It was already four o'clock in the morning when Wen Qing lay down on the bed.
He was feeling very sleepy and wanted to sleep, but closing his eyes only relieved the soreness in his eyes and he couldn't fall asleep at all.
The faces of Io, Xingze, Bai Tong and other non-human people kept flashing in his mind, and the words they said seemed to echo in his ears.
My mind was becoming more and more confused, and I felt sleepy but couldn't fall asleep.
After tossing and turning for a while, Wen Qing sat up, picked up his phone, and opened WeChat.
He opened Io's chat box, hesitated for a moment, and typed a line of words.
【Are you asleep? 】
After sending it out, Wen Qing regretted it.
Yiou is not a human being at all and does not need sleep. He asked this question as if he was actively looking for Yiou to chat.
You should talk to Io directly about serious matters.
Wen Qing's finger had just pressed on the message, trying to withdraw it, when Yio's message popped up.
Io: [No.]
Since the other party had seen it, Wen Qing had no choice but to give up the idea of withdrawing.
Yiou: [I won’t sleep for the next two days.]
Wen Qing: [Oh, I almost forgot that you are not human and don’t need sleep. ]
Yiou: [I am now in a human body and need sleep. ]
Wen Qing: [? ]
Wen Qing lowered his eyes and thought, why aren't you sleeping at four o'clock?
My mind raced and I typed out this line of words.
Wen Qing immediately deleted this line and re-edited it.
Yiou: [Staying up all night without sleeping is a required course for being a human. ]
Wen Qing: [……]
Yiou: [You didn't sleep either, didn't you? ]
Wen Qing: [I have something to do.]
Yiou: [I have something to do, too.]
Wen Qing: [What do you want? ]
Yiou: [Isn't this just chatting with you? 】
Wen Qing: [……]
Wen Qing: [Xia Yansi and Ji Sheng were taken away by the police.]
Io: [Yeah.]
Wen Qing stared at the word "hmm" for a long time without waiting for Yiou's next words.
Wen Qing: [? ]
Wen Qing: [You don’t want to say anything? ]
Io: [Okay!]
Yiou: [Good catch!]
Yiou: [They should be sent to the police station for education.]
Wen Qing: [……]
Wen Qing: [Is it okay if they were captured? ]
Io: [It’s okay.]
Yiou: [When the day breaks, it is a new day. ]
Wen Qing's eyelashes trembled. She put her phone aside and continued to try to sleep.
Still couldn't fall asleep.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated.
He tapped the screen and saw a message from Io.
A photo, a photo of Ji Yucheng.
In addition to the code, there are two lines of text in the photo.
[Passing by A9385, he saw a child crying out for food while his mother cooked snacks while cursing. He thought it was very interesting.]
【He tried cooking, and from then on he had a new hobby. 】
Wen Qing paused. When he was in the Guide dungeon, Ji Yu often cooked.
Xia Yansi is a part of Ji Yu, and he also likes to cook.
Not only them, but also Oz...
In some ways, they are all very similar.
so……
Wen Qing: [Will there be other people appearing? ]
Io: [Yeah.]
When Wen Qing saw this word, his eyelids twitched.
What do you want to do?
Yiou: [I want to be with you. ]
Wen Qing: [???]
???
Wen Qing didn't understand, what kind of perverted logic was this?
Is there any connection between being together and the presence of other people?
As if knowing what he was thinking, before Wen Qing could type his question, Yio sent a message with the explanation.
Yiou: [I am not complete now.]
Wen Qing held the phone tightly in his hand and understood the implication of Yiou's words.
He is not a complete individual.
It seems that he will not be complete until others appear one by one.
Wen Qing: “…”
Wen Qing: [Who else will come? ]
Yiou: [The one who loves you.]
Wen Qingmei's heart skipped a beat, and a long list of names flashed through her mind.
Wen Qing: [Is it too late for me to reject you now? ]
Io: [QAQ. 】
Wen Qing: [……]
He threw his phone aside and didn't want to pay any more attention to Io.
