Chapter 6 The Key

06 keys

He was stunned for a moment.I looked at it and felt a little upset. Am I usually so stingy?It's amazing how much you can get with a salary increase...

He stood looking at me for a while, then came back again with a sigh.In summer, the air conditioner is turned on in the house, and the quilt is thin, so it is easier to get cold in the middle of the night.He came over and wrapped the quilt tightly around my stomach.Hey, this kind of good man is about to become extinct, and it's because I have no good fortune that I didn't meet him earlier.

My heart tightened, thinking about these useless things...

The mind was awake for a moment, but was overwhelmed by heavy sleepiness.I tried my best to look at him with my eyes open, and tried to put on an obedient look, because I was afraid that he would have to think longer the next time he gave me a drink.

Although I was a little drunk, I actually have business to do tomorrow.I stretched out a hand and pulled his fingers, and said, "Call me up at nine o'clock tomorrow, I'm going to discuss something about the bookstore."

He nodded, turned around and left, and said when closing the door, "Sleep well."

I fell asleep.

But I slept for a long time today, so I got up at [-]:[-] the next morning.

I lay back on the bed, suddenly thought of something, quickly took out my phone, and found a number I hadn't dialed for a long time.

I called Lu Chang, and he woke up to drink porridge.

Because in my impression, his housework is very bad, and the use of electrical appliances is even worse. When I suddenly think of it, I am really afraid that something will happen.

Unexpectedly, when the call passed, he was already awake.

I heard him say "delicious" vaguely on the phone, I hesitated for a while, but still didn't ask about last night.

It's that I don't want to mention someone.

It's funny to say, I've already decided to avoid him, but I didn't want to avoid Lu Chang. Although I don't like him, it's just a certain aspect. Now there is no obstacle. Instead, I think it's good to be an ordinary friend and contact him occasionally.

Anyway, I no longer plan to live in Mayor C.

Instead, he asked me, "Brother Shen, did anyone come here yesterday?"

My nerves tensed up, "Yes." After a pause, I pretended not to know, "Hey, has he already left?"

"Huh?" He ate another spoonful of porridge and said vaguely, "Let's go, I didn't see anyone when I got up... I just saw something and thought it wasn't yours. So I wondered if someone else came. "

When it came to what he said, I actually had nothing to hide, but I still tried my best to change the subject and pretend I didn't know.

Heart stabbed.I don't care.

I snorted, knowing it was clumsy, but that was fine as long as he heard that I didn't want to talk about it.It's also because he has a thin skin, and he still can't learn how to chase after him. He followed my words and said, "Brother Shen, don't make fun of me."

I breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed slightly in my heart.

Then I chatted about a few topics casually.I know that he is doing well in general, as the most ordinary friend, it is enough.So he turned a corner and asked me why I went back to City C, how long I was going to stay, etc., and I perfunctorily passed it all without mentioning a word.

Because I just remembered that he could use the VIP card in my store to make trouble, and Qi Ji showed up at his house by such a coincidence last night, and talked a lot... I wouldn't have noticed this coincidence, but this Qi Ji appeared in the incident, and my mind began to make a few more detours habitually.

This turn around, I feel a little hungry.

I slumped on the bed with my mobile phone in my hand, dealt with it casually, and listened to his clumsy inquiries with a good temper, a little bit lacking in interest.

Later, the stomach saved me, it was singing a little song.I yawned and walked into the kitchen, and said lazily, "Xiao Chang, you've already had your porridge, and I haven't had breakfast yet."

He immediately stopped talking, a little embarrassed, "That's it, then, Brother Shen hurry up and eat." After a pause, "Brother Shen, if you have time in the future, just call me and let's meet, it's been a long time Gone."

The movement of my hands stopped for a moment.

"Let's talk." I hung up the phone.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Uh?

Before I felt sad, I heard a knock on the door, so I thought it was impossible. Could it be that Lu Chang said that we would meet at the door?I was a little speechless, and wanted to look into the cat's eyes, but the knocking on the door stopped, and there was a sound of opening the door.It was only at this time that my mind turned around. The most likely person who has the key to my house is Jing Xuan.

"...Ah Xuan." It was really him.

