Chapter 186: Subtle Indifference

When I arrived at Lin Chen's house, it was already very late.

Walking up the stairs, Ye Jiangchuan stopped, "You live together?" ”

Lin Chen smiled, it was indeed a little inappropriate to live together before marriage.

But if he gets married, he is a poor boy, and her family will never agree, anyway, she has already decided to be together, so she will simply make raw rice into mature sheets, and her family will passively agree.

"If your Miss Xu is at home, the two of us will live in it, will they agree? Isn't that inappropriate! ”

"I guess she's not here! She should still be on a business trip and hasn't come back! Lin Chen's tone was affirmative.

"Well, the woman in the car accident we met..."

The fat man glanced at Ye Jiangchuan, "Someone else!" The bloody woman we met was not Xu Aqi at all! There are so many people who look alike! What's more, it's blind in the dark! Anyway, she came and went without a trace! Let's act as if nothing happened! Originally! You say we met, but what about people? I prefer to believe that Miss Xu has nothing to do, and she is safe! ”

"However, Lin Chen didn't say that her red dress..."

Ye Jiangchuan's words were not finished, and he was picked up by the fat man.

"What's the red dress?"

Lin Chen took the key from his pocket, "It's still the same sentence, don't ask me!" I don't know if she's dead or alive! Still, I believe she's fine! ”

"What if she's there! Isn't it a little out of place? ”

Lin Chen smiled, "What a good brother!" I've thought it all out! I believe she's not there! It's not once or twice that their unit has sent her on a business trip, and each time it takes at least a month to come back! She doesn't usually come back suddenly! Even if she really comes back, she will call me in advance! ”

Lin Chen said this, and hesitated when he turned the key in his hand.

"Let's knock on the door first!" The fat man whispered.

"Hmm!" Lin Chen didn't pull out the key, he only knocked lightly on the door, there was no reaction inside, he increased his strength, and while knocking on the door with a louder voice, he thought in his heart, she wouldn't be there!

There seemed to be a noise inside, and after a while, the door creaked open.

Xu Aqi was wearing a red dress, the same red dress that Lin Chen bought, and the same red dress worn by the woman in the car accident, with a dull expression, standing at the door indifferently, holding a black toy cat in her arms, and the black cat's eyes seemed to be staring at him like Xu Aqi.

This made all three of them hold their breath and their hearts racing.

Xu Aqi's appearance was a little unexpected by Lin Chen, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Xu Aqi didn't speak.

After staring at each other for a while, Lin Chen broke the deadlock: "Oh! You're at home! When did you come back? ”

Xu Aqi leaned against the door and didn't move, just gently swept the three of them with his eyes.

If this was normal, she should have run into his arms a long time ago.

Lin Chen is like this, maybe it's because the three men appeared at the door of the house late at night, which made the girl feel awkward and nervous! She's a sensible girl! It's hard to say anything! Or.. But why is she wearing that red dress?

It's also nothing!

She loved that dress!

It's normal to wear it a few times!

"Looks like you like this dress!"

She nodded slightly.

Lin Chen couldn't help but ask again: "You.. Did you just come back? ”

Xu Aqi looked at him with a faint gaze, occasionally lowering her eyes, Lin Chen could feel her tiredness and sleepiness.

"I'll be back for a while."

Lin Chen looked Xu Aqi up and down, "Just from.. Where to come back? ”

Xu Aqi was stunned when asked, "It's not that you don't know!" Where else can I come back from! What's wrong? Why do you all look at me with such weird eyes? ”

"Have you ever gone to Lao Mokou?" The fat man couldn't help but say.

Xu Aqi was stunned, "Old Mokou? What old Mokou? What am I going to do there? ”

Hearing her say this, Ye Jiangchuan said, "Okay! Look at you, it's like interrogating someone! All right! All right! ”

The fat man said, "I think we're all nerved!" Xu Aqi is good! ”

Lin Chen looked at his watch, it was already early in the morning, and said to Xu Aqi, "The two of them are not outsiders. ”

"Well, come in!"

Lin Chen didn't care too much, he left a few of them in the living room, rushed into the bathroom by himself, turned on the light, he carefully checked the clothes, pants, leather shoes, he even checked his underwear, strangely, no trace of blood was found.

He threw them in the trash, and he didn't want to see them again.

Lin Chen turned on the faucet and began to rinse himself quickly, he could still feel the blood of the woman in the car flowing on his body, seeping into every inch of his skin, could it be that all this was just an illusion?

