When the magic flower blooms

Ming Ruoxing went to the bathroom, and He Tiansi also returned to the control room.With 45 minutes before the next patrol, he first set the alarm clock, then leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

The false alarm just now has passed, but Ming Ruoxing's dazed expression still lingers in his heart, and he can't get rid of it.

What is going on?

He Tiansi frowned, trying to find clues from his basically empty mind.Suddenly, he thought of the picture that appeared in his mind when he was chatting with Xiaomei and the others just now.

It is indeed a bit similar - those strange expressions that came out of nowhere, although they are not exactly the same as Ming Ruoxing's emotions just now, there is an undeniable subtle sense of déjà vu.

So, what the hell is going on here?

The knotted thoughts became more and more tightly entangled and rolled larger, causing the whole head to ache.Worried that his strange disease would recur again, He Tiansi had to give up his plan to continue thinking deeply.

The most important thing is to finish this night shift first.

Just when he was about to make a cup of strong tea or coffee for himself, the iron door of the computer room was knocked lightly three times, and Ming Ruoxing's voice came from outside.

"Can I come in?"

"Yes, of course!"

Fearing that his words would not be enough to show his attitude, He Tiansi went over to open the door himself.

Still wearing pajamas and messy hair, Ming Ruoxing just stood quietly at the door, standing upright but slightly lowering his head, which made him look a bit cautious and cute.

He Tiansi had never seen Ming Ruoxing like this before, he immediately lost all thoughts, hurriedly welcomed him into the room, brought another chair, and placed it next to his chair.

Ming Ruoxing sat obediently on the chair without speaking, just looked up at the row of monitors on the wall.That demeanor was like a cat getting familiar with its environment.

He Tiansi stared at him stupidly for a while, then suddenly remembered something serious.

"What's wrong with you, aren't you sleeping?"

Only then did Ming Ruoxing look at him: "I can't sleep."

You said you were drowsy just now, so you're not sleepy again so soon?

He Tiansi doesn't try to expose him, anyway, it's a good thing someone is willing to stay up all night with him.But before he completely pretended nothing had happened, he still had something very important to say to Ming Ruoxing.

"I got mad at you just now, sorry."

He took the initiative to apologize: "You are right, I am too timid."

"No." Ming Ruoxing shook his head almost as soon as he finished speaking: "I shouldn't scare you."

"You didn't mean it either."

The two apologized to each other like children, maybe they both felt a little ashamed, and they were quiet at the same time.

He Tiansi got up and made a cup of strong tea for himself, after thinking about it, he poured another cup of cold boiled water for Ming Ruoxing.

Ming Ruoxing noticed the difference between the two cups, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he tried hard to hold back his smile.

"Don't hold on, I'll come in the second half of the night, and you go to rest."

"no, I'm fine!"

The more he said that, the more He Tiansi refused to show weakness, and hurriedly found a topic to prevaricate.

"... Oh yes, I feel like I have a new demihuman ability!"

"Really?"

In this matter, Ming Ruoxing has always been very serious, "What ability?"

Even though there were only the two of them in the whole big house, He Tiansi had to lean over and get close to Ming Ruoxing's ear.

"I seem to...can predict the future!"

"Predict future?"

The unheard-of ability to predict the future should not exist in the real world at all, Ming Ruoxing naturally showed doubts in his eyes.

"Why did you say that?"

How to sum up clearly and precisely what happened to me suddenly became a problem.He Tiansi was troubled for a while, and finally simplified the matter into the following version.

"Just now I was chatting with Xiaomei and the other girls at the door, and I mentioned you while talking. Then I suddenly had a strange feeling... It was as if there was a 'dong' in my mind, and the idea that you are not A very happy expression. I thought, I don’t think I’ve seen you with that kind of expression before, but just now, it happened to you... Well, it’s not pleasant at all. Then... It’s not that the expression is exactly the same Well, that's the feeling..."

Maybe it's because his ability to express is really bad. Although Ming Ruoxing listened very carefully, he basically didn't understand anything.

"Wait...you mean, you foresaw a quarrel with me?"

"Almost... no, not quite, after all we didn't quarrel... Oh! That's not what I meant!"

"What does that mean? By the way, Xiaomei and the others were still here just now?"

"It was around nine o'clock at that time, and they were taking a bath..."

"They take a bath, you chat with them?!"

He couldn't believe his ears, Ming Ruoxing's eyes widened, and his tone became unhappy.

"Of course it's through the wall! My God, you're in some gutter!"

He Tiansi hurriedly defended himself, while secretly belittling himself for why he wasted so much time on such an obvious matter, like a belated husband eager to prove his innocence in front of his wife.

Moreover, from a certain point of view, Ming Ruoxing's reaction is exactly the same as that of his jealous wife.

The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, as if by accident, He Tiansi's mouth can't help but start to be mean again: "Why, are you jealous?"

Ming Ruoxing stared at him as if surprised, but soon became angry again.

"Neuropathy!"

As if feeling that this sentence was not enough to relieve his hatred, he added another sentence: "If you have sex with little girls all day long, sooner or later your legs will be broken with sacks!"

As he spoke, he put his hands on the table, turned his head and lay down pretending to be asleep.

