Chapter 279: The Man Who Sits Alone
Xu Shuangchuan also didn't know that in the middle of the night, Chen Chi got up and sat against the wall at her feet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bed was narrow, and he bent his knees, careful not to bump into her, silently watching her huddled silhouette in the dark. He looked at it for a long, long time, and finally suddenly lowered his head and grabbed his hair with both hands.
The light blue curtain on the aluminium balcony door was thin and not long enough, and it was as large as the glass on the door. The moonlight leaked in a little through the edge of the curtain, and a cold white light mark was obliquely drawn on the wall behind Chen Chi.
The night was silent, the figure sitting in the corner of the bed was motionless, and the moonfrost vaguely reflected the whitening knuckles he had squeezed into his hair.
Chen Chi said to Xu Shuangchuan on the second day: "Shuangshuang, let's go find a house." ”
Xu Shuangchuan did not hesitate and immediately agreed. She doesn't live well, but if she doesn't go to see and listen to everything, she goes out early and returns late, and she comes back to cook and sleep, and she can probably make do. However, when Chen Chi heard this embarrassing thing next door, Xu Shuangchuan thought, if there is a house at the right price outside, then move again.
When Qiao Rongcheng was there, he was squeezed a little, but some people rented the same room, occasionally complaining to each other about their living experience, and they seemed to have teammates in spirit. Even if there are some inconveniences in the details of life, such as waiting for the landlord to finish eating before cooking, for example, the landlord always watches TV in the living room, for example, the landlord has not changed his pajamas during the day, for example, the landlord smokes upstairs and downstairs, these things, there are people who suffer exactly the same inconvenience as themselves, and it is not so unbearable.
Before Qiao Rongcheng moved, the entrance to his attic was always open. At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Shuang was hungry and went down to find something to eat, she naturally ran downstairs to rummage through the refrigerator, and sometimes Qiao Rongcheng asked her to help bring some drinks. But after he left, Xu Shuang subconsciously shrank in her room, and after Huang Jie went upstairs to rest, she would definitely not go downstairs.
There shouldn't be any big problems with the quality of this house, after all, when Qiao Rongcheng lived in the attic, Xu Shuangchuan never heard any noise from the ceiling, and the voices of Huang Jie and Mr. Qian in the room could not be heard. She listened to songs in the dead of night many times, and Huang Jie didn't knock on the door to talk to her. However, the vibration of the bed board and the walls can indeed reach the house of Xu Shuang.
Xu Shuangchuan heard it a few times, and was awakened in the middle of the night. She's not a little girl who doesn't know anything anymore. After understanding it, she had nowhere to go, she was embarrassed to open the door and go downstairs, and she didn't dare to go to the balcony to breathe, so she had to close her eyes and sleep again. When she gets up in the morning, if Huang Jie has gone downstairs, the door next door will be covered with a crack to breathe. When Xu Shuang passed by, he would always hold his breath, like a frightened rabbit, and quickly cross over, not wanting to be contaminated with the breath emanating from there.
And every morning like this, I don't know if it is the psychological effect of Xu Shuangxia, she will always peek at the dining table that Huang Jie is more enthusiastic than ever before, and her face is full of light, which makes her more and more uncomfortable.
Xu Shuangchuan didn't go to his classmates to ask about the experience of the previous tenants, and he didn't test Qiao Rongcheng at all.
One person's embarrassment can always be dissipated secretly, and two people can only be silent when they are embarrassed together.
After that night, Xu Shuangchuan did not take the initiative to discuss the voice next door with Chen Chi, and Chen Chi did not mention it at all, he lived in Qian's house for three days and four nights, and stayed in the house for very little time. During the day, he accompanied Xu Shuangchuan to the laboratory, Xu Shuangchuan had something to do, so he stayed in the computer room to write his own paper, several times, Xu Shuangchuan took the time to see him, and found that he was not in the position, it turned out that he ran to other floors to see the bulletin board.
"Don't run around." Xu Shuang had a headache and said, "That's another department." ”
Chen Chi was very frank: "I didn't write that it was strictly forbidden to pass, and besides, I just looked in the public corridor." ”
Chen Chi was reading all kinds of small rental and sales advertisements posted by students, and he wanted to find a house for Xu Shuangchuan.
He was in a hurry.
However, at the beginning of the semester, the students were settled in, and there was not much desire to move, and there were almost no small advertisements for sharing or subletting. Chen Chi was disappointed, and when Xu Shuangchuan was doing experiments, he rode her small bicycle and asked a real estate agent to inquire about the market.
It is impossible for him to let Xu Shuangchuan live in the Qian family anymore.
In the afternoon, he went back to Xu Shuangshuang's experimental building to pick her up.
"Come here, I have a small greenhouse, I'll show you around."
