Lin Baici parked the car in the parking lot of the Yonghui supermarket next to Haijing Institute of Technology, went in and bought some fruits and pastries, and then went to the counselor's house.
When passing by a residential street, a group of old men were gathering under a streetlight to watch. There were two policemen in front of them, asking about some information.
Lin Baici didn't like to join in the fun, but Gu Qingxiang lived nearby and passed by this street every day when commuting to get off work, so Lin Baici walked over.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
Lin Baici smiled, calling someone, and handed over an apple.
The bald man waved his hand without taking the apple, and then looked Lin Baici up and down: "Are you a student of Haijing Institute of Technology?"
"Um!"
Lin Baici pushed the apple to the uncle.
When the bald man heard this, his vigilance became much lower, mainly because Haijing Institute of Technology is a good university. In his first impression, the quality of the college students in this school should be quite high.
"What's going on here?"
Lin Baici looked at the telephone pole through the gap between the crowd and saw a blood stain on it.
"There is a cardboard box under the telephone pole, and there is a litter of kittens in it. Someone must have abandoned it."
The bald man said: "I heard from chess friends that it has been around for about three or four days, and some kind-hearted college students have fed it ham, milk, etc. But today, all my wild cats are dead!"
"How did you die?"
Lin Baici probably guessed that if he died of illness or accident, there would be no need for the police to come to the scene.
"He should have been thrown to death. Anyway, it was quite tragic!"
The bald man shook his head: "I don't know who he is, he does such disgusting things!"
"It must be a pervert!"
"Not just this time today, I heard the sanitation worker say that during this period, he has been seeing the bodies of wild cats one after another. It is probably the same person who did it."
"How could something like this happen in our area?"
The old men were talking a lot, and those who had children at home were even more worried that the pervert who abused wild cats would target their children.
"We will use surveillance to find the person who abused the cat as soon as possible. If you have any clues or see anyone acting suspiciously nearby, you can call us."
The middle-aged policeman reassured: "There is still something like this. Please try not to spread it randomly, otherwise it will become more exaggerated and people will be panicked!"
Lin Baici remembered that Gu Qingxiang often went out to feed wild cats at night a while ago, and he didn't know if he would feed them now.
…
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Gu Qingxiang came out of school after working overtime for a while.
Without Lin Baici, the days have returned to the same routine, going to work, eating, sleeping...
If it weren't for the sake of looking like a normal person and not letting the neighbors notice anything unusual, Gu Qingxiang would even skip eating.
Kitchen waste still has to be available, so Gu Qingxiang started feeding wild cats, also to relieve the boring daily life.
When passing by an alley, Gu Qingxiang walked in. When she got under the telephone pole, she didn't see the cardboard box containing the wild cat.
Just when Gu Qingxiang thought that the wild cat had been adopted by a kind person, she noticed the smell of blood in the air and saw the blood stain on the telephone pole.
"died?"
Gu Qingxiang frowned.
Meow!
When Gu Qingxiang heard the cat meowing, she looked up and saw a calico cat leaping onto the wall of the neighborhood next to her and walking over on cat steps.
call out!
The calico cat jumped down, walked to Gu Qingxiang, circled her twice, and rubbed her trouser legs.
Gu Qingxiang squatted down, touched the calico cat's head, then opened her bag, took out a small bag of cat food, tore open the opening, poured it into the palm of her hand, and fed it to the calico cat.
"Eat something first, and I'll come over to feed you in the evening!"
The calico cat's little tongue licked the palm, feeling moist and itchy.
After feeding the calico cat, Gu Qingxiang got up and walked home.
When I first entered the community, the enthusiastic aunt who had been waiting for a long time came over again.
"Teacher Gu, have you been busy lately?"
"busy!"
Gu Qingxiang was very annoyed by this aunt. Not surprisingly, she wanted to introduce her to a blind date.
"Then you have to pay attention to your health and don't collapse from exhaustion!"
The enthusiastic aunt laughed: "This person should combine work and rest. Only by working hard can he get twice the result with half the effort."
Gu Qingxiang quickened her pace slightly.
"Teacher Gu, my friend has a child who is very handsome and has a successful career. He has recently reached the age to talk about marriage. However, his vision is too high. We have kissed him more than a dozen times and it still doesn't work, so I will
Tell your friends, it’s because he didn’t meet my teacher Gu, otherwise he would have been taken down in one go!”
The enthusiastic aunt had a lotus-tongued tongue. While complimenting Gu Qingxiang, she also stated her purpose.
"I think you are quite boring. How about we make an appointment to meet up this weekend?"
"I have to work overtime on weekends!"
