Can't Save the World by Pretending to be Dead

At noon, real estate agent Xiao Liu came to sign the contract with the key and the contract.

Xiao Liu, a real estate agent with neat short hair, did not come to the door empty-handed. He carried a bag of fruit and smiled when he opened the door: "Mr. Lian, Mr. Su, long time no see. The apples and watermelons I picked at the fruit shop downstairs are all fresh. You have a taste."

Even Xi was not polite, took the fruit, and Su Jiao ran to the kitchen to get a bottle of ice water for the little girl.

Lian Xi: "Thank you, I'll trouble you to come over."

Xiao Liu: "It's my turn to thank you. You actually opened another business for me. I have made ten business deals in total this month, and two of them belong to you! The landlord is out of town now, so I will keep the keys for you. Just help the landlord sign the contract with you. Who wants to rent a house, which one to choose?" While talking, Xiao Liu looked around curiously.

Coincidentally, Mr. Xi walked out of the room.

Lian Xi smiled: "That's him."

Looking at the handsome and cold man in black, Xiao Liu's eyes widened suddenly, and the roots of his ears began to turn red silently.She faltered and nodded, and frantically took out a rental contract from her file bag.

Seeing this, Su Jiao poked Lian Xi's arm speechlessly, and whispered, "She actually likes this one?"

"..." Lian Xi had nothing to say.

The short roommate snorted and was extremely unconvinced: "Aren't I handsome? Besides, even if you don't look at me, aren't you handsome? She actually likes this one?" She didn't blush when she signed the rental contract for both of us!

Lian Xi thought for a while, then quietly looked at the man beside him.

In the next second, Ji Chen turned his gaze, and met Lian Xi's eyes flatly.

Lian Xi was taken aback, raised the corners of his lips, smiled and nodded.

Mr. Xi: ...Huh?

Of course Lian Xi doesn't know which one the young girl likes.

Girls these days like a variety of styles.Lian Xi has received countless love letters since he was a child, but he is not RMB, so he cannot guarantee that every girl likes him.But from the looks of it, Xiao Liu really seems to like Hei Wuchang's.

But then again, what kind of money is this?

cool dude?handsome guy?

Iceberg cold noodles?

Does Didi come to your door and send you a free "Have you reincarnated today" money?

……

Lian Xi's brains diverged for no reason, and after thinking for a while, Xiao Liu blushed and handed the rental contract to Chen Chen. "That, that... Let's see if there is any problem."

The man raised his eyebrows lightly, and said lightly, "Huh?" What is this?

Xiao Liu ignored him, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the rental contract, and hurriedly explained: "Our company's rental contracts are all the same, and the template set by the head office is universal, so there will be no problem. Of course, if you There are still some details that I want to confirm, and I can talk to you."

Lian Xi took the rental contract over: "I'll just take a look."

Xiao Liu: "Um, fine."

This rental contract is the same as the one Lian Xi signed before. Lian Xi took a rough look and said, "No problem, let's sign the contract directly. He lives in the room next door to me."

Xiao Liu handed over the pen: "Then sign it."

Lian Xi took the pen and was about to sign it, but Xiao Liu was stunned: "Didn't I ask this gentleman to sign it?"

Lian Xi said calmly, "I'll just sign. Is there any question?"

Xiao Liu: "It's not impossible..."

Lian Xi quickly signed his name on the rental contract, and Mr. Xi stood by the sofa, lowering his eyes to see the two flamboyant words on the white paper.

"Lian Xi. 』

Even Xi.

Xiao Liu accepted the contract: "Okay, the contract will be signed. Then, let's take a look at the ID card."

Mr. Xi snorted, "ID card?"

Lian Xi: "..."

Actually forgot about it!

Xiao Liu: "Yes, the ID card. Although it doesn't matter what you sign, after all, this is a haunted house. You know, and the landlord also hopes to rent out more. But you still have to check the ID card. This is our company's procedure. Otherwise, you won't Knowing who lives there, if something happens, it’s hard to explain.”

