famine

On Christmas Day, Cheng Hong was naturally the last one to leave the office of the design department.

I spent a whole week working overtime, rushing to catch up with Christmas, and although I didn't get off work on time, it was a little earlier than usual.

Cheng Lang put on the down jacket, pulled the zipper from his calf to his chin, and then went downstairs with his briefcase.

The underground parking lot is much better than the outside, but it is still very gloomy and cold, and it is just in time for the holidays. At this moment, all the office workers in the building who are off work have left, and those who are not off work are still staring at the computer in a daze. So it was very quiet in the parking lot.

The shiny leather shoes stepped on the cold ground, and the empty underground parking lot became even more dead silent.

While walking forward, Cheng Lang quietly counted the steps in his heart. Suddenly, he had the illusion that he was a big star who was filming. When he tilted his head slightly, he could see the villain hiding behind the pillar beside him. Behind the monitor is the director drinking tea with a thermos cup.

Until he got into the car, he didn't get out of the drama in his head, and even put aside everything and imitated the bad guys in the gangster movies who ran wildly and went straight to 120 miles, and flew out of the ground.

It's not good to be a fugitive, Cheng Lang himself doesn't know why.

But like many office workers who are dominated by life, after a long day, it is hard to wait until now this will belong to their own private time, and they must seize the time to be dazed.

After Cheng Lang fastened his seat belt, he was in a daze.

The car was covered for a day, and there was a bit of rubber smell, so he opened the windows to dissipate the smell as soon as he got in the car. In the spirit of green environmental protection, mainly not to waste, he didn't turn on the heater, so he wrapped his clothes in the car and froze. .

There is no decoration in the car, only a transparent mobile phone holder is pasted on the center console, which is very out of place compared with all the high-end and luxurious equipment around.

But Cheng Hong, who was born as a designer and couldn't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, didn't take it seriously.

Sitting stiffly for a while against the air-conditioning that seemed to have grown eyes that went straight into the bone crevice, Cheng Hong finally moved.

Taking out the phone, I thought to myself, if it’s frozen, it’s fine, if it’s frozen, it’s fine...

The camera on the top of the screen detected the face, recognized it instantly, and unlocked the desktop.

Cheng Lang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that he had probably started to go crazy, otherwise he couldn't entertain himself to this extent.

With a light cough, his fingertips turned white from the cold and turned the phone desktop. Just after turning on the warm air, his fingers became less stiff. He could even feel the frozen blood in his body start to flow slowly. The speed is like the flowers, plants and trees when everything is revived in spring, warming up bit by bit, and making rustling noises.

Cheng Lang opened the Shunfengche App, entered the driver interface, located his current location and destination, and clicked OK.

A yellow car appeared on the screen, driving from left to right and then from right to left, showing that it was searching for qualified passengers.

Usually every day when it is time to get off work, this software is very easy to accept orders. Today, I don’t know why, Cheng Lang waited for 3 minutes for the car to run.

The temperature in the car had already risen. He unbuckled his seat belt, took off his down jacket and threw it into the back seat. He looked down and saw that the car was still running.

After thinking for two seconds, Cheng Hong opened the backstage, manipulated his fingers that had changed from stiff to flexible to open WeChat, and pulled down the small program of the animal restaurant.

This game is very Buddhist, basically it is to run a restaurant, and then use the money given by the customers - that is, countless small dried fish to buy new equipment. After buying new equipment, the level will increase - that is, star rating, star rating Improve and unlock higher-end equipment, which will attract more expensive small animals to eat.

Then repeat the work chain of Xiaoyugan-purchase new equipment-upgrade-Xiaoyugan-purchase new equipment-upgrade, which has no logic at all.

In the beginning, this game was played by Xiaowen, but later it developed into a game played by the entire design department for some reason, and now from the ranking list, the top seven are all from their design department.

Cheng Lang has no feeling for this game, and he is not addicted to it, but he doesn't know why he opens it when he is free.

Collect small dried fish, plant flowers in the garden, and take the npc preserved eggs in the cafeteria area to work.

