Chapter 21: Misdeeds
"Xiao Zhou, wake up, don't sleep!" In the midst of the stuckness, Zhou Hongxian felt someone tap her shoulder, she woke up suddenly, and then looked up.
"Huh?" The sight of a large bright ceiling, desks, chairs, and computers, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows and a constant stream of skyscrapers, are both familiar and unfamiliar.
Zhou Hongxian's brain was a little stuck, she turned her head to look at the computer in front of her, the black display screen reflected a delicate but plain face, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, touched her face up and down at the screen, and said in surprise: "Am I back in?" β
"Good girl, Xiao Zhou, I can't imagine you are still so narcissistic?" The voice was smiling, it sounded a little hoarse, but also a little familiar, Zhou Hongxian couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see a middle-aged man sitting next to him smiling at him, he was about thirty years old, with chicken-like hair, embarrassing stubble, and a dirty sweatshirt with his unbearable figure.
"Lao Wang?" Zhou Hongxian couldn't help but open his mouth wide. (Author's note: Lao Wang next door is a guest appearance by the author himself)
"You nerves, what are you doing when you see me making such a fuss?" The man opened his sleeve, pointed to an electronic watch with the word Rolex printed on his wrist and said: "Look, it's two o'clock in the afternoon, you still don't work hard, be careful of being caught by the boss and deduct your salary, don't say that I, a senior employee, didn't remind you when the time comes!" Then, he ignored Zhou Hongxian and turned his head to his keyboard and crackled.
"No, I-" Zhou Hongxian was still a little foggy.
"Don't say it, go to work! You say you're a single dog, and you don't want to get off your single all day, what's the point of daydreaming there? β
"Is it all a dream?" Throughout the afternoon, Zhou Hongxian was a little absent-minded, she, no, it should be said that he was at this time, was still puzzled, why the dream she had was so long, and the bits and pieces of more than 20 years were so real.
"Oh, it's finally six o'clock, and it's another fruitful day!" Lao Wang stretched, then put away his laptop, stuffed it into his backpack and said, "Hey, Xiao Zhou, why are you still in a daze here?" β
"Hey, it turned out to be a nightmare, it's good to wake up!" Zhou Hongxian said secretly in his heart, and suddenly he reacted: "What's the matter, Lao Wang?" β
"It's all off work, why don't you leave?"
"So fast?"
"Quick?" Lao Wang's eyes were a little unhappy, and he said, "You usually work overtime and are addicted, right?" β
"Hehe, no, I deserted too much just now!"
"Shhhh You fool, you're not afraid of being heard and reporting to your boss! β
Zhou Hongxian touched his head and smiled.
Lao Wang said again: "By the way, are you free tonight?" β
"Yes, what's the matter with you?"
Lao Wang thought that he shook his chicken nest-like hair in a chic manner, and said: "That's the case, my old classmate introduced me to a girl, that girl is very shy, saying that it is the first time to meet, and I want to bring her best friend with me, I think I seem to be a little disadvantaged to go to the appointment alone, and I must have been caught asking this and that, so I want to call you to give me strong morale!" β
"No, no! It's normal for girls to pair up, but it's weird if you call me! β
"It seems to be the same, okay, then I'll rehearse it myself!" After that, Lao Wang left alone with his bag, and when he left, he took out a photo and lowered his head and smiled: "Hey, it's a pity, the other girl seems to be single, and she is even more beautiful than the one introduced to me, if only she was introduced to me!" β
"Hey, wait, Wang!"
"What's the matter?" Lao Wang looked back in surprise.
"I'd better go with you!"
"Isn't that weird?"
"Good buddies, it's okay together!"
"Uh, that's fine! But let's say it, you and I will pay half of the bill! β
"Yes!"
Zhou Hongxian followed Lao Wang to take the elevator down the company building, and then the two of them got on Lao Wang's little electric donkey together.
"Ahh Lao Wang, even if you want to see your sister, you don't have to ride so fast! β
"I said Xiao Zhou, why do you scream like a girl?"
"Yes, yes?"
"Can't you hear it yourself? But it sounds quite emotional! Lao Wang laughed twice.
