If the sky also falls

If the sky also falls

The next day, early morning.

It was just dawn outside the window when Chen Jing climbed out of bed.

He didn't sleep the whole night.

Fortunately, after transforming into an ancient descendant, his physical fitness was several times stronger than that of ordinary people, and he didn't feel anything special even after staying up several nights in a row.

At least I don't have to be like before, always worried that I will die suddenly at home and no one will collect my body.

After getting up, Chen Jing first went to take a hot bath.

When he came out wearing a yellow bathrobe with Pikachu printed on it and saw the mess in the living room, he just felt a headache...

"Did you sneak out last night?"

"..."

"What are you looking for when you rummage through the cabinets?" Chen Jing helplessly picked up the broom and started cleaning, then picked up an empty potato chip bag, "You're not looking for something to eat, are you?"

"..."

Seeing that Bai Aji was too guilty to speak out, Chen Jing knew the answer.

Forget it, don't blame it.

After all, we agreed yesterday to treat him to a barbecue, but all the barbecue ended up in Li Mobai's and his own stomachs.

"Remember to pick up the trash after eating in the future. Throw the trash can where it belongs. Don't throw it on the ground. Do you understand?"

"good!"

Hearing this crisp reply, Chen Jing felt like a mother for a moment.

How is this like raising a child?

Even though he hasn't found a partner yet, he's already living a life of raising a baby ahead of schedule... But fortunately, at least the child is quite obedient.

"Yes, that's the trash can. Throw all those messy things in there. Remember to close the lid after throwing out the trash!"

At this moment, the living room is like a quagmire.

There was black liquid like asphalt everywhere.

Chen Jing was sitting cross-legged on the beanbag, teaching Bai Aji how to throw away garbage with his paws, while slowly chewing a popsicle.

Although those animal claws emerging from the black water look very strange, it is undeniable that... this guy learns things really fast!

It was almost time for Chen Jing to start thinking about how to teach it to wash, cook and take care of the housework.

With Bai Aji's help, the messy rental house looked brand new in just half an hour.

Even under the "erosion" of those asphalt-like liquids, the floor was as bright as a mirror and not even a speck of dust could be seen.

Chen Jing gave Bai Aji a thumbs up with satisfaction and did not hesitate to praise him.

"Good boy, you're so good!"

When children do well, parents have to praise them. After all, cultivating children's enthusiasm for doing housework must start with praise...

It wasn't until he was too embarrassed to praise Aji that he started to walk around the house while talking on the phone.

He wanted to take stock of what luggage he needed to take with him. After all, he would be moving to Sentinel Ridge soon...

"Yes, Brother Zhao, I don't want this half month's salary. My sudden resignation will also have an impact on you... Okay, I'll be here in a minute."

hang up the phone.

Chen Jing immediately started packing his luggage.

In fact, there are not many things that need to be taken away, except for electronic products, there are no big items.

The furniture in the house basically belonged to the landlord. As for the beanbag and other miscellaneous things he bought later, he had no intention of taking them away.

The landlord is an old aunt.

When she first came to rent a house, she waived the deposit for Chen Jing because of his "beautiful" appearance. So now she suddenly quits the rent and wants to move out, which makes Chen Jing feel a little embarrassed...

But fortunately, he has already paid next month's rent in advance, and the remaining rent will be regarded as compensation, and for a small, well-decorated apartment like this in a downtown area, he should not have to worry about the customer base.

"Oh, Xiao Chen, do you think the rent is too high?" The landlord's aunt on the other side of the phone was still trying to persuade her with a very sincere tone, "If you think the rent is not suitable, aunt can come to talk to you!

"

"Aunt Zhang, it's mainly because I still have things to do back home... When I come back from work, if I still have a chance, I will definitely rent your house again!"

"Are you leaving tomorrow? How about two days later?" The landlady on the other end of the phone was extremely enthusiastic. "Auntie will cook you a meal?"

"No, Auntie, I appreciate your kindness. The main reason is that we have agreed over there that we must go back tomorrow..."

Chen Jing was somewhat afraid of this old aunt who would come to greet her every now and then.

"Aunt Zhang! I have cleaned the house! When I leave tomorrow, I will put the key on the fire cabinet outside! Remember to pick it up!"

Before the landlord could say anything else, Chen Jing said hurriedly.

"Thank you for taking care of me, auntie. I hung up the phone when you called me! I will contact you when I have a chance in the future!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

The luggage has been packed by him and placed at the entrance.

What he has to do now is to seize the time to go out and go to the company to complete the resignation procedures.

Although the company is not far from where he lives, it takes time to go through the resignation procedures, and he dare not delay...

Wait until Chen Jing returns to the rental house again.

It's already evening.

As soon as he entered the community, he saw Li Mobai standing downstairs smoking.

"I thought you were going to let me go!" Li Mobai ran over the moment he saw Chen Jing, still complaining, "Didn't I tell you to stop running around!"

"I have something to do before I go out."

"Where have you gone?"

"Go through the resignation procedures." Chen Jing held a cup of milk tea in his hand and drank it slowly with a straw in his mouth, "I plan to go back to Sentinel Ridge to live for a while."

Hearing this, Li Mobai seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment.

Although this change in micro-expression was almost fleeting, Chen Jing could see it clearly.

"Why do you suddenly think of going back?" Li Mobai asked calmly, his worried look was not fake, "Did something happen at home?"

"Well, my grandfather is missing." Chen Jing sucked a pearl through a straw and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

"Your grandfather disappeared?! When did it happen?!"

"Yesterday, or maybe the day before yesterday..."

Chen Jing said without changing his expression, repeating the same words he used to deal with the police.

he said as he spoke.

While observing the expression on Li Mobai's face.

"The old man called me that day and said he was not feeling well, so I hurriedly asked for leave and rushed back to see..."

Chen Jing sighed and put on a sad expression.

"You also know that the mountain road near my home is not easy to walk. In addition, I had a bit of heatstroke that day, so I walked relatively slowly. As a result, it started raining heavily before I got home, so I had to find a place to take shelter from the rain at night...

"

Li Mobai listened very carefully, and he didn't know why he was serious.

"When the rain stopped, I went home and saw that my house had been robbed. It had been turned into a mess and the old man was missing..."

"Did you call the police?" Li Mobai asked.

Chen Dingding nodded, his expression becoming increasingly helpless.

"Of course I called the police. They asked me to wait for news first. They are still investigating, but I want to go back and take a look. Maybe I can find some clues..."

"When are you leaving?" Li Mobai frowned.

"Tomorrow."

Chen Jing yawned. He was cleaning and going through resignation procedures. He was a little tired after a busy day.

"Didn't I promise to accompany you to the class reunion? I just have a good meal tonight and will be on the road early tomorrow morning."

"Why do your words sound so unlucky..."

Li Mobai looked at Chen Jing helplessly, feeling that this boy's temper had not changed. After all these years, he could still make people mad to death with just a few words.

"Why don't I send you to Sentinel Ridge now? I'll accompany you. Otherwise, I won't worry about letting you go back alone."