Wen Qing crawled into the quilt and wrapped himself tightly, leaving no gaps.
Not long after, Wen Qing fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps because of the conversation with Yiou before going to bed, Wen Qing dreamed of his childhood for the first time in a long time.
After school, there are vendors selling snacks and candies at the school gate and on the street.
Loud hawking sounds and fragrant aromas made Wen Qing, who was not hungry at first, become hungry.
He has no pocket money, and a dollar is a huge price to him.
Wen Qing could only touch his stomach and stare at the stall in front of him, trying to satisfy his hunger by smelling the aroma.
The result, of course, was that the more I smelled it, the hungrier I got, and my stomach was growling with hunger.
The sound of my stomach growling was so loud that even the adults around me looked over.
“Buy it when you’re hungry.”
A man's voice sounded above Wen Qing's head, lazy and sounding a little sloppy.
Wen Qing said obediently: "I don't have money, so I can't buy it."
The man sneered: "How pitiful."
"Here, eat it."
Wen Qing tilted his head and looked over, only to see the man holding a bunch of grass in his hand.
The grass looked no different from the weeds on the roadside, with some dirt at the bottom, as if it had just been pulled out of the ground.
Wen Qing was a little confused: "Uncle, can this be eaten?"
The man said perfunctorily: "You are a human being, and this is a plant."
“It is natural for humans to eat plants.”
Wen Qing was so hungry that he only heard the word "eat".
"Thank you, uncle."
After thanking him, he took a blade of grass from the bunch and put it in his mouth.
As I chewed, my mouth was filled with a grassy smell that was disgusting.
Wen Qing frowned, swallowed the grass with difficulty, and said to the man: "Uncle, this seems to be just ordinary grass."
"It cuts your mouth and tastes bad."
The man sneered, bent down, and pinched his face viciously: "You little fool, you actually ate it."
With his face pinched, Wen Qing's words were a little slurred: "Uncle, don't eat anymore."
"Uncle, you are an adult and you don't have any money?"
Man: “…I don’t need money.”
"That means there is no money," Wen Qing sighed and patted his hands gently, "If you are hungry, come to the welfare home to find me."
"I can give you half of my dinner."
"Uncle, don't eat grass. You'll get sick."
…………
When Wen Qing woke up, there seemed to be a taste of grass in his mouth.
He immediately got up from the bed and brushed his teeth while recalling the man's face in his dream.
It's all blurry, like a mosaic, and I can't see clearly.
He remembered that later the man seemed to have really followed him to the orphanage.
But he didn't get in because he was treated as a bad guy by the director's mother and others.
Wen Qing lowered his head to rinse his mouth and looked at the time.
Twelve o'clock noon.
He picked up his phone and scrolled through the daily news, but there was no news about the South City community.
Wen Qing blinked, and her phone vibrated wildly, with messages from the dormitory group popping up continuously.
Song Qiang: [@Wen Qing, are you going back to the dormitory later? ]
Song Qiang: [I’m so hungry. I didn’t have any breakfast and I didn’t have any lunch either.]
Song Qiang: [I feel like I’m going to die.]
Xu Fengfeng: [@温轻, 10086. ]
Xu Fengfeng: [We have been hungry for a whole day.]
Wen Qing glanced at the message and knew that they wanted him to bring food along.
After hesitating for a moment, he agreed.
He still had to talk to Io in person.
Wen Qing: [What do you two want to eat? ]
Song Qiang: [I’m not picky. Just bring whatever is in the cafeteria.]
Xu Fengfeng: [I want to eat. I’m so hungry. Any food is fine.]
Wen Qing: [Okay.]
Wen Qing: [I will arrive at the dormitory around one o'clock.]
Song Qiang: [A grateful heart, thank you for being there. ]
Song Qiang: [Thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm. ]
After sending the message, Song Qiang lowered his head and took a big bite of a chicken leg.
He turned around and said vaguely to Yiou: "See, once Brother Song makes a move, you will know whether it is effective or not."
