The heroine of our story, Jingzhi Chen, is a new PhD student at Mutas University this fall. Although she had already studied for a master's degree in the UK for a year, she had never set foot in Mutas before in another city.

It was only because she received a PhD admission letter from Mutas University two months ago that Jingzhi hurriedly moved to this old apartment near Mutas University. The person who introduced Jingzhi to the landlord was a friend she met when she was a master's student.

Although there were many twists and turns in the middle, I finally moved in smoothly a few days ago. Before moving in, Jingzhi had already signed a contract with the landlord. Because she hadn't found a roommate to share a room with, she had to rent the entire apartment by herself.

Jingzhi desperately hopes to find a roommate who satisfies her as soon as possible to live in the small bedroom and share the rent of the entire apartment with her.

During her lunch break today, Jingzhi had already posted on the UK's largest Chinese website with a broken advertising slogan that she was looking for a co-tenant. Jingzhi gave a general introduction to the various advantages of this apartment, emphasizing how convenient it would be to live here, and finally left her mobile phone number, hoping that people who want to come to see the house can contact her as soon as possible.

After less than half a day, several people contacted Jingzhi one after another, saying that they wanted to come to see the house very much. Jingzhi calculates that tomorrow is Friday, and the students who have taken the language class in the afternoon will have time after the class. So, in the order of first come, first served, she made an appointment with the people who wanted to come to see the house for tomorrow evening.

Now, for Jingzhi, she really wants to have a roommate with her even in her dreams. These days, she lives alone in this dilapidated old apartment, without anyone visiting, which is really lonely and scared.

During the day, she works in the office, and even when she occasionally returns to the apartment, she still has someone passing by the path in front of the living room window from time to time, and she can make a little noise; At night, there were very few cars or pedestrians outside, except for a few drunk young men shouting on the road on Friday and Saturday nights.

After midnight, there was no sound inside and outside the house, and the moonlight came in, which was really a good scene for shooting a horror movie. Jingzhi realized at that time that it was like to be "alone in a foreign land as a stranger"; Or maybe this is the lonely feeling of "raising a glass to invite the bright moon and drinking into three people" written by Li Taibai, which has to remind Jingzhi of his poem: "Raise your head to look at the bright moon, bow your head and think of your hometown." ”； It turns out that for thousands of years, no matter how the times have changed, the feeling of being separated has not changed substantially.

That night, it was pouring rain outside her window, and Jingzhi had to close all the windows to keep the rain from drifting into the apartment. The wind rustled the leaves on the branches of the trees outside the house. The curtain of rain beads printed on the glass window seems to be the tears of angels flowing into the world, gentle and lingering. This kind of night rain is too suitable for embellishing an English city like Mutas, which is both serious and tender. Jingzhi looked at the time, it was past midnight, but she herself was not sleepy.

What will tomorrow hold? What will the girl who will live in this room look like? Jingzhi didn't have a clear answer in her heart. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder. It's time to sleep, it's really time to sleep, and if you think about it, Jingzhi chattered and comforted herself. Tomorrow, tomorrow will be sunny; After all, everything will be fine, Jingzhi slowly muttered to herself in her heart, and slowly closed her eyes.

The next morning, the weather had cleared, and everything was like enjoying a good night's sleep, and waking up refreshed.

A few white clouds hung alone in the pale blue sky. The breeze blew, and the only few clouds fluttered lazily and slowly, like an old lady in a wheelchair, who had to use two trembling hands to slowly turn the wheelchair, and she could not move a few steps for most of the day.

Beams of soft light shine through the foliage on the pavement that has just been washed away by heavy rain and is now renewed. The gentle breeze gently kisses the leaves on the branches, and the light leaves dance happily on the branches with great skill. The occasional bird that lingers in the treetops makes a crisp call, and the discomfort suppressed by the wind and rain of the day and night begins to dissipate as the morning sun slowly rises.

The song of the birds and the beat of the leaves work together in perfect harmony, and people can't help but admire the beauty and magic of nature. The flowers on the roadside are blooming brightly, clustered together, and they are very gorgeous. The streets are decorated with birds and flowers, perfectly showing how vibrant Mutas is in early autumn.

Infected by such a charming view, Jingzhi slowly raised the window edge in the living room by half, and the harmonious atmosphere of nature outside the window immediately penetrated, as if to re-inject life into these old furniture.

A few rays of sunlight quietly caress the dark green carpet in the living room, reflecting the wild lilies in the painting more sweet and warm. The moist breeze gently caressed the large and small objects in the room, and the old furniture, whether covered with dust or not, was full of vitality, like a patient on the sickbed who had just come back to life, and turned around in the ghost gate, and regained the vitality of life; Or maybe it's like a little beast waking up from hibernation, having shaken off the silence of winter, and is about to start moving its body and looking for food in the distance.

When it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Jingzhi hurried home alone.

As soon as she entered the door, Jingzhi panicked and took out the vacuum cleaner from the closet. The roar of a vacuum cleaner at work was heard in the living room, muffling out the leisurely birdsong and the relaxing sound of leaves outside the window.

I saw a little dust flying on the floor, and I was unwilling to be swallowed up by the flat front mouth of the vacuum cleaner. After tidying up the floor in the living room, Jingzhi dragged the vacuum cleaner to the other two bedrooms, plus the kitchen and bathroom, and sucked all the floors inside.

After working for a long time, Jingzhi felt a little tired, so she sat on the sofa in the living room to rest, so that her heartbeat, which was accelerated by cleaning the room, gradually slowed down.

It didn't take long for Jingzhi to jump up from the sofa, rush into the kitchen, wipe the tablecloth next to the sink, and run back to the living room, wiping down the places she could reach little by little.

After a few moments, the first person to view the property arrived. Jingzhi sat alone in the corner of the sofa, quietly waiting for someone to come to see the house for a while.

The distant sound of the bell came from the window, startling Jingzhi. She hurriedly took out her mobile phone from her pocket and looked at the time, it was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

The first person to look at the house should be almost there, Jingzhi was thinking about it, and the mobile phone in her hand suddenly rang with a crisp ringtone.
