"Ahem, ahem... What did you say? For a long time? ”

Chen Xing, who was still eating, was choked, and after straightening his breath, he looked at the culprit sitting across from him.

The girl turned her head away with some embarrassment.

One is that it's a little hard to choke Chen Xing, and the other is that she said something like this...

"Yes... May I? ”

Hearing the girl's voice, Chen Xing glanced at the remaining noodles in the bowl, "I just said... I only have one room here to sleep in..."

"I can lay on the floor!"

Chen Xing raised his head and met the girl's resolute eyes.

"Wait a minute..."

"I can lay the floor."

"No, Li Muyi, listen to me."

The girl was sitting precariously, waiting intently for Chen Xing's words.

Chen Xing saw the girl's sitting posture, and suddenly felt like a teacher...

Glancing at the girl, Chen Xing seemed to see something and hurriedly turned his head, Li Muyi was a little confused when he saw his movements.

"You better not sit up straight... Sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

The girl's little face turned red again, she clasped her hands in front of her, bent over slightly, and glared at Chen Xing in shame, but seeing that the latter did not continue to look at her, she calmed down.

The girl cleared her throat, "You say..."

"Uh-huh, that's what I'm going to do... Well... If you really live with me, it won't be impossible. But I can't get a girl to do the flooring... So you sleep in the bed, and I sleep on the floor or the sofa. How's that, is it? Chen Xing lowered his head, finished the noodles in the bowl in one go, and took a sip of soup, he put down the bowl and looked at the girl opposite.

He saw that the girl was very entangled, so he couldn't help but continue to speak, "Are you afraid of my bed or some other reason... That..."

"Don't sleep on the sofa, it's not good for your health, and besides, your sofa is not long enough..."

Chen Xing was stunned, he didn't expect the girl to be thinking about this.

Feeling the girl's concern for him, he smiled slightly, "That's good, as long as you don't mind being in the same room with a lonely man and a widow." ”

"If you dare to do it, I will do it too!" The girl shouted angrily.

Chen Xing hurriedly pulled this topic over, lest the girl couldn't help but do it to him now.

"You said you'd give me money... Wouldn't two thousand a month be a bit too much...? ”

Chen Xing thought of the rental advertisements he had seen before, and a single room was less than a thousand a month.

Although I don't know what the situation is like in other cities, for a third-tier city like Sioux City, 1,000 a month is already too high, let alone 2,000 a month proposed by a young girl.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing said the cost of 1,000 yuan per month.

"Why don't I add another five hundred, and it will be used as food, okay? 1,500 yuan a month for food... It is a total of 2,500 yuan per month. ”

The girl hesitated when she spoke.

She didn't know what the prices were here, so she could only increase them little by little.

If Chen Xing knew that what the girl was thinking was five hundred at a time, he would definitely be very angry.

If you want him to eat for a month, it's only 500 yuan...

Chen Xing was stunned when he heard the girl's words, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "If you add food... Count you in a thousand and five... Of course, if you think what I'm making is unpalatable, you can also order takeout. Say yes in advance, I won't return if you give it to me..."

"Can I cook?"

"Huh... I..."

This time, Chen Xing became at a loss.

He really didn't expect her to think that.

So, he said tentatively: "Or do you go out to buy vegetables while you cook?" You can come in turns..."

As soon as the words came out, Chen Xing saw that the girl's eyes dimmed, and when he thought he had said the wrong thing, he heard the girl's explanation.

"I haven't been able to go out for the last few months."

"Ahem... Wait a minute..."Chen Xing, who had just taken a sip of soup, was choked again.

The girl looked at this somewhat stupid person with some concern.

How can you choke on a meal so many times?

Is there anything so shocking about what she said? Without... Alas...

"I can't go out lately, but the reason can't..."

"I understand, I understand."

Chen Xing, who came with his breath again, no longer made a fuss.

He was choked because of what the girl just said, and there was another meaning in it.

Recent... It should be to avoid something, but the point is that she is in his house like this, and she doesn't go out at a single step...

Hasn't he become a golden house treasurer?

Although this is not a golden house, Jiao is really Jiao...

Chen Xing glanced at the girl with a beautiful face.

The little girl, although she has not fully grown, Chen Xing feels that she is no worse than those big stars, and even surpasses.

