The person crouching in front of him looked up, the corners of his lips were raised, and clear smile lines on lips, flowing slowly in his eyes. His smile looked like a piece of marshmallow, very soft and sweet.

Lu Fei was in a daze for a moment.

When Lu Fei came to his senses from an unspeakable situation, he found that he was far away from the edge of rage, thousands of miles away.

Lu Fei half-closed his eyes, and the sight turned downward, falling on the young man’s smiling face.

Huang Dan saw the man’s brows furrowed, confused and irritated. He stood up and sat down on the empty seat on the bench. He didn’t speak, but stayed with him and watched the sunset on the horizon.

When Lu Fei touched the wound on his mouth, he hissed in pain, and the veins on his forehead throbbed. Thinking of the boy calling him squeamish on his face, the anger came back, and he was so angry that he kicked the stone at his feet far away.

The stone fell into the grass, alarming the big yellow dog who was sleeping inside. It looked around nervously, and when it saw that there was no danger, it wagged its tail and lay back down, and continued to sleep.

Huang Dan turned his head and looked at the man.

Lu Fei glanced at him gloomily, very fiercely.

Huang Dan said, “I know that some people are born with different pain nerves than ordinary people. Even a small injury can cause them to lose all strength. They cry, shout unbearably, and faint in severe cases. Lu Fei, you are that kind of person.”

The young man’s tone was determined, and his expression was very serious when he spoke, without the slightest hint of ridicule or mockery. The anger in Lu Fei’s heart stalled for a moment before burning, and he had a taut face, indifferent.

Huang Dan added, “Others can’t understand it, and may even think the person is too delicate, and think it’s just acting, pretending and it’s funny, but I can understand you.”

Lu Fei smiled insincerely , “Didn’t you just say that I’m squeamish?”

Huang Dan lowered his eyes, “I didn’t mean any harm. I said you were squeamish because I thought you were cute.”

Lu Fei stared at the young man as if he was seeing a ghost, and squeezed out the word through his teeth. His tone was cold, covered in ice slag, “Cute?”

Huang Dan nodded, “Yeah, very cute.”

Lu Fei took out his cigarette case, flicked one and put it in his mouth. His face was as cold as ice, and his voice too, “Boy, leave quickly while my sanity is still there.”

Huang Dan didn’t leave. He said, “Your mouth is broken. Smoking will be very painful.”

Lu Fei ignored it. He clicked the lighter and took a puff of the lit cigarette. The next moment, he spit out the cigarette in pain. His face turned blue and white, and a little glisten appeared in his eyes.

Huang Dan said comfortingly, “If you want to cry, just cry.”

He wanted to coax him. However, previously the man coaxed him, and he hasn’t learned it yet.

Lu Fei stood up and strode away. His movements were large and sudden, and his momentum was terrifying, keeping distance from others.

Huang Dan did not follow him, but said slowly, “Lu Fei, you forgot your suit jacket.”

The tall figure who was about to walk around the grass stopped, turned back the same way, and said in a contemptuous and indifferent tone, “Ji Shiyu, I have no interest in you, and I will never have in the future.”

Huang Dan didn’t speak, just looked up at the man.

The afterglow of the setting sun was embedded in his eyes, covering every corner, covering up that trace of smile, tolerance, pampering, and pure warmth.

Lu Fei felt inexplicably uncomfortable and felt something wrong all over his body. He frowned, bent down in front of the young man, raised one hand and pinched the other man’s face, “Don’t understand Mandarin?”

(*Chinese language is called Mandarin)

Huang Dan sighed, “I’m not gay.”

Lu Fei snorted, he withdrew his hand, took out the handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it, and said nonchalantly, “Okay, if you say no, then it’s no. Remember, don’t play tricks on me, you can’t afford it.”

Huang Dan said unhurriedly, “Lu Fei, you and I are the same kind of person, neither gay nor straight.”

Lu Fei finally figured out that the reason why he disliked being in contact with this person was because of his firm tone, that seemed to see through him at any time, felt every bone in his body, and squeezed him tightly in his hand.

If neither is accurate, then he is naive, childish, and thinks himself clever. But the young man is accurate about everything. Damn it, it’s really strange.

The sound of the cello came suddenly, and Lu Fei turned his back and walked aside to answer the phone. It was a call from home, asking him if he had finished his work in China and when he would be back.

