Chi Yingxue's deepest nightmare was at home.
The four partners suddenly hesitated.
Here lies Xiaoxue's greatest fear, and perhaps, the secret he doesn't want to be touched.
The man with the car key was the first to recover from the daze, and further asked, "Are you here to find the young master?"
The long end of doubt drew Xu Wang's attention back, and he hurriedly pulled out a harmless smile: "We are his friends, come to find him... play."
He gave a general and almost perfunctory answer. He didn't want to be happy anymore. He was very happy and invited them to the room behind the chessboard table.
"Hey," was unwilling to carry the pruning shears, his thin face was pulled down, and it grew longer, "This plate is not finished yet."
Wu Sheng glanced at the chariots, horses and guns on the chessboard, and knew why this one was not happy. The chess situation was already one-sided, and the big brother of the pruning shears would win.
"You, it's more important to play chess, or it's the young master's friend, I can't tell the difference." The car key gave him a blank look, then turned to look at the four of them with enthusiasm, "I'm the driver of President Chi, The surname is Zhang, that's Lao Peng, who makes trouble with flowers."
"Gardener." The thin face gritted his teeth to justify his name.
The four partners don't care about his career, they care more about the CEO Chi that the driver said.
Is it Chi Zhuolin? Or... Chi Yingxue's father
There is no way to judge, Chi Yingxue has never mentioned anything about his family, and they know only one Chi Zhuolin about his social relationship. As for the composition of the family and the situation of the parents, they are all at a loss.
Driver Zhang didn't listen to Xu Yuanding's protest at all, he opened the door and invited four people in.
Although it is an upside-down room facing south and north, the room is clean and tidy, and the space is very large. There is a set of sofas that are very comfortable to look at, and fresh fruits are placed on the coffee table.
This is a living room. If you want to come here for a long time, it should be spacious and bright.
Only now, the light is as dark as the outside, no, it is darker than the outside, the thin moonlight penetrates the window, and the brightness has dropped a few times. You have to widen your eyes to see the floor and furniture clearly, so as not to bump into each other.
"Uh, Brother Zhang," Qian Ai smiled politely at the other party, not knowing if the other party could see clearly, "Can you turn on the lights in this room?"
"Oh," Brother Zhang also smiled at him, a little apologetically, "I'm afraid not, there are no lights here."
Qian Ai was stunned, suspecting that he had heard it wrong: "No lights?"
Brother Zhang nodded, his expression was very natural, and he didn't seem to think it was a problem: "Yes, there is no light."
Xu Wang and Wu Sheng, who had just sat on the sofa, looked at each other, and then Xu Wang leaned forward and asked politely, "Brother Zhang, is this room without lights, or is it all here..."
"There are no lights in the whole house." Peng Yuan Ding came in, a little impatient, as if he thought he kept asking questions.
The driver glared at him: "You're taking gun medicine. When can you change your unwelcome stinky temper."
Peng Yuanding was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth, sullen in his chest, decisively gave up his plan to enter the door, turned around and sat back at the chess table at the door, and played with himself!
After the driver finished talking about the gardener, he sat down on the sofa opposite the four companions, and put on a warm and hospitable smile: "Our house is disturbed by lights. It should be dark at night."
Xu Wang fixedly looked at him, but did not see any flaws.
He didn't mean to be funny or to scare people, he seemed to think so from the bottom of his heart, so he smiled like an uncle next door, and every crow's feet at the corner of his eyes was kind.
But the more it does, the colder it gets.
There are no people in this world who are uneasy about lights. Even if there are such people, when facing visitors, they should know that this is not in line with social common sense. There is no reason to say it so naturally, just like eating and drinking water.
"Any guests?" A female voice came from the door.
The four partners raised their heads, a middle-aged aunt, dressed simply, with a slightly fat body, but more friendly.
"Sister Chen, you came just in time," the driver immediately got up and said, "They are the young master's friends, please help me and I will tell the young master."
