Chapter 3: The Shocking Side
At No. 36 Wuluo Street, Xiao Luo looked up at the door number on the white picket fence and jumped off the bicycle.
According to the note left by his mother, Xiao Luo took many detours to reach Sister Wang's house.
Quiet location away from the city center, no noise of cars and horses.
Inside the white fence is a verdant garden, and looking down the wide road in the middle of the flowers, a European-style villa comes into view.
One side of the white stucco wall is covered with lush creepers, and the emerald dripping can be seen at a glance. On the other side of the house is a milky white spiral staircase, with smooth lines and plain colors, which set off the simple and elegant decoration of the whole house. The roof is made of crimson bricks, and the heavy red is diluted into a hazy color in the sunlight.
In front of the villa, except for a wide and tidy road, only a large green grass remains. It had rained just two days ago, and the air was filled with the smell of grass.
Xiao Luo took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
The door was opened by a woman in her fifties, with blue short sleeves and a polka-dot skirt of the same color, wavy curly hair, a smile on her face, and a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
"Hello aunt, may I ask the king...... Is Aunt Wang here? ”
Xiao Luo stopped his bicycle and bowed obediently.
The woman looked at her for a while, and the smile in the corner of her eyes became heavier, "You are Xiaoluo, right?" Come on in. ”
At the woman's warm invitation, Xiao Luo was pulled into the house in a daze.
The intricate crystal chandelier emits a bright white light, and the entire living room emits a soft layer of light under the illumination.
In the middle of a group of bloated brown sofas is a white carved coffee table, a set of blue and white porcelain tea cups on the shiny tabletop, and a thick plush carpet underneath.
The air conditioner in the room was turned on very loudly, and Xiao Luo stood in front of the coffee table blankly, the whole person was groggy, as if he had stepped into the clouds.
Taking advantage of the time when the woman went into the kitchen to pour water, Xiao Luo coughed embarrassedly, "That aunt, may I ask where Aunt Wang is ......?"
Before she could finish speaking, the woman came out with a white porcelain cup.
"You're here to get the bracelet, upstairs. Sit down for a while and take it later, okay? ”
"En......" Xiao Luo, who was at a loss, had no choice but to take the cup handed by the woman and sat down on the brown sofa in the living room, "You are Aunt Wang?" ”
No matter how stupid she was, she could guess a thing or two from a woman's mannerism.
"Yes, then you are Xiao Luo, right?"
"Yes."
"Twenty-one years old?"
"Yes."
"Still in school?"
……
Xiao Luo helplessly and politely answered a number of strange questions from the woman, from name and age to the object of friends, and when she was about to talk about her childhood, Xiao Luo finally couldn't help it, "That aunt, it's not early, and my home is far away." ”
The woman calmly put down the glass and said to her with a smile, "It's okay, you can live here." ”
Xiao Luo was slightly embarrassed: "This is not very good. ”
The woman's eyes were fixed on Xiao Luo, and she said in a sincere tone: "When your mother saved my life, I always wanted to repay her, but I never found a chance. Your mother is not here this time, and I can take care of you for a while......"
Xiao Luo was a little embarrassed by her eyes, so he lowered his head and thought about it.
It seems that there is such a thing, once my mother came home after four or five days, and after returning home, she gave her a very convincing reason: Sister Wang had a heart attack and needed to be taken care of.
"I heard my mother talk about it, but ......"
Knowing that the person in front of her was going to refuse, the woman interrupted her, "I was born in a traditional family, and I was taught to 'repay the grace of a drop of water', you may think that the way was done out of instinct and without expecting anything in return, but I can't forget your mother who braved the heavy rain to send me to the hospital." ”
"I've been in poor health, and I don't think I'll live long, so I'm just going to have this unfulfilled wish. Luoluo, can you give me a chance to repay my wish? ”
Every time I see the heroine being confessed by the infatuated male second in the dog-blood romance drama, Xiao Luo can't help but sympathize with the heroine. Often, people tend to focus on the affection of the giver and ignore the enormous pressure on the recipient.
is obviously a good friend who can't be parted with or an irrelevant young talent, but if he is forced to pretend to be bitter and hateful, he will be ruthless and resolute, and then he will be called cold-blooded and cruel, which is really sad.
Xiao stared at the leafy plane tree outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and his heart was very sad.
I thought it was a simple bracelet, but now it has fallen to the point where it is difficult to ride a tiger.
"What is my aunt going to do with me?"
The woman's eyes lit up, and her tone was expectant, "I heard from your mother that the house you live in is about to expire, why don't you move here?" ”
Xiao Luo: "......"
Looking at Xiao Luo's face slightly flushed due to embarrassment, the woman slowed down her tone and persuaded her step by step: "As soon as your mother leaves, I will have no one to talk to, how deserted such a big empty house looks." If you stay, you can not only chat with me to relieve boredom, but also save a sum of rent, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone? ”
Xiao Luo was a little dizzy by the repeated bombardment of the woman, rubbed his head and muttered in a low voice: "It seems to be like this, it's just ......"
"That's right." Seeing Xiao Luo loosen her mouth, the woman took her hand with a smile, "Let's go, I'll show you the room upstairs first." ”
The upstairs is completely different from the downstairs: simple black and white, no bells and whistles, black oak square tables with soft edges, small and cozy sofas of the same color, and white floor lamps in the corners give off a soft and delicate light.
The whole color palette is harmonious and natural, giving a simple and warm sense of intimacy.
Xiao Luo followed the woman to look at the layout of each room, and finally stopped in front of the master bedroom.
Pushing open the door, there is black and white as far as the eye can see, black and white wardrobes, black and white curtains, pure black sheets and quilts, and the only bright spot may be the transparent crystal lamp at the head of the bed.
Xiao Luo looked at the solemn atmosphere in the room, and his scalp was numb, how boring people would be to arrange the room like this?
"This is Zeran's room, but he doesn't come back often, your room is next door, I'll take you to see it." The woman closed the door and turned to open another room.
The room was huge, comparable to the size of her entire rental house. The room is fully furnished, the floor is covered with a soft red carpet, and the whole decoration is warm.
There is a white carved wooden door on one side of the blue embroidered curtain, and through the gap in the pattern, Xiao Luo can see the balcony surrounded by a railing at a glance.
A room, a balcony, a few pots of flowers and plants suitable for the scene, carrying a shower to water flowers on the railing in the afternoon of leisure, the beautiful reverie of the girlhood seems to have become a reality at this moment.
The woman looked at Xiao Luo, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, and the corners of her mouth hooked, "You take a look around first, and I'll go down to see how dinner is prepared." ”
Xiao Luo nodded, and couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and pushed open the wooden door, the air was fresh, and the sunset was just right.
On the white marble platform, there are two pots of Milan and one pot of gerbera, both of which are in bloom, and one yellow and one pink are blooming very warmly.
There was a green shower under the balcony, and there was just water in it, and Xiao Luo lifted the shower to water the flowers with great interest.
Downstairs, a black Land Rover crossed the main road in the garden and parked securely in the underground garage.
A man sat down in the driver, closed the car door, and the man walked along the cobblestone path in the garden towards the villa.
