I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

Jiang Miao didn't sleep that night, he almost kept his eyes open until dawn.It started to snow at dawn, and by the time he struggled out of bed to clean himself up, a thin layer had already accumulated on the window sill.

There was a rhythmic knock on the door, three times at a time, without rush.I also know that the only person who can knock on the door like this is the gentleman who lives opposite.

Jiang Miao opened the door in response, only to see Xichi standing at the door wearing a piece of home clothes.After seeing him, he curled his lips and said warmly: "I made scallop porridge, drink some before going out."

Jiang Miao originally wanted to say that there is no need to bother so much, but at this moment, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.He nodded, and smiled at Qichi: "Alright."

When the hot and soft scallop porridge was wrapped in his belly, Jiang Xiao felt that the fatigue brought by the whole night disappeared instantly.He took the last bite, stretched himself comfortably on the sofa, turned his head and shouted at Qi Chi in the back room: "Brother Xiaohua, I really like you more and more! You are so capable!"

"Seeing that you are not in good spirits, I added some traditional Chinese medicine to the porridge, as long as it doesn't taste too strong."

Qi Chi walked out from the back room while talking, Jiang Miao's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he couldn't help whistling: "My little brother Hua, are you going on a date?"

Following Jiang Miao's words, Xichi was wearing a long gray windbreaker with a slim fit, and his figure was extraordinarily tall and straight. Once he stood there, he looked like a model walking down from a magazine.

"A real estate agent who helped me with Feng Shui before invited me to dinner."

"Oh, then go quickly, don't make Party A's father wait in a hurry." Jiang Xiao hurriedly said.

"We have a dinner date."

"...?"

Jiang Xiaoxin said to make an appointment for dinner, you should tidy up your wool now!But I still can't help but say a few polite words: "Then why don't you go have hot pot with me at noon first? But the smell of hot pot is too strong, it's easy to get on your clothes everywhere..."

"Okay." Qi Chi nodded slightly.

"En?" Jiang Miao was taken aback.

Xichi opened the door: "It's rare for you to treat me, let's go."

"Ah, oh! Let's go~"

Jiang Miao followed Xi Chi out of the room, always feeling that he had planned to have dinner with him from the beginning.

Jiang Miao secretly swallowed his saliva, and thought to himself, could it be that he always wanted to take advantage of others before, and now they have recovered their senses and wanted to kill him?But after thinking about it, even if a hot pot meal is slaughtered, it won't go anywhere. At worst, it will be reimbursed when the time comes!

……

Before the hot pot restaurant had time to serve customers, Jiang Xiao found a nearby seat and handed the menu to Qichi.

"Let's see what to eat?"

"all good."

all good?It's all good and easy to handle!

Jiang Miao quickly turned on the phone: "Then let's do group buying directly!"

He made a group meal for 2-3 people and returned the menu to the waiter.I just felt a sudden chill behind me, and someone pushed open the door of the hot pot restaurant.

"Brother Jiang Miao!" Sun Miao, who was wearing a white velvet coat, jumped in front of Jiang Miao and sat down beside him with a chill.

"You really don't look like you just sang all night." Jiang Xiao handed the phone to Sun Miao, "Do you want some hot drinks?"

Seeing that Sun Miao hadn't moved for a long time, Jiang Miao couldn't help but look up, only to see that Sun Miao's attention was now directed to Qi Chi who was sitting across from him.

"Who is this?" Sun Miao asked with some embarrassment.

"Ah, forgot to introduce! We..."

"We live together." Qichi nodded politely at Sun Miao.

Jiang Miao laughed, although there was nothing wrong with what he said, but why, why did it sound a little subtle?

Sure enough, Sun Miao's eyes widened instantly.

"you……"

"We live across the street, in the same neighborhood!" Jiang Xiao hurriedly took over the conversation and waved to the waiter, "Please bring this lady a cup of hot corn juice."

At this point in the conversation, Sun Miao's gaze was always on Jiang Miao and Qi Chi, overtly and secretly, and the complex and rich emotions on her face changed several times, lest others would not know that she was an actress.

The hot pot was steaming and making a "gurgling" sound. Jiang Miao couldn't stand Sun Miao's complex expression that looked disappointed but also mixed with a little excitement, and hurriedly asked her to cook something.

