My Good Life

Chapter 8:

I always feel that anything, whether lies, big talk, or jokes, when Li Zhitong stares at me and tells it, it is the truth.

He is a predator lion. He eats his stomach and gives me some warning in his spare time. So when he spit out the two words "prey", I got up with goose bumps.

I was successfully frightened by him.

I was reflected in his lens like a frightened little deer, pursing his lips, holding his breath, and staring at him unblinking.

He lowered his eyes, turned his head and walked into the dangerous house. I stood behind him and felt that he was smiling. At least he thought I was funny...but when he looked back at me, there was nothing in his eyes. Smiling, still pulling like usual.

"What are you doing with pestle?"

His words stunned me. I was stunned for a while and replied: "Wait for the doctor to go back with me to treat Li and accompany you."

He frowned, his typical landlord was impatient: "Did you hit the mosquito in the ear when I was talking? You were expecting two doctors to protect you on the way back?"

I looked at him for a long time: "Otherwise?"

"wait for me."

So I quietly waited for him to finish the second half of the sentence, but I looked at him for ten seconds, and he didn't say another sentence. I kindly reminded him: "Wait for you?"

He squinted slightly, turned around, took his hands, leaned on the dilapidated wooden door, pushed down his glasses, looked at me with mentally retarded eyes, and slowly said, "Except when I get off work, you think, Here, what else can you and me do?"

Surrounded by bluestone stairs and dilapidated houses, there is a river in the distance, and a crowded scenic spot not far up. If my boyfriend here is my boyfriend, I can think of 10,000 things that I can do based on the amount of readings I have accumulated over the years. Warm, stimulating, everything, do whatever you want...

But Li Zhuang, I could only stare at him blankly, and after a long reaction time, I asked, "You let me wait for you to go home together?"

"Did you ask Li Peipei to turn your mind upside down yesterday? You are too stupid to understand Chinese?" He turned on the Diaoren mode, but I didn't go back in time because I was a little confused.

I'm not stupid, nor can I understand what Li Zhaoyi said to me, I just don't understand him.

I know how much Li Zhitong hates the word "together".

He not only hates himself being "together" with others, he also hates me and Li accompany Xiaolang Xiaomei to "together". He called us playing mahjong a crowd gambling, and calling us barbecue is an illegal gathering. I saw each other once, and the frequency of our gatherings plummeted. Only Li and I accompany us because we live on the same floor and we still have frequent contact.

Li Zhaoyi seems to want each of us to keep a distance from each other...or rather...

He wants me to keep a distance from everyone.

Yes, as I said before, I think Li Zhitong hates me in his heart because I broke his rules.

So, from the very beginning, my mind was never in the direction that he would "condescend" to go back with me in order to protect me.

"Come in." After Li Zhaotong said these two words, he dropped me, who was still confused, and walked into the dilapidated house.

I raised my head and glanced at the cracked walls above, and glanced at the empty path left and right. I felt a little guilty. I stepped into the door with a small step. In the next instant, the door closed with a "creak", and the whole room was inside. Immediately fell into the darkness.

There is no way out, and I can't see Li Zhaotong who is walking in front.

"Lee..."

I just started talking, when I heard a soft sound of "chao", the light burst out, and in the corner Li Yitong lit a candle. The light swayed on his face, making his facial features more three-dimensional. Suddenly, I felt in a daze that this is not a dilapidated house in an ancient town that has not been repaired in Ciqikou, but an ancient castle on the distant European continent, where the vampire count is living...

"Come here." The earl ordered me, successfully breaking my imagination.

"Do you know that every time you call me, your tone of voice is the same as Li Peipei called Mangzi?"

I raised my dissatisfaction, in exchange for Li Zhaotong's light glance: "Oh, then I treat you pretty well."

"..."

