monster study

Ji Xiao looked at Meng Xiaoquan in front of him, as if he had returned to the time when they first met.

He stared at it blankly, as dull as the hard mountain under his feet.And Meng Xiaoquan was like a ball of fire, bright and dazzling, brightening the world he saw through plain glasses.

No, Meng Xiaoquan at this moment is more dazzling than then, like the brightest star in the night.When it was flashing, Ji Xiao could hear his heart beating "Plop, plop".

And the whispering voices around.

"Who is this man?"

"Why do you come in dressed like this?"

"A little familiar? How could the boss know him? It's too disrespectful to come to this occasion dressed like this..."

"Fuck, isn't this Assistant Ji!"

"Assistant Ji?!"

……

Surprise was heard in the crowd, even Lu Zhifei and Shang Si didn't recognize Ji Xiao at first sight.Because Ji Xiao's current attire is too inconspicuous, let alone at a masquerade party, even if she walks on the street, she won't turn heads.

Too long bangs that almost reached the eyes, dull black-framed glasses, a wrinkled white shirt that didn't look like a girl at all, a pair of jeans and a pair of sneakers in the hands of an ordinary man from science and technology.

There is nothing wrong with this attire on anyone else, but who is Ji Xiao?That is the all-round male god recognized by the whole company!

"Could it be that this is a different kind of attire?" someone said suspiciously.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, but felt that this was the only reason that made sense.

Discussions arose everywhere, but Ji Xiao ignored them completely.At this moment, he only had Meng Xiaoquan in his eyes. He took Meng Xiaoquan's hand, saw the shadows of the two on the glass next to him, and suddenly sighed.

When the music sounded, Meng Xiaoquan raised his foot and kicked Ji Xiao, "Sigh, are you sorry for dancing with me?"

"I made a lot of money." Ji Xiao put his arms around her waist, "It's just that you are getting more and more beautiful, and when I stand by your side, I feel like I'm not good enough for you anymore."

Meng Xiaoquan started dancing with a smile, brushed his fingers casually over his shirt collar, and said, "Who told you to come dressed like this?"

"Because I was like this." Ji Xiao replied.

originally?Meng Xiaoquan was puzzled, but the dancing steps took her slightly away from Ji Xiao's side.In the next beat, she leaned slightly into Ji Xiao's arms, and her intimate movements made them look close.She turned and left, Ji Xiao stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, the music was boiling, the eyes of the two intersected and fixed, and the corners of their mouths smiled.

Laughter, applause, hormone explosion.

Meng's employees never knew that there was such a side to the usually superior boss. Gender blurred the boundaries in her, and every dance step seemed to be full of screaming charm.

Is it male?Is it female?Who cares about this at this time!

What about Ji Xiao?Wearing an ordinary dress that has never been seen before, when standing with Meng Xiaoquan, it is like a stone and a star, the difference between heaven and earth.However, even that kind of stone, the seemingly inconspicuous stone, actually began to become pleasing to the eye after the first round of surprise.

One is beautiful, the other is ordinary, under the extreme contrast, it makes people feel a little harmony.

At the end of the song, there was a burst of warm cheers from the crowd.The boundary between employees and superiors became very blurred at this moment, everyone laughed happily, and some even whistled, shouting that the boss and Assistant Ji were together.

"Today is such an important day, Brother Ji is not only late, but also took away our boss's first dance, it's too much." People who knew Ji Xiao were joking, and the rest followed suit.

"Yeah, yeah, brother Ji, we're with a beautiful...handsome guy like our boss! You didn't take out the clothes from the bottom of the box to wear, and punished you to come on stage and perform a show for us!"

"Stop it, why not put on a show for us, show it for the boss!"

"exactly!"

Ji Xiao was helpless, "This is the clothes I packed at the bottom of the suitcase."

Everyone didn't believe it, so Ji Xiao was driven to the shelves and onto the stage.Looking across the expectant smiling faces, Ji Xiao pushed his glasses and said, "In this case, I'll sing a song for our dear boss."

"Okay! Let's play a love song!"

"Just confess!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Ji, if you don't come up, give us the boss!"

The girls in the secretary's office shouted happily, they spent more time in contact with Meng Xiaoquan on weekdays, and knew that she was actually a knife-mouthed bean curd heart, so the relationship with each other was considered harmonious.

