In the morning, Zhou Hui was awakened by the smell of fried eggs.There was a sizzling sound from the kitchen, he rubbed his eyes, leaned against the door frame of the kitchen, and stared in surprise at the busy people wearing aprons in his kitchen.

Gao Yuanxia shoveled the fried egg into the plate, turned around and saw a man standing on top of a bird's nest, his eyes were wide open, and he was pointing at him: "You, you, can you cook?" Even though he had only known each other for a day, Zhou Hui couldn't believe it This well-mannered and well-dressed man in front of him can cook.until he took his first bite.

The way Zhou Hui devoured it made Gao Yuanxia a little funny. He had never seen a person who was as happy as a child after eating an fried egg.

"Is it so delicious?" He took a sip.

Zhou Hui followed the movement of the knife and fork in Gao Yuanxia's hand, watching him lightly cut off a piece of fried egg with the knife, put it into his mouth slowly, chewed it carefully, swallowed it gracefully, and finally took a sip of milk.Not a single sound was made, and all movements were noble and graceful, like a Western nobleman.Then look at the chopsticks in my hand, the finely shattered egg crumbs on the plate, and the soy milk at hand.

"Why is my drink different from yours?" Although he has been bloated and uncomfortable since he drank milk since he was a child, he can only drink soy milk, but the way of treating him differently is too uneducated.He didn't understand when the knives, forks and glasses were added at home?He clearly remembered that there was only a pair of bowls and chopsticks and an enamel teacup for drinking at home.

"I think you may prefer soy milk." Gao Yuanxia continued to cut eggs, looked up at the person opposite, and raised the knife and fork in his hand to signal, "I'm sorry, I have lived abroad for many years, and I am more used to this .Because I woke up in the morning and found that you only had a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a cup at home, so I bought some on my own. If you don’t like these things, I will throw them away later.”

This is not a question of liking it or not, but that this person is too self-assertive in doing things.Zhou Hui wants to take back the educated label he put on Gao Yuanxia last night.He didn't say he would stay here forever, he wasn't used to sharing a room with a man at all.Zhou Hui woke up in the middle of the night last night and found that his waist was heavy, which made him sweat coldly. When he lifted the quilt, he found that the person behind him had put his hands on his waist.He had no choice but to crawl to the other end of the bed and continue sleeping.

"I'll pay you back the money later. Don't buy it in the future. I don't need so many things to live alone."

He wiped his mouth and got up to get dressed.Gao Yuanxia obviously sensed his faint anger, and upon seeing this, she quickly packed her things and went out with him.

Since Gao Yuanxia was familiar with the work process before, when he arrived at the convenience store, Zhou Hui found that he had nothing to teach, so he had to sit behind the cash register to direct and supervise the other party's work.

Although he got this store for nothing, Zhou Hui had to face a very embarrassing situation-he currently has no money to maintain the operation of this store!

It is unrealistic to recruit more people now. Fortunately, there is a lot of inventory in the warehouse, which can be sold for a month, and Gao Yuanxia's salary will not be paid until one month later.During this period, as long as most of the inventory is sold, he will not only have money to pay Gao Yuanxia's salary, but also buy some more goods, and then all problems will be solved.

In order to sell the stock as soon as possible, Zhou Hui decided to set the business hours at 18 hours, he worked for 9 hours, Gao Yuanxia worked for 9 hours, and the two worked in shifts.

Maybe because Gao Yuanxia is a newcomer, he has an inexplicable obedience to Zhou Hui, he didn't care about the extra hour of work, and obeyed the arrangement readily.

Although there is always an air of alienation that strangers should not get close to, after getting along with each other, Zhou Hui found that Gao Yuanxia is a very hardworking and easy-going person. Zhou Hui has never worried about things like this.Zhou Hui is very satisfied with this employee.

Zhou Hui was on the night shift that day.After he sent Gao Yuanxia away, he sat alone behind the cashier, staring at the surveillance video on the screen boredly, and played with his mobile phone when he was tired.

Facing the empty convenience stores and darkened streets alone, he actually discovered very early on that the 18-hour business hours he envisioned were simply unrealistic.There are shops such as flower shops and snack bars nearby. There are no residential houses at all, and few people come to buy things at night.

But he has come to the end of the mountain, so he can only bite the bullet and carry it to death.

Zhou Hui tried his best to turn on all the lights in the store, illuminating the storefront brightly, making the whole store stand out in this area - even if it can't attract customers, it can be bold.

After finally staying up until the middle of the night, my consciousness is already very blurred.Just when he was thinking about whether to go to the warehouse to find some cardboard boxes to make do for a night's sleep, the wind chime hanging on the door suddenly rang, and the door was pushed halfway open.

have a guest?

