The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1240 Definitely next time

"Tap-tap-tap-"

The dice soon stopped, and two sixes came up heads up.

Twelve o'clock, which represents luck in the game.

"Wow!"

"Won!"

"It's really a miracle!"

"Yuanyuan is amazing!"

As soon as Gao Yang entered the room, a burst of cheers broke out outside the door.

In the bedroom, there was a warm light on the desk. Under the desk lamp, Suzaku was wearing home pajamas, gray glasses, and bangs on her forehead.

She was spinning the pen in one hand and holding the mug in the other, thinking hard about the information on the table.

There is a blackboard hanging on the wall in front of the desk, which is covered with various photos and clues. At first glance, one might think that Suzaku is a detective looking for a serial murderer.

When Suzaku heard the door open, he didn't look back: "You guys can play, I won't participate tonight..."

"Xia Li." Gao Yang said.

Suzaku was stunned, put down his pen and mug, and took off his glasses.

She took a deep breath, stood up, turned around, and looked at Gao Yang seriously.

Under the dim light, the young man looked thin, melancholy, and dusty, as if he was not home anywhere and was about to leave at any time.

Suzaku pretended to be hurt and smiled: "I thought you would come to me as soon as you woke up, but I didn't expect you would come last."

Gao Yang smiled faintly, "I'll see the most important person last."

"Glib, looks like he's recovering well." Suzaku stepped forward, opened his arms, and gently hugged Gao Yang.

"Gao Yang, welcome back, I'm happy to see you."

"Me too." Gao Yang said.

Suzaku let go of Gao Yang, took a step back, and looked at him carefully, "I feel like you have changed a bit."

Gao Yang was noncommittal and looked directly at Suzaku: "You have changed too."

"Is there any?"

Gao Yang nodded, "The room doesn't smell like smoke anymore."

"Haha." Suzaku was very proud: "I quit smoking."

Gao Yang was a little surprised.

Suzaku frowned unhappily: "What's your expression? You don't believe me?"

"Why did you quit suddenly?" Gao Yang asked.

"No special reason." Suzaku said in a relaxed tone.

"I woke up one morning and found that my cigarette case was empty. I asked Gregor to borrow one, and he just finished smoking the last one. It was too troublesome to go out to buy it, and it was cold. Then I thought, it would be better if Gao Yang was awake, and he would help with a swish. I bought it back, and then I thought, Gao Yang would definitely not buy it for me, and would ask me to quit smoking with a straight face, which made me even more annoyed..."

"So you quit?" Gao Yang couldn't believe it.

"Well, I quit like this." Suzaku said, "I was shocked."

"It's worthy of praise." Gao Yang looked at the blackboard in front of his desk: "Do you have any clues?"

Suzaku sighed: "No."

After the curtain call, Suzaku has been looking for the key word of fate that Wenzi left for her - the captain.

If others have any clues, they will be collected by Suzaku and handed over to her for analysis.

Suzaku searched for a needle in a haystack for seven months, but still found nothing.

"Do you know about the dragon?" Suzaku asked.

Gao Yang nodded.

Suzaku got right to the point, "Do you think Ryuu might be the captain?"

Gao Yang was silent.

"Didn't the Cangmu Cult have a set of lies? It said that it could give ship tickets to loyal believers and take them away from the apocalypse."

Suzaku paused, "Long said before that we are all on the same boat, but the division of labor is different. Long also said that his mission is after you. Could it be that his mission is to become the captain?"

Suzaku shook his head: "But if his mission is to be at the helm, why did he disappear with the miraculous runes? There are too many things that I can't understand."

Suzaku came back to his senses, "Sorry, you just woke up, so I asked you to talk about work." Gao Yang shook his head, "During the time I was in coma, thanks to you, everyone's hearts stayed together."

"Who says it's not?" Suzaku smiled bitterly, "In order to unite everyone, I have held annual meetings. God knows how much I hated annual meetings before."

"Xia Li, I don't have a clue right now. I will communicate with you if I have clues." Gao Yang said.

