Lose the lights and spend another night

The sky gradually brightened, and the street lights in the city went out one by one.

Vaguely, it seems to have heard the words that Xiao Yingsheng once said.

"Huanxi, will the lanterns thank you?"

My body trembled slightly, watching the world outside the window gradually brighten up, I only felt that my heart was being lightly burned by something, painful and sour.

"Om-"

The phone rang, and I came back to my senses and took it out of my trouser pocket.

"Fangfang? What's the matter?"

"I called you several times, but you didn't answer. My sister is really worried about you. Where are you now?"

"How many calls?"

"Yes!"

I shook my head and chuckled, "I'm fine, I've been at home all the time, maybe I slept too deeply, so I didn't hear the phone ring."

"are you at home?"

"Ah."

"No, sister is still worried about you, you are waiting for me at home."

"Ah? Waiting for you?"

"Yes, obediently wait for sister!"

"Fangfang..."

Before I could finish speaking, the phone had already hung up.

I shook my head dumbfounded, and looked at the call records on my phone. Sure enough, Fangfang called me several times, but I didn't hear any of them.

Half an hour later, Fangfang rang the doorbell early.

"Xi Huan, sister is here, open the door!"

As soon as I opened the door, Fangfang rushed in. The first thing I did was to glance at my bedroom, but I found no one there, and then I glanced at the kitchen, but there was no one there.

"Fangfang, what are you looking for?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that you have a little girl here?" She suddenly looked at me treacherously, "Tell me, where did you hide her?"

I smiled wryly, "Fangfang, what is going on in your mind?"

Fangfang put the breakfast in her hand on the dining table, took a long breath of relief, and muttered, "It's okay, it's okay, my little Huanhuan was not abducted."

I was stunned for a moment, and just about to ask her what she said, Fangfang waved to me, "Come on, eat breakfast, and take my sister to work!"

"Okay, big sister, I'll listen to you." I walked over, picked up a cup of hot milk, and took a sip.When the warmth along my throat ironed my stomach all the way, this sense of reality finally made me feel a lot more at ease.

The girl who took my shirt yesterday is just a passer-by in my life, just go away.

"Fangfang, the milk is delicious, thank you!" I smiled and praised, and started to get other breakfasts. I have to say, I am really hungry.

"Of course, it's strange if the things my sister chooses are not tasty!" Fang Fang nodded triumphantly, she walked to the desk, and saw the photos scattered on it, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at me.

"I told you to put these away carefully, and spread them casually like this!"

"I'll clean up after I finish eating, don't worry! Anyway, I live here alone, and no one will know." I finished chewing the bread and glanced at the fluorescent alarm clock, "Fangfang, it's getting late, let's go Now, we should go out."

"Xi Huan, are you just eating these few bites?" Fang Fang was very dissatisfied with the untouched snacks I left on the table.

I smiled apologetically, "I will eat the rest! I promise!"

"You said so!"

"Well! Let's go! You are more and more like my mother!"

"..."

"Go, go, go."

I hooked her hand and pulled her to the door. If I don't leave, I will be late.

It's another day, and no matter how real those dreams of last night were, they were still just dreams.

I looked from a distance along the spacious road, and in the morning light, the whole city seemed to be covered with a thin layer of veil.

The green light turned into a red light, so I stopped the little eDonkey and waited for the green light.

The continuous flow of the city has already begun, and various cars pass by in front of me, one of which is a black car, and I seem to see the girl sitting in the back row yesterday.

For a moment, I was in a daze, and my eyes followed the black car as it drifted away.

"Drip!"

"Xi Huan! Xi Huan! Xi Huan! The green light is on!"

Suddenly someone else’s horns sounded behind me, and Fang Fang’s urging voice suddenly sounded. I came back to my senses, “Huh?”

"Green! Light! Up!"

Fangfang almost roared, which made my ears ache.

"I know, I know!"

I rubbed my ears, rode my little electric donkey, and galloped forward.

Fangfang suddenly leaned into my ear, "Xi Huan, I think you have a problem!"

"What's wrong with me?" I think she must be talking nonsense again, "Isn't it just a daze, a distraction."

"No, I can't tell. Anyway, I think you're weird." Fangfang's intuition told her that something seemed different about me, "You and that girl... really nothing happened?"

"God, I'm dumb..." My voice stopped abruptly, even if I say someone is dumb behind others, it's always a little disrespectful, "I'm a poor little girl, she can't seem to speak, I If you do anything to others, wouldn't it be worse than a beast?"

"Can't talk?" Fang Fang thought about it thoughtfully, "It's really pitiful, then how did you send him back?"