Lu Fei glanced at the young man unconsciously.

Huang Dan seemed to be aware of it, and when he met that gaze, he pursed his lips as if smiling.

Lu Fei tilted his head and said that the matter had not been settled yet. He frowned, “Blind date? Turn it down. Dad, what I told you last time was not a joke. If you don’t quite understand, I will be more direct. I can’t get hard on women, it is just like that, I hang up.”

Huang Dan heard every word. He pinched his fingers and faced the setting sun. He felt that the sun would be strong tomorrow and the temperature would be even higher than today.

Lu Fei stuffed his cell phone back into his pocket, took his suit jacket and left without saying a word.

Huang Dan felt his body and found a steel coin. He went to the small shop at the entrance of the community and bought an outdated popsicle. He ate it while walking. When he arrived at Wang Zhi’s house, the popsicle was in his stomach completely.

There were several bags of garbage placed on the walkway. It was hot, the smell was terrible, and there were a lot of little black bugs flying around in the bag.

Wang Zhi lived alone on the fifth floor, and there was no one else living on either side. He was used to it casually, and no one would comment on his behavior. Even though the neighbor next door returned to China, he couldn’t change his habit for a while.

Huang Dan thought to himself that when Lu Fei came back, he must have had a very bad look when he saw that the corridor was so dirty. He found a way through the piled cardboard boxes and walked in the door in two or three steps. “Wang Zhi, if you don’t throw away the garbage outside your door, there will be a lot of bugs.”

Wang Zhi was shirtless and wearing flowery underwear as he took orders in front of the computer, “Whatever, they’re outside anyway.”

Huang Dan said, “Bugs will fly into your house. They are very small and difficult to see. They first fly out of the rancid garbage bag, then fly into your cup, and bite on the snacks you eat, leaving secretions and……”

Wang Zhi interrupted him unbearably and felt a chill, “Ji Shiyu, please stop talking. I feel like throwing up because of what you said. I also want to throw away the trash in time, but it’s extremely hot and there’s no elevator. I get sweaty when I climb up-down the fifth floor. I don’t want to go down at night, so I’ll throw it tomorrow.”

Huang Dan said, “I’ll take it down later.”

Wang Zhi threw the milk carton next to the computer towards him, “Good bro.”

Huang Dan tore open the straw and asked casually, “Didn’t you say that your buddy’s ex-girlfriend is coming over?”

Wang Zhi was typing on the keyboard, chewing a piece of gum in his mouth, and couldn’t speak clearly. “That’s what was said but who knows what happened. It would be best if they don’t come.”

Huang Dan took a sip of milk. Every time he comes over, Wang Zhi gives him one of these. Without rush, saying that he bought it to sell it back, and the price is cheap.

The living room was as messy as usual. Huang Dan had never been to the bedroom or other rooms at the back. He glanced around and suddenly said, “Wang Zhi, Zhao Xiao knows Lu Fei.”

Wang Zhi’s voice was mixed in with the ding-dong-ding-dong sound. He looked for the blowing kiss emoticons and asked, “Who is Lu Fei?”

Huang Dan said, “The overseas returnee who lives next door to you.”

Wang Zhi looked up from the computer screen, looking very surprised, “Fuck, Ji Shiyu, you even know person’s name?”

Huang Dan said matter-of-factly, “I happened to hear someone shout.”

Wang Zhi clicked his tongue and continued to reply to the buyer. The ten fingers on the keyboard almost flew up, “I don’t know how Zhao Xiao and Lu whatever know each other. I’ll ask when she comes later.”

Huang Dan said, “Wang Zhi, can I use your bathroom?”

Wang Zhi laughed out loud, “Ji Shiyu, ah, Ji Shiyu, sometimes I really feel like you are like a young master, so polite that I am a little speechless. What are you doing asking me to use the bathroom, just use it casually.”

Huang Dan put the milk on the table and walked inside. The blue slippers he wore made a dragging sound on the cement floor.

On the left is the bathroom and bedroom. There is no door, so you can see everything inside. The bedroom only has a bed, a wardrobe, and a few boxes of things piled in the corner. The bathroom has a large bathtub, and the other items are common toiletries.

There are also two rooms on the right. The one near the window is for storing miscellaneous items and is very messy. The other one has a door and is closed. It should be a warehouse for storing products.

Huang Dan entered the bathroom, closed the door, and sorted out his thoughts inside.

