I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Chapter 96 My wife (8)

weekend.

Zhou Qili and Qian Ai’s two absentee parties finally came back. They both looked good. As long as they saw their glorious appearances, Xu Jiao guessed that they were in a good mood recently and did not encounter any dirty things. .

Zhou Qili returned to the dormitory in large bags, with the new clothes she bought, as well as the special products and fruits that Qian Aina’s relatives forced over when they left. The first time she opened the door and saw Xu Jiao, she ran over with a smile. :

“Xiao Xu! You win the bet! From tomorrow on, I will obediently solve the six-level questions and strive for a set of real questions for two days, okay?”

“I also brought you an amulet. I asked it in the temple. It’s really great there. When the master saw Ai Ai and I, he said that we should have had some bad luck recently, and the charms were all hand-painted by him. Yes, I heard it is useful!”

Qian Ai went to say hello to other dormitory friends. He was chatting outside, and now he came a few steps slowly, but when he saw Xu Jiao, he was very happy. He saw Zhou Qili put down her things and took out the yellow paper from her bag. The folded amulet was stuffed into Xu Jiao’s place, and she ran over, leaning to the two of them:

“How about we go out for a meal today? I treat it as a good luck to our dormitory!”

She knew that Xu Jiao’s life was a little bit tight, so she simply said that she was a treat, so that Zhou Qili and Xu Jiao were both in the category of being treated, and it wouldn’t make Xu Jiao think too much.

Xu Jiao squeezed the talisman sent by Zhou Qili in her right hand, and saw the two roommates flushed, but they were slightly embarrassed: “I will have a part-time tutor next time, and I’m going to teach students now. I’m out of the door, maybe I won’t be able to have a dinner together, how about you two going to eat?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Jiao heard the sound of her old mobile phone.

It is the information prompt sound.

She picked it up and saw that it turned out to be a message sent to her by the parents of the students saying that they had returned to their hometown in the country on Friday. They had just turned back and there was a traffic jam on the road. It is estimated that it was night when they returned to the city. Weeks don’t have to pass for now.

Zhou Qili stood next to her, caught a glimpse of the content on Xu Jiao’s phone, and immediately clapped her hands: “God, God, this is a hint that you are going to have a big meal with us.”

Xu Jiao smiled helplessly, and it was enough to refuse once for the sake of seriousness. Rejecting this group activity over and over again would easily hurt feelings.

Qian Ai saw that she didn’t refuse any more, and immediately supported the pole on the upper bunk side of her and went to the bed: “Then I will put on makeup now. It was very hot outside today. I sweated a lot along the way. Makeup must have been spent. ”

Zhou Qili also pulled to her excitedly: “Did you buy a new product of liquid foundation recently? I’ll try it out for you!”

It’s not enough to try it on her own. Zhou Qili never forgets to bring Xu Jiao: “Jiaojiao, do you want to try it? You don’t always wear makeup, or do we help you tidy it up today? I really want to try the feel of applying makeup Oh, you have such a good foundation, and you will definitely look good after makeup.”

Qian Ai was still cherishing the bottle of liquid foundation that he hadn’t opened, but now he heard Zhou Qili’s proposal, and he was eager to try, sitting on his upper bunk and looking at Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao blinked slowly.

The words of refusal came to her lips. Zheng Zhiyu in red appeared next to her at some point, her bright red clothes reflected a little under her eyes, her pale fingertips placed her back and bowed her head in her ears. Advise:

“Promise them.”

“I also want to see what you look like after putting on makeup.”

Only Xu Jiao could see her. Hearing her voice, the two roommates in front of her didn’t even know what was going on, but somehow felt that the temperature in the dormitory seemed to drop a little.

Qian Ai rubbed his arm indifferently. Seeing that Xu Jiao was a little shaken, he smiled and echoed Zhou Qili’s words: “Try it, you can choose different styles of makeup, I can do eye shadow, blush, highlights and shadows!”

When Xu Jiao uttered a “no” word halfway out, her voice was swallowed in a vague manner. No one could see. A pale fingertip was boldly stuck on her lips, removing all the remaining unwilling content of her. Pressed back.