For this reason, he also deliberately added a WeChat group called "Animal Restaurant Workers' Mutual Aid Association", and from time to time sent out job invitations to netizens.

This is to train the flexibility of the hands and promote blood circulation, Cheng Lang thought in his heart.

He came up to take a look, thinking that if no guests showed up after finishing the game, he would go home directly.

Could it be that everyone leaves work early on Christmas Day?

Have you gone to see the stars?

Cheng Lang turned to the page of the cafeteria, and found that the preserved eggs had already returned home from working in Xiaowen, bringing back 95 plates.

The system reminds that if you watch the advertisement, you can give a few more plates.

Plates can be used to buy dishes in the cafeteria. The higher the star rating, the more dishes you can unlock and the more plates you need.

Cheng Lang now has more than 3 stars and urgently needs plates to add new dishes to the buffet.

But just as he was about to make sure, the phone suddenly began to vibrate crazily, as if on purpose.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz.

Accompanied by the shaking, it continued to ding ding ding.

Cheng Lang stared at the message reminder that suddenly appeared on the screen and pressed it three times but failed to hit the right place. Finally, he pressed the phone on his lap and poked it with his finger.

Although this situation has happened countless times, Cheng Lang still can't help complaining about the bad taste of the ride-hailing app.

Xindao, this reminds you that there are customers who have appeared, hurry up and grab the order, this is obviously a hornet's nest.

It was a quarter past six after taking the order, and Cheng Lang regretfully closed the animal restaurant, feeling uncomfortable because the plate flew out of his mouth.

Put the mobile phone on the bracket, follow the navigation and drive to the destination where the passenger is.

Being an art director of a well-known local advertising company at a young age, Cheng Hong is not short of money.

It can even be said that life is good and there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

But besides work, his only hobbies are playing animal restaurant and driving a ride.

The former can be said to pass the time with his eyes closed, and the latter, to put it bluntly...is also to pass the time.

On the way to get off work, I can look at other people of all kinds in this city, and see their faces are either happy or sad or sad, and occasionally there are a few episodes that really happened and seem painless because they have nothing to do with him The non-itchy dialogue is also quite interesting.

You can also easily earn some gas money.

Anyway, when he returned home, he faced the empty house alone. He could only eat, bathe and sleep step by step. Repeatedly for several years, from time to time he would have the illusion that he was the only one left in the world.

very boring.

do not wanna go Home.

Although it's hypocritical, Cheng Hong really doesn't like this feeling.

When a person is at home, apart from the sound that he only needs to come out, there are only home appliances, clocks and the conversations of passing residents downstairs.

I feel that I am cut off from the whole person, and everything else is gray except myself.

It seems that as soon as you stretch out your hand, you can pass straight through the gray figure, pass through the chest, and grab a piece of nothingness.

This often makes Cheng Lang panic.

Cheng Lang followed the navigation and finally parked the car in front of an Internet cafe.

Cheng Hong didn't have much impression of this Internet cafe, because every time he went home, he took a different route. The few times he passed by here, he still dropped off a few people in the office to go home.

At this time, it was freezing and snowy outside, and it was getting dark again, and there was no one on the street.

The location of passengers is in this Internet cafe.

He parked the car on the side of the road, squinted his eyes and looked over, and could vaguely see a figure behind the frost-covered glass door of the internet cafe.

The navigation shows that the passenger is ten meters away from you.

The snow was falling heavily outside, and the person who was ten meters away from him was cleverly standing inside to hide.

Although it was a little far away from the door and it was dark, he could still see the short black down jacket worn by the person inside the door.

I don't know if it's because of his thin body, but the lower body of this person is wearing washed jeans, his legs are slender and long, and they are blocked by the layer of frost, making them very blurry.

Cheng Lang honked the horn.

After a few seconds, the door of the Internet cafe opened, and the person standing at the door came out.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall. As he got closer, Cheng Lang noticed that he looked quite young, thin and tall, trembling when he walked over, with an inexplicable smile that couldn't be concealed on his face.

