The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss
Chapter 5: The Strange Man in the House Across the Street
As she thought about it, she calmly walked around to the wall behind the house and took out a folding ladder from an inconspicuous corner.
Pull it open, climb up, hold on to the wall and climb over.
Then she dusted her hands and walked towards the door.
He opened the door, walked around and folded the ladder and put it back in the corner, then walked in through the main door and closed the door.
The whole process went smoothly and was obviously a very daily routine for her.
There are two old houses in this courtyard, both of which are two-story and face each other.
The rest of the place was a dry pond covered with moss, a pile of mud pots without a single flower, and a deserted small tree garden...
There is also a huge, century-old yellow horn tree standing in the middle of the main courtyard, which now also presents a desolate scene with its yellow leaves falling.
Ji Ran walked through the front yard as usual and went straight into his house.
The first thing I did when I got back to the room was to take a shower to wash away the unpleasant smell and bad luck.
Ji Ran has lived in the house on the left since he can remember.
At that time, society still favored boys over girls, so there were many abandoned baby girls.
There were originally several other girls like her who were either fatherless or motherless. They were all adopted by a single old lady, who was also their wet nurse, and lived in this lonely house that had been abandoned since who knows which dynasty.
My nanny told me that her mother died of complications during childbirth when she was just born, and the doctor who delivered her was from the same village as her, so he sent her here.
She always felt that she was luckier than her friends because she was not abandoned, but her mother died...
As for the man who caused her mother to die alone during childbirth for unknown reasons, she just assumed he was dead.
The wet nurse was already 72 years old at the time, but she was their only mother.
Unfortunately, she never made it through the eighties.
Before the old man passed away, his biggest concern was Ji Ran.
In the last few years, she has done her best to help all the girls find suitable adoptive families.
The only one left was Ji Ran, who was unwilling to leave.
Every time an adoptive family took a fancy to her, she would either act crazy or behave in a naughty and unruly manner, making the adoptive parents frown and shake their heads.
During the days when the nurse was in the worst condition, she would cry silently with tears in her eyes as long as she was clear-headed.
Looking at the small figure of Ji Ran, who was only a few years old at the time, running around for her every day and doing all the dirty and tiring work without ever frowning.
She felt that she was a burden to this already miserable child, and she also felt extremely guilty for not finding a warm home for her.
Ji Ran, however, looked heartless and told her, as a mortal, to stop worrying about the worries of the gods. The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are.
In the end, of course, Ji Ran was the only one who accompanied the old man to close his eyes.
On her 9th birthday, she went alone to find Uncle Liu, who had always been bothering her, and calmly agreed to his request to be his apprentice on the condition that he gave her 20 yuan.
Professor Liu was a little puzzled at the time, but to him it was only 20 yuan, so he agreed with a smile.
It wasn't until several days later that he found out...
It turned out that Ji Ran wanted to give the old lady a decent funeral and even bought a piece of land with beautiful scenery for a cemetery.
It was then that he truly understood Ji Ran's miserable life experience. He was filled with mixed emotions and felt even more pity for this young genius.
And Ji Ran silently did what she was supposed to do.
Throughout the whole process, she seemed to feel a heart-wrenching pain in her heart, but she did not shed a single tear.
She had never cried as long as she could remember.
She doesn't seem to cry.
Maybe I don't have tear glands.
Later, she never left here because it was her only home.
The other house has always belonged to another family, but the neighbors complained that their family had more and more children and they were too noisy and rowdy.
But considering that they were all poor children, the family did not bother them and simply moved away.
Later, it was rented out to some artists who came to the wilderness to seek inspiration, but everyone moved out after living there for a short time.
Later, all his friends left, his nanny also left, and Ji Ran was too lazy to take care of the yard by himself.
The yard became increasingly old, dilapidated and gloomy. Plus, since it was located in a pristine wild forest area that even the government was unwilling to plan for development, no one was willing to rent it.
The opposite side has been empty for several years now.
After taking a shower, Ji Ran came out wrapped in a bath towel and picked up the unfortunate hospital gown on the floor at the bathroom door and planned to throw it away.
With a "pop".
The phone fell out.
She bent down to pick up her phone, and suddenly remembered that Chi Tao had just asked her to go home and take a video for her.
Ji Ran frowned in impatience, his head ached when he thought of that nagging little 'old woman'.
She went straight upstairs to the bedroom, threw her phone casually on the bed, turned around and went to the closet to find a comfortable large T-shirt to wear.
Most of the clothes in her closet were donated by kind-hearted people in the past, and some were picked up by her nanny.
So there are all kinds.
For Ji Ran, clothes only serve to cover the naked body in summer and keep out the cold in winter, so even though she has money now, she doesn't buy more expensive, better or more beautiful clothes.
Less than three seconds later, she turned around and picked up the phone lying on the bed, turned on the front camera and turned it around impatiently, then clicked send and threw the phone back on the bed.
Then the phone started to ring with a series of message tones.
She pretended not to hear and calmly pulled out a large cotton T-shirt from the closet. She closed the closet door and naturally faced the direction of the corridor with the floor-to-ceiling windows.
She was the only one living in the house all year round, so she never cared about closing doors, windows and curtains when getting dressed.
She just untied the bath towel and put the T-shirt on her head.
However, her head had just emerged from the collar of her T-shirt...
But suddenly I saw... a very handsome man dressed in black standing in the corridor on the second floor of the house opposite.
At this moment, he was tilting his face slightly, looking towards the courtyard.
At this moment, time seemed to stop for a few seconds.
"what!!!!!!!!!!!"
The girl's scream instantly pierced through the roof tiles.
Ji Ran couldn't help but scream. He hurriedly put on his clothes and quickly hid behind the wall next to the window.
I was so flustered that I even fell on the way.
"Fuck!" This time it was a scream of pain from the fall.
After finally putting on this large T-shirt that could be used as a dress, Ji Ran clung to the wall and awkwardly stuck half of his head out from under the window.
She saw the stunningly handsome man opposite her, looking at her with a puzzled but worried look.
But the next second after he looked into her eyes, he was filled with great surprise and a little... fear? ?
Ji Ran frowned.
This guy must have seen her changing clothes just now, right? She was only wearing underwear...
Now you're still looking at her like this? ?
Damn! What does that mean?!