"Row."

"I'm leaving first." Gao Yang said.

"It's getting late, you can just go to bed tonight and let's talk about it." Suzaku persuaded him to stay.

"Let's wait another day." Gao Yang said, "I want to go back home first."

Suzaku was startled, then stepped forward and hugged Gao Yang again. This time the hug was more solemn and tender: "Gao Yang, come back at any time."

"Ah."

……

Half an hour later, Gao Yang returned to Shanqing District.

Gao Yang got off the bus near his community. For some reason, he wanted to walk on the road he used to go to school.

Just after walking for a while, a voice came from behind: "Gao...Team Leader Gao!"

Gao Yang turned around, and a petite girl trotted over. She was wearing a red coat and a scarf. Her hair was softly draped, and most of her fair face was covered.

Gao Yang was stunned for two seconds before he came back to his senses. He smiled lightly: "Hong Xiaoxiao."

"Team Leader Gao, what a coincidence, I actually see you here." Hong Xiaoxiao stepped forward happily. After the curtain call, she chose to go home and report to the Millennium Building once a week.

A young boy followed, carrying two large bags of New Year's goods, "Sister, is he team leader Gao? I thought he was a bald man, but I didn't expect him to be so young."

"This is called being young and promising!" Hong Xiaoxiao winked at Gao Yang: "In the past, Team Leader Gao took care of me in the company."

Gao Yang immediately understood, "Xiaohong, I'm taking care of you because you are very capable. The newcomers are not as good as the previous ones. What do you think? Do you want to come back to the company?"

Just as Hong Xiaoxiao was about to speak, she was interrupted by her younger brother, "Team Leader Gao, please spare my sister. She is really not suitable for sales. She will suffer from amenorrhea if she continues to work."

"Looking for death!" Hong Xiaoxiao gave her younger brother a slap on the shoulder.

"Xiao Hong, who is this!" A middle-aged couple and an old man came over.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, this is the Team Leader Gao I often tell you about. At that time, the entire team lost their passports and were trapped abroad. Fortunately, he found a way, otherwise they would not be able to come back."

"Hey, you are Team Leader Gao. Nice to meet you!" The uncle hurried forward and held Gao Yang's hand excitedly.

"I didn't expect that you are so young!" The aunt came over with a smile, "Young man, are you not married yet? Do you have a girlfriend? What is your zodiac sign..."

"Mom!" Hong Xiaoxiao was anxious.

"Why are you excited? Mom is not going to give you a blind date!" The aunt said confidently: "I am carrying the KPI. It's not like you don't know that your aunt and uncle are worried to death about their daughter."

"Grandpa!" Hong Xiaoxiao began to ask for help.

"Stop talking, Xiaofang, this is the first time we meet. You are like this." Grandpa walked forward cheerfully and looked Gao Yang up and down: "Team leader Gao, my Xiaohong has caused trouble for you."

"No." Gao Yang said.

"My wife here is like this. She doesn't care about the occasion when she speaks. Don't be surprised."

"No." Gao Yang said.

"If you don't mind, come over to my house and I'll treat you to a cup of tea?" Grandpa said.

"Unfortunately, I still have something to do today." Gao Yang smiled, "Next time, definitely next time."

"Okay, okay, young man, that's great." Grandpa patted Gao Yang on the shoulder, and the family turned and left.

After walking for a while, grandpa said: "Xiaofang, you are confused. Why would such a good young man introduce you to another girl? Isn't it that our Xiaohong is not worthy..."

"grandfather!"

"Oh dad, I'm called a drunkard and don't care about drinking. It's not good to be too direct. Young people nowadays like to be roundabout..."

"mom!"

"Team leader Gao attracts women at first glance, but my sister can't grasp it at all..."

"I'll get angry if you don't do this again!"

……

Gao Yang stayed where he was, watching Hong Xiaoxiao's family of five enjoying themselves and slowly walking away.

I don't know how much time passed before he put his hands in his pockets and turned around to disappear into the crowd.
