What real horror experience
do you have?
A while ago, I worked overtime and slept in the company at night. One day, the female colleague I had a crush on suddenly said she wanted to stay up all night with me.
By 2 am, I was ready to go to bed and took a look at her at her work station.
She was wearing a facial mask, her long hair was loose on the back of her chair, and she was covered with a Minion air-conditioning blanket.
The computer screen flashed white fluorescence, and there was still her unfinished PPT on it.
I thought it was funny, so I took a short video and sent it to her, then turned off the light and went to bed. Lying on the folding bed
wrapped in a blanket, I kept thinking about the scene in my mind.
I was busy shooting videos, and now that I think of it, I vaguely feel that something is wrong. As though It’s a little too quiet. I didn’t seem to hear her breathing in her sleep just now?
！ Since someone asks, I will tell the story in detail from the beginning. It all started in
my fifth month of employment, when my colleague and mentor left.
He worked for six years, and his colleagues called him Lao Wang. When the company was about to go public, he left.
Later, I learned that Lao Wang’s wife had an affair.
His wife’s family was rich and powerful, so she left the house directly, left a small house in the third ring of Beijing for him, and took his son away.
Of course, these have nothing to do with me, but Lao Wang is the backbone of the business in the department, and he supports most of the projects in our group.
He left suddenly, and the company had no time to recruit people, so General Manager Yin gave the order and left most of his work to me.
From then on, I began to work overtime every night and became an “invisible person” living in the company. When I was tired, I would make a folding bed in the conference room. When I was hungry, I would go to the canteen on the second floor. If I wanted to exercise, I would go to the gym on the seventh floor to ride a bicycle, and then take a shower directly in the shower room of the gym changing room. Go home to wash clothes
every weekend, and take a big bag of clean clothes to the company on Monday. When the
strange thing happened, I had been working overtime for two months.
I remember that it was Thursday. I went to the gym to ride a bicycle at 9 P. M. according to the usual practice. When I returned to my workstation after taking a shower at 10 P. m., I found that my colleague Wei Jiao was still working overtime.
Wei Jiao, I and Lao Wang are all in the same group, and the leader is General Manager Yin. Several of the projects left by
Lao Wang were related to star artists. Yin always felt that it was not safe to give me this new melon egg, so the task fell on Wei Jiao’s head.
She often works overtime recently, but she usually leaves around 8 o’clock and never stays so late. Haven’t left
yet?
I went over to greet her.
Wei Jiao raised his head from behind the monitor and looked at me. His expression was somewhat stunned and incredulous. It took him a long time to smile at me. “I’m writing PPT. The boss will read it at the monthly meeting tomorrow.”.
Wei Jiao looks foreign and generous, but she is usually cold and does not like to talk, but today she seems to be in a good mood, two shallow pear vortexes facing me, a little more gentle. Can
I see it?
I asked on a whim. I
don’t know why, but I am very bold today.
Wei Jiao turned the display screen towards me, and I looked at it twice. She has drawn up a template for her
PPT. She has just written the table of contents and subtitles. It seems that she has just begun.
It’s so late. When do you have to write?
I can’t help but complain.
Wei Jiao sighed softly, “I can’t help it. I’m also a temporary need. I may have to stay in the company all night today.”. Is this
your first all-nighter?
I asked.
Wei Jiao nodded his head.
I ran back to my workstation, took out a pile of “overtime artifacts” from the drawer, and poured them all on Wei Jiao’s desk: mouthwash, compressed towels, facial cleansers, facial masks, effervescent tablets, and all kinds of instant noodles and snacks.
“Come on, my brother will take care of you. You can pick anything you want, and you’ll definitely need it!”. I can not help but feel a little proud-in terms of seniority and ability, you are senior, in terms of overtime and overnight, I am the strongest king! Wei Jiao was stunned for a moment, and finally borrowed my mouthwash and facial cleanser, went to the bathroom to remove makeup and wash, and took away a mask.
I reminded her, “This mask is a gift from a brand. It’s not a big brand. Don’t dislike it.”. Although
I have never been in love, I also know that facial masks can’t be used casually, and if the skin is not suitable for use, it will cause rashes.
Wei Jiao looked back and smiled at me again. Her long, slightly curly hair began to curl, and the ends of her hair looked like butterflies. “Thank you, Xiao Zhang. I wish I had met you earlier.”.
I swear! I didn’t think much of that when I heard it! This is just a kind of praise from the older generation to the younger generation. Maybe what she means is that it will be smoother if she meets the job earlier! Yes! That’s it.. Huh?
？
Wei Jiao finished washing, returned things to me, and went back to write PPT.
I also started to deal with tonight’s work.
