Soon, the two of them arrived at this newly opened small restaurant, which had much more dishes than the meatloaf shop.

The layout of the small restaurant is unique, with antique palace lamps on top, and the dim and ambiguous light cast by it adds an elegant and quiet atmosphere to the whole restaurant. The gentle Spring River Flower Moon Nocturne swirls low in the ears, bursts of fragrance, neither strong nor demonic, polite waiters, quiet guests, and whispers of laughter from time to time.

Maybe it's because the food here is more expensive, or maybe it's new and little known. In short, there are not many people who come here to eat.

Fortunately, as soon as I entered the door, it began to rain outside, and the rain was very urgent, and after a while, it was already pouring down.

Lin Chen found a table by the window, thoughtfully pulled the chair on Xu Aqi's side outward, and sat on the opposite side.

The meal was quickly served, Xu Aqi pinched a shrimp for herself, and halfway through, Lin Chen stretched out his chopsticks, stopped them, and took the shrimp from her chopsticks, and smiled at her.

Xu Aqi obviously hadn't recovered from the old lady's incident just now, and was still immersed in it, with a dumbfounded expression.

"Hey!"

"What?"

"Eat! Don't be in a daze!"

"It's on the plate! You're still going to rob my shrimp!" Xu Aqi came back to her senses and complained softly.

Lin Chen smiled: "I should have given it to me!" It seems that I was moved by nothing. ”

"Is there such a thing? I'll rob you next time, and I'll see who can rob whom!"

Xu Aqi said in a muffled voice, turning her head in the direction of the window from time to time, watching the heavy rain constantly wash the glass of the window, and the scene outside the window became a distorted abstract painting.

"It's raining so hard! It was still a sunny day! This rain is coming! It's a thundershower, and it won't be long before it stops! Lin Chen's gaze shifted back from the window, "Tell me!" Why are you living hell?"

Seeing that Xu Aqi didn't move her chopsticks much, Lin Chen took a few pieces of fried yam and put them in her bowl.

"You don't have a good face, you're out on a business trip, and you're tired! Eat more yams, replenish qi! ”

Xu Aqi let out a big sigh, and used the tip of his chopsticks to flick the yam in his bowl back and forth a few times, "Seriously, do you believe that there are really ghosts in this world?"

"Ghosts?"

This question made Lin Chen really don't know how to say it for a while, he looked at Xu Aqi, and found that her face was dark, and there was a bit of horror in her eyes, What Lin Chen had experienced these days had already made him a little confused, Xu Aqi's question was just on the point.

"Originally, I always thought that this thing didn't exist, it was made up by those people with rich imagination to scare people and play, life was too boring, everyone needed some stimulation, so the so-called 'ghost' thing also catered to the needs of the market and came into being! Moreover, some people have seen too many weird stories, so they will naturally be nervous and believe it! What do you think, on this earth, there are dead people every day, if there were really those stolen things, I am afraid that they would have been full of ghosts a long time ago, where can we still be accommodated! ”

Xu Aqi listened attentively, so Lin Chen pointed at the plate of beef stewed carrots with the tip of his chopsticks and said, "Don't just listen, come!" Eat vegetables! ”

"Doesn't our materialist education tell us to look for evidence? But the problem is, there is no strong evidence that there are ghosts in this world, and there is no evidence that there are no ghosts in this world! Perhaps it is beyond the material and cannot be contaminated by material evidence! If so! Who knows! If you want to ask me if I believe it, I won't know for the time being! ”

The beef seemed to be stewed, and Xu Aqi ate several large pieces in succession.

"Well, this beef is delicious! These days, I almost eat a working meal, and I almost vomit after eating! It's rare to eat such delicious, fragrant and rotten beef today! ”

"I'll stew this too!" Lin Chen said.

"Good! I'm waiting to eat this dish you made! ”

"It's been a stressful time! When you come back from your next business trip, I'll cook you more delicious food! We can also go around, go to Xinjiang, go to Tibet, and let you also enjoy the scenery of the west! Let's go wherever we want! ”

Xu Aqi listened and laughed!

Her face often shows this kind of smile, that smile is silly, or simply silly, Lin Chen is not immune to Xu Aqi's smile, he will be completely intoxicated with this happiness.

