Chapter 150: Words and Words
The little รท said โ Net], the โ little รท said โ Net],
I reached out and touched it for a long time in a daze, but I couldn't find where the annoying alarm came from. 35xs Yuan Sui rubbed his eyes and reluctantly sat up from the bed, and finally followed the sound and bent down, and took out a familiar and unfamiliar little sheep alarm clock from the crack in the bed.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Jumping up almost instantly, Yuan Sui shook the clothes folded on the pillow in a panic, and began to reflect on how he could delay the alarm clock for three hours in a blur.
The moment she clicked on the ID screen, she breathed a sigh of relief.
I remembered that it was Ling Shucheng who told her through a message last night that at ten o'clock this morning, she would meet directly at the most commonly used elevator in the port on the ground floor.
This should mean that she can sleep a little longer, right?
Looking around at this small room that had been with him for more than ten years, Yuan Sui struggled for five seconds and fell down hard again.
- Anyway, it's at your own home, so you shouldn't have to worry about delaying time to buy something to eat.
Getting up in the real sense of the word is actually finally realized in the world's most effective alarm clock - the mother's long-lost nagging.
Stuffing a bunch of small snacks into his pocket while eating, Yuan Sui touched the dress jacket that was almost deformed in distress, and suddenly patted his head.
She probably shouldn't have to come into the office today, right?
Huan Huanxi changed into a more comfortable and loose set of regular clothes, and then put on his bag for the first time in a long time, and re-stuffed more than twice the size of the gadgets, Yuan Sui looked in the mirror in front of the dressing mirror at the door.
It's like a schoolboy on a spring outing. This should be very in line with Ling Shucheng's requirements of "wearing light and inconspicuous", right?
actually said hello to his mother before humming a song and went out, and when he turned around, he happened to catch a glimpse of the surprised expression of a woman who has always been good at controlling her emotions, and Yuan Sui unconsciously stuck out his tongue.
I don't know why, I've always felt inexplicably happy lately.
When he stepped on the point and felt the agreed place, Ling Shucheng had obviously waited for a while.
Forget it, anyway, every time you try to get there early, it's too early for the person in front of you. Yuan Sui shrunk his neck and said hello with an embarrassed smile.
"Boss in the morning...... Good morning! โ
Ling Shucheng nodded, and only responded lightly: "Let's go." โ
"Wait...... Where are we going? What are you going to do? Yuan Sui blinked his eyes.
"Let's talk as we go." Ling Shucheng's gaze obviously lingered on the small satchel on her body for a moment, and added, "I will probably have a lot to say today." โ
It wasn't until he saw that Ling Shucheng had indeed pressed the floor numbered "xx-c" that the joy in Yuan Sui's heart was slightly diluted.
No wonder Ling Shucheng looked a little more dignified than usual.
"Are we going to ......?" She whispered confirmation.
"Hmm." Ling Shucheng seemed to have foresight, took out two small flashlights from his pocket, and handed one of them to Yuan Sui, "Did you bring some food?" โ
Amused by his written diction again, Yuan Sui nodded vigorously: "Enough!" โ
"Be a little more careful when you go in. 35xs" accompanied by Ling Shucheng's undulating voice, and the black gradually penetrated through the slightly reflective metal door like a sea tide.
Maybe human beings will always have an instinctive fear of the dark, and the inexplicable coldness makes Yuan Sui shiver.
"So the power supply has not been restored to the inside?" Before Ling Shucheng took the lead, she only dared to look out.
"'Originally'?" Ling Shucheng didn't seem to be affected by the environment in the slightest, glanced back at her, and stepped into the unknown territory without hurrying.
"Boss, you don't usually like to listen to the radio." Reluctantly leaving the bright elevator hall, Yuan Sui replied, "The horror stories about this place should be connected into several series." โ
"If you have any psychological disorders because of this," Ling Shucheng's voice will always produce a special grainy feeling in such a relatively closed and silent environment, as if there is a little wind in his throat, "You can turn around and go back now." โ
"No, no, how could it be." The last trace was enough for Yuan Sui to vaguely see the light around him gradually closing into a thin vertical line, and the elevator door finally closed completely with a "bang" behind him. She unconsciously paused for a moment before pressing the small switch of the flashlight, trying to make her tone sound as natural as possible, "I'm the one who can listen to the whole book and immediately fall asleep." โ
Everywhere the yellowing beam went, tiny specimens of dust writhed in the disturbed air, like tiny jellyfish floating in the sea. Ling Shucheng heard Yuan Sui's suddenly amplified breathing, and was about to ask, when he heard a series of somewhat familiar sneezes.
