Cheng Ye put on a coat and hat to block out the cold light in the cabin, and she leaned her head against the window as close to the light as possible light years away. The clouds above the zero point are particularly fascinating, and the stars parallel to them are much more dazzling than those seen on land.

She retracted her gaze and focused on the backpack at her feet, which was still reluctant to throw away after taking off the thread, which was stuffed with her relevant documents.

The white light flashed in front of him, and when Cheng Ye smiled at the photographer, it was already three days later.

She looked at the man beside her, who was also smiling, wearing a clean white shirt, revealing his smooth forehead, and the strange sense of maturity amused her.

"What's wrong?" The man had a puzzled smile on his lips.

Cheng Ye shook his head, his heart warmed, and he hugged his arm and said to the photographer: "Big brother, help me take another picture." With that, he rested his head on his shoulder.

The photographer's eldest brother waved his arm to direct the couple, "The man turned his face a little, yes, his eyes looked at the lady." That's right, laugh! ”

In this way, Cheng Ye had a husband, which was the most willful thing she had ever done in her life.

Six years ago.

Two o'clock in the morning is when the neon finishes fighting.

Staying up late and alcohol consumed most of Cheng Ye's energy, her temples ached faintly, she walked into the convenience store downstairs of her home, asked the male clerk for a glass of water, the cold liquid slid down the throat, and she was awake for three minutes.

The male clerk secretly admired the person by the window after finishing his work. With so many customers every day, his eyes only follow her. She comes almost every day, either early or late.

Compared with women, Cheng Ye is tall, not particularly beautiful, and more heroic. How to describe it? Like a lonely red-crowned crane, whoever accidentally glances at it can be swept into it and enter a wonderful world.

But a few days ago, something happened that broke the impression of her, it turned out that she was not a lonely red-crowned crane, but an angry bird, and in an instant her image became vivid and interesting.

On the same night a few days ago, the cars left aside were deserted.

After counting the goods, the male clerk smoked a cigarette in the corner outside the store. A familiar figure in the distance walked towards here, and he took a hard sip and quickly pinched it off. As usual, he made her a bowl of udon, still full of it.

"Hello, here's the drink you dropped yesterday." The male clerk stepped forward with a bottle of drink, he just wanted to talk to her.

Cheng Ye turned his head suspiciously, and it was a smiling face.

The male clerk smiled at her bulging cheeks and cute appearance, put down the drink and said, "Yesterday was the last day of the event, and I will give rice juice when I buy the full amount, but you left in too much of a hurry, I didn't have time to say, I'm sorry." ”

The young clerk's smile was different from the professionalism of others, too bright, even a little harsh. Out of politeness, she hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth, smiled back at him, and said, "Thank you, your memory is so good." ”

"You're welcome, you're good-looking, so I remember." After the male clerk finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and said uneasily: "I'm joking." ”

Cheng Ye smiled awkwardly: "Well, you are also good-looking." ”

The male clerk made sure that she was not unpleasant, and said with relief, "Then I won't bother you." Back at the counter, he complained to himself in frustration.

After eating the last bite of noodles, Cheng Ye cleaned up the table and went home. She stared disappointedly at the elevator maintenance notices, playing music on her phone, complaining that the efficiency of the neighborhood was too slow, and climbing up in the darkness. Halfway up, she faintly heard some strange noises that were sometimes big and sometimes small, she turned off the music and continued to walk up, the higher the floor, the clearer the strange sounds.

She nervously grabbed the railing, tilted her head to look at the gap above, and went up a few more floors, and in an instant the smell of alcohol came to her face, and she frowned and was stupid.

I saw a naked and pot-bellied perverted man lying on the stairs with a mouth humming and doing shameful things in his hands.

When this perverted man saw someone coming, he didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding it, but intensified it, and in a drunken state, he could still tell whether it was a man or a woman in front of him, and even grabbed her trouser leg and let her sit down.

The undigested food was churning in his stomach, Cheng Ye couldn't help but want to vomit, smashed the rice juice in his hand, and kicked him by the way.

The perverted man grabbed the railing and staggered to his feet: "You dare to kick Lao Tzu!" ”

"Put on your pants, you disgusting old bastard!" Cheng Ye scolded.

"Girl, I'll beat you to death!" The perverted man tried to grab her by the collar, but he pounced. In annoyance, he picked up his pants and pulled out his belt, and swung it so hard that he almost slapped Cheng Ye's face.

