No. 07, District Nine

Li Yan resisted the urge to beat Chu Huan and told him that he didn't like people and beasts.

He really didn't want to chat with this annoying little bastard, so he had to urge him to finish eating and send him home. Chu Huan quickly took a few mouthfuls of rice in the bowl, and after drinking the last sip of wine, he followed Li Yan to the table car.

"Little Uncle, why did Uncle Zhang tell me that from District [-] to District [-] you have to go through District [-] and District [-], but you always send me through District [-]?" Chu Huan sat in the car and looked at the dark outside. The street flinched involuntarily.

"District [-] is more chaotic than District [-]. You, a rich man like you, stand on the streets of District [-] and District [-], as if you were stripped naked and standing among wolves." Li Yan looked ahead, his tone flat , didn't mean to scare Chu Huan at all.

Chu Huan swallowed, and shrank even smaller: "Then why do you dare to go this way?"

Chu Huan thought that Li Yan would tell him that he was not afraid of anything because he knew martial arts or could use weapons, but Li Yan didn't.

"Save gas money."

"..." Chu Huan didn't ask anything.

"Little uncle, you are so rich, why do you still go to the Ninth District to be a cowherd?"

Li Yan didn't answer him right away, but hesitated for a while before saying: "The cowherd saves trouble and makes a lot of money."

"..."

"Why does little uncle have short blonde hair?"

Li Yan finally became impatient. He frowned slightly and glanced at Chu Huan, then continued to stare at the road ahead: "Chu Huan, why do you have so many questions? If you have so many questions during class, you can go to the first district to work sooner or later."

Chu Huan buried his head deeper, and muttered softly: "My little uncle said the same thing..."

"I have to say, Chu Yu said something human on this point."

Chu Huan looked at Li Yan slightly in surprise, and said, is it really appropriate to slander a little uncle in front of his nephew?

"I wanted to ask a long time ago, what kind of love and hatred do you two have?" Chu Huan was also wronged. When he mentioned Li Yan in front of Chu Yu, Chu Yu either scolded him or didn't give him good looks. When Chu Yu was mentioned in front of Li Yan, Li Yan was always sneering and sarcastic.

"It's nothing, except that your little uncle is a little stupid. Everything else is fine."

"..." Chu Huan was about to shut up.

Chu Huan felt that the road from District [-] to District [-] had never been so long, and he was almost suffocated by the awkward atmosphere, until he saw the Chu family mansion before he breathed a sigh of relief.

This time Chu Huan was not as drunk as he was last time, and he still had no problem walking, but he was a little excited and slightly outspoken. Li Yan told him that if he didn't want to be taught a lesson by Mr. Chu, he had better not say a few words , hurried back to the room to sleep, Chu Huan also told Li Yan to be careful, and the two separated.

On the way back to the Ninth District, Li Yan felt a little flustered for some reason. He just wanted to go back quickly. After more than an hour's journey, he only drove for 10 minutes to arrive at the store. When he entered the door, he didn't even have time to respond to Bai Yan's greeting. went upstairs.

Li Yan pushed open the door violently, found the button in the dark and turned on the light, seeing that the layout of the room was still the same as before he left, although he felt strange, he couldn't find anything wrong.

Is he really thinking too much?

Li Yan squeezed the roots of the mountain and sighed, maybe he was too tired.

He took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, walked to the bed, and gently pushed the wall on the left side of the bed. Behind the wall was another room with a simple layout. That was his real bedroom. Li Yancai Not in the bed he's slept with a lot of people.

Xu is in the recovery period and is more prone to fatigue than usual. After a simple wash, Li Yan lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Li Yan slept until noon the next day. District [-] is always so dark, and so is noon. Only in the afternoon, the afterglow of the setting sun will occasionally shine into District [-]. When Li Yan is in a daze, he always thinks about seven [-]. The question of whether the people in the nine districts are more or less calcium deficient.

After washing up, he walked out of the bedroom and returned to the room where he had been 'working'. He took a bag of milk from the refrigerator, put it in his mouth and started drinking. While drinking, he walked around the room, and suddenly his eyes fixed on the window. .

Li Yan frowned slightly, and quickly walked to the fish tank, seeing Hua Hua, whom he had raised for more than a year, was now soaking lifelessly in the water, Li Yan tapped the fish tank with his fingers, and the Hua Hua inside was not as frightened as usual , still motionless.

He picked up the flowers with a small fishing net. The dark blue ball was very beautiful in the water, but it was not so good-looking when it was fished out. Li Yan went downstairs holding the flowers.

"Bai Yan, Hua Hua seems to be dead."

Bo Yan was yawning, but when he heard Li Yan's words, he stopped immediately, closed his mouth after a long time, stood up, and went to carefully look at the flowers in Li Yan's hand.

"How did you die?" Bo Yan poked Hua Hua's body.

"I don't know, I died when I woke up in the morning." After thinking for a while, he said, "I feed a fixed amount of fish food every day, and I change the water when the time comes. Could it be that I died of old age?"

