Little Sweethearts 01
"You're leaving get off work so early, do you have a new part-time job?"
Jiang Qixin looked at Song Jing and smiled. "I'm making a killing from my part-time job tonight, earning 100 yuan an hour. I'm leaving now without saying anything more to you. Bye!"
Jiang Qixin walked quickly to the underground parking garage with her bag on her back. The temperature in the parking garage was a bit low, even though it was early summer and the weather was warming up.
Not knowing where the gloomy cold wind came from, Jiang Qixin touched the goose bumps on her hands and shuddered. After finding her car, she entered the destination on the automatic driving system and sat in the passenger seat, squinting her eyes and taking a nap.
Their company gets off work relatively early, so they can still barely avoid the evening rush hour, but the traffic is a bit congested now.
Fortunately, the part-time job was not far away, so she quickly arrived at her destination and parked her car in the underground garage of the shopping mall.
After having dinner in the mall, she went straight to the horror chamber on the sixth floor. She greeted the staff with ease, and the staff took her to the dressing room.
Jiang Qixin's part-time job today is to play an NPC lying in a coffin in a horror chamber with only one line of dialogue. Because players need to look for clues from the NPC she plays, they may interact with her. For the sake of experience, the NPC's sense of humor cannot be too low.
Jiang Qixin just doesn't like to laugh, especially in an environment with a lot of strangers around.
Moreover, her horoscope is quite strong, so dark and gloomy places have no side effects on her. Apart from feeling a little cool, she is not afraid.
Sometimes, Jiang Qixin still hopes that there really are ghosts in this world.
After putting on makeup and changing clothes, the staff took her to the place where she would work today.
She stepped on a chair and climbed into the wooden coffin. The coffin was padded with bedding, so it was not uncomfortable to lie in. The coffin she was in was placed in a small room.
Jiang Qixin didn't have to do anything. She just had to sit up and say a line when the first player who discovered her appeared, and her work for the night was done.
The hourly wage for such an easy job is about the same as hers at work. For a top student like her, it is a huge profit.
Tonight's group of players must have been veterans, and they quickly found her, a key NPC. Upon seeing the figure, Jiang Qixin, with a pale face and dressed in a red bridal gown, sat up from the coffin and silently said to the air, "Save me, save me, save me."
The NPC she played was hanged, so Jiang Qixin even lowered her voice even more than usual.
A brave young male player walked towards her. There was a lucky bag tied to her clothes, and that lucky bag was the key clue.
But the light here is very dim, and the brocade bag and the wedding dress are both dark in color, so you may not be able to see them clearly with the naked eye.
However, this player seemed to be very familiar with the routine. He stood beside the coffin and smiled at Jiang Qixin.
Jiang Qixin still stared blankly at the gray wall, ignoring the player's actions.
The player had a flashlight tool in his hand and quickly found the treasure bag on her body. However, unlocking the treasure bag was a technical job. The coffin was raised, and it might be difficult for a 1.8-meter-tall person to reach in while standing. The player leaned over and reached out towards the treasure bag with some difficulty.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from the room. The temperature was very low, but it didn't feel like the wind was just blowing out of the air conditioner.
Jiang Qixin was wearing a wig, and her waist-length hair fluttered slightly in the cold wind. The broken hair on her face also flew towards her face, making her feel a little itchy.
There was a strange noise coming from the speakers in the secret room.
Jiang Qixin was not surprised by this. This escape room was very famous, with exquisite props and an excellent professional experience for the actors. In addition to vision, hearing, smell and even touch could be simulated.
The player seemed to swallow nervously, and with trembling hands he tried to untie the brocade bag on Jiang Qixin's body. However, the cold wind seemed to blow even stronger, and even the noise sounded more and more uncomfortable. The sound waves were like iron nails hitting everyone's eardrums, and the stinging sensation became stronger and stronger.
Before the player could figure out how he unlocked the treasure bag, it fell off Jiang Qixin's clothes. The player hurriedly picked up the treasure bag from the coffin and quickly left the gloomy room.
Jiang Qixin's mission was officially completed. She lay back in the coffin and simply took a nap in it.
By the time the game was over, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. After checking out, Jiang Qixin returned to the underground parking garage. The garage was a little quiet, but this was the peak time for the mall, so occasionally some cars would drive into the garage.
Jiang Qixin has very good hearing and occasionally hears the sound of car wheels rolling over the concrete road. She turns the car keys with her fingers and walks to her car happily.
A sound similar to that of a plastic bag being rubbed came from his ears. Jiang Qixin was stunned for a moment. When he pricked up his ears to listen carefully, the sound disappeared.
Maybe it was the rats living in the parking garage downstairs dragging the plastic bag...
Jiang Qixin got back into the car, this time heading to where she lived. She leaned back in the car seat, staring blankly at the air. When she wasn't working, it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to concentrate.