During the conversation, I walked up to him and just stood firm. Suddenly, the candle he held in his hand suddenly lit up, and the brilliance under his feet was a masterpiece. I looked down and saw a round circle shining with golden brilliance. Although it has been a while since I lived in an old residential house, it was the first time I stood in such a circle. I was very excited.

"Like an animation!" I just yelled this sentence, and the brilliance around me suddenly disappeared, and my eyes were no longer inside the dark dangerous house, but an underpass built by piles of stones. The underpass was damp with dim candles on both sides. And the dim environment did not obliterate my high spirits, my eyes kept sweeping around.

This is simply a place of inspiration!

As I looked around, I asked, "Where are we now? Or Ciqikou? This is underground? How deep did you get it? I'll just say how your Vampire Association sounds such a funny name to work in a dilapidated house. I want to be here. Waiting for you? Can I walk around by myself? I promise not to stop at anything!"

I was chattering with enthusiasm, and when I was breathing, I realized that I broke the tranquility here, just like a square dance in a library, so out of date, and Li Zhitong didn't stop me from letting me be quiet.

I turned to look at him, only to see that he was also looking at me.

Eyes meet, and there is a leaping candle in between.

He stared at me for a long time, as if seeing the other end of time and space through me, but after I sensibly reached out to cover my mouth, he blinked, and the misty veil in his eyes dispersed. He regained his former pride:

"Close the light in your eyes, don't flash blind the vampire underneath." He said, handing me the candle in his hand. "Take the light and go to the room inside the third candle in front. wait for me."

I suppressed my voice: "I'll just ask a question."

"Ok?"

"Can I walk around by myself?"

Then Li Zhaoyi smiled without a smile: "What do you mean? Prey."

I swallowed.

He turned around and walked into the darkness with no candles behind. The sound was like floating in the void, bumping back and forth in the dark tunnels, hollow and terrifying: "If you have the courage and fat, go and stroll. The underground office building of the Association is very big. , Have everything, take the candle, that is your pass." He paused, and I saw his figure turning to look at me before he was about to drown into the darkness, "Don't let it go out."

As if I had heard some terrible curse, my scalp numb, I immediately guarded the candle, and carefully moved to the room where Li Zhaotong said, there was a simple desk and chair inside, I sat down holding the candle, motionless Staring at the flames.

All my curiosity died at the moment Li Zhitong threatened me just now.

To save my life, not to die, I think this is the main reason why the ordinary and ordinary me survived in this dangerous world.

I sat staring at the flames for a long time. I was really bored. I took out my phone and there was no signal. So I started to play Destroy the Stars. After playing with two of them, I heard a soft "patter" and the white light above my head flashed twice. , I raised my head and saw the incandescent lamp hanging above my head turned on, and the room was bright white for an instant, as bright as an ordinary government office, and the dark and terrifying atmosphere disappeared instantly.

"Oh, I was scared to death. Why are you sitting here without turning on the lights?" A fifteen or six-year-old girl at the door asked me in confusion.

I responded with a twitching corner of my mouth: "No... no one told me that there are lights..." I said, "I thought you like to light candles here..."

"Who likes to light candles, it's smokey and boring. The corridor lights were broken last week, and people came to fix the candles that they couldn't fix." She walked in and threw her noodles on the table. The scent of small noodles floated all over the room immediately, and the spicy taste stimulated the taste and taste, making me a little hungry, "Let let, that is my office chair, you go sit there."

"Oh..." I moved away holding the candle.

"What are you doing with the candle, can't you see it after turning on the light?" she asked me.

"Isn't that... the candle is a pass?"

Little Mengmei was stunned for a while, then she opened the file on the table, turned out a landline in the corner, and made a call:

"Hello? The general secretary's office, I'm the front desk here, can you communicate with the director? Can you let him stop frightening newcomers, and explain to people every time that we are modern and law-abiding The work unit is really tired! I'm very busy, okay!...Don't you tell me? Don't you tell me, why should I talk to the director? Why do you want your secretary room to eat?"

