Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Family (Twenty-three)

Ning Helan was quick-witted and quick-handed. She took a step forward, leaped into the air and steadily caught the little puppy in her arms.

The little girl saw Ning Helan fall to the ground and ran over quickly. Ning Helan handed the dog in his arms to her: "Hold it tight."

Fortunately, the puppy was fine because she caught it in time. The little girl hugged the puppy tightly and kissed it again and again. After that, she smiled sweetly at Ning Helan: "Thank you, brother."

Then the little girl looked at Fang Hui over there: "Huh! Such a big person is still afraid of a puppy, shame on you!"

"Hey, what are you talking about, girl!" Fang Hui changed his frightened expression just now, glared, raised his hands, took a step forward, and made a gesture to hit someone. Seeing that the situation

was not good, the little girl turned around and ran, and stopped after running far away. Maybe she was not satisfied, so she turned around and made a face at Fang Hui.

"Hey, stop! You little brat!" Fang Hui pretended to roll up his sleeves and was about to step forward. Ning Helan glanced at him indifferently from the side. Fang Hui immediately withdrew his hand and forced a smile, "It was just a joke. How could I really hit her? I never bully children."

Seeing that Ning Helan didn't say anything, Fang Hui put his hand on Ning Helan's shoulder, with a close look, "Don't look at me like that. Don't you know who I am? I was just joking, hehe."

Although Ning Helan didn't think the so-called joke just now was funny at all, he decided not to say anything for the time being.

After returning home, the first thing Fang Hui did was to tease the chicken. As expected, the chicken chased him around the house and beat him.

Chun Chun just lived up to the saying, "I'm full and tired." Ning Helan wanted to stop them, but when he thought that neither the chicken nor the man was real, he let them make trouble.

He came to his grandfather's room and took out a book from the drawer - "Record of Demons and Ghosts".

In Ning Guohua's drawer, there were more than a dozen identical books.

Although Ning Guohua gave Fang Hui a book before, Ning Helan didn't intend to tell Fang Hui to avoid his suspicion.

Fang Hui's behavior just now was obviously different from before, which made him remember that he had seen it in the Record of Demons and Ghosts before, but he couldn't remember the specific content.

After flipping through the book for a long time, he found it.

His slender fingers touched the slightly yellowed pages. Looking at the introduction of the ghosts, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, but he could try this "Fang Hui" first.

Fang Hui had just fought with the chicken brother and screamed. Now the two of them were finally tired, so he slumped on the sofa, eating potato chips with one mouthful and changing TV channels with the remote control in the other.

He saw Ning Helan enter the bathroom with his peripheral vision, and then there was the sound of running water. Hearing

the sound of water, Fang Hui showed a disgusted expression, and then continued to stuff potato chips into his mouth.

After a while, the sound of water stopped, and Ning Helan called Fang Hui's name in the bathroom.

Fang Hui responded lazily: "What?"

"Please help me get a towel. It's on the bed in my bedroom." Ning Helan shouted in the bathroom.

Fang Hui stood up reluctantly, went to Ning Helan's bed to pick up the towel, then stood at the bathroom door and said, "I put it here."

"Please bring it in for me. There's something wrong with the water flow of this shower head. I'll take a look first."

Fang Hui looked at the towel in his hand, and then looked at the water vapor and water droplets sliding down the frosted door of the bathroom. He really didn't want to go in: "Then can you come to the door to get it?"

"Okay."

Hearing Ning Helan's agreement, Fang Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw a vague figure appear at the door. As the door opened a crack, Fang Hui handed out the towel, but unexpectedly a stream of hot water suddenly sprinkled on his wrist holding the towel.

"Uh!" Fang Hui quickly withdrew his hand and wiped the water on his hand desperately. He stared at Ning Helan in astonishment.

Ning Helan held the shower head in her hand and smiled: "Sorry, the shower head is indeed a bit broken."

Ning Helan was afraid that he would not believe it, so she suddenly widened the gap in the door and pointed the shower head towards Fang Hui: "If you don't believe me, look..."

"Wow!"

