Chapter 3 Living in a Mansion
Chiba was ready to take a shower first.
Both bathrooms have bathtubs, so enjoy them.
The shelves in the bathroom are stacked with toiletries, and a set of handmade soaps in a variety of scents – calendula, French rose, tea tree oil, grapefruit, patchouli, linden, cranberry...... Pick up a piece and smell it, and the whole body is comfortable.
"God, I've never smelled these smells before, how nice it would be to be able to wash them."
Thinking about it, it was all someone else's thing, and she knew that she was not qualified to touch it, so she took out half of the sulfur soap that had not been used up in Lancheng and stepped into the bathtub.
Bodhisattva Buddha God, God Jesus Queen Mother, the jacuzzi is simply not too comfortable!
She submerged her whole body under the water, held it for a full half a minute, and then let out a long breath. The water temperature and pressure relieve muscle fatigue and gradually relax the pores.
"These people are really going to enjoy it." When I think of the public bathhouses in welfare homes and schools, it is like heaven and earth.
After taking a shower, drying herself, and changing into the blue home clothes that she had worn for three years, the buttons at the end had fallen off, and the two plackets dangled to show her navel from time to time, and she touched it.
"Gollum ......" the stomach screamed, and it actually echoed in the huge bathroom.
I remembered that I bought a bag of apples at the station, so I quickly found it out of the box, washed one and started biting. The rest was about to be put in the refrigerator, and as soon as she opened the door, her eyes almost didn't fall.
It's not so much a refrigerator as half a supermarket. Cheese, bacon rolls, beef jerky, assorted nuts, potato chips, cookies, fruits, yogurt, milk, beer, instant noodles, self-heating rice, Korean cold noodles, semi-cooked pizza, ......
She swallowed hard and closed the door sensibly.
"Eat other people's soft mouths, take other people's soft hands, eat other people's soft mouths, take other people's ......"
She began to pour water into her stomach cup by cup, repeating this in her heart until she heard the clanging of her stomach, and then she went back to the bedroom with her stomach straight.
Dig out the backpack from the bottom of the box, pour the contents onto the bed, and sit cross-legged. The backpack was all her belongings, a diary, and a cosmos brooch.
She wrote in her diary:
When I arrived in Lucheng, it was really beautiful here, and the dogs were also very powerful, and they would bite people when they saw them. The rented house is simply a palace, and I think maybe the queen is bored and makes such a big joke on me, a poor ghost. Whatever, when I wake up tomorrow, people will kick me out, and for the sake of how comfortable this bed is, this girl decided to get a good night's sleep first. I'm really tired today, so I'll write so much, God forbid you won't lose sleep. Mom, I miss you, you must be well......
She was so tired, she had been suffering from insomnia for a long time, and she easily fell asleep and snored slightly.
"Ahh
I don't know how long she slept, but she suddenly sat up with a scream, covered in sweat. Yes, she had nightmares again, the same scene seventeen years ago.
Pushing open the window, the river view is bright and neon, and you can see it all, but the world is silent, as lonely as an abyss. At that moment, she couldn't think of where she was or what she was going to do, when a scorching heat hit her without warning, and she quickly ran into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
She had to cool down her brain, and after gulping and drinking the bottle, she realized that it was beer, and it tasted good. Then, he grabbed a large handful of snacks and stuffed them into his mouth fiercely, almost choking on several times.
She needs to be filled, which will put the panic and helplessness to a halt for a while.
The effects of the alcohol slowly became apparent, and she lay on the ground, the kitchen tiles bright and reflective, and she saw her face shattered and detached.
It was noon the next day when she woke up, and if it weren't for the continuous doorbell, she probably would have to sleep.
The woman standing outside the door wore sunglasses and had a graceful posture.
"You are?" She rubbed her eyes, unsure of who it was.
"Miss Yang, right? I am Lu Meiqin's sister. Without waiting for her to respond, the woman leaned into the room, looking like a regular customer, "She said you moved in, let me take a look." How's that, are you still used to it? ”
"Well, pretty ...... Pretty good. ”
The woman walked around the house, first the living room, then the bedroom, the cloakroom, and then the balcony. He walked to the locked bedroom door, pulled the door, and nodded reassuringly.
The two came to the kitchen, and at a glance they saw the scattered snack packaging and wine bottles, and Chiba lowered his head embarrassedly.
"It was too late yesterday and I don't know where to sell food, so ...... But don't worry, I bought it and made it up for it when I went back, and there won't be one less. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
The woman didn't say a word, picked up the trash can and cleaned up the garbage one by one. She was at a loss for what to do, so she had to wring the towel, and the woman snatched it again, and cleaned the table floor.
