What to do if you are spotted by the straight man next door

After leaving the agency, Su Bin referred to the introduction of the major communication companies in country B in "Strategy for Overseas Students", bought a local SIM card, and included a package that was cheaper for domestic long-distance calls.

In fact, this is what he is most anxious about. Every second of "lost contact" with Chen Xiaotian makes Su Bin feel like a year!

"Honey..." In the next second, he dialed Chen Xiaotian's number.

"Why did you call so late? I waited for you until two o'clock in the middle of the night last night." Chen Xiaotian worried.

"I was wrong. Didn't I call you right after I bought a SIM card... I miss you so much!" Su Bin explained while apologizing, but he had a silly smile on his face.

"I'm just worried that you will be abducted as soon as you leave the country because you are so thoughtless." Chen Xiaotian was worried all day and all night.

Su Bin was a little unhappy: "Am I so stupid in your heart!" He told Chen Xiaotian everything that happened after he arrived in country B, including the instant noodle incident in the morning and that handsome blond foreigner, detailing everything. Li giggled.

"You see, I'm fine by myself!" Su Bin looked at the bus stop sign while making a phone call, "I'll go to see the house later."

"Okay, okay," Chen Xiaotian praised him, and asked, "What kind of house are you going to see?"

Su Bin: "I don't know, the house is quite far from the school, but the rent is much cheaper than a studio in the city center, and the tenants are all Chinese... As long as the conditions are not too bad, I will settle it, and it will only take one year , too lazy to toss."

Chen Xiaotian asked the prices of the two, and said, "You're not short of that money, so let's rent a studio."

Su Bin: "Why am I not short of money!"

Chen Xiaotian was surprised: "Didn't your father give you money when you went abroad?"

Chen Xiaotian knew everything about Su Bin's family. She knew that Su Bin's father had a big business. His father had always been willing to spend money on Su Bin, who had been obedient and sensible since he was a child, but he could only use money to make up for his love.

"Don't mention him..." Since Su Bin decided to go abroad for an exchange, his father has never had a phone call, and he only said two sentences from beginning to end. , "I have charged you the money, please pay attention to your own safety."Thinking of this, Su Bin became a little annoyed, "I only know how to give me money, money is useful, I don't want his money!"

Chen Xiaotian stopped talking.

Su Bin felt that his tone was not good, and immediately said: "I want to make money by myself, save some money, and try to marry you in as soon as possible."

Chen Xiaotian: "Then I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?"

Su Bin: "It will be soon, maybe it will be tomorrow? ... Wait for me to buy a lottery ticket!"

"You...just talk nonsense!" Chen Xiaotian laughed.

The two of you were very unhappy when you said something to me, Su Bin suddenly had the urge to tell Chen Xiaotian the three-character text message that he failed to send before the plane: "Xiaotian, I..."

"Hey, it's so late! It's time for me to go to study by myself last night," Chen Xiaotian interrupted him suddenly and hastily, "If there is anything interesting, we can talk about it when we call next time."

Su Bin: "...Okay, then you go!"

Chen Xiaotian: "Come on, be careful outside by yourself!"

Su Bin moved: "Well, don't worry about me, I'll call you later, kiss me!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Bin was extremely disappointed, but thinking of Chen Xiaotian's instructions, he quickly cheered up and set off to see the house.

It takes about three to 10 minutes to take a bus from the city center to the platform Ellen mentioned on the phone.

When Su Bin got off the bus, he saw a tall and thin Chinese boy leaning against the platform. The man was wearing a pair of rimless glasses, with a gentle appearance, and looked a few years older than himself.

Seeing Su Bin coming down, the other party looked over naturally: "Michael?"

Su Bin went up to him and shook hands with him: "Hello..." He was worried, this guy can't speak English, right?Although his idol is Yu Minhong, he is not yet ready to speak English as well as Chinese! !

The man gave Su Bin a gentle smile and said, "My name is Yang Chengzhe, you can call me Joe."

When the other party spoke Chinese, Su Bin felt a lot more relaxed: "Well, my name is Su Bin!"

Yang Chengzhe: "You look quite small."

"Really?" Su Bin laughed silly, "I was born in 1990, how about you?"

