What happened again.
Chi Yan remembered what happened the night before, and suddenly felt a chill. After looking left and right, he lifted the quilt and sat up and got out of bed to turn on the light. I don't know where Ye Yingzhi went or when.
He had just climbed out of bed and walked to the table to take a sip of water, and before he could turn on the light, he heard a creaking sound of the door opening.
He thought it was Ye Yingzhi who came back, so he swallowed the water and said, "Yingzhi, are you back?"
But did not hear the other party's response.
Chi Yan felt a little murmured in his heart, and when he looked back, he saw a pair of bluish-white straight eyes.
There was something standing at the door looking at him, pale and without arms. Looking down... I can't see my feet either.
He suddenly felt a "squeak" in his heart, he forgot to breathe, he didn't dare to close his eyes, he didn't dare to look back, he just stared straight at the thing.
He didn't move, but the thing was just there watching him.
Chi Yan saw it move its mouth and make a vague "hissing" sound - as if the old radio signal was blocked.
I don't know how long this stalemate lasted, and Chi Yan could feel the cold sweat soaking through his T-shirt layer by layer. When he woke up, he found that his clothes had been changed. He was only wearing a large T-shirt and was well tucked under the covers. Without thinking, he could guess that Ye Yingzhi helped him change the clothes. Alcoholic clothes.
Suddenly the thing disappeared.
Chi Yan saw Ye Yingzhi standing at the door, and looked at himself calmly: "Why don't you wear clothes and stand with the door open?"
Chi Yan looked at him, her lips trembling, and she had lost the ability to respond.
Ye Yingzhi turned around and closed the door, walking towards him. He had a coat on his left arm, and it was obvious that he had just returned from outside, and he was carrying a kraft paper bag in his right hand. He put the paper bag on the table and shook his hand in front of Chi Yan's face: "Ayan, what's wrong?"
"Yes, yes..." A "ghost" was pressed between his tongue, but he was so frightened that he couldn't spit it out.
Chi Yan reached out and grabbed Ye Yingzhi's arm: "... I woke up and saw news that someone had died, and then I saw again... No arms, no feet..." He raised his head and looked at Ye Yingzhi , a pair of eyes filled with fear.
Ye Yingzhi pulled him to sit down on the chair in front of the table, silently patted his shoulder soothingly, and waited until Chi Yan calmed down a bit before opening the paper bag and taking out the lunch box inside. There are seafood porridge, steamed shrimp dumplings, steamed spare ribs, steamed chicken feet, quicksand buns and walnut buns, all of which are the most popular refreshments, but at the moment they are very tempting. He specially bought them from a popular Cantonese-style restaurant nearby. .
Ye Yingzhi opened the lunch boxes one by one, and the aroma and heat suddenly overflowed. Chi Yan couldn't help feeling hungry, and turned his eyes to the food on the table.
Food makes people instinctively feel safe.
Ye Yingzhi took out the chopsticks and stuffed it into his hands: "Eat it quickly, finish it first. You didn't eat anything at noon, I guess you'll be hungry when you wake up."
"...Thank you." Chi Yan whispered thanks, and began to eat slowly. As the shrimp dumplings entered his stomach, a warmth that belonged to the world gradually flowed to his limbs, warming his numb limbs, which were frightened.
Ye Yingzhi went into the bathroom to take a bath, and after a while, he came out wearing a bathrobe, and walked to Chi Yan's bed, took all his pillows and quilts down and put them on his own bed.
Chi Yan was drinking porridge, his eyes widened when he saw this, and he tried to swallow the porridge in his mouth and shouted, "Ye Yingzhi...?"
Ye Yingzhi's hair was still wet. He sat next to Chi Yan: "Don't worry, you can eat slowly. Sleep with me tonight."
His tone was very flat, as if he was talking about something unimportant, and he didn't cause the consequences in advance, but Chi Yan knew that the other party would take the initiative to make such a proposal because he saw how frightened he was just now.
He nodded and said again, "Thank you." This was the fourth time he had thanked Ye Yingzhi, and he didn't know what to say other than that. Although I don't know what happened recently, I always saw those things, but it is indeed my luck to meet such a good roommate.
Ye Yingzhi rolled her eyes and smiled: "No thanks, I should do it all."
Good people are like this, even if it is not their own business, they say "I should do it all". Chi Yan thought so while following Ye Yingzhi onto his bed.
The next day, everything was fine. Chi Yan went to report to the tutor as usual, and was told by the tutor that he would go abroad this weekend to attend several academic conferences one after another.
Chi Yan received a call from his father after he came out of the tutor's office. The content of the call broke his good mood for the day.
