Chapter 60: Be a Neighbor

The two returned to the living room, and Gao Min asked Shu Nee if she could borrow her bathroom, saying that she wanted to clean her mouth after breakfast just now.

The bathroom is adjacent to the cloakroom, and as he passed, Gao Min glanced at the large area of lotus white wardrobe, champagne gold mirror dressing table, upholstered French pedals, white sheepskin blanket, and red swan chandelier...... He had never liked this kind of unfocused chaos of elements, but only now did he realize that his preferences were also tendentious, and if the owner of the house was Shu Neem, he would find her apartment decorated with playful and lovely, and nothing bad at all.

Isn't it appropriate to respect a friend's taste?

Coming to the entrance of the bathroom, Shu Neem stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Mr. Gao, you want to brush your teeth, there is an unopened spare toothbrush in the cabinet, take it yourself, if you rinse your mouth, do you see, the green bottle on the left side of the sink is mouthwash, and there is also dental floss, in the black storage box against the wall, oh, by the way, the new towel is in the drawer"

Gao Min nodded at her and walked into the bathroom, and slipped away with a sense of humor, maybe Gao always needed to metabolize, in order to avoid embarrassment, she better leave quietly.

Listening to Shu Neem's footsteps, Gao Min smiled unconsciously, there is no better reflection of a person's life than the washstand, and the first thing he noticed was that there was no male product, and her shoe cabinet full of women's shoes corroborated each other, proving that her private life was insulated from the opposite sex, as a friend, it felt a little complicated, I don't know whether to be happy or worry about her.

Shu Neem sat on the sofa and picked up a magazine to flip through it.

"Are you looking at National Geographic?"

Smelling the familiar smell of lime, Shu Nee turned her head, Gao Min stood behind the sofa, leaned over to look at the magazine in her hand, and read out the title: "Qili Psychedelic, discover the granite landscape of the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang - the stone city that swallows the wilderness, do you want to organize a trip to the places mentioned in the article?" ”

"In terms of tourism, I compare Ye Gong Haolong, the text and the beautiful scenery under the photographer's lens is the Altai in my mind, I am really immersive, I may feel that the sky is not so blue, the water is not so green, and the gravel is not so red"

"The impact of intuitive feeling is definitely stronger than reading"

Shu Neem didn't want to argue with him, so she asked with a smile: "How do you use the mouthwash?" ”

"It's refreshing and not exciting, I'm also considering changing to your brand", Gao Min said and walked around the sofa, sat on the single sofa next to Shu Neem, looked at the thick stack of magazines on the coffee table and asked, "If I didn't come today, would you plan to read magazines at home?" Then I'm not bothering you."

You just thought of it? Shu Neem pursed his lips secretly, "Don't you just pass the time, what's the matter", I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, there is really no end to the hypocrisy of human beings.

Gao Min knew that her duplicity was not exposed, and turned to appreciate her light gold luxury stainless steel mirror coffee table, it seems that his friend not only likes big-eyed men but also loves local tyrant gold, in exchange for irrelevant people, it is difficult for him to praise this kind of exaggeration, but he is tolerant of neem, his eyes have their own filters, and he actively looks for commendable places, such as using stainless steel ice buckets to make flowers, which is very creative, and the lilac hydrangea complements each other; The white scented candle on the silver-plated candlestick smells pleasant.

Oh – and acoustic guitars! Gao Min got up and walked to the side of the LCD TV, picked up the orange guitar from the piano stand, plucked a few chords, bent his fingers and knocked on the case of the piano, looked up at Shu Neem, smiled and said: "quilt, Gibson xylophone hummingbird version, Adirondack panel, this limited edition piano is not cheap"

"Yes, it's very expensive, when I bought it, I almost spent all my money", Shu Neem approached Gao Min, and his slender fingers caressed the golden piano button and hummingbird pattern lovingly, "I earned 60,000 yuan for the first time in my life, and I bought the acoustic guitar of my dream without any hesitation, and it cost more than 50,000 yuan, and the rest of the money was just enough to pay two months' rent." My mother blamed me for spending money without a plan, in her concept of money should be saved, should not be spent on things other than food, clothing, housing and transportation, she regarded it as a waste, even if I later handed over twice the amount of money to her, she still looked at this piano unpleasantly, saying that I spent money unjustly, and it is estimated that I will be haunted for a lifetime! ”

"Since you buy such an expensive guitar, you probably won't sit idle purely for decoration, how many can you play?"

Shu Neem raised his eyebrows, which means to underestimate me! She held the pillow, took the guitar from Gao Min's hand, turned around and walked back to the sofa and sat down, held the guitar in her arms, pressed the strings with her left hand, and played with her right hand.

Gao Min seemed to reunite with the time that he couldn't go back, and under the sun, he stopped and looked up slightly to feel the breeze on his face......

Shu Neem's right hand swept over the strings, and the last note stopped, like the passage of time, leaving a long trail that drew people back again and again.

