Chapter 26: Man Under the Roof
It was late at night, and the street outside was quiet, and the crickets in the corner were chirping monotonously.
Under the light, the computers of two people are placed on the coffee table at the same time, and the middle angle is 135 degrees.
Two people sit on the sofa on either side, with a 135-degree angle in the middle.
Qian Xiaoxian's hands moved quickly on the keyboard, and the sound of tapping on the keyboard stopped and stopped.
Sometimes she would raise her eyes to glance at Gao Jian when she was stuck, because she couldn't see his computer screen and didn't know what he was looking at.
At 11 o'clock, Qian Xiaoxian finished the last chapter of the day, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she remembered that she hadn't drunk water for several hours and was thirsty.
She raised her head and was about to stand up, but her eyes suddenly met Gao Jian's solemn gaze, he was scanning her unscrupulously.
Qian Xiaoxian's heart flickered again, she hurriedly lowered her head, was there something wrong?
Recently, every time she comes to the B&B, she is wearing conservative clothes, let's just say this off-white cotton dress on her body, with a ruffle collar at the neckline, and loose bat sleeves, which can only reveal her two thin half-cut arms, and the lower skirt hangs directly to the ankles.
"I want coffee. Gao Jian seemed to see Qian Xiaoxian's restraint, and he withdrew his gaze.
"It's 11 o'clock, and I will lose sleep when I drink coffee. ”
"I can't sleep without coffee. ”
Qian Xiaoxian didn't say anything, she put a cup of hot coffee on the coffee table, and then said, "Mr. Gao, I'm sleepy." ”
"Sleep when you're sleepy, what are you looking for me?" Gao Jian said lightly.
“......”
Qian Xiaoxian picked up her notebook and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Gao Jian still didn't look up, didn't raise his eyes.
"Guest room, ......"
"If you don't have a place to sleep, I can take you in and only make an advance for the future. ”
Such a hateful tone, Qian Xiaoxian almost fainted, and walked to the guest room next door without looking back.
This guest room is the kind of farmhouse big kang.
She sat on the kang head, she was very sleepy just now, but now she can't sleep, and the kang is too hard.
Because this big kang can sleep 5 people, there are 5 sets of quilts and 5 pillows, and she simply spreads all four sets of quilts on the kang.
But it's summer, it's hot.
She wanted to turn on the air conditioner, because there were no customers, and the windows of the house were always open for ventilation, but she didn't want to get up and close the windows.
After tossing and turning for a while, she was just a little sleepy when her phone rang.
She glanced at it and sat up in fright.
What is Gao Jian doing on the phone at this time?
She pretended to be asleep and didn't answer.
Fortunately, after the phone rang a few times, it finally quieted down.
When she quietly took out her mobile phone, Gao Jian's short message came again-
Hurry up and answer the phone, or I'll knock on the door.
didn't wait for Qian Xiaoxian to finish reading the short message, and the phone rang again. Qian Xiaoxian was at a loss, oh my God, this person is so pestering!
Qian Xiaoxian knew that he did what he said, now, he was a lamb beside the wolf, and it would be easy for him to eat himself if he wanted to, so he couldn't choke him now, and he would do it when it was time to coax him, this was the way to survive.
"Is there something wrong?" Qian Xiaoxian's voice was very calm.
"Chat with me. ”
Qian Xiaoxian's anger suddenly burst out, this person is too disrespectful to others, who am I, chatting with you? This sentence is too ugly, you can't change it to another tone, such as - let's chat, okay?
"To talk or not to talk?"
His voice raised again.
Qian Xiaoxian glared at the phone, as if staring at Gao Jian on the other end of the phone, she muttered to herself: What is there to talk about, just your tone, three sentences will kill the chat.
Although Qian Xiaoxian was so angry in her heart, she still suppressed her anger and whispered: "Well, okay, but you have to be quieter, open the window, the sound will travel far away, especially at night." ”
"Why are you so well-behaved all of a sudden?"
Qian Xiaoxian thought to herself, this person is like a knife when he speaks, aggressive, I dare not be obedient if I owe 800,000 yuan.
Say. ”
Qian Xiaoxian gritted her teeth, begging me to chat and use a commanding tone, he is too hateful, hey, there is no way, who let himself be planted in the hands of others.
"Speak. ”
"Because I owe you money. ”
Qian Xiaoxian lives with her mother, and it is inevitable that she will often encounter such and such things, but her mother, who can do it herself, will never ask others, and she will never use favors to do things that can be done with money.
She didn't do anything about borrowing money from others, she said that she owed money to others, and she was not down-to-earth and low-spirited.
Qian Xiaoxian didn't understand it before, but now, she has thoroughly experienced this taste.
In particular, the creditor is still a domineering demon, and Qian Xiaoxian feels like a little lamb that he swallows at any time.
"Do you owe money to someone and sleep like a pig?"
"I was just about to fall asleep. ”
Qian Xiaoxian regretted it in her heart, why did she mention the matter of owing money again, hey, wait for him to crusade.
Unexpectedly, Gao Jian changed the topic again, and said, "You tell me about you." ”
"I have nothing to say, dropped out of school and then was in the B&B. ”
Qian Xiaoxian really doesn't like to talk about this with others.
On the surface, she has a lively personality, but her heart is lonely, and she feels that her life is like a blank sheet of paper, without color.
"How many times have you been in love?"
"Nope. I'm not like someone's puppy love, and I can't forget it. ”
Qian Xiaoxian didn't know why such a sentence suddenly appeared, she felt that this sentence was a little sour.
Gao Jian smiled and said, "That's because you didn't meet me." Gao Jian still asked: "Haven't you really liked anyone?"
