The pendulum clock on the wall rang twice...... Maybe it's because of the age, and it's dull when it's chiseled into the eardrum, and I can't hear the crisp feeling at all.

Chen Ge closed his eyes and counted a full six.

She stepped lightly on the bed, sat at the end of the bed with her hands propped up, stepped into a pair of light blue cotton slippers barefoot, her eyes fell on the ground, and she saw the other pair of solitary ones neatly placed, and the look in her eyes dimmed.

Gu Fanghuai was not there, but she still got up at six o'clock according to her previous habits, washed up, bought breakfast, and then came back to sort out the necessities and books, and go to school.

Chen Ge turned off the rabbit-shaped night light, and turned on the sensor light in the dark, and the room suddenly lit up, and the light was a little dazzling.

In front of the oval long mirror in the bathroom, Chen Ge pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the smiling face of the girl in the mirror was inexplicably a little bitter.

Chen Ge sighed, pulled on his slippers, wrapped himself in a light beige tweed coat on the coat rack, put the key ring in his coat pocket, and went out.

This is the family home in the old city, the facilities are old, she lives on the fourth floor, the lights on the third and fourth floors are broken, people come and go have complained, but no one repairs. When Jiang came over at night, he made several calls to the property, but the other party was also perfunctory, and the girl was so angry that she scolded the sky.

Thinking of his best friend Jiang Wan, Chen Ge smiled dumbly. It's the middle of November, and it's getting late and the smog is heavy.

When she walked to the second floor, her eyes had completely adapted to the darkness, and she didn't make a sound to turn on the sensor light, and went straight down to the first floor, and when she arrived at the door of the unit building, Chen Ge heard a rustling sound.

At the entrance of the building, a figure was drawn in the blue-white mist, and the shadow fell to the ground, which happened to be the word 'person'. If you look closely, although the handpiece of the herringbone is short, it has a bit of a strong taste.

Chen Ge paused and counted silently for five seconds, but the shadow seemed to be burned on the ground at the entrance of the building, not moving at all.

She hesitated to walk to the entrance of the building, the street lamp came down from the tiles on the first floor, mixed with a little mist, Chen Ge rubbed his eyes, and dared to be sure that the so-called 'human' word was just a cat curled up at the man's feet.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then furrowed her brow.

It's late autumn, and the sun hasn't come out yet.

Standing against the wall was a tall and thin young man, who squatted down, and with an almost rude and brutal movement, he even grabbed the cat with his neck, "How many times have you escape......d?

As if aware of someone, the man threw the cat up with his left hand, and with a slick of his left arm, he leaned to the side and made way for her.

Chen Ge's slender eyes lifted, lowered his head to the left, and walked over.

She walked a few steps out of the door of the unit, and finally made up her mind to turn around, and said politely with her head bowed: "This gentleman, 'from a person's attitude towards animals, we can get a glimpse of his kindness'." ”

Immanuel Kant would not have imagined that more than 200 years after he went to heaven, there would be a Chinese lady who would use his famous words to explain her lenient behavior. ”

The man raised his face, his eyebrows raised consciously, and the hood of the street lamp on one side came down, and the man's whole face was unusually pale, but the eyes embedded in it were beautifully piercing.

The thumb knuckle of his right hand pressed against the mouth of a dark green wine bottle, and there was a small half bottle left in it.

When the wind blew for a while, Chen Ge shivered, her windbreaker was only wrapped in a nightdress, and her two calves swayed under the skirt, Chen Ge couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The young man coughed, his hoarse voice a few degrees clearer, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

He smiled and drank the rest of the wine in the bottle, his pale face came alive, and the liquid soaked the stubble of the young man's chin along the mouth of the bottle. He wiped the back of his hand twice and rubbed it on the cat. The dirty Persian cat was ravaged, I don't know if it was an illusion, Chen Ge seemed to see the cat in the young man's arms raise his head sadly, whimpered, and had to shrink under duress.

He is not a good pet keeper, Chen Ge sighed in his heart.

But the young man bowed his head and said to the cat, "What?

After Fang said this, the cat in his arms seemed to have received an amnesty order, and jumped out and fell to the ground one by one, but he didn't run around, he leaned straight on Chen Ge's light blue cotton slippers, collected his tail, and refused to move again.

The man snorted, sneered when he looked at Chen Ge, and slapped the unwarranted cat hair on the cuffs of his windbreaker a few times with the empty wine bottle.

"Girl, this little thing has sharp claws, are you sure you want to raise it?"

