Jiang Chaqing drove to Sunshine Road. He looked at the environment through the car window. It was the time for students to go to school, but there were only a few old people walking on this street, and the windows of many houses had their curtains drawn. It's not like it's inhabited.

It really doesn't fit the title of "sunshine", Jiang Chaqing couldn't help thinking, but this remote area is very suitable for the elderly who love quietness.

Jiang Chaqing stopped at the door of the house at No. 516 according to the house number. He got out of the car and looked up. The house has two floors, and the exterior walls are beige. It is a cozy suite that is very suitable for a family to live in.

Jiang Chaqing's mind was in a trance at this moment. He stood at the door for a long time before recovering, turned around, took out his luggage from the trunk, opened the door and walked in.

Unlike the scorching sun outside, the windows in the room were all drawn with curtains, and the air seemed very cool. Jiang Chaqing breathed out, and he looked around. The furniture was indeed as it should be, and it was also very clean. people live.

Jiang Chaqing put his luggage aside. The stairs leading to the second floor were made of wood. As he walked, there was a "squeak" sound, and he frowned uncomfortably. The harsh sound was especially loud in the silent house.

The second floor is a corridor, and there are rooms on the left and right sides. Jiang Chaqing visited it casually, and was quickly attracted by one of the rooms. Every door has an anti-lock function, but only this room has seven extra locks. There was even a lock on the hole. He pinched the lock to observe, and he could tell from the key hole that it was a special lock.

"You can't go in there."

The voice exploded in Jiang Chaqing's ears like thunder, and he suddenly turned around to see Xie Xiao wearing ordinary home clothes and a blue apron, with his bangs covering one side of his face, "Sorry, I'm scared." it's your turn?"

This casual look is completely different from last time, Jiang Chaqing calmed down, "Why are you here?"

"This is the house I lived in before. I heard from Shen Qing that you need to rent a house for the time being." Xie Xiao's lips curled up, but the light was dark at this time, and with the half of his face covered, it seemed that Jiang Cha really calmed down Kamiichi Rin, "Anyway, the house is empty, so why not rent it to you, because it was a bit dirty, so I came here to clean it last night."

Jiang Chaqing did see the obvious tiredness on Xie Xiao's face, and felt a little embarrassed, "Please, I do plan to live here for a while, and I can pay three months' rent in advance."

"It doesn't matter. Let's go to the living room downstairs. The smell is rather pungent after cleaning here. I'm planning to open the window to let in the air." Xie Xiao said as he opened the window. The sun instantly illuminated the entire corridor, and the slightest breeze blew out the heat. pour in.

"En." Jiang Chaqing responded. He did smell the pungent bleach smell on the second floor just now. He subconsciously glanced back at the locked door, where the bleach smell came from. of.

Xie Xiao went downstairs and entered the kitchen, and soon he came out with two cups, the tea in the cups was steaming, and the faint tea fragrance came over his face, which was refreshing.

"Dahongpao." Jiang Chaqing said affirmatively when he smelled the fragrance of tea.

"I heard from Shen Qing that you like tea very much. This was given to me by a friend. I don't drink tea personally, so I'll leave it to you." Xie Xiao pushed the teacup to Jiang Chaqing's side, "Drink and see if you like it. "

Jiang Chaqing picked up the teacup, and the white mist from the hot tea covered his face, and he put down the teacup again, "Just by smelling the aroma, I can be sure that this is the best, but it's a bit hot now."

Xie Xiao lingered on the teacup for a while, then quickly moved away, "Then let it cool for a while."

"If it's convenient to answer, can you tell me what's in that locked door?" Jiang Chaqing asked.

Xie Xiao was stunned, "You have seen the specifications of the room, to tell you the truth, I used to convert this place into a rental room privately, and the locked room was my storage room, so many locks were locked because of me. I have encountered some tenants with bad conduct."

"The things in the storage room...are they precious?" Jiang Chaqing hesitated for a while before speaking.

Xie Xiao lowered his head and stared at the teacup, his smiling face was printed on the cup, he tapped the body of the cup lightly with his fingers, the smiling face immediately distorted with the fluctuations, and he squinted his eyes when he saw it.

"It's very important, something more important than my life."

Jiang Chaqing felt a little puzzled when he heard the answer. As a rental house, why should he put his valuables in the storage room? The time is not familiar enough to say these words, he just nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't touch things that shouldn't be touched."

"I believe you," Xie Xiao stood up after finishing speaking, "I've already cleaned up, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do."

"Xie Xiao," Jiang Chaqing stood up and called him to stop, "You haven't given me the spare key on your body yet."

"Look at my memory..." Xie Xiao patted his head, and he took out the key from his pocket and handed it over.

Jiang Chaqing took the spare key, "Be careful on the road."

After Xie Xiao left, Jiang Chaqing closed the door. It was only at this moment that he relaxed. He walked to the living room and put away the Dahongpao. He took the two cups of intact tea to the kitchen and poured them out. While cleaning the cups, he heard the kettle next to him. The sound of boiling.

Jiang Chaqing took a look, there was only half of the water left, probably Xie Xiao forgot to turn off the switch when boiling the water, just now he was on guard and didn't want to drink the tea made by Xie Xiao, but he still had a lot of tea leaves, thinking of this He was a little moved, and finally went out with the kettle to make a cup of tea.

At this moment, Jiang Chaqing was the only one in the room. He held the cup and took a sip of tea. The quiet environment made him feel more relaxed than ever. He sat lazily on the back of the sofa, staring blankly at the front.

After an unknown amount of time, the cup suddenly fell out of Jiang Chaqing's hands, and the body of the cup rolled to the ground with a crisp sound, and the tea splashed all over the floor, but Jiang Chaqing didn't seem to notice it, and remained motionless.

"Pa-ta--" the door was opened from the outside, and the sunlight shone in through the wider and wider gap, but it was quickly closed again. Apart from Jiang Chaqing, there was another man in the dark room at this time, and he walked in. He stopped in front of Jiang Chaqing, and seemed to look at it for a while. He reached out and took off the sunglasses that Jiang Chaqing had been wearing all the time, only to see that Jiang Chaqing's eyes were closed tightly as if he was asleep.

The man picked up Jiang Chaqing and walked upstairs. In addition to the slight sound of footsteps in the house, there was also a happy tune overflowing from his mouth.