Lian Xi winked at Su Jiao: think of a way.

Shorty Roommate: Huh?What can I do?

Lian Xi looked at Xiao Liu without changing his face: "He lost his ID card two days ago, and he is re-applying. Now, I will take a photo and send it to you later."

Xiao Liu didn't think too much about it: "Okay, that's fine. Then I'll open the door to the new bedroom for you. Come and have a look."

The short-haired girl took the key and walked in front.Lian Xi, Ji Chen and Su Jiao followed behind.

There was a bunch of keys in Xiao Liu's hand. She stood in front of the door and searched for a long time, but she still couldn't find the right key.

In front of the locked door, Lian Xi waited patiently, when suddenly he felt his arm was poked.He subconsciously thought it was Su Jiao, and threw him away, too lazy to talk to him: He was thinking about how to solve the issue of the boss' ID card!

He who was thrown away was always a little confused: "...?"

There was a calm and unchanging look on the stern and profound face, Master Hei Wuchang calmly reached out his hand again, and lightly touched Lian Xi again.

"What are you doing...uh, Mr. Hei Wuchang?" The voice stopped abruptly, Lian Xi smiled, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes slowly opened, "Is there something wrong?"

Su Jiao at the side: "Hmph!"

Don't you think I don't know what you're thinking!

Old double standard, you son of a bitch!

President Xi raised his eyebrows.This is a normal reaction.He calmly said, "What is an ID card?"

Lian Xi thought for a long time before giving an explanation: "Something to prove your identity."

Jichen: "Oh, that's it, I understand."

Lian Xi felt strange: "???"

You know what you know.

But he didn't think much of it.

At this moment, Xiao Liu happily said, "I found it!"

With a click, the key was inserted into the lock and the door was successfully opened.As soon as the door opened, a long-term unventilated smell rushed over.Xiao Liu: "The furniture inside is complete, and it was cleaned just before the door was locked, but it needs to be cleaned again. I can clean it for you."

Lian Xi: "It's okay, we can do it ourselves."

Xiao Liu smiled apologetically: "Okay, then I will leave today."

Lian Xi transferred the agency fee to Xiao Liu. After receiving the agency fee, Xiao Liu's eyes lit up immediately, and he was more excited than seeing Zong Zong appear on the stage.She thanked her again and again: "Thank you, Mr. Lian. If you need anything, feel free to contact me on WeChat."

Lian Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, it should be."

In just half an hour, everything was settled, both parties were happy, and everyone sent Xiao Liu out.

Standing at the door, Xiao Liu was taking off his shoe covers, and Lian Xi Zhuangruo said casually, "By the way, does the tenant across the door also rent a house from your shop?"

Xiao Liu was stunned, and stopped taking off the shoe cover: "Hey, is there a rental at the opposite door?"

Lian Xi's eyes tightened, but his tone was calm: "Yes, don't you know."

Xiao Liu: "It seems that someone bought the house through our store a few years ago, but I haven't heard about the house since then. I didn't come to work when the house was sold, so I don't know. Did the Lord find a relationship and rent it to someone else? If you want to know, I will go back to the store in the afternoon and check it out for you."

Lian Xi smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much."

Xiao Liu waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter. If there is nothing else, I'll go first..." As he spoke, Xiao Liu stretched out his hand and opened the door.However, at this moment, a deep and pleasant male voice sounded from behind Lian Xi.

"Wait a moment."

Whoa!

The three of them turned their heads together and looked at the speaker.

In the bright and tidy living room, a handsome and tall man with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a thin notebook, handed it to Xiao Liu with an indifferent expression.Zong Zong's eyelids raised slightly, his voice was indifferent but extremely confident: "ID card."

Lian Xi and Su Jiao: "???"

Fuck? !

Xiao Liu opened his mouth, lowered his head slowly, and looked at the small black notebook handed to him.After seeing the words on the notebook clearly...

Xiao Liu: "..."

"Crack-"

All the girlish beauty and Huaichun fantasies collapsed at this moment.

