Chapter 40: The Haunted Eve (2)
"Qi Ming, what are you doing, let go!"
Li Shuxin originally wanted to take the wine list to Qi Ming to order wine, but who expected that the other party didn't answer, and directly grabbed her hand and walked to the bar manager's room.
"Follow me."
Qi Ming didn't say much, and his face was not very good, so he took Li Shuxin to the manager's room.
The office was suddenly opened, and the rough-looking bar manager was stunned, he still had a little impression of Li Shuxin, who was being held behind Qi Ming, who was a new employee yesterday.
"Excuse me, what's the matter with me?"
"I brought her to do the resignation procedures."
The male manager glanced at Qi Ming suspiciously, then turned his head and asked Li Shuxin, "Who is he?" ”
Li Shuxin hesitated for a moment, and Qi Ming immediately said, "I am her younger brother." ”
As soon as the male manager heard that it was the employee's family, he didn't say anything more, and settled Li Shuxin's salary today.
One second he was still at work, and the next he left his job.
Li Shuxin is really angry!
As soon as she left the manager's office, she immediately shook off Qi Ming's hand holding her, and said with a cold face: "Don't hold me!" ”
Qi Ming, who was walking in front, didn't say anything, said hello to the fat man, and left the bar first.
Li Shuxin's heavy chest rose and fell violently with her breathing, and those who knew her knew that it was a sign of anger.
"Qi Ming! Stop! Why are you interfering in my life?! Li Shuxin followed angrily, and said in a dissatisfied tone.
“.... Is this the place you should be as a girl? Qi Ming looked at her calmly, his gaze falling on the other party's cold and pretty face.
Hearing the boy's answer, Li Shuxin was slightly annoyed, and her tone was angry: "I don't steal or rob, is there anything wrong with my hard-earned money?!" ”
Qi Ming remained silent, if it was normal, he would definitely calm down and explain it clearly to this sister. But tonight, he suddenly bumped into the other party working in a bar, which made him take her to resign without thinking about it in a hurry.
Although I was thinking about her and didn't want her to continue to stay in such a bad place, I just didn't expect to provoke this sister to lose her temper.
Qi Ming was reprimanded a few words one after another, and his anger also came up, "If you stay here for a long time, you will be ruined!" Are you short of food or drink? Can't you be a little more motivated as a girl? ”
It may be that she has never seen Qi Ming lose her temper at her, Li Shuxin panicked, paused when the words came to her mouth, pursed her lips tightly, and kept silent. Then no matter how Qi Ming asked, she just refused to say a word.
Hearing Qi Ming's accusation, Li Shuxin was calm on the surface, but she was very uncomfortable in her heart.
She didn't think Qi Ming understood her and understood her.
The boy in front of him will never understand how difficult his life is and how fragile his heart is. Since she was a child, she has never been favored by her parents, and her parents in her original family are basically quarrelling, no one has taken care of her, and no one has helped her.
It wasn't until after her parents divorced that she arrived at her new home, and since then, Li Shuxin, who has been strong, has relied on herself to do everything.
Li Shuxin, who was also absent-minded because Qi Ming lost his temper at her, suddenly heard Qi Ming's sentence, "Can't girls be motivated?" ”
Li Shuxin, who couldn't bear it, suddenly panicked, and yelled at Qi Ming: "Who are you?" Why do you care about me?! I just don't know shame, what does it have to do with you?! ”
After saying that, a wave of anger appeared in her chest out of thin air.
Then, she raised her voice in a heavy tone: "Get out of the way!" ”
Next, she walked away briskly in Qi Ming's sight.
Qi Ming's lips moved with difficulty, wanting to shout that her idea had not been put into practice after all....
◇
Darkness reigns over the city of Egret Island.
Coming back from the bar, Li Shuxin sat on the edge of the bed in the bedroom in a messy mood, the more she thought about what had just happened, the more irritated she became, took a deep breath, and slammed herself on the bed.
Why! Why!
His peaceful life, because of this unrelated brother, was completely disrupted!
No one has ever taken care of her since she was a child, and no one has helped her, especially after graduating from college, she moved out of the house to support herself, and many things are done by herself.
Until the last time she moved, she saw that Qi Ming helped her clean up, and helped her buy the missing things together.
Looking at the back of Qi Ming leaving that night, at that moment, she suddenly felt a long-lost warmth in her heart, which had never been seen before.