"I'm sorry......" Yuan Sui rubbed his nose, "The musty smell here is too strong, I can't help it." โ
"It's fine." Ling Shucheng stopped suddenly, and while quickly clearing the obstacles stacked in front of him that were blocking traffic, he was about to be reminded, when he felt a little insignificant pain coming from his back.
"Ah, sorry, sorry." Yuan Sui, who had been looking around, had to rub his forehead at this time, "I accidentally didn't brake, I thought I hit the wall...... Ah, not that you're like a wall. โ
"It's fine." Ling Shucheng repeated a little helplessly, and then used his talent to lift a sofa with moldy spots on the surface that was diagonally supporting the corridor, "Pay attention to the road, especially under your feet, there may be broken glass or even bare alloy frames and the like." โ
"Okay." Taking his eyes off the mottled and peeling wall, Yuan Sui deliberately raised his legs and stepped over the leg of a chair that Ling Shucheng had ignored, and as soon as he spoke, he subconsciously asked a question that had been lingering in his heart for many years, "Boss, you said, those ships that have been 'lost', are they now in tatters?" โ
After obviously hesitating for a while, Ling Shucheng turned his back to her and said lightly, "."
โโฆโฆ Because it's not very lucky? Yuan Sui blurted out and immediately covered his mouth, trying to recover it vaguely, "Then you didn't say it." โ
"I haven't seen it in person, so I can't answer you." Ling Shucheng was as strict as ever, "Let's end this topic." โ
Hearing the slightly warning reminder in the other party's words, Yuan Sui bit his lip nervously in the dark. Maybe he thinks he has figured out the other party's good temper, and he has been too straightforward and presumptuous recently.
But before she finished introspecting in her heart, Ling Shucheng actually took the initiative to change the topic, easing the suddenly serious atmosphere.
"Today, Zhai Yiwen officially entered the second group of work."
- Why is this more nerve-wracking? Yuan Sui suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "He didn't sprinkle fire on you, did ......?" โ
"He told me to tell you, 'Don't slip too fast after work.'" When retelling this sentence, Ling Shucheng's tone was a little subtle, "What did you do yesterday?" โ
It's like an adult version of "don't run after school", too much like a child's childish declaration when they openly fight. Even though he knew that it was impossible for the other party to see his actions at this time, Yuan Sui still scratched his head embarrassedly: "Please believe me, I definitely didn't secretly say bad things about him behind my back...... He didn't you off, did he? No, you shouldn't be ...... Anyway, if you can't stand him, just tell me, I'll help you get angry! Eh, that sounds a little weird...... How do you think he is doing at work? โ
After listening quietly to this long talk, Ling Shucheng replied very realistically: "I can't see anything else, but he at least has to organize and place documents better than you." โ
"I feel like you've been silently resenting this for a long time...... Yuan Sui said a little weakly, "at least I can guarantee that he is quite good at handling trivial matters efficiently, and he is very careful, and he will take the initiative to take responsibility." Except for his bad temper, I'm still willing to work with him. โ
"You've known each other for a long time. Has he been such a personality since he was a child? โ
"Poof." Although he knew that this laughter was very ruinous to the atmosphere, Yuan Sui still couldn't hold back, "Are you people who are overly polite so subtle in expressing dissatisfaction?" Yesterday Miss Ye asked me exactly the same question. โ
"Miss Ye?"
"Miss Yeshuangshuang. You've probably heard of her, daughter of the Mayor Emeritus. โ
"She is more famous for her dedication to the development of inboard public welfare than her academic achievements in ethics at school."
โโฆโฆ You should be a good fit to go to a newspaper and write an official announcement. Yuan Sui couldn't help but comment sincerely, "Because I was accidentally saved by Zhai Yiwen last time, Miss Ye seems to have had a wonderful impression of him recently." In addition to often taking the initiative to go to the hospital to take care of and accompany this former policeman who lives like a lonely person, even after being viciously spoken to by him many times, he can maintain a good attitude and then send him to be scolded...... I think this kind of spirit is so rare and even a little touching, so I pushed the boat by the way yesterday......"
"'Push the boat with the water'?" Ling Shucheng glanced at the ID display screen that was faintly fluorescent, and confirmed his current location, "Is this appropriate?" โ
"Are you questioning me for pushing Miss Ye into the fire pit by exaggerating the facts?" Yuan Sui smiled even more happily, "Don't worry, what I told her is definitely the truth." Back to your original question, isn't Zhai Yiwen the way he is now when he was a child...... And actually a little, uh, to put it mildly, feminine? โ
"Huh?" Ling Shucheng shook off the obstacles. For the first time, he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"Didn't you notice that he was actually pretty good-looking? Although now it is too tanned under his deliberate intensity. Yuan Sui gradually said that he was on the rise, and it was easy to ruthlessly expose Zhai Yiwen's black history, "He looked very ...... when he was a child Pretty? On weekdays, I especially like to plant flowers and grass, as well as baking bread, embroidery and other things that are completely unmasculine, so I can basically only play with girls - I used him as a 'sister' when I was a child! โ
"It's a little unimaginable......" Ling Shucheng expressed his skepticism with restraint.
