After Hell
Chapter 6 The Devil's Invitation
At noon, Zhang Xiaolin had just returned from buying vegetables at the vegetable market. As soon as she opened the door, she was startled by the sound of vomiting from the bathroom.That voice came from her only relative in this city, his own brother.
Zhang Xiaolin hurriedly dropped the vegetable basket and ran to the bathroom: "Brother! Brother! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Zhang Xiaoheng supported the toilet seat and knelt on the ground, his hands kept shaking, and his whole body was almost limp into a puddle of mud.He tried his best to press his overwhelmed stomach with one hand, and said weakly: "Uh... I'm fine. Maybe I'm tired from working all night." As he spoke, he took a kraft paper bag from the sink next to him and handed it to him. Zhang Xiaolin.
Zhang Xiaolin took the paper bag handed over by her brother, frowning slightly, not knowing why.But when she opened the paper bag and saw what was inside, she immediately exhaled in surprise: "What is this... so much money!? Brother, where did you get this money from?"
Zhang Xiaoheng choked for a moment, and then explained: "Uh...the bar's performance is good, and it's a quarterly award."
Hearing what his brother said, Zhang Xiaolin was puzzled by Dou Sheng.No matter how good the performance of the bar was, his brother had never gotten back so much money at once on a non-payday day before.What exactly is going on? !
Zhang Xiaolin looked at her brother who vomited out of shape without even taking off his coat, and couldn't bear to press him, so she could only say with reddened eyes, "I see you are so tired and your face is so pale. If you can't do it, just quit!"
Hearing his sister's worry, Zhang Xiaoheng quickly comforted her: "You are just fine with a serious illness. You need to spend money, brother may have caught a cold by accident last night. It's okay, I'll just lie down at home for two days and I'll be fine."
Looking at the pale face of her weak brother, Zhang Xiaolin felt very distressed.Staring carefully at Zhang Xiaoheng's profile, Zhang Xiaolin found that he had lost weight again.
She just recovered from a serious illness, and Zhang Xiaoheng became terrified of losing this precious sister, so the skin care products he bought for her were extremely expensive. No matter how hard he was outside, he never had any complain.
Zhang Xiaolin knew that her elder brother was a stubborn and strong person who buried everything in her heart.I don't know how hard it was last night, so that my brother was so tired that he vomited and fell ill.Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaolin reached out and touched Zhang Xiaoheng's forehead.Sure enough, as she expected, Zhang Xiaoheng had a fever and his forehead was hot.
"Brother, you have a fever. Go to bed and rest, I'll find you some antipyretics." After speaking, Zhang Xiaolin quickly ran to the bedroom to look through the medicine cabinet.
"Xiaolin, don't rush to find medicine for now. You can help me get two changes of clothes. I need to take a bath." After retching for a while, Zhang Xiaoheng sat on the ground and leaned against the sink to relax.Although he was dizzy with fever at this time, he had to take a bath.
"Bath? Brother, why don't you take the medicine and cover your sweat first?" Zhang Xiaolin's doubtful and worried voice came from the next door.
"No, I want to take a shower."
I have to take a shower.Wash that thing off without leaving a trace.Zhang Xiaoheng bit his lower lip, and managed to swallow the aggrieved and shame in his heart.
******************
After lying on the bed for two full days, Zhang Xiaoheng still felt sore all over his body as if he had been run over by a car.He managed to get up from the bed, reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls of the hot noodles Zhang Xiaolin made for him, and then staggered to school.
There is a big lecture by a senior professor of economics this afternoon, and he doesn't want to miss it.
Zhang Xiaoheng thought as he walked, he still had warm noodles to eat, and the noodles were cooked by his favorite person. For many people in the world who are more miserable than him, he is very lucky.So whether it is studies or a well-paid part-time job, he wants to work hard.
In the afternoon, there are not too many vehicles on the street, and pedestrians in twos and threes are not in such a rush as in rush hour.
Zhang Xiaoheng squinted his eyes and looked up at the blue sky. The dazzling sunlight emitted colorful and gorgeous rays of light.He couldn't help stretching out his palm to block his eyes.The light penetrated through the gaps between the fingers, and Zhang Xiaoheng felt that what happened the night before yesterday was like a nightmare.