"By the way, Miao Miao, there is something I want to ask you." Jiang Miao added some meat to Sun Miao's plate with his serving chopsticks.

Sun Miao picked up the meat, then quietly raised his eyes to look at Xia Qichi, and said: "En En, brother Xiao, tell me."

"Do you know the birthdays of the first two actors who played Shuang'er?"

Sun Miao blinked: "I know, there is a group in our regiment, and red envelopes will be distributed in the group on everyone's birthday."

"I mean, the exact time of birth."

Sun Miao shook her head: "I don't know about that."

Jiang Miao nodded and smiled: "That's right, usually birthdays are only recorded with the year, month, and day."

"Wait!" Sun Miao seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and turned on the phone, "I remember I helped them read the astrolabe!"

She opened a constellation app while talking, and scrolled down the information: "Yes, yes! Huh? I didn't notice it before." Sun Miao raised her head and said in surprise, "It's actually after four o'clock in the morning. born!"

Jiang Miao paused when he picked up vegetables, and looked up at Qichi, who gave him a slight nod.

"Miao Miao, are the actors for the Frost Flower Calamity chosen by your Teacher Liu?"

"Well, from the script to the selection of actors, Mr. Liu is personally catching." Mentioning this Mr. Liu, Sun Miao once again showed a look of admiration, "I don't know that I played Shuang'er for the first time today. , will the teacher come?"

As soon as the voice finished speaking, Sun Miao's cell phone vibrated suddenly, she looked at the caller ID and hurriedly got up: "Brother Xiao, I'll answer the call first."

Jiang Xiao waved his hand, and Sun Miao quickly left his seat to answer the phone.

Vaguely, Jiang Miao seemed to have heard her excitedly saying something like the two of them are absolutely, can't be wrong, I am willing to be an aunt, and so on.

After Sun Miao left the door, Jiang Miao turned around and looked at Qichi again.

"Brother Hua, what do you think?"

"It's about the same as you." Qichi arranged the useless bowls and chopsticks in front of him neatly, and said slowly, "Someone is looking for a substitute for the female ghost, and there is something wrong with Teacher Liu."

"What I can't figure out is why accidents happen to those who are suitable to serve as female ghost substitutes. It is said that as long as she targets one, it will be over? And those injured girls either dig their faces with their nails or get smashed by glass. I feel like the female ghost doesn't care about her future body at all." Jiang Miao, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, bit the cigarette holder inexplicably and asked, "Do you think the female ghost is not satisfied with those bodies? ah?"

"It's not easy to find a substitute. The female ghost won't be so picky. Besides, she has to worry about you."

Jiang Miao nodded: "That's true."

"Actually, there is another possibility." Xi Chi paused, and said in a deep voice, "The female ghost and the person who wants to help her find a substitute are actually not united. The female ghost's motive is not to find a substitute."

"It's unreasonable. That person ordered Xu Lixiang to prevent the female ghost from being discovered, so why not unite?" Jiang Miao's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Qichi and said, "You mean, use Maybe Xu Lixiang is not the same person who cooperates with the female ghost to hurt people and the person who helps the female ghost find a substitute?"

Qi Chi curled his lips and slowly took a sip from his teacup, with a relaxed expression of staying out of the way.

"It's not impossible, is it?"

Jiang Miao thought about it, took the last sip of Coke, and stood up: "I have to go to the opera troupe with Sun Miao in the afternoon to see if I can find anything else. Besides, I'm also worried that something will happen to her."

He looked at Qi Chi: "Why don't you go home and rest first, isn't there a dinner tonight?"

Xichi was silent, and after a while, he said softly: "Okay."

……

In the afternoon, the wind and snow became smaller and smaller.After the three of them came out of the hot pot restaurant, they parted ways.

Seeing Jiang Miao and Sun Miao's backs drifting away, Qi Chi frowned slightly.He actually wanted to go with him, but Jiang Miao told him to go back first, so he had no reason to follow.

Just now when Jiang Miao said that he was worried about that girl, Qi Chi felt like he was holding back a smoldering fire.Even if you know that the other party is out of a sense of responsibility, you will still feel uncomfortable.

Why?Xichi's eyes darkened.
