"When did this guy come here?"
When I wanted to find this guy, I couldn't find him, and I didn't even know where to look.
Unexpectedly, he would come to the door by himself now.
Xie Chen ran towards the stairs with joy. When the hooded girl and the old gentleman heard the rapid footsteps, they quickly looked at Xie Chen coming this way.
"Why are you so anxious?"
The old gentleman asked a little confused.
But Xie Chen, who was in a hurry, didn't have time to pay attention to him.
After the cleaner in white went upstairs, Bing alone held the mop below and dragged him up the stairs.
You can clearly see the expression on his face, which is not that reluctant.
Even though Xie Chen's footsteps running this way were loud, he didn't hear it himself.
"How do you say now?"
The hooded girl looked at Xie Chen who had already arrived in front of her and asked suddenly.
Xie Chen was a little puzzled.
He came up to talk to the cleaner in white, but he didn't expect that this woman actually wanted to ask him what his plans were.
Xie Chen shook his head.
"How do you say what?"
If you don't understand, just take it for granted. The hooded girl's words will naturally not be of any use to you. At worst, you can just throw the question back again.
I am good at pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.
Even though he and the hooded girl were talking behind him, the cleaner in white just ignored them.
Xie Chen didn't think that he couldn't hear. It should be said that he didn't care at all what he and the hooded girl were talking about.
The hooded girl saw that she had no intention of speaking, so she looked towards the stairs again.
Xie Chen scratched his head.
After all, he came here in a hurry, so he had to explain something to these two people.
"I just came here to see you off. What I'm afraid of is that something will happen when I go down the stairs."
After thinking for a while, Xie Chen made up a similar statement on the spot to round out his approach.
"Don't worry, young man. Although I'm just an old man, I can still walk lightly."
"As for this little girl, let alone that. Young people not only have good minds, but also have good legs and feet."
Xie Chen smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
The hooded girl glanced at the white-clothed cleaner who was dragging up more and more next to her.
Then he simply closed his eyes.
It seemed that Xie Chen had no intention of coming over to see him off at first.
I also know this.
So the most likely thing is that he had something in mind and wanted to tell himself and his old man, but he was afraid that the cleaner in white who suddenly appeared would know about it.
Or he wanted to come over to see the cleaner in white, and maybe discuss some other things that he didn't want him and the old man to know.
In addition to these two most likely things, of course it is not ruled out that there are other things that I have not guessed.
"What are you doing standing here?"
"If you have to give way, give it up quickly. I've already mopped the people down there. Don't stand behind me and block the way."
The cleaner in white held the mop with one hand and touched the sweat on his forehead with the other and said to the three people behind him.
The most polite old gentleman apologized quickly, and then pulled the hooded girl next to him downstairs.
The hooded girl stretched her hand to the side. She could not keep up with the old gentleman. She wanted to see what Xie Chen's reaction would be next.
After all, he and his old man were leaving.
If this guy really came to see him off, he should be standing at the top of the stairs and staring at him with all his attention.
Assuming that he was looking for this cleaner in white clothes, there should be some flaws in his expression.
The hooded girl did not look back immediately, but followed him slower.
Xie Chen frowned, feeling a bit of temptation.
"What's wrong?"
"Is your foot hurt?"
Xie Chen didn't hold back. After seeing the hooded girl deliberately slow down her walking speed, she asked directly.
The hooded girl did not answer immediately, but turned her head to look at Xie Chen, her mouth still closed.
The old gentleman also turned around and urged.
"Come on, Nizi, go back and have something to eat first."
Xie Chen also frowned. On the surface, he looked worried, but in his heart, he was a little disgusted with the hooded girl testing him.
But then again, I look at people a lot of times.
Just a thought came to mind.
This is how it feels when others doubt and test you.
After seeing the hooded girl shake her head, her frown turned into a smile.
But he didn't see the pace getting faster, and the cleaner in white became a little impatient at this time.
"Hurry, hurry, don't disturb me cleaning this broken staircase."
Being urged like this, the hooded girl had no choice but to speed up and rush downstairs.
But then upstairs, there was another complaint from the cleaner in white.
