Jian Yao sat on the sofa for a while, closed her eyes and planned to sleep.

However, after lying down for a while, I felt that my hands and feet were cold, and my body was not warm. If you go on like this, you're sure to catch a cold.

She got up again to find Bo Jinyan.

The rain roared and the lightning flickered, and the dark and narrow corridor looked particularly lonely and bleak.

At the end, Jian Yao saw something unexpected again-

There is light.

A hazy layer of white light leaked through the cracks in the doors of the two chambers—there were emergency lighting inside.

Jian Yao was silent for a moment and stepped forward to knock on the door.

After knocking for a while, the door suddenly opened. The first thing Jian Yao saw was the blazing light tube on the ceiling in the room, the strong light dazzled her, and then she looked at Venus with a tube-like lamp.

Then she saw a tall man standing in the doorway, blocking all her vision.

Jian Yao blinked, trying to see him clearly. The man had already spoken, and spoke quickly: "What's the matter?" ”

Jian Yao closed her eyes and opened them again, barely seeing the man with his back to the light, his face blurred, wearing a big white mask, only revealing a pair of eyes, staring at her.

"I'm cold and need clothes." Jian Yao said quietly.

The man was silent for a few seconds and replied, "I don't like people wearing my clothes." ”

Jian Yao suddenly couldn't say anything.

Suddenly, without warning, he took a step back and closed the door in front of her again.

Jian Yao's world returned to darkness.

The moment the door closed, she saw his hand on the edge of the door, wearing the kind of medical plastic gloves; I also saw several rows of tall iron frames behind him, and round cans were placed on the shelves. I don't know what the jar contains, it's all chaotic, clumpy things.

——

Jian Yao returned to the living room, sat alone in the dark for a few minutes, stood up suddenly, and walked into the kitchen.

Turning on the gas stove, she stood in front of the yellow-orange-orange flame and roasted her hands for a while. When I looked up, I saw the bottle of good wine that I gave to Bo Jinyan in the cupboard.

Without hesitation, she took it down, stared at it for a few seconds, and then looked up and took a few puffs.

Both her father and stepfather loved wine, and she knew it well.

Burning in the chest, feeling better, just hungry. She began to look for food in the kitchen.

Empty, almost all the cupboards were empty, even the refrigerator was empty, not a single fruit was left.

She opened the freezer again.

This time there was a harvest - fish, all fish, stacked neatly and neatly on the board.

Despite the power outage, the temperature in the freezer remained very low in winter. Jian Yao dragged out the largest one and threw it onto the cutting board.

Although only the weak lighting of the mobile phone and the shadow of the stove fire are almost like touching the dark, simple food can still be cooked.

Soon a plate of raw rolled fish slices was ready. Although she was very angry, Jian Yao habitually began to clean up the cooking table.

When I turned around, I found that the dining table was empty.

Jian Yao stiffened slightly, and when she turned her head, she saw a tall white shadow standing at the other end of the table, seemingly holding her plate in her hand.

There was a soft "pop" and he put the plate down.

"It's unpalatable." His voice was still as low and melodious, "The meat is too old, and the salt is too much." ”

The accumulated anger in Jian Yao's heart seemed to be detonated with a "bang" with his words.

She walked up to him with a cold face, and dragged the plate of fish over. Then he said word by word, "Did I invite you to eat?" ”

After speaking, she sat down, picked up the chopsticks, and ate in silence.

Bo Jinyan didn't speak, didn't move, and stood in place, like a white quiet tree. Outside the window, the wind was blowing and the rain was dripping, but the house seemed to be quieter, and even the light sound of the fire burning on the gas stove seemed to be clearly audible.

Suddenly, he moved and walked slowly towards her.

Jian Yao still kept her head down, when he didn't exist. But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a men's coat on the back of the chair next to him.

Jian Yao was stunned, but still didn't speak.

Then he turned around, walked around the table, and walked towards the table.

——

Jian Yao watched him quietly, rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands under the faucet, and then stood in front of the cutting board and began to cut fish slices.

