Chapter 42: Strange Voices (1)
After being seriously injured in the summer, in order to facilitate the care, he lived in Xu Jiashan's house, and at the same time helped him arrange a vacation. Since then, colleagues have been talking about summer, some envy him and some chew on the root of their tongues in the back. There are also those who admire him, and those who say that he eats soft rice.
After a few days of rest, the summer body gradually recovered. On this day, he was lying lazily on the sofa, the TV was on and playing idol dramas, and he kept fiddling with the iPod left by Xu Jiashan for him. To be honest, he had only seen this on TV or in the hands of his colleagues before, and sometimes he really wanted to play but was embarrassed to open up to his colleagues. Now that he has the opportunity to play, why hasn't he used all the time to play?
He was shaking his legs and having fun, Xu Jiashan came back from work and put the one he had just bought on the coffee table, and said with his hands in his waist and breathlessly, "Don't you want money for my family's electricity bill?" β
Summer moved her iPod to the side and looked at her with squinting eyes, "What's wrong?" β
"Why are you keeping the TV on?" After Xu Jiashan chose a program she liked to watch, she said in a commanding tone, "Get up and cook." β
"You let me cook?" Summer couldn't believe that his ears thought he had heard it wrong, he looked at Xu Jiashan and said, "I'm a wounded?" β
Xu Jiashan picked up the sofa cushion and pumped it on Summer, "You have been resting at my house for a long time, and my mother is serving you every day, what's wrong with letting you cook a meal today?" β
Summer deliberately coughed a few times and begged for mercy, "It hurts, it hurtsγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» I'll go, don't I want to be proud?" β
Summer reluctantly walked to the kitchen with the dishes, nagging in his mouth, "Who will marry you like you?" β
"You want to care?" Xu Jiashan lay down complacently, and just like in the summer, she didn't care whether it was her favorite program on the TV, picked up her iPod and played.
She didn't know how long she had been playing, and she was already hungry and screaming, and she shouted at the kitchen, "Are you ready?" I'm starving to death? β
"Hurrying to reincarnate?"
Summer shouted as she brought the last dish to the table and set the dishes and chopsticks. After Xu Jiashan sat down, she picked up the chopsticks and devoured them, without the image of a lady.
"Ding Dongγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Ding Dongγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" I don't know who knocked on the doorbell at this time.
"Go open the door." Xu Jiashan instructed while chewing on food.
"You are?" Summer asked, looking at the man outside the door.
Although the men's clothes are very expensive, they are dressed very casually, the hair is slender but very rough, and the facial features are very delicate but bearded, giving people a sloppy but somewhat literary style.
"Who are you?" The man looked at Summer with the same curiosity, and he walked in without Summer's permission.
"Brother, are you really here?"
Xu Jiashan's mouth full of food was accidentally squirted, which was very unexpected for her brother Xu Jiaqi's sudden visit. Also surprised was Summer, he had never heard that Xu Jiashan had an older brother, and they didn't look like brothers and sisters, this difference is too much, right? My sister was born so naturally beautiful, but my brother is so sloppy?
Their parents stay abroad all the year round because of business, and they are indeed brothers and sisters, although they live in the same city, they have their own careers, so they rarely see each other. Summer never asked Xu Jiashan about the situation at home, so she never mentioned it.
"Who is this?" Xu Jiaqi pointed to the summer and asked.
"Oh, this is the babysitter I just hired." Xu Jiashan smiled stupidly at the summer.
"Put my luggage away, and bring me those chopsticks by the way." Xu Jiaqi handed the duffel bag in his hand to Xia Xia and ordered.
Although Xia was full of reluctance, he could only do it, and Xu Jiashan kept staring at him. He was so depressed that he could only mutter, "Nanny? When did I become her babysitter? It's obviously a boyfriend, okay? β
"Boyfriend? When did she agree to be your girlfriend? Han said with a sneer.
"Can you handle it?" Summer replied unhappily, "If it weren't for you, I would have been with him a long time ago?" β
"What? If you have the ability, you can go now? β
"Too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Summer handed the chopsticks to Xu Jiaqi and sat down.
Xu Jiaqi frowned and looked at Xu Jiashan and asked, "Why does the nanny also eat with the master?" β
Xu Jiashan could see from Summer's expression that he was a little unhappy, and she smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, the two of us have been used to it before." β
"How can you hire a male nanny for a girl? How unsafe is that? Xu Jiaqi said uneasily.
"It's nothing." Xu Jiashan saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so she quickly changed the topic, "Brother, how did you remember it today?" β
Xu Jiaqi put down her chopsticks and began to talk about the past week.
Xu Jiaqi is a well-known online novelist, and recently he wrote a supernatural novel that is also very popular on the Internet. Probably related to his profession, he has always rarely gone out and rarely socialized with people, so he has very few friends, let alone girlfriends.
Not long ago, he met a girl named Yang Yun through a mobile phone chat app. They are of similar age, and their personalities and interests are roughly the same. Therefore, they chatted very openly and fell in love, and they had the feeling of seeing each other late.
Just a week ago, Xu Jiaqi suddenly asked to meet, and Yang Yun readily agreed. They meet at 9 p.m. on weekends to go to the movies together at the Times Square Cinema in the heart of the city, and the movies they choose are the horror movies they both love.
That day, he dressed up carefully and came to Times Square early to wait. He bought the ticket and waited, but Yang Yun never appeared until the beginning of the movie, and no one replied to his message. In order not to waste the movie tickets in his hand, he went in alone and watched the whole movie. And the seat next to him was empty until he left.
He drove away dejectedly, and Yang Yun sent him a message just when he got home: I was afraid that I would scare you after meeting, so I never appeared, just stood at a distance and watched you. Then he also sent a photo of Xu Jiaqi watching a movie alone.
Xu Jiaqi felt very strange that he was alone in that movie. If someone came in and took a picture, they would have seen it, right? But from the time he entered to the time he left, no one else appeared in the entire cinema except him. Could it have been taken from behind after he left? But the angle of the photo is really straight ahead.
That was to say, from that day onwards, whenever he returned to his bedroom at two o'clock in the morning to rest with the new novel, there would be a noise outside the bedroom. When he turned on the light and went out to look, the noise stopped, and when he returned to the bedroom to continue his rest, there was another sound. And when he went out to look again, the noise stopped again, and so many times he was so sleepy that he fell asleep.
This week was the same, and what made him even more strange was that the dishes and chopsticks he had eaten in the kitchen were washed after waking up every day, the living room was tidied up, the scattered cigarette ash in the study was cleaned, and even his own change of clothes was washed and dried.
The fortune teller said that he had a black seal and provoked something unclean. So today he came to Xu Jiashan and wanted to stay for a few days.
