After working for more than seven years, she saved up a few decent clothes and a few pairs of shoes that could see people, and they were all bought at the outlets.

As early as when He Waner was sixteen years old, his parents had divorced and separated.

Her father took her, her mother smiled, and lived in the south and north of the old city, only a few kilometers apart, but there was a bit of a posture of old and dead.

Later, accidents occurred one after another, He Guaner lost his father, He Yixiao and Lu Yunhui lost their houses, and then they all lived back in the family compound.

lived together for almost seven years, and it wasn't until four years ago that He Guaner bought a house with a mortgage in the southern district, and Lu Yunhui and He Yixiao moved out.

At that time, the 200,000 yuan borrowed for the down payment had just been paid off just now, and now the mortgage of more than 6,000 per month, the living expenses of 2,000 for He Yixiao, and the property management fees and water and electricity fees on both sides of the old and new houses add up to nearly 1,000.

He Yixiao has to pay more than 10,000 yuan in tuition fees every year to go to the Conservatory of Music, and now it is only the second year to pay, and there are still two years left.

In addition to these necessary expenses, she also has to pay between 1,000 and 2,000 per month for psychological counseling.

So even if her income is good in the second-tier city of Gyeongju, there are not a few salaries and bonuses left in a year.

Han Zhang always said that his aunt was patriarchal to the point of unbelievable, and her eccentricity was biased to the Pacific Ocean.

She also said more than once that He Guan'er was not afraid of the sky and the earth outside, but at home he was a wreck, killed and robbed by life, and slaughtered by others, so he Yixiao was raised like a vampire.

He Wan'er sometimes thinks about whether it is right for him to do this, and sometimes he wants to harden his heart and ignore it, but when he thinks of He Yixiao's well-behaved and immature appearance when he hugged her leg and called her sister when he was a child, his heart will soften all of a sudden.

She understands the truth, but at home, it is not a place to reason.

She sighed and shifted her gaze to the black picture frame on the white wall opposite.

In the small incense burner in front of the picture frame, three incense sticks were half burned, one was extinguished for some reason, and the remaining two were extinguished, and the smoke rose in a curling curl.

He Wan'er's tense shoulders loosened slightly.

He Wan'er, He Yixiao - Wan'er smiled.

It's hard to carry a family, but since their names are connected, she will carry it until she can't carry it anymore.

After a hasty dinner, He Wan'er finally felt a little sleepy.

She didn't dare to take a bath, for fear of being washed by the water and waking up again, so she hurriedly climbed into bed and changed into pajamas.

She habitually reached out to turn off the lamp at the head of the bed, but she touched the switch, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally withdrew her hand.

The warm orange light was turned on, and He Wan'er lay quietly, motionless.

But there was no silence in his ears.

A noisy scream filled his ears, He Wan'er frowned and endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help it and opened his eyes.

In front of me, there was a strange scene.

The ripples above his head were tingling with a faint green, and above the ripples, it seemed like a gray-blue sky.

The body is supported by some force, but it can't stop the tendency to sink.

He Wan'er looked down in a daze, and there was boundless darkness in front of him.

The only light source is in the head.

She looked up again, only to see the ripples above her head getting farther and farther away.

She wanted to struggle, but she couldn't help herself, her hands and feet were uncontrollable, and she couldn't move.

If you want to open your mouth to call for help, you can only feel that your airways are filled and there is a hint of sweet smell.

The whole person was densely wrapped in fear, and it was as if he was about to fall into an endless abyss.

When He Wan'er was desperate, he was just about to close his eyes and give up struggling, but found that above the ripples, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared.

The whistling sound in his ears suddenly disappeared, and someone was softly chanting two words.

Grass.

He Wan'er's eyes widened, and everywhere he could see, there was an extremely thick red.

Suddenly, it was as if there was a hard blow on the temple, and the head was filled with pain that was about to crack, and the whole world shook.

The red that filled the entire line of sight also seemed to have been shaken open, revealing a faint warm orange light.

The world of nothingness fades away, and the scene in front of me is real again.

When He Wan'er regained his senses, he found himself sitting on the bed panting.

After a while, the blur in her eyes dissipated, and the chill began from her fingertips, soaking her entire body.

It's like in a dream, the whole person is soaked in water.

It was easy to fall asleep, but in the dream, green ripples and blood-red eyes appeared again.

And that sound, grass.

He Wan'er curled up in the quilt and clenched his teeth to stop the trembling.

She had the same dream for the second time, after meeting Mo Chunshan for the second time.

————

"The person you are calling is turned off, please dial again later. ”

The mechanical female voice kept repeating, and He Wan'er put down his phone and rubbed his ears.

In addition to the headache, her tinnitus was getting worse and worse, and the screaming sound that had always been deep in her ears was not so obvious in the noisy and busy office area, but in the relatively quiet place of the pantry, it was overwhelming.