Although he was scolded, He Tiansi's mood suddenly exploded.He poked Ming Ruoxing's shoulder blade again: "Go back to sleep if you're sleepy."

"do not want!"

"Why, is the bed more comfortable than this table?"

"Leave me alone!"

This is a little wrong.

Although Ming Ruoxing's temper is a bit weird, it is rare for him to be totally unreasonable.There must be objective reasons for his reluctance to go back to that courtyard.

Do you want to watch the night with me?

As soon as this thought came up, He Tiansi snuffed it out by himself—you can't do it, He Tiansi, you really want to treat him as an object.Don't scare Ming Ruoxing, when the time comes, pack up and leave.

But why?

After thinking about it, a somewhat scary answer suddenly popped up.

He Tiansi shuddered at first, and then turned his gaze to Ming Ruoxing who was lying on the table.

"Xiao Ming..."

He stretched out a finger and gently scratched Ming Ruoxing's ear, "You don't go back to sleep in the house, did you see something dirty?"

Ming Ruoxing didn't move at all, but his silence itself was a kind of tacit consent.

"It really happened?!"

He Tiansi took a deep breath, and quickly stretched out his hands to shake Ming Ruoxing's shoulders.

"I still have 10 minutes to go on patrol again, let's talk clearly before going to sleep, you!"

Being shaken so much that he almost knocked the wound on his forehead on the table, Ming Ruoxing raised his head in annoyance.

"Why are you in a hurry? Anyway, you can't see it!"

"Really?! Why can't I see it? Wait, what did you see?" He Tiansi really wanted to open his mouth a few more times.

Anyway, refusing to answer is definitely not an option, Ming Ruoxing can only invite them truthfully.

"In that yard, there is indeed a demihuman aura."

"Ah? Then why didn't you find out just now?"

"Because it's too weak. It can't get close to you when you're awake, and it can only have a little effect after you fall asleep."

"What kind of influence?"

"Seeing something it wants you to see, something bad."

"Oh..." He Tiansi suddenly realized when he heard this: "So, in fact, you just had a nightmare."

"You can really think that way." Ming Ruoxing didn't bother to argue with him, "Anyway, as long as you don't sleep, you won't meet."

"But you told me to go to bed just now, and you still have to work the night shift for me. Hey——"

He Tiansi made a heart-shaking gesture on purpose.

Ming Ruoxing rolled his eyes at him: "Idiots don't know how to dream."

"So, what kind of dream did you have? Why don't you tell me, a fool like me?"

Pushed helplessly by He Tiansi, Ming Ruoxing simply picked up his hot tea and took a sip to refresh himself.

"I dreamed of the 'young lady of the Zhou family'. Or rather, the woman trapped in this house."

Ming Ruoxing's dream was actually very simple - he dreamed that he had returned to the Zhou family's mansion back then, with a brand-new courtyard and pavilion.The backyard of the mourning hall is not a mourning hall either, there are many people coming and going, some are like servants, and some don't know what it is.

As soon as he stood still, there was a faint cry in the air.

Ming Ruoxun followed the crying sound through the courtyard, and came to the small courtyard where he and He Tiansi lived temporarily.Right here, he saw a beautiful woman with tears on her face, holding a naked child in her arms, standing beside the ancient well in the courtyard.

Having said that, Ming Ruoxing slightly lowered his head.

"She... threw that child into the well!"

Perhaps it was because the scene was too powerful, Ming Ruoxing woke up instantly, and felt cold hands and feet after waking up.So he decided to get up and go outside for a walk, and then he met He Tiansi.

"This is too far from the version of the ghost story. I think it's just an ordinary nightmare."

As soon as He Tiansi finished listening, he couldn't wait to express his opinion, "Believe it or not, it will definitely be fine after going back to sleep."

"I won't go." Ming Ruoxing turned his head away again, "I want you to go!"

As soon as I said this, I heard a piercing alarm, and He Tiansi's mobile phone on the table jumped up.

It's time to patrol again.

Chaoming Ruoxing told him to go back to sleep by himself after lying down enough, and He Tiansi took the flashlight and went out again.But just about ten steps away, he suddenly felt something was wrong, and when he turned his head, Ming Ruoxing followed behind.

"What are you doing?"

"Leave me alone."

He Tiansi had no choice but to say, "I know the cat's paw must be on top...but can we stop talking like this all the time?"

Ming Ruoxing opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, instead he walked over in one breath and quietly stood beside He Tiansi.

"Then I'm afraid."

He Tiansi almost thought he was hallucinating.He stared suspiciously at Ming Ruoxing in front of him, as if it wasn't the cat he knew at all, but a monster that had turned into Ming Ruoxing.

Low eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, so pure and well-behaved that it is almost powerless to resist.

Monster, this must be a monster!

Just when He Tiansi was so determined in his heart, he saw the "docile" Ming Ruoxing suddenly reached out and twisted his arm.

"If you don't leave, it's time for an alarm!"

"Go, go, let's go!"

Being twisted by him, He Tiansi suddenly felt comfortable again.There's nothing wrong with it, the person next to him is still the authentic Xiao Ming.

After confirming this, he stepped forward resolutely and led the "frightened" Ming Ruoxing towards the first inspection check-in location.
