A day's life in a restaurant is quite busy. When he is free, Chen Qiu always looks for some work. On the one hand, he cannot let down the trust of his boss. On the other hand, Xiao Xilin always pops up in his mind during his free time.
The appearance before death.
Xiao Xi's death was such a huge blow to Chen Qiu that he could not bear to have the blood of innocent people on his hands.
The day ended quickly. At one o'clock in the morning, the restaurant closed for business. Chen Qiu left the restaurant after cleaning everything.
The pace of life in Huangcheng is very slow, making it a very suitable place to settle down. On the street, many couples hold hands and relax.
Chen Qiu bought a few cans of beer in a small store and went to the riverside. The breeze was blowing and it was a bit cool. Chen Qiu wrapped himself tightly in his clothes and opened a can of beer.
There are thousands of thoughts in my mind, and I don’t know if Senior Sister Su has woken up, let alone the current situation in Jiangcheng.
Maybe they will be worried about themselves, but I really can't cause them trouble.
I don't know how long it took, but someone sat down next to Chen Qiu. In a blink of an eye, it was Liu Hui. This made Chen Qiu a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Liu Hui opened a can of beer and took a sip: "I happened to go back this way and saw you in a daze, so I came over. Why are you drinking alone? Are you in a bad mood?"
Chen Qiu shook his head: "No."
Liu Hui stared at Chen Qiu very seriously. It was not until a long time later that she said: "You are different from them."
"Who?" Chen Qiu asked.
"Zhao Yu and the others." Liu Hui said solemnly: "Compared to them, you are more mature and very mysterious. You always have a deep look. I always feel that you have many stories hidden in you. Can you tell me about it?
? It’s not good to keep some things in your heart for too long, you might as well talk about it, maybe you’ll feel better.”
Chen Qiu couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I don't have any story."
"No!" Liu Hui said seriously: "There must be, but you don't want to tell me, does it mean you don't trust me?"
Chen Qiu said seriously: "I don't distrust you. I'm grateful to you for taking care of me these days."
Liu Hui frowned and said: "You are too honest. Men shouldn't be like this. You should be braver. Zhao Yu bullies you so much, but you indulge him every time. This will only make him worse."
Of course Chen Qiu understood this truth. He shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It is better to do less than to do more."
Liu Hui said thoughtfully: "I only know that there is a word for autumn in your name, but I don't know where you come from, what is your purpose, and what is your future? I always feel that you and I don't belong to the same world.
people."
"Why?" Chen Qiu was a little funny: "You and I are sitting here drinking together, why are we not from the same world?"
Liu Hui curled her lips and said with some resentment: "I always feel that you do not belong to me, nor to that small restaurant, nor to Huangcheng, but you belong to the wider world, so I am very curious about what your experience has been.
What."
"It's nothing, I said it." Chen Qiu's eyes subconsciously dodge, and he took a sip of beer to cover up his brief panic: "I just long to be an ordinary person."
The corners of Liu Hui's mouth raised slightly: "Since you said that, you must not have been simple before, right?"
Chen Qiu was speechless and didn't want to explain too much to Liu Hui. Knowing some things would be bad for her.
Seeing that Chen Qiu was silent, Liu Hui stood up and mouthed: "It's boring! Okay, I'm leaving. You should go back and rest early. There will be a lot of people in the store tomorrow weekend, so don't be clumsy then."
After that, Liu Hui turned and left, leaving Chen Qiu sitting alone by the river.
Chen Qiu silently stared at the lights on the other side of the river. He really wanted to find someone to talk to, but Liu Hui was obviously not his choice.
I don't know how much time passed, but Chen Qiu suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the time. It was already three o'clock in the morning.
He then hurriedly got up and returned to the dormitory. The so-called dormitory was actually the same as the bunk beds in the previous school. Several employees from the restaurant lived in one room.
However, they had not returned from eating out, so Chen Qiu also lay on the bed after a simple wash.
From the day he came back from Guancheng, Chen Qiu's sleep quality has been very poor. He is extremely prone to insomnia. He basically has to close his eyes for an hour or two before he can barely fall asleep. Moreover, his sleep is very shallow and he will wake up immediately if there is any disturbance.
, I was afraid that someone from the Long family would come to my door.
Closing his eyes, Chen Qiu tried his best to think about some messy things, until after a long time, he finally fell asleep.
But he still had a nightmare. He dreamed that he was back in that hall, and he pierced the dagger into Xiao Xi's chest. The blood splashed all over his face, but from the third perspective, his face was full of excitement, and he even licked the bloody
Blood can be said to be extremely cruel and cold. Looking back, the magnificent hall was littered with corpses, and Chen Qiu could name everyone.
Su Waner, Huo Chen, Leng Qingyue, and Shen Changsheng were all lying on the ground with their eyes wide open. There was a shocking blood hole in their chests, which was the result of being killed by them.
"Huh!" Chen Qiu woke up suddenly, covered in sweat. At this time, the light in the room suddenly turned on. Zhao Yu and others walked in drunkenly. Zhao Yu, who took the lead, glanced at Chen Qiu and sneered: "Look
You look like you’re covered in sweat. What’s going on? You’re having nightmares about being chased by your enemies?”
Chen Qiu said nothing and lay down again. The bloody scene lingered in his mind. This was not the first time he had had this dream.
It happens almost every day, and I dream that all my relatives and friends died tragically at my own hands.
Zhao Yu drank a lot today. He was originally unhappy because he was scared by Chen Qiu during the day. Now that he ignored himself in front of so many people, he felt even more unhappy. He walked to Chen Qiu's bed.
In front of him, he directly tore off his quilt and said in a cold voice: "I'm going to talk to you again. Are you deaf? Still can't understand people's words?"
Chen Qiu frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" Zhao Yu heard the words and grinned coldly: "To be honest, I've seen you unhappy for a long time. You pretend to be so deep and mysterious all day long. I hate people who pretend to be more than others. Today I want to
I’ll give you a good beating.”
Chen Qiu said in a deep voice: "I didn't offend you, did I? I did everything you asked me to do for you."
"Yeah." Zhao Yu joked: "But I just look down on people like you, and I just want to beat you. There is no reason, so get off here!"
"That's right!" Several other employees were also drunk. They would go out to drink basically every day: "Come down, I see you are unhappy, are you pretending to be you? I don't know, I thought you were awesome."
"I don't care where you were from before. Here, you must listen to my brother Yu. If it's a dragon, stay with me. If it's a tiger, stay with me!"
"Brother Yu, let's not cause trouble. If we beat him, we won't be able to explain to the boss."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Yu sneered and said, "Does he dare to tell the boss? Even if he told me, the boss would only give me a scolding at most. Who made him so unsociable?" As he said that, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand,
He said calmly: "If you dare to tell your boss what happened tonight, you will be completely screwed!"
