Chapter 2 It's all bubbles



Xin Yunmao's arrogance shocked the only human being present.

Chu Zhishui: "Indeed, I rarely see such a self-satisfied person.

The next moment, Xin Yunmao showed an expression of "as expected", as if he saw Chu Zhishui clearly.

Chu Zhishui really hated her ability to read people's expressions. She wanted to hit him with some rude words, but she felt that there was no need to lose her life for the sake of small gains. After all, she didn't know what he was, and confronting him head-on would be like hitting a rock with an egg. Fortunately, Xin

Yunmao didn't say much. He returned to his initial indifference, put one hand in his pocket and continued to pace down.

Chu Zhishui followed him back to the spacious and simple courtyard.

As soon as she walked out of the building, the bright sunlight poured in, warming up the open space outside the office building and dispelling the chill on her body.

There are not many buildings in the observation bureau. The tallest office building is surrounded by ivy, and next to it is a row of ordinary low buildings. There is a flat land next to the building, which is now covered with green grass. The corners have been reclaimed to plant some small green vegetables and potato seedlings.

After Xin Yunmao walked out of the building, he sat slowly on the stone round stool, squinting his eyes lazily, enjoying the beautiful sunlight filtered by the shade of the trees.

Seeing that he no longer paid attention to her, Chu Zhishui was terrified in the building today. She really couldn't understand the inhuman thoughts, so she tentatively said: "...Then I'll take my leave first?"

These monsters wouldn't deliberately wait for her to run halfway and then catch her back in a malicious way, right?

"You haven't left yet." Xin Yunmao heard the voice, he slowly opened his eyes, and scanned her up and down, as if he was quite surprised.

Chu Zhishui actually saw through the other party's train of thought for a moment. He must have associated it with "a handsome and elegant existence", making it seem like she was deliberately stalling for time and wanted to stay with him for a while longer.

It must be said that as long as he didn't deliberately frown, his micro-expressions were very easy to understand.

Chu Zhishui said weakly: "...Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Chu Zhishui walked towards the parking lot without looking back. She got in the car and drove away from the Observation Bureau like a whirlwind. She was obviously frightened by the dark shadow on the wall at the beginning, but was disturbed by the narcissistic male ghost halfway. Now there was no fear in her mind, only speechlessness.

The Huaijiang Observation Bureau is located in a remote area, far from the residential area where Chu Zhishui's parents live. There is no public transportation between the two places, and it takes 30 minutes to drive. This commuting distance is nothing in first-tier cities, but it is not suitable in small cities. Driving to work is obviously an expense.

Half an hour later, Chu Zhishui calmed down during the drive. She parked her private car in the basement and planned to make a phone call before going home.

Although she is safe now, she definitely saw a shadow just now, and the narcissistic male ghost also admitted that he was not human. The new unit is full of anomalies.

Chu Zhishui called Hong Ximing, but no one answered the phone. She looked at the time and found that it was past 17:00. This is the landline number of the Personnel Department of the Observation Bureau. It is estimated that it will be impossible to get through after work.

Although the new unit is haunted, it is really punctual after work. There will be no one after one minute, or there are few people, all of them are strange ghosts.

A moment later, Chu Zhishui arrived home. As soon as the security door opened, she smelled the aroma of food before she had time to change her shoes.

The lights in the restaurant were dim and warm, and two dishes and a soup were already on the table. The steamed pork with rice flour is still steaming, the stir-fried melon tips are green, and the winter melon bone soup is bright in color, making people salivate.

"Hey, you're back." When Xie Yan saw her daughter come in, she immediately reached out to pat Chu Xiaohe on the sofa and urged, "Okay, stop dawdling, hurry up and fry the last dish!"

"I just took a break, my butt hasn't even warmed up yet..." Chu Xiaohe complained in a low voice and walked towards the kitchen helplessly.

Her parents were just waiting in the living room for their only daughter who came back late.

Chu Zhishui has been working in Yinhai City since graduation. She has lived alone in a rental house for a long time, so there is no chance that someone will wait for her to come home for dinner.

After returning home, she seemed to be much more sensitive, especially after experiencing so many strange things just now. Now when she saw the ordinary family life, she would inexplicably feel sour in her chest and couldn't help but feel hot in her eyes.