Little Mengmei tore up with someone on the phone, so I observed a scolding war by a non-human institution at close range.

Then came to realize...

Damn Li Zhaotong! I didn't expect you to be such a naive vampire! Actually bullied me as a newcomer and didn't understand the rules of your suckers!

"Tortoise son, I'm so angry with my old mother." Xiao Mengmei shook the phone and cursed in dialect, "If it wasn't for the sake of his face, my old mother would not kill him today." She said. While opening the disposable chopsticks, he ate two bites of noodles. Xiaomian warmed her stomach and seemed to calm her heart. She looked up at me, feeling no longer as intense as she was on the phone.

"What business are you here for? Don't be afraid, we haven't drink human blood for a long time."

I know that their vampires don't drink human blood much now. In modern society, they have long created a blood powder granule with high nutrition, high value and high efficiency. Just like milk powder, a bag of blood is clean and pollution-free. The price is high or low, the taste is sweet and fishy, ​​and some can be drunk with sugar and salt. There is also a dispute between the vampires about the sweet and salty blood meal.

Of course, as a daily necessities, blood meal occasionally has some counterfeit and shoddy products in the market, which endanger the health of vampires, so they also have a very important responsibility to combat counterfeit and shoddy products.

Some time ago, I heard that Li Zhaodi and the others had seized a ton of fake and inferior blood powder and arrested a few criminals.

"I'm not here for business, I uh...I'm here waiting for your Director Li to get off work."

When Little Mengmei heard it, her eyes lit up: "Wait for the director to go home together?"

"Well, I'm his neighbor. Today is a bit special, so... uh..."

It’s okay if I don’t explain. As soon as I explain, Little Meng’s eyes are getting brighter and brighter. I don’t know how to tell, so I just shut up and let her look at me up and down, and then say to me while eating noodles:

"Oh, our director is good everywhere. He just loves to scare people. Many times, people who come to do business are so scared that they dare not say a few words to us, because they are afraid that we will eat them. They are less troublesome, but they didn’t expect to increase the difficulty of our work, and how to gain their trust. Miss neighbor, if you have the opportunity, talk to our director."

I'm going to say it's better than you say it yourself...

I smiled, noncommittal, and listened to her other complaints.

It’s amazing. I’m a manga writer who started drawing at home as soon as I graduated. I’ve never been to any company. I never thought that one day, I would listen to one in a place where I don’t know how many meters underground. The vampire and I complained about work troubles.

Little Mengmei said, I don’t know how long it has been. Maybe it’s time for me to go to bed at night. I closed my eyes on the chair, and the sound of her babbling was always in my ears. Slowly, my ears babbled. The female voice became another voice.

This voice is obviously more alarming. She seems to be in a sweltering and hot place. She has been walking and shuttles among the crowds. Everyone passing by is filled with sadness and despair. The atmosphere is sad and hopeless. Just ask: "Where is my child? Have you seen my child? He is a little boy in blue clothes. Have you seen him?"

The world was silent, and she was the only one who kept searching.

Suddenly, there was a "boom", the sky broke and the earth fell, and a stone fell on top of her head. The crowd began to scream, and there was chaos. She could only scream desperately in the chaos: "Hey! Hey!"

She yelled louder and louder, and she yelled more sternly, tearing my eardrums every time. However, after a loud whine, the world suddenly turned into darkness.

"Su Xiaoxin."

I heard someone calling my name.

I opened my eyes and Li Zhaotong was standing in front of me. He looked at me, his eyes were so calm, and he formed a sharp contrast with the panic in my dream.

"I...have a nightmare." I said, sitting up, only to find that my palms and fists were aching, and my back was full of cold sweat.

He pulled a chair, sat down next to me, holding his hands on his legs, looking at me: "Tell me." The confident expression seemed to be worth mentioning in front of him, no matter how terrible things were in the world. same.

So, beside him, I feel inexplicably confident that this nightmare is really not worth mentioning.
