"So there's such a service as capture,......" I sighed.

Lin Xinru patted her thigh vigorously: "I'm about to be laughed to death by Lao Yan, my face is numb!" ”

Halu, who was sitting in the back row, looked at the photo of Yan Yunhai on his mobile phone and laughed until he burst into tears.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was all up to Lin Xin to dare to get out of the haunted house to complete the task, and everyone who was trapped was able to escape. As soon as we got together and didn't say a few words, we were horrified after seeing each other again, when the staff guided us to the computer screen where the snapshot was kept.

The haunted house has set up small cameras in subtle corners to capture the frightened faces of its guests. Among the 6 of us, Yan Yunhai was the most photographed, and his expression in the photo was completely broken, especially a photo of his eyes widening and tears and snot bubbles being scared out can be taken out directly and used as comic material.

At everyone's request, the staff gave each of us a copy of our mobile phone.

"Anyway, I didn't photograph you two at all, where were you locked up later?" Ruby Lin looked at me and looked back at Halu.

Halu and I chose to be silent at the same time.

It's better to say that I didn't get photographed.

"It's so boring, I originally planned to scare you tonight, but I scared Yan enough." I coughed and digressed.

The air was filled with joy again.

"Halu, you're pretty stupid too, you've played it once and you can get lost." Ruby Lin turned around and complained about Halu with a smile.

Looking at Halu from the rearview mirror. Maybe it's the street lamp, she looked out the car window with a kind of delicate and charming begonia red on her face, and the curve of the corners of her mouth was beautiful.

Why did that hug happen? Did it really happen? I'm not sure. That embrace of uncertainty may have an uncertain force of unknown meaning that proppels us towards an uncertain future.

It has been said that people are afraid of the future precisely because of uncertainty.

And I think that perhaps this power will lead to a future that makes us braver because of the variety of possibilities that exist in uncertainty.

After sending Halu away, Ruby Lin asked for my opinion with a worried face: "Zi Che, isn't Halu a little weird tonight?" ”

"I guess it's because I'm still arguing with my boyfriend." I said perfunctorily.

Lin Xinru stared at me, her eyes narrowed into a crack: "You are not normal tonight either." What the hell is wrong with you two? Recruit truthfully! ”

"Recruit you. It's normal for your head to be a little foggy because of lack of sleep, right? I don't know which guy had to drag me to play the game until late at night last night! "I lied with a weak heart.

"You're not confused at all when you're arguing with me right now."

"If you don't fight with me, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep."

"Do you want to come to my house and sleep? My daughter-in-law is not at home either. ”

"Don't."

"My bed is big and comfortable......"

"You girl!"

"Hahaha!" We both laughed at the same time.

"Rest and recuperate tonight, tomorrow's rehearsal will definitely surprise Mr. Jiang, I have this confidence."

"Not a compliment?"

"Absolutely not."

"You're the only one left in the world who thinks I can."

"I'm sure customers will love it too."

And what I like is that the customer's guests like it, that's all.

Back in the empty home, for some reason, not a single light was turned on.

Looking at the lights in my neighbor's house in the dark living room, I woke up my phone repeatedly. Constantly looking at Halu's avatar on the communication software, the thousand words, the ups and downs, the joys and sorrows, all the grandeur and wonder of this world are typed and eliminated in the sending box, until the lights with different color temperatures and brightness on the opposite side of the floor-to-ceiling window are turned off one after another, and finally only a red warning light shining like breath on the top of the mountain in the distance remains.

I took the whiskey out of the fridge, sat cross-legged on the wooden floor, poured it into my glass and drank it dry, quietly reading the red breath of the great lighthouse.

The next day.

After Jiang Bailing added the last few revisions, she called me to her office.

The collarless silk shirt ironed flat retains just the right amount of lightness in the space between her limbs, bringing out her mature and graceful posture; A silk scarf smudged with ink was tied crookedly on her shoulders, making her look particularly solemn and calm today.

