Chapter 39: The Shaver

When he came back last night, it was very late, and today Lin Chen slept all day, When he got up, it was already afternoon, he sat up in his clothes and stretched his waist lazily.

Leaning on the head of the bed, Lin Chen was stunned for a long time.

Recalling the strange experience last night, as well as the terrible woman's face in the well, Lin Chen's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. After coming back last night, he never mentioned to Xu Aqi that he saw the face of the woman in the well.

He knew that Xu Aqi liked to be curious, but she was just a woman after all, the magic prophecy of the fortune teller in Yunfu Temple, the back of the man squatting on the ground and burning the paper, and the laughter of the woman at night had tormented her to the point that she often had insomnia, and then told her about the terrible face of the woman in the well, could her little heart withstand it? Still an unknown!

Not to mention Xu Aqi, he is just a man, if he continues to be tortured endlessly, he will go crazy!

But he believed that he was a rational man! Compared to others, he has a stronger heart to support overcoming fear, and he will definitely be able to solve all kinds of mysteries!

Just give him time!

Xu Aqi had already left and went back to the company to do errands.

Lin Chen's gaze was fixed on the red photo frame on the table, the photo was taken by Yunfu Temple, and Xu Aqi was looking at him with a smile after removing the strange blue light.

Women are women after all, and Xu Aqi's arrival made Lin Chen's chaotic room suddenly refreshed, which made Lin Chen much happier.

While washing, he stood in front of the mirror for a long time, carefully observing himself in the mirror. Thinking about the last time, his inexplicably lengthened shape in this mirror, and the shadow of the woman that appeared faintly later, Lin Chen felt that white hair was sweating on his back.

Are you really entangled in something?

Why do you always feel like something is wrong?

And, that thing seems to be everywhere!

In the subway, in the mirror, in the well, even in the air ...

The self in the mirror is quite normal, not shortened, nor lengthened. The skin on his face has a few more sunburns, and the hawthorn is thicker than before, and if he doesn't shave it, he will become Wu Xiubo.

Lin Chen turned his face sideways, stroked a chin with his own beard, wet it with water, took beard balm from the shelf above the washbasin, and a razor, applied it evenly, and then gently shaved it, from top to bottom, from left to right, in the order of beard growth, so that the longer beard could be shaved cleanly.

Lin Chen has repeated this action for more than 20 years, and he is familiar with it.

Today, though, he felt that his movements were a bit stiff.

The blade of the razor slashed at his face frequently, and if he hadn't dodged in time, there would have been many cuts from time to time.

Something seems to be wrong!

Realizing this, Lin Chen stopped what he was doing.

What's the problem?

If you haven't shaved for a few days, you won't shave?

Razor is not good to use?

Lin Chen has always used this old-fashioned razor, mainly because he is used to it. When electric shavers were first popular on the market, Lin Chen bought and used them, and they always clamped their beards, which hurt and hurt. Since then, Lin Chen has had a kind of resistance to electric shavers, so he picked up the previous razor again, and he has been using it for more than ten years.

Of course, the biggest disadvantage of this old-fashioned razor is that it is easy to scratch people, and accidentally making a cut is normal in Lin Chen's opinion. However, it is rare for small accidents to occur so frequently as they do today.

Maybe it's caused by being thinking about things in my head all the time and being absent-minded!

Half of his beard was shaved, Lin Chen picked up the razor again and shaved more carefully.

After adjusting his mood and relaxing, the effect of shaving was different, much smoother than before, and finally after shaving the last beard, Lin Chen looked at himself in his glasses with satisfaction.

Lin Chen turned on the faucet and was about to rinse off the foam on his cheeks, but found that he couldn't help but pick up the razor and put it on his neck.

For a moment, it didn't seem to pass through his brain.

But with a razor on his neck, the too terrifying picture in this mirror suddenly made Lin Chen think of a word - suicide by cutting his throat.

Why put a razor to your neck!

He was stunned for a moment, his hand suddenly released like an electric shock, and the razor fell to the ground with a "snap".

Every time, Lin Chen would only rinse and clean up the razor after all the washing was done! He has been like this for more than ten years! This order is never missed! It's not just about shaving, but for many things, Lin Chen has maintained the habit of tidying up together at the end.

But this time, it's an exception!

Why did you put your hand on the razor again? This was a bit of a puzzle for him. This is not in line with his usual habits.

He felt as if a force was pulling his hand and making this motion.

But, just as if! It was only a moment, too fast to pass, and he couldn't be entirely sure whether this strange action was due to external or internal causes! No matter which one it is, he is a little inexplicably afraid!

He stared blankly at the razor on the ground and shook his head. Or maybe it's neither external nor internal, it's just an accident! Because he was always thinking about his thoughts, he picked up the knife by chance, and as for putting it in such a sensitive position on his neck, it may have been a subconscious action caused by his browsing of mobile phone news in the morning.

