Chapter 41 Definition of Relationships
Gu Xintong, who had changed into a T-shirt again, helped Zhou Cheng, who was still lying on the ground, up, and entered the room for the first time after Zhou Cheng took the key to open the door.
Walking through the study and living room, Zhou Cheng went to the bedroom with Gu Xintong's support, and lay on his bed to relieve the contusion caused by the muscle hitting the ground.
"Brother landlord, the display of your house is really old enough, this wooden bed, I'm afraid it's older than me."
Gu Xintong looked at the simple layout of the room and a few pieces of furniture that were old, and no longer had any doubts about Grandma Liu's statement that the landlord was in a hurry to rent out because of lack of money. At the same time, I am glad that I can rent such a single room near the Third Ring Road at such a favorable price after just graduating.
At that time, when Gu Xintong moved, her classmates, who were also looking for a house everywhere, heard this price, either saying that she was lucky with shit, or suspecting that her landlord, whom she had never met, was a pervert.
Now in Gu Xintong's opinion, Zhou Cheng is still a righteous gentleman.
"You can call me Zhou Cheng." Hearing what Gu Xintong had been calling him, Zhou Chengcheng knew that the other party had forgotten his name, and after correcting her, he pointed to the wooden bed he was lying on and said to her, "What do you know about children." See, this is an authentic Qing Dynasty rosewood plank bed, which my grandfather passed on to me. Look at this bag of pulp, this shape, if you pull it to Panjiayuan, I won't change it if I don't take the price of a house. ”
"Hehe, it seems that you are fine, just lie here." Gu Xintong could also hear that Zhou Cheng was fooling in his words, which was the characteristic of the Yanjing people she came into contact with during her four years of studying in Yanjing. Since Zhou Cheng can still joke, it seems that it is not a big deal, Gu Xintong opened his mouth and said: "If there is anything, you can call me." ”
"Well, it's nothing...... Zhou Cheng also understood that in the middle of the night, it was not convenient for lonely men and widows to be in the same room, and more importantly, he couldn't lift his spirits, so he waved her away.
------ the dividing line of back pain--------
In the early morning of summer, the sun had already begun to rise in the east at five o'clock, and by the time the first rays of sunlight shone on Zhou Cheng's face through the roller blinds, it was already six o'clock.
Under the interference of the sun, Zhou Cheng woke up from his sleep. Standing up, with his hands raised high, he first made a stretching torso movement, and then moved his waist left and right, the fatigue of last night had disappeared, and he couldn't help but sigh, it's good to be young.
Changing clothes and washing, Zhou Cheng is ready to start today's five-kilometer workout.
When I came to the yard, the door of the Westinghouse bungalow was closed, and I shouldn't have gotten up yet, it seems that the girl is worried about the lack of sleep and affecting her skin, this sentence is true. And it's normal for her to sleep a little more on Saturday.
Zhou Cheng didn't disturb his tenant's rest, went out of the community, trotted along Hutong Road to the West Third Ring Road, and ran along the West Third Ring Road to Lotus Pond Park.
As the largest park near the West Third Ring Road, the pond is full of lotus flowers that reflect the sun and red, exuding a light fragrance. It is also the birthplace of Yanjing City, and it is said that "there is a lotus pond first and then Yanjing City". This beautiful scenery also attracts many surrounding residents to exercise and walk here in the morning. When Zhou Cheng was trotting all the way around the lotus pond, he saw many acquaintances in a community.
When Zhou Cheng ran half a circle around the lake, someone suddenly slapped him from behind, and then Gu Xintong, who was wearing a white tracksuit, appeared on his right side, parallel to him.
"Morning, landlord."
"Early."
Zhou Cheng didn't know when she started, but seeing that the back of her sportswear top was soaked, he knew that the intensity of the workout was more than his own.
This park is very large, it is close to three kilometers to run around the lake, Zhou Cheng used to return the same way after running a lap, but after running a lap today, he watched Gu Xintong continue again, gritted his teeth and followed. After two laps in a row, Zhou Cheng really couldn't run, and sat directly on the wooden chair in the park. Today was far beyond his exercise, and he even doubted that he would have the strength to trot all the way back.
