============================================================
Xiao Xia made a while of psychological preparations outside the night homecoming bar before entering, and Wanli couldn't come because of something temporary, so she had no one to rely on, so she could only bite the bullet herself.
She originally expected Ruan Zhan to be working inward, but as soon as she pushed the door, Ruan Zhan just turned her head, and the eyes of the two suddenly met.
"Hey, long time no see." She hurriedly greeted her, feeling a little feverish and embarrassed.
"It seems that you are very busy at the end of the year, and you almost forgot how I left here, right?" Ruan Zhan smiled softly, acting very naturally, completely treating good friends, no different from before.
Xiao Xia secretly scolded herself for being useless, and she didn't know what to say, but fortunately, Liu Tie and Ni Yang came to greet her affectionately and saved her life, otherwise she would have died there stupidly.
It seems that Ruan Zhan didn't remember the events of that day, as if it hadn't happened at all. It was she herself who kept this matter in mind, and she was awkward for a long time, but in fact, nothing will change at all. Men, women who are not interested in themselves will not pay special attention. It's okay, it's okay, otherwise I really don't know how to face him!
Xiao Xia thought so in his heart, and peeked at Ruan Zhan a few more times, and saw that he was calm and gentle to him, close but not too close, distant but not too far, and his heart relaxed. Secretly scolded himself for not thinking about it, he worried about it for so long in vain!
She talked to Liu Tie and Ni Yang, and also exchanged a few words of greeting with the visitors she was once familiar with, and gradually, it finally became natural.
Ruan Zhan, who was secretly observing him, was also relieved to see her slowly relaxed look.
He knew that Xiao Xia was an extremely shy woman emotionally, and if she could ask him such a question on Christmas Eve, it might be a confession to her, but he couldn't accept it for some reason.
It's not that I don't like her, in fact, she has such a different meaning for him, burying his world full, melting the ice in his heart, and brightening his gloomy life.
When she didn't show up for two months because of embarrassment, his thirst for her made his heart crack, and he felt the cold wind blowing in hard, and the last trace of warmth disappeared.
When he heard that Liu Tie and Ni Yang were grinding Xiao Xia and had to let her come to the store, he was unsettled all day, and for fear that she would be uncomfortable, he had to make a calm and calm appearance.
But when she appeared before him, his heart beat like a drum, and he had to do his best to make her think that he didn't remember it.
It's not just about liking!
He thought that he loved her, but it was a pity that he couldn't afford to want it again. Therefore, it is better to pretend that she doesn't know anything, so that it won't hurt her, and it will be more natural to get along. At least then you can stay by her side, be her friend, protect her. It was the only thing he could do for her.
"I'm going on a business trip to City A for a month." Xiao Xia saw that the number of customers in the bar was gradually increasing, so he no longer pulled the two big boys to chat and let them get busy, but walked to the bar to say goodbye to Ruan Zhan.
Ruan Zhan was cutting something, almost cutting his hand.
"I'll leave tomorrow morning." Xiao Xia continued, glancing at Ruan Zhan's hand, and the lack of bloodshed made her relieved.
"I'll send you." Ruan Zhan said, feeling reluctant for a while. I won't be able to see her for another month.
"No need, Wanli will send it, anyway, he's closer to me." Xiao Xia stretched out her hand, "I'm going back to pack my things now, you know, it's very troublesome for women to go out, let's say goodbye to you in advance." ”
Ruan Zhan hesitated, but didn't say goodbye, but held Xiao Xia's little hand, "Don't be busy saying goodbye, come with me." ”
He dragged her upstairs, much to Natsu's confusion, but he liked the feeling of his big hand holding her hand tightly, and followed behind without saying a word.
In Ruan Zhan's room, he took out a few charms from the drawer that were sandwiched in the book, "This is for you, of course, it is worthless, but Wan Li always says that I am a god stick, so I will give you a little gift of a god stick." I think you must find a house to live in when you go out of town. ”
"I said that the company would arrange a place for me to live."
"It's good. However, a new place is always different from the aura of a new person, and your aura is weak, so it will be useful to put this on it. ”
In order to deal with the threat from the necromancer for many years, he has been cultivating recently, and he is also trying to release his ability to be sealed, these few spells are recently drawn for cultivation, and they have some power, hoping to keep Xiao Xia safe.
His attitude towards her now was that as long as she wasn't with him, he couldn't rest assured. This is probably called caring and messing.
"Okay." Xiao Xia took the spell, glad that he cared about her, "Thank you, you can call me when you are free, Liu Tie and Ni Yang both have my phone numbers." Ahh ”
"It's okay, I'll fight." Nguyen Zhan promised.
&&&&&&
The company sent a driver to send Xiao Xia to the accommodation arranged for her, and she was surprised that it turned out to be a three-story white western-style building.
She hadn't lived in this kind of place since she was a child, so even though she only rented a room on the third floor, she still had a fresh feeling.
