"The person you are looking for is your sister's friend?"
I stood up, looked at Zong Bao and smiled bitterly: "Yes, her friend."
Zong Bao's eyes were slightly puzzled: "Then what are you doing with your sister's friend?"
"I just want to know what their relationship is." I replied calmly: "I didn't expect to find out so easily."
I just used a stranger’s QQ number. I really made a big detour!
"I just want to know if they are friends."
"Um."
"I don't understand."
I walked to the door of my bedroom and turned to look at Zong Bao: "You don't have to understand, it's all over. I just want to know why, that's all."
Zong Bao stood up: "Now that everything has passed, I still need to know what to do."
I shrugged and said, "Don't give in, good night."
Lying on the bed in the bedroom, with my eyes open and no longer feeling sleepy, my mind inexplicably recalled the scene at Sister Li’s house that night——
"Sister Li, it's actually been so long. I know you're in trouble. You don't have to tell me. It's just that time has passed. It doesn't seem to make sense whether you know some things or not."
"Jiaolong, I know this matter has passed, but you have suffered a big loss. This matter is still a hurdle in your heart. I do have my own difficulties. I really didn't want to talk about Linda before.
I have always thought about it. After all, she received money from others, and she is still prosperous now. It is no longer what it used to be. After all, I am just the deputy manager of a small entertainment venue. Compared with others
No way."
"I know, if she didn't have this ability, how could she harm me."
"You can't let go, can you?"
"Sister Li, how can I let it go? I just knocked out my teeth and swallowed it in my stomach. After all, I also beat people, and I was somewhat relieved. But even if I beat them to death, this
This incident still has a shadow on me, because who can bear to have good clothes melted in public, and..."
"Forget it, Jiaolong, don't think about it. I will tell you what I know now. In fact, I don't know much. It's just how Linda came out of school. At that time, she was just like you, come to me
I was applying for a job here. I saw that she was pretty, so I chatted with her for a few more words. I was surprised to find out that she was a student at the Polytechnic University. Although I have college students here, I have never met anyone from such an important university. She
As soon as she arrived, she had to go to the order counter. She seemed to be short of money, but the first customer she received was rude to her. She was so frightened that she cried, which naturally also shocked the customers. It made a big fuss. We were open for business.
The biggest fear was to offend the customers, so the general manager was very angry and wanted to fire Linda..."
"But I don't understand why she wants to work in a performing arts disco. Her family has always provided for her living expenses."
"Listen to me and tell you slowly. Of course I will handle this matter. At first, I wanted to fire her directly according to the general manager's wishes. After all, we can't raise a girl who offends a customer.
, but then she knelt down directly to me and begged me to help her, saying that she owed a lot of money to others and she couldn't afford it, and if I didn't help her, she would go to jail."
"Of course I had to ask her how a college student could owe money to someone. She told me the truth at that time. She said she came from a rural area and her family was very difficult. There were only a few people in her village.
She was one of several college students, and she was from a key university. She originally thought she had a bright future, but there were many temptations in big cities, so she couldn't control herself."
“She said that she saw a school girl’s watch that was very good, and she wanted to keep it as her own. Unexpectedly, they made a big fuss, so she hid it everywhere and accidentally broke it. As a result, the watch was still in her dormitory.
After being found out, she didn't expect that this Omega watch cost 60,000 yuan. For her at the time, this was an astronomical figure. Since people wanted to call the police and it was ugly to see this kind of thing happen in college, she
After she was fired, she was asked to pay back 60,000 yuan within a month, otherwise she would be sent to jail. Naturally, she came to me, and that’s what happened next. Hey, I thought she was young, and plus
It was really pitiful for her to cry when she went to the hospital. I am a soft-hearted person, and it would be easy for anyone to get into this industry, so I thought of helping her."
I looked at Sister Li at the time and said, "But isn't this matter going to be a big deal? Why is it that no one is picking on her after she becomes famous?"
I don't think it's strange that she steals things. After all, one's nature is hard to change. She is the kind of person who wants to take whatever good things others have into her own hands. My mobile phone back then is an example.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be showing off in front of me while carrying a Prada.
"This incident itself is a scandal in colleges and universities, and the school must block the news. Secondly, Linda said it herself, because she had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes, and she was the only one who was there when the police searched their dormitory, so she really knew it was her.
Not many people have stolen things, and she was expelled immediately. Even if many people are curious about this, she has left school. A few people will know that Xu Linlin from the Polytechnic University is Linda. Besides, Linda
Her luck is not that good. After I introduced her to Hong Yang, she quickly met a boss, and she came to me to silence me. This is why I didn't tell you, but
If you think about it, Linda knew that she wanted to keep my mouth shut. Who knew about her affairs? She must also know it clearly. If she wants to be in the entertainment industry in the future, she will naturally take care of her own worries first. What do you mean?
right?"