As Ning Helan spoke, warm water spurted out from the shower head and poured all over Fang Hui. Fang Hui's eyes widened instantly, his legs went weak and he stepped back repeatedly, slamming into the wall with a bang, and his body slid down. His mouth opened unconsciously, and he looked at Ning Helan in horror.

Ning Helan stared at Fang Hui innocently, trying to reach out and grab something to stand up, but he grabbed for a long time but caught nothing. He saw Ning Helan's hand holding the shower head move, and he quickly got up from the ground, turned around and ran outside.

The room seemed to have experienced a moment of chaos, and then it quickly became quiet, except for the sound of water dripping in the bathroom.

Ning Helan stood there holding the shower head, and turned off the switch in his hand. Water drops flowed down his bangs, pressed over his long and dense eyelashes, and fell on the ground, splashing a little water.

"Xiao Lan, what are you doing at home?" Qin Yang looked at the water on the floor, and closed the door after entering. He took out shoe covers and put them on, and saw Ning Helan came out wrapped in a bath towel, wiping the water droplets on her hair while pouring water.

"What happened to Xiao Hui? I see he is all wet." Qin Yang walked over and squatted, took out a disposable water cup from the cabinet, and also filled some water.

Ning Helan said: "Nothing, the faucet just broke, and he was soaked."

"Then why did he... run? I thought he was scalded by boiling water."

"...Go pick up the express."

Not to mention that it was already past eleven o'clock, and the community express station was closed. Fang Hui couldn't be considered alive now, and it was impossible for him to go pick up the express, right? This must be your weird sense of humor, Ning Helan, Qin Yang smiled.

"You just said the faucet is broken? Then I'll go take a look?" Qin Yang said.

"It's not seriously damaged. I just fixed it." Ning Helan glanced at Qin Yang, "Brother Yang, why are you here?"

"Hey, I was planning to go home to sleep after having dinner with you guys, but I didn't expect to be called back by our captain halfway. Look, I have just finished dealing with the matter." Qin Yang said, and then he fell to the side and collapsed on the sofa. "I have to deal with things here tomorrow, so Xiaolan, I'll borrow your sofa for a while..."

Ning Helan looked at Qin Yang without saying anything. Qin Yang had closed his eyes, but when he felt Ning Helan's eyes open again, he said, "Why are you staring at me?"

Ning Helan walked into the bathroom, took out a towel and threw it to him, "You can borrow the sofa, but go take a shower first."

Late at night, twelve o'clock.

Qin Yang, who was just complaining about being sleepy, saw a video before closing his eyes. He watched it for more than 20 minutes and felt alert. Then he saw a food video and felt hungry.

He raised his head and looked at Ning Helan. Just as he was about to speak, Ning Helan said, "No."

"...I haven't said anything yet."

"No matter what you want to say, it's not okay."

"...Hey, kid, I can't even treat you to a midnight snack?"

"It's past twelve o'clock. Do you want to become fat?"

Qin Yang sat up from the sofa at once: "I consume more calories every day, so I won't get fat."

"..." Ning Helan wanted to say something, but heard the door open, and then saw a person quietly closing the door, and then the dog walked in stealthily.

It was Fang Hui.

Fang Hui was visibly startled when he saw Ning Helan and Qin Yang sitting on the sofa. He put on an ugly smile and said, "You guys haven't gone to bed yet?"

"Hey, Xiao Hui, you're back just in time. I'll treat you to a late-night snack. What do you want to eat?"

Fang Hui suddenly became more energetic: "Hey, I want to eat barbecued ribs."

"No problem."

Then the two of them started ordering takeout in full swing. Ning Helan looked at Fang Hui calmly from the side for several times. The clothes and hair that were wet just now were completely dry. Not to mention whether he would dry out so quickly because of the weather today. The way he looked now seemed different from the person who was screaming just now.

But Ning Helan didn't want to expose him at this time, so he just pretended not to know.

Soon, hot barbecue arrived, with sizzling ribs, soft potatoes, sweet corn, and other vegetables.

