In the middle of the night, in the bedroom of an apartment building, a woman's scream suddenly sounded, echoing in this quiet room, and the harshness was unusual.

Li Mengmeng sat up from the bed, the quilt covering her body had been kicked to the ground by her, her messy hair was wet with cold sweat, and strands were twisted together, covering most of her face.

There was a faint paleness on the exposed cheeks, and a few drops of cold sweat stuck to them, shining in the moonlight shining through the curtains.

Casually brushing the hair in front of her forehead, Li Mengmeng let out a long breath.

"Damn, another nightmare. Li Mengmeng muttered.

It's been more than a month, and in this more than a month, every time she falls asleep late at night, she is awakened by nightmares. And the nightmare was the same, she dreamed that her deceased friend Li Mengxi, with a disheveled hair and a snow-white face, came to her bed and begged for her things.

Li Mengmeng understands more and more what it means to be a thief, she has never done anything bad in her life, after the death of her friend, for some purpose, she took what originally belonged to her as her own, she thought it was seamless, but she still couldn't pass her own level.

Li Mengmeng got out of bed, poured herself a glass of water, and after drinking it, she felt a lot better.

Putting down the cup, he walked straight to the dresser, gently removed the corner of the dresser, fumbled for a while on the wall behind the table, and then pulled out a small drawer. It turns out that there is such a mystery behind this dresser, who would have thought that there would be something hidden here.

He took out a red box from the drawer and opened it, but inside was a small Buddha carved from jade.

The little Buddha is emerald green, adding a touch of green to this dark environment, and it is extraordinary at first glance.

Holding the little Buddha, Li Mengmeng's eyes showed a hint of infatuation, and then a faint sigh.

This little Buddha is a relic of her friend Li Mengxi, which was handed down by her ancestors, and it was passed on to men but not women.

When Li Mengxi was born, her mother gave her the Jade Buddha, and this Jade Buddha can be said to be her life. Every time Li Mengxi took out the Jade Buddha, he would tell her about the origin of the Jade Buddha and interesting things related to it.

These things contain bits and pieces of her and her mother, Li Mengmeng likes to listen to these stories, her parents died when she was a child, listening to the stories of Li Mengxi and her mother, she can find a trace of psychological comfort, through fantasy, substitute herself into the story, as if it is not Li Mengxi's story, but also her childhood memories.

Gradually, Li Mengmeng became more and more infatuated, until one day a month ago, she finally couldn't help it and borrowed the Jade Buddha from her friend, but Li Mengxi didn't even hesitate to play with her. But the next day, she was in a car accident and died.

Hearing the news, Li Mengmeng cried bitterly, the two of them have been classmates since junior high school, and they have never left in high school, college or even work, they have never given up, they eat and live together, and their relationship is closer than that of their sisters, but they didn't expect the bad news to come suddenly.

After Li Mengxi's funeral, when her mother came to pack her belongings, Li Mengmeng did not take out the Jade Buddha after a period of entanglement, Li Mengxi's mother asked, she only said that she didn't know, she guessed that Li Mengxi did not say anything about the Jade Buddha lent.

Sure enough, Mother Li did not suspect it, and after rummaging to no avail, she shed two drops in her eyes and left.

In this way, the gods did not know it, and the Jade Buddha was left behind by her. It's just that the guilt in her heart makes it difficult for her to sleep, and the nightmares are constantly disturbed. She knew that dreams were dreams after all, not real. But he also knew that if Li Mengxi really had the spirit in the sky, he would definitely ask for it.

Do you want to return it?

Li Mengmeng was also entangled for a while.

But in the end, the struggle also disappeared, and Li Mengmeng put the Jade Buddha back in the drawer.

The next day, Li Mengmeng ate breakfast casually and drove to work early. Along the way, she always felt uneasy, as if something was going to happen today.

Parked the car, Li Mengmeng walked into the company, and as soon as she entered the door, someone called her behind her, and when she looked back, it was Zheng Yun, a colleague from the company.

"Sister Li, come to work so early. Zheng Yun said.

"You're early, too. ”

"The superintendent has a meeting today, so I came early to prepare for the meeting. ”

The two of them got on the elevator as they spoke.

"Sister Li, your face hasn't been very good these days, isn't Mengxi's death relieved?"

At the mention of Li Mengxi, Li Mengmeng's heart tightened, and her heart was even more sulky, and she said casually: "No, it's just that there have been too many things in the company recently, and the pressure is too great." ”

After speaking, Li Mengmeng diverted the topic elsewhere, she really didn't want to hear the word "Li Mengxi" mentioned.

When she arrived at her office, Li Mengmeng sat on the office chair and was stunned. Half an hour later, when her colleagues were already busy, she was still motionless, her heart was unusually depressed, and her heart beat faster from time to time, as if something was really going to happen.

Li Mengmeng shook her head, wanting to get rid of the bad feelings, but unfortunately, it didn't work at all.

He stood up and went to make himself a cup of coffee. As soon as the coffee was brewed, Zheng Yun suddenly walked over.

"Sister Li, is someone looking for you at the door?"

"Oh, who?"

"It's a man in his twenties, he said his surname was Chen, and he didn't say anything else. ”

"Surname Chen, man, I don't know such a person. Li Mengmeng said. But she walked out with her coffee.

Chen Mengran stood outside the gate with some restraint, like a rural child who had just entered the city, looking at the decorations around the hall.

Although he grew up in a big city, this kind of large office building is the first time to come, and the white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes who walked by one made Chen Mengran envious.

"I graduated from university, so it would be nice to be able to work in a place like this. Chen Mengran thought secretly.

At that moment, I saw a woman with coffee walking out of it.

The man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he was wearing a white shirt, a short black skirt on his lower body, flesh-colored stockings on his legs, and black silk high heels.

The face is covered with heavy makeup, the skin is snow-white, and the blood-red lipstick is painted on the cherry mouth, which is very seductive.

"Is this the person?" Chen Mengran asked Li Mengxi secretly

Li Mengxi groaned and simply spit out two words.

"It's her. ”

Just two words, but with an inexplicable sense of complexity.

At this moment, Li Mengmeng had already walked in front of Chen Mengran.

"You're looking for me?"

"Yes. ”

"Who are you, what's the matter with me?"

Chen Mengran suddenly felt a trace of pressure. He took a deep breath and said what he had prepared last night.

"My name is Chen Mengran, and I am the cousin of your friend Li Mengxi. ”

syllable

The coffee cup fell out of his hand and fell to the ground and shattered.
