When I opened my eyes the next morning, I looked at the small lamp in the basement ceiling and the barely visible window outside, and I found that I still couldn't accept the fact that I was living in the basement. I don't know how long I'm going to stay here, but my mood and future are like the sun outside, with no end in sight.

Arauy told me to go upstairs for dinner.

In fact, people like us who live together in a shared house solve the problem of eating on our own, and Arauy took out my share of breakfast on purpose. I was surprised and delighted at this kind of action. Perhaps, Arauy knew that I didn't have the money to fill my stomach at the time.

Arauy was more unimpressed by my feelings; "It's okay, who hasn't had a difficult time. It's good to be in the past. I smiled wryly and didn't speak. If this low point in life can be passed casually, it will be a great joy for all, but after all, we don't have the magic to say the haze away.

Arauy makes the standard Western breakfast. Actually, I'm not used to eating this kind of breakfast, just like thinking about the milk and sandwiches that Aunt Qin prepared every morning at Cao's house. But I didn't have the capital of hypocrisy at that time, in the face of money and despair, not to mention the problem of eating habits, filling my stomach is victory.

The other two people who shared the house together were a couple, Canadians. After the two of them greeted me politely, they hurried to work. After they left, Arauy said to me, "It's a nice couple, but it's Dink. ”

I asked suspiciously, "Why did you come to rent a house if you were born and raised?" Don't they have a home of their own? ”

Arauy laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "You're so funny. Isn't that normal? Do all the people you see in your country have houses? When she asked, I was stunned. I smiled sheepishly. Yes, in just two days, my logical thinking seems to have been confused.

Arauy went on to tell me: "People here have an easier life. They rarely set their sights on material things, such as houses, cars, jewelry. They will pursue things that are more valuable and meaningful to them in their limited lives, such as freedom, happiness, and so on. You're like them, you're Dink. Maybe in the eyes of others, such a person is quite irresponsible, and he is quite self-conscious, after all, there are parents and elders on both sides. However, they themselves do not think so. Actually, I think it's pretty good. Do you know? If a person is burdened by love, it is a sad thing to sin. ”

Arauy said as he ate his breakfast. The girl in front of me is not beautiful, but she is very attractive. Round face, big eyes. An Asian face. When she mentioned love, I suddenly saw a hint of loss in her eyes. I couldn't help but ask her, "You, how did you move out and live?" Is it because of the need for independence? ”

She smiled, "No. My dad is Asian and my mom is Canadian. When I was born, I wasn't here. According to my father, when I was two years old, my mother suddenly said that she wanted to return to her hometown, so she went back to Canada alone. At that time, the family thought that my mother would come back after a few days, but it turned out to be a long time coming. In the beginning, I always called home and asked me, asked my dad. But then slowly, it became nothing. When I was 5 years old, my dad took me here to look for my mom, but I didn't find it. Many years later, Dad found another woman in the local area. How so? That woman, be nice to my dad. However, they don't like me. I didn't say what we watched in the news, but I couldn't see my dad in the middle. So, I moved out. ”

I lowered my head and listened to her tell her story. Suddenly looked up and asked her, "I remember you said you had been to China?" ”

"Haha~ Of course, otherwise, how can I speak Chinese? During my time at university, there was an opportunity for international exchange students. I signed up, but I didn't expect it, but I really approved it. At that time, the exchange country was China. I especially like China, but your language is too difficult to learn. I had been there for almost two years, and it was only when I was leaving that I realized that I had suddenly learned something. I've met you, and I've been feeling more slippery than I said in the past two days. Arauy sat across from me and said happily.

"So, why were you at the hotel yesterday?"

"When I was in China, I was an exchange student, and I came here to play. I played with them for two days, and yesterday before they left, they came to see me, so they found a random hotel to stay. When you see me, they're all gone. Arauy smiled, "Anyway, I think it's quite fate that I know you." ”

Actually, I should be right. God let me meet her, it was really a godsend.

I can see that Arauy's financial conditions are okay, and the reason why he chooses to be alone is to be quiet.

In her words, when people reach a certain age, they hate the hustle and bustle, and you will find that you will be upset and annoyed in the crowd, but in fact, what adults are more afraid of is the lonely feeling of walking back into their lonely shadow after the hustle and bustle.

From her description, I found out that Arauy is also a girl with a lot of personality. After graduating from university, I majored in accounting, and after graduating, I worked for a medium-sized company for nearly two years, but then quit because it was boring. And now she works in a cake shop near the rented house. The income is okay.

But Arauy also said that she doesn't have much to do with money, and she doesn't want to make her life too tired, as long as she is relaxed and happy. When Arauy said this, I was silent.

Later, when I talked to her about my background, Arauy said, "No wonder! The first time I saw you, I felt the urge to help you. It's not just because they are all Asian faces, it turns out that the blood and similarity of our life experiences are also the reason why the two of us are together! ”

I mentioned to Arauy that I had been deceived by Zhao Song, and Arauy was very excited. When even said they were going to take me to the police. But I still refused.

And it wasn't until many years later that every time Arauy mentioned to me that Zhao Song who killed a thousand knives, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and it felt as if she was being deceived.

After breakfast, Arauy told me to go to work. And before and after she went out, I received a message from Cao Ge.

In the text message, Cao Ge asked me, "Mu Xi, are you okay over there?" A few simple words instantly filled my heart with sourness. I endured it, I endured it, but I found that it didn't work at all.

Until the last moment, when I couldn't help it, I lay on the table and started crying!