She pulled out a slender lady's cigarette, inserted it into a filter mouthpiece with silver wax at the front and back, lit it and savored it.

"Smoke one, stay with me."

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled crookedly, "I'm sorry, I'm trying to quit smoking." ”

Jiang Bailing looked at me like a living mammoth.

"I'm sorry." I had to apologize again.

"Hmm...... I was just wondering who had so much energy to make Deng Ziche make up his mind to quit smoking. ”

"I didn't make up my mind, and the result was probably a failure, I guess, just try it first, I don't have much perseverance for this."

She drew a delicate tick upwards with the corner of her seductive eye: "It's been a great progress." ”

She nodded and gracefully flicked the ashes of her cigarette: "How are you prepared for tomorrow's exchange meeting?" ”

"I didn't expect anything special."

"What do you know about the actions of the other 9 companies?"

I shook my head: "I haven't had time to ask anyone lately. ”

"Pay attention to the creativity of Zhongshi, it seems that there are a lot of new recruits because of this project." Jiang Bailing flipped through her phone.

"Well, Ye Hao's style has always been, as long as he makes a move, he looks like he is determined to win."

"It's not okay to care too much about winning or losing."

"If Ye Hao understands this truth, it won't be Ye Hao."

"I'm talking about you." She pursed her lotus lipstick and looked at me with a smile.

"Huh?"

"You know I never blamed you, and I also think that little black kid is a pity."

If you really think it's a pity, Xiao Hei won't leave!!

"Zi Che?"

"Well, I see what you mean."

"Let's go back to Yaoxuan when this case is over, Halu has been well taken by you."

I frowned and watched the waves on the surface of the sea outside my window.

"Okay, you go get busy first, and get off work early when you're done."

I turned and walked out.

That's when - "Zi Che, thank you. ”

I stopped.

"Thank you for taking them out last night, it's been a long time since Yaoxuan's people have been so happy." Jiang Bailing said to me clearly almost without emotion.

Staring at Halu after correcting the details on the KV, he called her off work, and we both stayed silent about what happened in the secret room last night as if we were fulfilling some kind of contract.

When everyone was gone, I double-checked the doors and windows, and went straight from the passenger elevator to the underground garage.

"Deng Deng!" As soon as the car door was opened, the tower-like Lin Xinru suddenly appeared from behind the car with the bouncing Halu.

"Damn, you two want to scare me to death!"

"Hahahaha, it's Mr. Lin's idea, saying that he will scare you today!" Halu patted me on the shoulder, "Don't be so stingy, being teased by a cute colleague once in a while is also a necessary means to strengthen the team's feelings." ”

Ruby Lin's face smiled like the folds on a blooming bun.

"Neuropathy. I can't send you both home today, I'll have to go to the supermarket to buy it later. Civilians occasionally take buses and subways to contribute to world peace, and do their duty and obligation as civilians, thank you. ”

They looked at each other with bad intentions.

"What are you two going to do?"

In the supermarket, Ruby Lin and Halu are completely immersed in the excitement and fantasy of hosting a party.

"Don't throw anything in the cart anymore, I'm the one pushing the cart!" I pointed to the shopping cart in front of me, which had been piled up with a small mountain of goods, and complained to Ruby Lin.

"Stingy~" Halu grimaced, then threw another bag of spicy strips into the car.

"Stingy!" Ruby Lin mimicked Halu's tone and expression.

"You'd better settle your own things, so I won't settle your account together!"

"Stingy~" The two said in unison.

"Deng Deng, will you make grilled shrimp tonight?" When Ruby Lin went to pick up wine, Halu walked beside me and asked.

"That's right, didn't you want to eat seafood yesterday, and crabs can be eaten tonight."

"Then I don't want to drink tonight, what can I drink with seafood?"

"Is it okay to be cold?"

"No problem at all, can I order a smoothie if I can?" Halu's eyes lit up.

I took a case of mountain spring water, sparkling soda, and a few bottles of elderflower soda. "It's not too much to ask." I patted her on the forehead.
