Chapter 402: The Master's Best (1)
She rummaged around the kitchen for a while, and finally found a pack of expired instant noodles. She never had to worry about eating when Mingxi was around, and Mingxi should be the most disdainful of these convenient foods.
This pack of expired instant noodles was probably mixed in when Wang Shuaishuai sent a lot of snacks a long time ago, but at this time, it just happened to save Ning Meng's life.
The aroma of instant noodles can always confuse people's taste buds to some extent, and when Ning Meng soaked instant noodles and was about to enjoy the food, the door of the Worry Relief House was blown by a gust of wind. Ning Meng noticed that there had been a raging storm outside, and the crackling sound just now was the sound of raindrops hitting the eaves.
She just wanted to call Myung-hee to close the door, but realized that Myung-hee was not there now. She thought to herself a little self-deprecatingly, she was obviously a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth and was extremely independent, but now she had become a little petite child.
She walked to the door and was about to close it, when suddenly a lightning bolt fell from the sky, just in time to reflect a huge figure at the door. Ning Meng was startled and subconsciously touched the golden key.
Oops, I pressed the lid of the instant noodles with the golden key when I made the noodles just now, and now the golden key is on the table, and now it's too late to run over and get it.
Ning Meng took half a step back, ready to run at any time, pretending to be calm and said, "Is there something wrong with you?"
The tall figure said, "I want to ask, is this the place that can grant wishes?" and his tone was gentle, not at all scary
Ning Meng's heart relaxed halfway, it turned out to be a client, but it was so late and he came over on a stormy night, there should be something very important, so he said: "This is the Worry Relief House, which is the shop you said can fulfill your wishes, but usually we are closed at this time." ”
"Oh, then I'll be here later. His voice sounded disappointed.
Ning Meng said: "It doesn't matter, there are exceptions." What's more, it's raining outside, and I don't have any reason to refuse the client to go out. Please come in. ”
The tall figure took a step forward, and Ning Meng saw his appearance clearly.
This big man is the size of three or four normal people in terms of size and physique, if it weren't for the fact that the building of the Worry Relief House could automatically adjust his space with the number of people in it, and how tall and short he was, Ning Meng would have suspected that this tall man would need to bend over all the time in the room.
He had black hair that had grown to the base of his neck, and if it had just rained or something else, his black wool curls were greasy against his brains and neck. The tip of his nose was large and round, as if it could cover his entire face, but fortunately, that face was also large and round, making his overall facial features look quite coordinated.
Every step he took was like a pit in the floor. When he sat on the sofa where the client usually sits, Ning Meng really wanted to thank Wang Shuaishuai for a batch of high-end furniture not long ago, I have to say that this thing is really quite sturdy.
Ning Meng moved the untouched bubble side to the side, and took out a few pastries from the cabinet that Mingxi often drummed to entertain the client. She had to admit that her pose was really not good-looking, but she firmly believed that food was eaten rather than seen, and she firmly believed that the person in front of her didn't care about these details.
This can be seen from his tattered and untidy clothes, he is not a "decent man" in the traditional sense.
Ning Meng said her opening remarks again with an attitude of non-discrimination, her tone was as soft as possible, after all, she already felt that she had endured more, and she didn't care about another more tricky business.
The client came prepared, and he didn't need too much guidance from Ning Meng to directly explain his intentions.
"My name is Gray," he said, "and you can see, I'm too tall and a little too big, so my wish is that I have the same normal body as everyone else." At least it looks like a normal person. ”
Ning Meng said: "In fact, many people want to have a tall man and a strong figure. ”
"Yes," said Gray, whose face was a little sad, "but none of them thought of having such a tall and muscular body. I'm a little too special, too. Every time I go out, all the people look at me, and all the places are not for people of my size, so I just want to be ordinary. ”
Ning Meng imagined what it would be like if she lived in a toy castle. If she couldn't shrink herself, it would be terrible.
Ning Meng felt a trace of sympathy for her client, the gentleman who called himself Gray, and said, "Of course I am willing to help you, not to mention that the Anxiety House is a place where any wish can be granted, but only if you pay a certain amount of money for your wish." What are you willing to give to make your wish come true?"