"And you!"
"They both left, why are you still standing here? Do you understand that you are blocking the place where I am cleaning?"
Xie Chen looked embarrassed and quickly apologized and said he was leaving.
Looking up from downstairs, the scene that appeared at the corner of the stairs made me feel relieved.
The hooded girl breathed a sigh of relief.
At least Xie Chen shouldn't be looking for the cleaner in white clothes.
Although it is not ruled out that they are acting for people to see, it is unlikely that they will have such a tacit understanding of cooperation.
And in fact, the three of them only met each other once.
Even if he really wanted to hide something from himself, there was no need to deliberately put on so many dramas in front of himself and his old man.
At least that's what I thought in my heart.
When Xie Chen saw that his performance was about the same, he slowly retreated into the corridor.
Of course, he didn't go back to his room, but watched the cleaner in white cleaning the corner of the stairs.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a while, this guy's temper gradually became so explosive.
After waiting for a while, watching the white-clothed cleaners cleaning up almost everything, Xie Chen took a breath and prepared to walk over and talk.
After finishing the work at the door, the cleaner's temper in white improved a lot, not as grumpy as when he just went up the stairs.
"you again?"
I saw him dragging the bucket and broom in his hand, looking at me sideways.
Xie Chen was a little at a loss, even though he had already had countless conversations with the cleaner in white.
But at this time, all the words in his mind suddenly disappeared.
"Uh...yes, it's me."
There was really no other way, and with my mind blank, I could only say this in a hesitant way.
The cleaner shook his head and looked at himself in confusion.
"That's not right. There's no injury in your mouth. No matter how much you talk, you're still hesitant and uncharacteristic."
Xie Chen took a deep breath secretly. Hearing the words of the white-clothed cleaner, he thought of something and asked in a formal way.
"Do you think I'm still a person?"
The cleaner in white looked at himself up and down as if he was being questioned.
He stared at his feet for a while, then slowly looked up his thighs toward his head.
"It seems that he is not quite a person."
After hearing this answer, even though I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Why am I not quite a person?
Is it possible that half of them are still human?
"Are all the guests in this hotel like this?"
"They're all like me."
Maybe he felt that the cleaner in white didn't quite understand what he wanted to express, so Xie Chen added something at the end.
The cleaner twisted the mop and replied perfunctorily: "What are you thinking about?"
"It would be much easier to manage if everything was like this, and this hotel wouldn't become more and more messy."
"It's like in the past. Although it was dirty, it was much cleaner than it is now. Although I am very tired every day, it doesn't have to be like this."
Xie Chen stood there, listening to the complaints of the cleaner in white, and his eyes gradually became determined.
Seeing him rinsing the mop in the aisle, Xie Chen was struggling in his heart.
As if he had made great preparations, Xie Chen struggled to speak after much thought.
"Uncle Zang..."
"I want to ask you, do you know how to get me to leave this hotel?"
The cleaner in white shook his head while wringing out the moisture from the mop.
Xie Chen was a little puzzled.
He obviously called Uncle Zang such a friendly name, but why was he a little indifferent?
Before I could figure it out.
The cleaner in white continued to mop the floor with a mop, and replied helplessly: "This hotel is not something you can come and leave whenever you want. Being able to come here is also an opportunity created by your own hands."
"Even though many of you were least expecting to be here and were most afraid of coming here."
"We, the people, most hope that you can leave the hotel. Of course, whether you can leave or not depends on you."
"If it's always in your own hands and you can't hold the key right, then no one can help."
Xie Chen was in a daze after hearing these words.
"So everyone comes here dirty, right?"
"Only those who are dirty enough come to this hotel..."
"And the way to get out of a hotel is to get as clean as possible."
Xie Chen murmured to himself.
“Not just getting clean.”
“It’s about making your source clean!”
The cleaner in white straightened his back and finally turned around to face him. Even the reminder was so sonorous and powerful.
"My own source?"
Xie Chen was very confused. What was the source describing?
flesh?
Spirit?
Or is it a level that is more difficult for you to understand?
Before he could ask clearly, the cleaner in white clothes disappeared in front of him with a familiar look.