"What about next week?"
"On business trip!"
"It doesn't matter if it's not the weekend, you are qualified to ask that young man to take leave!"
The enthusiastic aunt is stalking her, Gu Qingxiang is good at work, and although she is dressed in a rustic style, she is very pretty, plus she is a foreigner, so if she marries her, she will definitely be easy to handle.
The young man's personal situation is definitely not as good as the enthusiastic aunt's introduction, but it is understandable that when you are a matchmaker, you have to be exaggerated.
"I'm busy every day!"
Gu Qingxiang was already a little impatient: "I really can't spare the time!"
Gu Qingxiang didn't like fussing, and there were many warm memories of being with Lin Baici in that rental house. It was a real loss to move away to avoid this aunt.
"Teacher Gu, your living situation is not right. Is it possible that you will be like this for the rest of your life?"
The enthusiastic aunt advised: "You have to get out of this closed environment and contact people. Even if you can't succeed this time, it can still be an experience!"
"You still have to be cautious when it comes to marriage."
Gu Qingxiang stopped, turned around, and looked at the enthusiastic aunt: "Don't bother me again, I don't want to go on a blind date."
"you have boyfriend?"
The enthusiastic aunt asked.
"..."
Gu Qingxiang was dumbfounded, because Lin Baici hadn't been here for a long time, and it was definitely wrong to talk about her boyfriend.
When the enthusiastic aunt saw Gu Qingxiang's defeat, she showed a proud smile: "Teacher Gu, I'm from here, and we live in the same community, I won't harm you!"
Gu Qingxiang was so annoyed that she clenched her right hand tightly, restraining the urge to get angry.
For the first time, she discovered that a person can be as annoying as a fly.
Pity!
If she hadn't met Lin Baici, she would have killed this woman and left here long ago.
"Haruka!"
The sudden shout that came to her ears was so familiar that Gu Qingxiang's tense nerves instantly relaxed. She turned her head and looked over.
It's Lin Baici!
"Haruka!"
Lin Baici ran over. After he finished cooking, he stayed by the window sill. When he saw Gu Qingxiang, he couldn't help but run down to pick her up.
"Hello, auntie!"
Lin Baici said hello to the enthusiastic aunt.
"Hello, young man, at your age, are you currently studying in college?"
Enthusiastic aunt tests.
“I am currently starting my own business!”
If other people asked, Lin Baici would definitely tell the truth, but in this community, he had to appear as Gu Qingxiang's boyfriend and say that he was a college student, which would have a bad influence.
"The current economic situation is not good, and cash is still king. If you start a business, most of you will lose money!"
The enthusiastic aunt is still very concerned about the economy, although she only reads it from the headlines.
"Ha ha!"
Lin Baici smiled and was too lazy to talk.
"Young man, what does your company do? Self-media?"
The enthusiastic aunt looked at the tall and handsome Lin Baici and suddenly understood why Gu Qingxiang was unwilling to go on a blind date.
Why!
Unexpectedly, this teacher Gu was also a superficial woman.
"Let's go!"
Gu Qingxiang took Lin Baici's arm and quickened her pace.
The enthusiastic aunt stopped.
Oh shit!
I don't believe I can't be a matchmaker.
Teacher Gu, you are made of iron, I will burn it for you!
…
When she got home and opened the door, Gu Qingxiang smelled the aroma of food.
"Have you made fish?"
Gu Qingxiang sniffed.
“Hmm, braised tiger spot!”
Lin Baici gave Gu Qingxiang slippers.
"No, I'll do it myself!"
"Is that aunt annoying you?"
Lin Bai left the bathroom and washed his hands, then went to the kitchen: "If you are unhappy, just confront her directly, there is no need to hold back!"
"good!"
With a smile on her face, Gu Qingxiang followed her to the kitchen and watched Lin Baici put on her apron.
"I'm serious, if something happens, I'll take the responsibility!"
Lin Baici looked at Gu Qingxiang: "I don't want you to be wronged."
"No way!"
Gu Qingxiang leaned against the door frame. She originally thought that she could forget Lin Baici since she hadn't seen him during this period, but when she saw him this time, she realized that she was wrong.
As long as I see Lin Baici, my mood will feel better, just like the sky clears up after the rain.
happy!
The same was true for Lin Baici. As long as he and Gu Qingxiang were together, even if they didn't speak, they would just sit and read in silence, and they would feel comfortable.
Eat, chat, and wash dishes together.
But the main thing was that Gu Qingxiang was washing, and Lin Baici was holding her from behind, mainly trying to cause trouble.
At 9 o'clock, Gu Qingxiang looked at the clock, got up and went to the kitchen.