Xu Jiao expressionlessly increased the force between her teeth, biting the cold that penetrated, and the person behind her as if she hadn’t noticed it, she just squatted on her shoulder and laughed lowly, the laughter was faint, but it was meaningless. Joy and madness.

Qian Ai: “Huh?”

Zhou Qili was also a little at a loss: “What did you say?”

They only saw Xu Jiao open her mouth, and didn’t understand what she was about to say. Seeing that she stopped halfway through her words, they all showed puzzled expressions.

Although she knew that the two roommates could not see Zheng Zhiyu’s actions, she was teased in public like this in front of two acquaintances, and Xu Jiao still had a reluctant reddish color behind her ears, and then she nodded her head.

Zheng Zhiyu squeezed her ears and whispered to her: “Really good.”

After speaking, she disappeared. Xu Jiao was not given a chance to retaliate at all. When the two roommates watched her, Xu Jiao couldn’t face the air or get out the well-hidden tablet to vent her anger, so she could only play. She dropped her teeth and swallowed blood, and used her long-lost acting skills to show an expectant smile, and responded nonchalantly:

“I mean, okay, I want to give it a try.”

…

Makeup seems to have happened a few lifetimes ago.

Xu Jiao remembered that in the world of Feng Qingyu, she woke up early every day to go to the crew to put on makeup, change costumes and film. Now she feels as if she hasn’t been under the camera for a long time.

Spotlight, lens, manners, acting…

She looked in the mirror, holding the makeup brush in her hand, almost without any help from Qian Ai, she spread the foundation evenly on her face without a teacher. This foundation is very delicate and its own water content is not low. Xu Jiao has a good foundation, and her skin is not dehydrated, sensitive, etc., and she irons it very well after applying the foundation.

Qian Ai gave her the whitest color number. After applying the foundation makeup, Xu Jiao’s skin became transparent and white. She perfectly created the makeup that the foundation wanted to show. The color on the face was transparent and facial features. The exquisiteness is even more obvious.

She picked up the eyebrow pencil to make up the color of her eyebrows at will, and randomly picked the most common earth-colored eyeshadow palette. When the makeup was about to be completed, Qian Ai slowly said something next to her. :

“Xueba, why are you so skilled?”

“Don’t you never make up?”

Zhou Qili was looking forward to her makeup effects, but now she heard Qian Ai’s question, she suddenly reacted, supporting her face and echoing: “Yes, why are you so proficient? Ai Ai has a lot of cosmetics. I don’t even look at the name. I don’t know what it is, how can you tell it so clearly?”

Xu Jiao stopped her eyeshadow on the brush for a while, tapped the middle of the brush on her wrist, and dropped a layer of excess powder, slowly spreading in the air, and then dissipated like dust.

She casually said: “See if you have used it usually.”

Qian Ai: “???”

Qian Ai: “You mean you can see it just by watching it?”

Zhou Qili was also a little dazed: “Isn’t a student who has no ability to remember not to forget is not a good makeup artist?”

Xu Jiao left them to guess, she only put on a light make-up, and then she was more cold with the eyebrows in the mirror, but her facial features were a bit more gorgeous, even if she stood in the crowd, people couldn’t look away at a glance. On her face, she slightly adjusted the angle of her facing the mirror, which is the most suitable way for her to face the camera.

Zhou Qili, who had been waiting for the effect of her makeup to come out, picked up her mobile phone awkwardly and took a picture of her looking in the mirror at the moment. After a few seconds passed, the picture on the mobile phone popped out.

Although the light is insufficient, it does not detract from the beauty of the person in the photo.

Zhou Qili just wanted to show Xu Jiao the photos on her phone, but she stared at one of the parts suddenly.

On Xu Jiao’s shoulder, there was a very pale hand that didn’t look like an ordinary person.

Like the white joints.

Zhou Qili’s heartbeat suddenly missed. When Xu Jiao looked over, she barely smiled and said to her: “I…I just wanted to take a picture of you, but I didn’t take a good shot. I will delete it now.”

