Chapter 047 Do you play mahjong?
Lin Xi arrived at the second floor at 5:57. She leaned against the window at the end of the corridor and stared blankly for a while. She saw a figure on the other side of the corridor out of the corner of her eye. Needless to say, it was the ghost that had been dealt with before because she didn't follow him down.
Lin Xi turned his head and pretended not to see it.
At six o'clock, Lin Xi heard footsteps, and soon, three of her colleagues appeared in the corridor. There was no light in the corridor, but Lin Xi was holding a flashlight, and there was only one beam of light on her side, while there were three beams coming towards her.
At the moment when the lights intertwined, the footsteps stopped. Lin Xi knew that the opposite side had discovered her, so she smiled and looked up at her colleagues: "Are you back? It's still quite cold today, go in quickly." At 6:01, Lin Xi was the first to open the door of the duty room, walked in, and then sat down in her seat.
Soon after she sat down, her colleagues came in. They sat back in their seats without saying a word. Sister Sun looked at Lin Xi with a strange expression on her face. Her eyes were clear: No, how come you are still alive?
——I’m so embarrassed that I’m still alive.
Lin Xi didn't say this out loud. She just yawned and began to daydream. The last two hours had been quite difficult. Lin Xi was a young person who could pull an all-nighter, but after graduation, he rarely stayed up late. He only occasionally watched a movie with Shen Sangning, and then went to bed around two or three at the latest. Now it was seven o'clock, and he had to stay awake until work ended. After work, he had to go to breakfast, and then he could go back to his room to sleep. It was really troublesome.
Once she yawned, the next yawns would follow. Lin Xi yawned several times in a row, feeling a little sleepy. She did fall asleep for a while, but if she fell asleep and didn't go back to change clothes after 8 o'clock, it would likely trigger the rules.
Cai Hua was hesitating whether to send her a message, but Lin Xi woke up on her own. In fact, she didn't wake up on her own, but was woken up by Shen Sang Ning.
Chen Sangning didn't have the thought of waking Lin Xi up because it was time. She was simply unhappy that Lin Xi didn't wake her up to sleep with him, so she poked at Lin Xi.
She was still ignorant like a child, but she would act like a spoiled child and lose her temper. Even though she didn't need to sleep and couldn't fall asleep, Lin Xi always held her in her arms when she slept before. How could she fall asleep by herself now? And in front of others?
Of course Shen Sangning was unhappy.
Lin Xi was woken up by Chen Sangning. She didn't use much force, but Lin Xi hugged her arms in front of her chest. Chen Sangning poked her arms with her fingers, and Lin Xi's arms rushed forward. She couldn't maintain her center of gravity and would definitely wake up.
When she woke up, she checked the time. It was already 7:35, and the sky outside was already bright. Lin Xi simply stood up, yawning, stretching her muscles, and taking a little water to moisten her throat. Time flew by, and it was 7:55.
Uncle Li stood up from his chair, and the other two followed suit. Lin Xi knew it was almost time to get off work. Uncle Li collected the keys and maps on the table and placed them on the key cabinet beside him before pushing the door open and heading downstairs.
Lin Xi followed Uncle Li, and Xiao Zhao walked in last, turning off the lights and locking the door. After Lin Xi left, she didn't go far, but instead stayed there to watch Xiao Zhao for a while. The lights in the duty room had been on all night, even when they were out on patrol. Xiao Zhao only turned them off when it was time to leave.
In the employee rules, flashlights are also very important props. Lin Xi guessed that "light" should be very important in this ghost story. In addition, the duty room should also have corresponding rules, but they are not directly posted on the door panel, so they should be hidden.
Last night, Lin Xi had no time to look for rules, nor did she take the initiative to do anything. She was just following the instructions and following the actions of her colleagues. Even when she left the house just now, she hurried out behind Uncle Li, who hadn't done anything, for fear of being the last one.
As expected, the last person to come out did have to do something, luckily Lin Xi went out early.
Otherwise, wouldn't Shen Sang Ning's existence be exposed?
They arrived downstairs before eight o'clock. Lin Xi looked at her watch. There was only one minute left before getting off work. She was not in a hurry to go out. She waited until eight o'clock and saw Uncle Li also staring at his watch, then put down his watch and walked out. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Xi quickly returned to her room and changed out of her work uniform before heading to the cafeteria. As usual, the cafeteria chef brought her a ton of food, including three meat buns. Knowing she'd be sleeping a lot tonight, Lin Xi devoured all three buns, adding a bowl of soy milk and a fried dough stick.
After eating, Lin Xi ran around the funeral home for a while before going back to sleep. This time, she called out Shen Sangning, who was a little unhappy. Lin Xi had no idea what was wrong with her.
Shen Sangning had her back to Lin Xi. She had already laid down on the bed, but she didn't come over to get close to Lin Xi.
Instead, he floated outside the bed and showed Lin Xi the back of his head.
Lin Xi really didn't understand what Shen Sangning was upset about. Lin Xi had to admit that when Shen Sangning was alive, she had always been the one who took care of her. Although she cooked all the meals herself, Shen Sangning's stable mood actually helped Lin Xi a lot.
