C26 (2/2)

A day passed just like this. In next to no time, it was time for the shift to begin.

In the past, when I was on duty, it was the same as the execution ground. After encountering those supernatural things, it was more like being on the guillotine for me. But with Zhang Shimin, this was a completely different story. It was the first time in my life that I was so eager to change shifts!

After handing in my shift, I directly ordered two takeout dishes. I just foolishly looked at the main entrance, looking forward to the return of my lover.

At around seven o'clock, Zhang Shimin arrived as expected. However, she was holding two lunchboxes in her hands.

Didn't she say she didn't have a key? Then how did she get this thermal lunch box? Could it be that someone from her family had returned?

Thinking of this, my mood immediately dropped to the bottom.

”What is it? ”You don't want to eat the food I make?”

Seeing my pained expression, Zhang Shimin walked straight into the station and placed the lunch box on the table. Only then did she see the two takeout dishes that I ordered.

”In the future, you need to eat less of these things. It's not only expensive, but also unhygienic.”

Hearing her words, I obediently nodded my head. However, when I thought about the fact that I had to stay in an empty room by myself, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness. ”From today onwards, are you going to go back and live?”

Hearing that, Zhang Shimin suddenly seemed to come to a realization. She couldn't help but burst out into laughter. Then, with a blush, she sneakily looked at me and said, ”What? You're not willing to part with me?”

”En!”

Seeing me nod, her face couldn't help but turn even redder. After a long time, she replied like a mosquito, ”Don't worry. Before you completely get rid of the danger, I'll accompany you every night.”

These words seemed to pierce my heart. Adding to her pitiful appearance, I couldn't help but feel like she had stretched out her Demon Claw!

It turned out to be like last night, and this time it hurt so much I could barely hold my chopsticks...

After dinner, she hung the copper coin with the red string on it on the doorknob and handed me a small wooden object.

When I took a look at it, I couldn't help but be astonished by her cooking skills!

It was a small wooden qilin. Its carving skills were simply top-notch! Not to mention that the scales of the Qilin were faintly discernable, even its eyes were mighty and domineering, full of vigor and vitality!

Seeing that I really liked her, Zhang Shimin looked at me with an ashamed expression and said, ”I'm sorry, last time it was all because of our carelessness that we gave the bad guy an opportunity to take advantage of us. Although the bad guy was punished later on, it was because of this that you suffered so much.”

Zhang Shimin's specialty seemed to be this pitiful expression. Furthermore, every time she showed that wronged expression, I would immediately surrender.

Seeing this, I directly grabbed both of her hands, ”How can that be, idiot? It's all the bad guy's fault. Moreover, didn't he also receive his punishment?”

After hearing what I said, Zhang Shimin turned tears into smiles and happily went to clean up the dishes. As for me, the moment I said those words, my mind immediately exploded with thunderclaps!

”You say that the bad man has been punished? When did this happen? Who is that bad guy? ”

Hearing my sudden question, Zhang Shimin replied without hesitation, ”My sister-in-law went missing on the first night, so my father knew something must have happened. He used a profound skill of aversion the next day to make the person who harmed my sister-in-law suffer even more severe punishments. However, even my father is not sure who this person is. ”

The second day? More severe punishment? Doesn't that mean that the person who tried to kill me was unconscious the day after I swapped the wooden ox with him? Then, what happened after that?
