Chapter 261: The Magic Flute from Far Away
Nanjing, 8 a.m., Parkway Book City.
Bai Sumei, as always, sat at the front desk and watched Gu Ke walking around, boringly observing the expressions of these people. In the past three years, she has learned that Gu Ke of different ages has different needs for books. For example, children mostly need comic books or storybooks, such as some world famous books. If parents bring their children here, then most of them will need some tutoring materials, which is essential for the student party.
If they are a little older, young men who have just entered their youth, then they will choose some books that are beneficial to them. For example, civil servants, level 4 and level 6, and even books on graduate school entrance examinations and job needs, these people have just entered the society, and they are still vague about the future.
Finally, there are middle-aged people and the elderly, their interests are very wide and unpredictable, but they are generally some books that are more biased towards life and society, Bai Sumei can see different expressions on Gu Ke's faces of all ages in the past three years, which is also the state that she observes when she is bored to pass the time.
However, in the last three days, she has found that her experience has been shattered by a charming man who walks to the children's section every time he comes to the library and picks up some shaonv comics, and today he picked up "Natsume's Friend's Account" with a gentle smile on his face.
This man has a wide forehead, a pair of big eyes, long oblique bangs covering one eye, and a height of 1.8 meters is really not easy in the south, I have to say that this is the dish in Bai Sumei's heart.
Bai Sumei is 27 this year, and in the past three years, she has been constantly nagging by her parents and busy living all kinds of blind dates, which is not to blame her parents, after all, most of her roommates and classmates who are as old as her have entered the marriage hall early, although most of them are not very happy, but with the birth of a child, any unpleasant quarrels will be covered.
But Bai Sumei doesn't like this, the prince charming in her heart should at least be like the man in front of her, and what she pursues is this kind of romantic love.
"This comic has been animated, if you want to experience the warm drama in it, you can search for it on the Internet." Bai Sumei took the initiative to talk, and the man was stunned by her sudden voice, looked at her blankly, and then nodded gratefully.
"Thank you." Bai Sumei heard a very magnetic voice, so she chatted with each other, and learned his name in the process.
His name is Luo Xing, he is an orphan, he lives at his uncle's house, and his work is also introduced by them to work in a large company, although he has no car but has a big house of 80 square meters. Bai Sumei is very satisfied with this man, the house is secondary, and having a stable job is the premise of happiness, but to her surprise, Luo Xing does not have a mobile phone, and his explanation is that the company is rarely used, and most of the work is signed.
Although Bai Sumei still didn't understand a little, she was still very happy. After telling Luo about her house, she whispered, "If you have time, I'll invite you to tea." ”
"I've given you this comic book, welcome back when you have time."
Luo Xing bowed excitedly to Bai Sumei and walked out of the library very happily, but when he looked at the comic book in his hand again, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. Recalling the woman's words in his mind, he casually asked a LU person.
"Do you know where the Shaxi LU Xili community is?"
After sitting bored all afternoon, Bai Sumei bought some bento boxes at a stall after work and rode an old-fashioned bicycle back to her small home.
Xili community is one of the lowest housing prices in the city, and it is also the community with the largest number of people, and there are many elderly people living in the old houses that have not been demolished for 30 years, and most of these old people have a stubborn son, and every time they go home, they ask for money or food.
Bai Sumei didn't like this place, but the only thing that attracted her was the housing prices, which would be a third cheaper than other neighborhoods.
Bai Sumei was just about to step on the stairs with her lunch, when a rough voice came from behind her, and she turned around in disgust and shouted: "I've said it countless times, don't sao me anymore, you will make me very embarrassed like this, we can't be together at all." ”
The man standing behind him with a stubble on his face is called Cui Yongcheng, who has been pestering Bai Sumei for three years, although she has made it clear countless times, but this man just doesn't give up, and always puts a rose at her door, or sends a fast food to the book city.
In fact, Bai Sumei was not disgusted with him at first, but she simply felt that it was inappropriate, and over time, she saw the shortcomings of this man, gnawing at the old people without a stable job, smoking, drinking and gambling, how can it be entrusted to use all of these at a beautiful and important age?
Bai Sumei walked up the stairs directly and ignored him, no matter how he shouted downstairs, it was already a matter of course for the residents of this building, and they made trouble every day.
Of course, she didn't notice Cui Yongcheng downstairs with a man in the distance with gloomy eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man.
After Bai Sumei ate the lunch, she took a bath and lay down on the chuang early, turned off the light at nine o'clock and fell asleep in the dark. However, just as she was hazy and asleep, a gloomy flute suddenly sounded in her ears, sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low, sometimes cheerful and sometimes melancholy, which directly caused her to sit up from the chuang.
This flute sounds...... Bai Sumei looked out the window, the sound of the flute slowly became clearer and clearer, she felt that the piper was downstairs, but why didn't anyone scold? Playing the flute so late will definitely disturb people's sleep, and according to Bai Sumei's understanding, it will definitely cause some people to open the windows and scold.
But things are just the opposite, the whole community is surrounded by the sound of flutes, and the silence is terrifying, Bai Sumei listens to it and feels that there are two villains fighting in her mind, and a sense of dizziness occupies her brain, before her consciousness disappears completely, she seems to see a man in a black coat below, playing a flute on his lips.
The next day, Bai Sumei struggled to open her eyes, looked at the alarm clock by the chuang, jumped up from the chuang in an instant, changed her clothes quickly, and ran down the stairs after washing up in five minutes.
She doesn't remember much about last night, she only remembers that she heard the sound of the flute in the haze, maybe she was dreaming, Bai Sumei thought to herself.
At the gate of Parkway Book City, after Bai Sumei changed her work clothes, she just walked to the front desk and saw a man in a windbreaker.
