Roster of Demons

Gu Zhen rushed through the equipment area angrily, went back to the office and slammed the door, and poured down two glasses of cold water.

Chen Ming heard the movement, followed all the way, knocked on the office door, poked his head in from the outside: "Why, you ate cumin early in the morning, so angry?"

Gu Zhen sat down on the boss chair: "I had a fight with my friend!"

Chen Ming walked into the office, closed the door again, and opened the seat opposite Gu Zhen: "Talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about, it's all his fault." Gu Zhen snorted.

"Do I know you?" Chen Ming asked.

"You don't know." Gu Zhen said, "selfish, arrogant, narcissistic, self-righteous, self-centered, and extremely cold-blooded, whoever knows him will be unlucky."

"What kind of friends do you usually make?" Chen Ming said, "According to your statement, this person is full of shortcomings?"

"That's right." Gu Zhen said, "It's useless."

"That's it—" Chen Ming elongated his tone, and thought carefully, "I shouldn't have said too much, but according to your description, most of these people have bad conduct, so it's okay if they don't make friends. Take advantage of the opportunity of the quarrel to completely and thoroughly Break it off, and don't have any more contact in the future."

"Ah?" Gu Zhen was angry, but Chen Ming's words still made him a little confused, "Is this okay?"

Chen Ming said: "What's wrong. Have you heard the story of 'Meng's mother moved three times'?"

Gu Zhen said, "I heard."

Chen Ming said: "Mother Meng moved three times in order to have a good environment for Mencius to grow up. Why? I just don't want him to be affected by a bad environment. Worthless cronies will only bring you down, and you should die early." "

"Isn't it good?" Gu Zhen was embarrassed again, "It's not that this person is really useless. He is quite responsible, he is very loyal to his friends and those under his command, he is not picky about what he eats, and sometimes he asks too much Points, but never wasted."

Chen Ming: "...They are all cold-blooded and self-righteous, and you still speak for him. It is an advantage not to waste food? What exactly do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything." Gu Zhen lay down on the table, like a deflated little yellow duck, collapsed into a poached egg, "I'm just going to get angry."

Chen Ming is also someone who has experienced it. After pondering Gu Zhen's attitude, he slowly felt the taste: "Is this friend unusual? Who are you? Tell me, so I can give you some advice."

"Don't think about it, you're nobody!" Gu Zhen said, after thinking about it, he added angrily, "Nobody at all!"

"OK, I understand." Chen Ming nodded clearly, "It's normal to be awkward after being together for a long time. But the quarrel is the quarrel, the important thing is not to hurt the peace. If it's not a matter of principle, you should be more empathetic and talk about it." apologize?"

Gu Zhen sat up straight suddenly: "It's not my fault, why should I apologize?"

"...Come on, you can make trouble yourself." Chen Ming said.

It's useless to chatter with angry people, it's all nonsense.Chen Ming simply stopped talking, and put his hands on the armrests to get up: "Oh, yes, there is one more thing. During the two days when you brought Yuanbao, did you give him snacks?"

"No. Meals are on time and on time, with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables. Absolutely no snacks." Gu Zhen argued.Snacks are snacks, and ice cream is ice cream.

Chen Ming was thoughtful: "Yuan Bao said that the toothache..."

"Ah! It's so strange, I'm not so angry all of a sudden." Gu Zhen first stood up and Chen Ming stepped forward, "My legs are itchy, I'm going for a run."

Chen Ming chuckled and shook his head helplessly.

Gu Zhen said that when she runs, she always runs, and except for lunch and rest time, she has been on the treadmill all the time.There were many people who came to exercise in the afternoon, and some of them couldn't use the machine. Chen Ming couldn't bear it anymore and drove him away.

Gu Zhen had nowhere to go and didn't want to go home, so she just bought popcorn and went to the movies by herself.

There haven't been any blockbuster movies recently, so he picked one at random, bought a single seater, and ate popcorn while watching the movie.

The movie tells about a couple, handsome and beautiful, from high school to college to entering the society. In one and a half hours, they have tossed and reunited at least four or five times. Life has been sublimated once.

When the show was over, he went out from the passage beside the curtain wall, and met two acquaintances whom he hadn't seen for a long time at the entrance of the theater - Xiaoyan and his junior.

"You two!" Gu Zhen's gaze shifted from their almost touching heads to their intertwined hands, and then back to their small-eyed faces, "How dare you!"

The junior was thin-skinned and embarrassed, and wanted to free his hand, but was held tightly by his small eyes.He squinted his eyes and laughed at Gu Zhen: "I'm so interested, watching the movie alone."

Not to be outdone, Gu Zhen said, "Yes. Cultivate your sentiment."