"Okay, let's go." Sister Chen was kind, she looked simple, and her voice sounded warm.
The driver walked on the front foot, and Chen's wife was busy on the back foot: "Wait a minute, I'll make tea."
Xu Wang wanted to say no more trouble, but before he opened his mouth, Sister Chen had disappeared.
In the huge, dark room, there were only the four of them left, as well as the gardener Peng, who was playing the game alone outside the closed door.
"Captain, can he really find Chi Yingxue?" Kuang Jinxin asked worriedly, keeping his voice very low, so as not to alarm outsiders.
Xu Wang shook his head, the answer was almost unsuspense: "Impossible, which level have you seen, you can pass the exam while sitting and eating two bites of fruit."
Wu Sheng had already got up and "visited" the room, checking everything from furniture to furnishings, not missing any corners.
Qian Ai was so heartbroken that he stretched out his hand and picked up a fruit in the fruit bowl. He didn't really dare to open his mouth, he just thought, smell the smell, wake up and wake up.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I pinched it, the fruit was deformed, and it was directly covered with sticky hands.
"I'll go," Qian Ai whispered, "what the hell."
Xu Wang and Kuang Jinxin approached, and the latter reached out and touched the "fruit remains" on his hand and put it under his nose to smell it: "It seems to be... cake."
"Old money," Xu Wang looked at the fruit bowl, "pinch another one."
Lao Qian was stunned: "Why?"
Xu Wang said: "Verify whether it is accidental or comprehensive."
Lao Qian: "Why me?"
Xu Wang: "Whoever flirts first, takes full responsibility."
Qian Ai: "… "
In life without love, classmate Qian squeezed all the melons, fruits, pears and peaches on the plate. Without exception, they were all cream cakes, but they were made very realistic. Fruit is not bad.
Fortunately, there were tissues next to him. Qian Ai took out a few, and while wiping his hands, he muttered incomprehensibly, "This rich man eats strange things..."
"Come here." Wu Junshi suddenly called in a low voice from the corner of the room.
The three quickly got up and walked over.
Standing in front of a fully automatic fish tank, Wu Sheng was fascinated by the turbid water and the shadows swimming in the water.
"Isn't it just a few small fish?" Qian Ai didn't know why.
A strong light hit the glass of the fish tank—Wu Sheng turned on his mobile phone flashlight.
"Damn..." Qian Ai said in a speechless voice.
Instead of fish swimming in the muddy water, there were many tadpoles that had just grown their hind legs. They held their long tails and scurried in the muddy water like headless flies.
In the wall of the fish tank where the strong light is directly shining, something is suddenly attached to it.
The four partners were startled, and even Wu Sheng's hand shook, until the light source was fixed again, and they could see clearly that it was a frog.
Before they could recover from the weirdness of "raising frogs in a fish tank", the frog suddenly opened its mouth wide and swallowed all the tadpoles that were about to swim past it!
"What are you doing—" Seeming to find the light of the mobile phone, Gardener Peng, who was sitting at the door, shouted rudely.
Wu Sheng hurriedly turned off the phone.
Xu Wang responded cooperatively: "It's okay, our thing fell on the ground, and we have already found it."
The four partners crept back onto the sofa, looked at each other, and said nothing for a long time.
Strange.
There's no big problem here, but it's just weird. It looks normal everywhere at first glance, and it's weird everywhere if you look closely.
"Captain," Kuang Jinxin saw the crushed "fruit" in the fruit bowl again, hesitated, and said, "Xiaoxue likes to eat cakes."
"Well," Xu Wang patted his head, both to comfort his teammates and to calm himself, "I know."
The cake in the fruit bowl can confirm at least one thing, here, there is indeed a world related to Chi Yingxue.
But why cake disguised as fruit...
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Sister Chen came in with tea and politely put a cup in front of everyone. Her movements were very gentle, just like her whole person. When people looked at her, they didn't realize it. Relax.
