In the dream, a total of twenty-eight ghastly ghosts of different shapes chased him for life. Chen Shu, who had always scorned these in reality, for some reason was sweating profusely in the dream.
Run away, not even daring to look back.
The dream suddenly switched to the desolate Gobi desert.
In the dark night, Yumaken sat by the bonfire, staring at the burning flames, and slowly said: "Those who can't give up anything are destined to be unable to change anything."
In the dream, Chen Shu was sitting on the edge and listening intently. He suddenly felt a cold feeling on his back. When he turned around, he saw a strange face with a green face and fangs leaning over him. His white eyes without eyes were wide and staring.
staring at him.
"Give me my life, give us our lives~"
"You actually blew up twenty-eight of us alive~"
"They're all dead, they were all blown up by you~"
"You are so cruel~"
"So cruel~"
"Hard~"
——
"call!"
Chen Shu sat up suddenly and realized that he was in the bedroom at home.
Glancing out the window, I saw the early morning light and the sky was pale.
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Chen Shu shook his head and smiled bitterly. He got off the bed, walked to the toilet, washed up, and then went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.
After finishing a cup, Chen Shu took out his mobile phone and lay on the sofa to look up the WeChat chat history. In addition to the usual "99+" displayed on the work group, he unexpectedly received a WeChat message from Zhu Li.
He said that he was asked to come to Xingda University when he had time to find out something from him.
At this time, the phone rang. After looking at the number, Chen Shu smiled and answered the phone: "Mom, why did your call come as soon as I got up? It's so early, aren't you afraid of waking up your precious son?"
"What are you arguing about? I know you're awake. I checked your WeChat step count."
Chen Shu was stunned, there is still such an operation? It's just that he doesn't know whether to describe it as mother's care or mother's worry.
"By the way, son. Last time your friend gave you clothes and a watch, did you return the gift?"
When she was in NX, Zhu Li wanted Chen Shu to wear decent clothes when she attended Xiaoqiang's funeral. Because Chen Shu was distracted at the time, she took the initiative and bought a complete set of formal clothes for Chen Shu.
At that time, Chen Shu was in a very confused mood and didn't think too much about it. Basically, people handed him things and he took them and put them on without really thinking about it.
"Mom, if you didn't tell me, I would have completely forgotten about this. What kind of gift do you think I should give in return?"
"Hey, don't you think about it? You must treat the girl to a meal first. Ah, no, no, the gift she gave is so expensive, one meal is not enough. I tell you, treat her once a week, even if you want to
Ten times is enough."
Dare to love this is the rhythm of proactively offering long-term meal tickets.
"." The crows in the row above Chen Shu screamed and flew past in a queue, dumbfounding.
"Mom, how do you know it's a girl? Also, how can you treat someone to dinner as a gift in return? Do you treat her ten times in a row? Do you think your son is stupid?"
"Tsk tsk, I knew it was a girl. Hey, she must be a pretty girl. Brat, I tell you, don't let her down."
"Dudududu!"
Chen Shu couldn't stand Chen's mother's nagging in the morning, so he turned off his phone. After thinking about it, he turned mute off again, and then he sat down on the sofa with a long sigh.
It's a bit exaggerated to say that I would like to treat you to ten meals in a row, but you have to treat me to one at least.
You also need to prepare a considerable gift to send back.
Well, what should I do?
After thinking for a moment, the names of several female friends popped up, but for some reason, Chen Shu was a little reluctant or afraid to call and ask.
After much deliberation, he finally approached Zou Qing, the back-office worker at the unit who was also his junior sister.
Because it was still early, I just sent a WeChat message.
Unexpectedly, after a while, she responded with an OK gesture, saying that she was going back to have dinner with her father in the evening, so she had to come and pick her up early during the day when she was free.
"This little girl got up quite early."
Chen Shu was a little surprised. When he was young, if it was the weekend, he would spend the night eating, drinking, and singing karaoke. He would never go home before twelve o'clock.
After breakfast, I drove to pick up someone at the address Zou Qing sent.
The car was still the black Golf GTR. After driving it for so long, Chen Shu finally realized that there was no need to buy a very good engine for the car because it was driven in the city and had to be stuck in traffic on both sides.
A good engine consumes more fuel and makes more noise.
Maybe it's because he's older. He was also a young man who played with modified cars back then.
Arriving at the gate of the community, Zou Qing was already standing on the roadside ready to go.
She had cool super-A short hair, a sports-style cotton coat, a red scarf and gloves, and was carrying a small white bag.
Seeing his car, Zou Qing smiled and waved her hand. As soon as the car stopped, she opened the passenger door and got up.
Chen Shu turned the car around and headed towards Yintai Department Store, asking casually: "Zou Qing, you woke up so early? You didn't work on any projects at night?"
Zou Qing blinked her dark circles: "I received your WeChat message just after I got home."
Chen Shu said "Oh" and suddenly realized that he had sent her a WeChat message not long after getting up in the morning.
After sniffing again, she realized that Zou Qing smelled of alcohol coming from her body, but fortunately, it was not particularly strong.
"All night long? It seems that I still underestimate you, the post-00s generation."
Zou Qing chuckled and joked: "Senior brother, we can only drink for these two days, but we can't collect all the weight for a week."
Then he counted them one by one on his fingers: "Drink red wine for dinner, drink foreign wine at the bar, drink beer for supper, and drink white wine for breakfast."
Chen Shu had no choice but to interrupt: "You are still a girl after all. Don't get drunk like those male police officers all day long, or you won't get married."
Then you can marry me. Zou Qingfang secretly agreed, but she still started arguing openly: "Brother, don't worry, I'm just trying to catch a fish when I drink. I like to persuade those boys to drink, and deliberately watch them perform drunkenly.
, so interesting!”
"Yeah, I can't tell you anything. By the way, you go home to spend the weekends with your parents? That's a good habit."
"The main thing is to accompany my dad. He is in the army all year round. When he comes home, I must accompany him."
"Your father is in the army. No wonder you passed the police academy exam. Was your mother the one who raised you when you were a child?"
"No, I grew up in my grandpa's house when I was a child."
When she mentioned her grandfather, Zou Qing smiled even more and seemed to have a very close relationship: "Actually, I'm like a tomboy. Maybe it was my grandfather who brought me here. He liked to lead me around since he was a child, but now he's older and doesn't want to.
I live in the dry rest house singing and dancing every day."
"Retirement center? I can't tell you come from a military family."
The cadre rest center is a unit directly affiliated to each major military region. It mainly serves retired military cadres. Those who can enter the cadre rest center must be a figure in the army.
I drove to Yintai. Since it was just before ten o'clock and the mall had just opened, there weren't many customers except the waiters.
In fact, the rise and impact of e-commerce has had a great impact on traditional department stores. For example, for Chen Shu, he now buys clothes on Taobao or Tianmao. According to his early buying habits, he picks up some clothes and buys shoes.
Bought.
He hasn't bought clothes in the mall for many years. One is that it is expensive, and the other is that it takes time. It is not as convenient as lying at home and using a mobile phone to buy.
"Senior brother, are you buying a gift for my future sister-in-law today?"
Zou Qing walked ahead with her hands behind her back, turned her head, blinked, and asked playfully.