"Are you going to feed the wild cats?"
"Um!"
"Someone is abusing cats around here recently, please don't feed them!"
Lin Baici reminded: "On the way to and from get off work, try to be careful. If you work overtime too late, it's best to find a companion to go with you."
"Um!"
Gu Qingxiang nodded and put down the bag of cat food.
…
For the next three days, Lin Baici stayed at the counselor's house.
In the past three days, Gu Qingxiang did not feed the cat.
On the fourth day, Lin Baici received a call from Ji Xinyan.
"Where did you go again?"
"friend's house!"
"Can you come back tonight? I want to eat the royal meal!"
Ji Xinyan was convinced. Lin Baici had such a nice big villa and it would be a waste not to stay home every day.
"Just call Aunt Wang and ask her to cook what you want!"
Lin Baici smiled: "With our relationship, why are you so reserved?"
"No, I still want to lose face!"
Ji Xinyan refused: "Besides, I won't be able to eat alone without you!"
"Then call Pei Fei!"
Pei Fei knew that Lin Baici was rich, so he would not be surprised when he came to the big villa. And most importantly, Pei Fei was very strict.
"I'll print a mold of your face and let Pei Fei wear it, right?"
Ji Xinyan was speechless: "You are so busy that you don't even have time to have dinner with me? You won't be living in a woman's house, right?"
Lin Baici wanted to lie, but he didn't want to deceive the tea girl: "What if?"
"Depend on!"
Ji Xinyan was depressed, why am I being so mean?
In the past, Ji Xinyan didn't care, but now, she always feels a little uncomfortable.
"Have you ever played poker?"
oops!
Why do I ask?
Ji Xinyan slapped her cheek lightly.
"It's impossible to fight, it's not that kind of relationship."
Speaking of which, Lin Baici really didn't have the urge to play poker with Gu Qingxiang, it was just an indescribable feeling of love.
Ji Xinyan felt a lot more comfortable when she heard Lin Baici admit it so happily: "Then I won't bother you anymore!"
"I'll go home in the evening and have a big dinner with you!"
"Humph, who needs you to accompany me? I sent a group message on WeChat, and there were more than a dozen licking dogs vying to treat me to dinner!"
Ji Xinyan hung up the phone, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
Great!
I can go to the monitor’s house to play again!
…
Lin Baici rejected Sister Datian's invitation and called Wang Fang and asked her to cook a big meal that night.
The time soon came to 7pm.
"You said this is obviously your home? Why do I feel as comfortable as I am in my own home?"
Ji Xinyan was a little surprised when she changed her shoes. Anyway, she didn't feel restrained at all.
"You can make this your home!"
Lin Baici said indifferently: "Don't you have the key?"
"How embarrassing would it be if your girlfriend saw me?"
Ji Xinyan shook his head.
"Don't worry, I won't bring a woman back!"
"Damn, scumbag!"
Ji Xinyan raised her middle finger: "I thought you would say you only love me in this life!"
"But the more honest you are, the more I like it!"
Ji Xinyan lightly kicked Lin Baici.
"Don't talk nonsense, there are other people at home!"
The two people's voices were not loud, but Wang Fang would hear them.
When the food is cooked, serve it.
Lin Baici opened a bottle of red wine and halfway through eating, the doorbell rang.
Wang Fang went to open the door and then came back to report: "Mr. Lin, this is Boss Wang Shouwang!"
"Boss Wang?"
Lin Baici frowned, he didn't know this person.
"It should be the owner of this community!"
Analysis by Ji Xinyan.
Lin Bai resigned from the reception. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, Wang Shou greeted him warmly before he opened his mouth: "Mr. Lin is indeed young and promising!"
"I'm Wang Shou, I live in Villa No. 32."
Wang Shou put down the Moutai and Zhonghua Cigarettes in his hands. He was Boss Wang of the owner group. With the idea of having many friends and many paths, he took the initiative to meet Lin Baici and get to know him.
At first, Wang Shou did not plan to come because he felt that this was a rich second generation and his parents were the ones who were capable. However, Wu Shitong's visit made him change his mind.
He was the richest man in Haijing, but he respected this young man very much.
Although Wang Shou didn't see it in person, someone in the group posted a short video.
"Hello, Boss Wang!"
Lin Baici invited: "Sit inside. If you don't mind, can we have some food together?"
"Then I won't be polite?"
Boss Wang was acquainted with him personally. When he entered the living room, he saw Ji Xinyan.
Damn it,
Such a beautiful and fashionable girl!
Normally, Boss Wang would look twice at him, but now, he doesn't squint.
