After chewing wax at the street noodle restaurant and returning home in a daze, Chen An's mental state is swaying between tension and trance, restraint on one side and depression on the other, and he may fall into the abyss called collapse at any time.

His heart was completely messed up.

Anxiety, panic, dazedness and other uneasy negative emotions constantly hit his brain, even if he wants to calm down for a moment, he can't do it, because all kinds of cranky speculations are popping up in his brain all the time, although he can empty his head and think about nothing, but this kind of negative daze is no different from avoidance.

"Chen An, what's wrong with you?

Xia Qin, who did not work overtime, returned home earlier than Chen An, when Chen An opened the door, she was lying on the small sofa boredly reading fashion magazines to pass the time, and Chen An's abnormality obviously attracted her attention, but she didn't think much about it, just because of her busy work, after all, sometimes she worked overtime too late and came home This is this virtue, so physically and mentally exhausted that she feels that she doesn't want to pay attention to anything, she just wants to lie in bed and rest. Especially when the eldest aunt came, she was like a powder keg, and she would explode if she didn't like it a little.

"Something went wrong with my work today, and I was criticized. Chen An took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, barely squeezed out a smile, and explained to Xia Qin half-truthfully.

"Is the problem serious?" Xia Qin suddenly asked.

"Somewhat, the manager warned me, saying that if this continues, it will affect my regular evaluation. Chen An sighed lightly.

"No wonder your face is so gloomy and depressed. Xia Qin beckoned to him. "Come to my sister, let my sister comfort and comfort you. ”

"Don't worry, my brother still has a little bit of pressure resistance. Chen An couldn't cry or laugh, so he reached out and rubbed Xia Qin's little head, and lay on her shoulder with his eyes closed and recuperated.

Xia Qin hugged Chen An's head and whispered, "Are you tired?"

"No matter how tired you are, you can't be more tired. Chen Andao. "Just get some sleep. ”

"Chen An, lately, I always feel that you have something to hide from me. Xia Qin's fingers stroked and smoothed out Chen An's somewhat messy hair, and said suddenly.

"You and I get along day and night, what can I hide from you. Chen Anxin was stunned, but he said quietly on the surface.

"Intuition, a woman's intuition!" Xia Qin said as she held Chen An's head to herself with both hands. "Chen An, open your eyes and look at me. ”

"What are you doing?" Chen An said helplessly.

"You look me in the eye now and tell me that you have nothing to hide from me. Xia Qin said with a serious expression.

"Alright, don't make a fuss. However, Chen An directly broke his head away from Xia Qin's hands and stood up, and walked straight towards the bedroom. "I'm going to take a shower. ”

Xia Qin was stunned for a moment, she didn't continue to ask, just looked deeply at his back.

As a childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, Xia Qin can be said to be the person who knows Chen An the best in the world, from his evasion of his questioning just now, Xia Qin was sure that he had something in his heart, since he was not ready to say, she naturally would not get to the bottom of it, she knew that Chen An would definitely confess to her when the time came.

Everyone has something to hide, and excessive curiosity is not necessarily a good thing.

When he came back from the bath, Xia Qin was already lying on the bed reading a book, he knew what Xia Qin was aware of, but she didn't expose it directly, for which he was very grateful to Xia Qin for his reasonableness, but the pressure on his back became heavier and heavier, and he was hesitating to tell Xia Qin the truth on the way to the bath, the question was whether she would believe the absurd things that had happened to her? Moreover, he didn't want to drag Xia Qin into the quagmire he was currently in.

"We have a holiday the day after tomorrow, what about you?"

As soon as Chen An lay on the bed, Xia Qin asked as if nothing had happened.

"If nothing else, the holiday will not be cancelled. Chen An said casually.

Excluding the statutory holidays of the Great Week, all regular enterprises and companies in Cangyang have a unified weekend off, and if they encounter a black company, they may take a break for ten days, or a day off for fifteen days, especially in the suburbs, some unlicensed black factories are exaggerated to the point of no rest all year round. In fact, in terms of hard work alone, these foreign low-level workers who came to Cangyang to beg for a living are a hundred times harder than Chen An and them, if it weren't for a loud signboard from Lushan College, I'm afraid Chen An and they wouldn't be much better.

