Chapter 217 Extra (V) "Sleep-aiding artifact"?

Until one day, when it was almost time to get off work, it suddenly started to rain heavily and my colleagues were all complaining.

"God is unpredictable. When I went out in the morning, I checked the weather and it showed no rain. How come it started raining again when I got off work?"

"It's like the rain is deliberately torturing us workers. It either rains in the morning when we go to work, or in the evening when we get off work. There is no rain in between."

"..."

The colleagues who did not prepare umbrellas had their own complaints. Mingxi also felt annoyed. Her home was not far from the workplace, and she usually walked home as a daily exercise. Today she did not bring an umbrella, and the taxi app had already queued up for more than 60 people. Mingxi looked at the sky outside, looked for rainproof tools at hand, found a few plastic bags, and decided to go home in the rain with the plastic bags on her head.

Mingxi was immersed in her own thoughts and didn't notice that someone was watching her.

When it was time to get off work, colleagues showed their talents. Those who couldn't do it just waited for the rain to stop. Mingxi didn't want to wait, so she put on the plastic bag she had prepared and prepared to rush into the heavy rain.

As soon as she took a step forward, she was stopped by a voice of "Mingxi". The voice in the rain was not very real, but the gentle voice still stopped Mingxi.

Then, a warm big hand suddenly pulled her back. Mingxi was pulled down and fell into a warm embrace. The warmth of the palm, the sound of the heartbeat through the fabric, the touch and hearing stimulated Mingxi's nerves at the same time, making Mingxi's nerves tense and relax instantly, and an inexplicable warm current surged in her heart.

She looked up and saw the familiar and handsome face through the plastic bag. The rain on the plastic bag slid down Mingxi's chin to her collarbone. Mingxi realized that she was still wearing this thing. For a moment, Mingxi was swept by embarrassment again. She wanted to say something to thank her, but now she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill into and escape.

Seeing Mingxi lowering his head and not speaking, as if he was unhappy, Shi Yang pinched the corner of his clothes, and then handed the umbrella to Mingxi with one hand. Mingxi

looked up at him again, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she could only stubbornly hand the umbrella to her. Mingxi knew what he meant, and just wanted to ask him what he would do if the umbrella was given to her.

But seeing that he didn't say anything, Mingxi felt angry, and pulled the umbrella from his hand with force, spread the umbrella, and went home angrily.

Mingxi became more and more angry as she walked, and she didn't know what she was angry about. After walking for a long distance, she felt uneasy and prepared to return the same way to see what Shi Yang, who gave her the umbrella, would do. Who would have thought that

when she turned around, she would see that familiar figure not far behind her. He was holding the plastic bag he had just used on his head, and his whole body was soaked by the heavy rain. Mingxi couldn't describe the feeling at that moment. She only felt that the world had stopped, and she could only see that person. Mingxi didn't remember how she walked over. She only knew that when she came to her senses, she had walked to Shi Yang's side and hit half of the umbrella on Shi Yang's head. Shi Yang saw her coming over with an umbrella, and he didn't say anything either, but silently pulled the plastic bag off his head. The two of them didn't communicate, and walked towards Mingxi's house tacitly. When they arrived at Mingxi's apartment building, they saw a mother and son running over in the rain. When the boy saw the two of them, his eyes lit up and he turned to his mother and said, "Mom, it's the uncle who sleeps downstairs every day." The boy's words attracted Mingxi's attention. She was about to go upstairs when she stopped. She saw the boy's mother pull the boy over and cover his mouth to stop him from talking. As a result, the boy broke free from his mother's hand and said excitedly, "Mom, didn't you say that this uncle must have had a quarrel with his girlfriend and came to ask for his girlfriend's forgiveness? Look, the aunt and uncle have reconciled!" The boy pointed at Mingxi and Shi Yang and shared excitedly with his mother. His mother was extremely embarrassed, nodded to the two of them shyly, and dragged her child upstairs. The boy's voice could be heard from the corridor, "Mom, I said that handsome uncles must like pretty aunts! Mom, did you see, aunts are so pretty..." A restrained "Don't say that" was heard, and the voices of the mother and son disappeared. The corridor was quiet again. Because of the rain, the light in the corridor was dim. Mingxi stood on the first floor, which was just level with Shi Yang's line of sight. She asked Shi Yang in surprise, "Have you been sleeping downstairs in this building all this time?" Shi Yang nodded. Mingxi didn't understand and asked again, "Why? Isn't the bed at home nice? Why are you sleeping on the ground?" "There is no ground for sleeping. You have benches downstairs." Shi Yang's answer made Mingxi feel powerless. Is this what she meant? "I'm asking you, why don't you just go home and sleep!" "I can't sleep." "Huh?" "I can't sleep, I haven't been able to sleep for a long time. Only when I see you can I feel at ease and fall asleep." Hearing this, Mingxi was stunned, "What do you mean by can't sleep?" "I just can't sleep. I can't fall asleep all night long." Shi Yang answered her, his tone calm. "Have you seen a doctor?" Mingxi was a little worried. "I have. The doctor said it was a heart disease and prescribed sleeping pills for me. It worked at first, but soon it stopped working. I still can't sleep." As he said, Shi Yang looked at Mingxi steadily, "But since I met you, as long as I'm close to you, I can feel at ease and fall asleep!" Mingxi didn't know that she actually had this effect! "Then how do you take a shower and change clothes every day?" After saying this, Mingxi wanted to slap herself. At this time, she didn't know why she was so curious about this. She actually asked such a question. Mingxi felt annoyed. Shi Yang was also a little surprised that she would ask this, but still answered obediently, "I wake up at dawn. Sometimes there are people who get up early in the community, so I will be woken up. After waking up, I go home to take a shower and change clothes." "Oh, so, where do you live?" Mingxi asked another question that shouldn't be asked. "Not far from the unit, but not in the same direction as your home." "Did you buy the house yourself?" Mingxi made a series of stupid moves. She really wanted to shut up manually. She covered her mouth with her hand. This is what she should ask! "No, it's the house I rented." Mingxi nodded, determined not to say anything more. She wanted to let Shi Yang go, but seeing that he was soaking wet because he gave the umbrella to her, and he said that he could only fall asleep when he was close to her, Mingxi didn't want to say anything to chase him away, but she was also reluctant to invite a man to her home.