"Let's have some fun! After going to Xinjiang, going to Tibet, it sounds so good! Lin Chen, have you made a fortune recently? ”

"Huh? I didn't get rich! ”

"It costs money to go out and play! Lin Chen, aren't we financially tight! If you can save it, you can save it! ”

As soon as the topic of money was mentioned, Lin Chen would feel embarrassed, he touched his nose embarrassedly, and glanced at Xu Aqi with a little embarrassed eyes.

"Money? Not a problem! Big deal, I'll get another job! ”

"It's good to go out and play! However, instead of going to Xinjiang and Tibet, I would like to stay at home and get a good night's sleep! ”

Xu Aqi sighed again, rubbed her temples suddenly, blinked her sour eyes, smiled bitterly, and shook her head.

"What? Traveling on a business trip and having a bad rest? ”

Lin Chen sandwiched the remaining pieces of beef on the plate into Xu Aqi's bowl.

"It was fine before! During this time, I always had insomnia, and in the last week, I only slept intermittently for more than ten hours. Sometimes I always wake up at three or four in the morning and never fall asleep again! The days of not being able to sleep every day are so tormenting! ”

"I said! You came back from this business trip, and your face was so bad! It turns out that the rest is not good! Hey, Aki, you can try a bedtime massage, a bubble bath, or listen to soothing music or something, it should help you! ”

"Well, I've tried it all! It's useless! ”

"Why is that? Nervous at work? ”

Xu Aqi's expression was solemn, and he was silent for a long time, and said, "It's because of fear!" ”

"Huh?" Lin Chen was stunned and looked at Xu Aqi suspiciously.

"The agency over there arranged a special apartment for me, and I lived alone! There is a separate bathroom, the conditions are good, and it can be regarded as taking care of me. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to live alone! And not bothered by others! You still can't sleep, huh? ”

"Well, before, I slept well every night, but one night, I woke up from my sleep, and I felt my body freeze on the bed, and I couldn't move! There was a woman's voice laughing in my ear, and it was really scary! Since then, at night, I want to fall asleep again, and I am afraid to fall asleep, and before I know it, I start to have insomnia! Lin Chen, the voice I heard was very real! It's not like a dream at all! ”

"Auditory hallucinations!" Lin Chen said, turning his head to look out the window.

The rain outside the window comes and goes quickly.

It was already dark outside, and the raindrops reflected the blurred shadows of the two of them.

Lin Chen continued: "Once, I was waiting for an important phone call, at that time, the phone was in the house next door, but I always faintly heard the phone ringing, and ran to the next door to look, but the phone did not ring at all. I think you might be having auditory hallucinations too! It's caused by the lack of adaptation to a new environment and the tension of work! Did you often suffer from insomnia before? ”

Xu Aqi nodded secretly.

I REMEMBER THAT I ONCE SAW A TOPIC ON THE INTERNET ABOUT WHAT HAPPINESS IS, SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT IT IS TO GET THEIR FAVORITE IPAD, SOME ARE NEW CLOTHES, SOME SAY IT IS DELICIOUS, AND THEY ARE MORE ENVIOUS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE MEN AND GIRLFRIENDS, AND THOSE WHO HAVE NO CHILDREN ENVY THOSE WHO HAVE CHILDREN, ETC., OF COURSE, THE ANSWER IS MORE! Xu Aqi agrees with two of them the most:

One is that I was so uncomfortable that I finally saw the toilet, and the other was a winter morning, I didn't have to get up, and I could sleep as long as I wanted in the warm bed.

A good night's sleep is indeed a luxury for Xu Aqi!

However, this time, it seems that it is not just about poor sleep and auditory hallucinations!

Xu Aqi silently drank the Russell soup in the small bowl, pulled a napkin, wiped her mouth quietly, and picked up chopsticks to clip a few green leafy vegetables for herself.

Lin Chen said: "If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not!" At night, don't think so much, don't think about anything, just sleep well! By the way, what you're going to tell me, that's it? ”

"It's not! Say it, you may not believe it, I really saw the hell today!"