There was no sound when he lowered his head to chop vegetables, but Jian Yao vaguely saw the fish and meat he put on the plate, one by one, neat and beautiful; He seemed to ponder for a moment before throwing the fish into the pot one after another, and then quickly fished out the pieces one by one, with graceful and fluent movements. And Jian Yao also saw his hands again.

Just when he put down his clothes, she noticed that his hands were white and slender, not skinny like Jian Xuan said.

Finally, he stopped moving, held the plate, stared for a moment, turned around, and pushed a plate of steaming fish in front of her.

"This is the raw roasted fish."

Jian Yao looked up at him.

So he was busy for a while, and he wanted to make fish for her to eat to prove which was better or worse?

Her original angry mood became a little indescribable because of his series of actions.

He stood very close, and Jian Yao saw his face again. This time he didn't wear a mask, but he wore a pair of large, very complicated-looking glasses that covered half of his face. The lenses glow faintly red.

Night vision goggles?

He doesn't have a flashlight at home because he wears night vision goggles?

And the bridge of his exposed nose is slender and straight, his thin lips are lightly pursed, and the line of his chin looks very normal, well-proportioned and clean, without "wrinkles and concaves" as Jian Xuan said.

……

Jian Yao still ignored him, lowered her head and continued to eat her own fish slices.

After a few seconds, I caught a glimpse of him straightening up, without saying a word, turning and stepping up the stairs. The tall white shadow quickly disappeared into the darkness.

On the first floor, only Jian Yao was left.

She picked up the dress first, and it looked familiar. She quickly remembered - wasn't this the coat that Fu Ziyu hung on the coat rack on the day she came to the interview? He also took his phone out of his pocket halfway through.

I see.

She suddenly remembered Fu Ziyu's words. He said that Bo Jinyan had a strange and withdrawn personality and had no friends.

So, Bo Jinyan actually has difficulties and obstacles in interpersonal communication?

Thinking of this, Jian Yao's heart was not angry. She picked up the chopsticks again and chose the smallest one from the bottom of the fish plate he had made. Move the others a little bit to disguise the traces.

When the fish was in the mouth, she was stunned.

——

Jian Yao was awakened by the sound of "clanging". She sat up from the couch and looked up to see that the wind had blown the two windows on the west side of the living room, hitting the metal lattice.

It was still dark, and the rain seemed to be quieter, but the wind was stronger, whirring like a wild beast whistling outside the house.

Jian Yao thought that the glass should not be broken, so she immediately got up and walked over. As soon as I arrived at the window, I saw a figure on the stairs. Bo Jinyan was slowly walking downstairs - probably hearing the sound just now. His expression was hidden in the darkness and he couldn't see clearly. A pair of eyes were shining red.

Jian Yao ignored him, grabbed one of the window panes, faced the strong wind, and closed and locked it hard. Just as he was about to reach out to close another window, he suddenly felt a gust of wind outside the window, and the sky flashed, and the glass window in front of him had hit the window lattice......

Jian Yao reflexively turned around to dodge, and at the same time raised her hands to block her head. Meng's right wrist was clenched, and she was pulled to the side. At the same time, I heard a loud "clang" behind me, followed by a large area of brittle cracking......

Jian Yao's heart was shocked, and when she turned to look, she saw that the glass before was only the edge of a sharp crack, and under the lightning, there were broken glass shards all over the ground.

It's dangerous.

She turned her head again and faced Bo Jinyan. He was still the same, wearing big night vision goggles. Just because he stood closer, Jian Yao smelled a faint unfamiliar aura on his body. And his wrist was still firmly held by him.

"Thank you." She withdrew her hand, not moving. The next second, he suddenly bent over, stretched out his long arms, and hugged her back and knee sockets—actually picking her up from the ground.

Jian Yao was shocked: "What are you doing?" ”

Bo Jinyan glanced down at her: "I don't think you can go around all the glass shards on the ground and return to the sofa without wearing night vision goggles." In particular, your body's reaction speed is not at all agile. ”

Before Jian Yao could speak, he had already taken a step forward and walked towards the sofa.

He was very tall, and Jian Yao had a shaky feeling in his arms. And because it was close to his chest, the faint cold aura on the man's body became more and more obvious. Separated so closely, the more I feel that he is very tall and slender.