Ning Helan didn't have much appetite at first, but Qin Yang persuaded him for a long time, so he ate some out of courtesy.

Fang Hui chewed the crispy bones in his mouth, watching Qin Yang eat happily, so he moved closer to him: "Brother Yang, you are so tired every day, don't you think about changing jobs?"

"What job?"

"Hey, there are so many easy jobs, you must be better at anything else than what you are doing now, being a policeman is too tiring." Fang Hui said.

Qin Yang smiled, "It's very tiring."

"Then you..."

"At first, my family didn't allow me to learn Taoism from Grandpa Ning, so they forced me to apply for the police academy. But after a few years of college and so many years of classes, the work of a police officer has become a kind of belief of mine... a habit."

Qin Yang spoke from the bottom of his heart, with a faint light flashing in his eyes.

"If you ask me, don't do this job. Wait until I tell my dad one day, and you can go to work in my company, and I will give you this salary." Fang Hui crossed his legs, shaking the half-gnawed bone in his hand, and looked like a street urchin. "Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly."

After saying that, he patted Qin Yang's shoulder in a serious manner, as if to let me do this, so don't worry.

Qin Yang: ...

Fang Hui was originally waiting happily for Qin Yang to thank him, but he didn't expect Qin Yang and Ning Helan to look at him as if he were a fool, so he coughed and said, "Just, just pretend that I didn't say anything, eat, eat, hey, these spare ribs are really good..."

The clock pointed to one o'clock in the middle of the night, and the barbecue with a weird atmosphere was also finished.

After Fang Hui was full, he fell asleep, and his sleeping posture on the sofa was so ugly.

Qin Yang felt that he had eaten a little too much, so he went to the balcony to light a cigarette.

Ning Helan also walked over and stood beside him to enjoy the night breeze.

"Xiao Lan, I found that you are worried." Qin Yang said, "You are more silent today than before. Are you still not feeling well?" Qin Yang asked him in a casual tone.

Ning Helan did not respond immediately. He glanced at Qin Yang and said, "Brother Yang, what do you think would happen if we were trapped in an illusion?"

"What?" Qin Yang looked at Ning Helan strangely when he heard his guess. "What illusion?"

Ning Helan looked into Qin Yang's eyes, as if trying to catch something from his eyes. Ning Helan paused for every word: "I suspect we are under an illusion. We are now in an illusion created by the caster."

Qin Yang was obviously startled. He stared at Ning Helan in a daze until the cigarette in his hand burned his fingers. He then came to his senses. He held the cigarette in his mouth and then pinched his face: "Hiss... It hurts."

Then he pinched Ning Helan's face again: "Xiao Lan, it hurts, not a dream."

Ning Helan slapped his hand away: "I didn't say dream, I said illusion."

"Illusion...illusion..." Qin Yang thought for a moment, "Are you saying that we are under an illusion and are now in an illusion?"

Ning Helan nodded.

"Does it mean that everything I saw is fake?"

Ning Helan nodded again.

Qin Yang raised his hand and placed it on his forehead in confusion: "..."

Ning Helan watched Qin Yang walk back and forth, then put out the cigarette and looked at Ning Helan seriously: "How do you know this is an illusion?"

"I feel that everything around me is wrong... For example, Ji Ge..." Ning Helan's eyes swept over Ji Ge who was sleeping beside him, "Or..."

Qin Yang first looked at Ji Ge, and then followed his gaze to look at Fang Hui who was sleeping awkwardly in the living room: "You said Xiao Hui..."

"He is not the original Fang Hui." When Ning Helan said it for the first time, Qin Yang thought he had heard it wrong. After Ning Helan repeated it again, Qin Yang looked at Fang Hui carefully again.

If Fang Hui had previously given him the impression of a bad-tempered rich young master, now he was more like a heartless foodie.

"So that's why I thought Fang Hui was acting weird today." Qin Yang slapped his forehead and said, "I was wondering why he said such harsh words. I thought he was being taken away.

"Xiao Lan, since we are now in an illusion, where is the real Fang Hui?"
