Chapter 8: Awakening from a Big Dream

In the evening, Cao Lulu was sent back to the Suida Academy of Fine Arts by Tu Bai. Hearing that the little brother in green had lost his trace at the mouth of the alley, she was relieved and relieved.

Because she received a news clue award of 6,000 yuan, she decided to resign from her tutoring and finally had no worries; Coupled with the fact that I was busy preparing for the upcoming final exams, a week passed before I knew it.

It's the weekend again, and there's finally movement in the dimly lit basement.

Crash!

With the sound of turning over, many hundred-dollar bills slipped down like snowflakes.

Qingman tried hard a few times, and finally opened his eyes with difficulty.

Finally got through it! She exhaled a breath of turbid air at the moldy ceiling, took out a long-lasting domestic mobile phone and glanced at the date, and then forced herself to sit up from the bed slowly.

June 2 – So, May is over? Why didn't the landlord come to collect the rent? Could it be that her old man was busy with the festival and forgot about it when she was happy?

Qingman dragged his half-wooden body to the table, picked up a glass of water that had been sitting for a few days, and then sat down in the chair and began to check the missed calls on his phone.

An unfamiliar number that is not stored called three times, presumably by a certain owner who needs to work at height.

More than a dozen calls concentrated at noon and late at night recorded the silent wails of the dead houses before they were on the verge of starvation.

The landlord didn't hold her breath in the end, and called to collect debts as early as the morning of May 29; There are also nearly 100 frantic life-threatening calls of Guo Erfat, predicting that the work she didn't do last month will die again.

……

Life is not easy, but fortunately, she still has newly earned coins to support her life.

He wiped the sweat stains from his body, changed into a new set of black clothes, counted more than two dozen banknotes and stuffed them into his pocket, and swayed out the door.

"Hey, Aoko!" Neighbor Xiaofeng heard the movement and hurriedly opened the door and waved at him vigorously.

"Something?" Qingman rejected her deliberate intimacy in his heart, and frowned slightly.

"Have you eaten? I have soy milk and fritters that I just bought here! Xiaofeng was wearing a jumpsuit shorts, revealing a large number of white arms and thighs, especially the red nails on her hands were even more dazzling.

"I've eaten it!" Qingman turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting to entangle with her more, but unexpectedly, Xiaofeng leaned against the door and chatted about a gossip: "Have you heard?" Something happened to the landlord! ”

It turns out that she is as fancy as her, and she lacks a person to talk to!

Qingman was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the last month's rent stuffed in his pocket, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I heard that the landlord's younger brother killed someone a few days ago and was arrested. She's in a hurry to raise money these days, and she's going around to get people ......"

"Oh." Qingman nodded, and after the fatigue subsided, the sharp and fine pain like pins and needles all over his body hit endlessly. Although she was starving to death, she suddenly wanted to go back to bed and lie down again.

"Don't just nod—" Xiao Feng was a little angry, "This matter has a lot to do with us!" ”

"What can it do with us?" Qingman wanted to end the conversation quickly, and began to slowly touch the key from his pocket.

"Why doesn't it matter? What if she wants to ask for money in a hurry and rashly raises the rent? Let's talk about it in advance, no one can agree to this rent increase first, otherwise they will be sinners for all tenants! ”

Special! The key was left in the house just after changing clothes! Qingman's mouth opened slightly, and he was motionless with regret.

I don't want to, this simple action that lacks vivid expressions was misunderstood by Xiaofeng next to him as a sudden realization. She was so proud that she couldn't help but say a few more words.

"Ah, it's not that we are ruthless and don't save us; It's really the landlord's brother who is too ruthless and cruel. ”

What's that unlocking phone? Qingman didn't hesitate to spend a few extra dollars, and he didn't want to stay here stupidly anymore.

Her brother was also a fool, and when he heard that he was drinking at a bar at night, he suddenly went crazy...... His strength skyrocketed several times, and more than a dozen people were not his opponents...... When I walked, my bones creaked......"

Originally, Qingman's face was loveless, and he was scanning the small advertisements posted everywhere, and when he heard Xiaofeng's description, he suddenly turned his head around.

"What?"

"What? Is her brother a bastard? A dozen people are not his opponents? Xiaofeng couldn't find the point, and repeated what he had just said with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.

Qingman was speechless about her logic and memory ability, and without waiting for her to continue to repeat unconsciously, he jumped out with a whoosh.

Besides, Tu Bai, since he "lost" Qingman, he "accepted his fate" and stopped; If it weren't for the occasional trip to the rest of the newspaper business, the comfortable ones would be born immortals.

On this day, in accordance with Grandpa Luo's instructions, he took the initiative to make an appointment with Wan Ziling, the daughter of Wansheng Real Estate, who had just returned from studying abroad, to have dinner in Xiaozhongnan.

As soon as he took his seat, he saw a woman walking towards him with Nana on her back. White porcelain skin, black hair like a waterfall, especially thin eyebrows, crooked eyes, smiling and smiling appearance is quite classical.

No wonder even Grandpa Luo tried his best to create opportunities and pout himself to make peace.

"Are you Tu Bai?" After Wan Ziling took his seat, he still couldn't believe that the legendary newspaper predator was so young; It was as if fame and family history were an imposed burden on him.

"What? Speaking of which, we have been through the same window together, and there is no impression at all? Tu Bai casually made tea for her, and her words and demeanor were really like old friends who had known each other for many years.

"Snort-" Wan Ziling was amused, and the only remaining inferiority complex dissipated cleanly. "Can a kindergarten be called a classmate?"

"Can't you?" Tu Bai pretended to shrug his shoulders in embarrassment, "Then why don't we start over, and I'll introduce myself first?" ”

"Come less, there is no sincerity at all!" Wan Ziling laughed out loud, and his eyes were even more crooked.

Tu Bai's eyes reflected her smile, and her heart seemed to be lightly crossed by feathers. There is light and shadow passing by on the frozen lake, and although it is too late to catch the changes, it always feels that something is different.

The atmosphere was just right, and the hall played a soothing and gentle "To Alice" at some point. Tu Bai was whispering something to Wan Ziling, when suddenly a string of discordant mobile phone ringtones rang in his pocket.

The word "sparrow" on the mobile phone screen is constantly beating, with the characteristics of the owner teasing bi and multi-tongued.

Luo Que, after failing to do anything last time and being deeply disgusted by Tu Bai, he reverted to his old ways after less than two days. A few days ago, I was clubbing in a nightclub, and I was actually beaten.

Only yesterday did he regain his personal freedom, so he owed his son and called Tu Bai for comfort. But what kind of bodhisattva is Tu Bai? shouted at him "love concubine" and "beauty", sprayed a lot of "venom" every minute, and at the end, he did not forget to praise Grandpa Luo's selflessness as a matchmaker for himself.

Leave your own grandchildren alone, idle eggs. Hurt to care about other people's marriages, this is how to eat inside and outside the spirit?! Luo Que was furious, and after learning the news, he began to harass Tu Bai wildly.

But Tu Bai didn't respond, he only happily took out his mobile phone and turned it to silent, counting the missed calls as a pastime.

One, two, three...... Thirty-eight......

In just half an hour, there were so many missed calls on the phone. This is in line with Luo Que's style of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days - he doesn't really matter, right?

Tu Bai was stunned for a moment, and finally apologized to Wan Ziling, and scratched the answer button beside him.
