"A group of classmates got together again to talk about a certain ghost movie, but who among them believed that there are really ghosts in this world? So I still couldn't figure it out. They didn't believe in ghosts, but they were either excited or afraid because of it. But, maybe it was because That’s why they can’t see it? After all, when I squeeze a good friend in my hand and rub it around, I can’t get excited and scared——"My Diary"

"Xiao Chen, how about I take care of you? You can refuse if you want, but there is a problem with work."

The person who asked the question was Zhao Xiwen, the boss of Lan Minhe.The person being asked was Chen Xiuyuan, an ordinary waiter on the first floor of Lan Mint.

The former is 32 years old this year, and has two older brothers and one older sister.One of his two elder brothers is in the army, the other is in politics, his sister is in business, and his parents are the older generation who have already retired to the second line.

As for the latter, the mother died early and the father died in a car accident.So just now, he had to run out to work.

These are two very different people, Chen Xiuyuan can refuse, but will that job with some problems simply represent his job in Lan Mint?

"Okay, but you have to give me some time to get used to it." After only thinking about it for 2 minutes, Chen Xiuyuan nodded in agreement.But his straightforwardness, on the contrary, Zhao Wenwen, who was excited before, was a little disappointed. He likes products from good houses, especially those that are difficult to get started.And since Chen Xiuyuan went to work in Lan Minhe, in Zhao Xiwen's view, even if he kept his life clean before then, he was already mentally prepared.

The age difference between Zhao Ziwen and his older brothers and sisters is very big, he is the youngest son who came by accident, so he was spoiled by all the family members and grew up, it can also be said that he played from childhood to adulthood, but he is a player who knows the rules, Never goes too far.

When you are always within the rules, you will get tired of it, so occasionally he will cross the line, but he has always been very measured.For example, in terms of sex, he has never been interested in expanding bed sports into an extreme sport, nor is he interested in developing to a higher level of interracial sports.

Chen Xiuyuan is what he has recently taken a fancy to. Judging from his figure, he is a young man who likes sports. He has built a figure like a model. The cheap black suit vest and trousers worn by the blue mint waiter look like a High-end custom goods.And he has a beautiful and attractive face, a delicate nose, the bridge of the nose is not very high, but very straight, the tip of the nose and the wings of the nose are very small; it seems that he is always smiling, and his lips are thick and moderate, which matches his nose very well ;he also has a square chin, not a particularly rough one, which just makes him look less feminine and more masculine.

It can be said that the only thing about Chen Xiuyuan's appearance that dissatisfied Zhao Wenwen was his eyes.It's not that those eyes are ugly, at most they are not big, but they are not small, but they are the most suitable shape and size for his face, and his eyes are very dark, and adults have such black eyeballs. Really rare, those are definitely a pair of beautiful black eyes.

However, every time he looked into those eyes, Zhao Xiwen felt a little creepy, and also cold.It is also this point that made Zhao Ziwen hesitate for two weeks before making up his mind - who made Chen Xiuyuan too suitable for his appetite?Even now that his excitement has dropped slightly due to disappointment, he still wants to "associate" with Chen Xiuyuan.

"Then let's meet here at 11:30 noon tomorrow? Don't worry about work, you can take a day off tomorrow, and your salary will be the same." Zhao Ziwen handed over a note, Chen Xiuyuan took it, and the two people's eyes collided with each other. Together.Zhao Xiwen's hand that passed the note couldn't help but tremble a bit, the uncomfortable feeling was even heavier this time.Even the corners of Chen Xiuyuan's slightly curved lips became gloomy at that moment...

The next day, the two met in a western restaurant.

Zhao Wenwen was 5 minutes late. When he went upstairs, Chen Xiuyuan had already sat in the seat he reserved and looked over at him when he appeared.Zhao Wenwen smiled at him and walked towards him.But unfortunately, something caught his feet on the ground, he staggered a bit, and supported a pillar on one side, so as not to make a fool of himself.

He subconsciously looked at the ground, but there was nothing on the smooth floor.However, his foot was indeed sprained, and it didn't hurt, but there were bursts of soreness and astringency from the ankle to the calf.He turned his ankle, and there was still no pain, but the heaviness below the knee seemed to be more intense.

"Excuse me, are you okay?" The waiter on the second floor came over and asked politely.

"It's okay." Zhao Xiwen shook his head, but at the same time he felt chills in his chest and a little suffocated. He didn't know if it was due to psychological effects, the air conditioner in the store was turned on too low, or he was really uncomfortable today. .He did start to feel bad, though, and that's right.

Zhao Xiwen glanced at Chen Xiuyuan again, he was still sitting firmly on the seat, which made Zhao Xiwen a little angry, but after a while, he felt that this was the best way.After all, he didn't always like difficult things, but did Chen Xiuyuan realize that things were too easy?So, he doesn't come here to flatter you now, which means that although he agreed, he is not willing.So, his vision is still right.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ziwen's mood became better again, and his calf seemed to become brisk again. He walked over and sat on the ground of Chen Xiuyuan, with a pleasant smile on his face.

"May I ask you two to order now, or wait a while?"

"Xiao Chen, what do you think?"

