After a soft "buzzing" sound, the wooden ladder that had been extending towards the bedroom floor began to slowly rise and curl upwards toward the roof.
Finally, the entire small wooden staircase curled up close to the wall and ceiling, and with a "thud!" it cleverly merged into a table-sized, dark yellow wooden lamp, embedded in the ceiling on the left side, classic and unique...
"Phew!" Once everything was back to normal, Su Mei withdrew her gaze from the ceiling, let out a deep breath, then turned and walked to the large bed. Leaning against the edge, she straightened up and, with a "thump!" sprawled out...
At that moment, a dark mist appeared faintly in her eyes. After the mist dissipated, Su Mei stared blankly at the ceiling, and soon remained motionless...
At this moment, all around was silent.
"Sister, sister," after a moment, Su Li gently knocked on the door, pressing her ear against the back of the door, but she heard no sound from inside, nor did Su Mei answer.
Su Li inserted the key into the ignition and carefully turned it half a turn. The door opened silently.
Su Li slowly exhaled, raised her hand to push open the door, and tiptoed inside...
The room was eerily quiet; not even a breath could be heard. Su Li turned on her small flashlight, the soft light shining on Su Mei lying on the bed. The light illuminated Su Mei's face, but Su Li was startled. Su Mei's eyes were open, and she didn't move at all. Su Li was so frightened that she gasped and didn't dare to move for a moment.
However, after a moment, Su Mei still did not react; she seemed not to have noticed Su Li at all.
"Sister!" Su Li mustered her courage and went over, bending down to stand at the head of the bed and calling out to her, while reaching out to touch her nose.
Her breathing was faint, but there was nothing seriously wrong. Su Mei, with her eyes open, was actually asleep, and she wasn't snoring.
Su Li spun out the small flashlight in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes, flickering in the darkness, turned solemnly to Su Mei. Her face was somewhat pale. After a moment of blankness, she straightened up, turned around and circled the edge of the bed, then stood behind the headboard and looked up at the ceiling...
Why design such a unique staircase? Clearly, they don't want others to know what secret it holds.
After a brief pause, Su Mei sighed deeply, bent down, placed the key back under her pillow, turned, and walked out along the edge of the bed...
Su Mei's behavior is so abnormal, and the boss she mentioned is also really strange. What is their ultimate goal? And where is the person I'm looking for?
Su Li lay on the bed, her star-like eyes shining brightly in the dark night.
An incident from six months ago has resurfaced in my mind...
At the eastern end of Xiaoshanzhuang Village, nestled against the mountain, lives a family with three small tiled houses. A hundred meters away in front of the houses, in the fields, there is a pond. On a summer day, the lotus leaves in the pond are like umbrellas, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom.
Following her mother's instructions, Su Li, who was unemployed at home that afternoon, prepared to go to the pond to get a few lotus leaves, put them in a steamer, and make some lotus leaf cakes...
Standing by the pond, inhaling the delightful fragrance, Su Li took a deep breath. After a moment of blissful intoxication, she bent down, rolled up her trousers, and, supporting herself on the edge of the pond, easily reached out and picked a large, intact lotus leaf.
Su Li quickly turned and climbed ashore, but slipped and fell headfirst into the not-so-deep pond. When she braced herself against the muddy bottom and straightened up, she saw that her chest was covered in yellow mud, which flowed down her body with a "splash!"
