Chapter 6: Midnight
On the rocking chair blown by the breeze, the woman with delicate eyebrows curled up, her eyes closed peacefully, her skin was a little red from the tan, and the white dress was more ruddy and healthy, no longer the sickly pale, surrounded by yellow and purple irises, white lilies and green pothos around her. It's like a princess sleeping in a fairy tale, noble and holy, and everyone who approaches her will unconsciously hold their breath so as not to disturb her, and Ling Ye is one of them.
Ling Ye is a tenant downstairs here, and there are additional conditions for him to live here, the man who rented his house asked him to take care of the vegetables and fruits in the yard and the flowers on this upstairs, and when the owner of this place returned, he would move out immediately, and Ling Ye did not have any displeasure for such conditions. Instead, he thanked the man with gratitude and moved in.
Because Ling Ye knew that this was a woman living alone, although the house downstairs was rented out, it was only for single women, and this time I came here just to see where Xiao Ye had lived before. If he could feel her breath in the house where she lived, then he would be even more satisfied. But Ling Ye also knew in his heart that this was probably impossible, so he didn't have much hope and returned here.
The news of the house for rent was posted in front of the door, Ling Ye just wanted to try again, but he didn't expect the man who happened to come out of here, after listening to his reason, just looked at him in a daze for a while, and agreed to his request, although there were additional conditions, but Ling Ye was still very happy.
What Ling Ye didn't expect was that he could live here for so long, and in his impression, the women who lived here almost never went out. When he came to pick up Xiao Ye, he would occasionally see her on the balcony, smiling very gently at those flowers. Ling Ye thought to himself that she might like flowers very much, so Ling Ye would take time out every day to take care of these flowers and plants, he didn't want their owners to come back and be sad to see them die.
I didn't expect that he would see her when he came up to water today. Looking at her sleeping face, Ling Ye was a little overwhelmed, she really didn't want to wake her up, Ling Ye was about to go downstairs first, but she didn't expect the phone to ring at this time, and at the same time, the eyes that had been closed slowly opened.
The phone was from the man who rented the house to Ling Ye, Li Jin'an called, as soon as the phone was connected, the other party said directly: "The owner of the house is back, please move out immediately" The tone was a little anxious, maybe the other party just knew the news. Ling Ye glanced at the woman who was staring at him, and calmly replied, "Well, I saw her"
"What" seemed to be in a hurry, "Did you see her?"
"Well, it's right in front of me."
"Then you give her the phone" Seeing that Li Jinan was so anxious, probably he didn't tell the woman that he rented the house to himself, Ling Ye handed the phone to Su Mo.
Su Mo retracted his gaze and stared at the strange man opposite, and when he took the phone, he probably understood what was going on, put the phone in his ear and whispered "Hey", I thought it would be my aunt, and for what reason I rented the house to the strange man in front of me, just because the person was holding the key he gave to my aunt, and the red panda used for decoration on it was still rippling on the tips of his knuckled fingers, so when he woke up, he didn't make any radical moves when he woke up and met a stranger before he saw him.
He has lived alone for many years, and even if he falls asleep, he will leave one ear, and when he opened the door just now, he had already woken up, but this phone call came too timely to interrupt his questioning voice
I didn't expect a gentle and anxious voice from the other side, as well as a string of explanations, but I didn't expect it to be my cousin. Listening to his cousin's explanation, Su Mo secretly thought, when did he have this kind of sympathy, and quietly listened to Li Jinan say a lot, Su Mo just said lightly, "Well, I know everything, I'm back, leave this matter to me, you can go to work with peace of mind, and I'll see you and my aunt tomorrow."
Listening to Su Mo's faint tone, which didn't look like he was angry, Li Jinan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a gentle smile, "Okay, come here, I'll make you something to eat, I've been out for so long, I've definitely lost weight."
"No, you also know that if you go, you won't treat your mouth badly wherever you go"
"Well, that's good"
"Let's do this first, I'll hang up first, see you tomorrow!"
"Okay, goodbye!" There was a hang-up 'beep' sound on the phone, Su Mo handed the phone back to Ling Ye, and said generously, "Hello, my name is Su Mo, I am the owner of this house, I went out to travel some time ago, and handed over the house to my cousin, oh... It is the person who rented your house to take care of it, and asked him to help rent it out, originally I didn't recruit male tenants, but I didn't expect him to rent it to you for special reasons."
