Chapter 408 - 408 Something Soaked in Formalin…

408 Something Soaked in Formalin…

Su Ji hung up and went back to bed. Then, she searched for Xiao Lingxian.

Then, she realized that this woman had a complicated background.

She clicked on a few news articles that mentioned her mental illness but the web page had been deleted.

Perhaps it was because she captured the hearts of many people in that era, so there were indeed many people talking about it. All the strange things that happened to her made her very mysterious, even though it had been a long time.

There was only a grainy photo of her that was circulating on the Internet. In the photo, she had a cla.s.sic perm of that era. Her willow-shaped eyebrows were thin and curved, and her red lips were soft and tender.

She was indeed beautiful in all kinds of ways.

When Su Ji exited the browser page, she accidentally switched back to the auction page.

She remembered that Bian Tong had written some traditional Chinese characters that were very beautiful.

She wanted to admire it, but she realized that the works he posted on the website were all written in ancient script styles.

When w.a.n.g Yi returned to the house, it was already 4:30 in the morning. The sky was faintly blue. It was very quiet. The early birds were chirping on the branches.

The car engine was turned off. w.a.n.g Yi took off his gla.s.ses, and rubbed his eyebrows.

His mind was filled with thoughts of what had happened today, but there were still too few clues.

After a while, he picked up his gla.s.ses and put them back on. He picked up the thick stack of doc.u.ments on the pa.s.senger seat, opened the car door, and entered the house.

Unexpectedly, he b.u.mped into Xiao Ken at the elevator, who had two big dark circles under his eyes. He had just come out of the soundproof room on the first floor and was about to go upstairs to catch up on his sleep.

It was still dark in the house, and the two men silently greeted each other in front of the elevator.

Xiao Ken looked much more haggard than w.a.n.g Yi. He smelled of alcohol, but it wasn’t very strong. He was also holding an empty beer can in his hand.

Although the temperature had risen in the past two days, it was still quite cold in the early hours of the morning. However, Xiao Ken was wearing a sleeveless tank top, jeans, a baseball cap, and headphones around his neck.

He didn’t look very happy.

“Did you play drums last night?” The elevator arrived. When they entered the elevator, w.a.n.g Yi spoke first.

After Xiao Ken went in, he turned around and faced the elevator door. “No, I wrote a song.”

No matter how good the soundproofing of the soundproof room was, he would not dare to play drums in the middle of the night when everyone else was asleep.

He wrote a song.

It was said that people who were heartbroken were good at writing songs. The more miserable the song, the easier it was to become popular.

He didn’t believe it and wanted to give it a try.

He had just uploaded the demo to the Internet with a few simple words.

When he returned to his room later, he planned to catch up on his sleep. If the song did not get any traction when he woke up, it meant that he was not miserable, or…he still had a chance?

w.a.n.g Yi nodded perfunctorily. “Rest early.”

A few hours later, the bright morning sun shone on the earth. w.a.n.g Yi slept for a few hours. He woke up with the others who needed to get up early and went to the research inst.i.tute as usual. He did not start late just because he had worked overtime last night.

Xiao Ken slept all the way until noon. When he woke up, the song he posted in the early morning was trending.

[ “The rapper can sing love songs so well!” ]

[ “Please release the full version of this song!” ]

[ “I felt emo listening to it in the middle of the night.” ]

Xiao Ken didn’t get the feeling that there was still hope.

His unfinished demo had exploded overnight!

This time, Xiao Ken was completely depressed.

In the evening, the guests returned to the house. Xiao Ken volunteered to cook and heal himself with delicious food. Ji Xi also made the egg fried rice that everyone loved last time.

Ever since they a.s.signed cleaning duties, everyone followed the cleaning schedule. However, when it came to cooking, they still ordered food most of the time. When they were free, people who were pa.s.sionate about cooking like Xiao Ken and Lu Shang would take turns to cook. Li Shuguo and Jiang Cuiqin would also cook for the others sometimes. Jiang Cuiqin’s cooking was perfect for the ladies..

It was very exquisite. If one didn’t chew it 20 to 30 times, one would not feel like they ate anything.

When everyone was busy, Casar’s servants would also help.

Su Ji sometimes volunteered to help and everyone said that it was enough for her to have the intention.

In general, the task of cooking was not too difficult. Mainly because the female celebrities ate very little at night. Su Ji glanced at the food at every meal. If there was nothing she liked, she would simply not eat. She did not feel hungry either, as if she was about to become an immortal.

However, at times like this, she would usually receive a phone call from Mrs. Xu Mingzhi at night. She was also curious about how her mother could see which meal she had not eaten when she was so busy with work every day.

Later, when she chatted with Pei Xi, Su Ji found out that Pei Huai had been talking to Madam Xu on the phone recently.

Tonight’s dinner was lively. There was Ji Xi’s egg fried rice and Xiao Ken’s Western food. It was rare for everyone to eat together. Nan Miaomiao herself craved Ji Xi’s Yangzhou Fried Rice, but she made Su Ji eat it too. She could not gain weight alone. (PS: Recently, her face has become more natural. She can smile and frown now.)

Su Ji glanced at the food and decided to give her face.

Of course, in the eyes of the netizens, the two of them were like best friends who were unwilling to be separated even when they were eating.

Jiang Cuiqin sat down and looked at everyone “We’re just missing Dr. w.a.n.g. Can someone go up and call him?”

Lu Shang wanted to get up, but Su Ji, who had just washed her hands and came out of the bathroom, said she would go.

Xiao Ken placed a plate of freshly grilled steak on the table. “Are you sure?”

After all, it was a man’s room. It wouldn’t be nice to get a girl to go.

However, Su Ji had already entered the elevator. She said nonchalantly, “it’s fine.”

Casar glanced at Xiao Ken as if he was watching a show.

Xiao Ken noticed his expression and immediately took the steak away. “Get your servant to make it for you.”

Casar looked at the plate that had disappeared in front of him and was not angry. He snapped his fingers and said, “Orphie, one steak, medium well. ”

Orphie was the name of his servant.

[ “Is it really okay for Xiao Ken to offend the crown prince like this?” ]

[ “Young man, don’t burn your bridges!” ]

[ “It’s another day of me feeling envious of Orphie!” ]

At this moment, Su Ji had already walked to w.a.n.g Yi’s room. She knocked on the door twice.

“Come in.”

Su Ji opened the door. w.a.n.g Yi was sitting in front of the workbench, studying his bottles of formalin.

He did not attempt to hide anything.

This was Su Ji’s first time entering w.a.n.g Yi’s room, and her attention immediately fell on the things soaked in the gla.s.s bottles.
