Shen Jie stepped into the residence where she was going to settle in the next few days, and instinctively frowned slightly, unaware of it.

She turned around and saw Daiyu standing at the door of the room and hesitating: "Huh? ”

"Sister-in-law, I won't go in." Daiyu said as he put Xiao Yao and Shen Jie's big bags on the floor in the door of the room: "Xiaoxiao is still waiting for me below, we said we would go to dinner together - Xiao Yao hasn't come back yet, sister-in-law, do you want to eat with me?" ”

"Okay~ Forget it." Shen Jie blurted out: "Forget it, let's go, I won't be a light bulb." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." The ribbon fish was still enthusiastic, but the expression on his face revealed the voice of "this is the best": "Let's go together." ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey my fate, let's go." Shen Jie showed a sly smile.

Ribbon fish: "? ”

At this moment, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying were sitting on the bus home.

"Home" refers to Yu Lihua's home, of course.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the windows, casting dappled light and shadows on the seats and floor. As the vehicle vibrate, Xiao Yao and Yu Luying leaned together, and they also bumped and bumped.

Passengers sit in their seats or stand in the aisle, each immersed in their own thoughts. Some people looked down at their phones, some closed their eyes and shook their bodies slightly, and a few middle-aged uncles who got off work noticed that there was a bright and bright-eyed, amazingly beautiful high school girl leaning on the shoulder of a peer who wore black-framed glasses and looked very average no matter how she looked.

Tsk, children now, the uncle felt a little sour in his heart, and secretly sighed. We were ......

It's strange to say, it's supposed to be the summer vacation, why can you still see girls in school uniforms? Besides, the clothes, no matter how you look at them, have some marks of being half wet and half dry - it makes people feel a little unusual.

It's wet, it seems to be half dry, but it's still a little messy and crumpled on the body.

The color of the sweatpants has also returned to most of its dryness, but slight wet stains can still be seen on the knees and legs. The pink sweatpants clinged to her slender legs, which were so long and thin that they seemed to break when they snapped, which was distressing.

The girl's white sneakers were dry and clean, without a trace of smudge. The shoes are simple and durable, complementing her crisp school uniform. She—she didn't seem to be wearing socks, her fair, thin ankles peeking out from the middle of the upper and trouser legs, and they were set off more slender, and her round ankles were more cute.

What's going on with kids now? Wearing sneakers without socks, don't shoes stink? I don't understand...... Uncle shook his head secretly.

Grass, sat and sitted!

……

Xiao Yao gently pulled Yu Luying's slender wrist.

"Hmm." Yu Luying snorted softly from her nose.

"Do you have to go today? Won't it work tomorrow? Xiao Yao said with a sad face: "Your sister-uh, Shen Jie is carrying her luggage to find a house at this moment, if I don't show up, she can read me for a year, do you believe it?" ”

"That's no way," Yu Luying said: "Didn't I tell you, my mother was furious and said, 'If Xiao Yao doesn't come to dinner today, don't come again in the future', I rushed over early this morning to inform you of this matter." ”

Didn't you come here early in the morning to stimulate Shen Jie and ask her to let me break up with you, Xiao Yao thought.

After getting off the bus, Xiao Yao pulled her short-sleeved sleeves that were almost dry: "Hey, you tell me the truth." ”

"What?" Yu Luying said.

"Really, what do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked.

Yu Luying shook her head and showed an indifferent smile: "Does this matter?" ”

Dropping these four words, he walked briskly to the front without looking back.

"......" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment before he sighed and chased after him.

The two went around to the old shopping street and bought some fruit as usual. Under Yu Luying's recommendation, Xiao Yao bought a small can of high-quality Longjing.

"The ring on Shen Jie's ring finger, did you buy it for her?" On the way home, Yu Luying asked in a nonchalant tone.

"Well, that's her own." Xiao Yao didn't think it was a lie.

"Oh, I don't think you can afford it either." Yu Luying said.

As soon as the two of them entered Yu Luying's house, Xiao Yao didn't even have time to call "Auntie", and Yu Lihua shouted: "What's the matter with your clothes?" Got into the water and went swimming? ”

"No," Yu Luying said lightly: "With Xiao Yao, have a water fight with two children, if he wants to play, he will accompany him." ”

"Ouch, Xiao Yao, didn't Auntie say you......"

Xiao Yao: "? ”

"Hey no, Yu Luying, what about your socks, why did you come back barefoot? ……”

-- Dividing line --

At the same time, Shen Jie was sitting on the bed in the rental house, bowing her head and caressing her white socks.

I was going to choose a house together today and reward him after moving together.

