The house is money, the story is life

"That notebook, in a sense, is my nemesis."

Sitting on Zhou Tang's lap, Xia Shi said this while arranging the little clothes made of napkins on his body.His appearance has not changed much, and he still maintains the state before disappearing, but his stature has shrunk significantly, from the size of ordinary people to the size of three inches like Run'an Jingyao, and his body is still somewhat translucent, with a faint light shining through it. , blinking with the rhythm of speaking.

Zhou Tang knew that this was a sign of a sharp decline in spiritual power.Xia Shi was already the same as Run'an, so weak that he couldn't even maintain his human form.

"That book you sucked? Is there a curse in it?" Hang Yiwei asked, Ling San also stood behind and listened.Xia Shi shook his head: "It's not a curse, it's just a force... That book is a fledgling spirit, just like me back then, with no content, only blank space. Ignorant and domineering, I desperately want to use other things to put myself fill up..."

"So he took your content." Ling San nodded understandingly, and pointed to the silver cross earrings in Zhou Tang's hand, "Then why are you here?"

"I used to store a small piece of my soul in it. Once I realized something was wrong, I would immediately transfer my own consciousness." Xia Shi replied, motioning Zhou Tang to bring him another napkin.Zhou Tang did as he did, with a dazed expression on his face, as if he hadn't calmed down yet: "I thought you didn't like this..."

"I don't like it very much." Xia Shi wrapped the napkin around his body.

Zhou Tang: "Then you still..."

"I'm afraid of falling." Xia Shi said it as a matter of course, and with his hands, he took the two layers of tissues on his body, and asked Zhou Tang for a rubber band.

Zero Three went to get him a root.Hang Yiwei rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Then do you have any idea now? Who is it that sees you upset and wants to deal with you like this?"

"Who else is there? Didn't the name be reported to you a long time ago?" Xia Shi said, casting a glance at Jieyou who was squatting in the corner reading a book.Passing through the cover, his eyes fell directly on the limited autograph on the title page, his eyes narrowed, and a gleam of light flashed across his pupils: "He left me a very beautiful autograph in Liuliu's soul. Then I will always remember the handwriting."

Several people followed his gaze, and Hang Yiwei said "ah", "Damn, it's true."

Xia Shi nodded, Zhou Tang frowned: "I thought it was those who captured Luo Mozhong..."

"I told you no." Xia Shi's tone was a little impatient, "They can only be cannon fodder at most, they came to hand him his business card——those people acted according to Jingyu's novel, I guess not all of them It was accidental. It's likely that someone deliberately pushed the name Stormy Storm in front of them just to get them to push it in front of us again - and I guess, that person is Stormy Storm himself. He's appealing to me Pay attention, you are also paving the way for your appearance."

When he said this, he suddenly remembered that this was actually not the first time he had heard the name of Jingyu—he and Zhou Tang once took Zero Three’s pixel car to enter the Palace of Souls, and saw countless e-books stretched into a physical place on the way. The shape is like a flock of geese flying in line.And the names printed on those low-key or luxurious book covers are also the same, generally simple and imposing three characters.

What happened that time?Did they meet in advance by accident, or was it a deliberate foreshadowing by Jingyu again?If it's the latter, it's a little scary.How long have they been stared at by this guy?Why is he staring at himself?

Xia Shi was disturbed, he rubbed his forehead and didn't want to think about it, and waved Zhou Tang to prepare him something to eat.Zhou Tang typed a document from the USB flash drive that he carried with him, and Xia Shi didn’t want to read it. He only said that he didn’t want to read the story he had eaten a second time, and asked him to code it now. Zhou Tang had no choice but to bring it with him. With a USB flash drive, he went into Hang Yiwei's study room, turned on the computer and started typing.

Hang Yiwei thought it was funny: "I know you are in a bad mood, but don't torment him like this."

"I don't feel comfortable with him here." Xia Shi pursed his lips and sighed suddenly, "I can't tell...I don't like his current mood."

Hang Yiwei: "?"

"He is my typist, and I can feel his thoughts and emotions a little bit." Xia Shi said, "And his current emotions make me feel a little annoyed."

"He's nervous about you." Lingsan said, "I'm also blaming myself. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will not feel good, not to mention that I always feel that Mr. Zhou has some...well, low self-esteem, and he may feel more than that. Others are stronger."

"I know." Xia Shi said, "I don't know if it's because most of me was taken away. I feel a little empty, stiff and numb. I can feel Zhou Tang's emotions, and I can figure out why, but I can't digest it. It's like a moth just bumping around out the window, and I know I should sympathize with it, but really, I just find it annoying."

After Xia Shi finished speaking, he glanced at the cross earrings on the table—Zhou Tang put it on the table when he went to the study, and told Ling San to look after it—and said indifferently: "I can't even understand my earrings. Why did you keep this thing in the first place. It's so ugly."

Zero Three: "..."

He looked at Xia Shi without a word, and then turned to look at Hang Yiwei.The latter only shrugged his shoulders, with a "no problem" attitude: "You can still know beauty and ugliness. Fortunately, it's not too bad."

Zero Three: "..."

"It's okay, don't worry about him." Hang Yiwei saw his worry, and patted him on the shoulder, "This guy is just like this... Just let Zhou Tang feed him well."

Xia Shi knelt on the sofa and nodded in agreement.No matter how his appearance and personality change, he firmly believes in one truth from beginning to end - there is no trouble in the world that cannot be solved by a story.If so, bring a few more.If still there, replace the typist.

"Then after you recover, can you take a look at Liuliu?" Ling San asked again, and at the same time glanced at another corner of the room.The anti-virus software seemed to have given up, and they went back to the computer and mobile phone one after another. There were only six or six people left, sitting with wide-eyed eyes, looking dumbfounded.Ling San frowned unbearably, and implored Xia Shi: "I apologize to you on her behalf, and I will take the responsibility that I should bear. Please help her after you recover. Liu Liu's nature is actually not bad."

"I don't want you to be responsible. Whether her nature is good or not has nothing to do with me." Xia Shi waved his hand, "Even if you don't tell me, I will save her. I still have a lot of things to ask her. And that..."

Xia Shi glanced at Jiechou, frowned, and turned away quickly.For him, reading is eating, and Jiechou's smirking face while reading is like eating ugly.

"Anyway, let's wait until I recover." Xia Shi said, raising his head and seeing Zhou Tang rushing in with two pieces of paper, "So fast?"

"I'm running out of time, so I'll edit and type the manuscript I saved before." Zhou Tang handed over the paper, "You probably haven't eaten this, so take it to fill your stomach first. I'll write another copy when I go back." ordered..."

"The previous manuscript?" Xia Shi nodded dissatisfied, but couldn't hold back his hunger, so he reluctantly accepted it, only read a few lines, and suddenly frowned again.

Zhou Tang's heart skipped a beat, he thought it was because he was dissatisfied.Unexpectedly, Xia Shi frowned, but his eyes showed shock, followed by confusion.

Finally, he raised his head and asked hesitantly, "Zhou Tang, what are you writing?"

"...Do you not like it?" Zhou Tang immediately said, "Then I will rewrite it..."

"No." Xia Shi interrupted him, "What I want to ask is, are you writing Chinese characters?"

Zhou Tang: "...Huh?"

The confusion in Xia Shi's eyes was even worse: "Why... can't understand at all?"
