Chapter 8: A New Home

Fan Xiaoxiao tried to adjust her mood after getting into the car, "We still have the opportunity to meet the old people, don't worry." He Dudong started the car and gently looked at Xiaoxiao, who was plugging in the seat belt, and said. Fan Xiaoxiao was taken aback, she looked at He Dudong in disbelief, could it be that he knew what he was thinking, it was amazing.

"Dongguang, no, Twilight, can you tell me how you met Xiaoxiao, or if you two just ran into each other by chance. Ye Qiuzi suddenly put his hands on the headrest of the seat in twilight, and asked with a curious look on his face like gossip and entertainment.

This question seemed to catch He Dudong a little off guard, "Well, that's a bit of a long story. He Dudong replied with a smile. Ye Qiuzi seemed a little dissatisfied, and she deliberately pouted to express her dissatisfaction.

"Qiuzi, when we settle down, I'll tell you. Fan Xiaoxiao took the initiative to help Twilight break the siege, and she gently broke the hands that Qiuzi was holding the headrest, "Qiuzi, it will be uncomfortable to drive in Twilight Winter like this." ”

Seeing this, Qiuzi immediately became interested, and her whole face was full of pride like a good show: "Oh, this hasn't passed the door yet, and I'm starting to protect the calf." Xiaoxiao patted her head, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Oh my God, it's not over!" Twilight laughed and didn't say anything, he listened to the bickering of the two girls in the back, especially Xiaoxiao's big grinning laughter, a thick warmth walked all over the body, he put the Bluetooth headset into his ear, and began to talk on the phone with the distant friend who rented the house.

"Xiaoxiao, my friend said, for my sake, the rent can be about the same as that basement, so don't forget to notify the landlord quickly, tell him that you don't rent this basement, it just so happens that this is almost the end of the month, let him refund the deposit and the rest of the room fee to you." Twilight unplugged the Bluetooth headset and looked at Xiaoxiao in the rearview mirror and said.

Xiaoxiao nodded, but Qiuzi couldn't sit still, she stretched out her head: "I feel enough, the deposit can be refunded to us, but the room fee is not necessarily, we are paying five months' rent at a time, you don't know how stingy the landlord is, at that time, when renting a house, it was useless for us to say that we were students who had just graduated from college, so we had to pay one and pay four." Twilight said in a suppressed voice, "When you signed the contract with the landlord at that time, did you pay attention to this refund?" ”

As soon as Qiuzi was about to say something, Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand to stop her, "I'll try it, I can come back as much as I want." Twilight nodded, although he was full of guilt at this time, he was trying to stick to his inner method: "If the landlord doesn't agree, you call the landlord to me, and I'll help you." If you really don't want to come back, I'll make up the rest of the room fee for you. ”

With the familiar night view of the Third Ring Road, He Dudong drove the car into a high-end community, and Fan Xiaoxiao couldn't help muttering a little in her heart through the car glass, because she had already calculated the housing prices here through the environment of this community, and the rent here was more than ten times more expensive than the basement, but He Dudong said that his friend agreed that the rent was the same as that basement, and no matter how deep the friendship was, he couldn't do such a loss-making transaction, unless the landlord had a bad brain, or ......

"Here it is, this is it, get off. He Dudong parked the car in front of a building and prepared to get out of the car. Fan Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something: "Ah, our clothes and toiletries are still left in that basement, and we don't have a change of clothes." He Dudong lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "It's okay, leave this matter to me, you two live here first, I'll help you solve the problem of clothes, and there are toiletries in the bathroom when you wash." Ye Qiuzi also covered his mouth and exclaimed as if he suddenly realized: "My lipstick and foundation are still at home, ah, why didn't I think of it! How can I go to work tomorrow." Ye Qiuzi beat his chest and sighed, "I saved half a year to buy Givenchy foundation and lipstick, ah......"

Twilight looked at Qiuzi, who was wailing, and then at Xiaoxiao, who was looking at him for help, "Well, you guys stay tonight, and tomorrow I'll find a locksmith to open the door and move all the things in your basement." Ye Qiuzi's face instantly turned cloudy and sunny when she heard this, "But I didn't bring makeup remover, and foundation or something, and ......" Xiaoxiao saw that Qiuzi was about to "can't stop the car", she hurriedly stepped forward to cover Qiuzi's mouth: "I have all of this, you use mine first." Qiuzi glanced at Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao responded with a smile.

The new home is on the sixth floor, and Ye Qiuzi, who was standing in the sightseeing elevator, asked Twilight in a very skeptical tone: "Is the rent here really the same as the basement?" He Dudong nodded noncommittally. As soon as the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound, Dusk Dong walked to an anti-theft door while taking out the key from his coat pocket, which surprised Fan Xiaoxiao: "How can you have the key to this door there, isn't this house your classmate's?"

After He Dudong glanced at Fan Xiaoxiao, he replied casually: "The key will be temporarily kept here for safekeeping." Then she pushed the door straight open and went in, Fan Xiaoxiao instantly seemed to understand something, and she and Qiuzi walked in with Dusk.

