Can't speak

Until they entered the elevator and came out again, a few people walked outside the gate, until the three unscrupulous hookers left in a hurry, leaving a few wretched backs, until the little sheep started on the road and drove smoothly...Jiang Bai was able to Can come back to God.

Then, I started to feel anxious...

What's the situation with Nima? !

After 12 midnight, the noise of the city fades away, the streets are no longer full of people, and the roads become more empty. Only the occasional speeding vehicles add a little popularity to the gradually quiet market.

And in this dense and quiet night, a little brown sheep was driving unhurriedly along the edge of the road. If it wasn't for the streetlights to provide a certain degree of brightness, the car and the people on it would seem to be hidden in the night. .

The driver is focused enough and silent enough.And the person sitting in the back seat of the car was equally silent.The evening wind was blowing slowly, blowing them head-on, refreshing them...

The two people in the car had their own concerns, and no one made a sound along the way.No one made a sound, and the atmosphere seemed particularly weird.Jiang Bai is not a boring gourd, and Liao Ying is actually a cheerful person, so when two people are alone, there is no topic, which means that there is a problem between the two.

As for what kind of problem, Jiang Bai obviously has a deeper understanding than Liao Ying.

I don't know how long it took, just when Jiang Bai had the illusion that he was about to be dried, he suddenly felt that the speed of the car slowed down and stopped for a while. Then, Liao Ying leaned slightly, put one foot on the ground, and turned sideways Turn your face to those behind you and say,

"Xiaobai, get out of the car first, this slope is too steep, the car is about to run out of power, and you can't go up with people... There is a 24-hour convenience store in front, you can stop by to buy toiletries and a change of clothes Clothes, I don’t have spares at home, sorry!”

When Liao Ying said halfway, Jiang Bai had already stepped down with long legs, looked up at the long and sloping slope under the dim street lights, and glanced at the various supper stalls and some small shops on the side of the road, nodding at the same time , showing an even more embarrassing smile,

"No, I still want to thank you for taking me in! Then you can drive up first, and just wait for me on the top of the slope."

Unexpectedly, Liao Ying also got out of the car immediately: "No, in fact, even if my car has enough power, it can barely rush up this slope with only one person on it, ha ha..."

"Yes, it seems that you have been driving the car for a long time, and the battery is used up for a long time, that's how it is--Ma'am, let me push it."

Jiang Bai's hand was faster than he said, and he had already covered Liao Ying's hand holding the handlebar...

The moment the touch came, Jiang Bai's heart trembled for no reason, he stopped talking, and quietly looked at the person in front of him.And Liao Ying, who was holding the handlebar, felt that the other party was using force, without hesitation, she retracted her hand and said with a smile: "Then you push it! Go to the convenience store at the top of the slope to buy something, and then get off the car." There is a slope."

The two seem to have a tacit understanding. Neither of them mentioned the red envelope battle this morning, nor did anyone mention the ambiguous comment Jiang Bai left last night with his thick skin. It seems that nothing happened... …

If those sensitive topics are not mentioned, other things will always be discussed.

"By the way, lady boss, why are you still working in the karaoke room? Don't you open a shop during the day?"

Liao Ying's originally relaxed expression became a little sad because of this sentence. She shrugged and replied, "Part-time job, I want to make more money."

Jiang Bai frowned: "Aren't you very tired like this? Do you get off work at 12 o'clock every night?"

The other party shrugged again: "I can't help it, the business in the store is not good, and I have to pay for the rent of the store, the rent of the house, and the living expenses, and I have to bear the burden of the family. The pressure is too great, and it is really difficult not to do some part-time jobs... Sigh, with you You won't understand even if you say this!"

Distressed.

There are no words that are more suitable for Jiang Bai's mood at this moment, only distressed.Fortunately, she was still like Lili and the others, naively thinking that anyone who opened a shop and started a business would be a person with capital...

Perhaps that kind of emotion is too strong, infecting the people around him, making it easy to find her mind from Jiang Bai's eyes.Then, deep in my heart seemed to be gently caressed by something, soft, warm and comfortable.

How long has it been since I haven't seen understanding and distress for myself from other people's eyes...

The two had their own concerns again, but the topic continued.

"Then are you going to work in the karaoke room all the time? That kind of place is always a bit messy, and you get off work so late by yourself..." It's very worrying...

Touched by Jiang Bai's concern for her, Liao Ying thought of this person's indifference yesterday, and her politeness to her bowl of powder money this morning, and suddenly thought of the inexplicable words of this person last night, and she didn't know for a while. What a complex taste.