"I haven't thought about that yet. ”
"It's okay, you can think about this slowly, after all, our anxiety house also has a precedent of fulfilling wishes first and then paying for them. ”
Ning Meng will always treat this kind of "vulnerable group" like this, not to mention that she has just struck a crime in an extreme way, what she needs now is to do as much good deed as possible to make up for the wounds in her heart. After all, although he was a heinous person, that kind of death seemed a little too cruel in her eyes.
Gray said, "You mean you agreed to accept my commission?"
"Of course. ”
"So the Worry House can accept my wish?"
"Of course. ”
Ning Meng didn't quite understand why Gray wanted to confirm this issue again and again, maybe for someone who was too prepared for something, he always didn't believe that good things could really happen to him.
Ning Meng felt that she needed to say something, so she said: "Why don't you go back first, and I'll contact you when I think of a solution, you can leave a phone number, or other contact information or something." ”
"Oh, you see it's raining so hard outside," Gray said, seemingly embarrassed, "and you know I don't want to be in front of people." If I could, would I be able to spend the night here? Of course, I would pay for it. ”
Ning Meng thought about it, there have always been many rooms in the Worry Relief House, except for the rooms used by herself and Mingxi, there are also a lot of guest rooms. Even if Wang Shuaishuai and the rooms they use are still a lot, theoretically there should be empty rooms for Gray to stay for one night. What's more, the rain outside is so heavy, and Gray is so pitiful, she has no reason not to leave Gray.
Ning Meng said, "I'd love to keep you for one night, but I'm not sure if there's a suitable bed for you in this store." You know ......."
"It's okay, I can sleep on the floor, it's summer anyway. ”
"Then if you don't mind, I'll prepare a few more quilts for you, so that you can sleep more comfortably. ”
"Would you like to keep me in the Comfort House?"
"One night shouldn't be a problem. ”
"Really?" Gray reconfirmed.
Ning Meng once again felt that her theory was correct, and Gray was really the kind of person who didn't believe that good things would happen to her. She tried to keep her tone as gentle as she could, acting like a hospitable host and saying, "Of course. The Anxiety House is a place where everyone's wishes come true, and there is no reason to say no to someone who wants to stay overnight. ”
"Great. ”
Ning Meng seemed to see a smile in the corner of Gray's eyes, that smile was not kind, but a smile that would only come after the plan succeeded, if it wasn't for what happened next, Ning Meng would definitely feel dazzled.
"Ning Meng, what are you doing!" Mingxi shouted, he rarely called Ning Meng by his first name. To a certain extent, he still has the concept of "status hierarchy", he has always believed that Ning Meng is his master, and he is just a squire.
As soon as Mingxi came back, he yelled at himself, which first made Ning Meng stunned, and then made Ning Meng very dissatisfied. She said with a hint of resentment, "Don't you see? I'm greeting the guests of the Relief House." The guests are still yelling here, which is really unruly. Hurry up and go to the inner room, don't lose your face in the house of worry. ”
This is already a very heavy word for Mingxi, if it were a normal time, Mingxi would definitely rush back to the inner room to sit in his rocking chair, or hide in his own dispensing room, but at this time, he didn't care about the ground that he had been caring about, but rushed to Ning Meng with an arrow step, blocking the middle between her and Gray, tilting his head slightly, while his eyes kept staring at Gray, and said to Ning Meng: "Do you know who he is?"
"The client of the Relief House, Gray. ”
"Gray, that's just his name! He's a giant! He's a giant. ”
Although Ning Meng was also a little shocked, she had already accepted any strange thing, but instead felt that Mingxi was making a fuss and said, "What's wrong with the giant? ”
At this time, Gray looked innocent and said, "If it's inconvenient, don't bother, I'll go first." As soon as the words fell, a thunder exploded outside, and a burst of rain was even heavier than just now.
Ning Meng stepped forward to stop and said, "Please wait a minute, there is nothing inconvenient, there are still many rooms in the Worry Relief House, I can arrange one for you." ”
Mingxi said coldly behind Ning Meng: "No." ”
Gray glanced at Mingxi and then at Ning Meng and said, "It's okay, I'll go first, thank you, as for my wishes, you must help me realize them when the time comes." ”
Gray finished speaking and disappeared into the storm.
Ning Meng looked at Mingxi with an angry face and said, "When did you become so unsympathetic, it was raining so hard outside, and he had nowhere to go, so he proposed to spend the night in the worry relief house." There are so many rooms in the Relief House, why can't you give him a night's stay?"
