The ghost story that Qiu Yibai told was actually something Shen Ningxin had heard a long time ago.
The routine is quite old, and you can basically guess the subsequent plot development if you know the beginning, but Shen Ningxin didn't say it directly in order to cooperate with her, and still listened intently.
Until Qiu Yibai finished the last sentence, she nodded hurriedly and said, "It's terrifying."
She guessed that Qiu Yibai's intention should be here.
It must be to scare her, otherwise she wouldn't tell her any ghost stories at night.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Yibai's voice came from the "fortress".
Different from the tone of the negative test when he told the story just now, it is a little proud and ridiculed now.
"Is it that scary?" she said, "Shen Ningxin, you are so old and still afraid of ghosts."
Just give a pole and start to climb up.
Shen Ningxin didn't want to bother with her, so she nodded her head and admitted, "Yes, it scared me to death."
With such a simple sentence, it is estimated that she will be satisfied for a while.
She sighed silently in her heart, sighing that she was really coaxing a child, Shen Ningxin yawned, and then hugged the doll in her arms even harder: "Mr. Qiu, since the story is over, I will go to sleep. "
"Aren't you scared?" Qiu Yibai was taken aback when he heard the words, "Can you still sleep?"
"It's alright." Shen Ningxin nodded, "Mr. Qiu, call me if you have anything..."
After speaking, there was no sound.
After a long while, Qiu Yibai slightly propped up his body and glanced in her direction. After seeing that the man was sleeping soundly, he immediately withdrew his gaze a little unhappy.
With a cold snort, he shrank his feet outside the quilt, turned over and prepared to sleep.
"… "
Shen Ningxin woke up suddenly in the early morning.
The food at night was a bit salty. She was so thirsty before going to bed that she drank more water, and now she suddenly wanted to go to the toilet.
The person next to him has stopped moving now, perhaps sleeping soundly.
Shen Ningxin was afraid of waking her up, so she didn't turn on the light, she got up slowly, picked up her phone and walked forward in the dark.
Halfway through, I almost tripped over something.
It was only then that she remembered that their suitcases seemed to be placed nearby.
With a helpless sigh, Shen Ningxin had no choice but to turn on the phone quietly to provide herself with light.
In fact, she had walked quite a lot, and now she had come to the side where Qiu Yibai slept, which was very close to the toilet.
victory is in sight!
She breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to lift her foot to continue walking, but out of the corner of her eye suddenly caught a glimpse of Qiu Yibai on the bed flicking.
As if she was startled, she immediately sat up straight and turned on the light, with a visibly frightened expression on her face.
Shen Ningxin was also frightened by her, so she slowed down and quickly explained to her, "Mr. Qiu, it's me!"
"Oh..." After a long while, Qiu Yibai over there finally opened his mouth and asked her in a low voice, "Shen Ningxin, what are you doing when you don't sleep at night?!"
with resentment.
Shen Ningxin couldn't help laughing: "I just went to the bathroom."
"What about you, Mr. Qiu, haven't you slept yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Yibai over there was silent for a few seconds, and after a while he reluctantly squeezed out a lie from his mouth: "I fell asleep a long time ago, but I just woke up when a bug jumped on me. ."
In other words, I wasn't frightened by you.
It's not that he has been scared to sleep since he told the ghost story just now.
Simply.
Shen Ningxin sighed, without piercing her, then nodded and walked quickly to the bathroom.
After that, he came back quickly, lay back on the bed and gently pulled out a small gap in the fortress.
He got closer, leaned over and looked at Qiu Yibai over there, and whispered to her, "Mr. Qiu, if you have anything, please tell me."
"I've always been here."
So... don't be afraid.
What she said was really ambiguous.
At midnight, the whole body was surprisingly quiet, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, not to mention Shen Ningxin's serious and gentle words.
Like a firework, it suddenly exploded in the bottom of my heart, causing the air around me to gradually become hot and hot.
Qiu Yibai's ears turned red unconsciously.
