I turned around and saw a white lion lying on the glass cabinet, licking its tongue.

I stood motionless on the spot. The lion slowly lowered its head. My heartbeat accelerated, and the arteries in my neck beat uncontrollably in unison with my chin. When the lion's beard touched my cheek, I felt

Life is hopeless, and scenes of this life are beginning to flash back before my eyes, but it lowers its head and sticks to me and just licks my clothes.

Maybe it’s the special clothes given by the monks, or maybe it’s a psychological suggestion, but I always feel like my skin is being rubbed with sandpaper.

Along with its licking, a chill rushed from the soles of my feet to the back of my head, and I had goosebumps from my feet to my head.

My whole body shook a few times unconsciously, and my eyes closed as they shook. A stream of hot air, accompanied by wet saliva, visited my chest when I closed my eyes, and I hurriedly opened my eyes.

There is nothing in front of you and nothing in your chest. How can there be any lion?

I pinched the bridge of my nose with lingering fear, and suddenly realized that my head no longer hurt.

I can't see any zoo area around here. I thought it was an elephant or a tiger based on the sound before, but now I see it, it's probably a lion.

I spent the whole morning in random thoughts, but I didn't think of any useful information by lunch time. But this time, I took the storage box back to the office building.

Unexpectedly, we happened to meet Situ Shan on the road, so we walked back to the office building together.

Situ Shan told me that if you move the box to the office building warehouse, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. It will naturally appear under your shelf.

When I asked her about the animals around her and whether there were any earrings in the kiosk, Situ Shan smiled and replied: "I can't see any animals around, but I am sure there is the sound of an elephant.

There is another one... It is similar to the sound of an elephant, but it is much deeper. I don’t know what kind of animal it is.” After saying that, she screamed, and after learning, she raised her eyebrows at me proudly.

How about it? Let’s learn from it.”

Just listening to her imitation, I really couldn't imagine what she was imitating. It was too far-fetched to say it was an elephant, so I could only smile at her.

Situ Shan was very carefree and didn't respond much to my smile. She just asked about the animals around me.

Not long after, Situ Shan and I sat down in the canteen and started eating. At this time, Qi Qing hugged the box and greeted me loudly and smiled from outside the door. After he put the box away, he came down and saw Situ Shan sitting there.

I faced her and said hello again with a smile.

This is the first time since I arrived here that an old employee other than Situ Shan has taken the initiative to talk to me with a smile, and that person is actually the same Qi Qing with the poker face from before!

Whether he was voting or reminding me softly, he always had a straight face. I didn't feel like he was among the crowd before, but now when I see him smiling, it's really uglier than crying.

An even stranger thing happened. Almost everyone who came in, everyone whose name I couldn't name, greeted me with a smile.

And most of them sit together in groups of twos and threes. Even if someone sits alone at first, after seeing everyone talking and laughing, they will pick up their food trays and sit down with them to laugh and laugh.

If I just look at their current performance, I would definitely think that they are old friends who have known each other for many years. They have only seen each other after being separated for many years. Today, they meet again after a long separation, sitting together to talk and talk to each other.

Seeing this unusual change, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Situ Shan, but she looked as usual, not surprised at all, so I asked her what was going on.

"This is an inevitable situation after the rules change, so don't worry too much."

Hearing this, I became even more confused. Just as I was about to ask for the specific reason, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. When I turned around, I saw Ji Feng smiling at me with a "kind" face.

I subconsciously ducked backwards and bumped into the table.

Seeing my reaction, he snorted disdainfully and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I just want to say hello to you."

I didn't know how to respond, so I could only smile and nodded towards Ji Feng.

Ji Feng pinched my shoulders, pointed at Situ Shan and said, "Why don't you introduce me to my brother?"

Before I could say anything, Situ Shan said first, "Situ Shan."

"Good name, good name." Ji Feng squeezed hard first, then patted my shoulder and said, "We have a long way to go."

As soon as Ji Feng finished his meal and sat down, people around him swarmed towards him, introducing themselves and explaining how to use the vending machine.

Seeing this scene, I just felt a tightness in my chest. I ate a few bites of the food in front of me and got up to leave.

Situ Shan also left with me, but she looked much more elegant. After I put the plate down, I saw that she was already wiping her mouth, unlike me who took two bites at the end.

When I walked out of the canteen, I stood at the door and looked at the lively scene inside, as if this was really an ordinary job.

When I left, I was thinking about how Ji Feng was better than me, and why I wasn't treated like this when I came here. After thinking for a long time, I couldn't figure it out, so I asked Situ Shan for help.

Situ Shan smiled: "They are so enthusiastic because of you."

"Ah? Because of me?"

"Didn't you notice? They are also very enthusiastic about you."

yes!

Almost everyone said hello to me at noon today, which has never happened before.

I asked tentatively: "What is the specific reason?"

"Because you were not fired today."

At this time, I suddenly discovered a question that I should have thought of, a question that I didn't think about today - why Cheng Xiaofan didn't come to the meeting.

I was not expelled in the morning, and I thought it was because of the plain robe I wore. But now it seems that there is a more direct reason why Cheng Xiaofan did not come to the meeting. A dead person cannot come to the meeting.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but slow down my pace and looked at Situ Shan walking forward alone with his hands behind his back. A guess suddenly appeared in my mind: it was Situ Shan who killed Cheng Xiaofan.

Suddenly, Situ Shan stopped moving forward, turned around and said to me with a smile: "Why are you standing there? Let's go!"

For some reason, Situ Shan's smile in my eyes was no longer sweet, but instead revealed an indescribable weirdness. I tried my best to control my expression, nodded quietly, and followed Situ Shan with a few big steps.

footsteps.
