Chapter 10 Strange Poetry

The female colleague exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, Leilei, you always stare at people like this, don't you have a crush on someone else?"

This female colleague has an elephant body, an elephant waist, and elephant legs. The laugh was even more exaggerated, and the scream had a high pitch. As soon as she opens her mouth, there is no one within a radius of ten meters who cannot hear her. However, she didn't realize this.

Leilei was embarrassed to expose her loud voice and laughed awkwardly along with her, "Don't talk nonsense."

The female colleague's small eyes looked back and forth between Leilei and Song Xiaofan, spinning like a yo-yo. With this posture, anyone can understand it, let alone Song Xiaofan.

He put down his pen and looked up at Leilei. The star's face was stunned for a while, as if his eyes were unfocused, and then slowly moved away.

But this sight made Leilei fall deeply into it, and she smiled politely in return.

But Song Xiaofan had already turned away, he didn't say anything, and he didn't even care. His mind returned to the paper again, becoming focused and serious in the next second.

Leilei wanted to see, but his sideways silhouette blocked her sight. She was a little anxious, so she slowly stood up and tried to peek. But Song Xiaofan is a boy with a height of 1.78 meters and a burly figure. His body blocked the table and everything in the paper.

But the more this happened, the more Leilei's heart felt like it was scratched by a cat, itching.

Song Xiaofan seemed to have a secret, and she was shocked when she thought of this. How could she peek into the secrets of her crush? This was a sign of disrespect for him! In this way, even if they get together in the future, he will still feel dissatisfied with him. She has been secretly in love with Song Xiaofan for a day or two, and she must not let her success fall by the wayside because of something like this. Leilei hesitated, not knowing what to do.

She had been intensely curious about him since their first meeting. What happened at this moment made her want his secret even more.

Leilei felt disturbed when she saw the dense numbers and words on the computer, and she was completely unmotivated from her work.

The boss saw it and couldn't help scolding her: "Why are you so dazed at work? If you make a mistake, you will be in trouble."

"Oh." Leilei lowered her head and did not dare to look at the boss. She pretended to look at the computer, but the corner of her eye still focused on Song Xiaofan.

It was a tough time, but luckily I got off work in less than half an hour. Song Xiaofan rushed out of the office at the clock, his back looking in a hurry. Immediately afterwards, the female colleague and other salesmen left, and she was the only one left in the office. Leilei's heart beat fast because she wanted to do something bad.

Leilei was worried and walked out of the office to look around again. There were no other employees in the corridor in front of the door, and the boss had gone home for dinner. The company became extremely quiet, a bit scary.

She was dazzled by emotion, and driven by emotion, she walked to Song Xiaofan's desk with her long legs.

The drawer, which was usually tightly closed, unexpectedly opened a gap, enough for her to reach in and retrieve something. Really, if a person wants to do something, even God will help him. The note was under the drawer door, with one end lightly pressed against the iron lock, as if she was afraid she wouldn't see it.

Therefore, Leilei got the note easily. At first glance, there are black lines on it. The black thread was twisted into a coil and became a mess.

She held the note and looked left and right but couldn't see what it was, which made her feel strange.

There are some red lines pressed under the black lines, which are words written in red pen. It seems that Song Xiaofan first wrote the red letter and then crossed it out with a black pen. However, the black lines are not too dense, and the red letters are very prominent. If you take the trouble to identify them, you should be able to tell what words are written on them.

Leilei's eyesight is better than the average person, and she doesn't need to wear glasses when she works as a clerk. She held the notes up to the light through the back window and read them one by one. After some hard work, I realized that this was a somewhat tongue-twisting poem. She opened her red lips lightly and read out this poem: "A mountain hides a tree, and a tree hides a room. The room is a treasure, and the world shines with golden light." I didn't expect Song Xiaofan's literary talent to be so surprisingly good! She was amazed in her heart, and couldn't help but admire her own vision. It seemed that she had not seen the wrong person. However, although he and Song Xiaofan have been colleagues for several years, they have almost no communication. So she doesn't understand his family background. So she planned to ask a friend in the police station. After asking, it wouldn't be too late to confess her love to Song Xiaofan.

Leilei has a friend from society who works in file management in the archives room of the Public Security Bureau. He is generous and cheerful. Leilei thought she would help her, but she refused. Files involve personal privacy, and private inquiry will constitute an infringement.

Leilei started acting coquettishly, "Just help me! This is very important to me."

"You like her? So you asked me to investigate her social and family background?" the friend asked with a smile.

Leilei acquiesced.

But the friend still shook his head, "I can't break the law, I'm sorry Leilei!"

She forgot that not only was she generous, she was also an upright person.

So the matter was settled.

Zhu Lan heard this and said, "Yes, you can't break the law. Your friend did a good job."

Leilei said seriously: "But later, I found something from the note."

"What?" Zhu Lan asked.

She continued.

After Leilei left her friends, she started writing poems in her diary as soon as she got home. Several words in the poem have the same pinyin, but this is not strange. What makes people even more strange is the meaning described in the poem. The text of the poem seems very simple, but the meaning it wants to express is full of loopholes.

For example, if you hold up "One mountain hides one tree", how can a mountain hide only one tree? Okay, let’s just think of it as a tree on a mountain. But why use the word "hidden" instead of "长"? Is it to rhyme with the following words?

Another example is "a tree hiding a room" is even more strange. How could there be a chamber hidden in a tree? Does the word "room" here refer to something specific?

The meaning of the last two verses is very obvious. They express that the treasure will be a shining golden thing after it is seen in the world. As you can imagine, it specifically refers to gold treasure. The whole poem may be telling about a golden treasure, and also involves scenery and buildings such as mountains, trees and rooms.

But why did Song Xiaofan compose this strange poem?
  The riddle could not be solved, and Leilei became even more anxious. After that, she observed Song Xiaofan's every move more frequently, hoping that he would take the initiative to write down the meaning of the poem on white paper.

However, this was impossible. Song Xiaofan didn't even know that she had peeked at the paper and poems, and continued to write and draw on the white paper. Leilei also found that as long as he was not on a business trip, he would stare at the note in a daze just sitting in the office.

Song Xiaofan was even more obsessed with this matter than that. Leilei finally understood an even stranger fact!

　First update, I was originally going to write a short story, but it turned out that this story is very grand and interesting.