After cleaning up the remaining soup in the bowl, Chen Xing, who was judged to be a little stupid by someone, got up, put away the bowl and chopsticks in front of the girl, and turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey, Chen Xing, you..."

"Wash the dishes, you wait."

Putting the dishes and chopsticks into the sink, Chen Xing heard the girl's voice coming with him, and he looked at it suspiciously.

"We go on to say... I have a question for you, how are you financially doing... I'm not trying to figure anything out, I just want to ask. ”

Looking at the girl's clear eyes, Chen Xing smiled dumbly, picked up the dish towel, pressed some dish soap, and after passing it with water, Chen Xing began to wash the dishes.

"My parents died before I was a year old. But... They left me a sum of money that would be just enough to support me through college. ”

"So you're a college student now?"

"Prospective college students, school will start at the end of this month."

"Uh-oh."

The girl stood beside Chen Xing, and there were two people standing in the small kitchen, which inevitably seemed a little crowded.

But focusing on the things in hand and thinking about some things, Chen Xing and Li Muyi didn't care about these.

"Who raised you...?"

"The Lin family next door, but they moved out after I finished junior high school. It seems that my parents and Uncle Lin are not bad, begging them to raise me... Anyway, after they left, I was left alone for three years. ”

"Did your uncle and aunt leave this room for you?"

As if thinking of something, Chen Xing laughed at himself, "Yes, what should be kept is not kept, but what should not be kept is kept." But, the funny thing is, it's the basics of my survival that shouldn't have been kept..."

"Don't talk about it."

The girl felt that Chen Xing's mood fluctuated a little, so she opened her mouth to stop him.

Chen Xing looked up at the girl, and returned to Fang Cai's smile.

"I'm sorry... I'm used to being alone at home, and it's the first time I've said that to outsiders. ”

"For the first time..."

"Well, maybe it's fate."

The girl chuckled and subconsciously took the bowl handed over by Chen Xing.

Both of them were stunned.

Chen Xing originally planned to put the cleaned bowl on the left hand side, but the girl took it directly.

In order to break the embarrassment, Chen Xing pointed to the other side of the girl and guided the girl to put the bowl there.

Looking at the girl's back, Chen Xing's heartstrings were touched.

Why did he want to tell her those things?

Could it be that it was really fate?

"You don't have the surname Li, do you?"

Seeing the girl's momentary pause, Chen Xing laughed, "Mu Yi, don't worry, I won't ask if you don't say it." ”

The girl put the bowl away and smiled at Chen Xingyan.

"Thanks."

The girl returned to Chen Xing's side again and took over the dishes and chopsticks he had washed again.

"By the way, which university did you get into?" The girl was a little curious.

"Sioux City University here. You're not from Sioux City, are you? ”

"Well, it's not."

Chen Xing nodded, he didn't mean to ask where the other party's home was, but he knew that the girl might not be particularly familiar with this place.

"If you stay with me for so long, your parents will be worried, right? Would you like to give them a call..."

Chen Xing had confirmed that the girl had nothing else on her body except for her bank card and ID card.

Oh yes, and the knife she snatched...

"Don't."

"Mu Yi, are you running away from home or something... If they can't find anyone, they'll call the police, so let's do it first..."

"They won't."

Hearing the girl's somewhat difficult tone, Chen Xing gave up persuasion.

He didn't mean to ask about people's homes.

But judging from her reaction, she may not be particularly happy with her family.

If she lived with him, he would be the equivalent of a landlord who rented out a house, and he would never ask more questions when faced with something he shouldn't know.

The two of them were silent and did the job at hand.

When Chen Xing wiped his hands, he saw the girl standing upright, and her white little hands were wiping the dishes with a cloth.

Uh-huh... When will you be able to find such a wife?

You can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen.

"I charge you 2,000 a month, and you can use the electrical appliances at home as you like, is it okay?"

Chen Xing remembered what happened to Fang Cai, so he rejected the girl's last proposal, and instead accepted the girl's initial proposal.

Lu Xun said well, give people a choice of one high and one low, and people are better at compromise.

"I'd better give you an extra five hundred dollars... Equivalent to the compensation fee that I trouble you? ”

"Is it compensation for holding a knife to my neck just now?"

"Hmm. I didn't mean to, but at the time I was afraid of what you were going to do to me..."

"And you're asking me to take you home again?" Chen Xing was very puzzled, since he was wary of him, why was he like this now?