Ji Xiao raised his eyebrows, "This is impossible."

The girls immediately covered their hearts to express their grief, and when they saw Meng Xiaoquan looking over, they immediately pretended to return to serious expressions, but in fact, as long as Meng Xiaoquan was not paying attention, they would cheer for Ji Xiao on stage.

It seemed that Ji Xiao really wanted to confess his love to Meng Xiaoquan.

Ji Xiao sat down in front of a piano placed in the venue. He took a deep breath, and while placing his fingers on the keys, his eyes passed through the crowd and landed on Meng Xiaoquan accurately.

Those quiet eyes looked at him through the glass lens.

are you looking at me

Would you like to hear my voice?

Would you like to be with me?

The first key is pressed, the first note flows, and the heart trembles slightly, just like when we first met.Under the crimson sky, a maverick woman stood barefoot in front of the barren earth temple, she was laughing, cursing, and crying.

Like a thorn that broke out of the ground, covered in mud, but still trying to bloom.

The ordinary me stood aside at a loss, the cool wind blowing from the mountains seemed to draw a clear line between us.

But you don't know, my original dull and monotonous sky is still stained with your crimson color.

I took off my depressing glasses, cut off my long hair, put on brand new clothes, and came to you.

Did you see me with those eyes that were once full of sadness and stubbornness?

Seeing me who has become better because of you now, seeing me who was ordinary and boring in the past, who wanted to comfort you but could only stand aside.

I know.

I know your loneliness and exhaustion.

You have also seen my dullness and monotony.

So, would you like to be with me like this?

The music was still playing, the singing slowly floated in the venue, and all the laughter followed.Maybe it was because Ji Xiao's voice was too gentle, or maybe it was because the lights in the venue were too dim, and the atmosphere created was too tender. Suddenly, someone in the crowd wiped away a tear quietly, and then he was too surprised to know why.

When I looked up again, Ji Xiao in front of the piano was bathed in the soft light, obviously dressed in the most unremarkable attire, but the gentleness revealed at the corner of his mouth made people unable to take their eyes off.

Very hot.

Meng Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to cover his heart, slightly opened his lipsticked mouth, his eyes flickered, not wanting to let tears fall.It would be too embarrassing to fall off, it would lose her prestige in the company and spoil her makeup.

It's just that he sang a song to her, why would he want to cry?

It's so embarrassing, so outrageous.

Even though she was forced to receive psychological treatment and had to give up her dream of studying, Meng Xiaoquan never wanted to cry like she does now.

Does she really, really love Ji Xiao?Love this man who came to her at the most embarrassing and most collapsed moment in her life.

The singing stopped, and everyone was immersed in the gentle singing, and no one had the immediate reaction to applaud.Then someone exclaimed in surprise, and found Meng Xiaoquan squatting on the ground covering his face.

Everyone asked her what was wrong, if she was not feeling well, but Meng Xiaoquan just waved her hand and said it was okay.In fact, she was really just a little weak-footed, unable to stand for a while.

One word, cowardly.

However, Ji Xiao still walked up to her, took a bunch of "reeds" from Wu Qiangqiang, who had been waiting by the side, squatted down with her without any image, and passed the "reeds" over, "Give it to you." of."

Meng Xiaoquan looked up at the bunch of ugly "reeds", and saw its origin at the first glance, and paused, "Did you go to Huanxi Mountain?"

"Yeah, it took me three days to walk up Huanxi Mountain." Ji Xiao smiled wryly, "So when you go next time, do you want to consider taking me with you? Maybe they see that I belong to your family For the sake of it, I will give me some thin noodles."

Meng Xiaoquan burst out laughing, staring at Ji Xiao with reddish eyes, how could anyone express his love like that.Holding a bunch of broken "reeds" in his hand, he was still squatting on the ground.

Wait, Huanxishan, Didigong?

Meng Xiaoquan suddenly thought of something, "You, you can't be the one..."

"Yes." Ji Xiao smiled, "I am the one who made a wish to the Land Lord, and you are my wish."

You are my wish, what a beautiful word, Meng Xiaoquan thought so.This kind of feeling that the person you like also likes you is really great, it gave her the courage to completely ignore the surprised voices around her.

but.

