Growth pain

Freshmen start school in September, and the staff dormitory where Lu Shining lives happens to be in a middle school. In the past few years, his sleep quality is obviously not as good as before, and he will be woken up by the morning class bell every morning.

Shao Qing asked him to go shopping on Sunday, but Lu Shining went to the appointment with a sleep-deprived face.

Shao Qing raised her eyebrows, "Otherwise you should go back to sleep, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

Lu Shining rubbed his temples and shook his head, "Today, the middle school students across from each other make up lessons."

Shao Qing couldn't help but comment on two words: "It's so miserable."

Lu Shining sighed and lowered his head, "Where's your girlfriend?"

"I was temporarily called by the company to work overtime."

"I haven't seen her yet." Lu Shining squinted his eyes, "There's no need to guard against me, right?"

Shao Qing spread her hands, "I really don't have time, but she wants to see you."

"Did you tell her that I like men?" Lu Shining asked lightly.

Shao Qing said "Oh", "She knows, after I came back, I showed her the photos we took when we were in college..."

Lu Shining waited for the next article.

"Xu Jia said you don't look straight."

Then spit out all the juice you drank.

Shao Qing showed a disgusted expression and handed over a tissue.

Lu Shining: "...Sorry."

"But she's quite accurate in seeing people, what should I say? Is it a woman's intuition?" Shao Qing bit the straw and leaned on the cool chair, tilting her head, "Or is it the intuition of a straight girl?"

Lu Shining turned his face away, "Don't ask me, I don't know."

"She still thinks Chen Shuangyi is."

Lu Shining was stunned when he heard that.

"Do you remember who it is? The one in your club..."

"I remember," he said.

Shao Qing nodded, "I'm not very familiar with him, but I have to say, I was so skeptical before."

Lu Shining asked: "What is this? The intuition of a curvy girl?"

Shao Qing bent his eyes and raised his fist, showing a very gentle smile: "Slap you."

It has been half a month since he came to Jingshi, and Lu Shining has not fully adapted to the new environment.The staff dormitory is on the basement floor. At night, you can hear rats gnawing on things. In the morning, you can’t sleep well because of the morning exercise music played by the opposite school.

Lu Shining often wakes up before dawn, and he lives with a 1.8-meter-high man. His favorite thing to do at night is snore, grind his teeth, and talk in his sleep.

It was the first time that Lu Shining saw that a person could do these three things together. For a while, he didn't know whether to worry about his own bad luck or applaud the trio.

Shao Qing's shopping is purposeful, and he stops shopping after buying what he wants to buy.Lu Shining helped carry the shoes, thinking about this problem all the way, until Shao Qing finished shopping for clothes before saying: "I want to move out."

The salesperson next to him covered his mouth and smiled secretly.It's no wonder that she regards Lu Shining as Shao Qing's boyfriend - it's really hard for a little boyfriend to refuse such a request, and to look at the tall woman with those dog-like eyes.

Shao Qing flashed a gratified smile like an old mother, and patted Lu Shining on the shoulder, "You finally want to open it? That's fine, when I go back, I will ask you where there is a house for rent."

Lu Shining: "Is this reliable?"

Shao Qing said firmly: "Cub, you have to trust me!"

Lu Shining's birthday is in November, and he was the youngest one in the university dormitory before, so he is used to being called "youngest, youngest" all day long.

Shao Qing gave him such a title, and he gave up struggling when he was also called.

"Actually, I can..." Lu Shining was interrupted in the middle of his words.

"How long have you only been in Jingshi? You don't even know if you've been scammed, but I'll check it out for you. Don't worry, I'll definitely find you a reliable house."

Shao Qing's confident expression made Lu Shining feel embarrassed to refuse, so he had to nod in response.

Shao Qing was still very efficient in handling affairs, and soon found a cost-effective apartment.She asked Lu Shining on the phone: "Cub."

Lu Shining: "..."

"Do you accept shared renting? Just the kind where two people live together."

Lu Shining was actually a little bit resistant, he didn't want to live with strangers.But if they don't share the rent, he has to bear all the expenses. The deposit is still enough now, but not always enough.

"I'll go and have a look first." Lu Shining replied, "I'll make a decision at that time."

"Then you must take a look. It's okay to have photos." Shao Qing asked him, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

"I'll just go by myself, don't you still have a job?" Lu Shining was thinking about the time.

"That's fine." Shao Qing scratched his chin on the other side of the phone, "Well, are you free this Sunday? I'll grab Xu Jia, where should we go for a walk?"

"it is good."

"Well, let's do this first. Remember to tell me if you don't like it when you come back." Shao Qing hung up the phone, and after a while, he patted his thigh. Xu Jia turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"

"There's something I forgot to tell Lu Shining."

"Is it important?"

"It's not very important." Shao Qing thought for a moment, then leaned back on the sofa, "Forget it, let's talk about it after he's seen the house. It's embarrassing if he doesn't match."

