"After I graduated, I have been working as a collection room keeper in a library in Shanghai." Cao Nan looked at Xiao Lan and said.
"But your brother is still in school?" Xiao Lan was very attentive. He immediately heard the problem. His brother was in school. Cao Nan said this personally, but Cao Nan is already working now. Is this normal?
?
"I can't help it. My family is in trouble. I just went to work after attending a technical secondary school and never furthered my studies." Cao Nan seemed a little helpless and regretful, but after all, it had been so many years, even though he had fought with his parents at that time.
, I even had the idea of running away from home, but when I talk about it now, I no longer have the incomprehension I had towards my parents at the beginning, and I am just complaining about the cruelty of life.
Cao Nan has a calm and tolerant temperament, elegant and peaceful tastes and habits. Sometimes she seems a little withdrawn and a little melancholy. This actually gives her a lovely and cherished quality of "the girl next door in the old days". But these statements are actually
It's very one-sided and subjective. If you were really able to "read" her in depth and interact with her, you probably wouldn't just come to such a superficial and wishful conclusion. You would know that this girl is definitely not
She is as calm and comfortable as you usually see her. Her heart, her personality and actions are far more complex and intense than what most people can feel, and it should be said that she is much more complex and intense.
"More". What's different about this girl is that she doesn't care how she lives (although she is good at decorating her room), nor does she care what she wears (although she can always buy cheaper ones)
The latest fashion), not to mention what others think of her (she is more eye-catching no matter where she goes). She is said to "have her own way", but many times she appears to be very honest and obedient; to say she is "honest and obedient",
But she can always do something that will make you stunned, stomp your feet, or even "too painful to live". The most accurate word to define her is, "you can't tell but you can't figure it out." This is her mother and her in middle school.
The only conclusion reached by the head teacher after years of "pain" and "pride".
Before sitting down for a minute, Cao Nan stood up again. She hurriedly removed some furnishings in the room and moved some furnishings. This was her usual "method" and "trick": to receive different guests, or to receive guests at different times.
For the same guest, she would always deliberately move and change the furnishings in the room. Even if it was not for the guests, but for herself, after a while, she would move and change it. She would tinker with it until midnight, tossing and turning.
When she becomes disgraced and exhausted, she lies down on the floor. She likes to create surprises and freshness for herself. She will never let a vase stay in the same place for a week. Over the course of a year, this vase can stay in the same place for a week.
She "swimmed" around the room several times. She was always looking for various optimal combinations and critical points. Regarding this "feature" of hers, her mother and her middle school teacher had differences.
This is also the only difference they expressed on her issue. Her mother believes that her instability will make her suffer for the rest of her life. The head teacher believes that it may be painful, but it will make her possible.
Toward success. "Success? Who? Her? Thank you." Her mother smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Xiao Lan noticed at a glance that there was a corner in the room dedicated to displaying books. The bookshelf was very unique. There were many shelves that could be pushed and pulled on a vertical axis. The shelves and the vertical axis were oiled dark brown.
The simple and rough wood grain of the original wood is revealed. Different types of books are placed on each shelf, or books for different purposes. For example, one shelf is full of zoology books. Another shelf is full of zoology books.
On the shelf were written materials needed by a good friend of hers. That good friend was pregnant and about to give birth. So she collected a lot of information about confinement, about infant care, and about early development of children's intelligence.
Books and newspaper clippings about maternal and infant hygiene, tips on stimulating and reducing lactation, for "consultation". (This is probably related to the habit she has developed from working in the library all year round.) But there are two boards.
The books on it were all books on public security and justice. When he first entered the room, he saw a book she had just read half-read on her bedside. Xiao Lan still saw two or three words on the title of the book.
, seemed to specialize in sexology. After hiding the book, her face did not turn red as expected, but she just looked a little embarrassed. She smiled and spread the pillow cover neatly, and then turned around to entertain her.
Xiao Lan. This girl in her twenties peeked at some books on sexology. Xiao Lan thought it was understandable. Times had changed after all. But why she was so interested in public security and justice puzzled him.
It's a little bit thought-provoking.
"Why did you invite me over so late at night?" Xiao Lan asked directly with a smile while continuing to look at the furnishings in the room. He smiled because he wanted to minimize the time when talking to her because he was older than Cao Nan.
