Although he was not in the mood, but he couldn't eat at night, and he didn't want to be alone in the dormitory, so Zhang Yucheng simply took the car keys, put on his coat, opened the door and went downstairs.

After Ni Lu and Ren Jie finished their meal, they took the things they bought all afternoon, called a taxi, and loaded two cardboard boxes and two bags into the car. It was not the school, but Ren Jie rented it outside the school. House purchase studio.

The studio is located on the third floor of a residential building. Ren Jie and Ni Lu went upstairs one after the other. When they arrived at the place, Ren Jie took out the key to open the door, and said at the same time: "My two friends and studio partners are now No, they both come here when they have something to do."

After speaking, he pulled out the key and pushed the door open, took a step into the room, and "snapped" to turn on the light.

Ren Jie stepped aside to let Ni Lu carry the box in, and she carried the lightest bag behind her, and waited for Ni Lu to enter the room before entering and closing the door behind her back.

As soon as you enter the house, you will find a living room of nearly 30 square meters. The living room is full of sewing machines, embroidery machines, workbenches and other equipment.

Ren Jie asked Ni Lu to put the suitcase on the floor at his feet, put the bag she brought in, turned on the heater, put the bag and took off her coat.

"The sewing machine you need is here, anyway, you won't need it anytime soon, so you can use it as you like." Ren Jie hung the coat she took off on a nail on the wall, "I see you bought Oxford cloth and interlining today, yes Want to make a bag?"

"Yeah." Ni Lu put down the bag hanging from his shoulder, put it in a corner, and walked towards one of the sewing machines, "Computer bag."

Ren Jie asked casually, "Do it for yourself or give it away?"

Ni Lu said, "Send it off."

After Ren Jie hung up her clothes, she turned to look at him, "Who are you sending to?"

Ni Lu pulled out his chair and sat in front of the sewing machine. He inspected this electronically controlled sewing machine that can sew thick materials. He turned it on first, and then adjusted it one by one to get used to it. roommate."

Ren Jie came over and was about to tell him how to operate this sewing machine, when she heard this, she couldn't help but look at him more, "Give it to Chairman Zhang?"

"Yeah." Ni Lu began to draw thread. I didn't know what to use this machine for sewing before. It used relatively thin cotton thread, which was not suitable for sewing bags. Ni Lu wanted to change it to a special polyester for sewing bags that he just bought. line, "His birthday is the 21st."

"Hey!" Ren Jie clapped her palms, "I almost forgot about this!"

"That's fine!" After Ren Jie patted her palm, she couldn't help but slap Ni Lu's shoulder again, "It's my roommate's birthday, you can sew a computer bag for him yourself. enough."

Ni Lu rolled up the removed cotton thread and put it on the special rack for threading, "He helped me a lot."

After all, Ren Jie was in the same school as them, and anyone who didn't turn a deaf ear to what happened outside the window would know a thing or two about what happened in the school.

Ren Jie nodded, "That's true."

Because of the video incident, Ni Lu was squeezed out and could only live in the old dormitory building that was about to be scrapped. It was Zhang Yucheng who suggested that Ni Lu live with him, which saved Ni Lu from being stuck in the old dormitory and had to be renovated. He had nowhere to go for a while dilemma.

Not to mention anything else, just this kindness, it seems that it is not a particularly strange thing for Ni Lu to make a package for him on his birthday.

After figuring this out, and seeing that Ni Lu was already familiar with the dismantling, reinstalling and test machine after a while of exploration, she didn't need any explanation at all, so Ren Jie stepped aside and started arranging the pile of materials she just bought today.

"You can use the equipment in this room as you like, and you can just tell me what you don't know. I'll write down the things I bought today, and I'll start work tomorrow when I'm done."

Ni Lu asked, "Do you need my help?"

Ren Jie rolled up her sleeves and waved her hands, took out a small bookkeeping book, "No, you are busy with your work."

After Ni Lu responded, the two started to do their own thing.

Ni Lu stood up from the sewing machine, picked up the bag, and found a bag and a sketchbook that was much smaller than his usual sketchbook. The bag contained the cow-sewn cloth he bought today, and the color was the same as his. The scarf tied around my neck was almost the same color for a while; when I opened the book, it was a hand-painted exploded view of a laptop bag. Put the books and pencil case used in class on weekdays, etc.

In fact, it is not too different from the common computer bags on the market. The biggest difference is probably that it was drawn by Ni Lu himself and planned to make it by himself.

