reduced to eating the King's meal, which Tang Yu didn't expect.

But Tang Yu didn't know whether this was a pretense to deceive himself into the past.

In fact, he has not contacted Zhai Beimeng for a while. Zhai Beimeng took the initiative to express his kindness to Tang Yu several times. However, after the Golden Alliance Leader incident made Tang Yu the target of public criticism, Zhai Beimeng may have blamed himself and felt that it was because of himself that Tang Yu once again became the target of public criticism. I stopped updating, so I stopped bothering him later.

Take advantage of the winter solstice to meet with yourself and explain things clearly...

It's indeed a pretty good idea.

It's just that Tang Yu is really not in the mood to deal with Zhai Beimeng anymore. He doesn't want to think about anything but to cool down in the cold wind outside.

"If she really has no money to pay the bill, you can call the police."

After Tang Yu finished speaking and was about to hang up the phone, the hotel staff spoke again.

"By the way, this late-night lady also said that when you come here later, you can bring her some roasted chestnuts with sugar. But if you don't come, I can only call the police now."

"Wait...what lady did you just say? What did she say her name was?"

"Midnight, this is the name she told me, and she told us your phone number after the food was served. If we knew that she wouldn't pay, we wouldn't have served the food first..."

"Help me keep her, I'll be there right away! No matter what she orders, I have money and I can afford it. Don't worry, you must help me keep her!"

Tang Yu's face turned red, and his voice sounded urgent and anxious due to nervousness.

"Okay, then please come to Box [-] of the Phoenix Hall on the first floor later. She has already eaten there..."

"I will go, I will definitely go. Find someone to watch her and don't let her leave!"

"We would have done it even if you didn't tell us."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yu stood on the road in a daze for a moment.

His mind went blank, and many emotions were intertwined in his mind at this moment.

The cold wind blew against his cheek.

Light snow suddenly began to fall in the sky. Just as the weather forecast said, the first snow this winter finally arrived belatedly on the winter solstice.

Tang Yu's eyes were red, his hand holding the phone in the snow kept shaking, and tears gradually filled his face.

That name that made his heart tremble, he finally heard it from someone else's mouth again.

Midnight exists, she has always existed.

During those times when he resumed his single life, he never forgot for a moment the girl from the King of Hell who had been by his side.

A brief separation is for a better encounter.

All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence.