Xu Aqi put down her chopsticks, crossed her arms, leaned on the table, leaned forward, and couldn't wait to speak, when she told the strange scene of the old lady disappearing into the wall of the building in front of her, Lin Chen interrupted her.

"You mean the old lady actually went into the front building? Are you sure you don't dazzle? Did she leave somewhere else and you didn't notice? Think she's in the front building?"

"How could it be! I'm not dazzled! I watched her disappear from the wall with her baby in her arms! Lie to you as a puppy! Okay?"

"Don't! Other! If you're going to be a puppy, what will happen to me!"

"Hey! Vouch for my character, what I say is true!"

Lin Chen tilted his head sideways.

"I don't need to vouch, I believe in you, okay! By the way, the old lady you said is not too tall, a little fat, the baby is a bald head, and the strangest thing is that he has the same vermilion mole under his ear as mine! Am I right? ”

"Hmmm! How do you know? Have you seen her too? ”

"Come, don't patronize, eat! Eat more greens, greens are a good thing! It can help moisten the intestines and lose weight! ”

Lin Chen took some more vegetables with chopsticks and put them in Xu Aqi's bowl, and continued: "This old lady and child, I seem to have seen it before!" However, not in this building, but on the mound on the other side of the construction site. The first time I saw them, I felt very weird, they looked at me in the eyes, it was very special! ”

Xu Aqi nodded heavily, "Yes!" They looked at me in a weird way, a terrifying look. ”

"Hmmm! Such! ”

After thinking for a moment, Xu Aqi tilted his head, turned his face slightly towards Lin Chen, squinted, and looked at Lin Chen coldly.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then put down his chopsticks, covered his mouth with both hands, and laughed breathlessly.

"Hahaha... Ha ha... Come on! Laughing makes my stomach hurt! Spare me! Don't tease me, no! Your eyes are obviously not scaring me, but seducing me, okay! Seduce my fragile little nerves! ”

Xu Aqi puffed out her mouth with a helpless expression.

"Still laughing! People are talking to you about business! You can be serious! Ay! Why do I feel cold in my hands and feet! Lin Chen, I'm a little scared!"

"It's raining and it's cold! Don't be afraid, it's useless to be afraid! Besides, I'm still here!"

Lin Chen was still laughing.

"Do you believe in ghosts?"

The same question, Xu Aqi couldn't help but ask again.

It seems that Xu Aqi is not satisfied with Lin Chen's answer just now,

"Didn't I answer you all! I don't know! I didn't believe it before, but now... I don't know, I should say that I believe there is a little more feeling! ”

Looking at Xu Aqi's puzzled gaze, Lin Chen stopped smiling, he added: "Actually, what you have experienced is nothing, and there are more terrifying and strange things I have encountered... Lin Chen paused, "Well, forget it!" I won't tell you about it! You don't believe it! If you do, you won't be able to sleep even more! ”

"Believe it or not, you can hear it first!"

"It's not worth your life to be scared to death!"

"I'm afraid it's not scared to death, it's you who died in a hurry! You're killing me! Ouch! Why are you still stunned? Tell me!"

Xu Aqi's hand reached over without warning and grabbed one of Lin Chen's ears!

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Ouch! My little aunt and grandmother! You let it go first! It hurts me! ”

This girl is really strong! It made Lin Chen grin!

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Speak! Speak! Speak! ”

"Humph! That's pretty much it! ”

The pain made Lin Chen's face a little ugly, he rubbed his ears aggrievedly, and squinted at Xu Aqi, who had a fierce expression just now, at this time, she was holding her chin with her hand, waiting intently, like a nun.

"Next time, can you be lighter! My ear, what if you get disabled! ”

"If you are disabled, you are disabled! If you don't talk about it, I'll still be sneering! ”

"I can say yes, but the premise is that I have to make it clear to you first!"

"Speak!"

"First, scaring people to death is not worth their lives! Second, if you are so scared that you can't sleep at night, you can burrow into my bed! ”

"Go! Don't be unserious, talk about it! Speak quickly! Did you hear that? ”

Xu Aqi moved forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Chen's ear again domineeringly.

"Ouch! It hurts me! My little aunt and grandmother! You let go! Let go! I'll speak! ”
