Shen Jie woke up from the darkness.

She didn't know if the darkness was so deep because the blackout curtains were tightly drawn, or because it was already night.

My head hurts.

The girl sat up with difficulty, her vision blurry - she felt as if she had been hit by a big truck, her breath was short, her heart was pounding, her mouth was dry, and her throat felt like a fire was burning.

She took a minute to think about whether she was sleeping or taking a nap, whether it was morning or night, and where she was.

She struggled to remember what had happened before she fell asleep, but only scattered fragments floated in her mind, like stirred sediment under water, unable to condense into a complete memory. She could only vaguely remember drinking cocktails with her stepmother, and then, and then......

And then there was no then?

It seemed like a morning thing.

She sighed and lowered her hand, feeling her throat so thirsty that it felt like it was about to burst into flames.

She tried to stand up, but she had to hold her hands on the side of the bed, her limbs were unusually heavy, as if each had its own thoughts, and did not listen to the command of her brain. She tried to open her mouth, but the thirst and the smell of alcohol in her mouth made her shiver.

Every time she thought about it, it was like squeezing her brain, making her head more painful.

She slowly raised her head and looked in the direction of the sunny glass room, only to see that it was pitch black, and the curtains were closed, blocking all light. She felt her vitality slowly fade away, and she just wanted to bury herself under the covers until all the hangover symptoms were gone.

Shen Jie shook her head, trying to sober herself up.

She failed.

The temperature of the air conditioner was very cold, and the girl got back into the warm bed, ready to sleep first.

No, drink water.

Shen Jie got out of bed and fumbled to turn on the light switch on the wall.

That's right, it's your own boudoir, not some messy place.

On the desk is a beautiful plate with a bowl of rice and a few delicious side dishes.

Her eyes fell on the fruit and vegetable juice on the side of the plate, and she reached for it and drank it down.

"Ah......h

Then I touched the rice, and sure enough, it was already cold.

Shen Jie leaned on the surrounding walls, staggered into the bathroom, lifted the lid of the smart toilet, and sat down.

She listened to the sound of "Zizi" water coming from below her, narrowed her eyes comfortably, and emptied her brain.

……

Suddenly, a teenager appeared in the empty brain.

It was an angry face.

In her imagination, the face was distorted with anger and teary-eyed with sadness.

The sound of the water in the "Zizi" stopped abruptly and was cut off by force. The girl didn't even bother to wipe it or wait for the smart toilet to be washed, so she jumped up, rushed out of the bathroom, and ran to her bedside.

Cell phone, cell phone, cell phone......

Ah, here it is.

The screen was pitch black, and no matter how much I pressed it, it didn't respond.

Line, line......

Shen Jie hurriedly plugged the charging cable into the interface of the mobile phone.

Because of the shaking of my hands, I tried several times before I successfully inserted it.

From charging to being able to turn on, you have to wait a few minutes.

The girl's eyes were on the clock in the room, and the hands pointed to about 11 o'clock.

On the bright side, I've only slept for a few hours.

But unfortunately, this is not possible.

After all, even the rice is frozen like that......?

To put it worse, it's noon the next day.

Not really.

As a result of the compromise, it was 11 p.m.

Shen Jie ran to the sunshine glass room with her feet on her feet, and tore open the curtains to confirm that it was night.

Call......

"Hurry, hurry." Shen Jie ran back to the bed and pressed the power button desperately.

As soon as her phone was lit up, she received a bombardment of text messages.

40+ unread messages are displayed on QQ.

Although it had been expected for a long time, Shen Jie still felt a numb scalp.

She didn't feel much disgusted, she just felt it...... Get cold feet?

didn't have the time to check the content of the text message and QQ, so the girl directly called Xiao Yao with a shortcut dial.

"Toot-toot-"

The phone sent out a long waiting tone, and Xiao Yao did not answer the call in seconds as she imagined.

In the process of waiting, the timidity in her heart increased.

Shen Jie can imagine that what is waiting for her on the other end of the phone is not a thunderous storm, but a hysterical cry.

