Mr hell

Huai Qi was silent for a long time.

He glanced at the camera screen and typed in another sentence, "I'm sorry senior, I have to sleep."But he hesitated for a long time and did not press the send button.

Jian Shuo asked, "What's wrong?"

Huai Qi's heart was pounding, because Jian Shuo's news just now gave him an indescribable sense of security, he was like a child squeezed into a crowd, he was holding a hand tightly, even if the temperature was unfamiliar, he was unwilling to to loosen.

Huai Qi squatted, with two eyes exposed between his knees, reflecting the faint blue light of the phone.He deleted the newly edited "Sorry senior, I fell asleep" one by one, gritted his teeth, and wrote: "Senior, I have encountered some trouble."

Jian Shuo: "?"

He said: "Someone" was at my door, but I didn't want to open the door. "

Jian Shuo immediately said, "Call the police?"

"No, don't, it's my neighbor, I just..."

The old man in the picture is hunched over and unarmed.The police will not believe Huai Qi's mysterious revolving door without any basis.

Huai Qi "just" couldn't come out.He retracted his tentacles carefully, and just said "forget it", before the apology was finished, the doorbell rang again.

The old man was still outside, persistently said: "Son, are you still here?"

Huai Qi frowned and didn't answer.

The old man giggled and said, "Stop joking with this old bone." I see your feet. "

Huaiqi stood up straight, and subconsciously took a few steps back, staring at the cracks in the door and the floor.But the old man in the video was still standing, and Huai Qi realized that he had been cheated.

The flustered footsteps just now revealed that he was still there, but the old man's ears were unexpectedly sensitive. Knowing that Huai Qi was still behind the door, he began to persuade him in a "good voice": "Open the door, Grandpa just wants to talk to you." Just chat for 10 minutes, and I finally met you at home."

Huai Qi didn't want to get entangled with him anymore, and after locking the door a few times, he planned to go back to the bedroom directly.

The old man who didn't get a response knocked on the door harder, but it only rang for a while before the knocking stopped abruptly.

Jian Shuo's voice came from outside the door: "You are disturbing the people."

Huai Qi's heart was in his throat instantly, he held his breath and listened carefully to the voices outside.

The old man whose wrist was grabbed by Jian Shuo didn't dare to speak, he was as silent as if the one who knocked on the door just now was a dead person.

"It's getting late," Jian Shuo said coldly, "You go back by yourself, or I'll take you back."

The old man trembled when he spoke, and his tone became weird. He said, "No need to send it, it's just a few steps away."

When Huai Qi saw the screen, the old man's expression showed panic. Fear seemed to have lubricated his rusty limbs, and his movements of turning around and leaving seemed a little faster.

Until his figure disappeared from the camera range.Jian Shuo just sent a message to Huaiqi, just a few short words: "I'm at the door, but he's gone."

Huai Qi pursed his lips, unlocked one lock after another, opened the door, and saw the tall Jian Shuo in front of him, his eyelashes drooping, his handsome face reflected in the soft light of the phone.

Jian Shuo looked up, and when he saw Huai Qi, his voice returned to his usual gentle voice, "Good evening."

……

Huai Qi was racking his brains to make up a reason to explain the situation just now.But Jian Shuo doesn't seem to be keen on digging out the gossip behind Huai Qi's embarrassment. Huai Qi doesn't say anything, and he doesn't mean to ask.

This is a very comfortable thing for Huaiqi.After Jian Shuo entered the door, his expression remained the same, as if an ordinary friend was visiting.

He said, "I didn't bother you."

"No." Huai Qi hurriedly said, "I also want to thank you."

Seeing the loose sportswear on Jian Shuo, he said, "Did senior go running at night?"

"Yeah, I happened to pass by here." Jian Shuo said, "A few days ago, I inquired about your apartment address when I was chatting with the squad leader of Class [-], and I wanted to chat with you a long time ago."

After getting Huai Qi's consent, Jian Shuo took a book from the cabinet, flipped through a few pages, and was attracted by Huai Qi's annotations.

Huai Qi looked at the book of Asimov's short stories on robots in his hand.The question mark above his head jumped out again.

Jian Shuo asked what he was doing.

Just because of the same hobbies?Doesn't Jian Shuo's professional nature determine that he will grab a lot of like-minded people around him?

"Yuchi and I set up a dual-creation team for more than the homework guidance for this theoretical course. She and I actually have selfish intentions." Jian Shuo explained, and he said, "Everyone else is starting from Yaoda. To catch people, why don't we get the moon first if we are close to the water."

