Chapter 57: A Strange Relationship 4
"What are you talking about?" Lin Lin suddenly pushed Li Xiang, "The thank-you meal can be eaten at any time, but the birthday is only today, you can't miss it, go back quickly." β
"That's, that's good. The corners of Li Xiang's mouth raised, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll see you tomorrow." β
"Well, see you tomorrow. β
After watching Li Xiang leave quickly, Lin Lin immediately picked up her mobile phone and contacted the intermediary.
Now that the manager told her that she had passed the probationary period, she should be able to rent an apartment near the company with peace of mind.
This new company is located near the old company, and like the old company, it is really difficult to find a rental house.
According to the introduction of the intermediary, Lin Lin spent an evening running six times in a row, looking at no less than ten rental houses.
Some of these properties are single-room and some are two-room shared apartments. The disadvantages of the single room are probably that there is too little furniture and too little space in the room. The disadvantage of the double room is that it may not be suitable for the object of the shared room.
Some of these subjects specialize in night shifts, and if they live with such roommates, their schedules may be messed up. At night, the other person may be about to go out.
Some are doing online freelance work, staying at home all day, hoarding boxes and boxes of goods at home, depending on the goods, some are still combustibles, which are dangerous.
After a round of viewing, the last thing she got to pay the deposit was a share house. This house is fully equipped with furniture and appliances, and the decoration is new, which makes Lin Lin like it at first sight.
Unfortunately, when she looked at the house, the person she shared had not yet left work, so she didn't know who she was going to share until she paid the deposit.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Lin's house.
I had to go to work and find a dormitory, and Lin Lin, who was tired all day, immediately started eating dinner as soon as she got home.
It took about ten minutes to finish her meal, and she ran into the room again, and hurriedly began to pack her things.
She is in such a hurry because the contract signed is coming into effect next week, and the rent of the newly rented dormitory is more expensive because the environment is better than the previous dormitory, so in order not to waste the rent, she hopes to move there as soon as possible.
After a whole night of packing, finally, before nearly twelve o'clock in the evening, she had packed all the luggage she had planned to pack for the night.
When she was done, her hands were numb, and she lay on the sofa in her room, staring at the bathroom door with her eyes closed.
Zhu Jingjing, this guy, has been in for almost an hour, so he shouldn't have fainted in the bathroom.
Why don't you go in and have a look?
Standing up, Lin Lin had just taken a few steps towards the bathroom, when the bathroom door finally opened.
"Jingjing, have you washed your hair?" Seeing that the red hair that came out was half-dry and smelled of shampoo, Lin Lin immediately asked.
"yes. Zhu Jingjing brushed her hair with her hand, "It's just to wash your hair, are you so surprised?"
"I'm not surprised that you wash your hair. Lin Lin frowned, "But, you also know, it's late now, I haven't taken a shower yet, why do you still blow your hair in the bathroom after washing your hair." β
"Of course you have to blow it inside. Zhu Jingjing sat in front of the dresser, picked up the comb, and said while combing her hair: "You have just been cleaning up in the room, and I don't know how long you have to clean up, so you can't wait inside with your head wet." β
"Huh?" Lin Lin was a little stunned when she heard this, "I don't understand what you mean, you can't come out to blow your hair, does it have anything to do with whether I have finished cleaning up my things?"
"Of course. Zhu Jingjing nodded, "When you clean up your things, the whole room is full of dust, and if I blow my hair in the room, won't my hair get dirty again." β
Lin Lin: "......"
"What's wrong? Zhu Jingjing didn't understand why Lin Lin was silent.
"Nothing. Lin Lin continued to walk towards the bathroom, "I'll take a shower first." β
With that, she walked into the bathroom, and as soon as the bathroom door closed, she sighed deeply.
What's wrong with this Zhu Jingjing, it's only been a few days, and it seems that she has changed.
Is it because of the sudden resignation and too much pressure?
Or is it because he broke up with Du Cai, and the blow is too big?
Just as she was thinking while bathing, she suddenly heard a man's voice outside.
The voice is......
Elder brother?
No way?
Why did my brother come to her room all of a sudden?
Three minutes later.
Coming out of the bathroom, Lin Lin, who had finished taking a shower, looked around the room.
"What's wrong?" asked Zhu Jingjing, who was sitting on the sofa playing with her phone.
"Did my brother come in?"
"Your brother?" Zhu Jingjing blinked, and suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Lin Lin's luggage, "Why are you so fast, you packed so many things in one night." β
"Still fast?" Lin Lin shook her head, "I still think it's too slow." β
"Are you in a hurry?" asked Zhu Jingjing.
"Of course. Lin Lin walked back to her bed and sat down, "The contract I signed is effective next week, so I must pack all my luggage this week, and I have to go to work during the day these days, and I can only pack at night, which is not fast." β
Zhu Jingjing: "......"
"By the way, Jingjing, have you found a job?" Lin Lin asked again.
"Not yet. Zhu Jingjing shook her head.
"Then, about renting a house, are you planning to rent first and then look for a job?"
