our supernatural life

It was dark when the wheat came out of the printing house.This is the way to do this job, there is no time to get off work.Originally, Chi Lili was responsible for this matter, but Luo Wei fainted on the road a few days ago, and was sent to the hospital to check that there was a problem with the mitral valve of her heart and needed surgery. I also handed it over to Mai, so I was extraordinarily busy.The weather was abnormal, the first two days were surprisingly warm, and these two days suddenly became cold again, especially when I was hungry, I felt cold all over my body.Pressing his rumbling stomach, Mai decided to find a place nearby to eat before going home.This place is also on the edge of Taitung, and there are many more places to eat than where he lives.

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder lightly, and when Mai Mai turned his head, the person behind him smiled and showed his white teeth: "We meet again, are you here to shop?" It was the young owner of the jewelry store in Taitung.

Mai Mai smiled back at him: "No, I just came out of the printing factory. What is the boss doing here?"

"My surname is Zheng, Zheng Yunshu, just call me by my first name, don't call me the boss, am I that old?" Zheng Yunshu said with a playful smile.

When he smiles, he shows his white teeth, and the corners of his mouth are opened wider, revealing two small canine teeth on both sides, making him look very young and cute.Mai Mai couldn't help but look at him more.Zheng Yunshu smiled even more happily: "Why, are you fascinated by me?"

Mai's heart skipped a beat. Between GAY and GAY, there is probably a kind of similar feeling. It is very common for men to joke casually, but Xiaomai just thinks that Zheng Yunshu's words have some other meaning.

"I'm here to buy red bayberry. There's a small shop here that sells pickled fruits. Pickled red bayberry and black plum are especially delicious." Zheng Yunshu shook the box in his hand, and suddenly said, "It's cold enough, come over for a cup of hot coffee? I The technique of making coffee is very good." He said, looking up at the wheat, perhaps reflected by the neon lights next to him, his eyes were as bright as amber.Mai Mai couldn't turn his eyes away for a few seconds, and nodded unconsciously: "Okay."

The jewelry store was closed, and Zheng Yunshu took out the key to open the door.This store was sandwiched between two clothing stores. At this time, other stores had already started to receive customers, but the people who entered and exited did not pay attention to this small store.Mai Mai couldn't help asking: "How is the business?"

"It's okay, they are all repeat customers." Zheng Yunshu let him in as he said, and then half-closed the store door, "I don't expect it to make a fortune, just make a living. Sit down." He pointed to the door over there. Folding table, "Put your hands aside, I'll make coffee." The tone is natural and friendly, which makes people feel unspeakably comfortable.After speaking, he smiled, and walked into the back with the bag.

Mai Mai set aside the folding table and sat down.The aroma of coffee soon wafted from the back room.In fact, Mai Mai doesn't like drinking coffee very much, and what attracts him is not coffee, but Zheng Yunshu's smiling face.It has been more than a month since Wei Yan left. I don't know if it really hurt his heart too much, or because of the heavy financial pressure and busy work, he seldom thinks of Wei Yan.But seeing Zheng Yunshu's smile now, he realized that he was actually very lonely in the city of Binhai.

Ding—the wind chime hanging by the back door rang crisply.Mai Mai looked up, it wasn't that Zheng Yunshu had come out, and he didn't feel the wind, but the hanging wind chimes were shaking slightly.Mai Mai walked over and looked up, suddenly felt that the wind chime seemed a little different from the last time I saw it, it seemed that there was something more than before.

What's more?Mai Mai was thinking hard, Zheng Yunshu came out with coffee: "Okay, this coffee is not bad." With something in his mouth, Mai Mai smelled the slightly sour scent of bayberry, which seemed to be the pickled fruit he just bought.

Mai Mai sat down and watched him neatly set aside the cup, poured coffee, then picked up the creamer jug ​​on the plate, and said with a smile: "I like to add creamer to coffee, otherwise it will be too bitter for me to drink. He turned his wrist neatly, and the milky white creamer poured into the cup, gradually forming a tiger head pattern.

Maimai couldn't help but be amazed: "It's great!" The white creamer washed out of the white fur, leaving brown stripes, especially the eyes are two small pieces of coffee liquid, slightly rippling, reflecting the light like two The eyes that keep blinking are extremely vivid.Maimai looked at it carefully, and gradually felt that these two eyes were staring at him as if they were alive.Xiaomai suddenly remembered that he had seen a tiger topic in the animal world, in which there was a set of frontal shots of tigers hunting - the tiger stared at the prey, with focused eyes and full of murderous intent.It is said that the sight of a tiger can make the prey panic and even run away. Xiaomai suddenly felt like a rabbit being stared at by a tiger, and he couldn't look away.The lights around him seemed to be far away, and he seemed to be in the forest, and in front of him was a tiger, hidden behind the tree, only revealing a pair of faint green eyes, staring at him closely.The body of the tiger lies down slightly, its tail sways slightly, and the next moment it will jump up and insert its sharp teeth into the throat of the prey...

