Chapter 15

The car continued to drive, and Lu Xing noticed that Tang Siqing's speed had unknowingly accelerated again. Lu Xing rolled up all the windows, and Tang Siqing in front sneered: "Where are you getting off?"

Lu Xing said the address of his new home, and Tang Siqing said, "Hey, didn't you say you were on the way? Why do you need to take a detour, your new home?"

Lu Xing nodded, slumped in his seat and didn't want to talk. Tang Siqing was driving extremely fast, and he restrained himself when he entered the old city. After a while, he arrived outside the dilapidated neighborhood. Tang Siqing rolled down the window and looked around, tsk tsk Voice: "He has never lived in this kind of house since he was born."

Lu Xing paused while holding the handle, and looked at him quietly. Tang Siqing didn't think it was a big deal, and said, "Tang Siye, I don't think he's seen such a house before. You really can't compare to it at all. on him."

Lu Xing was too lazy to swear, he just sighed in his heart: It's confirmed, Tang Siqing's head is really sick.

He got out of the car, and thanked Tang Siqing politely. Before he finished thanking, the silver-gray car in front of him had already flown away, as if staying in this place for a second longer, he would be infected with some kind of poverty virus .

Lu Xing was physically and mentally exhausted, he hung his head and slowly climbed the stairs. He lives on the fourth floor, neither high nor low. When he is in a good mood, he can climb up quickly, but when he is depressed, every step of the stairs seems to be Chipped the blade.

"You're finally back. I thought I was really going to sleep in the bridge hole tonight."

Lu Xing raised his head abruptly, looking in surprise at his sister, who was squatting in front of his house, dressed in strange clothes, whom he hadn't seen in almost two years——Lu Xin.

Lu Xin was wearing a strange oversized coat, her tights were full of holes of different sizes, and she was wearing canvas shoes.The cold winter didn't seem to make her compromise. She huddled there and shivered, but her eyes were as energetic as ever: "What are you doing in a daze? It's been a long time since I saw you, don't you know me?"

Lu Xing didn't speak, and looked at Lu Xin, then glanced at the electric guitar slung on her back, walked up, took out the key to open the door, and said, "If you run farther, longer, maybe I really don't know you this time."

Lu Xin giggled, followed him into the house, looked around again and again, and clicked his lips: "A Xing, it's been two years since I saw you, why do you still live in this kind of place? It's not as good as you guys here. The university dormitory. Don’t even mention it, it’s worthy of a university, it’s really big!”

Lu Xing asked, "Have you been to our dormitory?"

Lu Xin took a glass of water for herself, took a sip, and sighed, "You didn't answer my phone, so I had no choice but to find your roommate, who is that, Zhao Yiran, right? It's been so long since I haven't seen this kid, he's still so innocent. Just told me your address, hey, he sent me here, you are a good roommate, worth handing in."

Lu Xing didn't speak. He was a little hungry. He took out a pack of instant noodles from the cabinet and boiled it. The seasoning was reduced by half, and the aroma came out. Lu Xin smelled the smell and rushed to the kitchen, smiling:

"This is the taste. You are not good at cooking anything, but the instant noodles are good. Ah... this is the taste! I want to die. Put more peppers and green onions!"

She took out an apple from the refrigerator, didn't care whether it was washed or not, just ate it, staggered out of the kitchen again, after a while Lu Xing came out with delicious instant noodles, Lu Xin wiped his hands and was about to He politely took it and ate it, but Lu Xing turned his body away, picked up the chopsticks and ate by himself without saying a word.

Lu Xin pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She fell back on the sofa, slumped her legs, and gnawed on an apple comfortably. She looked at Lu Xing, who buried his head in eating instant noodles, and no one said a word.

Lu Xin wanted to watch TV, but found that there was no TV in the room, she complained again: "A Xing, why don't you even have a TV in your room, ah...so boring."

"No money" Lu Xing said concisely without raising his head.

