Soling Internet Cafe

Xie Rujian had just returned to Saoling Internet Café, before he even entered the gate, when he heard Chu Lingya's voice from inside: "Look this way, yes, turn your face a little more, okay, don't move, keep this look ..." During the period, there was the sound of "click click" when the shutter was pressed.

What is he doing again?

When Xie Rujian thought of the young man, his whole face collapsed, and he couldn't even feel the sense of urgency just now.

Originally, Chu Lingya seems to have this ability, even if there is a big trouble, as long as you see him, you will not be troubled, because he is the biggest trouble!

Xie Rujian hesitated for a while, almost turned around and left, but finally dragged in and walked in.

As soon as he walked around the screen wall, Xie Rujian was almost blinded by the light.I saw a few photography lamps placed in the yard, the reflectors were supported by chairs, and Chu Lingya was carrying a SLR camera, taking pictures of the models in the middle of the yard.

The model was wearing a white Tang-made round-neck gown, with makeup on, a flat chest, but provocative eyeliner, a pair of big cat eyes, silver-white hair combed into a high ponytail and gently rippling behind her, following Chu Ling According to Ya's request, raise your head for a while, lower your head for a while, lean your back against a big tree for a while to make a toothache and think about it, and raise your arms to shade the sun for a while to make a headache and melancholy. He raised his neck and said "ahhh" to catch it in one gulp, like taming animals in a zoo, but it actually looks quite beautiful.

"Meow~" Seeing Xie Rujian come back, the model Baihu grinned and wanted to pounce on him.

"Don't move, don't move!" Chu Lingya said, "Yes, that's it, there is only one piece left!"

Xie Rujian was just about to reach out to pick up Baihu: "???"

Chu Lingya pressed the shutter: "Okay."

The white tiger jumped out of the clothes with a "whoosh", turned back into a tortoiseshell shape, and threw itself directly into Xie Rujian's arms.Look carefully, there is a bow tie on the back of the head.

Xie Rujian: "...What are you doing?"

"Take some promotional photos." Chu Lingya was busy, probably because it was hot.He, who was always dressed meticulously, now unbuttoned the top two collars of his shirt, revealing his beautiful collarbone and part of his well-proportioned pectoral muscles. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his skin was brightly wheat-colored, and sweat hung on his cheeks. The chest will not fall, and the whole person looks shiny.

Xie Rujian coughed, feeling a little baffled by his distraction.He asked, "What kind of promotional photo are you taking?" While patting the white tiger, the little guy was obviously well fed this afternoon, with a bulging stomach, and he was very comfortable.

"Promote our internet cafe. I've thought about it. If we want to do a good job in business, we must first increase our popularity. We, Saoling, can't compare our scale with others, and we can't compare the price-performance ratio with others. There is only an elementary school nearby, and it is not The target audience, the good thing is that we are hidden in the city here, and it is an old house. In this society, many people advocate the traditional national style. We will pack in this direction and try to get a Wenqing check-in landmark. When the time comes There must be a lot of customers." Chu Lingya was full of confidence, "I have finished my plan, Brother Rujian, take a look when you have time, and correct me."

For no reason, Xie Rujian was stuffed with a bound planning book, and he opened it to take a look at the packaging style, visual identity, media promotion platform, event promotion stage, etc., which gave him a headache.

"I also want to ask for your opinion. For this packaging, our house may need to be decorated a little bit..." Chu Lingya said cautiously, "But don't worry, brother Rujian, I will definitely not touch the hard structure casually, just do the soft decoration Let the overall style be unified, so that it is easier for users to form a complete impression."

"You can do it." Xie Ru gradually retreated, "Then...will it cost a lot of money?"

"Don't worry, I will try my best to find friends for free help. We can find some time to go to the flea market to buy some small things. Oh yes, this should be called the small commodity market. You can also go to a certain treasure to buy. It is cheap. I have a general direction. Overall It’s about ten or twenty thousand.”

"Oh..." Xie Rujian suddenly felt that it would be nice to have such a subordinate, as if he didn't have to worry about making money anymore?But... still troublesome.