Xiao Liu said with a dry smile, "This... sir, this joke is really not funny."

President Xi raised his eyebrows: "What ID card do you want?"

Xiao Liu: "..."

How come you are so handsome and have such a good temperament, but you are so stupid!

Seeing Mr. Xi still wanted to talk, Lian Xi hurriedly took his hand and quickly said to Xiao Liu, "He likes to joke."

Xiao Liu shook her head: "Hehe...well, it's all right." It's just that when she left, she no longer secretly glanced at a certain man reluctantly.

When the door closed with a click, Lian Xi let go of a certain man's hand.

President Xi frowned, raised his finger to Lian Xi: "ID card, prove your identity." Then pointed to himself, "Impermanence certificate, black impermanence."

Lian Xi: "..."

What a genius you are in reading comprehension!

Su Jiao suffocated laughing and turned backwards and forwards.

Lian Xi: "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it!"

Jichen glanced at him thoughtfully, and suddenly said, "Will you help others?"

Lian Xi was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly: "Yes!"

He smiled and turned to his bedroom.Two seconds after he walked in, he leaned out from the door again: "Helpful, cleaning?"

Lian Xi: "..."

You adapt so quickly!

***

The new bedroom has accumulated a layer of dust because it has not been lived in for a long time, but there is nothing to tidy up.After working for half an hour, I finally cleaned it up.Lian Xi carefully stared at the golden light surrounding a certain man, but none of the golden light was willing to show his face and run over!

Well, for nothing.

Lian Xi began to think about how to deceive Jin Guang.

Busy for most of the day, until one o'clock in the afternoon, everyone finally had time to order takeaway.

Half an hour later, the takeaway arrived home.

Lian Xi: "The moment to witness a miracle!"

Su Jiao: "Hahahaha, let's see what kind of bug this time is!"

Lian Xi: "Hehe."

Su Jiao: "Flies! Flies! Flies!"

Lian Xi: "..."

Accumulate some virtue!

Glaring at the short roommate fiercely, Lian Xi looked calm on the surface, but his slightly trembling fingers revealed his uneasy mood.He took a deep breath and slowly opened his shredded pork rice bowl.With a click, the lunch box was opened, and a strong aroma of vegetables and rice penetrated into the nostrils, which made the index finger move.

However, no one moved their chopsticks.

Su Jiao was gearing up, gloating.

Lian Xi looked at death as if at home, and pursed his lips tightly.He didn't eat right away.Taking out a bowl, Lian Xi calmly began to mix rice.He moved the rice from the fast food box to the bowl layer by layer, carefully checking whether there were any bugs or hairs in it.

A short 3 minutes, but as long as a year!

3 minute later.

Su Jiao: "Fuck? Where are the flies?"

Lian Xi looked at the two spots of golden light that were slowly dissipating between his fingers, and suddenly his nose felt sour.

This is the takeaway that people should eat!

Since helping the homeless to find his own body, Lianxi has eaten takeaway bugs for three days in a row for three days in a row!

At first, the dwarf's roommate helped him to be filled with righteous indignation, but later, it became Su Jiao's daily routine to guess what kind of bug Lian Xi would eat today.

The short roommate slumped on the chair: "Ye Qingjie!" Lian Xi stopped eating bugs, Ye Qingjie!

Lian Xi sneered: "Be yourself!"

In the restaurant, two young people complained to each other.

Without the worm show that must be seen every day, Su Jiao suddenly felt that the bowl of rice in front of him didn't seem so delicious anymore, so he started to eat listlessly.Lian Xi didn't eat immediately.

He took a bowl of lunch, got up and walked to the bedroom.

Su Jiao raised his head and glanced at him, pursed his mouth, and muttered softly, "You son of a bitch."

The dog leg walked to Mr. Heiwuchang's bedroom and knocked on the door.

The man standing by the window looking down at the impermanence certificate in his hand turned his head and stared at each other in silence for a moment. The man said lightly, "What's the matter?"