The door didn’t have a latch, so it opened as soon as it was pushed. Wang Zhi poked his head in, “Hey, Ji Shiyu, what are you doing? It took so long, I thought you fell into the toilet.”

Huang Dan had already lost his composure in a short period of time, “The toilet flush is broken.”

Wang Zhi walked in, grabbed the red rope hanging from the inside of the toilet lid and pulled it, and the sound of water splashed loudly. “The small sluice is broken. I used the rope to fix it. How about it? Smart, right?”

Huang Dan said yes, smart. When he came out, he pointed to the only room with a closed door, “Is this a warehouse?”

Wang Zhi held his shoulders and said, “Yes, it’s a warehouse. There are too many things and it’s very messy. There’s nothing interesting to see. Come on, I’ll show you the good stuff.”

Huang Dan was carried back to the front of the computer.

Wang Zhi still had one hand on Huang Dan’s shoulder, and the other hand held the mouse and clicked into the F drive, “It was just below the Caoliu, I haven’t had time to see it yet.”
(*Caoliu is an online forum for sharing erotic pictures.)

Huang Dan looked at the video that started playing, “Aren’t you very busy?”

Wang Zhi chuckled, leaning his head in front of the computer, his eyes shining behind his glasses, “You don’t know this, the busier you are, the more you need to watch. It’s what refreshes you.”

The video seems to have been taken by the person involved himself. The picture is not very clear, but it has everything that should be seen. People can see everything they want to see. The speaker is on and the sound quality is good.

Huang Dan’s breath was steady and his face was calm.

Wang Zhi was breathing rapidly and his face was red. He looked like a hot-blooded young boy. He couldn’t help but be stimulated, “If it rings, please check it for me!”

After he shouted this, he kicked the stool away and rushed into the bathroom quickly.

Huang Dan took a look at the note posted on the back of the woman in the video. It looked like a sign with a serial number written on it. He didn’t know what it meant. He was not interested, so he closed the video window.

Wang Zhi shook his sweaty hair and came out. He stood in front of Huang Dan and hesitated to speak. He squeezed out a sentence like constipation, “Ji Shiyu, are you……ahem……that one?”

He wiped his face, put on his glasses, and said pointedly, “You are, right?”

Huang Dan didn’t answer but asked, “Which one?”

Wang Zhi glared over, his face flushed and dripping blood, “Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?”

Huang Dan said nothing.

Wang Zhi scratched his head and seemed to be organizing his words, “This is the 21st century, sexual orientation is not important. What is important is safety first, health first, and establishing a correct outlook on life and values…… Aiyo, WTF, I don’t even know what I’m talking about, but you got that, right?”

Huang Dan said, “I didn’t get it.”

Wang Zhi rubbed his teeth, “We watched the video together. It was so exciting, you didn’t feel anything at all. This is so abnormal, Ji Shiyu, something is wrong with you.”

Huang Dan said, “Too ugly.”

Wang Zhi didn’t understand at first, “What?”

Huang Dan said, “The man was too ugly.”

Wang Zhi rolled his eyes, “Fuck, Ji Shiyu, you don’t stare at the woman, but stare at her man?”

Huang Dan said, “The woman was blocked, so I can only look at the man.”

Wang Zhi, “……I still don’t understand. Does this have anything to do with whether you get hard or not?”

Huang Dan said there was.

Wang Zhi looked incomprehensible. He pushed up his glasses and asked cautiously, “So, you are really not that?”

Huang Dan shook his head, “No.”

Wang Zhi let out a sigh of relief and thumped his chest, “You keep running to me these days. I thought you were attracted to me and wanted to do something with me. It gave me nightmares and blisters on my mouth.”

Huang Dan said, “You are thinking too much.”

Wang Zhi sighed exaggeratedly, “No, Why do I feel like you look down on me when you look like that? Concentration is the essence, do you understand?”

Huang Dan said, “Then you have a lot of essence.”

Wang Zhi ，“……”

Huang Dan said, “I’m not very good at joking, don’t mind.”

Wang Zhi twitched his mouth, “You are amazing.”

Huang Dan casually picked up the small notebook on the table and flipped through it. It was for accounting.

“My handwriting is like scratches by the chicken claw, don’t look at it.”

Wang Zhi took the notebook away and bumped Huang Dan’s shoulder, “Do you still want to watch the video? I have a lot of good stuff.”

