rebirth against the times

In the middle of the night, Bai Shuo felt a little sore and numb in his arm. As he moved, he felt he touched something soft. Bai Shuo looked around in a hazy state, only to find that his arm was resting on the sleeping Anna. He was immediately shocked by this scene.

You have to wake up suddenly and lose all your drunkenness.

Bai Shuo half arched his body, gently withdrew his arm, and then inadvertently looked at Anna again, only to find that Anna's eyes were already open and staring at him fiercely. Bai Shuo was shocked and said with a smile: "No.

I'm sorry to wake you up, I was a little drunk before, so thank you very much."

Anna said calmly with no expression on her face: "I'm willing to shrink back, do you want to let it go for a while?"

Bai Shuo shook the arm he had just retracted and smiled awkwardly: "Is it really okay?"

"Bang!" Anna struck back with her hand, and Bai Shuo was hit hard on the bed. He didn't dare to make any more movement. Anna turned sideways, with her back to Bai Shuo. There were no more unnecessary words, and the room seemed abnormal again.

of quietness.

It was getting brighter and Bai Shuo got up from the bed in a daze. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost noon, but Anna was nowhere to be seen. Bai Shuo took out his phone and dialed.

"Are you awake?" Anna said coldly on the phone.

Bai Shuo: "Well, the wine last night was really strong. I don't know if adding white wine to vodka makes you more drunk..."

"Just wake up and see if you can show off next time."

"Hey, I said, why do I feel sore in my body? Did I fall last night?"

Anna burst out laughing: "There was no fall. It must have been caused by being dishonest when sleeping at night."

Bai Shuo didn't hear anything strange and said to himself: "The bed is so soft, nothing can touch it..."

Anna: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll be back in a moment."

Bai Shuo: "Hey, it's already noon, where are you? I'll come find you. It's time to have lunch."

Anna: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the hotel restaurant."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Shuo walked straight to the restaurant. When passing by the bar, he saw Andre playing California poker with a few people in the corner of the bar. Andre probably had some bad luck in gambling, with a sad look on his face.

It was haggard, and the whole table was filled with smoke.

Couldn't Andre have been playing since last night? Bai Shuo couldn't help but think so.

Suddenly, Bai Shuo noticed that there was a person who made some small movements with his hands when he took the card, and the two people next to him just blocked the sight of others for him, and joked with Andre at the same time. This was actually a diversion.

Andre's attention. When Bai Shuo followed Zhuang Lianhong in Tai O, he learned a lot about playing poker, and this little trick of changing cards could not be hidden from Bai Shuo's glasses.

Bai Shuo hesitated for a while and then walked over.

"Hi, Bai, you look good." Andre stood up immediately when he saw Bai Shuo and shouted excitedly.

Bai Shuo: "Andre, I don't care about that drink. If nothing happened last night, I could still have a few drinks with you."

Andre: "Then I'm looking forward to it..."

Bai Shuo walked up to Andre, patted his thick arm and asked: "I said, you haven't been here since last night, right?"

Andre smiled bitterly: "Yeah, I drank until early in the morning, met a few of them again, and played cards until now."

Andre suddenly looked behind Bai Shuo and asked with some disappointment: "Well, where is Miss Anna? Why aren't you with me?"

Bai Shuo: "Oh, she has something. By the way, she asked me to tell you something."

Andre was stunned: "Anna? She has something to tell me?"

"Well, yes, she said..." Bai Shuo suddenly leaned close to Andre's ear and whispered to Andre that the people across from him were in trouble, and asked him to be careful.

After Bai Shuo finished speaking, he smiled ambiguously at Andre and prepared to say goodbye. Andre happily opened his arms and suddenly gave Bai Shuo a bear hug: "Oh, my dear friend, I'm so glad you conveyed this to me.

It’s such an exciting thing, let’s have a chance to drink together again.”

Although Bai Shuo was not weak, he couldn't withstand the bear hug from Andre, a big man. He quickly pushed Andre away and turned around to look for Anna. Andre looked back at Bai Shuo after he left.

For a moment, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes...

Bai Shuo waited in the restaurant for a while, but there was no sign of Anna. Just when she was a little anxious, Anna called. It turned out that she found a place to eat cabbage nearby, so she changed her decision temporarily and wanted to taste some food from her hometown.

