When the magic flower blooms

The call came from the General Affairs Department of the Asian Security Bureau. The deputy director who had contacted Ming Ruoxing in the morning appointed a commissioner to follow up on the reconstruction plan of the safe house.

After some simple communication, the commissioner quickly asked to take someone to the scene to check the situation.Ming Ruoxing didn't make his own claim, he told He Tiansi about the incident on the grounds that the "insurance company" was investigating the scene.The two had a brief communication, and they both felt that choosing a date would be better than bumping into it, so they agreed that the commissioner would come as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

Here, the reconstruction work of the house has been put on the agenda; and there, the work of the gatekeeper of the elderly activity center will officially start tonight.

According to Xiaomei's introduction, the duties of the doorman are actually quite simple - from the time the activity center clears and closes at [-] o'clock in the evening, until the cafeteria starts work at [-] o'clock the next morning, during these seven hours, every hour Take a tour of the yard.When not touring, you just need to sit in the computer room and watch the surveillance video.

Considering that He Tiansi and Ming Ruoxing are "two people on the job", they can take one break and one rest, and another person will take over the shift on weekends, so it is even easier.

Ming Ruoxing didn't have any objection to Xiaomei's job requirements.But He Tiansi thought that he had an injury on his forehead and needed to recuperate, so he refused to agree to the shift plan, and just took over all the recent work by himself.

Ming Ruoxing knew that he was defending himself, and his heart felt warm for a while, but he still couldn't help but narrow his mouth: "What's the matter, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

"Not afraid!"

Maybe it was because Xiaomei was standing on the side, He Tiansi slapped his chest loudly, "A man stands up to the sky, with strong yang energy and strong fire, he is not afraid of the sky and the earth!"

It's better to do something beautifully than to speak well--it's night in a blink of an eye.Due to the passing of the typhoon last night, every household has some small messes that need to be cleaned up.Before eight o'clock, several chess and card rooms in the activity center were already empty; in the small playground next door, there was no sound of children playing and laughing.

In the afternoon, I seized the time to catch up on a few hours of sleep. At this moment, He Tiansi was ready to go to work in full swing.Keys, a flashlight, and a bluffing baton are the three magic weapons that Xiaomei left for him, as well as a reflective vest and a big security cap that he got from no one knows where.

"Aren't you handsome?!" He put the hat on his head, deliberately posing in a pretentious pose.

"I've seen someone more handsome." Ming Ruoxing said honestly.

Unlike He Tiansi, who is fresh and full of vigor, Ming Ruoxing, who has been seriously considering the safe house reconstruction plan all afternoon, is now fighting with his upper and lower eyelids.Before ten o'clock, He Tiansi went out to go to work, and he fell on the canopy bed and fell asleep.

Seeing that Ming Ruoxing seldom slept soundly, He Tiansi didn't bother him.He picked up the guy, walked out the door lightly, glanced at the closed gate of the backyard of the mourning hall, and walked quickly towards the office a little further away.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Xiaomei and other girls who rented a house in the village had not left yet.Affected by the typhoon, the village began to reduce the pressure of water supply early this morning. Because the activity center has a water storage tank, the water output has not been affected.The few of them just wiped a handful of the public oil and water, and stayed in the public bathroom to take a shower before going back.

The computer room is not far from the bathroom.With nothing to do, He Tiansi sat at the door, chatting with the girls across the wall.

They talked about the terrible storm last night, about He Tiansi's big white cat, which was so beautiful and fierce that even the dogs in the village would shy away from it.But the one who talked the most was He Tiansi's beautiful cousin named Ming.

As the saying goes, "Last come and come first" - He Tiansi also knows that Ming Ruoxing, a newcomer, has quickly gained a place in the hearts of women of all ages in the village.But it seemed to be the first time he felt his popularity so intuitively.

Some girl suggested again, asking him to ask Ming Ruoxing if he had a girlfriend, and He Tiansi didn't know what was wrong, so he started spreading rumors with his eyes closed.

"He has a girlfriend. I saw it with my own eyes in City S!"

There was an instant silence on the other side of the wall.He Tiansi felt that he could even hear someone's heartbroken voice.Before he could feel guilty, however, he heard a light giggle from the other side of the wall.

"S City, it's so far away, it doesn't matter, we have home field advantage."

"Hey, that's too much!"

He Tiansi knew that they were just talking for fun, but he couldn't help correcting him: "You'll be kicked by a donkey for robbing other people's mates!"

The girls obviously also heard his lack of seriousness, and responded loudly with a laugh:

"It seems that you are a good match. If it is your partner, we will definitely not grab it!"

"You guys are enough..."

He Tiansi was speechless by what they said, and he also laughed.But after laughing, there is still an aftertaste in my heart.

Sweet, a little itchy, and a little buoyant...it's almost like being stuffed with a handful of marshmallows.

He still wanted to chase after this aftertaste for a while longer, and after thinking about it, Ming Ruoxing's face clearly appeared in his mind.

Ming Ruoxing, who is arrogant and indifferent on weekdays;

Ming Ruoxing who is calm and decisive at critical moments;

Occasionally, she will show a gentle side, even Ming Ruoxing who is so soft that it makes one's heart itch;

There are also anxious, panicked, vulnerable and helpless...

