If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ji Xiunian would have found it hard to imagine that a young student in his prime would commit suicide because of a loan.
Eight thousand to one hundred thousand is indeed a multiple increase, but is it really worth giving up one's life for one hundred thousand?
His thoughts were complicated, and he thought a lot at once. Looking at Lu Xu, he was calm from beginning to end. Even after listening to Guo Lian's story, he didn't react much. He just asked him to confirm the information and set off.
"Will they be punished if I die?" Since even unscientific things like the god of death exist, there should be cause and effect in the world. Guo Lian was unwilling to die, and couldn't help but chase Lu Xu and ask a lot of questions, "And my parents, they shouldn't be harassed after I die, they are all very honest, I really worry about them..."
Lu Xu didn't want to say too much to Guo Lian, but after all, it was Ji Xiunian's first internship, so he gave him some face.
"Retribution is very mysterious and talks about cause and effect. Many times it is not retribution in this life, otherwise why do you think those bad people can gain both fame and fortune." Lu Xu raised his eyebrows and didn't deliberately comfort him. "After death, don't worry about your life. When the time comes, you should go on the road."
He stopped talking, and didn't care about Guo Lian's reaction. He sent him to the underworld politely.
Ji Xiunian witnessed the whole process and felt that everything was beyond his cognition.
Before this, he had never thought about what would happen after his death. After all, death is like the extinguishing of a light, and everything is gone.
But after seeing Lu Xu's complete door-to-door service, Ji Xiunian always felt that he seemed to have a different understanding of death. He couldn't tell what it felt like for the time being.
Lu Xu sent Guo Lian away and then sent the information sheet, and this deal was over.
"Brother Nian, you have seen the process just now, and you can ask me if you have any questions." As a guide for newcomers, Lu Xu's work attitude can be said to be quite enthusiastic and considerate.
Ji Xiunian never dreamed that he could get such a high salary because of "work".
Lu Xu never forgot to explain to Ji Xiunian when he was working, so he was relatively familiar with the process.
Although Guo Lian was a spirit, in Ji Xiunian's eyes, he was once a living person. It was a pity that a life passed away in front of him.
Lu Xu seemed to be a worm in Ji Xiunian's stomach. He could tell what he was thinking at a glance: "We are the god of death, and we only care about what we should care about. There are thousands of reasons for death, and nothing has anything to do with us except death itself."
Whether it was an accident or suicide, it was death itself that brought them here. There are
countless people who died because of debt. Everyone has their own choices and experiences, and others can't influence anything.
Lu Xu spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he took death lightly.
I don't know if it was influenced by him, but Ji Xiunian suddenly felt that death seemed to be just like that.
At the same time, the staff of the program team were following the trainees and filming them, trying to record their images before the second elimination.
After all, they have been here for a long time, and the trainees not only have feelings for their "classmates", but also have a fateful bond with their mentors.
The four mentors invited by the program team are all popular artists in the circle. If it weren't for this talent show, many trainees may not have the opportunity to perform on the same stage with them in their lifetime.
Everyone mustered up their courage and knocked on the mentors' doors one by one, thinking of having a final commemoration.
As a trainee ranked 55th in the first performance, Yao Yulong joked that the chance of being eliminated this time was very high. In order not to leave any regrets in this talent show career, he decided to ask Ji Xiunian for a photo and autograph.
"I've always liked Brother Nian's movies, but I've never had a chance to talk to him properly, nor have I come to say hello. I don't know why I'm scared, but I don't know if I'll still be around after tomorrow, so I might as well muster up my courage for once." Yao Yulong was a little shy when he spoke, and it seemed like he had mustered up all his courage.
He stood at Ji Xiunian's door with his lips pursed, first sticking out his tongue at the camera, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Brother Nian, can I talk to you for a few minutes?"
Yao Yulong waited anxiously for the answer, rehearsing the scene of the meeting and what he was going to say over and over in his mind.
"Knock, knock..."
"Brother Nian?"
Yao Yulong waited anxiously for a long time, but for some reason there was no movement inside.
Ji Xiunian must be there at this time, after all, he called Lu Xu not long ago.
But the knock on the door was so loud, and it was too quiet inside. Yao Yulong couldn't help but look back at the photographer, and asked hesitantly: "Maybe Brother Nian is sleeping?"
At this time, it is neither noon nor evening, and it is not a good time to sleep.
Tang Yanqing looked at the images coming from the corridor and couldn't help but feel strange.
Even if he was really resting, Ji Xiunian's sleep was light, and this knock on the door was enough to wake him up.
But Ji Xiunian's personality determined that if he heard the knock on the door, he would not fail to open the door.
Others don't know the cause and effect, but Tang Yanqing saw it clearly on the surveillance camera -
not long before Yao Yulong came, Lu Xu knocked on Ji Xiunian's door and walked in, and never came out again.
That means that Ji Xiunian is not the only one in his room now, but also Lu Xu.
In this case, even if one of them didn't hear anything, the other should have opened the door.