This timidity made the girl's fingers unconsciously move to the button that broke the phone.

Why don't you think about what to say before you call?

Just as she was about to cut off the phone, the other side answered.

"Hey." On the other end of the line rang the familiar and slightly hoarse voice of the teenager.

Shen Jie was agitated and blurted out: "Husband, I was wrong, don't be angry, I really, really didn't mean it, all this is purely accidental, how do you want me to compensate you, I promise you, I really know it's wrong, next time I won't-"

"Don't worry, speak slowly," the young man interrupted her, his tone surprisingly calm: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiao Yao's attitude calmed Shen Jie a little, and her timidity was reduced by three points.

She realized that Xiao Yao was not Shen Hongsheng after all.

The girl settled down and told Xiao Yao how she got up this morning and was invited by Luo Yunxuan to taste her special cocktail, how the two of them talked while drinking, and how she slept until she woke up at night.

"Really," in the end, Shen Jie made a concluding statement: "I don't lie to you, the first thing I did when I woke up was to call you quickly, halfway through the toilet, and when I saw that the phone was charged and turned on, I quickly ran out-"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the ...... phone.

"Hello? What's wrong? Shen Jie was a little nervous again: "I really, really didn't lie to you." ”

"You just said that you can compensate me as much as you want?" Xiao Yao let out a chuckle.

"......" Shen Jie closed her mouth tightly and began to regret Fang Cai's unscrupulous words.

Fortunately, the other party did not continue to climb along the pole.

"Cocktails like this?" The opposite side of the conversation changed sharply: "Your mother is giving you sweat medicine?" ”

"Haha, I think so too," Shen Jie said, "I rarely drink like this, and I always feel that I don't drink that much." ”

"Then ......" Xiao Yao's voice sounded very gentle: "Are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Shen Jie nodded, although the other party couldn't see her movements: "Even when I first got up, my head still hurt a little, but now it's a little better." ”

"You're okay, then I'll be relieved." Xiao Yao sighed.

"Thank you......" Shen Jie was both moved and guilty: "I'm really sorry for worrying you, I will definitely try to avoid this kind of thing in the future." ”

"Is your aunt here?" Xiao Yao's words changed.

Shen Jie lifted her nightdress and glanced at it: "Not yet." ”

"That's it." Xiao Yao's voice sounded a little lost.

"It's okay, don't think too much." Shen Jie comforted him.

"Why don't you get a doctor tomorrow?" Xiao Yao proposed.

"Not really......" Shen Jie's tone was a little hesitant.

It stands to reason that finding a family doctor is not a big deal for her, and it can be arranged at any time.

However, for reasons that you readers can imagine, Shen Jie didn't really want Shen Hongsheng to know about it.

"I just had a dream." Xiao Yao said.

"What a dream, you say." Shen Jie said.

……

"What Thin Hell? Still Shen Di Yun? What the hell is this name? Shen Jie laughed on the other end of the phone.

So, Xiao Yao explained to her the concept he had just learned about the so-called "Spiritual Prison".

Shen Jie listened to it, and felt hairy in her heart, but her mouth was full of indifference: "What the hell, you really think a lot." ”

"That's right," Xiao Yao admitted, "I also think I'm thinking a lot." And you're missing, and I'm even more anxious, even more cranky—"

"Okay," Shen Jie decided to appease him: "For the rest of my life, in the days to come, as long as it is your child, I will die to give birth." ”

She felt that she should be embarrassed to say this, but she didn't know why, she just didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"Thank you. Wait—what's the matter," Xiao Yaorui commented, "I still want to have other people's children." ”

Shen Jie hugged the phone and laughed again, but her heart became more and more uneasy.

She didn't know if she really had the strength to make such a heavy promise, she just knew that she didn't want to continue this weird topic now.

I hope everything is really safe...... Shen Jie thought.

Fortunately, before she could ask to change the subject, Xiao Yao had already started talking about the "disappearance case" again.

For Shen Jie now, it's better to talk about this.