"This room lady is still satisfied." The owner asked, "It's not the best one in the store, but it's quiet." The biggest one had another guest book it in advance. ”
"This is good, thank you." Xiao Xia is not a fussy person, and nods with a smile at the boss.
The boss introduced himself as Lan Shan, but she heard that the neighbor who delivered things called him Lazy San.
"Is it off-season for hotels? There don't seem to be many guests. She asked casually, but she didn't expect the boss to immediately change his face, "Miss, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside, I'm very good here." ”
The way he was in a hurry to defend made Xiao Xia a little strange. As soon as she got off the plane, she was sent directly here, saying that she was asked to rest and recuperate, and then go to the company tomorrow to do things, how could she have time to hear any gossip.
"What's wrong?" She asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just -- I'm mainly renting a day house here, and I usually use it to entertain campus couples."
"Oh, that's right." Looking at his stumbling appearance, Xiao Xia thought that he didn't want to admit that this was a hotel that provided a tryst for couples, so he didn't ask any further, "Okay, thank you for the introduction, now you can please." I'm going to pack my things first, I'm going to stay here for a month! ”
"I wish Miss a pleasant stay." Lazy San replied, and then walked out of the door.
He wasn't going to tell the young lady the truth, in fact it had been sealed off for two months since the second murder. After the Chinese New Year, he was allowed to reopen, but despite his reduced room fee, not a single guest came, after all, people who knew the details would never come to this terrible place again, and those couples would rather go far than risk being dismantled by an unknown psychopathic killer in a tryst.
But just when he was almost at his wit's end, suddenly fortune came again. First, an international student signed a long-term lease because he liked the architectural style of the building, and paid a deposit for several months at once, and then a company booked a room for their new staff and paid for the room for a month.
Not only would this be a relief for his financial needs, he thought, but if they left safely, his inn's reputation would be restored.
The ancestor said well, but there are no more than three things. He believed that nothing would happen again.
Just when Lazy San was happy that he was going to transfer again, Xiao Xia was busy sorting out his things, when someone knocked on Xiao Xia's door.
Outside the door was a young man in his twenties, clean, not tall, with a pair of glasses on his face, looking at Sven but giving Xiao Xia the feeling of shrewdness and calculation.
"I'm your neighbor, I've come here to pay a visit, I heard that Miss will also live for a while, maybe I will cause you trouble in the future!"
He nodded politely, and although he spoke fluently, his tone was a little stiff, not like a Chinese. Coupled with his East Asian face, Xiao Xia guessed that he was either Korean or Japanese.
"I'm Japanese, my name is Kenji Okamura, and I'm here to study in China." He seemed to see Xiao Xia's doubts and took the initiative to answer.
Xiao Xia is not good at dealing with this kind of greeting and polite scene, so she only answered a few words casually.
"Miss doesn't like the Japanese?" Kenji Gangmura asked sensitively.
"I don't have a special liking or dislike for Japanese people." Xiao Xia didn't like his inquiring attitude, and replied bluntly, "But since we are going to be neighbors in the future, I believe we can get along very well." Now that I'm going to pack my things, can we have a chance to talk again? ”
"Absolutely." Kenji Okamura still said tepidly, "I'm sorry, I hope to be friends with Miss." ”
Natsu nodded to him, then closed the door.
Kenji Gangmura stood in the corridor for a while, muttering to himself, "What a beautiful and lovely young lady, it seems that she will lure him out." Alas, it's a pity, but it's also a no-brainer. ”
But there was nothing wrong that night, because Xiao Xia did not stay in the hotel. She had a college classmate who was from City A, and she wanted to meet casually, but she didn't expect to be warmly retained by her classmates, so she ended up staying at a friend's house and whispering all night. The next morning I went back to the hotel to change my clothes and went to work, and did not return until dinner time.
The house rented by the company for her was full of room and board, and the daytime work was not heavy, which made her feel very happy, and she visited the hotel after dinner.
She first walked around the five rooms on the third floor, and found that except for one for herself, one for the Japanese named Kenji Okamura, and two empty rooms, the boss only lived in the attic, but he actually opened one for Sister Wang, a cleaning lady and kitchen worker. said that the boss was extraordinarily generous, but he was stingy again, saying that he was special to Sister Wang, and he was calling her back and forth, which was really incomprehensible.
There was nothing to see on the second floor, it was about the same as the third floor, but as soon as she got to the first floor, she felt a chill and the feeling of being spied on.
This made her shudder, clasp her shoulders tightly, and look around to see if the doors and windows on the first floor were not closed, only to find that everything was fine, and the wind was blowing from a passage behind the far left of the hall.
The passage was pitch black, as if it led to the basement. But isn't the basement enclosed? Why is there wind?
Thinking so, she unconsciously walked in that direction, and when she got around the corner she suddenly heard a low voice from inside. I can't hear exactly what it is, but I can hear the voices of a man and a woman.
"Who's in there?" She asked, suddenly feeling a strong sense of fear, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, and bumped into a soft object, while a hand patted her shoulder, and a foul smell also hit the wind.