"Nope. ”
"Isn't the male god Li Yifeng?"
"What. ”
Qian Xiaoxian suddenly laughed heartlessly, she said: "That's Fang Yuan's male god, Fang Yuan's mobile phone is full of his photos, he posts his photos in the circle of friends every day, one bite of her husband, we all say she is a pervert." ”
"Haha......"
Gao Jian didn't expect the pervert who came out of Qian Xiaoxian's mouth to be so simple. He smiled and said, "Qian Xiaoxian, do you know that the mobile phone has radiation, why don't we have a face-to-face interview?"
"Nope. ”
"You come to me, I'll go to you. You choose. ”
The tone has returned to domineering from normal, Qian Xiaoxian really doesn't know how to describe him, this person's chameleon skills can be called a must, but fortunately, Qian Xiaoxian has also begun to get used to it.
He changed, and she didn't see it, she didn't feel it.
"How awkward the interview is, it's still good like this, it's not embarrassing, and the speech is natural. ”
Qian Xiaoxian sat and chatted with her mobile phone for a while, but she was too tired, she still lay in the soft quilt, because of the heat, she lifted her legs up and put them on the wall.
She thought to herself, can she stay in such a comfortable position for the interview?
Gao Jian didn't insist, his voice softened again, and asked, "Who are the people in your family?"
Under Gao Jian's repeated questioning, Qian Xiaoxian still couldn't hold back, she almost sobbed and talked about how her father abandoned home and how her mother raised herself with difficulty.
"I suddenly remembered a sentence, why should we have met people who have fallen to the end of the world. It seems that we really have fate. ”
Qian Xiaoxian pursed her lips and said, "I beg God not to let me meet you." ”
"Why?"
"Well, I can't afford it, and before I go to bed, I'm still thinking that my nightmare of meeting you is about to begin. ”
"Do you know that Seon is missing, and if you want to, I will turn your nightmare into a sweet dream. ”
Moving on to this issue again, it's okay to joke once or twice, how can you take it out at every turn?
Qian Xiaoxian suddenly thought, could it be that he really wanted to be a shield?
"Asleep?"
Gao Jian asked again, Qian Xiaoxian couldn't be silent any longer, so she had to rack her brains to search for topics that he could talk about.
After a moment's hesitation, she asked reluctantly, "How many years have you been in the United States?"
Gao Jian told her about his experience of studying abroad, and when he told her about his experience of taking his mother to see a doctor, Qian Xiaoxian's mobile phone suddenly ran out of battery, and she was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, so she had to come to his bedroom door and say: "Mr. Gao, my mobile phone has been automatically turned off when it is out of power, let's talk again tomorrow." ”
"No, I want to talk to you. ”
"I've got to cook tomorrow morning. After Qian Xiaoxian finished speaking, she hurriedly walked back.
"You're going on a blind date tomorrow night. Gao Jian's tone returned to his previous domineering, and he was like the two of them on the phone just now.
Qian Xiaoxian ran into the guest room and locked the door.
When she returned to the room, she couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned on the bed for a while, but she still couldn't sleep, she simply pulled the curtains and looked at the moon.
The moon tonight is very big and round, but the sky is full of dark clouds, and the moon is covered by dark clouds for a while, and then it comes out again, much like your own mood, flickering bright and dark.
On such a night, she and a terrible creditor said so many things that she had never said to others, and she was also strange that she sometimes hated him, and sometimes she was inexplicably curious about him.
What a contradiction!
Qian Xiaoxian experienced the taste of contradiction for the first time.
Bang bang bang –
The next day, Qian Xiaoxian woke up with a burst knock on the door, oh my God, what time is it?
"Xiaoxian, Qian Xiaoxian!"
The mother's shouts became faster and faster, Qian Xiaoxian suddenly sat up from the quilt, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the 10 mother's missed calls.
She put on her slippers and ran out, opened the door of the yard, and saw her mother holding a wheelchair with both hands, and she almost jumped out of the wheelchair.
"Dead girl, if you don't answer ten phone calls, you can really sleep, and it will be dark if you sleep again. ”
"Ah, Mom, you go home first, I'll pack up and go back immediately." ”
After Qian Xiaoxian finished speaking, she plugged in the door again, she couldn't let her mother in, I don't know if Gao Jian is still there.
She trotted all the way back to the house, but saw Gao Jian walking out in pajamas, he stopped and looked at Qian Xiaoxian, his eyes were indescribable!
Qian Xiaoxian was stared at by him, her eyes were hazy, her face was not washed or brushed, and her hair must be scary.
However, she instantly thought, didn't she think that she was Qian Xiaoxian who hit his car?
800,000 at any time!
"Outside, shout to you. ”
When Qian Xiaoxian was embarrassed and at a loss, Gao Jian looked at the door and said, "You go and see who it is." ”
"It's my mother, you, can you avoid it?"
Gao Jian didn't speak, but turned around and went straight to the backyard.
Qian Xiaoxian ran to the door and said, "I asked you to go back, why haven't you left yet." ”
"You open the door for me. ”
Qian Xiaoxian didn't care about her mother, and ran back indoors. ”
"Dididi-"
The sound of slamming on the door suddenly disappeared, and the mother's phone chased after him.
"Didn't your guests leave there?"
"Ah, I'll say I'm coming back, stop talking, I, I'll go back right away. ”
"I'm going to go on a blind date at night, you hurry back and take a shower and put on makeup, you look like a ghost. ”
"Mom, do you describe your daughter like that?"
"Ahh
Qian Xiaoxian was chatting with her mother with her mobile phone, and she had already walked to the bathroom, and when she saw herself in the mirror, she was also startled.
