Wan Li called me in the evening.
"I didn't find you when I went back to the clinic in the afternoon, and I was afraid that you would be busy with a case so I didn't dare to call you on your mobile phone." He said, "How are you today?"
"That's not all."
"Why are you so weak? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Yes." In fact, she has been very tired these days, but because she is afraid of having nightmares again, she is a little worried about going to bed every day. Now she is considering whether to not sleep at all.
"Have you ever gone to see Ruan Zhan?" Wan Li asked tentatively, "You won't forget, my friend who can be a psychic!"
"How do you have a friend who can be a psychic?! I have met a friend of yours who is very weak." When she mentioned Ruan Zhan, Xiaoxia felt an unknown fire coming out of nowhere, and she immediately changed from a state of half-death to a state of unconsciousness. Almost furious.
"It seems you have already looked for him."
"Twice!"
"That means he doesn't agree to help you?"
"You knew the outcome and still let me go? Did you deliberately embarrass me?"
"Hey, let's be reasonable. I've said before that he's afraid of trouble, so he might disagree. But I didn't expect you to be angry. His reputation among women has always been good."
"That's because those women don't have eyes, but I do. In fact, I asked others for help. It's their duty to help others out of friendship, and it's not entirely for your sake. What's good about me? I am angry and complaining, but he has no obligation to help me. But I am just angry with his demeanor. He has such a beautiful and friendly smile on his face, but in fact he refuses everything and is indifferent to everything. He looks like a gentle prince charming, but in fact It's the evil Gargamel! He's inhumane, heartless, and heartless!" Xiao Xia was furious. Although she also knew that asking for help meant being humble and the result was unknown, she couldn't help but get angry when she thought of Ruan Zhan's face. Don't know why.
"A little anger is good, a little anger is good, it can transfer other bad emotions."
"Wanli!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Tomorrow - no, I can't get away tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I'll go find him with you the day after tomorrow. This kid doesn't give me face, and he doesn't even look at me. It depends on who is asking him to do something. Lawyer Yue asked him to do a small favor, doesn’t he think highly of him?"
"I'm not going!"
"Why don't you go? The more he is afraid of trouble, the more you will annoy him to death! Then you will kill him!" Wan Li followed Xiaoxia's words. He knew that Xiaoxia was very childish when she lost her temper, so comforting her might as well arouse her revenge and competitiveness. He was still not sure whether Xiaoxia's recent endless nightmares were psychological problems or evil spirits, so he had to find out the truth no matter what.
Sure enough, Xiaoxia acquiesced.
"Actually, having said that, you can't blame him too much." Wan Li said good things to Ruan Zhan again, "Everyone has different temperaments and temperaments. Ruan Zhan is a person who is not easy to understand. Even me, until now I can’t fully understand him. However, I didn’t expect you to be able to see through his disguise right away, which is amazing!”
"Tsk, don't you see who I am?"
"Yes, your keen intuition is your greatest advantage. You should choose to go with me. It would be a pity to be a lawyer."
"If you have any other words of praise, say them in one go."
"That can't be finished in one night! Let's talk about Ruan Zhan. You are not interested in knowing why we are friends, and why I said he can be psychic?"
"Not interested." Xiaoxia was angry, but her heart was itching with curiosity.
"Let's just listen to it as a bedtime story. He and I have been friends for many years. In fact, we have known each other since we were seven years old, and we have been together for twenty-four years now. He is not his father's biological son, he was born when he was five years old. His father picked him up when he was young and later adopted him. I don’t know if he still remembers things before he was five years old. Anyway, he never mentioned it. His adoptive father turned out to be a Taoist priest who wanted to defeat all evil spirits and monsters in his lifetime. All feudal superstitions, so he had to return to the secular world, and later lived in our town. His father was very knowledgeable in ancient literature and miscellaneous studies, and even his name was taken from ancient books."
"Stop talking nonsense. His name is a bit weird, but there is nothing profound about it."
"I don't know. His name comes from "Book of Jin - Ruan Zhan Encounters Ghosts". I heard that this ancient Ruan Zhan was a ghost-free believer. Later I met a man and debated with him about this. In the end, the man lost, but told Ruan Zhan that he was a ghost and turned away. Ruan Zhan was so surprised that he fell ill and later died. I don't know why his father gave him this name. It might be a metaphor for him. It’s not necessarily true that you are born with certain abilities. Just like if you were born in summer, you are called Xiaoxia. My parents hope that I will have a long journey, so I am called Wanli.”
"How do you know he has 'that' ability." It was late at night, Xiaoxia did not dare to say the word 'ghost', but this was the most curious thing about the relationship between Wan Li and Ruan Zhan. .
"I have known him since I met him when I was seven years old. Something strange happened in our school that year, and then there were some supernatural incidents when I was in college. However, I can't tell you for the time being. Your mental state is unstable now. It will scare you. I will tell you when I have the opportunity in the future. Anyway, believe me, he can indeed see things that we cannot see, and he can expel them."
"Aren't you afraid? Are you still friends with him?"
"Afraid! Why not? But I was too curious and defeated my fear. Having said that, our fate is really not shallow. We were in the same class from elementary school to junior high school, and we were in the same desk for boys and girls in middle school. . After our family went to Chongqing in high school, we still kept in touch with him while he was still in his hometown. Later, he didn’t reply to me very often. I thought we were separated, but who would have thought that I would meet him again when I was in college in Beijing? Same department."
"He also studies psychology?" Xiao Xia was surprised. No wonder he was so good at pretending, but that couldn't escape her Yue Xiaoxia's fiery eyes.
"Yes. But he disappeared after graduation. Later I came to this city to work, and I didn't expect to meet him again. He opened the bar at that time, and I don't know why he didn't engage in his profession. But you see, as we go round and round, we will always encounter people who are destined to be friends and cannot escape."
"It sounds like you have been pursuing him." Xiaoxia said sarcastically.
"Eh? It sounds like him. He is very passive towards feelings. I guess we haven't known each other for too long, and I am a considerate and good person. It would be difficult for us to become friends."
"I think that's because you became friends at a young age."
"Yes, this is the key factor. No matter how much children reject the outside world, it is always easy to make friends with each other. If I only met him after he became an adult, he would probably treat me like you said - appearance He is kind and gentle, but in fact he is a distant person."
"It's all your fault. You knew what kind of character he had, but you still refused to go with me." Xiaoxia thought of Ruan Zhan's polite and firm refusal again, and couldn't help but feel her self-esteem was hurt.
"You don't understand this." Wan Li felt Xiaoxia's reluctance and quickly expressed his thoughts, "Anyway, if I want to help you, I will betray him because I promised not to tell him. He will be angry with me for betraying my promise, so if I take action, it will be bad. When he calms down a little, I will have a better chance of showing up."
"But can he really help me?"
"Don't doubt the people you trust, don't doubt the people you employ. I don't know if there is anyone better than him, but I only know him, so this is the only way I can help you. Don't think too much, sleep well, and we'll see you the day after tomorrow Go find him. Whether you have dates or not, give it a try. Okay, I'm going to hang up, good night."
"Good night."
After hanging up the phone, Xiaoxia began to worry again. Still sleeping? She would have nightmares, and she couldn't stand being frightened again and again. Aren't you going to sleep? She has to go to work tomorrow, and now she feels heavy and uncomfortable.
Forget it! Let it go!