Taste, ask Bai Shuo to go find her.

Bai Shuo searched for a long time based on the location mentioned by Anna, and after making two phone calls to confirm, he finally found the Korean restaurant in a very remote location.

"What took you so long?" Anna had already ordered a table of dishes and couldn't help but start eating.

"I said, Miss, your location is too far away. There is no mobile phone navigation now, so it's not that easy to find." Bai Shuo said helplessly.

"What navigation?"

Bai Shuo then remembered that he had let slip just now and dug out something that would only become popular on smartphones in the future. "Oh, there is a project I am thinking about that may be realized in the future. You can navigate to it through the map on your phone.

destination."

"Well, eat quickly, it's delicious." Anna didn't seem to care about what Bai Shuo said. The food on the table was her interest.

Only then did Bai Shuo realize that there were more than a dozen dishes on the table, but each one was very small and exquisite. It seemed that one could eat the whole dish with just one chopstick. "This is too exquisite, and it's not enough to fill the gap between teeth."

Of."

"Rude barbarian, good dishes need to be savored slowly. Come and try this kimchi. It tastes quite good." Anna carefully picked up a piece of cabbage-like vegetable, then wrapped it in some other dishes and put it on the table.

In Bai Shuo's bowl, Bai Shuo looked at Anna's careful handling, resembling a little housewife, completely different from the fierce look before.

"Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat..."

Bai Shuo immediately smelled it first and said with a smile: "You make eating salty and pickled cabbage so ritualistic." Then he swallowed the cabbage in one gulp.

"I said this tastes not too spicy and not too sour. It's not as delicious as our pickled pickled cabbage mixed with chili oil."

Anna glared at Bai Shuo coldly, ignored him, and started eating by herself. Bai Shuo knew that Anna was a little angry, so he didn't say anything. He followed Anna's example and prepared the dishes by himself. After eating a few mouthfuls, Bai Shuo

Shuo felt that it was a bit too troublesome, and he didn't eat much after being tired for a long time. He said that he drank wine last night, and now his stomach was growling with hunger. So he tentatively asked Anna if he could order a bowl of rice to fill his stomach, and Anna kept asking.

Without even looking at Bai Shuo, he said a few words to the boss in Korean.

After a while, the boss brought a bowl of rice to Bai Shuo. Bai Shuo looked at it and said it was a bowl. The bowl was one size larger than the usual tea cup, but the rice was still very sweet and delicious.

In half a minute, Bai Shuo finished a bowl of rice with kimchi.

"Well, which one...can I have a few more bowls?" Bai Shuo smiled awkwardly and asked Anna again...

The business in the store was not very good, so the owner of the store was very free. Anna chatted with the boss while eating, but they were all in Korean, and Bai Shuo couldn't understand most of them. The boss saw that Bai Shuo was too good at eating.

, and came with two free portions of pork belly, which made Bai Shuo feel more favorable to the boss.

Unconsciously, the meal lasted for two hours. Anna and Bai Shuo said goodbye to the boss and prepared to return to the hotel. Along the way, Bai Shuo kept talking to Anna, talking about the dishes just now, and other things.

Anna still maintained her existing indifference, seeming to be listening, but not responding at all. However, Bai Shuo had long been used to it. He knew that Anna seemed indifferent, but in fact she was listening and thinking about everything he said.

While walking through a deserted alleyway, Bai Shuo was excitedly talking about an interesting story. Anna suddenly pulled Bai Shuo and signaled Bai Shuo to be quiet. Then she slowed down and carefully observed the movements nearby. Bai Shuo knew that

Anna discovered some danger, so she immediately stopped making noises and cheered up.

The two of them walked forward slowly for a few more steps, when suddenly a tall figure rushed over from an abandoned hut nearby. In just an instant, Anna pushed Bai Shuo back and borrowed the opportunity.

With the reaction force, she jumped up and kicked the black shadow in the air. The black shadow grunted and fell straight to the ground like a sandbag. And because the person was too heavy, Anna herself was kicked out.

He bounced away with his strength, took a few steps back, and then stood side by side with Bai Shuo.

