"Xiaohui."
In Hong Kong City, in Kowloon Park in the early morning, Du Liwei walked to the stone bench under the warm light cut into pieces by the leaves. He looked at the burgundy-haired girl sitting on the stone bench, and squatted down, only to see her crying little face hidden in her hair.
"Xiaohui?" Du Liwei greeted, but the girl turned her face away and did not look at him.
"Why don't we... let's open a room?"
Xiaohui let out a snort, wiped away the tears on her face, and hit him with a smile: "Why are you like this, you want to take me to open a room as soon as we meet?"
"Hey, anyway, you definitely don't want to go home, and there are people in my family, so I can only open a room, and you can't sleep on the street."
Seeing that Xiaohui finally reacted, Du Liwei shrugged, sat beside her and leaned against her: "You, I'm really not afraid. Although the security here is okay, but you are a girl in the middle of the night, what should I do if something happens?"
"Nothing will happen." Xiaohui argued strongly, "there is a security booth at the door."
"This is not an example." Du Liwei's expression was very serious: "If you really want to go out for a walk alone, then you must call me, you must!"
Noticing that Du Liwei's expression didn't look like he was joking, Xiaohui pursed her lips: "It's not because of Dad..."
"Uncle Huang is also for your own good."
"What's the matter." Xiaohui curled her lips: "I don't want to be a baker, he insists on forcing me in as an apprentice..."
"He also said that he wanted me to have a good relationship with that young baker. Huh, he still looks down on you! I don't want him to scold me!"
Du Liwei smiled: "I'm a car repairman, my parents died early, and I came out to earn two meals after graduating from junior high school. It's normal to look down on me. As a parent, you always think about your children..."
"What are you talking about!" Xiao Hui slapped Du Liwei on the head fiercely angrily: "Why, you want me to hook you too!"
"How is it possible!" Du Liwei immediately hugged Xiaohui, kissed her forehead, and said, "I just want to say, don't get too stiff with Uncle Huang, you know that Uncle Huang has a bad heart."
"And Uncle Huang said that he wants you to have a good relationship, maybe it is really a good relationship, otherwise when you run away from home and your phone is turned off, he will think of me the first time, and asking me to come to you Uncle Huang also admits me and you. "
Although he may also hope that his daughter will meet better... But it's good for Du Liwei to know about it, so there's no need to say it.
Xiaohui hesitated and buried her head in Du Liwei's chest. Du Liwei stroked her hair and asked, "Then what are you going to do in the future? It's fine to refuse the arrangement, but if you don't have a goal, Uncle Huang will definitely bother you again."
Xiaohui in her arms was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "... I want to continue learning to draw."
"Huahua..." Du Liwei subconsciously repeated the sentence, and the two of them immediately fell silent. The lights of the street lamps fell on them, as if covering them with warm armor.
After a long time, Xiaohui raised her head, but there were no traces of tears on her face.
"Actually, being a baker is pretty good."
Xiaohui stood up and stretched, then turned around and bent over to look at Du Liwei: "Let's go for a walk, I haven't visited the park at night yet, I'll go home when I'm done."
Du Liwei nodded, and Xiaohui walked along the road holding his arm.
"The feeling at night is really different." Xiaohui leaned her head on Du Liwei's shoulder: "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would be afraid. I heard that many people died when the Kowloon Walled City was demolished, and there are many corpses buried here …”
"Don't talk about it, I'm actually scared too, and I'll definitely be the first to run away when something happens."
Xiaohui twisted Du Liwei's waist: "What about me?"
"Of course I ran with you in my arms." Du Liwei said hehe.
Walking into the park, Du Liwei suddenly said, "Go on and learn how to draw."
Xiaohui was slightly taken aback: "My dad..."
"I raise you."
Xiaohui chuckled: "You can take care of yourself, and you can take care of me, and I'll take care of you. The baker makes more money than the car repairer, right?"
"Actually, I'm going to change to a government job." Du Liwei said: "That job has high benefits, good salary, and housing subsidies. When the time comes, I will dye my hair back, and it will be no problem to support you to study."
"Why do you want to dye it back? The golden color is so pretty." Xiaohui complained, "What you said is true? Are you kidding me?"
"real!"
"What kind of work is that? Let's hear it."
"You'll know when the time comes, obediently figure out where to go to learn painting."
"Is it some kind of dangerous job?" Xiaohui suddenly became vigilant: "I've known you for so long, and you don't have any special skills other than car repairing. You have a rich woman to take care of you?"
"There's no rich woman with poor eyesight like yours." Du Liwei snorted, hugging Xiaohui to tease her.
"Ah, this place is outside, you still wet me?"
Xiaohui blushed and struggled, but she forgot to ask Du Liwei, and the two of them didn't pay attention to walking while they were fighting, so they strayed off the main road without knowing it, and slipped onto a small road that was not traveled by.
"Hey, is there a ghost stall?"
Xiaohui saw a food truck parked on the side of the road, steaming under the incandescent lamp hanging above the food stall, and the faint smell of food aroused the rhythm of the abdomen. A man in a jacket appeared to have just finished eating and left one item behind.
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have had dinner yet..." Xiaohui muttered.
