Chapter 84
Although it was summer, the seaside at night was still a little cool. In addition to Gu Huai's wet condition, the wind was really chilly.
Gu Huai gently rubbed the tip of his nose after he sneezed, but he had no choice about his present situation.
The system saw that the young man caught a cold and it watched for a long time.
At this time, its voice prompted coldly, "You can find a place nearby for one night first."
"Yeah." Gu Huai also thought so. In his current situation, it was not suitable for him to go anywhere far.
The safest idea was to find a hotel nearby. His current location was in a park close to the seashore. Gu Huai checked the nearby hotels with his mobile phone. The nearest one was about a 20 minutes' walk along the main road after he left the main gate.
In the middle of the night, Gu Huai didn't see anyone else on his way to the main gate, but it was obviously a good thing for him. His whole body was wet and embarrassing, which didn't need to be seen by too many people. After arriving at the main gate, Gu Huai stopped and looked down at the mobile map to confirm the direction again.
When he was sure that he was ready to raise his head and move on, he heard a rather young voice.
"Hello there", Gu Huai looked up and saw a smiling face, reflected by the street light, on the man not far away.
From his face, he looked very cheerful. He could hear no malice in his voice.
"Hello", Gu Huai nodded to him and politely responded. In the evening, Gu Huai didn't expect to meet anyone.
Although the youth was all wet, his soft black hair was wet, some of them were pasted on their cheeks, so were his clothes, and even some of them were dripping with water, his manner of speaking made people feel comfortable.
"Because I think you may have some difficulties, I came here to ask if you need any help, um, Do you want me to give you a ride?" Ao Qi said and pointed to a car not far away.
Gu Huai hesitated for a moment. He didn't worry that it was a black car. He still had the ability to read people. He could be sure that the man in front of him was really just showing kindness.
Gu Huai hesitated because he was wet all over now and it was not good to ride in someone else's car.
"It's OK. If the seat is stained with water, I'll wipe it with a cloth. I don't mind" Seeing the young man's concerns, Ao Qi waved.
The other side said so, and he also really wanted to get rid of his current situation as soon as possible. Gu Huai stopped talking, and walked over with a light nod.
"Thank you."
Taking a seat in the back seat, Gu Huai listened to the man in the driver's seat, "My name is Ao Qi, you should be looking for a hotel to stay in. Should I take you to that one, their service is pretty good."
Just now, there was a glimpse that the young man was using his mobile phone to search for a nearby hotel, so Ao Qi said that.
"Well, please." There was no reason to be choosy when being helped by others. Gu Huai replied with thanks. From the seaside park to the nearest hotel, he could get there in less than ten minutes by car.
The car stopped at the door of the hotel. Gu Huai put his hand on the door handle. Suddenly, he thought of something very embarrassing.
"That, Can you lend me three hundred yuan first? You can leave me a cell phone number and I'll transfer the money back to you when I get home tomorrow."
Gu Huai's expression was very calm when he spoke, but in fact, Gu Huai was very embarrassed. He had not been faced with such a plot in the several worlds he had experienced.
The original body went out to commit suicide in the sea. He didn't have any money with him. The single digit balance in his bank account could not be ignored.
"Here you are, but is only three hundred enough?" Ao Qi quickly took out three hundred yuan from his wallet and handed them to the young man in the back seat. He didn't seem to worry about being cheated.
"It's enough", Gu Huai took over the money, wrote down the mobile phone number of the man, got off the car, and then sincerely thanked him.
Ao Qi smiled, after helping the other, he didn't show any entanglements. He drove away in another direction after dropping him cleanly.
Gu Huai entered the hotel with 300 yuan borrowed from a stranger. He had calculated how much he would need, he used his mobile phone to find out that the price of staying in this hotel for one night was more than 100 yuan.
Then he needed to pay for a ride home. Plus, he had to fill in his stomach a little. It was almost 300 yuan.
Gu Huai felt embarrassed when he accepted so much kindness from others without any reason. He also felt that his luck was a bit good. He happened to meet a kindhearted and helpful man in an awkward period.
At the other end, Ao Qi, who was driving towards the center of City C, didn't know that he had just been issued a good guy card. The smile on his face dropped the moment he left the youth, but his expression was a little interesting.
