All the little white rabbits adore me

Dawson saw Xie Jiu walk into the office.He raised his eyebrows, looking a little helpless.Xie Jiu directly pulled the chair in front of the iron desk and sat down.I looked around, and finally my eyes stopped on the new row of vinyl discs in the bookcase.

Xie Jiu stood up and opened the bookcase, removed the book end and took out one of them, carefully read the words on the cover, and then raised his hand. 'Put this' he motioned to Dawson with his eyes.

After Dawson put the stylus down, Xie Jiu had already lit the cigarette he took from the scattered documents on his desk. He was smoking lazily, satiated like a cat.The vinyl disc record player just brought out a bit of classical flavor to the fierce tune, and the high-spirited female voice without loss filled the room like a storm.

"You really think of me as a smoking room," Dawson pinched the bridge of his nose through his black-rimmed glasses, and there was a blue shadow under his eyes. "Look at your leisurely appearance... Tell me, what's the trouble?"

"The mess has been settled," Xie Jiu lowered his head and took a puff of cigarette, then grabbed his clothes with his other hand and rubbed vigorously against his abdomen, "Smoke can cure all diseases, so I will save you some effort."

Dawson looked noncommittal.The song has reached its climax at this time, the wildly playing movement is mixed with the lead singer's full treble, like ice and snow engulfing tons of wind and howling, Dawson taps the table with his knuckles following the rhythm of the music.

"Why did you choose this song?"

"I wouldn't choose Franz Schubert's music in this kind of place," said Xie Jiu, who could actually spit out smoke rings in various shapes with his tongue, but he won't show it here.Xie Jiu raised his eyes and smiled at Dawson, "Because I think senior brother is suitable for this song."

"Twofacedramarebellion (double-sided drama, betrayal plot), AreyoutheJoker, KingorQueen (are you a clown, king, or queen)..."

Without looking at Dawson's sharp eyes, Xie Jiuyun spit out the smoke quickly, and sang along with the tune in a leisurely manner. His clean voice was unexpectedly in tune with the lead singer, with one low and one high harmonious.

The song is over.At noon, after the aftertaste of the storm dissipated, the room was warm.The wallpaper was covered with gold powder by the sun, and the light reflected from the glass of the bookcase formed a spot of light next to Dawson.Dawson clapped his hands together—not an applause at all.

Xie Jiu twisted the cigarette butt into the clean fiberglass.There is still a pack of cigarettes on the table in front of him, within reach, but he is not in a hurry to smoke.On the opposite side, Dawson's expression behind the glasses was gentle, and the sharp gaze just now seemed to be an illusion.But the change in expression at that moment has been captured by Xie Jiu.

It was the product of the collision of disbelief and slight trepidation—for Xie Jiu, who had lived his life by observing people's eyebrows and eyes since he was a child, the change in breath and feeling at that moment was quite obvious.

"What do you mean?" Dawson asked, then took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose vigorously. The blue color under his eyes made him look very tired. He leaned his body completely on the back of the chair, trying to show his indifference.

After figuring out the rules, the actions of the person in front of him became very straightforward.Xie Jiu took out another cigarette while thinking, deepening the smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Of course I don't understand why Brother Dawson Gent, who is known as the 'Design Master' throughout Parko, is here, and I don't know why Brother Dawson behaved as if we were very familiar when he first met me... ..."

——Like a thunderstorm on the ground.

"Don't be too surprised, Doctor Dawson. Yes, you should call me a doctor here. Your performance is a bit too much. To be precise... it's too conniving." Xie Jiu said lightly, "In the exiled land, Buddy and the others Not to mention, the staff should not be allowed to smoke outside the smoking area, and you—although the status of a department like the medical room is relatively detached, the person in charge will never take the initiative to pass cigarettes to people like us. "

"What's more, I'm an unknown person. There is no other intersection except that we have all stayed at the University of Pico. I am just one of the most ordinary people here. But you are not angry if I smoke cigarettes, and you are not angry if I take the vinyl in the bookcase. , even if I question you so bluntly now, you are just surprised..."

Xie Jiu slowly rubbed the grinding wheel on the lighter with his thumb, watching the little sparks explode.He moved the lighter to the bottom of the cigarette and took a deep breath.The end of the white skin was scorched black instantly by the tongue of fire.

Dawson's face was slightly gloomy. Although his posture looked normal, his whole body was tense from his back to the ends of his fingers as if the power had been cut off.His fingers trembled slightly, but he put on the glasses next to him very firmly.

It seemed he was not going to explain.

"Why do you pamper me so much? In such a class-clear place, you, who major in art, can't act without reason." Xie Jiu looked sure of winning, but he secretly noticed Dawson's reaction from the corner of his eye, " What's more, your favors to me are not out of goodwill, there is no lust in your eyes, nor unwillingness, so you are not being coerced by others. "

"If you ask me, it feels more like business affairs." Xie Jiu looked at Dawson's expression and continued to deduce, "So, someone asked you to come here to satisfy me as much as you can, but you don't want to be seen by me. come out……"

Dawson's expression was a little strange, and Xie Jiu realized that he had hit the bull's-eye.

Xie Jiu slowly took a puff of cigarette, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.Instead of asking who that person was as Dawson expected, the conversation turned abruptly.

"Since that person asked you to help me, then do your best. Now that you've said it, you won't have any concerns about being discovered, right?" Xie Jiu expressed his request bluntly, "Now I need Neil and Buddy's The information should be detailed."

Dawson relaxed his tense back, lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself, but he didn't smoke, letting the white smoke curl up.

