After finishing the transcript at the police station, it was already 3 am. The police station doesn't keep unnecessary people, and they were about to help me contact a community hostel, but I couldn't bear the thought of taking all my belongings to a questionable environment after the recent tragic experience. Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and spent a lot of money to indulge in a night at a five-star hotel.
At this moment, there was not a single soul on the street, and the streetlights cast a dim light, with shadows as eerie as ghosts. The cold wind blew, stirring up clouds of dust. I took a deep breath, my nose stinging from the wind, and I had completely resigned myself to the experiences of the past few days, to the point of feeling like laughing.
Ever since I suddenly gained the ability to read minds, one stroke of bad luck after another has found me, and I've never had such a miserable time in over twenty years. Perhaps, with gain comes loss... not everyone can possess the ability to read minds, and maybe all the recent events are the price to pay! After enduring this period, perhaps good luck is about to come my way?
I constantly comfort myself in my heart, and inexplicably feel that the events of the past few days have turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
After all, there's no obstacle that can't be overcome! Tonight, I'll go to a fancy hotel, have a spa, and tomorrow I'll be a strong man... or a strong woman!
I lifted my luggage and was about to head to the next destination. Suddenly, I heard the honking of a small car behind me. I turned around and saw a familiar figure. I couldn't help but burst into tears and ran towards her, leaving my luggage behind like an abandoned child, all alone in its place.
Bestie Xu Qiu leaned against the car door with a confident air, casually tossing her car keys with a raised eyebrow as she teased, "What are you muttering to yourself standing there alone? I've been watching you for a while now, and I want to see when you'll finally notice me." I grabbed Xu Qiu and wiped my tears and snot on her. "Waaah... you have no idea, I was so scared tonight, you almost didn't get to see me!" Xu Qiu made a disgusted face but gently patted my back with both hands. By the time I realized it, the car had already arrived at Xu Qiu's residential building.
"Ah! Your home is still so comfortable." I confidently entered the door code and immediately flung off my shoes, then flopped onto the large sofa in the living room. Xu Qiu shook her head helplessly, put my shoes away in the cabinet, and then carried my luggage into the house one by one. After that, she went to the kitchen and brought out homemade cookies and milk tea, placing them neatly in front of me before lying down next to me.
"Wuwuwu, my home is still the best," I clung to her like a slippery loach, feeling like I had the whole world with Xu Qiu by my side!
She reached out her long arm and her boyfriend-like strength single-handedly pulled me close, "Now you know how good I am, right? I don't know who it was, didn't listen to my advice at first, and jumped into the pit. It took a lot of effort to pull you back!" She was so fierce that it made my teeth itch, and I felt very guilty.
When it comes to Lin Haoming, that scumbag, I was like I had been injected with chicken blood, vividly recounting his evil deeds to Xu Qiu. She listened attentively, raising her eyebrows while sipping her milk tea, completely absorbed in the soap opera-like misfortunes I described.
"Wait!" When I accidentally blurted out that I had the ability to read minds, Xu Qiu sat up straight, staring at me with her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment. "You said you can read minds."
I inwardly cursed myself for speaking too freely and accidentally revealing this secret. But then I remembered that she was my best friend of over twenty years, as close as can be, so I reluctantly nodded in acceptance.
Xu Qiu The milk tea in her mouth hadn't been swallowed yet, and she almost sprayed it out like a goddess scattering flowers when she saw me nod. "Hahaha..." she burst into a pig-like laughter, leaving me speechless. "You must have been under too much stress these days, and gone crazy, hahaha..."
Seeing her laughing uncontrollably, I helplessly straightened her body and earnestly looked into her eyes, saying, "I'm serious, let's give it a try."
Xu Qiu put away her smile and also looked into my eyes seriously, "Tell me, what am I thinking right now."
"You're thinking, Loruluna must be crazy." I repeated her thoughts verbatim. Xu Qiu looked incredulous.
"Go on! What am I thinking now?"
"You're thinking, what is Loruluna's bank password." I accurately restated, then added, "Of course, I'm not going to tell you."
"Hey, I don't believe in this superstition, let's continue!"
After a few back and forths, Xu Qiu collapsed to the side, completely believing this absurd fact.
I silently chewed on a cookie, worried that Xu Qiu might think I'm a monster and distance herself from me. After a few seconds of silence, Xu Qiu did a carp turn and joked in front of me, "So can you know everyone's bank card password? We're going to get rich!"
I just knew that Xu Qiu's thought process is different from normal people, no wonder we can get along so well! Despite my helplessness, I also feel somewhat fortunate that she is the second person in the world to know about my mind-reading ability. Sometimes, I even doubt if I am a monster myself, but she openly feels happy for me.
"After hearing all these stories, I'm glad you have mind-reading ability. Otherwise, you might not have lived through tonight. Even if you escaped from that murderer, you couldn't hide from the cunning mind of Lin Haoming," Xu Qiu patted her chest, feeling a sense of post-disaster luck.
"Why have you been silent for so long? Does the cost of mind-reading make you intermittently mute?" Xu Qiu reached out and patted my shoulder. I lowered my head and asked the question I had been worried about for a long time, "Do you... do you think I'm a monster?"
Xu Qiu widened her eyes and said, "How can you be a monster? Being able to hear what others are thinking is such a rare skill!" Then, she pushed me away disdainfully and said, "Stop whining here. I also want to have the ability to read minds! How about you share it with me?"
The dark clouds over my head were dispersed by her push, and I stuffed the cookie in my hand into Xu Qiu's mouth, trying to shut her up from screaming, "You wish!"
The room was warm with the heating on, just like my warm heart at that moment.