It was 2 a.m. before I knew it. After finishing my work, I stood up and stretched, ready to go to the conference room to sleep.
Wei Jiao is also here tonight. I wonder if she has slept?
If she wants to rest, I can give her the folding bed and go to the sofa in the lobby for a night.
I am a big man. Although she is three years older than me, she is a little sister, but she still has to be a basic gentleman.
I walked over gently, and Wei Jiao had fallen asleep.
She was wearing a facial mask, her long hair was loose on the back of her chair, and she was covered with a Minion air-conditioning blanket.
The computer screen flashed white fluorescence, and there was still her unfinished PPT on it.
I have a rough look, the project description has been written, but the implementation plan and revenue estimates have not been done, the completion progress is about 40%, the remaining part needs to do data analysis, the workload is not small.
The monthly meeting is at 11 o’clock in the morning. Will it be too late for me to wake her up after I get up at 7 o’clock to continue writing?
Although I was worried about her progress, I thought it was a little funny at the same time-she could fall asleep with a mask on, which was seriously inconsistent with her usual cold beauty! I turned off the light on the screen and was about to leave when out of the corner of my eye I saw that she was wearing Doc Martens and her calves were swollen.
I don’t know why I suddenly feel a little pity for her.
Wei Jiao’s home is in the field, although she usually has a strong personality and does not say anything, but I know that she is alone in Beijing, working on the Internet, and it is not easy.
I thought about it, went back to the workstation and took a pair of hotel slippers that I had prepared for myself, and changed them for her quietly.
Wearing shoes to sleep will lead to poor blood flow in the legs. Wearing slippers will be better and will not swell so much.
Having done all this, I suddenly had a lot of fun and took a small video of her sleeping with my mobile phone: Wei Jiao in the picture was peaceful and quiet, with a kind of inexplicable soft atmosphere all over her body. After
shooting, I sent it to her directly WeChat, and when she woke up in the morning and saw her sleeping face, would she twist two delicate eyebrows to blame me?
Think about what’s going on with a little expectation?
？
My God! I won’t have any strange M attributes! I shrank my neck, walked gently to the conference room, set up the folding bed, and turned off the lights in the office area.
Wrapped in a blanket and lying on a folding bed, I was ready to go to bed after checking Weibo for a while, but I was still thinking about the scene just now.
I was busy shooting videos, and now that I think of it, I vaguely feel that something is wrong. As though It’s a little too quiet. I didn’t seem to hear Wei Jiao’s breathing just now?
！ I tried to recall it several times, but I wasn’t sure if I heard it or not.
Maybe it’s because I practiced more equipment today, and my body is a little tired, but I think the sleepiness is coming up.
Forget it, go to sleep first, maybe because she was wearing a mask and her breathing was shallow, I didn’t hear it. I had a restless sleep. When I woke up at 8:15, all the lights in the office area had been turned on. The
company’s working hours are nine to six, and colleagues will be on duty one after another around 8:30.
I quickly got up and washed, while tidying up and recalling last night’s dream.
It’s so strange. It’s the first time I’ve had such a strange dream.
I dreamed that I was working overtime. Old Wang, who had left his job, suddenly came to the company to drink with me. We went to a barbecue restaurant. Lao Wang has been complaining during the
dinner, I can only comfort him, drink to the end, I am also a little drunk.
Old Wang suddenly grabbed my hand, his hand was so strong and so hard that his nails were about to pinch into my flesh! With a cry of surprise, I tried to break free, but I couldn’t, so I had to shout, “Old Wang, what are you doing?” After hearing this, Old Wang raised his head. His eyes were all white, and he stared at me sadly. “There’s no time..” I stood up and wanted to go, but Lao Wang’s buttocks seemed to have taken root on the ground, like a rock, and I couldn’t pull it.
I didn’t think Old Wang was going to hurt me. It was more like he had something important to say to me. He simply deflated and sat down on the ground: “What? There’s no time. Old Wang, please make it clear.”.
Old Wang looked down at me again. The whites of his eyes were the same, but this time he showed a seeping smile with eight teeth. Zhang Xiaozhang, you must express your love to Wei Jiao before Halloween.
Want me to express my love to Wei Jiao?
？
！！ This is so ***ing weird! I looked at my phone, and today is October 31st, which happens to be Halloween.
Not to mention why Lao Wang knows that I like Wei Jiao, just at this time, it’s too Nima ghost animal! Who confesses their love on Halloween?
Pretend to be scary and eat it if you don’t agree?
！ Why did Lao Wang remind me in his dream yesterday?
Why should we emphasize this time?
…… Could it be that I subconsciously want to express my love quickly.
David Lynch’s version of a wet dream?
？
My God.. Am I so horny?
