Soling Internet Cafe

When Yue Nuo came back, he was a little surprised to see three dishes and one soup on the table.

Tan Xiaoyu was distributing the bowls and chopsticks: "Sit down," she said, "I'll serve the rice."

Yue Nuo put down the things he was carrying, which were all daily necessities bought in a nearby supermarket.He and Tan Xiaoyu didn't have much luggage, so they just came here, and everything had to be rearranged.

Yue Nuo sat down and looked at the table.The three dishes are stir-fried diced chicken with corn kernels, green beans and carrots, deep-fried pork chops, and cold tofu. The soup is winter melon, seaweed and dried shrimp soup.It's not too difficult to cook, but Qin Xiaoyu is only 13 years old.

Qin Xiaoyu handed the rice to Yue Zhao, and Yue Zhao took it. She still had a bowl of rice in her hand, but instead of eating it herself, she put it on a small cabinet beside her.

Yue Nuo looked over, and there was a photo frame on the cabinet, in which was a photo of Tan Xiaoyu's mother, Tan Hongmei.

Tan Xiaoyu made a few small bowls, took a little of each dish, put the rice on at the end, set up the chopsticks and said, "Mom, eat slowly." She didn't fold her hands together, but just casually like her mother when she was still alive. Greeting.After finishing this, Tan Xiaoyu served himself a small bowl of rice and sat across from Yuezhao.

"What are you looking at, eat."

Yue Nuo bowed his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

For a while, there was no sound in the room, and the two of them just silently ate the rice in their own bowls.

"I'm done eating." Tan Xiaoyu stood up, "You can leave it alone after eating, and I'll wash it."

"Xiao Yu." Yue Nuo called to stop her.

Tan Xiaoyu turned around: "Huh?"

Looking at the little girl's clear eyes, Yue Nuo couldn't speak again: "It's nothing." He said.

Tan Xiaoyu looked at him suspiciously: "I paid the deposit, so don't break the contract," she said.

Yue Nuo took a breath and nodded.

In the kitchen, the sound of running water washing the dishes was heard in a short while, and Qin Xiaoyu could be seen busy in the kitchen from Yue Nuo's angle.The temperature has been high recently, and the little girl took off her coat, revealing the T-shirt she was wearing underneath.

Qin Xiaoyu is just a child.

Yue Nuo finished the rice in the bowl and went to the balcony to smoke.When passing by the low cabinet, Tan Hongmei smiled gently on the photo. When she took this photo, she must have never imagined that her life would come to an abrupt end in such a terrifying way.

The world is unfair and fucked up, but no matter how much you scold, it can't be reversed.

Yue Nuo touched the white jade bodhi bracelet hanging on his wrist. It was not a good jade material. The pendant was carved with a white lotus flower. Although he bought it from a stall outside the temple, he had been wearing it for many years away from home. Amulets on the body.

"I hope this kind of day will pass soon." Yue Nuo lit a cigarette on the balcony, frowning and puffing.

……

Xie Rujian came out and planned to open a shop.When passing the cubicle where Chu Lingya used to live, he involuntarily took a look inside.The quilt was neatly folded, and there was no one inside.

"Let's go," Xie Rujian thought, "it's fine to go." Even so, he felt a little awkward in his heart, as if he had done something wrong somewhere.

Xie Rujian stopped his thoughts and thought about what to do today.By the way, I have to print out a few more copies of the recruitment notice and post it. He needs money, and the Internet cafe must continue to operate, so the network administrator still has to recruit.But Xie Rujian knew that what Chu Lingya said was right, it was impossible to recruit such a high-powered, low-paying, cost-effective network administrator like him.

Xie Rujian turned on the machines one by one, keeping them in standby mode, and then found the USB flash drive where he had previously loaded the recruitment notice, and was about to print it when he heard a sound in the front yard.

Xie Rujian was a little puzzled. Logically, there should be no one in the store at this time, but the next moment, he saw Chu Lingya, who was holding a rag and a feather duster in one hand, and a vacuum cleaner in the other, wearing an apron in front of him. walked in briskly.

Seeing Xie Rujian, Chu Lingya was stunned for a moment, and then burst into a hearty smile: "Morning, brother Rujian. I have already cleaned the computer room, front yard, and bathroom. I will put breakfast in the kitchen for you Keep it warm, today is Chinese millet porridge with vegetable and meat buns, and a bowl of soy milk as a bonus."

Xie Rujian's face slowly darkened: "Chu Lingya," he called.

"Huh?" Chu Lingya just put the vacuum cleaner into her utility room, and is now taking off her PVC gloves, "What's the matter, brother Rujian?"

"Why are you still here?" Xie Rujian forced himself to say this, "My attitude should be very clear, why are you so thick-skinned?"

Chu Lingya's smiling face suddenly turned cloudy. He put down the feather duster and looked at Xie Rujian.

"Brother Rujian, I want to stay here."

"I've already said that you are not welcome here." Xie Rujian said, "Did I not express clearly enough?"

Chu Lingya's face also became serious: "Brother Rujian, I really don't know what opinion you have on me? Everything I have done since I came here has not violated the regulations. I really want to help you. You Even if you fire me, there must be a reason."

"Tell you not to open the door at night, did you open it and ask others if they want to learn C language?"

Chu Lingya: "..."

Chu Lingya said: "That's... I, I think that there are many people, and our Internet cafes are so difficult to operate. Let's think of a way together to improve the business situation. Isn't that okay?"

Xie Rujian: "Then you have to prescribe the right medicine. Liu Yue'e died more than 1000 years ago. What kind of computer do you know? What is the difference between letting her learn C language and killing her?"

Chu Lingya: "Then I'll change it next time. She's good-looking, and she's good at digging out people's psychological needs. She can learn from advertising and public relations."