Jing Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect me to be standing at the door.He must have thought that the reason no one opened the door was because I didn't get up.But he immediately put on a straight face again, he just can't be gentle, how could he catch up with someone.

He frowned, "Go in and get dressed quickly."

In fact, it’s not cold at all. It’s still July, but because I’m afraid of the heat, the temperature in the room is low. I’ve just woken up, and I’m only wearing a cotton T-shirt.

I gave a habitual "hmm", but leaned over to see what he was holding in his hand.He also knew my temperament, so he opened the bag himself, and then closed the door.

"I just went to the vegetable market and bought breakfast." He said as he put the things on the dining table and took out the breakfast.

I suddenly lost interest.I went to places like the vegetable market every day when I was a child, and I often went there when I grew up. I can quote prices just by looking at the vegetables.As for breakfast, uh, it's red bean porridge, which I don't like.

Normally, I would immediately run back to the bedroom and go back to sleep.But now I still have a gentle smile on my face, sitting at the dining table, watching him busy in front of the refrigerator.He was busy packing the refrigerator, as if he deliberately didn't have time to talk to me.

After waiting for a long time, I had no choice but to speak first, "Ah Xuan, I remember I said yesterday that I asked you to call to wake me up."

He paused for a moment, took out his mobile phone and actually called me on the spot, and the mobile phone rang intermittently in the bedroom.

After it rang for a while, he hung up the phone, his expressionless face looked a little innocent, he looked at me and said, "You didn't wait for my call, you got up by yourself."

After speaking, he turned his head and started tossing the refrigerator.

I was dumbfounded by his smooth movements.When I realized it, I frowned, hey, this kid actually learned how to sue the wicked first.

Fortunately, it was probably the first time for him to do this, and his movements with his back to me were concealedly stiff.I squinted my eyes and looked at his back, seeing his movements getting slower and slower.

I said, "Jing Xuan."

He paused for a moment, then turned around and stood in front of the dining table, but remained silent.I am familiar with this scene, because he is actually still young, and young people are like this. When they are firm, they always seem to have a desperate courage.

I don't want him like this either.

Probably because of my personality, thinking that someone can come into my house at any time, no matter how familiar I am, I can't let it go like this.

But also for some other reasons.I can't let him get too close to me.

I looked into his eyes and said in a rare and serious tone, "Jing Xuan, although you rented this house before, since you decided to give it back to me, I have also signed a relevant agreement with the landlord. Now, I have the right to use this room, this is my private space. I don't want anyone to enter my room casually."

Hearing this, he looked up at me.

He didn't speak, probably trying to tell if I was really angry.

But there is no need to "distinguish", he quickly lowered his head, "I'm sorry."

I was taken aback for a moment, and after a while I said to him, "...I accept your apology." But it didn't matter.

The atmosphere is deadlocked.

In fact, now is the best time in the morning, the light in the room is just right, he is standing under the soft light, and there is a pile of freshly bought vegetables on the table.I've seen it before and these are our favorites.One of his hands rested on the back of the chair. He was taller than me, and the light from above softened his sharp-edged face.The eyelashes are long and heartbreaking.

I always thought he was dull, that he was too quiet, but he didn't take bullying.Because of his personality, he was born with the ability to make people regress.

He looked into my eyes, "Leave a key with me, can't you?"

He said seriously: "I apologized, and it won't be like this next time."

Although he said it so sincerely, he still spread his palms in front of me. It was a very ordinary key, a single key, and the only thing that was special was that it was tied with an ordinary four-leaf clover pendant.

I thought for a long time before I remembered that it was a pendant I gave him casually.

I looked at the pendant, froze for a moment, then raised my head and said, "No."

There was a moment of disappointment on his face.The open hand was clenched, and then loosened, with a look of reluctance, but slowly put the key in my hand.He never knew how to beg a man, and I have turned him down in such a way that he could not utter another word.

I lowered my face, not daring to look at his expression.

I think he was trying to ask me why, but he ended up saying nothing.

He just told me to go back to my room and get dressed.Then I was asked to come out to eat red bean porridge.

But when things got to this point, those things that were hidden in his heart, or things that I deliberately ignored, were already obvious.

I walked to the door, and he suddenly asked me behind my back, "No one else has this key, right?"

I stopped in my tracks.

I said: "Yes".