I shook my head, "I don't know."

"You do not know?"

"Yeah, the person disappeared as soon as I woke up. I guess I left by myself."

"Did you lose anything valuable at home?"

"Fangfang, can you stop thinking of people so badly?"

"I'm telling you, I'm not the only one who thinks this way!"

"Come on, come on, I'm the most valuable person in my family, do you think I'm missing?"

"Pfft, no less."

"That's it."

I shook my head with a wry smile, and turned into the alley where the magazine was located.

"Fangfang, you go up first, I'll stop the little electric donkey." I sent Fangfang to the door of the magazine office and pointed to the bicycle shed over there.

Fangfang nodded, "Then sister will go up first."

"Okay." I replied.

When I parked the little eDonkey and walked to the gate of the magazine, two car horns sounded suddenly behind me.

I moved out of the way, glanced behind me casually, but stood there in a daze.

This car... is the one I saw just now!

that girl...

The car pulled into the parking lot and finally stopped.

Two people got out of the car, one was a middle-aged man in a neat suit, and the other was the girl from yesterday.

As if aware of my gaze, the girl glanced at me, her brows and eyes suddenly formed two crescent moons, and she smiled very sweetly.

My heart suddenly beat wildly.

The image of Ying Sheng teasing Liu Yanran by the West Lake and chuckling suddenly appeared in his mind, and suddenly merged with the girl in the distance.

is her!Those eyebrows should be what Ying Sheng looks like growing up!

My eyes turned red in spite of myself, and I couldn't restrain myself from uttering two words, "Yingsheng..."

The girl's eyes were bright, and there seemed to be some tears. She raised her hand, clenched her fist and beat her heart lightly three times.

I remember that Xiao Yingsheng in the dream once did this.

Are those dreams really not dreams?

All of this, what's going on?

My vision was already blurred, and I hurriedly wiped away my tears, trying to calm myself down.

Why are you so happy?

Why is it so sad again?

Why are those pictures so real even though it is clearly a dream?

When I calmed down and looked over there again, the girl had followed the middle-aged man into the building of the magazine.

I took another deep breath and quickly chased after him. Some things seemed to be made clear.

"Xi Huan, hurry to the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief is waiting for you inside!"

As soon as I entered the lobby of the editorial department, my colleague gave me a wink and told me to go to the office quickly.

"Ok."

I nodded, walked quickly outside the office, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." After hearing the editor-in-chief's voice, I pushed the door open and walked in.

Fangfang? !

The first thing I saw was Fangfang with her head down. She felt like she had just been trained.

"Chief editor, what's the matter?"

My eyes fell on the girl, but I was very nervous.

The editor-in-chief stared at me with a dark face, "Ask me what's the matter? Why don't you ask what you did with Du Fangfang?"

"Boss, I did this on my own initiative, and it has nothing to do with Xi Huan." Fangfang quickly helped me out, "I took the photo, and Xi Huan didn't even know about it."

"Could it be that the money given by our chairman is not enough, and you deliberately kept a lot of money, wanting to ask for another sum?" The middle-aged man said indifferently, and gave me a squinting look.

photo?

How would they know the photo is with me?Could it be—that girl?

At this time, she didn't look at me, she just gently tugged at the middle-aged man's sleeve and shook her head.

The middle-aged man eased his hostile tone. He didn't wait for the editor-in-chief to make an apology, but opened his mouth first, "There is no need to say an apology. Today we are not here to Xingshi to ask questions."

The editor-in-chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Fang Fang also breathed a sigh of relief.

The middle-aged man continued: "The more people speculate about the tomb owner's life, the easier it is to make up some gossip to insult the ancestors, so the chairman finally decided to ask you to write a special report on the tomb owner's life." As he said, he took out a stack of materials wrapped in kraft paper from his briefcase, "This is the archaeological summary of this time." He handed it to me, "Let me explain first, the chairman wants to read before publishing, so don't make up random things." story."

"Hmm." I took it with some trepidation.

"Also, thank you for taking care of our chairman's daughter yesterday." The middle-aged man looked at the girl.

The girl looked at me tenderly, nodded and smiled at me.

"She...she is the daughter of your chairman?" I looked at the girl in disbelief.

Fangfang's jaw was about to drop to the ground, the reversal of the plot is too strong, isn't it? !

The middle-aged man finally had a smile on his face, "Yes, that's why the chairman specially explained that we must treat Miss Xi Huan to dinner today."

"This... can I not..." Before I finished speaking, I saw the girl shaking her head in disappointment.
