Chapter 4 You may not believe that it was the cat that made the first move
Before I remembered the alarm in the early morning, the ancient bluebird was woken up.
Since moving to this cheap place, she has been tormented by her roommates. The energetic young man next door seems to have an unstoppable attachment to nightlife; And the eldest sister who is working in a nearby company is also working hard in order to catch the morning train.
And this house looks well decorated, in fact, the door gap is very large, and the building is very old, so it is not soundproof at all.
Therefore, almost every day, the ancient bluebird has to endure the life of wanting to fall asleep at ten o'clock at night, and being woken up by the clear sound of washing in the morning.
He rolled over and put the pillow on either side of his ear, and it didn't take long...... The bluebird was so hot that he couldn't sleep at all.
With dark circles under his eyes and a weak body, the blue bird got up from the bunk on the floor, sat on the mattress, leaned on the edge of the bed next to him, listened to the clear sound of washing outside, and returned to his senses, waiting for his washing time to come.
The mattress and sheets under the butt were all brought out of school.
As for why not sleep in the soft and spacious bed next to it...... She has a herniated disc in her lumbar spine and cannot sleep in a soft bed.
If it weren't for the rush to graduate, and it was cheap here, she wouldn't want to live in this place for eight lifetimes, and there was no air conditioning.
The sun gradually rises outside the window, and the temperature inside begins to rise slowly. In fact, the temperature at night is really not low, about 30 degrees, since July, this is about the average temperature at night in the city, even if it rains heavily, it can't be changed.
The temperature during the day was about 35 to 40 degrees, and it was at this temperature that the ancient blue bird moved his things from the dormitory to the rental house one by one, and it took two days to move his things from the dormitory to the rental house without help.
It's really a hot and cold world, a group of two or five boys!
Thinking of the roommate who graduated with him and ran home early, Gu Qingniao felt heartbroken for a while.
In a few days, waiting for a few of them without conscience is the upcoming work life of 996, Gu Qingniao thought about it and mourned for those guys who didn't bother to go downstairs to the cafeteria after eating.
Of course, for this hard life, she can only envy it now.
In the autumn of last year, in order to be admitted to a literature major in a college that only recruits one person every year, and in order to completely jump out of the clear science and engineering major that was arranged that year, Gu Qingniao studied hard and worked hard to take the postgraduate examination, and completely missed the school's autumn recruitment.
Fortunately, at that time, her handsome and gentle boyfriend was still supporting her, asking for warmth every day, handing her water and food, which moved her very much.
It's a pity that she still didn't get in, she didn't even get the score at all, and the worst English score was 30 points directly.
After winter, the old bluebird decided that he was going to look for a job. She spent the entire winter break, preparing resumes, reviewing the knowledge of her major, preparing answers to various questions, and buying a decent suit, ready to catch the last batch of spring recruits when the school year started.
However, less than three days after the start of school, her boyfriend suddenly found her, and after eating, he directly proposed to break up.
The reason given by the other party is that I have gone to the capital with Baoyan, and you are still uncertain about your future, so we are not suitable.
They are not suitable, the ancient bluebird knew from the very beginning.
From the time they met, she didn't understand herself, and the people around her didn't understand, why did this handsome, well-studied, gentle and considerate boy like Gu Bluebird like him?
Would you like a frizzy, ordinary-looking girl like Gu Bluebird, who has to be busy making up exams and retaking every semester, and often doing some strange and silly things?
Although I don't understand, Gu Qingniao has been happy for at least two or three years, and finally waited for this day.
They will break up, this is what Gu Qingniao has decided in his heart, at least he didn't wait until he was tired of himself and then didn't tell himself that he had a different love outside, and now he broke up because of his future, which is obviously an ending that allows both of them to end decently.
Gu Qingniao looked at the boy's handsome face, gritted his teeth, pretended to take it for granted, and said, "Yes, you have worked hard all these years to take care of my incompetent girlfriend." ”
"No, no, you're actually still fine, but reality is still reality."
"Poof!" The drink I just drank was almost spit out by the ancient blue bird, and when it came, I was sent a good person card, who can withstand this?
The two of them got together and dispersed, and the time of the evening was finally over, and the boy was very considerate to send the ancient bluebird back to the dormitory, and then said goodbye, and since then he has disappeared downstairs in the girls' dormitory, and has also disappeared in the life of the ancient bluebird.
Probably because of the loss of love, Gu Qingniao lost all his passion and motivation, and all the energy he had mustered before disappeared without a trace.
In addition, when she was in school, she fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and the interviewer asked three questions, interviewed more than 20 companies, and the requirements were lower and lower, but the result was repeated failures, until the end of the spring recruitment, Gu Qingniao did not find a job.
She told herself, who doesn't have a craft for eating?
In the two months before graduating, she began to serialize web novels on the Internet.
Unexpectedly, I got some money very quickly. Although the amount is not much, if it is almost these every month, it is probably enough for her to rent a decent house near the school, and the rest is used for food, and there are still one or two hundred left?