"Wait for Wen Qing to come back later, you two can have a good chat."
Song Qiang finished the chicken leg in two or three bites, wiped his hands and continued: "Wen Qing is a soft-hearted person, if you apologize sincerely and say a few nice words, he will definitely forgive you immediately."
Io leaned back in his chair, lowered his eyes to look at the program on the computer screen, and a line of words popped up.
[He saw a line of words, "Students are the future of the motherland," and sneered at it.]
【He believed that human nature is evil at birth.】
Yiou clicked the mouse and glanced at Yu Xing's program again, breaking up couples in various small worlds.
Song Qiang asked loudly: "How are you going to tell Wen Qing later?"
"Do you need us to leave the dormitory?"
Io tapped the tabletop with his fingertips and sighed, "It will take a few more days."
Song Qiang was at a loss: "What do you mean it will take a few more days?"
Yiou said casually: "Wen Qing forgives me for what I did."
Song Qiang was even more confused: "Isn't he coming back soon? You should explain it clearly now."
Io tapped on the keyboard and said calmly, "He won't be back today."
Song Qiang: “???”
He couldn't help but look down at the dormitory group, but there was no new message.
"How do you know? Did he private message you?"
Yiou said calmly, "I figured it out."
Song Qiang was stunned: "You are a programmer and you can tell fortunes?"
Io nodded.
Song Qiang was silent for a moment, "You are not scientific at all."
"Didn't you study hard?"
"Is that why you have so much hair?"
Yio: “…”
The other side
Wen Qing has already reached the gate of the community.
Passing by a security booth, he saw a familiar security guard sitting inside. He stopped and greeted him.
The security guard looked at him and said with a smile, "Good afternoon. You are the owner of Unit 02 in Building A, right?"
Wen Qing didn't expect that the security guard still remembered where he lived.
He nodded and asked tentatively: "Hello, did anything happen in the community yesterday?"
"Yes," the security guard nodded and said to him, "Two pythons came from nowhere yesterday afternoon. The captain caught a small one, and the other big one was caught by the police at night."
"It seems to be in Building A. Did I disturb you?"
Wen Qing was stunned. Xia Yansi and Ji Sheng turned into pythons...
He nodded, then shook his head: "I heard a little noise."
The security guard scratched his head and said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, our community will strictly guard this kind of animal in the future."
Wen Qing responded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Security guard: "Of course we should."
Wen Qing was about to leave the community when a WeChat call popped up on his phone.
It’s Xuanxuan’s mother, the mother of the student who was her previous tutor.
So many things happened in the past two days that he had forgotten all about tutoring.
Wen Qing picked up the phone, and the other party asked straight to the point: "Xiao Wen, today is Sunday, you should be free, right?"
Wen Qing responded and asked, "Does Xuanxuan need extra lessons?"
Xuanxuan's mother smiled and said, "No, it's his two cousins who are in their third year of high school. Their grades are very poor and they can't finish their weekend homework."
"I want to find a temporary teacher to help with homework this afternoon and evening."
Wen Qing opened her mouth and was about to refuse, but Xuanxuan's mother said, "Because it's a temporary job and we can't find anyone right away, I've recommended you. The hourly wage is very high, so you don't have to worry about that."
"The address is in Nancheng Community, Building A, Floor 20, Building 02. It's quite close to your school."
Wen Qing was not given any chance to refuse.
Wen Qing: "Auntie, that..."
There was a cough on the other end of the phone, and Xuanxuan's mother said hurriedly, "That's it, I'll hang up first, call me if you have anything else."
Wen Qing had no choice but to turn around and walk back, and sent a message in the dormitory group, telling them that he had a part-time job today and would not be returning to the dormitory.
Building A, Floor 01, 20
Wen Qing pressed the doorbell.
The next second, the door opened, as if someone was waiting for him at the door.
A familiar face appeared in front of me.
Wen Qing was stunned.
Fu Ranxiu raised his eyelids, without any surprise on his face, and said calmly: "Song Xuan, the teacher is here."
