Dazed

Qi Zheng's eyes looked a little confused and thoughtful in the vast world, and sometimes he felt that life is really wonderful, and in just a short moment, earth-shaking changes can occur, which makes people caught off guard.

He was watching, when suddenly the phone in his pocket rang enthusiastically. He took it out and saw the three words "Cao Jingxing" on the screen.

Qi Zheng's two resolute thick eyebrows frowned again, he pressed his hand, picked it up, and said, "What's the matter?"

"How is the matter on the construction site?" Cao Jingxing asked over there. His voice, which usually sounds gentle and elegant like the tone of a piano, seemed a little hoarse because of what happened last night. Instead, it was more difficult to detect through the transmission of electric current. The magnetism makes people feel itchy when they listen to it. The sound is like a hook, hooking all the thoughts of the listener.

"1 dead and 15 injured. The construction site was sealed off. They were all police reporters. The workers were packing up their things and were about to leave. Zhou Tao said that he would get paid tomorrow, so that's all for now." Qi Zheng replied briefly. , he felt that he did not know much about the situation.

Cao Jingxing on the other end of the phone understood. He thought for a while and said, "Oh, did you buy the train ticket? When did you buy it?"

Qi Zheng seemed a little irritated by Cao Jingxing's interrogation with obvious ulterior motives. He rubbed the tip of his brows with some annoyance, and said, "I bought it earlier, on the 28th day of the new year."

"Lunar calendar?" Cao Jingxing asked.

"En." Qi Zheng replied, avoiding Cao Jingxing's previous question and not answering. He was thinking about whether there was anyone around who he knew who could help him get through the seven days, whether it was long or short.

Who knew that Cao Jingxing changed his usual easy-going manner, and softly persuaded: "Come here, Qi Zheng."

Qi Zheng on the other end of the phone was holding the phone, his face darkened like the water at the bottom of a lake, with a silent refusal, and Cao Jingxing on the other end of the phone didn't answer either. Through the phone, he could only hear his steady and powerful breathing.

"You need mine." Cao Jingxing said again suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Qi Zheng asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you notice something?" Cao Jingxing said suddenly and inexplicably, his words were as calm and leisurely as ever.

"What's the matter?" Qi Zheng asked with an unfriendly expression, he couldn't think of anything about him that Cao Jingxing knew, but he didn't.

"Look up and look outside the corridor." Cao Jingxing added this sentence, as if he could see Qi Zheng's every move.

Qi Zheng frowned, and replied impatiently, "I'm in the corridor right now."

"Then stick your head out, look down, and look at the ground downstairs." Cao Jingxing's tone suddenly became short and low, like a soldier giving orders on the battlefield, and there was a trace of leisurely and careless in the low tone. There seems to be no gloom.

There seems to be a looming depression in the air, and the surrounding area is quiet. Usually, this dormitory building is always noisy with a group of migrant workers. The noisy sound can make this area far away from the urban area and seem a little lonely. The buildings in the building add a lot of life atmosphere, but right now, all the people are gone. It is the first time that Qi Zheng feels this kind of atmosphere where people are drinking tea, and he suddenly feels that the quietness is a bit strange.

Listening to Cao Jingxing's words, he still kept holding the mobile phone with his right hand, and then he leaned out of the railing in the corridor suspiciously, not sure what Cao Jingxing wanted him to do. On the concrete floor where no weeds grow, and nothing else.

What are you doing?Qi Zheng, who was about to scold Cao Jingxing for deliberately teasing him, planned to retract his body, but just as he opened his mouth, before he could say anything, his gaze caught off guard to the corner at the bottom of the corridor.

A whole black thing is hanging upside down in the hallway, the shadow covers his figure, only the wet and sticky fluff can be seen all over his body, his hands and feet that are as dry as a few matches are curled up like the wings of a bat , his face is very small, like an inverted triangle, covered with a pair of big black eyes and a thin mouth.

Sensing that someone was watching him, the thing suddenly widened its eyes, the eyes were excited to see the prey, and suddenly opened its small mouth, revealing rows of teeth densely packed like saws, Screaming, he rushed towards Qi Zheng.

"Damn!" Qi Zheng dodged abruptly, stretched his body up to avoid the attack of that thing, but because of too much force, he suddenly fell to the ground, and the phone slid to the ground, making a crackling sound .

Fortunately, the thing didn't chase after seeing it fluttering. It retracted its claws and perched there quietly.

Cao Jingxing had a good time on the other end of the phone, he could hear Qi Zheng's hasty scolding, and he could also imagine how he was feeling right now.

"Fuck, what is that?" Relieved, Qi Zheng picked up the phone again and asked hastily.

"It's a ghost." Cao Jingxing returned slowly.

"What?" Qi Zheng was confused.

At this time, Cao Jingxing suddenly sighed and said, "Come back, I will explain to you."

With a "snap", Qi Zheng hung up the phone. He was rarely taken aback, and stood up for a long time. It was not until someone passed by at the end of the corridor that he came back to his senses and left thoughtfully.

