co-living together

Chapter 3 Awkward Getting Along

Lin Zhinian was glad that his little uncle still had a conscience. Seeing him move in, he called over generously and said, "You rest for a few days, and I will come to enslave you in a few days." Thinking of the hard times ahead, Lin Zhinian Zhinian couldn't help sighing in the room, why did he have such a little uncle?

Hearing all the noises outside the door, Lin Zhinian couldn't help but look outside.Although the door was closed, but thinking that it was the little landlord, there was another burst of anger.A clean person, but living in a mess.Moreover, there is no basic etiquette, and it makes me upset just looking at it.

what's the situation?Seeing a white thing slowly revealing a sharp corner and flying in through the crack of the door, Lin Zhinian straightened up in surprise.Paper?Lin Zhinian went up to pick it up and took a look. Why was it that contract again?The content has not changed at all, the word "Si Yi" is still written stroke by stroke on the left side.Lin Zhinian tightened his grip and suddenly realized.

He had never rented a house before, but he always felt that something was missing, and it turned out to be this.The contract should be in duplicate and kept mutually to avoid disputes.But why didn't this man give it to him with his own hands?Do you not want to talk to him face to face, or do you feel embarrassed for doing something wrong?Lin Zhinian felt that he was a handsome guy who everyone liked, but he would rather believe that it was the latter.

Laying in the house with nothing to do, Lin Zhinian unexpectedly cared about this peculiar landlord.He studied software design, so he was always a bit out of the way, and when he came here, he broke Si Yi's wifi password in a very unreasonable way.Followed the IP to browse around Si Yi's computer, except for games and novels, I couldn't stop spending time on the Internet anyway.In short, in a week, the number of times the door next door is opened and closed can be counted on the fingers.

Otaku is also a legal existence in society, Lin Zhinian understood, but found a lot of interesting things.

He got up late that day, and when he went to the bathroom, he found Si Yi was washing his teeth. He had obviously finished brushing his teeth, but when he saw him standing at the door, he squeezed out toothpaste and brushed it again.Another time, when he was reading a newspaper on the sofa, he vaguely heard the sound of the door opening, but when he looked up, he found that the doors on both sides were closed.Another example, one day when he came back from the outside and saw Si Yi in the living room, he was thinking whether to say hello, when he saw that man scurrying into the room like a rabbit...

Is this landlord hiding from him?

But Lin Zhinian soon broke away from this leisurely life, and began to work and travel day and night.When I got home, I started snoring as soon as I touched the pillow. My life was miserable, and I didn't have time to think about it.

Si Yi also noticed this, he hadn't heard the sound of that person walking in the living room for a long time.Since Lin Zhinian moved in, he has become trembling, paying special attention to that person's movements, for fear that he will do something messy at home.When you wake up, concentrate on pricking up your ears and listening to what that person is doing.Surprisingly, Lin Zhinian also seemed to be a person who liked to stay indoors, and this alone made Si Yi feel relieved.

Si Yi's house has been in for a long time, and he is not very good at getting along with others.Especially when speaking, sometimes the conjunctions are clearly formed in the head, and the tongue starts to get knotted when it reaches the mouth.Only when facing He Qiang and Yu Lin, can he say a few words casually.So try to avoid contact with Lin Zhinian.In this way, it is no different from the previous days.

But imperceptibly, he could still feel Lin Zhinian's existence - there were two more checked towels on the towel rack, an extra set of toiletries by the sink, clothes that didn't belong to his style were hung up on the balcony from time to time...

However, there seems to be nothing unacceptable.

The Spring Festival in 11 was on February 2rd, and even He Qiang had to go home to celebrate the New Year, and Yu Lin even bought a ticket early to board the train, and Si Yi began to feel empty again.Without the two of them, even if you can see the street full of red outside the window, the days are dull.He misses, misses, rings - Si Yi is hungry.Looking at the mountains of snacks and instant noodles, Si Yi rubbed his twitching stomach in distress.

It's a really sad story.

Originally, the second day after He Qiang and the others left, Si Yi became interested and wanted to show off his talents.His parents kept this set as a two-bedroom apartment, well-decorated, complete with home appliances, and even bought all the pots and pans for the kitchen.There are ready-made takeaways, so it's natural that they don't want to cook by themselves, not to mention that Si Yi doesn't know how, and he never goes into the kitchen except to boil water.Now that the situation is pressing, it doesn't hurt to try it.Si Yi picked out a few interesting dishes on the Internet and searched for recipes, made a list together with rice, oil and salt, and went to the supermarket.

