17. Chapter 17

Chen Lou touched his trouser pocket, pinched out a cigarette case, fortunately, there was still the last cigarette left, lit it, and took two puffs in the corridor before slowly spitting it out.

The smoke ring floated into a complete circle in mid-air, Chen Lou squinted, his tongue flicked slightly, and then spit out two small circles, one by one. His technique of spitting smoke rings is a must, and he occasionally performs to make the little girl happy, but the smoking time is not long.

Thinking about it now, some of the things in the previous life have begun to blur, Chen Lou can't remember what happened to the first cigarette at the beginning, he only vaguely remembers that it was needed for work, and he was choked into his lungs for a long time because he couldn't smoke. The reason why there were more of them later was actually deliberate. At that time, he just thought, Lu Hening doesn't smoke, if he has a strong smell of smoke on his body, then Guan Yu won't admit his mistake.

It's really naΓ―ve to think about it now, but once the addiction to smoking rises, it's hard to quit later.

Chen Lou pinched the last bit of cigarette butt, and after taking two more puffs, he threw it on the ground and twisted it with his foot. The phone let out a faint whining and automatically turned off with a chirp. Ning Shan heard him call clearly in the house, and persuaded guiltily: "Teacher Chen, go back, I'm really fine." I'll just think it's a mad dog. ”

Chen Lou pressed it a few times on his mobile phone, saw that there was no response, threw it in his pocket, turned his head and asked through the door, "This person often comes?" ”

"It's not ......," Ning Shan said, "when my mother and my brother are not at home...... He came here once last year and almost came in, and I broke his finger with the security door, maybe he has been angry, right? ”

"Didn't call the police?" Chen Lou swept his body, frowned and asked, "What if your brother didn't say it?" ”

"It's reported, it's useless. The first time it was dark in the hallway, I didn't see his appearance. Later, he didn't come at the same time, I reported twice, and the first time the police couldn't find a place and asked me to go down to pick them up from downstairs...... And then that time...... I just came in and asked questions, didn't remember anything, and left. Ning Shan picked the first question and answered, and only answered the second sentence after a while, "My brother...... I didn't sue him. ”

Chen Lou: "......"

No wonder, Ning Shan, a person who protects her sister, can let such a thing happen, and she is still working outside until midnight. It's just that he can also understand Ning Shan's concerns, their family is old and weak, women and children, only this brother is the pillar, earning money and housekeeping, if he knows about this, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not risk his life to beat people to death like himself.

When the time comes, if the bad guy is beaten, her brother will definitely not be good. If his brother can't be beaten and someone beats him up, it's even more troublesome.

――

Ning Shan suddenly snorted, and it seemed that she had called her brother's phone. Chen Lou waited for a while, and sure enough, he heard her say, "Teacher Chen, my brother is almost downstairs." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then I," Chen Lou thought for a while and said, "I have something to do, go first, you lock the door." ”

"Hey, I didn't let you in to rest." Ning Shan felt a little guilty, suddenly remembered the contents of the refrigerator, and asked again: "Hey Teacher Chen, is the cake made tomorrow?" ”

"Tomorrow." Chen Lou put the stool against the wall and instructed: "Lock the door." ”

The elevator quickly went up, Chen Lou frowned at the elevator entrance, hesitated, and retreated.

According to Ning Shan's habit, she will tell his brother if she is choked up tonight. It's just that Chen Lou beat someone up tonight, and if it's good, the other party will retreat and come to harass him less in the future. If it's not good, it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't wait for an opportunity to retaliate. The little girl may not be able to think of this, after all, she is a few years older, and it is better to have more mouths when she thinks about it.

Chen Lou wrapped his clothes, buttoned his hat on his head, leaned against the wall and continued to wait.

The elevator rose and fell, and twice people came out during the period, and they were startled by him. Chen Lou didn't bother to explain, and when he stared at it and saw that it was a woman, he closed his eyes and continued to rest against the wall.

I don't know how long it took, the elevator began to sway upward, Chen Lou had a hunch in his heart, when the elevator door opened, a man came out.

To be exact, a very young man, dressed in a suit with a bit of a woody scent on his body.

"Mr. Ning," Chen Lou shouted, "Please stay." ”

The light in the elevator was very weak, and when the man came out, he lowered his head and looked at his phone, Chen Lou only saw his dress and figure, and then the other party turned back to him in surprise, and only then did he see the other party's straight nose and thin lips. Chen Lou was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and his heart couldn't help but jump suddenly.

"Teacher Chen?"

The other party seemed a little surprised, but he still smiled very well, and politely stretched out his right hand.