"You don't understand." Dawson said, his tone was gentle as if nothing had changed.He shook his head and repeated again "You don't understand. You think you are one of the most ordinary thousands of people, but for him, you are unique and indispensable."

he?

Xie Jiu frowned, listening to Dawson's words.

"Of course I will help you."

When the staff came to knock on the cell door, Xie Jiu was playing poker with Asa.The card is an offering made by others after the cafeteria incident that day.Xie Jiu didn't have the uneasiness of a fox pretending to be a tiger.When I explained the rules of Doudizhu to Asa for a long time but got a blank face, I can only regret that I have cards but can't enjoy Doudizhu.

Xie Jiu broke up all the cards and shuffled them on the bed sheet like mahjong.

"This is a poker divination game. It is said to be very effective. The four types of red, square, plum and black represent the people you will meet in the future. Hearts are female companions, diamonds are male companions, clubs are friends, and spades are rivals... In terms of strength The ace is the highest, and it weakens from top to bottom. Your age is 19, so I have prepared nineteen cards for you, well, let's draw."

This is what Xie Jiu and Fatty used for entertainment when they had no money to fry gold flowers.Xie Jiu used it to calculate the relationship between Fatty and Xianghua several times before, and it was extremely accurate. It turned out that it was impossible for the two of them, but Fatty didn't cry when he saw the coffin.

Xie Jiu stacked the shuffled cards together, fanning out evenly with the suit on the back facing upwards.

Asa thought for a moment, then carefully took out one of them and handed it to Xie Jiu. Xie Jiu took a look and smiled.

"Diamond nine, it means that there will be a good boyfriend waiting for you in the future?" Xie Jiu laughed, "...it's ok."

He joked as usual.This time, though, Asa looked a little downcast.Xie Jiu quickly got serious, and he shuffle the cards again.

"Stop laughing, stop laughing, don't worry, I'll take a look..." Xie Jiu spread out the cards again, this time there were twenty cards representing his age.

"Give me a decent girl after I go out, just be prettier than that crazy woman Chunhua. She has a gentle personality, and it's best to cook delicious food..." Xie Jiu muttered in his heart, his fingertips were originally on the edge On one card, a strange feeling controlled his fingers to choose the one in the middle.

Xie Jiu rubbed the cards in his hands for a while, and when he was about to open them, he heard the sound of leather boots colliding with the ground. His expression changed, and he quickly stuffed the cards under the bed. Asa also winked and wiped the sheets with the quilt All the cards on the board are covered.

The staff first looked around the room and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xie Jiu sitting on the bed obediently.Then he knocked on the railing, and his tone could even be called kind.

"That one wants to see you."

After Xie Jiu left, Asa stuck his head under the bed and reached for the card.

A bright square ace was held tightly in his hand.

The square ace represents the strongest male partner.Invincible and omnipotent representative of power.

"That's it... Sure enough."

Because of the previous Judgment Day, this time was actually the first time Xie Jiu looked at this room peacefully.There is a magnificent tapestry on the openwork wallpaper, but there is no other decoration, and the overall style is extremely simple.The picture frame near the window sill depicts the scene of the sky fire falling into Sodom and the volcanic eruption of Pompeii in turn. The last picture shows the angel holding a scepter surrounded by skeletons.

...the angel with the scepter?

The room was quiet, Xie Jiu cautiously took two steps forward.When he noticed the movement around him, he raised his arms—it was too late, and the raised arms were instantly shackled to the wall.

The aura of deja vu enveloped the whole body, looking at the tall man who silently approached him to the corner, Xie Jiu raised his head, deliberately showing his fragile neck.

——That was a sign of weakness, actively dedicating a flaw that would lead to a one-hit kill to the enemy, and retreating to advance.

On the way, he had already gone through the information provided by Dawson in his mind again, especially about Neil's likes and dislikes.

The man in front of him is quite a terrifying pervert, he likes everything that is docile and obedient, no matter whether it is dead or alive.It is said that a purebred Saluki that had been raised for five years was brutally stripped of all its teeth and fur because it scratched his skin while having fun.

That's not all. After the dog died, the man stuffed it without skin and teeth, and declared that it was his favorite hunting dog.

"Neil," Xie Jiu didn't show any fear on his face, he said the man's name without hesitation, like whispering a lover's whisper, "After the last Judgment Day, I will often dream of you..."

Xie Jiu paused, the man's fingers were gently stroking his Adam's apple.

"Continue to talk." Neil said flatly, without any emotional fluctuations.

Xie Jiu swallowed his saliva and continued: "Although I can't remember the plot of the dreams, those dreams feel good, and... even in normal times, I will think of you..."

Xie Jiu lowered his eyes, but did not choose to look at Neil.What he is reciting now is the script prepared for him by the executive team, in line with the role of 'Shu Ya', he suppresses it first and then raises it.

Appropriately show weakness, pretend to attack, and slowly lure the enemy deep.It is said that this kind of abnormality is hit and miss.

"I don't know what this is... When I was a kid, my parents would fight a lot. They would throw things on the wall and the glasses would shatter. I would hide under the table and put my hands over my ears and pretend everything was okay. Fortunately, my father will beat my mother after drinking too much, I am so scared, but I can only cry..."

Xie Jiu became embarrassed, and his words seemed incoherent... everything was the style required in the script.

The fingers lingering from the neck came to the left chest - Xie Jiu's heart was beating violently. Neil stared at him, his gradually deepening eyes were like a king snake tightening its body silently.