After that, she seemed to want to wash that memory from her mind. After unlocking the screen of the phone, she quickly pressed the delete button under the photo. When the phone was handed to Xu Jiao, the previous photo was already It’s gone.

Xu Jiao didn’t care much, and Qian Ai didn’t notice this detail either. She exaggerated the appearance of Xu Jiao’s makeup, and then took her two dear roommates to go out.

Zhou Qili felt guilty in her heart. She didn’t know how to face her mobile phone for the time being. She was afraid that she would see something that she shouldn’t look at, so she threw her mobile phone on the bed before going out.

Qian Ai carrying a shiny shoulder bag, holding Xu Jiao’s hand, looked back at her:

“Xiaoli, hey? Don’t you bring your cell phone?”

Zhou Qili smiled, and the curvature of her lips quickly disappeared: “Well, the phone is dead, let’s go, anyway, it won’t take long to eat a meal.”

On the contrary, Xu Jiao looked a little thoughtful when she saw that her face was not so good.

…

“Little Xu…”

In the restaurant, after ordering the meal, Qian Ai went to the bathroom. There were only Xu Jiao and Zhou Qili on the table. Thinking of the picture she saw when taking the photo, Zhou Qili hesitated for a long time and finally mustered up the courage. Open up.

Xu Jiao was looking down at the phone. On the surface, she was chatting with someone, but in fact she was communicating with Zheng Zhiyu by typing. The person was talking in her ear, and she tapped on the phone in response.

Just now Zheng Zhiyu went out with her, hiding in her shadow as usual, but when passing a street outside the school gate, she suddenly told Xu Jiao that she would leave for a while, until Xu Jiao and her roommate entered the restaurant. Seeing her back again, and talking to Xu Jiao in a very good tone:

There is a business nearby.

When she said that she wanted to introduce Xu Jiao to a part-time job, she hadn’t seen anything in the past few days, as if she had forgotten about it. Now she took the initiative to bring it up, and Xu Jiao simply took advantage of the trend and asked all aspects of the job. Avoid getting black eyes.

“Is it the part-time job you talked about last time? What exactly is it?”

After typing this sentence, Xu Jiao raised her head and glanced at Zhou Qili, showing a faint smile, and said slowly, “What’s the matter?”

Zhou Qili looked around, then she wanted to say: “Well…that is, have you encountered anything bad recently?”

She is mad at the ghost hand in the photo.

Xu Jiao’s expression didn’t change much, but she asked, “Why do you suddenly ask like this?”

Zhou Qili said haha, “Just curious about your daily life alone in the dormitory.”

Xu Jiao watched her expression, as if she had understood something, and soothed: “There is nothing bad, don’t worry about me.”

At the same time, she typed another sentence in the dialog box on the phone: “Did you do something to scare her when you put on makeup today?”

There are not too few people in the restaurant. The flavor of this restaurant is quite special. It cooks Northeastern cuisine, which is generous in portion, cheap, and the taste is guaranteed. Other students nearby or working parties will come over when they have time. It’s not that Xu Jiao and the others came early today, maybe they have to wait at the door.

There are so many people, Zheng Zhiyu is too lazy to show it, only hiding in Xu Jiao’s shadow, creating a cool breath near her shoulder, as if acting as an eye, looking at Xu Jiao’s screen.

Seeing a question added above, the dark shadow under her feet moved. After a long time, a familiar voice slipped into Xu Jiao’s ears: “I don’t know her, why should I scare her?”

“Jiaojiao, why do you always keep your eyes on these people?”

Xu Jiao pressed her lips when she heard the words that seemed to be coquettish and complaining, but did not answer. Zheng Zhiyu sighed quietly when she saw that she did not respond, and then answered:

“When she photographed you before, maybe… she accidentally photographed me.”

Hearing this well-formed answer, Xu Jiao had a clear heart. At that time, Zhou Qili nodded her head in disbelief, and told her: “Remember to bring the amulet I gave you.”

