Chapter 7: Sister, Come Here
10.
"Chen Xi, what's going on with the house? Would you like me to ask for you?"
Tao Xin, a 9-to-5 office worker, took advantage of her busy working hours to care about me, an empty nest woman who had just returned to China, which was really touching.
I brushed my teeth and replied to her, "No, the senior helped me get in touch, saying that his friend happened to go abroad and the house was empty."
"Senior? You said you met that one abroad some time ago?"
"Well, he returned to China before me, and he has already been contacted, and I plan to go over and have a look today."
Since I came back the day before yesterday, I have been staying in the hotel for two days, and I can't afford this high consumption, so I got up early this morning and contacted the senior, and it happened that he had time today, so I made an appointment to go and see it for a while.
Tao Xin's tone over there suddenly became ambiguous, "This senior is not simple, is it interesting to you?"
I was speechless, "Where did you come from so many dramas, we were just good friends when we were studying abroad, put away your brains."
Seeing that there was no gossip to pick up, she immediately lost her interest, "Okay, I won't tell you, when you settle down, my sister will organize a housewarming banquet for you."
Before I could speak, I had already hung up the phone, and this master really didn't miss any opportunity to get together.
When I arrived at the agreed place, the senior was already waiting there.
"Here we are." The senior saw me and greeted me with a smile.
"Senior." I used to call him.
He frowned, deliberately showing an unhappy look, "I have all graduated, and I am still called senior, and they all call me old."
I laughed and quipped him, "Senior is always young, immortal male god."
He was helpless, "If you say that, you feel older."
So I told him and laughed and went upstairs.
The house is a two-bedroom apartment, fully furnished, and the basic furnishings are available, and after looking around, the senior asked, "How is it, are you satisfied?"
"Well, that's good," I nodded, "just the rent... How much is it a month?"
"Two thousand."
"So cheap?" I can't believe it, is this house in such a good location and so cheap in rent?
Seeing my surprised look, he said lightly, "Well, the owner of the house went abroad some time ago, and it is empty, so it's better to rent it out cheaper, and someone will help you look after the house for free."
"If you think it's good, move here as soon as possible, it's not safe for a girl to stay in a hotel, do you need help?"
"No, I don't have a lot of things, just take a taxi."
"yes, okay." The senior didn't force it anymore.
After looking at the house, it was already past eleven o'clock.
I looked at my phone, and it was almost time to make an appointment with Cheng Yu.
Before leaving yesterday, Cheng Yu said that he would go to him at 12 o'clock at noon every day in the future.
I didn't even have time to invite the senior to a cup of coffee, so I looked at him embarrassedly, "Senior, I have a consultation here, it's almost time for the consultation, next time I invite you to dinner."
The senior smiled and nodded.

In front of Cheng Yu's house, it took a few minutes after I rang the doorbell to open the door.
The person who opened the door was not Cheng Yu.
"Sister Beauty, who are you looking for?" The boy looked at me with a playful expression.
I began to doubt my memory, took a few steps back, and looked at the house number, yes?
Does Cheng Yu's family have magic, how can it bring surprises every time?
Seeing that I didn't speak, the boy stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, "Beautiful sister?"
Then I saw Cheng Yu walking over leisurely, his face was a little red, as if he had drunk wine, "Come in."
The boy glanced at Cheng Yu suspiciously, and then looked at me, "Looking for him?"
I nodded.
I glanced inside through the crack in the door, and there were several people in the living room, which was quite lively, as if it was a party.
"If it's inconvenient, I'll come later."
"Nothing inconvenient, come in." After Cheng Yu finished speaking, he turned around and went into the house, ignoring me again.
The boy was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and laughing, "He's just that virtuous, beautiful sister, you come in first."
Cheng Yu directly crossed over the group of people, left a sentence of "you play first" and led me into the room.
As I passed by the living room, I could hear someone whispering.
"Who's that woman?"
"I don't know, Cheng Yu has brought the family here."
"I haven't seen anyone he take home, could it be..."
Then I heard the laughter of several people.
These boys are also very good at drama.
Should I go out and explain, I'm actually his psychiatrist.
After entering the room, there was only one computer chair except for a large bed, and I quickly sat down on the chair, which would have been rude enough to enter someone else's room, and I must not sit on the bed.
It's just two people and it's not a lot of space, so there's always a sense of tension, and I'm no exception.
Cheng Yu looked at me, and his disgust was overflowing, "I didn't find you so defensive before."
After saying that, he leaned back on the bed with a big grin, and his eyes fell on me unfriendly.
Suddenly, my heart was beating fast.
Before going abroad, when our relationship was like glue, he rented a house near the school in order to be able to spend more time with me.
At that time, I often went to his place, sometimes as a free study room, sometimes to cook something for him.
Every time I was studying or cooking something for him in the kitchen, he would move a stool and sit next to me honestly, and when I asked him what he was looking at, he would be very shameless and say, "My sister is beautiful."
Every time I went it was during the day, and only once I stayed there at night, because he had drunk too much that day, and he had a high fever, and when I was about to leave, he took my hand pitifully and said, "Sister, don't want me."
It was the same that day, I helped him to the bed, took fever-reducing medicine, and sat in a chair to look after him.
He had a high fever and was uncomfortable, but he lay there but refused to close his eyes, and beckoned to me, "Sister, come here."
I thought he was uncomfortable, and I just wanted to probe his head, but as soon as my hand was stretched out, he grabbed him, and the whole person lay on top of him.
I was too shy to do it, but I couldn't push him away, and he restrained my restless hand a little harder, "Sleep on the bed, it's uncomfortable to sit there, I won't touch you."
Then he pushed hard, and the world spun around, and I was placed on the other side of the bed.
He lay down on the edge and deliberately kept his distance from me, "Don't infect you with a cold."