Jian Yao has never been hugged like this by a man, and she feels a little uncomfortable. But he was right, he could only let him carry it back like this.

He quickly carried her to the couch and laid her down gently. Although he was still a little annoying when he spoke just now, he saved her, Jian Yao: "Thank you." ”

His expression was hard to see in the darkness, and he straightened up, paused for a moment, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Jian Yao saw him turn around the kitchen, and then walked back.

"I'm sure you've got a judgment." He said.

Jian Yao reacted - he was talking about fish. But she obviously only moved the bottom little, how could he tell that she had eaten?

She didn't squirm, and replied calmly: "I admit that the fish you make is indeed better than mine." But you spoke too much before. ”

Bo Jinyan did not respond to her criticism, but said softly: "Good night." This time Jian Yao heard it, and there was a faint smile in his voice. And Jian Yao could almost conclude that this smile was because of the victory of the fish.

In the blink of an eye, he had gone upstairs.

——

When Jian Yao woke up again, it was already dark outside the window, and the rain stopped at some point.

She stood up and took a deep breath of the fresh, icy morning air, the room was empty and silent, as every day, and there was no movement upstairs.

Thinking of everything that happened last night, Jian Yao had the illusion of being in a different world.

She folded Fu Ziyu's clothes and put them on the sofa, swept away the broken glass slag in the living room, and went home.

——

The color is lonely and cold, and there are few pedestrians on the road. Jian Yao didn't sleep for a few hours last night, and she was a little embarrassed.

Instead of going back to the police compound, she went back to her mother and stepfather so that they wouldn't worry.

The stepfather works in an agency and lives in the dormitory compound of the unit. Jian Yao didn't call her family, she only texted to report her safety, lest they get up early in the morning to pick her up. She walked along the side road of the compound, walking forward alone, and suddenly saw several familiar security guards hurrying over.

Staggered and passed, Jian Yao faintly heard them talking, and her tone was anxious and angry.

"It must be him, the weirdo."

"Yes, he must have abducted the child."

"Can't wait."

……

When Jian Yao heard the word "abduction", she immediately woke up and remembered the disappearance case that Li Xunran had talked about. As soon as they turned around, the security guards had already jumped into a van at the door and walked away.

Jian Yao immediately called Li Xunran, although she couldn't figure out what was going on, she felt that it might be related to the case and it was necessary to tell him.

However, Li Xunran couldn't get through on the phone. Jian Yao remembered that he seemed to say that he was going to the countryside to investigate the case in the past few days, but the signal had been bad, so he had to go upstairs and go home first.

——

Hearing what Jian Xuan said, Jian Yao knew that it was the son of a security guard who came to the city from the countryside to play, disappeared yesterday and has not come back yet. In other cases, Jian Xuan is not clear.

"I heard that the case has been reported." Jian Xuan said, "But less than 48 hours after the disappearance, the police station did not file a case." ”

Jian Yao nodded, called Li Xunran again, but still couldn't get through, and fell asleep.

——

It was already noon when Jian Yao woke up again. The clouds cleared, and the sky was clear and sunny.

Jian Yao cleaned up for a while, ate, picked up her bag and prepared to go out.

Jian Xuanqi said: "Are you still going to the villa today?" Didn't you just come back in the morning? ”

Jian Yao replied: "There is still a little left to complete the work, it will end today, start tomorrow, you don't have to go, it's better to celebrate the New Year." After a pause, he said, "I met Bo Jinyan yesterday." ”

"Really, really?" Jian Xuan suddenly came to her senses, "Isn't it terrifying?" ”

Jian Yao thought about it, didn't answer, only sighed.

After gossiping about last night's experience with her sister, Jian Yao went out to draw a perfect end to the twenty-day work, and the relationship with Bo Jinyan would come to an end.

Then, the days will go on so peacefully, and after the winter vacation is over, she will go back to City B, intern and work in the contracted unit, and then find a boyfriend, get married, and have children.

But Jian Yao didn't expect that this afternoon, in the villa, there would be more thrilling things. And after that day, her life was no longer peaceful, and her predetermined life gradually deviated from course and sailed in another strange and new direction.