"No, I have only been working in a karaoke room for a few days. Before that, I worked part-time in a bakery from 8:12 pm to [-]:[-] pm...I don't really like this part-time job now...but wait for the shop Now that the business here is getting better, I shouldn’t have to work part-time, don’t you think?”

"That's right, the business is good and the money is making a lot of money, so why worry about these?"

"Hmm, that's..."

Along the spacious avenue, two people and one electric car moved forward slowly.Fortunately, the car is relatively small and light, otherwise, if you push up the slope of 30 meters, not to mention Liao Yingjiangbai's thin body, even Hong Ye would have to peel off his skin...

Jiang Bai propped up the car and asked Liao Ying to wait for her outside, then turned around and ran to the convenience store.Liao Ying, who was behind her, looked at her back and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a lot of things to buy, and she didn't know if she had enough money.Didn't her roommate say that they don't have much money left?Thinking of this, she remembered the incident of giving out red envelopes this morning, and she immediately realized that if you don't have cash, don't you still have a card? If you don't have a card, you can also have WeChat and Alipay, right?Where can't I use this now?

So, what do Jiang Bai and her roommates mean? !

If any previous ambiguous incidents and words could not arouse Liao Ying's suspicion, then this time, she would never ignore this matter in a nervous manner.

When Jiang Bai came out of the convenience store with a full bag, he saw Liao Ying frowning in a daze, froze for a moment, walked over to call her,

"Miss Boss, I've bought everything, let's go!"

Liao Ying came back to her senses, looked around at the person in front of her strangely, pursed her lips, and still smiled,

"You don't have to keep calling me Mrs. Boss. People who don't know me think I'm old! You can call me Xiaoying."

"Oh, I see!"

The two were talking, ready to go.Liao Ying raised her hand to take the bag,

"After going down this slope, I will arrive at my residence. Let's get in the car."

This slope is gentler than the one that came up. Instead, Jiang Bai drove in front, and Liao Ying sat in the back seat.The car slid all the way down from the top of the slope. Jiang Bai controlled the brakes, neither fast nor slow. At the bottom of the slope, the person in the back seat patted her on the shoulder: "It's here, it's here, stop!"

Jiang Bai nodded, and the car stopped immediately. When Liao Ying got out of the car, he took out the keys in the bag, walked to the door of an old building with more than ten floors, and turned around to signal her to come over.

In the increasingly dense night, Jiang Bai looked up at the buildings of some ages, started the car, and followed Liao Ying into the gate.The first floor is basically used for parking and stacking sundries. Liao Ying led Jiang Bai to let her drive the little sheep through the dark yellow incandescent light. Because it was full of electric vehicles, motorcycles and bicycles, there was only one left. The narrow passage leads to a place close to the wall on the innermost side, a parking space just enough to stop the little sheep...

After parking the car, Liao Ying pulled out the car key, opened the car seat, took the charger and the car lock and got out.Jiang Bai saw it, took her key and car lock,

"You charge it, I'll lock the car...is it locked with this pipe?" He pointed to a wrist-thick steel pipe lying horizontally on the ground, and saw that other people's cars were locked in the same way , I asked knowingly.

"Ah."

After plugging in the socket, there was a "buzzing" sound immediately, which merged with the surrounding charging sounds, making this dark and dilapidated place cast an indescribable feeling, making it no longer so gloomy...

The corridor is also narrow, and there is only a small distance between two thin people going upstairs side by side.The sound of footsteps stepping on the stairs instantly turned on the voice-activated light at the corner, and the shadows of the two were stretched long and slanted on the not-so-clean wall.

I don't know if it's a sigh or what, Liao Ying walked, and suddenly said,

"I live on the third floor, and there are quite a lot of people here. Usually when I come back at night, whether I go upstairs by myself or happen to be accompanied by other tenants, it makes me nervous and scared..."

The quietly obedient person felt a tug in his heart. He frowned and was about to speak when he felt a strange sensation on his right arm. It was Liao Ying who held her.

Then, with her heart beating faster, she heard the other party whisper softly: "With you here today, I'm not afraid at all!"

"Well……"

speechless.Jiang Bai didn't know how he should answer such a sentence.Just like Liao Ying did last night, I don't know how to answer her words...

The bag full of things in his left hand didn't feel much, and his right arm was gently held by someone, but Jiang Bai felt that it was numb and numb, as if he was about to float up.

It was also when she was about to speak that the destination arrived.Liao Ying let go of her hand and took the key to open the door.At the corner of the small stairs, two people squeezed outside the door, the anti-theft door was opened, and Jiang Bai had to lean aside and dodge to the side.

The door opened, and Liao Ying raised her hand to turn on the hall light. In an instant, the dark space revealed its true colors.