Strange, Chen Ge always felt that when the man said the last few words, his eyes fell to the ground without a trace, at Chen Ge's feet. Chen Ge was in a trance for a moment, feeling as if he was asking for the cat's opinion. When she looked down, the cat was pulling at her feet, and she would never let go of the porcelain posture that she should not let go.

She hasn't said that she wants to raise them, and besides, Gu Fanghuai doesn't like these the most, always saying that they are 'long-haired animals'. Chen Ge was about to open his mouth to refuse, but the cat under her feet rubbed her ankle with his head, again and again, his eyes were innocent and misty, Chen Ge couldn't stand the cat's pitiful appearance, and nodded at the young man.

The young man stared at her with those beautiful eyes, as if he had only now taken a thorough look at her. After an almost stern scrutiny, the young man smiled and threw the wine bottle to the trash can not far away, the dark green wine bottle slid through a rounded parabola in the early morning mist, and the young man immediately muttered nonchalantly: "I like to send you." ”

He walked to the northeast alley with his hands behind his back.

Only then did Chen Ge notice that the young man's empty hand was very good-looking, the tendons were muscles and bones, but there was no crescent moon on the nail cover.

At this time, the cat in his arms "whined", Chen Ge lowered his head to comfort, and when he raised his eyes again, there was no longer the figure of the young man.

There was no class in the afternoon, and Chen Ge came back early.

After turning over more than 30 pages of a Xinhua dictionary, the mobile phone on the cypress cabinet at the bedside rang, was it him? Chen Ge hesitated and trotted over.

Pick up the mobile phone, the caller ID is a landline number that starts with 0, and the number commonly used in marketing and promotion starts with it.

Her mood dropped suddenly, but she didn't hang up, put the phone back and listened to the ringtone. It wasn't until half a minute had passed, when the bell had stopped and the screen had turned off, that she sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, it wasn't him calling......

"Meow", accompanied by the sound of a cat meowing and the sound of paws knocking on the balcony door, successfully brought Chen Ge back to his senses.

The memory of the morning came flooding back to her mind, as if she had gotten a cat from an alcoholic. Chen Ge opened the balcony door apologetically, the cat was sick, Chen Ge said several 'sorry' in a row, wiped his hands with the cloth towel on the hook on the side, and then picked it up.

She was completely redundant, because the cat's fur was dirty, and it was even more black and sticky in several places, and she couldn't tell the original color at all.

"You must be hungry, right?" Chen Ge asked, put it next to the coffee table in the living room, went to the refrigerator in the kitchen to find half a bag of ham sausage, carefully chopped the ham with a knife, found a small bowl that usually pounded garlic, and served it with the ham slices.

As soon as she placed the bowl of ham on the ground, the cat pounced on it, so great that it almost overturned the bowl, apparently hungry. Chen Ge squatted down half-bent legs, and saw that it was full and had a round belly, so he smiled and carried it to the bathroom. To her surprise, ordinary cats are afraid of water, but this one enjoys it very much. Clear water out of hibiscus. Chen Ge hugged the cat after bathing and exclaimed, "Now it looks like a house cat." ”

The cat was a pure white Persian cat, and its originally misty eyes were looking at her without blinking, revealing a faint blue color in the light of the bathroom.

I didn't pay attention in the morning, Chen Ge was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "It's beautiful." ”

She used a hair dryer to dry the cat's fur, and the cat did not hide, lying comfortably on the sink and enjoying the state-guest service.

It was late at night, and a man and a cat were reading a book under the lamp.

Chen Ge found that the cat was quiet most of the time, and might be able to persuade Gu Fanghuai to keep it.

She made up her mind in her heart, and heard the phone ring again, and the cat at her feet rubbed against her, as if motioning for her to pick it up.

Chen Ge took the mobile phone, saw the caller ID, the corners of his mouth raised, the thumb of his right hand slid to the green answer button, and he called softly, "Evening." ”

"Are you arguing at night, do you come to my school? The voice on the other end of the phone was an octave high, for fear she wouldn't hear.

"It's eleven o'clock. Chen Ge glanced up at the wall clock on the wall.

Jiang Wan on the other end of the phone heard her concise refusal, and said with hatred: "Oh, the nightlife has just begun, and you two are not married yet, you are so gentle and frugal, and he will not be able to eat you when you get married in the future?"

Chen Ge pursed the corners of his mouth and didn't speak.

Yes, in the summer vacation of her sophomore year, she had already met Gu Fanghuai's parents. Everyone around them thought that they would get married naturally after graduation. However, things eventually came to an embarrassing point......

