Chapter 48 Missed

Li Yuebai had already gotten up when Jia Fei knocked on the door. After Jia Fei came in and saw the indoor environment, he didn't comment on anything, just said: "Your place is really hard to find."

There was only one plastic stool in the room, which was probably left by the previous tenant. Li Yuebai usually lives by himself, and would sit on the bed when he came back. He took the stool out from behind the door, wiped it with his sleeve, and asked Jia Fei to sit down, "That's all." Don't come here, you have to come here."

Because it is a basement, the lights are turned on in the room during the day, Jia Fei saw the medicine box on the table, frowned and said, "Are you sick?"

Li Yuebai said indifferently: "I have a cold, are you here for something?"

Jia Fei said: "Anyway, I'm an old classmate, so I can't come and see you if I have nothing to do?"

Li Yuebai lowered his head, his eyes fluttered, and he didn't speak.

Jia Fei got up and walked around the room, "How much is your monthly rent?"

Li Yuebai was so ill that he was a little absent-minded, raised his head and thought about it, and reported a number.

Jia Fei said: "Why don't you rent my house! The last time you went there, I basically didn't live there. The last time I came back from another place at night, the high-speed rail station is close to here. I was too tired. Come and stay the night."

Li Yuebai shook his head and said, "I learned about the market when I was looking for a house. With my current salary, I really can't afford to rent your house."

Jia Fei thought for a while and lowered his head with a smile: "It's too vulgar to talk about money, but brothers will settle accounts clearly, how about this, I will only rent you one room, and you will pay me the current rent for this room, and you will pay for the utilities yourself." , help me clean up when I'm free, I can save a lot of money for housekeeping, and we are mutually beneficial. What do you think?"

When Li Yuebai was in City B, although the dormitory conditions were mediocre, the room was large, well lit and ventilated, and there was a large terrace where you could grow flowers and plants, so even though he had lived in this basement for two months, he still couldn't get used to it.The whole corridor is full of mildew and damp smell that lingers for a long time, and the lights have to be turned on 24 hours a day to illuminate. These are not the most unbearable, but the most depressing thing is that the sound insulation of this house is extremely poor. At night, they have to shake the ground before they are willing to lie down honestly. The children in the house on the right like to cry at night, and the old lady on the diagonally opposite door gets up very early every day. Not only can't sleep well at night, but also can't sleep well in the morning.

Seeing his hesitation, Jia Fei walked over to help him pack his luggage, "That's it, we'll move in today."

Li Yuebai came back to his senses, and said depressedly: "But I paid the rent for three months, and I haven't moved in for another month. The landlord will definitely not refund my money."

Jia Fei turned around and patted him on the shoulder, "If you get sick twice less, and take a few days less leave, you will get back the rent for one month. If you are sick, you won't even be able to settle this account."

Li Yuebai thought about it, and it was really the case.In this way, he moved to Jiafei's apartment on Huayuan Road to rent.

Indeed, as Jia Fei said, he almost didn’t live there. Except for the day when he was sent there, Li Yuebai didn’t see him for the next month. Li Yuebai paid him three months’ rent in one lump sum according to the rental agreement here. After transferring the money to him on WeChat, Jia Fei accepted all the bills, and sent him an account for paying utility bills, telling him to remember to pay the bills on time.

The rest was guaranteed, and Li Yuebai's discomfort and depression when he first came to City A gradually eased.However, he still hasn't made any progress in finding a job. Once he came home from work and saw a package at the door. He didn't buy online, so he sent a message to ask Jia Fei. After the two talked about the package, they chatted casually about the current situation. , Jia Fei heard that he still hadn't found a matching job and was still delivering food, and asked him if he needed help, and he said no, Jia Fei didn't intervene. This way of getting along made Li Yuebai feel no psychological burden. Jia Feishi's subtle emotions were gone. He felt that even if he earned less, it was only because of the different social division of labor that he was no worse than others.

On this day, Li Yuebai went to a company for an interview, and the interview location was only a few stops away from Cen Sen's home. He came out of the company he was interviewing for, and couldn't help but take a taxi there to see things and think about people.

Cen Sen's house is on the first floor. He stood under a tree not far away and looked out. He found that the curtains in the bedroom had changed colors. Maybe Cen Sen didn't change it himself. He probably rented out his house, and of course he might have sold it outright. He stood dazedly under the sun and could see that the security guards in the neighborhood passed by and felt that his behavior was unusual. After careful consideration, he came up and asked, "Is the handsome guy here to see a friend? I haven't seen him before."

Li Yuebai came back to his senses, moved in his heart, nodded and said: "Well, I have a friend who lived in that apartment before, and then he went abroad, and we haven't contacted for a long time. There are clothes in the sun, I thought he was back." Maybe the security guard will know the current situation of this house.

The security guard said: "You said that your friend has gone abroad, is he the owner?"

Li Yuebai nodded, "Well, the house belongs to him. He has been abroad for more than a year. I don't know if the house is rented to someone else or sold?"

The security guard said: "It is rented now, but it seems that it is going to be sold. A few days ago, a real estate agent brought someone over to check the house to understand the situation. I happened to be on duty that day. The house is still rented. Of course, they can't go in to see it. Just take a look at the surrounding environment, the community is well greened, and the surrounding traffic is also convenient, the people looking at the house seem to be very excited."

