Chapter 9 Cohabiting roommates

In the evening, Xie Shu did not eat, and went out to run around the streets of the neighborhood for an hour to exercise his physical strength and prepare for the future.

When I came back, I packed some light items with the big back I bought, which was large in size but light in weight. Tomorrow, I have to check out of the small hotel and move directly to the work "dormitory" provided by Aunt Wang, although Xie Shu has space to save a lot of trouble, but it is still necessary to pretend to move normally on the surface, otherwise it will arouse suspicion, not to mention that there is a roommate who does not know anyone and lives next door to him.

After picking and packing two large bags of luggage for tomorrow's move, Xie Shu took a shower, then turned off the lights and lay down, and the running exercise at night made Xie Shu be swallowed by exhaustion as soon as he got into bed, and fell asleep in a second.

……

The early morning sun kisses through the gaps in the curtains on Xie Shu's face.

Last night's exercise made Xie Shu sleep very deeply and peacefully, and the comfortable feeling even made Xie Shu feel a little uncomfortable. After recalling his current urgent situation, Xie Shu hurriedly got up and stretched his waist, and simply stretched to stretch his body, stretching the last trace of matching on his body.

I didn't go to wash up first, and with a nervous mood, Xie Shu entered the space with his mind, and the time on the wooden sign was no longer 00:00:00 last night, but 04:00:00! The moment he saw the changed numbers, Xie Shu experienced the feeling of "winning", and he was so excited that he even wanted to cry, adding four hours a day! A day that fills up space in six days! The importance of these space and time to help one's survival in the last days is self-evident, and even so, when you stock up on goods later, you must also "hoard" time.

After a quick wash, Xie Shu went downstairs to check out, and then went directly to Aunt Wang's house cooking, and bought two buns on the way for a simple breakfast, cheap and full.

"Aunt Wang, Uncle Wang, I'm here." Xie Shu put two large bags of luggage at the door, walked into the home-cooked restaurant with his outdoor bag on his back, and greeted Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang.

It is not yet the official business hours, and Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang are washing vegetables and choosing vegetables in the kitchen to prepare for the noon business. Aunt Wang looked in from the kitchen and showed a kind smile when she saw Xie Shu coming in, "It's Xiao Shu who came over." ā€

"Well, I'll be going to work tomorrow when I moved in today." Looking at Aunt Wang's gentle smile, Xie Shu spoke very kindly. As an emotionally flawed person, Xie Shu will naturally have a sense of distance from others, and so far, even Xie Shu's parents and best friends have not really entered Xie Shu's heart and understood her true thoughts. But Xie Shu is not cold-faced and paralyzed, if Xie Shu feels that someone is releasing obvious pure kindness, she is willing to respond with a gentle and cheerful side.

"Good. I'll call Liang Dong and ask him to pick you up, it's definitely inconvenient for you to move things as a girl, and we haven't finished our work yet. Xie Shu wanted to say that it was okay to go by himself without bothering Liang Dong, but he couldn't help Aunt Wang's enthusiasm and speed, and muttered that Xiaodong was very good, and he kept moving in his hands, and he picked up the phone and dialed out.

Seeing that Aunt Wang had already agreed with Liang Dong on the phone, then Xie Shu had no choice but to wait for Liang Dong to come over at the door of the store. After changing the phone number with Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang, I chatted about homely things, and inquired about some nearby stores or markets by the way, after all, no matter how accurate I searched with my mobile phone navigation last night, the real situation will not be better than the local people living here.

"Aunt Wang, where do you usually buy vegetables?" Xie Shu's eyes looked directly at the fresh rape in the vegetable basket, looking very interested.

"Just walk through the front two streets and then go to the Sunshine Vegetable Market at the east end, where the vegetables are usually pulled in by trucks from below in the morning, fresh and cheap."

"Then I'll go shopping when I have time, buy some food and cook food."

"Xiao Shu, you can just come to this restaurant for dinner, and you can pack the rice as you said at the beginning." Aunt Wang probably thought that Xie Shu had forgotten what she said about eating and lodging, and was busy reminding Xie Shu, but probably thought that Xie Shu might have to pick ingredients for cooking, so she said a few more words, "If you really want to go, go with your Uncle Wang, he is more familiar with that side, and it is cheaper to buy vegetables." ā€

"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow morning when Uncle Wang goes to buy vegetables." Xie Shu responded to Aunt Wang with a smile. That smile rippled at the corner of Xie Shu's mouth, but as everyone knows, it also rippled into the eyes of the person who was walking in.

Liang Dong was stunned for a moment and looked at Xie Shu, who was talking and laughing with Aunt Wang, and didn't react for a while, until Xie Shu noticed that he turned his head to look at him, and he came back to his senses, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, I'm here." ā€

"Xiao Dong is here, Xiao Dong, you lead Xiao Shu to lead the way, it's not convenient for her to move things as a girl."

Liang Dong didn't speak again after replying with a "yes", just looked down at Xie Shu slightly, and a few twisted feelings flashed in his eyes.

Xie Shu looked at Liang Dong in front of him, at least one meter eight or more tall, with the vigor of a young man, but the slightly bumpy growth experience made that vitality precipitate a little, and the broad shoulders seemed to be proof that he carried life.

The strange relief in Liang Dong's eyes was not noticed for the time being, and even if he did, it might not matter. It's just that Liang Dong's indifference and few words made Xie Shu instinctively feel a heavy sense of distance from him. "I'll just come by myself, please lead the way." Insecurity and obsessive-compulsive disorder lead to Xie Shu being a person who is used to relying on herself, she didn't plan to let Liang Dong help, she went out directly to pick up her two big bags that seemed to be heavy but were actually lighter, and stood at the door waiting for Liang Dong to come out and lead the way.

Liang Dong looked at Xie Shu's big bag of luggage in his hand, and a big backpack on his back, and then he reacted, "That...... I—I'll take it for you. Liang Dong ran to Xie Shu and stretched out his hand to Xie Shu, if you look closely, you can find that his hand is a little nervous and slightly trembling.

Xie Shu looked at Liang Dong's somewhat stammering appearance, and simply guessed that he might be a person who was not good at communicating with strangers, and when he thought of his life experience, he also understood. "It's okay, let's go."

Liang Dong's hand was still stretched, but Xie Shu still didn't give him the luggage, Liang Dong looked at Xie Shu's appearance of not entering the oil and salt, pursed his lips, and finally put down his hand. After the two said goodbye to Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang, they walked to the community behind the small restaurant together.

……

The two walked quietly side by side, and it was not until Liang Dong opened the door upstairs that they communicated.

"Here's the key to the door, give you one." Liang Dong took the key off the keyring, his movements were quite awkward, and his ears were obviously crimson, "That's your room over there, and then I'...... I'm here, so feel free to come to me if you have any questions. ā€

Xie Shu nodded, glanced at Liang Donghou, turned around and carried his luggage into his room, and closed the door. It is true that she has a flawed emotional expression, but because of this, she is more sensitive to the behavior of the people she sees around her. Liang Dong felt the strangeness of nervousness along the way, and Xie Shu also saw the performance in the entrance just now. Xie Shu is not a narcissistic person, but Liang Dong's performance makes her have to suspect that this student who has not yet graduated from college has a special affection for herself that is beyond that of strangers. But in any case, Xie Shu does not plan to develop too close social relationships in this "novel world" at present, there are too many variables in the future, and Xie Shu does not want to take risks.