Zhou Hui put down his phone and looked towards the door.

A woman in a white dress stood at the door of the store, with her head down and her face invisible.

There was a faint cold air blowing over his face, Zhou Hui couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his body.The woman didn't move at all, he stretched his neck and shouted: "Welcome to watch, please come in."

As soon as he finished yelling, the white figure entered the shop in the blink of an eye, still keeping his head down, not speaking, and not looking up at anyone.The long hair hangs down the side of her face, forming a shadow that just blocks her facial features.

From the moment the woman stood at the door, Zhou Hui felt that something was wrong.He looked up at the lamp, then looked down at the soles of the woman's feet, and couldn't help but take a deep breath when he saw it clearly——

This man has no shadow!

If you walk a lot at night, you will encounter ghosts one day!He shouldn't be opening a store at night!

The woman stood at the door and refused to move. There was darkness behind her. Even if Zhou Hui could get past her and run outside, there was no car, no one, and he didn't even have a place to hide.Zhou Hui suppressed his desire to yell and rush out the door, and tried his best to make his expression look calm.

But he couldn't keep his breath from being as heavy as a cow.While backing away quietly, he quickly sent a message to Gao Yuanxia. Although he didn't know how Gao Yuanxia could help him, he couldn't think of anyone else who could help him.Now I can only pray that Gao Yuanxia is still awake, otherwise he may come to collect his body tomorrow.

The woman was shuffling her feet step by step, approaching Zhou Hui.

For some reason, Zhou Hui could feel the strong resentment emanating from her body, and this resentment was most likely directed at him.

As the woman moved slowly, she made an 'uh uh' sound, whimpering, as if she wanted to say something.Zhou Hui felt very familiar when he heard the whimpering sound in her mouth.The terrifying memories of the past resurfaced in his mind, he gasped for breath, no longer retreated, and even took a small step forward.

Knowing that the person in front of him was once his favorite person, but when the other person raised his head to reveal the tattered face crawling with worms, Zhou Hui couldn't help but howled, and fled from Song Nuan's side desperately. Passed the past and escaped from the shop.

Why do this?

Why is it not over yet?

How can I let him go?

How can this endless nightmare end?

All the shop doors on the side of the street were tightly closed, and the street lamps cast a faint light. He ran on the dark street, and there was a creaking sound behind him.

Zhou Hui couldn't help but forget to glance behind him, and vaguely saw a mass of white things running towards him on the ground, and when he saw it clearly, his blood flowed backward in fright——

Song Nuan was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, hissing and panting, and was running towards him with disheveled hair on all fours!

Zhou Hui couldn't run anymore, and he didn't know where else he could run.He stood on the street, panting.When the white figure caught up behind him, he turned around and walked towards her slowly.

During this period of time, he thought that everything was over and that he could finally live a quiet life.But it seems that he still cannot escape the fate of death.

He tore off the amulet from his body, threw it far away, and sat down on the ground.

Song Nuan had already crawled up to Zhou Hui, with a pair of resentful eyes showing in the messy hair.

Zhou Hui stared at her strange eyes, tears burst out of his eyes.Regarding the tragic death of the three members of the Song family, he had an inexplicable sense of guilt, but he didn't know what he did wrong or why it all happened.

He was like a bereaved dog who couldn't find a reason to live, but fled in embarrassment, desperately trying to live.

Song Nuan crawled towards Zhou Hui awkwardly, stretched his fingers towards his throat, and tightened them a little bit.An indistinct whisper in his mouth: "It was you... who killed... us... you... damn..."

Zhou Hui's body shook, and tears fell again.

If he had followed Song's father's wishes and stayed that day, maybe their family would not have died; if he had insisted on taking Song Nuan away that day, maybe Song Nuan would not have died; if he had noticed something was wrong with the Song family earlier, maybe... maybe All this was really due to his own dullness and stupidity, Zhou Hui closed his eyes resignedly, instead of living in guilt and fear for the rest of his life, it would be better to just pay his own life.

Breathing became more and more difficult, Zhou Hui instinctively grasped Song Nuan's wrist, but had no intention of breaking it.

When his consciousness drifted away, he seemed to see a white, dazzling light.The fingers on the neck quickly pulled back. Song Nuan seemed to be frightened by the white light, and suddenly let go of Zhou Hui's neck, and fled into the thick night whimpering.

Zhou Hui lost his support and fell to the ground with a "bang".After a muffled sound of closing the car door, a man ran to Zhou Hui's side and pulled him up.

Someone was calling his name next to his ear, and the side of his cheek was burning with pain. Zhou Hui thought vaguely that he must deduct this person's salary tomorrow.
