Volume 1, Chapter 6, The Girl at the Opposite Door
I drove Lin Feifei's Tesla back to my former "home".
Standing at the door, looking at the lonely home, I was in a daze.
Kuang Li has moved away, but she actually didn't take anything away. After all, she has lived a good life with a superior person, and these rags in the past are not visible to her.
After nine years of love, everything is like a dream. Now that the dream has woken up, we have also parted.
Although I acted careless in front of Lin Feifei, when I suddenly faced the empty house, loneliness trapped me firmly like an invisible net, and I could not escape.
I remember that the novel has not been updated today, and it was interrupted yesterday. If it is interrupted for another day today, the attendance will be ruined this month. Although I have no idea, I still gritted my teeth and turned on the computer for the sake of these hundreds of dollars.
When I was working, writing novels was my hobbies. I was updating them casually and didn’t care about them at all. But now it’s different. Reality makes me bow, even if it costs a few hundred yuan, it’s enough to make me bow.
I opened a can of beer, typing while drinking, and after updating today's chapter, I raised it back and pulled the quilt to cover my head and fell asleep.
Maybe the impact of the past two days has been too great. Not long after I lay down, I fell asleep in a daze.
I dreamed of Kuang Li, and the past fragments kept reappearing in the dream. These fragments turned into substantial ropes, tied me up and gradually sinking. I desperately called Kuang Li to save me, but she was indifferent and watched me sinking bit by bit.
I woke up in fear, and when I woke up, I found myself covered in sweat and breathing in fresh air.
After a while, I finally recovered. I took a little panda and took a breath. After a long time of stuffiness, I vomited it out gently.
Cigarettes carry melancholy and burn quietly.
Tobacco is like my youth, and my whole emotional life is burning out little by little.
I repeatedly recalled that dream, looked around, and the happy little life of the two of them kept coming to my eyes.
The little beauty that was once imprinted in my heart has now become smoke from the lungs, suffocating me little by little.
Maybe, I really want to start a new life.
Looking at the cigarette butts left at my fingertips, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. The cigarettes I had quit for her now are now picked up because she picked them up.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
In the midst of loss of consciousness, a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.
I pulled my slippers and walked over to open the door. The person who came to Zhou Shutong, who lived next door.
We have lived in the opposite door for more than a year. Every time she goes on a business trip, she asks Kuang Li and I to take care of her dog. We are all young people and get familiar with each other after a while. The three of us have a WeChat group. When everyone can't go out for a while, they often share each other's food supplies.
Zhou Shutong is very beautiful, but she is always alone.
When I was joking with Kuang Li to introduce her to her, Kuang Li rolled her eyes. She mocked me that the people wear big brands, but they only raise them like me, the poor guys!
I was speechless.
She seems to be quite busy with work and hasn't looked at her much recently. Today I took the initiative to knock on the door, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
"You are going on a business trip again? Do you leave Zaizai to my house?"
Zhou Shutong shook her head gently, a big wave shaking gently, and she looked at me worriedly, "Kuang Li sent me a message. I already know about you. I guess you haven't eaten yet. I'll order some takeaway to eat together!"
Only then did I notice the takeaway in her hand.
I forced a smile and curled my head inside, "Yes, come in!"
She walked in openly and accidentally touched the mouse when she put the takeaway on the coffee table.
The computer exited the screensaver, the screen turned on, and the content on the web page just fell into her sight. She exclaimed: "Are you writing a novel?"
I walked over with a wry smile and said casually: "Haha, yes, it's just a small flop."
Zhou Shutong shook her head, "You are so humble, you are already very good at writing. What have you written?"
"The Rules of the Flight Attendant" and "My Flight Attendant Wife". I scratched my hair, a little embarrassed.
Zhou Shutong's eyes lit up suddenly, and it was like a turbulent flame burning inside, without hiding the surprise in his tone.
"Oh, you wrote these two books! I have read them several times. You are so talented. At that time, I was thinking, how talented this author has to write such a good book, but I didn't expect that this person is far away from the sky and is close to you."
I felt a little embarrassed and laughed dryly: "I didn't expect that I had female fans. If my brothers and sisters from the QQ group knew about it, they would probably be greedy."
Zhou Shutong's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she did not hide her appreciation for me: "Really, I read this book several times at that time. You wrote it too delicately. Interview you, how did you think of the title of this book?"
The more she said that, I felt more embarrassed. She grabbed my hair and laughed dryly, "To be honest, I started out to attract some people who understand it, but I didn't expect that as I wrote it, I turned into pure love."
Zhou Shutong's mouth curled up, and a seductive curve was raised, "To be honest, I also rushed to the title of the book at the beginning."
“…”
Zhou Shutong opened the lunch box one by one and kept picking up food for me, "Master author, let's eat more. No one can suffer if they suffer."
"I'm so full that I'm so strong to make a comeback," she added.
"..." I smiled awkwardly.
From last night to now, I have eaten almost nothing. When I see what I eat, my stomach rumbles and screams in a bad mood.
I laughed dryly a few embarrassedly, "Don't mind, I really haven't had a meal all day."
Zhou Shutong smiled slightly, her face clean without a sarcastic expression, "It doesn't matter, if it were me, it might be worse than you."
I couldn't help but feel moved.
After knowing her for so long, her feelings have always been a mystery. A woman as beautiful as her must have no shortage of suitors, but she is always alone.
Zhou Shutong and I have always had a lot of chats, but because I have a family, we have always kept a distance. Although the three of us are in the same group, I have even added her on WeChat and always @ her in the group if there is anything.
I opened my mouth, hesitated for a moment, suppressed the curiosity in my heart, thinking that I would forget it, I am still crossing the river with a mud Buddha! How can I still be in the mood to think about other people's emotional life?
After thinking about this, I buried my head in the process of eating, and in the end, Zhou Shutong took the initiative to break the silence atmosphere.
"How is your job?"
I smiled bitterly, chewed the rice without any taste, and sighed, "It's not so beautiful. I don't care about my resume at all. I don't want to go and harass me like a candy every day."
After pausing, I laughed at myself, "Do you think I'm too picky? I don't even have a job now, and I'm still picky about this guy?"
Zhou Shutong shook her head gently, put down her chopsticks, and looked at me seriously, and the sound was like a breeze blowing through the wind chime.
"No, you are right. Of course, you need to adjust your mentality when you just lost your job and just take a break. People have been working for decades and how many months of rest? Besides, you still have a side job. Even if you don't go to work, you don't have a job at all. It's just going to work for others to work for yourself."
My heart warmed up, and it seemed as if something had melted in my heart.
I have been unemployed for two months. The reason why I dare not tell Kuang Li is that I am afraid that she will poke my backbone and urge me to go to work every day. When I just graduated from college, I couldn’t find a job. She has entered the top 500 internship and looks arrogant in front of me every day.
"If you need help, please give me a copy of your resume."
