under the sea

Huazhi soaked in the bathtub, and instantly changed back to human form. He lowered his head, looked at the clean white porcelain bathtub under him, frowned and pondered, "What is this?"

"The bathtub for bathing." After He Zexi finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to get sea salt and shake it in.

bath……

Hua Zhi savored these two words carefully in her heart, and then her face darkened.He raised his head abruptly, propped himself up and asked He Zexi, "You think I'm dirty?"

He is the majestic overlord of the sea, and he doesn't need to take a bath at all!

Huazhi approached He Zexi with a beautiful face, suppressing her unhappiness, and said in a low voice, "I'm clean!"

He felt that he was disgusted and insulted by He Zexi.

"..." He Zexi glanced at the arrogant and angry flowering branches like crazy, then lowered his eyelids and continued to sprinkle salt, "There is a lot of space here, I will buy a bigger water tank for you some other day place."

Hua Zhi calmed down: "...Oh."

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

He Zexi thought it was funny, but out of concern for Huazhi's face, he held back and didn't show it, but the hand holding the salt bag was trembling a little, and accidentally sprinkled a lot of it in, He Zexi hurriedly put away the salt bag, looked up Asked the flower branch who was staying in the bathtub and forcibly pretending to be Kubanzun, "Is it salty?"

"...not salty." Huazhi hugged her chest again and leaned back into the bathtub, and began to ask sullenly, "You pour some more."

He Zexi couldn't hold back in the end, and nodded while shaking his shoulders and smiling, "Okay."

"Jinglingling~~~~~"

The landline outside suddenly rang, and He Zexi felt a little strange.

His social circle has always been very small, very few people know his home phone number, and he has no other close friends except his work colleagues.When he came back, the professor had told others not to bother him for the time being, who is calling him now?

"Wait for me." He Zexi put down the salt bag in his hand, then got up and walked towards the living room.

The caller ID was an unfamiliar number, and He Zexi hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone.

"Hey?"

After answering the phone, no one spoke on the other end of the phone. He Zexi couldn't help but feel a little strange. Looking at the string of unfamiliar numbers on the caller ID, he repeated, "Hello, how are you? May I ask who are you?"

"Hiss, hiss... click, click..."

There was the sound of electricity coming from the other end of the phone, but still no one spoke. He Zexi felt a little baffled. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, a woman's voice suppressed panic came from the other end of the phone, "Help me... …help me……"

Her voice was very thin, low, and weak, her breathing was rapid, as if she was afraid of being discovered by someone, "Help me, please save me..."

He Zexi was slightly taken aback, and the first reaction in his mind was a new type of fraud.Just about to hang up the phone, suddenly there was a strange sound from the other end of the phone, the woman's voice for help stopped abruptly, and then the disconnection sound of "beep..." appeared in He Zexi's phone .

Holding the receiver in his hand, He Zexi felt a chill run down his spine.

what happened?

Is the woman on the other end of the phone begging him for help?

Who is she, what happened to her, and why did you let yourself save her?

He Zexi was stunned for a while, and immediately hung up the phone in his hand after realizing it. Whether it was a new type of fraud or not, He Zexi chose to call the police first.

The call was quickly connected, and He Zexi told the police everything about what happened just now, took a piece of paper and wrote down the number of the strange call just now, then hurriedly went to the drawer in his room, took his ID card and wallet, and changed into clean clothes. After getting dressed, he hurried to the police station.

"Huazhi, I'll go out for a while, don't run around at home!"

He Zexi went out, took a taxi, and drove all the way to the gate of the police station. After paying the driver, he walked in.

After filing a case, verifying information, and giving a dictation, it was already half an hour after everything was done.

Across the long table, several policemen carefully looked at the completed form for a while, and then one of the handsome young policemen asked He Zexi calmly, "Do you remember the phone number for help?"

They have seen too many cases, and there are very few things that can make waves for them.

"I've made a note," He Zexi nodded, took out the note with the phone number of the strange woman from his pocket, and handed it to the police.

"Okay, I have filed a record here, you can go home and wait for the news, now we need to verify the caller's information and location."

After the policeman finished speaking, he took the phone number in his hand and left.

After calling the police, although he was still a little anxious, He Zexi was still relieved.

He Zexi's home is on the fifteenth floor, a relatively high floor.

It was already 07:30 in the afternoon when we got home from the police station. The old man guarding the gate at the elevator started to eat dinner. Through the window, he could see a box of bean soup on the table. He was wearing blue and black work clothes at this time. The old man was holding a spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other, and the aroma of bean soup and rice filled the corridor.

Carrying a bag of fresh food, He Zexi pressed the elevator on the fifteenth floor in the fragrant air.

He was also worried about the addition of a non-human creature in the house, so he stopped by the seafood supermarket on the way back.

