An Yao, who was struggling to move a chair out of the bedroom, heard a knock on the door, and his little face turned pale with fright, "It's over." ”

Xia Ruxuan glanced at her inexplicably, and whispered, "What?" ”

"Maybe someone just came back with me, what should I do?" An Yao put down his chair and cried with a sad face, anxiously crying.

Bang bang bang! Seeing that no one answered, the man at the door knocked hard again.

"No, everyone is there, why do you want to ask people to follow you again?" Xia Ruxuan glanced at her.

"I don't know...... Don't ask me...... When I first came back, I felt like someone was following me,......" Xia Ruxuan shrugged his shoulders and turned to Yin Xia, whose face was obviously a lot calmer, as if Yin Xia always seemed to be particularly reading and mature, unless he was facing a situation that he really couldn't face, such as the nightclub that night.

Even on that winter night in 2011, Xia Ruxuan's head was blank under extreme sorrow and said such hurtful words, she would not cry, make trouble and hang herself like a little woman, in a sense, this is why the cynical Xia Ruxuan can accept a person by his side for so long, if it was really a little woman, with Xia Ruxuan's surname at the time, she would have slipped away a long time ago, "Yin Xia, ask who it is." You can't let people knock on the door like this...... A few more hard knocks will be knocked open. ”

"Open the door, the lights are on, don't pretend that no one is there!" A somewhat fierce male voice came in from outside the door, making Xia Ruxuan frown for a while, could it be that when someone in that group was willing to play such an unskilled trick as stalking others home to get money?

just turned her head and looked at the little girl An Yao, but the girl didn't seem to be as nervous as she was just now when she heard this voice, but Yin Xia was a little embarrassed, and she sat there and didn't move or get up, which made Xia Ruxuan confused for a while.

The man at the door slapped the door again.

Yin Xia had no choice but to drag away the chair and stand up, walked to the door and unlocked the door, and then opened the door, and a middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears and a fierce face stood at the door wearing a pair of flip-flops and stood with his waist crossed.

"Why, you still want to pretend that no one is there without naming names?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

"No......" Yin Xia stood at the door and smiled awkwardly, "It's just that you didn't speak at first, and you don't know who it was." ”

"Don't quibble with me." The middle-aged man stood at the door with a horizontal face.

Xia Ruxuan frowned and looked at the man who was drinking fiercely at Yin Xia, and he didn't figure out what the situation was for a while. It seems that it should not be the person who gambles over there.

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, Yin Xia didn't answer, he raised his head and glanced inside, and saw Xia Ruxuan immediately raised his eyebrows, "Who is that man, when I rented a house for you, didn't you make it clear that you can only live here with two girls, and you can't just bring men in to live?" What, you don't want to live? ”

The middle-aged man straightened his face and stood there, a pair of Xia Ruxuan's obscene eyes glanced at him - it turned out to be the landlord, Xia Ruxuan thought with a calm face, but the landlord couldn't do this. Xia Ruxuan had a few points in his heart, and the landlord's attitude like scolding his grandson also made him a little annoyed, and he stood up and looked at the man, "What is it that you are a big man bullying a little girl here, and you will be scolded if you live in your house?" ”

"Heh, now the hairy boy is really rushing," the man glanced at him with a frown, "They live in this house, and they still owe me rent, why can't I say a few words?" ”

Xia Ruxuan opened his mouth and just wanted to confront the other party for a few words, but Yin Xia pulled Xia Ruxuan violently, and she smiled with her, "Uncle Tang...... This is my friend, just here for a meal...... If you give the rent a period of time, you will definitely make up for it within this month. ”

Seeing that Yin Xia's attitude was quite sincere, the landlord's originally flat face looked a little better, but he glanced at Xia Ruxuan with suspicion, "Your friend, then forget it." Don't forget to bring men back for the night. If you don't have the money to pay the rent by the end of this month, you're ready to pack up and leave, and I'm going to go to the agent to register......"

Xia Ruxuan's face sank suddenly, "How much?" He glanced at the other party lightly. The words of packing up and leaving made him feel awkward when he heard it.

"What?" He obviously didn't react to Xia Ruxuan's meaning.

"How much rent does she owe you?"

The landlord was a little stunned, "There are still seven hundred." ”

Xia Ruxuan's face was indifferent, and he took out his wallet from his pocket without changing his face, and the thick wad of money in it made Yin Xia feel a little dazzling.

An Yao, who was behind him, was also stunned and speechless for a while, Xia Ruxuan took out seven sheets and handed them to the other party, "What about the receipt." ”

The other party obviously didn't expect to receive this poor rent today, and the receipt was not ready, and the voice was not so loud and embarrassed, "I'll go up and write, and I'll take it down later." ”

He turned around and stepped on flip-flops and went upstairs.

“…… I'll figure out how to get the money back to you in a few days. Yin Xia pursed her lips, she didn't seem to be so happy about Xia Ruxuan's initiative to help, in fact, she thought about it, it made no difference to her whether she helped or not, at most it was just a while. And it's a personal favor.

"Whew...... Scared the hell out of me. An Yao let out a long breath and stroked his small breasts up and down with his hands, "I thought someone was coming with me." "It looked like a complete sigh of relief.

