under the tower

He searched blindly on the street, and the passers-by were all unfamiliar faces, and there was no one he was looking for.

Ji Xi lingered back to her residence, Building No. 33. In the night, there was a huge bar on the ground floor of the building. Blue and purple lights shone from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Exciting electronic sounds, men and women in bars with revealing underwear are reveling, toasting, and the sound of bar collisions—their night has just begun.

Ji Xi walked over without any surprise, and pressed the elevator.

After entering the Central Eighth District, the richness of nightlife has gone up to a new level. The supporting facilities of their apartment building are very comprehensive, ranging from billiard rooms, dance halls, open-air swimming pools to gymnasiums.

But I have to say that this is only the first day, and Ji Xi has already begun to miss the days when he and Yan Yi were in the sick wood area.

At that time there were only one or two people, Ji Xi and Yan, in a small house, and neither of them were noisy people. It was often quiet at night, but the atmosphere was very harmonious.And here, as long as he is willing, he can always find countless fresh and beautiful bodies who are willing to entertain with him and spend the whole long night. But there is only a great, inescapable loneliness.

It was as if he was just an independent planet in this cold and dark universe, unable to connect with anyone, unable to connect with the whole world.

That terrible feeling erodes the whole body in an instant, and all the blood in Ji Xi's body is cold, trembling and lack of oxygen.

who... who can come...

help me.

Just then, he heard footsteps behind him, and then the footsteps stopped, far away from him.

Ji Xi felt somehow, maybe it was a strange premonition, he just felt—that person came to save him.

His only driftwood.

The moment Ji Xi turned his head, Yan who was behind him turned around and left.

"Yan Yi!" Ji Xi chased after him and shouted, "Don't go!"

Yan Yi's footsteps stopped briefly, and he said coldly: "Don't shout."

Ji Xi took a breath, clenched his hands into fists unconsciously, and forced himself to be calm: "Okay, stop, I won't shout."

With a sullen face, Yan Yi kept a distance of one meter away from him, and his tone seemed to be dealing with a stranger who made him impatient: "Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?"

Ji Xi choked, her face turned pale, completely at a loss.

He was sure that Yan Yi must be angry.

But why is he angry?Are you angry at yourself for hiding from his army?

But didn't Yan Yi himself deceive him and sneak over here?

If he hadn't joined the army and hadn't bumped into Yan Yi by chance, how long would he have to wait at home alone before he came back?

With a "ding", the elevator came.

Ji Xi stood still, Yan Yi ignored him and walked in by himself, Ji Xi followed immediately.

The hands of the two people reached out to the position of the number "8" at the same time, and within one-tenth of a millisecond, their fingertips touched together, and then the two retracted their hands at the same time.

Yan said expressionlessly: "Please first."

With a pale face, Ji Xi pressed the button without saying a word.

The air seemed to freeze stiffly.

Fortunately, soon—perhaps in just a few seconds, Ji Xi unilaterally felt as if a century had passed, and the elevator door opened.

Ji Xi and Yan Yi walked out one by one, Ji Xi watched Yan Yi walk to the door of the room with the number 8018 written on it, the door opened automatically, and then, Yan didn't look back, and didn't say hello to him Under the circumstances of the meaning, he walked in without hesitation, and then closed the door tightly with a "bang", leaving no gap.

Ji Xi froze on the spot, feeling that someone had punched her heart hard. Obviously nothing happened, but she had a strong illusion that her breathing was so difficult that she couldn't breathe.

Why... all of a sudden?

Ji Xi froze in place for a long time, and finally went back to her room dejectedly step by step.

The closed door has never been opened again, as if that person has never appeared in front of him.

Taking a last look, Ji Xi's hands were trembling. He lost his composure completely. With an uncontrollable force, he slammed the door shut with a "bang". The door was closed too hard, and immediately there was a loud sound that shook the corridor. bang.

Ji Xi closed the door, gasping for breath, fresh oxygen kept flushing his lungs, but it seemed that drinking poison to quench his thirst was not enough, the uncomfortable atmosphere almost made him suffocate.

He leaned his back against the door, sat down exhausted, hugged his knees, and curled himself into a ball, like an abandoned baby just after being born from the mother's womb.

Ji Xi maintained this posture, and sat until late at night in the confusion of his brain and the sluggish feeling of not knowing what to do.

The smart control panel facing him in the room suddenly lit up.

Ji Xi raised his head from the bend of his legs, let his eyes adapt to the light, and regained his consciousness. He slowly stood up and walked towards the control panel, as if he had finally calmed down completely.

Ji Xi lowered his eyes and clicked twice on the panel, and found that he had received a new message.

It is now 1:08 in the morning, and Wang Cheng sent him a detailed document about the content of the assessment and action requirements, signed by Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda, who he promised to give to Ji Xi during the day, Ji Xi was slow Suddenly thinking about it, I had completely forgotten about it.

