Chapter 1002 Sixty Nine. Beach Dating

  “嘚嘚嘚嘚嘚…”

  The unique smell of early morning is mixed with the smell of the sea wafting from the harbour, wafting in from the window, blowing off the window towel, and drifting into the living room of the detective agency.

  Oliver huddled in the corner of the sofa, shaking all over.

   "He's Oliver, my companion, Jojo's brother." Lu Li introduced.

   "Hello, I'm Anna." Anna lifted her skirt slightly, slightly arrogant to aristocratic etiquette.

  In front of the stranger she met for the first time, Anna still maintained a certain degree of restraint. Of course, except for Lu Li.

  “嘚嘚嘚嘚嘚…”

   Oliver trembled more violently, his cheeks trembling endlessly.

  He turned his head stiffly, not daring to look at Anna, his eyes were full of help, and he looked at Lu Li.

   Lu Li ignored Oliver's call for help and continued to introduce: "Anna, my family."

   changed to Anna in a panic, her pale and illusory cheeks turned red into cooked shrimp, turned into an afterimage and escaped into the oil painting, solidified and faded, leaving a back view of the detective agency.

  Anna's departure made Oliver's pressure plummet, and he carefully glanced at the portrait from the corner of his eye: "Boss, I am touched by your heart-shattering love, but I am just an ordinary person. I bless you but it is not suitable to participate in it..."

  Because the time with Lu Li was short, Oliver was more determined to withdraw.

   At this time, they had not experienced their subsequent friendship.

  Lu Li kept calm and allowed Oliver to leave.

   "Uh... No boss, sir, how did you know about my sister?" Oliver asked again with concern.

   "You told me."

   "I told...?" Oliver couldn't remember when, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "My sister just wants to live a peaceful life..."

   "I won't disturb her."

  Oliver hopes that Lu Li can live up to his word. But due to the inertia of growing up in the slums and the bottom of the society, he felt that he should let his sister be more careful recently...

  Oliver crept back to the door like a monkey.

  Click—

   "Do you know Wiener Freeze Harbor?"

When    opened the door, he heard the calm words of the mysterious former boss.

   "Uh...what? I know, right in the north of the Lord's Continent?"

   "There will be the center of human civilization in the future, with more opportunities and more security."

"I will think about it."

   With a speculative understanding of this sentence, Oliver left the detective agency completely.

"he left."

   Restoring the quiet detective agency, Lu Li looked at the oil painting again.

   The bright back is clearly separated from the mottled oil painting.

   "It has nothing to do with him..."

  Anna's voice sounded in the oil painting.

   "Does that require me to leave?"

  Lu Li's "sluggishness" made Anna unbearable, floating out and shouting, "I think we are developing too fast!"

   "We haven't gone out on a date yet, haven't seen both parents, haven't exchanged tokens of love—"

  Anna's cheeks became redder as she spoke, like a girl who was just beginning to fall in love.

   Then Anna saw Lu Li fasten his loose tie, picked up the coat on the hanger, put it on and looked at her.

   "Now."

  …

  Crash-Crash-

   Distant waves beat against the reef day and night.

  The gentle tide caresses the light brown sand.

  Away from the hustle and bustle of the streets and ports, the children picking up conch shells in the shoals in the distance walk in the tranquility formed by the long withered woods and the sandy bays. Farther and farther away from the carriage that stayed on the street behind him.

  The seabird hovered low, and a poster was swept by the wind and fell under his feet.

  【Belfast, the closest place to the ocean and prosperity】

   The clear eyes seemed to emit light, with surprise: "How do you know that I like the beach?"

   "You told me."

"Well…"

   The quirky Anna wanted to say something on her cheeks, and soon she was immersed in the vastness and beauty of the bay.

   "It's so beautiful... If the plants are growing, there are no clouds, the sun is shining... Maybe it's more beautiful than the beach in the painting."

   "There will be such a day."

  It’s a pity that Anna couldn’t see it with her own eyes at that time.

  Two silhouettes stand on the deserted beach, and even if people from a distance look at it, it is difficult to perceive that one of the silhouettes is illusory and unreal.

   "When we were kids?"

"what?"

"We met when we were very young, and you remembered me then..." Anna did not imagine what she had imagined later. "The boy who grew up returned to Shymfast to find that his beloved had died, he was crying in front of her grave, and then suddenly there was One day I heard that the gallery was haunted, a boy with hope came to the gallery, and then the prince greeted his princess—" said it.

"No."

  Beautiful imagination is broken like a bubble.

   "But I think you know me and know a lot about me..." Anna didn't give up.

   "We meet in the future."

   Anna's cheeks were slightly red, which was understood as some kind of love. The romance novels and poems she dabbled in did not involve the theme of "time" and "rebirth", and she could not understand what a lover who returned from the future was.

   Soon, Anna's attention returned from the seascape to her side. She felt that the two of them were like lovers enjoying the scenery in the oil painting, but Lu Li didn't seem to be interested in the vast bay, and looked around to observe the street behind him.

   "Don't you like scenery?"

   "The most beautiful scenery is already around."

   Lu Li didn't realize the power of his calm elaboration, and his black eyes stared at the sewer under the embankment.

   "I...I, let's go back..."

"Um."

   shoulder to shoulder, the thinking Lu Li and the shy Anna returned to the coastal street.

  Occasionally, that illusory white palm that swings and Lu Li's hand that falls down approach, overlap, and then pass through each other—

  Back to the carriage, Lu Li did not return to Sailors Street, he drove along the coastal street to the port, and bought a pen and a few pieces of stationery from the street grocery store.

   Writing slowly over the bumps of the carriage on the bluestone road.

  Anna sneaked out of the carriage, and barely recognized the most repeated words "Marcus", "Richard", "sewers", "child", "a door" and "curse" from the two sheets of paper. Driving through the bustling port streets, Lu Li took the reins.

   "Stay in the carriage and wait for me."

  Lu Li said, walking towards a shop called [Blind Date and Love Anleis Brothers Underground Pipe Repair Station] in the distance.

   "Letter to Tesla."

   Handed the two letters to An Leis' brother or brother behind the counter, Lu Li left the maintenance station and returned to the carriage to continue the journey.

   is still not the direction of Sailor Street.

   On the edge of the wealthy area, the carriage stopped in front of a single-family house with white walls.

"wait for me."

   Lu Li said, pushing the door into Haders' detective agency.

   ding bell — ding bell —

  The wind chimes swayed crisply, and Lu Li came to the counter through the living room like a closed tavern. Put 500 shillings on the table.

   "One psychic gun, 10 bullets."

   Hades grinned, gold teeth gleaming dimly under the oil lamp: "That's not enough, friend."

   "The merchants are cheaper." Lu Li said calmly.

   Haders stared at Lu Li for a few seconds, confirming that it was a fellow and not a fat sheep, and reached out to paddle the table shilling.

"make a deal."
