Chapter 1: One More Man
Around eight o'clock in the morning.
Apparently, she stayed up late. Usually it starts at five or six o'clock. Stayed up until two o'clock in the morning yesterday. Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, Xu Xiu groped with one hand to the bedside table, touched a rectangular solid, and slid the answer button.
"Hey, Mom." Xu Xiu rolled over, put the phone on her ear, sleepy-eyed.
"What? Stayed up late again yesterday? β
"Hmm."
"Be mindful of rest. By the way, I remember why I called you. The son of a friend of mine is going to live with you. β
"What?" Xu Xiu stood up like a corpse, she calmed down and asked, "Reason?" β
"Aunt Xiao's son Xiao Chen transferred to the second middle school, and he is in the same school as you, I was afraid that I couldn't live in the school a few days ago, and your school accommodation was so nervous. So have been looking for a house. I think we happen to have a house near No. 2 Middle School. Besides, it's not safe for you to live alone, and a boy takes care of you with multiple guarantees, right? β
"Got it." Xu Xiu agreed lightly, pressed to end the call, threw away the phone casually, and fell heavily on the bed.
The good-looking brows frowned slightly, and Xu Xiu looked at the corner of the wall in a daze.
There's one more person.
No, isn't her mother afraid of what her friend's son will do to her?
"Ding Dong-" The sudden doorbell made Xu Xiu suddenly come back to his senses, walked to the door in three steps and two steps, opened the door, raised his eyes to the black and thorough eyes, the peach blossom-shaped eyes were slightly squinted, the person who came was very tall, about one meter and eight, his appearance was handsome, flashy but not glamorous, and his temperament was awe-inspiring, I saw him slightly open his thin lips: "Xu Xiu? β
"Xiao Chen?" Xu Xiu guessed.
"Hmm." The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, and it was fleeting.
"Oh, come in." After speaking, Xu Xiu leaned sideways and made a way.
Xiao Chen carried the suitcase and passed by her with long legs, and a wisp of mint fragrance wafted into the tip of her nose, which was pleasant.
Xiao Chen briefly looked around the house, and the style was gray. The furniture is minimalist and the walls are white.
"Where do I sleep?" Xiao Chen smiled lightly and asked politely.
"Across the street from my room." Xu Xiu came to his senses and said hurriedly. I was secretly shocked by the other party's good looks.
"Where's your room?" Xiao Chen asked rhetorically.
"Uh..." Xu Xiu was speechless for a while, and led him to the room in desperation.
After cleaning up slightly, Xiao Chen walked around.
The house is not big or small.
There are two floors, this is the first floor, as for the second floor. Xu Xiu's words came to mind: "Except for my room on the first floor, you can use it at will, and you will compensate for the damage, and you are prohibited from entering the second floor." β
The first floor consists of two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room.
The dΓ©cor is all in one style and cold.
"Mom." Xu Xiu dialed her mother's phone.
"Arrived?"
"Hmm."
"You have to take care of people's homes, a big boy is easy to be bullied outside."
"......" is a big man of more than 1.8 meters, will he be bullied? Xu Xiu couldn't help but tug at the corners of her mouth.
"Show." Xu Xiu's mother suddenly sank in her voice.
"Huh?" Xu Xiu was suspicious.
"You worked very hard in your studies, and my mother was very pleased. But don't always be alone, make more friends, connect with others, and try to like someone. You know what Mom means??? β
"Well, it won't. Bow. Xu Xiu hung up the phone after speaking.
Xu Xiu's mother looked at the phone screen and couldn't help sighing.
This kid is just too boring, and he used to be fine.
Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and leaned against the window. I couldn't help but take out the cigarette case from my pocket, the white smoke shrouded him, and the handsome face was even hazy, with a hint of evil.
It was raining a little outside, the streets were wet, the scattered pedestrians were wet, the cars were wet, the whole world seemed to be surrounded by moisture, and there were a few tiny droplets of water hidden in the wind, blowing on the face, and suddenly it was cool.
"Hey." Xiao Chen connected the phone and opened his lips slightly.
"Young master, the company's monthly and quarterly report has been sent to your mailbox."
"I see." After that, he hung up the phone.
I took my laptop out of my suitcase and checked my email.