Xu Jiao smiled: “Okay.”

After talking these two sentences with her roommate, Xu Jiao suddenly sat up a lot—

Where no one can see.

She was poked in the itchy area of ​​her waist.

It’s a bit itchy, and a bit painful.

It’s a pity that she can’t fight the instigator now, so she can only sit there half tormented and chat about school affairs with Zhou Qili freely.

…

After Qian Ai came back, the dishes on the table slowly began to serve. In the center of the table was a large pot. The waiter first poured in the sauerkraut beef that had been marinated in advance, and then a flat, white one was pasted on the edge. Steamed buns, like making pot stickers, are finally covered with a thick pot made of a wooden board.

Only at the place of the vent, a wavy warmth came out, secretly leaking the scent that was steaming in it, and hooked the gluttons in the stomachs of the diners around the corner.

The three of them were sitting right next to the wall, next to the cold wall, Xu Jiao sat on one side, because the structure of the table is quite special, and it is a table with a pot to heat the vegetables, so there is no tablecloth on the table, just use I don’t know whether it is made of wood or iron, and it is square and suitable for dinner.

The table was hot and rising. Under the table, Xu Jiao’s calf, which was exposed in a blue floral skirt, slowly climbed up with a slight coolness.

Her throat moved, and by raising her hand to lift the cup, she concealed the words that leaked from her lips:

“Don’t make trouble.”

Xu Jiao whispered in a small voice.

Zheng Zhiyu seemed to be nonexistent, teasing herself, neither answering Xu Jiao’s words, nor looking at the warning words she had typed on her phone, but gently stroking her ankles and calves all the way up. past.

Xu Jiao was restless, as if countless ants were climbing up her legs. Her calves were pinched and pinched, kneaded and kneaded. In order to conceal her emotions, she drank three cold drinks.

Zhou Qili and Qian Ai both laughed at her: “Our dormitory finally came out to have a meal. How can you just drink water for Xueba?”

Xu Jiao’s lips moved, “A bit thirsty.”

After finally waiting for the lid to be uncovered, she hurriedly moved her chopsticks a few times, barely filling her belly two or three minutes full, and wanted to put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hands and go to the bathroom to have a good communication with a certain kid who had been joking.

However, as soon as the chopsticks in his hand were loosened, the coolness between her legs disappeared. The other party seemed to have taken her temper very accurately, knowing when to step on her tolerance limits to dance, and when to provoke her. So just accept it when you see it.

Xu Jiao didn’t put the chopsticks down, nor did he put it down, her eyes fell on the pot of fragrant sauerkraut and beef stir-fry vermicelli in front of her, and the light in her eyes was dying.

“Xiao Xu, don’t you tell me that you are full after eating just two times?”

The roommates were eating, and suddenly they saw Xu Jiao stopped moving her chopsticks for a long time, and turned her eyes around her, as if she wanted to know if she was making an excuse to secretly lose weight.

Xu Jiao’s fingertips tightened. After a while, she still couldn’t resist the temptation to eat meat. She picked up the water glass and drank some water, then continued to move the chopsticks:

“No, just slow it down.”

…

Big dishes, small skewers barbecue, frozen desserts, drinks…

After eating this meal, Qian Ai happily went to pay the bill. Zhou Qili felt her belly and figured out whether she could reduce the extra meat that grew on her body before the summer. Xu Jiao was worried about the business nearby Zheng Zhiyu said before the meal. This incident, after the checkout, went out with the two for a while, and suddenly said:

“I have something to do temporarily, you two should go back first.”

Qian Ai and Zhou Qili looked at each other arm in arm, and then Qian Ai asked gossiping: “Then are you coming back tonight?”

Zhou Qili looked at her without speaking.

Xu Jiao shook her head, “I don’t know for the time being. If it’s fast, I can go back tonight. If there is a temporary delay, I might not go back.”

Zhou Qili said: “Be careful about safety.”

Qian Ai added: “If you are dating someone, remember to bring it to us in the future.”