So she proudly called home and told her parents: "I don't want to look for a job!" I'm going to write a novel! ”
Dad kindly encouraged, "Write it!" If you write it, don't come back! ”
So a parent-child agreement was signed.
Gu Qingniao hurriedly finished his graduation project, but because of various absences and unsatisfactory results, he was judged to pass, although he didn't go to the second answer, but he was unlucky enough.
Next came the long-awaited graduation.
A walk-and-go hangover, a bizarre dream, a thrilling adventure, and a dormitory that you can live in for less than two days.
Where am I going to stay?
Packed up her things in a panic, tricked a few cardboard boxes from the courier downstairs, stuffed clothes and bits into it haphazardly, and found the cheapest house next to the school to rent like a big luck, and the agent with a smile on her face took her to the room, promising a lot of benefits.
Within two days, Gu Qingniao rolled out under the sympathetic gaze of her aunt in the dormitory, bidding farewell to her hard college life, bidding farewell to her youth, and began to welcome the second half of her life of selling words for a living.
However, Gu Qingniao, who moved to live outside for the first time, realized that the so-called renting a house outside to live happily is simply a beautiful illusion created by those who have gone out to live.
Now she knew why those who threatened to go out of the dormitory were crowded and noisy, why did the people who had lived outside for less than a few months roll back in the dust, and said a random excuse to continue the bonfire in the dormitory, why did they become like that.
It's really because these rental houses near the school are probably like this.
Of course, if you have air conditioning, you can still consider it.
Sweating profusely, he finished brushing his teeth, and the ancient bluebird didn't even take a bath.
Anyway, less than three minutes after washing, it was a stinky sweat, so it was better to save trouble and pay less utility bills.
Pinched a little, went to the school cafeteria to rub a meal with a fake meal card, enjoyed the coolness of the big fan in the cafeteria, Gu Qingniao carried the bag to the nearest Starbucks, occupied a place with a plug next to it early, and then used a large plug to expand it and plug it into his computer.
The remaining sockets on the strip are, of course, random to others.
After enduring the scorching heat for a few days, Gu Qingniao finally thought of such a way in order to ensure his update speed and amount.
Wake up early, come to Starbucks to rub the air conditioner, order a cup of iced coffee, rub the shame from the morning to the evening, complete the day's updates, and then watch some of your favorite things.
This is the life that a normal person should have, so that Gu Qingniao is immersed in it, and even feels that the experience of the previous night is like another dream.
And after sleeping that night, Gu Qingniao woke up in his seat in the Internet café, never saw those strange things again, never saw those two people again, and entered the other world for only one night, and Gu Qingniao seemed to have nothing to do with it anymore.
So whether those experiences were true or false, and whether he really had that magical ability, Gu Qingniao was in a trance, and felt more and more that he was hallucinating because of the hot weather and staying up late.
In the Starbucks café, there are many people like Gu Bluebird. Some are white-collar workers who come to work on projects in shirts and trousers, some are students who come out to find a cool place to study on their own, and sometimes because of her large row, there will be a lot of people with computers around her.
The ancient bluebird is hidden in the crowd, which is a little comfortable, and there is no need to worry about the waiter driving people.
After eating a piece of cake casually at noon, Gu Qingniao successfully completed his task today, looked up at the gloomy sky outside the window, and then looked at the weather forecast.
what? Heavy rain? Slipped away.
In order to protect the computer, Gu Qingniao quickly packed up his things, and then took away the big plug that many people rely on for a living, and carried the umbrella in his bag out of Starbucks.
There was a cool wind blowing on the streets, and it seemed that the rain was really not too light, and the ancient blue bird hurried through the crowd, through the street, towards his rental house.
There's still clothes hanging on the balcony!
However, on the way home, Gu Qingniao suddenly found that a man in black who came out of Starbucks at the same time as himself seemed to be following him? The ancient bluebird tried to take two detours, only to find that he was still following closely.
Gu Qingniao's back was cold, goosebumps rose, and he suddenly thought of the stories of perverted exhibitionists and lewd/blasphemous criminals that had gone viral in the school before, not only a little creepy.
To this day, is it finally my turn to face such an ugly reality?
Gu Qingniao clenched the computer bag in his hand and decided that no matter what happened, there must be no problems with the manuscript in the computer.
But the footsteps behind him followed unhurriedly, but never quickened the pace. The ancient bluebird also began to breathe a sigh of relief, maybe it was really just a drop-by? After all, there are quite a lot of people who rent here in the same place where they live.
In this way, Gu Qingniao walked to the door of his building, took advantage of the gap between the corners, glanced at the man behind him, and found that his face was normal, and there was nothing abnormal at all, so he completely put his mind at ease, went upstairs happily, and returned to his room.
Putting down the computer bag, opening the curtain and looking down, the ancient bluebird was startled and sat on the ground.
Why did the man just now keep looking straight down at his window?
