From the abyss

Wannian stays at home, and Ye Yibei, who doesn't take half a step out of the door, can't get out because she wants to eat egg pancakes from a time-honored shop on the corner of Yu Xing Street. That shop is run by an old couple. The taste of this restaurant is very authentic. Since Ye Yibei moved here, he ate the pancakes from that restaurant once, and he never forgets it.

Their shop is very small, and they don't employ any staff. The old couple just sit at the door to enjoy the shade, and when the customers come, they toss and turn, and they don't provide any door-to-door service at all.

If you want to eat that cake, you can only buy it in front of the store with your own legs.

Yu Xing Street is a well-known bustling street in this city. There are all kinds of hypermarkets, snack bars, steak shops, and even two or three movie theaters.

Ye Yibei walked halfway, and suddenly wanted to go to the bathroom, so he borrowed the movie theater's bathroom by the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he picked up an old friend.

This is not an ordinary old friend, but an old friend who has a deep friendship for nearly three years.

Ever since the incident happened, Ye Yibei's memory has always been chaotic. To be honest, her rationality made her want to stay away from that person, but emotionally she couldn't help but come back from the outside to look at that person. Case.

I don't know if I don't see it, but when I saw that person, he was crying like a lost child while walking on the street, his face turned into a tabby cat and he didn't care. The instigator felt a little guilty, distressed and helpless.

She couldn't leave this man alone.

What happened next became more and more strange. When the man saw her coming, he immediately fell silent.In less than 5 minutes, she ushered in a confession that seemed logical but also very weird.

The point is that she didn't feel disgusted herself.

It had nothing to do with her reason, she just couldn't help being attracted to that man named Lin He... After such a back and forth, this old friend picked up on the road turned into a three-year-old child, as naive as he wanted.

After a while, she wants to hug her and turn her head to kiss her. If it wasn't for this person who is a head taller than herself, Ye Yibei would really suspect that she went out to pick up a child and came back.

At this moment, Ye Yibei was holding the bag of cakes in his left hand and the key in his right hand.But she didn't open the door immediately, she kept looking back.

"You really want to follow me to my house?" She looked puzzled.

I didn't expect that people could really follow here all the way with the cheek.

As soon as she heard that Ye Yibei wanted to chase someone away, Lin He wiped her eyes quickly, her eye sockets were still red and wet, coupled with the deliberate begging eyes, she looked very pitiful.

"..."

After a silent confrontation for a while, Ye Yibei surrendered.

Although she knew it was all acting.

After changing hands, the door opened with a click, Ye Yibei opened the door with one hand, revealing the dark room behind, and retreated behind the door, with a helpless expression on his face, "Come in."

Ye Yibei's house is in an old-fashioned community, the property is basically a decoration, the trash cans downstairs are full of rubbish, in the distance there are old ladies and husbands lying on rocking chairs basking in the sun, and there are a few children playing with them underneath Dogs play.There was no elevator in her building, and the floors were not high. The only modern anti-theft facility was the old anti-theft door downstairs.

The door was rusted, and it was covered with small advertisements for unlocking certificates. The buttons with the house numbers were so mottled that the numbers on them could not be seen. Can it be used for conversation.

It was still daytime outside, but Ye Yibei's room was very dark, as if the doors and windows were tightly shut.It was quiet inside, without a single sound, as soon as you entered it, it was like entering a haunted house, gloomy and chilly.

As soon as Lin He entered, he almost tripped over a cardboard box.

The living room here is quite large, but there is very little space for people to walk around. It is full of large and small cardboard boxes, and there is a huge LCD screen in the corner, covered with a thin layer of dust. How long has it been unused.

"The living room is messy, so watch out and don't get tripped."

Ye Yibei followed in from behind, closed the door with a click, turned on the light, squatted down and opened the shoe cabinet, opened a plastic package, and took out a pair of brand new slippers, "Wear these Bar."

Ye Yibei pointed to the pair of pink slippers.He walked aside and put on a pair of light gray slippers.

"You live by yourself?"

Lin He stood in the middle of the living room, looked around, and saw the layout of the house clearly.One bedroom, one living room, a kitchen and bathroom.

Ye Yibei responded, took a glass from the cup holder, opened the refrigerator, poured a glass of milk for Lin He, and handed it to her, "Nobody comes to my house usually, so I don't prepare anything delicious."

The milk was very cold, and it was so cold that it was steaming white.Lin He frowned, and was about to take it, but before his fingers touched the wall of the glass, he snatched the glass of milk back from her hand with the other hand.

Ye Yibei looked a little lost, she held the cup, lightly like a ghost, floated to the front of the microwave, put the milk in it, and naturally turned on the counting switch.

"Wait..." Lin He was startled, and immediately rushed up to rescue the milk from the microwave.

"If you put it in like this, it will explode." She sighed, and touched the head of Ye Yibei who was stunned to the side.

