32. The descent was naturally much smoother, and we soon arrived at the gate at the foot of the mountain when we set off.

There are some small stalls at the gate, selling some snacks and soup noodles, but there is no serious food.

Lin Suqing asked Zhou Ruxin for her opinion, thinking that the bus station was right outside the door, so she would not go to other places to eat, so the two found a small vendor near the station, and each ordered a noodle soup, after thinking about it, Lin Suqing added another portion of radish and beef offal.

At this moment, there were only the two of them customers in the store, so two portions of soup powder and one portion of beef offal came out quickly. Lin Suqing took two pairs of disposable chopsticks and washed them with cold boiled water, then handed a pair to Zhou Ruxin. After the next trip, both of them were a little tired and hungry, so after Zhou Ruxin took the chopsticks and said thank you, the two of them stopped talking and started to bury their heads in eating.

On the other hand, the proprietress next to her smiled: "Are you two sisters? Look at this, the relationship is really good."

Zhou Ruxin is not very good at talking to strangers, so she just smiled "hmm" when she heard this, but Lin Suqing said with a smile while eating: "It's not sisters, but the relationship is very good."

Maybe there were no customers, but the proprietress also sat down leisurely and watched them eat: "I just came down from the mountain and I'm hungry. Is one serving of offal enough? Do you want to add an extra serving? One serving per person."

Lin Suqing asked Ruxin next week with her eyes: "Do you want a copy too?"

Zhou Ruxin shook her head: "I'll take a few pieces with you, and I'll have dinner when I get back."

At this time, guests came in one after another, and the proprietress was busy.

After the two finished their respective noodle soups, Lin Suqing chose from the beef miscellaneous bowl and chose a large piece of beef brisket. She originally wanted to put it in Zhou Ruxin's bowl, but Zhou Ruxin would habitually put it in Zhou Ruxin's bowl after eating. The disposable bowl was thrown into the trash can next to it. Looking at the beef brisket on Lin Suqing's chopsticks, she couldn't help laughing at herself. She was about to ask the proprietress for another disposable bowl, but Lin Suqing smiled and gave the beef brisket on the chopsticks directly. When it came to the mouth: "Open your mouth."

Before Zhou Ruxin had time to think about anything, she obediently opened her mouth and bit the big beef brisket. When she started to chew the beef brisket, she saw Lin Suqing pick up a piece of beef brisket and eat it unhurriedly, while looking at Looking at her: "Ru Xin is so sweet."

Zhou Ruxin recalled a story she had heard at some time. It said that in the university cafeteria, many young couples showed their affection when they ate together, and even fed each other. But later, the relevant leaders couldn't see it, so they asked people to sit in the cafeteria. There was a big-character poster posted in the school saying, "You are not allowed to feed each other in the cafeteria", which was laughed at by the college students for a while.

Well, I have never been fed in my college days. I didn’t expect to be fed by Suqing in such a beautiful scenery after so many years. I don’t know what others think?Think about it, it's just the intimacy between good friends.

However, Lin Suqing didn't make any other moves afterwards, but after eating more than half of it in a regular manner, Zhou Ruxin ate the rest with her own chopsticks. Hours, so decided to return by car.

Zhou Ruxin is a person who falls asleep when she is full, Lin Suqing still found two seats, let her sit by the window, and directly put them on her shoulders and told her to go to sleep: "I will call you when I stand. "

After going up and down the mountain, and after eating a full meal, Zhou Ruxin was really sleepy, so Zhou Ruxin didn't make much fuss, and An Anxin leaned on Lin Suqing's shoulder and dozed off.

In the afternoon, the train went smoothly, and I arrived at the subway station in less than half an hour. Lin Suqing woke up Zhou Ruxin softly and prepared to get off the bus. Zhou Ruxin rubbed her eyes, and when she was about to stretch, she accidentally hit Lin Suqing. Looking at Suqing, sleeping so comfortably, I'm afraid Suqing has maintained the same posture all the way, this person, how can he be so considerate!

After getting on the subway station, Zhou Ruxin remembered to ask which station Suqing got off at. Lin Suqing thought about it: "Does Ruxin have any other arrangements today?"

Zhou Ruxin replied: "No, today I'm climbing a mountain with you."

