Chapter 20 [Colleagues]

There is no heating installed in the dormitory, and it is impossible to install it in this southern region. When winter comes, there is only endless humidity and cold, and the next rain is even more unbearable. When the cold wind blows, my bones seem to freeze.

It's almost ten o'clock now, and some supermarket employees have fallen asleep long ago. When we arrive here, it looks very empty, and when the wind blows, the branches will rustle.

Originally, I planned to go directly to the supermarket to buy something, but it closed at 9:30, so I had to go elsewhere.

Although our dormitory building is behind a large supermarket, it is also built in a residential area. You can get to the supermarket only five minutes away. It would be better to say that this employee dormitory is a converted residential building.

The guard room of the community was dark. I knocked on the door very embarrassed. When the guard saw it was me, he immediately opened the door for me. I opened a cigarette for him and chatted for a few words.

He is about forty years old. Although he is the gatekeeper of this community, his status is not low at all. With him guarding this place, some troublemakers do not dare to be arrogant at all. Others call him Black Brother.

I work locally, and a few years ago I helped people look after venues.

I went to a nearby store that was still open to buy some wine, and then Peanut started walking back. When passing by the tree-lined path near a large supermarket, I spotted a familiar figure.

A young girl was sitting next to the flower bed, covering her face with her hands. Her dress looked familiar.

"Huh? Manager Bai, are you here too?"

She let go of her hand and was very surprised to see me here. I looked at this beautiful girl carefully. Her delicate little ears were exposed from the long hair on both sides. Her facial features were also very delicate, but she looked a little pale.

"Well, I...I'm going out to buy some wine."

I hesitated to speak. To be honest, when I see a beautiful girl staring at me and smiling, my tongue will be tied and my face will turn red. It will take a while to recover.

She is the employee in charge of the non-staple food area, Zhu Xiao.

"Well, go back early. If you have time tomorrow, let's have lunch together. I'll treat you to some sweets."

Zhu Xiao forced out a smile and suddenly said, handing me a beautifully wrapped candy.

I thought about it and nodded. After I ate the candy, Zhu Xiao smiled stiffly and went back to the community with me. When we passed the guard room, I handed Brother Hei a bottle of Erguotou and peanuts.

He laughed out loud and kept saying sorry.

Zhu Xiao and I separated at the door of the staff dormitory. I was on the third floor and she lived on the first floor. I waved goodbye to her. When we walked to the second floor, there were faint sounds of crying below. I looked back.

, but I didn’t find anything. I just felt that the surroundings were getting colder and colder. It was a bit colder than outside, so I couldn’t help but speed up my pace.

I knocked on the door and found that there was no sound inside. When I was about to open the door with the key, the door opened. Qing Ming stood at the door with a cold face, staring at me coldly, which made me at a loss. Could it be that

Does this kid Qing Ming know that I came back with Zhu Xiao?

"Unlucky, what on earth did you eat!"

Qing Ming snorted coldly, and suddenly held the sword in his hand and pointed it at the center of my eyebrows. I immediately felt dizzy. I opened my mouth slightly and wanted to vomit. After vomiting for a long time, a black sticky substance came out. I could identify it carefully.

, it was actually that candy. If Qing Ming hadn’t supported me, I almost fell to the ground.

Qing Ming patted my back and asked me to come in. Then there was a talisman in his hand. He held the talisman expressionlessly and circled it slightly above the black sticky thing. Then he let go of his hand and placed it on the ground.

The "candy" on it is like a magnet, firmly attracting this talisman.

"Pfft"

There was a soft sound, and the talisman burned. A few wisps of blue flames jumped a few times, and an extremely strong stench came out. It made me want to feel sick. I retched a few times. As soon as the flames became stronger, the ground was clean.

, where are the traces of talismans and candies?

"Just lie in there obediently. If you do it for me, what kind of trouble will you cause?"

Qing Ming closed the door, pushed me onto a chair, and asked coldly.

Although there was no heating installed, Qing Ming's house was equipped with air conditioning. I was much warmer. I took off my coat, put down the storage bag in my hand, and told Qing Ming about my experience.

After a while, Qing Ming snorted coldly again: "That's right. Not long after I arrived, I fell in love with Miss Zhu. I will have dinner with her tomorrow, but I forgot about me, a fellow sufferer."

"No... just go with me tomorrow, eh? Why is Dongzi sleeping? Didn't you agree to drink?"

Thinking of what I just did, my head feels dizzy.

"I was too sad and fell asleep. What, you want to drink?"

Qing Ming put his hands in his pockets and asked calmly.

"If you don't want to drink, I'll take a shower and go to sleep."

I lowered my head and spoke.

Qing Ming walked up to me, grabbed a bottle of Erguotou, unscrewed the lid and poured it into his mouth. I have never seen Qing Ming drink. Wouldn't he be drunk if he drank like this?

"Just take it easy, I'll drink with you. Drink less, you have to go to work tomorrow."

I opened a bag of peanuts, unscrewed another bottle of wine, and spoke hurriedly.

Just like that, I couldn't drink anymore. I can drink about five bottles of beer on weekdays, but if I drink a small bottle of white wine, I will be knocked down. After one bottle, I will feel drowsy. I walked to my

Next to the bed, I wanted to push the thing in. He must have been sleeping too deeply. I couldn't move it no matter how hard I tried, so I just leaned over and lay on the bed. It seemed that three people would have to squeeze in the room tonight.

Now, I don't have the ability to help Dongzi back to my room.

In the early morning of the second day, after we had a hurried breakfast, Dongzi said goodbye to us and said that he would keep in touch.

When I was wandering around the supermarket, I didn't find Zhu Xiao. I asked my colleagues and found out that she hadn't come to work for a few days. I thought of her again when I met her in the flower bed. Thinking of this, I left the supermarket and went to the old flower bed.