"I'm a little hungry."

"Then order now."

Therefore, Zhao Xiwen ordered the seafood baked rice set, while Chen Xiuyuan ordered the black pepper steak set.The waiter left, Chen Xiuyuan continued to remain silent, while Zhao Wenwen, who had the fighting spirit, began to look for topics.

"How's this place? I picked it specially for you." What Zhao Wenwen said is true, no matter how good a western restaurant is in Huaxia, it's just that.For Zhao Ziwen's status, it is actually very cheap to go to such a place.But Chen Xiuyuan is just a "kid" who is not yet twenty, and if he takes him to a really high-end place, it is probably because of Zhao Ziwen's coquettish eyes for the blind.It's better to come to this kind of place that children like.

"Fortunately."

"Xiao Chen, what do you usually like to do? Do you like playing games?"

"I like to walk and run, and occasionally go swimming."

"Oh, you like fitness?" Zhao Xiwen understood Chen Xiuyuan's answer in this way, "otherwise you are in such a good shape." Zhao Xiwen took a sip of lemonade and smiled lewdly.At the same time, they were also looking forward to Chen Xiuyuan's reaction.

shy?anger?disgust?Or excitement?

But there were no results. Chen Xiuyuan was just looking at him, the same way he was looking at the tables and chairs around him.It made Zhao Ziwen unconsciously think of the look in his eyes that made him almost tremble before he saw Chen Xiuyuan leave his office yesterday.

He felt that something was wrong again, but before his brain could find the answer, his body gave him another wrong answer. He pressed his lower abdomen: "Sorry, excuse me." Then he kept his gentlemanly demeanor and ran all the way rushed into the men's bathroom...

After 15 minutes, Zhao Ziwen came back.As soon as he sat down, the meal ordered by two people came to the table.Just when Zhao Ziwen wanted to have some fun, like saying to Chen Xiuyuan, "The baked rice is delicious, do you want to try a spoonful?", and then played a little game of you feed me and I feed you, his stomach started to grow up again stand up.

"I'll leave for a moment." This is the second time, but not the last time...

About half an hour later, at the gate of the First Central Hospital, Zhao Wenwen was pushed into the emergency room.A friend of Zhao Wenwen took over here, and Chen Xiuyuan, who took him to the hospital by taxi, returned to the entrance of the western restaurant, found his bicycle, and rode on his way home.

The community where Chen Xiuyuan lives is an old house with no real estate. Although there is a carport opened by the neighborhood committee, bicycles are still often lost.So he had to carry his car up the third floor and into his little hallway.

The house is the most valuable material legacy left by his father. To put it mildly, it is a set of two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. I don’t want to move around, but now there is only one bicycle... The kitchen is a long and thin strip, with a gas stove and a countertop on one side, and only one person can pass through the vacated space.The bathroom is even more cramped, and the bathtub can never be plugged in there, and it is easy to touch the sink when it is raining.

Chen Xiuyuan let go of the car, decided to take a shower first, and opened his room.Then a strange arrangement in his room appeared in front of his eyes-a shrine, a shrine placed in the bedroom, and it was facing the bed, and what was even more strange was that this shrine did not enshrine any gods and Buddhas, Not an ancestral tablet, nor a family photo, but a peach carved from white marble...

Chen Xiuyuan, who was going to the bathroom with a change of clothes, stopped suddenly. He raised his right hand—you can see a very thin jade ring without any pattern on his index finger—towards the shrine He shook it twice: "Go back."

A black smoke came out of his ring, like a snake without eyes and mouth, it twisted twice in the air, plunged into the peach and disappeared.Chen Xiuyuan, who was sure that he had nothing to miss, turned around and went to take a shower.

As long as he can remember, Chen Xiuyuan can see things that other people can't see... and his father who raised him alone is a doctor, but he is also an "old school" person. He also believes that children can see things. Adults can't see things, so they are never like other parents who think that what their children say is a lie, or even grandstanding.

His father just told him not to get too close because these things are dangerous.Don't tell others that this is Chen Xiuyuan's special talent, and it is the little secret of their father and son.

Chen Xiuyuan has always abided by the second rule, although listening to his classmates talking about ghosts and ghosts in elementary school once gave him the urge to tell the truth.And his father told him, if you really want to talk to someone, then write a diary and talk to your pen and paper.However, the first rule... It's not that he doesn't want to abide by it, but that there is another word in this world called "uninvited".

So Father Chen had to seek advice from some professionals, but their luck in this regard was very bad. Most of them met liars, and those who only had half a bottle of water. What was worse was that the last time they met a manic psychopath. After reading a lot of books on this topic—although most of them were made up—Chen Xiuyuan felt that the guy who wanted to nail a steel needle between his eyebrows was more like a legendary demon heretic?

But in short, ever since the last unhappiness, it was like this for both parties. After that, Father Chen never took Chen Xiuyuan out to seek support again.His son's ability, in most cases, is enough to protect himself, so the request to him becomes "don't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong".Chen Xiuyuan also complied, and it is still the case until now.

Therefore, Zhao Ziwen, the second generation of Quan who came to his door, definitely courted his own death.