Lian Xi walked into the room: "I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered a random meal for you." After putting the boxed lunch on the table, Lian Xi suddenly remembered something: "Uh...do you eat?"

Jichen looked at him steadfastly, and after a while, he smiled: "Leave it alone."

Three golden lights jumped happily to Lian Xi.

Lian Xi: "!"

The mood suddenly improved, the young man smiled and said, "Eat while it's hot."

Ji Chen hummed lightly, but he didn't eat right away, but continued to turn his head and look out the window.

When leaving the room, Lian Xi stood in front of the door and stopped for some reason.

He looked at the back of the man.

The bright and bright sunlight shone through the glass and shone on this man, but there was something strangely out of place.The cold and dark color perfectly contrasted with the man's short, shattered hair. He just stood there silently, filled with endless silence and desolation.

After watching silently for a few seconds, Lian Xi stepped up and walked towards the restaurant.

These have nothing to do with him.

Lian Xi didn't know, after he left, Jichen turned his head and gave him a casual look.Then, his eyes turned to the lunch box on the table.

... helpful?

Huh.

***

Early the next morning, when Su Jiao went to class, Lian Xi and Xi always stood in front of the door.

President Xi stood aside with his hands in his pockets.

Lian Xi quietly observed the movement of the family across the door through the cat's eyes.

After watching for a few minutes, Lian Xi suddenly said, "It's out!"

The next moment, there was only a clear sound of closing the door. Through the small peephole, Lian Xi saw the young guy at the opposite door wearing a T-shirt and shorts, drinking a ditty, and going downstairs briskly.

After he got on the elevator, Lian Xi immediately opened the door: "Let's follow!"

Without further ado, the two followed closely behind and took another elevator.When the two of Lian Xi arrived on the first floor, the guy opposite had just left the gate of the community.

Still catch up!

The two quickly followed.

Yes, the three of Lian Xi discussed for a long time last night, and finally Lian Xi came up with a plan: "Follow him and see what the neighbors are doing every day!"

The shorty roommate was unable to participate in the project because of his class.But Lian Xi and Lord Guicha have plenty of time.

Lian Xi thought: "The person opposite seems to go out to buy breakfast for his roommate every day."

Thus, there is the scene where Lian Xi and Mr. Xi are following the young guy.

In fact, long before President Xi came, Lian Xi and Su Jiao had wondered why the guy opposite had to go out to buy breakfast for his roommate every day.

It’s okay to buy breakfast, and it’s even more okay to buy breakfast for roommates.But the problem is: every, one, day!

In the days when food delivery apps are so developed, few people go out to buy food every day.And it's still hot in August!

But Lian Xi and Su Jiao didn't discuss anything in the end, they could only reluctantly come to a conclusion: "People like to go out in the morning and breathe fresh air."

Now it seems that it may not be that simple.

After exiting the gate of the community, turn left, walk across a street, and you will find a neighborhood center.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the office workers in a hurry walked to the bus station with bags one by one.The refreshing morning breeze in late summer and the delicate and tender roses on both sides of the road could not attract their attention at all. They were like clockwork gears, hurriedly walking on the road, heading towards the same daily route and destiny.

In such a flow of people, the guy from the opposite door seems to be doing a retrograde of the minority.

He walked against the rush of the crowd, humming happily, and walked towards an old commercial street next to the neighborhood center.

Before entering the old street, Lian Xi and Ji Chen smelled the aroma of buns and fried sticks.

Lian Xi was slightly taken aback.

It's also his first time here.

Today's young people live on takeaway food. It has been more than a month since they moved into their new home, and Lian Xi has never gone downstairs to shop.He had only been to the neighborhood center once, and he hadn't noticed the old street next to it at all.

The neighborhood center was only built last year, but this old street seems to have some history.Maybe it was built with the community.

Walking into the old street, Lian Xi found that most of it seemed to be restaurants for eating.

There are old retail stores with yellowed and old signboards.

It's not a big chain store, but a small store opened by the family. They just cook some simple food and greet the neighbors around them.In the morning, I make steamed buns and fritters, but at noon I switch to making meals.In the evening, move the tables and chairs outside the door, and get a super-powerful fan, and it will be an open-air supper.

