Recuperate

Lin Jiu slept until six o'clock in the morning.

When Huo Yan pulled him out of the quilt, Lin Jiu hadn't woken up yet, he just raised his eyelids, and found that it was Huo Yan, who fell down and was about to fall asleep again.

Huo Yan grabbed the quilt directly, shook the stack twice, and stuffed it into the cabinet.

Lin Jiu muttered a few words, but he still didn't wake up.

Now Huo Yan took a good look at the other party. Lin Jiu seemed to have fallen asleep right after he came back, with his clothes and pants still on. The wine bottle was left open on the bedside table, and some of the liquid had already evaporated.

Lin Jiu is a light drinker, and he is quiet when he is drunk. After a few sips of Erguotou, he falls asleep within a short while.He usually doesn't drink alcohol, and Huo Yan has never seen him drink Erguotou.

He dipped the towel in hot water, pulled up the half-awake Lin Jiu, wiped his face and hands, "Why are you drinking?"

As the heat rose, Lin Jiu woke up. He took the towel and wiped it off by himself, "Yesterday... oh, I'm too tired not to talk about it."

Hearing what he said, Huo Yan was a little concerned, "...why?"

He snorted Lin Jiu's head, "Wouldn't it be me if something happened, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Jiu's face was buried in the hot towel, and his voice sounded muffled, "It's not a big deal."

What is that?

Huo Yan didn't ask, but said, "Go brush your teeth, I bought steamed stuffed buns and soy milk, and I'll serve dinner right away."

At this moment, Lin Jiu finished wiping his face, and he made a gesture of approval, and soon after brushing his teeth, he began to gobble it up.At first glance, I didn't eat at night, and I relied on sleep to resist my appetite.

"Yesterday you guys played quite late, you stayed all night, didn't you get together for a meal in the morning?" Lin Jiu asked while chewing.

"Swallow before talking." Huo Yan said, and then answered Lin Jiu's words, "Don't you still have you at home? What's the point of me going out to eat."

"Stop, stop!" Lin Jiu said, swallowing the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, "I've swallowed it, you speak normally." Only then did he notice that Huo Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't look like he had any blood at all. sleep well.But it's normal to play all night.

"I could have come back earlier, but something happened on the way." Huo Yan said, "Our class has an appointment at the China World Trade Center, which happens to be from our school next door. They celebrated their classmates' birthdays. But one of them who said they were coming couldn't be contacted. I didn't answer the phone, I didn't return to the dormitory, and I didn't know at home..."

"Not here? Is there no car? I remember that most drivers don't like to go to Guomao in the suburbs." After Lin Jiu finished speaking, he blinked, "Wait a minute...you just helped them find someone all night?"

Huo Yan shook his head, sighed and pinched his brows, "It's not about this either. There was a little accident, but it's not a big problem."

Lin Jiu said "Oh", but Huo Yan didn't mention it, so he didn't ask.The other party packed up and went back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep, leaving Lin Jiu who just woke up and didn't know what to do, so busy that he wanted to grow grass.

He grabbed the newspaper on the shoe rack, ready to pass the time with it.Today's newspaper has just been printed, and some ink is rubbed on my hands.Before he could sit down, he saw the front page, saying that there was a car accident last night, and the injured were sent to the hospital where he died and his identity has not yet been confirmed.

The photo is the scene of the accident after processing.

It was also the place where Lin Jiu saw the seafood monster yesterday—he named the slimy thing in his heart, it smelled fishy, ​​and it was still a monster.

The things that were about to be forgotten were placed in front of him impressively, Lin Jiu felt a little subtle.

After sleeping all night, the memory of yesterday is not only not blurred, but clearer.A few sips of white wine didn't help much. He knew that what he saw were seafood monsters, and what he smelled was also the fishy smell of aquatic creatures.But people around see no difference between seafood monsters and human beings, and only their own senses can feel the abnormality.

In this case, he favors what most people see: the people being hit are human.

It is yourself who has misperceptions.he thought.

Of course, Lin Jiu thought about whether he should tell Huo Yan about this matter?However, he quickly came to the conclusion that Huo Yan would not believe himself based on just a few words, he would even think that he was joking, or that he was really tired and hallucinated.If I almost think about it, I might suggest that I go to the hospital by myself.

No pressure and no family medical history, how come the hallucinations?

If he was right, could it be that the group had hallucinations?

Lin Jiu was lying on the sofa dejectedly, and he didn't know what else he could think of if he continued to think about it.He flipped through the newspapers, car accident, robbery, fire...not peaceful recently.No, this kind of thing happens every day, but I didn't notice it before.

There is no news from the boss so far, and I don't know if there is a result with the troublemakers.

He took out his phone from his pocket, opened the lock screen, and saw seven or eight missed calls, all from Huo Yan.The phone was on vibrate mode, and he was in a deep sleep, so he didn't know anything.Lin Jiu sent a text message to the boss to greet him, but he didn't reply after half an hour. He didn't know what trouble he had encountered.

Lin Jiu packed up, and it was not yet eight o'clock, so he packed lightly and walked straight to the studio the same way.Besides worrying about the boss, he still wanted to go back to that intersection again.

To put it bluntly, I was just curious.

Curiosity can kill a cat.

But he doesn't think he's the cat, and he keeps his curiosity within limits.

The junction had been restored to its former appearance, as if nothing had happened except for the dark smudges on the ground.

As long as nothing happened.

Lin Jiu was still waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, which was the only way to walk to the studio, and he couldn't dodge it even if he wanted to.When the light turned green, he opened his legs, paid attention to the traffic around him, and walked across the road safely.

But he still feels cold.

Lin Jiu was about to break out in a cold sweat.

fishy smell.

He smelled a fishy smell that didn't dissipate, not an illusion.

When I arrived at the studio, there was a notice of suspension of business posted at the door. The handwriting was scrawled and it was written by the boss.The door was locked, and the easels inside were scattered randomly, and some things had not been packed.

I'm afraid something really happened, but he doesn't care about it now.

Lin Jiu felt his heart beating very fast, he raised his head and saw his pale face on the closed glass door of the studio, his face was very ugly.He finally took a taxi back. The driver was a little surprised when he heard the address he gave, and muttered that he still took a taxi so close.But it seemed that he was not feeling well, and he didn't talk much.

Lin Jiu almost ran upstairs and poked the keyhole several times before opening the door.

He doesn't know what this is? ET aliens?Alien?Zombie siege?No, it doesn't count as anything, I'm afraid I'm the only one who noticed that the dead one was actually a seafood monster.That's not human, it's a monster.

Lin Jiu was frightened, he was the first to think of Huo Yan.He stumbled back to the bedroom and hugged Huo Yan who was sleeping soundly from behind the quilt.After taking a few deep breaths, he managed to calm down, and he didn't seem so scared anymore.

Sad news, the discount period for the dress I wanted to buy has passed.
