Chapter 5 Preliminary Understanding
In the evening, Wanli called.
"I didn't find you when I went back to the clinic in the afternoon, and I didn't dare to call your mobile phone for fear that you would be busy with the case." He said, "How's it going today?" ”
"Not like that."
"Why is it that you have no energy, and you didn't sleep well last night?"
"Hmm." In fact, she has been very tired these days, but because she is afraid of having nightmares again, she is a little worried about sleeping on chuang every day, and now she is thinking about whether to stop sleeping at all.
"Have you been to Ruan Zhan?" Wanli asked tentatively, "You won't forget, that psychic friend of mine!" ”
"How can you have psychic friends?! I've seen a very indebted friend of yours. As soon as Ruan Zhan was mentioned, Xiao Xia burst out of nowhere with a nameless fire, and immediately turned from a half-dead state to an almost thunderous state.
"Looks like you've already looked for him."
"Twice!"
"So he won't promise to help you?"
"You let me go knowing the result? Deliberately embarrassing me, huh? ”
"Hey, to be reasonable, I said earlier that he was afraid of trouble, and it is very likely that he will not agree. But I didn't expect you to be angry, he has always had a good reputation among women. ”
"Those women don't have eyes, but I do. In fact, I asked others to help, and it is my duty to help others not to help, and it is not entirely for your face. I have nothing to be angry about complaining, and people are not obligated to help me. But I'm just angry with him. With such a nice smile on his face, so friendly, he actually rejects everything and is indifferent to anything. What looks like a gentle Prince Charming is actually the evil Gargamel! Impersonal, unloving, unconscionable! Xiao Xia was angry, although she also knew that asking for someone should be low and the result was unknown, but as soon as she thought of Ruan Zhan's face, she was angry, and she didn't know why.
"It's good to be angry, it's good to be angry, and you can pass on other bad emotions."
"Ten thousand miles!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Tomorrow - no, tomorrow I can't get out. The day after tomorrow, I'll go with you to find him the day after tomorrow. This kid doesn't give me face either, and he doesn't look at who is asking him to do something. Barrister Yue asked him to do a small favor, didn't he look up to him! ”
"I'm not going!"
"Why not go. The more he is afraid of trouble, the more annoying he will be! And then use him to death! Wanli followed Xiao Xia's words. He knew that Xiao Xia was very childish when she started her temper, and it was better to comfort her than to arouse her vindictiveness and competitiveness. He still can't tell if Natsu's recent endless nightmares are psychological problems or evil spirits, so he has to find out what the truth is anyway.
Sure enough, Xiao Xia acquiesced.
"Actually, then again, you can't blame him too much." Wan Li said good things for Ruan Zhan again, "Everyone's temperament is different, Ruan Zhan is a person who is not easy to understand, even if it is me, I can't fully understand him." However, I didn't expect you to be able to see through his disguise at once, which is amazing! ”
"Cut, don't you see who I am?"
"Yes, intuitive acuity is your greatest strength, you should choose to go with me, it's a pity to be a lawyer."
"What else to praise in one breath."
"It's not like a night! Or about Ruan Zhan, you're not interested in knowing why we're friends, and why do I say he can be psychic? ”
"Not interested." Xiao Xia was angry, but her heart was itching with curiosity.
"Then listen to it as a bedtime story. He and I have been friends for many years, in fact we have known each other since we were seven years old, and we have been twenty-four years now. He was not his father's biological son, but was picked up by his father when he was five years old, and later adopted him. I don't know if he remembers anything before he was five years old, but he never said it anyway. His adoptive father turned out to be a Taoist priest, and he wanted to defeat all ghosts, snakes, and gods and break all feudal superstitions, so he had to return to the world, and later lived in our town. His father was very knowledgeable in ancient literature and miscellaneous studies, and even his name was taken from ancient books. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, his name doesn't have anything profound except for feeling weird."
"I don't know, his name comes from "Book of Jin - Ruan Zhan Encounters Ghosts". I heard that this ancient Ruan Zhan was a ghostless theorist, and later met a person who debated with him about it, and in the end the debate was lost, but he told Ruan Zhan that he was a ghost and turned away. Ruan Zhan fell ill in surprise and later died. I don't know why his dad gave him this name, it may be a metaphor that he was born with some kind of ability, but it is not necessarily, just like you were born in the summer and called Xiao Xia, my parents want me to be thousands of miles away, so my name is Wanli. ”
"And how do you know he has 'that' ability?" Late at night, Xiao Xia didn't dare to say the word 'ghost', but this was the most curious about the relationship between Wanli and Ruan Zhan.
"I only met him when I was seven years old. A little strange happened in our school that year, and then there were some supernatural events when I was in college, but I can't tell you for the time being, you are in an unstable psychological state now, you will be frightened, and I will tell you about it when I have a chance to talk to you later. Believe me, he can see what we can't see, and he can drive them out. ”
"Aren't you afraid? Still friends with him? ”
"Afraid! How not to be afraid! But my curiosity was too great, and I overcame my fear. Having said that, our fate is really not shallow. We were in the same class from elementary school to junior high school, and in middle school, boys and girls were divided into the same table. When my family went to Chongqing in high school, we still corresponded with him who stayed in his hometown, but he didn't reply to me very much. I thought we were separated, but who would have thought that I would meet him again when I was in college in Beijing, and it was still the same department. ”
"He also studied psychology?" Xiao Xia was surprised. No wonder he is so good at disguise, but that can't escape her Yue Xiaoxia's fiery eyes.
"yes. But he finished his studies and disappeared again. Later, when I came to work in the city, I didn't expect to meet him again. He opened that bar at the time, and I don't know why he didn't pursue his profession. But you see, going around and around, we will always meet, we are destined to be friends by nature, and we can't run away. ”
"Sounds like you've been pursuing him." Xiao Xia is sarcastic.
"Huh? It's like that. He's a very passive person to feelings, I don't think we've known each other for too long, and I'm an empathetic and good person, and it's hard for us to be friends. ”
"I think it's because you've been friends since you were very young."
"Yes, that's the key factor. No matter how much children reject the outside world, they are always easy to make friends with each other. If I had known him since he was an adult, he would probably have been like you say, with a kind and gentle appearance, but in fact a thousand miles away. ”
"It's all your fault. I knew that he was that kind of character, but he still refused to go with me. Xiao Xia remembered Ruan Zhan's polite and resolute refusal, and couldn't help but feel that her self-esteem was hurt.
"You don't understand." Wanli felt Xiao Xia's unwillingness, and hurriedly said his thoughts, "Anyway, if I want to help you, I betrayed him, because I promised not to tell him about him." He'll be angry at me for breaking my promises, so it's going to be bad for me to go out of my way. When he dies down a bit, I have a better chance of showing up. ”
"But can he really help me?"
"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. I don't know if anyone is better than him, but I only know him, so that's the only thing I can do to help you. Don't think about it, get a good night's sleep, and we'll go find him the day after tomorrow. Whether you have dates or not, let's try it with a pole. Okay, I'm going to hang up, good night. ”
"Good night."
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Xia began to worry again. Still sleeping? She would have nightmares, and she couldn't stand being frightened again and again. Don't sleep, do you? She has to go to work tomorrow, and now she's heavy and uncomfortable.
Never mind! Let the chips fall where they may!