The heavy music of "Symphony of Destiny" suddenly sounded, and Maimai was startled suddenly, the scene in front of him suddenly disappeared, what he was still looking at was the cup of coffee, and the edge of the tiger's head that the creamer rushed out was a little blurred.Zheng Yunshu also seemed startled by the phone ringtone: "Your phone?"

Mai Mai took the phone out of his pocket apologetically: "Excuse me for answering the call—hello?"

Chi Lili's voice choked slightly: "Mai, where are you?"

"Oh, I'm in Taitung. I just came home from the printing factory. What's the matter? What happened?"

"Luo Wei..." Chi Lili held back for a while, but still couldn't help crying, "She's gone..."

Wheat didn't react for a few seconds.Luo Wei?So a young and energetic girl would actually die?Isn't it just a problem with the mitral valve?How could he die suddenly?

"The one who died on the operating table..." Chi Lili broke down in tears, "It was said that the heart stopped beating suddenly, and after an hour and a half of rescue, it still didn't..."

"I, I'll go right away." Mai Mai didn't know if he could help at this time, but he wanted to see Luo Wei.After hanging up the phone, he got up hastily: "A friend of mine passed away suddenly, I, I have to go to the hospital."

"Oh." Zheng Yunshu said considerately, "There are fresh snacks in the store, take some to eat on the way. My condolences, don't be too sad."

Mai went straight to the hospital.Pang Fengyun, Lu Wei, and Chi Lili were all there, while Luo Wei was lying quietly on the iron bed covered with a white sheet.Chi Lili's eyes were already red from crying, and Lu Wei stood dumbfounded, holding Luo Wei's hand that was exposed outside the bed sheet.Mai Mai knew that he liked Luo Wei, although he didn't say it, everyone knew it.Fighting and quarreling every day is just for fun, and now the person who can fight with him has gone, and his happiness has been taken away.

Pang Fengyun was the first to wipe away his tears, and called Maizi out of the room: "Maizi, you saw it too, Luo Wei—" His voice choked up, and he endured it for a few seconds before continuing, "As soon as Luo Wei leaves , our magazine may not be able to continue, we have to find another way. You see—"

Mai understood what he meant.Luo Wei is the full contributor of the magazine's manuscripts. Once she dies, the magazine will definitely not be able to continue.In other words, he lost his job again.

"I see. I'll just find a job again. Don't worry."

Pang Fengyun nodded, looking a little embarrassed: "There is something I want to discuss with you. Luo Wei's surgery, almost all of our money has been used. You also know that this month's advertising fee has not been returned. We also know that it is very troublesome to suddenly not have a job. We originally wanted to pay you a month's salary, but now we really can't move around... Look, can we give you your salary when the money comes back next month? It must be two Monthly, we will definitely not give less, just now—"

Mai Mai stopped him: "I know. Everyone feels bad about Sister Luo's accident. You can take care of her funeral first. When the money comes back, just send it to the card for me. Look, what else can I do to help?" busy?"

Pang Fengyun said gratefully: "Thank you. From now on, nothing will happen...Luo Wei has a younger sister, and she has already notified her that she will come to Binhai tomorrow. I have to wait for her to plan the rest of the matter. You, You don't have to come here tomorrow, and we know that this sudden accident will definitely cause you a lot of trouble, so you should hurry up and find a job again, I'm sorry."

Mai Mai said goodbye to him, left the bank card number, and walked out of the hospital.Looking at the night sky, he was a little worried.Finding a job is sometimes a matter of luck, and you may not be able to find a suitable job right away.However, the expenses of rent, water, electricity, food and clothing are actually there.The rent is a big one. He has already posted a post on the Internet asking for a co-tenant, but no one has applied so far.

A drop of water fell on his forehead, followed by another drop, which turned into bean-sized raindrops within a few minutes.Mai Mai ran away with his head in his arms, this man was unlucky, why can't he even drink cold water to stuff his teeth?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and after getting off the bus, Mai Mai ran away with his head in his arms. It was only a dozen steps, and his clothes were soaked through.Just when he ran to the gate of the community, a car rushed over and almost ran into him.Mai Mai quickly jumped to the side, and with a bang, the muddy water splashed on his pants, the car slid two steps to a stop, and the owner rolled down the window: "Why did you crash into the car at night?" Li was a little impatient.

Mai Mai covered the glare headlights with her hands, and replied in a very unhappy mood: "How do you drive?" The street light at the gate of the community was broken, and there was a large truck parked at the corner, neither of the two parties saw each other, saying It seems that one person is half responsible, but how did the car owner talk?Who is okay to hit the car?

There were no lights in the car.Mai Mai couldn't see the appearance of the car owner either, but thought it should be a young man, the cigarette butt on his mouth was shining red and flickering slightly.Mai glanced at the car, it was a Pajero.Driving this kind of off-road vehicle in the city, he intuitively felt that the owner of the car was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Anyway, his clothes were already wet, and splashing a little muddy water was nothing, so he didn't intend to cause trouble, and turned his head into the community.

