Ye Luan returned to his rental house. The environment here is extremely poor, and hundreds of families live in one building.

The communal kitchen, the hallway full of washed and old clothes, is their nest, and they are the lowest level of society.

Ye Luan opened the door lock and walked in, the room was cramped, and there was a musty smell wafting in the air, he waved his hand, coughed a few times, sat down in front of the dilapidated desk, and turned on the computer.

Ye Luan sat in front of the computer, staring at the screen in a daze for a long time, there was no word on the screen except for the title.

"Is it because you've lost your inspiration?" Star Swirl thought to herself.

At the moment when Ye Luan's fingers touched the keyboard, a hurried knock suddenly came from outside the door: "Open the door, open the door, I just saw you come back!" ”

Ye Luan sighed helplessly, got up and went to open the door.

Standing in the doorway was a stocky woman, dressed in a rose-red nightdress, which made Star Swirl's eyes spicy.

"I said Xiao Ye, when are you going to default on the rent?" The fat woman asked.

"Sister Liu, I'll call you as soon as I get the manuscript fee this month." Ye Luan looked at her with a simple and harmless expression.

The woman's eyes rolled, the smile on the corner of her mouth cooled, and she said, "Two months ago, you said that. I still have two little hairy heads waiting to eat at home, and you can't keep not giving me money! Besides, haven't you never published it? ”

"I will, I will be able to publish it, and I will be able to pay back all the money I owe when the time comes!" Ye Luan's throat rolled, arguing weakly.

The woman looked at him twice: "Give you a few more days, and if you don't take the money at the end of the month, just take your luggage and get out!" With that, he turned around and left menacingly.

Looking at the fat woman's back, Ye Luan silently closed the door and sat back in front of the computer.

"This time, you must create well!" He seemed to have made up his mind, and began to concentrate on typing on the keyboard.

After a quarter of an hour, the number of words on the screen gradually increased, and Star Swirl couldn't help but wonder what he was writing when the words didn't seem to connect a complete sentence.

Ye Luan nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly frowned again, and there was the cry of a child next door, as well as the sound of a husband and wife arguing. It seems that the house is poorly insulated, and Star Swirl can hear the voice next door.

Ye Luan, who was interrupted from his train of thought, was in a bad mood, he took a cigarette and put it to his lips, got up and walked out of the room.

It was still snowing heavily, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians. At this time, it was the rush hour after work, but Ye Luan walked slowly forward against the flow of people. A trail of his footprints in the snow was immediately covered by more messy footprints.

He walked all the way to the back of a somewhat deserted garden, took out a lighter, and lit a cigarette on his lips. He took a deep breath, but suddenly coughed violently, coughing until tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, Ye Luan sat on the bench and looked at the gray sky: "Why did you come to this world?" ”

The sound of the wind whirring in his ears made Ye Luan's clothes thin, and even Star Swirl felt cold and cold to the bone.

"What are you doing here?" A bright smiling face appeared in Ye Luan's sight, and the scene in front of him seemed to be dyed with warmth.

"Are you ......?" Ye Luan couldn't remember who the girl in front of him was, and asked suspiciously.

"I'm Wanwan, from the grocery store, don't you remember?" The girl smiled slightly, her eyes like a crescent moon in the sky.

"Wanwan ......" Ye Luan pinched the cigarette case in her hand, and suddenly remembered that she had bought cigarettes in her grocery store yesterday.

"It's snowing so hard, isn't it cold for you to sit here?" Wanwan put the umbrella in her hand on top of Ye Luan's head.

Ye Luan sighed: "There's nowhere to go, I can only leave my fate here......"

Wanwan's eyes widened, and she said anxiously: "You don't plan to sit here all night, you'll freeze to death!" ”

Ye Luan smiled weakly, coughed a few more times, and said, "No one will care." ”

Wanwan bit her lip and made a faint voice: "If I am willing to take you in, you ...... Would you like to go to my house? ”

Hey, how can you bring a strange man home? What if it's the bad guys? Star Swirl can't help but hold her forehead.

Ye Luan chuckled: "Why am I unwilling?" ”

Ye Luan followed Wanwan's footsteps, silently walked to a nearby apartment without saying a word. Although this is not a high-end apartment, it is thousands of times better than Ye Luan's rental house.

"I remember you're a writer, and you mentioned it the last time you bought cigarettes, right?" Wanwan opened the door and invited Ye Luan in.

Ye Luan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It's just an unknown writer." He looked around, the room was clean and warm, and the glass vase on the table had two lilies in it, exuding a quiet fragrance, and the room felt like Wanwan's person.

"Do you live here alone?" Ye Luan asked.

Wanwan took the slippers from the shoe cabinet and gave them to him: "The girl who shared the house before has moved away, and I live alone now." She looked at the slippers and smiled, "Sorry, this is from a former roommate, you may be too small to wear." ”

Ye Luan took off his shoes and stepped on the ground barefoot: "That's fine." ”

Wanwan's eyes fell on his toes, which looked white and cleanly manicured, even though they were men's feet. She was a little more interested in this man who lived in a slum and had an extremely outstanding appearance and temperament.

"I've cleaned the room where my roommate lived, but I don't have any new bedding for you. If you don't mind, you can use mine. Wanwan said with a smile.

"Of course I don't mind," Ye Luan looked at the room and asked, "How much ......does it cost to share a room?"

Wanwan interrupted him and said, "Didn't you just say 'take you in'?" Don't talk about rent. If you can't get over it, help me clean my room every day. ”

Looking at her simple smiling face, Ye Luan's heart was suddenly stung, he lowered his head and buried his face in the shadows and said, "Why are you so good to me, I can't afford it." ”

Wanwan walked up to him, suddenly stretched out her hand and touched his cheek, her eyes were full of pity: "Don't say that, I believe you will be fine." ”

Feeling the warmth of her fingertips, Ye Luan opened his arms and hugged the girl into his arms, hot tears sliding down his cheeks and into Wanwan's neckline.

"You're crying, why?" Wanwan asked softly patting him on the back.

Ye Luan didn't answer, and the choked throat gradually turned into a whining cry, and the louder and louder cry seemed to be venting something. A few minutes passed, and he slowly stopped crying, leaned on Wanwan's shoulder and whispered, "It's been so long, you're the first person to say that to me." ”

"It's all gone."

"yes, it's all gone."