Yang Chengzhe cast a meaningful look at Su Bin, as if saying, yo, the post-[-]s...

Because of the "non-mainstream" culture that has emerged for a period of time, some post-1990s feel that post-[-]s are different, so they must be ridiculed when they meet. In fact, only a small part of the mavericks, but Su Bin, who was born in [-], always Fortunately, Yang Chengzhe's eyes were not prejudiced. He just found it novel and had some emotions, "I was born in [-], and I am much older than you." He said.

Su Bin: "Then I'll call you Brother Cheng!"

Yang Chengzhe smiled happily: "Okay, but you can call me that in private, if Ellen is here, you still call me Joey."

Su Bin asked, "Is Ellen the landlord?"

Yang Chengzhe froze for a moment, smiled and shook his head: "No, he is also a tenant. I rented this house first, and the tenants have changed several times. Ellen only moved in two years ago."

Su Bin: "Hey, why did the agent call him?"

Yang Chengzhe: "He has more demands on his roommates, so I let him make up his mind."

Su Bin thought of those strange questions in the morning, and thought, it turns out that these are all Ellen's personal requests!But Su Bin didn't understand, "Why can't I call you 'Brother Cheng' in front of him? This is also his special request?" He raised one eyebrow and asked.

"No," Yang Chengzhe said with tolerance, "because he can't speak Chinese, out of politeness, as long as he is around, we all speak English."

Su Bin had a good impression of Yang Chengzhe's carefulness and consideration: "Isn't Ellen Chinese?"

Yang Chengzhe considered it carefully: "I can only say that he has Chinese ancestry, but he was born and raised in a local country, so at most he can be regarded as a BBC*[Note]..."

While talking, the two arrived at the shared house. It was a traditional residential villa in country B, surrounded by greenery and similar houses. The house had two floors, its own garden, and open-air parking space.

The outdoor environment is very good. Seeing this, Su Bin is quite satisfied.

When Yang Chengzhe led him in, the feeling inside surprised Su Bin even more!

Unlike the dirty and smelly male dormitories in China, this place is very clean and tidy.

The eye-catching fabric sofa and European-style bookshelves occupy the main positions in the living room, and other furniture and decorations are also arranged in an orderly manner. What makes Su Bin most excited is the spinning bike by the window!

For boys who love sports, there is no one who doesn't like spinning bikes, but due to limited conditions, Su Bin rarely comes into contact with them in China. Now he sees one in the living room, his eyes are shining!

Seeing Su Bin's undisguised eyes, Yang Chengzhe said with a smile, "That's Jin Fei's."

"Ah? Who is Jin Fei?" Su Bin asked, but his eyes were still lingering on the spinning bike.

Yang Chengzhe: "Another roommate."

Su Bin couldn't help but walked over and touched it, the cool streamlines, headphones with Beats and Sony dynamic screen... His saliva was about to flow out!

Yang Chengzhe looked at him like he was looking at a child: "Jinfei is not bad, you will have a lot of opportunities to play in the future, I will show you the room first."

"Okay, okay!" As he said this, Su Bin felt that there was no need to read it again, and he was happy to let him live in the living room!

Yang Chengzhe briefly introduced the layout of the rooms, then pointed to the door of the only bedroom on the first floor and said, "This is Jin Fei's room. He is about the same age as you."

Su Bin: "Is he not here?"

Yang Chengzhe: "I've returned to China, but I haven't come back yet. I heard it's the plane the day after tomorrow."

Su Bin: "Isn't school starting the day after tomorrow?"

Yang Chengzhe smiled: "Yeah, that's how he is. He leaves after the exam and comes only after school starts, saying that it's boring here, and it's more fun in China."

Su Bin imagined Jin Fei's character, and thought they should have something in common!

When the two went upstairs, Yang Chengzhe first showed Su Bin a tour of his room. It was the same as what he himself gave Su Bin. His room was also clean and refreshing. The bed was plain and the quilts were folded a little casually, but not messy. It's just that the desk is full of various materials and books, and the notebook is still open.

"I've been working on papers recently, and the desktop is a bit messy," Yang Chengzhe explained.