Chen Lou frowned, waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I have something important." ”

He took a deep breath, paused, and talked about tonight's events, emphasizing the general figure of the man, and finally said: "This person is not the first time to come, no matter how specific you are, you should go back and ask your sister, I tell you that I hope you will pay a little attention in the future, don't work too late, the little girl is not safe at home." The second is that you are in the open and in the dark, so you should pay more attention to it and beware of his retaliation. ”

Ning Shan's brother was really shocked, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. Chen Lou was irritable for no reason, seeing that no one had moved the elevator, he still stopped on this floor, and said, "I'll go first, goodbye." He pressed it straight in.

――

He rode all the way home, the road was full of potholes, he didn't know if he hit the eggs, and his mind was full of colds, like a bottle of peppermint oil stuffed into it.

Ning Shan's brother is very good-looking.

has a good figure, and looks about the same height as himself, but with just two simple eyes, Chen Lou compares that other people's legs are longer than his own.

The skin is good, the light of the elevator is as dark as a ghost fire, and I can even see the soft light on his face.

Will spray perfume, the smell is light and not pungent, the key is not good, I usually don't spray anything, and in the summer, I am full of the smell of the six gods, and I know what the origin is when I smell it.

Suits, ties, coffee powder, high-end shoeboxes......

-- Lu Hening.

Chen Lou kept his head down, but he didn't go upstairs after returning to his residence, he walked around the community by himself, and finally found a stone bench to sit on.

The stone bench was very cold, and you could feel the chill under your butt even if you kept warm. The wind was also very cold, and he drilled into his neck in a different way, Chen Lou twisted his buttocks, stretched out his hand to rest under his buttocks, and shrunk his neck, so he didn't move.

He was a little cold, and he felt that this posture of curling his neck was particularly safe. Even at this moment, he thought very inappropriately, no wonder there is a word called a turtle with a shrunken head, the head is about the weakness of the animal, and when it is shrunk, it will have a sense of security. In addition to the tortoise, there was also an ostrich, anxious, and arched its head into the sand, showing its big ass to the outside. Others look stupid, but in the ostrich's heart, at least there is a little comfort at that moment.

Thinking about it this way, it suddenly feels a little funny.

When he and Guan Yu went to the zoo together, he once laughed at the ostrich and said that after so many years of evolution, people have just learned to walk on their hind limbs and take their faces instead of their faces. Take this ostrich as an example, when he deceived himself, he hid his face, but people are different, when people deceive themselves, their faces are extraordinarily big, and they wish that everyone around them were fools.

Guan Yu knew that he was double-faced, but he didn't answer. At that time, Guan Yu's Qi cultivation kung fu had already gone up, and Chen Lou couldn't anger him, even if he pointed at the red-crowned crane and called the red-crowned bird, he just smiled helplessly.

Chen Lou was inexplicably angry, and continued to threaten: "People like me Chen Lou can't be provoked by ordinary people. I won't be cowardly when I encounter an enemy, and I will go up and kill him directly! ”

When he said this, he never expected that there would be this day - he and Lu Hening looked at each other, and the other party was polite and called him Teacher Chen. And he had a lot of fun in his heart, and finally told the other party, you have been paying attention to safety recently.

――

Chen Lou slept very late that day, and only remembered to charge his mobile phone when he got up in the morning. When the red hair made the last phone call last night, he said that he was downstairs, Chen Lou thought he was joking at first, and when he came back and saw a bunch of things in the living room, he knew that the other party was really in a hurry to move in, and he might not be able to call himself in the end, and found the key that another household wanted.

For this new neighbor, Chen Lou didn't like it very much, and always felt that the red hair was too eye-catching. But the house is too dilapidated, and now it's thankful that he can rent it out, and he doesn't have much room to pick and choose.

Chen Lou sat on the head of the bed, rubbed his face, took out the deposit given by Hongmao, and put all his bank cards at the head of the bed one by one, and began to check his balance on the Internet.

The most money in a few β–‘β–‘ is five figures, which is an account that he regularly deposits money in, usually does not take it and only save, and the rest of the cards are three or two hundred, and there are dozens of them, patchwork together, and it is not a small amount.

Guan Yu has contributed a lot to this, and he can do it to give 5,000 for one night. Chen Lou estimated that Guan Yu came out to rent a house this time, and he must have rented an apartment like the one in the previous life, the kind with complete water, electricity, heating, furniture and appliances, and their house was quite luxurious back then, Guan Yu was raised like a young master and couldn't endure hardship, Chen Lou loved to drink water and didn't care about money, and the two of them moved out because of financial difficulties after living for a year.

This time, Guan Yu took the initiative to rent a house and proposed that Chen Lou didn't need to spend a penny, from the bottom of his heart, Chen Lou was really excited. It's just that he knows better in his heart that if this continues, it will be difficult for him and Guan Yu to break off. Especially after chatting with Guan Feng, Chen Lou was even more sure that Guan Feng had already doubted his younger brother, and had even locked the target. If the two live together, maybe they will be caught and raped according to the script of the previous life that day.