Zhou Hongxian closed his mouth and stopped talking, sitting on the little electric donkey, looking at the gorgeous street scene and colorful neon lights that retreated like a marquee, he couldn't help but feel how beautiful it was to return to the embrace of the modern city! He spoke: "Old Wang, do you know? How happy it is to live in modern times, to be a person, to be a man! β
Lao Wang was surprised: "Where did you get such feelings?" But I don't think so, anyway, I live like a bird every day, it's boring! β
"It's good to be bland!"
Lao Wang sighed: "What's good? You're younger than me, so you haven't been able to appreciate how tired it is to live with a dick like us! I finally bought a house, I want to provide for it, my work is not satisfactory, and I don't dare to resign indiscriminately, because the spare money on my body is not enough to live for half a year. And you have to think about buying a car, marrying a wife, raising children, if there is something bad at home, it is really impossible to say! Hey, once upon a time, I also wanted to be a beautiful man like the wind, to travel around the world, to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, to make thousands of beautiful women love me to death, and then by the way to maintain world peace, but now I only feel how naΓ―ve I was at that time! β
Unexpectedly, his emotion attracted Lao Wang's tirade, Zhou Hong now subconsciously brushed his hair with his hand, and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, what you said is indeed right, I still have the same dream as you!" But although there are many things that go wrong in reality, there are still beautiful things, just like this blind date, maybe we can have one of those two girls, and they are both true love, so I think I'm happier now! β
"I said why did you suddenly change your hexagram, it turns out that you hit this idea!" Lao Wang also laughed, and suddenly he wondered again: "Hey, why do you use the word 'more'?" β
"Nothing, nothing, misnomer! Hahahaha! Zhou Hongxian smiled very happily.
"Damn, it's raining!" Before Zhou Hongxian finished laughing, Lao Wang suddenly said this.
"It's raining?" Zhou Hongxian's brows furrowed, as if he had evoked some bad memory.
"Yes! What should I do if I don't bring an umbrella? β
"Then you can ride faster!"
"Okay! Damn, that Audi in front, you're rich, and you're shining on your grandfather with the high beams on! β
Zhou Hongxian heard this, and suddenly felt that the light in front of him was too dazzling, and his eyes couldn't open a little, so he subconsciously reached out to cover it.
"Lady, don't be shy, your smile just now is so beautiful!" Suddenly such an abrupt sentence came from his ears, Zhou Hongxian opened his eyes again, only to find that the surroundings were pitch black, and the only place where there was light was an oil lamp in front of him and an underbeaten face.
Zhou Hong was still in a stunned state, but a burst of cold suddenly hit his whole body, he couldn't help but tremble a few times in a row, and hugged his whole body tightly, he finally noticed the abnormality, so he looked down at his body by the light.
"How did I change back again, isn't this a dream?" Zhou Hongxian couldn't accept it for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that the one just now was a dream. Zhou Hongxian finally got her back, and at this moment, she couldn't help but hide her face and cry.
"Don't cry, lady, you're about to cry my heart!" The man in front of him said in a smooth tone.
"Who are you?" Although Zhou Hongxian hated this person's tone, he couldn't help but ask.
"I'm Yang Shouxin, lady, we met today!"
"You are Yang Shoucheng's younger brother?"
"Oh, the lady finally remembered me, I'm so happy!" Although Yang Shouxin is not ugly, and even a little handsome, he laughs very cheaply, so he feels annoying no matter how he looks at it.
Zhou Hongxian said coldly: "What are you doing here with me, do you want to kill me, a fox demon, to avenge your brother?" β
Yang Shouxin said with a smile on his face: "The lady misunderstood, although they all said that my brother was killed by you, but I absolutely don't believe it, I came here to save you this time!" β
"Get me out?" Zhou Hongxian was stunned, and then said, "Are you so kind? β
Yang Shouxin smiled: "Don't believe it, lady, I'll act immediately to show you!" After that, he didn't wait for Zhou Hongxian to reply, he stood up, picked up a hammer and began to pry the wooden plank on the top of the cage.
Zhou Hongxian was shocked in her heart, but she had no reason to refuse, so she planned to wait and see what happened.
In fact, the rain had already stopped, and Yang Shouxin didn't need an umbrella, he only needed to put the oil lamp aside to illuminate it, so he did his work quite neatly, and after a while, he dismantled several wooden planks on the top of the cage and threw them aside.
