Chapter 17 - Adverse consequences

Yan Nuoqi felt that talking to her mother was like facing an interrogation by a police. She indeed felt a little guilty, but she still had a few ways to deal with her mother.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Aunt Yan did not manage to get any answers to her question. As one gets older, the punctuality of the biological clock becomes even more important.

It was definitely close to ten o'clock.

"Mom, you're tired too. I still have work to do tomorrow, so go back to your room. Otherwise, my dad will have to keep the lights on to wait for you. "

Yan Nuoqi also stretched lazily, half-opening her eyes. Mother Yan saw that she really could not get anything out of him, so she exhorted him before returning to the house.

Watching his mother walk into the room, Yan Nuoqi finally relaxed and collapsed on the sofa. The marriage she envied the most was the marriage between her mother and father. Although they had been fighting for decades, their relationship remained the same.

It was just like now, when his father waited for his mother to fall asleep before resting. Even though his mother's night blindness was only mild, his father was still worried. Every night, he would turn on the bedside lamp.

He sighed and stood up from the sofa. He still did not know how he was going to pass tomorrow.

He dragged his tired body down onto his own bed, too lazy to change his clothes and wash up.

"Ding ling ling – Ding ling ling –"

The person lying on the bed frowned and impatiently stretched out her hand, her long white fingers randomly searching the bed.

Finally, under the pillow, she found the culprit that had disturbed her sweet dreams. Without even opening his eyes, he used his hand to press the button on the side of his phone, then slid it under the blanket.

Through the messy hair, Yan Nuoqi's eyebrows could be faintly seen.

After so many years of hard work, it was about time he fell asleep. It was as if she had grown on a bed. Now, whoever dared to touch her, she would be in a panic.

There was a time.

"Dong dong dong - Dong dong dong -"

The door was knocked. Yan Nuoqi threw her blanket down and covered her head. She had forgotten that her mother was a living alarm clock.

"Kiki, wake up. It's almost eight. If you don't get up, you'll be late for work. "

After he finished, there was another series of thumps.

Yan Nuoqi's body bounced up from the bed. She opened her eyes unwillingly, her hair scattered around.

"Mom, stop knocking, I'm already up."

He rubbed his head lazily.

Mother Yan was worried, so she said a few more words, "I'm so happy. You're already so big, but you still want me to call you."

He stretched his body painfully. If he had only taken off his clothes last night, he would have been fine. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so tired in the morning. Just as Yan Nuoqi wanted to move his head, he felt a cramp at the side of his neck. He covered his head with his hands. He must have slept on the bed last night.

The heavens were truly not prepared to treat him well. Grinning in pain, he softly opened the door and walked towards the washroom.

"What's wrong, Mom? I'm just a pillow. "

Yan Nuoqi looked at his mother who had just come out from the washroom and looked at him in surprise. It was as if the one standing in front of her was not her own daughter.

Doubtful, she stepped inside, and the moment she saw the mirror, her head jerked back instinctively, followed by a burst of numbing pain.

Tears were coming out of her eyes. She moved closer to the mirror. The costume on her face was already blurry and her eyes were blurry. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a panda. With his disheveled hair, he probably wouldn't even be willing to leave if the birds came.

He lowered his head stiffly, washed it briefly, put on some makeup, and rushed out the door.

At 8: 30 PM, Yan Nuoqi arrived at the elevator.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the elevator.

He pressed down on the 49th level and let out a long breath.

"Tap tap tap tap ~ ~"

Yan Nuoqi walked along the empty corridor. Thinking back to yesterday's incident, she really should have thanked that fellow Ouyang Jin. Even during the day, the open air was a little scary, let alone during the night.

Last night, if it wasn't for Ouyang Jin, he really wouldn't have dared to stay here alone. When she was about to reach the office, only after a few people walked past, did she feel a trace of humanity.

As she watched the other assistants struggling with their jobs, perhaps because she had been too hard on herself before, she felt a little ashamed of being late.

As she passed the door of Ouyang Jin's office, she turned her head slightly in an attempt to catch a glimpse of him. However, this slight movement caused another wave of pain to come from the right side of her neck.

It was truly a rainy night, yet at this moment, his neck was also going against him. The people who passed by her were all looking at her with a strange look. Yan Nuoqi also knew that it was as if his neck had been plastered with plaster.

However, the strangest thing was still to come.

When she walked to her seat, wanting to wait for Ouyang Ming to pick a fight, she was surprised to find out that everything was gone.

Except for the landline.

Kabuka eyes, are you dreaming?