Xu was aware of her depression, and Jiang Wan on the other end of the phone gritted her teeth and said, "Hey, did that kid bully you?"

Chen Ge shook her head with a smile, this girl can always make her disarm and surrender.

"No, I'll go now. ”

"Then take a taxi, stay safe, big beauty. In the mobile phone, the other party smashed his mouth, and seemed to recall Chen Ge's usual explanation to himself in the past, and said: "Send me the license plate number after getting in the car, call when you get here, and I'll go downstairs to pick you up." ”

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the stairwell on the fourth floor was completely dark, Chen Ge turned on the light on the back of his mobile phone, and carefully went down the stairs.

The pedestrian crossings were wide, the lights were flickering, and it was only eleven o'clock in the evening, and there was no reason for the city to be silent.

Chen Ge stood on the side of the street waiting for the empty car to be rented, and half a minute later, a car carrying people stopped, and the driver was far away when he saw her reaching out to stop the car. If you stop at this time, you can make more money by the way.

Seeing that there was already someone in the car, Chen Ge hesitated for a moment and walked to the window on the right, but his eyes subconsciously swept over the windshield in front of the car, and he paused before he could throw his eyes away.

Across the street is a man and a woman, hugging and kissing as a couple.

And the man entangled in it is also her boyfriend - Gu Fanghuai.

How could it be impossible to be sure? Even a silhouette, the standing posture of the man, the light gray down around his neck, and the half of his face unconsciously turned sideways to this side, all reveal this fact. She couldn't fool herself.

Chen Ge's hands trembled a little, she clenched her fingers and unconsciously put them into her coat pocket, and then she didn't stop for two seconds and shivered and pulled her fingers out, lifting and falling.

"Can't you get on the bus?" there were still guests in the car, and the driver was a little impatient and louder.

Chen Ge bowed his head, and there seemed to be some light under his eyes, but the light was also like a layer of glass, which made people not see clearly, and when he lowered his eyes, he seemed to be deeply lonely.

"Nope. She said. The tone is still soft, not offensive in any way.

The driver was stunned, he seemed to have seen the girl's momentary embarrassment just now.

Seeing the car drive away, Chen Gecai was a little hasty to prop up the telephone pole on the side, and turned his back against the cement pillar.

People say that the seven-year itch is the itch, they have gone through three years of high school and four years of college, and they should be tired of it.

"The necks are crossed, and the ears and temples are grinding. She muttered, and always said that she was a very poetic woman, and if she was born before the Republic of China, she would have been a famous female poet.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and now with this scene, it was very ironic. In this scene, she can even come up with some charming rhetoric to ink this splitting scene.

There are thousands of reasons why men don't go home to cope, today can be a class reunion, tomorrow is a company business trip, no matter how bad it is, it is overtime, there is always a very appropriate reason.

But she was still uncontrollably sad, Chen Ge covered her face with her palms, trying to support her body, but she still stumbled under her feet. She stood for a while, felt a terrible pain in her foot, bent down, untied her heels, chose the opposite direction, and walked aimlessly down the street barefoot.

She remembered that after the college entrance examination, she came to this city with her best friend Jiang Wan, and her reason seemed to be one more than later, because Gu Fanghuai was also in Huachen City.

The memory has never been as clear as it is now, the night she came to Huachen City, everyone had a party together, and when dinner came out, her foot twisted, and it was Gu Fanghuai who walked with her back for more than two hours.

Chen Ge's stomach began to burn, and his liver and spleen hurt together. He is two years older than himself, when Gu Fanghuai was in his third year of high school, she was a freshman in high school, Gu Fanghuai worked for two years, and she was a senior. At the beginning of the third year that Gu Fanghuai came to Huachen City, she also came to the city.

Obviously, everyone thinks that they can go to Baitou together, but how can they ...... We've come to this point.

There are few people who stay in school in the senior year, and even if there are, they are licking the house by working in the same city and the dormitory is cheaper. At half past four in the afternoon, Jiang Wan took out her mobile phone, clicked on the WeChat contact without giving up, and glanced at the familiar avatar.

The red signs to receive messages are one after another, but there is no one for Chen Ge.

Last night, Chen Ge just sent a text message that she couldn't come when she was tired, and when Jiang Wan called the phone, Chen Ge had already turned off the phone.

Chen Ge feels shallow, and it is common to be silent and shut down at night. But it's half an afternoon the next day, and I can't say anything without a message.

Jiang Wan took the textbooks back with her bed, rushed straight to the school gate, stopped the car, reported the address, and went to Chen Ge's residence.

