you complement me

There was a moment of silence in the carriage.

The silence lasted for too long, even Bo Fuzhang couldn't detect something was wrong.

She glanced at Yu Yiru while driving, and saw that the other person's face was dark, not as smiling as before.

Bo Fuzhang was a little surprised, in fact, she really didn't expect that this sentence would make Yu Yiru angry.

When the silence reached the destination, Bo Fuzhang finally opened his mouth and said, "Aren't you happy?"

Yu Yiru wasn't sure if she was unhappy or not.

If she wanted to talk about it, she could only be sure that she was very wronged—this kind of grievance was like when she was a child in the orphanage, she didn’t know why she was the only one who didn’t have snacks after lunch, or she obviously did very wrongly at school. She worked hard, but the teacher only criticized her for not doing well enough.

During the silent journey, her thoughts were constantly changing, and she almost thought about everything from childhood to adulthood, but in the end, there was only one sentence left——

What's wrong with me trying to be more likable?

She was angry and stopped talking, but when Bo Fuzhang spoke first, she subconsciously couldn't help but respond—because in her mind, it would be very rude not to respond to others, so she finally said: "I didn't Angry - but I'm getting out of the car, thanks for bringing me here."

"Why did you add 'but'? Does wanting to get out of the car have something to do with your anger?"

Yu Yiru said angrily: "It's just a related word, do you need to pick words like this?"

"But you are really angry."

Yu Yiru turned her head and stared at Bo Fuzhang: "Why do you want me to admit that I'm angry?"

At this time, Bo Fuzhang pulled over and stopped.

She slammed on the brakes and turned off the engine, unbuckled her seat belt, relaxed on the back of the seat, and turned her head.

The light came in from the car window, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and the shadow of her eyelashes fell in her eyes, making it impossible to see the real expression inside—but it seemed to be a kind of affectionate nostalgia, just like usual: "Because everyone You will be angry, I hope that even if you are not angry in front of everyone, you can also be angry in front of me."

——Another plausible confession.

In a burst of uncontrollable throbbing, Yu Yiru made such a rational judgment deep in her heart.

As if she had a reason to fight back, she looked directly at Bo Fuzhang and asked, "Have you ever thought about why you said that?"

Bo Fuzhang was in a daze when asked.

Yu Yiru smiled: "Didn't you ask me to remind you, I'll tell you now, what you said just now is seducing people again—maybe you don't think it, but it's really too much like a trick to sway people."

After she said this, she opened the car door and got out of the car, and walked away quickly, but after turning around and walking away, the smile that was pretending to be calm finally collapsed.

Pressing her beating heart, she had to admit that Bo Fuzhang's words, which might have just been spit out at random, moved her again.

Or in other words, it touched something deep in her heart.

Her mood calmed down when she met the agent and the landlord.

The agent is a woman in her 40s, and the landlord is a man in her 50s. Both of them were a little surprised when they saw Yu Yiru.

The intermediary said, "Are you just a little girl?"

Yu Yiru heard something from this question: "Isn't the house opposite the CITIC Building, is it a downtown area?"

The intermediary's eyes wandered: "Ah, it's a downtown area."

Yu Yiru soon knew what these words meant.

Because the road that was originally directly connected to the main road was being repaired and could not be passed through, the only way to get to the house was to pass through a secluded alley at the back.

After passing through the alley, there is the back door of the hotel in front, and on the other side is the abandoned construction site. I don't know how long it has been abandoned, and the covering cloth outside is almost torn.

Looking at the desolate and abandoned construction site beside her, Yu Yiru couldn't help frowning slightly.

It was already like this during the day, and it was probably even more gloomy at night. Yu Yiru noticed that there were no street lights on the side of the road.

The gloomyness is second to none, and more importantly, she has never had such high confidence in the city's security.

This is definitely not her delusion of being murdered. She has read the survey and knows that the murder rate of women of her type is simply high-beautiful, living alone, and not aggressive.

Although Yu Yiru couldn't help frowning, she didn't make her dissatisfaction too obvious, she just pursed her lips and made an expression of observing the surrounding environment.