He Wan'er knew that this had a lot to do with the chaotic work and rest in the past week.

Moreover, she could not fall asleep after the second dream, and then shivered all night wrapped in a blanket, almost all night.

Fortunately, the sky was getting brighter and whiter outside the window, and her fear and helplessness gradually subsided, and she was able to get up normally to eat and go to work. However, the content of the strange dream came back from time to time, and frame by frame often jumped into my mind without warning, like a maggot on the tarsal bone.

Four years ago, one of the reasons why she started psychological counseling treatment when she was not financially well-off was the words "can't dream".

He Guan'er had no expectations for dreaming, but in the month when Ke Zhifang went to the other side of the ocean, she suddenly had this ability.

But the dream came unexpectedly, and she was not prepared for it, especially after experiencing that strange dream twice in a row.

He Guaner didn't like to trouble others, but at this moment, she had to turn to Ke Zhifang for help.

However, Ke Zhifang's phone was turned off all the time, and he didn't get through from morning to noon.

He Wan'er pinched his mobile phone and looked at the ceiling, unprecedentedly at a loss.

"Yo, you're hiding here on the phone?" suddenly sounded in someone's voice.

As soon as she looked down, He Guan'er saw Nie Yun standing next to the coffee machine opposite her, twisting up a packet of liqueur gum, tearing open the package and pouring it into the coffee cup, stirring slowly and methodically.

I heard that the series of reports on the sudden increase in the non-performing loan ratio of commercial banks that you followed up did not go very well, have you ever thought about changing the topic to a less difficult one?

Nie Yun's face was full of spring breeze, and she took a sip of coffee.

"Thank you for the concern, it's just a small bother. He Guan'er didn't want to talk to Nie Yun more.

She bowed her head slightly and planned to go out, but Nie Yun obviously wouldn't let her go easily.

Before she went out, Nie Yun called out to her.

"He Wan'er, isn't it too subordinate? I warn you, stay away from my interviewee, he won't pay attention to you, don't be sentimental. ”

He Wan'er was stunned - interview subject? Oh, Nie Yun is talking about Mo Chunshan.

The problem is that for her, it's too late to hide from Mo Chunshan, where will she take the initiative to bump into it?

He Wan'er sighed, and finally responded: "Don't worry, I'm not interested at all, don't be too neurotic." ”

The word "neurotic" obviously stimulated Nie Yun, and her voice unconsciously raised: "Really, then how do you explain your appearance at Tongcheng Road and Bridge? and how do you explain your approach to Mo Chunshan in the name of Fu Yingying?"

He Wan'er looked back at her and emphasized again: "I have no interest in or heart to take care of your affairs, and I have never thought of approaching the person you fancy." Instead of looking for me here to find Mo Chunshan and not be angry with you, it is better to think carefully about how your interview plan can arouse his interest. ”

"You!" was told through her heart, the coffee cup in Nie Yun's hand was stacked heavily on the countertop, and a few drops of liquid splashed on her hand, which made her immediately shrink her hand, and she calmed down a little.

She held back, and her voice was much calmer than before: "He Wan'er, what you took from me, I will get it back little by little, you wait and see." ”

He Guan'er didn't want to deal with her anymore, so he went straight out of the door and downstairs and returned to the office.

As a result, Xiao Lei came up with a sad face, and his voice was crying: "Boss, the data analysis is contrary to your previous judgment. Do you think it's going to be adjusted?"

He Wan'er was stunned and took the analysis results from her hand, but she felt that every word on the paper seemed to be an ant crawling again, and she couldn't understand what it meant at all.

She was in a terrible state, it seemed that there were many people talking in her ear, but she couldn't hear a single word, and there were so many thoughts and ideas in her head that she couldn't grasp any of them.

Not to mention the brain-burning thing of redrafting, she is even a little confused whether she is in reality or in a dream.

If you are still dreaming, will you jump from the top of the building, will you wake up from the current terrible situation?

Fortunately, such an extreme idea only appeared for a second before she suppressed it.

He Wan'er immediately made a decision, stuffed the piece of paper into his bag, turned back to Xiao Lei and said, "I'll go out, find someone to analyze and analyze, and then I'll tell you how to revise the manuscript when I have an idea." ”

Xiao Lei's eyes lit up: "Are you looking for Teacher Bai?" Very good, very good, his eyes are like torches, and he must be able to see where the problem is at a glance." ”

He Guan'er left the newspaper office, so naturally he didn't go to Bai Tinghai. Her condition is very wrong, and she has no energy to think about work at the moment.

Since Ke Zhifang couldn't find it, she had no choice but to save herself, and the top priority at the moment was to find a way to make her fall asleep and get a good night's sleep.
