Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 13: Love on New Year's Eve (Part 1)
Ning Bishu ran away without looking back.

I bought a ticket for the nearest train at around 1:00 p.m. and headed straight to the capital of China. Then, after getting on the train, I rode like a spy for just over four hours. As soon as the train crossed the Yangtze River, it left early in the dark.

After exiting the platform of Jinling South Station, Ning Bishu hailed a taxi. He simply told the driver to go forward, looking around furtively along the way. Before the driver could even think of calling the police, he suddenly shouted, "Stop!" as they passed a movie theater.

The driver slammed on the brakes, yelling "bitch" and "dick" and criticizing Ning Bishu for nearly causing an accident. Ning Bishu, always acting like a grandson when he's out and about, apologized profusely, quickly paid, and got out of the car.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar New Year's Eve, Ning Bishu was standing on the street in a strange city. A cold wind blew by, making him shiver twice.

Then he turned around without saying a word and entered the building behind him.

At the entrance of the building, posters of various films that will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year have been posted.

Ning Bishu walked in and found that there were not many posters of "Nezha 2".

Perhaps affected by the overall weak trend of the domestic film market in 2024, this domestic animation masterpiece, whose previous work had already won a box office record of 50 billion, did not cause much response in the market before it was released this year.

Ning Bishu could only sigh that it was indeed true that insiders would never shout out information that could really make money.

On the way here by high-speed train in the afternoon, Ning Bishu had already seen the stock price.

The film has not yet been released, but the price has already increased from 8.4 yuan to 9.5 yuan.

Even if you sell it now, you will make a net profit of more than 100 million.

But of course, even if we really want to sell it now, it is technically impossible.

After the market closes at 3 p.m., the Chive A stock will not reopen until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.

And seven days later, the market will definitely give a big surprise to those cowards who did not get on the train!

"Give me a 2."

"Is it the midnight show?"

"Ah."

At lunchtime, Ning Bishu bought tickets for the premiere outside a theater in a certain building.

Then I put the movie tickets in my pocket and went to find a place to eat.

After a while, I found a local noodle shop in the restaurant area on the second floor, which was full of restaurants and open even during the New Year. I sat down and ordered a bowl of "Super Double Ingredients Six Fresh Noodles" while calling Bi Guifen at home.

He started to lie as soon as he opened his mouth: "Mom, let me make it clear, it was a misunderstanding. Third Uncle made a mistake, yeah, yeah! That's right! It's okay! It's okay! By the way, I'm not going home tonight. I've made an appointment with a friend to go to the movies, and I've already bought the tickets!"

On the other end of the phone, Bi Guifen finally put her mind at ease after hearing what Ning Bishu said.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay. Then you... then you should come back early. It's New Year's Day and it's so cold outside..." Bi Guifen hesitated. After all, she still didn't want Ning Bishu to spend money outside.

"I understand." Ning Bishu agreed casually.

The call ended in a few words.

Then after finishing the call, he took out the movie ticket and took a photo.

First, I posted a circle of friends without location, deliberately letting my mother and other people including my third uncle see it, to prove that I am honest, have a stable life, and have not violated any laws or disciplines. It seems that I am trying to cover up my crime.

But Ning Bishu did it on purpose.

After finishing this work, the noodles were served quickly.

"Six fresh noodles with extra ingredients."

"Thank you."

Ning Bishu didn't eat much at noon, so he was very hungry and started eating quickly.

But just after taking a few bites, a timid voice suddenly came to my ears.

"Uncle, can you..."

Ning Bishu turned his head and saw a pretty face, which made his eyes light up instantly.

Then he blurted out: "Get out! No!"

The little girl's originally courageous and hesitant face turned pale in an instant.

She didn't say a word and shrank back weakly.

Ning Bishu smiled coldly.

Ah!
How could such a cute girl take the initiative to chat up an older guy like me?

