Chapter Twenty-Eight: Changing Houses
"Who, who?"
As the footsteps moved, the sound of pounding on the door became more and more violent, making Lin Wanyu's heart beat violently.
"Who the hell is it! If you don't say anything, I'll call the police! ”
She pretended to have the audacity to grab a knife from the kitchen and shout at the door.
The pounding on the door stopped abruptly.
It seems that there are not many outlaws outside the door, at least there is a certain fear of the police.
"Sister, the faucet at my brother's house is broken, and I want to borrow your toilet to take a bath."
"My house is also broken, you can go back."
After saying this, Lin Wanyu put his ear to the door to listen to the movement outside.
Because it is an old community, the house she rented has two security doors, one inside is a wooden door without a cat's eye, and the other outside is an iron door with metal screen.
If she didn't open the door inside, she wouldn't be able to see the outside, but once she did, the people outside would be able to see what was inside.
It was quiet outside, and there was no sound.
Just when Lin Wanyu thought that the man had left and was about to open the wooden door to check, a series of dirty curses sounded again with the sound of banging on the door, and even shook the wooden door slightly.
"Don't fucking bullshit! Open the door if you open the door! I'm going to go in and take a bath! ”
The occupancy rate of this old community is not high, and even the building where Lin Wanyu is located only has her and another old couple, so there is no property security at all.
Therefore, no matter how frantically the man outside the door knocks, no one will stop him.
Lin Wanyu really didn't know how long his iron door in disrepair could withstand damage, so he could only push the folding table over against the door first, and then picked up the phone and called the police.
Soon, the nearest police station sent three officers.
It may have been heard the sound of a siren not far away, and the knock on the door stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of panicked footsteps descending the stairs.
Fortunately, because the man's movements were too suspicious, he happened to be controlled by the three police officers who were about to enter the community.
"Okay, Miss Lin, people have been caught by us, but they drank too much, and they may have just followed you into the community, so they are eyeing you. But now it's fine. ”
One of the female police officers smiled and patted Lin Wanyu on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
"Thank you, it's so late, I'm sorry for you."
Lin Wanyu sat on the sofa, and the sound of the man banging frantically on the door just now was still in his mind.
"You, a little girl's family, how come you live in such a remote place, I'm afraid there is not even a neighbor upstairs and downstairs."
Faced with the police's concern, Lin Wanyu could only say haha that he would pay attention.
"Okay, let's not bother, if you have time, find a new community, it's too unsafe for women who live alone."
After sending the female police officer downstairs, Lin Wanyu collapsed on the sofa like a deflated ball.
Tonight's events are definitely not accidental.
Because of the explosion of the novel, his current address has been picked up by netizens, and I am afraid that there will be more and more such things in the future.
Is it still the right choice to choose to continue writing fiction on your own?
Do you want to give up this novel, change your pen name again, and completely dissociate yourself from these things......
Lin Wanyu curled up his legs, buried his head deeply, and gradually fell into a deep sleep while thinking.
……
"It's almost ten o'clock!"
Lin Wanyu screamed and stared at the time on his phone.
I don't know when I fell asleep on the sofa last night, and I forgot to set the alarm clock.
"Ding-dong".
A message popped up on the screen, sent by the editor.
[Well, congratulations, because the revenue brought by your clicks to the website this month is very considerable, the editor-in-chief has decided to give you a fee increase! ] I'm going to have to work hard in the future. 】
Soon, there was another message reminder, it was a message from the bank.
[Your account has received 10430.46 ......]
I'll go......
That's more than half of last month!
Lin Wanyu immediately opened it and looked at the deposit in the account, and pinched his arm hard - it hurts!
It's not a dream!
Last night's hesitation was immediately answered!
Anyway, the manuscript fee has increased, and I have the confidence to change places to rent a house, and the novel still has to be written!
Sure enough, money can bring happiness to people, Lin Wanyu hummed a little song in the morning, only feeling that his talents were surging like a spring, and he couldn't finish writing with a lot of inspiration!
After lunch, she went to the library to help.
"Curator! You're there too. ”
Lin Wanyu pushed open the office and happened to see the curator who was packing up the documents, "You can put it away, I'll just come." ”
"Yo, Xiaolin, it seems to be in a good mood today, is there anything to be happy about?"
Lin Wanyu told him about his experience last night and his increase in manuscript fees.
“…… So, I'm thinking about changing houses! It would be nice to be closer to the library, I could spend the morning and afternoon at the library, and I could earn a little more. ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Chi pushed the door and entered, "You really should change the house, you are a girl who lives in such a remote area, something will happen sooner or later, you were lucky last night, that person did not follow you into the house, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"How do you eavesdrop on other people's conversations!"
Lin Wanyu glanced at the curator crampedly, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Gu Chi.
"I just came to pay back the book I borrowed last time, but your voice was too loud, and I had no choice but to hear it."
Gu Chi raised his eyebrows and shook the book in his hand, blocking her speechless.
The curator is a person who understands, and when he saw the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, you two talk, as long as I'm not so busy with work, I can still turn a blind eye."
Lin Wanyu's face was flushed with shame by the curator's teasing tone, and his mouth was hesitant to explain, but the other party left the office with an expression that I understood.
"The curator is gone, now I can talk about you."
Gu Chi pulled a chair and sat opposite Lin Wanyu, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, "I have a house that is being rented out, if you want to change the house, I can rent it to you cheaper......"
"Hey, this ...... That's a little bit unusual, right? ”
Lin Wanyu nervously pinched the corners of his clothes, and his mind quickly thought of the reason for refusal.
Gu Chi glanced at her lightly, "There is no other reason to rent it to you cheaply, just to think that it will be convenient to contact you in the future, and once a case related to your novel occurs again, we can both communicate faster." ”
Seeing that Lin Wanyu was still a little hesitant, Gu Chi threw out another bait, "And that house is also close to here, just two bus stops away, so it will be more convenient for you to come to work part-time in the future." ”
