Chapter 90 Snowy Night, His Empty Room
Lin Yushan was surprised to find that he slept until seven o'clock in the evening during today's nap.
I opened the bedroom curtains, and it was already eight minutes dark.
She sat silently on the edge of the bed, staring at the snow-covered cypress tree outside the window for a moment, then picked up the coat on the chair and draped it over her body, put on her slippers and went to the kitchen.
The appetite is small, but the stomach still needs to be filled. She opened the refrigerator, took out the tomatoes and two eggs that she hadn't used up yesterday from the plastic bag, and prepared to go to the kitchen to make herself a bowl of tomato egg noodles.
Today is December 31st, the first day of the New Year's Day holiday.
In the morning, Yao Qing quietly dragged her suitcase back to Changde, saying that her relatives in her hometown were married, and she was just accompanying her family for the New Year's Eve after eating.
Although a few days ago, Yao Qing had warmly invited her to go back for the New Year's Eve together, saying that their family was all very hospitable, and asked her to go with her, so as not to be bored at home alone.
However, Lin Yushan refused on the grounds that he was unable to move and was afraid of causing trouble to their families.
Because, she also has her own family to accompany......
In addition to the Qingming Festival and his father's death day, on January 1 every year, Lin Yushan would go to the cemetery to offer incense to his father and pray for his father's blessing in heaven for his safety and prosperity.
Lin Yushan took a wooden spatula and skillfully stir-fried two last times in the pot, sprinkled with shallots, and served hot out of the pot.
After this simple meal, she washed the dishes and turned on all the lights in the house.
One person is still at a loss.
So quiet.
Before going to college, every New Year's Day comes, Xu Mengzhou will definitely let her go home in advance, even if she doesn't like Huang Ying anymore, she will come back. After all, this is one of the few days in the year when he can see Xu Mengzhou justifiably.
After going to college, she lived in the dormitory, and on the night of the 31st, she was not left alone in the dormitory, and there was still someone there.
Lin Yushan thought about it seriously. It's really the first time in life that a person has a New Year's Eve like today.
She is distraught and anxious to find something to distract herself. So I turned on the TV, turned up the sound, and started to clean up my room.
She opened the bookcase to sort out the previous postgraduate examination materials, and rummaged through them to find that something seemed to be missing.
The field record book that her father left her seems to have stayed in the Huachen Mansion.
“……”
Lin Yushan sighed and patted her head helplessly, she actually forgot to take it back when she was discharged from the hospital and moved.
At that time, she just wanted to move out of the house Xu Mengzhou rented for her as soon as possible. She left in a hurry, and basically only took her own clothes with her, and would rather leave the rest there than to meet him again.
Obviously, I had the opportunity to take it on Thanksgiving night, but I was stunned, and all I thought about was that photo, but I forgot about this ......
This wild book must be taken back. Lin Yushan glanced at his phone, it was now past eight o'clock.
In the past, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Mengzhou and Huang Ying spent it together in the small villa in the past. One year, when Huang Ying was away, he took himself to his parents' house.
Now he has moved out of the house after a divorce. Then, he should also accompany his father at his father's house tonight, even if the relationship is not good, it is still a family in the end.
Lin Yushan has a bottom in his heart, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he simply goes now. In case the door lock code is changed one day, you can only go to Xu Mengzhou to ask for it.
She quickly changed her clothes and went out.
When entering through the gate of Huachen Mansion, Lin Yushan deliberately pulled the scarf higher to block the lower half of his face. When she got downstairs to the unit, as she expected, the third floor was pitch black.
Go upstairs lightly, as you did that day. Unlock and close the door.
Lin Yushan went straight to the study and planned to make a quick decision, but as soon as she opened the bookcase, she was dumbfounded. If I didn't know where to put that photo at that time, but she kept her father's wild book here and didn't touch it, so why has it disappeared now?
Unless it was a hallucination, she didn't believe that these two things would disappear into thin air.
She thought about it.
Will?
After today, you may not have a chance, and that's okay... Fingerprints are the same anyway.
Lin Yushan gritted his teeth and turned off the light in the living room and locked the door. Then he pressed his fingerprint to open the door of Xu Mengzhou's room next door.
She took off her shoes in the hallway and went straight to the man's study.
Lin Yushan couldn't care that her legs were still aching, and she turned the man's study upside down.
Damn, why still not!
It's a good booklet, how can you say it's gone!
She was so anxious that she was hot and dry. The cold air in Jingzhou in December was close to zero, and it couldn't stop the sweat oozing from her forehead because of nervousness.
She felt that she was too obscene, like a burglary thief in the social news......
What to do? If you don't have any, you can only go to his room to have a look.
Lin Yushan turned off all the lights on the first floor, slowly went up to the second floor with the handrail, pushed open the door of the master bedroom and began to rummage.
Opening one of the drawers at the bottom of the man's bedside table, her eyes flashed.
Got it!
Lin Yushan excitedly removed the two books that were pressed and pulled the wild book out of it, but he didn't expect that there was something pressed under the wild book.
She looked closely, as if it were ......
She reached out and flipped the thing over.
It's the photo of Xu Mengzhou and her.
Lin Yushan's eyelashes moved, and he froze in place.
How could it be with him......
It's too late to think about it. Lin Yushan held the wild book and the photo frame in his arms, and stood up from the ground to prepare to withdraw.
But as soon as she reached the bedroom door, she suddenly froze.
As soon as he left like this, what would Xu Mengzhou do if he found that these two things were missing?
Isn't this tantamount to telling him nakedly that he has been here!
And it's sneaky, what's the difference between being a thief?
