At night, at the subway entrance of a remote suburb of Linshi, the bustling office workers finally returned to their nest from the magnificent high-end office building, and a young man walked in the crowd, wearing Sony's entry monitor headphones, a Tissot mechanical watch, and an ordinary suit, which were the most valuable items on his body, his name was Qin Yiyi. Like most office workers, try to dress up their beautiful appearance, wear small luxury items, want to express the pursuit of quality of life, occasionally go to the bar with friends, and everything seems to be on the way in a semi-successful life, but in fact, several credit cards are close to overdraft, and the fluctuation of wages has caused Qin Yiyi to be unable to maintain his income and expenditure normally, he is a little exhausted, and Hao Yun's life is in the headphones, and he wants to live freely, but the reality is on the verge of collapse. He looked at the time on his phone, it was close to ten o'clock, the last train of the subway was always full, and most of these young people living in the city were confused about the future and could not see hope.

The weather turned cooler, Qin Yiyi changed the subway twice, and walked for twenty minutes before returning to his home on the outskirts of Donglin City.

Open the door, a bed, a wardrobe, a yoga mat, a computer, a person.

Qin Yiyi took off his suit and took off the badge that read: "Peach Blossom Source Ancient Style Photography, Gold Medal Planner: Qin Yiyi", "What a planner, it's just a salesperson, and now any job has to be a high-level reputation that others can't understand." Qin Yiyi smiled bitterly in his heart, since graduating from college, he has been working in the photo studio, from wedding photography to children's photography, and then to the ancient style photography that has just emerged this year, Qin Yiyi has not changed industries, and he can't say why, he always feels that he should be in this industry, especially ancient photography, he has always had an inexplicable feeling for ancient costumes, as if he saw those clothes, there are some memories hidden in them, an indescribable sense of belonging.

The daily performance goals and pressure washed away Qin Yiyi's scattered thoughts, overtime is the norm, today I only did two thousand performances, converted into wages, plus the basic salary is 140 yuan, rent plus eating and smoking, there is almost nothing left, and I have to pay off debts, Qin Yiyi is a part-time worker, he is 26 years old this year, where are the early days?

He shook his head, put these thoughts behind him, took a shower and swiped his phone, and then lay down to rest.

Qin Yiyi has been in a dream recently, dreaming of a broken city wall, on which stood a person, wearing ancient imperial clothes, although embarrassed, but the emperor's spirit is undoubtedly revealed, so that Qin Yiyi is in awe, but familiar, every time he dreams of this, the dream begins to blur, in a vague way, he feels that the man pulled him, standing on the wall of the high mountain, and talked for a long time, as for what he said, he can no longer remember, repeat it too much, Qin Yiyi can remember more moments when he dreams in his mind, but every day when he wakes up, he forgets it, and only remembers a dream。

After a groggy dream, Qin Yiyi was woken up by a noisy sound, it turned out to be the alarm clock in the morning, Qin Yiyi skillfully turned off the alarm clock, and continued to sleep a lot, when the fifth alarm clock rang, he sat up with a bang, washed and skincare, did hairstyling spray, put on a watch, put on a suit, and went out to work with a loaf of bread.

Squeezing past the subway in the morning rush hour, he has a new song he has just found in his headphones, and the new melody is the source of his daily vitality. When he arrived at the site, he was sprinting, Qin Yiyi followed the large army, almost all of them were sales or unit employees in suits and uniforms, Qin Yiyi felt a little embarrassed at the beginning, especially when he looked at those girls running in high heels, the "stepping" sound made by the heel and the floor colliding and rubbing, and the shaking of his chest, he always felt that these girls were a little pitiful, and he had the impression that the girls should be quiet and graceful. But then after he worked for a long time, he found that these girls were the group of opposite sex that he respected the most, and when he ran to the company again, he no longer felt ashamed, but a sense of identity and pride, because we have all run to change lives.

At 8:54, Qin Yiyi hit the card at this point almost every day, and he didn't want to be one point earlier or one point late.

At 9 o'clock, the morning meeting started on time, the store manager spoke, and then there were various problems crackling, and finally dancing, which has become a kind of culture in this company. After the morning meeting, there was also a departmental meeting, and then the retelling of various problems crackled, and after setting goals and punishments, Qin Yiyi finally had to rest for a while.

He sat on the sofa on the computer desk and began to prepare for the arrival of the customer, he previewed the photos of today's guests, and found that his luck had been quite low recently, and after looking at the photos, he knew that the satisfaction would not be too good, and he could only rely on himself and luck. Qin Yiyi's job is to select the photos taken for the customers of the photo studio, of course, it belongs to sales, and he eats by performance, and whether the customer adds money or not is related to Qin Yiyi's salary, so every day he will look at the photos of the customers first, looking for a good chat and atmosphere.

When Qin Yiyi browsed the photo of the second customer, it seemed to be a college student, ordinary, but the costume she was wearing deeply attracted Qin Yiyi, it was a set of dragon robes, and the girl wore it as a reverse string, which was not gorgeous, but the nine dragons embroidered on the clothes deeply attracted Qin Yiyi, and the inexplicable familiarity made him interested, it was estimated that it was a new costume, because Qin Yiyi saw it for the first time.