The unavoidable condescending and stiff feeling didn't want to scare this little girl. I don't know why, although she was full of doubts about this "little girl", Cao Nan's innocence still attracted Xiao Lan.
Cao Nan didn't answer Xiao Lan's words immediately. After making tea, she sat in silence for a while. During this period, she also made herself a cup of tea. She held it in her hand and slowly stroked and rotated the cheap decaled glass.
Cup, and asked in a low voice: "Is the preparation for Homecoming ready to be established?"
"This matter seems to have nothing to do with you?" Of course Xiao Lan knew the purpose of Cao Nan's question, but he still said it.
"Isn't the opportunity to continue the PK competition still valid?" Cao Nan looked a little anxious and asked.
"Haha, please ask the guild to establish it. We haven't had a chance to defeat him yet." In short, Xiao Lan was just dealing with Cao Nan, and it seemed that there was no hope in the passing of time.
"Do you think I'm suspicious, with my hands stretched out so long and my hands meddling in so many other things?" Cao Nan asked tentatively.
"It's okay, it's normal." Xiao Lan said.
Cao Nan did not continue, but just moved the chair he was sitting on slightly. After a long time, he said: "Then can I join Homecoming in the future?" Cao Nan probably said it after making up his mind.
"Of course we welcome you if you want to join, but your brother's side..."
"I don't care what he thinks, he is him and I am me!" Cao Nan said to Xiao Lan, her voice was significantly higher than before.
"Well, just think about it yourself."
Except for Cao Nan's house, Xiao Lan immediately smiled and shook his head. This little girl is really weird. Is it necessary for him to make a special trip just for this little thing?
When we walked out of Pier Street, it was already nearly 12 o'clock. Although the nightlife in Shanghai has passed its peak stage, for an international metropolis like Shanghai, even at this time, the streets of the entire city
The alleys are still very lively.
After finding a relatively nearby bus station, Shanghai started the night bus system after 11 p.m. Although the time between the two night buses was quite long, Xiao Lan was lucky enough to get from Pier Street to the hotel where he was staying.
There really is such a trip...
40 minutes later, Xiao Lan was already standing at the door of the hotel, stretching out happily. After a busy day, Xiao Lan was not much better.
"Finally, I'm done with my work. Let's take a shower and go to bed."
Because there were 16 participating teams, and the operation team arranged the competition too loosely, Xiao Lan and others did not have to return to the competition venue the next day.
"Come back so soon?"
Pushing the door open and entering, Ye Shuiyou was not sleeping either, and was grabbing a piece of freshly washed clothes with both hands.
"Isn't there someone doing laundry down there? Why do you do it yourself?" Xiao Lan sat down on the sofa and hurriedly picked up the kettle next to him and poured some water.
"I still have to spend money down there, and since I don't have anything else to do now, I'll just wash it." Ye Shuiyou smiled at Xiao Lan and sent the clothes to put them up.
Xiao Lan slept soundly throughout the night and didn't wake up until around 10 a.m. the next day.
Since there was no competition, time seemed to pass much slower. He turned on the TV for a long time and couldn't find anything good to watch. Xiao Lan, who was bored, simply went online.
…
Since the competition is held in a dedicated server, the contestants' games at other times will not be affected by the competition. As soon as they went online, Xiao Lan received a system prompt, which was nothing more than congratulations on advancing to the next round.
"It's just the right time. I was just about to call you."
Suddenly, a message from He Bo was sent.
"Have you figured out the matter about Wang Xue's father?" Of course Xiao Lan knew what He Bo wanted to do with him, so he simply asked directly.
"Technicians have tested last night and confirmed that Wang Xue's father committed suicide. Although there are some doubts, they have been unable to investigate clearly. The higher-ups can only make this decision." He Bo replied.
"What? What do you mean you can only decide like this?" Xiao Lan said in surprise, "Since there are doubts, why not investigate?"
"It's very simple. Originally, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Now this situation is considered normal. In the end, it is estimated that the few police officers who followed Wang Xue's father will be punished." He Bo said with some helplessness.
But there is no way.
"Okay, I understand." Xiao Lan sighed and said, "But remember, even in this case, you have to continue to deal with the Avengers player. If you have the opportunity to expose that thing,
good."
Confused about how to deal with the matter of Wang Xue's father, Xiao Lan was not in the mood to continue chatting with He Bo. He stood alone in Hylar City and thought for a long time before deciding where to go.