At this time, two more people poured out of the room, approaching Bai Shuo and the others fiercely. As they gradually approached, the two stretched out their hands to touch the inside of their clothes, obviously coming prepared. Anna glared, and with a swipe from the

He took out two spikes on his body and held them tightly in his hands, ready to fight. However, what the two men took out from their arms was actually a pistol.

Bai Shuo's heart sank when he saw this, knowing that there would be some trouble today. But Anna was not afraid at all, and remained calm and prepared to fight back.

The two men approached slowly in small steps, loaded their pistols, and pointed them at Bai Shuo and Anna respectively. Anna's body slightly moved closer to Bai Shuo, and actually blocked Bai Shuo behind her, and she was alone

Facing the two dark muzzles, Bai Shuo was moved by Anna's behavior, but how could a grown man hide behind a woman and let a woman face danger alone?

Bai Shuo walked out from behind Anna and whispered: "Anna, you don't have to take care of me, otherwise neither of us will be able to escape. I can take care of myself, you believe me."

Anna also lowered her voice as much as possible, but said angrily: "Shut up, I'll do it later and you can run away. Remember to run to the side road."

At this time, a burly figure appeared behind the two people. A pair of big hands grabbed their shoulders from the middle, separated them, and then appeared.

"Bai Shuo? Oh, and Miss Anna, why are you here?" This person turned out to be Andre, whom we had just separated from before, and the big guy who was kicked to the ground by Anna was the person who was beside Andre before.

Bai Shuo glanced cautiously at the two men holding guns, and carefully explained to Andre: "Anna and I just had dinner nearby and are about to go back."

Anna still maintained a state of counterattack all the time, and did not relax at all.

Upon seeing this, Andre immediately asked everyone around him to put down their guns, and then signaled to Bai Shuo that he had no ill intentions.

Bai Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and asked Anna to take back her weapon.

Andre walked up to Bai Shuo, slapped Bai Shuo's arm hard and said excitedly: "Thank you for reminding me before, otherwise I wouldn't know how much money I would have been defrauded by those American guys. Do you know how many of them they have?"

How is he doing now? I think he will have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, haha..."

At this time, Bai Shuo still did not completely relax his vigilance. He looked at the other people and asked Andre: "Are we disturbing you?"

Andre stopped laughing and looked back at the surrounding situation: "Well, you guys showed up at the wrong time, but I believe you won't tell what happened today, right?"

Bai Shuo: "Of course, I don't like to meddle in other people's business."

"That's good……"

"Hey, Andre, you don't want to let them go just like this, do you?" the two people behind asked with some dissatisfaction.

Andre thought for a while and said to Bai Shuo: "But in order to dispel the concerns of my business partners, I hope you can be a little aggrieved and wait a little longer, okay?"

Bai Shuo looked at Anna, who nodded slightly.

Bai Shuo: "Okay, let's try our best to cooperate."

Andre smiled and immediately turned around and said a few words to the two people. After the two people nodded, Andre went into the hut. The two people with the guns did not return to the house.

Instead, he stayed outside and stared closely at Bai Shuo and Anna.

Through the door, Bai Shuo could vaguely hear some things going on in the room. Andre and the others seemed to be trading something inside, but the other party gave Andre money, but the goods were traded in another place. By An

Andre used the phone to control the situation remotely.

Soon, a group of people came out of the room. After glaring at Bai Shuo and Anna, they hurriedly left the alleyway together with the two guards outside.

Immediately afterwards, Andre came out of the room carrying a big box and two big guys. He smiled at Bai Shuo and said, "It's okay. You can go. I hope the unpleasantness just now will not affect you."

mood, especially Miss Anna."

Anna didn't answer, and didn't even look at Andre. Bai Shuo looked at Andre calmly and said: "There's nothing unpleasant. I don't know or have any interest in knowing about you. I will forget what happened today soon."

.”

Andre: "Okay, I have to leave too. You be careful and it's best to leave quickly." After that, Andre left in a hurry.

"I think we have to leave quickly, we shouldn't stay here for a long time," Anna said.

Bai Shuo: "Well, yes, let's go back to the hotel quickly."

Anna: "No, I'm talking about leaving this area and staying as far away from these people as possible."?