Although Chen Lou loves money, he will never risk his life. Thinking about it, it's better to let Guan Yu go to Lu Hening.

It's just that I don't know if Guan Yu knows that Lu Hening has returned.

In the previous life, Guan Yu knew that Lu Hening came back for the New Year, and there was still a month to count. Chen Lou remembered that Ning Shan had also said at the beginning that his brother would come back at the end of the year, and she was also surprised to come back early this time.

Chen Lou couldn't figure out whether the development of things was different from that of the previous life, or whether the information he knew in the previous life was incomplete. Because according to Guan Yu himself, after they were together, he and Lu Hening only met twice in the first year, the first time was during the Chinese New Year, Lu Hening had just come back from the field, they met by chance in the mall and drank a cup of coffee together, the second time was the graduation season of the coming year, when they took graduation photos, Lu Hening was drunk at the casual dinner, Guan Yu sent people to the hotel and stayed all night.

In fact, when these things are seriously considered, it is difficult to say whether they are right or wrong. Back then, many people said that Chen Lou said that you are really making a fuss, Guan Yu is a principled person, and he will definitely not do anything about sleeping with Lu Hening. The two met and chatted, saying that it was okay for old friends to reunite and reminisce. It's hard for a woman to be so strict with her husband, not to mention that you're just a boyfriend who has just been dating.

But the more others persuaded him, the more difficult it was for Chen Lou to look away. He minded the past three years, and even more minded that he gave up this and that, and ended up being a stand-in.

Guan Yu's past can't be erased, Chen Lou can't see it, and the relationship during that time was simply sick.

Every time the two quarreled, Chen Lou was aggrieved and regretful, and sometimes annoyed that he was not angry, thinking to himself why did you provoke him, and now he is still with you; Sometimes sad, he is so fierce to you, if it is Lu Hening, he will definitely not be reluctant.

After that, Chen Lou even refined it for a while. He smiled and said that he no longer minded Lu Henaning's affairs, he said that he was too narrow-minded and sensitive, and he would have to correct it in the future and live a good life with Guan Yu. Sometimes when the two of them sat at home and didn't have much to say, Chen Lou would even take the initiative to mention Lu Hening to ease the atmosphere.

Such days didn't last too long, once Chen Lou took the initiative to mention Lu Hening, Guan Yu went on to say a few words, but Chen Lou couldn't pretend that day, and he lost his temper halfway.

Guan Yu was scolded inexplicably, and Chen Lou said in a hurry: Who rarely mentions him! Who likes him, am I sick, I treat my rival as a good person! I wish his life belonged to the driver who caused the accident, you two get down and be a bitter mandarin duck! Guan Yu, you are not disgusting, do you know that the look on your face when you say the three words Lu Hening, you are going to be in waves!

Guan Yu was angry, pointing at him for a long time and not being able to speak. Chen Lou felt that he was disappointed in the dark room.

The two went from being intimate to gradually estranged, and it was not the fault of one person. Chen Lou has suffered more than these injuries, and the quarrel and anger that Guan Yu suffered are enough to repay. It's just that emotional things are really hard to talk about, and when you can't see clearly, you always feel pain, and when you really see clearly, you will inevitably despair.

――

Chen Lou pressed the hang-up button of the mobile phone, and when he barely turned it on, he listened to the text message notifications and jumped in. Almost all of them are call reminders from red hair, and the last two are "Xiao Ning". Chen Lou hesitated for a moment, and then saw another text message pop in.

[Xiao Ning] - Are you home? Worry about your safety.

Chen Lou: "......"

He hesitated for a long time, withdrew from the text message and clicked on it, and finally replied: "The phone is out of battery, I just saw it." ”

After the text message was sent, there was no news, presumably Lu Hening went to work again. Although Chen Lou was not as resentful as expected, embarrassing feelings were inevitable. After thinking about it, Jue edited Xiao Ning's remarks and changed them to QD, which means the new "Biquge www.biquge.info".

When QD called, Chen Lou was about to call Ning Shan and say that he was just going to make a cake.

"Teacher Chen?" QD didn't mind that the phone rang for the third time before it was connected, and only smiled and said, "Ning Shan and I are downstairs from you." ”

"Downstairs?" Chen Lou was stunned for a moment, jumped up and went to the window to look, Ning Shan was really looking up and smiling at him.

"No, why are you two here?" Chen Lou was stunned, and the pestle raised his hand stiffly at the window and waved.

As soon as he waved his hand, Lu Hening seemed to notice it, immediately raised his head, smiled at him, and then said into the microphone: "I'm afraid you won't be able to go today, I'll block you!" ”