Meng Xiaoquan took the bunch of "reeds" with his hand, stood up, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "I'm in collusion with the land master, don't tell me. Go to Huanxi Mountain, and don't tell me?"

"I was wrong." Ji Xiao took a step back sincerely.

The people around were still immersed in the great shock caused by the conversation between the two, and saw their boss take the bunch of "reeds" and start chasing her assistant.Everything seems to be different from before, and it seems that nothing has changed.

The Minister of Finance coughed and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. At least at the end of this year, we can have a luxurious seafood feast."

seafood feast!

Everyone's hearts couldn't help but become active, and the eyes they looked at Meng Xiaoquan and Ji Xiao also became warmer.

Shang Silue, who was in the crowd, turned his head to look at Lu Zhifei with satisfaction, and said, "Let me just say, the possibility of Meng Xiaoquan accepting and picking up a stool to chase after knowing the truth is [-] to [-]."

"Okay, Fourth Grandfather's miraculous skills are world-class, and he predicts things like a god." Lu Zhifei was in a good mood and didn't care about him, "Shall we go back now?"

Shang Si shook his head, and glanced at Xiao Qiao, "There is still a question waiting for me."

Xiao Qiao's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly regretted why she didn't take the opportunity to leave just now.But it was too late to escape now, so he had no choice but to be carried back to his study by Shang Si and confessed honestly.

This night was long and difficult for Xiao Qiao.

For Meng Xiaoquan and Ji Xiao, their moods were like the sky after the rain, completely transparent.On the balcony where the evening breeze was cool, Meng Xiaoquan leaned on the railing, tilted his head and looked at Ji Xiao's glasses, "Were you like this before?"

Ji Xiao hugged her from behind, sighed contentedly, and said, "Although I have good grades, my personality has been dull and rigid since I was a child. The thoughts in my head are rational at best, and negative at worst. Where can I put them away?" Both destroy the atmosphere. Others don't like me, and I don't like myself. Simply put, you and I are like the front and back of a coin, two completely different personalities."

Meng Xiaoquan had never seen Ji Xiao like that before, "Let me tell you what it looks like."

"you sure?"

"Don't you know that my happiness is always based on your pain?"

However, Ji Xiao looked at her bright eyes, didn't bother to recall the past, lowered his head and kissed her unforgiving mouth, and then let her go after a long time, the two stood in the moonlight tightly hugging each other .

Ji Xiao's warm breath blew in Meng Xiaoquan's ears, "Quit smoking, boss."

One day later, on the weekend, Ji Xiao came to Happy Mountain again.Accompanied by the first ray of light in the morning, he began to walk along the path that he walked back then, all the way to the Earth Temple.

From the foot of the mountain to the Earth Temple, it would take a long time to get there on foot, just like the distance between him and Meng Xiaoquan.It's far away, but there will always be a day of arrival.

In the morning light, the dilapidated Temple of Earth glowed with a layer of twilight, serene and tranquil.

Ji Xiao walked to the front of the temple devoutly, closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, thanking the Lord of the Earth for his help again.

The mountain wind blew past, and the bells under the eaves swayed slightly, as if responding to his thanks.Sitting cross-legged on the roof, the land lord smiled slightly when he saw the dust falling from the bell through the broken tiles and the bell that seemed to be cleaner.

He quickly replied to Lu Zhifei's message on WeChat, telling him not to worry about him anymore, and then quickly sent a new circle of friends.

Lord of the Earth: On the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is advisable to offer sacrifices to the land.If you are sincere, you will be spiritual, and if you are destined, you will get together.

He remembered the morning after the rainy night, when the old land was helping him wipe the dew from his feathers, looking into his worried eyes, he said, "Don't worry, I am a land prince, how can I die so easily? And although I said that most of the human beings don't need me anymore, there are always one or two who are not so strong in their hearts. Faith is something that needs to be found slowly. In the process, as long as they still need me , I have a reason to exist. So little sparrow, I may really disappear one day, but until that day comes, we all have to live seriously and happily."

Well, live seriously and happily.

Looking at the misty clouds and the distant city, the Lord of the Land stretched his waist, squinted his eyes, let the sun shine on his body, and took a deep breath, "Today is also a happy day."
