================================================ =============
Xiaoxia made some mental preparations outside the Yeguiren bar before going in. Wanli had something to do and couldn't come, so she had no one to rely on and had to go in alone.
She originally expected Ruan Zhan to work facing inward, but as soon as she pushed the door open, Ruan Zhan turned his head, and their eyes suddenly met.
"Hi, long time no see." She greeted hurriedly, feeling her face was a little hot and extremely embarrassed.
"It seems that you are very busy at the end of the year. You almost forgot how I got here, right?" Ruan Zhan smiled softly and behaved very naturally. His attitude towards a good friend was no different from before. .
Xiao Xia secretly cursed herself for being useless and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Liu Tie and Ni Yang came to greet her affectionately and saved her life, otherwise she would have died there stupidly.
It seems that Ruan Zhan did not remember what happened that day, as if it never happened. She was the one who kept this matter in mind, and felt awkward for a long time. In fact, nothing would change at all. Men, they won’t pay special attention to women who are not interested in them. Fortunately, okay, otherwise I really don’t know how to face him!
With this thought in her mind, Xiao Xia peeked at Ruan Zhan a few more times and felt more relaxed when she saw that he was calm and gentle to her, close but not too close, distant but not too far. I cursed myself for not being able to think about it and worrying for so long in vain!
She talked to Liu Tie and Ni Yang, and also exchanged a few words with the familiar visitors. Gradually, she finally became more natural.
Ruan Zhan, who was observing him secretly, felt relieved when he saw her slowly relaxing expression.
He knew that Xiaoxia was an extremely shy woman emotionally. If she could ask him such a question on Christmas Eve, it might be considered a confession to her, but he couldn't accept it for some reasons.
It's not that he doesn't like her, in fact she has such a unique meaning to him, burying his whole world, melting the ice in his heart, and making his gloomy life brighter stand up.
When she didn't show up for two months because of embarrassment, his desire for her made his heart burst. He felt like the cold wind kept blowing in, and the last trace of warmth disappeared.
When he heard that Liu Tie and Ni Yang were asking Xiaoxia to come to the store, he was uneasy all day long. In order to fear that she would be uncomfortable, he had to act calmly, calmly, and calmly. appearance.
But when she appeared in front of him, his heart was beating like a drum, and he had to try his best to make her think that he didn't remember that thing at all.
This is more than just liking it!
He thought that he loved her, but it was a pity that he couldn't afford her. Therefore, it is better to pretend not to know anything, so that it will be less harmful to her and the relationship will be more natural. At least this way I can stay by her side, be her friend, and protect her. This is the only thing he can do for her.
"I'm going on a business trip to City A for a month." Seeing that there were more and more customers in the bar, Xiaoxia stopped chatting with the two big boys and asked them to go about their business. Instead, she walked to the bar to chat with them. Ruan Zhan said goodbye.
Ruan Zhan was cutting something and almost cut his hand.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning." Xiaoxia continued and glanced at Ruan Zhan's hand. She was relieved that there was no bleeding.
"I'll see you off." Ruan Zhan said, feeling reluctant to leave. I won't be able to see her for another month.
"No need, Wan Li will send it to me. Anyway, he is relatively close to me." Xiao Xia stretched out her hand, "I have to go back and pack my things now. You know, it is very troublesome for women to go out. I want to say goodbye to you in advance. Right."
Ruan Zhan hesitated for a moment, but did not say goodbye. Instead, he held Xiaoxia's little hand and said, "Don't rush to say goodbye, come with me."
He pulled her upstairs, which made Xiaoxia very confused, but she liked the feeling of his big hand holding her hand tightly, and followed behind without saying a word.
In Ruan Zhan's room, he took out a few spells in a book from the drawer, "This is for you. Of course it is not valuable, but Wan Li always said that I am a magic stick, so I gave it to you. What a gift from you. I think you must find a house to live in when you go out of town."
"I said the company would arrange accommodation for me."
"This is very good. But a new place always has a different aura from the new person. Your aura is weak, so it will be useful to put this on."
In order to deal with the threat from the undead for many years, he has been practicing recently and is also working hard to release his sealed abilities. These spells were recently drawn for practice. They are very powerful. I hope they can protect Xiaoxia. Safety.
His current attitude towards her is that as long as she is not by his side, he cannot rest assured. This is probably called caring and chaos.
"Okay." Xiaoxia took the spell, happy that he cared about her, "Thank you, you can call me when you have time, Liu Tie and Ni Yang both have my phone numbers. Ah - I Forget you don’t like cell phones."
"It doesn't matter, I will fight." Ruan Zhan promised.
&&&&&&
The company sent a driver to take Xiaoxia to the accommodation arranged for her. She was surprised that it turned out to be a three-story white western-style building.
She has never lived in this kind of place since she was a child, so even though she only rented a room on the third floor, it still felt fresh to her.
"Are you satisfied with this room?" the boss asked. "Although it's not the best room in the store, it's very quiet. The largest room was booked by another customer in advance."
