Chapter 26: Love in this life

Ling Ran drove the car into the community where Shao Chengzhi lived.

Shao Chengzhi hesitated for a moment: "Would you like to go up and have a look?" I rented one of the houses with the master bedroom. The house was originally a three-bedroom apartment, but the landlord divided the living room and everything into small rooms for rent, so the living room was very crowded and the conditions were very bad. ”

"Okay, let's go up and have a look. Ling Ran saw that Shao Chengzhi seemed a little ashamed to live in a boarding house in order to save money, and hurriedly said, "You are alone, there is really no need to spend so much money to live alone." ”

There is a rusty pig iron security door outside the door, but the door is wide open against the side wall, and it is obvious that it is never locked.

Shao Chengzhi took out the key to open the peeling wooden door and went in, and a strange smell came to his nose, so strong that Ling Ran desperately wanted to control it, but he still frowned. Shao Chengzhi smiled bitterly: "It's the smell of garbage mixed in the bathroom and kitchen." I live in the master bedroom is better, have their own bathroom, anyway, close the door and let it flood monstrous, they share the bathroom, I really don't know how they lived. ”

Inside the main door is a one-person passageway, which was supposed to be the hallway and living room, but is now divided into a corridor by the landlord with a thin, lightweight partition wall. Shao Chengzhi led Ling Ran through quickly, walked to the innermost master bedroom door, opened the door with the key, and his colleague turned on the fluorescent lamp in the house. Ling Ran flashed into the house, and Shao Chengzhi hurriedly closed the door.

The air in the master bedroom is much better, and the stench is almost unsmellable. Ling Ran looked around, the room was not big, about 15 square meters, with its own bathroom and balcony. The furniture is a large bed, a writing desk, a computer chair, and a three-door wardrobe, simple and shabby, which are obviously equipped by the landlord. To Ling Ran's surprise, the cleanliness of the room, the beds were made evenly, the quilts and pillows were neatly folded, and there were rows of books on the table against the wall, which were also neatly arranged. In the middle of the table was a black notebook, oversized and thick, with a metal shell that reflected the light coldly. The whole room was filled with a puritan-like cold and murderous atmosphere.

Ling Ran estimated in advance that Shao Chengzhi's room would be quite tidy, but he never expected that there was not even a trace of floating ash on the floor of his desk, which was cleaner than Ye Ling. Ling Ran smiled bitterly, how did she meet the best men, one is more clean than the other.

Shao Chengzhi turned the computer chair around: "You sit, I'll boil some water." ”

Ling Ran laughed: "You better go to the toilet first." ”

Shao Chengzhi also smiled: "This is correct. "I hurried into the bathroom.

When Shao Chengzhi came out of the bathroom, he found that Ling Ran was looking down at the desk carefully.

It's an old-fashioned desk with two rows of drawers, bulky and rough, presumably brought home by the landlord from the flat. There is a large glass on the writing counter, and under the glass is a cartoon of a colorful type, the picture is a cartoon goddess with green eyes, a big wavy black curly hair is like a snake dancing in the night wind, and a tight black gauze is exposed everywhere wrapped in a sexy body. A gold necklace is tied around her hair, and on the necklace is a diamond-shaped emerald pendant, which hangs down from the center of her eyebrows, matching the color of her eyes. The girl leaned sultry against the reef by the sea, the moonlight sprinkled her body, and the dark water waves under the reef swelled, kissing her snow-white bare feet.

"Well, this is a character in the game, a banshee in the sea, a very difficult *oss, with long blood n n long. I finally beat this level, so I printed it out as a souvenir. ”

"Isn't it a color-erotic panorama animation reward after passing the level?" Ling Ran smiled.

"Hmm," Shao Chengzhi was ashamed.

"What kind of picture?" Ling Ran couldn't help but be curious.

Shao Chengzhi was speechless for three seconds, and his cavernous body was swollen and painful: "Kneel first - lick and then kneel and crawl before entering." "Shao Chengzhi can actually call up this animation and play it on a loop without playing levels, so he often masturbates to himself.