She felt that she was indestructible outside, but she was invincible when she returned to the familiar harbor.

"Mom, don't let Dad cook, we can't finish all this."

"It's okay, just cook some green leafy vegetables. You need to balance your nutrition now, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable again!"

Since Chu Zhishui fell seriously ill, Xie Yan was sometimes too nervous.

Not long after, the family of three had a happy meal, and inevitably asked about the situation of the new unit.

Chu Xiaohe glanced at his daughter and asked casually, "Did everything go well today?"

Chu Zhishui was never a child that made her parents worry. Whether it was studying or working, she had her own ideas, but they always asked her questions as usual.

"Today..." Chu Zhishui hesitated for a rare time, "It went well."

She couldn't say whether the experience in the Observation Bureau was smooth or not. If she told others about the black shadow on the wall, it would seem that she had a mental problem, which might only add to her parents' troubles.

"As long as everything goes well, don't work too hard when you come back, and don't work as hard as before!" Xie Yan advised, "You still have to do the renovation next, so you should save your energy a little, your health is the most important."

Chu Zhishui: "Today is just to handle the formalities, there is no work, and I will officially start work tomorrow."

"Then go to bed early tonight and conserve your energy."

After dinner, Chu Zhishui chatted with her parents in the living room for a while, and then went back to her room to think about the supernatural events. She has not been in her hometown for a long time, so she can only ask her childhood friends and classmates to inquire about the treatment of the Observation Bureau and whether there have been any scary things in the past.

"The salary in this kind of unit is just average. It's definitely not as much as what you earn in Yinhai, but it should be considered good in Huaijiang."

Chu Zhishui was silent for a moment, and lowered her voice and said, "...Are there any strange rumors?"

"What kind of rumors?"

"Like ghosts?"

"That's impossible. A friend of a friend of mine seemed to have passed the exam and even went to the Huaijiang Observation Bureau to have a look, but he didn't choose it in the end because he thought it was too far away. This was entirely his personal reason."

This was similar to the result of Chu Zhishui's own online search. There was no trace of ghosts in the Huaijiang Observation Bureau on the Internet.

If the narcissistic male ghost had not left such a deep impression on her, she would have suspected that what happened today was an illusion. There was no shadow on the wall, and nothing was chasing her.

But the narcissistic male ghost was too outrageous. She felt that humans would not be so shameless.

The next day, Chu Zhishui still drove to the Huaijiang Observation Bureau on time. Even if something strange happened in the bureau, she had to go through the formalities if she wanted to leave. It was impossible for her to leave without reason.

Fortunately, the morning in the Observation Bureau was normal and peaceful, with crystal dew condensed on the leaves of the ivy, and had nothing to do with the eerie and spooky.

"Xiao Chu came quite early." Hong Ximing happened to meet Chu Zhishui at the door and smiled, "How was your rest yesterday?"

"... Not bad." Chu Zhishui had suppressed her worries all night, and now that she saw Hong Ximing, she could finally express her confusion, "Sister Hong, our bureau should be quite normal."

Hong Ximing was confused: "What do you mean by that?"

Chu Zhishui felt guilty and tried cautiously: "It's impossible for there to be ghosts, right?"

Hong Ximing was stunned.

Chu Zhishui became more and more frightened: "... Could it be that there was a ghost before?"

Hong Ximing saw Chu Zhishui's pupils shrink slightly, and she quickly and enthusiastically grabbed the other party and said solemnly: "It is absolutely impossible to be a ghost."

"But yesterday..."

Hong Ximing's eyes were bright: "I can assure you that there was no ghost!"

There are only monsters in the bureau, how could there be ghosts?

Chu Zhishui was infected by Hong Ximing's loud words, and the blazing fire of socialism was almost ignited in his chest, burning all the evil monsters and demons that deceived the people, and barely felt a little relieved.

In the corridor, Hong Ximing led the way for Chu Zhishui in front, and the two went straight to the third floor of the office building and stopped in front of the logistics department.

Hong Ximing glanced into the room and said, "I'll go talk to them first."