Huang Dan said he didn’t want to watch it, “It’s boring.”

Wang Zhi pulled up the stool, sat down on it, grabbed the mouse and keyboard and started working, “You are the most boring one. To be honest, Ji Shiyu, I have always been curious, why did you come to your grandma’s place? You could have completely rented out the house and lived off the rent.”

Huang Dan said, “The environment here is pretty good.”

Wang Zhi laughed loudly as if he had heard a big joke, his shoulders shaking, “Environment is good? Are you kidding me? It’s dusty when you go out, the streets are never clean, the garbage can’t be swept away, and there is noise even in the early morning. It was either quarrels, babies crying, and it was bombing with a subwoofer, oh no, there were also sounds of children being beaten and scolded.”

Huang Dan was speechless.

Wang Zhi stopped talking. He was extremely busy. He was handling more than a dozen people at the same time. He was in charge of all pre-sales and after-sales. If he slowed down, he would be scolded, and the ding-dong sound continued.

“If only I woke up one night and found that my bed was full of money.”

Huang Dan said, “If something like that really happened, I would panic, be on tenterhooks, and worry about being caught. After all, it’s not mine.”

Wang Zhi chuckled, “That’s right.”

Not long after Huang Dan finished drinking the milk, Zhao Xiao arrived.

When Zhao Xiao saw Huang Dan, a flash of unnaturalness flashed across her face, and it passed quickly. She asked Wang Zhi, “Do you have bath towels in several colors?”

Wang Zhi said there are all, “Zhao Xiao, let me ask you something. How did you meet that returnee?”

Zhao Xiao’s gaze passed over Huang Dan, and she said, “I only found out today that he is the founder of MP. He returned to China to execute the acquisition of our company.”

Wang Zhi was stunned, “MP, what is that?”

Zhao Xiao said, “My Princess.”

Huang Dan frowned. He remembered the photo from the high school military training, and there was a similar sentence behind it.

Wang Zhi rolled his eyes, “So, he created that brand for someone?”

Zhao Xiao said, “That’s what the rumors say.”

Wang Zhi said, “The romance of rich people.”

Zhao Xiao said, “He started from scratch and worked abroad for more than ten years before he achieved what he has achieved today.”

Wang Zhi scratched his chin, “According to this, my Taobao store has gone from zero transactions to five diamonds, and it will soon be crowned. It can be regarded as starting from scratch. It will definitely be developed in more than ten years.”

He nudged the young man next to him who didn’t even fart for a long time, “Ji Shiyu, what do you say?”

Huang Dan said, “Persistence is victory.”

Wang Zhi rolled his eyes and thought of something, “No, ah, Zhao Xiao, why does the big boss need to return to China to take care of the acquisition in person? Is there no one under him?”

Zhao Xiao frowned, seeming to have this doubt as well.

Wang Zhi said, “Ji Shiyu hasn’t found a job yet. If you have the connection, do him a favor.”

Zhao Xiao looked at the young man.

Huang Dan smiled kindly at her.

Zhao Xiao said coldly, “Give me your resume when you have time.”

Huang Dan was stunned, “Sorry to trouble you.”

Zhao Xiao didn’t give any response.

Wang Zhi blinked at Huang Dan and whispered that Zhao Xiao usually didn’t meddle in other people’s business.

Huang Dan looked at the young woman and thought she was really tall, with broad shoulders and short hair. From the back, she looked like a man.

Zhao Xiao seemed to hate being looked at, and she gave Huang Dan a warning look.

Huang Dan withdrew his gaze.

Zhao Xiao bought thirty bath towels with many bright colors.

Wang Zhi calculated it for her based on the purchase price, “Other people only need one bath towel for one summer, but you buy several dozens for it.”

Zhao Xiao put the bag in his hand and said, “Bye.”

Wang Zhi shouted and persuaded, “Zhao Xiao, it’s better to go to the hospital.”

Zhao Xiao went downstairs without looking back, and soon there was the sound of the door opening and closing.

Huang Dan said, “Zhao Xiao uses one bath towel a day?”

“I asked her and she said not necessarily. You also saw it, I asked her to see a doctor, but she pretended not to hear, very stubborn.”

Wang Zhi chatted with Huang Dan for a while, and then the sound of the door opening came from the next door. He put his hand to his mouth and said, “Shh.”

Huang Dan stood in the living room, facing the door.