Do you think that I, Ning Bishu, have been wasting all these years and don’t even know about the honey trap and the honey trap?
Ning Bishu ignored the pitiful look of the child, and ate the noodles in a few mouthfuls with peace of mind, and even drank up all the noodle soup.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he touched his stomach and turned around to see the girl still watching him from a distance.

Ning Bishu couldn't help but shake his head. With that look and those long legs, going out fishing on New Year's Day...

I don’t know which bastard is controlling it.

Forget it, it’s none of my business.

I have less than 3000 yuan in cash on me right now, what can I do?

If you really have trouble, just call the police. What's the point of making things difficult for a 30-year-old loser?
Ning Bishu turned around and left, decisively and without any hesitation.

Walking out of the dining area and following the main traffic line on the second floor of the building, Ning Bishu quickly entered the elevator.

Following the floor instructions in the elevator, he passed the cinema and went up to the fourth floor first.

There is an e-sports hotel on the fourth floor.

After coming out of the elevator, he walked along the corridor, turned two corners, and arrived at the door of the hotel.

On New Year's Eve, the lobby of the e-sports hotel was surprisingly half full of people.

Rather than calling it an e-sports hotel, it is more like a relatively large internet cafe with private rooms.

Ning Bishu walked straight to the front desk, took out his ID card and handed it over. He first asked the network administrator to activate the cheapest machine, and then casually asked, "How much does it cost to rent a room here for seven days?"

"Seven days?"

But this kind of thing is not uncommon, it’s just that it’s the Chinese New Year now.

The network administrator only glanced at Ning Bishu for a moment longer, then took out a calculator, quickly pressed the numbers, and said, "We have a discount here now where you can get 300 back for every 1000 you deposit. The room is 120 yuan a day, 840 for 7 days, and we have a New Year's discount, so it's 800 for you.

If you top up 1000, we'll give you three bottles of mineral water and a snack pack every day for free. We'll also give you a late-night snack, which is available on the room menu."

After listening to this long string of advertisements, Ning Bishu pondered for a while before asking, "Based on this standard, if I top up 1000, can I get 10 days of coverage directly?"

"Why don't you just subscribe to a monthly subscription..."

"No need! Just 10 days!" Ning Bishu looked determined.

The network administrator was shaken and said with a smile: "You had a quarrel with your family and ran away during the New Year?"

"Oh, don't say it, only women and villains are difficult to raise!"

There is not a single word of truth in Ning Bishu's mouth now.

The network administrator laughed and immediately booked a room for Ning Bishu.

“The bathroom is in front and turn right at the end. Toiletries are free.”

"Okay, thank you." Ning Bishu got the room card and walked in quickly.

After walking through the hall outside and taking a few steps, I found my room.

Swipe the card to enter, and when the door opens, the scene inside is clear at a glance.

It's just a small house of only a few square meters.

A partition separates the bed from the computer desk.

It can barely be considered a two-bedroom apartment.

Ning Bishu sat down on the chair, gave a wry smile, and wondered how he could have traveled hundreds of miles to such a place.

But he didn't have time to be sad.

After taking a breath, he took out the charger and quickly charged his phone.

After setting the ringtone of his cell phone to 11 o'clock, he walked to the bed and lay down on it with his legs spread out.

Turning my head, I saw a window next to the bed, and there were no curtains.

The colorful lights outside were reflected in the air, accompanied by some mottled light from the rain and snow.

It's hard to get a good night's sleep in a place like this.

But Ning Bishu doesn't care about these things now.

He just felt a surge of blood boiling in his heart.

Just like at this moment, hundreds of miles away, in a private room of a restaurant, among a table full of delicacies, the squirrel fish that had just been served and was still bubbling hot was like this - Ning Bishu's eldest cousin Ning Qian picked up a piece of fish and put it in grandma's bowl.

Then he raised his head and said to Ning Bishu's uncle, "Dad, I saw the circle of friends that Ning Bishu posted. It seems that he went to the movies."

Uncle San's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't contact him anymore. He's useless."