Yeah... just treat it as a nightmare!When the sun comes out, the nightmare will evaporate like a fog and disappear without a trace.Zhang Xiaoheng wanted to treat it as an accident and completely forgot about it.However, thinking of the man's deep and gloomy eyes, full of emotions and anger that he couldn't understand, he felt that things might not be as simple as he thought, and maybe the man would come to him in the future.But he really didn't understand... what made him hate himself so much... so much that he didn't hesitate to possess him in a violent way.
Thinking back to the days when he worked in AfterHell in the past few months, Zhang Xiaoheng was sure that he had never seen that young face.
Maybe that man just appeared occasionally, maybe he will never meet him in the future... Maybe...
After shaking his dizzy head vigorously, Zhang Xiaoheng walked towards the comprehensive teaching building on campus.
"Xiaoheng!" A familiar male voice sounded, followed by his good friend Liu Zhaofeng who walked quickly to his side: "Xiaoheng, you don't look well?" Liu Zhaofeng looked at the pale Zhang Xiaoheng, and asked him with a worried expression .
"Well, it's just right for a cold. I'm still a little uncomfortable." Zhang Xiaoheng's hoarse voice contained exhaustion that couldn't be concealed.
"Do you still go to work at night?" Liu Zhaofeng and Zhang Xiaoheng are best friends who have known each other since junior high school. He knows the situation of Zhang Xiaoheng's family and he also knows that he has been doing night work outside.Although he looked tired in the past, he seemed to be in good spirits.This was the first time he saw Zhang Xiaoheng's face so ugly, with a kind of decadence after recovering from a serious illness, and his clear eyes were now covered with a layer of fragile confusion.Therefore, he couldn't help asking one more question.
"Go! You're all cured, why don't you go."
The stubbornness in Zhang Xiaoheng's tone made Liu Zhaofeng understand that too much persuasion is useless. Once this kid thinks about something, he won't listen to his persuasion at all.Seeing that Zhang Xiaoheng was a little depressed, Liu Zhaofeng could only sigh slightly, and changed the subject to ask him:
"Last time I mentioned to you that my school girl wants to chase after you. How do you think about it?"
"Uh...she's pretty good, but you understand the current situation in my family. Besides, I'm so busy with my studies and I have to work part-time. I can't take care of it anymore. You can help me go back to that first. "
The two talked while walking, entered the comprehensive teaching building, and walked all the way to the multi-functional teaching hall in the north. No one noticed that someone was walking quickly behind them.
The man was tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, and walked very quickly.When he came behind the two of them, he suddenly accelerated his feet and quickly passed between the two of them.Zhang Xiaoheng's shoulder was bumped by him, causing him to stagger directly by that person, and he took two steps forward to avoid falling to the ground in embarrassment.
The man seemed to have expected that Zhang Xiaoheng's footsteps would be unsteady, and when Zhang Xiaoheng rushed forward, he quickly turned around and supported his shoulders, lowered his head slightly and leaned into his ear and said, "Sorry, I bumped into you."
The word "Sorry" was spoken very naturally, but the words "I bumped into you" after that, the other party obviously lowered his voice and said in a voice that he could only hear.There was undisguised intentionality in his tone.
When Zhang Xiaoheng heard this person's voice, he instantly felt a chill rising from his feet and freezing all the way to the top of his head.This, this person actually chased him to the school?
"Yes, is it you?" Zhang Xiaoheng asked subconsciously, and he even stammered unnaturally because of palpitations.He was really stunned, he never expected to meet Qin Yijie in school.All of a sudden, nervousness, guilty conscience, disgust, panic, and all kinds of negative emotions filled Zhang Xiaoheng's heart, which made his already pale face instantly turn green.After a while, when the initial panic passed, Zhang Xiaoheng saw that Qin Yijie was carrying a schoolbag on his back, and realized that what he had just thought was a bit too much, maybe Qin Yijie was just a student here.
