What to do if you are spotted by the straight man next door

Friendly reminder: This episode takes place in a parallel world. It is a story that happened after Ellen died and Su Bin traveled back to the past. Please do not substitute it into the main text.

------

In a drowsy state, Su Bin smelled the smell of wooden furniture unique to the hotel. He raised his heavy eyelids and was stunned for a while before realizing that he was lying in a room that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Familiar because he has been here before, he remembers, unfamiliar because the time is so far away, he almost forgot - this is the youth hostel he stayed in the night he first arrived in country b.

Memories soon followed as he recalled vigorously. Su Bin's heart was hit hard, and he covered his face with his hands... Ellen died.

Yes, Ellen was attacked by thugs in the "Boss Su" restaurant, and died after being sent to the hospital. At that time, Su Bin was hiding in L City to escape Ellen's "crazy love", waiting for the moment when he learned the bad news Only then did I realize how much I loved that person, so much that I would rather die with him.

However, he regarded the relationship between the two parties as a bond of oath, and went in the wrong direction from the beginning, so that in the end, he failed to convey his feelings to the other party.

It was too late to give him the ring, too late to say "I love you" to him... Regret and remorse overwhelmed Su Bin, making him immersed in pain and self-blame and unable to extricate himself.

Perhaps it was because he had been so overwhelmed these past few days that he suddenly passed out.

...But why did I wake up here?

Su Bin blinked his eyes, propped himself up and looked around, and then he saw his suitcase.

Strange, why is this suitcase so new?There is also the coat hanging on the back of the chair, no matter how familiar it looks... Su Bin bounced off the bed suddenly, he rushed to the side of the suitcase to check the shipping label on the handle——20.sep, 200x.

"...!!!"

What's going on, this is the day when he just went abroad, why is this label still here?

Then, Su Bin found two packs of instant noodles in his schoolbag... He found his "old" mobile phone and checked the time!

Ten minutes later, Su Bin sat down on the chair, sweating profusely—Nimma, he has crossed over!

He went back to September three years ago, the first day he arrived in country b, he hadn't moved into a shared house, he didn't know Yang Chengzhe and Jin Fei, and he didn't even meet Ellen!

…So, Ellen is still alive now!

Aware of this miraculous development, Su Bin once thought he was dreaming. After pinching out several lumps on his arm, he accepted the reality with tears in his eyes.

Immediately, Su Bin rushed to the agent who got the lease news without stopping!

Cook instant noodles for Taylor?Go to the International Student Center to register and apply?Receive the "Guidelines for Overseas Students"? ... Su Bin has long left these plot tasks behind, and directly entered the "veteran player mode".

After experiencing the pain of losing Ellen, Su Bin has already recognized the first task of returning to the past - chasing Ellen!

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen... Amitabha, God forbid, nothing in this world is more important than seeing you alive and with you!

While Su Bin recited the confession silently in his heart, he rushed into the door of the agency panting—"I want to rent a house!"

Startled by the sudden shout, the staff calmed down and asked, "Renting a house? Oh! What do you need?"

Su Bin blurted out hastily: "The house located at No. x, block x, is 4000 meters away from M. The tenants are all Chinese. There is a second bedroom facing southeast for rent. The bathroom is shared. The rent is xxx..."

staff member:"……"

Su Bin took a breath, stroked his chest and said, "This house just came out yesterday, that's all, I want it!"

staff member:"……"

A few minutes later, the staff who found out the listing looked at Su Bin in astonishment, and asked a little uncertainly, "Do you... know the landlord?"

Su Bin nodded, then shook his head violently. He remembered that the staff had to call Ellen to confirm. In case he told Ellen on the phone that the tenant knew Ellen, lovely Ellen "at this moment" He clearly doesn't know himself yet, and with the cautious character of the other party, he might refuse.

The staff looked at Su Bin suspiciously, and called Ellen.

But immediately, the staff gave Su Bin a regretful expression: "I'm sorry, sir, the landlord didn't answer the phone, how about this, please leave your phone number, we will contact you later and let you know. Can I let you go to see the house?"

Su Bin: "..."

——It's over, time difference!

The last time I came to the agency was at noon, and when the staff called, Ellen answered it directly, but this time it was in the morning!

Su Bin looked at the time impatiently, and asked the staff, "Please save this house for me. I'll go out and apply for a student card and a mobile phone card, and I'll be back in an hour!"

staff member:"……"

When buying a sim card, Su Bin inevitably saw all his text messages and call records, even including the "unsent" text message when he boarded the plane. Chen Xiaotian broke up!

After replacing the new card, Su Bin hesitated for a moment, then dialed Chen Xiaotian's phone number—"Chen Xiaotian..."

"...Why did you call so late? I waited for you until two o'clock in the morning last night." Chen Xiaotian on the other end of the phone said worriedly.

The response was exactly the same as in memory, with a worrying tone, but it couldn't move Su Bin any more. He paused, and calmly said, "Chen Xiaotian, let's break up."