Wait a minute, He Tiansi's heart skipped a beat.

The last one, when had he seen Xiao Ming like this?

He hastened to think carefully, but searched all the corners of his mind, but still couldn't find the real memory of Ming Ruoxing showing that expression.

If not memory, then what should it be?

He Tiansi pulled his hair in distress, as if by doing so he could uproot the answer from his mind.But things were obviously not that easy, and he didn't have time to think too long.

The girls went home happily after taking a bath, and the huge activity center was completely silent all of a sudden.At ten o'clock in the evening, He Tiansi locked the front door on time, turned on the flashlight, and went on his first patrol.

Maybe the typhoon blows away all the clouds in one breath, and the moonlight is extraordinarily bright tonight.The scenery in the dark night is deprived of its true colors, but covered with a layer of moonlight like fish scales, no matter the trees or buildings, they all become mysterious.

The flashlight issued by Xiaomei is very likely to have played an important role on the night of the typhoon.At this moment, it seems to take credit for it, and the brightness and lighting range are somewhat insufficient.Fortunately, with the help of Moonlight, He Tiansi quickly found the first inspection record point.

It was a red sensor fixed on the height of a wooden column, only the size of a cigarette box. In addition to sensing fires and nearby movements, it also had an annoying function - after the night watch mode was turned on, as long as there was no one within the set time When you sign in and check in, it will emit an annoying alarm sound until it wakes up everyone who should wake up and who shouldn't wake up.

He Tiansi knew the layout of the activity center very well, and he walked quickly through the various courtyards to appease the small and irritable alarms.But in five or six minutes, they turned to the door of the backyard of the mourning hall.

Quiet here suddenly became a kind of weirdness.

He Tiansi once warned himself not to associate, but he didn't realize that the warning itself was a part of association—at this moment, a huge, dark blister was emerging in his heart uncontrollably, and the bubble was closed. Yes, it is the monster who visited Zhou's mansion in the ghost story.

If so, ghost stories aren't just stories.If so, monsters are not just legends.

Just behind this thin door, so many corpses have been parked.Maybe those who passed away, they have always been there, never left...

So, could a monster be quietly emerging from the well; and through the crack of the door, could there be hundreds of white-covered eyes staring blankly at this place?

He Tiansi began to suspect that he could not be a good night watchman.He felt that a person with rich associations like himself should obviously be engaged in artistic creation.

But this is just his wishful thinking. The truth is: the paintings he draws don't even look good on his cats, but the night shift job as a doorman at least gives him a place.

ah!How sad, a loser who has no talent but claims to be an artist.An unacknowledged but reluctant to give up, a lost soul as classic as tragedy itself...

The associative power that suddenly deviated significantly helped He Tiansi a great favor - when he came back to his senses, he found that he had evolved from pure fear to self-absorbed self-pity.While the latter is exaggerated to the point of drama, it does a very effective job of dispelling his paranoia.

No wonder some people say that the best way to forget a trouble is to drown it with another bigger trouble.

I don't know whether to cry or laugh, but He Tiansi successfully completed the check-in work in front of the mourning hall.Afterwards, he can go directly back to the monitoring room, or he can go back to the house along the way to see if Ming Ruoxing is sleeping soundly.

When doing this multiple-choice question, He Tiansi naturally remembered those expressions of Ming Ruoxing that popped out of his mind out of thin air.

They are so breathtaking and touching, if you see them with your own eyes, they must be engraved in your heart and you will never forget them.

But when did you see it?

Unknowingly falling into the confusion again, He Tiansi turned around while pulling his hair.But who knew that in the next second, a "ghost" with disheveled hair, paper-white face, and green eyes would quietly appear in front of him!

——! ! !

He Tiansi opened his mouth and took a big breath of cool air, then covered his heart that was about to jump out of his mouth.

"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Ming?!!! Close your eyes!!!"

Although what he said was a bit illogical, the green light disappeared immediately.He Tiansi moved the flashlight over again, revealing Ming Ruoxing in loose pajamas with disheveled hair.

"People scare people and scare people to death, do you understand?"

"So you're so timid." Ming Ruoxing yawned with disgust, "You almost woke me up from my sleepiness."

"Drowsy, what are you doing running out?!"

He Tiansi had lingering fears in his heart, and it was rare to be angry: "You play with me deliberately, and you will be happy if you scare me to death?"

Suddenly hearing the word "death", Ming Ruoxing was stunned.

He was absolutely not angry, and he didn't seem to feel aggrieved, but suddenly became quiet, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and it seemed that someone had poured a basin of ice water on him, completely dousing him.

After being dazed like this for about two or three seconds, he finally moved again and walked towards the front yard.

"Where are you... going?" He Tiansi felt something was wrong, and asked with a guilty conscience.

"Toilet."

Ming Ruoxing's tone was very calm, so calm that it could even be said to be gentle.But for some reason, He Tiansi felt an inexplicable sense of guilt because of this calm and gentleness.

This is too strange - he thought silently, obviously he was the one who was scared.
