Pull

"Sit wherever you want, you're welcome." After finishing speaking, the homeowner, who was wondering where the teacup had been randomly placed by himself and looking around, suddenly focused his eyes on the visitor.

Didn't it tell her not to be cautious? Why does she look like an enemy?This is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.

The owner couldn't help smiling, walked over and pulled in the bewildered guest who was still standing by the door, bent down to pick up the magazines and books piled on the sofa, and raised his chin to indicate that she could sit in the vacant seat.

"Thank you..." There was obvious hesitation in the inaudible voice. The pampered lady had probably never been to such a messy and simple residence, so she hesitated when she sat down, her buttocks only touched the edge a little.

The homeowner threw aside the magazines in his arms, dragged out a small cardboard box from under the computer desk, took out several empty plastic bottles, and finally took out an unopened bottle of mineral water.

"There's no drink, let's just make do with it."

"Well...no need." Coco shook her head lightly.

The owner didn't force it, he opened the bottle cap and took a sip, wiped the water marks on his chin, looked at the guest who was sitting upright, and asked with a smile, "Aren't you tired from sitting like this?"

The other party gave her an uncomfortable smile back in embarrassment, and whispered: "No, no."

"By the way, the bathroom is over there, please feel free." Even without the owner's guidance, Coco had already seen the unimaginably terrible bathroom.Why is there a small mushroom sticking out from under the wooden door whose original color cannot be seen?Don't tell her that it was specially bred for viewing...

"I don't think I'll wash anymore..."

"I said you're welcome." The homeowner thought for a while, ran to the bed and lifted the pillow, took out a neatly folded bath towel from underneath, turned his head and smiled smugly, "A few days ago, I took advantage of I asked for it from the boss when I bought it in the store, but I haven't used it yet."

Coco really wants to say, then you can keep it and use it for yourself later, I don't want to take what others like.

The owner squatted down and dragged out a suitcase from under the bed, and pulled out a plain dress, made of spinning material, with layers of lace at the hem, like blooming buds.

"You like white, and this skirt suits you too."

"But……"

"It was given to me on my birthday. I don't like wearing skirts, and I haven't worn them once."

In fact, Coco wants to say, I don't like low cuts, and I don't like high waists, and why is the design style of long skirts, but the fabric used for miniskirts?

It's only natural that you haven't worn it once!

"I want to wear pants." It was the first time that the guest, who had been restrained and nervous since stepping into the door, made such a request in such a calm manner.

The homeowner froze for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, you go take a shower first, and I'll check if there are any pants that fit you."

Coco suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and stared at the wooden door with mushrooms growing on it. It was not a problem with the skirt or pants, but that she didn't want to use this bathroom to take a bath at all.May I ask if you can rewind it, she wants to say goodbye, she wants to leave.

"Are you looking for slippers, over there." The clear and clear smile was filled with pure friendliness, once she refused, she...wouldn't show that smile to her again, right?

Coco dragged herself into the bathroom with a new bath towel and kicked a little oversized slippers, only to find that what she saw with her own eyes was completely different from what she had imagined. It was not bad, but very bad.

A small single room with low rent can’t be beautiful and luxurious. It’s good to not have to go to the end of the aisle to compete with other tenants for the same public bathroom. It’s not bad to raise a few Xiaoqiang in the gaps where the walls are covered with moss and lime. on what?

"Wow——" Coco rushed out with a look of panic, rushed to the owner, pointed at the bathroom and screamed, "There are cockroaches... there are cockroaches!"

The homeowner looked at her suspiciously: "Have you never seen a cockroach?"

At the same time, Xiaoqiang, who was frightened, lost his sense of direction for a moment, slipped out of the bathroom, and crawled along the foot of the wall.

Coco screamed again, grabbed the owner's arm, hid behind her and wailed: "Don't, don't, don't!"

Xiaoqiang was startled by the sudden sound waves, he didn't know which foot tripped over which foot, and suddenly fell on his back, struggling desperately.

The owner walked over and stepped on it, and the world finally returned to peace.

"Are you afraid of cockroaches?" She turned to look at her, her dark eyes filled with a deep smile.

Coco faltered: "It doesn't count..."

The homeowner bent down and pinched Xiaoqiang's tentacles to lift it up. Coco quickly let go of her arms and stepped back three feet away from her.

"What are you doing?!" Coco asked tremblingly.

The homeowner didn't answer. He carried Xiaoqiang's body to the bathroom, threw it into the toilet, flushed it, and washed his hands.

"There is a business hotel nearby." The owner wiped the water from his hands to the sides of his trousers when he came out of the bathroom. "I used to work there. The environment is good and the rooms are clean."

Coco looked at her unchanged smiling face, bit her lower lip and bowed her head towards the bathroom.