His stomach seemed to be stirring, too, and he couldn't tell if it was because of nausea or hunger.

He was hungry, not only him, but also Ye Jiangchuan and the fat man.

Almost all the food that could be eaten in the refrigerator, ketchup, chicken legs, and meat floss were almost swept away by them, this was Lin Chen, not only Lin Chen, but also Ye Jiangchuan and the fat man, who had experienced such a feeling of hunger for the first time in their lives.

The fat man and Ye Jiangchuan slept in the living room, and Lin Chen and Xu Aqi slept in the bedroom.

Being so nervous, Lin Chen had a terrible nightmare, dreaming that he had fallen into the bear pool at the zoo and was chased by a big, strong black bear. He woke up from his dream, and the moment he opened it, he found that cold sweat had soaked the quilt.

Xu Aqi on the side slept soundly.

This night, I'm afraid I'm going to lose sleep! Lin Chen's brain frequently flashed the bizarre experience of Lao Mokou, he didn't want to think about it, and he had no choice but to think, tossing and turning, adjusting his sleeping position, and still having trouble sleeping.

The sound of running water could be heard in the hallway outside the bedroom.

Where is the water leaking?

Lin Chen unconsciously pricked up his ears.

The sound continues.

He got up and pushed open the bedroom door, a chill that made people shiver rushed over, and in the dark corridor, there was actually a person standing, a fluttering shadow!

Lin Chen only felt that his scalp tightened for a while, and a cool breath spread throughout his body.

Lin Chen closed the door in horror, his heart beating faster.

Thinking that the fat man and Ye Jiangchuan were still in the living room, he gently pushed open the door again uneasily, and looked out from the narrow crack in the door, the small corridor was pitch black, he opened his eyes wide, and explored in the darkness for a while before gently closing the door again.

"What's going on.."

He didn't notice his muttering.

"Not much! It's just that someone is dead! That person is me.." A cold whisper came from behind, and the aftermath was lingering, trembling in the air, which made Lin Chen take aback.

Behind him is the sleeping Xu Aqi!

Is she talking in her sleep?

Still is...

He thought of the bleeding female corpse in the red dress on the road back from Lao Mokou.

Lin Chen's hands clenched into fists and stood there for a moment, never daring to turn back.

Dead!

The beating of the heart is like a drum, once, twice, making a "dong dong" sound.

Lin Chen plucked up the courage to turn around and found that Xu Aqi was still asleep, the moonlight was like frost, spilling in from the window, and everything seemed to be nothing abnormal.

This night, he didn't sleep, stared at Xu Aqi on the sofa blankly, and sat until dawn.

The next day.

"Did you all rest well yesterday?"

At breakfast, Xu Aqi wore an apron and baked bread to greet everyone.

"It's fine!"

"It's ready early, you all come here to eat!"

"The hostess has a good craft!" After the fat man finished washing, he sat down next to Lin Chen, reached out and took a slice of bread, sandwiched a piece of ham in it, and ate it in a big gulp.

Ye Jiangchuan pulled out the chair, sat down too, sniffed, and praised: "It's so fragrant!" Smell makes you have an appetite! ”

Helping Xu Aqi pour milk for everyone, Lin Chen sat down.

"Did you hear anything in the little hallway last night?" Lin Chen picked up the milk, paused, and suddenly asked.

"Nope!"

"What's wrong?"

The fat man and Ye Jiangchuan both shook their heads.

"Aki, what about you?"

Seeing Xu Aqi bowing her head and eating steamed buns, Lin Chen asked, when he looked at her, he found that in the morning light, her skin was smooth and transparent, in stark contrast to her slightly dark skin before, like she had applied some high-end cosmetics.

Xu Aqi raised his head slowly, and also shook his head, his movements were the same as those of the fat man and Ye Jiangchuan.

"You dreamed last night, didn't you?" Lin Chen asked again.

"Nope! Yes, I don't remember! Xu Aqi said.

"Did you say a word to me?"

"What?"

"You say, a man died. That person is.." Lin Chen didn't continue.

Xu Aqi stopped, in her gaze, Lin Chen smiled awkwardly, Xu Aqi also laughed, Lin Chen found that her smile was a little weird.

"I don't remember!" After she finished speaking, she picked it up again

Cup, followed by milk.