Xie Rujian: "Then people have to be willing... No!" Xie Rujian finally realized that he was somehow led astray, "Stop talking nonsense, anyway, this is not the place for people like you to come."

"What kind of person am I?" Chu Lingya asked, "A person who has the eyes of truth, or a person who likes you?" He said as he walked towards Xie Rujian, as if he was going all out.

Chu Lingya was too "aggressive", Xie Rujian somehow felt that he was a little shorter, and unknowingly took a step back, another step, until he hit the counter.

Chu Lingya was half a head taller than Xie Rujian, standing in front of him, propping up the counter with both hands, enclosing Xie Rujian inside.

"I didn't want my eyes to grow. I was born that way. If you blame me for this, I feel wronged." Chu Lingya looked fierce, but when he opened his mouth, he was pitiful, "And I can't control the fact that I like you. , you have to blame me no matter what, shouldn’t you blame yourself for being the type I like everywhere?”

Xie Rujian: "???" Do you have to blame him?

Xie Rujian: "Why do you like me because of that painting?"

Chu Lingya: "What's wrong with the painting, I just fell in love with you at first sight."

Xie Rujian: "The one in the painting is not me."

Chu Lingya: "You lied."

Xie Rujian became extremely irritable, he had never seen such a difficult person as Chu Lingya in his life: "Even if you take ten thousand steps back, the painting is me..."

Chu Lingya's eyes lit up: "You are finally willing to admit it!"

Xie Rujian: "..."

Xie Rujian now feels that it is difficult to breathe.

Xie Rujian tried his best to calmly say: "I mean, even if the person in the painting is me, then you can't fall in love with someone just by looking at a painting, right? Is your reason for liking people so superficial?"

"It's not superficial if the person you like is you." Chu Lingya said, "You are a hundred times better than the one in the painting!"

This damn sweet talk!

Xie Rujian collapsed, he held onto Chu Lingya's arm tightly: "Do you really like me?"

"Correct."

"Oh," Xie Rujian sneered, "Do you know who I am and what I look like?"

"You are Brother Rujian, you are very beautiful." Chu Lingya replied fluently.

However, this time, Xie Rujian did not refute anything, but took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes.

Chu Lingya didn't know what Xie Rujian was going to do, but just felt a kind of danger.

A gust of cloudy wind suddenly blew in the room. In the originally clear sky, the sun seemed to be blocked by something, and the whole Sao Ling suddenly became extremely dim.

With a bang, the rubber band broke, and Xie Rujian's hastily tied braids came loose. In the wind, her long hair flew up, getting longer and longer, and the color was never dark or light. The flaxen color gradually turned into a rich and dripping blood color.Not only that, but Xie Rujian's appearance was also changing rapidly.

The plump cheek muscles collapsed, the cheekbones became higher, and his face became extremely pale. Two long fangs slowly protruded from his mouth, like the fangs of a wild beast.A blood-red totem appeared in the middle of Xie Rujian's forehead, like a vertical eye, and his face was also covered with strings of red runes.

"I look like you, don't I?" A cold voice came from Xie Rujian's mouth.

Accompanied by the sound of "creaking", Chu Lingya felt a rush of cold air.

The Yin wind hovered inside Sao Ling, sweeping around like a tornado, ice flakes appeared on the soles of his feet, the frost froze and cracked on the ground, and then froze again after cracking, firmly "sticking" his two legs to the ground.Feeling the cold touch, Chu Lingya lowered his head, just in time to see Xie Rujian's two "hands" on his arms.

Those were two pale hands also covered with red runes.The runes are bright red, the skin is pale, and the long nails are jet black. If you look carefully, you will find that those runes are not dead objects, but are moving gently like living things. It flickered brightly, like... a heart.

Xie Rujian said, "Open your eyes wide and take a good look."

He opened his eyes, and at a very close distance, Chu Lingya met a pair of bright red eyes, cold and strange like an abyss.

"This is my real face." Xie Rujian said, "I might as well tell you a little more, do you know where Sao Ling is?"

Chu Lingya stared blankly at Xie Rujian, as if petrified.

"There is Luofeng Mountain in the underworld, and there are six heavenly palaces and 24 hells on the mountain, which are dedicated to detaining and punishing the souls of people who committed heinous crimes during their lifetime or evil spirits who committed crimes after death. The place where ghosts are imprisoned!" Xie Rujian looked up at Chu Lingya, "Now you know..."

Xie Rujian's words stopped abruptly, because Chu Lingya leaned over at some point, and he got closer and closer, and he even closed his eyes... The sense of crisis made Xie Rujian stretch out at the last moment. With a shot, he slammed down Chu Lingya's head.

"What are you doing!" Xie Rujian almost wanted to curse.

The wind stopped suddenly, the dark clouds cleared, and the sun shone brightly. Xie Rujian's appearance also changed back to its original appearance because of the shock. Only the long hair, because the rubber band that tied the braid was broken, now hangs down on him like a waterfall. behind.

Chu Lingya's forehead was pressed against her chest, and she had to open her eyes, her beautiful eyes were covered with a hazy layer of water vapor at some point.

"Brother Rujian, I..." He spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.

"anyone there?"

There was a sudden shout from outside, and the two of them were startled at the same time. Chu Lingya let go of his hand, and Xie Rujian quickly got behind the counter, separated from Chu Lingya.Chu Lingya glanced at Xie Rujian, blushed inexplicably, coughed and said, "That me, I'll go greet the guests!" After speaking, he fled away like a tail on fire.

Xie Rujian: "..."

After a long time, Xie Rujian finally came to his senses. He finally understood that Chu Lingya didn't have a troubled personality, he probably... was mentally ill!