So today's trip is for nothing, isn't it......
Lin Yushan was petrified on the spot. It was as if the feet were smeared with glue, and they stuck to the spot and couldn't take a step.
If there was a mirror in front of her now, she felt that the expression on her face must be wonderful......
Forget it, it's coming. It's all broken up, so what's the point! I also saw on the Internet that someone went to the other party's house to steal a dog after breaking up. Take your own stuff and take it!
At the moment when the hand unscrewed the bedroom door handle, there was a prompt sound from the first floor that the electronic door lock was opened.
Finished.
Lin Yushan's head "buzzed", and a stream of blood rushed to the top of his head, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
From the first floor, there was the sound of slow, fragmented footsteps, the rubbing of coat fabrics, and the whispering of men.
Her heart was about to burst out of her throat, and she struggled to hold on to the wall to get herself on her feet. Then, on tiptoe, he shoved the two things he was holding back into the man's bedside table, and then turned off the light in the master bedroom.
A set of actions was so smooth that she was scared of herself in one go.
But what next! How to get out?
Flip the window? She racked her brain, and all she could think of was this way out.
This is the third floor, although it is not too high, but without protective measures, it is difficult for even a normal person to land safely, not to mention that she is half lame! Unless you don't want your own life!
"Well, I'm home." Xu Mengzhou tilted his head and held the phone between his shoulders, and while responding, he took off the bag he was carrying and hung it on the hook.
"Then I thank you so much," the man said with a smile in his tone, teasing, "Teacher Xiao Chen is right next to you, I heard her voice... Yes, you still remember to call me, a lonely person. ”
He held the mobile phone to his ear, took out his slippers with his other hand and changed them, went to the living room water dispenser to get a cup, cleared his throat and explained seriously to the other end of the phone: "... Nothing, not what you think. On the day of his retirement, Mr. Wang told me that he wanted to introduce me to the leaders of the Institute of Geology, so he organized this dinner. His daughter just came back from abroad, and she just landed in Jingzhou today, and it is normal for Mr. Wang to call his daughter over together. ”
The living room echoed very loudly, and Lin Yushan could hear it through the door. She could only hear words such as "introduction", "daughter", and "eating together".
But now her mind was so preoccupied with where to hide that she didn't have time for anything else.
Wardrobe, under the bed, behind the door. These are the only places where you can hide.
Hide it in the wardrobe and under the bed...... It's too much like the legendary man next door who would do it. If she is discovered, her face will be gone!
However, as long as Xu Mengzhou is not in the living room and master bedroom, she still has a chance to sneak out.
"Hurry to the bathroom, hurry up to the bathroom... Please! You're going!! Lin Yushan was about to cry, and he couldn't stop thinking in his heart.
Xu Mengzhou's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he drank all the water in the cup.
He crumpled the disposable cups into a ball, threw them into the trash can on the ground, and said, "What drunkards don't mean to drink, it's you who think too much... I didn't think it was anything when I ate today, and others didn't mean it......"
Xu Mengzhou was listening to the phone while wandering in the living room, his eyes wandering aimlessly.
Suddenly, my eyes were drawn to something.
"Wait a minute." He said.
He walked towards the entrance, his eyes falling on the carpet that had entered the house. The man looked fixedly in that direction, his pupils slowly focusing.
The eyes that were originally not rippling narrowed slightly.
Xu Mengzhou reached out and pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose. After a few seconds, he took the initiative to lower his voice a few points.
"Well, you go on."
The man looked around quickly, then turned and walked up the stairs towards the master bedroom.
Lin Yushan heard footsteps. Not fast, but getting closer. Her hands and feet were numb, and her body was no longer obedient.
There was no time for her to hesitate, and the man's footsteps had reached the door in a blink of an eye.
She gritted her teeth and quickly hid behind the door.
"Click-"
The doorknob was unscrewed, and a few seconds later, the ceiling light on the ceiling was also turned on.
The door was not tightly separated from the wall, leaving a gap about a finger wide.
The moment the light was turned on, Lin Yushan closed his eyes in a panic, and his eyelashes trembled slightly because he was too hard.
After the man came in, he didn't move, and still kept talking, Lin Yushan could hear the sound of his clothes rubbing against the sheets, and seemed to sit down.
"Well, I'm going to take a shower. You too, Happy New Year. ”
Xu Mengzhou said lightly and hung up the phone.
!!!
That's great! Go take a shower!
Finally found a chance! The tight strings in Lin Yushan's heart finally relaxed a little.
"Smack——!
Suddenly it was pitch black.
The lights were turned off.
She choked for breath.
Suddenly there was a wave of air around him. Then, a pair of hands clamped her arms tightly and pulled her out from behind the door.
There was no time to react, she had already been pressed against the wall by the man's shoulder.
"Speak."
The girl's shoulder blades slammed against the cold wall with a muffled thud.
Not only could she not utter a word, but even her brain could not react at all.
In a tiny, inky room, the air was cold.
The only temperature she could perceive came from the body temperature of the man in front of her, who was so close at hand, but couldn't see it.
Her moist lips lifted slightly, and her throat was astringent.
The man's large hand slid over the girl's shoulder, took her arm, and turned to push her onto the large soft bed.
She fell into it without resistance, and the man bullied her as a matter of course.
His wrists were firmly locked by those big hands, and there was not even the slightest room to break free.
The man's invisible strands of hair ran through the tip of her small nose. In the dark, the tingling sensation is magnified hundreds of times.
His warm breath was on his face, with a subtle hint of mint.
Close to her lips.
"You're here yourself."
