Chapter 209: Peace of Mind
Zhong Yi had a nightmare that was not very long, the kind that was fleeting, but she seemed to have experienced a century in the dream.
She dreamed that she was floating in the bottomless waters, like a fish, floating quietly. Schools of fish swam past her, sunlight casting on the surface of the sea, light splitting it into pieces like shattered mirrors.
The floating body suddenly descended sharply, she was so frightened that she instinctively wanted to call for help, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't make a sound. The breathing was getting tighter and tighter, and there were bursts of convulsive pain in the lobes of the lungs, several times more painful than usual. She thought to herself: This may really be a young death.
It may be that the desire to survive is too strong, she swam to the surface of the sea with her hands and feet, and as soon as she surfaced, before she could breathe a few breaths of fresh air, she was shocked by the sight in front of her and her brain went blank. The calm sea suddenly became turbulent and terrifying, the dark clouds pressed down, and suddenly the wind was fierce, and she tried to escape, but her body could not move, and she watched as the huge waves swallowed her up and drowned in the deep sea.
It was dark and cold all around, and she hugged herself tightly, but she still couldn't resist the cold coming at her. Her head was so dizzy that she just wanted to sleep and wake up to the sun tomorrow.
She did get some sleep, and she didn't wake up until the next afternoon, when the air conditioning in the room was turned on, and wisps of it burrowed into her limbs and bones, eroding her bones.
Zhong Yi shivered coldly, hugged the quilt and sat up, her temples suddenly ached, she rubbed her temples with one finger, lifted the quilt on her body and got out of bed, her feet just touched the ground, and her legs were weak.
I don't know if it's because the after-effects of the ecstasy are still in the body, Zhong Yi only feels that every step is light, as if stepping on cotton, his legs are very weak, and he can't use his strength at all.
She opened the heavy curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and in the afternoon in Bali, the scenery was at its most beautiful, the temperature was a matter of temperature, and the breeze was blowing.
After a while, Zhong Yi roughly cleared some of her chaotic thoughts, and she luckily survived, not in the sea, but under the hands of the perverted pervert. It's just that what happened next, and she really can't remember what happened.
The door of the room was pushed open, and my colleague Xiao C walked in, and when she saw that she was awake, her tone could not hide her excitement: "Sister Zhongyi, great, you finally woke up." ”
Zhong Yi heard the sound, turned his head, and looked at Little C walking towards her, with a puzzled expression. She didn't just fall asleep, and the joyful tone seemed as if she was in a coma and everyone was going to give up, but miraculously she woke up.
Little C is anxious, and she is an intern who has just joined the magazine, and she has been working under Zhongyi, and the two are of the same age, and Zhongyi has always indulged some small habits in her life to bring to work, such as when it comes to saying something, she always exaggerates.
She blamed herself: "Knowing that something happened to you scared us a lot." If I had known, I would have stayed with you and not had a drink with them...... I forgot to call you to ask you to go back to your room. ”
Zhong Yi raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, patted it gently, and said with relief: "This has nothing to do with you, it is my own bad luck, and you don't have to blame yourself." By the way, what about the rest? ”
"They went back to the company yesterday, and I'll stay alone to take care of you. The editor-in-chief got the approval, so it doesn't matter if you go back later. Seeing that her complexion was much better, Xiao C's worried heart finally relaxed.
"Yesterday? What day is it? ”
"Number 29."
It seems that Xiao C's worry that she won't wake up is not an exaggeration, she still remembers that she ended her work successfully on the 27th, and then they proposed to drink to celebrate, and her accident was also the night of the 27th. It turned out that she had really been asleep for so long, and she didn't feel anything at all.
When Xiao C's mood stabilized completely, Zhong Yi asked her back and forth how she was saved? What happened to me while I was asleep?
Little C told her the whole process of the incident 1510, they were still drinking in the restaurant when the accident happened, everyone was drunk and unconscious, and they didn't even know what happened. When they went downstairs, passed by the hotel lobby, saw a few police cars parked outside, were a little curious, and asked the front desk, only to know that Zhong Yi had been drugged. The suspect has been restrained by the police and is being escorted to the police car.
Little C didn't drink much at the time, and as soon as he heard that Zhongyi had been drugged, he ran back to Zhongyi's room in a panic to check if she was okay, and saw a strange boy appear in Zhongyi's room.
Little C was stunned at the time, standing still and not moving, as if he was petrified. The other party was very calm, glanced at her and asked a few questions, "Are you her colleague?" "She's fine, don't worry." "Can you help me hold her, she needs water."
"He said she was your friend, and I was quite suspicious of that person's identity at first, thinking that you had just had an accident and must have nothing to do with him. It's just that when I see him taking care of you sleeplessly behind him, and he is even more terrible than us girls, he must be your friend. Xiao C reminisced while indulging in the scene that could only happen in a romance novel, "Fortunately, with your friend, he arranged everything very properly." The point is, that man has long legs and a handsome voice! Oh my God, that voice speaks French, and it's a naked temptation. ”
Zhong Yi remembered that before he was about to lose consciousness, he saw a blurry human face, like Yasuki. In comparing Xiao C's description, she is sure that the person who saved her was An Shu.