Xu Jia smiled, and leaned over to watch TV with her.

The next day, when Lu Shining arrived at the gate of the community, he was asked to show his key card, so he called the landlord's phone number Shao Qing had sent him to explain his purpose.

A young man's voice came from the other side of the phone, saying politely: "Excuse me, you give the phone to the security guard, and I will tell him."

"Ok."

Lu Shining felt that the voice sounded familiar, and the phone was quickly returned, and the security guard opened the door, so he stopped thinking about it and went straight to the apartment building.

On the way here by taxi, Lu Shining paid special attention to the surrounding environment. It was good, but it was too good. It shouldn't be the rental house at the price Shao Qing said.

When the elevator reached the 15th floor, Lu Shining knocked on the door according to the house number, and there was a quick response from the door, which was a very clear male voice.

Landlord or co-tenant?Forgot to ask Shao Qing.

When the door was opened to see the people inside, Lu Shining knew everything.

The man inside the door was wearing home clothes and a dark blue apron around his neck. He looked good-looking, gentle and refined, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked well-bred.

Lu Shining's scalp felt numb for a while, but he didn't let himself take a step back, and called out dryly: "Senior..."

At the same time, the man also said: "Shi Ning, long time no see."

Is there anything more embarrassing than this.

Lu Shining thought about it for a while, if it was Yuan Sen standing in front of him now, he might have already run away, before he could wait for the elevator, he stepped on the stairs and rushed down.

So it's not the worst case scenario.

He comforted himself.

Lu Shining raised his usual smiling face, "Senior, long time no see."

Lu Shining didn't return to the dormitory until eight o'clock in the evening, Shao Qing asked him how the house was.

Lu Shining typed: [The house is pretty good. 】

Shao Qing: [Then it's settled? 】

Lu Shining: [The person who wants to rent together is Chen Shuangyi. 】

Shao Qing: [? ? ? 】

When she called, Lu Shining spoke first: "Why are you acting so surprised? Didn't you introduce it?"

"No... Oh, it's just a coincidence. Aren't Chen Shuangyi and I in the same company?"

"Are you two in the same company?" Lu Shining asked numbly, "You never said that."

In fact, what he should have thought of, Shao Qing couldn't even remember the name of his colleague, how could he remember the name of a senior in the university.

Shao Qing said: "I'm not in the same department. He's on the same level as my superior. I haven't said hello when we meet. I'm really not familiar with him. I haven't spoken to him before. Zhang Lei is familiar with him, right?"

"Zhang Lei is familiar with everyone."

Shao Qing laughed, "That's true."

She finished laughing and continued: "Didn't I help you find a house? I asked my colleague by the way during the meal. Xiaoliang was with me, so he asked me if I asked for you. Chen Shuangyi was also in the cafeteria, and suddenly said that he could introduce me. .I was quite skeptical at first, but he sent me a photo of the room. I looked at it, and it was a good place. I thought he was your senior, so I couldn’t cheat you. Didn’t you often go out together in the past? But I didn’t expect it It's his own house for rent."

Lu Shining let out a "hmm".

Shao Qing sat up, "What's wrong? Not satisfied?"

Lu Shining told the truth: "We had some conflicts after he graduated, and it wasn't very pleasant at the time."

Shao Qing's smile froze on his face, "Did he trouble you?"

"No." Lu Shining lowered his eyes, "It's not a big deal, he doesn't even remember it."

Shao Qing exhaled, "That's good."

"I'd better look for a house again." Lu Shining said.

"Alright, it's embarrassing for you to say that." Shao Qing said, "Baby, isn't it embarrassing?"

Lu Shining: "...not bad."

In the afternoon, when he went to see the apartment, Lu Shining saw that the landlord was Chen Shuangyi, so he just wanted to turn around and leave immediately.

But the man greeted him with a smiling face, and he couldn't lose face at all.

"I'm cooking." The man made way for him while talking, "Come in and talk, isn't it hot outside?"

Lu Shining stepped in, intentionally not changing into slippers, the intention was obvious, he wanted to go back as soon as possible.

Chen Shuangyi didn't say anything in his eyes, but said to him: "You are still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."

Lu Shining didn't want to reminisce about the old days, so he picked a topic at random: "Senior wears glasses, is it short-sighted?"

Chen Shuangyi said: "Two Baidu."

"……Oh."

Then neither of them spoke.

Lu Shining regretted coming in.

so awkward.

It's a lie to say it's not embarrassing.

After all, he and Chen Shuangyi were almost together once.

The author has something to say: New characters appear.I actually talked about it a little bit earlier, but someone might have forgotten it. Let me help you recall—Lu Shining joined the music club and had a good relationship with the vice president, but they broke up later.He told Yuan Sen that smoking and drinking were taught by seniors.