Xie Rujian was actually in a bad mood when he left Jingci Temple, but at this moment, it seemed nothing had happened.Even if the sky falls, life will still go down, not to mention the sky should not fall yet.

Xie Rujian thought for a while and said, "Xiao Chu, I'll introduce you to a few people tonight."

Chu Lingya was stunned for a moment, then smiled immediately: "Okay, okay," he agreed, "Brother Rujian, I'm free!"

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chu Lingya sent away the last batch of customers of Saoling Internet Cafe for the day.

Today's business is pretty good, the occupancy rate has reached 50%, that is... there are five customers, and there are two other people who come to copy documents.After the Saoling Internet Cafe changed to a new machine, the speed of playing games was good. Although a few customers who came to the Internet came here by mistake, after trying it, they felt that the place was clean, and they drank Chu Lingya's special drink. I feel very satisfied, and I must have the potential to become a repeat customer.

Chu Lingya took no time to send them a leaflet about the upcoming renovation of Saoling Internet Cafe, left her contact information, and agreed to give priority to these people in future events.

Xie Rujian was fishing by the side the whole time, this was the first time he experienced this refreshing feeling.The network administrators invited before are like abacus beads, they only move once they are dialed, and they may not be able to move in the right direction. It is really the right place to find Chu Lingya... Ah, no, when I think of Chu Lingya's "troublesome" place , Xie Rujian decided to reserve his evaluation.

"Brother Rujian, I packed it up."

When Xie Rujian raised his head, he couldn't help being stunned.

Chu Lingya in front of me seemed to have just come out of the shower, her hair was neatly combed, she was wearing an iron gray suit, a dark tie, shiny leather shoes, and an expensive-looking watch on her wrist, with an elite face look, looked at him eagerly.

Xie Rujian: "..."

Xie Rujian took off his glasses and wiped them, put them back on and looked at them again, he still looked the same, this time he also found that Chu Lingya was spraying on perfume profusely.

Xie Rujian: "What are you doing?"

"Huh?" Chu Lingya glanced at himself, "Aren't we going out?"

"stay home."

"Didn't Brother Rujian say you want to introduce someone to me?"

"It's in the shop."

"Oh, that's fine." Chu Lingya said, "It's convenient that way." He dragged out a big bag from behind: "I was in a hurry and didn't prepare well. Fortunately, I bought it at a duty-free shop when I came back from abroad." I bought something, but I don’t know if it’s enough as a gift.”

Xie Rujian looked at Chu Lingya, really a bit speechless, and finally said: "Are you ready?"

"All right."

"Okay, then come with me." Xie Rujian stood up.Chu Lingya saw him go behind the counter and took out a hexagonal glazed palace lantern.The palace lantern is not big, [-] to [-] centimeters high, but the workmanship is extremely exquisite, the material is crystal clear, and the brilliance is bright, but it is different from ordinary palace lanterns. What is painted on each side is not auspicious patterns such as dragon and phoenix, five sons winning the championship, etc. Unify abstract water waves of different colors.

The six colors of red gold, green, indigo, cinnabar, gamboge, and jet black outline the dynamics of rippling water on the six sides. I don’t know if it’s because of the light. At first glance, it seems that the lines are still changing slowly, like A corner of the real lake water is intercepted and placed on it, but if you look closely, the lines are still lines, everything seems to be an illusion.

Xie Rujian picked up the palace lantern and walked towards the front yard. Chu Lingya followed suspiciously. When passing through the courtyard, Baihu followed, obediently following Xie Rujian's heels, with his tail raised high , not like a cat, but like a dog.

Chu Lingya watched as Xie Rujian walked around the screen wall, opened the door of Saoling Internet Cafe, followed, and hung the palace lantern on the hook under the eaves of the door.Almost at the moment when the palace lantern was hung up, Chu Lingya felt a gust of cold wind blowing over.

Probably not too spooky, but cool indeed.At the same time, the bell hanging under the eaves of Saoling Internet Cafe made a "ding ding ding" sound.The wind pushed the bell, and when the bell rang, the palace lantern slowly turned, like the old-fashioned marquee lantern before. Perhaps because of this rotation, the dynamics of the water waves were connected. Although the colors were different, Chu Ling Ya seemed to see a shallow stream contained in the palace lantern, breathing quietly in the light.

