==================================================== ==========
Xiao Xia made some mental preparations outside the Yeguiren Bar before going in. Wanli couldn't come due to something, so she had no one to rely on, so she could only bite the bullet and go on her own.
She expected that Ruan Zhan should be working with his face inward, but as soon as she pushed the door, Ruan Zhan just turned his head, and their eyes suddenly met.
"Hi, long time no see." She greeted hurriedly, feeling a little hot and embarrassed.
"It seems that you are very busy at the end of the year, and you almost forgot how I got here?" Ruan Zhan smiled softly, acting very naturally, completely treating a good friend with the same attitude as before.
Xiaoxia scolded herself for being useless, and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Liu Tie and Ni Yang came to greet her affectionately and saved her life, otherwise she would have died there stupidly.
It seems that Ruan Zhan didn't remember what happened that day, as if it never happened. It was she who kept this matter in her heart and was awkward for a long time, but in fact, there would be no change at all. As for men, women who are not interested in themselves will not pay special attention. It's okay, it's okay, otherwise I really don't know how to face him!
Thinking this way, Xiao Xia glanced at Ruan Zhan a few times, seeing that he was calm and gentle to her, close but not too close, distant but not too far away, and felt a little more relaxed. He secretly scolded himself for being overwhelmed, worrying for so long in vain!
She talked with Liu Tie and Ni Yang, and also exchanged a few words with the visitors she used to be familiar with. Gradually, she finally became natural.
Ruan Zhan, who was watching him secretly, felt relieved when he saw her slowly relaxing expression.
He knew that Xiao Xia was an extremely shy woman emotionally, and if she could ask him such a question on Christmas Eve, it might be regarded as a confession to her, but he couldn't accept it for some reason.
It's not that he doesn't like her, in fact she has such a special meaning to him, she fills his world, melts the ice in his heart, and brightens his gloomy life.
When she didn't show up for two months because of embarrassment, his longing for her cracked his heart, and he felt the cold wind blowing in, and the last trace of warmth disappeared.
When he heard that Liu Tie and Ni Yang were teasing Xiaoxia and insisted on letting her come to the store, he was restless all day long, and in order to avoid her feeling uncomfortable, he had to act calm and calm.
However, when she appeared in front of him, his heart was beating like a drum, and he had to use all his strength to make her think that he didn't remember that incident at all.
It's not just as simple as liking it!
He thought, he loves her, but unfortunately he can't afford her. Therefore, I still pretend that I don't know anything, so that it will not hurt her and it will be more natural to get along with her. At least in this way, he can stay by her side, be her friend, and protect her. This is the only thing he can do for her.
"I'm going on a business trip to City A for a month." Xiao Xia saw that the number of customers in the bar was gradually increasing, so she stopped chatting with the two big boys and let them go to work, but walked to the bar to say goodbye to Ruan Zhan .
Ruan Zhan was cutting something and almost cut his hand.
"Leave tomorrow morning." Xiao Xia continued, glanced at Ruan Zhan's hand, and she was relieved that there was no bleeding.
"I'll see you off." Ruan Zhan said, feeling reluctance for a while. This way I won't see her for another month.
"No need, Wanli will deliver it. Anyway, he's closer to my place." Xiaoxia stretched out her hand, "I'm going back to pack my things now. You know, it's very troublesome for a woman to go out. Let me say goodbye to you in advance."
Ruan Zhan hesitated for a moment, but didn't say goodbye, but held Xiao Xia's little hand, "Don't say goodbye, come with me."
He dragged her upstairs, making Xiaoxia very confused, but she liked the feeling of his big hand holding hers tightly, and followed behind without saying a word.
In Ruan Zhan's room, he took out a few spells from the drawer in the book, "This is for you, of course it's worthless, but Wan Li always says I'm a magic stick, so I'll give you some spells." A gift from a stick. I think you must find a house to live in when you go out of town."
"It is said that the company will arrange a place for me."
"This is very good. But a new place always has a different aura from the newcomers. Your aura is weak, and it will be useful to put this on."
In order to deal with the threat from the undead for many years, he has been practicing recently, and he is also trying to release his sealed ability. These spells were drawn for training recently, and they are very powerful. I hope they can keep Xiao Xia safe.
His attitude towards her now is that as long as she is not by his side, he cannot rest assured. This is probably called caring and chaos.
"Okay." Xiao Xia took the charm, glad that he cared about her, "Thank you, you can call me when you are free, Liu Tie and Ni Yang both have my phone number. Ah——I forgot you I don't like cell phones."
"It's okay, I will fight." Ruan Zhan promised.
\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026
The company sent a driver to take Xiao Xia to the residence arranged for her. She was surprised that it turned out to be a small white three-story western-style building.
She has never lived in this kind of place since she was a child, so even though she only rented a room on the third floor, she still feels fresh.
"Miss is satisfied with this room." The boss asked, "Although it is not the best room in the store, it is very quiet. Another customer booked the largest room in advance."
