Chapter 3: The Naughty Ghost (3)
Today, Hayama Lan's mood fluctuates a lot.
When she first came to this town, the bluestone pavement, the hazy drizzle, an oil-paper umbrella, a small wooden bridge, the shadows of the stacked boats, and the fragrance of the rain made her completely drunk in this ancient scenery. After walking into Yulin Street, Ye Shanlan's mood was lowered, this is a decaying street, decaying buildings, decaying pavement, decaying corridors...... Ever since she had entered the neighborhood, she felt like she was overwhelmed by the smell of decay, which even gave her some kind of hallucination, the girl in the red dress hanging from the street lamp was pale and her lips were purple; The old man who had been starved to death lying on the seat of the road was skinny, ribs could be clearly seen on his chest, his hands were large, but only a layer of skin remained, stretched forward in a special way, as if trying to grasp the last of life; The trees beside the road were full of stumps, with all kinds of viscera, severed limbs, and from time to time you could see a hideously twisted, dead head; The road was filled with many milky white translucent souls, men and women, old and young, their eyes slowly drifting with dull eyes. Hayama Lan was frightened by the terrifying atmosphere of the neighborhood, especially when she walked into the building of No. 17, this feeling was even stronger, and she felt an ominous feeling enveloping her.
Fortunately, this bad mood did not last forever, and after entering his new home, Ye Shanlan's mood improved. As soon as she closed the door, she completely blocked the cold wind from outside, although it was summer, she had been walking in the rain for a long time, half of her body was already soaked, and it was still quite cold when the wind blew. The room was nicely decorated, with warm colors all day long, giving it a very comfortable feeling. There was a scarlet carpet on the floor, and it was soft to step on, and the sofa was reddish-brown, she didn't really like this color, but the sofa was really good there, the wallpaper was yellow, but it wasn't bright, it was a little dark, and there was a hazy beauty around it.
Xu Bing sat on the sofa and said, "Briefly introduce, this is a two-bedroom living room, with a small kitchen and a small bathroom, that bathroom is really small, it can't even fit a bathtub, only a shower." Speaking of this, Xu Bing's tone is not very good, after a busy day of work and study, isn't it the desire of every girl to soak in the warm bathtub full of colorful bubbles?
Ye Shanlan stood there a little embarrassed, her clothes were wet, and she didn't know where she should sit.
After a while, Xu Bing noticed that she smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry to let you listen to me complain here, I'm tired all the way, this bedroom is yours, put your luggage away, and take a good shower It will be very comfortable." ”
Under the guidance of Xu Bing, Ye Shanlan walked into her own bedroom, the furnishings of the bedroom were very simple, a new bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a small wardrobe with two doors in the corner.
Xu Bing stood at the door, pointing and introducing: "There is a socket in the corner next to the table, but there is only one, it is best to buy a power strip, and there is a network cable, the speed is okay, the bedding is prepared by the landlord, it is very thin, and it is not new, if you don't like it, you can buy another set." There's a market on the south side of town that sells this, it's of good quality and it's cheap, you can call me if you need it, I've bought one there before. ”
"Okay, thanks." Ye Shanlan said gratefully, when she first came to a strange place, it would be a lot less trouble if someone was willing to help.
Xu Bing waved his hand, signaling that he was not so polite, and said, "Okay, don't bother." With that, he turned and left.
This is a straightforward girl, and at the same time has a good tutor, Ye Shanlan noticed that Xu Bing has been standing at the door, obviously, she knows that the bedroom is a very private place, and she will not enter casually without the consent of the owner. Everyone is an adult and needs their own private space, this right should be respected, and this roommate should be easier to get along with.
Ye Shanlan opened the suitcase, took out all the clothes, simply packed up, picked up a change of clothes and toiletries, and walked towards the bathroom.
After taking a comfortable bath, Ye Shanlan wrapped a bath towel and returned to her bedroom, and after a while, she poked her head out of the crack in the door and said to her roommate who was watching TV: "Xu Bing, do you have a hair dryer?" The one I brought with me seems to be broken. ”
Xu Bing was startled by the sudden voice, bounced up directly, stopped for a few seconds before relieving, patted his chest and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get it." ”
Ye Shanlan looked at Xu Bing's figure and was a little puzzled, as for being scared like that? Could it be that she is watching a horror movie? No, it sounds like it's a super boring idol drama.
Without waiting for Ye Shanlan to continue to diverge his thinking, Xu Bing brought the hair dryer over. She took the hair dryer with one hand, and it almost didn't fall to the ground, it was very old-fashioned, iron, very heavy. It's so inconvenient to use, no wonder there are so many new old and new fall marks.
Blowing dry her hair, Ye Shanlan changed into light blue pajamas, walked out of the bedroom, and sat side by side on the sofa with Xu Bing.
Xu Bing got up and took two cans of drinks from the refrigerator in the corner, opened one can, and put the other can in front of Ye Shanlan, and said, "Why did you change your pajamas and don't plan to go out?" It's only eight o'clock. ”
Ye Shanlan asked, "What are you doing out there?" She picked up the can on the coffee table and looked at it, it was a can of beer, and it was rare for a girl to drink beer as a drink.
"Let's go out to dinner." Xu Bing took a sip, saw that Ye Shanlan just picked up the can of beer, but did not open it, and said, "What, can't you get used to this?" ”
Ye Shanlan smiled, put the beer back on the coffee table, and said, "This one is too calortic, I've been losing weight recently." ”
"Lose weight? On a diet? This is not reliable, not only is it easy to rebound, but it is also unhealthy, and to be honest, exercise is the best way to lose weight. Xu Bing said, as if in order to prove her point, she took another big sip of beer, twisted her waist and said, "Look at me, I never grieve my stomach for the sake of losing weight, but my figure is still very good." ”
Ye Shanlan leaned back on the sofa and said lazily: "Theoretically, this is the case, but for a lazy person like me, it is better to pay attention to your diet, this is the most suitable way to lose weight, relying on this method, I have successfully maintained my weight at about 100." ”
Looking at Ye Shanlan's weak look, Xu Bing said helplessly: "Okay, if you insist on thinking so, but exercise is really interesting, sweating, let the toxins in the body be completely drained, and then take a bath, you will really feel a lot more relaxed." ”
Ye Shanlan adjusted her sitting posture and said, "Okay, I'll try it, I only eat a small bowl of vegetable salad at night, do you want one?" ”
Xu Bing stood up and said, "No, I'm a meatless foodie, I'm going out to eat, see you later." ”
"See you later." Ye Shanlan responded, this conversation was a little awkward and unnutritious, but it could be seen that the two of them were trying to find some topics, after all, they were going to live together for a while.
Maybe it was because he had been sitting for a long time, Xu Bing stood up and rose up.
Xu Bing was wearing a red shirt, but there was a dark black spot on the lower shoulder, and Ye Shanlan asked, "Xu Bing, what is on your clothes?" ”
Xu Bing was stunned for a moment, grabbed his clothes and turned his head to look at it, and said, "Oh, this should be ketchup, forget it, no matter what, no one will notice it when it's so dark, come back and wash it again." With that, he walked out of the room.