Chen Xiaotian: "..."

"I know you like Huang Zhengming, he told me." Maybe you have always regarded me as a younger brother, so my liking and attachment to you will only become your burden, day after day, making you overwhelmed ... If I let the mistake be the middle finger at this moment, you won't hate me so much and try to get rid of me, and I won't pay so much wishful thinking, like a fool who is fooled by others. "Thank you for being with me before, I hope you and Rhubarb can be happy together, goodbye." Su Bin said sincerely.

"Su Bin..." Chen Xiaotian's voice had a hint of embarrassment that was difficult to understand, but before she could say the next sentence, Su Bin cut off the phone.

Once again, he will definitely not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Returning to the agency, this time, the call from the staff to Ellen was successfully connected.

Su Bin eagerly waited for the other party to relay Ellen's request. He even practiced how to answer the staff several times in his mind, but unexpectedly, after stating Su Bin's intention of renting a house to Xiang Ailun, he handed him the phone directly. : "Mr. Su, the landlord wants to talk to you directly."

Su Bin: "..." qaq Nani?

Tremblingly took the receiver, Su Bin panicked all of a sudden, what's going on, that's not how the script came about!

The last time Ellen asked him to answer the phone when he decided to let him go to see the house, why did he come this time... Could it be that he acted too impatiently? orz "Hello..." Su Bin's voice trembled involuntarily.

"Hi, I'm Ellen."

Hearing the polite but alienated voice on the other end of the phone, Su Bin's eyes instantly moistened q_q... (Intermediary staff: "...")

Ellen, Ellen, Ellen...

I miss you……

There are countless things I want to say, whether I like it or love it, I want to spit it out all at once, I can't miss it anymore, I don't want to lose it anymore... This person is my own.

But a thousand words are beyond words.

Because in that case, Ellen would definitely regard him as crazy.

Su Bin burst into tears π_π... (Intermediary staff: "...")

"Nice to meet you, Ellen," Su Bin suppressed the throbbing and sentimentality in his heart, and choked up, "I am a very quiet person, I don't keep pets, I can cook, just now... I broke up with my ex-girlfriend in China gone."

Ellen: "I'm sorry."

Su Bin: "..." Why should I apologize?Have you been rejected?Ellen doesn't rent a house for herself? q mouth q!No!Where is the mistake?

Ellen paused, and said, "Your tone sounds very sad. I hope meeting new friends can make you happy."

Su Bin: "..." Uh, Ellen was comforting herself... to break up?Oops.

Ellen: "If it's convenient, you can come to see the house today. My roommate is at home."

Without any demands, and without unnecessary questions or difficulties, Ellen accepted this new roommate whom she had never met very naturally.

After returning the phone to the staff, Su Bin was still in a daze.

Although the process of renting a house was slightly different from the first time, the first impression Ellen gave him was still so warm.

Because there was no need to turn around, Su Bin took his suitcase and went to "view the house". Yang Chengzhe was a little surprised at the desperateness of this "new roommate", and also found that Su Bin, who had just arrived here, did not show any novelty to this place. Everything is clear.

However, all doubts disappeared after Su Bin scrambled to cook a "delicious meal" for Yang Chengzhe, and Su Bin was also relieved that he had escaped.

After the meal, the two sat on the sofa chatting, Su Bin suddenly said: "Brother Cheng, can I ask you something?"

"If you need anything, just ask." Yang Chengzhe touched his swollen stomach, obviously already captured by this handsome young man who is humble and can cook.

Su Bin: "Can you not change rooms with Ellen?"

This question was a bit of a surprise to Yang Chengzhe. He had just mentioned Ellen's need for private space and her severe cleanliness to Su Bin. He thought that with Su Bin's personality, he would be more willing to share a suite with him.

"To be honest, I really can't guarantee this to you." Yang Chengzhe scratched his head, wondering why, "Although Ellen is not a person who is difficult to negotiate, but before I planned to rent that single room to my classmate, I Promise to Ellen first, he has the absolute right to choose the room, so..."

"I know," Su Bin nodded and interrupted Yang Chengzhe, "I will try my best to get along with Ellen. If he is really not used to it and must live alone, there is no way. But, change the room Please don't bring it up first, okay?"

Yang Chengzhe: "You mean... let nature take its course?"

"Yeah." Su Bin remembered that the last time he attracted Ellen's attention was because of the "stupid post on the cliff" incident where he suspected that his roommate was a vampire, but this kind of stupid Su Bin would never do it again knowingly.

Su Bin was also a little worried about his behavior of changing "history". He was not sure if he would have attracted Ellen's special attention if he hadn't had the same experience.

To be honest, even last time, Su Bin didn't understand why Ellen chose him. Ellen's answer was "predestined", but Su Bin felt that there was no basis for it... However, as long as there is love in the heart, everything will change. Keep it simple, right?Su Bin encouraged himself.
