Chapter 18 Strange Shadow

Yi Ange jumped off the horizontal bar, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and walked to the side to drink water.

The temperature in the room was slightly higher, and beads of sweat slowly flowed down his raised neck, drawing a beautiful arc, and finally flowed into the clothes along the collar.Yi Ange's body is not considered strong, but it still has a few muscles, hidden in the thin sweat-soaked sportswear, and the lines of the muscles are faintly visible under the orange light.

He drank most of the bottle of water, and then let out a long breath with a "ha", which seemed to release all the suppressed emotions in his heart.

Then he turned to the side, looking at the man who had been sitting there silently since just now.

"Are you free today?" He took another bottle of water, handed it to Jing Rong, and asked casually.

Jing Rong took the water, put it aside, and said, "It's okay."

Yi Ange sat down beside him.The hot air that just finished exercising surrounded the two of them, Jing Rong stepped aside and raised his hand to turn on the air conditioner.

Yi Ange looked at him happily.Judging from Jing Rong's unchanging expression for thousands of years, it is not clear whether it is dislike or not, but since this person did not leave, it shows that he does not hate his presence.Maybe it's because we've been together for a long time, and without the feeling of unfamiliarity before, Yi Ange likes to tease him from time to time, trying to make Jing Rong show some different expressions.

It's not that Si Jingrong can't see his cautiousness, but Jingrong doesn't say anything out of habit.I also don't feel the need to say it.

This underground gym is owned by Jing Rong's family.It was hardly used, and the equipment was dusty. It was Yi Ange who discovered it by accident and tidied it up again.

In the spring, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and it will soon be the season when you will be sweating profusely when you move.Yi Ange dislikes being bored the most. He would rather sweat all over than stare blankly in an air-conditioned room.He is a restless person, as long as no one stops him, he can come up with many tricks for himself.

After resting for a while, the two went back upstairs.Yi Ange went to the room to get some clothes and was about to take a shower.

Jing Rong sat in front of the sofa and watched TV.This has never happened before, Yi Ange passed the living room when going to the bathroom, looked at the back of the person not far away, and showed a smile that can be said to be gratifying.

After doing the math, he has been staying at Jing Rong's house for almost a month.

Jing Rong's house hasn't changed much, it's still empty and there are few items.Jing Rong has no interest in life from head to toe, and his house is just a house. He comes back to sleep occasionally and spends more time in the base.Only during the time when Yi Ange lived here did he come back to visit often, but he developed the habit of going home and sleeping every day.

Jing Rong is a workaholic through and through, and Yi Ange doesn't know what he is busy with all day and night, and they are probably jobs that an ordinary person like him can't imagine.Occasionally, when going home at night, Yi Ange noticed that Jing Rong's eyes were wrong, as if he was angry.He can only guess Jing Rong's mood through this little change. If there are too many, he can't ask, and he is not qualified to ask. He can only try his best to be a good roommate who is not noisy, and give Jing Rong a little space to be alone.But Jing Rong restrained herself very well every time, and when she got up the next day, she had already returned to her usual state.

Compared to the beginning, Yi Ange felt that Jing Rong had become more "popular" and was not as difficult to get along with as before.This is a good thing, so when Jing Rong tried his best not to bring the emotions aroused elsewhere to him, Yi Ange felt that this person was good and a reliable friend.

It's been a month since Bao Cun's incident, and Yi Ange has never heard of any more human-faced spiders hurting others.He made an appointment with Jing Rong that if something happened again, Jing Rong would not hide it from him, and Jing Rong agreed.A real man keeps his promises, and Jing Rong also said that he would not lie to him.

In fact, recently, Yi Ange has been thinking about what Jing Rong said.

"I will not lie to you."

At that time, he and Jing Rong were not yet able to share weal and woe, so when I said this, I always felt that the relationship between the two of them was unusual.It's not a close relationship, and it should be good brothers who trust each other, but they are neither.Then there should be a deeper meaning behind this sentence.At that time Yi Ange was lying on the hospital bed, Jing Rong shouldn't be coaxing him.Jing Rong is not that kind of person.

Yi Ange took a cold shower and saw Jing Rong coming out of the living room.Yi Ange was only wearing a pair of underpants, her hair was wet and still dripping water.Jing Rong glanced at him and said, "I'm going to the base."

"Yeah." Yi Ange responded casually, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What's for dinner?"

He cooks during the borrowed time, and Jing Rong comes back to eat once in a while, which can be regarded as a compliment.

Normally, Jing Rong would directly refuse if he didn't come back for dinner.But today he thought about it and said, "You can do whatever you want."

"Okay." Yi Ange smiled at him, and really started to think about it.

Jing Rong nodded, opened the door and went out.

With the sound of closing the door, Yi Ange threw himself onto the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, having a roommate like Jing Rong is very nice, and life here is much better than him staying in the store every day.But Yi Ange was always afraid that he would be lazy, and instead forget what he should do most.He couldn't forget that he lived here for some reason, and Jing Rong didn't let him leave, which meant that Jing Rong thought he was still in danger, which made Yi Ange completely unable to live with peace of mind.