？
！！ I want to cry without tears, what did not figure out, the stomach began to protest, decided to go to the canteen to eat breakfast, eat enough to think. After
eating, I remembered that Wei Jiao was still there, so I packed her a eight-treasure porridge.
After all, to have a meeting with the boss, you can’t bring steamed buns, pancakes and other tasty food, or porridge is the safest.
When I returned to my workstation, Wei Jiao woke up early. She seemed to have tidied up, put on a simple but elegant and fresh makeup, and was tidying up her hair. I brought
you a bowl of eight-treasure porridge without sugar, so you can drink it while it’s hot.
I put the porridge on her table and looked down at her feet.
She had switched back to Martin boots, and her calves were slightly swollen, but fortunately not too swollen.
Wei Jiao smiled at me, said “thank you,” and began to eat porridge. Did you watch the
video?
Remembering the video I shot last night, I couldn’t help teasing her. Didn’t you say you were going to stay up all night? Why did you fall asleep?
“I’ve been writing PPT, and I haven’t slept..” Wei Jiao looked at me in surprise.
How is that possible?
I saw you sleeping with a facial mask, and I changed your slippers. How could I remember it wrong? See for yourself
if you don’t believe me.
Wei Jiao turned the display screen, and her PPT on the page was full of 20 pages of content, and the data was clear, which could not be written in six or seven hours.
It seems that what she said is true. She did work all last night. But sleeping Wei Jiao is also what I saw with my own eyes, I also touched her, is it all a hallucination?
！ I think of the mask and the slippers. Can
I see your trash can?
I asked cautiously.
The company distributes a garbage can to each workstation, which is placed under the desk.
If Wei Jiao had fallen asleep, there would have been a used facial mask and a pair of hotel slippers in the garbage can; otherwise, it would have proved that she had been working last night.
Hearing my request, Wei Jiao’s smiling face suddenly cooled: “Zhang Xiaozhang, please respect yourself.”.
“I hastened to explain,” I don’t mean anything else, I.. I don’t know what’s going on. I swear I saw you sleeping. You let me look in your garbage can to see if you have those two things. I’ll just take a look! This is my station. It’s not good for you to stand here. You can go.
Wei Jiao’s voice also cooled down.
I looked around, and there were colleagues coming to the workstation one after another.
Although the company is moving to work when the lease expires recently, there are not many colleagues staying here, but they basically belong to the same department as us. The way
we look now is really easy to be misunderstood. I
‘m sorry, I’m interrupting. After apologizing,
I quickly left, unable to wait a second.
I ran to an empty conference room, closed the door and turned on my mobile phone to play the video taken last night.
But the video picture turned into darkness! Similar to the kind of underexposed shot at night, you can only see that the lens has been swept from top to bottom, and nothing else can be seen. I reconfirmed the time of the shoot, and yes, it was the one I took at 2 A. m.
I opened the WeChat, from the chat record point to the development of Wei Hao’s small video, the screen also turned black! What the hell is going on here? Why is it dark when the video
is taken in bright conditions in the office area?
！ A strange thought suddenly came to my mind-could it be that Wei Jiao, who applied the mask, did not want to leave traces of her existence?
Something’s wrong. Something’s really wrong about this! First, in the same period of time, there were two completely different behaviors of Wei Jiao. And Lao Wang’s dream seemed to remind me that something unusual would happen today. Is
today a special day?
I stayed in the conference room until 9 o’clock, then went back to my workstation and pretended to come to work at a normal time every day. General
Manager Yin didn’t know I was sleeping in the company, and I deliberately didn’t tell him.
My application for becoming a full member is still being examined and approved. If he knows it, he will only think that I am inefficient and incompetent, and then I will be in danger.
Very not easy to wait until 11 o’clock, old Yin and Wei Jiao have gone to the meeting, I took the opportunity to quietly slip to Wei Jiao workstation to check the garbage can, did not find the mask and slippers.
But this did not dispel my doubts, but made me more suspicious.
I always feel that Wei Jiao is hiding something from me, but I don’t understand exactly what it is. After
much hesitation, I told Wang Qing about it.
Wang Qing, a former colleague of my last company, usually likes to read some supernatural and science fiction.
In the past, at lunch, she always liked to tell us stories, such as “lighting the lamp to celebrate longevity,” “the rooster worshipping the temple,” “the jump of time and space,” and “parallel universes.”. Looking at her circle of friends
recently, it seems that after she broke up with her ex-boyfriend, she learned something about the “five elements.” She was so talkative that she seemed to be a bit of a Taoist.
It could be parallel time and space. After listening to my description,
Wang Qing gave a reply.
Really?
I asked.
If it is parallel time and space, then where is the “I” of this time and space? How’s
he doing?
