“What? Say that again? ”

When Hao Ning arrived at the entrance of the company in the morning, he heard Liu Shuai shouting at the front desk.

The one at the front desk was a little beauty named Lele. Usually, when Liu Shuai saw her in the morning, he would be laughing and whispering to her in a warm and gentle voice. Recently, Liu Shuai seemed to be enlightened. He would bring the little beauty breakfast from time to time and chat with her. Today, however, Liu Shuai lost control and became angry at her. Looking at Liu Shuai’s fierce look, the little beauty was stunned and didn’t know what to say.

Although Hao Ning felt that it was strange, he still went over to console him, “Liu Shuai, calm down. What exactly happened to you? You look so scary that no one can answer your question. ”

“Calm down?” Liu Shuai glared at Hao Ning, took a deep breath, and slowly said. “She, just, said that Qili died in the bathroom…”

“Right, speaking like that helps solve any problem you have -” Hao Ning laughed and said to Liu Shuai, but when he finally understood what Liu Shuai had said, he shouted at him without thinking, “What the f * ck! What? Say that again! ” His expression was sinister, more so than Liu Shuai’s expression just now. The fierce look on his face even caused Liu Shuai to jump in fright.

“Uh, you two…”After their chaos, the little beauty at the front desk recovered her mind. She told Liu Shuai and Hao Ning in the scare, “Let me finish my words first. I don’t know what to say if you keep acting like this. The thing was like that. After I arrived at the company in the morning, I heard from the old cleaning staff that a person passed out in the bathroom. I went to look, and it turned out to be Qili. I just called an ambulance, and some colleagues had already sent him to the hospital. ”

“So that’s how it is…” After Hao Ning heard this, he calmed down a little and looked at Liu Shuai, only to see that Liu Shuai was still looking at him, as if he was laughing at him for being impatient, so he immediately made the first move by blaming, “My handsome brother, apparently he passed out in the bathroom. How come you said he died?”

Sure enough, Liu Shuai’s face turned red. He scratched his head in embarrassment, but still pretended to be strong and speak to the beauty at the front desk, “Lele, you told me that Qili passed away in the bathroom, didn’t you?”

Hearing Liu Shuai’s words, Lele laughed out loud, and her previous nervousness turned into smiles, “I didn’t say he passed away in the bathroom. I said he passed out. That’s different. Hehe, you’re too impatient … …”

“You clearly said passed away …” Liu Shuai was eager to argue as he realized that he had been wrongly accused.

“No, you must have misremembered!” Lele stopped Liu Shuai from speaking further.

“Even so…” Hao Ning did not notice these details. He saw that Liu Shuai was embarrassed, and he was aware that he always lost mind for caring about others. This little fellow was very rational in regular time, but if someone he cared about were to in an incident or he encountered a beauty, his reflexes would not be very active, and this was not the first time. Today, he happened to be in front of a beautiful girl while he was informed that something terrible happened to a person he cared about, so it was nothing inexplicable that he would act like that.

Therefore, Hao Ning coughed lightly and changed the topic, “Passing out is no small matter. Moreover, since Lele comes early every day and she heard that Qili fainted in the bathroom when she came to the company so early today, it is very likely that Qili did not pass out this morning, but from last night …”

“That’s right,” Hearing Hao Ning’s words, Lele immediately nodded her head in agreement. “I checked the surveillance footage in the washroom. Hey, why are you both looking at me like that?” Just as Lele was about to continue, she saw that there was something strange in Hao Ning’s and Liu Shuai’s eyes. “Did I say something wrong?”

“You checked the surveillance video of the men’s bathroom?” Hao Ning wiped off his cold sweat, as he quickly retrospected if he made any abnormal actions in the bathroom. “Your taste is awful…”

“Hey, you two scoundrels,” Lele blushed. She knew that the two of them must misunderstand, “I said outside of the bathroom! Who monitors inside bathrooms? You freaks! ”

Hao Ning was startled. He thought that it was Lele who said that herself. Lele insisted that she said “passing out” and did not allow Liu Shuai to argue with her. Thus, she was probably used to speak carelessly and denied after. Hao Ning recognized that Liu Shuai was probably wronged, but such a small matter was not important at all, so he gestured for Lele to continue, “Fine, sorry, we heard wrongly. What happened next?”

“Not a problem… After Qili went in last night, he did not come out at all. If nobody had found him this morning, who knows what kind of danger he would be in.” As Lele spoke, she frowned, “But again, Qili was somewhat strange in the video.”

“Strange?” When Hao Ning and Liu Shuai heard Lele’s words, they immediately asked, “What kind of strange?”

Seeing they were curious, Lele clicked the keyboard and extracted the video out. It was very short, showing that Qili appeared from the corner of a hallway and turned right to the bathroom.

“Did you see that?” Lele pressed the pause button after playing for a few seconds and asked the two.

“Err …” Hao Ning and Liu Shuai starred at each other, but it was too embarrassed to say that they didn’t notice anything, so they forced themselves to say, “It seems … Play it again.”

“Fine.” Lele played it again. “It’s obvious this time?”

“Well…” Hao Ning did not dare blink. He carefully watched the video for a few seconds, but he did not see anything different. Considering Lele’s mistakes a moment ago, he doubted that it was her “fantasy.” However, seeing Lele’s assured expression, he was too embarrassed to say that out.

Liu Shuai played it again but was unable to find it. He could not help but say, “How is this different! It is clearly — ”

“It’s another person!” Before Liu Shuai could finish his words, Zhou Yuan’s voice came from behind him.

“What are you talking about?” Liu Shuai turned his head, wanting to argue with Zhou Yuan, but he was shocked when he saw Zhou Yuan.

Although Liu Shuai could not see the difference in Qi Li from the video at all, Zhou Yuan in front of him was completely different from the man before, and the difference was peculiar.

The clothes, face, appearance, the hairstyle of Zhou Yuan was the same as yesterday, but he felt that Zhou Yuan had changed a lot as if he had become more radiant. What was strange, as Liu Shuai noticed, was that as long as Zhou Yuan was in his field of vision, everything around him was illusory. He couldn’t see anything clearly but Zhou Yuan alone. Furthermore, even though the surrounding environment wasn’t very bright, Zhou Yuan’s body seemed to have been hit by a reflecting light board, and the pores on his face were almost impossible to see anymore. It was as if his face had also become much thinner than before, and his eyes seemed to have grown more extensive and more lively, as though he was wearing a pair of cosmetic contact lenses. The word “radiant” was not too much to describe him right now.

“You …” Liu Shuai had a strange expression. Just as he was about to ask, Lele shouted excitedly, “Zhou Yuan, what brand of cosmetics did you use? Why you look so shiny? ”

“Cosmetics?” Zhou Yuan frowned, he thought, then smiled mysteriously, “To others, I will say that I use nothing, but to you —” He winked at Lele, “I figured it out myself. The composition is rather complicated. I will organize it in two days and then tell you in one go.”

“Fantastic!” Lele nodded her head repetitively. She was delighted.

“What the damned cosmetics!” Hao Ning and Liu Shuai were mumbling in their hearts. How could that be the effect of cosmetics? Moreover, how could there be cosmetics with the outcome of lighting up? Women were genuinely mystical animals. They could observe details that men could not differentiate, but neglect those that were obvious to men.