The guitar music is warm and beautiful, but there is also a lingering melancholy, Gao Min was stunned for a long time to come back to his senses, the tails of his eyes were raised, his eyes were shining, Shu Neem looked up at him, only to find that Boss Gao had a pair of classical Danfeng eyes, the beauty is quite beautiful, that is, when it is severe, it can make people freeze quickly, and I still can't forget how his cold eyes flashed when he crashed and squinted at her contemptuously.

Gao Min's fingertips swept over the corners of his slanted outer eyes, his smile lines loomed, and his phoenix eyes turned into spring breeze, "I take back what I just said, not only can you play the guitar, but you are also very skilled in playing the guitar, especially the smooth fingers of your right hand...... It can be seen that you have put in hard work."

"Yes, I spend most of my spare time practicing"

"When we were eating in Genting, you said that you were useless, that you couldn't sing, you couldn't dance, you couldn't play the piano...... So now am I hallucinating in my ears, or am I hallucinating in my eyes? ”

Shu Neem put the guitar back on the stand and shrugged his shoulders, "Mr. Gao, you forgot that I mentioned that the time limit was added in the past tense?" I said that when I first went to college, I saw my multi-talented classmates, I realized my limitations, except for my test scores, I didn't have any talents to boast about, and when they shined on stage, I was always an inconspicuous audience in some corner of the stage, maybe because of self-esteem, maybe it was vanity, I joined the classical guitar club"

"Do you like guitars? Why else would you just join the guitar club?"

"I want to learn piano, but isn't it very discouraged to learn an instrument that I can't afford to buy, and the guitar, which is entry-level, doesn't have to reach out to my family to ask for money, and I can afford to work to earn money. The first guitar is less than 1,000 yuan, I learned very hard, but I can't talk about love, I rely on mechanical practice to master the playing skills, but out of society, I like to play the guitar, and I have accumulated a lot of negative feelings xΓΉ need to be channeled, music is a good way to vent, after all, many things are not for outsiders, you need to digest alone, life is long, and it is not bad to have a hobby! ”

Gao Min nodded, he had feelings in this regard, "I started playing the cello when I was five years old, of course, it was not out of my personal will, it was arranged by my mother, she thought that life cannot be without music, life without music will be boring and colorless, a brain with superior intelligence will be a dangerous thing if it does not perceive the beauty of the heart and rich spirit, genius is lonely and extreme, she feels that her son is a genius, and music can just make up for his lack of sensibility!" ”

"Generally, if you are forced by your parents, your child will have a rebellious mentality, so what about Mr. Gao, follow your mother's instructions, practice obediently, or ignore it?"

"When a form of music is enshrined as an enduring classic, even if I hate it, I want to test it myself to see if it's really as boring as I thought, and I don't feel bad after trying it, except that the daily practice makes me feel a little bored, but it's actually okay. It was only after I entered adolescence that I suddenly got tired of playing the cello, and it wasn't until my friend in the United States had a car accident that I gave up the way of high-speed drag racing to release the pressure, picked up the cello again, and even wrote a few cello tunes."

"I'm going to listen to that chance, I don't have much in music, so I'm especially envious of people who can translate inspiration into staves, isn't it a great feeling when composing?

"Nothing special...... It's a momentary feeling, like a sudden burst of rain on a sunny day, the wind passing by on the boulevard, the birdsong in the dark forest, there are too many beautiful moments worth recording, in the form of melody"

Shu Neem's eyes seemed to have discovered a new continent, and there were sparks of surprise, "Mr. Gao, I didn't expect your feelings to be quite delicate and sensitive, I originally thought that people who dominate the world of money would not be touched by foreign objects, and their wrists are tough and decisive without blood and tears, otherwise they will definitely not be able to cope with the bloody and cruel capital market!" But my guess is wrong, Mr. Gao is not what I thought, love rainy days, that is, the sun and rain, occasionally I will see, except for excitement and no other feelings, so I am very much looking forward to the cello song you wrote about sunny and rainy days"

"It seems that we have a deep misunderstanding of each other, when we crashed, I saw you with a mask on your face, I was thinking, this girl must be a horse in her life, she feels like she is completely messed up at will, but after getting to know you, whether it is at work or in life, it has changed my mind, and I am sorry for my preconceived rude judgment"

"What's the matter, it's time to get acquainted again!"

"Would you like to shake hands?"

"It's better to give a high-five."

"It's okay", Gao Min took the lead in raising his palm, and Shu Neem spread out his palm and snapped it.

Gao Min's palm was dry and warm, and his heart shrank when he was excited by Shu Neem's cold hand, and the feeling similar to palpitations appeared for the first time.

He uncomfortably said something to say: "Your hands are cold"

"I'm a low-temperature person, haha, Mr. Gao, your hands are warmer, and it seems that the firepower is stronger than mine!"

"You see that we have re-acquainted, do you want to change your name and try to be as comfortable as possible, you call me Mr. Gao, so I have the illusion that I am still working, how about we call each other by name in private?"