"Huh?" Zhu Jingjing didn't understand, "Why should I rent first and then look for a job?"
"Because I'm moving out soon. Lin Lin explained, "I'm leaving, you have to move out, but you haven't found a job, so you can't find a dormitory according to your place of work, that is, you can only rent first and then find a job." β
Zhu Jingjing: "Huh." β
Lin Lin: "What's wrong?"
"Actually......" Zhu Jingjing put down her phone, "Actually, you don't have to move in such a hurry." β
"How can you not be in a hurry, I just said that my new contract will take effect next week, and the rent of the new dormitory is very expensive......"
"Nope. Zhu Jingjing interrupted: "I didn't mean this ......"
"Then what do you mean?" Lin Lin looked at Zhu Jingjing puzzled.
"I mean......" Zhu Jingjing swallowed, "This house is so good, I don't think you need to move out at all." β
Zhu Jingjing's words fell, seeing that Lin Lin didn't react, she continued: "You will say it yourself, in order not to waste rent, you have to move in early, but if you live at home and don't rent a house outside, won't it save more?"
"This is big and luxurious, and the housekeeping and three meals a day are done by a nanny, and you can save so much money at once, which is not much better than renting a house outside. β
"And ......"
"Enough Jingjing......" Just as Zhu Jingjing was counting the advantages of Lin Lin's family with great interest, Lin Lin suddenly interrupted her.
She frowned, "Do you know why I moved out?" β
"Yes. Zhu Jingjing nodded, "You said that you don't have a good relationship with your brother, and you are angry with him, so you moved out to live." β
"Ouch. Zhu Jingjing waved her hand again, "Didn't you reconcile with your brother recently, so what else are you moving?" β
"I'm talking to my brother gradually, but ......," Lin Lin hung her head, "but I moved out, not just because of ......"
"You want to say that you moved out to prove your ability, right? Zhu Jingjing recalled that when Lin Lin shared a house with her, she told her the reason why she would leave home to rent a house.
"You said that when you lived at home, you had a conflict of opinion with your brother, and at that time, because you had just graduated from school, had no work experience, and you were still spending the pocket money he gave. β
"So, when you reason with him, he is always overwhelmed by things like 'you don't understand' and 'you're too naΓ―ve'. β
"Because of this, you gave up the opportunity you should have to take over the family business directly, chose to go out and find a job on your own, and started from the bottom of the company. β
"It's not just jobs, it's housing. You gave up your big house and lived in a rotten apartment with me outside, in a rotten apartment in an urban village. β
"You are doing all this in order to adapt to society as soon as possible and become independent as soon as possible. β
"Do you think that only in this way will your brother no longer dare to treat you as an immature child, so that he will not be looked down upon by him in the future, and what you say will not be ignored by him again. β
"I'm right, Lin Lin. β
Zhu Jingjing's words fell, Lin Lin answered her with silence, she was not wrong.
Seeing that Lin Lin didn't speak, Zhu Jingjing said with confidence, "You, for the sake of anger, you want to pursue rapid growth and maturity." β
"But have you ever thought carefully about whether mature people should be angry?"
Lin Lin: "......"
Seeing Zhu Jingjing yawning and returning to the bed to cover the quilt, Lin Lin decided not to refute anything.
Lin Lin, who fell backwards and also lay down, stared at the ceiling, her tired eyes couldn't close when she wanted to.
In fact, even if Zhu Jingjing doesn't sleep, she can't refute her.
Because what she said was not wrong at all.
In order to be angry, she has been eager to mature.
But in fact, she has been an adult for so long, and she is still angry with her brother, and this kind of self is actually the most immature.
Should she move out?
No.
The deposit has been paid, so let's move forward.
It's just, and the problem with my brother is over there......
Forget it, I have to go to work tomorrow, so let's go to bed quickly, don't think so much.
Eyelids loosened.
As soon as I closed my eyes, suddenly, there was a "pop" sound in my ears.
What is this sound?
He opened his eyes and sat up sharply.
Fortunately, Lin Lin, who was too sleepy just now and forgot to turn off the light, and could see the situation of the room clearly, immediately recalled the direction of the voice just now.
The sound...... It seems to be ...... Coming from the balcony?
stood up and was about to step to the balcony for a moment, when Zhu Jingjing also got up.
"Lin Lin, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to check it out on the balcony. β
"What are you doing on the balcony?"
"I just heard a strange sound coming from the balcony, did you hear that?"
"I didn't hear that. Zhu Jingjing's expression was very affirmative, "You heard it wrong." β
"Nope. Lin Lin continued to walk towards the balcony, "Maybe you didn't hear it when you fell asleep, but I haven't fallen asleep just now, and I can hear it clearly." β
She walked to the balcony door, held the doorknob in her hand, and twisted nervously, "It's like the sound of something falling to the floor, that's where it comes from." β
The moment she pushed open the balcony door, her eyes were rounded.
A familiar figure of a man caught her eye.
"Brother?"
"You,"
"Why are you here?"
