apartment for rent

After making some mental preparations, Yang Yi planned to continue speaking, when the man finally spoke up, and he said, "You still have a cat?"

Yang Yi's head froze for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, the man's tone was very familiar.Yang Yi was not sure for a while whether this person really knew him, or just talking casually.

"You know me?" Yang Yi asked, his tone very uncertain.

At this time, the cat's owner also ran over, took the cat from Yang Yi, and thanked him repeatedly.

After the master left, the person who was hit said: "We are classmates in junior high school, don't you remember?"

Junior high school classmate?Yang Yi's mind was blank. After so many years, his memories of those three years have long been exhausted. He really can't remember the origin of this person's name.

This person didn't mind, seeing Yang Yi's predicament, he took the initiative to introduce himself, "I'm You Xuan."

Yang Yi still had an impression of the name, the squad leader only mentioned it a few days ago.

"I remembered, the squad leader said you owe me a favor?" Yang Yi thought that since he had met them all, he simply asked.

You Xuan didn't answer, and changed the subject, "Do you live near here?"

Yang Yi didn't care if he didn't get the answer, he couldn't remember.

"Yes, it's in Heye Community." Yang Yi said generously, "You live nearby too?"

You Xuan reported the name of a community. Yang Yi thought about it, and found that it was not too far from their current location but not close. He did not expect that You Xuan’s night run would have such a wide range of activities. Taking a closer look, You Xuan’s figure is really good. , then casually boasted, "Jian□□live, it's pretty good, I'm almost becoming a useless person in the office.

You Xuan smiled: "People who are idle in society have nothing to do, so they have to exercise."

"Are you a fitness trainer?" Yang Yi didn't even think about it, he asked without thinking, and after he finished speaking, he secretly regretted it.

You Xuan didn't say yes or no.

Yang Yi understood that it was reasonable to not want to reveal too much of his personal situation when he just ran into an old classmate he was not familiar with, so he didn't continue to ask.

They greeted each other a few words, then said goodbye and left, no different from ordinary old classmates meeting by chance.

On the way back, Yang Yi was still thinking about You Xuan who he met just now, and recalled the memories in his mind several times, but he couldn't find too many memories related to You Xuan.

When he got home, Yang Yi found out the graduation photos of his junior high school class.

Their graduation photos are very humane, and the names of the people are marked on the back of the photos. Yang Yi immediately found You Xuan's location, and he happened to be standing behind him.

Yang Yi also checked several times whether he had admitted his mistake—the You Xuan in junior high school in the photo feels different from the You Xuan he saw today.

You Xuan in the photo is very outstanding, able to attract the attention of others in an instant, he has a handsomeness that cannot be concealed by time, but I don't know if it is because of the angle or the light, he looks a bit shady in the photo, with a bit of disbelief A sense of alienation.

Seeing this photo, Yang Yi remembered that he and You Xuan hadn't met each other in the three years of junior high school.

On a weekend afternoon when the senior high school entrance examination was approaching, Yang Yi was stopped by some rambunctious students from the next class on the small road behind the school to find fault. You Xuan just happened to pass by and helped Yang Yi.

After finishing, Yang Yi thanked You Xuan, You Xuan didn't say anything, but watched Yang Yi leave in place.

Too much time has passed, and Yang Yi almost completely forgot about this incident, but once the box of memory is opened, it cannot be contained, and the impressions related to You Xuan come out one after another.

In junior high school, You Xuan had no other outstanding features other than being handsome, but his eyes were a little raised and his face was expressionless, so others were a little afraid of him.

At that time, the water dispenser was placed near You Xuan. Once, a few students fought and spilled the collected water all over the floor. You Xuan made a big fuss. , almost no one dared to go to pick up the water.

Yang Yi has also heard rumors that You Xuan has close contacts with gangsters in the society. He stays in school just to complete the nine-year compulsory education with a diploma. After graduating from junior high school, he will go to the society...

But it was just a rumor, as far as Yang Yi knew, You Xuan still went to high school, but he didn't know what happened after that.

I don't feel much about living day after day on weekdays, but now I look back and realize that it has been so long.

When I was in junior high school, I felt that high school was so far away that it seemed to be in my next life. In a blink of an eye, Yang Yi even graduated from college and started working.

But what remains unchanged from the beginning to the end is that Yang Yi has always been an innocuous little transparent.

After sighing for a while, Yang Yi put the photo back into the storage box.

This storage box is not big, except for a few photos, it is almost full of small notes, stacked on top of each other.

After closing the lid again, the contents of this box were stuffed under the bed by Yang Yi again, out of sight.

·

As New Year's Eve was approaching, the Intermediate People's Court held a small Spring Festival holiday as stipulated, and people went to work on the last day. By the afternoon, people in the office had already found various reasons to slip away.

In fact, Yang Yi didn't have anything special to deal with, but he still waited honestly until it was time to get off work before packing up and leaving.

When I got home, my roommate Xiao Xiaochen had already started packing.His home is in the province, not far away, and he bought a train ticket for the night.