"I'm not talking a word, but that was a long time ago." Yuan Sui pursed his mouth, and his mood was suddenly a little low, "My father was still there at that time." Because Zhai Yiwen's father and my father are in the same group, our two families are very familiar with each other. I remember one of my birthdays, and I received a beautiful flower arrangement from him! Until now, I often get disgusted with it...... Ah no, laugh at him. โ
"Then why is he ...... now?" Sensing that the other party seemed to be a little resistant to mentioning this matter, Ling Shucheng changed his words halfway, "If it involves something too personal, forget it." โ
"It's okay, anyway, I told Miss Ye yesterday."
"This ...... Is it appropriate? โ
"Judging by the results, he should thank me for my mouthy - eh!" Almost tripped over something under his feet, Yuan Sui stood up with a hand that reacted extremely quickly, "Is retribution coming so quickly?" โ
"It's me who gets distracted." Ling Shucheng, who took the initiative to clean up the roadblocks, was quite hardworking.
"No, no, no, it's me who doesn't look at the road. But I'm a little surprised, so you really listen to my gossip very seriously? โ
"After all, the center of the conversation is my new subordinate."
"You're such an exemplary boss." Yuan Sui lowered his head and praised sincerely, and by the way, he kicked a small piece of masonry to the wall, and said directly without any foreshadowing, "Our two fathers died in the same mission. โ
An unexpected but plausible answer. Ling Shucheng tried to open his mouth, but finally decided that he wanted to be a quiet listener.
"However, we were in completely different circumstances. Because my father was the 'hero' of the army count, my family received all kinds of in-kind bereavements and greetings...... But his family is different. โ
"What do you mean?"
"Although the person who came to deliver the message did not say it explicitly, judging from the relatively cold attitude of the military towards his family at that time, the failure of that mission should be inseparable from Zhai Yiwen's father." Yuan Sui kicked away a stone at his feet again, "Many people who are related to my father came to visit, pretending to be 'inadvertent' and revealing all kinds of words...... Probably said that the uncle escaped from the battle, and the whole group was finally killed. I thought at the time, ah, no wonder Zhai Yiwen has been avoiding me recently. โ
"You don't have ...... Feeling angry or something? Ling Shucheng tried to figure out her state of mind at that time from common sense.
"Boss, would you be angry with other people's family members because of this kind of thing?" Yuan Sui asked rhetorically.
"But you were very young." Children are always more likely to be induced by other people's words.
"I was sad at the time, but I just wanted to hug my brother and cry with him. As a result, this group of 'righteous people' still did not give up. Yuan Sui sighed softly, "At my father's memorial service, Aunt Zhai, who was forced by them to almost not look like a man, and Zhai Yiwen, who was thin and cowering, also came over, and of course, there was a lot of scolding. โ
"And then?"
"Each of them looked sadder and angrier than I was, and it made me a little embarrassed. Maybe my reaction didn't meet expectations, they became more and more unrelenting, and they couldn't lift Aunt Zhai's scolded head, and asked me vigorously, if I was sad to lose my father like this. Yuan Sui took a deep breath, "Of course I'm sad, but I didn't get stupid because I was sad, what does this have to do with Aunt Zhai." โ
Children are more sensible than many adults think.
"Later, I was annoyed by them, so I directly yelled out my psychological words, scolding them for being a group of garbage who only eat human blood steamed buns - oh, this sentence was newly learned when they scolded Aunt Zhai." Speaking of this, Yuan Sui's tone became nonchalant, "They all looked at me in shock, all of them seemed to be old elders with their chins pulled, which was quite ridiculous." Zhai Yiwen, who was standing like a stone statue on the side, also turned his head and looked at me with tears in his eyes. I think our friendship was probably built around that time. โ
Obviously it was just a simple narrative, but Ling Shucheng felt that a blurred picture seemed to appear in front of his eyes. A small, stubborn girl seemed to have traveled through time and space to come to him, impatiently blocking her ears in the figure of people who were talking about self-righteousness, and bravely completed the "expression" with a fair and honest decibels.
"You're really good."
"Don't, don't boast, I'm embarrassed to say it." Yuan Sui coughed dryly, "And the development of this matter after this may not be the same as you imagined." โ