The sound of water reverberated in Chu Lingya's ears. At first, it was shallow and soft, like the ding-dong of a mountain stream. However, soon those small streams seemed to converge, and became more violent with the drop of the mountain, forming a The sound of rushing water flow, and then the sound of water flow became louder and louder, roaring like a waterfall.

"This is..." Chu Lingya raised his head and looked around, because the voice was too loud, he even unconsciously covered his ears and raised the volume.

It clearly feels like one is standing near the waterfall, can hear the rushing sound of Kawataki, and can even feel the occasional cold water splashing on the face, but Chu Lingya can't see anything.

He couldn't help but close his eyes, and then opened them again, the ordinary alley was still in front of him.

"Come," Xie Rujian said, "I'll take you to get to know Sao Ling again."

Xie Rujian went out and then came in, Chu Lingya hurriedly followed, and the moment she stepped over the threshold, Chu Lingya's eyes widened slightly involuntarily.

"Why didn't you see it just now?" Chu Lingya couldn't help thinking in his heart.

The bright moon hangs high, big and bright obliquely in the sky, and a silver chain pours down from it, like a galaxy waterfall hanging from the nine heavens, rushing forward.The water splashed and converged into an incomparably wide river in front of me. No matter how turbulent and turbulent it was when it fell, it turned into kindness and gentleness afterward.The already familiar screen wall of Saoling Internet Cafe floats not far in front, and the big pagoda tree is still there, but it has become bigger, standing in a place far, far away, as if it is indomitable.

The place where Chu Lingya and the two were standing was like a small ferry, and a lamp hung on the ferry, like some kind of sign.

Xie Rujian lifted his foot and left.

"Wait..." Before Chu Lingya finished speaking, he saw feldspar-shaped steps quietly floating in the water, Xie Ru gradually walked forward, and those stone steps floated one by one out of the water.

"What are you still doing in a daze, keep up."

Chu Lingya snapped back to her senses, and hurriedly followed.

Stretch out your feet and step on it, and the feedback from the bottom feels very real, just like stepping on flat ground, even though the water waves are rippling nearby.Chu Lingya was sure there was nothing wrong with her, so she quickly followed, walking hand in hand with Xie Rujian.

Xie Rujian glanced at him and said nothing.

It's so fantastic!

Chu Lingya couldn't help but think that even though she was mentally prepared, she still felt that Sao Ling was amazing.

There are water lamps floating on the tranquil water, illuminating the surroundings very brightly, and looking up is a dark blue sky full of stars.The building that originally belonged to the front yard of Sao Ling did not disappear, but became very distant and unimportant. Chu Lingya saw the lobby of the Internet cafe, the bathroom he had built just now, and even the building in the front yard. Toilets, but these buildings that should be firmly connected are scattered one by one at this moment, floating in this water area, far or near, and disappearing in a flash, like a leaf or a piece of water that accidentally fell into the water. flower.

Chu Lingya said: "Brother Rujian, I now understand the meaning of the rules you told me earlier. If I didn't bring the lamp you gave me out before midnight, I would probably get lost in this illusion. After midnight I haven't figured it out yet."

"You will understand soon." Xie Rujian said, "It's here."

Chu Lingya raised her head, and suddenly found that the two of them had walked up to the screen wall without knowing it, but the screen wall, which was originally only two or three meters high, now looked majestic and tall, like a stone gate solemnly blocking the two. the way people go.

The white tiger gave a "meow" and jumped to the door in twos and threes.

Chu Lingya looked carefully, only to find that there was a small groove on the side of the door. The white tiger stretched out its claws and patted it lightly, and a light suddenly appeared on the screen wall.That ray of light outlined a rectangular shape, and then, accompanied by a slight rumbling sound, a gap in a door appeared on the screen wall.

The light and the human voice came out from the door at the same time, Chu Lingya glanced at Xie Rujian, and the latter made a "please" gesture, Chu Lingya bravely stepped in, and in an instant, The noisy voices engulfed him, and Chu Lingya saw a brightly lit stage.