Whenever she has nothing to do, she tends to stare into the air in a daze, but she feels that her life actually has no meaning, so staring into the air is a good way to kill time.
As she was daydreaming, she returned to the place where she lived recently.
She lives in a detached building. The building is not tall, with only six floors. The first floor is a shop, the second floor is an empty storage room, and the third to sixth floors are rented out.
The hostess is a local. Since her whole family has settled abroad and there is only one room left for rent, the price she rents it to is very cost-effective.
There is a subway and a suspended station nearby, as well as a hospital and a shopping mall. Most importantly, it is very close to her company, which is much more cost-effective than the place she rented before.
Jiang Qixin had just graduated for over a year, and the money she earned was not enough to buy a house in City A, not even a down payment.
Although her biological parents left her a considerable inheritance and her adoptive parents also thought about buying her a house here, she still refused.
After the car stopped automatically, Jiang Qixin suddenly remembered something very important. She had made soup at home at noon today and seemed to have forgotten to turn off the light.
"Oh no!" Jiang Qixin slapped his thigh and suddenly exclaimed, his brain seemed to go blank for a moment.
She had done this before. She was cooking soup but forgot to keep track of the time. When she returned home after doing something else, the pot had exploded and the soup and minced meat were all over the kitchen counter.
The kitchen was filled with smoke and dust, and even the dining table outside the living room was covered in black ash. The natural gas in the kitchen was still burning, but fortunately there were no flammable objects nearby, so no fire broke out. The neighbors thought she had an accident and called in the property management to knock on her door.
She opened the car door in a hurry and ran straight home. She was so anxious that she even forgot that the smart appliances in her home could be turned on and off remotely, and she could turn off the power or close the gas valve with just a click on her phone.
When she ran back home and didn't smell any burnt smell, she felt a little relieved. She broke into the kitchen and found that she had not forgotten to turn off the fire.
Jiang Qixin leaned against the wall, patted her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she remembered to turn it off this time.
Looking at her empty hands, Jiang Qixin realized that she had run too fast and left her bag and cell phone in the car.
She dragged her somewhat tired body into the elevator and returned to the underground garage downstairs in the community.
She picked up her bag from the passenger seat, but her eyes were fixed on a little doll hanging in the car.
Jiang Qixin frowned as she looked at the little doll, and thought of Xu Chengan again. They had bought this doll together.
Even this car was the one they went to see with his parents when he graduated.
But he later died and the car was left to her as part of his estate.
Oh, who is Xu Chengan? He is her nominal boyfriend and the only child of her adoptive parents.
Or her dead first love.
Jiang Qixin sighed and gently stroked the little baby with her fingertips. She frowned and smiled helplessly. After closing the car door, she walked back to her home.
She lives on the sixth floor, where there are only two houses. She rents a house with two bedrooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen. There is also a girl living across from her, who seems to be a freelance painter and is rarely seen going out.
It was almost half past nine when Jiang Qixin entered the password and returned home. She walked to the balcony, collected her clothes and towels, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower. She was sweating from running around, and the steaming bathroom washed away all her fatigue from the whole day.
It was already ten o'clock when she finished washing up. She usually went to work at nine o'clock in the morning, so she usually went to bed before eleven o'clock.
When Jiang Qixin lay back on the bed with his phone in hand, he looked to see if there was any news or funny posts worth reading today.
She is not short of money, but she likes to fill her life completely. After work, she will do part-time jobs. When she returns home from her part-time job, it is already very late. After washing up and looking at her mobile phone for a while, it is time to go back to bed and rest.
In this way, she wouldn't have any extra time to think about Xu Cheng'an.
Jiang Qixin put down the phone and looked at the white ceiling, a melancholy expression on his face again.
But the work was so tiring that before she could think for long, she fell into a deep sleep with her head resting on the pillow.
The weather was getting a little hot today. She was wearing a pair of shorts and pajamas. The air conditioner in the bedroom was set to a relatively cool level, and she only had a little quilt covering her belly.
The room was very quiet. It was not far from the road and only the occasional sound of cars passing by could be heard. The neon lights outside the window shone faintly into the room through the curtains.
Suddenly, two beeping sounds were heard in the room, where the only sounds were the operation of electrical appliances and her steady breathing. It was the sound of the air conditioner remote control.
Jiang Qixin adjusted the air conditioner from 22° to 25°, and the mode also changed to sleep mode.
The quilt on the bed seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind from nowhere, and even shook in the air, and the whole quilt covered her.
Jiang Qixin's exposed feet were a little cold due to the air conditioner, so the quilt wrapped her feet tightly.
Her eyes rolled around in the dark room and she seemed to be dreaming.
He stood by the bed, looked at her, and touched her trembling eyelids.