The guy from the opposite door walked to a steamed stuffed bun shop familiarly, and said with a smile: "Twenty fried dough sticks, eight cups of soy milk, and three meat buns!"

"okay!"

There are quite a lot of people who also come to buy breakfast.

This kind of small street shop never pays attention to queuing, and even the customers who buy buns are acquaintances.They chatted happily while waiting for the boss to steam the buns for them.

Lian Xi gradually stopped.

Jichen looked at him strangely: "Huh?"

Lian Xi remained silent, continuing to watch this unusual scene.

Jichen raised his eyebrows: "Is there something wrong?"

Lian Xi shook his head: "Have you ever seen the lives of ordinary people?"

"I am Heiwuchang, and I just came out of the underworld to take office."

"Oh yes, I'm sorry." Lian Xi extended his finger to those smiling and chatting waiting for the steamed stuffed bun. "Many years ago, I was among them. With my dad and my grandfather."

Jichen: "Then where are they now?"

Lian Xi smiled: "Let's go."

Jichen: "I don't want you anymore?"

Lian Xi: "???"

How can you talk about this black impermanence!

Lian Xi: "It's dead."

Jichen: "Oh." He took out the certificate of impermanence, and turned to the last page to show Lian Xi: "In life, since ancient times, no one has died, and he died early and passed away early."

Lian Xi: "..."

Believe it or not, I will kill you!

The young man's furious emotions were beyond words, as if he could rush up and punch himself in the next second.But this fresh and vivid appearance is completely different from the previous false and perfunctory, and it finally becomes a little real and meaningful.Zong Zong smiled slightly, his lips curled up in an imperceptible tiny arc.

Soon, Lian Xi whispered: "He bought it."

In front of the steamed stuffed bun shop, the young guy happily turned around and walked towards the gate of the community with a bag of deep-fried dough sticks and a bag of soy milk.

Lian Xi and the two watched his back as he walked away, and when he walked a little farther and they could follow up, they stopped at the same time just after taking a step.

Lian Xi's eyes turned to the door of the steamed stuffed bun shop, and looked at a middle-aged man who had just taken fried dough sticks and soy milk at the same time as the young guy, but turned around and walked in the opposite direction from him.

Just now, after the guy at the opposite door got his breakfast, he turned and headed west.

The middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes turned around and walked eastward.

It was as if something overlapped at the moment they took breakfast, and it seemed that something suddenly separated when they turned around.

The middle-aged man had already walked away with the breakfast.

Lian Xi hesitated for a moment, and was about to say "how about we follow", but the man beside him had already taken a step.

After walking a few steps, Zong turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Let's go?"

Lian Xi was taken aback, and quickly followed.

The middle-aged man was carrying soybean milk in his left hand and a large bag of fried dough sticks in his right, walking quickly through the crowd.In fact, there are many middle-aged people like him who go out to buy breakfast, but he is the strangest one.Not because of anything else, just because he was wearing a high-end tailored suit.

Fine and flat cuffs, trimmed hem.Under the sunlight, the high-end clothing is glowing with a dark light like a reflection.This outfit and those high-end crocodile leather shoes reveal only one word: Expensive!

However, he was holding soy milk fritters in both hands!

Such a middle-aged successful person should sit in the cafeteria of a high-end hotel, sipping coffee and drinking morning tea leisurely.Or sit in the brightly lit top-floor office and have a tray of breakfast served by the secretary.

This effect is simply outstanding.

Lian Xi and the two followed behind the middle-aged man, watching helplessly as he carried a plastic bag of fried dough sticks and soy milk... and got into a Mercedes-Benz!

Lian Xi: "..."

Ji Chen turned to look at him: what kind of expression is this?

Lian Xi was tired.

You, a country bumpkin who just climbed up from the underworld, know what a big run is!What is AMG top match?