But I don’t feel like it.
“” Look at your big asthma, what do you say?
I was dizzy by Wang Qing. It
was a long time before I heard back from her.
If you travel through parallel time and space, Wei Jiao in this time and space will not remember what happened yesterday, but listening to your description, Wei Jiao’s memory is continuous, and she knows the cause and effect, which shows that time and space have not changed.
If there were two different Wei Jiao last night, then the problem may not lie in time and space, but in Wei Jiao.
But what’s wrong with Wei Jiao? Can
she make herself out of thin air?
I still have some doubts: Are you sure?
I’m not sure.
I have a Taoist friend who specializes in supernatural events. I’ll let him go to your company in the evening.
I sent Wang Qing the address of the company, and she told me to wait.
Finally she told me, “Stay away from that Wei Jiao.”.
Tonight is Halloween, which is also the Ghost Festival in the West.
The administration joined in the fun and gave everyone a pumpkin lantern, and the canteen also sent a pumpkin pudding. I am
alone in Beijing. I don’t like festivals, and I don’t have any feelings about foreign festivals.
Wang Qing has been busy today and hasn’t contacted me again.
I didn’t know when the Taoist priest would come, so after a simple tidying up, I went to the gym to ride the spinning bike at 9 pm as usual.
Unexpectedly, I met Wei Jiao in the gym.
She wore a high ponytail, professional sports underwear and sports shorts, and was stepping on the treadmill. From my point of view, I could see her thin stomach and tight thighs.
Not knowing what was wrong in my mind, I devilishly passed the bicycle area, went to Wei Jiao, and got on the stepper next to her.
Hi.. Is there anyone here?
I heard embarrassment in my voice.
Wei Jiao turned her head and looked at me. Beads of sweat dripped from her forehead and directly onto her clear collarbone. “No one, you can use it.”.
I don’t think you usually work out. It’s your first time here?
I asked, stepping on the stepper. I’ve been under a lot of pressure at work
recently, so I have to exercise so that my body won’t be able to carry it.
Wei Jiao quickened the speed of the stepper, and soon she was panting slightly. She waved her forearm, and the sweat on her back slipped down her waist line. Slipping into some unknown territory that I can’t even describe.
I suddenly felt a little thirsty, swallowing saliva at the same time secretly glanced at her, fortunately she has been concentrating on the step did not look at me.
Next to a group of do strength training’s big man son also from time to time looked to this side, if was discovered that I was peeking at her, I had to die on the spot.
I think of last night’s dream, is today a good time to express?
？
I can’t! Zhang Xiaozhang, you have to calm down! Women will only affect the speed of your keyboard! I got off the stepper, breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the water dispenser to fill two glasses of water, trying to calm my mood by drinking water.
I just wanted to ask Wei Jiao whether to drink or not, but when I turned around, I found that she was gone! Strange, I didn’t hear her get off the stepper just now. I went around the gym and searched all over the equipment area and the exercise room, but I still couldn’t find her.
And not only Wei Jiao, but also the other people in the gym have disappeared! In a few seconds, the gym, which had just been noisy, suddenly quieted down, as if I had been the only one here from beginning to end.
What’s wrong?
？ Is the incident in the
early morning repeated again?
！ I got more and more scared, and in my panic, I remembered that the gym equipment had a timing function, and the previous user’s exercise data would remain in the cache until the next user turned on the equipment again.
I checked my stepper, and the latest exercise data was 21:10 on October 31, and there was no problem.
According to my memory, I pressed the treadmill that someone had just used in turn, and found that the exercise data on the screen was still on October 28! This means that no one has used these treadmills today! An idea that I never dared to think of appeared in my mind-could it be said that the colleagues who just ran were all.. A ghost?
！ I stood in the middle of the huge gym with an uncontrollable cold sweat on my back.
I looked around and felt as if there were countless pairs of eyes staring at me, hiding their figures all the time, but deliberately revealing some clues for me to find.
What are you doing?
You think it’s funny to play me?
！ As an ordinary person, I want to work hard and live a good life. Not only will I be scolded by the leaders for working overtime every day, but I will also be laughed at by my bad friends for being single. I have lived half my life in vain without even kissing a girl’s mouth.
Forget it, and now I don’t even know where the ghost is playing with me! With what?
？
！！ I couldn’t help getting a little angry. I opened my mouth and began to scold, “Grass mud horse!”! Don’t pretend to be a ghost. Get out of here! Do you want to play with me? Come out
if you can, and I’ll play with you enough! “Taishang Laojun is as urgent as a law, and the big devil and the small devil are quick to act!” “Expecto Patronum, call God to protect!” …… Chang Hsiao-chang. A familiar voice came from
behind.