Lu Xin laughed: "It's okay, aren't you going to graduate this year? Now you can earn money? It's all your fault. If you did a good job that year, you have to take some postgraduate entrance exams. This delay lasted for several years. .”

Lu Xing finished breathing the instant noodles with a wheeze, and glanced at her: "What are you doing to earn money? Will I pay you back?"

Lu Xin leaned over suddenly, his eyes sparkled, "I'm almost paying off the money, don't you know?"

He really didn't know, Lu Xing didn't speak.

Lu Xin went back again and said, "Our team leader paid it back for me. Have you seen that electric guitar? It's more than 2 yuan, and he also lent me money."

She finished eating the apples, and threw the remaining cores into the trash can from a long distance away. Lu Xing took the bowl into the kitchen to clean it up. Lu Xin groaned hungry, and followed her in, rubbing her face against Lu Xing's. back, and said stickily, "Ah Xing, sister misses you so much."

Lu Xing turned away and said, "No, I really don't have any money for you here, you should go find the rich team leader."

Lu Xin said: "What, you kid, my sister just wants you to finish cooking instant noodles for me. I'm really hungry."

Lu Xing really took out another handful of instant noodles from the cabinet, and said, "Yes."

Lu Xin was overjoyed, and after 5 minutes Lu Xing handed her the hot instant noodles in his hand, and said, "Let's go after eating, you can also see that my place is small and can't accommodate two people, and we've met before, you still Go back to your regiment."

Lu Xin held his face and didn't speak for a while. In this silence, Lu Xing finally relented, and turned to her and said, "Happy New Year, Lu Xin."

Lu Xin raised his head at once, swept away the haze just now, put down the instant noodles and hugged him affectionately: "I knew that A Xing would not leave me alone, I really have no place to live, so I will rest here for a while Take a break, take a break, oh, I'll go back to the regiment tomorrow, okay?"

Even if he objected, it would be of no use to Lu Xin. After these two days, Lu Xing was exhausted physically and mentally, and had no other energy to mediate with her. He sighed and took out a quilt from the bedroom and put it on the sofa:

"I'm tired, go to bed first, if you have to stay here overnight, you can sleep on the sofa."

Lu Xin made a sad look: "Why are you like this, brother, you let me sleep on the sofa..."

"Then go back to your big bed and leave me alone."

Lu Xin was honest, nodded and stopped talking, and ate the bowl of instant noodles contentedly.

Lu Xing looked at her, inexplicably dazed. He entered the bedroom, lay down on the bare sheets without the quilt, and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.

When he woke up again, it was already the early morning of the next morning. Looking at the time, it was less than six o'clock. It was late in winter, and it was still dark outside. He got out of bed in the dark and turned on the light.

Lu Xing walked out of the bedroom. There were traces of someone sleeping on the sofa. The quilt was messily put aside. Maybe he was not full. Lu Xin ordered takeaway but didn't clean it up after eating. The table was messy and full of things. He wrote a note with Lu Xin's crooked characters on it:

"I'm going back."

Lu Xing crumpled it and threw it into the trash can, probably because he slept without a quilt last night, his mind was dizzy.After simply tidying up the house, it was only a little after six o'clock, and he climbed onto the sofa and fell asleep again.

It was almost noon when he woke up again. Lu Xing looked at the time and realized that he hadn't slept so late for a long time.

Thinking of something, he hurriedly took out his phone and clicked on the chat interface with Gu Yuanzhi. The latest message was the Happy New Year message he sent on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. Lu Xing typed the word "good morning", but hesitated and struggled. After a while, I finally crossed the dialog box, lost my phone and got up.

As a result, Lu Xing almost fainted when he woke up. His brain seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton. Think, swallow it.

The publishing house sent a WeChat message: "The president is back early, and I happen to be free this afternoon. If you're free, would you like to come and have a look?"

Lu Xing thought about it, and went back to the past.