I didn't respond at the time because I couldn't figure out what this matter had to do with Tong Anqi. She could threaten Xu Linlin, and I carefully recalled the meaning of their chat that day. She must have known about it, but she and Xu Linlin did not
They are not from the same school. They are still one grade apart. How did Tong Anqi know about this?
"Jiaolong, what are you thinking about?"
"I was just thinking that it was a sister of my aunt's family who harmed me with Xu Linlin, and she should have threatened Xu Linlin with this matter. Now I just know about it, but I still can't figure it out.
How did my aunt's sister know about Xu Linlin? Although they are the same age, Xu Linlin went to school a year earlier, and my aunt's sister did not go to the same university as her."
"It's so complicated. If you can figure everything out, I think you should check on one person, Yuan Xiao. Xu Linlin stole her watch. I think it will be clear if you check her relationship with your sister. After all, this is
Not many people know about it, and if your sister can threaten Linda, it must have something to do with Yuan Xiao..."
"Jiaolong, although you know this now, I don't think you should take it too seriously. After all, it has already passed, and that Linda is not simple. She climbed up very fast. She just passed.
How long has it been? The speed at which she became famous is astonishing. It would be great if Hong Yang’s subordinates could become like little celebrities. Some of them can become as popular as she is, so I think she must have some skills, like this
Man, it's better for you to keep some distance, not to mention, you have suffered from her..."
I opened my eyes and looked at the bedroom that seemed to be covered with a layer of black veil at the moment. I sighed, and the corners of my eyes felt so painful.
Maybe no one understands my feelings. I have been struggling with something that has passed for a long time. I just want to know why, why I was harmed by the two of them. It can be said that the most important thing in my life is...
They were all gone that day. The friendship I cherished and the man I liked were all gone.
So I care, even if I know that knowing all this may not be of much use, I still care. But the answer I suddenly learned after a year and a half made me feel even more pathetic. It’s just that
Because Xu Linlin stole a watch from Yuan Xiao, and that Yuan Xiao was Tong Anqi's best friend, so Tong Anqi could go back and threaten Xu Linlin——
Oh, how small this world is. Two people who didn't know each other originally found a community that they all knew me while going around, and then they all pointed their guns at me, thus achieving their different goals.
, no matter how angry I am and how ridiculous I think this is, I have to deny that their goal was achieved.
I remembered that I followed Cheng Baize to a Western restaurant for dinner, and the phone call I heard from Xu Linlin when I was in the bathroom. At that time, she must have been talking to Tong Anqi again, and Xu Meijin’s unusual behavior after I returned home.
I should have been reminded of everything in advance. I don’t know if it’s because I’m too stupid or because the connection between these things is too incredible, but looking back, I still want to scold myself for what I deserve!
Who told you to earn that thousand yuan?
Who made you trust Xu Meijin so much?
Just thinking so wildly, I gradually closed my eyes and fell asleep...
"Master, Master?"
Someone pushed me next to me, and I opened my eyes in confusion: "Huh?"
"Master, why are you still asleep? It's time to lift the hijab."
I was instantly shocked, stood up, and looked at the woman in her forties with a bun in front of me: "Who are you!"
The woman looked at my reaction and instead of being surprised, she sighed and said in a low voice: "Master, it's useless for you to pretend to be crazy. I can only blame you for being born in the wrong body. You can only marry a wife and have children in this life.
Mr. Hou, you’d better stop thinking about it.”
What nonsense did you say? I took a step back, and with a quick glance I realized that this was not the house I rented at all, but the kind of antique house I saw in TV dramas. The weirdest thing was a carving on the innermost part of the house.
Also sitting on the bed was a veiled woman wearing a bright red wedding dress!
Go, this is a dream! I panicked and wanted to pinch my face, but the woman grabbed my hand and pointed to the bed inside: "Master, the time has come, go and lift your hijab.
, stop thinking about other things, marrying a wife and having children is the right way."
"No, wait a minute, I'm a woman!"
I said loudly, I have never thought about dreaming about marrying a wife!
"Hey, young master, everyone in this house knows that you want to be a woman, but this is impossible. Don't think about the Marquis anymore. This matter has been spread out now, and both the master and his wife are worried about it.
If you don't want to start, hurry up and don't miss the good time. In this life, you just have to accept your fate."
"What fate do I accept!" I was about to cry. I looked down at the long red gown I was wearing. Isn't this a typical groom's uniform? Suddenly I felt something was wrong there. I stretched out my hand and touched my chest.
Touch, it's so smooth, my God, I had this dream, the gender was completely changed. He looked at the woman: "You should tell me who I am! What is this!"
