The programmer and his woman

I opened the door with my key, and when I pushed it open, it was pitch black. This was too strange, how could this room not even have a window? Fortunately, I saw the light switch at the door, and I pressed the switch to see the situation inside the room clearly. When I entered the door, I faced a narrow corridor that was one person wide, and there were rooms on both sides of the corridor. On the right hand side of the door was the bathroom, and there were two doors next to the bathroom, which should also be two rooms. At the end of this narrow corridor, there was a horizontal corridor with three rooms. Oh, it turned out to be a T-shaped corridor. I calculated in my mind that this should be a two-bedroom, one-living room house with a total of nine rooms.

I glanced at the house number on the key. My room was inside, in the middle of the corridor. After I opened the door with the key, it didn't open immediately and I almost bumped into it. It only opened a gap more than one person wide. When I pushed again, it felt like it was blocked by something and I couldn't push it anymore. The room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I reached out and groped for the light switch on the wall. After searching for a while, I finally found it.

I was dumbfounded when I turned on the light and took a clear look at the condition inside the room. It was such a small room. There was only a 1.5-meter bed in it. Next to the bed was a simple cloth wardrobe. There was nothing else in the room. It was estimated to be less than two square meters in size. Because the room was too small, the door was blocked by the end of the bed and could not be fully opened. Looking around the room, the wall must have been built later. It looked very thin. I knocked on it with my hand and estimated that it was not much thicker than cardboard. Moreover, this room and the room next to it should share a wall. This so-called wall may be a plasterboard, but I feel that it is more like cardboard and it shakes when I press it with my hand. No, I stopped quickly. I can't push it anymore. If I push it harder, it will fall down.

It costs more than 600 yuan a month to rent such a broken thing. "Xiaoxia, come and take a look." I stepped aside and let Xiaoxia go into the house to see the situation. She was surprised at first, but then she was calm.

"Forget it, this is the only way. This place is very expensive and can't be compared with our place. Wang Dong, put our things in the house first. This house is too cramped. We can just come back here at night and sleep. We can just stay outside when we have nothing to do. Let's go. Let's not stay here anymore. Let's go out for a walk." Xiao Xia suggested.

"Okay," I replied. I think Xiaoxia is right, it doesn't matter if it's small, as long as I can get some sleep when I get home.

After we put away the boxes and bags we brought, locked the door, and were about to leave, a beautiful woman came out of the room in the innermost corner. She seemed to have just woken up and yawned as she walked out. When she saw us, she was also stunned and asked us, "Are you new here?"

I pointed to our cubicle and replied, "Yeah, that's where we live."

She pointed to the room behind her and said, "I live next to you. We will be neighbors from now on." I then noticed that she was only wearing a silk nightgown, which fluttered gently and had a low neckline, revealing her proud cleavage. Her breasts were very firm and beautiful, and I couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

She didn't seem to mind my gaze, but smiled at me and said, "Come and play with me when you have time." Then she patted my shoulder and walked sideways towards the toilet. At that moment, I felt the faint fragrance emanating from her body, as well as her calmness and confidence.

"Wang Dong." Xiaoxia suddenly called me with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Well, what's wrong?" I turned my head and asked her curiously.

"Did you notice that sister just now? She is really sexy and has beautiful breasts." Xiaoxia whispered in my ear, with a hint of excitement and curiosity in her voice.

"You saw it too?" I smiled. I didn't expect Xiaoxia also noticed the beautiful neighbor.

"Of course, her neckline is so low, how could you not see it?" Xiaoxia responded, her eyes gleaming with gossip.

"Hey, Wang Dong, are you attracted to her?" Xiao Xia suddenly joked with a playful smile on her face.

"Ah? Please forgive me." I waved my hands hastily to deny, "Look, she should be over 30 years old. You know, I don't like older people."

"Haha, really?" Xiaoxia looked at me and suddenly laughed, "I was just teasing you. You look so nervous."

"Okay, let's go." I breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiaoxia with a smile.

"It's still early, why don't we go to the first gate of City A?" Xiaoxia suggested, her face full of anticipation.

"Well, okay." I nodded and agreed to her suggestion.

"I have to say that the transportation in City A is very convenient." I sighed, "There is a subway station right where we live. It's really convenient."

Since arriving in this city, she has made all the arrangements along the way. This time, we arrived in front of the subway station, and I was secretly delighted, thinking that this time it was finally my turn to show off my subway knowledge.

"Xiao Xia, look, there's a subway station ahead." I pointed to a place not far away and said, "The subway in City A is really convenient. It can reach almost every corner of the city."

"Really? I've never taken the subway in City A." Xiaoxia looked at me curiously.