Chu Zhishui had just arrived and needed Hong Ximing to say hello.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"No problem, no problem, wait outside for a moment."

Hong Ximing even closed the door when he entered the room, leaving Chu Zhishui alone waiting in the corridor. She was originally worried about seeing something dirty, but she was lucky today and nothing happened.

A few minutes later, Hong Ximing opened the door of the logistics department and introduced them enthusiastically: "Come in, this is the new Chu Zhishui, a top student from Yinhai City!"

"No, no, you're flattered." Chu Zhishui waved politely, and hurriedly walked into the room and greeted her colleagues, "Hello, everyone, I'm Chu Zhishui."

"Hello, hello, welcome!"

Chu Zhishui found that there were three people in the logistics department, two men and one woman. The men seemed to be older, and the only woman was about the same age as herself.

"Little Chu, don't be humble, you are a special talent recruited by Director Hu!" Hong Ximing said, and then scanned the people in the room. Her eyesight was rarely sharp, and there was a warning in her words.

"Director Hong, don't worry, there will be no problem!" The man with a big belly and a thick waist patted his chest vigorously, not knowing what he was promising. His eyes were round and small like black beans, and he said flatteringly, "Our Logistics Department has always been the most sensible."

Hong Ximing: "This is Wu Changgong, the head of the Logistics Support Department."

Chu Zhishui bowed: "Hello, Chief Wu."

"This is Niu Shi, in charge of the greening and canteen in our bureau." Hong Ximing pointed to a middle-aged square-faced man with dark skin, and looked at the short-haired girl in the corner, "That's Xiao Jin and Jin Yu, they just arrived not long ago."

Chu Zhishui greeted the new colleagues one by one. She quickly memorized their faces. The round-bellied man was Chief Wu, the square-faced man was Niu Shi, and the short-haired girl was Jin Yu.

Hong Ximing looked around the office and asked, "There's another person in your room, right?"

Wu Changgong waved his hand as if he had heard an unlucky topic, saying, "Oh, Director Hong, it's still unclear whether he is from the bureau!"

"Okay, then I've introduced him." Hong Ximing said concernedly, "Xiao Chu, you should get familiar with the logistics department first, and wait for Director Hu to come back and see how to arrange you."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Hong."

Hong Ximing took Chu Zhishui to the logistics department, and soon went upstairs to the personnel department.

Section chief Wu Changgong saw that Director Hong valued Chu Zhishui, and he even showed some superficial concern for her. When Director Hong completely left the logistics department, he immediately rushed out of the office, and no one knew where he went.

Fortunately, Niu Shi and Jin Yu both had good personalities and helped Chu Zhishui adapt to the new environment.

Niu Shi was a completely honest and simple elder brother, and he took the initiative to go to the warehouse to move a computer for Chu Zhishui.

Jin Yu led people around the room and asked, "Where do you want to sit? The section chief usually stays next door. This is Brother Niu's desk, and I'll sit here, or you can sit side by side with me?"

There were six desks in the room, many of which were covered with clutter. There were two desks with computers, which seemed to be the seats for Jin Yu and Niu Shi.

"I'll sit behind you." Chu Zhishui thought that sitting side by side with Jin Yu was too close to the door, and it would be easy for the leader to catch him off guard. "

Okay, then I'll take these things away!" Jin Yu volunteered to clean up the desk.

Chu Zhishui originally thought that no one was sitting behind her, but when she pulled out the chair, she realized something was wrong. There was no computer on the table behind her, but there were a lot of candies scattered on it, and even some candy wrappers that had not been thrown away.

"Is there someone behind me?"

"Oh, it's okay, he doesn't show up often."

Niu Shi hadn't come back from the warehouse yet, and Chu Zhishui and Jin Yu were sitting in the house chatting and laughing.

Jin Yu was a short-haired, round-faced, soft girl. Her hair was slightly yellow and thin, and her voice was soft and fluffy. She seemed to be ignorant of the world and simple-minded.

Before Chu Zhishui could even warm up her chair, Jin Yu spilled a lot of things like pouring beans. She also complained that Section Chief Wu didn't come to the office, but she didn't dare to offend Niu Shi, who was more experienced, and often threw messy work on herself.