The agent enthusiastically introduced: "Although it is not convenient to walk now, the road ahead will be repaired soon, and it will be convenient at that time."

Yu Yiru was noncommittal, just nodded.

After walking for about 5 minutes like this, I arrived at the destination community.

The outer wall is half-new and not old, because it is in the shade, the corners are covered with moss, and there is a row of trash cans piled up at the entrance. Not only are they not sorted, but most of them are left outside. When they approached, a few cats ran away. , disappeared like a whirlwind.

After walking into the corridor, a strange smell came towards her. Yu Yiru tried her best to control her expression so that it would not be too ferocious. The agent and the landlord had already shown disgusted eyes more honestly than her.

But the agent still explained: "The third floor seems to be making pickles, but it doesn't smell so bad every day, and if you live on the sixth floor, you can't smell it."

Yu Yiru smiled forcedly.

After climbing up to the sixth floor, Yu Yiru found that the sixth floor was originally the highest floor, and the strange thing is that the other floors are two rooms facing each other, only the sixth floor, only 602, where there should be 601 is a wall, the cement on it It looks a little newer than the surrounding area, obviously it was built later.

In an instant, the plots of many ghost stories flashed through her brain, and goosebumps appeared on the back of her neck.

Before she could ask, the landlord had already opened the door to 602 and showed it to her with a smile on his face.

Although it is an old-fashioned neighborhood, the rooms are well decorated.

At least after living in Bo Fuzhang's house for two days, Yu Yiru was even a little friendly when he saw the house with normal decoration.

The house has two bedrooms and one living room. The walls in the hall are painted bright yellow, and the bedroom is covered with pale green wrinkled wallpaper. Everywhere is exquisite and tidy, and it looks full of life.

The landlord said at this time: "We have all gone back to our hometown in the suburbs, and we don't care about the rent, so we don't want to rent to those messy people. I decided to rent it to you because I saw you as a clean little girl. "

The agent also chimed in: "That's right, I think your conditions are the most suitable in the information, and the others are really good. Let's take a house and turn you into a doghouse."

Yu Yiru suddenly didn't know whether he should laugh or be embarrassed.

Because the other party said so, I was ashamed to say what I didn't want to rent.

But she couldn't help but care about the desolate path and the brick-built opposite door.

She finally couldn't help but said: "The house is really beautiful, I like it very much, it's exactly the style of my dreams—but why is the house on the opposite side sealed off?"

As she asked, she looked at the landlord and the agent sincerely, hoping that the other party would not lie to her, and also used this to observe their expressions.

After the two looked at each other, the landlord said: "It's not a big deal. Several years ago, the opposite side caught fire. After that, everything went wrong. I went to the witch and said that the house was not good in Feng Shui, so I sealed it up."

The intermediary laughed and said, "You little girl must say that you are superstitious, and you will believe this kind of thing."

Yu Yiru smiled and said, "So that's the case, how long will it take for the road outside to be repaired?"

The agent said: "It was repaired in less than a week, and the road construction is very fast now."

When Yu Yiru heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She actually felt that everything else could be tolerated, but she had to worry about that road. Knowing that she would soon be able to get rid of the current situation, she felt a lot more relaxed.

At this time, her cell phone rang.

It was Bo Fuzhang who called.

She picked it up, and heard Bo Fuzhang say from the opposite side: "Are you looking at the house in Unit 602, [-]?"

"Yes."

"I just heard from the surrounding residents that a fire broke out in the 601 opposite, and three people died. The bodies have not been found yet."

When Yu Yiru heard this, a cold sweat broke out on his back, his throat was dry, and he just wanted to rush out the door.

……

Bo Fuzhang sat in the car and hung up the phone. She didn't get out of the car at all, and naturally she didn't see the so-called "surrounding residents".

She leaned back in the chair and heard Yu Yiru's tense voice coming from the bug——

"I, I'll go back and think about it, okay?"

Bo Fuzhang nodded slightly, showing a satisfied smile.
