Section 3 Chapter 13 Under the Bait

Everyone in the residential buildings on both sides of Xingfu Road was in danger. They had all heard about the serial murders. Those who could leave temporarily decided to go out to avoid the limelight. Those who could not leave closed the doors and windows of their homes and prayed.

Able to stay away from bad luck.

That noodle shop also chose to close its doors, making the already deserted street even more lifeless now.

The Meijia Hotel has almost no business. But the hotel owner's insistence on opening the business finally got him some rewards. But now, except for the receptionist Hu Shier, there are only two tenants in the whole building.

The tenant doesn’t need many tenants, but with him, Hu Shier feels that life is much more exciting. Yes, Lu Sheng and Xiao Zhu have returned to the Beautiful Home Hotel.

Lu Sheng said that he and Xiao Zhu would be inseparable. Of course they would not go to Lu's father's home, nor did they go to the designated reception hotel provided by the Meizhou police.

The master and the apprentice decided to return to Happy Road, so they returned to the Beautiful Home Hotel again. Xiao Zhu's yearning for a beautiful home far exceeded his fear of Happy Road.

At this moment, Xiao Zhu was standing in front of the cashier, leaning on the hotel cashier with his arm. He looked at Hu Shier, but did not dare to stare at her face all the time, "Aren't you scared?"

"You have to make money. I was a little bit good at first, but now I'm not afraid." As soon as the words came out, Hu Shier suddenly panicked and quickly explained, "You are the police. Because you are here, the whole street can rest assured."

Already."

Even though he knew that Xiao Zhu might want to chat with Hu Shier, even though he knew that Xiao Zhu didn't want him to follow him now, Lu Sheng still sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby not far from them.

While Lu Sheng listened to the conversation between the two of them, his eyes remained on Hu Shier.

It wasn't because of Hu Shier's beautiful curly hair, her pointed chin, or her rosy cheeks. What made Lu Sheng unable to take his eyes off was Hu Shier's clothes.

Because Lu Sheng just realized that the female receptionist in his impression always seemed to be wearing the same dress. Is that white dress the work uniform they used when working in the hotel?

Lu Sheng also couldn't remember where he had seen Hu Shier in real life. Maybe because of Xiao Zhu, she looked much more friendly now.

"Did your boss only hire you?"

"There used to be another one. When we changed shifts, business was not good, so now I am left alone. There is also a cleaning lady."

Lu Sheng felt bored listening to their chat. Why does Xiao Zhu always talk about such boring topics?

In this situation, anyone can see the thoughts of this man and woman.

But the two of them didn't find the chat boring. Maybe even if they didn't speak, they wouldn't feel embarrassed.

"Before we came here, you were the only one in the whole building?" Xiao Zhu hesitated for a moment, without looking into Hu Shi'er's eyes, looking absent-minded, and continued to ask, "Is your boyfriend also relieved?"

This question seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Hu Shier was finally able to say it clearly. She also pretended not to care and said, "My dad is the only one who cares about me now. This is the only man who cares about me."

Lu Sheng smiled with satisfaction. The boy finally talked about something useful. But soon, Lu Sheng, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly felt a little sleepy, but he couldn't lie down, he had to stay awake.

He was afraid that something bad would suddenly break into his dazed thoughts again.

Since arriving at the beautiful home, Lu Sheng decided to hold on and not sleep at all.

Sometimes he would add several bags of instant coffee in succession. It was no longer clear that there was liquid in the thick cup, more like a cup of dark brown porridge.

It's hard to say whether drinking this stuff can suppress sleep, but the bitter taste is like swallowing a whole pig gall dripping with bile.

Later, Lu Sheng simply gave up coffee. He remembered the drugs that could treat narcolepsy, modafinil and methylphenidate. He ate them randomly, and the amount of drugs he took far exceeded the maximum dose required.

The rain outside has not yet fallen, and the dark clouds are still covering the sky. The deserted and lively streets are alternating regularly, and the street lights on both sides of the road are consuming life day and night.

Hu Shier looked at the sofa in the distance. She gave Xiao Zhu a look, indicating that he should also look at Lu Sheng behind her.

Seeing Lu Sheng's end moving downward unconsciously, Xiao Zhu knew that the master must be very tired. Although he was reluctant, he still walked towards Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng was in a daze and didn't know how he returned to the room with Xiao Zhu. He only felt that his body suddenly felt much softer and more comfortable, and the persistent sleep finally penetrated in successfully.

Lu Sheng looked at the vague figure beside him and said with difficulty, "Stay by my side...don't leave..."

Xiao Zhu agreed "Yeah, ah" on the side, but now he really cherishes the hard-won opportunity. He really wants to return to Hu Shier's side, even if he just sits next to the sofa and just uses his spare time.

Just looking at her, as long as he can be in the same space as her, he will feel satisfied.
