Midnight Anchorwoman - C54
Between that night and the early hours of the morning, I experienced three incredible things, both of which had to do with sound.
The first time was when Sun Xiaoke let out a low cry from her room. It was because she was always living alone, I really couldn’t think of any reason why she would make such a strange sound.
The second time was in that dream. I heard someone call out my name, and then, in a daze, I wanted to get up and chase that person, but I was discovered by Xu Bing that I was actually sleeping in the corridor. It was autumn now, and even though I was wearing a thicker pyjamas, lying in that place would still feel especially cold.
The third time was the voice just now, and that was enough for one time. The third time was definitely enough.
“It’s fine.”
I was just comforting her, that strange sound just now came from Xu Bing’s bed. I was more cautious now, at that time, pretending to be asleep, and then I observed the location of Xu Bing’s bed through the gaps in the blankets.
I am different from other people, regardless of whether you are a human or a ghost, as long as you appear in front of me, you will not be able to escape my eyes.
That morning, the voice did not appear again.
The next day, the company had nothing to do, the two of us slept until the afternoon, in our line of work, we were definitely eating youth, first of all young people is capital, if the person who appeared in the camera was an old and decrepit woman, of course, my description might be a little inappropriate, but those otaku who don’t sleep in front of their computers in the middle of the night would definitely be instantly impotent.
Moreover, it also hurts my body. Every time I watch a live broadcast, it’s at night. No matter how hard I sleep the next day, I always feel that I have no energy. I stretch my arms a bit and get out of bed.
At this time, Xu Bing also came out from under the blanket.
“Xia Mo.”
“What’s wrong?” I fiddled with the pajamas on my body and looked at the mysterious Xu Bing.
“The voice this morning.”
Xu Bing was timid, I had almost forgotten what happened last night, maybe because I met with a lot of things, if I were to put them in my heart, then I would really be a lunatic.
“It’s fine.” I just didn’t want Xu Bing to take this matter to heart.
“No, I wanted to say that the voice I heard came from your bed. I didn’t dare to say it out loud because I was afraid you’d be scared.”
“My bed.” Xu Bing nodded her head. This matter was indeed strange, the two of us should have slept with our backs facing each other, which was why we could hear the strange creaking sounds coming from each other’s beds.
“It’s okay, I know a Taoist and I know a few ways to get him to come over and take a look when we have time. Is there a problem with the Feng Shui in the dorm?”
“Daoist Priest?” I thought about Liu Yihong at that time, even though this guy is disloyal, when I was grabbed by the neck by Sun Cheng, he actually hid behind the grave and didn’t dare to come out.
But in the end, Liu Yihong still helped Grandmaster Qing, and that was my conscience. I was really interested in who wrote those talismans in his hands, so that person’s cultivation should not be shallow.
“Right, I won’t say anymore. What will we do tonight?”
“It’s nothing. I’m not in the mood to do anything just because I have to take the examination tomorrow.” Xu Bing hid under the blanket the whole time.
“I don’t care at all. At most, I’ll just pack my bags and leave.” I sat down at the table and picked up the picture frame that had been placed on the table. I looked at the picture inside.
She seemed to be called Ya Wen, “Xu Bing, have you heard of her before? Our company has a girl called Ya Wen, she should be a few years older than us.”
“No, why do you ask?”
“Actually, I saw her last time in the live broadcast room.”
“You mean the woman in the frame?”
I nodded. “Yes, her name is Ya Wen, and she is as beautiful as the pictures. I told her about the photo frame the other day, but she might have forgotten about it.”
“Then I’ll leave it here for now. Since it belongs to someone else, there will be a way to return it sooner or later.”
“Right.”
That afternoon, Xu Bing and I stayed in the dorm and chatted until it was time to eat at night before we left. Maybe it was because of the assessment tomorrow, but in today’s canteen, the atmosphere was obviously a little heavy.
When we returned, we met Sun Xiaoke once again. She was actually still wearing those revealing shorts, “Sun Xiaoke, were you sick last night?”
“You are the one who is sick.” Sun Xiaoke glared at me fiercely. Actually, I had good intentions in mind, I thought about it carefully today, and heard a sound through the gap in the door that sounded like someone was sick.
“You, I’m asking you out of good intentions.”
“Forget it, Xia Mo.”