"It's rare to have time to go on a date, let's go skating the day after tomorrow. Xia Qin suggested. "And I still want to eat hot pot in the winter!"

"No problem. Chen An nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I heard from my sister that there is a hot spring restaurant that has recently opened in Dongcai Mountain, and you will enjoy a seven-percent discount during the opening period, how about we go there to soak in the hot springs at night?" Xia Qin said with great interest.

"Yes, it's all up to you. Chen An chuckled.

"After being busy for so long, it's time to relax and rest. Xia Qin said with emotion. "I guess we'll not have much time to go out and have fun until the end of the year. ”

Chen An understood what Xia Qin meant, the more the year ended, the busier he was at work,

"Don't think too much, anyway, there are not many days left before the end of the New Year, and you can go home for the New Year. ”

"It's not early, turn off the lights and go to bed. ”

......

......

Chen An slept very comfortably this night, because the little girl in red never appeared to disturb his mind, but he knew that the other party was likely to stare at him all the time in places he couldn't see.

It is said that he has not dreamed for a while, more precisely, since he came to Lushan Academy to go to school, he no longer dreams as frequently as before, as time goes by, dreams have become irregular, sometimes once every three days, sometimes only once in half a month, and the content of the dream is not as weird and grotesque as before, often standing in the eyes of ordinary people to experience a different life.

Maybe it's because he dreams too much, and the memory of the dream quickly dissipates and forgets after waking up, causing him to pay little attention to the situation of the dream, and the records in the diary have become simpler, far less detailed than before.

After a busy day's work, stretch and walk out of the company gate.

Chen An's footsteps suddenly froze.

Because he saw the little girl in red not far in front of him beckoning to him with a smile, and the meaning was self-evident.

Fists clenched, released, and taking a deep breath, he walked up with a blank face.

There is no escape, there is no escape.

He had no choice but to accept reality.

I took the public tram to the grocery store in Nancheng District, and the owner of the store was still lying in a chair listening to the opera on the radio as he had done yesterday, and he tapped on the counter to wake the boss.

"Young man, are you here?" said the old man with a heavy yawn.

"Hmm. ”

"I helped you find the person you want to inquire, the other party moved here two months ago, it seems that his surname is Lan, but he doesn't remember his name, he now lives in 505 of the building at number 1056. "The old man didn't drag the mud along the waterway.

"Thank you, boss. Chen An did not continue to be polite, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Forgive me for asking, what happened to that kid?" stopped the old man.

"Debt. ”

Debt for human life!

Chen An added in his heart, and then walked out of the grocery store.

According to the old man's instructions, Chen An found No. 1056 along the house number, he stood at the mouth of the alley, looked up at the building in front of him that had been illegally added to the five-story building, the 505 where the other party lived was on the top floor, night fell, and the room on the fifth floor was only lit up in the innermost room.

He was hesitating to go upstairs and investigate.

Let's call the police?...... There is no evidence to call the police, not to mention that after calling the police to startle the snake, once the other party moves out of here, it will not be easy to find him again, you must know that the little girl in red has only two days left in the deadline for him.

At this time.

A cold-faced young man walked slowly from a distance, and finally stopped in front of building number 1056, with long hair, small eyes, and thick lips, although he couldn't see whether there was a black mole on his lips because of the light, Chen An could almost conclude that the other party was the evil person that the little girl in red said.

Do you want to keep up?

As soon as he had this idea, the young man who was about to enter Building 1056 paused, and instantly turned his head to look at the mouth of the alley where Chen An was, so frightened that Chen An immediately retracted his head.

"Are you looking for me?"

After a long time, Chen calmed down his violently beating heart, cautiously poked his head out to look at the building, only to find that the young man had long disappeared from the staircase, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a cold voice suddenly came out of his back that made him almost lose his soul.

His neck turned stiffly, and he saw the disappeared young man standing behind him, his hands in the pockets of his jacket, looking at him with a smile on his face.