Xu Jiao smiled, nodded casually, and walked away from the two of them. Zheng Zhiyu, who was still in her shadow, reminded her in her ear as if she hadn’t done anything messing up just now. :

“The third one on the right, that hotel, room 808.”

Xu Jiao glanced to the side. There was no obvious emotional likes or dislikes in her eyes. She walked into the hotel as she said. This is a chain hotel, although the facade on the first floor is not as wide as a five-star and six-star hotel. , But the decoration is also done well, the young lady in uniform at the front desk smiled and asked her:

“Hello, is there an appointment?”

Xu Jiao followed what Zheng Zhiyu taught herself: “I’m looking for a friend in Room 808.”

The front desk was stunned for a second, then the whole person’s movements stopped for a while, and then compared to the side: “The elevator is on the left, you can go straight up.”

“Ding Dong.”

Xu Jiao’s figure was concealed by the closing of the elevator door.

In the staff lounge next to the front desk, a man opened the door and tied his tie as he walked. The sister who communicated with Xu Jiao laughed and said, “Is there a guest who wants to check in? Remember the previous rules.”

The uniform girl smiled, but when asked, his head was tilted: “Check in…”

There was a little confusion and doubt in her eyes, as if she was suspicious of her own memory, her voice paused for two seconds, she pressed the mouse on her hand, and checked the check-in record in the computer, and then said:

“I don’t seem to live here, I’m here to find friends.”

“Which floor?”

“……forget.”

“Forgot? Xiaoyan, can’t you do this? Did you forget what the boss said? The night shift has to cheer up, and if something like the previous one happens again, our shop will be over.” The voice behind inexplicably came. The lower.

The girl at the front desk touched her forehead and smiled apologetically: “I see, Brother Li, as I remember, the rooms on the eighth floor are not open to guests. The doors over there are closed, and the ones on the corridor The surveillance-vision is also off, no one will go.”

“Ok.”

…

upstairs.

Xu Jiao walked out of the elevator and saw a dark corridor in front of her with almost no light.

Coming out of the magnificent elevator, her shadow mixed with the real darkness. When she stepped into this black corridor, a bright red cloth appeared on her side and turned out. Yes, and the appearance of a pale woman without a trace of blood.

Xu Jiao took out the phone, turned on the flashlight function, and walked forward casually: “Can you tell me about the content of this part-time job now by the way?”

Zheng Zhiyu held her other hand that was not holding the phone, and her cold fingertips plunged into Xu Jiao’s fingers, and her voice rang out in the darkness: “It’s very simple.”

“Help some things with strong grievances, fulfill their wishes, in exchange for rewards.”

Xu Jiao let out a calm “um”, and squinted at her: “If I collect money… they won’t settle the money for me, will they?”

Zheng Zhiyu: “…”

She reluctantly uttered two words: “No.”

After finishing speaking, she and Xu Jiao just walked to the front of a room, and the golden house number glowed dimly under the reflection of the flashlight, with 808 on it.

Almost when the two of them walked to the door of the room, the door suddenly made the sound of a magnetic card swiping, and then voluntarily opened it inward, and the light also lit up in an instant, illuminating the strong darkness in the corridor.

as if……

Welcome them silently.

Xu Jiao walked inside and looked at the decorations and furnishings in the room. It was different from the horrible scene in the imagination. This was an ordinary hotel furnishing. The snow-white bed, the clean bathroom and the room were different from those dark Sensen’s horror films are not at all similar.

Before she could ask, Zheng Zhiyu seemed to know what she was thinking, and slowly reminded her behind her:

“You have to wait until you turn the clock to see it.”

Xu Jiao turned off the light in the phone and asked calmly, “Do you mean I want me to wait here until twelve o’clock?”

Zheng Zhiyu smiled and motioned to the bathroom next to him: “You can take a shower and sleep.”

Xu Jiao put her mobile phone in the hallway next to her at random, did not look at the suddenly closed door, just turned around to look at the woman in red behind her, and then slowly rolled up her sleeves:

“Just take a bath.”

“Let’s settle the account first.”