The girl's face turned over and stopped looking at Chen Xing.

"Huh?" didn't get a response, Chen Xing saw that she didn't want to say it, so he didn't bother with the matter anymore, "The five hundred yuan is not needed, I can see you like this... Beauty, while pleasing the eyes, is equivalent to making up for my wounded soul. Hey, don't take a knife! ”

"Hooligans!"

...

Settle the price given by the girl, Chen Xing's heart is happy.

With an extra 2,000 yuan a month, he doesn't have to work much.

What's more, it's not hard to earn two thousand dollars.

"I'll go take a shower first, and I'll talk about other things later."

"Can I move your stuff?"

"Whatever you want, just don't make too much of a mess."

The words of the two seemed to know each other very well.

Chen Xing was sure that the girl would not rummage through his things, and the girl was sure that he would agree to her request.

One is to look at people, and the other is also to look at people.

Both of them have a certain understanding of each other.

After taking the clothes, Chen Xing also took the coat that had been wet on the chair.

Subconsciously, he leaned his nose closer and sniffed.

I smelled a faint fragrance.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, Chen Xing felt that there was also a girl's fragrance in the air.

"Ahem, why is it a little perverted..."

Put the coat draped over the girl in the washing machine, and Chen Xing opened his mouth to ask the girl in the hall.

"Mu Yi, your skirt... Do you want to put it in and wash it? Or..."

"Oh, you wait for me."

After the girl answered him, she went into the bathroom and took out the somewhat tattered black dress.

Seeing the girl's brows furrowed slightly, Chen Xing asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's kind of rotten... There were several openings. ”

Remembering that the girl was reluctant to say why the dress was broken, Chen Xing took the skirt from her hand and planned to put it in the laundry bag.

"You can put this skirt in the washing machine, right? Also, when it's cleaned, you can decide if you want it or not. ”

"Good..."

Without denying it, Chen Xing continued with what he was doing.

The girl did not leave, but kept quietly watching him by his side.

"Mu Yi."

"Huh?"

"Why do you plan to stay with me... Well, no, should I say why did I bring you to my house? ”

"Intuition."

"Intuition? What do you mean? ”

"You're a good guy."

Chen Xing was embarrassed.

Yes, he was issued a good guy card.

"Thank you."

"Ah, no thanks." The girl couldn't react to Chen Xing's sudden thanks, but she still subconsciously answered.

Seeing Chen Xing enter the bathroom, the girl also walked away and began to explore this unfamiliar environment.

Chen Xing's home is not big, but in the first ten years, it was still very luxurious.

It's a good living room, with a sofa that can sit for three people, and a glass table in the middle, and the sofa is facing the LCD TV that is some years old.

Next to the TV is a computer, and behind it is a small balcony.

In fact, when she entered the door, the girl already had a general understanding of his family.

On the right side of the door is the living room, on the left is the kitchen table and utility room, at the end of the middle is the bathroom and toilet, and the corridor is facing two rooms in the middle.

Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, the girl was bored and observed her surroundings.

The things are still very neatly arranged...

Presumably he has put a lot of thought into it alone.

Taking back the two cards, the girl looked at the knife on the side and fell into deep thought.

Chen Xing came out of the shower to see such a picture.

The girl sat in her chair and looked solemnly at the knife she had brought.

"Mu Yi, you..."

The cold light flashed away, and when Chen Xing reacted, he was held by a knife in front of his neck.

"Why don't you make a sound when you walk?" The girl's willow eyebrows furrowed and said angrily.

Chen Xing felt bitter in his heart.

Who walked without a sound, he didn't say.

The girl withdrew the knife, her little face turned red in an instant, and she put the knife in front of Chen Xing again.

Frightened, Chen Xing raised his hands and didn't dare to move.

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Why don't you get dressed!"

Chen Xing was stunned when he heard this.

Damn, he forgot...

"I said I'm used to it, do you believe it..."

"Hey, auntie, don't be angry!"

"Miss, don't pinch it, it hurts..."

The girl heard his plea for mercy and stopped.

And the cold light in her eyes did not diminish, and the flush on her face did not disappear.

"Give me a reason."

To Chen Xing's ears, the girl's voice seemed to suppress anger.

"I think you're a good guy too. It's true... Hey, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, you let me get dressed... Don't pinch grandma! ”