The next work was as Qin Yiyi expected, the first guest did not feel very good about the photos, but after Qin Yiyi's praise and opinion on the packaging and photos of the photography teacher, and took the initiative to help the customer delete some of the photos, the customer had trust in Qin Yiyi, because Qin Yiyi had a beautiful face and gave people a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals, coupled with the service of the photography teacher and the staff in the process, so that the customer finally paid the bill, after the manager's negotiation, the transaction was 6000 yuan, Qin Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief, most of today's goal was completed, because of that costume, he was more and more looking forward to the arrival of the second customer。

The second guest was twenty minutes late, and finally came, Qin Yiyi enthusiastically introduced himself, Qin Yi kept chatting with the guest when browsing the photos, but this time Qin Yiyi didn't chat with a purpose as usual, he didn't dig up the customer's information, he asked the customer more about how he felt when he wore this costume, and why he chose this costume, the customer just replied that it was recommended by the makeup teacher, and the photo reaction to the costume was also mediocre, only Qin Yiyi himself was particularly interested.

When he finished selecting the film, Qin Yiyi felt a little puzzled, could it be that there was a problem with his own aesthetics? So he pulled his colleague Chen Ying, who happened to be idle, over to see the costume.

"What do you think of this costume? It's the first time I've seen it, it feels so special!" Qin Yiyi asked.

"Okay, it may be new, but it's not as special as you say. Chen Ying replied with a smile, because she saw the photo of the girl wearing this costume and reversed, a little stiff, especially a few movements that were particularly funny, which made Chen Ying laugh out loud, Qin Yiyi and Chen Ying They are professionally trained, and they generally don't laugh at the photos of customers, unless they can't help it.

But Qin Yiyi's eyes kept stopping at the costume, he flipped through the photos of the customers, and counted how many embroidered dragons there were, but because it was only a photo, he only counted about 6 dragons, two on each sleeve, one on the back, and the skirt was divided into three sleeves, one for each, but Qin Yiyi tacitly agreed in his heart that there were nine dragons in this costume.

Qin Yiyi didn't give up, and called a male colleague Luo Feng to his selection room, and the answer given by the male colleague was the same, there was nothing special, just like ordinary clothes, it may be that everyone sees ancient costumes every day at work, so they are immune to these clothes, Qin Yiyi can only comfort himself like this. When he and his colleagues walked out of the private room, Chen Ying was sitting at the table in the hall of the film selection department, and when she saw Qin Yi pulling Luo Feng in, she knew that he was asking about the costume, and she also heard the conversation in the private room in the hall,

"Why are you so interested in that costume?" asked Chen Ying.

"I don't know, it's just an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Qin replied one by one.

"Haha, then you might as well take a look at that outfit now and see what's going on. Chen Ying said.

"Yes, how did I forget!" Chen Ying's words reminded Qin Yiyi, he came to the costume room, but he didn't see the costume, Qin Yiyi asked a dress master who was collecting the costume, "Where did our new costume go?" It was the one with embroidery, the one with nine dragons. ”

"Nine dragons? Nine dragons don't have it, it's just that there's a new set of costumes for shooting, there are six dragons, and we didn't notice this suit before, and we came to sort out the costumes after the break last week, so I saw it, maybe it was forgotten before. ”

The gown master replied by arranging the clothes again.

"Six, are you sure there are only six?" Qin Yiyi thought that it was just a photo before, and he missed some details.

"Yes, there are only six, when I was sorting out the costumes and accessories, and when I was changing the clothes for the guests, I looked at them, and there were really only six. ”

Hearing the dress master's answer, Qin Yiyi was even more puzzled, why were there only six? But he had always thought it was nine? Is it just an illusion that he was so interested in this costume? Qin Yiyi must figure out this question.

Because the guests were filming and his guests were full today, Qin Yiyi decided to escape the monthly meeting at night and sneak over to the clothing room to take a look, he was a little impatient and couldn't wait for tomorrow.

The guests at night were also very face-saving, he was a chronic person, looking at the photos over and over again, and Qin Yiyi didn't guide him too much, because he wanted to wait until after the moon meeting at eight o'clock to finish the selection, so that he could sneak over.

When the monthly meeting in the store started and everyone went to the meeting, Qin Yiyi guided the guests to give the guests some suggestions for deletion, and the guests were almost selected, and Qin Yiyi didn't go to the manager to talk about it with ten more photos, and sent the guests away after receiving 800 yuan, and today's performance goals were also completed.

Qin Yiyi walked out of the selection room and sent the guests out of the door, the store was empty, only the young lady at the front desk was settling accounts, he sneaked to the clothing room on the second floor, the clothing room did not turn on the lights, but Qin Yiyi walked straight to the clothing that day, only the light in the makeup department hall gave the clothing room a little light, his feeling became stronger and stronger, Qin Yiyi slowly unzipped the clothing set, he became more and more excited, so that his hands trembled a little. When he touched the dragon robe, his body couldn't help but shiver, as if he had been electrocuted. He gently stroked every inch of the dragon robe, like an old friend. Then Qin Yi counted the dragons on his clothes one by one, one by two, three by three... But no matter how you count, there are only six, and he even turned the dragon robe inside out, and there are still only six, which makes Qin Yiyi's doubts even greater, "No, why are there only six, it should be nine." Qin Yi thought it in pieces, he didn't even realize how he said this, Qin Yi dragged the dragon robe to the mirror, looked at it carefully, he didn't turn on the light, because he was afraid that others would find out that he didn't go to the moon meeting. When Qin Yi looked at the dragon robe in the mirror one by one, he suddenly raised his head and saw what he looked like in the mirror, which made him suddenly have an urge to wear this dragon robe?