"This one is very good, thank you." Xiaoxia was not a picky person, so she smiled and nodded to the boss.
The boss introduced himself as Lanshan, but she heard that the neighbor who delivered the goods called him Lansan.
"Is it the off-season for the hotel? There don't seem to be many guests." She asked casually, but unexpectedly the boss immediately changed his expression, "Miss, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside, I am very good here."
The way he was eager to defend himself made Xiaoxia a little strange. She was sent here directly as soon as she got off the plane. She was told to take a rest and go to the company to work tomorrow. There was no time to hear any gossip.
"What's wrong?" she asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just - I rent a house mainly on a daily basis, and I usually use it to entertain campus couples."
"Oh, that's right." Looking at his hesitant look, Xiaoxia thought he didn't want to admit that this was a hotel specifically designed to provide a place for couples to meet, so she stopped asking further, "Okay, thank you for the introduction. Now please do as you please. I need to pack my things first, I’m going to live here for a month!”
"I wish you a pleasant stay, Miss." Lansan replied, and then walked out of the room.
He had no intention of telling this young lady the truth. In fact, the place had been sealed off for two months after the second murder. After the Chinese New Year, he was approved to reopen, but even though he reduced the rent again and again, there was still no guest. After all, people who knew the details would never come to this terrible place again, and those lovers would rather go further than I'm willing to take the risk of being torn into pieces by an unknown perverted killer after just a few secluded dates.
But just when he was almost at his wits end, wealth suddenly came again. First, an international student signed a long-term lease because he liked the architectural style of this western-style building and paid a deposit for several months. Then a company booked a room for their new staff and paid a month's deposit. of rent.
He thought that not only would this solve his immediate financial needs, but if they left safely, his hotel's reputation would be restored.
The ancestors said it right, there are only three things. He believed that nothing would happen again.
Just when Lansan was happy that he was going to be transferred again and Xiaoxia was busy packing things, someone knocked on Xiaoxia's door.
Outside the door was a young man in his twenties, clean, not tall, with glasses on his face. He looked gentle but gave off Xiaoxia's shrewd calculation.
"I am your neighbor, and I came here to pay a visit. I heard that the lady will also stay for a while, and she may cause trouble for you in the future!"
He nodded politely. Although he spoke fluently, his tone was a bit stiff, not like a Chinese. Coupled with his East Asian face, Xiaoxia guessed that he was either Korean or Japanese.
"I am Japanese, my name is Kenji Okamura, and I came to China to study." He seemed to see Xiaoxia's doubts and answered proactively.
Xiaoxia was not good at dealing with such polite situations, so she only answered a few words casually.
"Miss, don't you like Japanese people?" Kenji Okamura asked sensitively.
"I don't have any special likes or dislikes towards the Japanese." Xiaoxia didn't like his probing attitude and answered bluntly, "But since we will be neighbors in the future, I believe we can get along very well. Now I have to clean up I have something, can we talk again when we have a chance?"
"Of course." Kenji Okamura said still tepidly, "Excuse me, I hope to become friends with the lady."
Xiaoxia nodded to him and then closed the door.
Kenji Okamura stood in the corridor for a while and murmured to himself: "What a beautiful and lovely lady. It seems that she will lure him out. Alas, it's a pity, but there is nothing we can do about it. ."
But nothing happened that day and night because Xiaoxia did not stay in the hotel. She had a college classmate who was from City A. She originally wanted to meet him casually, but her classmate enthusiastically tried to persuade her to stay. Instead, she stayed at her friend's house and whispered to him all night. The next morning I went back to the hotel, changed my clothes and went to work. I didn't come back until dinner time.
The house that the company rented to her included board and lodging, and the work during the day was not heavy, which made her feel very happy. After dinner, she started to visit the hotel.
She first browsed the five rooms on the third floor and found that except for one room for herself and one for a Japanese man named Okamura Kenji, and two empty rooms, the boss only lived in the attic. But he actually opened a room for Sister Wang, a cleaning lady and kitchen lady. Maybe it’s because the boss is extra generous, but he also looks stingy. Maybe it’s because he’s special to Sister Wang, and he treats her all the time. It’s really puzzling.
There was nothing to see on the second floor, which was similar to the third floor. But as soon as she reached the first floor, she felt a chill and the feeling of being spied on.
This made her shiver. She hugged her shoulders and looked around to see if the doors and windows on the first floor were not closed properly. She found that everything was fine. The wind was blowing from a passage at the back of the hall on the far left.
The passage was dark and seemed to lead to the basement. But isn't the basement closed? Why is there wind?
With this thought in mind, she walked in that direction unknowingly. When she got deep into the corner, she suddenly heard a low voice inside. I couldn't hear what they were exactly, but I could tell they were the voices of a man and a woman.
"Who's in there?" she asked, suddenly feeling a strong sense of fear. She couldn't help but move back a few steps, and bumped into a soft object. At the same time, a hand patted her shoulder. , a smell also came with the wind.