Although Lian Xi didn't understand why a successful man who drove a million-dollar luxury car ran to a small roadside shop just to buy a breakfast.But this did not prevent him from realizing that there must be something wrong with this middle-aged man!

Haul a taxi quickly.

Lian Xi: "Catch up with the Mercedes-Benz in front."

The taxi driver looked at the two of them up and down: "Why, you are stars? You are filming, where is the camera? This doesn't look like it."

Lian Xi: "Uh, the person in the car in front is our father, we suspect that he went to the hotel to find mistress."

The taxi driver smiled knowingly: "Okay, let's go, I promise to catch up with you."

Mr. Xi indicated with his eyes: what is Xiaosan.

Lian Xi nodded, are you hungry?Eye response: Wait until someone catches up with you and buys you food.

Mr. Xi also understood: So you mortals call ghosts Xiaosan.

Lian Xi: Just eat buns!

The two exchanged eye contact with each other, and then smiled at each other—there was a tacit understanding.

Of course, the performance of Daben is several blocks ahead of this car, but it is hard for a smart woman to live without rice. In this morning rush hour traffic jam, the million-dollar Daben is useless, and taxis are easily attached to it. After that, follow not far or near.

After chasing for half an hour, the car stopped in front of a high-end office building.

Taxi driver: "Hey, this is not a hotel either."

Lian Xi: "..."

The next moment, the young man showed shame and indignation, filled with righteous indignation: "How dare he openly seek a mistress in the company!"

The taxi driver showed sympathetic eyes, and stretched out his hand for every penny: "52, WeChat Alipay?"

Lian Xi: "...Alipay."

After paying the money, the car ran away, and the driver's disdainful laughter came from the wind: "Xiaomian, do you still want to make up a story to make me sympathize with you, and charge less for the car?"

Lian Xi: "..."

You have so many plays!

After catching up with the middle-aged man, Lian Xi and President Xi couldn't enter his company.

This kind of high-end office building needs to swipe the key card to enter, and the two of them can only sit in the lobby on the first floor to see if they can find a chance to get in.However, this time they didn't make them wait too long. The middle-aged man went downstairs after 10 minutes.Beside him was a man wearing glasses who looked like a gentleman and a secretary. While talking, they got into the big Mercedes again.

Lian Xi hurriedly stopped another taxi, and he said blankly: "Follow the Mercedes-Benz in front, we are together, there is no room in the car."

This time the taxi driver was not a showman, he gave Lian Xi a look of "I'm just a taxi driver and you talk so much nonsense to me?", the driver stepped on the gas pedal and chased after him.

Throughout the day, Lian Xi and Xi always chased after the middle-aged man's buttocks, almost covering most of Sioux City.

This middle-aged man didn't know what kind of job he was in, so he went to three office buildings in one day, going up and down non-stop.Every time you go in and out, someone goes downstairs to pick you up.

When the middle-aged man came out of the third office building, Lian Xi quickly bent down to hide.Catching a glimpse of Mr. Xi standing upright and looking at the middle-aged man coldly, Lian Xi frowned and quickly pushed him down.

Mr. Xi: "...Huh?"

Lian Xi: "Be careful not to be discovered."

Not far away, the male secretary looked around, then turned around and said, "Mr. Gao, the car hasn't arrived yet. I'll check on the situation. Wait a moment."

The middle-aged man named Mr. Gao raised his watch and looked at the time: "It's okay, it's five o'clock, you get off work, Xiao Wang."

"Mr. Gao?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "I'll go to the coffee shop next to it, you can just get off work. Let the car go directly to the company, and I will go home by myself."

"Okay Mr. Gao."

The middle-aged man strode towards a Starbucks on the side of the road.

After 1 minute, Lian Xi and Ji Chen also walked in.

The middle-aged man ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window.Lian Xi also ordered a cup of coffee for himself and President Xi. He pretended to be casually passing by the middle-aged man's table, and sat down at the table next to him.

The coffee was filled with clear and gentle music, and Lian Xi quietly looked at the middle-aged man beside him, but President Xi was not very interested in the middle-aged man. He looked down at the black liquid in front of him, pondered for a long time, and took a sip...