"You can't sit down after running, you need to stand up and walk slowly for a distance to achieve the effect of exercise." Gu Xintong estimated that he had also reached the limit, half-arched, holding his knees with both hands, and said to Zhou Cheng in a rough manner.
"Okay, take two steps." Zhou Cheng saw that a newsstand not far away had opened for business, so he barely stood up with the back of his chair, came to the newsstand to buy two bottles of water, and handed Gu Xintong a bottle.
"Thank you!" Gu Xintong originally brought a sports kettle, and it is estimated that he has already drunk it, and he was not polite when he saw the mineral water handed over by Zhou Cheng.
After drinking most of the bottle of water and replenishing the water lost due to running, Zhou Cheng looked at Gu Xintong, who recovered faster than himself, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect your physical fitness to be so good, originally I ran around the lake, and then trotted all the way back, but I didn't expect to be taken by you for another lap today." ”
"I've been an athlete for a while, and I haven't been relaxing since I went to college, so I've been doing a little bit better." Gu Xintong wiped the sweat with the towel on his shoulder.
"Athletes? You're not going to learn judo, are you? Zhou Cheng suddenly remembered that she had told herself that she had learned judo, and that the move she threw herself last night was so standard.
"Yes." Gu Xintong smiled embarrassedly: "Later, I gave up because I was worried about getting fat." ”
"You're in really good shape, and it's a bit of a loss if you don't go modeling." Zhou Cheng looked at the girl's slender figure and couldn't help but praise it.
Gu Xintong's height is about 170 cm, but her pair of straight long legs are almost one meter, which sets off her and Zhou Cheng, who is 178 cm tall.
And Gu Xintong is a girl who gives people a great contrast. If you only look at her facial features, you will feel a little tough, especially the charming Danfeng eyes, which will exude a compelling and sharp light when she is not smiling, coupled with her sharp short hair, it is not surprising that Grandma Liu mistook her for a boy at the beginning.
But when she laughs, those eyes will bend down, and the smile at the corners of her eyes and the two shallow dimples on her face will make her more feminine, and even forget the impact of her short hair. Although this characteristic is fascinating, Zhou Cheng does not want to develop a relationship with her beyond friendship.
"Let's go, Brother Tong, I invite you to breakfast, which is to celebrate your move to my snail house and be a neighbor with me."
Since Gu Xintong's leasing of his own house has become an established fact, Zhou Cheng doesn't want the two to be too embarrassed under the same roof. simply call her Brother Tong directly according to her own habits, so that everyone will live together in the future, but there will not be too much sense of estrangement between men and women.
"Brother Tong?" Gu Xintong touched her short hair, and she was smart enough to know that this was Zhou Cheng's definition of the relationship between the two, which also made her feel a lot more relieved.
"Brother Cheng, I remember that you seem to be the boss of a brokerage company, you only ask for breakfast, it seems that you are the landlord enough to pick the door."
"Xingcheng Culture Co., Ltd." Zhou Cheng corrected angrily: "If you think I'm slamming the door, then you can invite me." ”
"Don't pick it, thank you Brother Cheng." Seeing that Zhou Cheng was unmoved, Gu Xintong began to sell miserably: "I'm just a freshly graduated student, and now I still belong to the internship period, and my monthly salary pays the rent, which is only enough for three meals a day and transportation expenses." ”
"Let's go, I'll have breakfast." Zhou Cheng gave the empty bottle to an aunt who was scavenging while walking, and took Gu Xintong all the way back.
"I didn't expect you, a southern girl, to be able to drink bean juice?" At that time, Zhou Cheng had seen a copy of her ID card, and Gu Xintong's hometown was Jiangxi Province, a province with a relatively low sense of existence.
Gu Xintong sandwiched a scorched circle, dipped it in bean juice, and took a bite of it, reminiscing about it: "When we used to train, boiled chicken breast meat in white water was more difficult to swallow than this. Since then, I've never been a picky eater anymore. ”
Listening to this girl's words, Zhou Cheng found that she had another point of compatibility with herself.
