A foreign city, dear you

"Did you turn off the light?" Cheng Dianfei asked, still holding a chicken foot in his mouth.

"No, why should I turn off the lights?" Zhu Lijun replied in the darkness: "There must be a power outage."

"I thought you were going to eat alone in the dark." Cheng Dianfei joked.

"Small sample," Zhu Lijun said disdainfully: "It's just a box of chicken feet, not chicken feet."

Cheng Dianfei spit out the broken bones in his mouth in the dark and asked: "Why did the power go out? What should we do now?"

Zhu Lijun shook his head in the darkness: "I don't know either. Just sit still and don't move. I'll go and see what's going on. Is it just our building that has a power outage?"

Zhu Lijun’s hands were full of oil. She groped her way into the kitchen, washed her hands, and then groped her way to the balcony.

Outside the balcony, other residential buildings were completely bright. Even though the curtains were drawn on the house opposite the balcony, it could be seen that the lights were on in their living rooms.

"It's so strange." Zhu Lijun stood on the balcony and talked to Cheng Dianfei in the room: "There is no power outage in other buildings, only our building is in the dark."

"What should I do?" Cheng Dianfei asked loudly: "Do you have a candle? My hands are still oily."

Zhu Lijun walked from the balcony to the house again, muttering: "Where are the candles? Who knew it would have a power outage?"

"Water, water, I want water!" Cheng Dianfei suddenly shouted: "My eyes!"

Zhu Lijun was startled and asked quickly: "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Cheng Dianfei cried and said: "A mosquito just bit me at the corner of my eye, so I scratched it lightly. Now my eyes are so hot that I can't open them."

Fortunately, it's not a big deal.

Zhu Lijun just looked at the lights outside the balcony, and when she returned to the house, she felt it was even darker. She groped her way to Cheng Dianfei and warned her: "You can't see with your eyes closed, just sit here and don't move."

"I can't see even with my eyes open." Cheng Dianfei said sadly.

Zhu Lijun couldn't help but laugh.

right. It's so dark, what's the difference between opening your eyes and closing them?

"Oh, I really wronged my cousin today." Zhu Lijun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll get you a wet towel to wipe it off."

"What's more," Cheng Dianfei said angrily: "You really lack light here, during the day and at night! You can't even eat braised chicken feet."

Zhu Lijun was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I will accompany you to climb the mountain tomorrow, fill up the light vigorously, and then treat you to chicken feet."

……

Cheng Dianfei wiped the corners of her eyes with the wet towel Zhu Lijun gave her a few times. Slowly, she felt that her eyes were no longer so burning and she could try to open them. Although the room was still dark, Cheng Dianfei had slowly adapted and could make out the general outline in front of him.

Zhu Lijun wanted to take Cheng Dianfei to the kitchen to wash her hands, but Cheng Dianfei said no, she could see a little better.

Zhu Lijun left Cheng Dianfei alone and sat on the sofa with her eyes closed to relax.

Cheng Dianfei groped his way into the kitchen, washed his hands, and then came to the balcony.

Although there were no lights on the balcony, it was not as dark as inside the house because of the lights from the surrounding houses.

The balcony of the house opposite is also dark. The curtains are drawn. There was light inside, but it was quiet.

After a while, there were footsteps and low voices inside.

Cheng Dianfei felt that standing on the balcony like this, paying attention to the opposite side, was a bit suspected of peeping into other people's privacy. But this is the Handshake Building. If you don’t look at the other side, where can you look?

It seems that I can only see at diagonal angles.

Cheng Dianfei looked out sideways and could see the roofs of some low-rise buildings.

Cheng Dianfei just stood there, looking, in a daze...

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

The call is coming!

Cheng Dianfei's first reaction was to turn around and look at the living room and room where Zhu Lijun rented the house.

It was still dark and there was no incoming call.

It turned out that this light came from the balcony opposite.

Cheng Dianfei turned around and looked at the balcony opposite. She suddenly opened her mouth wide and couldn't believe her eyes!

Gosh! What a coincidence!

Cheng Dianfei could not suppress the ecstasy in her heart and blurted out excitedly: "Brother Qian!"

*

When Tianqin Pavilion first had a power outage, Lan Shan was already asleep, Cao Xueqian was reading a magazine on the sofa, and Ye Lian was holding two large photo albums on the sofa and flipping through the photos page by page.

It has been almost a month since I got the photo album back from the photography store.

Professional photographers are different. Every photo they take is so beautiful that Ye Lian can't put it down.

During the first few days when she got it back, Ye Lian always liked to squat on the clean floor and look at it over and over again. If Cao Xueqian was at home, she would drag Cao Xueqian to watch it with her.

Now, even after so long, Ye Lian still takes it out to admire it from time to time, but she always feels that she can't get enough.

"I've heard of nymphomaniacs, but I've never heard of photo addicts. Do you women like looking at photos so much?" Cao Xueqian would sometimes laugh at her.

Ye Lian looked at the photo and didn't care about Cao Xueqian's words. She just replied to him lightly: "You don't understand, do you? Don't you think the woman in the album is just a flower? Isn't that easy to understand?"

In fact, there should be many reasons why women like to look at photo albums that men don’t understand.

Women like to be nostalgic, and many lost times will always be recalled inadvertently;

Women like to stay young and beautiful forever, but their true appearance cannot withstand the passage of time. Only in their own photos can they find their former beauty. Seeing that I was once so young and beautiful, I couldn't help but feel happy.

……

As for wedding photos, there is another deeper reason:

Women all like to be loved, pampered and cared for, and in the wedding photos, her husband is absolutely obedient to her and cooperates unconditionally. What woman wouldn’t want to see more photos like this? Every time I look at it, infinite sweetness will surge in my heart.

……

Ye Lian couldn't remember how many times she had read it.

Forget it, stop watching, you can’t keep watching, right?

Ye Lian put away the photo album and went to the bedroom to put it away. When she came out, she heard the voices of two girls in the house opposite, which seemed to be about a power outage.

Ye Lian didn't care at first.

When it comes to the house opposite, Ye Lian has a lot of worries.

It's true that old troubles can't be gone, and new troubles have come again.

The last time the house opposite had anti-theft windows installed, luckily Ye Lian stopped them in time and prevented them from blowing out the windows.

But Ye Lian can stop them from floating windows, but cannot stop them from decorating.

During their renovation, Ye Lian was really tortured by the noise. All kinds of cutting sounds, stirring sounds, drilling sounds... ping ping ping pong - dong dong dong... it's really noisy and unsettling.

There is also dust.

Even if Ye Lian had to close all the doors and windows on the balcony side, the furniture and floors at home would always be gray.

Fortunately, the house opposite is for rent. The decoration is simple and does not take long.

After the decoration is completed, does it stop?

Think beautiful!