Fortunately, the night was used as a barrier, so I finally didn't lose face in front of this person.
"Okay, okay, I understand." After a while, she nodded with a blushing face. In order to cover up her embarrassment, her tone inevitably subconsciously increased, "Go to sleep now."
"Okay." Shen Ningxin noticed that she was shy, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
"Then I'm going to bed." She then said, "Mr. Qiu, good night."
"Well, good night." Qiu Yibai nodded and raised his hand subconsciously to restore the gap.
Halfway through the tinkering, I suddenly remembered something, and the action didn't go on.
Forget it, just keep it that way.
Also good.
The night is long.
What happened just now was just an episode, Shen Ningxin didn't care too much, and quickly fell back asleep.
After that, for some unknown reason... She actually had that dream again.
In the dream, it is a river.
The river water was cold and smelled bad, like a snake wrapped around her body and slowly spitting letters, tightening little by little and spreading, blocking her breathing and blocking her vision.
The only thing left is hearing.
The only thing that can be heard is the sound of the turbulent river and the laughter of the gang.
The laughter was unpleasant, and it seemed to pierce her eardrum when it entered her ears, and it was like an invisible big hand, pushing her hard in her dream, constantly sinking and falling.
She couldn't call for help, she was dying.
Shen Ningxin trembled uncontrollably in her dream, and her thoughts were surprisingly chaotic.
Want to catch something, but can't catch anything.
It was hard to catch something, but it was too small.
Shen Ningxin gave up the struggle and let herself fall infinitely in the river, letting the cold touch gradually engulf her.
She thought to herself that she might die in a dream today.
was thinking.
With a movement of his fingers, he suddenly touched something.
She was stunned for a moment, and the urge to survive became stronger again, so she subconsciously grasped it tightly.
And this time, she finally got a response.
It was a hand, I don't know whose hand, but it was warm enough and strong enough to pull her up with force and lead her to escape the nightmare that she could not escape.
When we got to shore, the sky was already bright.
The sun is gradually pouring down from the sky, with a warm breath and a good smell.
Shen Ningxin slowly opened her eyes.
The doll in her arms has been deformed by her pinching, and it is lying on the side dry at the moment, as if reminding her how terrifying the dream was.
As soon as he turned his head, it was still the tall fortress built by Qiu Yibai.
Everything is no different from bedtime.
The only difference was that Qiu Yibai reached out from the small gap and grabbed her hand tightly.
"… "
After roughly having breakfast, everyone got on the bus in order and prepared to go to the next location.
Shen Ningxin didn't sleep well last night, she yawned subconsciously as soon as she sat down.
Turning his head again, Qiu Yibai, who was beside him, even hit her in sync.
Shen Ningxin was stunned when she saw this, and she felt apologetic in her heart.
It was she who caused Qiu Yibai to not sleep well last night.
For this trip, she brought a doll that she often holds on weekdays. She thought she would not have nightmares anymore, but she didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, and the nightmares still came as scheduled.
Maybe she was too noisy and disturbed Qiu Yibai, but when she opened her eyes in the morning, she realized that this person was holding her hand at an unknown time.
Judging from her expression, she should have woken up a long time ago. When she saw her getting up, she subconsciously complained to her angrily, saying, Shen Ningxin, why are you so dishonest when you sleep at night.
It's all blue now, and at first glance, it seems that I haven't slept well.
Shen Ningxin was about to die of guilt.
Not knowing what Qiu Yibai heard last night, she hurriedly asked this person while she was washing.
But it didn't work, this person was probably so angry with her that she refused to reveal a word.
Shen Ningxin had no choice but to give up, and then apologized several times in a row, and finally managed to coax the person well.
There are not too many places to go to today, basically just browse a few attractions, and then go to the souvenir shop to buy something, the trip can basically be over.
Because she didn't sleep well last night, Shen Ningxin didn't play well all day today, and Qiu Yibai was the same.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but sighed, feeling really guilty, so she thought to buy something for Qiu Yibai quietly when she was shopping for souvenirs.