I turned around and saw Wei Jiao standing at the door of the gym wiping his hair with a towel.
She should have taken a bath and changed into a ginger cotton and linen dress, with her long golden brown hair wet on her white shoulders and neck.
When she came to me, I could clearly smell the cherry blossom fragrance of her shampoo, and for a moment, it seemed that all the hostility in my heart had dissipated.
I just heard someone cursing and someone chanting?
Wei Jiao looked at me inquiringly.
‘Oh.. A colleague went crazy, and then he left.
I didn’t dare to look directly at Wei Jiao, and I stammered, “I’m going to take a shower.”.
I ran out, grabbed my toiletries and rushed into the shower.
She’s not gone! She heard me! I’m dead! I’m screwed! My fragile office romance died before it could start! The company gym is equipped with two changing rooms for men and women, with a single shower compartment. It was not
until I took a shower that I slowly calmed down. Too many things happened in
these two days, strange parallel events, strange and scary dreams, colleagues who suddenly disappeared, and Wei Jiao’s abnormal attitude. What the hell is going on? I had something on my
mind and didn’t pay much attention to it. After taking a bath, I only put a bath towel around my lower body and wiped my body in the changing room, ready to change into clean clothes.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a very rich bell in the corridor.
This bell is very strange, it sounds like a kind of primitive rhythm in it, constantly echoing in the corridor. As I listened, I
was a little distracted. I accidentally lost my legs. I sat down on the chair in the changing room and hit the back of my head on the wall.
I raised my head in pain and saw Wei Jiao rush in with a serious face.
She looked at me quickly, locked the door of the changing room, stood in front of me, and put her hand over my ear.
I looked up at her near face, and the look of concern on her face, and was stunned for a moment.
What is the situation?
I asked her with my mouth.
She only shook her head slightly and motioned me not to speak. The bell in the
corridor continued, not knowing when it would end, and the sound became clearer and clearer. At the same time, there were footsteps, as if someone was ringing the bell and coming to the gym.
Wei Jiao frowned slightly, and the hand that covered my ear trembled slightly.
Then she did something I didn’t expect-she spread her legs and straddled my lap! My God! Isn’t this the legendary straight man’s killing by sitting on his legs?
？
Mother was born single for 25 years, and the first time she experienced the killing of sitting legs was with her secret love object?
？
？
Wei Jiao’s face was a few minutes away from me, because she had just taken a bath, and the changing room was full of hot and humid water vapor. Her breath was on my face, and her breath was full of the fragrance of cherry blossoms in her hair. My face was burning uncontrollably.
I looked at Wei Jiao’s eyebrows and eyes close at hand, my mind was blank, and subconsciously made the reaction that a man should have at the moment.
I also reached out and covered her ears.
Wei Jiao was stupefied, and I looked at each other, his face was slightly red.
Our posture is so ambiguous now that if someone takes a picture and posts it on the Internet, it may become a strange XPbot Weibo joke.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Wei Jiao gave me a reproachful look and mouthed, “What are you laughing at?”?
“” Nothing.
I mouthed back to her, but there was a smile on my lips that I couldn’t hide. The sound of the
bells faded away and seemed to be interspersed with a few words of abuse.
“I’ve come to catch ghosts, let alone ghosts, and I can’t even see anyone.”.
“” Where are the people? Where’s the
ghost? Where did
it all go?
Listen to the voice. It’s a young man.
Ten minutes later, when the bell and footsteps were far away and could not be heard, Wei Jiao let go of me and sat up from me.
We smiled at each other awkwardly, and I pointed to the clothes next to me and said, “I’ll continue to change.”.
“” Mmm.
Wei Jiao nodded and walked out of the changing room. What
just happened?
！ Wei Jiao, she actually sat on my lap?
！ She. She doesn’t have a crush on me. Huh?
What should I do?
Just smile, okay?
Zhang Xiaozhang, your spring is coming! Although I had a vague understanding of what was going on, my brain was still in a state of semi-confusion.
I changed my clothes and followed Wei Jiao to the rooftop in a muddle.
The building was built in the millennium and has 10 floors.
We usually work on the 9th floor, and the 10th floor is directly connected to the roof, so the door of the stairwell is locked.
Today, I don’t know why, the door was unlocked. We pushed the door open and went directly to the roof. It was the first time for
me to go up to such a high roof. Curious, I leaned over the railing and looked down.
00, the streets of Zhongguancun are still brightly lit, cars come and go in the orange halo, and Internet people carrying shoulder bags pile up at the intersection waiting for online car appointment.
There are no young lovers hugging at the intersection, no young people reveling in the dark.
This is a place where romance is missing.