"What about the others?"
"Go back and rest."
"Little C, I'm a little hungry, can you please help me order a lighter food." Zhongyi turned back to sit on the sofa, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it in small sips.
"That friend of yours has already instructed that when you wake up, you will definitely cry hungry, and you can't eat greasy and indigestible food." Xiao C smiled heartlessly, and kept squeezing his eyebrows and winking at Zhong Yi, "Sister Zhong Yi, I have never seen a friend like you, it is so intimate." is more considerate and attentive than her boyfriend, which is really enviable. Tell me about it, you two are really just ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend......"
Zhong Yi already has a boyfriend, and the whole magazine, including Xiao C, doesn't know about this matter. There are often some single male colleagues in the club who offer flowers to invite her to dinner and pursue her, but they are all given up by the coldness and non-response of love. Many female colleagues discussed together, speculating who would pick this kaolin flower in the future.
If she says a boyfriend now, it is estimated that she will scare Little C, and when she returns to the magazine, this matter will make headlines. She coughed lightly and lowered the glass as the glass collided with the marble slab with a crisp sound.
Xiao C immediately closed his mouth and exited the room with a haha: "Sister Zhongyi, you wait for a while, I'll go and ask the waiter at the hotel to bring your dishes in." ”
Zhong Yi leaned back on the sofa behind him, touched the mobile phone in his hand, picked it up and put it in front of his sight, opened the address book and stared at Xu Huaisheng's name for a long time, hesitated again and again, and finally did not resist the urge to hear his voice in his heart, and dialed a call.
After the phone was answered, Zhongyi suddenly became extremely nervous, she took a deep breath repeatedly, listening to his gentle and deep voice in the receiver of the mobile phone, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl.
"Not busy? It's rare to give me a call. ”
"The work has come to an end, and I suddenly want to hear your voice, so I called you."
"Just want to hear the sound?" He chuckled under his breath, and the end note went up.
“……”
Zhong Yi suddenly found that since he was with him, where did the classmate Xu who cherished words like gold and didn't even bother to give her one?
She was very glad that her face was getting thicker and thicker, otherwise she would have been completely disoriented by his provocative magnetic deep voice, and she couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
"When will I come back, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't want to live alone." After flirting, he began to be coquettish on the phone again.
Zhong Yi was a little surprised: "You didn't go home?" She wanted to speak and stopped, "I don't know here, it depends on the itinerary." Possible...... Can't go back. ”
Zhong Yi understood that if she booked a ticket now, she would be able to go back to spend the Spring Festival with Xu Huaisheng, but for some reason, she panicked and wrapped this lie with the reason why she couldn't go back at all.
"It's also me alone when I go back, so it's better to stay in City A, at least with you." Xu Huaisheng looked at the email and said, "Do you want me to accompany you?" Don't worry, it won't mess you up. ”
"It's best if you can come, just...... Don't you really have to go home to your aunt? ”
Hearing this, Xu Huaisheng frowned slightly, "Zhongyi, what happened to you over there?" Your voice sounds weird. ”
"No, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it and don't have to wait for me, it's good to accompany your aunt, it's rare for you to get together." Also, say hello to my aunt on my behalf. After saying that, Zhong Yi hung up the phone, put the phone aside without changing his face, and watched the waiter push the small dining table in.
Xu Huaisheng lowered his eyes slightly, the brightness on the mobile phone screen gradually dimmed, and he looked thoughtfully at the mobile phone with the black screen for a long time. The hand holding the mouse moved slightly, exited the email page, and clicked on Baidu to query the time of the nearest flight to Bali.
Zhong Yi didn't have much of an appetite, and the cuisine was so light that it was full of green vegetables, so she only ate half of it, and called the hotel waiter to ask them to come up and put away the plate.
Downstairs, I checked An Shu's room number at the front desk, Zhong Yi turned back to the sixteenth floor, stood in front of the door next to his room, his emotions had been brewing for a long time, he raised his hand, and was just about to knock on the door, and the door opened from the inside.
An Shu half-leaned against the door frame, staring at Zhong Yi condescendingly, looking at her from head to toe, and finished her words before she could speak: "Don't worry, I won't tell my uncle and aunt." The premise is, it's up to you to perform. ”
Putting down his hand in a daze, he couldn't help laughing when he heard him snatch the white, and he couldn't help laughing with a "poof", and all the bad moods in the past few days were gone with the wind.
"Come in." An Shu turned sideways slightly, turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up the original translation of the French document on the table and continued to look at it.
Zhong Yi walked in with his feet raised and closed the door with his backhand. She had too many questions she wanted to ask him, but when she saw others, it seemed that they didn't need them anymore.
