The Silent Man (Part I)
"I don't understand what you mean."
After Yu Siqi wrapped the bath towel around his body, he looked at Xie Baozhen, who was not suspicious at all, and said.
"Aren't you able to manipulate time? Then you should know exactly what time it is! ”
Xie Baozhen took away all the clothes he had changed in front of him, leaving only the pocket watch. Then she walked in with a clean set of pajamas and said.
"What's the matter?"
Yu Siqi checked the time and found that it was almost one o'clock in the morning, no wonder Xie Baozhen was angry with herself.
After realizing that it was her own problem, Yu Siqi hurriedly apologized to the other party, which made her face soften.
"Rest early, and remember to turn off the lights."
Xie Baozhen didn't say anything, but turned around and left.
After she left, Yu Siqi hurriedly put on her pajamas, picked up her pocket watch, and walked out lightly.
Before he goes back to his room, of course, and goes to bed. He still followed her instructions and turned off all the lights that were still on.
This night, Yu Siqi had no dreams.
The next morning, Yu Siqi, who was still sleeping, was awakened by a dazzling sunlight. His subconscious knew that it was because the curtains had been pulled open, but he had apparently not guessed that the person who had done it would be Father Ann.
After all, according to his previous knowledge, the priest usually didn't care how late he got up.
"I'm sorry to wake you up, I hope I didn't ruin your dreams."
Father An looked at Yu Siqi with a smile, and the sunlight behind him became his back, making him look so solemn and sacred at this moment.
"I'm not dreaming."
Yu Siqi tried to sit up, but found that the attraction of the pillow to his head was still so strong. He subconsciously turned around, so as not to continue to be hit by the bright light on his face.
"Then you must have slept soundly."
Father Ann smiled and moved a chair and sat down beside him.
"If the curtains aren't drawn, it is." Yu Siqi tried to close his eyes, but found that it was difficult to continue sleeping at this moment. So he simply asked, "The priest came to me so early, could it be that he wanted to talk to me?" ”
"Not really, it's just that I suddenly want to go out and do something, and I hope to have an assistant willing to accompany me. But looking at your posture, it seems that you are still planning to get some sleep. Since that's the case, then I have to ask Agui if he is willing. ”
When Father An left the chair, Yu Siqi also sat up suddenly.
The latter looked at Father Ann and asked, "What do you want to go out for?" ”
"If you want to know, come with me." Father Ann glanced at his watch and said, "I can give you fifteen minutes to prepare." For breakfast, Ah Zhen has already prepared it for you. ”
"Fifteen minutes? More than enough! ”
Yu Siqi got out of bed quickly, and under the watchful eye of Father An, ran to the bathroom and began to wash up normally.
After he was busy with his basic physiological needs, he walked briskly to the hall, picked up a scallion pancake, and took a big bite of it.
Probably when Siqi had eaten almost enough, Father Ann came to his side and said to him, "Although there are still a few minutes before the appointed time, you don't need to be in such a hurry. Because I seem to have forgotten to tell you, we have to wait for Ah Zhen to come back from grocery shopping before we can go out. ”
"Then why didn't you say it earlier, Father!"
Yu Siqi put the half-drunk soy milk back, and stuffed his mouth with food.
"I admit that I was worried that if I had told you the truth in the first place, you might not have been so 'positive'."
Father Ann confessed his reasons, which were almost 'invulnerable' in Siqi's view. Indeed, if the priest had really informed him of this, he would have delayed it for a while, if only for a while.
Just when Siqi slowly put the rest of the food into his mouth, the door was slammed open.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Baozhen, who was carrying a large bag, walked in.
Seeing this, Father Ann hurriedly came over to help her unload the things one by one, and casually asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”
"As before, everyone has additional concerns about the fact that we don't know when martial law will be lifted." As soon as Xie Baozhen finished speaking, he said to Yu Siqi, who was still eating, "You are really the same as the priest said before, wake up as soon as you scream." ”
"If your curtains are drawn, I'm sure you won't be able to sleep either."
Yu Siqi wiped his mouth with a tissue and said.
"Don't you know I don't have curtains in my bedroom?"
Xie Baozhen rolled her eyes and began to move the bagged ingredients to the kitchen.
"I haven't been in before, how can I know?"
Yu Siqi muttered quietly.
"Now that Zhen is back, I ask if you need to take a break?"
Fr. Ann asked.
"I don't need to."
Yu Siqi touched his stomach and felt that it should not have reached the point of eating.
"Then wait for me here for a while, I'll change my clothes and leave."
Father Ann turned and went up to the second floor, and closed the door in a rare presence with Yu Siqi.
When the priest came down again, Yu Siqi found that the priest had actually put on his dress and robe for a long time, and there was a pendant made of sterling silver around his neck.
"Dressed so ceremoniously, is the priest planning to officiate at the wedding?"
Yu Siqi asked casually.
"Nowadays, wedding officiants are usually officiated with a celebrant, and not many people go to a 'clergy' like me. Besides, it's unlikely that you'll see other clergy in Sinsong. When the church learned that it was cursed, they had already abandoned it. ”
Father An strode out, followed by Yu Siqi.
Then Yu Siqi saw a blackened business car, which was parked behind the rocks not far away.
When they approached, the door opened, and the driver who was sitting inside turned to Father Ann and said, "You really made me wait for a while, Father." ”
"No way. You can't expect a person who falls asleep just after 1 a.m. to follow the good habit of 'going to bed early and waking up early'. ”
Father Ann sat in the passenger seat and closed the door. This is where he usually sits, and it's where the big guys almost default to him.
After Yu Siqi also got into the car, Father An solemnly introduced them: "This is my new student, his name is Yu Siqi, he is a good boy who is smart and sensible. And this kind-hearted person who is willing to take us out to run errands is called a silent person. Of course, I remember you used to be called Verbatim, right? ”
"Is the Silencer a profession?"
Yu Siqi couldn't help but ask, the car had already started at this time.
"Career? No, I'd rather you understand it as a 'responsibility'. ”
The silent man named Weibao, said.