Xiao Xiaochen turned the house upside down, and when he saw Yang Yi came back, he hurriedly asked, "Yang Yi, have you seen my shoes?"

"Shoes?" Yang Yi put down the key.

Xiao Xiaochen described the appearance of the shoes, "I put them on the balcony, why are they gone, I checked before going out, and there are still some..."

Yang Yi had some impressions of the shoes Xiao Xiaochen was talking about, and remembered that the price was not cheap, Xiao Xiaochen also bought them in installments, and now he is still in debt for the shoes, no wonder he was so anxious.

"I haven't seen it before," Yang Yi recalled, "Could it be that you put it in and forgot, so look for it."

"I've searched for everything, including my room, the living room, and the balcony! I even opened the kitchen cabinets and checked, nothing!"

Yang Yi: "..."

Yang Yi belatedly noticed that something was wrong, hearing what Xiao Xiaochen meant, could he still want to go into his room to look for it?

Xiao Xiaochen was suspicious of him, but Yang Yi was sure in an instant.

Being suspected of stealing by his roommate who lived with him for several months, Yang Yi didn't have any special feeling in his heart, so he said very calmly: "You can go to the room and have a look."

On the contrary, Xiao Xiaochen was a little embarrassed, and he twitched whether he said yes or no.

Yang Yi simply opened the door on his own initiative, signaling to Xiao Xiaochen that he could do whatever he wanted.

Yang Yi's room is not big, and the items inside are also very simple, just a single bed, which is a bit old, a wardrobe attached to the wall, and a small table and chair.At a glance, it is neat and tidy, and there is nothing superfluous.

Xiao Xiaochen went in carefully, looked left and right, and started with the closet first.

The closet was seriously aged, and when the closet door was pushed and pulled, it was accompanied by a breathless noise. After opening, there were very few clothes, very sparse.

Xiao Xiaochen still remembered that Yang Yi was his landlord and a colleague, so he didn't dare to go too far. He was a lot more careful when searching, and didn't mess up Yang Yi's things too much.

After looking for the closet, there seemed to be no other suspicious places in the room. Xiao Xiaochen thought about it and lay down on the ground, looking under Yang Yi's bed.

The bed is also very clean, no dust, and a small box can be seen at a glance. Considering the size of the box, it should not fit a pair of shoes.

There was a roll of things beside the box, Xiao Xiaochen wanted to push it away, but his fingers seemed to be stained with something, Xiao Xiaochen's heart trembled, and he retracted his hand to have a look - his fingers were stained with red things!

"Ah—! Blood?!" Xiao Xiaochen yelled uncontrollably.

Yang Yi who was standing at the door hurried in and asked, "What?"

Xiao Xiaochen's eyes were full of panic, and he calmed down a little after seeing Yang Yi, feeling that his reaction just now was too embarrassing and too fussy.

After calming down, Xiao Xiaochen stretched out his fingers to show Yang Yi, and asked, "What's under your bed?"

Yang Yi also looked puzzled, bent down and pulled out the things under the bed, it was a rolled up painting.

Yang Yi touched the painting, and looked at his own hand, which was also dyed red, "The paint on your hand seems to have faded, you can smell it yourself."

"Oh oh oh...it scared me to death." Xiao Xiaochen took a long breath, carefully checked that the red color on his hand was indeed not liquid, and then put his finger under his nose to sniff hard, but he didn't smell anything special , "What kind of paint is this, why is it still fading."

"I don't know either," Yang Yi responded vaguely, "Did you find your shoes?"

"No, I'm sorry, Yang Yi."

The painting was all red, and it looked a little disgusting.Xiao Xiaochen was inexplicably scared, but he still wanted to see what was on the painting. Unfortunately, Yang Yi held the painting in his hand and had no intention of showing Xiao Xiaochen to see it. Xiao Xiaochen couldn't continue to offend Yang Yi, so he had to give up.

"It's okay." Yang Yi said.

After Xiao Xiaochen left Yang Yi's room, the door was also closed, so Xiao Xiaochen couldn't see Yang Yi's appearance after taking off his composure.

Yang Yi held the painting tightly in his hands, breathing quickly, even his eyes were red, a thin layer of tears floated out and swirled in the eye sockets but refused to fall.

Yang Yi trembled a little, and it took him a long time to find a way to control his body, and opened the picture scroll tremblingly.

The content of the painting is a few flowers of unknown species. These flowers are all red and painted casually, not much better than kindergarten children. There is a line of words on the top-Happy Birthday.

Yang Yi didn't dare to look at this painting after opening it for many years, but he always carried these things with him even when he was most difficult and homeless.

After all, these are the only things that can prove that that person really existed.

Later, Xiao Xiaochen adjusted the surveillance in the corridor, and no one entered Yang Yi's house, at least through the main entrance, except for the two residents.

No clues could be found, so Xiao Xiaochen just thought he was unlucky, and went cursing with his luggage to catch the car.
