Volume 4 Crystal Ball 055 - Friendship Price
Since Wen Wen was in charge of Xu Yicheng's dinner, he rarely worked overtime, and he took home the work that was too late to do, and this day was the same.
At 11 p.m., she stretched, rubbed her eyes and went to get milk. After getting along with Liu Yuanyuan for a long time, Wen Wen felt that she had become squeamish, for example, the habit of drinking milk before going to bed was developed by Liu Yuanyuan.
Passing by Xu Yicheng's room, he saw that the door was still open and the light was on, so he smiled warmly, took an extra carton of milk, and gently walked over and put it on his right hand. Xu Yicheng felt the movement, saw the milk in his hand, smiled at her to express his gratitude, and she also smiled and said goodnight.
On weekends, Wen Wen will take a lazy nap and then get up to make lunch. Through the observation during this time, she already knew that Xu Yicheng slept very late at night and would not get up before noon.
But this Sunday he seemed to wake up very late, and he didn't show up for more than an hour when she was ready to cook. She was so hungry that she was about to knock on the door and ask if he was eating, but he came out with two dark circles under his eyes.
Wen Wen washed the dishes, but saw that he did not go back to the room immediately as usual.
"Don't you have to go to work today?" She wondered.
"Well, just finished a project, I'm going to hand it in tomorrow. You can take a break today. ”
"If there's nothing to do, let's go to the balcony and soak up the sun." Warm invitations. For this house, her favorite is the balcony, which has good lighting, and she will bask in the sun and read books there on weekends when she has nothing to do.
"Okay." Xu Yicheng walked towards Chaochao Terrace.
Warmly served the fruit and made two cups of tea. has lived here for almost a month, and her relationship with Xu Yicheng is not so restrained, so she chatted with him.
This is the first time that the two of them have a pure chat, and I learned that Xu Yicheng's work is basically reversed day and night, and his thinking is particularly clear in the dead of night, which is his working time, which is used to sleep during the day. You don't usually have to clock in and out of work every day, as long as you complete the task within the specified time and hand it over to the project leader, unless there is an important meeting that requires face-to-face communication, you usually only need to go to the company once a week to show up.
He works until about 3 a.m. on average every day. The project was finished last night and was busy until 6 o'clock this morning. Warm and secretly sighed, no wonder he had to sleep until noon every day. In the two days she moved in, it is estimated that he was called up by Liu Yuanyuan early in the morning, no wonder he didn't look very good.
Then the two talked about Liu Yuanyuan again, and warmly learned that Xu Yicheng was introverted and did not have many friends, and later when his parents died, he was close to autism, and Liu Yuanyuan had been playing with him by his side, taking him to do some crazy things that he had not done, and pulling him back from the edge of autism.
Eighteen-year-old men and women get along day and night, and naturally have feelings. Xu Yicheng is grateful to Liu Yuanyuan in addition to feelings, Liu Yuanyuan is a goddess in his heart, and he also knows that he is not good enough, so he depends on her, gets used to her, works hard and tries to satisfy her materially.
Through an afternoon of small talk, Wen Wen learned that Xu Yicheng is not as boring as he seems, he is actually very good at talking, but he doesn't like to talk to unfamiliar people. He also has a wide range of knowledge, and can even be said to be erudite, knowing a lot about astronomy, geography, humanities and history, and also has his own unique views on some social phenomena. This is also very in line with the warm taste, she doesn't like to talk about celebrity gossip and cosmetics.
Chatting and chatting, Wen Wen suddenly thought of something and returned to the room, but soon came out. She handed him the envelope in her hand: "I moved in without paying the deposit, and now it's almost a month, and it's time to pay the rent." ”
Waiting for Xu Yi to accept the envelope, she continued: "At that time, when it came to rent, you said casually, I made my own initiative and calculated a friendship price, you won't mind, right?" ”
Xu Yicheng opened the envelope in front of a warm face and took out the 12 red banknotes inside, which is indeed a friendly price, and the same kind of single room in this area is usually about 1,008.
He smiled and lined up the money on the table: "Okay, since you mentioned it, then let's calculate the account: after you come, I will have two dishes and one soup every night, if I order takeout, at least 20 times, and the lunch on the weekend is considered a friendly price, and I will discount it on my own initiative, so it is 600." As he spoke, he took out six banknotes and returned them to Wen.
"You help me clean every day, I usually ask for an hourly job once a week, and I also convert it into a friendship price." Xu Yicheng said and handed Wen Wen another 4 banknotes.
"Finally, I want to ask you to do me a favor, I want to ask you to help me find information when you are free, your speed is much faster than mine, I don't know if you are willing, is the friendship price of 200 enough?" As he spoke, he handed the last two bills to Wen Wen.
Wen Wen was a little speechless, this is the rhythm that made her rub it, thought about it and said: "I haven't calculated my water and electricity bills!" ”
Xu Yicheng replied with a smile: "I didn't count the milk and afternoon tea in the evening!" ”
Wen Wen didn't say anything anymore, gave him a blank look, stood up and put the money away, and pretended to be helpless: "Alas, I rented a house and sold myself." I'm going to work, I'm going grocery shopping. ”
"Do you want my help?" Xu Yicheng also stood up.
Wen Wen quipped: "Do you want to help me carry things, or do you want to steal the teacher and cook for Yuanyuan to eat in the future?" ”
"Both." He is also very honest.