"A newly awakened blood line, beautiful little fish." Ao Qi took one hand away from the steering wheel and raised it to touch his chin."It's really interesting."
For other ordinary people, Ao Qi never looked at them when passing by, let alone offered to help. This time, he could only say that the situation was special.
Although they were not of the same race, they were all aquatic. According to human perspective, the race of the youth was still their distant relatives.
But the former was much weaker than them, so Ao Qi's idea of helping was born when he saw the other. He knew the other was a fish, otherwise Ao Qi was not a meddler either.
Of course, this kind of embarrassing thing was that he didn't mention him, so he would just expose it."Well, I've been a little delayed. I hope the boss doesn't care if I'm late."
If the boss got angry, he would say he was late because he helped a beautiful fish. He didn't know if it would help. Ao Qi thought about it in his heart, and finally thought it was more realistic and stepped on the accelerator.
Even though, the boss of his family never spoke of brotherhood, he had to tell him.
The transportation of human beings was too slow. If using magic, Ao Qi could reach his destination in less than a second.
However, their non-human association had made it clear that they were not allowed to use magic in the human world.
This agreement stipulated that all non human races were treated equally, even the race that held the highest privilege in the association were no exception.
At this time, Gu Huai, who had successfully checked into the hotel, was successfully bathed in hot water. His body below his shoulder was immersed in the bathtub, and his legs became silver fishtails again.
He swam gently and slowly in the water for a while."System, is my appearance a little strange Um, um", Gu Huai reached out and touched his tail. He had always looked like a human even in non human worlds.
As soon as he touched the silver fish tail, Gu Huai paused because of the strange feeling he felt in an instant.
Maybe because this fish tail was new, it was very sensitive to touch. Anyway, Gu Huai no longer reached out to touch his tail.
Because of the strange feeling he just felt, the eyes of the beauty who was swimming in the bathtub were slightly dyed red, and his eyebrows which were originally very beautiful now showed a kind of touching beauty.
"System" After no response for a long time, Gu Huai could not help but call his system.
"... No." After a long delay, the system answered the youth's questions in a low voice.
Influenced by the awakened blood, Gu Huai liked to stay in the water now. He squinted and continues to lie in the bathtub with his head resting on the edge of the bathtub.
He started to sort out the original body's memory while gently flicking his tail.
In the past 21 years, the original body had been just a normal human being, and there had been no such magic event that could turn legs into fish tails.
In the normal human world, he was an actor as he thought before, but he was not a famous star in the performing arts circle, but just an 18th tier actor.
When he first signed the contract with his current company, he was the most favored among all the new comers because of his outstanding appearance. But of course, his life didn't really develop in the direction that everyone expected.
Otherwise, he would not have been a small actor til now, and even facing the crisis of being fired by the company.
At the beginning, he was favored by the company because of his appearance. When allocating resources, the company showed more care towards him than other new employees, which made people offended.
It was OK if the original body quickly advanced under the double advantages of appearance and resources, but the acting skills of the original body was really bad to a level, in the words of the public, only his face was good.
Even if the original body played the main lead of an idol drama, he would ng a dozen times, making the director go into a rage.
But he didn't know much about the world. Generally speaking, he didn't know how to be a human being. There were many people who offended him, so he felt he could never free.
In terms of popularity, he was comparable to some first and second tier actors, but it was all bad reputation. It was possible to say that his reputation was completely destroyed.
The degree of his terrible reputation was too deep. It was not easy for the public relations team. Besides, the company was not willing to waste more resources for him now. Originally an orphan, he had no family background to rely on.
After entering the performing arts circle, he never made much money. So he had to work part-time for a long time to make a living, but these years were still very difficult.
A series of pressures from the outside world were pressing on him. When he couldn't bear the pressure, he went to commit suicide in the sea, which was when Gu Huai took over.
The original body died in the sea because he failed to awaken his blood, but Gu Huai almost had to face the same end when he crossed over.
Fortunately, he successfully awakened his unknown blood at the last moment. Since then, the door of the new world has been opened. But Gu Huai couldn't relax now.
When he went back home tomorrow, he needed to think about the script. The audition the day after tomorrow, he must get the role anyway.
In his original world, he was the one wrote the script for the actors.