The woman looked at my helpless face and handed me something similar to a scale: "Go and lift the hijab. I'll leave first."
I stood there with a confused face, watching the woman go out and close the door. I looked around at the environment. Could it be that I was still dreaming about my previous life, but that’s not right. I was obviously a woman in my previous life. Why?
I have become a big man! And I should obviously be a bystander, but why am I actually marrying my wife myself? Isn’t this funny!
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door. I stepped forward and opened the door with some confusion. Looking at the person outside the door, I couldn't help but stare: "Cheng Baize?!!"
Cheng Baize was also wearing a long double-breasted coat, and his hair was still combed. Oops, he looked at me and said awkwardly: "Cheng Baize! What the hell is going on!"
He looked at me and lowered his voice: "Master, don't pretend to be crazy when you're with me! Don't worry, I've prepared everything you want. After you finish your work later, I'll take you to find Hou
Master." After saying that, he handed me something that shone with cold light.
I took it in my hand and looked at it. I couldn't help but tremble again. It turned out to be a sharp dagger: "What do you want me to do?"
Cheng Baize looked at me, no, to be precise, he looked at me with the same face as Cheng Baize: "Young Master, don't worry, although the Marquis misunderstood that the Young Master married his wife and betrayed him, but the Young Master went to seek refuge this time, everything will naturally come to light.
If the Marquis is afraid that the world will disappoint the young master in the future, then this villain will follow him to the death and serve the young master for the rest of his life!"
What's going on? I looked at 'Cheng Baize' in front of me: "No, um, what do you mean by giving me this knife?"
'Cheng Baize' looked around cautiously: "Master, I know you are afraid, but if you don't want to do this, no one will dare to force you even half an inch."
I looked at the dagger in my hand: "You mean I asked you to give it to me?"
'Cheng Baize' nodded: "Young master, stop pretending. Even pretending to be crazy is useless. I have married you a wife. You told me yesterday that victory or defeat depends on this one move.
It depends on this moment if you can’t fight to the end.”
I swallowed: "I don't mean to kill her."
'Cheng Baize' did not speak, but made a decapitating motion on his neck with his palm.
I was shocked: "Isn't this bad..."
'Cheng Baize' frowned and looked at me: "The young master still vowed yesterday just because he and the Marquis have a deep relationship, but the world is declining, and it is inevitable to take into account..."
"Wait a minute!" I interrupted him: "Is the Marquis you are talking about Zhuo Jing? He is a man, right?"
"Master, don't pretend to be crazy anymore! It will be daybreak in a little while!"
I understand. It seems that I am a man in this life. According to them, I also like men, so they persuade me to marry a wife?
Thinking about it, I turned around and went straight into the house, still holding the dagger in my hand. I didn't mean to kill anyone, I just wanted to see who I would marry!
Before I could get closer, the woman sitting on the bed lifted her hijab, raised her eyes and looked at me full of resentment: "Mr.
I paused in my steps and looked at her face. The dagger in my hand fell to the ground with a clang, "It's you..."
She stood up, and Tingting walked up to me. The aroma of rouge spread out from her body. I saw that her fingertips were about to touch me, but my legs suddenly couldn't move. I was so frightened that I suddenly couldn't move.
He yelled: "Xu Meijin!!!" and sat up from his clothes.
The pajamas on my body were soaked with sweat and stuck to my body. I reached out and panted and touched my chest. Then I took a long breath. It's normal. This is normal. I turned around and looked at
Outside the window, through the untied curtains, I could clearly see the snowflakes flying outside. I gently touched my heart. I never wanted to dream about my past life again. What the hell is this!
Forget about being a man, forget about marrying a wife, how could she marry Xu Meijin! Could it be that the reason why she said she liked me before was because we had such an entanglement in the previous life?!
My heart was throbbing uncomfortably. I felt like I had to take some compound salvia tablets to calm down. I wiped the sweat from my head. I looked at my bedroom and felt inexplicably a sense of security. The era in my dream was really too...
It scares me so much that I can't even breathe!
‘Dong dong dong’~
Zong Bao knocked on my bedroom door several times outside: "Whose name are you calling?"
"No one's." I responded weakly, and suddenly remembered something: "Zong Bao!!!"
"What do you want me to do?"
I put on my shoes directly and went to the ground. My legs were still a little weak. I stumbled a few steps and opened the door: "Zong Bao, I have something to ask you."
Zong Bao was drinking fresh milk from a box with a straw inserted. He looked at me and couldn't help but let go of his mouth: "Why are you so wet? Did you go swimming?"
I shook my head: "No, I was dreaming, Zong Bao, I dreamed about my previous life, I am a man!!"