Su Bin was puzzled: "Why do you have to catch up with the thesis just after the start of school?"

Yang Chengzhe: "I am a doctoral student at M University, and I also work as a part-time teaching assistant. The semester time is different from yours. There are basically no winter and summer vacations, which is equivalent to work."

"Wow..." Su Bin looked at Yang Chengzhe with admiration, "Dr. Yang!"

Yang Chengzhe smiled slightly, glanced at the room and said, "But I won't be able to live here for a few days."

Su Bin was surprised: "Huh? Are you moving out?"

Yang Chengzhe: "No, I want to change rooms with Ellen."

Su Bin was surprised: "Why?"

"It's a long story," Yang Chengzhe led Su Bin to see the rented room, explaining, "Originally, a friend of mine planned to study at M University this year, and that room was reserved for him, but his visa was temporarily issued. Problem, can't come."

Yang Chengzhe pushed open the door and said, "This is it."

The small room is about a dozen square meters, and it is very clean. A 1.2-meter-wide single bed is placed against the wall, and the extended wardrobe, writing desk, and wall-mounted bookshelf are enough for one person.For a domestic college student who is used to living in a four-person dormitory, such a private space could not be better.

Yang Chengzhe continued: "This room is a suite with the next door. There is only one set of bathroom facilities. The two rooms need to be shared. At that time, I thought that it would not matter if I shared with him when my friend came, because Ellen..." Yang Chengzhe pushed Pushing the glasses, "He's a bit of a clean freak, and he pays more attention to personal privacy."

Su Bin: "Then who lived in this room before?"

Yang Chengzhe: "No one lives here. This was originally Ellen's study."

Su Bin: "..."

"Ellen learned that my friend was coming, so she moved all the things to her room. We bought a new bed, wardrobe and writing desk at IKEA." Yang Chengzhe pointed to the furniture in the room. My friend prepared it, but if he didn’t come, we felt it would be a pity to lose it, so we decided to rent it out to someone else.”

Su Bin: "Is that so..."

Yang Chengzhe looked at Su Bin and asked, "Do you mind sharing the bathroom with me?"

Su Bin waved his hand: "Never mind, don't mind!" He had a good impression of this senior who was like the big brother next door.

Yang Chengzhe said with a smile: "That's fine, Ellen is a little busy recently, let's move things together when the weekend comes."

"I'll help you when the time comes." Su Bin's attitude of wanting to stay was already very clear, and he planned to return to the youth hostel to pick up his luggage in a while.

Yang Chengzhe asked him: "Is there a lot of luggage, do you want me to help you get it?"

"I can do it alone!" Su Bin thought of Yang Chengzhe's thesis, and thought that he should be very busy, and didn't want to bother him any more.

Yang Chengzhe gave Su Bin his mobile phone number: "If you have any trouble, you can call me."

Su Bin's heart warmed up: "Brother Cheng...thank you!"

Yang Chengzhe: "Thank you, we will live under the same roof in the future, don't be too polite to me."

On the way back to the Youth Hostel, Su Bin sat on the bus and looked at the foreign scenery outside the window. Although the separation from his girlfriend made him feel lonely, the warm roommate he just met made him look forward to the future life.

That night, Su Bin dragged two [-]-kilogram boxes back to his new home by himself.

Yang Chengzhe looked at him sweating profusely, and said apologetically, "I knew I would go with you... It would be fine if Jin Fei was here, he has a car."

"It's okay..." Su Bin waved his hands weakly, and collapsed on the sofa, too tired to speak.

Yang Chengzhe looked at his watch again, and said, "I was supposed to prepare a welcome banquet for you, but Kaelun hasn't come back yet..."

"It's okay, Brother Cheng," Su Bin glanced at the kitchen, and said, "Is there any food, let's get something to eat."

Yang Chengzhe frowned slightly, as if a little hesitant, but he quickly said: "Okay, then sit down for a while, I'll see what's in the refrigerator, and make two dishes for you to eat."

Su Bin wanted to help, but Yang Chengzhe politely refused because he was tired of carrying luggage.Su Bin was very moved, he thought to himself, he guessed right, all the roommates really know how to cook!Thinking about cooking and eating together in the future, I feel so warm...
