Yan Qiang looked at her phone. The screen was dazzlingly bright in the dark. There was a burning sensation in her eyes, and physiological fluid began to fill and infiltrate.
Ling Yin turned on the bedside lamp.
The dim light was gentler than the screen of the mobile phone. After Yan Qiang got used to the light for a while, she took the phone.
It's been too long and the phone has been hung up.
The screen goes off.
Yan Qiang blinked hard several times, but the foreign body sensation still made her feel that her inner eyelids were being rubbed, which was very uncomfortable.
After calming down for a while, she got up with her cell phone and walked to the outer hall to call Huo Qi back.
It rang twice and picked up.
"It's so late, what happened?" Yan Qiang's voice was a little hoarse, a kind of sleepiness, mixed with a little nasal sound.
"Do you want to eat?" Huo Qi suddenly asked.
Yan Qiang almost didn't react.
She looked at her phone. It was already past three in the morning. What should she eat at this hour?
What's more, she is in Yangling now, not Jinghai.
"I'm sleeping."
Yan Qiang rubbed her temples.
Huo Qi said "hmm" in a very light tone, "How did you sleep?"
"Not much," she said.
With Rong Xi as the god of plague, she couldn't sleep well. She was in a state of chaos. When Huo Qi called, she was having a bad dream.
That's why I was so frightened the moment I woke up.
What's more, receiving a call suddenly at three o'clock in the morning would not be good for anyone.
"Then get up and go somewhere with me." Huo Qi said.
"?" Yan Qiang said, "I'm not in Jinghai."
"I know." Huo Qi's voice sounded a little hollow, "I'm downstairs in the hotel. Do you want to come down by yourself or should I go up?"
"Are you in Yangling?"
Yan Qiang subconsciously walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked down.
There was indeed a car parked in front of the hotel.
"Flash the light," she said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the headlights of the car in front of the hotel flashed twice.
Yan Qiang just stood by the window.
The distance was a bit high, and she couldn't see clearly who was in the car, but those two flashes of light still caused ripples in her heart.
Probably because he didn't hear her voice, Huo Qi opened the door and got out of the car, holding the phone and looking up.
At three o'clock in the morning, the curtains of only one room in the hotel were opened, revealing a subtle light.
It's obviously just a blurry figure, but it still makes people feel like they're looking at each other from a distance.
She didn't know how Huo Qi got here, or how he knew she was in this hotel.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt at ease.
It was like Duckweed had found the shore at this moment, and all her fears were shattered by his appearance.
"Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and come down."
Yan Qiang changed her clothes.
Seeing Ling Yin also getting up to go out with her, she said, "You can rest in your room. I'll go down to meet someone. I'll be back before the reading tomorrow."
Ling Yin looked at the time.
Three o'clock in the morning.
When the boss speaks, she naturally has to listen: "My mobile phone is on 24 hours a day. If you are in danger, call me."
"Okay." Yan Qiang said.
Yan Qiang had already reached the door, and Ling Yin suddenly followed her, "I'll take you down. This hotel may not be safe."
…
The car is parked right in front of the hotel.
Yan Qiang wore a long skirt underneath, a windbreaker outside the long skirt, a mask and a hat.
Huo Qi was the only one in the car.
After Yan Qiang got in the car, Ling Yin watched the car leave before turning and walking towards the hotel.
It was quiet in the car.
Yan Qiang fastened her seat belt and turned to look at the man driving beside her, "Why are you in Yangling?"
This is not a commercially developed place.
What's more, as a person who has just resigned from Huo's, he should not be able to develop his business territory here.
Still at this time.
"What do you want to say?"
Huo Qi didn't even look at her.
That tone seemed to be asking: You don't think I'm here because of you, do you?
After experiencing so much, Yan Qiang would not think so.
Yangling is not a very big place. At this time, there are almost no people on the road, not even cars.
On the road which is not too wide, they are the only car that can be seen at a glance.
"Where to go?" Yan Qiang asked.
Huo Qi didn't answer her.
Yan Qiang is not very familiar with this place. Although she knows that Huo Qi hates her, she also knows that Huo Qi will not endanger her life, so even if he doesn't tell her, she knows that this trip will not happen. What.
The two of them were silent all the way.
The car didn't drive very far. Yan Qiang looked out the window. The street lights gradually disappeared from her sight, and the road ahead was a little dark.
She looked at Huo Qi again.
"Are you going to the beach?" Yan Qiang asked, "Watch the sunrise?"
Yangling is a strange place. Although the place name contains the word "ridge", there are indeed mountains here, but the other side is close to the sea. However, the sea on this side has no soft sandy beach, no gentle coastline, only steep cliffs.
"No." Huo Qi said casually, "I just threw you into the sea to feed the sharks."
Only if you can believe this is there a ghost.
Yan Qiang made a sound, looked at the dark sky, and said, "With this weather, we may not be able to see the sunrise. The weather forecast says it will rain tonight."
She had checked the weather before coming to Yangling.
Because the forecast said it would rain tonight, she originally planned to stay in Zhouhai for one night and wait for dawn before coming to Yangling. Although the plan was disrupted by a phone call from Rong Xi, the rain in the forecast never fell.
"It's not a knife attack, what are you afraid of?" Huo Qi said.
"When did I get scared?"
"Aren't you afraid?" Huo Qi glanced at her, "Aren't you afraid that Rong Xi will scare you out of your wits?"
"..."
Yan Qiang was speechless.
After a while, she said, "I'm not afraid, I'm disgusted. There is a difference between disgust and fear."
Huo Qi snorted.
Yan Qiang was not annoyed and let him drive while she sat there quietly, watching the gloomy sky.
A clicking sound suddenly sounded.
There were raindrops falling on the car glass, but in the blink of an eye, the rain suddenly became stronger, as if a hole had suddenly been smashed in the sky, and the rain poured down from the sky.
It's dark.
The heavy rain curtains blocked the car lights and made it almost impossible to see the road, and the visibility plummeted.
The raindrops hit the car glass, making a dull sound, wrapping the entire car like surround sound. The car was actually very quiet, and the sound of rain seemed to come from a distant space, making Yan Qiang subconsciously tighten her seat belt. .
Huo Qi parked the car on the side of the road and turned on the roof light.
Dim yellow lights illuminated the space inside the car, and the rain curtain blocked all light from outside, turning the place into a narrow and airtight space.
Yan Qiang thought of the safety cabins in those doomsday novels.
At this time, the heavy rain outside seemed to turn into a mutated creature outside the safety cabin, slapping the car frame with its claws and fangs, trying to tear the car body apart and swallow them into its belly.
The more she thought about it, the more terrifying the scenery outside the window seemed to her.
At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her, and she slapped the hand away almost reflexively.
Huo Qi: "?"