Lu Fei came out of the house, still wearing the same clothes. He turned his head and saw Wang Zhi leaning on the young man’s shoulder. He glanced past and walked down the stairs.

Huang Dan pushed the other person’s head aside, “I’m going back.”

Wang Zhi muttered unhappily, “Didn’t you agree that you would stay with me and play games all night long?”

Huang Dan said, “Playing games all night long carries the risk of sudden death.”

Wang Zhi said that life is full of surprises. He spoke quickly and said a long paragraph in one breath, “If a person goes out, he can be hit by a car, stabbed to death, smashed to death by someone who jumps off a building in depression, or stabbed to death by unknown objects. Then won’t a person even leave home?”

Huang Dan said, “What you mentioned is a force majeure factor. You can control your own work and rest time, and not sleeping at night is chronic suicide.”

Wang Zhi twitched his eyebrows and said, “Forget it, I won’t play anymore. I lost all interest after what you said.”

Huang Dan walked out the door.

Wang Zhi handed him two peaches and said, “They are washed, take it.”

Huang took the peaches one by one and put them in his pocket, “Thank you.”

He picked up all the garbage bags outside the door, and when he was about to go downstairs, he remembered something, so he returned to Wang Zhi’s place and bought a bottle of Liushen floral water, the spray type.

Most of the street lights in the community were broken, and only after walking for a while could there be dim light.

There were scattered figures moving around. The older ones were enjoying the cool air with cattail fans and chatting about the weather tomorrow.

The younger ones were taking a walk, mostly young lovers, looking at the stars and the moon, and saving a little on the electricity bill.

Huang Dan walked out of the corridor. Instead of searching around like a headless fly, he asked in his heart, “San Ge, where is Lu Fei?”

System, “In your heart.”

Huang Dan，“……”

System, “These are words of love.”

Huang Dan said, “Heard it, so tacky.”

System, “Love is originally just tacky stuff. Turn left, go straight, and you can see the target after passing the pavilion.”

Huang Dan thanked him, “San Ge, you are very powerful. Are you Mr. Lu’s boss?”

System, “Yes.”

Huang Dan didn’t expect San Ge to be so direct. He paused, then continued walking, “Then my luck is not bad.”

System, “Just optimistic about you.”

Huang Dan walked through the pavilion and saw the figure of the man. He was sitting on a chair, holding a cigarette in one hand and resting his hand on the bench with a lazy posture.

The wind was blowing.

There was a wisp of smoke at the end of Huang Dan’s nose. He took a deep breath, and the cigarette smell entered his internal organs.

The sky is full of stars, imprinting many small white flowers on the night, and a little romance and tranquility are silently kneaded.

Huang Dan said, “Sitting here, there are a lot of mosquitoes.”

Lu Fei swallowed clouds and spit out the fog, not even giving a single glance to him.

Huang Dan opened the small cap of Liushen floral water, pressed it and sprayed it several times around the man.

Lu Fei smelled the scent of floral water and the cigarette in his mouth trembled, “What are you doing?”

Huang Dan said while spraying, “There is a lot of garbage nearby and the mosquitoes are very big. If you are bitten, it will hurt so much that you may not recover for several days.”

Lu Fei put the cigarette in his hand and scolded expressionlessly, “Ji Shiyu.”

Huang Dan, “Mmm.”

Lu Fei didn’t say another word. He flicked the ashes on the ground and smoked with his eyelids lowered.

Huang Dan suddenly said, “My intuition has always been accurate. It told me that the person who entered my house last time would not let me go.”

Lu Fei’s face was shrouded in smoke, “I’m not familiar with you.”

Huang Dan speak, minding his own business, “Calling the police will not help because no one believes my intuition.”

His thinking was clear and he already had an opinion, “Moreover, Old Zhang’s case has not been solved yet, so it is better to do it own rather than asking help from others.”

Lu Fei turned a deaf ear.

Huang Dan said, “The person didn’t steal anything, probably didn’t have time, and I almost died.”

Hearing the word “death”, Lu Fei’s heart tightened inexplicably, so fast that it was hard to catch it.

Huang Dan said, “I suspect it was the neighbor who did it, and the same goes for Old Zhang’s death.”

Lu Fei raised his eyebrows, and he finally spoke, with an unknown meaning, “Really?”