"Oh, you love to conquer seductive and domineering women. Ling Ran smiled, "This is a test of strength." ”

Shao Chengzhi was very embarrassed. There were just two people in the room, Shao Chengzhi was condescending at the moment, and he could see Ling Ran's beautiful neck, snow-white and delicate skin disappeared under the V-shaped collar of the silver silk shirt, and then the plump wrapped in the two balls, so he quickly changed the topic and let his mind think of something else: "Well, I like cartoon anime, I'm a super fan of Hayao Miyazaki, I have collected all his works, isn't it naΓ―ve." ”

Ling Ran was surprised: "You like Miyazaki." Ling Ran didn't expect Shao Chengzhi to be so mature and rational, and such a self-controlled man would like Miyazaki's delicate and warm style.

Shao Chengzhi hummed softly, opened the notebook, and typed in the password, it turned out that his desktop was a painting by Hayao Miyazaki, the seeds of dandelions in the wind flew into the distance, gentle warm colors, and there was a line of words underneath. Ling Ran couldn't help but read it out: "I always believe that in this world, there must be another self, doing what I dare not do, living the life I want to live." ”

Ling Ran raised her head: "Are you tired of your current life? ”

"Well, my life is boring, very boring. Shao Chengzhi turned his face, shy, and whispered: "I have always wanted to meet someone whose world is so big and whose life is so long, I want to meet someone so that I can treat it gently." Over the years, I have traveled thousands of miles, tiringly searching, just to be able to meet her. Shao Chengzhi said two famous sayings of Hayao Miyazaki, but with slight changes.

Ling Ran smiled, slowly raised her hand, and held Shao Chengzhi's hand: "I'm sorry, you've been waiting for me, but I'm only here now." ”

Shao Chengzhi's eyes were wet all of a sudden, this is also a famous saying by Hayao Miyazaki, I didn't expect Ling Ran to use it here. Shao Chengzhi held Ling Ran's hand with his backhand (this was the first time he had pulled a girl's hand), and he couldn't speak or look at her for several minutes.

Shao Chengzhi remembered this moment for the rest of his life, Ling Ran gently held his hand and said to him: I'm sorry, you have been waiting for me, but I only came now. From that moment on, Shao Chengzhi was convinced that he had finally found the person he had been waiting for all his life, and it was this belief that had supported him through all the ups and downs.

The rest of the time, Ling Ran sat on the bed (there was only one chair in the room), and Shao Chengzhi sat at the table and used a small coffee pot to make coffee for Ling Ran. It turned out that Shao Chengzhi's coffee addiction was no less than Ling Ran's, and Shao Chengzhi cooked a small bag of kopiluwak (civet coffee) brought back from the United States for Ling Ran, and the room was full of fragrance.

Ling Ran muttered, "It's a luxury. ”

"That's it, enough to cook two or three times. Shao Chengzhi carefully added his partner to Ling Ran's cup.

Ling Ran took a sip of piping hot coffee: "It's so fragrant, there's nowhere to buy it after drinking it, this kind of luxury in China is very expensive." However, we should all drink less, and consuming so much caffeine every day is not good for the body. ”

Shao Chengzhi nodded: "But if you want to quit coffee, you have to change the current unhealthy lifestyle, I work overtime almost every day until after two o'clock in the middle of the night, sleep in the morning, and get up to work at noon." In fact, I didn't have more working hours, but I made a mess of my life. ”

It was almost eleven o'clock in a blink of an eye, and Shao Chengzhi sent Ling Ran downstairs: "I'll drive you home, and then I'll take a taxi back." "Is it necessary to be so troublesome? I live outside the North Fifth Ring Road now, and it's so late that taxis are not easy to call." Ling Ran couldn't help laughing: "However, I will move to Wangjing tomorrow." I have a house there, and my parents have renovated it for me before I came back - it's very simple. My new company is also in Wangjing. You'll be closer to me from now on. ”

Shao Chengzhi was excited: "Okay, I'll go to you every day after work, anyway, the subway is convenient." ”

Ling Ran was stunned: "Every day, the subway has to be transferred." That's it, you can drive my car from tomorrow, anyway, my house and company are in Wangjing. ”

Shao Chengzhi refused: "I'll buy a car myself." ”

"No, it's not necessary. Ling Ran objected. Shao Chengzhi has been sent abroad for three years, and now half a year has passed, what will happen in the future, only God knows, is it necessary to buy a car in order to fall in love.