On the co-pilot, Jiang Wan took out the key ring in her pocket, and there were three keys with similar styles hanging on it, some of them were in her own bedroom, some were from her own door, and Chen Ge was there, she also had the key. At the beginning, Chen Ge was equipped with three keys, one for her and one for Gu Fanghuai.

Although there is a key, to be honest, Jiang Wan rarely goes to Chen Ge's place, and the two of them meet outside most of the time. After all, as long as her head is not boiled, she will not rush to make a light bulb that is several times high.

Running up to the fourth floor in a hurry, Jiang Wan rubbed her face, and made an 'expressionless' expression on the black screen of the mobile phone, and then knocked on the door.

It was Gu Fanghuai who opened the door, and raised his eyebrows when he saw her coming, "Please come in." The man made an inviting gesture.

"You're very polite this time. Jiang Wan is not salty or light. She didn't think much about it, in the past, Gu Fanghuai and her saw each other, and they could fight all the time.

She entered the door with her pockets in her pockets and saw Chen Ge concentrating on reading on the sofa.

Seeing someone coming in, Chen Ge raised his head and put the book aside, seemingly surprised, "Wanwan, why are you here?"

"The more I thought about it yesterday, the more wrong it became, I couldn't say anything about it by sending a WeChat message, you never fooled me before. Jiang Wan had a straight face, but she had never been able to fight with people for five minutes, and the next second she said with a hippie smile: "Buddha jumped over the wall to make amends." ”

Chen Ge pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Okay." He patted the side of the couch with his hand and motioned for her to sit down with him.

"The sea cucumbers and abalone fish that Buddha jumped over the wall are too expensive, so you can use black chicken instead. Gu Fanghuai closed the door and walked into the living room.

"Xiao Gu, Xiao Gu, my song hasn't said anything yet, you will really save money. Jiang Wan shook his head and said earnestly.

Gu Fanghuai didn't say anything, of course, the Buddha jumped over the wall and finally gave up.

It's just that today Gu Fanghuai cooked for the first time and made four dishes and one soup.

When setting the plate, Chen Ge said that she had picked up a cat, and she deliberately did not mention the drunken young man, for fear that Jiang Wan would be worried.

The three of them were seated.

"Stir-fried broccoli, you taste it. Gu Fanghuai picked up a broccoli and put it in Chen Ge's bowl. Chen Ge also picked up a piece of celery and put it in Gu Fanghuai's bowl.

The picture is warm and harmonious, but Jiang Wan is bitter, and a handful of dog food is stuffed over, and it really doesn't take care of it.

Jiang Wan swallowed a piece of potato and almost choked himself to death.

Chen Ge handed over a glass of water, she took it and waved her hand, and swallowed a big mouthful of water in grief and indignation. His throat was clear, and he hurriedly stuffed his rice, chewing rice grains on one wall, and asked vaguely, "Where is the cat you picked up?"

Chen Ge was stunned, and then he was stunned and said, "I couldn't find it last night." ”

Seeing Gu Fanghuai's figure paused, Jiang Wan pouted and said, "I don't have any sympathy." "When I think of it, this kid can't wait to jump up when he sees cats and dogs. Jiang Wan's belly slandered, maybe he let it go.

But seeing that Chen Ge was in a good mood, he revealed the matter and knocked on the chopsticks, "It's delicious."

This winter passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Jiang Wan's internship period was almost over. She didn't find a suitable one, so she simply worked as a clerk in a small company in Huachen City, in layman's terms: serving tea and pouring water. However, she was unlucky, and she was not able to do it yet, and the company went out of business. Later, she successively defeated Shin Shin Convenience Supermarket and a company engaged in construction qualifications, and turned into a glorious and great jobless vagrant.

Now that he is a member of the "Cat's Pavilion", he will not have a place to go after the internship.

In the bedroom, because Jiang Wan did not squeak for a long time, the room was quiet and could only hear Chen's mother's rapid breathing.

Shen Kuo saw Jiang Wan wandering out of the world after chattering, raised his hand in front of her eyes, and snapped his fingers extremely loudly.

Jiang Wan woke up like a dream in his memory.

"What are you thinking?" Shen Kuo glanced at Jiang Wan's chicken nest with a little disgust, and quickly became serious again.

Jiang Wan took a breath and took a long breath, what did she think? Look at this little question? Do you want her to say in front of her own leader that she is imagining when an unlucky person like her will go out of business? This is not a question of borrowing a few guts from her, this is a question of whether or not to change jobs and get reemployed tomorrow.