Didn't the morning news say that a celebrity committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor blade because of emotional problems! A picture with a mosaic is also attached, and although it has been processed, the bloody scene is chilling, and it is reasonable to have an indelible impression in the brain.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, washed himself clean, and carefully picked up the razor from the ground to put it away.

In the kitchen, Lin Chen found a small note left by Xu Aqi sticking to the wall on the stove: There is porridge in the pot, and the rice is in the oven, find it yourself.

Lin Chen pursed his lips slightly and ripped the note off the wall.

It feels so good to have a woman at home!

The porridge was not yet cold, so Lin Chen simply took the pot and drank it directly.

After a pot of porridge into his stomach, Lin Chen put his chin against the edge of the pot, pondered for a while, as if he remembered something, took out the small mirror he picked up yesterday from the pocket of his clothes, and took it to the bright place to distinguish it carefully.

What does it mean that the dark brown wooden handle of the small mirror is recessed in small characters like oracle bones?

Lin Chen scratched his head and put down the pot. When he returned to the table, he found a pencil, put it in his mouth, and found a small piece of paper, covered it with small letters, and painted it with a pencil.

Soon, the small words appeared clearly on the piece of paper.

He folded the small piece of paper in half and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, then pulled open the table drawer and carefully placed the small mirror.

was about to go out, the phone rang suddenly, and Lin Chen saw that it was Xiao Deng, the secretary of the unit, calling.

"Mr. Lin, it's me, Manager Shi asked me to ask you, where did you put the accounting estimate materials in the last bidding project?"

"It's in the filing cabinet, it's always there, I'm not moving!"

"I didn't find it!"

"It's inside! I'm sure! ”

"Oh! I'll look for it again! Well, Manager Shi also asked you where are the company's customer materials? ”

"Oh? Why did Manager Shi suddenly ask for this? ”

Lin Chen bit his lower lip lightly.

Lin Chen knows that the company's customer materials are extremely important, and mastering the company's customer materials is equivalent to mastering the lifeblood of the company.

"He said that he was carrying out the maintenance and sorting of the system, and he was worried about losing it!"

"I'll keep it! Won't lose it! Tell him to rest assured! ”

Lin Chen set a password on his work computer, and he was glad that he had foresight.

"Well, well! By the way, Manager Shi asked me to tell you... Tell you..."

On the other side of the phone, Xiao Deng's speech became stumbling.

"Hey, talk!"

"Manager Shi said that he has been busy with work recently and there is not enough manpower, so he has found someone to be your assistant, and I hope you will come back as soon as possible and take her!"

Got me an assistant?

Why are you in such a hurry to find me an assistant?

I didn't say I needed it!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen smiled, sandwiched the telephone receiver between his head and shoulders, turned around, leaned his butt on the edge of the table to make himself more comfortable, and then said with a pleasant face: "So good?" Thank you Manager Shi for me! I'm still on vacation, I haven't taken enough vacation this year, and according to the company's regulations, if I don't take enough vacation, it will be invalid. If there's nothing special going on there, I'd like to wait until I'm done with my vacation before going back. As for that assistant, if Manager Shi is willing to keep it for me, let him be! ”

"Then I'll just tell Manager Shi like that?"

"Yes, just tell him what I said!"

"Actually, what Manager Shi means is that he wants you to come back as soon as possible, the company is very busy! Are you taking annual leave now a bit too late? Mr. Lin! ”

"What can be so anxious? The state has given workers the right to rest, I didn't take my annual leave last year, what's wrong with me taking two more days? You tell Manager Shi, I'll go back after my vacation! ”

"Oh, well, I'll just tell him!"

"Hmm!"

Putting down the phone, Lin Chen didn't call in such a bad way, he sat down on the sofa, thinking about the phone call just now, it was really like a stalk in his throat.

Got me an assistant?

Think I'm stupid?

The surname Shi is just a piece of shit, and it can't be done to treat me Lin Chen as a three-year-old child! Don't you want to take over the business from me? Then find someone to replace me in the company's place, and then find a random reason to let me get out, I bah!

The more Lin Chen thought about it, the more angry he became!

Life is sometimes so helpless, many things that don't want to do, people who don't want to see, but always find all kinds of reasons for themselves, have to grit their teeth to do it, to face it, no way!

To survive!

However, now Lin Chen suddenly didn't want to wronged himself.

He dug through the newspapers of the last few days in the drawer under the bed, squatted on the ground and flipped through them one by one, looking for the information he needed in these complicated chapters and pages, the listings he cared about, the news he cared about, this time, the recruitment revelation.

He believes that even if life has pushed him into a corner!

He can find a gap to get out of, too!

This is nothing to Lin Chen!

And the unknown fate in the dark made him especially frightened.

But, he's ready!