"It's okay now." Yin Xia turned around and scooped up the fried vegetables in the pot, and saw that Xia Ruxuan was still standing at the door, "It's all ready, let's eat, I'm thinking about it after eating." Looking at Xia Ruxuan's complicated expression on her well-defined face, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Xia Ruxuan came back to his senses and quickly shook his head, "Let's eat, I'll taste your skills." ”

"The best things we make in Natsu!" An Yao leaned over, "It's even better than the restaurants outside, if she becomes a chef, those 'chefs' in our school cafeteria will be laid off." ”

Suddenly, An Yao's eyes rolled, "Why don't you buy this table of dishes and invite us to eat...... I'll sell it to you for fifty dollars. ”

"Don't be poor." Yin Xia tapped An Yao's forehead, pointed his finger at his chin and looked up and thought, "If the rent money slows down, I will definitely be able to make up eight hundred yuan today." Hearing this, An Yao's mood that had just eased up a little sank again.

Seeing her appearance, Xia Ruxuan suddenly felt a lot of trouble in his heart, and everything he came into contact with today was churning in his mind.

Is this Yin Xia's life before - when he complained that he was controlled by his family and couldn't find himself, when he was having fun everywhere, cynical and naïve, and against his family, when he wasted a lot of money every day, and did whatever he wanted, but still shouted loudly that this was not the life I wanted, Yin Xia was living...... That's how life is.

Fried a few dishes on the table, all very homely, tomatoes scrambled eggs, green pepper fried pork slices, mushrooms and small greens; Then I made a loofah shredded meat soup, a very simple and refreshing dish, Xia Ruxuan took chopsticks and ate the vegetables, "Yin Xia, you live now...... What do you think? After thinking for a while, he suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Yin Xia seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly raised his head when he heard Xia Ruxuan's question, "It's good." ”

"Well, that's good." In fact, Xia Ruxuan himself didn't know why he asked such a question just now, no matter who no one knew how to answer. In fact, no matter what the answer is, Xia Ruxuan has no way to change anything.

"Are you afraid that Uncle Tang will bully us?" Yin Xia suddenly spoke, "I won't pull it, in fact, Uncle Tang is usually very good, I don't know what happened to him today, he still takes care of me and An Yao, otherwise we wouldn't have delayed the rent for two months." It's just that sometimes it's a little mean in his mouth.

Since we moved here in June, we have been dragging the rent since we paid the deposit, and we are embarrassed to ourselves, we just made up some of the rent in August some time ago, and now we are worse than these...... In fact, it's been more than a month since I said that I want to go to the intermediary to register and let us go, but there is still nothing at all. ”

"Well, it's nothing, you just need to get used to it. I'm done eating, and I'm going outside to stand up. Xia Ruxuan finished eating the rice in the bowl and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Walked to the door, put on his shoes, then walked down the hallway and lit a cigarette.

The door was closed and cut off from the warmth inside, and the light of the fire became the only light source in the dimly lit hallway, and the electric light overhead seemed to be useless for a long time, in disrepair, and no one would take the initiative to change the bulb.

Suddenly there was a sound of stamping downstairs from upstairs, and as soon as I heard it, I knew it was the sound of slippers. Fortunately, the lights on the upper floor were on, and Xia Ruxuan could see at a glance that it was the landlord with a fierce face.

He walked down with a receipt, and when he saw Xia Ruxuan standing at the door, he was obviously stunned, looking a little embarrassed, "Are you Yin Xia's friend?" ”

"Or else?" Xia Ruxuan glanced at him coldly and looked at the other party carefully, but at this time, the man completely lost the fierce and vicious appearance just now, and then he realized that he was just a little fierce.

The other party didn't say much, walked to Xia Ruxuan's side and lit a cigarette, and then handed one to Xia Ruxuan, Xia Ruxuan didn't answer, so he shrugged his shoulders and stuffed the cigarette into the cigarette case, "I'm sorry just now, my tone is not very good...... Two months ago, I saw a news that a single girl in this area was robbed, and she was in her apartment, and the criminal directly threatened the girl to enter the apartment. It was about evening, and I heard that I met a lot of residents in the same building, but no one noticed the vision, because the girl was very introverted and didn't have any contact with others. ”

Xia Ruxuan frowned, not knowing what the other party was talking about.

"These two little girls rarely interact with the residents of the same building, I will pay attention to it when I live upstairs, and I didn't think much about it when I saw you and Yin Xia walk in in the afternoon, and then I heard the other little girl crying from the window, so I came down to take a look. A ruthless attitude can be considered a bit of courage for yourself, haha. The middle-aged man smiled, "You're Yin Xia's boyfriend?" ”

Xia Ruxuan didn't give an answer, and after listening to the other party's words, he took out his cigarette and handed it to the other party.

"Such a good cigarette, it has to be saved, I'm used to cheap cigarettes, this is not used to smoking." Uncle Tang looked at Xia Ruxuan and handed over the cigarette, carefully took it, and put it on his ear. It's a bit funny to look at the embarrassed smile on his seemingly fierce face.
