Ringer took the excited Lanya to the convenience store, and along the way, the little girl looked around curiously, and kept asking him what it was, chirping like a little sparrow.

Luckily, it was the middle of the night, and there was no one on the street, otherwise she would have been taken for a weirdo.

The convenience store is located at the crossroads, just minutes from the entrance to the Emerald Bar, and when the two of them walk to the door, the glass door automatically separates, accompanied by the electronic sound of welcome.

Lanya took a step back in fright, raising her wand in her hand—it looked more like a twig.

At this time, a female white-collar worker in her thirties walked out of the store, gave them a strange look, and left in a hurry.

Linger pressed the staff in Lanya's hand and explained to her with some amusement: "Don't be nervous, this is an automatic sensor door. ”

"Oh."

Lan Ya put away her staff, lowered the brim of her hat embarrassedly, and followed Ringer into the store.

Ringer bought two pieces of bread and two cups of hot milk, settled the bill with the strange eyes of the clerk, and hurried away with Lanya.

"This is so fragrant, can I eat it now?" Lanya's little hand holding the bread trembled slightly.

Ringer smiled, "Of course. ”

Lan Ya tore open the package and took a bite of the bread, her amethyst-like eyes trembling slightly, and her eyes welled up with happiness and emotion.

"You are such a good person, not only invited me to eat grapes, but also gave me such good food, I will definitely repay you."

Her reaction was too exaggerated, what kind of life did she live before?

"It's just a loaf of bread, you don't have to take it to heart what you say in return."

Lanya took another sip of hot milk, and the sweet warm milk flowed into her mouth, making her feel warmer than ever, and she held up the bottle and added:

"It's not just bread, it's this."

The two returned to the Emerald Bar, where the "Open" sign on the door had gone out, and the wind chimes in front of the door shook softly, making a subtle sound.

Ringer twisted the doorknob, but didn't twist it.

"Wouldn't it be closed so soon?"

He knocked on the door, but there was no response.

What can I do, I have to send this child back, I can't leave her alone on the street at night.

He didn't have the key to the store yet, nor did he have the contact information of Nilou or Elise, but he did have the phone number of the store manager, and he had contacted the store manager when he applied for the job.

By the way, call the store manager.

Ringer immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the store manager's number.

Lan Ya on the side didn't seem to feel anything about her situation, she finished eating the bread in her hand, a glass of milk in her stomach, and stared at the bag in Ringer's hand again.

The call went through.

"Hey, is that the store manager?"

"It's Ringer, what's the matter with calling so late?" A neutral voice came from the other end of the line.

After Ringer explained the situation, he smiled on the other end of the phone: "It seems that you already know the special features of our store, you won't run away, right?" ”

"As long as the salary is paid, I won't leave."

Six hours of work and a lot of pay were also one of the reasons Ringer chose this shop.

"Haha, that's good, you're the first candidate I fancied, and I'll be very sad if you escape."

"Manager, could you please contact Nilou or Elise and ask them to open the door for me?" I want to send this kid back. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work, they're no longer in the store, and I can't call them after hours."

"Can you please—"

"No, I'm very busy right now, just let her stay with you for the night, no problem."

"Hey, store manager—"

Suddenly there was a violent explosion on the other end of the phone, and there was no sound.

Ringer glanced at Lanya, who was still trying to lick the inner wall of the milk bottle with her little tongue, and was a little helpless, it seemed that she could only take her back.

"Lanya, would you like to come and stay with me for one night?"

Lanya put down the milk bottle, and there was a circle of milk stains on her mouth.

"Okay."

She agreed almost without any hesitation.

Ringer was surprised: "You just believe in me like that, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" ”

Lan Ya's smile was full of trust: "I said a long time ago, you are a good person, and your soul is very clean. ”

"Can you really see the soul?"

"Of course, I'm ...... Sorcerer. ”

"What wizard?"

There were two words in the middle that were too whispering for Ringer to hear.

"Well, nothing."

Lan Ya lowered her head, as if she was a little embarrassed, looking at her appearance, Ringer didn't want to ask any more questions, and led her back to the residence.

He lives on the seventh floor of a nearby shared apartment, and in addition to his room, there are two rooms that are rented to others, a couple and a male college student.

Based on the time in the East 8th District of the Earth, his work hours at the Emerald Bar were between 6 and 12 p.m., and when he and Lanya returned to the apartment building, it was exactly past 30 p.m.

"Wow, is this Mr. Ringer's castle, so tall."

Lanya held her hat and looked up at the window-filled building in front of her.

"There's only one room inside, and it's not mine, I'm just a tenant."

"Oh."

The sensor light on the first floor is broken, it has not been repaired, and it is a little dim.

After the elevator door opened, a warm and bright light dispelled the darkness, and Ringer walked inside, and after pressing the button on the 7th floor, he found Lanya still standing outside.

"What's wrong?"

In the light of the elevator lights, Ringer saw the flush on her face.

"Is this Mr. Ringer's room? It was too small, and even if Mr. Ringer's soul was clean, I would be shy to spend one night in such a cramped room with a man I had just known for a day. ”

Ringer couldn't help but laugh: "This is not my room, this is the elevator." ”

"Elevator?"

"I'll explain to you later, you should come in first, otherwise the elevator will be called."

Lan Ya finally stepped into the elevator and asked curiously, "You mean this small room will be called?" What does it call like? ”

"Didi's warning sound."

"Really? I'd love to hear about it. "She's like a curious child.

The elevator door closed and began to rise, Lanya grabbed Ringer's arm.

"This iron room is moving?"

"Don't be nervous, it'll be there soon." Ringer comforted.

The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, the elevator doors opened again, and Lanya grabbed Ringer's arm and left the elevator.

Ringer smiled slightly, led her to the door of 703, entered the code, and led her into the room.

As the two entered the room, the door to the room on the right suddenly opened, and out of it came a young man in a tank top and pants, with messy hair and a pair of glasses.

He was one of the occupants of the house, a student at a nearby university, who said he was going to graduate school, but Ringer only saw him playing games all night.

The two didn't communicate much, but they had seen his name in the household group, and it seemed to be Gao Wenyang.

He saw the two people entering the room, lifted his glasses, and his eyes swept over Lanya, who was holding Ringer's arm, she was still wearing a wizard's robe and an exaggerated hat.

"Huh? Coser？ ”