Cheng Ye was glad that he reacted quickly, and hurriedly ran downstairs, shouting as he ran: "Come on!" Come after me! ”

"If you catch up with you, you'll have to vent my fire!" The perverted man grabbed his pants and chased her with a belt in his hand.

Cheng Ye's steps were running fast, and she met the panting convenience store clerk head-on, she didn't even think about pulling the clerk's wrist, "Hurry up!" ”

The male clerk staggered and looked down at the hand that was clutching him.

The two of them slipped out of the apartment building, Cheng Ye rushed directly into the corner of the convenience store, picked up the fire extinguisher and said to the clerk, "I'm sorry, borrow it." After saying that, she strode out with a fire extinguisher, and saw the perverted man standing on the road and looking around.

Cheng Ye aimed the nozzle at the perverted man and shouted: "I'll help you vent your fire now!" ”

Whewβ€”β€”

Seeing that the situation was not right, the male clerk held his breath and rushed into the billowing white smoke, grabbed the man's collar and dragged it aside. The perverted man rolls on the side with dry powder and coughs violently.

After confirming that there was no threat, the male clerk carefully observed Cheng Ye and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find any injuries.

"You help me call the police, this man is a pervert, a lewd maniac." Cheng Ye said.

The male clerk found a thick rope, tied up the perverted man with brute force, and called the police, "You go inside, I'll wait here." ”

Cheng Ye nodded, thanked him with a smile, and suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, you also live here?" ”

The male clerk shook his head.

"Then why are you in the hallway?"

The male clerk hesitated for a moment and said, "My friend lives here, I'll go to his house to get something." ”

Cheng Ye nodded and didn't ask anything.

There have been frequent sirens in this area recently, and the male clerk turned into the security room when he was not at ease, and it happened that the security guard brother was not at his post, he stared at the monitoring and immediately found a drunk man lying in the corridor, seeing that Cheng Ye was getting closer and closer to him, he rushed into the stairwell uneasily.

When the memories ended, the doorbell rang that he had long been tired of, and the male clerk watched Cheng Ye squeeze out of the store hard, and stepped forward to help her push her in exchange for a smile.

As soon as Cheng Ye entered the house, he stared at the dust everywhere in the living room and the magazines scattered on the ground. She should quickly clean up the house, wipe the dust attached to the furniture, and concentrate on chasing away the little creatures hiding in the corners.

The imagination is very beautiful, at this moment she collapsed on the large sofa that occupied half of the living room, slightly drunk alone.

The longer a person lives, the more exaggerated and lazy he becomes, tomorrow tomorrow, and tomorrow.

The old-fashioned three-petaled leaf fan hanging from the ceiling was shaking its head and spinning, and the alcohol-held brain was jumping illogically, wondering if the fan would throw itself on her with inertia and split her in two. Or smashed directly on the coffee table, and the broken parts flew towards her, splashing a little blood?

The buzzing sound swirled around her ears, and just like that, she fell asleep in the senseless delusion of murder.

In her dream, she saw a bird with open wings, flying around the river of clouds, and after a while it landed on her shoulder, and when she looked sideways, the bird transformed into a human form.

Cheng Ye opened his eyes and once again examined the lucidness of the dream. The outline of the dream is clear, and a smile is as bright as the stars, and it is so warm that it makes people tremble.

She dialed a number in her head and said loudly, "I want to live in your house!" ”

On the other side of the city, the sky was bright, and the soft rain fell on the green and yellow foliage that peeked into the house.

The mobile phone rang instead of the alarm clock, Huo Jingyu closed his eyes and listened to the other party's unreasonable request, and said coldly: "Get out." ”

He looked out the window at the foggy morning, lifted the quilt, and a clammy cold of the south penetrated into his thin clothes, and he put on his cotton slippers as he was accustomed to, and walked out of the room without flinching.

I don't know where to see a saying: If you meet someone who can leave the bed without difficulty in the cold winter, you may need to be afraid.

"Barbie, it's time to eat."

Huo Jingyu knocked on the half-wall-sized fish tank, and the big fish sensed the calling, swinging its streamlined cannonball-shaped body and slowly swimming towards him.

He smiled and threw a few small shrimps, turned on the light, admired the charming ruby luster reflected off its scales, and when it was full, turned off the light, and the scales returned to a blue-purple color.

When Huo Jingyu was making breakfast, someone knocked on the door, and the knocking sound was very rhythmic, like a set code. He turned a deaf ear and slowly fried the poached eggs in the pan, until the knock became impatient and messy, and then paced to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Cheng Ye, who was wearing pajamas, immediately squeezed in with a suitcase, quickly took off his shoes, and complained: "Can your doorbell fix it!" Forget it, it's the same whether you fix it or not. She didn't dare to look at his face, for fear of being kicked out, and went straight to the guest room and locked the door.

