Chapter Forty-Seven: A Midnight Whisper
When Lin Xiaozhi returned to the hotel where he was staying, it was already the second half of the night. The door was locked, and everyone was already resting. But fortunately, the boss knew that he was going to live for a long time, and gave him a key to the gate in advance.
I didn't turn on the light, so I took the flashlight and went down the stairs to my room on the fifth floor. Suddenly, a red light streaked through the darkness.
Lin Xiaozhi was taken aback.
It's not that he's timid, it's that the scene is too weird. A flickering red light moved in a parabolic trajectory in the silent darkness, like a ghostly fire dangling in the shadow.
"Who!"
Lin Xiaozhi let out a low sigh, which was considered to have given himself some courage, and at the same time, the strong light of the flashlight shone directly.
I saw a rickety figure curled up in the corner, holding a beer bottle in his left hand and a cigarette in his right hand.
It turned out that the flickering light was the cigarette butt in his hand, and Lin Xiaozhi relieved himself when he saw that it was a person. He walked over slowly, and noticed that the side of the man seemed a little familiar.
"Ah Xian!?"
Walking closer, Lin Xiaozhi finally recognized that the person sitting on the ground who was drunk turned out to be an old acquaintance.
"How do you drink so much? What's wrong? ”
Seeing that he was humming and didn't know what to say, Lin Xiaozhi had no choice but to open the door first, and then helped Ah Xian into the house.
Putting him down on the bed, then fetching water and scrubbing his face, Ah Xian relieved himself a little.
"Xiaozhi, I, I miss you......"
"Don't, buddy, don't scare me!" Lin Xiaozhi also wanted to pour him a glass of water, but when he heard this, his hand trembled, and he was so frightened that the water in the cup was spilled outside.
"I, I want you to help me ——。" Ah Xian's speech was still not very clear, and he didn't say a word.
"I'm scared to death, you finished installing the ghost fire and installing the glass in the middle of the night, does your mother know?"
"Water, water......" Ah Xian stretched out his hand to pull Xiaozhi's placket.
"Didn't you pour water? By the way, don't scratch your hands, it will make me feel distracted, no, upset. ”
Lin Xiaozhi handed the water cup in front of him and poured it in little by little. I felt sorry for this dress in my heart, after all, a beautiful woman had worn it just now, and now she was being pulled by a pair of dirty hands, which really affected her mood.
After Ah Xian drank the water, he finally understood, "I want to ask you something." ”
"I'll tell you what's going on in a moment, but tell me what's going on with you. In the middle of the night, the cat is not at home, what is the death of running here? ”
"Well, it's hard to put into words. I came to you because I couldn't stay at home anymore. ”
Looking at Ah Xian's bitter face, it really doesn't look like it's pretending. Lin Xiaozhi asked faintly, "There won't be anything wrong at home, right?" ”
"Well, I had a fight with my dad."
"Did it?"
"How do you know?"
"Look at your unbeaten expression, you know that your father must not be used to your bag. Tell me, because of what? Lin Xiaozhi pulled a chair and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I can't talk too much about this matter, but I can only tell you that because of the matter in the family mine, our two masters had different opinions, and then they quarreled, and then ...... I just got out of the way. Ah Xian spoke energetically, and put the wine down a lot. My brain is much clearer.
"Almost everyone in the whole town knows you, even if it's not your relatives and friends, they are all from the township, why did you come to me?" Lin Xiaozhi looked at him puzzled, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.
"Hey, it's because we all know each other that it's even harder to say what's in my heart. You're an outsider, you're done, you'll be gone in a few days, it doesn't matter. But these gossipy long-tongued women will not be able to let the whole town, the whole city, the whole country, and the whole earth know about it in less than half a day. I won't believe them. ”
"Well, in that case, tell me what you want me to do?"
"You are a top student in college, and you are from a big city, so you must have a lot of insight and brains." Ah Xian sat up, his eyes filled with passion.
"Don't be a sycophant, just say something. If you don't borrow money, you can borrow a life. Lin Xiaozhi pretended to be cold and said.
"What money to borrow, can I still be short of money? I just want to do my own business and not be attached to my dad. You are so capable, give me some advice, so that I can make a contribution. When I return home, let my father take a good look at it and stop underestimating me. ”
"This ......" Lin Xiaozhi lowered his head and muttered, "I was really inspecting a project two days ago, if you don't mention it, I want to do it myself." ”
"What's the matter? Do you make money or not? Can I do it? ”
Listening to Ah Xian's series of questions, Xiao Zhi did not rush to answer. Instead, he raised his head and looked out the window, and said slowly: "If you can do it, you can do it, but before I say it, you have to promise me one condition......