"I'm ...... today I sent you a lot of QQ and text messages," Xiao Yao said with some expectations: "There are some ...... in it Well, all kinds of information, some of which are more anxious, mixed with some emotional information, you delete them, don't read them. ”

"Huh......?" Shen Jie deliberately lengthened her nasal voice: "Okay, then I'll delete it all." ”

"Uh-huh." Xiao Yao said.

Shen Jie secretly decided to read all the information as soon as she hung up the phone.

Xiao Yao began to babble to himself again about how worried, anxious, and unintentional he would be when his disappearance would make him - and Shen Jie also swore to him repeatedly that he would never make an example.

"Do you want me to write you an examination and send it over?" In the end, Shen Jie said half-jokingly.

"Check...... Forget it. Xiao Yao said: "But if this kind of problem occurs again, I will feel very disappointed." ”

What Xiao Yao said made Shen Jie think of what Shen Hongsheng said, "I will be very, very disappointed in you", and immediately felt a little disgusted, but she didn't show it.

The two chatted for about 20 minutes, and Shen Jie couldn't help but politely remind him that he was hungry. After she and Xiao Yao exchanged goodnights, she hung up the phone, unplugged the charging cable, walked to the door of her bedroom, and rang the bell calling the maid.

Then, she walked back to the bathroom, took off her pajama pants, sat down on the smart toilet again, and began to review Xiao Yao's text messages one by one.

-- Dividing line --

The next morning, Xiao Yao was woken up by Yu Luying's phone call and asked him to come to class.

Shen Jie's good morning QQ message was already lying on his phone, and he asked him if he had fun with the silly girl in the war park yesterday.

"I don't think you're too anxious, the horses are running and dancing." Shen Jie said.

Did you hit a rake?

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, knowing that the other party did not follow his own requirements, deleted and did not read all the messages and messages.

He asked Shen Jie's relatives if they came, and the answer was still negative, but Xiao Yao had already decided not to think about it all the time.

The course was still held in the large conference room in the corner of the first floor of the Sacred Heart Church, and the "Creed" has been completed, and today it will officially enter the "Seven Sacraments" and "Ten Commandments".

After the class was over, Yu Bo did not dismiss everyone as before, and took Xiao Yao, Daiyu and others to practice, but invited everyone to have a big pot of rice.

"I cooked borscht myself," Yu Bo lifted the lid of the kitchen pressure cooker, sniffed it, and closed it again: "There is also old hen soup, how is the craftsmanship, everyone will give me more advice." ”

"It smells so good." Xiao Yao took a deep breath and said honestly.

"I'm already looking forward to it!" The hairtail fish also looks like an index finger is moving.

"Why didn't Yan Xiao come with you today?" Xiao Yao asked the hairtail.

"She's, huh," Daiyu said with an embarrassed look, "she's-she's not too interested, is she?" ”

Chen Lu didn't come today, except for Yu Luying, today is all hooligan monk class. The dishes are good, in addition to the borscht and chicken soup cooked by Yu Bo himself, there are also a few dishes fried by the old aunt in the hall, which is a rather hearty lunch.

At the dinner table, Yu Bo announced the arrangements for the first social practice activity tomorrow, and asked everyone not to ask for leave unless necessary in principle.

After lunch, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying did not go to the Modern Cafe again, but directly began to brush up on the questions in the empty room on the second floor of the church.

"I don't think it's that simple," Yu Luying frowned: "If it's according to your-hers, I feel like her stepmother deliberately drunk her, even drugged." ”

"When did you become a conspiracy theorist," Xiao Yao said with a smile: "No, Shen Jie has a good relationship with her stepmother, and it's not a fairy tale, where did so many vicious stepmothers come from." ”

Yu Luying shrugged.

"Besides," Xiao Yao said, "what about turning her medicine over?" What's the picture? ”

While speaking, Yu Bo had already pushed the door and walked in: "After the social practice activities are over tomorrow, I will go to the hospital to see Zhou Qi, will you two go with me?" - Nothing arranged, right? ”

"Zhou Qi?" Xiao Yao said in surprise: "Zhou Qi hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet?" ”