Now, just watch and think about it-Shen Jie made up her mind.

She looked up and looked over the wall, but there was no clock there.

I had to look at my phone.

It's already past 8 o'clock.

He hasn't come back yet.

He chose a house here, moved, cleaned up, and cleaned up, but he, Xiao Yao, ran away with the little fox spirit openly.

The more you take a step back, the more angry you get.

Shen Jie hugged her head and squeezed out an indestructible, little fox-like cry from her mouth.

Dinner was with the three of them, with fish and Yan Xiao, and they found a random place to eat downstairs.

In order to thank the two for their hard work, of course, she Shen Jie herself paid the bill.

How long has it been since you came back? An hour? Two hours?

It's time to stop in moderation, right?

Shen Jie finally couldn't help it and dialed Yu Luying's phone number.

"Hello, you're on a call."

Oh yes, this little hoof in the morning, ah no, blocked my phone in the afternoon.

Shen Jie stood up and used this narrow spring wire bed as a trampoline, and while jumping on it, she erupted into an indecent curse in the dialect of the Demon Capital.

The girl soon stopped the vigorous movement, as large beads of sweat had begun to ooze from her forehead.

She put her head in the path of what the bobblehead fan could blow, but it was a hot wind.

It's a bit outrageous, it should be dark, right?

Shen Jie had no way to judge, because the small single room that came out of this partition had no windows, as long as the door was closed and the lights were not turned on, it would be dark.

It's a bit like a dungeon, but it's a good place to get some sleep.

She sat down quietly, sat on the 1.5-person-wide wire spring bed, turned off the light, and immersed herself in the darkness where she couldn't see her fingers.

There is only almost absolute darkness, but there is no Jinglan to match.

The reason, of course, is that the ring of partitions around her, which can be euphemistically called walls, does not have the sound insulation function that walls should have.

She could hear the tapping of slippers in the hallway, the loud coughing next door, and the muffled voices of men and women.

These voices sound as if they are far away and close to the ear.

Shen Jie discerned and pondered whether these were the voices of the neighbors or the voices coming from their TVs.

…… But why on earth do I think about such a thing? Anything is okay?

Sleep, as long as you sleep for a while, Xiao Yao will come over.

…… He can't get over this kind of thing, and I'm not looking forward to it, Shen Jie said to herself.

Shen Jie turned over a little irritably.

Then he rolled over again.

After three minutes, flip another one.

, can't sleep.

Shen Jie sat up and searched instinctively in the dark.

I actually found it for her.

The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned on the air conditioner in the room with a "drip".

The old lady of the landlady seems to say that the air conditioner will be charged an additional electricity bill, but whatever, right?

Push the air conditioner to 18°C.

It's more comfortable.

The girl folded her legs and pondered for a moment in the darkness.

Then, carefully lift the quilt.

……

Lying at home, you have to be so relaxed and comfortable.

She took off her clothes and wrapped herself in the quilt.

I wanted to take off my socks too, but I suddenly felt a sense of wrapping, which was quite comfortable, so I didn't take them off yet.

……

Shen Jie let out a sigh, and she felt sweaty again.

It's time to go take a shower.

The girl knew that the bathroom and toilet were at the end of this long corridor.

A bathroom, shared by more than a dozen or twenty families on the second floor, she has little confidence that when she goes by herself, she will not queue up outside the door.

And...... Gotta get dressed.

Shen Jie sat up, fumbled with her hand on the wall, and turned on a light bulb.

Her eyes had been silent in the darkness for too long, and the light of the light bulb was so abrupt and dazzling that she unconsciously stretched out her palm, palm outward, back of hand inward, blocking her eyes.

After getting used to the light in the room, Shen Jie put down her hand, pulled out her socks, formed a ball, and aimed at the temporary dirty laundry basket she had set up in the corner.

"Hey~~~Huh!"

Two clumps of socks cut a beautiful parabola through the air.

Nice feints, three-point shots!

Left outside!

Shen Jie lifted the quilt, jumped out of bed shirtless and feet, ran to the dirty laundry basket, picked up the socks, and threw them in.

Then he walked over to his duffel bag and found her long nightdress.

This nightdress is loose, conservative, and elegant, and even if you wear it and are seen by your male neighbor in the hallway, you won't feel indecent and at a loss.

After getting dressed, Shen Jie didn't immediately go to the bathroom to try her luck, but sat back on the edge of the bed and looked around at her "new home" in the next few days.

The room is not small, it has to be more than ten square meters, there is a light bulb hanging above the door, and there is a public corridor outside the door.