I moved closer, leaning my upper body toward her. Even if I wasn’t as big as her breasts, arguing or fighting wouldn’t be a loss. Xu Bing immediately pulled me back.
“He’s sick.” Sun Xiaoke rolled her eyes at me, then turned and left.
“How could there be such a person?” This time, it was definitely a peaceful and harmonious society that saved her. When Xu Bing and I returned to the dorm, I was probably worried about the assessment tomorrow.
Fearing that it might affect Xu Bing, I simply decided to hide inside the blanket and pretend to be asleep. Vaguely, I felt that someone had woken up, and it was actually Xu Bing.
Xu Bing often woke up at night and when I went back to my bed, I could hear the sound of her slippers hitting the ground and she was actually coming straight at me.
There was a large distance between the two of us, and Xu Bing’s bed was at the side. Thus, the best route to bed was to come out from the bathroom, and then directly turn around and go back to bed. I was curled up under the blanket, and the sound of my slippers had actually disappeared from beside my bed.
“Xia Mo, Xia Mo.”
I broke out in a cold sweat as I hid under the blanket. The voice appeared again. It was a woman’s voice. It was also very long. I quickly got out from under the blanket.
“Xu Bing, what are you doing?”
What I didn’t expect was that the person standing beside my bed would actually be Xu Bing. Her eyes were very strange as she stared at me.
I shouted but Xu Bing actually didn’t have any reaction. I saw her slowly turn around, and then very naturally, she went back to her bedside and laid down.
I looked at Xu Bing as she let out even breaths. I sat on the side of the bed at that time, unable to believe that the voice was actually coming from Xu Bing, and from Xu Bing’s reaction just now, I could tell that she was completely unconscious at that moment. Furthermore, I couldn’t sense any aura of a Yin Spirit from her body.
“Xu Bing, did you call for me last night?”
On the second day, when Xu Bing woke up, I asked intentionally or unintentionally, “No. Xia Mo, what’s wrong? ”
“I’m fine.”
“Don’t tell me you heard that voice again? Originally, I wanted to sleep more vigilantly, but if there’s something I can help you with. Maybe it’s because I’m too sleepy, so I slept especially deeply.”
“I didn’t hear any weird noises. Don’t worry, what time the morning meeting starts?”
“Ten.”
After the two of us cleaned up, it was already past 9, so we could only eat a few biscuits before directly heading to the company. When we pushed open the door, Fatty was looking at me, intentionally or unintentionally.
“Meeting now, 21st century, what’s the most expensive, talented person!” The fatty said those words in a formal tone. He felt that these words were very familiar, so he must have heard them somewhere before.
The fat guy coughed, “Giving is worth it, the company will definitely not treat you all unfairly. This time, the company has decided that the ones who take first place in each group for this period can travel on public charges. Humanistic consideration can be given to the family, and all the expenses can be paid by the company.”
I’m not interested, because this kind of thing doesn’t matter at all. The first in the acting group is the woman called Weiwei, who can be considered the number one in the company. It was at this moment that I realized that the company had divided the staff into several groups, and Xu Bing and I were both in the newbie group.
“First in the newbie group.” When the fatty read till here, he purposely stopped. I saw that Sun Xiaoke’s butt was starting to rise up, she thought that being first was almost certain.
“Xia Mo.”
Sun Xiaoke’s butt had already left the chair, and then, it forcibly landed on top of it.
“Xia Mo, quickly stand up.”
I was practically pulled out of the chair by Xu Bing, and I was really dumbstruck at the time, because I had no way of knowing that it would turn out like this. Could it be that Fatty was worried that I would reveal what I had seen that day?
“Keep working hard.”
“Alright.”
When I sat down, I could clearly feel the enmity in Sun Xiaoke’s eyes when she looked at me. This time, the two of us can be considered to have completely shouldered the responsibility, but I was still ignorant of the fact that a person who was holding me back had become the first in the newbie group, and this kind of plot that wouldn’t even appear in a movie actually happened to me.
“Xia Mo, you’re really good, hiding this from me all this while, making me treat you as my good sister in vain.”
“No, believe me, I really don’t know anything. There’s no one in my live broadcast room, you know that.”
“Alright, I was joking with you. Any of us being first would be better than Sun Xiaoke.” Although this is what Xu Bing said on the surface, I could still see the disappointment in her heart at that instant. It’s not wrong, Sun Xiaoke is fighting with all her strength, completely using her body to fight.