After the tea was delivered, she stood beside the sofa, standing in a regular manner, always listening to orders.
Xu Wang hurriedly said, "Sit down too."
Sister Chen waved her hand and said with a smile, "No, I'll just stand."
Xu Wang was helpless, half-joking and half-joking: "You are standing, we don't have the nerve to drink."
After a lot of coaxing and persuasion, Sister Chen finally sat down. Like the driver Zhang, her expression and attitude were both simple and hospitable, but when she looked at them, her eyes were more uncertain than the driver's. There was no malicious intent. Kind, simple... not practical.
Xu Wang is the most sensitive to people's emotions, and he caught this very quickly. Just as he was wondering, Aunt Chen spoke first: "Are you really a friend of the young master?"
"Of course." Xu Wang smiled, trying to make himself look frank and harmless.
Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment: "I probably shouldn't have said this, but the young master has never had friends..." She looked at the four of them, her voice getting softer, and seemed to realize that the next request was a bit excessive, "You guys You say it's the young master's friend, is there any evidence?"
These words really stopped Xu Wang from asking.
How do you prove it, my friend? I can't go back to the dark room and drag Chi Yingxue out, saying that you come and tell your aunt if we are friends.
"There is evidence." Kuang Jinxin suddenly said.
Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Qian Ai all looked at him in surprise.
Kuang Jinxin quickly took out his mobile phone, opened a photo, and handed it to Sister Chen.
Owl can't use the mobile phone, but it does not affect the viewing album.
It was a photo that Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, and Qian Ai had never seen before. It was a selfie of classmate Kuang. It was taken in a box of a restaurant in Jiangsu. 50% of the whole photo was his face. Behind him, four A partner shares the remaining 50%.
At that moment, the partners obviously didn't realize that they had become the scenery in other people's selfies. Wu Sheng was still working on the "form of survival", Xu Wang was holding several pages of "form of death" with a sad face, Qian Ai was Arranging the arrangement on the dining table, hoping that the picture will be better during the live broadcast, Chi Yingxue stole a small Su-style snack while he was not paying attention, and made a beautiful pastry pagoda without the spire. put it in your mouth.
At that time, they hadn't really started to break through the eighth level. Although they knew that the road ahead was dangerous, they still stole half a day of leisure.
In the photo, Kuang Jinxin smiled brightly, just like the weather outside the window at that time.
The middle-aged woman looked at it for a long time, and suddenly sobbed. She was busy wiping her eyes with her hands, and her choked voice was full of relief and happiness: "It's good to have friends, it's good to have friends..."
Hearing this in the ears of the little friends, for some reason, their hearts are slightly sour.
Driver Zhang is back.
Sister-in-law Chen immediately got up to meet her, and Kuang Jinxin hurriedly put the phone back in his pocket.
Looking at the returning driver, the heartstrings of the four partners tensed unconsciously.
The driver walked into the door, swept away the previous enthusiasm, and his face was sinking: "The young master is ill and can't see the guests. Come back."
Before Xu Wang and the others could respond, Sister Chen became anxious: "Sick? Why? I'll go and see—"
She said that she was about to go out, but the driver grabbed her arm and said, "What are you looking at? I'm full."
The four partners were stunned. They had foreseen that it would not be so smooth, but the driver in front of him seemed to have changed abruptly, which was still terrifying.
The gardener who was playing chess with himself stood up at the door, ignored the driver and Sister Chen who were pulling him, went straight in, and made a gesture of invitation to them: "Walk slowly, no delivery."
Xu Wang narrowed his eyes. Out of the corner of his eye, the three companions had already quietly touched the stationery box. He suddenly became calm, his voice rose slightly, and he asked the gardener, "What if we don't leave?"
The gardener clenched the pruning shears in his hand, and clicked the two shears, the sharp blades cut through the air, sharp and ear-piercing.
"Then don't blame me for being rude."
