After Lin Nu left, Gong Xin saw that there was no one in the store, so he took out a book from under the counter and looked at it.

Ye Chen used the hot water from the water dispenser to make himself a cup of black tea, and when he saw Gong Xin's brows tightly locked, he looked pained, so he asked casually, "What are you looking at?" So painful. ”

Gong Xin let out a long sigh of relief, as if something she had been waiting for had finally appeared, she raised the book and said in a weak tone: "An English novel." ”

Ye Chen sneered and said, "What is this for, don't look at it if you don't want to see it." Suddenly, she thought of God, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember, you are planning to take the TOEFL, how are you preparing?" ”

Gong Xin threw the book on the table and said, "It's still early, no, I'm tutoring." ”

Ye Chen said: "By reading novels? I've heard that this is a great way to make learning English more fun. ”

"More fun?" Gong Xin pursed his lips and said, "I really don't feel it, at most I can only say that it is not so boring and boring." Generally speaking, for most people, with the exception of a very few people with unusual talents, learning is not a joyful thing, and it won't, I obviously belong to the majority. ”

Ye Chen said with a smile: "It's a bit pessimistic to say this. ”

Gong Xin rubbed his eyebrows and said: "According to the laws of thermodynamics, the entropy of the entire universe has been increasing, simply put, it is becoming more and more chaotic, but learning itself is an orderly thing, which is the opposite of the laws of the universe. ”

Ye Chen retorted: "This is not necessarily, when you fully realize how much benefit learning can bring, you will get a sense of satisfaction in the learning process, and this satisfaction is enough to become a permanent and powerful motivation." ”

Gong Xin shook his head and said, "This is a kind of self-deception and hypnosis, the human will can only deceive instinct, but it cannot completely change it. ”

Gong Xin is a thoughtful and assertive girl, she has her own views and opinions on everything, Ye Chen has graduated for a few years, and she also has some social experience, and the two of them often have this kind of debate, which can be regarded as an active brain.

Just when the two were chatting, Lin Nian came in, carrying a big milky yellow environmental bag in his hand. Seeing Gong Xin, Lin Nian's expression was a little stunned, but he quickly recovered his naturalness and said, "Xiao Xin is also here, come, let's eat." Although Lin Nian's face was smiling, he always felt a little unnatural.

Ye Chen took the bag and looked at it, and knew what was wrong: Lin Nian didn't know that Gong Xin was here, so he didn't prepare it for her at all, more or less meals were secondary, they were all girls, and it was dinner, and they couldn't eat much, so they could always give Gong Xin a little evenly, but the trouble was that Lin Nian only brought two tableware, and this couldn't be even.

In the end, Ye Chen took out the thermos cup and said, "I'll go to the breakfast shop next to me to borrow a bowl and chopsticks." ”

Gong Xin glanced at Ye Chen a little strangely, only the food has no dishes and chopsticks? But she didn't think about it, just nodded and said, "Oh, okay." ”

After borrowing the dishes and chopsticks, the three girls began to eat, the staple food was rice, and there was only one dish - a large plate of chicken.

Ye Chen tasted a chicken nugget and exclaimed: "Yes, Nian, I didn't expect you to cook Sichuan cuisine, and you do it so well." ”

Gong Xin's cheeks bulged, nodded and agreed: "Yes, not only is it well done, but it is also very authentic, if you don't live here for a few years, it is difficult to do such an authentic one." ”

Lin Nian said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just like to cook, I think about it myself." ”

Gong Xin pulled down the dish and said, "I didn't expect it to be a big rooster." ”

Ye Chen asked curiously, "How do you know this is a big rooster?" ”

Gong Xin said: "I spent my childhood in my hometown in the countryside, I am very familiar with these chickens, ducks and geese, and so on. ”

Ye Chen said: "I have also heard of this statement, it is said that it is because the rooster crows and the sky is bright, and after the sun appears, the evil spirits retreat, and after a long time, those evil spirits are afraid of the rooster, and it retreats as soon as it crows." ”

Recalling the happy times of childhood, a sweet smile appeared on Gong Xin's face, and said: "It's quite interesting to think about, when I was in my hometown, there were not as many toys and amusement parks in the city, but there were a lot of fun things, but unfortunately I transferred to the city when I was in junior high school." ”

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Don't say that, if you really want to stay in the countryside all the time, you will be annoyed." ”

Gong Xin thought for a while and said, "That's right, by the way, Sister Chen, do you know a girl named Zhao Xi?" ”

"It's a bit of an impression when I hear the name, let me think about it." Ye Chen put down the dishes and chopsticks, went around in his mind, and said, "I remember, she came to me to buy a gift, it's a music box, what's wrong?" ”

Gong Xin said: "She is very good now, her boyfriend is tall and handsome, she is on the basketball team, and she is very gentle and polite, not as rough as some people who study sports, and the most important thing is that she also spoils Zhao Xi very much, which is really enviable when you think about it." ”

Ye Chen said in agreement: "It's quite enviable, but...... What does this have to do with me? ”

Gong Xin explained: "Didn't Zhao Xi buy a gift from you? That thing played a big role. ”

"Oh, that's right." Ye Chen didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to eat, "It's good, isn't the gift that plays this role?" ”

Gong Xin looked at Ye Chen with a little money fan look and said: "The key is that many students now believe that they can harvest sweet love by buying a love gift here, this is the news I just heard, I think we should enter a batch of gifts about love, and if you get it right, you can make more money, I just want to change the computer." ”

Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." ”

After eating, there were more customers in the store, Ye Chen and Gong Xin were about to start getting busy, Lin Nian packed up her things and went back, she still had to clean up.

Early in the morning, at twelve o'clock, the sleeping Lin Nian opened her eyes, she carefully looked at the direction of the bedroom, and Ye Chen should have fallen asleep at this time. Lin Nian crept out of bed, took out the two small boxy boxes he had carried with him, and placed them on the table. Looking at these two boxes, Lin Nian looked sad, she opened one of them, and inside was a human head.

Lin Nian gently stroked the human head, her grief turned into firmness, she held her head between her hands, twisted it hard, twisted her head off, put it on the table, took out the human head in the box, and pressed it on her neck.

At that moment, the bedroom door was locked.