"Hmm..." Bai Yan looked at the Huahua in Li Yan's hand with a dignified expression. She knew that Huahua was a very important pet to Li Yan. Li Yan brought back a fish from the eighth district a year ago. I showed off in a circle, saying that Li Yan's fish is beautiful, and Li Yan named it Huahua, and took good care of it every day. Everyone in the shop knew that Li Yan cherished his fish. Now that it is dead, it is really A sad thing.

Huahua died, the cause of death is unknown, Li Yan is not well.

Today, on the 07th, I still didn't go to work.

Li Yan found a place to bury Huahua in the afternoon. He stood in front of the mound and thought it was not good. He dug out Huahua's body, rinsed it, and then took it back to the house to burn it. He originally wanted to have a cremation. It died with a sense of ritual, but Li Yan found that the more it burned, the more fragrant it became. After staring at Huahua's corpse for 10 minutes and thinking about the question of "can bettas be eaten?", Li Yan threw Huahua into the trash can downstairs Li, forget it, he doesn't want to eat his pet's corpse, although the taste is really tempting...

It was another tiring day, Li Yan lay paralyzed on the sofa, watching the setting sun outside the window getting weaker and darker, the sky getting darker and darker, another day would pass meaninglessly.

Recently, he feels really tired and has no mood to work. Thinking that he hasn't been home for a long time, why don't he take a few days off and go home to see his mother. As for the people in District [-], are they happy?

What's the matter with him?

While listening to the retro music on the phonograph, Li Yan tapped the sofa with his fingers slowly. It did not know when it started to rain outside the house, and the sound was pattering, which made people feel very comfortable.

Just when he was about to fall asleep with his eyes closed, he heard the sound of the doorknob turning. Li Yan opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door. Past experience told Li Yan.The person behind the door was probably Chu Yu, because he had stayed in District [-] for more than two years, and it was the first time he saw someone who entered his house without knocking.

Unsurprisingly, it was Chu Yu who came in. Li Yan looked unhappy when he saw Chu Yu, frowning and wanted to say: "Get lost..."

Before Li Yan finished speaking, he was interrupted, and Chu Yu waved his hand at him: "Hey, stop, you want me to get out, right?" Chu Yu closed the door behind her back while speaking.

"You know you still come in?" Li Yan has been very tired recently, and the pet he had raised for more than a year died, so it's no wonder that Chu Yu didn't get scolded when he came to see him at this time.

"I just want to come and see you." Chu Yu didn't regard herself as an outsider at all, wandering around the room very naturally, touched the teacup from time to time, praised Li Yan's purchase, and thought about the small table lamp, saying that the light is beautiful .

Li Yan had no intention of talking to Chu Yu from the beginning to the end, Li Yan ignored him, Chu Yu was having fun by herself, it was like a treasure hunt in the room, picking up what she saw and thinking about it.

Until Chu Yu picked up the rush in the bedside table and asked Li Yan what it was, Li Yan finally couldn't help it: "What do you want to do?"

"I just want to come and see you." Chu Yu looked at the small bottle in his hand again, and asked again: "What is this?"

"...You don't know?" Li Yan suspected that Chu Yu just came here looking for trouble, how could he not know what it was.

"I know you. I'm just asking you to see if you can answer me."

Li Yan wanted to kill Chu Yu already.

Chu Yu put rush into the bedside table, turned around the room again, and when he reached the window, he turned around and asked, "Hey, where did the fish in your fish tank go?"

Unexpectedly, he observed his room quite meticulously. He even remembered that there was a fish in that place. It was a rare time for Li Yan to answer Chu Yu's question: "Dead."

"Dead? How did he die?" Chu Yu was surprised.

"I don't know, he died today." When Huahua was mentioned, Li Yan began to feel depressed again.

"It's a pity, it's still pretty."

After Chu Yu finished speaking, she sat on the sofa next to Li Yan.

Li Yan really didn't want to get too close to him, so he quickly stood up to leave, but Chu Yu grabbed his wrist.

"Don't go, I just miss you, come and see you."

"Huh?!" Li Yan raised his voice a lot, and looked back at Chu Yu with a look of surprise.

"I don't feel well if I don't see you for a day. I came all the way from District Two just to see you, listen to you, and smell you."

"...Did you see a doctor?" Li Yan suspected that Chu Yu had mental problems.

Chu Yu shook her head, stared at Li Yan seriously and said, "Do you think I'm sick?"

Li Yan didn't hesitate at all, and replied directly: "My mother thinks you are sick." After speaking, he shook off Chu Yu's hand: "Where did you come from? Get back, I don't have the heart to make trouble with you today."

"I didn't come to make trouble with you, I just missed you."

Li Yan looked at Chu Yu with a serious and affectionate face, and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. It's so stupid that he can say anything just to sleep...

As the two talked, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, and two thunderbolts flashed from time to time.

"Chu Yu, get the hell out of here."

Chu Yu pointed out the window: "It's raining outside." At this moment, a bolt of lightning flashed cooperatively.

"It's none of my business if it rains." It's better to kill you idiot.

"I'll get wet when I go out, can you let me sleep here with you? I promise I won't do anything." Probably to make Li Yan believe in herself, Chu Yu even raised three fingers to swear.