Wei Jiao found a clean place to sit down and took out a can of Fujiabai from the bag and handed it to me.
Look, there are no stars today.
She said.
Never mind, there is a full moon today.
I took a sip of the beer and sat down beside her. At the end of
October, Beijing was already very cold. Wei Jiao and I were wearing two single clothes, but we didn’t feel cold at all.
Because of the distant lights, the sky is not pure black, just a thick blue ink, there is no aesthetic feeling.
We just looked at the night sky, drank in the wind, said nothing, and everything seemed to be in silence.
「Cityofstars,areyoushiningjustforme?」「Cityofstars,there’ssomuchthatIcan’tsee.」「Whoknows, isthisthestartofsomethingwonderfulandnew,oronemoredreamthatIcannotmaketrue?」…… As soon as I finished drinking the beer, I took Wei Jiao’s hand, which was very cold, as if it would disappear at any time.
All of a sudden, I felt like crying, and the next second I cried out.
Wei Jiao obviously panicked and asked me what was wrong.
Wei Jiao, are you, are you already dead?
I said with a sob, tears dripping down her hand. Are
you leaving?
Whoo, whoo, whoo.. “Don’t leave me. I still have something important to say to you!” Wei Jiao’s expression froze for two seconds, and the next second she burst out laughing, hugged me in her arms, and kissed me on the forehead: “Silly straight man.”.
Silly straight man?
Are you talking about me?
？
“Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, even if you leave, you will scold me for being stupid before you leave.” You, you bully others! I don’t know whether I was drunk or tired, but I felt that my brain was beginning to be a little unclear and my speech was incoherent.
You only know how to bully me. Every time I used to talk to you, you always ignored me! Why are you sitting on my lap today? Do
you like me? If you
like me, you can say it out boldly, and you have to wait for me to speak first. You only know how to catch me, and I’m the only one who will be fooled by you! It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have doubted you. I shouldn’t have asked a Taoist priest to hurt you.
“Wei Jiao, don’t go..” I said drunk words in a muddle, unable to see Wei Jiao’s expression, only to hear her sigh faintly in my ear. Which one
of you is Chang Hsiao-chang? The voice of a
young man suddenly sounded not far away. I looked up from Wei Jiao’s arms to see where the voice was coming from. A man with dirty braids, dressed in a Japanese bathrobe and dressed as a ronin, leaned against the wall, holding a bell as big as a fist in his hand, and looked at us impatiently.
Who?
Wei Jiao stood up, his voice a little serious.
The ronin ignored her. He turned to me and asked, “Silly boy, are you Zhang Xiaozhang?”?
I remembered that Wang Ching had told me that a Taoist priest would come to me. A string in
my brain suddenly tightened, and I suddenly woke up. I quickly stood in front of Wei Jiao and said, “Taoist, did Wang Qing ask you to come?”?
I made a mistake. I have nothing to do here. Please go back.
The ronin scratched his dirty braid with a look of embarrassment. “That’s right. Wang Ching asked me to see off a man named Chang Hsiao-chang. Aren’t you Chang Hsiao-chang?”?
Send me away?
I grasped the point at once and turned to look at Wei Jiao.
Wei Jiao did not speak with a calm face, and I understood a little in an instant.
So I’m the one who’s leaving?
“My voice trembled.” It’s me … Am I dead?
Combining the descriptions of Wei Jiao and the ronin, I pieced together the complete story.
I’m dead, and it’s not a natural death. Before I
died, I had regrets in my heart, so after I died, I took the company building as the prototype and created an identical building in the same place with imagination.
I wandered alone in the building, thinking that I was still working and resting normally, but in fact I had been moving in the imaginary space.
Today is my first seven days, and I will completely dissipate before midnight tomorrow. My imaginary space and real space have some overlap, so there are all these strange phenomena similar to parallel time and space. That’s why my subconscious will become Lao Wang in my dream and urge me to express my love today.
No wonder I always feel like an “invisible man” in the company. No wonder I see two of you.
Knowing that I was about to dissipate, I was unusually calm.
I always thought that Wei Jiao was dead and her soul was left in the company, so there were two Wei Jiao, but I didn’t think that the deceased was myself.
Because of the overlap between imagination and reality, Wang Qing received WeChat messages from you. She immediately realized that your soul was still in the world, so she asked me to send you on your way. Said
the ronin, shaking the bell in his hand.
The bell gradually turned into a primitive rhythm, and I felt my whole body was light, and my brain began to empty.
Wei Jiao suddenly grabbed my hand, but his eyes were fixed on the ronin. “There’s still an hour to go. Can you give us another hour?”?
The ronin looked at his watch and made a gesture of invitation.
Chang Hsiao-chang, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?
In this building, you can do whatever you want now, as long as you say it, I will promise you.