Without Bao Cun's entrustment, he should be chatting with Yueqing in the store now.But in fact, even when he goes out to buy things, he has to report the location in advance. Jing Rong installed a tracker on his phone, which automatically sends location information every 3 minutes. If he does not move for three consecutive times, Bai Ziming will transfer directly. Come and see if something happened to him.

The battle was too big, and Yi Ange was not used to it at first, but now he has almost accepted it.

It doesn't cost much to buy things, but Singer Yi'an doesn't have a lot of money in the first place. In the past month, he also bought some not-so-expensive daily necessities for Jing Rong's family, and he has almost used up his cash.So before entering the shopping mall, he went to the bank across the street to withdraw money, and unsurprisingly received a call from Jing Rong while queuing.

"Where are you?"

Listening to the non-emotional question on the other side, Yi Ange laughed, "Bank, I want to withdraw money."

"...The route of positioning is different from what you usually take."

"I'm going to cross the road. It's not far."

Jing Rong stopped talking, the phone was silent for a while, and Yi Ange suddenly asked, "Are you worried about me?"

"..." Jing Rong paused, and his voice was rarely tinged with embarrassment, "Go home early."

Then he unilaterally hung up the phone.

Yi Ange couldn't stop laughing while listening to the blind tone on the phone.No matter how old he is, Jing Rong's way of caring for people is still at the level of a child's awkwardness, which is a bit cute.

Probably no one would say that Jing Rong's tall and indifferent appearance is cute, Yi Ange felt that he should be the only one in this world.

Of course, he was only thinking about it, and he would never say it in front of Jing Rong.

After walking around until after four o'clock in the afternoon, Yi Ange started to walk back, counting the time when Jing Rong would come back.It was almost dark when we got to the door.Although it is spring, the sun is still very short, and the sun has already set at five or six o'clock.

The area around Jing Rong's house was very quiet.Yi Ange likes this kind of quietness, which allows him to calm down and do things.

When he walked to the door, Yi Ange glanced up.Both his and Jing Rong's bedrooms are on the second floor, and the windows face the side, so you can see the windows by walking a little to the side from the door.Generally, Yi Ange also has this habit when he is at his own home, so check before entering the door.

He glanced at it briefly and was about to go back, but suddenly stopped.When I looked up again, I found a strange shadow reflected on the curtain drawn in one of the windows.

The shadow was small, with a strange shape, like some kind of animal.It stayed there motionless, and Yi Ange couldn't tell where it was in the house.After counting, this window was exactly the one in his bedroom.

The thing didn't move, like a dead thing.Yi Ange remembered that he had checked the lights in the house before going out, and it should be off, and he didn't know how the shadow was reflected on it. No matter how he looked at it, this thing was not normal.

Yi Ange stood downstairs, looking up. About twelve or thirty minutes later, the light in the room flickered and the shadow disappeared.

Immediately following the change is a long-lost sense of tension.Yi Ange dropped the shopping bag in his hand and rushed towards the house.

After running two steps, he was suddenly grabbed by someone from behind.When Yi Ange turned his head, he met Jing Rong's searching gaze.

"What's wrong?" Jing Rong picked up the shopping bag and asked him.

Yi Ange pointed to the window on the second floor above his head, not knowing how to describe it to him.

Jing Rong looked into Yi Ange's eyes, and after a while, his expression gradually became serious.

"Follow me."

He stopped Yi Ange behind him, stretched his index finger across the keyhole of the door, and the door lock clicked and popped open automatically.

The room was pitch black, with only a little light peeking through the crack of the door in the bedroom on the second floor.

Jing Rong put the things in his hands aside lightly, and walked over slowly.Yi Ange followed behind him, feeling that the surrounding air was moving fast, but it didn't pick up the wind. Instead, it flowed quickly and seemed to be alive, passing by them and rushing to the second floor.

It took a while for the feeling to stop.Jing Rong turned on the lights on the first floor, frowned and looked towards the second floor, with a little puzzlement in his eyes.

Yi Ange understood what his expression meant, and rushed up to the second floor in three steps at a time, and opened the door of his room, only to find that the room was no different from when he left, except that the lights were still on, like a bedroom. It was innocently bright as if the owner forgot to close it.

"No?" Yi Ange whispered in disbelief.

He looked at the decorations on the bedside table.This is one of the few decorations in Jingrong's home. It is a mountain tiger, which is out of tune with the atmosphere of the home.Maybe the shadow of this thing just happened to be cast on the curtains just now. He misread it and remembered it wrongly. He actually didn't turn off the light before going out.

Jing Rong searched his room for a long time, unable to let go, but found nothing.This is different from the feeling when investigating the case before. If there is nothing, there is nothing. No matter how hard the investigation is, it will be futile.

Finally, Yi Ange sighed softly, and said to Jing Rong, "Forget it, maybe I was wrong."

"You sleep at my place tonight." The two left the bedroom, and Jing Rong locked the door, "Or come back to the base with me."

Yi Ange thought for a while and said, "Just stay here, it should be fine."

Jing Rong didn't say anything else, just led him into his room, pointed to the bed and said to him, "You sleep here."

"What about you?"

Jing Rong took out a new set of bedding from the closet, put it on the bed, and said, "I sleep here too."
