Chapter 3: Chums
"These people are too bad, aren't they!" After listening to Du Li's face-to-face narration, Qiqi was upset, "I think you can come back and live with me, lest they come up with other tricks to scare you one day!"
"I'm not afraid, I'm going to see what they can do to me?" said Du Li as she handled the email, as if she didn't take pranks seriously at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ infoActually, just now she just told me about being tricked by a little girl as a joke.
"If it's just a prank, forget it, if it's really something, what are you going to do?" Kiki looked at Du Li and hesitated for a moment, but still said softly.
Du Li looked up and saw Kiki looking at her.
Du Li smiled: "I'm really unlucky, I was just teased by them, and now I'm scared by you again." β
"Lili, I'm not scaring you. I've heard my grandmother say before that some old houses will be stained with dirt after a long time, and if you watch the Japanese horror movie "The Grudge", that's not what you're talking about. I don't think you should live there, how nice it would be to move in and be my company!"
"I'm not so easily scared by you, Li Shan is still a student, no one is afraid, what am I afraid of!" Du Li smiled, "So, auntie, you still bless me, I don't know what's wrong this year, the place where I live is not good, maybe you and Guanyin Bodhisattva think more about my good, I will live in peace." β
"Well, if they dare to play tricks on you again, I'll make them look good. Would you like a cup of coffee?"
"Don't be too strong. β
"Yes!"
Du Li couldn't help but smile with satisfaction as she watched Kiki walk towards the back of the coffee machine.
Qiqi is Du Li's college alumnus, and when she graduated, Du Li wanted to develop in Shanghai, but she felt too lonely, so she wrote some small advertisements and posted them on campus, roughly saying that she was going to Shanghai to develop, hoping to find a partner of the same sex and help each other when the time came. I remember that a total of three girls called Du Li at that time, and finally Du Li chose Qiqi, who did not know that Qiqi was from Shanghai at that time. When she first arrived in Shanghai, Qiqi said that she had found a house, and Du Li was very happy, thinking that the person she chose was indeed right. When she arrived at the house that Qiqi was looking for, Du Li was dumbfounded, how much does it cost to rent a month's rent for such a large villa!
"You stole this house?" Du Li said in surprise.
"Of course not. β
"Then why don't you pay rent?"
"This is my family's house. Kiki finally confessed honestly.
At that time, Du Li knew that Qiqi was originally from Shanghai, but because her parents had always been abroad, she had lived in Suzhou with her grandmother since she was a child. The year Kiki graduated from high school, her grandmother passed away, and her parents didn't have time to come back to see the old man for the last time because they were busy with business. For this, Kiki later had a big fight with her parents. Her parents originally wanted to take her to study abroad, but Kiki didn't agree to it, and said a lot of stupid things about cutting off relations with her parents. Her parents couldn't help Kiki, and there was no shortage of people to take care of her business abroad, so she hurriedly flew back after taking care of the old man's funeral, and Kiki stayed in China to study at university.
There is always a chance in some things in life, if Qiqi followed her parents to study abroad, then her life trajectory and Qiqi's life may never intersect. Du Li often thinks like this, so what kind of life will she live in Shanghai in the past few years?
Kiki's parents later divorced, her mom married a French man, and her dad married an American woman. The two of them are still drifting abroad for many years, but they are living separately. I live my own life, Kiki has always said that, and of course, you have me with you, Lili.
The years in Shanghai are also thanks to the company of Qiqi, otherwise life may be a lot less bright. Qiqi is a very enthusiastic and very good at taking care of people, I don't know how much I have helped myself over the years, thinking of this, Du Li can't help but feel that her choice back then seemed a little magical.
It's already past ten o'clock in the evening after work, and unless there is a social, Du Li is usually the last person to leave the company. In Shanghai, there are too many smart people and people with backgrounds, and Du Li feels that she is not only smart, but stupider than many people, and as for her background, she has no background. In order to survive, she can only choose to believe in hard work.
Walking out of the office building and looking up at the moonlit and starry sky, Du Li had a sense of relief. After a busy day, the customer finally finalized the order intention, and I couldn't help but feel a little sense of accomplishment in my heart.
It was late autumn, and the cold air in the night wind was blowing a little chill on her neck, so Du Li lifted her collar and walked down the steps and down the street to her residence. Since moving into her new home, Du Li has walked to and from work every day, and the twenty-minute walk is a rare opportunity for office workers like Du Li.
Back at home, Li Shan was watching TV in the living room, and when she saw Du Li coming back, she cried and said, "Sister, you're back." β
"Hey, Shanshan, what are you crying about?"
"It's so touching. Li Shan sat on the sofa and pointed to the TV and cried.
Du Li looked at the TV, and the hero and heroine in it were parting with life and death. Du Li shook her head helplessly, thinking that she might have been so naΓ―ve once upon a time, so she smiled and went back to her room.
When she returned to the living room after washing, Li Shan seemed to be a different person, hugging the pillow and laughing.
"Shanshan, what's so funny?"
"This guest is so funny. β
Du Li sat on the sofa while wiping her hair, it turned out to be an entertainment show. Li Shan was already coughing with laughter, and the tears on her face had not dried before, but at this time, tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.
"Shanshan, are you alright? β
"Sister!" Li Shan said and suddenly jumped up and hugged Du Li.
"What's wrong, Sanshan?"
"I'm out of love...... Shanshan cried bitterly as she leaned on Du Li's shoulder.
In the next two or three days, Li Shan never went out, nor did she watch TV again, and just hid in her room and slept every day. Standing in front of the glass window of the company building, watching the damp streets under the gloomy sky of November, pedestrians with umbrellas going back and forth, Du Li's mood seemed to be dyed with a touch of melancholy.
"What do you want, dear?"
"It's nothing, my eyes are a little tired, look out the window and take a break. β
"Leave work early today and go buy some clothes with me? The weather forecast says that it will cool down tomorrow. β
Du Li wanted to go back to see Li Shan as soon as possible, but she couldn't refuse Qiqi's request.
After buying clothes in Paris Spring, the two went to eat a little dessert again, and Du Li looked at her watch, it was almost ten o'clock. However, the surrounding lights are brilliant, and for the city, perhaps the nightlife is just beginning at this time. Du Li was already a little tired.
"After supper, I'll send you back. Kiki smiled understandingly.
"You still know me best. β
"Of course. Kiki smiled happily as she ate her dessert.
Kiki drove Du Li downstairs in the car.
"I'm going up, go back and stay safe. Du Li got out of the car, leaned against the car door, and bent over to Qiqi and said.
"Yes. Hey, it looks like someone is moving in your building. β
Du Li turned around and looked, there was a moving truck parked under the street lamp not far away, and a man with long hair was picking up the things handed down by the people in the car, all of them were in a bag, I couldn't see what was inside, it seemed that it had been packed and moved over before.
"Well, I should have moved in. Leave it alone, you can go back quickly. Du Li said and closed the car door.
"Then I'm leaving. Kiki waved her hand, started the car and turned around and drove along the same road towards the outside of the community.
The long-haired man was still carrying bags of things on the ground, and he was doing it so carefully that he didn't seem to notice Du Li at all. Du Li walked up the stairs to open the entrance to the first floor, walked along the stairs to the third floor, and when she arrived at the door, she found that the door opposite her was open, although the light inside was very dim, she could still see a few bags in the living room, which were very similar to those downstairs. It turned out that they had moved to live opposite us, and Du Li thought about taking out the key and opening the door and entering the room.