"This one is very good, thank you." Xiao Xia was not a picky person, and nodded to the boss with a smile.
The boss introduced himself as Lan Shan, but she heard that the neighbor who delivered the things called him Lan San.
"Is it the hotel's off-season now? There don't seem to be any customers." She asked casually, but the boss' face changed immediately, "Miss, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside, my place is very good."
The way he was eager to defend himself made Xiaoxia feel a little strange. As soon as she got off the plane, she was sent here directly, saying that she was asked to rest and go to work in the company tomorrow, so she had no time to hear gossip.
"What's wrong?" she asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just—my house is mainly for daily rent, and it's usually used to entertain campus couples."
"Oh, that's it." Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Xia thought that he didn't want to admit that this is a hotel that specially provides places for couples to meet, so she stopped asking, "Okay, thank you for the introduction, now would you please Come on. I have to pack my things first, I will live here for a month!"
"I wish Miss a pleasant stay." Lazy San replied, and then walked out of the room.
He didn't intend to tell the lady the truth. In fact, since the second murder, the place has been closed for two months. After the Chinese New Year, he was approved to reopen the business, but even though he reduced the rent again and again, no guest came to the door. After all, people who know the details would never come to this terrible place again, and those lovers would rather go far than Willing to take the risk of being chopped into pieces by an unknown perverted killer in a short while.
But just when he was almost helpless, suddenly the fortune came again. First, an international student signed a long-term lease because he liked the architectural style of this western-style building, and paid a deposit of several months in advance. Then, a company booked a room for their new staff, and paid a month rent.
Not only would it be a financial relief, he thought, but if they got out safely, the reputation of his inn would be restored.
The ancestors said it well, there are only three things. He believed that nothing would happen again.
Just when Lazy San was rejoicing that he was going to change his luck again, and Xiao Xia was busy arranging things, someone knocked on Xiao Xia's door.
Outside the door was a young man in his twenties, clean, not tall, with a pair of glasses on his face, looking gentle but giving off the feeling of Xiaoxia who was shrewd and calculating.
"I'm your neighbor. I came here specially to pay a visit. I heard that Miss will also be staying for a while. Maybe I will cause you trouble in the future!"
He nodded politely, and although he spoke fluently, his tone was a bit stiff, not like a Chinese. Coupled with his East Asian face, Xiao Xia guessed that he was either Korean or Japanese.
"I'm Japanese, my name is Okamura Kenji, and I came to China to study." He seemed to see Xiaoxia's doubts, and answered proactively.
Xiao Xia was not good at dealing with such polite situations, so she only answered a few words casually.
"Miss doesn't like Japanese?" Okamura Kenji asked sensitively.
"I don't have any particular likes and dislikes towards the Japanese." Xiaoxia didn't like his probing attitude, and replied bluntly, "But since we will be neighbors in the future, I believe we can get along well. Now I have to pack my things, Shall we have a chance to talk again?"
"Of course." Okamura Kenji still said calmly, "Excuse me, I hope I can become friends with Miss."
Xiao Xia nodded to him, and then closed the door.
Kenji Gangmura stood in the corridor for a while, muttering to himself: "What a beautiful and lovely lady, it seems that she will draw him out. Alas, it's a pity, but there is no way to do it."
But nothing happened that night, because Xiao Xia didn't live in the hotel. She has a college classmate who is from City A. She wanted to meet casually, but she never expected to be enthusiastically persuaded by her classmate to stay with her, so she ended up staying at a friend's house and whispering to her all night. I went back to the hotel the next morning, changed my clothes and went to work, and didn't come back until dinner time.
The house rented by the company included board and lodging, and the work during the day was not too heavy, which made her feel very happy. After dinner, she visited the hotel.
She first visited the five rooms on the third floor, and found that except for one for herself, one for that Japanese named Okamura Kenji, and two vacant rooms, the boss only lived in the attic, but unexpectedly gave Sister Wang, a cleaning lady and kitchen lady, opened one. Say the boss is extra generous, but he also looks stingy, say he is special to Sister Wang, and he calls her back and forth, which is really puzzling.
There was nothing to see on the second floor, which was similar to the third floor, but as soon as she reached the first floor, she felt a chill and a feeling of being spied on.
This made her tremble a bit, hugged her shoulders tightly, and looked around to see if the doors and windows on the first floor were not closed properly, only to find that everything was fine, and the wind was blowing from a passage at the far left rear of the hall.
The passage was dark, as if leading to the basement. But isn't the basement closed? Why is there wind?
Thinking of this, she unconsciously walked in that direction, and when she reached the corner, she suddenly heard a low voice inside. I can't hear exactly what it is, but I can hear the voices of a man and a woman.
"Who's in there?" She asked, suddenly felt a strong sense of fear, she couldn't help but moved back a few steps, bumped into a soft object, and at the same time, a hand patted her shoulder, a wave The smell also came with the wind.