"Ding!" The elevator reached the fifteenth floor, the elevator door opened, and He Zexi heard a commotion outside.

After stepping out of the elevator, He Zexi saw a group of people standing outside his house, chatting about something...

what happened?He Zexi's heart was beating wildly, and his first reaction was that Huazhi was discovered by them.

He hurried to the door of the house, rushed into the crowd, and asked, "What's wrong?"

A muscular man standing at the door looked He Zexi up and down for a while, and asked, "Are you the owner of this house?"

"Yes," He Zexi looked at the men, women and children in front of him, calmed down, and responded, "May I ask what you want?"

There were seven people at the door, some old and some young, standing very clearly, they looked like two families.The expression on his face was angry and angry, but there was no sign of fear or panic, as if he had found a flower branch, He Zexi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Hearing He Zexi's words, the elderly woman holding a child standing behind the muscular man said, "What's the matter? Your house is leaking, and it's flowing down from our ceiling. We can't live there anymore!"

"My house too!" another family member chimed in angrily, "my bed is still wet now, young man, how can you solve this problem!"

water leakage?

"If you don't believe me, open the door and see for yourself."

He Zexi glanced at his door, feeling a little headache.Of course he believed it, but he couldn't open it in front of them, the flower branch was still inside, and he didn't know what he was doing.

He Zexi thought for a while, and smiled apologetically at the downstairs neighbor who was standing at the door waiting for him to open the door for inspection, and said sincerely: "I'm really sorry, I remembered, it seems that I forgot to close the kitchen when I went out I’m sorry for you guys, I’ll pay as much as I need, you guys go back first, wait for me to come to the door to apologize at night. I’m sorry, I’m really sorry..."

"Really, it doesn't matter how much you pay, we have caused so much trouble..." The old woman who was holding the child muttered dissatisfiedly, but her face softened a little.

"We are not unreasonable people, young people. After all, we are neighbors who live in the same building. You should go back and turn off the tap. Be careful in the future."

"Okay, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

"..."

After talking for a long time, and finally sent the two families down, He Zexi finally breathed a sigh of relief.However, while talking for a while, He Zexi lowered his head and found that the door began to overflow with water...

You know, his room is five centimeters lower than the corridor, which means that at least five centimeters of water has accumulated in the house!

He Zexi's head hurt even more, no wonder it seeped downstairs...

He Zexi took out the key and opened the door.

Entering the house, you can see the vast ocean...a few slippers are floating on the "sea" at the entrance.

Looking up, He Zexi saw Huazhi sitting on the sofa like a big brother.

In front of him, an idol drama was playing on the LCD TV. It was a movie called "Murphy's Law" starring popular popular actors Lin Feiran and Lin Mochen.Next to the sofa, there is a remote control that has been broken into two halves, exposing the colorful parts inside, which looks extremely miserable.

He Zexi took a deep breath, then walked to the front of the LCD TV and unplugged the power cord.

Huazhi was taken aback, what is He Zexi doing, he managed to get this damn thing away...

He Zexi stepped on the water and turned around and walked to the front of the sofa, looked at Hua Zhi blankly, and then stretched out his hand towards him—a princess hug, hugging Hua Zhi.

It's a bit heavy, but still manageable.

He Zexi kicked open the bathroom door with a look of terror in his eyes, and threw the flower branches in his arms back into the bathtub filled with water.

Without mercy, the flower branch fell into the bathtub, causing a violent splash.

The hair tip in front of his forehead started to drip water, Huazhi looked at the water drops running down his face, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened for a second.He looked up at He Zexi, suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, "He Zexi, what are you doing!"

"Put you in confinement." He Zexi glanced at him faintly, then left the bathroom, locked the door, and began to clean up the mess outside.

I thought that putting the flower branches at home would perfectly avoid troubles, but I didn't expect that there would be troubles.

He Zexi picked up the miscellaneous things floating in the room, then opened the leak hole on the balcony, and while sweeping the water, he secretly rejoiced that the neighbor downstairs didn't let the property owner open the door to see what was going on inside, otherwise he would It's time for something big to happen.

Moved the sofa, cleaned under the sofa, and threw the broken remote control in the living room into the trash can.He Zexi was about to turn around, when suddenly his foot tripped over something, and he fell down in an instant.

It's over.

The pain he imagined from hitting the floor with the back of his head didn't come, but hit something soft instead.

He Zexi was stunned for a while, and then saw someone leaning over and zooming in on his face.

Huazhi withdrew her tentacles, supported the wooden floor with little water in her hands, stared at the black-haired young man lying motionless under her, and sneered, "Stop me in confinement?"

He Zexi turned his head, looked behind him over the flower branches, and sure enough...

Huazhi tore down the bathroom door! ! ! !