Ling Ran insisted on not letting Shao Chengzhi send it: "You go up quickly." I haven't been to your room, I don't know. After reading it, I'm a little worried about your notebook - those two doors are not strong. ”

Shao Chengzhi nodded: "I usually carry it with me, and these two days are because of the festival." ”

Ling Ran nodded: "Be careful, the group rental house is the most messy." Ling Ran thought that if the development went well, after a while, Shao Chengzhi would be able to spend the night in Wangjing, but the rental house would have to continue to stay until the two decided to move in together and officially live together. However, if the relationship has the potential to develop, but it does not develop so fast, what should I do if the green card is approved first? Is it really for the sake of a green card to get a marriage certificate? Forget it, don't think so much, after all, the two have only known each other for two days.

In the end, Ling Ran drove away by herself, because there were a lot fewer cars on the road at the moment, including the ring road, which was not congested, and Shao Chengzhi really had no need to send her back.

Ling Ran made an appointment with Shao Chengzhi, and Shao Chengzhi would wait for her at a coffee shop in Wangjing at noon tomorrow.

"You may have to wait a little longer, because I have a little thing to do first. Ling Ran said.

"Well, I want to do something tomorrow morning, too. In that case, let's meet at 2 p.m., so we all have more time. Shao Chengzhi said.

The two said goodbye. Shao Chengzhi had the heart to kiss Ling Ran, but he didn't dare because he wouldn't. Shao Chengzhi was depressed - after watching so many A-V movies in vain, he couldn't even make a kiss.

Ling Ran actually waited a little for Shao Chengzhi to kiss him goodbye, even if it was a kiss on his face, but after waiting for five minutes, there was no play.

Ling Ran pouted while driving home: "I still want to go to Maria Ozawa." Phew, a paper tiger. ”

Although it was nearly the middle of the night, there was still a lot of traffic on the fourth ring road, and the mobile phone issued navigation instructions to Ling Ran from time to time, Ling Ran held the steering wheel, but his mind was still thinking about Shao Chengzhi - the first impression of this man's appearance and the feeling he gave after contact were really far away, diametrically opposite.

When Shao Chengzhi followed Wang Xia to appear in front of Ling Ran, Shao Chengzhi's low stature, slightly dark skin, and facial features that could not impress people, coupled with the low-key demeanor of standing behind in everything, and the language habit of cherishing words like gold in social occasions, all gave people a sense of mediocrity and simplicity, plus he was covered by black-framed glasses, and if he didn't look closely, he even felt that this man was a little dull.

But after knowing each other for two days, especially after today's long-term exchange, Shao Chengzhi's image in Ling Ran's heart has completely changed, as if a peanut has been washed away from the mud, peeled off the shell, and removed the red clothes, and suddenly the snow-white and oily benevolence inside is exposed.

Ling Ran felt in her heart that this man was very handsome, not the kind of handsome in appearance and size, but an inner hidden but explosive handsome, like still water and deep currents, like the silent magma surge of an undersea volcano, like the blooming and falling of peach blossoms in a deep valley without people, silent and thrilling.

And Ling Ran also felt a faint sense of sexiness, not from this man's height and appearance muscles, but because she felt this man's spiritual self-control and tenacity, the kind of tension that is unique because of long-term self-suppression, such as a solid * hidden by heavy clothes. That kind of very forbearing, even a little puritanical self-cruelty, spiritual and *double abstinence, but on the contrary, it made people feel the extremely suppressed surging desire-desire and the aggression that could explode at any time, so that Ling Ran couldn't help but want to tease him, tease him, seduce him, and want to challenge the limit of this man's self-control
