under one roof

eleven

After returning home, it was almost dawn, Yu Chen had long been used to this reversal of day and night due to the nature of his work, he lay on the bed for a while and then got up to start work, before that, he had to prepare his own breakfast.

He didn't know if Yang Jian needed to sleep and eat. Seeing that Yang Jian was awake, he prepared it for him. He sat at the dining table by himself, watching the morning news while putting food into his mouth.

"Why are you watching so seriously?" Yang Jian ate the poached egg Yu Chen cooked for him, seeing Yu Chen keeping his head on his head and looking down at the tablet, the sound of hula la on the TV didn't seem to bother him at all.

"You think things are more complicated than you imagined, and I think so too." He threw the tablet in front of Yang Jian, and the news on it read "A female employee of an Internet company committed suicide by jumping off a building, which led to all kinds of family conflicts behind it." The title of the article dissects Li Zhaodi's life and family background. It sounds like a tragic story about female parents oppressing their daughters. This story has been circulating since the news of Li Zhaodi's death broke out. Netizens have added fuel to this story, An insider broke the news that her parents were entangled in the company's loss of money, and the two sides were in a dispute, and finally the bloody article appeared on the mainstream media. I am afraid that her living parents and younger brother must be nailed to the sinner's board to vent their anger.

"Really, or is it fake?" Yang Jian didn't comment after reading it, "I don't understand all kinds of emotions in the world."

"I... I don't know." Yu Chen shook his head, "But as far as I guess, the story may be almost the same... She complained to me about her younger brother, who was born in such a family, most likely... ...Maybe what is said on the Internet is true?"

Yang Jian said: "If you can find her soul, you can ask her clearly."

"Hey." Yu Chen sighed, "I don't know the truth, so I don't want to speculate anymore. She has a memorial service tomorrow, can I go to see her off? Let's get to know each other anyway, she is still so young, she should have a wonderful life of the future, what a pity..."

He so sincerely asked for Yang Jian's opinion, Yang Jian pondered for a moment and said, "How many people are there?"

"I don't know, it's such a big mess, there should be some people."

"Then I'll go with you." Yang Jian said, "I'm afraid it's not safe if there are too many people."

Yu Chen knew that Yang Jian only said this out of duty, but he still felt warm in his heart when he heard it.He walks alone, although he can settle down in this world and have some friendship with others, but there are very few people who can say a word of concern to each other.He has classmates and colleagues, bosses and subordinates, but the column of "friends" is empty.

"What are you thinking?" Yang Jian tapped Yu Chen's head.

"Ah? No, it's nothing." Yu Chen's eyes fell on the TV casually. There was an ancient costume TV series on the TV. He watched it for a while, and then jokingly said to Yang Jian, "You are like those little fairies in fairy tales who can't go back to the sky. .”

Yang Jian also glanced at the TV. Unexpectedly, he didn't scold Yu Chen. Instead, he sneered and said, "Such a story can be sung in the world for thousands of years? Look at the news you showed me just now, and then read this. It's hard to find that there are always people who like to impose their subjective views on others, and don't ask others if they mean it in their hearts."

"Uh... Aren't Cowherd and Weaver Girl true love?" Yu Chen asked, "Don't they meet each other on the Qiqiao every Qixi Festival?"

"If someone steals your clothes while you are in the shower and doesn't call you home, and pretends to meet you by accident, you are innocent, and after a few chats, you will be kidnapped home and become your wife and give birth My child, your natal family came to look for you and were blocked in every possible way... If you say this is true love, then it's only because you have no idea." Yang Jian snorted, "This is the story of the world, and I always like to speculate about gods. They hope that the unkind gods have the same cowardly weaknesses as them. It's just that they never know that if there are emotions and desires, how can gods be called gods?"

When he said this, Yu Chen stopped talking.Yu Chen wanted to ask one more question, does Zhinu love Cowherd?But when he saw what Yang Jian meant, he probably had the answer in his heart.The story is like this, when you believe it when you are young, you will become a **** when you grow up.Yang Jian mocked, Yu Chen pinched the little flame in his heart, he thought it was good, he didn't care about the chaos of the Three Realms, it was too far away from him, so what if Yang Jian was left behind?He has never spent such a long time with someone day and night, and he can still feel reluctant to part from such a relationship.

In the final analysis, I was alone for too long, and I was used to being lonely.

Yu Chen got up with the tablet in his arms and went back to the bedroom, saying that he was about to start work, and ended the morning chat.Yang Jian didn't go out today, he really has nothing to do right now, all the clues are stuck in the data copied back by Yu Chen, if he can analyze it, maybe he can provide some help.Yu Chen was serious about his work, and Yang Jian didn't bother him. The two were under the same roof, and it seemed that neither of them was aware of the other's existence.Yu Chen didn't go out in the morning, and couldn't write a word until the afternoon. He fumbled all over his body, and couldn't find a cigarette after fumbling for a long time.He walked out of the room and shouted to Yang Jian, "Can I go to the convenience store downstairs to buy something?"

Yang Jian nodded.