Exquisite but not luxurious decoration, complete but not superfluous electrical appliances, simple but not simple rooms, comfortable but not hot heating, everything here makes Ye Qiuzi and Fan Xiaoxiao feel like they have gone from hell to heaven all of a sudden. Ye Qiuzi asked He Dudong over and over again: "Are you sure the rent here is the same as the basement?" He Dudong also replied over and over again: "Yes." ”

He Dudong introduced every piece of furniture and electrical appliances here like the owner of the house, but to Fan Xiaoxiao's surprise, every item here is not so old, and some of them are not even a little dusty, if according to He Dudong, the owner of this house should also move some important household appliances and furniture when moving, but why are household necessities such as sofas, refrigerators and stoves still here.

"Come with me. Twilight took the two girls into a bedroom with a double bed, he opened the window, and the cool air immediately poured in, "Let this room breathe first, the air in the room that has not been occupied for a long time will be very turbid, and it is best to open the windows after you go to work tomorrow." Twilight lifted a white sheet on the bed again, and there was a layer of plastic film under the white sheet, and Twilight also lifted the plastic sheet, "You guys should sleep in this bed tonight, the quilt is in the cupboard." As she spoke, Twilight pulled out two thick quilts from the closet and put them on the bed. After this trip, Xiaoxiao had already noticed the small beads of sweat on Dusk's forehead, and Xiaoxiao was both grateful and a little suspicious of this.

Thankfully, Twilight was busy cleaning up the new house for the two girls, and suspiciously, his coherent movements were as skillful as the owner of the house.

"Okay, then I'll go first, put the key on the table for you, don't be in a hurry to pay the rent, I'll give you a bank card number when the time comes, and I'll move all the important things in your basement as soon as possible tomorrow......" After finishing this, Twilight walked to the entrance to prepare to change shoes.

"Then I'll send you. Fan Xiaoxiao hurriedly said while putting on her shoes.

"Alright, don't be your light bulb, but don't come back too late. Ye Qiuzi deliberately said to Fan Xiaoxiao in a very contrived tone.

After Xiaoxiao grimaced at Akiko, she went out with Twilight. The two walked into the elevator without saying a word, and then walked out of the door of the unit in the same silence, in fact, Fan Xiaoxiao had already had a question to ask Twilight, but Twilight's calm and arrogant expression made Fan Xiaoxiao doubt herself.

Am I wrong to blame Twilight? After He Dudong opened the car door with the remote key, Fan Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but ask.

"You didn't change that lock. Fan Xiaoxiao whispered with tears in her eyes.

"What are you talking about, Xiaoxiao. He Dudong went to pull the door handle on his own.

"You answer me, Twilight, did you change that lock?" Fan Xiaoxiao said stubbornly, raising her voice.

He Dudong sighed deeply, he put his hand down, turned around, and looked at Fan Xiaoxiao with very appreciative eyes: "It's still seen by you, it's amazing!" He Dudong gave Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.

"You can act, and you're pretending to call a friend in the car, why don't you become an actor. Xiaoxiao sneered at Twilight.

"Thanks to you, I may be there in the future. Twilight's serious expression didn't tell he was joking.

"Why did you do this, why did you lie, why did you ......" Fan Xiaoxiao looked at He Dudong with tears in her eyes.

"I apologize to you for frightening you, but you're the only one who will come with me, I have no choice, I'm sorry. This house is the first house I bought in Beijing, and I bought the furniture in it alone, I have lived here for three years, and I just moved into a new house at the beginning of this year, which is the house you lived in yesterday. I thought I'd sell it after a while, but I never expected to meet you. I can't see you living in such a humble basement without helping you, I can't do it......" He Dudong said helplessly as he looked at Xiaoxiao's lovely face by the moonlight.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.

After seeing Fan Xiaoxiao's smile, He Dudong also breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said, "So, you forgive me?"

"Hmph, it's so easy, it's okay for me to forgive you, but you have to promise me one condition. Fan Xiaoxiao raised her chin and said.

"No problem, you say. He Dudong didn't think about it.

"The rent will be raised by another three hundred dollars a month, and I will pay for the three hundred dollars. ”

"Why do you mention such a condition, three hundred yuan is not a small amount for you now. He Dudong asked puzzled.

"I owe you a favor last time, so I don't want to owe you anything more this time, as if you gave me all these benefits. Fan Xiaoxiao said seriously.

"Three hundred yuan is a bit too much for you, let's start with one hundred yuan, and then talk about it when your salary rises. "He Dudong is very good at bargaining.

Fan Xiaoxiao looked at the starry sky and thought about it, then squinted and smiled, "Okay." ”

"Can you promise me one thing too?" asked Twilight, taking a step forward and earnestly.

"You say. Xiaoxiao tilted her head and replied.

"If you need help with any difficulties in the future, can you let me know as soon as possible? ”

Xiaoxiao looked at the man in front of her who had a longing look like a big boy, nodded and squinted and smiled: "Of course you can." ”

The nearest street lamp to the two people was lit, and the bronze light shone on the two young people who were looking at each other warmly, and in this warm and romantic winter night, all the stars in the sky came out, as if they were a group of condescending naughty children.
