Chapter 82: The Stranger Downstairs

There are still ten days to go before the New Year, and the first semester of college has ended. __>>_Barw=ww.The three people in the dormitory also went home for the New Year 6 and sent them away one by one, and Chen Mengran was the last to leave.

Watching my brother leave happily, you can imagine how nourishing this college life is. Of course, for Chen Mengran, in the past semester, it can only be described in two words - hardship.

That's right, bitterness. Hard-pressed codeword career.

One person, one bed, one chair, one computer.

I don't interact with the outside world, I don't have contact with my classmates, and I don't even have contact with anyone else except my brother in the same dormitory. After a semester, I didn't even remember the names of my classmates.

Happily, the hard work has also borne fruit.

The manuscript fee of more than 8,000 yuan successfully made Chen Mengran's bank card rise from four figures back to five figures. This is twice as much as before.

With this money, this year is sure to be more exciting than in previous years.

Before leaving school, Chen Mengran received a letter from Meng Xiaoqian. In each of these four months, they would receive a letter from each other, and the two of them would express their thoughts about each other.

The delicate pen words and the strong thoughts expressed between the lines made Chen Mengran intoxicated.

Nie Yun is right, a woman like Meng Xiaoqian will not be emotionally emotional, and once she is emotional, even if it is mixed with multiple factors, it will not dissipate lightly.

After calculating the time, it has been almost five months since Meng Xiaoqian left, that is to say, almost half of the year has passed.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Mengran hoped that time would pass sooner, and he couldn't wait to meet the beautiful woman tomorrow.

After writing a reply letter to Meng Xiaoqian, Chen Mengran cleaned the dormitory again before closing the door and leaving.

Riding the bus home, Chen Mengran was also full of emotion.

My home is not far from the school, so it stands to reason that I can go back every week. However, due to the code word, Chen Mengran only went home twice in the past four months, and the average was once every two months. Chen Mengran felt that he was a little unfilial.

And his parents thought that Chen Mengran had a heavy academic load in college and had no time to go home, so they didn't doubt it.

The Spring Festival is the largest traditional festival in China, and many people are looking forward to this day.

For Chen Mengran, the Chinese New Year just means eating more meat, listening to more firecrackers, and having a new dress to wear. 8w·w=w=.-y=a`w=e-n-8-.`com

New clothes are also limited to Chen Mengran, Chen's father and Chen's mother don't have them, and they have always worn old clothes for the New Year. They are reluctant to spend extra money on clothing.

But this year, Chen Mengran didn't plan to live as hard as he did in the previous year, he thought about being more luxurious, even if he was scolded by his father, it didn't matter.

So after returning home, Chen Mengran took out 2,000 yuan from the bank, part of which was to buy ingredients for the New Year, and part of it was to buy new clothes for his parents and himself. I wanted to buy more furniture for my family, and I thought that I would have to pay tuition fees for the next year, so I had to dispel this extravagant idea.

Hiding from Chen's father, Chen Mengran pulled his mother to start the New Year's purchase journey.

In the morning, Chen Mengran bought clothes for his parents and himself, and in the afternoon, he went to the vegetable market to buy ingredients. When I got home, I looked at the ingredients and clothes on the sand in the kitchen, and my face became more and more difficult to look at.

The evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

The sound of firecrackers kept ringing outside, and inside the house, Chen's mother brought the hot dumplings to the table, and the family gathered around the table to eat a reunion dinner, and the scene was very warm.

Chen Mengran was about to move the chopsticks, but was stopped by Chen's mother.

took out the thermos flask that he didn't know when he was preparing and handed it to Chen Mengran.

"What is this?" asked Chen Mengran puzzled.

"It's dumplings. ”

"Dumplings?" Chen Mengran was even more puzzled, and said, "What are you giving me this?"

"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you send this dumpling to the apricot girl's house." ”

"Li Xing'er. ”

"Yes, I met her in the community today and asked her if she didn't go home for the New Year, and she said no. I invited her to come to my house to eat dumplings, but she refused again, so I had to send them to her. Mother Chen said.

"You said you didn't have a hot face and a cold ass. Father Chen said.

He doesn't have a good impression of Li Xing'er, in his heart, he only thinks of Zheng Huihui.

Chen Mengran also nodded in agreement with Chen's father's words.

First, he and Li Xing'er will not have any results in the future. Secondly, at this critical moment of the Chinese New Year, if you don't eat dumplings as a family at home, but you have to go out to deliver dumplings to people you don't know, isn't it sick. Ya_>> bar>>w-w=w-.-

"What do you know, in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a little girl's family must be lonely and unbearable if she is alone in an empty room. If you go with hot dumplings at this time, you say she can't be moved. ”

"What about moving. Father Chen snorted.

"After being moved, maybe you can like our family Xiaoran. ”

"After talking for a long time, you still don't give up on this Li Xing'er. I think Zheng Huihui is a good little girl. ”

Seeing that the second elder actually quarreled on this Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Mengran hurriedly played a round game for them to calm the dispute between the two elders, and endured the unhappiness in his heart and went out with dumplings.