Ye Yibei watched in a daze as Lin He entered the kitchen, brushed the pot skillfully, poured water, put a baffle with a hole in it, put the milk on the baffle, covered the pot, and lit the fire.A series of actions were done in one go, and it was obviously not the first time he had done these things.

However, Lin He lit the fire a few times, but only a few sparks rose from the stove, but no fire could be started.There was a faint smell of gas in the air, Lin He sniffled and frowned, "What gas do you use?"

She nodded.

"Where's the gas tank?"

Ye Yibei pointed to the cabinet below.Lin He squatted down, and when she opened the cabinet, the smell of gas almost knocked her out.

She squeezed her nose, rushed to the kitchen window, pulled the window suddenly, fresh air poured into her nostrils, and she took a deep breath, as if she had gained a new life.

"Beibei." Lin He pulled the man who was still standing still to the window, and sighed, "Your gas has leaked out."

Also living alone, Lin He thought his life was rough enough, but Ye Yibei lived a more careless life than her, and didn't even know that the gas had run away.Fortunately, she came early, she was really worried that if she came a few days later, Ye Yibei would be smoked to death quietly in the room alone.

Lin He naturally pulled the man into his arms, hugged him from behind, and could smell the fragrance of the other's hair when he lowered his head.

She could feel Ye Yibei in her arms stiffen, but obediently did not struggle.

"I don't know..." Ye Yibei muttered softly, with a little grievance.

"It's all leaked. It must not be a day or two. Didn't you cook by yourself?"

She hardly cooks, and basically buys instant food in the supermarket, thaws it in the microwave and eats it, or at most she orders a takeaway.

Ye Yibei looked at the remains of the plastic packaging in the trash bin with a guilty conscience, bit his lip, and said nothing.

In fact, the sharp-eyed Lin He had already seen the contents of the trash can.She didn't intend to press people, so she just blew the wind quietly for a while, and waited for the gas to dissipate before dragging people into the room.

The cardboard boxes in the living room are full of books, clothes and the like, most of which have not been opened.It was as if Ye Yibei had left them here before he moved here.

Afterwards, the two chatted a few words, Lin He knew that Ye Yibei opened a small online shop, there would be one or two orders a day, and he would write some manuscripts at ordinary times. able to live.

If it was in the past, Lin He would never have imagined that Ye Yibei would become so introverted and stay at home when he grew up.Although Ye Yibei in the past was not a maniac character, he was definitely not someone who was willing to settle down in a small house.As for the reason, Ye Yibei didn't want to mention it, and Lin He didn't try to force her to say it.

They invariably ignore the most important issues about the past.

Sitting at Ye Yibei's house for a while, Lin He ordered takeaway for the two of them, and when she finished eating, she went out with a garbage bag.

"You can find me if you need anything."

Standing at the door, Lin He waved his phone at Ye Yibei, her new number was stored on it.Ye Yibei didn't speak, he opened the door and stared at her for a while.Lin He smiled helplessly in her heart, turned around and went downstairs, and when she got to the middle of the stairs, she heard Ye Yibei say "goodbye", but before she had time to turn around, the door closed with a bang, facing After closing the door tightly, Lin He smiled wryly twice, and walked down the stairs slowly.

After returning home, Lin He also tried to contact Ye Yibei.But no matter what she said, Ye Yibei was always interested, and it took several hours to reply, and the reply was only a few words, breaking the topic by himself, embarrassing Lin He.

The work of the publishing house would suddenly become busy before the deadline, and Lin He couldn't care about Ye Yibei's side.The writers she was in charge of were like ancestors, and they refused to hand in their manuscripts when the deadline was approaching. Her side was urging and dealing with their superiors, which made her very anxious.

She made dozens of phone calls a day to urge manuscripts, and the writer simply lost his temper and refused to answer the phone.Lin He was so angry that he dragged his work bag and ran directly to the door of his house and dragged him out, so that the other party could obediently hand in the manuscript.

After struggling for two weeks, she finally survived the hellish deadline.

Lying on the bed half a month away, Lin He's body was as soft as cotton. She felt so tired that she almost kicked her legs, and passed away peacefully.

The time is now two o'clock in the middle of the night.These days, she often stays up late.She was finally able to sleep well today.

She turned over and adjusted to a comfortable position. She didn't have time to cover her with the quilt, her eyelids were heavy, and she was about to fall asleep almost immediately, when she heard the phone ring in a daze.

She didn't want to pay attention to it, but the phone was annoyingly ringing. She was a little annoyed, she closed her eyes and fumbled around, finally found the phone, and picked it up without seeing the caller.

"Hey, who is it?"

If it's not an important matter, she will definitely kill the person who disturbed her sleep.

A sobbing voice came from the other end of the phone, a familiar voice, stained with tears, rang from the other end of the phone, "Xiaohe..."

The author has something to say:

In order to save the manuscripts, the style of writing is different from the previous ones, especially... bold and unrestrained...