Huang Dan nodded and told him about the slippers, including the scene where Sun Siqing seemed to be possessed by a ghost.

In this world, if there is anyone who will not hurt him, it is the one in front of him. There is no mistake.

After listening to this, Lu Fei didn’t give any opinion. He raised his eyes and found that there were several black spots on the young man’s face and forehead. They were mosquitoes, but the other party didn’t respond.

Huang Dan noticed the man’s gaze, so he stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face to drive away the mosquitoes.

Will be envious and jealous, right?

Lu Fei was indeed envious and jealous, he was bitten by the mosquito, and then scratched, which hurt so much that he wanted to cry.

Huang Dan took out two peaches. He nibbled one of them and it was a little sour, so he handed the other over and said, “This one is sweet, for you to eat.”

Lu Fei didn’t answer. His face revealed strangeness and found it funny, “You didn’t even eat it, and you know it’s sweet?”

Huang Dan said, “Generally, one is sour and the other is sweet.”

Lu Fei’s facial muscles twitched, what crooked reasoning is this?

Huang Dan said, “Don’t want to?”

Lu Fei was disgusted and didn’t even look at it.

Huang Dan said, “Forget it, I’ll eat it myself.”

Lu Fei suddenly felt unhappy again, now he finished smoking a cigarette and his mouth was dry, “Bring it here.”

Huang Dan gave him the peach.

After Lu Fei took a bite, his facial expression changed. Damn, so sour.

Huang Dan said, “Sweet, right?”

“……”

Lu Fei had a sore tooth, so he threw the peach into the trash can not far away.

Huang Dan frowned and said, “Wang Zhi gave it, such a big peach, don’t throw it away if it’s not delicious, it’s a waste.”

Lu Fei crossed his long legs, “Wang Zhi? Is that the guy who made the corridor messy, dirty, and smelly? The one with glasses?”

Huang Dan said, “Mmm.”

Lu Fei sneered, “You two are a good match.”

His hand was patted, and his face turned livid, “What are you doing?”

Huang Dan said with a cold face, “Hit you.”

This was probably the first time in his life that he had been treated like this. Although the force was not heavy, Lu Fei was still stunned for a while, and his veins bulged.

“Fuck, sure enough, I shouldn’t have return to China.”

Huang Dan gnawed the remaining mouthfuls of peach meat into his mouth, and said in his heart, if you didn’t return to China, where could you find me?

Sprayed a lot of floral water, but it still didn’t work.

Lu Fei’s hand was bitten.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Huang Dan licked the mosquito patch on the back of the man’s hand, swept it with the tip of his tongue, and swept away a little salty sweat.

Lu Fei’s whole body was stiff. After reacting, he pushed the young man to the ground and looked down condescendingly. His breath was heavy and he was burning with anger, “You are courting death.”

Huang Dan lay down on the grass in this position, resting his head on his hands and looking up at the stars, “It’s so beautiful.”

Lu Fei pressed his temples hard. He suppressed his anger and left. It seemed that if he stayed for a second longer, he might beat the person half to death.

Huang Dan pursed his lips and smiled, “San Ge, did Lu Fei stop and stare at that hand in a daze?”

System, “That’s right.”

Huang Dan said, “Now he took the handkerchief and wiped his hands vigorously, disgusted and violent, and he wished he could cut off the skin.”

System, “You know him very well.”

Huang Dan said, “I have been very close with him from the first time I traveled through time, and have been on good terms ever since.”

He moved forward with so many memories, no matter how heavy they were, he was not willing to throw them away. If he didn’t understand the man, then what qualifications did he have to talk about love? How is he worthy of being loved?

System, “He is hurt from wiping his hands.”

Huang Dan said, “Crying?”

The system said, “No, quite tolerable.”

Huang Dan sighed, “He can bear it better than me. I have thought about it. If he cries, I will try my best to comfort him.”

System said, “Xiao Di, remember, as long as you guys stand high and tall, anything can be solved.”

Huang Dan，“……”

Lu Fei drove away in the morning, and Wang Zhi told Huang Dan about this.

According to Wang Zhi, Lu Fei’s complexion didn’t look ordinary ugly when he left, his eyes were bloodshot, there was unshaven stubble on his chin, his clothes were wrinkled, he looked anxious and cold, and he was still carrying a suitcase in his hand. It looks like he is not coming back.

Huang Dan said in heart, he would come back.