From time to time, there were bursts of firecrackers outside the door, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and every house was lit up with lights, which was full of New Year's flavor.

Li Xinger's home is in the same neighborhood as Chen Mengran, and the buildings are not far from each other, so Chen Mengran didn't wear too many clothes when she went out this time.

The weather was also cold in the past two days of the Chinese New Year, and after going out, a gust of wind blew, and Chen Mengran shivered.

tightened his thin clothes, and trotted all the way towards Li Xing'er's building.

When he got downstairs, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him without warning, blocking Chen Mengran's way.

Chen Mengran was startled, quickly stopped his body, and almost collided with that person.

"I'm sorry. Chen Mengran apologized.

But there was no response.

Chen Mengran looked at the man carefully, and then he realized that the other party had been facing away from him.

Judging from his figure, this person is a man, and he is half a head taller than Chen Mengran. What surprised him was that the other party was only wearing a thin caftan in this cold weather.

You must know that Chen Mengran is wearing cotton clothes inside and a long coat outside, so he is still shivering from the cold, I really don't know why this person is so cold-resistant.

Chen Mengran felt that this person was a strange person, so he ignored him and walked past him into the building.

Li Xing'er's building is No. 4O1 on the fourth floor.

Chen Mengran walked to the front of the building, hesitated, and knocked on Li Xing'er's door.

There was three knocks on the door, but no one came. Chen Mengran listened through the door. I don't know if the door panel is too thick, and Chen Mengran can't hear any sound.

"I can't be at home. Chen Mengran muttered.

Since no one opened the door, Chen Mengran didn't plan to stay too long. Time is precious and can't be wasted, and he still has to go home and eat dumplings next to his parents.

Just as he was about to go downstairs to leave, the door suddenly clicked open.

Li Xing'er's beautiful face appeared and flashed through the crack in the door.

After a few days of not seeing her, her face became more and more haggard.

"It's you. A hint of surprise flashed in Li Xing'er's eyes, as if she didn't expect Chen Mengran to come at this time.

Then he turned vigilant and said, "What are you going to do?"

Chen Mengran showed a harmless smile: "My mother knows that you are home alone, let me bring you some dumplings." ”

Li Xing'er glanced at the thermos flask in Chen Mengran's hand, the vigilance in her eyes gradually disappeared, and after a little groaning, she opened the door and said, "Come in." ”

Chen Mengran walked in as he said.

It's a one-bedroom apartment, it's small, the hall is empty, just a few pieces of furniture, but there are no appliances, not even a TV, just a piano.

invited Chen Mengran to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.

chatted with Li Xinger for a few words, and specially talked about Gao Tongtong.

reminded: "Don't tell Uncle Gao about my visit today, if he knows that I am in Pingjin, I'm afraid he will call me again." ”

"Why is this, I can see that Tongtong is very dependent on you, you have not been here for the past few months, Gao Zhiqiang has hired such a tutor, but none of them have been in her eyes, I don't know why you are not willing to go back?"

Why, because without Li Mengxi, he is no longer qualified to tutor others.

Of course, he couldn't say that. I only said that I had more important things, so I didn't have time to be qualified for the job of tutor anymore.

"By the way, why don't you go home and reunite with your family for the Chinese New Year?" Chen Mengran asked.

Hearing this, Li Xing'er's eyes obviously became gloomy. Chen Mengran knew that she might stab other girls' **, and was about to divert the topic, so she heard Li Xinger say: "I don't have a family." ”

"No family?" Chen Mengran was a little confused.

"Could it be that his family has died? Chen Mengran thought to himself.

"I'm an orphan. didn't let Chen Mengran wait too long, Li Xinger gave Chen Mengran an answer.

Orphan, Chen Mengran never thought that this beautiful woman with a noble temperament was an orphan, he always thought that the other party was the eldest lady of a wealthy family.

"I'm sorry. Chen Mengran said.

"I'm sorry for what?" Li Xing'er asked rhetorically.

"This, I, shouldn't have brought up your sadness. Chen Mengran swallowed.

"It's not sad, I've been used to it all these years. ”

"It's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it. Chen Mengran said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he was too idiotic, so he could only laugh awkwardly and leave.

Carrying an empty thermos flask, Chen Mengran went downstairs.

Sweeping around, the strange man was gone. Chen Mengran also trotted back towards his own building. This time it was faster than when he came, and for some reason, he always had a bad premonition in his heart.

Suddenly, Chen Mengran's anxious body stopped. He felt as if someone was following him.

Xun turned his head, but there was no figure behind him.

"How could there be such a strange feeling. Chen Mengran muttered.

I was puzzled, but I didn't care too much, and continued to walk towards my building.

This time, after only ten steps, he stopped.

There was horror on his face. Just now, he felt a cool breeze blowing through his neck, as if someone was blowing behind his back.

It felt so real that he could even hear a heavy gasp.

Looking back, there was still nothing.

"Hell, how suspicious you are today. ”

Chen Mengran didn't dare to stay, so he ran away.

In the middle, he seemed to feel someone blowing on his neck again. But this time, Chen Mengran didn't stop again, he ran back upstairs in one go, opened the door, and slammed the door shut.
