Ruan Jiaojiao didn't sleep well this night.

In a daze, she seemed to feel the wind and hear the crashing of the waves.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a back in a trance, a very familiar back.

The woman stood in front of the railing of the deck in a long black dress, her long hair was tied up with a hosta, and a glass of champagne in her hand.

It's the deck, it's the deck on the ship.

She saw the lights all around, saw the sea breeze blowing the woman's long skirt and the broken hair around her neck, and faintly heard the sound of laughter coming from the side.

Ruan Jiaojiao wanted to get closer and see the woman's appearance, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move, so she could only look at the woman's back.

After a very long wait, she heard a familiar voice not far away, which seemed to call the woman's name.

She couldn't really hear it, but it felt unusually familiar.

The woman turned around when she heard the call, Ruan Jiaojiao also saw the woman's side face, and before she could react, her brain suddenly went blank and she lost consciousness.

She sank into the next dream.

……

In the wee hours of the morning, the moon hung high in the sky and was unusually bright.

With the sound of cicadas chirping and crickets, and the sound of the stream murmuring, the man opened the fence of the small courtyard and walked in.

He took off his shirt and took out all the things in his trouser pockets and put them on the bamboo chair in the courtyard.

Then, by the moonlight, he walked under the window of the small courtyard, picked up the wooden spoon in the water tank and poured water on his body.

Spoonfuls of water were poured from the head, and seeing that it was almost over, the man wiped his face, took the things from the chair, opened the door and walked in.

Smear put things on the table, lit the candle on the table in the room, and the man first took off his wet pants and put them in the wooden basin along with the clothes he had taken off.

Then he took the rough and yellowed towel from the shelf, wiped his head and body, and took out clean clothes and pants from the suitcase and changed them into.

In the faint candlelight, you can see a lot of money tickets of different denominations on the table, stacked here and there, crumpled.

The man removed the small cabinet in the room, revealing a rat hole behind the cabinet, removed two bricks, and took out a rusty tin box from inside.

The tin box was quite large, and the weight was not light, and it made a very obvious noise when it was placed on the table.

Open the iron box, inside is a full of money tickets, a stack of large unity is tied neatly by straw rope, you can see three or four stacks on the surface alone, the bottom is invisible, there are scattered on the side, not tied up loose money.

The man took out the loose money inside, and smoothed it out along with the money on the table and began to count.

Counting a thousand, he took one of the straw ropes tied around the table, tied the stack, and then put the rest aside.

The man sat at the table, his eyes down and did not move for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long while, he took out all the money tickets in the iron box, revealing the shining gold and silver jewels underneath.

Inside the box are gold bars and gold ornaments, as well as jade pendants and bracelets, and there are many gems that shine under the candlelight.

As if looking for something, he brushed aside the glittering pearls and glittering bracelets, and took out something hidden in the innermost part, wrapped in a handkerchief.

When the white handkerchief was opened, there was a yellowed piece of letter paper, and a warm and delicate half piece of mutton fat white jade pressed on the letterhead.

The man's fingertips caressed the white jade, took out the letter and read it over and over again.

He seemed to think a lot, but he didn't seem to think about anything, just looking at the letter paper in distraction.

Finally, he put the things back into the tin box, hid them in the cave again, blew out the candles, and lay down on the simple wooden bed and closed his eyes.

……

When Ruan Jiaojiao wakes up, she will lie on the bed for a while.

At this time, she will continue to close her eyes, let her brain empty, and enter the morning sage time.

She has always slept well and rarely dreams.

But last night she seemed to be dreaming, but she couldn't remember anything when she woke up, and the whole person was in a trance.

If you can't think of it, don't force it, it's just a dream anyway.

Seeing that it was almost time to get up, Ruan Jiaojiao took off her blindfold, sat on the bed, and turned on the bedside lamp.

I took my watch from the bedside table and looked at the time, it was only seven o'clock in the morning.

After she washed up and changed her clothes, she came to the living room, only to see that the light in the living room of the suite was on, but she didn't see Xu Qiujuan's figure.

Xu Qiuwan is not here, it is not a big deal, Ruan Jiaojiao has nothing to do now, so she is ready to go downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.

The Sassoon Court Presidential Suite where she lives is located on the 10th floor of the Peace Hotel, which is equivalent to the top floor, and this entire floor belongs to the suite's space.

Ruan Jiaojiao just walked out of the suite door, and before she could close the door, she heard the sound of an argument coming from the elevator not far away.

Listening to the voice, it was the hotel lobby manager Chen Ping and Xu Qiuwan who had a dispute, and there were words such as "resignation" and "escort" in the middle.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't listen, nor did she turn a blind eye and went downstairs directly.

She silently returned to her room, closed the door, and then studied how to call the restaurant to get them to deliver the food.

Ruan Jiaojiao was not interested in what the manager and her housekeeper were arguing about, and the reason why she didn't directly cross them into the elevator was just unnecessary.

After communicating with the restaurant and ordering a simple Western-style breakfast, Ruan Jiaojiao hung up the phone and came to the sofa to pick up the newspaper on the table and read it.

Although the college entrance examination has ended, the heat has not passed, and the content of the front page headlines in the newspaper is still related to it.

Ruan Jiaojiao flipped the page, and before she could find the content she was interested in, Xu Qiujuan outside opened the door lightly and came in.

Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, Xu Qiuwan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly walked over, "I'm sorry Ms. Ruan, I was out of the room just now for something." Will you be preparing an in-room meal or going to the restaurant downstairs? Need to ask the waiter to pick up today's menu? ”

Ruan Jiaojiao flipped through the newspaper and looked up at Xu Qiuwan, she noticed that Xu Qiuwan's eyes were still a little red at this time, as if she had cried, "No, I have already contacted the restaurant just now." Oh yes, I'm going out later, the time is uncertain, about nine o'clock. ”

"Okay, I'll help you arrange the driver now."

As a qualified butler, she is always there for her guests unless they don't need them.

It is a serious dereliction of duty for her to let the guests not find herself in the morning and order the food in person.

Ruan Jiaojiao didn't mention this stubble, and Xu Qiuwan understood that she had let this matter go.

After informing the front desk to help arrange the vehicle before the meal, Xu Qiuwan helped the waiter who had just pushed the food cart into the door to put the meal in the restaurant.

After arranging everything, she consciously left the restaurant with the waiter and did not disturb Ruan Jiaojiao's meal.

Ruan Jiaojiao in the restaurant reads the newspaper from time to time and enjoys breakfast time alone.

Outside the restaurant, Xu Qiuwan said a few words to the waiter, and then transferred the cost of breakfast to his name.

Although the guests don't mention it, they don't miss themselves, but they still have to show their sincerity and attitude.