I've also heard him say that you had an agreement with him when you rented a house, right, you also saw that this house is where I live alone, although there is a separate door downstairs, which can be separated from the second floor, but it's not very good. There's no way, girls are naturally less timid, so please understand" The words were a little hurried, Su Mo was not very good at dealing with strangers face-to-face, but he still had to bite the bullet and hurry up to finish what he wanted to say
Su Mo is introverted and not good at dealing with people, in fact, Ling Ye is also a person who doesn't like to talk much, not to mention that he broke into the room of other girls' houses just now, and when he was resting, although it was unintentional, he was still a little nervous. After listening to Su Mo's words, he hurriedly continued, "Well, I know, I'll go pack up and move out immediately, I scared you just now, I'm sorry, I just wanted to water the flowers, I didn't know you were back, I'm sorry" After speaking, I remembered that someone said the name, and I didn't seem to have introduced myself yet, and added a sentence "Well..."
Su Mo smiled, seeing that it was already approaching evening, thinking that when he came back today, he saw his flowers and plants and a clean room, so he asked more, "If you move out now, where do you live?" Do you have friends here?"
Ling Ye shook his head, "No, let's go out and find a hotel first, and then find a suitable house."
Su Mo suddenly felt that since Li Jinan had rented the house to others, it didn't seem appropriate to kick them out to live in a hotel now, although he had already agreed in advance, "When will your rent expire?" ”
Ling Ye was a little surprised, why did Su Mo ask this, and thought that maybe Li Jinan asked her to check out the rent for herself? After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "It's still half a month, uh... You don't have to return the money to me."
With a faint smile, Su Mo made a decision, "Then you can live first, take advantage of the past few days to find a house first, and then move if you find it."
Ling Ye was very surprised, but he didn't say anything more, I liked it very much, since the owner was not in a hurry to rush him, he also thanked him and went downstairs.
Seeing Ling Ye go downstairs, Su Mo felt very complicated. I've set the rules for so many years, and today I still break them, and I can't tell what it's like in my heart, it's not that I've been worried about the safety issues, but I'm used to following the plan I have arranged, and when distortions occur, the forced and regular side of my personality is a little attacked.
As for the safety issue, there is a reason why he is not worried, not only Ling Ye has an impression of Su Mo, Su Mo also has an impression of Ling Ye, for a while, this person often waited at the entrance of the alley behind, the clothes on his body have always been off-white, sometimes standing alone under the big willow tree, sometimes pushing a bicycle.
Then, the girl who rented the house downstairs would run out, and he would catch her with a doting smile, take her away, and send her back. Su Mo sometimes thinks, seeing that their relationship is so good, why would the girl still come to rent her own house? It's nothing new to live together now when you're in love. But the boy hadn't even stepped into his yard, and even Su Mo couldn't see that he wanted to come in, so he just picked up the girl in the morning and sent her back in the evening, maybe it was out of his own rules? But why do you still want to rent it? Su Mo didn't feel that his thoughts were dirty, what they did made Su Mo feel puzzled, and he also appreciated the boy and girl even more. On the premise that he is not married, Su Mo still feels that 'being affectionate and courteous' is more satisfying than 'being uncontrollable'.
Although he has doubts, with Su Mo's character, he will not ask, so this question can only be a question, and there is no answer.
After about half a year, the girl moved away, Su Mo didn't know if they moved out of the city, or if they were finally ready to build their love nest, but when they left, the girl's mental state seemed to be very poor.
Su Mo didn't care about what was going on, and Su Mo rarely cared about things other than herself, because she felt that it was unnecessary. She knows that she has never been the type to be liked, so why bother with her own mind and other people's hearts? And it's still unappreciated!
Who knows, but I heard a meaning from my cousin's words just now, that is, Ling Ye's relatives are gone, and she had rented it in her house before she died, so Ling Ye wanted to see the house she lived in and feel her breath. Could it be that girl? It's been more than a year since they left! At that time, she was not in good spirits, was she sick? With these questions, Su Mo finally relented, and in the last half a month...
Back in the middle of the night, he was silent and stared out of the window for a while, before turning on the computer to browse the rental information nearby, he didn't know why Su Mo would let him live for the remaining half a month, but he knew that living here would bring uneasiness to a girl, so he must quickly find a house and move out, fortunately, he is staying in the house most of the time to draw and do procedures, so if he doesn't meet, it will still reduce embarrassment.
Open the webpage on board, look at the 'inheritance' advertisement on it, look at it silently for a while, and turn it off! Click on QQ to send the newly completed design draft to the supervisor, just boarded, the system prompted that there was a new email, and clicked on the email at midnight to read the content, and closed it silently.
I got up and walked to the window, looking at the pomegranate trees with fiery red flowers in the yard, and the look on my face was a little confused and a little sad. The golden sunlight of the evening sprinkled softly on the man's body, but it seemed that it could not shine into his heart, and the feeling of loneliness all over his body could be felt even if he did not approach.