"Lady, you can stand up!" Yang Shouxin reached out and grabbed Zhou Hongxian's arm and helped her up, Zhou Hongxian lost his mana and strength, and squatted for several hours, at this time her lower plate was quite unstable, and she stumbled a little when she stood up.
Yang Shouxin's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly hugged her, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, lady, I'll take you out!" After that, without waiting for Zhou Hongxian's consent, he stopped her by the waist and picked her up.
Zhou Hongxian couldn't help but exclaim: "Where do you put it?" It turned out that although Yang Shouxin was holding her waist, one hand was inexplicably on her chest.
Yang Shouxin was also startled, he took Zhou Hongxian out of the cage, and shouted at her: "Don't shout, lady, I'm saving you, I just accidentally missed just now, please forgive me!" However, he looked at Zhou Hongxian, who was wet and curvy, and where could the desire in his eyes be hidden.
Zhou Hongxian is not so stupid, she guessed Yang Shouxin's purpose from the beginning, but this is also a great opportunity for her to get out, so she didn't say anything, only said: "I'm sorry, I blamed you!" β
"It's okay, it's okay! Lady, you're so wet, why don't you go back to the room with me and change your clothes! β
Zhou Hongxian's beautiful eyes flowed several times, and he said coquettishly: "I can't imagine that you are a good person in the entire Yanhe Town, I really don't know how to repay you!" β
Yang Shouxin's eyes were straight, and he smiled stupidly: "Lady, you want to repay, there is a chance!" β
"Hmm. Then before you take me back to my room, can you help me uncover the talisman on my back? β
"Yes, yes!" Yang Shouxin smiled and stretched out his hand to reveal the talisman on Zhou Hongxian's back, but suddenly his brain was excited, so he immediately stopped his hand, and at this time he turned back to look at Zhou Hongxian, and his stupid smile had turned into a lewd smile: "Lady, don't be in a hurry at this time!" Later, as long as you are willing to repay me and make me comfortable and satisfied, I will naturally remove the talisman for you! β
Zhou Hongxian felt that something was wrong, but she decided to try again, so she pretended to be coquettish and said: "No, this talisman is attached to me, it makes me so uncomfortable, can you help me?" β
However, Yang Shouxin didn't seem to be moved, but sneered: "Don't say that you goblin killed my eldest brother, and now you still want to harm me?" β
Zhou Hongxian's expression froze: "What do you mean?" β
Yang Shouxin's eyes showed a fierce light: "Don't think I'm stupid, the reason why you seduce me like this is nothing more than to trick me into revealing the talisman, so that your demonic power can be restored." But if I expose it, will I not die like my eldest brother? β
Zhou Hongxian knew that he couldn't be deceived, so he said, "Since you don't want to, then get out!" β
"Hehehehehe!" Yang Shouxin laughed very quietly, but very arrogantly, "I said the fox demon lady, I came to you, and before the goal was achieved, you want me to retreat, isn't it appropriate?" β
Zhou Hongxian glared at him angrily and said, "If you don't want to die like Yang Shoucheng, you can try!" β
Yang Shouxin's expression changed, he was actually not sure whether the Dao Fu was really as powerful as Xuan Chongzi said, so he was in a dilemma for a while, but he carefully observed Zhou Hongxian for a while, and saw that she was a little shaky, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart: "It seems that what the Dao Chief said is true!" Thinking of it, he immediately rushed towards Zhou Hongxian, and then directly picked her up by the waist.
Zhou Hongxian was frightened and angry, she slammed Yang Shouxin's head and said, "You let me down, let me go!" β
However, this bit of strength was simply an itch for Yang Shouxin, but the shouting was a little troublesome, so he put one of his hands around Zhou Hongxian's neck and covered her mouth, and said with a hideous face: "You fox demon, what good is it for you to wake up others?" β
Then he smiled lewdly: "You are just a fox, don't pretend to be a chaste martyr with me, although my eldest brother was killed by you at the beginning, but I think he should be extremely amorous before he dies, if you don't want to suffer too much tonight, just give me all the fox tricks you used to my eldest brother in bed!" β
After that, he didn't even bother to mention the oil lamp, and hurriedly hugged Zhou Hongxian into his room when he felt the darkness.
