In the evening, Lu Ban was still working.

As for Qin Tiantian, the sound of him playing games in the living room stopped at some point. Maybe he had fallen asleep.

Lu Ban looked at the time. It was half past six. It was time to go downstairs for dinner.

Man is iron and food is steel. How can you have the strength to work if you are not full?

"Lethe?"

He called out while putting the computer to sleep, but received no response.

"Really asleep?"

Lu Ban came to the living room, but found that Qin Tiantian was not sleeping on the sofa with her beloved shark pillow.

She was not in the living room.

The game remained at the paused screen, with the shark pillow lying on the sofa and the air friend sitting next to the pillow.

But Qin Tiantian is nowhere to be found.

“Could it be…”

Lu Ban went to the bathroom to take a look.

Lu Ban in the mirror expressed innocence and said he knew nothing.

Returning to the living room, Lu Ban asked his friend about the air, and at the same time discovered that the window of the living room had been opened at some point, and the curtains moved with the wind, bringing a slight coolness.

Lu Ban slowly approached the window and heard a noisy sound coming from downstairs.

Leaning his head out of the window, Lu Ban saw that many old men and women had gathered downstairs, discussing something around something.

Ding Dong——

The doorbell suddenly rang and Lu Ban retracted his head.

He came to the door and looked out through the peephole.

The corridor was empty, there was nothing.

Ding Dong——

Ding Dong——

The doorbell rang again.

Lu Ban opened the door.

"I'm so tired, you have to thank me!"

Qin Tiantian walked into the house carrying large and small takeout boxes.

"Did you go downstairs to get takeout?"

Lu Ban asked.

"Yes, I thought you must be very busy and need to make the movie quickly, so I just went downstairs to buy dinner. How about that? Isn't it considerate?"

Qin Tiantian proudly puffed out his considerate chest.

"?"

Lu Ban wondered if he shouldn't show this woman the clip he hadn't finished yet.

Now, I'm just sitting at home urging for more updates.

"Oh, yeah, I saw some water chestnut cake downstairs! Water chestnut cake, did you eat it when you were a kid? I didn't expect to be able to eat this in Jiangcheng!"

Qin Tiantian shook the plastic bag in his hand.

"Oh, it turns out that the shop downstairs sells water chestnut cakes."

Lu Ban looked downstairs again and then closed the window.

Qin Tiantian directly put the takeout on the table. It seemed that she went to the back street and bought some snacks such as pan-fried dumplings, fruit ice porridge, barbecue, fried skewers, wontons, and barbecue wraps.

Of course there is also water chestnut cake.

Lu Ban had eaten two kinds of water chestnut cakes. One was similar to jelly and crystal clear, and the other was made from water chestnut powder and glutinous rice flour and steamed with brown sugar. He was particularly impressed by the second kind, which was made in a special wooden container in a pressure cooker.

Qin Tiantian bought the second type.

In fact, Lu Ban couldn't remember where he had eaten this kind of water chestnut cake. Of course, he didn't know where Qin Tiantian had eaten it.

The TV switched to the news and the two of them sat on the sofa in the living room to eat dinner.

"Sure enough, happy water with sugar is still happier, sugar-free water is heresy!"

Qin Tiantian gulped down a large glass of iced cola, not worrying about excessive sugar intake at all.

Indeed, with her junior high school student's body shape, even if she gets fat, she may only evolve to the level of a high school student. Children nowadays are well-nourished, and Qin Tiantian may not be able to beat her.

The news was broadcasting some local news in Jiangcheng, including the previously demolished Nanhua Private Renji Hospital and the shopping mall next door.

"According to our news, Jiangcheng Industry, which purchased Nanhua Private Renji Hospital and Fulai Shopping Center, announced yesterday that it would renovate the two buildings. After the two buildings are demolished, a Jiangcheng City Museum will be built to store the cultural relics and materials related to Jiangcheng's history collected by Jiangcheng Industry, and it will be open to the general public free of charge..."

"The Jiangcheng police recently announced that they have formally arrested the suspect in the previous serial murder case in Jiangcheng, and the interrogation is proceeding in an orderly manner. At the same time, the relevant police officials also reminded the general public to pay attention to travel safety and not to go to remote places alone..."

"Jiangcheng Ocean Park will be open for trial operation soon. It is reported that the Ocean Park has introduced precious marine life such as penguins, seals, and dolphins. It covers a total area of ​​30 hectares, with a total planned construction area of ​​200,000 square meters. It includes 15 exhibition halls and four large marine animal interactive experience projects. It will become a good place for citizens to travel during holidays..."

"A strange sight has recently appeared in Heshan Botanical Garden. Thousands of lavender plants have bloomed in late autumn. This abnormal blooming phenomenon has attracted the attention of citizens. According to research by experts at the botanical garden, the flowering period of lavender is affected by various conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light. Although it is abnormal for lavender to bloom in autumn, it is possible..."

"According to our overseas reporters, the recent abnormal storm in the Pacific has subsided. The cruise ship 'Stars' carrying 320 Jiangcheng citizens has docked. Some passengers witnessed the volcanic eruption and the formation of the island during the storm and left video footage. Our reporters will continue to track the safety of the passengers on the cruise ship..."

"Botanical Garden, I haven't been there in all this time since I came to Jiangcheng."

Qin Tiantian sighed while eating fruit ice porridge.

"You are not from Jiangcheng, and your university is not here. How did you come to Jiangcheng?"

Lu Ban couldn't help but ask.

He graduated from Jiangcheng University, so it makes sense for him to stay here.

As a virtual anchor, Qin Tiantian doesn't need to show her face or attend any events. It is completely unnecessary for her to do so in a city like Jiangcheng where housing prices are extremely high.

"Me? I used to work in Jiangcheng, but then I lost my job and didn't want to go back home for the time being. I met a few friends and became a virtual anchor. I can make money so I'm too lazy to move. The internet here is fast!"

Qin Tiantian answered casually.

"You've worked before? Child labor shouldn't be allowed now, right?"

Lu Ban couldn't help but complain.

"Go away, I used to be a serious idol, pretty girl, okay!"

Qin Tiantian patted the table.

"You? Idol?"

Lu Ban found it unbelievable.

The aesthetic taste of young people nowadays seems to be a bit criminal.

"Tsk, let's not talk about the past. Anyway, I'm quite free now."

Qin Tiantian didn't intend to talk about her past experiences in detail. Perhaps the life of an idol left her with a painful trauma.

Lu Ban has a high EQ and didn't ask any more questions.

After eating and sorting the garbage, one of them continued to work while the other continued to play games and watch videos.

Late at night, Lu Ban stretched and heard the TV still playing outside, but there was no Qin Tiantian's voice.

When he walked out of the room, he saw that the guy had fallen asleep on the sofa hugging a shark pillow.

Lu Ban took out a blanket from the closet and covered her with it. He then reminded his air friend and the Lu Ban in the mirror to keep an eye on her. Then he washed up, returned to his room, closed the door and prepared to go to bed.

Before going to bed, Lu Ban took out his mobile phone and casually browsed Weibo.

Soon, he saw the news about the cruise ship mentioned in the news while having dinner that night.

It appears that the person is a cruise ship passenger and posted a video he shot in the stormy sea.

You can see that in the vast sea, there is an island looming.

Lu Ban looked at it carefully and frowned.

“Are there any buildings on this island?”