The weather in April is said to be warm, but it is still a bit cold at night. The wheat is as wet as a soaked chicken, and the breeze blows really cools the heart. As soon as I ran into the house, I was busy turning on the water heater to take a bath.Just as he took off his clothes here, the door rang over there.Mai Mai wondered, could it be that the landlord has not come home at this time?Also too persistent!While thinking, he casually put on a T-shirt and went to open the door.When he opened the door, he was a strange man, dressed in a silver-gray casual suit, with the collar of his shirt unruly open, revealing a strong neck and a bit of collarbone.When the visitor saw Mai Mai's appearance, he frowned slightly: "Are you Mr. Mai?"

Mai was stunned for a moment: "Yes, my surname is Mai. Who are you?"

The visitor nodded: "That's right. I'm here to rent a house." After speaking, he went straight into the house without waiting for Mai Mai to let him go.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Mai Mai thought it sounded familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly remembered: "You—you are the one who drove at the gate of the community?" The one who almost hit him just now!Didn't expect him to be so handsome.

The visitor nodded casually: "Sorry, I didn't see you."

Mai Mai felt that what he said was very insincere, but he finally apologized: "Then, what's your surname, sir?"

"My surname is Shao, Shao Jing." The visitor reported his name and had already looked in the house, "This house is still clean."

Mai Mai thought that I cleaned it every day, of course it was clean.Shao Jing looked around, then turned around and said, "I will rent for three months."

Wheat hesitated.He wanted to find a long-term co-renter. If he only rented for three months, he would have to find another person after three months, which would be very troublesome.He was considering whether to agree, but Shao Jing had already said, "I don't have time to do cleaning, so I'll pay a little more. I saw you said on the Internet that the monthly rent is [-], right? I'll pay [-]."

Wheat was heartbroken.Although the rent is only for three months, he will only pay [-] rent for these three months, which is also a good deal: "Then there are water, electricity and gas bills to be equal—"

Shao Jing waved his hand impatiently: "I don't have time to do that, and I don't eat here. So, I'll pay one thousand and one, is that enough?"

Wheat's head went down faster than his thoughts: "Enough." The rent of this house is 300 yuan, and the monthly water, electricity, and gas bills are only [-] yuan for two people. If Shao Jing pays [-] yuan, he will It's like a white house.Although Shao Jing only lived for three months, it was a good deal!

Seeing him nodding, Shao Jing took out his wallet and threw a stack of money on the table: "Which room do I live in?"

"This one." This one faces south, Mai Mai originally wanted to live by herself, but now that Shao Jing spent a thousand and one, let him have this room.

Shao Jing nodded casually.Mai asked: "Mr. Shao's luggage—"

Shao Jing was slightly stunned: "I have no luggage."

Mai Mai was also stunned: "What about the quilt..."

Shao Jing seemed to have never thought about the issue of quilts, and he was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "There is no quilt here?"

Mai Mai felt very helpless: "Yes, but it is not new, but it is clean. Mr. Shao, why don't you let it go and buy a new one tomorrow?" How can anyone rent a house without bringing their own bedding?It's not a hotel.But judging by Shao Jing's appearance, he must be used to living in hotels, and he checked in with his bags, so he didn't worry about anything.But looking at the car he drives and the clothes he wears, it doesn't look like he wants to share a house with someone.

Shao Jing was a little embarrassed: "That's fine. I'm sorry to trouble you." This sentence is much more polite.Mai Mai hurriedly said no trouble, while opening the closet to get the quilt.In the past, he and Wei Yan lived together, but now he lives alone, so he naturally saved a set of quilts. After Wei Yan left, he wanted to throw away the quilts, but in the end he was reluctant, so he cleaned them up and put them away. Unexpectedly It came in handy today.

As soon as Shao Jing took over the quilt, his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone with the quilt in one hand and said, "Hello? It's me... I already said that I would do this. Can you stop talking? Time? I said three days Within? If you can’t wait for three days, find someone else! I don’t care what official he is! If his official function can solve this matter, let him handle it by himself. Let me tell you, I’m here to find someone this time , just look at your face, otherwise I don't care at all... You don't have to worry about it, I have a place to live. One last thing, don't tell anyone that I'm here, otherwise I will let this matter go at any time. Okay, I hang up ——If there is anything else to say, hurry up..."

Mai Mai saw that it was inconvenient for him to hold the quilt under his arm and hold the pillow in his hand, and he was still on the phone, so she took the quilt and sent him to the bedroom.Shao Jing said a few words impatiently, then hung up the phone, turned his head to see Mai, and frowned: "Mr. Mai, there is something I want to say in particular."

Mai Mai froze for a moment: "What's the matter?"

"Since this house has been rented to me, I have a problem and don't want others to enter my room. If I close the door, please don't disturb me no matter what happens."

Mai felt a little unhappy.What does this person mean?He is in this room now, didn't he come to help out of good intentions?If it wasn't inconvenient for Shao Jing to make a phone call with the quilt in his arms, he thought he was willing to be troublesome?But for the sake of money, he held back, nodded and walked out of the room.Forget it, he won't have to worry about the rent for at least three months, so he should hurry up and find a job again.
