Chapter 35: Fragments

"Who's knocking on my window

Who's stirring the strings......"

Cai Qin's beautiful and deep singing voice finally woke Zhou Cheng up when he sang it for the second time.

Zhou Cheng looked at the yellowed roller blind, touched the hard solid wood bed under him, and knew that he was still staying in this world and had not crossed back.

I picked up my phone again and looked at the time, six in the morning.

Zhou Cheng was very glad that he set an alarm clock yesterday, otherwise he was really afraid that he would sleep until noon today, and it would really be a delay.

It seems that I really drank too much last night, and I should have drunk broken pieces, otherwise I don't remember how I came back. Zhou Cheng tried to call Chu Ran's name, and heard a few mutters in the guest room in the courtyard, probably because he fell asleep in the guest room last night and didn't get up yet.

Get up, wash up, change your clothes, and continue to start today's five kilometers. The trotting all the way not only forced out the sweat on his head, but also forced the residual wine strength of Qinghuafen last night out of his head.

"Is it that your internal strength has increased so much that you can force the drink out of your body?" Zhou Cheng walked back while conjecturing, but at the gate of the community, he was stopped by the legendary martial arts master Grandma Liu.

"Xiaocheng, your house has been rented out for you yesterday, this tenant is good, he is a recent college graduate. I rented it for a year, and the rent was paid every six months. It's a one-month deposit and six months' rent. Seven thousand pieces in all, you count. ”

"Rented out? He's not too expensive? Zhou Cheng remembered that he asked for 1,000 yuan a month, which should be quite high.

"Expensive? Didn't you quote this price in order to rent it out as soon as possible? It was Grandma Liu's turn to be surprised: "There are already 1,000 bungalows like yours in our neighborhood." I see that you are short of money, so I will rent it out directly to you according to the rule of paying once every six months, and other people's families will pay one and pay three. The other party probably thought it was cheap, so he paid it happily. By the way, the tenant will move in on the first of next month, and there are two more days to clean up. ”

Zhou Cheng couldn't help but show a wry smile, but he didn't expect that because he didn't understand the market, he rented out the house he didn't want to rent out at a low price. Seeing that Grandma Liu had been staring at the banknote in her hand, Zhou Cheng knew that the other party was waiting for him to pay the intermediary fee.

Zhou Cheng counted 600 yuan to Grandma Liu, he had already inquired in advance, and they were all for half a month's rent, but Grandma Liu took the trouble to help herself, and Zhou Cheng gave an extra hundred.

"Grandma will take the money." Grandma Liu counted them unceremoniously, and then said something to Zhou Cheng that surprised him a little: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, grandma originally thought it was a young man, but in the end she found out that it was a little girl with short hair." Here is a copy of her ID card. ”

"Little girl?" Zhou Cheng took the copy of his ID card and saw a name written on it: "Gu Xintong? Is it her? ”

"Xiaocheng, do you know? That's good. You said how the little girl cut her hair so short now? ”

"Grandma Liu, you said that I am a young man, it is not suitable to live with a little girl, but if it is not good, I will not rent this house." Zhou Cheng handed her back the more than 6,000 yuan in his hand.

"People have just graduated now, and the school doesn't give them a place to live, so they are in a hurry to find a house. You should take care of other people's little girls and take care of them. Grandma Liu was reluctant to refund the intermediary fee she received, and continued to persuade Zhou Cheng: "Besides, one of you is in the yard and the other is in the room, just don't go through one door." ”

"Okay, just rent it to her for a while." It was not so much that he listened to Grandma Liu's persuasion, but that Zhou Cheng remembered the other party's long straight legs, which made him excited: "Grandma Liu, I will go out soon, and I may not be at home for more than a week." The key to the gate will be left there, and if she wants to live, she can just move in. Usually you can go in and out of the gate of the yard, but the main house is where I live by myself, and she is not allowed to enter without permission. ”

"It's okay, don't worry, grandma will help you keep an eye on it." Seeing Zhou Cheng loosen his mouth, the old lady immediately agreed.

I bought a bean juice, four burnt rings and a sugar cake, considered Chu Ran's needs, and brought another bean curd, salty.

Whether tofu brain should be drunk sweet or salty, this is something that Zhou Cheng often argues with Chu Ran in his memory, and the two of them didn't convince each other anyway.

"Oh, Master Chu, it's up." Back in the courtyard, Zhou Cheng saw Chu Ran sitting in the courtyard talking on the phone, looking at his bloodshot eyes and haggard appearance, it is estimated that he didn't sleep well last night.