Chi Zhongyuan first asked him about his recent study and life at school, and then said on the other end of the phone: "Son, your cousin Du Lin called and said that you didn't go to see them for so long, and asked you to come over for dinner on weekends. You don't show up and don't face each other, you have time to come over this weekend."
"..." Chi Yan was stunned, hesitating for a while before saying, "Dad, no, it's not that I can't go, my mentor is asking me to follow him on a project, and now I'm just starting to do it, and the whole team is working overtime, even on weekends. Don't stop. It takes me more than an hour to go to my cousin's place, and even if I have a meal, it will take half a day. It's not appropriate to ask for leave at this time. I'll call my cousin and go see them when I have time... "
He is lying, his mentor will go abroad for a meeting this weekend, let him feed his sheep for a month, and work overtime for any project. But he could only put it off like that.
The older generation always put their studies first, and after hearing what he said, Chi Zhongyuan didn’t let him go anymore, he just said, “Okay, then you remember to call your cousin, they still miss you. When you're done, I'll buy something for your cousin, aunt, aunt, and the others to see them... "
Chi Yan said "Mmmm" for a long time before hanging up.
The cousin Dühring mentioned by the father was the son of his aunt.
My aunt is his grandmother's younger sister. According to my father, he often played with his cousin when he was a child, and they had a good relationship. They didn't move to City A until he was in high school because of his aunt's husband's job transfer. But even so, the two families did not stop contacting each other. They often called each other to greet each other during New Years and holidays. Cousin Du Lin also visited his house when he returned to H City. Chi Yan also met this uncle when he was a child.
Later, Chi Yan was admitted to the A University, and his parents were very happy. In the summer vacation of his senior year, they brought him to play nearby in advance, and visited his cousin's house by the way. At that time, my aunt's husband had passed away, my cousin was the only child, and there were only my aunt, uncle, aunt and their son who had just entered high school. The family of four lived in a three-story villa.
Their house is relatively old. It was bought by my aunt's husband more than 20 years ago through some connections. The design of the building structure and space is still relatively old-fashioned. It can be seen from many places that the house is old. The advantage is that the distance between the rooms is very large, unlike the houses crowded together in the current villa area, so it also looks very quiet and has a sense of independence.
After seeing them coming, the cousin and aunt were very happy and warmly entertained them. As a result, Chi Zhongyuan received a call during dinner that there was a problem with his work and he had to go back to deal with it immediately. Chi Zhongyuan originally planned to take his son to play nearby with his wife, and just wait until the school starts before sending him to report, but this plan was completely disrupted.
Cousin Du Lin immediately said that if you have something to do with your work, bring your sister-in-law back first, so that Xiaoyan can stay with me. Anyway, there are a lot of vacant rooms, so Xiaoyan just made up for his cousin's homework. When the school starts, I will send him there, Xiaoyan is also a big boy, and he can take care of himself, and it will save you all another trip.
At that time, Chi Yan wanted to see an aerospace science and technology exhibition in City A. The exhibition ended the day after tomorrow, so he agreed to stay at his cousin's house.
The house is said to have three floors, but the third floor is actually very small. One of the smallest rooms is used as a storage room, the other with windows is used as a guest room, and the other is set up as a Buddhist hall by a Buddhist aunt. In the center of the Buddhist hall is a shrine, which enshrines the statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva, as well as incense burners, fruits and snacks. The surrounding walls are hung with pictures of the Buddhas in the Sea of Clouds in the Western Paradise, and scrolls found by Han Shanwen.
Cousin, aunt, aunt, and cousin share a room, and they all live on the second floor. Chi Yan lives in the third-floor guest room. One floor, the room is not small, there is a big bed, a bathroom and a terrace, he is quite happy.
At that time, he had just finished the college entrance examination, and the school was only a few days away from starting, which was the most carefree time. His parents left the night before. He slept well at his cousin's house by himself. The next day, he and his cousin went out to see the exhibition. After walking around for a long time, he didn't go back until dinner time. He was very happy. . At that time, my cousin was also on summer vacation before school started. The two got along very well. After dinner, they had a late banquet and played games with my cousin until twelve o'clock. After a crazy day of playing, he was also tired. on. He slept so deeply that he didn't notice anything unusual.
After waking up in the morning, I received a call from my father and asked him to be sensible at his cousin's house. He honestly stayed at home for a whole day. He got up in the morning and went to the Buddhist hall to read Buddhist scriptures to his aunt who had bad eyesight. At noon, he helped his cousin make dumplings. Badminton, I'll be back at ten o'clock.
He slept alone at night, and woke up in a daze in the middle of the night, feeling that the air conditioner seemed to stop working, and the air in the room was hot and dry, as if it had stopped. In this sultry atmosphere, you can clearly feel that there is something slightly cold hugging him from behind.