As soon as Lu Fei left, Huang Dan reduced the number of visits to Wang Zhi. He went to the hospital to have the sutures removed, and his head was no longer bandaged. The hair on the back didn’t grow, and it was still a hole, which didn’t look good.

Huang Dan didn’t buy a hat to wear either, it’s too hot.

Liu DaYe gave the hat he wore while fishing to Huang Dan, “The quality is very good, my son bought it, and said it’s a brand, you take it and wear it.”

Huang Dan said there is no need, “After wearing this, the scalp won’t be able to breathe.”

Liu DaYe pulled his face and said, “Xiao Ji, you are looking down on your DaYe.”

Huang Dan was speechless for a few moments, then put on the hat.

The hat is black, and when Huang Dan puts on his head, it is like walking solar energy, it’s so hot that he sweated like rain.

Liu DaYe was happy and said he looked handsome in the hat, “Xiao Ji, ah, you look good, no worse than the guy on the fifth floor. If you find a job, I’m sure there will be a lot of little girls who will turn their heads to look back at you.”

Huang Dan has no time to find a job, he has to complete the task as soon as possible.

When there is no conflict of interest, the neighbors get along very well. Whoever has a happy event, will give them food and drink.

Don’t want? That won’t work and will be a definite pulling and tugging for almost half a day.

Liu DaNiang made a lot of square melon cakes and gave them to the neighbors. She gave Zhou Chunlian a full plate and also asked Huang Dan to take some home later.

Huang Dan picked up the cake with chopsticks and took a bite, “DaNiang, the cake you made is delicious.”

Liu DaNiang smiled widely, “It’s the well picked square melons, sweet.”

Huang Dan said it was sweet, and asked in a casual tone, “Zhou Jiejie’s baby had diarrhea two days ago. Is it okay now?”

Liu DaNiang said, “The child is fine, can eat and sleep, chubby and healthy. It is only the adult……”

She wiped the water stains on the coffee table with a rag, “Whose family’s child is not a treasure, but it is not like her, looking after the child too closely. I feel tired just watching. If she keeps doing this, something will go wrong some day.”

Liu DaYe knocked his smoking pipe on the table, “Why do you care about other people’s business?”

Liu DaNiang said angrily, “What do I care about? Didn’t I just say two sentences to Xiao Ji?”

Liu DaYe snorted coldly, “Isn’t that just two sentences? You say it everywhere!”

Liu DaNiang felt guilty and lacked the confidence to talk back, “Everyone is talking about it, I’m not the only one talking.”

Liu DaYe hates iron for not becoming steel, “Everyone is everyone, and you are you. You are so old, and you still can’t control your mouth. You don’t have a long memory at all. If something happens to you one day, you can’t blame anyone else, you just brought it on yourself!”

Liu DaNiang remained silent.

When Huang Dan saw that the old couple had stopped arguing, he said, “DaYe, I don’t think DaNiang did it intentionally.”

Liu DaYe snorted, “Intentionally or not, what’s the difference? Hasn’t still said what shouldn’t be said?!”

Huang Dan swallowed the square melon cake in his mouth and said, “What DaYe said makes sense.”

Liu DaNiang threw away the rag and sat on the chair without speaking.

Liu DaYe took two puffs of smoke pipe and said, “Xiao Ji, Isn’t there an old saying that misfortune comes from the mouth?”

Huang Dan said, “Yeah.”

Liu DaNiang took a bowl to drink water, “Old Liu, disciplined me in front of juniors, isn’t it very shameless?”

Liu DaYe pressed his hands on the table and said, “Comrade Li Huifang, I am very disappointed in you.”

Liu DaNiang took off her apron and threw it on Liu DaYe, “I’m even more disappointed in you. I’m going to find my son!”

Liu DaYe waved his hand, “Go, go, leave quickly and let me live my days peacefully.”

Liu DaNiang slammed the door and didn’t come out of the room.

Huang Dan felt that the old people were acting like a child when they quarreled, “DaYe, DaNiang must have propriety and will not make irresponsible remarks.”

Liu DaYe sighed, “Your DaNiang has a big mouth, and one can’t talk sense to her.”

Huang Dan said, “As long as it’s human, there are times when they make mistakes.”

Liu DaYe thought of something, but he remained silent.

That afternoon, Huang Dan saw Liu DaYe and Liu DaNiang going for a walk, so the old couple reconciled.