"After your sophomore year, if you still want to stay in the team, we will give you assessment, training and appropriate assignment of some internship projects. To put it simply, the two teams are the preliminary 'talent pools' of our two companies. "Jian Shuo said, "Yuchi once made a bet with me on which side would have more people joining. It turned out that there was a difference of ten or so people between me and her. For this reason, I invited the new members of your team to have milk tea for a day." He Spreading his hands, he said, "However, after the class is over, there are still people to stay and screen, and I still have a chance to win."

Huai Qi probably understood a little bit, he said: "So senior, you..."

"I have seen your final assignment on programming design last semester. Although it is immature, the logical structure is beautiful and complete, and you have your own ideas. The degree of completion is also better than other freshmen. You must have taught yourself before entering school."

Huai Qi panicked and said, "Ah, yes, because the summer vacation is relatively free."

"Then your self-study ability is also very strong. The number one grade is the feedback of your talent and hard work." Jian Shuo said "see you", showing a smile that makes people—at least Huai Qi—irresistible, "Then Huai Qi Classmate, are you interested in coming to my place?"

"..."

Huai Qi said: "But I have already filled out the form with my senior sister."

"If you agree, I can discuss it with her."

"I……"

Huai Qi struggled for a long time.He is a bit "relocated" in every aspect. Facing a direction he is not familiar with, he still chooses to settle down as he has come. He stumbled and said: "Sorry senior, I may not be as good as you think. I am still getting used to it for the time being." Stay in your comfort zone. "

"Okay." Jian Shuo said, "It doesn't matter if you refuse, I'm sorry."

After a moment of silence, only the pages of the book in his hand were still breathing.

"But personally, I still want to fight for it." Jian Shuo tapped the pages of the book lightly, and said, "Can you lend me three days in the next week?"

Huai Qi: "Huh? "

Jian Shuo smiled and said, "I'll challenge you to convince you."

"I……"

"I don't mind if you reject me, but I still want to agree to my attempt," Jian Shuo said softly, "Huai, give me a chance."

He seemed very determined. After finishing speaking, he closed the book, got up and walked to the sink, and said, "I haven't had time to wash my face after running."

A sense of familiarity welled up in Huai Qi's heart, he looked at his bent silhouette, and suddenly called out mysteriously: "Yi Su?"

Jian Shuo was indifferent, with drops of water on his forehead soaked in clear water, after turning on the faucet, he just glanced in the direction of Huaiqi.

"Who were you calling just now?"

Huai Qi's test failed, so he had to say: "No". "

"Then I'll go first." Jian Shuo said, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

Huai Qi sent Jian Shuo away, all kinds of things were entangled and circling in his mind, he fell into bed by himself and struggled for a long time, opened his phone, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to.I had no choice but to write it down in the memo until my mood was not so complicated and unbearable.

Feeling a little more relaxed, he took out the red bottle cap he carried with him and held it up to look at it for a long time.Finally sighed, picked up the quilt, rolled around, and fell asleep.

……

He knew he would have nightmares at night.

In the dream he was being chased, he could only hear footsteps behind him, who was chasing him, and what was the name behind him.Huai Qi didn't even know.

He only knew that his heart was about to explode, pumping the boiling blood to his numb limbs heavily.

He dared not look back, he was terribly afraid.

He heard trembling voices scratching his eardrums——

"Listen, you are an elder brother, you must hold this knife tightly and protect your sister."

It was my own voice.

Who are you talking to?

Huai Qi looked down and saw that his bloody hands were tightly hugging a little girl who had been disembowelled.Her dark red internal organs were exposed, like roses growing in rot.The roses grew wildly, and climbed to his chest, and the petals fell all over the ground.

A black shadow in the shape of a human appeared in front of Huai Qi, covering his entire body.Huai Qi's heart stopped suddenly, and at some point, the sound of chasing footsteps from behind came in front of him.

wrong.

Huai Qi, who was engulfed by the shadow, suddenly looked back. In the darkness, the footsteps of the pursuer were still clearly discernible.

In the dream, he didn't know the cause and effect, and there was no logical order, Huai Qi only felt his body suddenly cold.

It turned out that there were two people chasing him.

……

Huaiqi sleeps "honestly" and has never been awakened by nightmares.

So he was terrified in his dream all night, and his heart was going to be tired the next day.As if he hadn't slept, he dragged his tired body to get up.I can smell the aroma of rice again.

A hint of surprise rose in Huaiqi's heart, he opened the door and called out, "One Su."

"It's me." Wen Qian's voice was lazy, he folded his arms, crushing Huai Qi's surprise.

He was dressed in a blue-black Taoist robe, with long hair tied up in a high bun. Compared with his usual appearance, he had a slightly sunken fairy-like bone. He knocked on the dining table and said, "No class in the morning, I'm full." Let me take you somewhere."