At [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, the two of them got to the training ground to watch the training, but they still stayed up all night to finish this extra document that was created out of thin air. I have to say that it was really hard work.

Ji Xi put away the documents, simply took a shower, and paralyzed herself on the bed.

At this point, Ji Xi was also very tired, his body felt a strong sense of exhaustion, but his consciousness seemed to be forcibly suspended, unable to rest in peace.

He tossed and turned on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep. The dead of night magnified the anxiety in his heart. Ji Xi sat up irritably, scratched his hair, and mercilessly pulled the roots of his hair until it hurt.

He thought desperately, since he couldn't fall asleep, he might as well not sleep.

So he got up from the bed again, lit the lamp on the table, opened the document sent by Wang Cheng, and the intelligent control system automatically projected the text on the desktop in front of him for him to browse.

Ji Xi flipped through a few pages, and it was obvious that Wang Cheng and the others were quite attentive, marking every point that Ji Xi might not understand in great detail.

But Ji Xi's head was in a mess, and he couldn't read it after a few pages.

He was terribly annoyed, his thoughts were wandering uncontrollably, but he couldn't concentrate on one point at all.

Damn it...it's that guy...

He stared fiercely at the desktop covered with words, the dark words covered the entire retina, but Yan Yi's face that was as cold as ice when they met again appeared in front of his eyes.

Ji Xi patted the table and stood up abruptly.

He opened the door directly without thinking, and rushed out in his pajamas to the door of Room 8018.

There is a doorbell at the door of each room, and Ji Xi rings the doorbell.

—You better make it clear.

he thought silently.

After a few seconds, the door was still closed and there was no movement.

Ji Xi pressed it again, and then pressed that poor bell continuously up and down.

——Wake me up even if I'm asleep, I haven't slept yet, why can you sleep.

After a while, the door suddenly opened, and the strong wind hit Ji Xi's face, making him squint his eyes subconsciously.

Inside the door, the room was pitch black, Yan Yi was wearing simple black cotton long-sleeved trousers, his complexion was extremely gloomy, apparently just woken up from his sleep by Ji Xi, his expression was extremely gloomy.

He asked in an almost annoyed voice: "It's the middle of the night, why are you crazy?"

With a stern face, Ji Xi turned sideways to walk into Yan Yi's room, but Yan Yi insisted on blocking the door.

Ji Xi took a deep breath and tried to calm her voice: "Can I go in? Can we talk?"

"I can't." Yan Yi directly refused directly, and he said two short words, "Go back."

"Why are you so unreasonable?" Ji Xi looked at him unreasonably, Yan Yi used to dote on him in the past, and everything he said was nice, he couldn't hear Yan Yi rejecting him in such a cold tone now.

"I admit that I came here without telling you, so what? Are you angry because of this?" The fear of being late turned into annoyance, blood surged up, Ji Xi raised his voice angrily, and asked plausibly, "Then you don't Did you come in without telling me? You lied to me to go out on a mission and I haven't settled with you yet. What do you mean now? Don't tell me you are doing it for my own good!"

"I'm too lazy to quarrel with you." Yan Yi's face was livid, "You have to have a limit when you make trouble without reason!"

"I'm making trouble for no reason?" Ji Xi almost roared, his sharp voice was heard in the entire unmanned corridor, and there was an imperceptible slight tremor in his voice, because of being too excited, Ji Xi's eyes were red, "... I don't even know what you're thinking! It's simply inexplicable!"

Yan was woken up by him in the middle of the night, and he was already in a bad mood. His expression looked terribly frightening, like a ferocious beast that was completely enraged. Torn to shreds.

He sternly said, "Go back!"

As he said he pushed the door vigorously, Ji Xi was standing at the opening when the crack of the door opened, Yan Yi's force was too great, before Ji Xi had time to struggle, he was squeezed out abruptly!

The door slammed shut with a muffled sound.

Ji Xi stood at the door, her eyes were red, and her hands were shaking with anger.

Fortunately, the sound insulation effect of the apartment room is very good, even if there is such a big movement, no one heard the sound and came out to watch.

Otherwise, he could only dig a hole in place and get in.

At Ji Xi's age, no one has ever dared to show him such a face. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He didn't understand what was wrong with what he did. It was worth Yan Yi's fury.

What's the big deal?Is it necessary!

If you don't talk, don't talk, who cares?What is fierce...

Ji Xi thought angrily, then pull it down.

He rushed back to his room angrily, thinking that if he looked for him again, he would be really sick.

He clenched his hands into fists and hammered on the bed several times as if venting his anger, but he didn't think it was enough, he kicked and kicked at the foot of the bed, doing everything he could, the emotions in his heart were like balloons that were inflated to the extreme, Sore and painful, with grievance and melancholy mixed with raging anger, it felt like my chest was about to explode, it was very uncomfortable.