Huang Dan’s movements upstairs and downstairs, inside and outside the community, are well known to everyone.

On Friday night, Huang Dan met Sun Siqing.

Sun Siqing didn’t have enough fun, so he took Huang Dan to his house to drink.

Huang Dan has been very close to Sun Siqing recently. If there is an opportunity, he will seize it. If there is no opportunity, he will look for it. The hard work he has put into him has not been in vain.

Otherwise, Sun Siqing would not have asked Huang Dan to go to his house.

Sun Siqing kicked off his leather shoes and said with a breath full of alcohol, “Xiao Ji, I just got two bottles of good wine. You are lucky this time.”

Huang Dan sat on the sofa and looked away quietly.

Sun Siqing came over with two wine glasses, one for Huang Dan, and he opened the wine and poured some in, “Have a taste.”

Huang Dan took a sip of the wine. It was sweet first, but only spicy after that, and he frowned. On the other hand, Sun Siqing looked like he was enjoying and intoxicated while drinking.

Sun Siqing got the money and said he would take Huang Dan to eat at KFC tomorrow.

Huang Dan was surprised, he still remembered it.

Sun Siqing said, “Shushu is quite close to you, find Shushu if there is anything, although Shushu is bankrupt, he has opened a company and been a boss, and is well-informed, don’t you agree?”

Huang Dan nodded.

Sun Siqing drank one glass after another and talked more and more, all of which were out of tune.

Late at night.

Huang Dan was about to go back when a sound suddenly appeared outside the door.

Opposite him, Sun Siqing, who had been smiling just now, froze. He exhaled a turbid breath, “Xiao Ji, this is what I told you last time.”

The sound was very strange, like a pair of footwears being thrown up, down, up, and down.

Huang Dan sat with his back facing the door, and now the hairs on his back were standing.

Sun Siqing put down his wine glass and said, “Let’s go take a look.”

Huang Dan stood up after him and walked to the door.

Sun Siqing signaled Huang Dan to be silent. He opened the door suddenly and a person fell in.

It’s Liu DaNiang.

She was sitting against the door, but as soon as the door opened, she fell back.

Huang Dan lowered his head to look at the old lady, who was also looking at him, her eyes were protruding, and her loose skin was blue-green. His scalp went numb, “Sun Shushu, DaNiang is dead.”

Sun Siqing was stunned, as if he didn’t hear clearly, “Eh?”

Huang Dan repeated it and said in a deep voice, “Go and call DaYe over.”

Sun Siqing was shocked, “You said the person is dead?”

Huang Dan said, “Yes, dead.”

The flesh on Sun Siqing’s face trembled, “What a joke? She just passed out because of old age, that’s all.”

Huang Dan looked at him and then looked at the old lady.

Sun Siqing also looked over. He half-crouched to touch the old lady’s breath, and the next second he yelled, “His mom’s, was there no other good place to die, why did you die in front of my house?!”

Huang Dan said, “Let’s wake up DaYe first.”

Sun Siqing wiped his face vigorously, stood up and knocked on the door 302 next door. His voice was tense, “DaGe, please open the door quickly.”

Liu DaYe was woken up from his sleep. There was impatience in his old voice, “Xiao Sun, what’s going on?”

Sun Siqing said with difficulty, “Something happened to DaJie.”

Liu DaYe heard Sun Siqing outside mentioning his wife, so he opened the door, “Something happened? What happened? She went to my son’s place this morning, what could happen?”

Huang Dan was still looking at the old lady on the ground. He closed the old lady’s eyes and took his hand away, but the old lady was still looking at him, “DaNiang is dead.”

Liu DaYe’s head was buzzing, but he still didn’t believe it, “Xiao Ji, what did you say? Who died?”

He looked at Sun Siqing.

Sun Siqing didn’t respond, just stepped aside.

Only then did Liu DaYe see his wife lying at Sun Siqing’s door. His eyes widened immediately, and he staggered and ran over to feel with his hand, and the body was ice-cold.

Huang Dan said, “DaYe, you……”

His words stopped suddenly, and he discovered something strange about the old man, who was more afraid than sad.

Liu DaYe’s eyes looked like he had seen a ghost. The slippers on his wife’s feet were the ones that Old Zhang wore when he died, and were thrown into the trash by him, how could it be……

Liu DaYe was so frightened that he fell to the ground and fainted on the spot.
