The night before I returned home, I was packing in my room.

Suddenly, there was the sound of the doorknob turning continuously, which was particularly abrupt in this quiet night.

I heard from the doorman's eldest brother that thieves were rampant in the New Year, and there were thieves in several families in the community.

Isn't it so unlucky, the night before I was leaving, the thief happened to arrive.

I rummaged through the messy bed for a while, not knowing where I had left my phone. The noise at the door was getting louder and louder, and I didn't have time to call for help, so I could only pick up a badminton racket next to my desk, tiptoe to the living room to turn off the light, and crouched behind the door, ready to attack at any time.

The moment the door was opened, I screamed and slapped at the "thief", but the "thief" snatched the racket.

I shuddered with fright, instinctively closed my eyes and shrank my head and waited for the "thief" to attack.

"Ye Zhenzhen?"

The "thief" opened his mouth to call my name, and I couldn't help but wonder, is the "thief" so powerful now? I also found out the name of the owner of the house before stealing things. However, why do I find the voice of this "thief" so familiar?

I slowly raised my head and opened my eyes, and the light outside the hallway shone in, allowing me to see the true face of the "thief".

"Lu Li?" I was so shocked that my jaw was about to drop, how could Lu Li be reduced to being a thief? "What are you here to steal?"

Lu Li rolled his eyes at me, stretched out his hand to turn on the light in the living room, then took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet next to him and changed them, pushed the suitcase to the sofa, and went straight to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water.

I watched Lu Li shuttling through the house as if he were walking around his own home.

The brain that was temporarily short-circuited just now due to excessive fright finally restarted, and I pointed to Lu Li, who was gurgling and drinking water, and said, "Aren't you the landlord's son who bought a house out and didn't come home?!" ”

Lu Li put down the water glass and looked at me calmly, "Aren't you the female tenant my aunt said came to take care of the flowers and plants by the way?!" ”

"I'm here to rent a house and help take care of the flowers and plants!" I retorted with my hands on my hips.

But that's not the point, I pointed to the big suitcase that Lu Li had just pushed in and asked, "Don't tell me, you're going to move back in?" ”

Lu Li nodded naturally.

"But haven't you always lived in your fancy bachelorette apartment? Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”

"That apartment was sold, so I had to come back and live there." With that, Lu Li walked to the second floor with his suitcase.

I stood there stunned and thought for a few seconds, Lu Li sold the apartment, then he had to live here for a long time.

And I signed a one-year contract with my aunt.

Isn't it, I stared at the familiar figure that gradually disappeared at the corner of the stairs in amazement, and sighed in disbelief: Are Lu Li and I going to live together?!

I lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, although I also once fantasized about living under the same roof with Lu Li, but at this time, "happiness" came unexpectedly, and completely changed from surprise to fright.

What's more, I have revealed my heart to Lu Li before, will Lu Li think that I am deliberately renting this house in order to pursue him.

How could it be so coincidental that Lu Li was the landlord's son?

The more I think about it, the more irritable I become, it's already one o'clock in the morning, and tomorrow I have to get up early and take the car back to my hometown.

I buried my head in the pillow in frustration and forced myself to stop thinking about it. Anyway, I'll leave for a while tomorrow, and I'll talk about it when the holiday is over.

The next morning, I pushed my suitcase and prepared to go out, but after thinking about it, I should politely say goodbye to Lu Li.

I quietly walked to the door of Lu Li's room and leaned my ear on the door to hear what was going on inside.

After listening to it for a while, it was quiet inside, and Lu Li hadn't woken up yet.

I pondered that I would simply stay in the car and send a WeChat message to Lu Li, saying that the door opened with a "hula", and I suddenly lost my attachment, and the whole person leaned forward.

When I was about to fall headlong into Lu Li's arms, he raised one hand and put it on the door of my head, easily isolating me from him.

"What are you doing sneaking at the door of my room early in the morning?" Lu Li leaned against the door and looked at me with interest.

I touched my forehead that was patted painfully, and I was really puzzled by Lu Li, "Oh, I came to tell you that I am going back to my hometown today, and I will come back in the next year." Uncle Lu should be back soon, you should stay in Dragon City for the New Year this year. ”

Lu Li's eyes dimmed, "He is going to be on duty in the hospital this year and will not come back." ”

When Lu Li's grandmother was still alive, he took his grandmother to Haicheng every year to celebrate the New Year with his father. Now that his grandmother is gone, Lu Li naturally won't take the initiative to find his father.

It was originally a New Year for family reunion, but Lu Li had to guard this huge house alone.

I couldn't bear it, but I didn't know what to say, "Then you take care of yourself." ”

Lu Li didn't say anything, still leaning motionless against the door, but his face faintly showed an abandoned look of the injured little beast.

The moment I turned around, I noticed that Lu Li's left forehead was slightly red and swollen, thinking that I had accidentally knocked him when I hit the "thief" with a racket last night.

After taking a few steps, Lu Li's pitiful expression kept in his mind.

I stopped, and finally I couldn't bear to turn my head and ask, "Why don't you go back to your hometown with me?" ”

Sitting on the bus to Quanzhen, I looked at Lu Li, who was listening to the song next to me and closed my eyes to recuperate, and suddenly had a headache.