"Can I go?"
Xu Shuangchuan smiled slyly: "I'm just about to go watering, you can help me carry the bucket." ”
After Chen Chi brought in the sprinkler bucket, he wanted to help with watering, but was hurriedly stopped by Xu Shuangchuan: "You don't understand, I'll come, I'll come, you have to be particular about doing these things, you can't just do it casually." ”
He was ordered to stand in a corner, and watched her in a blue coat and carrying a heavy sprinkler bucket, carefully patrolling among the plants he had never seen, diligently, even going round and forth about a small tree a little shorter than her.
"Frosty, you're having fun doing this?" Chen Chi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and asked.
"Happy?" Xu Shuangchuan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, "I'm distressed, pray that they behave well, don't give me a problem, that's my next stage of data sources, carefully raised for a long time, you pay attention not to touch them." ”
Saying this, she smiled, turned her head and whispered to Xiaoshu, "I'll bring my father to see you." ”
Chen Chi counted the tall and low tree babies in the room, and looked at the busy appearance of the person who claimed to be his mother, helplessly funny, swept away his sorrow, and was happy.
When I came out of the greenhouse, it was not early outside, and there were not many students walking around in the laboratory building.
"Frost, water it early in the future, it's not good to go back too late."
"It's just going to fix this time period." Xu Shuangchuan said disapprerovantly, she usually stays in school after watering to surf the Internet, these days Chen Chi comes, she plans to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables, so she accompanies Chen Chi to go back early.
Chen Chi was pushing his bicycle with a shopping bag hanging in the back seat, and Xu Shuangchuan walked next to him, twittering, "Are you bored at school today?" Don't come out with me tomorrow, stay home and get some sleep. ”
Chen Chi asked, "Have you asked your classmates?" Is there anyone who wants to share a house? ”
"I asked, my classmates asked my classmates, why is it so fast." Xu Shuangchuan reported.
The sunset followed them, shining on the large cabbage on the car, leaving a golden mark that shook from time to time, and in the whispering sound of the two, it was very tranquil.
Chen Chi likes to accompany Xu Shuangchuan on the road like this, this is the feeling of two people together.
When I arrived at Qian's house, I opened the door, the first thing was the smell of food, and after greeting the landlord and his wife, I walked in the living room, and I smelled the smell of smoke that I couldn't get rid of, and when I went upstairs, Xu Shuangchuan explained softly: "Let's wait a little longer and go cook." ”
Chen Chi sat at the end of the bed, Xu Shuangchuan moved the chair and put it next to him, and the two continued to chat against the open balcony door.
The clouds on the horizon were big and rolling, first the blue sky and white clouds were clearly contrasted, and slowly, the blue sky was gray. The church bell rang slowly, and Chen Chi looked at the pot of orchids on the balcony floor, the long and narrow leaves fluttering gently in the evening breeze.
Everything seems so relaxed. "Hungry?" Chen Chi asked softly, "Take a biscuit and eat it?" ”
Xu Shuangchuan smiled and shook his head. "What about you?"
Chen Chi also shook his head with a smile, he was pulled by Xu Shuang's hand, leaned over and shook his head to study his palm prints, listening to her talk about some small gossip such as lifeline and career line, killing the time of waiting.
The two sat for an hour and went downstairs, Mr. Qian was used to having an extra Chen Chi in the house, and soon returned to normal, glancing at them and watching TV by himself.
Chen Chi saw Xu Shuang's daily dining scene. The landlord and his family gathered in the hall, Huang Jie kept asking for warmth, and from time to time handed a fruit to make a cup of ginseng tea. There is a passage behind the sofa that separates the living room from the dining table. People are there, except for the occasional conversation, that is, the river water does not interfere with the well water. Xu Shuangchuan talked to him at the dinner table, subconsciously suppressed his voice, served him vegetables, came over silently with chopsticks, pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes seemed to be able to speak, but he felt sorry for no reason.
At night, Chen Chi fell asleep very late, he listened to the footsteps in the stairwell at one or two o'clock in the morning, and listened to the doors of the master bedroom and bathroom next door opening and closing, tightening the frost and scorching, and it was difficult to suppress the anxiety.
The change of accommodation did not go so smoothly, at least not within a few days of his arrival. Chen Chi felt uncomfortable when he thought that after he left, Xu Shuangchuan would have to stay alone in this house full of smoke that couldn't hide the strange sound.
Xu Shuang in her sleep breathed lightly and snuggled sweetly beside him, Chen Chi stared at her blurred eyebrows, and understood very well that he forced her to this cheap and restless corner. His blue-gray soft-shell crab, simple and elegant, lively and agile among the small trees in the greenhouse, hid here, disturbed by this, and was stuffy alone, never mentioned to him.