Yu Chen put on his shoes and walked outside.The downstairs house didn't open the door, so he had to wander outside the community. It was gloomy outside, with a small wind, and the leaves on the trees were rolled down to accompany his steps. The weather was indeed cold.

He took a pack of cigarettes in the convenience store, and when he checked out, he rummaged through his pockets only to find that he was short of a dollar, which was very embarrassing.The cashier girl took the code scanning gun and collected money from Yu Chen and the others. Yu Chen fumbled anxiously for a long time, wondering if he should buy it, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a coin appeared on the table.Yu Chen raised his head and saw a thin man in front of him.

The man smiled at him, Yu Chen understood and thanked him quickly.A penny stumps a hero, and this kind-hearted man really helped him out.

Yu Chen grabbed the cigarette case and went out. He didn't know what happened. It was raining heavily in the gloomy weather just now. He didn't even have time to rush out, and he was trapped under the eaves.

He thought for a while, although it was only one street, but he must be drenched after going back like this, why don't he take a taxi?But all the taxis passing by in such a short while were full of passengers.Back to the convenience store to buy an umbrella?But he was penniless.

Yu Chen felt that he was very unlucky.

Some of the passers-by who were sheltering from the rain were calling to complain about the bad weather, and some people waited for a while before waiting for someone to pick them up.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Yu Chen had no choice but to wait alone for the rain to stop.

A person.

He regretted that he didn't bring his mobile phone when he came out in a hurry. Then he thought, what's the use of bringing a mobile phone?He didn't have anyone to call for help, the nearest one was Yang Jian, who would probably scold him a few words.

The rain didn't mean to get smaller, but it was getting bigger and bigger, and the water splashed by the raindrops falling from the eaves could splash on him.

"Don't you have an umbrella?"

Yu Chen turned his head, it was the man who lent him the money just now was asking him, he froze for a moment, then nodded dully.

The man asked again: "Then where is your home?"

The person in front of him is gentle, harmless to humans and animals, Yu Chen pointed forward and said, "Ahead, just walk one street away."

The man opened the black straight umbrella in his hand and took a step forward into the rain, turned his head and smiled and said to Yu Chen: "I happened to be on the way, if you don't mind, we can go together."

In this rain-washed day without distinction between heaven and earth, Yu Chen suddenly felt the kindness from strangers, and felt that he was not really unlucky.

The man sent Yu Chen to the door of his house, Yu Chen asked him his contact information, and wanted to invite him to dinner as a thank you, the man smiled and shook his head, saying that we will meet again if we are destined.

Yang Jian was in the living room, seeing Yu Chen came back by himself, just about to say that he planned to go out to find him, seeing Yu Chen's brisk footsteps, obviously in a different state from when he went out, such a sudden heavy rain did not affect him His mood is very strange.

"What do you see me doing?" Yu Chen noticed Yang Jian's probing eyes.

"It's nothing." Yang Jian didn't want to ask, "Don't smoke in the room."

This can be regarded as giving Yu Chen a little tolerance. He was easily satisfied, so he went to the balcony with his notebook in his arms, holding a cigarette in one hand, and knocking with the other hand, or meditating for a while facing the screen full of codes, and finally seemed to be With an idea, he pinched his cigarette butt and started writing with all his heart.

The autumn rain washes the glass of the balcony over and over again, the scenery outside becomes blurred, everything is out of focus, and there is a muffled sound when the raindrops fall on the glass, but it seems that this small world is more peaceful .

Yu Chen stared at the screen alone in this lonely evening, but the things in front of him distracted his attention, maybe the episode of Lu Yu just now also played a role in it, making him feel less lonely and cold.

After pressing Enter, the program automatically loads the file. Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered his head and lit a cigarette. The scarlet flame illuminated his face.

A wisp of green smoke floated up, Yu Chen sucked his nose habitually, none of the jumping codes in front of his eyes could enter his brain, he was just used to this, habit is an inseparable burden.

He maintained such a posture until the night and did not eat dinner.The balcony door was opened, Yu Chen knew who it was without looking, he pinched the last cigarette out of the cigarette case, and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Yang Jian waved the lingering smoke and said, "I don't need to sleep." He walked in lightly, took a stall in his hand, and threw it to Yu Chen seemingly casually, then sat beside him, and asked again: "why do not you sleep?"

Yu Chen pointed to the time: "It's still early for me, and I usually work overtime." Just as he was about to put the blanket on his body, he wrinkled his nose and sniffed it, and said, "Is this blanket from Xiaotian's bed?" Pass?"

"Xiao Tian?"

"Your dog." Yu Chen explained, "The dog must have a cute name, it is already ugly, if the name is not cute, then there is really no way out."

Yang Jian said, "Your name is not cute either."

Yu Chen refused: "I'm not a dog!"

"Then he is not a dog." Yang Jian said, "He is my helper."

Yu Chen scratched his hair vigorously, and let the dog lead first.But Yang Jian reached out and pressed Yu Chen's head, and said, "Go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow, aren't you going to attend the memorial service? Let me see..."

"how?"

Yang Jian smiled: "There is still a lot of trouble."