Du Liwei rubbed his stomach: "I ran two parks to find you, and I finished digesting the shredded chicken rice that night, let's go for a late-night snack?"
"I don't have any money with me."
"I said I'll support you, naturally from now on." Du Liwei proudly took out his thin wallet: "Well... there is only one hundred yuan left... But is it enough to eat two plates of char siew rice?"
They walked over and saw the beautiful girl in the apron in the ghost stall.
"Yo, the proprietress is quite pretty."
"Du Liwei, what are you talking about!" Xiaohui twisted Du Liwei's waist again.
Du Liwei's smile was distorted by the pain: "I love you the most, Xiaohui, don't be jealous, come and have supper."
At this time, Du Liwei saw the white cup on the next stage and flicked it curiously: "Where did you buy it?"
"What to eat?" The proprietress ignored him and asked directly.
"Let me see... Boss, you didn't write down the price."
Du Liwei found that there was no price at all on the menu, and there were not many types of food on the menu. There was a sentence at the bottom:
"You can eat whatever you want, just order it."
"Look at that, Liwei, you can get a free meal by telling stories." Xiaohui was amazed to see the ghost sign posted on the side, which was written in eight languages.
"Hey, it's true! But I don't have a story to tell." Du Liwei thought it was some gimmick, and directly took out his wallet: "One hundred yuan, two servings of char siew rice, is it enough?"
The proprietress nodded, and Du Liwei continued to tease Xiaohui, telling her to forget those unhappiness as soon as possible.
When he turned his head to the side, Du Liwei saw an old man wearing a cotton padded coat with a cane coming up the path. He was obviously walking in the direction of ghosts.
This old man, come to eat supper so late
At the same time, in Tianlian College of Lianjiang City, not far from Hong Kong, a man wearing Ren Suo's clothes who looked like Ren Suo opened Ren Suo's home with a bunch of takeaways, entered the house and turned on the lights, and talked to Ren Suo. Suo said, "I'm back."
"Well, let's go do the laundry." Ren Suo, who was playing a game, said, "Did something happen?"
"No."
The avatar went to do housework, while Ren Suo watched the TV screen and turned on his phone and computer to record it.
He's still playing Ghost in the Night.
Because he found a serious problem, even if he knew the exact address of the ghost stall, he might not be able to find the ghost stall.
In Shenhai and Tokyo, it is obvious that there are large-scale search troops, but Ren Suo has never encountered them in the game, which shows how powerful the enchantment of "making the game go smoothly" in the ghost game is.
So, how sure is Ren Suo that he can meet the back of the ghost
So he chose to replay certain days, because during these few days of ghost walking, Ren Suo met normal people who benefited from ghost walking.
He asked the female shopkeeper to chat with them, and found out what these ordinary people have in common, to confirm how the 'encounter' in the ghost stall was triggered.
If only those who 'don't know how to walk ghosts' can encounter ghosts, then Ren Suo will be cool. However, he felt that this possibility was unlikely, because Dai Yuxing and Chi Hongjia knew exactly where the ghost was, and they could find them.
Then, Ren Suo discovered that the lucky ones who encountered ghosts, without exception, have one thing in common: they all have the habit of eating late at night, even if they are not night owls, sometimes they will suddenly get up in the middle of the night to cook for themselves possible.
"If this is the key to encounter ghosts, then I must be fine." Ren Suo thought to himself.
He attaches great importance to this opportunity, because in case the Goddess of Food summoned in the future really can't cook rice with the seasonings, then the ten-day walking ghost is the only chance, and if you miss it, you won't be able to eat the Goddess of Food's delicious meal .
It is already a certainty that he will find the ghost file on the tenth day, and what he is thinking about now is how to share this benefit.
"We need to get into the habit of eating late at night... They probably don't have this habit..."
Ren Suo thought for a while and called Dong Chengling.
No response at all.
Because it is 3 in the morning, it is normal for the phone not to ring in sleep mode. Dong Chengling has always had a regular schedule and will not let mobile phone messages disturb his rest.
Ren Suo then tried to call Gu Yueyan, at least he gave it to someone with a powerful skill ear bonder, Ren Suo was always generous to those who benefited him.
The phone went through.
"It's so late, what's the matter?"
"Do you want to come over for supper? I bought it back."
The opposite fell into silence.
Ren Suo is not surprised, now at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, someone suddenly comes to ask you to eat supper, and if you don't hang up the phone, it is considered that you have taken care of the relationship between the two parties.
"Just you and me?"
Hearing this response, Ren Suo was also slightly taken aback. It was within Ren Suo's expectation if Gu Yueyan refused immediately. Her question made Ren Suo think.
"Well, just me and you."
Ren Suo looked at the supper and felt that it would not be enough for three people to eat. Next time, he asked the avatar to buy more.
After hanging up the phone, Ren Suo asked loudly, "Did you wash your clothes?"
"It's been washed!" The avatar replied, "It's cleaning the dirt in the gap next to the washing machine!"
"how much longer?"
"It's done!"
"Then you put your things away, and then put the change of clothes on top of the washing machine."
After a while, the avatar said: "It has been done as you ordered."
"Then see you next time, thank you for your hard work tonight!"