"Well, I happen to have no other arrangements, why don't we go to your place and have dinner together."

Zhou Ruxin was naturally happy when she heard this: "Okay. But, does Su Qing really have nothing else to do today?"

Maybe it was because of the last time when He Jieying was called to work overtime in the middle of a break, Lin Suqing smiled: "I really don't have anything else to do today, and I haven't received any urgent tasks in the past two days. The one who called me to work overtime."

"That's good." So the two returned to Zhou Ruxin's residence by subway all the way with peace of mind.

When going upstairs, Zhou Ruxin found that the door from the second floor of the landlord's house to the third floor where she lived was open. She was a little puzzled. When the two went up to have a look, they found that the host of the landlord was pouring water on the roof and saw Zhou Ruxin coming back. , greeted loudly: "Mr. Zhou is back, the weather is hot, I think you can't sleep well at night, it should be cooler with some water."

Zhou Ruxin also thanked her loudly. The landlord must have been drenched in water for a while. Seeing them entering the house, she stopped drenching and went downstairs.

When the landlord left and the two were resting on the bed leisurely, Lin Suqing asked, "Ru Xin rents this house without an air conditioner?"

Zhou Ruxin smiled: "This place was originally built illegally, and the landlord built it temporarily, so there is no air conditioner installed. I was interested in this place because it is close to the school, and secondly, it is cheap. Look, a house with a kitchen and a bathroom. It’s only 300 yuan a month. But water and electricity bills have to be paid separately.”

Lin Suqing thought for a while: "In this location, 300 yuan a month is indeed very cheap. There must be other conditions attached, right?"

Zhou Ruxin naturally wouldn't hide anything from her: "The landlady saw that I was a teacher, so she asked me to help her children with math when I was free on weekends."

"Well, it's a little effort, and it's not a demanding requirement. Then, Ru Xin, how much is your monthly utility bill?"

Zhou Ruxin thought for a while: "I really haven't calculated the specific monthly amount. In my impression, it's about 200 yuan a month. There will be more in summer like this. Sometimes it seems to be nearly [-] yuan."

When Lin Suqing heard this, she couldn't help pointing her finger at her shoulder and scolding with a smile: "Ru Xin, you are really a nerd. No wonder the ancients said, 'A gentleman can deceive others'. You live alone, so you just turn on the lights in the morning and evening, and play on weekends." Playing computer games, not even having an air conditioner, how can there be so much electricity bills in a month, it's silly, obviously the landlord's utility bills are all paid by you, okay?"

Zhou Ruxin was stunned: "Ah? Su Qing, how do you know? I also think it's a bit expensive, but because I didn't pay the rent before, and I paid for it myself starting this year, so I didn't suspect anything in particular."

Lin Suqing looked at her and couldn't laugh or cry: "The ancients said that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, but now there is water and electricity as far away as Xinyuan. Do you know the water and electricity charges in Huacheng City? In your situation, the water and electricity bill will not exceed 50 yuan a month. .”

Zhou Ruxin heard: "Well, it seems that I really helped the landlord's family pay the utility bills."

Lin Suqing thought for a while and asked, "Is Ruxin happy living here?"

Zhou Ruxin replied: "It was okay at first, after all, it is close to the school, but the landlord's child is really not a student, every time I go to tutor him, I am so angry that I want to move immediately."

Lin Suqing thought about it for a while: "Actually, if you calculate the rent plus water and electricity, and then look at the one-on-one tutoring fees of those tutoring institutions outside, the rent of Ruxin is not cheap at all. What I personally don't appreciate is the clear I have to pretend to be doing you a favor after taking advantage of you, what does Ru Xin think?"

Zhou Ruxin thought about it: "How should I put it, in fact, it would be acceptable if they charged more rent clearly. After all, I still have some idea of ​​the rent in this area, but on the one hand, they said they would give me a cheaper price, and on the other hand, they secretly asked me to pay more. Paying the fee really makes me unhappy, in fact, I have long wanted to move to another place, but I have been busy all the time, and I haven't looked at the house seriously, thinking about looking for another place to live after the summer vacation."

Lin Suqing hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Ru Xin, do you want to live with me?