Zong Bao took another sip of milk and looked at me: "Well, is it important?"
I scratched my head: "It's not about trivial matters, it's about me being a man, you know!"
"So what."
"I was a woman and a man in one life, so I am an intersex person in this life!"
Zong Bao looked at me with a dull expression. He didn’t know if he was frightened by my words. He put a little force on his hand and the milk in the box came out directly through the straw..."
"Hey, your milk is coming out!"
Zong Bao came back to his senses immediately, grabbed the straw in his mouth, glanced at me lazily, and turned around: "Boring."
I suddenly looked at him with a smile and said, "Why am I bored? Do you understand that this is a reasonable reasoning? Quickly wipe the floor with a rag. You are still drinking milk at your age."
Zong Bao walked to the living room and sat down directly. He took a tissue and wiped his hands without looking at me. He said lightly: "It's just a dream, a dream in the past tense. Even if you dreamed something, then
It's just a dream that has nothing to do with the present. It can neither help you nor give you any enlightenment..."
"It still gave me some inspiration, because I dreamed about Cheng Baize. It seems that he and I are not destined to be ordinary. I dreamed about him both times."
"So." Zong Bao raised his eyes and looked at me: "Do you owe him or he owes you? There is always a certain amount to repay. Is there any use in worrying about your dream?"
"I'm not entangled, I'm just talking about the fact that I'm intersex, do you understand what I mean?"
Zong Bao wiped his hands clean, took the mop and wiped the milk he had just spilled on the ground: "I don't understand."
I waved my hand: "Forget it, whether it's a dream from a previous life or something, anyway, as you said, it won't help me now. Knowing more will make me more tired. I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll change clothes and let's go to work.
." As I said that, I walked to the bed and took a look outside: "Zong Bao, it's snowing today. We have to leave early to sweep the snow in front of the store."
"Okay." Zong Bao responded from behind: "Don't drive today, the road is slippery and your skills are not good."
I curled my lips and said, "Then you still have your seat." Just as I was about to look away, I saw a woman in a red coat walking past my window. I was startled for a moment. The red color instantly reminded me of Xu Meijin's red dress.
The wedding dress, I frowned, waved my hand to myself, God, luckily it was just a dream!
‘Ling ring ring~~ ring ring ring~~’
The cell phone on the bedside rang at the right time, and I was startled again. I walked over and took a look, "Hey, Xiao Ke."
"Jiaolong, I didn't bother you, did I?"
He glanced at the time: "It's okay, but this ringtone still scares me. What's going on?"
"I have some good news for you! You will definitely be very happy after hearing it!"
"Cheng Baize is coming back?!"
I was excited for a moment, but suddenly I thought, it's impossible, it's not even a year yet, can he cultivate himself? Moreover, if he wants to come back, he has to call me first, but he can let me
I am particularly happy that Cheng Baize is back.
"It's not about Mr. Cheng. He needs two years. No, it's other good news. Guess again."
I was a little anxious: "I won't guess anymore. Please tell me what is going on!"
"Okay, okay, you know that Feng Shui Tianxia show. Sun Jiji never appeared for some unknown reason. The show has been off the air for a long time. Yesterday, the program team called me and said that they wanted to ask Mr. Cheng to do it.
Guests from Feng Shui World, do you think this is good news?"
I twitched my lips and said, "Whether it's good news or not, who do you want to participate in this show when you tell me so excitedly?"
"You!" Xiao Ke said on the other end of the phone very excitedly: "Just say that you are Mr. Cheng's apprentice. When the time comes..."
"Stop it, who is his disciple? I tell you, I don't want to be on TV. You can't even think about it. Also, even if I want to go, other TV stations won't use me.
, do you understand, what people want to invite is Mr. Cheng, not whoever is Mr. Cheng! And the most important point is that not everyone likes to be in the limelight like Sun Jiji. Onmyoji relies on real materials and words.
According to legend, it’s not a soft advertisement like this, you know.”
"But I think this is an opportunity, Jiaolong, how about I go?"
"Okay, I agree, then what are you going to talk about?"
"I...you teach me, I think this is an opportunity to promote my boss."
I sighed: "Xiao Ke, let me tell you this, rather than letting the TV station or the audience think that Cheng Baize is insincere, because everyone originally wanted to see him, it is better for you and me to just push him away. In this way, it will appear that Cheng Baize is not sincere."
It's more mysterious and unfathomable. Do you understand what I mean? I don't care about anything else. I don't want anything to go wrong in the two years since Cheng Baize was gone. Just listen to me and push the TV station off first. Don't worry.
It’s good not to be so public, because there are many victims who are really low-key, and they don’t like Onmyoji who are too public, do you know what I mean...” (To be continued)
