"It's nothing, actually. First, I had a quarrel with a friend and we parted ways, and now I found out that a very important person might be in danger. I don't know what to do."
"What friend? Girlfriend?" The old lady smiled with narrowed eyes, as if she had guessed it a long time ago.
Lan Ye shrugged, thinking that she didn't necessarily think so.
"You are worried about her, but she might also be worried about you. As for the important people you mentioned, whether it is your teacher, classmates, or family, in this situation, they certainly don't want you to risk your life for them. Only by living can you meet again in the future."
Lan Ye fell into deep thought, "Then what should I do?"
The old lady smiled: "I am an old lady in the countryside. I haven't read much, but I know that people should never do things that they regret."
Things that regret?
Lan Ye repeatedly savored this sentence. The room was very quiet. It was already noon. Xiaoya in his arms might be tired of playing. Her little head was resting on his legs and she was sleeping soundly.
Unconsciously, Lan Ye's consciousness gradually blurred, his head tilted, and he fell into a deep sleep.
The tide of darkness came, and the man in the black windbreaker appeared in front of him again, but his body seemed a little wet, as if he had just finished work.
Lan Ye held his forehead and lamented: "No way, brother, I'm just taking a nap, taking a short rest, and you have to join in the fun!"
The man in the black windbreaker lowered his head and smiled: "She treated you so well for others, why are you still thinking about her?"
Lan Ye was stunned: "How do you know?" The moment he said this, he immediately covered his mouth.
The man in the black windbreaker rolled his eyes helplessly and raised the repair tools in his hand:
"The tide of your longing is almost washing down the door of my house. If I don't show up to help you solve it, I will have no place to live tonight."
"What does this... have to do with you? What nonsense are you talking about?" Lan Ye was a little confused for a while.
The man in the black windbreaker threw away the tools with a cold face, grabbed Lan Ye's collar angrily and shouted:
"You still dare to ask? Ah? If you want to ask, go ask your heart full of love! You are obviously thinking about Su Nan, but you just don't say it, and you are angry, so much so that the heating pipes in my room exploded! This broken place is damp, cold, dark and without light, and now it's like this, what do you want me to do?"
Lan Ye was picked up by him and thrown to the ground, and he fell dizzy. "It's so unlucky to be with you. Did I owe you in my last life? If there's danger, I'll come out to help you deal with it. Now there's a girl. I'll watch you two show affection. If you two quarrel, my house will be in trouble. Damn it!"
Lan Ye stood up with a smile and rubbed his sore butt: "Hey, don't you think it's weird to say this with a face that looks exactly like mine?"
The man in the black windbreaker snorted coldly, ignored his complaints, and continued: "You know who's on the team, right? Isn't the reason you let Yuze stay for her?"
Lan Ye was hit on the heart by someone, he scratched his head: "Hey, you really understand my thoughts."
"Aren't you afraid that something will happen to her? What if something happens?"
"She is so good at fighting, it should be someone else who gets into trouble, right?" Lan Ye shrugged, rubbing his chest with a nonchalant look.
"I saw that she kicked me with great force to protect Jason. Besides, it's no use for me to think about her. She may not be thinking about me. Maybe she is chatting happily with Jason now. Oh, they are so in love that they have forgotten me."
The man in the black windbreaker narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you really think so?"
"Of course!" Lan Ye stiffened his neck and shook his head.
"Bang!" "Crash!"
There was a loud noise behind the man in the black windbreaker. His face changed slightly, and he rushed back immediately. After a while, he appeared from the darkness and stared at Lan Ye with a gloomy face.
Lan Ye was a little curious: "What's wrong? Did your house explode?"
"Another heating pipe burst, and I don't know who knocked over my vinegar bottle. The whole house is filled with the sour smell of vinegar."
"Uh..." Lan Ye was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help feeling a little weak.
The man in black windbreaker sighed slowly: "It's almost time to go find her. The old lady is right. If you don't want to be a slut, you should never do something that will make you regret it. Believe me, if Su Nan is really in danger, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Lan Ye was silent for a long time: "Okay, I know."
"That's good to know. Well, I'm going back too. There's a lot of work waiting for me at home." The man in black windbreaker clapped his hands and turned to leave.
Lan Ye looked at his disappearing back, thinking silently: "If I go back to find her now, wouldn't it be very embarrassing? Otherwise... wait a little longer?"
"Bang!" There was another loud noise, as if something exploded.
The roar of the man in the black windbreaker came: "Fuck! Damn you!"
Lan Ye immediately turned around and ran away...
Not long after, he vaguely felt someone blowing on his face. He slowly opened his eyes and found that it was already evening.
Xiao Ya was lying beside him, her big round eyes rolling around.
Seeing that he was awake, Xiao Ya leaned over her head: "... lazy... talking in your sleep."
Lan Ye got up and hugged her in his arms, pinching her tender face. Xiao Ya giggled and fluttered in his arms.
"Oh? What did I talk in my sleep?" He asked with a smile.
She blinked her curious eyes, "Su Nan... who is she?"
Lan Ye's heart suddenly stagnated, as if he had missed a beat.
The old lady smiled and said, "Lan Ye, when you were asleep, you kept repeating this name in your mouth. Is she your girlfriend?"
Lan Ye smiled helplessly and looked around: "Uh..., where is Xiao Xi? Where did he go?"
"I don't know. He must have gone out to find food again. Every time he left and came back, his movements were very light, and I couldn't feel it." The old lady smiled.
Lan Ye thought so too. That guy's body movements were like a ghost. Even if he floated in from the door without touching the ground, he would not be surprised.
After asking Mrs. Li to take care of Xiao Ya, he got up and opened the door, and went to the hall to stretch his body and move his muscles.
Suddenly, Lan Ye heard a sharp sound of breaking wind from the back of his head. Without any hesitation, he quickly rolled on the spot, and when he got up, he took out the baton to protect himself, and looked straight ahead nervously.
The man in black stood silently against the wall, with no ripples on his face.
Lan Ye turned his head and saw a poker card stuck in the place where he had just stood.
He took a long breath and put away the baton: "Bro, please, can you please say something when you come back."
He stared at me for a while and said lightly: "Go to the 9th floor tomorrow morning."
Lan Ye was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He said that he would go to the 9th floor tomorrow, which was where Doctor Shangguan disappeared.
Lan Ye was excited. In fact, he had this plan a long time ago.
Even if he didn't go, Lan Ye would go to find Doctor Shangguan himself. Now with the help of Pang Xi, the safety factor has been greatly improved.
As for Su Nan...
He touched the intercom that had been hidden in his waist. It was found in the security room. There were two in total, and the other one was in Yu Ze's hand.
"Hey, your name is Pang Xi, right?" Lan Ye calmed down and chased after him and asked.
"Just call me Xiao Xi." He still looked indifferent.