Huo Jingyu found the spare key to open the door lock, and pulled up the person covered with the quilt, "I didn't promise to let you live here." ”

Cheng Ye said aggrievedly: "I quit the lease, and there is no one living there." ”

"Why can't you live there?"

"The building is so old, the walls are peeling, and sometimes it rains heavily and it seeps water."

"You said before that the old house was stylish to live in."

"The style is temporary, it's too much taste!! I didn't think it tasted so big! As soon as the people upstairs flushed the water, the smell came out of my toilet. Cheng Ye danced excitedly, and as he spoke, he rolled himself up like a burrito and shrunk into the corner of the bed with the quilt.

Huo Jingyu grabbed her feet and dragged her down, and when she was about to fall to the ground, she said loudly: "And there are perverts, the police are here!" ”

"What's going on?" Huo Jingyu stopped what he was doing and asked.

Cheng Ye moved back to the head of the bed with difficulty, and said: "The elevator is broken, I can only climb the stairs, the stairs are so dark, I bravely go up, and then I saw a pervert who didn't wear pants, still doing that disgusting thing, and dared to grab me!" ”

"And then?"

"Then I kicked him and ran downstairs to spray him with a fire extinguisher, called the police, explained to the police and went home." Cheng Ye sighed: "How about it, I am always sober and have stimulated my potential." ”

Huo Jingyu nodded in agreement, "Prove that you have sufficient anti-riot capabilities, and you can get out of my house now." ”

Cheng Ye was stunned, she didn't mean that! "You're mistaken, I mean it's dangerous! Why don't you have a little conscience, if others would have been shushing and caring for you. ”

"Where the others are, I'll send you there."

"You!" Cheng Ye wanted to stand up, but he couldn't step away from his left foot and tripped over his right foot, and fell to the end of the bed with a bang, "Ouch! ”

An old-fashioned bell rings in the living room, strung together with regular and simple notes.

Huo Jingyu grabbed the corner of the quilt and pulled her hard, shaking her out of the quilt, he said, "I'm going out to do something now, you give me honesty." ”

Cheng Ye looked up in surprise, wanting to ask what he meant, but he couldn't ask, maybe he would change his mind when he asked.

After he went out, Cheng Ye cheered loudly, and happily came to the table to eat the sandwiches on the plate, finally not having to live alone so lonely.

Naturally, she opened the refrigerator, looked at the neat ingredients in it, and resisted the urge to mess with them and quickly took out a bottle of juice.

The first time she stayed at his house for more than an hour, she sat leisurely on a rocking chair on the balcony. At the same time, she observed the situation around her, all neat and clean that she did not have.

She stared at the big fish tank, and what was swimming gracefully inside was the big fish that Huo Jingyu would never let anyone get close to. The water in the tank is very clear, and the pebbles are covered with no impurities, and you can see the dedication of the owner. The big fish that was swimming in the tank sank back to the bottom of the tank because of her approach, and she took a boring sip of juice and banged on the tank to try to get its attention.

"What are you doing?"

A voice that shouldn't have appeared at this moment suddenly came out, so frightened that Cheng Ye almost spilled the juice, she turned around and shouted: "You scared me to death!" After shouting, she jumped up and down a few times, and barely relieved the palpitations in her heart.

"Stay away from Barbie." Huo Jingyu ordered.

Cheng Ye muttered unhappily: "It's just a fish." ”

"What did you say?"

Cheng Ye looked at Huo Jingyu, "I didn't say anything." You also changed your clothes? "He went out in a tracksuit, but now he's in a crisp suit.

Huo Jingyu did not answer her question, but threw her a rag and ordered her to wipe off the forehead marks left on the fish tank.

After Cheng Ye polished the fish tank, Huo Jingyu had already changed back into sportswear, and he said to her, "Change your pajamas." ”

"Why?"

"Buy furniture."

Just buying furniture, Cheng Ye casually put on a long coat to cover the bells and whistles of pajamas.

"Buy your furniture." Huo Jingyu added.

Cheng Ye opened his mouth wide in confusion, "I don't even have a house to do with furniture?" ”

"You'll move into my little apartment the day after tomorrow."

Cheng Ye's eyes lit up and he hurriedly ran into the room. Five minutes later, the unkempt man appeared in front of Huo Jingyu in a bright light, "Let's go, let's go!" She anxiously pulled him out the door.