He was going to sell the house, did he not plan to return to China at all?Li Yuebai couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he rushed to the security guard and said, "Thank you for telling me."

The security guard waved his hand, "You're welcome."

Li Yuebai said: "I want to take another look."

The security guard asked strangely, "What's so interesting about this?"

Li Yuebai: "I gave him two pots of flowers before. I don't know if he took them away or was thrown away by the new tenant, so I want to take a look outside the balcony."

The security guard wondered what might be a more valuable flower, otherwise this person wouldn't be so concerned. Although the young man in front of him didn't look like the kind of criminal who committed crimes, he couldn't tell for sure these days. He thought about it, Said: "I will take you there."

Li Yuebai nodded, "Thank you."

Outside the balcony are low shrubs and grass. Through the shrubs and a glass wall, the situation on the balcony is clear at a glance. The place where the green plants and roses were originally placed is occupied by children's toys, and there is no shadow of a flower pot. Li Yuebai is watching Fascinated, suddenly a three or four-year-old boy appeared in his field of vision holding a concrete mixer truck. The child lost his toy and looked at him curiously through the glass window. A few seconds later, there was a boy wearing an apron. The woman turned around from the restaurant next to her, her mouth shape seemed to be calling for a child, Li Yuebai turned around and left to avoid embarrassment.

The security guard asked amusedly, "Did you see it?"

Li Yuebai's tongue was bitter, and he said with a wry smile: "I didn't see it, it should be disposed of. Thank you, I'm leaving."

The security guard laughed, "It's okay, it's okay."

The little boy in the window saw the adults outside, picked up the toy car on the ground, turned around and walked back. The middle-aged woman was holding a bowl of minced meat porridge in her hand, chasing and intercepting the child, "Xuanxuan opened his mouth wide , If you don’t eat the little mouse, you will eat it.”

The little boy was not confused, turned his head to avoid the spoon in the woman's hand, and said in a drawn-out voice: "No." Suddenly seeing the door of the study opened, he ran around the woman, with a He hugged the man's leg, "Uncle, can you play with me for a while?"

Cen Sen held a stack of books in his hand, looked down at the boy and smiled, "You're so old, can't you eat by yourself?"

The nanny next to him said: "He can eat by himself in the kindergarten, but he needs to be fed at home."

Cen Sen put the book on the corner of the coffee table, "Why don't you eat by yourself at home?"

The boy said confidently: "There is no teacher at home."

Cen Sen said with a smile, "You feed the teacher?"

The boy dragged Cen Sen's hand to the balcony, "Uncle, play with me for a while, I have a lot of toys here."

Cen Sen followed the child to the balcony. One hand was held by the boy and the other was in his trouser pocket. He turned his face and explained to the nanny who followed him, "I really don't have time today, so I came here to get some books. So play with Xuanxuan next time, okay?" The last sentence was addressed to the children.

The nanny said with a smile: "Sister Cen called just now and said that she must stay for dinner. How can I tell Sister Cen that you are gone?"

Cen Sen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to my aunt later." He reached out and touched the child's head, "Uncle is gone, goodbye."

The child reluctantly let go, "Goodbye."

Cen Sen left with the book in his arms. He disposed of the car before going abroad. This time, he drove his father’s Volkswagen when he came back to run errands. Old Cen’s car was old. It took 3 minutes to back the car out of the parking space, and drove slowly towards the entrance of the community. He slowed down in front of the barrier. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and no one came in or out. After 2 minutes without opening the door, he lowered the car window and looked into the security room. Seeing someone watching TV inside, he honked the horn, and a fat security guard poked his head out of the security room to take a look. He opened the door and said, "Yes. You, didn't you go abroad? When did you come back?"

Cen Sen had a slight impression of the security guard, and smiled lightly, "It's been two days since I came back."

The security guard said, "Do you want to come back for a long-term stay?"

Cen Sen shook his head, "Come here to get something, I'll be leaving in two days."

The security guard said: "Someone was looking for you just now, and he left when he saw someone else in the room. He had just walked for less than 10 minutes. If he walked slower, he would run into him. What a coincidence."

Cen Sen was shocked, "Can you tell me what he looks like?"

The security guard chuckled, "I can't tell. If you're not in a hurry, come in and take a look at the surveillance. The surveillance in our community is all high-definition, and the shots are very clear."

Coming out of the security room, Cen Sen's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and his heart seemed to be floating above the clouds. Go out of the community and turn left and walk for a few minutes to the subway station. He has probably already left. Where will the subway take him? Woolen cloth?

Cen Sen imagined Li Yuebai standing in the crowd of the subway, and suddenly found that he could only imagine a vague outline, and could no longer accurately imagine his facial features.

He drove the car out of the community, parked on the side of the road and hugged the steering wheel in a daze, the afternoon sun hit his face through the car window, he squinted his eyes slightly, after a long time, a tear fell from the corner of his eye, he suddenly twitched Nose, picked up the phone, even though the number had been deleted, but he still knew it by heart, trembling fingers, typed the next line of numbers on the keyboard, but no one answered the number he dialed out with courage, probably because the number was changed.
