Chapter 166 Hungry Ghost Festival II
After learning a lesson, Xiao Yining restrained herself a lot. Whenever she saw something later, she just silently cursed, but she didn't say a word.

The Ghost Festival is indeed a big day for ghosts. The ghosts of ghosts that are usually very rare to see are almost everywhere today.Although there are not as many people as there are on holidays, you can still see two or three people squatting on the streets and intersections where people are burning paper.

Xiao Yining kept her mouth shut, just took a few glances along the way, and returned home safely.

She is safe here, but some people have trouble over there.

As usual, He Jiayin's colleague Chen Lulu worked overtime until ninety o'clock before packing up and leaving the company.

The topic she chose was entertainment-related, and evenings are the time when these entertainment news breaks. Because of this, she is one of those people who goes to work late and gets off work late. It is normal to get off work at [-] o'clock, and the number of times she stays up until midnight is Quite a few.

Compared with He Jiayin, Chen Lulu's materialistic beliefs are obviously not very firm. Although she is not very timid, and she is more or less accustomed to walking at night, in the festive atmosphere of the Ghost Festival, where there are lights everywhere Under the background, Chen Lulu unconsciously speeded up her steps.

At this time, many people who burn paper have completed their worship and gone home, leaving only many black circle-shaped traces on the roadside, like one after another dark and deep dry wells.

Although Chen Lulu was very careful, her highly myopic eyes were obviously not enough to support her in avoiding all the black marks.By accident, she stepped on an ash pile.

"Ouch..." The word "I'm sorry" was already on her lips. Chen Lulu hesitated for a moment, feeling that she was a little crazy to apologize for such ashes, so she swallowed it.

She walked forward in a hurry, but within two steps, the street light in front of her suddenly went out.It startled her.

Behind her, a gust of wind blew, blowing over the ash heap that had been stepped on just now, extinguishing a few sparks buried deeply.The ashes seemed to be carried by a whirlwind, spinning around in the air.In that unknowable and invisible world to ordinary people, a few shining coins fell into the palm of an outstretched skinny hand.

The old man, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, was holding a few pieces of money and seemed a little dissatisfied. His already bad face turned even darker.The old man turned his head, looked at Chen Lulu in front of him, and walked slowly behind Chen Lulu.

It didn't make any big moves, it just stretched out a hand and gently pressed Chen Lulu's left shoulder.

As if feeling something, Chen Lulu turned around sharply. As she moved, a small flame-like light above her left shoulder shook as if blown by the wind, and then went out.

Chen Lulu stopped and took a breath while covering her pounding heart.Her eyes met those of the skinny old man, but she saw nothing and turned back.She saw that the street light seemed to be broken and had no intention of turning it on again. She hesitated for a few seconds, picked up her bag, quickened her pace, and rushed over at a trot.

If there are people with spiritual eyes like Xiao Yining present, they will see that after the moment just now, the light around Chen Lulu's body is obviously much weaker and dimmer than other people's.

Chen Lulu returned home safely. When she entered the door and saw the warm light on the porch, Chen Lulu finally let go of her long-held breath.

She is a girl who lives alone and always keeps a small lamp in the house.There is also a night light that is always on when sleeping at night.Although this is not so energy-saving and emission-reducing, Chen Lulu also tried her best to buy energy-saving night lights with low power consumption. But in order to allow herself to sleep peacefully, she decided to save elsewhere, but she should not force herself to change this habit.

As a social worker who works overtime and does daily routine, good sleep quality is really important.Chen Lulu also tried sleeping without a night light.As a result, she began to feel inexplicably flustered from the moment she lay on the bed and closed her eyes.It was as if there was something lurking and watching in the invisible darkness, and her eyes were still turning gently under her closed eyelids, still unable to calm down and enter a soothing and peaceful state before going to bed.

After trying this several times, Chen Lulu decided not to embarrass herself.

To save energy and reduce emissions, you can use less paper towels and use shopping bags instead of plastic bags when going out.But sleeping with the lights off is out of the question.

It was already very late. Chen Lulu quickly washed up and changed into pajamas. She read news and hot topics for a while as usual, and then refreshed the latest variety shows and dramas before lying down on the bed.Social workers like Chen Lulu who work overtime often have a bad habit - the later they get off work, the more late they stay up.

In fact, you are often very tired when you get off work late. At this time, taking an early rest is the right choice.But people always hope that they have some independent time of their own. Players like Chen Lulu, who has to keep their mobile phones open 24 hours a day and can contact people at any time if they have questions, can easily enter a compensatory state of staying up late at night. .

In other words, she must enjoy doing whatever she wants in the dead of night, with no time to work at all.Moreover, the busier the work, the more disgusting the partners during the day, and the more time it takes to compensate for oneself at night.Although it was difficult to get up the next day and she even needed coffee to stay alive, it was still difficult for Chen Lulu to have self-control in this matter, knowing that a vicious cycle would form.

After playing with her phone on the bed for a while, she finally felt sleepy beginning to fall.She glanced at the time on her phone and saw it was already 01:30 in the morning.If we calculate based on getting up at 08:30 tomorrow, we can still sleep for seven hours.

Well, not too little.Although it was less than eight hours, seven hours was enough.

After completing the mental calculation, Chen Lulu put down her phone with satisfaction and retracted herself into the quilt.

On the night of the Ghost Festival, Chen Lulu lit a night lamp as usual and fell asleep.

In the night, the night light in the room was emitting a warm light, but Chen Lulu, who was sleeping, frowned slightly, and then turned over again, as if she was not sleeping so peacefully.

"Oh my god, I'm late!"

Chen Lulu glanced at her phone and saw that it was already nine-twenty in the morning.

Almost instantly, she woke up with a fright.

"Did my alarm not go off? Or did I press it when it did?" With no time to think about this, Chen Lulu decided to get up immediately. She pushed the quilt hard... but it didn't move.

I pedal, I pedal, I pedal again!
"Oops." Chen Lulu's foot hit the foot of the bed. She screamed in pain and opened her eyes.

Ok?
She reached for her phone in confusion.

Two forty.

Do you ever dream that you are late?That's enough. Seven hours of sleep isn't too little, so it's not a big problem.

Chen Lulu took a deep breath, relaxed her nervous mood, closed her eyes again, and quickly fell asleep again while her sleepiness was still lingering.

When the breathing of the person on the bed gradually became slower and longer, a small black shadow slowly swayed for a moment under the shadow of the curtains by the window, and Chen Lulu on the bed frowned again.

 Many of my friends are the kind of people who sleep with lights on.

  It's been too late to go home these two days, and the update has become late~ But I remember the time~