President Xi: "..."

Mengpo soup is sweeter than this!

As time passed by, Lian Xi's fingers lightly stroked the wall of the coffee cup.

Just when Mr. Xi's patience was exhausted and he was about to take out the golden album with a flip of his palm, the middle-aged man laughed softly, and a steady and gentle voice sounded: "You have been with me for a day, tell me, what is the project. Now that I have time, I can listen to what you have to say."

President Xi slowly raised his head, his dark eyes swept towards the middle-aged man beside him.

Lian Xi was also stunned for a moment, and then he understood, his brain was working quickly: "You have discovered us a long time ago?"

The middle-aged man smiled: "I have seen many young people like you, and I have invested a lot. Judging by your appearance, you are quite young. You have just graduated from university, right? Young people are aggressive and enterprising. It is normal for them to want to start a business. .But, I've always believed that everyone should not waste their talent."

Lian Xi: "Talent?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the faces of Lian Xi and Mr. Xi, and said with a smile: "You are more suitable to enter the entertainment circle."

Lian Xi: "..."

Mr. Xi: "The entertainment industry?"

Middle-aged man: "Yes, this may be the fastest way for you to make money. Don't look at me like this, young man, there is nothing wrong with making money. Who doesn't love money in this world."

Looking at the middle-aged man's seemingly mature and weather-beaten confident smile, after a while, Lian Xi said, "Do you love money? I always think that a person who can go to a street shop to buy breakfast should not be so Philistine."

The hand holding the coffee stopped abruptly, and the middle-aged man turned his head to look at Lian Xi.After a few seconds, he smiled helplessly: "So you have been following me since then."

……

Pulling the chair over, the three of them sat at a table.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "My surname is Gao, you should have known it a long time ago, just call me Mr. Gao. Tell me, what is the purpose of following me since the morning? Is there any project? Tell me and listen, if it is good I can consider investing. I have followed many entrepreneurial projects invested by angels, and there are also seed investors.”

Lian Xi: "We have no projects."

Mr. Gao was a little surprised: "Huh?"

Lian Xi: "It's like this. My friends and I live in the neighborhood near that steamed stuffed bun shop. We saw you go to buy breakfast. After all, you are wearing this outfit and then appearing in such a place, it's a bit... strange .So we were curious to know what was going on."

Mr. Gao: "You followed me all day just because you were curious?"

Lian Xi: "Shouldn't young people be full of curiosity?"

Mr. Gao smiled: "You young man is interesting. If you have a project, I will definitely vote for you. To be honest, I am not good at talking to everyone. You two make me feel a little friendly. I seem to have seen it somewhere Pass you." After a pause, he said, "I'll buy another cup of coffee later." He raised his hand and said loudly, "Waiter."

The waiter quickly ran over: "Is there anything wrong, sir."

Mr. Gao: "Have another cup of black coffee."

"Sir, you need to go to the bar to pay for this."

The middle-aged man has no airs at all, and even Xi thought he would just tip the waiter directly and ask him to buy it for him, but unexpectedly he stood up and nodded to the waiter with a smile: "Okay, sorry, I seldom come here .” Then, he turned his head and said to Lian Xi and the two: “I’m going to buy a cup of coffee, wait a minute.”

After the middle-aged man left, Lian Xi saw Mr. Xi taking a sip of coffee in front of him.After thinking about it, he took a few bags of white sugar from the table.Tear open the paper bag, pour fine sugar into the coffee, and stir well.

Lian Xi: "Try again?"

Ji Chen glanced at him.

Lian Xi: "Try."

Ji Chen stretched out his hand to pick up the coffee cup, took a sip...

Um?not bad?

Lian Xi laughed.

The phone in his pocket buzzed twice, Lian Xi took out the phone and opened WeChat.