"Damn, where did you kid run early in the morning?" Seeing Zhou Cheng come back, Chu Ran finally showed a relieved expression, and the mobile phone he had originally dialed was still on the table.

"I went for a morning exercise, five kilometers." Zhou Cheng pointed to the outfit on his body, stretched out a hand, and gestured proudly.

Chu Ran said angrily: "I thought you guy ran out again in the middle of the night, and was about to call Brother Li to help find someone." ”

"I went crazy with alcohol last night?" Zhou Cheng put it on the table early and asked tentatively.

"You don't remember anything?" Chu Ran looked up at Zhou Cheng and asked suspiciously.

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "I don't remember, I should have drunk the broken pieces." ”

"Yesterday you got out of the taxi and started running around, and you couldn't stop catching it." Chu Ran opened the breakfast box and saw that it was bean juice with a sour smell, and almost spit out yesterday's wine, so he hurriedly covered his nose and pushed it to Zhou Cheng, and opened the other one before he saw that it was salted bean curd.

"I'm just running around? Didn't say anything, did you? ”

"Got it." Chu Ran took a sip of bean curd, suppressed last night's nausea, and then continued: "You asked Jia Xiaolu to love Liangliang, and asked me why Brother Qi is not called Dandan...... By the way, who is Dandan? ”

"Who do you care who she is?" Zhou Cheng couldn't help but hold his head: "What else did I say?" ”

"I also said a lot of strange things, why do you want to wander in other galaxies, what sells medicine and hasn't been imprisoned, how can there be a god of medicine, by the way, what wolves, how can they be so powerful, what can they ...... fifty-one"

"I don't know how to say this, it seems that I usually surf the Internet a lot and watch more news." Zhou Cheng rubbed his head and prevaricated.

Alas, drinking is wrong.

Listening to Chu Ran's words, it seems that he really said a lot last night, Liangliang and Dandan in front, no matter what questions Chu Ran has, Zhou Cheng won't be clear if he doesn't say it. As for the content of the latter words, it should be the script of "The Wandering Earth", "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "Wolf Warrior". These are all regrets that Zhou Cheng can't touch for the time being, and it is estimated that he said it with the strength of wine.

"By the way, you were still singing last night, I always thought you were incomplete, but I didn't expect that singing was not bad, and the roar scared the dogs in the alley to bark."

"you, what did I sing last night?" Zhou Cheng wanted to know how much information about the future he had revealed.

Chu Ran rubbed his head and thought for a long time before he said: "Singing seems to be working hard to live everything, and has experienced ups and downs and what twists and turns......"

"It should be that we are all living hard, waking up and getting drunk in the ups and downs......"

"Yes, it's this song, although I don't know whose song it is, but it's sad to hear you sing."

Zhou Cheng took a sip of bean juice before he said proudly to Chu Ran: "Isn't the song I wrote good?" ”

"Brother, are you kidding me?" Zhou Cheng's words made half of Chu Ran's leftover circles fall into the bean curd, but looking at Zhou Cheng's smug face, he couldn't help but believe it: "Chu Ye is getting less and less confident now." You kid now not only writes movie scripts, but also songs? Ah, no, listen to the tune you sing, can you even compose a tune? ”

"Anyway, I also passed the eighth grade in piano, and it's not easy to compose a song."

"You're awesome!" Chu Ran reluctantly gave a thumbs up to Zhou Cheng, swallowed the soaked coke ring in two bites in frustration, and then drank the remaining bean curd.

"Okay, I won't tease you, this song is the lyrics I wrote, and the song was composed by someone I found someone to compose a new song for Lin Shan." Zhou Cheng knew that he couldn't hit Chu Ran anymore, so he only admitted that he had written lyrics, which was within the scope of what the Department of Literature could do.

With a friend, you can let him slowly discover your strengths, slowly accept your excellence, even if you reach a high height in the end, he will not feel too lost. Some true friends will even feel proud of witnessing your excellence step by step.

But if you, who were originally mediocre, suddenly appear to be above their perceptions, it will make them wonder if you have been hiding yourself from them, whether you have been treating them like fools. In the long run, even your best friend will be estranged and distrustful of you, which will make you lose this friend.

Zhou Cheng didn't want to lose these friends, whether it was Chu Ran, Li Yan or Chen Li. Because anyone who lives in this world needs a social circle. Becoming truly alone will make you even more lonely.