"Hehe, this time I have to show off myself." I was secretly happy and prepared to show off in front of Xiaoxia.

We walked into the subway station, and Xiaoxia pointed at the escalator and said, "Look at this escalator, it extends very deep downwards, as if it is leading to another world."

"Go away, stop talking nonsense, it sounds scary." I stopped her from continuing.

Then, we came to the platform of Line 2. I cleared my throat and said, imitating the tone of Dr. Chen before, "You see, this Line 2 is a loop, Xiaoxia, come and see how to get to the first gate of City A."

I was secretly pleased with myself, thinking that Xiaoxia would be confused and ask me for advice. However, what I didn't expect was...

"Wang Dong, let's take the train in this direction, then transfer to Line 1 and ride two more stops to reach the first gate of City A." Xiao Xia said, pointing in a direction.

I was stunned. Why was the script different from what I imagined?

"How did you know?" I asked curiously.

"Look at this map, isn't it clearly written?" Xiaoxia pointed at the subway map next to her and said, "It's so simple, but you still want to stump me. You're so stupid."

I looked in the direction of her finger and found that the circuit map had been updated and was clearer and more intuitive than before.

"It's over, my plan has failed." I sighed helplessly.

After exiting the subway station, Xiaoxia was shocked by the scene in front of her. The first gate of City A was bustling with people coming and going. She excitedly pulled me into the gate.

"Wang Dong, let's come earlier next time and buy tickets to go into the museum." Xiao Xia suggested.

"Hasn't he come in now?" I asked doubtfully.

"Oh, you're silly, it's still very big inside." Xiaoxia explained with a smile.

"How do you know?" I asked curiously.

"My father told me about this place before. He came here when he was young, and this is what he is most proud of. And I have also looked up information online before, and I have already understood most of it." Xiaoxia said proudly.

"Oh, I see." I scratched my head and decided it would be better to say less, otherwise I would be called a fool again.

Led by Xiaoxia, we strolled through the first gate of City A. Like a little tour guide, she introduced the history and culture of this place to me in detail. Listening to her explanation, I couldn't help but sigh at her erudition.

"Xiao Xia, I think you should be a tour guide." I said sincerely, "You speak really well."

"Haha, really? Please stop praising me. I'll lose my way if you do." Xiaoxia responded with a smile.

"Come on, it's time to eat, let's go eat." I suggested, my stomach already starting to growl.

We returned to our residence and found a small restaurant that looked clean. However, when I picked up the menu, I couldn't help but frown.

"Wang Dong, look at the vegetable prices, why are they so expensive?" Xiaoxia whispered in my ear, with a little displeasure on her face.

I sighed helplessly and explained, "Maybe the rent here is expensive, so the prices of the dishes have increased accordingly."

I felt conflicted. I wanted to leave the restaurant, but I was embarrassed to leave. After all, the boss had already poured tea for us enthusiastically, and it would be impolite to leave now.

Xiaoxia was also shy. She glanced at me and seemed to be hesitating. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it. Let's spend money today."

I flipped through the menu, trying to find a dish with a relatively reasonable price. Suddenly, my eyes stopped at Kung Pao Chicken. "Hey, Xiaoxia, how about we order this Kung Pao Chicken? Twenty yuan is a reasonable price, and this dish has both vegetables and meat."

"Boss, give me some Kung Pao Chicken and two bowls of rice." I shouted loudly to the boss.

However, Xiaoxia suddenly interrupted me: "Boss, just a bowl of rice."

I looked at her in confusion: "Xiao Xia, why do you only want a bowl of rice?"

She smiled and explained, "I don't eat rice, so just order a bowl for yourself. I like vegetables, so just eat more."

I shook my head helplessly, knowing her temper. So I nodded and said, "Okay, then a bowl of rice."

We were the only table of customers in the restaurant, so the dishes were cooked quickly. The boss brought the dishes to us, and I picked up a piece of chicken and tasted it, but I almost spit it out.

"Pah, why is this chicken so bitter?" I said with a frown.

Xiaoxia also tasted it and frowned and said, "It's not bitter, it's salty and bitter."

I picked up another piece and tasted it. It was indeed too salty. I put down my chopsticks and shouted to the boss: "Boss, did the salt shaker fall into your dish? Why is it so salty?"

The boss came over after hearing the noise, took a bite of the dish but shook his head and said, "It's not salty, I think it tastes just right."

I was so angry that I almost slammed the table, but Xiaoxia stopped me and advised: "Forget it, it's our first day here, don't cause trouble."

I put down my chopsticks, facing the plate of salty and bitter Kung Pao Chicken, and shook my head helplessly: "Then how do I eat this dish?"

Xiaoxia looked at the dish, then at the tea on the table, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Hmm... there's tea, how about we try to eat it with it?"