[Real estate agent Xiao Liu: Mr. Lian, I'm sorry I didn't find the information about the door to your house yesterday, but I did today.The door opposite your house was bought by someone eight years ago. The buyer's surname is Gao.I don't know if it will be rented out again, but there is indeed something wrong with your house, but don't worry, it's not a haunted house.I have sent you the specific information, please check it. 】

【Real Estate Agent Xiao Liu: [Information]】

After Lian Xi received the information, he opened the file and glanced at it for a few moments, then suddenly, his eyes froze.

Five minutes later, the middle-aged man surnamed Gao came back with a cup of coffee.He saw that Mr. Xi, who hadn’t drank coffee just now, was drinking coffee at the moment, and then looked at the coffee in his cup that was obviously discolored by adding sugar. He smiled and said, “Young people should drink more bitter coffee. If you don’t suffer, you will not be able to endure hardship when you get old.”

The handsome and cold man was completely unaware that the other party was talking to him, so he just turned a blind eye and continued to drink sweet coffee.

Mr. Gao shook his head.

"Mr. Gao, did you live in Huating Community before?"

Mr. Gao's hand holding the coffee stopped suddenly, and he looked up at Lian Xi.

Lian Xi: "I'm just making a random guess. We live in Huating Community, and many people in our community will go there to buy breakfast. It is reasonable for a successful person like you to go there to buy breakfast, so I just Think, maybe you lived in the neighborhood near us before?"

Slowly put down the coffee cup, the bottom of the cup touched the table, making a crisp sound.

An indescribably warm smile appeared on the tired and vicissitudes of the middle-aged man's face, as if he was recalling a distant past.That must be a very good memory, so his expression is softer and his tone is more kind.

"Yes, I used to live in Huating Community. That was 19 years ago... Hehe, you should have been young at that time. Children, can you see that it is 20 years old when you look at the facade of Huating Community? The old community built years ago? This community has been rebuilt and has been well preserved, quite new, and as lively as before."

Lian Xi: "Really, which building do you live in?"

Middle-aged man: "Building 13, 903."

……

Lianjia Real Estate Agency Huating Community Store.

The young girl with short hair was sorting out the materials. The old man in the store got up and poured a glass of water, and suddenly remembered: "By the way, Xiao Liu, why did you ask me for the materials of 13, Building 903, Huating Community? What happened? ?”

Xiao Liu: "It's the tenant at the door 904 opposite their house who was a little curious and asked me what I wanted."

The old man nodded and drank water: "903... oh, it was really miserable. Those young men were such good people during the gas explosion that year, they saved many people, but they just left like this .You have to make it clear to the tenants of 904 that 903 is not a haunted house, and they won an award for being a good citizen for their righteousness!"

Xiao Liu: "I know, don't worry, the tenants of 904 are very good. They can't say that the opposite door is a haunted house because of something more than ten years ago, and then lower the price for us."

……

In the coffee shop, melodious music sounded.

The middle-aged man touched the warm cup, his eyes gradually softened, and there was no bitterness in his voice, only gentleness and nostalgia: "I just came to Sucheng back then, and I was a wage earner. A group of us lived in Huating Community. The group rented a house No money. I still remember the old man at 104 on the first floor. He seems to have left the year before last. He likes to enjoy the cool downstairs in the afternoon and fan his palm leaf fan. There is also the little girl at 1103 on the eleventh floor. After finishing homework in the evening, I practiced the violin, and I played very badly.

"But the house we rented was too cheap. There was no TV, no computer or mobile phone. Every night, we had nothing to do, so we moved the stool together and went to the balcony to listen to the little girl playing music.

"There is also the newlywed couple on the fourth floor. At that time, 904 on the opposite door was rented by a pair of sisters, and no murders occurred."

Lian Xi: "There is still an eighth floor."

The middle-aged man was taken aback, and turned to look at Lian Xi.His eyes stayed on Lian Xi for a long time, and after a while, he nodded: "Yes, there is still the eighth floor. The couple on the eighth floor quarrel every day, every day. Sometimes we sit on the balcony and listen to their quarrel when we have nothing to do. Relieve boredom. Husband and wife quarrel, quarrel at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, just listen to it as a story