For dinner, Qi Zheng brought two servings of fried rice noodles casually fried on the side of the road, and when he returned home, Cao Jingxing was still brewing tea leisurely in the study room, and the dense tea fragrance rose from the room, lingering.

With a "snap", Qi Zheng frowned and opened the door. Seeing his figure, with determination in his eyes, he asked, "What exactly do you want to say to me?"

Cao Jingxing moved his eyes to Qi Zheng who was standing at the door with an urgent expression on his face. Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, like a breeze blowing across his face, calming Qi Zheng who was already in a hurry.

"Your physique is inherently yin, and you can see ghosts." Cao Jingxing said.

Qi Zheng waved his hand impatiently and said, "I've known this for a long time."

"But, have you ever thought that they will hurt you?" Cao Jingxing asked again.

Qi Zheng was taken aback by the question. At present, he has not encountered any animals in the other world that would harm him, so he showed a little confusion.

Cao Jingxing still sat there leisurely, and said calmly, "That's because I'm by your side, so they dare not hurt you."

Hearing this, Qi Zheng was startled, looked at the man sharply, with some hostility in his eyes, and asked, "Then who are you?"

"I'm here to protect you." Cao Jingxing returned softly, his eyes fixed on Qi Zheng's face, appearing very sincere.

Qi Zheng was taken aback suddenly, his eyebrows frowned, his face showed impatience, and he said, "Stop joking!"

"Only you know whether I'm joking or not." Cao Jingxing stood up suddenly, walked in front of Qi Zheng, faced him face to face, and said, "At present, I have blocked many disasters you have encountered for you."

Qi Zheng raised his head in disbelief, looking at the calm Cao Jingxing, he was speechless.

"Tao Qinghui can't help you," Cao Jingxing said slowly, "because he can't be by your side all the time like me, follow you, and protect you."

"Qi Zheng, we are a match made in heaven."

That calm, unhurried, and inevitable voice was like spider threads protruding from all directions, as if it wanted to trap Qi Zheng in this small room.

Standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment by Cao Jingxing's sudden words. He didn't understand what happened where he didn't notice. He just felt a little awkward and weird. Cao Jingxing was just his roommate. , Now why should I talk to him like a guardian, and more importantly, what is his true identity.

Standing there, his thoughts turned quickly, and he connected all the things he encountered since he met Cao Jingxing. He was surprised to find that he didn't know much about Cao Jingxing. This person was expressing himself to him everywhere, But he hides it from himself everywhere, what kind of unfathomable secrets are there that haven't been unearthed yet.

Thinking of this, Qi Zheng's eyes suddenly became clear. He looked at the man with a wounded hand in front of him with some resistance, and said, "I suddenly realized that you are like a huge mystery, and there are secrets everywhere."

Cao Jingxing lowered his head slightly, curled his lips slightly, and smiled in his eyes, and said slowly, "You are welcome to explore."

Qi Zheng frowned when he heard this, with a hint of unruliness in his eyes, and said, "Are you aggressive?"

"Have you taken the bait?" Cao Jingxing asked leisurely.

Qi Zheng stared at him unkindly for a while, then suddenly turned around without saying a word, and slammed the study door shut. Cao Jingxing's ears were startled by the urgent knock on the door. At the back, I heard the other party say: "I have changed the train ticket, and I will go home the day after tomorrow."

"Do you have the heart to leave me here alone? I'm a disabled person now." Cao Jingxing followed behind and said relentlessly.

Qi Zheng couldn't help frowning at him, and said, "Don't you have any family?"

"My family is in the United States. My hand is injured so badly. How can I fly alone and go abroad?"

"Don't you have an uncle?" Qi Zheng said again, suddenly, he felt something was wrong, he raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why didn't your uncle come to see you when you were injured?"

Cao Jingxing said without changing his face: "I didn't tell him, besides, he is not in the country now, so how can he come to see me when he has time?"

That's true, Qi Zheng frowned his thick eyebrows and fell into deep thought. He didn't know what to do with Cao Jingxing, so he heard the man on the opposite side say cheekily: "Why don't I go back with you."

"What?" Qi Zheng looked up at him, saw the man smiling calmly, and said, "Your ticket hasn't been changed, has it? There are so many people during the Spring Festival travel festival, how could it be possible to change it just by saying it?"

"You can't buy tickets either, they are all sold out now." Qi Zheng replied indifferently.

"I've already bought it in advance. When you and your mother were on the phone, I heard the date of your return home. Maybe we are sitting next to each other."

"You!" Qi Zheng was stunned, and the anger that rose immediately turned into an indescribable refusal when he saw the other party's slow look. He suddenly smiled, his eyes were full of coldness, mocking Said: "You are quite sure."

Cao Jingxing accepted Qi Zheng's ridicule calmly, smiled like a spring breeze, and said, "Otherwise, how could it be possible to chase you?"

Qi Zheng narrowed his eyes suddenly, like a jackal being aroused, his Adam's apple twitched, and said, "Cao Jingxing, don't be too shameless."

It would be too much to tease him any longer, maybe Qi Zheng would get angry and punch him, so Cao Jingxing could only lick his face, laugh along with him, and said, "Just kidding, if you don't like it, I will say less. "
