C20 (2/2)

”Eh? It can't be that you are trying to take advantage of a lady from a good family, right? ” San Mao looked at the Taoist and asked curiously.

”No, no …” The Daoist hurriedly shook his head and explained, ”If I run too fast, I'm afraid you'll be unhappy too late.”

”Oh right, Taoist, what you said this morning …”

”Ah?” ”No, no …” Before I could finish, the Daoist interrupted me and said, ”I was joking, I was joking …”

While I was wondering, I suddenly felt a kick on my leg under the table, and then a hand grazed my thigh. I turned my head and saw the Taoist give me a look, so I quietly dropped my hand from the table and felt the Taoist push a ball of paper into my hand.

”I … I … I …” I... I still have things to do... You... You... Eat slowly... ”I'll be leaving first …” The Taoist stuttered as he stood up.

”Ah? This isn't like you, you always leave after eating your fill and paying the bill, right? ” San Mao ridiculed.

No, no... ”Joking …” ”The Taoist mumbled incoherently as he walked out, looking left and right as he walked.

”This guy, is he trying to kill me today?” San Mao said as he pointed to the Taoist's back.

”He's always been this way. He's always so secretive. He told me this morning that a few of Ma Hang's planes were shot down because they had zombies on them.” I hid the ball of paper in my pants pocket and picked up a chopstick of steamed yellow fish with snow vegetables and put it in my mouth to chew.

”Zombies?” MaggieQ's expression suddenly froze. ”What zombie?”

”Right, what zombie?” San Mao was also in high spirits, as he waved his hands and said, ”Is it the Hong Kong movie where you can only jump, stretch your arms and pinch people, or the American movie where you have a face full of rotten flesh and shout about wanting to bite someone?”

”It should be the bite type …” I said absent-mindedly.

”Alright, then we won't have to go to work anymore. We'll play zombie games everyday!” San Mao shouted without a care.

”Yeah, at that time, I guess no one would care about it anymore. They would just take the famous brands, bags, and jewelry whenever they want …” Darling, remember to get me a Cartier bracelet … ” Selina spoke coquettishly to San Mao.

”No problem, when the Wanxiang City's first floor is full of people, you can pick whatever you want …” San Mao imitated her tone.

”You're too good.” Selina kissed San Mao across the table full of dishes.

”Do you believe that?” I was in the dark, when I heard MaggieQ ask quietly across from me.

”What?” I didn't know what to do.

”Zombie, do you believe that?” MaggieQ stared at me.

”I …” I was momentarily at a loss for words. I suddenly felt a chill as I thought about the monster that I had seen this morning with half of its neck broken and was still crying out.

”I need to go to the bathroom.” I got up and went to the toilet. I found an empty stall and went inside. I took out the piece of paper that the Taoist had given me and unfolded it. On it, there was a single word written crookedly — ”Run!”
