Chapter 2: Neighbors

On the computer screen, there were a lot of search materials, all about Xiangshan on the outskirts of Nancheng, I sat lazily in front of the computer desk, picked up the hot coffee that had just been brewed, and looked down carefully.

According to the data, the Xiangshan Scenic Area is famous for the blooming azalea sea, which attracts a large number of tourists from all over the country every year, and the area of the flower sea has reached more than 100,000 acres, extending from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Although the mountain is not high, the altitude is only more than 1,300 meters, but these primitive ancient rhododendron forests are large, aged, dense, beautiful, and well preserved, but also reflect the harmonious coexistence of environment, vegetation and rhododendrons, which is rare in the country.

I wasn't interested in these introductions, and I continued to scroll down boredly while sipping my coffee.

Looking for the information of Xiangshan, it is only because of the nightmare last night, although it is only a nightmare, the scene in the dream is very realistic, it is inevitable that I have palpitations, and I am still a little afraid when I think about it.

While rummaging through the information won't help me with this palpitation, it's better than doing nothing.

Suddenly, after rummaging through seven pages, a legend about Xiangshan caught my attention, and in order to read more closely, I had to put down my coffee cup, lean forward, and stare carefully.

This information mentions that more than 1,000 years ago, Xiangshan was the holy land of the Wu people in the Song Dynasty, the Wu people are a mysterious race, with the unpredictable mysterious witchcraft, and it is also because of the ability of the Wu people that there is a vast sea of rhododendrons in Xiangshan, but then for some reason, the Wu people disappeared into the world, and no one has ever heard of the existence of the Wu people, let alone the mysterious witchcraft of the Wu people.

After reading these inexplicable information, I blinked, thinking that I had been to Xiangshan, but it was also three years ago, when the company organized field trips, and many colleagues had been there, but I didn't encounter anything strange at that time, not to mention the cyan stone door that connected heaven and earth, was it really a strange nightmare?

While I was thinking about it, I heard a very noisy sound outside the door, including footsteps and talking, and the sound of heavy objects hitting the wall, which caught my attention.

Room 1208 on the opposite side has been vacant for a long time, could it be that its owner has finally moved in?

Thinking that from now on door-to-door would become neighbors, I had no choice but to put on my coat and walk out.

Pull open the door, and the opposite side is really moving in and out, so it's not lively.

Watching the household appliances and furniture being carried into the house, I couldn't help but walk over and look into the house through the open door, the decoration is very strange, the ceiling, wooden floor and walls, all black and white, even the appliances and furniture that have just been dismantled are all black, which inevitably makes people feel cold.

I frowned, the first time I saw someone decorate their home like this, although with a hint of artistic style, but there is really no sense of home, and I don't know what kind of character the owner of this house is? But it's not hard to imagine that it's not a good character to get along with, right?

While I was thinking wildly, I heard a soft cough behind me, which startled me.

Hurriedly turned around, in the blocked light, a man in a black suit was looking at me condescendingly, his face was a little sickly pale, the bridge of his nose was high, his thin lips were also abnormally black, but the dark pupils were shining with a cold cold, falling on me like an autumn wind, and I couldn't feel the slightest heat.

However, I have to admit in my heart that his figure is slender and straight, and the black suit suit is very decently cut, which makes him tall and handsome, except for a little thin, it is really comparable to the male model on the catwalk.

Holding back the discomfort in my heart, I said with a dry smile, "Hello, I'm ...... I'm your neighbor, the owner of room 1206, and I heard that there was a move outside, so I came out to take a look. ”

He didn't speak, just looked at me.

But from his dark pupils, I seemed to see a flash of light, but I couldn't tell what emotion it was, joy? Angry? Impatient? Or is it...... Abhor?

But it was uncomfortable to be stared at like this, and I waited a full two minutes, but he still had no intention of making a friendly gesture, so I could only pout and turn away.

Behind me, there seemed to be a strange gaze locked on me, like a thorn. But when I looked back in confusion, he didn't turn around, just stood there, with his back to me, and his black suit didn't look so good. He may have just been watching the workers move around the house, but what was the staring I just felt? Is it a delusion?

Thinking of the cold feeling on this person's body, and the strangeness of the decoration of his home, I felt uneasy, but then I thought about it, even if this new neighbor was a strange and difficult person, what did it have to do with me? It's just a big deal to stay away from him!

When I got home and closed the door, the feeling of being locked down finally wore off, and I exhaled and slowly walked back to the table.

I still ordered takeout at noon, and at two o'clock, Jiang Hongming came, and he came to pick up something.

At the doorway, a lonely silver suitcase stood full of his clothes and supplies, which I had packed before I went to bed last night.

His face was a little bad, and he stood outside the door with two big dark circles and asked helplessly, "Yun Ya, can you ...... Can you give me another chance? ”

"No need," I clasped my arms to my chest, looked at him casually, shook my head and said, "Once unfaithful, a hundred times not needed, I will fulfill you and Guo Lin, is there anything wrong?" ”

His face turned blue, and his eyes were thick with bloodshots.

Looking at the cyan mustache that floated on his face overnight, I felt a little hindsight's heartache twice, but I am a very principled person, and it is expressly forbidden when I fall in love, and once both parties are no longer in love, the other party cannot be obsessed with it for any reason. The most important thing is that he chooses who is not good, and he prefers to choose my newly recruited assistant, which is a slap in the face, and a bang, the two of them make me the laughing stock of the whole company, and let me destroy the results of my hard work for eight years, how can I leave a deteriorating relationship because of the reluctance left in my heart?

It seemed to see my resoluteness, Jiang Hongming didn't say more, and the moment he put on his suitcase and left, the sadness he showed was obvious, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

That night, I stood on the balcony, looking down at the neon lights of the southern city, the endless flow of car lights all over the street, and the high-rise buildings standing quietly nearby, and I felt a little sad inexplicably.

In the past eight years, although Jiang Hongming and I have not been separated, the pace of our peers has become more and more estranged, he is a character who is content with the status quo, and after entering the company together, he has been doing the work of a small accountant and does not want to forge ahead. And I, from the cashier to the courage to challenge myself to apply to the sales department, from the lowest salesman to the current deputy director of sales, I have to say that I have paid all my efforts and youth, so that I have less and less conversations with him, and the distance is getting farther and farther.

But I asked myself, if Jiang Hongming didn't treat me now, I wouldn't have thought about separating from him, and if he was willing to be a family man, I wouldn't be unbearable.

Now that my close lovers are flying and the temperature at home is gradually cold, the loss in my heart can be imagined.

But I told myself that this was only a temporary loss, and that time would heal all wounds, and I believed.

Bang bang bang.

The sound outside the door pulled back my thoughts, and I looked up at my watch, it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, who would visit late at night?

Frowning slightly, I walked out quickly, and saw the man standing quietly in the corridor through the cat's eye, looking slightly stunned.

Although the neighbor on the opposite side has changed into a casual black loungewear at the moment, he is still handsome and straight, slender as a bamboo. It was only from the orange light in the corridor that his face became more and more pale, so white that he could almost see the blue veins under his skin. The excessively pale skin made his pupils as black as ink, but there was no temperature in sight.

I opened the door in surprise and asked curiously, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"The fuse is burned, can you borrow a candle?"