Wei Jiao looked at me with a seriousness and firmness in her eyes that I had never seen before.
I blushed under her gaze and said, “I have a small wish. I don’t know if you will agree. It will only take five minutes.”.
Tut, five minutes is too short. Brother, you can’t do it. Before
I could finish speaking, the ronin forced in a complaint.
Shut up, smelly Taoist.
Wei Jiao cast a look to kill the ronin.
I quickly waved my hand: “You misunderstood, I have no other meaning, I just want to give you a braid…” I like Wei Jiao’s hair. Her long golden brown hair gives off a soft light in the sun.
With Wei Jiao’s consent, I made her the simplest braid.
It was my first time to braid a girl’s hair. I was not skilled in it. It took me two times to finish it, but Wei Jiao was very satisfied. The red rope to
tie the hair is provided by the friendship of the ronin.
He gave me two red ropes, one of which I tied to the end of Wei Jiao’s hair, and the remaining one I tied to my wrist, which was a little selfish of mine. It
suddenly occurred to me that there was a very important question that I had forgotten to ask.
By the way, can you tell me how I died?
A week ago today, you worked overtime at the company and died in the shower in the changing room after working out. There were very few employees working in the building
because of the shift, so the cleaners didn’t clean shower every day, and you were found two days after you died.
Wei Jiao hesitated for a moment and said the cause of my death.
“Oh.”. I was not very surprised to
know that I had died suddenly.
On the contrary, the ronin sighed: “Work is short-lived, and lying at home is safe.” I looked at my watch, and there were still 40 minutes left.
Can you walk around the building with me?
I took Wei Jiao’s hand. It was here that
I joined the company. HR gave me a big gift package for joining the company. There was a very cute doll in it.
Later, I learned that the doll was for the new couple to give to their mentor as a gift, not for the new couple.
I pointed to the administrative window on the second floor.
For lunch, I like the teriyaki chicken steak rice set meal in the Japanese food section best. Sometimes the chef in the canteen will replace the rice balls in the set meal with Matcha Dafu, which tastes good.
For dinner, the Cantonese roast duck and barbecued pork double rice is the most delicious, and the sauce is very fragrant.
I led Wei Jiao from the canteen on the third floor to the canteen on the fourth floor, talking about my favorite meals one by one. Every Friday night at 7 o’clock, people from the Film Association come to the
cafe to show movies. I’ve seen several movies here that haven’t been shown in the mainland. They’re all art-house movies. You can often come to visit
in the future, and don’t always come and go alone.
I pulled Wei Jiao to sit on the sofa in the coffee shop and made her a cup of latte with the coffee machine behind the counter.
Legal affairs and finance are all on this floor. Every time there is a problem with a contract or invoice, I have to go here one after another. The legal lady is very nice and won’t say anything, but every time I go back, I have to be scolded by General Manager Yin.
But you’re so good that you won’t make such a stupid mistake as mine.
Finally I went back to my station and opened my drawer.
You may not know that my drawer is a treasure chest, which contains all kinds of overtime artifacts.
If someone hasn’t cleaned out my workstation in real space, you should be able to find these things, too.
Then I’ll give it all to you. I want to treat my “inheritance” well. Don’t give it to others casually, or I’ll be sad. “You say it’s not good for me to buy something, but I have to buy something to work overtime. As a result, I work overtime and die.” Xiao Zhang.
Wei Jiao turned to look at me with red eyes. Time’s up. Let’s go. Wei Jiao and
I returned to the rooftop.
Ronin sat up from the wall, yawned, walked over to me, and started ringing the bell. The
ancient rhythm came like an apocalypse, cleansing my soul.
My consciousness is getting more and more blank, and my body is getting lighter and lighter. The moment before
my soul dissipated, I hugged Wei Jiao with my last strength and whispered in her ear, “Wei Jiao, thank you, if only I could have met you earlier.”. The moonlight is so beautiful
tonight.
A Dream Huang Liang Wei Jiao is a capable cadre poached by President Yin from a competitive product company.
But in fact, Wei Jiao himself does not like work very much.
She felt that work was anti-human, that work could not realize personal value, but only provided labor in exchange for the necessary remuneration for life.
So she always works faster and faster, just to finish the work in the shortest time, and then go home to do what she should do.
But in the eyes of her colleagues, all this has become a different picture-she is efficient and rational, very capable of working, and a devil who is not easy to mess with.
Everyone envies her, but only she knows that she envies Zhang Xiaozhang. When
Zhang Xiaozhang entered the post, Wei Jiao noticed this young man. The people in
this group are nothing more than old deep-fried dough sticks like President Yin and old Wang, and he himself is an “old social animal” who has worked for many years and has no feelings like a A. I. The vigor and vitality of Chang Hsiao-chang seem to be out of place in this pile of people.
