Chapter 35: An Awkward Love Space
Entering the community, it is a row of neatly arranged six-story houses, with gray facades, I don't know whether it is the original color of the buildings or the color that has been eroded by wind and rain for a long time. Many of the windows were covered with dust, and it was not known if the people inside could see the sunlight if they lived in such a house. And the diving birds found that some windows never opened.
Diving birds think that these people live an incredible life, and they have no quality of life at all. Although he is a stranger and rents a house everywhere, he still likes to clean and tidy the place where he lives, and sometimes he feels that he has a habit of cleanliness, but cleanliness is better than sloppy.
A person always has to have some requirements for himself, and without requirements, people will stagnate. He was full of hope for himself, thinking that one day he would return to the magic capital, buy a big house, preferably a villa, and live with butterflies. He's also going to have a dog. To do this, he has to work hard to make money.
Every time he thought about it, he felt the blood rushing in his chest, which filled him with passion.
Leng Qinghe walked all the way, saying all the way: "What floor do you live on?" β
"Fifth floor." He thought in his heart, he would know when he arrived, so anxious.
"How many rooms?"
"One and a half rooms. Very small. "He was nonchalant. Usually this time has already arrived home, and at the moment he is still walking slowly with her. It turned out that there was still such a long way from his house to the community, but he kept riding his bicycle and didn't notice it.
Leng Qinghe looked around and said, "This house is quite old. β
"How good do you think the company will rent you?"
"Also, the company is very picky, the probation period is three months, and our company will take half a year."
"You're past your probationary period, aren't you?"
"yes. I just got a salary increase, and it's just that. Not enough to spend. β
"What did you spend?" The diving bird asked curiously.
"Buying clothes, eating, hanging out with my classmates, and my mother gives me some money every month."
The diving bird snorted, he remembered that he had not asked his mother for money since he had been working, but he often had to send money back, and his mother liked to play cards. He kind of looks down on the kind of people who have to be raised by their parents when they are adults.
He didn't say anything, people have money in the family, so what does he care. Indeed, Leng Qinghe's parents are both in business, their families are wealthy, and they only have one baby daughter, so they are naturally used to being spoiled. He likes butterflies very much at this point, she has never been the kind of delicate woman, although she is very weak and pure on the outside, but as long as she gets along with her, she can feel that she is very strong and strong inside.
Sometimes appearances can hide a person.
To say that Leng Qinghe's appearance is far rougher than that of a butterfly, but she is indeed a very weak girl, weak like a willow in the spring breeze, she has no own opinions, and she likes to be attached to others in everything.
Now that they are closer, she likes to ask him everything, is this good, how is that? I have no idea at all. Every time she eats, she has to have the final say in the diving bird, and she has always been casual.
Diving birds have to think about where to solve it at night every time. Sometimes he gets annoyed, so he lets her decide, after all, that she still has a lot of work to do. Then she will ask endlessly on QQ, almost every store has to ask again, and at the end, she has to be sure of diving birds.
The diving bird is very worried, isn't it going to be tired to death if you get along like this? If you don't die of exhaustion, you want to be annoyed to death?
There used to be an open space in front of the building, but a parking shed was built, which was a good thing for the diving bird, because he finally didn't have to carry his bicycle up the stairs every day. He pushed the car into the carport and parked it, then walked out with his backpack on his back, and flicked the keys upstairs with a flick in his hand.
The room is small, but it looks neat and tidy, only simple furniture. The diver couldn't find a second pair of slippers with great difficulty, so she gave her up her slippers and walked in barefoot.
Leng Qinghe was obviously very novel, entered the door, looked around by himself without greeting, and looked at the window, and when the diving bird saw her leaning out, he said: "Before falling down, it is best to write a suicide note, saying that it is your own voluntariness." β
Leng Qinghe gave him a blank look and said, "As for it?" β
The diving bird put her backpack away and asked her if she wanted to drink some water, as if she still had some drinks in the fridge, which she had drunk when she was going to watch a movie on her day off. But at the moment he took it out very generously.
He didn't get along with a girl alone like this, and he didn't take a girl back to his place alone, and a certain nervousness and uneasiness made him suddenly seem very generous.
Leng Qinghe took the drink and smiled at him with his tongue sticking out his tongue.
The diving bird's heart suddenly beat faster. I held the drink by myself but didn't unscrew the lid for a long time. Just follow her, she gets here, he gets here, she gets there, he gets there. Listen to her say there: "You are very clean, and it is quite cozy here." I think you're doing a good job. Hey, what is this? She suddenly stopped in front of his glass case and looked at the various utensils inside.
"Oh, it's all electronics."
The diving bird didn't want her to touch it, these were his treasures. He turned on the computer and said, "Do you want to watch a movie?" He wanted to distract her, and besides, the two of them had to find something to do. For diving birds, all the entertainment is, of course, the computer.
For some reason, from the moment she entered his house, the diving bird had been pondering a question: when will she leave?