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" The milk was still a little hot, and the fat man was sweating on the tip of his nose.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing! Feel free to do so, everyone! You're welcome at my house! ”

Ye Jiangchuan wiped his hands with a tissue, looked at Lin Chen, and said, "Lin Chen, did you see something?" It's hard to say? ”

Lin Chen took a piece of scrambled egg and put it in his mouth, and while chewing, he said, "Say it, I'm afraid you're afraid!" I heard the sound of dripping water in the small hallway last night, and when I stuck my head out, I saw a figure! ”

Everyone was stunned.

"What figure?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "Hey, let's eat!" Take it easy! I seem to sense that something is often uninvited! It's useless to be afraid! If this continues, I don't want to work at all! I'm going to quit my job when I go back, and I'm going to have to figure out all these weird things! ”

"What a word! So what do you eat? The fat man asked.

Lin Chen said: "With that little savings, it's enough for me to toss for a while!" I don't do that, and there's no other way! I'm nervous every day! I'm going to go crazy if I go on like this! ”

Lin Chen's words made Ye Jiangchuan nod frequently.

"Me too, if this continues, I'll go crazy too!"

The fat man drank all the milk, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said with a smile, "Don't! You're all crazy, what am I going to do! If it doesn't work, I'll go back to my hometown! Just get out of the city! That thing won't chase me for 108,000 miles, chase me back to my hometown! ”

"Not necessarily!" After Ye Jiangchuan finished speaking, he found that Xu Aqi had not spoken, so he said: "Aqi's rice is good, delicious, it's really hard for you!" ”

Lin Chen asked Xu Aqi: "When you come back this time, do you want to go back?" ”

"I don't know!"

Lin Chen noticed that when Xu Aqi came back from this business trip, he seemed to be a different person, much more than before, and he talked less, and he was in a daze from time to time.

"It's too tiring to work over there, right?"

"Hmm!"

"If you're too tired, can't you ask the company to send someone else?"

Xu Aqi stopped talking again.

Xu Aqi's unexpected silence made Ye Jiangchuan and the fat man who were eating on the side a little embarrassed.

Maybe it's the arrival of outsiders that has disrupted people's supposed peaceful lives? The hostess is upset? Otherwise, how could she lose her previous enthusiasm, and she would ignore what she said!

The fat man and Ye Jiangchuan were also interested, and left after breakfast.

Lin Chen went back to the company, and when he came back in the evening, he stopped at the staircase. In the afterglow, he saw the frightening old lady, ragged and skinny, but without the child in her arms, she was squatting on the lawn outside the staircase, waving to him frequently.

Scenario, terrifying anomaly!

Lin Chen stopped, locked his eyebrows, and stared at it deadly, he knew that this old lady was a ghost!

Sure enough, just as Lin Chen lowered his head and blinked, the lawn was empty, and the old lady was gone.

When he went home, Lin Chen searched all the rooms and didn't see Xu Aqi. Lin Chen took a few clothes from the bedroom and prepared to wash them, and when he walked through the living room, he suddenly found Xu Aqi half-kneeling by the sofa under the window.

"When did you come back? I didn't hear the door open! Lin Chen asked.

"I went out and bought some things, and I've been back for a while!"

"Oh! If you don't sit on the sofa, why are you kneeling there! I'll pull you! ”

Lin Chen walked over, and was about to lean over, but before he could hand it over, Xu Aqi had already stood up, This speed made a cold sweat break out of his spine all of a sudden, and his hairs stood up. Her gaze was cold, staring at him coldly, staring at him uncomfortably.

"You, what's wrong?" Lin Chen asked.

Xu Aqi didn't speak, and continued to stare at him for a few seconds, then turned around and went to the bedroom.

Xu Aqi's inexplicable behavior made Lin Chen feel overwhelmed, his eyes caught up with her back, the bedroom door closed silently, as if he had a premonition that she was about to disappear, and a wave of nervousness and panic surged in his heart.

What the hell is wrong with her?

The arrival of Ye Jiangchuan and the fat man made her so displeased?

It shouldn't be!

The woman in the bloody red dress I saw on the highway from Lao Mokou looked too much like her!

He had too many things to say to Xu Aqi, but he was a little afraid to say it.

Maybe I'm too tired when I came back from a business trip! Physically and mentally exhausted! He has also been in such a situation, and he really doesn't want to talk to people, he just wants to rest alone.

That's how it should be!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen sighed lightly and went to wash his clothes with a basin.

At night, everyone slept in separate rooms, and no one disturbed anyone.