The entrance hall is a one-meter-long passage, a simple three-story shoe rack, and a few pairs of shoes.Liao Ying bent down to untie the high heels on her feet, stepped on a pair of slippers, and fell short all of a sudden, returning to the height of Jiang Bai's nose.

Dazed for a moment, blinking, Jiang Bai consciously opened the bag in his hand, took out a pair of slippers, and proudly said while unpacking,

"I bought a lot of things. I have everything... I also bought something to eat. If I'm hungry, I can eat it for supper, or I can have it for breakfast tomorrow."

She was just thinking about being thoughtful, but she didn't notice that the person who changed the shoes frowned, and said in a complaining tone: "Why do you buy so many things, I don't have them, you just need to buy a toothbrush, A towel and a change of clothes are enough, what a waste to buy these!"

Obviously, for Liao Ying, the proprietress who is careful and careful, Jiang Bai's proud move is completely redundant and too extravagant.

Realizing this, the person who was blamed had a hot face, and he smiled embarrassedly,

"Just this time, I will pay attention in the future!"

As he said that, stepping on new slippers, he passed the master and entered the house in a desperate manner.

One bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, one bathroom, and a small balcony, about 30 square meters, more than enough for one person.

Of course, if you ignore the old furniture, yellowed walls, rusty anti-theft nets, scratched floor tiles, kitchen cupboards with thick traces of oily smoke, as well as the entire building and its surrounding environment... it can be called It could be called a bachelor apartment.

The TV is from the 90s, it looks 21 inches, and it is a big block, occupying a stool and part of the space.In addition, there are two wooden chairs in the small living room, a small wooden sofa against the wall, no coffee table, and nothing else.

On one side of the living room is the bathroom, and next to it is a small balcony where a few clothes are dried.On the other side of the living room is the kitchenette, connected to the room.

The door of the room was closed, only the old wooden door was seen, Jiang Bai withdrew his gaze, put the bag on the sofa, and asked,

"Xiaoying, how much is your monthly rent here?"

"1000, plus utility bills."

Jiang Bai nodded, and asked again: "Are you checking in with a bag? Are all the furniture and appliances complete?"

"No, there is no air conditioner, no washing machine, and no Internet."

"Well, then the 1000 is still not worth it."

Liao Ying shrugged again, and smiled helplessly: "This is already the cheapest one-bedroom apartment I've found. After all, it's really hard to find a house in the city."

Jiang Bai nodded and shook his head when he heard it. He didn't know what it was like in his heart. He was so sour that he reluctantly replied at the end,

"You're under a lot of pressure."

The other party didn't want to continue this topic, looked at the phone, and said, "It's late, I'm going to turn on the water heater, you can wash it first, and I'll clean up later, I have something to do tomorrow morning."

Jiang Bai scratched his face, "Mmm", and stopped asking other questions, turned around and sat on the sofa, opened the bag and began to dig out things...

I went shopping for a whole day today, and my body has long been uncomfortable. I just want to take a hot bath and change clothes...

Not long after, Jiang Bai came out of the bathroom with a towel on his head, and Liao Ying was not in the living room at this time. He looked at the kitchen and balcony, but there was no one there.Then she didn't think much about it, and turned her head to look in the direction of the bedroom.

The light in the bedroom was not turned on, and the light from the living room shone in. The petite and exquisite figure easily caught her sight.Liao Ying's coiled hair has been put down, and her back is facing the door. She seems to be holding something in her hand. Jiang Bai sees it vaguely through the light, and doesn't think too much.

However, the scene after that made her unable to think too much...

Liao Ying put the things in her hands on the bed, and without realizing that there was someone outside the door behind her, she crossed her hands and lifted them up. The short sleeves on her body fell off at once, revealing her snow-white back, which was held by a pink bra strap. She has a piece of skin, and the long hair hanging down covers her slender neck...

Before Jiang Bai had time to react, he saw the person inside, bent down and took off the short hot pants that only reached his thighs, leaving only a set of underwear on his body...

Jiang Bai's brain became hot, his heart beat violently, his eyes straightened, and the movement of wiping his hair stopped, he was at a loss for a while, and took a deep breath...

The sound disturbed the person who was undressing in the room, and she turned around suddenly in shock, hurriedly grabbed the clothes she had just thrown away, and stood in front of her.

It's just that when she turned around, some parts in the shadow that were originally unclear and invisible were instantly exposed.The white and delicate skin, the roundness covered under the pink underwear, can barely reveal a small half of the whiteness, the whole body, except the key parts, all face the pupils of someone outside the door.

And someone who was facing such a glamorous picture, his whole face flushed red, he took a deep breath, and then, his nostrils itched...