She walked around the room, and the diving bird followed her, trying to explain everything in his room, for example, when she suddenly saw a pot of succulents on the balcony floor, she was infinitely exaggerated and surprised: "So you also grow succulents?" β
In fact, it's just a pot, it's not his own planting, it's something that exists in this room, I don't know if it's the previous tenant, or the previous tenant left it, the ghost knows which tenant suddenly bought a pot of succulents on a whim one day, and then put it on the balcony and slowly forgot about it, and then became a part of this room, it quietly witnessed the changes of this house.
The diving bird coughed dryly and said, "Well, this one, it was there when I came, okay?" I don't usually grow plants, and I can't feed them if I do. Feed yourself first. The last sentence is a little self-deprecating, but it is true. The ancients said that if you are good, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be good alone. Diving birds feel like they can be left alone. The meaning of being good is not to cause trouble, not to have excessive desires, to be content with calm, to live honestly, and to go to good classes. This is the kind of life he lives now, although he also wants to travel, go around to have fun, show off to friends, buy all kinds of high-end gadgets, and talk about lingering love...... In short, everything he can't do now is what he wants to do. But everything has to be rich.
Leng Qinghe turned his head to look at him and said, "I'll plant it, and I'll plant a lot, you can come to my house another day to see it." My balcony is full of succulents. You should water it a little, and you see it's all dried like this. β
The diving bird said nonchalantly, "Isn't it okay to be alive?" β
"It's not the same as a good job, the leaves are all dried, and the leaves are all dried up below."
"Isn't this thing in the desert, where is there to water it regularly?"
The diving bird was a little impatient, and actually had to accompany her to talk to a plant he never cared about for a long time.
"Since you live here now, you are its owner, so you have to take care of it. I'll waterβ" She ran straight to the kitchen, where she saw an empty cup on the windowsill of the hallway, filled half a glass of water, and carefully poured it on the surrounding soil, which was almost stoned.
The diving bird looked at her with his hands on his shoulders and couldn't help but smile wryly.
In this place where the tofu is big, one person is fine, and one more person suddenly feels invisibly crowded, and the diving birds feel that they can only stay in a corner to avoid colliding with her.
After watering the plants, she looked around on the balcony again, and as she looked, she said, "I wonder if you can see my house here?" β
The question is simply ridiculous. She actually went on to say, "Look, that tall building is my house, but it's a lot of roads away, so it looks so close." She was referring to a tall building, towering like Optimus Prime under the distant sky. She suddenly said, "It doesn't seem to be like it, I'm confused, I forgot what my building chief looks like." β
The night breeze is up.
The diving bird said, "Come in." Don't stay on the balcony all the time. Do you watch movies or not? Again, he suggested.
Apparently she wasn't interested in the movie, so she still looked at herself, and then looked back at the diving bird, and suddenly smiled, and said, "I think it's actually quite nice for you to live alone, if only I could live alone." β
The diving bird was still standing there, motionless, blinking and saying, "You can move out and live on your own?" β
She pouted and said, "That's not good, my parents won't agree." I felt like they were looking at me like a prisoner. β
"Not all parents are like that. When I was in my own house, my mom was like that, so I came out of college. "Coming to the magic capital after graduating from college will always be a proud thing for him.
"But I can't, if I go to work somewhere else, my mom will come with me. Because she must not be at ease, besides, they have all found me a good job, and I have never looked for a job myself. β
The diving bird smiled secretly with disdain.
"How nice you are, and with the help of your parents, we are different. Even in Sichuan, my mom couldn't help me. β
"How did your mom live there alone?"
"She? I'm very happy, playing mahjong during the day and working in a hot pot restaurant at night. β
"Your mother still works at a hot pot restaurant? How old are you? β
"They all know each other, so it doesn't matter how old they are, it's just a favor, and besides, my mother is idle, and she has something to do at night, so time flies quickly. Make some money and spend it happily. β
"Oh, but Sichuan hot pot is really delicious, I didn't eat spicy food originally, but now I like spicy food."
"What you eat isn't spicy." His mother sent him a lot of beef chili sauce and tempeh this year, and every time he put a spoonful of noodles on his own, the taste was incomparable. He also misses the dishes his mother cooked, and everything in his memory seems to be particularly delicious. He suddenly thought, when he goes home for the Chinese New Year this year, what should he bring to his mother?
Leng Qinghe finally left the balcony, walked around the room again, and then looked at the clock on the wall, as if he had discovered a new world, and blurted out: "It's so late?" I have to go home, and I have to wake up early tomorrow. β
When the diving bird heard her voice, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, I have to get up early tomorrow." How do you get home? The diving bird didn't feel the need to stay, and he didn't want to pretend to keep it, for in this short period of time, it had already made him feel uncomfortable, and it didn't seem like this room was his. The atmosphere and aura he had originally created for himself were completely broken, like a spider's web, painstakingly woven together, and instantly scratched by an alien insect. At this moment, he longs to return to the peace and loneliness of being alone, going to the kitchen alone to boil water to drink, sitting alone in front of the computer, and lying alone in bed and thinking wildly......
"I'll call a ride home myself."
"Okay, then I'll take you to the door."