"I'm so sorry......" she replied, "I shouldn't have touched your things." ”
"I made a note of it, you like beef jerky, potato chips, and some beer." The woman tied the garbage bag and held it in her hand, looking cheerful, "I'll buy some more to put in the housekeeper center when I go back, and you can report the room number and get it yourself." If you need anything, just ask, you're welcome, just like you're in your own home. She said and pinched Chiba's face, "Quite a cute little girl." ”
This sincere attitude didn't look like a joke at all, and she stuck out her finger and poked her ear, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
"You can use everything in this room, if you don't want to do laundry, you can throw it in the butler center. By the way, you don't have to pay the property fee, my sister has already paid it until next year. If you think the house is dirty, you ask the housekeeper center to send someone to do it, but they don't clean it carefully, and the outside cleaning is better. There are a few cleaning phones in the shoe cabinet drawer, and they should all be annual cards that don't need to be paid, so you can choose yourself. Alright, I'll go. ”
After speaking, the woman walked out with a garbage bag, and Chiba sent it to the door, confused.
The woman looked back: "Use the phone." ”
She handed her phone over. The woman opened her WeChat QR code and scanned it to become friends.
"If you need to tell me directly these days, my sister is too busy and will not be back until two days."
Yang Qianye was at a loss for the other party's series of actions, and in the face of this enthusiasm, he was more afraid than grateful. She pinched her thighs hard, not dreaming.
"I ...... You ......" She didn't know what to say, but she was confused.
"Little sister, relax, my sister and I get along very well, you can live here with confidence." The only thing to note, though......" The woman glanced toward the locked bedroom and swallowed her words back, "Forget it, let's go first, goodbye." ”
The door slammed shut.
Many puzzles didn't have time to ask, and Yang Qianye was confused. Who the hell is the landlord, what kind of trick is he playing, renting out the mansion for a few hundred yuan and bearing all the miscellaneous expenses and snacks, worried that she is afraid and specially asked her sister to come over to note - where in the world can you find such a good thing.
Yes, gotta ask. She quickly packed up and walked out of the apartment, found a real estate agent and stepped in.
"Does the lady look at the house? Buy or rent or sell? A white-shirted, short-nosed intermediary guy asked.
"Excuse me, is Sakura Apartment Building 4 5-1101 renting?"
Hearing this, the guy looked up and down, and his previous enthusiasm instantly cooled.
"That listing has long been taken off the shelves, deceptive."
"Liar?"
The guy glanced at her again and confirmed that she was a poor student.
"600 yuan to rent a mansion with a river view, do you think it's possible? If it's true that I've rented it early, it's someone else's turn? Miss, you get what you pay for, don't dream, there won't be any pies in the sky. ”
"So, what does the landlord mean?"
"The devil knows what it means, hanging so low, hundreds of people come to ask every day, and they don't rent, saying that it's not the person she wants to rent. By the way, why are you asking all this, do you want to rent a cherry blossom apartment? How big is it going to be? What is the budget? We have a good service here, if you are interested, I can introduce you to the house, and you can go directly to see the house. But there is a word in advance, if you really like it, we will charge a month's rent as a commission......"
"Oh no, thank you."
She shook her head and slowly stepped out. The intermediary guy showed a look of disgust.
"This house doesn't have to die, does it?" A terrifying thought flashed through Chiba's mind, and his arms were full of goosebumps, "It's not right, if it's really dead, people will avoid it, just sell it." Even if such a good house is a murderous house, the rent of 600 yuan is ridiculously low. ”
The agent didn't ask about the famous place, so she decided to ask the doorman again.
On duty today is another thin security guard, with a mole on his forehead, who doesn't look as enthusiastic as the fat security guard, and his thin face looks very gloomy, as if something is unhappy.
Glancing at it, she actually looked at the thin security guard, and she walked up hard.
"Master, I'm sorry to disturb ......"
"What?"
"I'm a new tenant and want to ask something."
"No wonder, it's polite." The thin security guard smiled and said politely, "If only the owner didn't talk to people like that." ”
"Is Sakura Apartment a high-end community in Lucheng?"
"Of course. However, there are many high-end communities in Lucheng, and it is not the best. In these years, there are as many people with money as there are no money, only the price that they dare not open, and there is no house that they can't afford. ”
The thin security guard was slightly resentful in his words, and he could see that the owner here didn't take him seriously.
"So how much can you rent a house in this community?"
"It depends."
"It's just four buildings 5-1101, I live in the kind of way."
"How much do you rent?" The security guard asked rhetorically.
She hesitated for a moment, but did not answer directly.
"It's a friend's house, and it's rented very cheaply, so I want to ask how much I owe to them."
"1101 is 260 square meters, not counting the gift...... "The thin security guard is quite familiar with the house type here, and he opened his mouth to come, "Hardcover room, without furniture and appliances, at least nine thousand, with furniture and appliances at least thirteen,000." ”
Her legs were so weak that she almost didn't fall.
"What, you're renting cheaply? But it's nothing, there are all rich people here, even if they say they are friends, it's normal for you to live for nothing, so they don't lack this money. The security guard half-jokingly.
Chiba nodded sluggishly, thanked him and left. Only she knows that Lu Meiqin doesn't know her at all, so why do you have a friend.