I thought that Yi Luli's temperament would not agree to my casual invitation, but I didn't expect him to readily agree. Bringing a man home for the Chinese New Year, and staying for more than ten days, even if my parents can understand, but what should the neighbors think.

Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Zhenzhen, as long as you encounter something related to Lu Li, your brain will not be able to function normally.

Two hours later, Lu Li and I arrived in Quanzhen.

After getting out of the car, I kept telling Lu Li: "Do you remember what I told you in the car just now?" If someone asks you, you will say that you are my high school classmate, and you came to Quanzhen to travel during the Spring Festival holiday, and it happened that the hotels in the town were full, so you had to come to my house to borrow it. Also, if an uncle or aunt asks you whether you are married, your family situation, your job, etc., don't answer, and if you want to have a birthday, you must not give it. ”

Lu Li looked at me and talked endlessly, the corners of his mouth hooked, as if he was smiling, "Ye Zhenzhen, what are you afraid of?" Didn't you still want to sell me at a low price that day? ”

Although he has known Lu Li for ten years, his personality is still unpredictable, sometimes cold and silent, sometimes well-behaved and kind, sometimes dark and domineering, like a man with a thousand faces.

At this time, he turned up the mess of a while ago, remembering the "shameless" words he said to him last time, and he couldn't wait to go underground, "I was joking with you last time, and don't get me wrong this time, I just see that you are quite lonely here." Our hometown is very lively every year for the Chinese New Year, there are wandering gods, dragon dances and fireworks displays, you can use it as a trip to relax and relax. ”

"Long story!" Lu Li glanced at me, pushed his suitcase and walked to the alley on the left.

I looked at his back, and it was so angry and funny, "You're on the wrong side!" It's not on the left, it's on the right. ”

When Lu Li and I stood in the compound of our hometown, we unexpectedly attracted onlookers from neighbors.

Aunt Wang: "Whose young man is this, he is so handsome." ”

Aunt Li: "Lao Ye's daughter is really amazing, not long after Lao Ye came back, Zhen Zhen came back with her son-in-law for the New Year." ”

Uncle Zhang: "Old Ye, when will your family set up a banquet?" ”

I ignored the gossip of these people and half-pushed my parents into the house with a dazed face.

My dad pointed to Lu Li's suitcase, looked at me again, and said in a hesitant voice: "This, you, hey, wife, you come to ask." ”

"You're so stupid, I'll come." My mother pushed my dad away and stood in front of me and Lu Li, the joy that couldn't be hidden at the corner of her mouth, "Xiao Lu, are you here to propose marriage today?" Did the family agree? Daddy and I will go to town tomorrow to find someone to count the days, you ......"

"Mom!" I couldn't take it anymore and yelled at my mother's gibberish.

"You kid, why are you always startling me out of the blue." My mom gave me a blank look.

"Uncle and aunt, that's right, I heard Zhen Zhen say that Quanzhen Town has a beautiful ecology, so I wanted to take advantage of the New Year holiday to come here to play for a few days. When I got out of the car, I met Zhen Zhen, and she said that she would take me to visit my uncle and aunt. Lu Li said methodically as I had been instructed before.

"I see." My mother looked disappointed, "Then Xiao Lu, where are you staying these days?" Or stay in our house. ”

"Auntie, don't need it, I've already booked a hotel in the town."

obviously said that it was good to live in my house, why didn't Lu Li play cards according to the routine.

After my parents were kind enough to stay, Lu Li stayed at our house for lunch.

After lunch, I accompanied him to the town to find a place to stay, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "When did you book a hotel?" Didn't you say that my family lives? ”

Lu Li turned his head and sighed lightly at me, "Are you really stupid, I live in your house, what should your neighbors think?" ”

I also thought about this on the way home, but since I invited Lu Li here, naturally I can't let him stay alone in the hotel anymore, and let him go with all the gossip.

But I didn't expect Lu Li to still think about me, it seems that this guy still has a good conscience.

Because Quanzhen is a tourist attraction, the town's hotels are indeed almost full, but fortunately a vacant room was finally found.

Although the room is not big, it looks clean and tidy, and Lu Li seems to be quite satisfied.

Only then did I say goodbye to Lu Li with confidence: "Lu Li, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and we will have many activities here." When the time comes, you can come to my house for dinner first, and then I will take you for a good walk. You should have a good rest today. ”

Lu Li nodded, squatted down and put the contents of the suitcase on the table.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, I turned and left.

When I walked to the door, Lu Li suddenly stopped me, "Ye Zhenzhen." ”

"Huh?" I turned my head, Lu Li's eyes flashed, and it was the same complex expression that intertwined countless emotions before.

"It's nothing, say thank you to my uncle and aunt for me."

I smiled at Lu Li and walked out of the hotel.

From meeting Lu Li unexpectedly at home last night, to Lu Li coming to Quanzhen with me, I have been in the clouds and fog for just one day, everything seems so unreal, until this moment, looking at the place I have stepped on since I was a child, I have a down-to-earth feeling.

I took a deep breath and exhaled the cold air into my body, dispelling a trace of chaos.