"Why don't we have a meal together? It's just in time for dinner, so it's better to hurry up." Small eyes asked politely.

"Okay. I'm worried that no one will have dinner with me. It's better to hurry up." Gu Zhen said unceremoniously, "There's a good hot pot downstairs, go and try it?"

"..." The face with small eyes turned green, and Gu Zhen gave Gu Zhen a hard twist in a place where the junior couldn't see.

The three of them went to eat together, and Gu Zhen went to the bathroom on the way.

As soon as he stood firmly on his front foot, the little eyes on his back foot followed.

"Coincidentally, you also come to release the water." Gu Zhen said.

"Don't pretend to be garlic." Xiaoyan asked him with gritted teeth, "Did you do it on purpose. Didn't you realize that you are a high-brightness incandescent light bulb?"

"I found it." Gu Zhen zipped it up and went to the side to wash his hands.

"Then you still don't go!" Little Eyes said.

"I don't have a place to go." Gu Zhen squeezed some foam and rubbed his hands, "It's so pitiful to eat alone."

"Who cares about your life, anyway, you have to go." The little eyes also squeezed a little foam, and rubbed vigorously, "It's finally developed to watching movies and eating, and you can do anything by yourself. Don't make trouble."

"...Okay." Gu Zhen shrugged helplessly.

No matter how thick-skinned Gu Zhen was, she was ashamed to continue doing bad things and doing good things, so she took a step ahead under the pretext of being summoned.

He was leaning halfway in front of the cash register, and while waiting for the bill to be settled, he looked at Xiaoyan and his junior with great interest.

The junior still doesn't like to talk, but when Xiaoyan opens his mouth, he will listen carefully and look at each other intently, acting as the most sincere listener.

So, I'm not really bored, but the person I want to respond to is not you.

"Sir, please keep your card."

Gu Zhen took back the credit card, smiled politely at the cashier, and left the restaurant.

Gu Zhen looked at the time.

If Little Crow is okay at this point, he will watch TV in the living room.The two quarreled so fiercely today, the little crow probably wouldn't want to see him.

Then do you want to go back?

Gu Zhen was at the gate of the community, hesitating.

In fact, after this day, his anger has almost disappeared, especially after seeing the progress of Xiaoyan and his junior.

At the beginning, the small eyes were still troubled by the fact that the junior was too bored. Who would have thought that the two of them have gone through many twists and turns and get along with each other freely.

To be honest, Gu Zhen was very envious.

However, between him and the little crow, it will never be possible to close the language distance like Little Eyes and the others.

Today's noise, from Gu Zhen's point of view, it is understandable for him to be angry; but from the point of view of the little crow, it is only natural for him to be angry.

Both are wrong and both are right.

The reason is very simple - Gu Zhen is a human being, not a fanatical believer; the little crow is a monster, and a monster standing at the top of power.

The ideas of the two are fundamentally different.

What's more, Gu Zhen tried in vain to get more from this deformed affiliation.

Ever since he fell in love with the little crow uncontrollably, or earlier, he has already been at a disadvantage in this game, and he has no bargaining power with the little crow at all.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhen felt an indescribable sense of frustration welling up in his chest, with nowhere to vent.

He pushed open the door of the apartment, and the room was pitch black, and the little crow was not at home.

He stood in the dark for a while, then turned on the light, opened the refrigerator, and stacked boxes of ice cream into the freezer.

Gu Zhen waited on the sofa in the living room until dawn, but the little crow never came back.

Did not return the next day.

Until the morning when Gu Zhen went to report for the training camp, the little crow never showed up in the apartment again.

Gu Zhen's finger flicked back and forth on Little Crow's cell phone number, but he didn't press it in the end.

After packing his luggage, he ran to the rooftop.

The gray pigeons were so disturbed by his movement that they flew wildly in the sky, and finally slid to a stop on the guardrail.

If someone watches the surveillance now, they will find that Gu Zhen is talking to the pigeons like a lunatic.

"I'm going to go out for half a year, and I'm not at home during this time. The window on the balcony is closed, but it's not locked; the housekeeper also agreed that it won't be locked after cleaning, and you can play at any time. I'm leaving."

The pigeons stared at him with round eyes.

Gu Zhen walked a few steps, turned around again, hesitated for a while, and then said: "If you see the little crow, let him come back to live. Tell him, the pocket money is under the TV cabinet, and there is ice cream in the refrigerator .” He paused, and then said, “Take care of him more.”

The gray pigeons cooed.

"Just as you agreed." Gu Zhen thought about it again, as if he had nothing to add, "I'm really leaving, goodbye." He lifted his backpack, turned and went downstairs.

The iron door closed behind him, and a black bird folded its wings and landed on the glass roof of the sun room.

He stared into the distance without saying a word.