Chu Zhishui listened with a smile on her face, nodding occasionally, and sighed that Jin Yu had indeed just arrived not long ago, or had not worked much.

Jin Yu must be very excited to see a female colleague, and finally have a partner. But if someone else were to listen to Jin Yu's complaints today, they might tell Section Chief Wu privately and stab her directly.

However, the new colleague is simply a good thing for Chu Zhishui. She was afraid of office struggles before, but now it seems that she can avoid a lot of trouble.

"What does the logistics department usually do?" Chu Zhishui saw Jin Yu standing there and asked, "You've been busy greeting me, will it disturb your work?"

"Normally there's not much to do, just a form."

"Then you do the form first, I'll just clean up."

"Okay, call me if you have anything."

Jin Yu was the only girl in the logistics department. She had just met Chu Zhishui and started chatting nonstop. Now she returned to her seat with a sense of unfulfilled desire and started to open the computer to do the form.

Chu Zhishui sat behind Jin Yu and watched the sunlight outside the window cast a light golden color on her back.

In the dim light, tiny dust particles were leaping and dancing in the air, and occasionally two or three tiny transparent bubbles were floating. The beautiful picture was dreamy and the years were peaceful.

...Wait, transparent bubbles?

Chu Zhishui was surprised to find that the fleeting bubbles were similar to the bubbles he blew with toys in the park when he was a child, but the shape was obviously smaller. The colorful bubbles floated out of the window with the wind, and soon broke and disappeared outside.

Where did these bubbles come from?

Chu Zhishui followed the movement of the bubbles with his eyes, and finally realized that the source was Jin Yu who was sitting in front.

The water dispenser happened to be on the upper left corner of Jin Yu. Chu Zhishui pretended to be calm and stood up to get some water. He took the opportunity to see Jin Yu working in front, and finally confirmed that his little colleague was blowing bubbles!

Jin Yu seemed to be worried about the form. She didn't pay attention to Chu Zhishui's expression. She scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously from time to time. Her lips opened and closed consciously, making a slight popping sound, like a fish poking its head out of the water.

This didn't look scary. It was just like biting nails and pursing lips. The only abnormality was that bubbles occasionally flew out of her mouth.

Chu Zhishui held the water cup in silence for a long time. She finally couldn't help but speak: "Jin Yu."

"What's the matter?" Jin Yu raised her eyes obediently, her voice innocent and cheerful.

Chu Zhishui stared at the innocent face of the other party. She swallowed softly and said casually: "Jin Yu, you are not a human being."

The air was stagnant and no one spoke.

Chu Zhishui saw with her own eyes that Jin Yu's expression changed slightly. She was stunned and panicked, her face was red as blood, her lips moved timidly, and she couldn't even hold back her two clear tears in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Chu Zhishui was confused for a moment. Was she wrong? Did she think she was cursing?

The next moment, Jin Yu couldn't hold back her tears at all. She suddenly burst into a wail, and said in fear: "...How did you know!?"

"..."

Jin Yu cried breathlessly, as if she had encountered a terrible disaster.

Chu Zhishui hesitated whether to expose the truth just now. She was afraid that Jin Yu would be angry and make trouble. However, the young colleague was now crying, which made her feel guilty and moved, and she mistakenly thought that she had said something racist and mean.

"If you are not a human, shouldn't I be the one crying?" Chu Zhishui grabbed a tissue from the table and handed it to Jin Yu who was crying non-stop. She patted her back comfortingly and said helplessly, "Why are you crying so hard?"

"I, I'm afraid..." Jin Yu cried so hard that she couldn't answer a complete sentence.

What are you afraid of as a non-human? Shouldn't humans be afraid! ?

Crocodiles only have two or three tears, but Jin Yu's tears can wash down the office, and then sing a song "Bubble" in the house.

The young colleague cried and spit bubbles, wishing to completely drown the surroundings, like pouring too much detergent into the washing machine, and colorful bubbles continued to overflow, quickly sweeping over a person and a monster.

Chu Zhishui was numb when she saw this scene, and her clothes were all wet.

She would rather she kept silent, blaming her for seeing through it, otherwise it wouldn't be all bubbles.