"No, please allow me to refuse, it's still Mr. Gao's name, call your name directly, I don't feel very respectful, of course, you can call my name"

"Okay, we have time to get used to it, by the way, which song did you just play, the melody is very beautiful"

"As sad as an affair"

"Sounds familiar, you've told a lot of stories about your encounters that ended without problems, is it your theme song about encounters played on the guitar?"

"Mr. Gao, I found that you are very sincere, although what I said cannot be said to be false, but you are too serious, if I had creative talent, I would have gone to the music circle a long time ago, this song is Zhong Lifeng, the soundtrack is much better than a simple guitar playing, there are harmonica and accordion plus acoustic guitar, it is really amazing"

"Then I'm going to hear - ah, by the way, I don't know if it's inconvenient to visit your bedroom, I personally think that the bedroom is the most important space in the residence, and a good bedroom can ensure the quality of sleep, so, abruptly make this reluctant request, please don't mind"

"It's not inconvenient, it's just a little messy yet, walk this way, through the living room, at the end of the corridor"

Walking to the bedroom door, Shu Neem gave Gao Min another vaccination, "Please be mentally prepared, I think Virgo will be shocked when she sees it"

"I've always been skeptical of the connection between horoscopes and personalities, but how do you know I'm a Virgo?"

"I've been to DMC twice, and your female staff told me about your September 23rd birthday, standard Virgo, stubborn perfectionist, and enthusiastically reminded me that anything I would use, even as small as a piece of paper, was best put back in its place, because her boss was very detail-oriented, and the slightest change in the slightest change would make his vision unbearable."

"She clearly misunderstood, in order to maintain a high level of productivity, it is necessary to put office supplies in a fixed position to ensure that time is not wasted on finding them, this is a suggestion based on personal experience, not a hard and fast rule, she is serious!"

"Okay", Shu Neem pulled down the carved doorknob, pushed the door open, the dark fragrance floated in the bedroom, the heavy curtain covered the window, in the dim light, Gao Min saw the spinning marquee on the bedside table for the first time, the peacock green ghost jellyfish projection in the darkness like floating in the deep sea, the branches of red coral and the fluttering algae plants created a fantastic underwater world.

"I'm going to turn on the lights," he said, and Shu pressed the switch.

Gao Min opened his mouth slightly, he suspected that he had teleported to the princess room in the Barbie cartoon, yes, the same princess-style bedroom.

The European-style lilac painted gold wainscoting panels hang huge bronze vintage carved mirrors, the circular glazed ceiling is dangling with crystal lamps in the center, the taro purple rhombus Ge Andin upholstered wall is placed with a white carved princess bed, the backrest is piled with feather pillows and pumpkin tassel pillows, the corner of the shiny silver quilt slides down the carpet, and the aromatherapy humidifier on the bedside table spews out a fine white mist......

Shu Neem admired the wonderful expression on Gao Min's face, and the subtle twitching of facial muscles showed that his eyes had been injured by 1,000 points, "Mr. Gao, let's get out of here, I see you can't hold on"

"It's okay, I've lived in a place that is even more unbearable than your bedroom, an old house, nearly a hundred years old, extravagant and gorgeous Regency-style decoration, it's torturous to stay there for a second longer"

"I'm the opposite of you, I especially like the palace style house, I'm fed up with working outside, I'm the king when I come home, of course, how comfortable how to come, how to have an atmosphere and how to decorate, simple style is not my orientation, I always feel that functionality is greater than comfort"

"Looks like you're happy with your room"

"Satisfaction is 70%, my dream house is a 270C transparent glass curtain wall when I open my eyes, and I can bathe in the morning light every morning when I open my eyes. It's a pity that the purse is not enough to drum up, and my generation still needs to work hard! Mr. Gao, you have also visited my house, the structure can be changed, if you are in the same place, I will take you to the property to ask, to see if there is a house for sale"

"I like flats or jumps with a lot of space, and transparency is important as you said"

"Speaking of big, I seem to have more than 280 square meters on the door, when I first bought a house, I heard Mr. Lu say, the strange thing is that it has been vacant, since I moved over, there is no one living on the opposite side"

Gao Min became interested, "Then we can be neighbors who take care of each other."

"Mr. Gao, in modern society, the concept of neighbors no longer exists, even if you live opposite, we still close the door to become unified, why, do you think, we work in different places, and the time after work is not the same, although it is close at hand, but basically it is difficult to meet in a day, what is the difference between it and being far away in the sky!"

"I can still say hello on the weekend, by the way, my cooking skills are good, I have been certified, you know, you are very welcome to taste!"

"Really? So what are you waiting for, let's go to the property now, you know, I am very welcome to be your neighbor! ”

Shu Neem put on an army green bomber cotton jacket, took a wallet, buttoned the cap upside down, stepped on a pedal, and pulled Gao Min downstairs.