Finally got to that time.
Because it is in the grassland, the souvenir shop usually sells milk slices, milk tea, beef jerky and so on.
At the checkout, I also specially divided two bags to pack, ready to give it to Qiu Yibai as an apology when I got in the car.
Thinking like this, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Qiu Yibai not far away.
Then I found out that she had bought it and was about to check out.
Shen Ningxin stood on tiptoe, wanting to see what this person bought, and whether there was any repetition with herself.
As a result, when she looked at it, she found that there was nothing in front of her.
It was as if she was holding a gadget in her hand, and she was holding it too tightly, and Shen Ningxin couldn't see what it was.
But as long as you don't buy duplicates.
Shen Ningxin nodded, then withdrew her gaze.
A few minutes later, everyone gathered in front of the bus, the car started up again, and set foot on the way home.
Everyone's residences are scattered in various communities, and it is not realistic to send them back one by one, so in the end, they decided to return to the company first, and they can go down if they want on the road.
The bus stopped and went like this, and finally reached its destination.
As soon as Shen Ningxin walked over with her small bag on her back, she saw that many of her colleagues were picked up by someone, and if no one picked up, she also had a car. She got into the car with her child and quickly disappeared from sight.
She alone has nothing.
Seeing that the bus was about to run out, Shen Ningxin said goodbye to her colleagues and was about to turn around to catch the bus.
But before he could make any move, he saw Qiu Yibai suddenly following him.
With a rare calm tone, he asked her, "Shen Ningxin, how are you going to go back?"
"Take the bus." Shen Ningxin said.
As soon as the words fell, Qiu Yibai twitched the corners of his mouth in dissatisfaction: "You are not too troublesome."
"I'm going home too," she said afterward. "Anyway, you live close to me, so come along."
It turned out that he came to invite her.
This person is not angry with her anymore.
For some reason, Shen Ningxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking that she could give Qiu Yibai a souvenir at this time, Shen Ningxin nodded and got into her car.
Arrive at your destination soon.
Shen Ningxin finished packing her things, thinking that the time should be right, and handed the bag of souvenirs forward.
He raised his lips sincerely, and said in a very light tone, "Thank you, Mr. Qiu for sending me back, and thank you for taking care of me these days. I have nothing to say, so I just bought something for you."
"If you don't dislike it... just accept it."
Very sincere.
Qiu Yibai paused after hearing the words, stared at her for a long time, but still did not refuse, raised his hand to accept it.
Shen Ningxin quickly became happy when she saw this, and then thanked her again, and turned around just to leave.
But before he could take a few steps, Qiu Yibai, who was behind him, suddenly called out her name again.
The tone is quite serious and serious, as if to explain something important.
When Shen Ningxin heard the words, she stopped and hurriedly turned around and replied, "Mr. Qiu, why..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Qiu Yibai holding a round wooden pendant in his hand.
The sun was about to go down at this moment, and only a few ray of light shone down the horizon, and it looked very nice with the pale golden clouds.
And Qiu Yibai was standing in the afterglow at this moment, leaning on the car with his waist and legs, his beauty was indescribable.
Shen Ningxin was stunned for a while, but it took a while before she finally regained her senses.
Just as he was about to speak, he was taken a step ahead by Qiu Yibai in front of him.
She said, "This is for you."
After speaking, she immediately raised her hand and placed the small pendant lightly in her palm.
Shen Ningxin looked down and suddenly remembered that this was the amulet introduced by the tour guide and them at that time. It was engraved with a hero who was admired by thousands of people.
It is said to maintain good health, peace and joy.
When she realized this, Shen Ningxin felt a warm heart.
"I didn't want anything at the time, so I bought one when I saw this, thinking that it might be suitable for you." When he looked up, Qiu Yibai was also looking at her.
The cheeks were slightly reddish by the sunlight, and the color of the sky was also stained on the ears: "I hope I can bless you."
"Stop having nightmares."