There are a variety of seasonings and ingredients on the shelves, and Si Yi is dazzled as soon as he enters the supermarket.Take out the prepared lists from your pocket, and search for them one by one.But...

Which one should I buy, soybean oil or peanut oil?

Is chicken essence better or monosodium glutamate better?

Light soy sauce or dark soy sauce?

When buying vegetables, do you buy vegetables in safe boxes or sprinkled with water?

Should the meat be bought from the thigh or the waist?

……

Si Yi just stared at the shelves in front of him in a daze, as questions came one after another, his mind was in a mess.

The clerk in the supermarket was also quite strange. The half-grown boy just stood there, with the expression on his face as if he was making a major decision, and he looked particularly tangled.Just as I was about to step forward to ask if there was anything I could do to help, the person left.

Suo Xing Si Yi still has a little IQ to speak of. He packed a small bag of loose rice and bought some cooked food.No matter how you don't understand, it is still possible to cook with a rice cooker.As for whether it was porridge or dry rice, Si Yi didn't care at all.But the rice is not like food, it is not like a dish, except it is white or crimson, and I don't know what aspect of Si Yi's memory has been poked, so he threw his chopsticks in shock.

Lin Zhinian is neither a parent nor a mother, but a little uncle who is celebrating the Chinese New Year allows him to go on a business trip.Looking at the lights and festoons on the street, Lin Zhinian had something on his mind, but he didn't know what it was, but he was very eager to go back to the shared house and have a good sleep.Think about it carefully, New Year's Eve - doesn't this day happen to be the time when he has rented the house for a full month?Lin Zhinian immediately packed his luggage, and said to the man addicted to the game: "The landlord is pressing me for rent, so I'll go back first."

When I got home, it was exactly 10 o'clock in the evening.Lin Zhinian was hungry on the road, so he passed by the supermarket and bought a bag of frozen dumplings. Seeing that the light in Si Yi's room was still on, he cooked a bowl and brought it over.Because it was inconvenient to hold it with both hands, Lin Zhinian felt that Si Yi would not mind if he looked like that, so he kicked the door with his feet.

"Bam—"

Lin Zhinian staggered, and the soup in the bowl spilled a lot on his hands, and he took a breath because it was so hot.Why is this door hidden? !Stabilizing his figure, Lin Zhinian smiled awkwardly at Si Yi.Well, this time there is no strange smell in the house, and there is no garbage on the ground, um...

"Well, I cooked dumplings, would you like some?" Lin Zhinian lowered the bowl to show Si Yi.

I don't know what Si Yi was thinking, and he kept silent, Lin Zhinian became a little restless——was he acting affectionate again in the middle of the night?

Woe to him!Lin Zhinian put the bowl heavily on the desk in front of him, "Here's here for you, come down and eat if you want to eat."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Lin Zhinian closed the door, he vaguely heard Si Yi say something, the voice was soft as if scratching his ear, probably, "Thank you".

Si Yi stared at the steaming bowl of dumplings with a complicated expression, his empty heart seemed to be filled with some warm emotion for the past few days, and he was extremely satisfied.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Si Yi woke up early to send text messages to celebrate the New Year.Last night, I was probably full and sleepy. I fell asleep before 12 o'clock and missed the time.Si Yi racked his brains to edit the text message long ago, and the only recipients were He Qiang and Yu Lin.Now, there is another Lin Zhinian.

Si Yi walked out of the room, the man was changing shoes at the door last night, the man in a suit was very energetic.I saw him turn around, smiled and said to himself: "Happy New Year."

Si Yi quickly replied: "Happy New Year!"

Maybe there was something urgent, the man raised his hand and glanced at his watch, opened the door and said, "I put the rent and utility bills on the living room table, and I don't know how much the utility bills are, so I'll give it to you. If you have less, just let me know." .”

Si Yi watched Lin Zhinian leave, the corners of his mouth were so curved that even he didn't know.

Looking back, I counted the money on the table, 750 yuan—more, and 20 more.It's not a big deal, Si Yi is just ashamed of wanting to occupy his own place at that moment.With no change in hand, Si Yi sent a text message to Lin Zhinian, saying that there was too much to save for next month.

Si Yi had other ideas, he planned to invite Lin Zhinian to dinner because of the dumpling meal last night.

At noon, no one came back, Si Yi ate 2 pieces of bread;

In the evening, when no one came back, Si Yi made some braised beef noodles;

The next day, when no one came back, Si Yi went out to replenish snacks;

……

On the 6th day, He Qiang came back, and on the 8th day Yu Lin came back, and Si Yi and Ren had a lively meal.

The warm relationship with Lin Zhinian cooled down unknowingly, and he returned to the strange situation at the beginning.