Half of his chin was covered by the turned up collar, and against the black fabric, his whole face was particularly white.

The lips are very red, and the corners of the mouth are very curved.

I don't know what funny thing happened to me, my cold face softened a lot when I wasn't smiling.

Cheng Lang was infected by his joyful mood, and when the man opened the car door, his voice had an undisguised smile: "4192?"

The young passenger's face instantly turned cold.

With a soft "hmm", he got into the co-pilot and fastened his seat belt carefully. The smug smile just now seemed to be Cheng Hong's illusion.

Cheng Lang pursed his lips, looked away, locked the car door and drove out along the navigation.

"Thank you, Building 12, Building 2."

At first hearing that this person lived in the same building as him, Cheng Lang didn't realize it for a long time.

This is the first time he has encountered such a smooth-winding guest since he worked as a free-wheeling driver.

They all came home.

Along the way, besides driving, Cheng Lang was also observing the guest. According to his experience, the guest seemed to be in a bad mood.

His eyes were fixed on him at first, but he turned his head when he found out later, leaning on the back of the chair and looking down at the same snow scene outside the window.

The hands on the knees were clenched tightly all the time, and the bones protruded one by one, and they were still white.Cheng Hong felt like he had an appointment with someone to fight, but he was delayed by something and couldn't go with the large army, and now he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Cheng Lang was thinking about it in his heart, but he kept his mind on driving, and went downstairs to his house with ease, and unlocked the car.

The mechanical female voice of the App reminds passengers to pay attention to safety as usual.

Cheng Lang was about to bid farewell to this cool guy, but he was probably in a hurry to fight. Cool guy didn't care about him, he had already stepped out of the car, and slammed the door with a bang.

Caught off guard, Cheng Hong felt as if the car door had hit his nose, and his nose was sore.

There is also an inexplicable feeling of a hot face sticking to a cold buttocks when you go out and touch your nose.

After reacting, his eyes widened in surprise.

Staring at Brother Cool...'s waist.

The down jacket is so thick, the clothes on both sides of this cool guy's waist collapsed back.

"...very thin." Cheng Hong mumbled subconsciously.

For work reasons, he has always paid more attention to observation.

Look for something aesthetically pleasing...or lines as far as the eye can see.

Visually, Kuge's waistline is very nice.

...

Cheng Lang tapped the accelerator and drove the car out again.

Lanqiao is a newly built residential area in the past two years. The environment is very good. It is built near the main transportation hub in the city. The transportation is convenient and the geographical location is very superior. It is the first choice for many qualified white-collar workers or people with good family conditions to rent a house Location.

It is also because of the good location. Although the environment in the community is very good, the parking lot cannot meet the needs of the residents at all. It can only be changed to underground. The living space on the ground has been remodeled, and many recreational facilities and beautiful gardens have been built. In summer, four or five koi will be raised in the fish pond, which often attracts a group of old men and women to chat together.

Cheng Lang parked the car and took the elevator directly upstairs.

With a chill in his body, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he caught a glimpse of movement around him from the corner of his eye.

The door of the neighbor's house just closed from the inside, and then clicked into the lock.

Even though there is a security door and a solid wooden door, Cheng Hong can still hear the startled and joyful cries of the neighbor's children inside the door.

"Gluck cluck cluck..."

Today, the bear child has become a little chicken that only knows how to cluck.

I don't know why, the appearance of Brother Ku suddenly flashed in Cheng Huang's mind, and then he was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head suddenly to look at the security door.

The anti-theft door is light gray, except for the small keyhole above the handle, the only remaining decorative item is the portrait of Guan Erye pasted on the door.

It has been three years since I moved here. Every year when the new year comes, the property management will post a lucky character on the door of each household, but this family always has an inexplicable "Second Master Guan".

Cheng Lang went from unbelievable at the beginning to numb to turning a blind eye at the end.

Every time I go out, I feel that the second master Guan on the opposite side wants to ask him for help.

"...coincidence."

After a long time, Cheng Hong said softly.