Tang Yanqing frowned and thought for a moment. He was about to tell the VJ that he could go over to take more shots later, but he didn't expect Ji Xiunian's door to suddenly open from the inside.
"Sorry, I didn't hear it just now." Ji Xiunian was wrapped in a bath towel, his hair was still dripping with water, and he looked like he had just taken a shower.
If he was in the bathroom, it would be normal not to hear anything.
"It's okay, Brother Nian. I'm sorry to bother you." The gentler Ji Xiunian was, the more embarrassed Yao Yulong felt.
He originally wanted to take a photo with him and get a special autograph. He caught a glimpse of a corner in the room and was a little surprised at first, then smiled at Ji Xiunian: "Brother Nian, please clean up first. I'll come back later to get an autograph and take a photo, okay?"
Yao Yulong blocked the door, and people outside couldn't see what was going on inside.
He was afraid that the camera would capture something that shouldn't be captured, so he even deliberately moved his position and blocked the camera with his back.
Although Ji Xiunian was wrapped tightly in a bathrobe, the loose bathrobe sank down, and his beautiful clavicle and chest muscle lines could still be seen. This kind of picture of a male god emerging from the bath is certainly eye-catching, but considering the nature of the program, the photographer did not think of shooting anything too revealing.
The group came to Ji Xiunian's door with a smile, and left while talking about the topics they were interested in.
Yao Yulong changed his usual silence and talked to the people around him.
However, the moment he lowered his eyes, he couldn't help but think about the scene he had just seen -
through the mirror in Ji Xiunian's room, he could see the scene on the bed, for example, he saw the figure of an acquaintance.
He always knew that Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian had a good relationship, but Ji Xiunian was obviously taking a shower, and Lu Xu was sitting on Ji Xiunian's bed at this moment, which inevitably made people think too much.
In fact, if you think more simply, Lu Xu might have come here specially to thank the tutor just like him.
But if that were the case, Ji Xiunian would not need to take a shower, and Lu Xu would not need to squat inside and keep silent, pretending that he was not there...
"No, don't let your imagination run wild..."
Realizing that the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, Yao Yulong quickly stopped his imagination. But the facts were in front of him, and the interaction between the two people seemed suspicious.
At this moment, the staff member next to him mentioned Ji Xiunian's cleanliness, and said that he was good in everything else, but he could not accept other people getting into his bed.
How is that possible!
Yao Yulong wanted to refute, if he could not accept other people getting into his bed, then Lu Xu was nothing.
But when he came to his senses and thought about it again, he realized that he seemed to have really discovered something incredible.
No one else could get into his bed, only Lu Xu could...
This matter was really suspicious!
***
"Did they leave?" Lu Xu pulled Eighth Sister off the bed and asked Ji Xiunian casually.
"They've left." Ji Xiunian felt a little nervous when he said this, as if he was lying.
When he and Lu Xu came back, Yao Yulong and the others were knocking on the door, and they didn't know how long they had been waiting. In order to explain why he didn't open the door, Ji Xiunian took off his clothes and took a shower without thinking, creating the illusion of taking a shower.
As for Lu Xu, he went into the room. Anyway, they wouldn't come in, so it didn't matter.
Seeing Ji Xiunian let out a long sigh of relief, Lu Xu couldn't help but smile: "Brother Nian, do you think we looked like we were caught cheating in bed?"
Cheating...
caught cheating in bed...
these two words were like a switch, Ji Xiunian felt his face hot when he heard them, and then replied: "Don't talk nonsense." "
Really?" Lu Xu seemed to be in high spirits, and asked with a smile, "Well, Brother Nian, were you nervous just now?"
The situation just now was quite stimulating to the brain, and Ji Xiunian was really inexplicably nervous and guilty. Facing Lu Xu's doubts, he did not lie, but nodded with a smile: "Yeah, I don't know why I feel nervous and guilty."
"That's it." Lu Xu couldn't help laughing, and always felt that Ji Xiunian's actions just now were a bit of a cover-up, but inexplicably made people feel cute.
Lu Xu stood up from the bed and walked in front of Ji Xiunian, with the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, as if to comfort him, "Brother Nian, this is nothing, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. When the number of times is large, you won't feel nervous anymore..."
Lu Xu was obviously talking about collecting heads and concealing his identity, but Ji Xiunian always felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't dare to think too much, just nodded and asked Lu Xu: "Are there any more orders today? When is the next order?"
"Of course there are." Lu Xu told Ji Xiunian the death rate in the East District and the average number of deaths per day, and then said, "You have already practiced one order today, and I can go by myself for the rest."
Ji Xiunian didn't want to be lazy, so he just asked him: "I don't feel tired, can I go with you?" If he
is familiar with the business earlier, he can start work earlier and help him share the business earlier.
Lu Xu was naturally happy that his new colleague had such an idea.
He smiled at Ji Xiunian and readily agreed to his request.
Just when Lu Xu was about to open the door and leave, there was a knock on the door.
Lu Xu glanced outside, then turned back and asked Ji Xiunian: "It's a new director, what should we do?"