It's just that it's such a coincidence?Qin Yijie actually went to the same university as himself?Something flashed through Zhang Xiaoheng's mind like a meteor, but the current situation did not allow Zhang Xiaoheng to think about it.
Liu Zhaofeng wanted to speak out to teach this [-]-[-]-dollar brat who seemed to be dragging his feet, but whoever wanted to hear Zhang Xiaoheng's words meant that he knew that person, so he waited in silence.
A trace of distress flashed quickly from Qin Yijie's eyes, and then he blinked his eyes to suppress the emotion in his eyes, bent slightly and put a hand on Zhang Xiaoheng's shoulder, and leaned into his ear and exhaled warmly, with an ambiguous tone:
"Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you in hell. See you soon."
Hell is the abbreviation of AfterHell bar. At first, it was just a syllable between the boss and the waiter to save trouble, but later, probably because it feels so cool, even the regular customers began to call AfterHell directly as "Hell".
Zhang Xiaoheng was agitated by the hot breath he breathed on his ears, but then he became angry when he heard what he said. He already understood what Qin Yijie's hint meant.Qin Yijie is following him.Presumably the enjoyment last time made him very happy, so he still wants to continue the transaction between them.
Zhang Xiaoheng wanted to yell at him, but when he saw the playfulness in Qin Yijie's eyes, and the evil smile in the corner of his mouth shaking the phone in his hand, memories of shame and confusion flooded into his mind.Zhang Xiaoheng's anger was instantly shattered by him.Those unsightly photos are in his hands!If you don't accept his softness, can't you wait to be photographed by him? !What's more, Qin Yijie once threatened him that if he didn't obey him, he would be fired.This kind of thing is absolutely not acceptable, he needs this job of AfterHell very much.
Enduring and enduring, Zhang Xiaoheng had no choice but to clenched his fists to control himself not to explode, and reluctantly nodded to the other party.
Liu Zhaofeng stood behind Zhang Xiaoheng, he couldn't see Zhang Xiaoheng's expression of unwillingness to hold back his anger at the moment.Seeing the strange boy turned and left contentedly, he asked Zhang Xiaoheng:
"Huh? Do you know each other? What did he just tell you?"
Zhang Xiaoheng was in a panic at this moment. According to his temperament, he could only swallow such a shameful thing in his stomach, and he would not tell his friends even if he was killed.Besides, it's useless to tell, I'd better swallow the bitter fruit myself.So he had no choice but to squeeze out a forced smile:
"No, nothing. By the way, the school medical station is obliged to donate blood today, shall we go together?"
Although Liu Zhaofeng thought Zhang Xiaoheng's expression was very strange, since his buddy didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't gossip about it.Simply following Zhang Xiaoheng's topic, he walked forward while putting his shoulders on Zhang Xiaoheng's shoulders: "Okay! Didn't Xiaolin find the hematopoietic liver cells that match her because of voluntary blood donation?! Oh, I'll go!" What a miracle! How can such a good thing be without me!"
Hearing his mention of his sister, Zhang Xiaoheng finally relaxed and chatted with Liu Zhaofeng while walking.
Bear with it, it's just a body transaction.At least he still has a younger sister who can cuddle up to each other, so that's nothing.At present, there is really no better way to get rid of Qin Yijie, besides, he really needs money.
Forget it, let's take a step forward and take a step forward.

Sigh... Tomorrow I will delete, delete and delete again... The author who wanted to try a new style of writing frowned and said helplessly.
Zhang Xiaolin hurriedly dropped the vegetable basket and ran to the bathroom: "Brother! Brother! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Zhang Xiaoheng supported the toilet seat and knelt on the ground, his hands kept shaking, and his whole body was almost limp into a puddle of mud.He tried his best to press his overwhelmed stomach with one hand, and said weakly: "Uh...

Zhang Xiaoheng choked for a moment, and then explained: "Uh...the bar's performance is good, and it's a quarterly award."
Hearing what his brother said, Zhang Xiaolin was puzzled by Dou Sheng.No matter how good the performance of the bar was, his brother had never gotten back so much money at once on a non-payday day before.What exactly is going on? !