The so-called "four walls of the house" is the most appropriate way to describe this place, because the only furniture in the room is the bed in the corner, and then the dirty laundry basket set up in the other corner - that is what Shen Jie has just put by herself, and there is nothing else.

Yes, there were no tables, no chairs, no TV stands, not even a small bench, and no mirrors.

The decoration is pure blank, but the wall is still whitewashed, although it now looks gray, but it is still undeniable that it has been whitewashed.

There were several heavy duffel bags piled up in the third corner, which belonged to him and Xiao Yao, and they hadn't been opened much yet, so they were thrown there casually.

At the top of the duffle bag, there is a socket opening, the bottom is ∴ triangle, and the top is two-hole.

Shen Jie walked over and plugged her mobile phone charger into a two-hole socket, while the mobile phone body hung crookedly on a duffel bag.

Such a dwelling seems to be hardly called a "home", at best a "place to sleep".

Shen Jie lay back on the bed, looking at the ceiling where there was nothing, in a daze.

An indescribable emptiness and panic crept all over her body.

She felt that at a young age, she had become a resentful woman who was looking forward to her husband's return.

This is clearly not true.

When he ran away from home for the first time, Xiao Yao had not yet had a summer vacation, and when he went to school during the day and was locked up in Xiao Yao's grandmother's house, he had similar feelings.

But at that time, this feeling was only three or a quarter compared to now.

Shen Jie hugged her knees and curled herself up.

I remember that during the Chinese New Year this year, there was a distant cousin, who seemed to be about 30, who came to the house as a guest.

When playing cards with the seven aunts and eight aunts in the family, he said how terrible it is to get married.

"At a glance," the cousin chattered, "husband, child, busy around this house, at a glance, at the end of the line, at the end of the seventy or eighty." There will be no more dreams, no more expectations, and no more romance, the miracle of meeting love around the corner...... In this life, that's it. ”

"That's how people are," another female relative continued, "doing jobs I don't like, doing housework I don't like, marrying husbands I don't like, watching TV I don't like...... This life will soon be over. ”

At that time, Shen Jie had nothing to "take for granted" about this, she only felt that it was hypocrisy and the restless commotion of middle-aged women.

And I'm ...... He was only 17 years old.

I should have my own, what I should have at my age, what I should have at my age, what belongs to a girl, what belongs to a young life.

Maybe it's like Yan Xiao said, you can fall in love and have fun, but you shouldn't ...... Shouldn't......

And if you have any empathy with your cousins now......?

It's terrible, it's not terrible, it's a disaster.

For a moment, she didn't know who to blame. Shen Hongsheng, Xiao Yao, or herself? Or is it the future ...... you?

If that day, when Xiao Yao ran to the City Seven Girls Middle School to find him, he said to him very rationally and freely: "Even if you are my future husband, please follow the arrangement of fate, live according to the original trajectory, and wait for the day when you meet me for the first time." ”…… Words?

So what kind of life should I live now?

While thinking wildly, Shen Jie subconsciously turned the ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

It seems that the size is still a little smaller, and the roots of the fingers are faintly painful.

When you get it to the silver building, please change it a little bit......

Thinking like this, I finally stared in a daze and became confused.

I don't know how long she slept—probably not long—but she was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Who?" Shen Jie asked.

"Little girl, are you sleeping?" Outside the door, there was the kind voice of the landlady: "There is a young man who said that he was looking for you, and he said that his surname was Xiao." ”

Shen Jie jumped out of bed, ran to the door, and pulled open the embolization of the door.

Then he rushed back to the bed and lay down with his face facing the wall: "You let him in!" ”

Shen Jie heard the sound of the door being pushed open and slammed shut again.

Shen Jie heard footsteps, and then the sound of basketball shoes being taken off and falling to the ground.

Shen Jie felt that the quilt on her body was lifted from behind, and then the person went straight in.

Shen Jie was held from behind by a warm embrace and a pair of powerful arms.

She curled up, "Who are you?" ”

"Hello classmates, I am your future husband." The boy's voice said.

"And who am I?" Shen Jie buried her head deep in the quilt.

"You're my wife, don't doubt it!" The boy said categorically.

"No, I'm Meao Ma~~ Who made you go to bed in your coat and pants?" Shen Jie exclaimed, "Why is it still wet?!" You're going to die?! ”

The boy let go of himself, lifted the quilt, and jumped out of bed.

Shen Jie clutched the corner tightly.

This "sleeping place" still smells of "home" in the end.

Just a little bit!

"Serve me." Shen Jie faced the wall and commanded softly.

"Huh?" The man said. (End of chapter)