When Qi Ming lost his temper at her tonight, she was stunned, and her indescribable emotions instantly crawled all over her heart. Maybe it was at that time that she suddenly discovered that there was still someone in this world who cared about her like this.
But obviously since she was a child, everything about that younger brother was disgusting to her!
In the noisy thoughts, Li Shuxin was in a trance, thinking why did he care so much about him? And since the separation, I don't need to be taken care of by others, and I should get used to living alone.
It's all to blame on that guy arguing with himself! A guy who not only likes to nag but also likes to meddle with his own affairs. I will never change my impression of this kind of guy! Now at best, I'm just used to having him!
Li Shuxin thought so, and after taking a deep breath, she decided to put aside her distracting thoughts and concentrate on not thinking about it anymore.
Then, she rolled into the quilt, closed her eyes, and kept hypnotizing herself to fall asleep as quickly as possible.
She wanted to close her eyes, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. Her arm on her forehead slowly slid down, and she sat up from the bed and sighed lowly.
"Can't sleep...."
She took another deep breath, trying to empty her mind, to concentrate and distract herself from everything she had had done about the man tonight and before.
After only half a minute, she gave up.
She lay on her side on the bed, the warm yellow light of the lamp shining on her delicate profile.
Because she is afraid of the dark, she always has a desk lamp on when she sleeps.
Watching the time on her phone screen jump from 9:13 to 9:17 p.m., she was still tossing and turning.
"How the hell can I fall asleep...."
Suddenly, her mind moved, and she thought of the picture she had just drunk at the bar to earn tips. She immediately put on a thin coat and went barefoot to the entrance.
Put on your shoes, open the door, and go downstairs.
Soon bought a few cans of craft beer from the convenience store downstairs and returned to the apartment.
In order to get drunk and completely forget everything tonight, Li Shuxin did not hesitate at all, unscrewed a can of beer, raised her snow-white neck and took a big sip.
"Ahem... Ahem..."
"It's so unpleasant...."
Slowly, a can of beer was drunk.
She unscrewed the second jar on her own....
.....
Click-
At this moment, the entire apartment suddenly went out of power!!
.....
Li Shuxin pressed the power switch on the wall a few times, but the light still didn't turn on.
The landlord in the WeChat tenant group said that a line was broken and was calling an electrician to repair it.
Li Shuxin's brain was dizzy, but in the environment of the power outage in the rental house, she did not feel the slightest sleep.
Since she was a child, she has been particularly afraid of the dark, which comes from the shadows caused by her childhood.
Since she was a child, her mother never accompanied her at night, and always let her sleep alone. Sometimes my mother was angry with my father and didn't come back all night.
When she was in the third grade, the teacher asked the class to write an essay on the topic of "Mother", and Li Shuxin's first personality change began at that time.
She wrote: My mom doesn't love my dad, I don't think she loves me either, and many times I can't understand why she gave birth to me....
My mother was silent for a long time when she saw this composition. That night, Li Shuxin hid in the quilt as usual and didn't dare to fall asleep. The mother walked in unusually, turned on a lamp, and told her: As long as there is light, the bad people will not dare to come.
As a result, Li Shuxin has since developed the habit of turning on a table lamp as soon as he sleeps.
.....
In the dark environment, Li Shuxin didn't dare to continue drinking, not only because he was too strong to drink, but also because he was afraid of the dark.
She slowly lay down on the couch, closed her eyes, and waited quietly for the drunkenness to come.
The alcohol seemed to turn into a violent wind and waves, like a blizzard, she didn't know why she was inexplicably uncomfortable, and she couldn't suppress her emotions.
Suddenly, she heard the phone ringing, Li Shuxin absentmindedly took it from the table and saw that it was actually Qi Ming calling.
Her dizzy and disobedient brain let the messy thoughts go unfettered, and the alcohol became the fuse that ignited the explosives!
Li Shuxin's chest gave birth to a wave of anger out of thin air, and she resisted and directly refused to answer the call.
What she didn't know was that Qi Ming, who was downstairs in the apartment, looked at the rejected phone call and smiled bitterly.
Then he walked straight into the apartment and prepared to go upstairs to apologize to Li Shuxin.
It's just that what Qi Ming didn't notice was that the system inventory had changed at this time.