How can anyone love to work so much?
He always runs up and down with a smile, taking express delivery contracts and invoices; project information is written casually according to the usual practice, but he can always write dozens of pages, all of which are his ideas bit by bit; Meetings are always recorded throughout, and even though no one asks for it, he will organize a detailed summary of the meeting and send it to everyone by email after the meeting. More than once, Wei Jiao wants to remind him, “If no one reads it, don’t write it.”.
He always buys some strange overtime artifacts, such as cushions, small fans, humidifiers, decompression mice, and so on. Small potted plants and toys are piled up on the desk. Every time there are seasonal fruits and snacks on sale, he will buy a pile and give them to everyone enthusiastically.
In a word, Zhang Xiaozhang seems to be an optimistic and hard-working person.
So envious.
Wei Jiao often can not help but think, obviously not much older, compared with him, is not a little too depressed and too negative.
Once the group went to eat barbecue, Zhang Xiaozhang was drunk, nagging Lao Wang’s hand and talking for a long time.
Brother Wang, I know you’re right, but what can I do if I don’t work so hard?
“When I go home, your sister-in-law has to make trouble with me every night. Sometimes she says I didn’t go to the children’s parents’ meeting, and sometimes she says I don’t help with homework. I have to be able to do the key questions. Why are the questions in primary school so difficult now?” “My school is not good, my education is not high, and my major is nothing unusual. I can get into this company, which is already a good luck from heaven. I must cherish it.” When something goes wrong, she only asks me to ask for leave, but I also have my own job and career. She just wants to leave the child to me and play alone. She has no sense of responsibility at all. She doesn’t deserve to be a mother.
I don’t want to be so busy living, but when I was young, everyone told me to go to school, and when I grew up, they told me to find a good job and start a family. No one told me there was another way to live my life! We men should resist! Fight for your rights! We can’t let women ride on our heads. I’m resigned. I just want to work hard and be a screw. Now you’re telling me to pursue my dream?
But I, I have no dream, I just want to live, how can it be so difficult?
」…… Wei Jiao drank sake and sat opposite them to listen.
The two guys were so drunk that their eyes were scattered, and the chicken and the duck actually said the whole thing.
Oh, the original Zhang Xiaozhang is not happy, even optimistic people, will not be happy. With this in mind,
Wei Jiao took out a cigarette from the box. Just as he was about to light it, Zhang Xiaozhang grabbed the lighter on the table and muttered something like, “I’ll light it for Wei Jie.”.
Wei Jiao was afraid that he would burn himself, so he reached out to take it away, but was slapped back by Zhang Xiaozhang, who was so stubborn that he had to order himself.
Wei Jiao had no choice but to let him.
Chang Hsiao-chang snapped down the lighter and stared at the flames for a long time, giggling all the time.
Finally he said, “Look, there are stars.”.
“” Well, there are stars.
Wei Jiao did not see the stars in the fire, but he saw the stars in Zhang Xiaozhang’s eyes.
Later, Wei Jiao sent Zhang Xiaozhang home, only to know that Zhang Xiaozhang and himself lived in the same community, different unit buildings.
Wei Jiao rented a house, and Zhang Xiaozhang shared a three-bedroom apartment with a strange roommate.
Perhaps because of such a layer of fate, Wei Jiao gradually took care of Zhang Xiaozhang.
But this kind of care did not last long, Zhang Xiaozhang died. Zhang Xiaozhang died suddenly in the shower of the gym
because of continuous high-intensity overtime and irregular work and rest.
Knowing the news of Zhang Xiaozhang’s death, Wei Jiao was somewhat sad.
However, she met Zhang Xiaozhang in the office on the sixth day of his death.
Originally planned to write PPT all night, but as soon as I looked up, I saw Zhang Xiaozhang’s concerned face, as well as the same fresh and curious eyes as before.
Wei Jiao found that this is a very irregular imaginary space, the coincidence of the two spaces without rules, but Zhang Xiaozhang often go to a few places, find Zhang Xiaozhang, she can shuttle back and forth in the two spaces. What
she didn’t expect was that Zhang Xiaozhang cared more about her than he did, and he mistakenly thought that she was the one who died. How can
this silly straight man be so funny and cute?
But this night is too short, there are not too many beautiful things in the world, if only I could meet him earlier.
-End-□ After all, I can-Author’s words: This is a supernatural story I was inspired to create after I saw the news of “sudden death of young people working overtime” and “sudden death in the gym”. There
is more than one way to live. I hope there will be one less bitter Zhang Xiaozhang and one more happy and lively young man in the world.
