Chapter 1 Why don't you stay at my house?
In the evening, light rain.
Crowded supermarket exits.
Lin Jinyan carried a shopping bag of quick-frozen convenience food, walked quickly to the open-air square, and prepared to leave with an umbrella.
As soon as he opened the folding umbrella, he heard a familiar shout from in front of him.
"Lin Jinyan~"
The voice is soft and warm, with a bit of playfulness.
Lin Jinyan followed the prestige and saw a delicate girl not far from the right who was covering her forehead with one hand and waving to him with a smile.
She wears a pure white short-sleeved T-shirt, tied with a crisp high ponytail, and well-matched sweatpants and sneakers, no matter which angle you look at, you can feel the vitality and vitality that a young girl should have.
Lin Jinyan stopped, smiled and nodded, "Good afternoon." ”
"Hey, why are you so polite?" The girl took two steps forward, looked down at the shopping bag he was carrying, and asked curiously, "It's summer, buy so many quick-frozen food, huh...... Is your home in this neighborhood? ”
"It's in the neighborhood in front, less than a hundred meters from here."
Lin Jinyan held up the umbrella and covered the other party under the umbrella.
The girl in front of him is named Fang Tang, his junior high school classmate and high school tablemate.
The relationship between the two is not very close, but they can be regarded as friends who can talk.
It is now less than a month before the end of the college entrance examination.
This difference in time obviously does not make the relationship between the two rusty.
"Isn't that right next to the main campus of Linjiang University?" Fang Tang turned his gaze to the street behind him.
At the end of that street is the location of Linjiang University, one of the country's top universities.
It only took about ten minutes to walk from where the two of them were standing to the school.
"So my first choice was Linda." Lin Jinyan said with a smile.
"That's quite a coincidence, my first choice is also Linda." Fang Tang smiled and said with some joy, "What I was thinking about at the time was to stay in this city, and it would be easier to move when the time comes." ”
"Moving?"
"It's just to rent a house around here, so that you don't have to delay the time to go to school, and you can have a private space of your own." Fang Tang explained, "I'm here to see the house today, and if it goes well, I should be able to move here within a week." ”
"You're alone?" Lin Jinyan frowned.
He didn't quite understand why the other party's parents could rest assured that a young girl who had just become an adult would go out alone to see the rent.
"Well, it's not a big deal, one person is enough." Fang Tang lowered his voice slightly, paused for half a second, then gently brushed his sideburns, and said with a smile, "You are more familiar with this area than me, why don't you help me take a look?" ”
"Yes." Lin Jinyan nodded without hesitation, "You first tell me what requirements you have for the house, I will help you find it online and offline, and then go to see the house together, so as to reduce the risk of being pitted as much as possible." ”
"Hmm...... If required, the overall decoration does not need to be too good, as long as it is clean and tidy, and there are basic household appliances such as air conditioning and refrigerators. If you can, you want the living room to be a little more spacious and have enough natural light is best. ”
Fang Tang recounted lightly while recalling, and finally added, "I don't know much about the price, do you think you can rent such a house within 3,000?" ”
Lin Jinyan listened, and did not answer her question directly, but asked rhetorically: "Why do you want a living room with good enough light and spacious enough?" ”
"Because I'm going to shoot a video." Fang Tang raised his hand and made a shooting action, "My videos still have very high requirements for the shooting environment, and I can't just find a corner to deal with it." ”
"Take a video?" Lin Jinyan looked at the girl in front of him with some doubts, and just wanted to ask, but suddenly thought that the other party used to often log in to Station O with his mobile phone in his spare time to search and look through some content.
At that time, he thought that the other party was watching a video to relax, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
At this point, you are actually looking at your own video data, or looking through comments and private messages, right?
Thinking of this, he took the opportunity to ask: "Are you the master of the O station?" ”
Fang Tang raised his chin lightly, a little proud: "To be precise, it should be the kind of well-known food up master of Station O, who specializes in sharing food making experience." ”
"Gourmet ......" Lin Jinyan glanced down at the frozen food in the shopping bag, and asked casually, "Is it delicious?" ”
"Of course it's delicious." Fang Tang looked at him angrily and funny, "The delicacies in the video are all made by me after researching them for a long time, and they have been improved until they are successful. ”
"Oh, that's good." Lin Jinyan thought for two seconds, and then said in a shocking voice, "Why don't you live in my house." ”
"Huh?" Fang Tang opened his mouth slightly and looked at him with a stunned expression.
When she heard this, her first thought was not about housing, but whether the other party wanted to hint at something.
Maybe......
Is this a subtle way of confession?
"I also have a master bedroom in my house that is empty, with all the furniture and appliances, just move in; The living room and kitchen are sure to meet your requirements, and I don't need them for much, so I can toss and turn as you want. ”
Lin Jinyan briefly described two sentences, and then explained, "The rent of houses in this area is generally high. There are definitely houses that meet your requirements, but the rent is definitely not cheap; If the rent is cheap, it will most likely be the kind of shared apartment. ”
He looked at the other party seriously, "It's better to live with me than with other strangers, right?" ”
'Seems to make sense......
Fang Tang pondered silently in his heart, and then naturally thought of a question: "Your family shouldn't agree, right?" ”
Lin Jinyan shook his head: "The house is mine, and I live alone." ”
A ...... alone
Hearing this answer, Fang Tang felt even more uneasy in his heart.
'Then when I move in, won't it become two people ......living together?'
She looked at the tall and handsome boy in front of her, and several complicated thoughts flashed in her heart, and then she looked away a little unnaturally, looking at the dripping umbrella edge on the side and stunned.
Seeing this, Lin Jinyan pondered for a moment and proposed: "Otherwise, you can go over with me first, if you are not satisfied, I will continue to help you find other houses, if you are satisfied, you will seriously consider it?" ”
Fang Tang thought about it and felt that this proposal was quite reasonable, so he nodded and agreed.
Not really...... It's like a guest at the same school, and there will be no problem in thinking about it.
"Let's go, then."
Lin Jinyan moved the handle of the umbrella to her back shoulder and gave it a gentle push.
Fang Tang folded his arms slightly restrainedly, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Silence all the way.
It wasn't until he walked into the gate of the community that Fang Tang seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at the boy next to him with doubt:
"What you said at the end, were you deliberately trying to induce me?"
"Hmm...... So to speak. ”
"Why?"
Lin Jinyan smiled and said as a matter of course: "Because moving to my house is indeed a good choice, can't I give myself a chance?" ”
Fang Tang puffed out his cheeks, turned his head and whispered, "I always feel that you have become social...... Not at all like a high school student. ”
Lin Jinyan smiled and exhaled lightly, without refuting.