When she was wronged at work, she would go home and spend time with Shen Sangning, who would comfort her; when she couldn't continue playing the game, Shen Sangning would praise her for playing very well; when she occasionally felt lazy and wanted to take a leave, Shen Sangning would drag her out of bed and take her to catch the subway together.
Lin Xi has always been a very willful little girl, because Chen Sang Ning has always tolerated her.
Compared to Lin Xi, Chen Sangning had always been emotionally stable, rarely losing her temper. Therefore, Lin Xi had little experience coaxing Chen Sangning. She hadn't had any experience coaxing Chen Sangning when she was alive, but she had experienced it after she died. Thinking of this, Lin Xi smiled.
It was hard to tell whether it was bitter or gentle. She reached out and tugged at the hem of Shen Sangning's skirt. Shen Sangning pulled her own skirt over and turned to look at Lin Xi. Her eyes seemed to say: I'm angry, come and comfort me.
Lin Xi knew that even the ignorant Shen Sang Ning was not the type to get angry for no reason. He must have done something that made her unhappy without knowing it. So Lin Xi opened his mouth and said, "Wife, I'm sorry. Please forgive me."
As long as she spoke in a humble tone, Shen Sangning could no longer be upset. Instead, she rushed towards her, hugged her neck, and said,
She said in a low voice: "You can't leave me alone! Sleep alone!"
Lin Xi finally understood what Chen Sang Ning was upset about. This was something a living Chen Sang Ning would never show; she wouldn't get upset with Lin Xi over such a small matter. However, the bitterness in Lin Xi's smile faded, and a gentleness grew. "Okay, I'll take you everywhere."
She didn't think Shen Sangning's annoyance was troublesome, or that she was being pretentious. She simply thought that beneath Shen Sangning's strong, stable appearance, she was actually just a little girl. After death, letting go of everything, the ignorant Shen Sangning might be revealing her true self.
This kind of Shen Sangning is not bad. She used to rely on Shen Sangning and was always taken care of by Shen Sangning. Now it is her turn to take care of Shen Sangning's emotions, which is also reasonable. Lin Xi patted Shen Sangning's back: "Ningning, go to sleep."
"Um."
After waking up from a nap, Lin Xi looked at the time and went to eat dinner. After dinner, he took a walk and it was time to go to work again. Lin Xi's life began to become regular. Every day he would stay up late to work, sleep during the day, and wake up to eat dinner.
To be honest, working the night shift and the daily routine almost made Lin Xi numb. Her brain became a little dull. There was nothing she could do about it. This was the result of working too many night shifts.
The only thing that can give Lin Xi some excitement is that during the night shift, some strange ghosts always appear to deliver food to Shen Sang Ning. The toilet is a high-incidence area, and there are often strange-looking ghosts. It is worth mentioning that the ghost on the second floor on the first day has not been killed, and Uncle Li also expanded the patrol range for Lin Xi.
After attending this class for ten days, there were finally some changes.
Perhaps because Lin Xi had not been killed by those ghosts for a long time, the colleagues became impatient. On the twelfth night, Sister Sun made an unusual suggestion.
"Lin Xi, you have been with us for a long time. Do you find the night shift boring?"
Lin Xi, whose eyes were wide open from staying up late, raised her head and shook her head after hearing what Sister Sun said: "No, it's okay actually." She was telling the truth. She was quite happy when she was on patrol. There were always weird guys coming to her. But the days in the duty room were rather boring.
Sister Sun smiled and said, "Oh, we all know that young people can stay up late, but they really can't stand being bored." She smiled mysteriously, put down the wool that she had been knitting for more than ten days without moving, and lowered her voice: "Do you play mahjong?"
Nowadays, not many young people know how to play mahjong. They will never go to a mahjong parlor. They may be called to play mahjong during festivals, so they learn to play mahjong. But most of them don't know how to play mahjong, such as Chen Sangning, who has never even touched mahjong.
As for Lin Xi, she does fight, but usually, only when she wanted to be a bad girl.
Hearing Sister Sun say this, Lin Xi was a little tempted. She knew playing mahjong would definitely lead to trouble, but she was simply too bored. Furthermore, this was a sign that Sister Sun and the others were ready to attack her, so Lin Xi chose to accept the challenge.
Mainly because it's too boring.
"Okay, but I'm not very good at it."
Sister Sun smiled even more happily: "Don't be afraid, we don't know how to play either." When Xiao Zhao heard Sister Sun's words, he went to the cabinet to get out the mahjong tiles, while Uncle Li started to tidy up the table. As soon as Lin Xi agreed, the mahjong table was cleared out and the green-backed mahjong tiles were piled on it.
Xiao Zhao took out a piece of paper from the deck of cards: "We are playing the national standard game. Here are the rules. Please remember them."
Lin Xi didn't know much, but she took a quick look and understood the rules. You can eat, touch, gang, and win, but you can't bring flowers, and you can have multiple shots. There's something written on the back of the rules, and Lin Xi flipped through it. It's all densely packed with numbers and card types.
