Chapter 8 Snail Dwelling
I waved goodbye to a dark period in my life, but the slump left over from me still needed to be treated. So, I followed Gao Qiang's advice and didn't go out to look for a job right away. And I also had to make sure that I had some time to recharge before I was crushed by the harsh reality. So, I decided to rest for a few days first.
The days of rest, for me, are the freedom of the cat in the house.
And the house I'm renting now is arguably the largest house I've ever rented. Compared to the small house rented by Wu Tan at the beginning, it is simply a luxurious room.
God knows how hard I put into renting this room. Not because of the high rent price, but because before I moved in, it was a homicide scene where a man and a woman were killed in the living room and bedroom.
So, when I learned that the landlord was going to rent out the house at a low price, I knew that there was always another way to cut out the money in a bargain that was more than the market price. And when I rented this cheap house, I paid for a real sense of fearlessness.
I still remember when I was at the beginning, imagining the tragic situation of the murder in my mind, my nose seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood, and even the stench of decomposing corpses, step by step, on a sunny day, forcing myself to live in.
Since then, I have put an end to watching horror movies and supernatural movies.
Murder aside, though, my nest is pretty cute.
When I entered the house, there was a living room of about 10 square meters facing the door, and the bathroom was on the right hand side of the door. The bathroom had my favorite shower. Whenever I'm unhappy, I have to take a shower, and I have to take a shower, and I have to take a shower, humming a song and slapping my loneliness more cheerfully than Pikachu.
And in the living room, the last thing I want to see is the living room. Because I had no guests to entertain and no luxuries to display, there was nothing in the living room but an unused coffee table and a dilapidated wardrobe.
To the right of the living room, separated from the bathroom by a wall, is a small dining room with a balcony that doubles as a kitchen. Every day off, I would carefully mix the stuffing, roll the skin, and make dumplings at an old table in that small dining room. That was Wu Tan's favorite food, and later, it became my favorite food.
Finally, I would like to introduce my favorite and most beloved garden, which is located on the left hand side of the living room. Although I am not a follower of Epicurus, I also believe in tranquility and happiness. So, my bedroom is the back garden of my dreams, where the flowers only bloom in my heart. And most of my leisure time is also wasted in the bedroom doing quiet lazy bed exercises, or happy networms.
In the bedroom, there is a double bed with my single futon and a picture of me with my mother hanging on the wall at the head of the bed. Whenever I lie in the warm bed, I feel as happy as nestled in my mother's arms.
The desk at the foot of the bed is full of all kinds of gadgets I have collected, such as matryoshka dolls, Tibetan Tibetan knives, snowy glass balls, Bodhi Buddha beads, crayon Xiaoxin that can poop with a pinch of your hand, 12 zodiac signs made of beads, iron core scales, antique small mirrors made of DIY retro materials, and so on......
I don't think the ones in my collection are worth much, I just love the way they look colorful and stylish. Placed in my room, I have a dazzling feeling, and then lined with the sunshine in the room, with the color of the fairy tale world, let me have a kind of beauty out of the world. Honestly, I love them to death. However, this kind of beauty, every time Jieyun comes to visit, it will become synonymous with the garbage station. I was annoyed that my house was like a garbage dump, but I couldn't argue with the messy state of my little nest.
Whenever Jieyun lamented my pauper's life, I gave her the same sympathy. for she will never enjoy the pleasure of my hoar with the groov than with Plato.
Later, Gao Qiang added two more things to my wonderful collection, one was a princess tiara and the other was a perfume with a crown packaging. According to him, a woman should live like a princess when she is a girl, and even more like a queen when she becomes a woman. He said this to me that I had never tried, because I always felt that I lived more like a maid.
On one side of the desk, there is a small desk, which was thrown by the neighbor next to him when he moved. Under his indifferent gaze, I moved this small desk into my room and used it as my calligraphy and painting practice place. Now, it was covered in all kinds of colors, like a mischievous child who had soiled his clothes and was punished for standing.
On the opposite side of the small desk was a rudimentary closet, which I used to make my bookcase. But it's like a concubine who has been thrown into the cold palace, and it can hardly win my favor. For all my favorites were given me the most expensive item in the house, the computer, which provided me with many happy hours and all sorts of unrealistic fantasies. I still find joy in it. I think it's the only one that can endure that crazy and stupid me who makes all kinds of strange noises all the time. If I could, I almost felt like I could marry it......
At the thought of 'getting married', I sat on the bed and stared at the pair of glass figures on the windowsill facing the bed.
The dark purple curtains were open, half-hidden by the aqua-green marble windowsills, on which were the pair of glass figures filled with thousands of paper cranes that I had given to Wu Tan. Not to mention the romance in film and television dramas, there is always a world of difference between it and reality. When I gave Wu Tan a birthday gift the glass man with crooked eyes and a thousand paper cranes that I had bought after walking all over the streets, I didn't even have a light kiss that I imagined to be romantic. Wu Tan just sighed, put them aside, and didn't even bother to ask me how long it had been to fold a thousand paper cranes.
At that time, seeing Wu Tan's attitude of not caring at all, I even thought that I was wrong. Next time, he should buy a designer belt that he likes, or buy a fashion watch that he has loved for a long time.
Thinking about it now, I was a little ridiculous back then......
I glanced at the messy bedroom, pulled over the two large bags of things that Gao Qiang had sent me before I put them next to the bed, took out a cotton towel and electric toothbrush from there, and went to the bathroom to replace my worn-out towel with my flipped toothbrush. The rest of the stuff was packed and stuffed under the bed.
He said that my room needs to be cleaned and decorated. I felt that my room was just like me, and no amount of decoration could get rid of the temperament of a poor middle peasant, so I did not intend to do it according to Gao Qiang's requirements......
Just yesterday, I narcissistically asked Gao Qiang if he helped me pay back the money I owed to my eldest cousin, so Liu Hanyu didn't come to continue to collect the debt. As a result, after his cold 'no', my proud dreams were completely shattered, and for a short time I didn't even want to see him in shame.
I really want to go out shopping, but I can't remember how long it has been since I went shopping. The empty purse has made me lose interest in collecting for a long time, and I haven't even bought clothes for a long time. I took out my bag with only more than 200 yuan left, and I still stopped this unrealistic idea when I wanted to go shopping.
After a rough tidying up of the house, I decided to get some good sleep first.
Before I could fall asleep, the phone rang. I picked up the phone, and immediately a voice roared like a raging wind, "It's a pity, count you ...... ruthlessly"
I was just confused, and I was immediately even more confused, what is this? I just wanted to respond, but the other party took the phone before me.
I took the phone and tried to widen my eyes, and looked at the caller ID carefully, it was Lin Wenjing calling, what is the situation? I pondered depressedly. But according to Jieyun's words, I don't have any extra brain cells to spend, so I continued my big plan for beauty sleep and continued to cook pigs' heads......
Strangely, when I woke up, my world was still quiet, and my dreams were not interrupted even once by a knock on the door or a phone call, was I just forgotten by the world?