I widened my eyes, looking at her serious expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey, you are the one with the idea. This is the first time I heard of cooking with tea."

"Let's give it a try. This dish is too salty anyway. I won't be able to bear it if I eat it directly." Xiaoxia picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of diced chicken and put it into the tea.

"Okay, let's just eat it while it's hot pot!" I nodded with a smile and picked up a piece of diced chicken and put it into the tea.

We picked up the chicken pieces one by one and put them in the tea before eating. You know what, after the tea, the saltiness of the chicken pieces was indeed much lighter, at least it was swallowable. We have all heard of shabu-shabu mutton, but I think we are the only one who can shabu-shabu Kung Pao chicken.

However, after rinsing for ten or so yuan, the tea water had become very salty. I frowned, looking at the increasingly salty tea water, and said to Xiaoxia: "This water is too salty, we have to pour it out and get a new pot of tea water to rinse."

Xiaoxia nodded, and we poured out the tea together and poured a new pot of tea to continue rinsing. In this way, we finished the pot of tea very quickly, and the plate of Kung Pao Chicken was basically eaten by us.

I stood up and prepared to check out. When I walked to the front desk, I said to the boss, "Boss, check out."

The boss picked up the calculator and pressed a few buttons, then looked up and said to me, "A total of twenty-four yuan."

I was stunned for a moment: "Eh? Boss, this is not right. We only ordered a bowl of rice, Kung Pao Chicken is 20 yuan, and rice is 2 yuan, shouldn't the total be 22 yuan?"

The boss smiled and explained, "Oh, there is also a tableware fee, one yuan per set. I charge less here, other places charge two yuan per set."

I sighed helplessly, thinking that although the meal was not very good, I didn't need to argue with the boss over two dollars. So I took out my wallet, paid the bill, and left the restaurant with Xiaoxia.

On the way back to my residence, I couldn't help but say to Xiaoxia, "This restaurant is such a rip-off. The food is so bad, and they charge for tableware. If it were in our place, it would have closed down long ago."

It was already late when we got back to our residence. At this time, everyone had basically started to go home after get off work. The first person I saw was the tenant who lived in the kitchen. It was a man who lived there. I couldn't tell if he was in his twenties or thirties. I chatted with him and only knew that he lived alone. His kitchen was separated into two rooms. The beauty I met when I came here lived in the other room. The two rooms were not big, slightly bigger than ours, about three square meters, and the rent was more than 800 yuan.

He told me that there was a master bedroom opposite us, with four or five women living in it. They were said to be white-collar workers with good jobs, going to get off work and coming home on time every day. But this family didn't like to talk to others, and I had hardly spoken a few words to them since they moved in.

"Oh, what about the family next to me? How many people live there?" I asked curiously.

"Except for the room I live in and the master bedroom I just mentioned, all the other rooms are occupied by couples like you. I'm the only one who's alone in this room." He said self-deprecatingly.

"There are so many people living in such a small house." I sighed.

"I can tell you've just arrived in City A. It's like this here, and the other rooms are the same. If the agent doesn't divide it up like this, no one can afford to rent it. A house costs at least 8,000 yuan a month. Do you think I'm right?

I tell you, if you have nothing to do at night, take a shower and go to bed early, it’s too noisy and you won’t be able to sleep if you stay up late.” He said with a mysterious smile.

"Oh, thank you for your reminder," this elder brother is still a kind-hearted person.

Xiaoxia and I had nothing to do at night, so we washed up early and went to bed to play computer games. Then we heard someone coming back from next to us. It turned out to be a couple. This broken board has no sound insulation at all, and we can hear everything clearly. Our two families living here are like one family.

"The sound insulation in Wang Dong's room is very poor." Xiao Xia said.

"Well, that's true. Why don't we rest early? After all, the soundproofing here is not very good. If we talk about some private topics, it will be easy for others to hear us." After that, he turned off the lights and prepared to go to sleep, but before he fell asleep, he heard a burst of laughter coming from next door. The conversation between the two people was clearly audible, which made people blush.

"Oh my God, Wang Dong, it's too noisy here!" Xiaoxia couldn't help but complain.

Before the noise here died down, similar sounds were heard from the other side, and from the direction they came, it seemed to be the room of the beautiful lady I had seen during the day.

She doesn't live alone and has a male companion, but she just wasn't seen during the day.

At this time, sounds of beating and scolding came from the room diagonally opposite. I didn't notice when his family came back. They should be a couple.

I heard the woman first using words to curse the man's mother, and then I heard the sound of beating. It should be the man beating the woman. The woman started to curse the man again, and the man beat her again. At this time, the sound of beating and cursing mixed together.