This afternoon tea brought the two closer together, and suddenly changed from a familiar stranger to a casual feeling like an old friend. Warmly thought that Liu Yuanyuan said that she hoped that Xu Yicheng could take care of her in the future, and agreed to go grocery shopping with him, let him help him when cooking, and carefully taught him how to choose dishes and how to cook simple and delicious meals. It's just that his talent is really ...... It's all about reading.
Because of the data search fee, after dinner, I will take Xu Yicheng to the downstairs community for a walk, then make him a cup of tea, and then help him find the information after cleaning up. At ten o'clock, she went back to her room to tidy up the work she had to do the next day, and then rested, and her life suddenly became very regular. When Xu Yicheng is not working, he will chat with her, drink tea and bask in the sun, learn to cook with her, and occasionally watch TV with her.
Wen Wen suddenly woke up in the early morning of this day, and then felt hungry inexplicably, so he opened the door to look for food, but found Xu Yicheng standing at the door and wanted to knock on the door but hesitated, and was stunned.
"Warm, I ...... I'm hungry, do I have anything to eat? "He's a little embarrassed.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a look, I'm hungry too."
After saying that, she ran to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of egg noodles with tomatoes in a short time. When eating noodles, Wen Wen saw that Xu Yicheng had been touching his neck, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "That...... Would you like to rub it for you? ”
"Huh?" Xu Yicheng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said okay.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Wen Wen walked behind him and pressed his neck and shoulders, she had learned some massages when she used to work part-time. After pressing for a while, Xu Yicheng obviously felt much more comfortable, and said with a smile: "You are really capable, it seems that I am going to give you a salary increase." ”
She smiled and replied, "Just don't raise my rent." ”
When she finished massaging Xu Yicheng and saw that it was half past five, she didn't want to sleep anymore, so she helped him do some things such as searching for information. With her help, Xu Yicheng completed the project at eight o'clock. So the two went to work together for the first time in several months, and Xu Yicheng drove her downstairs to the company.
Wen Wen because he slept less at night, the work efficiency of this day was much lower than usual, and a meeting was temporarily added in the middle, so he called Xu Yicheng and asked him to solve it by himself after dinner. By the time she got back to her quarters, it was past ten o'clock, and she felt like she was going to fall apart.
Xu Yicheng heard her come back and walked out of the room to ask her if she wanted to order takeout together, but saw her knocking on her shoulder with her left and right hands in turn, and asked in a ghostly manner, "Do you want to help you rub it?" ”
"Huh?" This time, it was Wen Wen's turn to be stunned, and he was stunned for a long time and wanted to say no, but he couldn't help but whispered a good word. When Xu Yicheng pressed her on the chair to help her massage, she felt that her face was hot.
In a blink of an eye, Wen Wen has been living in Xu Yicheng's house for more than three months, close to the company, life is also convenient, and Xu Yicheng is also very comfortable getting along, he is very quiet and not picky, unlike some bad landlords or annoying roommates.
The only thing that makes her uncomfortable is that every time Liu Yuanyuan comes to her to go shopping, she will bring Xu Yicheng, a coolie, or Liu Yuanyuan will bring her big light bulb when she goes out to eat with Xu Yicheng. She didn't want to go, but she couldn't survive Liu Yuanyuan's soft grinding and hard bubbles. Liu Yuanyuan is like a child, every time she holds her arm and spoils her, she can't stand it.
However, she is also very knowledgeable, will keep a certain distance from them, and will complain: "In broad daylight, isn't it bright enough?" What do you have to do with my light bulb? ”
Whenever this happens, Xu Yicheng will smile awkwardly and politely, while Liu Yuanyuan will laugh heartlessly. But Wen Wen disliked this feeling more and more.
This Sunday, Liu Yuanyuan sent an unprecedented WeChat message to Wen Wen saying that she was in a bad mood and would immediately ask someone to accompany her, and said that as long as she was alone, Wen Wen felt puzzled but still went immediately. Liu Yuanyuan's personality is rarely unhappy, she is a very sunny girl, and the warmth is moonlight, not so brilliant, but more gentle and elegant.
The meeting place is about a dessert shop, and in Liu Yuanyuan's words, eating desserts will make you feel better. When Wen Wen arrived, Liu Yuanyuan had already arrived. Wen Wen sighed in her heart, this is not like her character, she has always been proud of being late.
"Xinxin, your time today is all mine, okay?" This is Liu Yuanyuan's first sentence when she sees the warmth.
Seeing her pitiful look, the warmth naturally depends on her.
Liu Yuanyuan said that she was in a very bad mood, she just wanted to talk to Wen Wen well, and she didn't want anyone to disturb her, so she turned off her mobile phone in front of Wen Wen, and begged Wen Wen to turn off her mobile phone. Wen Wen reluctantly agreed, but found that he was in a hurry and didn't bring his mobile phone.
Liu Yuanyuan chatted warmly for a long time, but she didn't mention a word about why she was in a bad mood. She didn't say anything warm and didn't ask. Until she couldn't eat, Liu Yuanyuan took Wen Wen to go shopping again, and went to drink coffee when she couldn't walk.
"Xinxin," Liu Yuanyuan kept stirring the coffee, and finally spoke, "Do you like Yicheng?" ”