When the door was closed, Coco's heart was at war with heaven and man, and he suddenly heard the deep voice sounding through the wooden door.

"I'm right outside, if anything happens, I'll rush in to save you."

So, even when Coco saw the two unmistakable tentacles of Xiaoqiang protruding from the cracks of the bricks where the lime fell, he tried his best to suppress the great fear in his heart, took off his clothes hastily, took a bath hastily, and put on hastily again, his gaze never changing for a moment. Dare to move away from the slightly swaying long beard, as if the line of sight can block the gap, preventing the evil Xiaoqiang from showing up.

In about 2 minutes, Coco broke out of the door wrapped in a bath towel, feeling anxious at the first moment, and relieved at the next moment. It was just a bath, but it was like being reborn after a catastrophe.

The homeowner was still looking for the suitcase dragged out from under the bed, and said in surprise, "Why did it get washed so quickly? The pants haven't been found yet."

Coco looked back at the tentacles that had disappeared in the cracks of the bricks, yelled in his heart that something was wrong, his eyes moved half a minute as if consciously, and suddenly saw that Xiaoqiang, who was avoiding it, had climbed onto the bathroom door at some point.

"Again, here comes another one!" Coco rushed towards the owner like flying.

"Ah, I found it, but it's pressed to the bottom and it's a little wrinkled..."

"It's here, it's here!" Coco didn't care about the trousers, and only asked the owner to reappear the heroic posture just now, and send this little strong to the west as well.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the house was indifferent, and said with a smile: "I didn't come, I didn't come, aren't I still walking on the door?"

Coco was in a hurry, looked down at the bath towel wrapped around her body, then at the clean clothes and pants prepared for her by the owner, and asked distressedly, "How can I go in and change clothes when it's there?"

"You can change it here." The owner said surprisingly.

"No!" Coco folded her hands on her chest, startled and frightened.

The owner of the house is very speechless, there must be swimming lessons in school days, isn't it a bunch of girls crowded in the locker room to change clothes?Moreover, the place is small, not only being stared at, but also some physical contact is unavoidable. Could it be that this person is yelling like he is now?

"It's okay if I don't look at you, put on your clothes quickly." As he said, the owner of the house turned his back.

Coco was still a little unhappy, and whispered, "Wouldn't it be better if you beat it to death?"

"It's always a bit lonely to live alone, but it won't be too deserted with its company."

"I'd rather be quiet."

Coco finished dressing as quickly as possible. The owner of the house is relatively tall, and the clothes and trousers looked a bit loose. Fortunately, the relaxed and loose Japanese and Korean styles are popular recently, which is also in fashion.

"Ok?"

"All right."

The owner turned around and his eyes lit up when he saw Coco.

"A senior told me that you can make a lot of money doing portraits for others, maybe enough to pay the rent."

Coco, who didn't understand why the owner suddenly said this, opened his eyes wide in doubt.

"But I'm not good at learning. If I set up a stall rashly, I'm afraid I will lose customers. Even if I make progress in the future, there will always be people who will remember my previous failures."

"That's why you went to the square to practice your painting skills?" Speaking of which, although Coco has seen her painting in the square twice, he still doesn't know what she is painting.

Is it the constant pedestrians or the white pigeons with their backs facing the sunset, or...the unchanging skyscrapers standing around the square?

"The square is hot and sunny. It's almost July, and you might suffer from heat stroke." The owner glanced at Coco casually, and said casually, "You are still in good proportions, and you are a good model."

Does being proportionate mean good looking?Or is it just literally... just not meaningful?

Coco took out his phone to check the time, and couldn't help but anxiously said: "Ah, if you don't rush there, maybe they will get off work, and I have to leave."

"your clothes……"

"No more."

The owner wanted to say, I will send it to you for dry cleaning later, and you can get it back tomorrow.But when she heard Coco's answer, she stopped talking, just nodded, and the smile on her face faded.

Coco thought that the landlord wanted to help her wash the clothes, so she felt so sorry, so she just didn't forget it. Then she thought that she was wearing her clothes now, and for some reason, she felt a little bit of joy in her heart. When she walked to the door, she stopped and turned around. The head said: "I will wash your clothes tonight, tomorrow..."

"No need to wash it." The owner smiled, but his eyes were a bit cold.

Coco keenly sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, and just looked at her helplessly, biting her lower lip helplessly.

"There's no need to pay it back." The owner gently closed the door.The last thing that caught Coco's sight was her warm smile.

The author has something to say:

Speaking of Xiaoqiang, I really hate him unparalleled. I remember more than one time, in the dead of night, I suddenly flew in from the window... So, every summer, Oudi's room is filled with magic pens...
