Return to 90 and start a career

"sister"

Li Manjun was very upset when he heard his sister's voice sounding like a thief, "What happened again? Are you at home?"

She looked at the caller number and saw that the call was coming from the old house in Haishi.

Li Lijun hummed and told her that the matter was resolved.

Li Manjun breathed a sigh of relief. He thought something had happened again. It seemed that Zhu Yaowei was reliable.

"It's okay. What day do you have a ticket for? I'll pick you up."

"It's the day after tomorrow, sister, you don't need to pick me up." Li Lijun first glanced at the sofa in the hall downstairs, and saw the man standing in front of the fireplace admiring the oil paintings on the wall, and then continued to whisper:

"Zhu Yaowei bought me a plane ticket. He is also going back to Rongcheng, and then we will come back together. Sister, should I give him the money for the plane ticket?"

But when I think about it, I feel so bad. “I originally planned to take the train back, but now I have to take a plane. It’s three times more expensive and it’s killing me.”

Li Manjun was a little surprised, "Why is he coming back? I don't even know."

Li Lijun was also at a loss, "I don't know either. Anyway, he said he was coming back. Maybe something happened."

"Okay, it's good to have someone to take care of you on the way. By the way, you will come back by plane from now on. I told you to reimburse you for the air ticket. Why are you so polite to me?"

"Sister, don't be so nice to me, you'll spoil me."

Li Manjun couldn't help but smile, "You are my sister, if I don't spoil you, who will you spoil?"

"I'll give Zhu Yaowei the air ticket money when he gets to Rongcheng. Just leave it alone and call me on the day of departure so that Aunt Guo can prepare your meal." Li Manjun warned.

Li Lijun nodded. He got into trouble today and was extremely well-behaved.

Before hanging up the phone, Li Manjun did not forget to tell her sister, "Give me something to eat. Stay away from people like Niu Li as much as possible in the future."

Li Lijun said she understood. Now she had vented her anger, leaving only the sadness of being betrayed.

Li Manjun didn't want her to continue thinking about this and said no more.

After hanging up the phone, I suddenly remembered that Li Lijun was afraid of the dark at night.

But just for one night, it shouldn’t be a problem if you turn on the light and sleep, right?

Obviously Li Manjun overestimated Li Lijun's courage.

It was already evening. Zhu Yaowei walked around to see that nothing was wrong with him, and shouted upstairs: "Li Lijun!"

Seeing her sticking her head out, Zhu Yaowei couldn't help but feel a little funny. Don't think he didn't hear her calling him upstairs.

Such good intentions are not rewarded.

"It's getting dark. I still have something to do here. If you have nothing to do, I'll leave first." Zhu Yaowei glanced at his watch. He had a social event in the evening.

Li Lijun nodded, "Okay."

Zhu Yaowei glanced at her, why was he lying on the railing, shrinking like a cat?

"Can you cook?" he asked curiously.

Li Lijun: "I'll go out to eat later."

"Okay, I'm leaving." Zhu Yaowei picked up the briefcase. If he didn't leave, it would be too late.

Before leaving, he looked back and saw that Li Lijun had run downstairs and was standing on the stairs looking at him.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt like she was hesitant to speak.

"No need to see her off, I know the way." Thinking she was going to see her off, Zhu Yaowei waved his hand and strode away.

The sound of a car's engine starting came from the gate, fading away.

The house suddenly became quiet, and the sun seemed to set instantly. The hall became dark in just a few seconds.

Li Lijun felt an inexplicable coldness on the back of her head, and goosebumps popped up.

Not daring to look back, he pretended to be calm and walked to the door of the lobby on the first floor and turned on the crystal chandelier.

The bright lights illuminated the hall brightly. Li Lijun patted her chest and turned on all the lights in the corridor on the first floor and the corridor on the second floor. Then she took her wallet and went out to have dinner.

After leaving the streets covered with parasol trees and hearing the unique noise of this city, Li Lijun felt that she was finally alive.

She came to the bungalow quite a few times, and she was already familiar with the roads here. She found a cheap fast food restaurant for dinner, bought some fruit at a fruit stall, and took a slow walk home.

After dinner, everyone went out for a walk. The newly deserted Wutong Avenue now had many pedestrians.

If you are popular, you will be in a good mood.

Li Lijun hummed a little tune and returned to her sister's old bungalow, put the fruit in the living room, and then closed all the doors and windows in the house, leaving only the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room open for ventilation.

Close the gauze curtains, feel so safe, and eat fruit while watching TV.

I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, the TV series "Bao Qingtian" was still playing again.

Looking up at the antique clock on the wall, it was already half past ten in the evening.

Li Lijun yawned, got up from the sofa and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.

When I lowered my head to find the remote control, the TV suddenly changed to weird background music, and a pale face suddenly appeared in front of me!

"Oh my god!"

Li Lijun was so frightened that she spoke a dialect accent from an unknown region, and her echoes filled the entire hall.

She sat down on the carpet, holding her head, and didn't dare to look for the remote control. She waited for the background sound on the TV to change to another one, guessing that the horror plot was over, and then looked for the remote control with half-squinted eyes and turned it off. television.

There was no sound, and the hall fell into dead silence. How could it feel even scarier!

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang suddenly in the middle of the night, and Li Lijun let out a low cry, feeling like she was going to cry.

What's more, don't come looking for her if there is a ghost!

The doorbell is still ringing, the more you press it, the more urgent it is.

Is it a human being?

Li Lijun took a deep breath, struggled to get up from the ground, went to the window, opened the curtains, and looked outside. She saw a dark figure. She was afraid that it was a bad guy, so she didn't dare to answer, and she was trembling.

"Li Lijun! Open the door!"

Li Lijun had never felt that Zhu Yaowei's voice was so kind.

He quickly opened the curtains and sliding door completely, ran out to open the door, and asked happily: "Why are you here so late? Did you leave anything behind?"

"You're very happy." Although the light at the door was dim, Zhu Yaowei did not miss the surprise in her eyes.

Li Lijun smiled awkwardly and led him into the house without retorting.

"Where do you live?" she asked curiously, following him, much closer than during the day.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but there was an extra person in the room, and Li Lijun suddenly felt that this big house became warm.

"Do you want some water?" she asked enthusiastically.

Zhu Yaowei took a general look inside the room. The curtains on all sides were drawn tightly, "Aren't you afraid of suffocating to death? It's such a hot day."

Li Lijun hurriedly opened all the curtains, and wow, it was indeed much cooler.

She poured him a glass of water and handed him the uneaten fruit, looking as if she was glad he came.

Zhu Yaowei lowered his head and smiled slightly. He didn't expect such a big person to be afraid of these things.

"My home is not far from here. I drove by here and found that the lights were still on in the house, so I came over to take a look."
