I neither nodded nor shook my head at Bao Lina's question, but chose to remain silent.

In fact, there is no need for me to say anything more, Lina said self-deprecatingly: "Li Yun and I like the same song and the same person, it really smells like each other." ”

I said, "Don't talk so ugly, you should let the hero see the same thing." It's just that when it comes to don't break my heart, I won't break your heart. ”

Bao Lina smiled softly: "But you broke Li Yun's heart." It seems that hearing this song does not bode well, and maybe, you will really make me sad. ”

At this, Lina's voice was low, like a stone sinking to the bottom of an icy lake.

I couldn't help but turn my head to look at her, only to see two more lines of tears in her eyes, crystal tears condensing into shining pearls on her eyelashes.

The sight was beautiful, and a beautiful woman shed beautiful and gratuitous tears. I immediately remembered that Lina had also shed tears when she left the hospital that day.

I said, "Lina, tell me honestly, am I dying?"

Lina shouted in a trembling voice, "Don't talk nonsense, you are not bothered!"

I don't know why she was so angry, so I said I'm sorry.

Lina cried and said, "You won't die." If I really want to die, I will definitely die before you. ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm driving, don't mention whether I'm dead or not." ”

The car continued to drive along the teaching road, and when it turned the corner of Hangda Road, a small black shadow suddenly appeared on the wide road, to be precise, like the figure of some kind of animal, clinging to the ground, and brushing it over the left side of the front of the car.

I instinctively slammed on the brakes desperately and involuntarily slammed the steering wheel to the right.

At that moment, it occurred to me that if there was another car on the right, it would definitely crash.

Luckily, there was no car on the right.

At that moment, it was calm all around, save for the shrill screams of our car tires on the road as they braked suddenly.

After this creepy sharp grinding sound, there was silence. It seemed that at that moment, the originally busy road suddenly quieted down, and all the people and cars evaporated, only Lina and I sat in our own cars, as if entering another world.

Lina's face was bloodless, and she trembled with fright, and it took a long time before she said, "That, what is that?" ”

I tried to say as calmly as I could, "You saw that too?" It looked like something had just run past the front of the car. ”

I calmed my breath again and said, "It's not a human anyway, it's fine, maybe it's a dog or a cat." ”

I pulled over to the side of the road, thought about it, and went to the car door when I said to Lina, "I'll go down and have a look." ”

Lina grabbed me and said in a trembling and screaming, "Don't! Don't get out of the car, let's go, I'm a little, a little scared. ”

I had to release the brakes and continue on the road. After the car drove out for more than ten meters, I saw in the rearview mirror that by the street lights on the side of the road, I saw a black shadow lying motionless in the middle of the road. In this dimly lit world, it lay there like a mass of black threads.

I felt both scared and sad. The sadness may have been caused by guilt and panic, and perhaps the shadow was a dog, but I could feel that my wheels were indeed pressed against something.

Is it dead?

I suddenly remembered that when I was running a stall at Wenxin Book House, I had read a horror novel book out of boredom, saying that if you kill a black cat at twelve o'clock in the night, bad luck will befall the cat killer, and the black cat will immediately reincarnate and become a living person, and do everything possible to kill the cat killer. Of course, the way to kill is to let that person get into an inexplicable car accident.

I remembered this boring novel vividly, so I prayed to God in my heart while looking at the clock on the dashboard, twelve o'clock!

Yes, it's exactly twelve o'clock in the morning. And that dark shadow, maybe a cat?

I shook my head vigorously, shook the wild thoughts out of my head, and continued to drive intently.

At this point, though, all my nerves were tense, and I kept thinking from the bottom of my mind to see if it was a black cat.

The thought was so strong that my head began to ache again.

Back at the Bao Mansion, I drank a strong cup of green tea and began to calm down. But the price of calmness is not sleeping well all night, and thinking about everything in my head is like playing a movie, all the pictures are uncontrollably shaking and flashing in front of my eyes, scene after scene. Starting from the underground sidewalk of Yan'an Road four years ago, the distorted images are projected in a chaotic manner, as well as countless characters that flicker and flicker in the pictures. Zhao Xiaoxuan, Han Meiling, Jin Puguang, Li Yun, Liu Lili, Shen Hongtao, Cai Xiaohong, Chen Yifan, Du Qing, Bao Lina, Zheng Ying, Li Xiang, Dong Chunlei, another Zhou Xu, Lao Hu, Teacher He, Teacher Chen Qiang, Guo Ming, Qian Haiping, the beautiful poet Zhou Tenglan, the madman Zhang Ning who broke a finger, etc., and even the eccentric old man who unsigned for us on Jade Emperor Mountain, etc., etc., and even the eccentric old man who unsigned for us on Jade Emperor Mountain. The flash of dense figures wears me out.

But in any case, the New Year's Day of 1995 is approaching, the new year is about to begin, Du Qing is coming to Hangzhou, I am going to see him again, and all life will go on normally.

Why bother with mediocrity?

When I woke up the next day, I had some headaches again, and recently I found myself feeling inexplicably nauseous, feeling a tightness in my chest, and even the urge to vomit. This feeling is as uncomfortable as if you have eaten some expired food.

When I arrived at the company in the morning, I saw Chen Qili with a bitter gourd face, lying listlessly on the table, in a daze.

I asked him what had happened?

Chen Qili said with a sneer: "Zhao Xiaoxuan said that she is sick and will not come to work today." ”

I said it's just a sick day, what are you anxious about?

Chen Qili said depressedly: "She has already taken three days of sick leave." ”

I was taken aback and said, "Three days of sick leave? Why don't I know? ”

Chen Qili glanced at me and said, "You seem to have lost your soul these days, where do you still care about the company's affairs." I don't know what happened to Xiao Xuan. ”

I was ashamed to say that I hadn't cared about the company for a long time, and when I arrived at the company, I was just locked up in the general manager's office, thinking nonsense there. Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Xiaoxuan is very abnormal, she never came to see me during the days when I was hospitalized. It's not that I remember her coming to see me, but at least I should show a little, right?

Regardless of her, I will go to the general manager's office again as before. Chen Qili called me and said, someone is waiting for you in the general manager's office.

I casually answered and walked into my office, and then found that the person waiting for me in the general manager's office was Chen Hong.

I haven't seen her in a few days since I was in the hospital last time. In my opinion, she is getting thinner and thinner, and she has a fight with Lu Yu in later generations. Her face was very bad, like last time, she looked like she had not slept for several days, haggard and pale, not at all like a flower girl.

"What's the matter, reporter Chen, you're going to interview me again." I shrugged and smirked at her.