After reading it, Ni Lu didn't delay for a moment, put the bag and the palm-sized sketchbook on the workbench, took out the Oxford cloth interlining, got a ruler and a line drawing pen and started to measure.

Although the purpose of Zhang Yucheng's coming out was to have dinner, he finally parked his car in the underground parking garage of a large shopping mall.

Dinner was settled with a cup of finger cakes and a hot drink, and then I went up to the floor selling men's clothing and started shopping.

It's not aimless. When he sees a store with a suitable style, he walks in and walks around the store. A few pairs of trousers and a few clothes are already hanging on his arm, so that the female shop assistant who greets him with bright eyes when he enters the door Can't get in a few words at all.

Finding that the clothes and pants Zhang Yucheng chose were one or two sizes smaller than his own figure, the shop assistant smiled and said, "Did you buy them for my brother?"

Zhang Yucheng glanced at her, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "No. It's her boyfriend."

The smile faltered on the saleswoman's face.

After Zhang Yucheng finished speaking, he glanced around the store, and when he saw the area selling down jackets, he immediately walked over with long legs.

When he came out of the men's clothing store, both hands were full of paper bags.Zhang Yucheng didn't leave immediately after buying clothes, but walked around again, saw a store selling men's underwear and went in again, and came out with several more bags.

Going down to the garage to put the bag hanging in his hand into the trunk of the car, Zhang Yucheng did not get in the car immediately, but locked the trunk of the car and took the elevator upstairs.

Ni Lu was sitting in front of the sewing machine, and when he lightly stepped on the pedal to sew, his mobile phone in his bag rang, which was particularly abrupt in this room where there was only the sound of the sewing machine. Even the person who was standing in front of the shelf sorting things Ren Jie even turned her head to take a look, but Ni Lu didn't move, her eyes were fixed on the nose of the machine, and her hand pressed the cloth to sew up the edge steadily, before stopping her foot and lifting the needle.

The two pieces of cloth that had been sewn were pulled out, and the thread was cut with scissors. Only then did Ni Lu walk to the corner where the bag was placed, and took out the phone with the bag.

The message was sent by Zhang Yucheng, asking where he was.

Ni Lu sent a question mark: What's wrong?

Zhang Yucheng replied almost instantly: I will pick you up.

Ni Lu glanced at the time and realized that it was almost eleven o'clock, so he replied: No, it's cold and it's too late, I just go back by myself.

Zhang Yucheng said: I'm outside now, you tell me the address, and I'll drive there.

Ni Lu was helpless. Thinking about it, he felt that this was an old residential building with many small roads, so it was inconvenient to find, so he sent him the location directly.

Zhang Yucheng on the phone was not outside at all, he had already returned to the dormitory, paper bags were piled up on the floor under his feet, his coat was still on, and when he came back, he saw that the dormitory was still dark. The mobile phone sent a message to Ni Lu.

After sending, he leaned against the door frame and held his phone on and off for nearly a minute. Just as he was about to call, Ni Lu replied.

Seeing the location sent by the other party, Zhang Yucheng quickly replied a message, turned around and opened the door and walked out.

Zhang Yucheng: I will send you a message when I arrive.

After Ni Lu read the news, he didn't put the phone back into the bag, but put it on the sewing machine table. He sat down and picked up the two pieces of cloth that he had just sewed.

When the sewing machine beeped again, Ren Jie, who had put away her things, pulled down both sleeves and walked over, looked beside him for a while, and said, "I just wanted to say, Ni Lu, you are very smooth with the sewing machine, right?" , have you learned sewing before?"

Ni Lu stepped on the line and said, "Well, I have learned it."

In fact, it is not considered to have learned, Ni Lu's mother used to be a female worker in a garment factory in their town, and she would take home the endless work in the factory, and Ni Lu had learned it from childhood.Learning to use a sewing machine is actually not difficult, but what is difficult is to sew good things with a sewing machine. Ni Lu happens to be talented in this area, and he can use his mother's sewing machine at home by stepping on it.Sometimes his mother is too busy doing farm work and housework, and he can help his mother finish the semi-finished products brought home.

Although the sewing machine is now updated with computerized electronic control, and everything is available for sewing, bag embroidery, but the soup is not changed, the lining is almost the same, and after a little thought, it can basically be used.

Ren Jie sighed and raised her hand to pat him hard on the shoulder, "Baby, I've found a treasure."

Ni Lu smiled and continued to step on the line, planning to hurry up and do more before Zhang Yucheng came over.

After all, time is tight, and there is only one week left before the 21st.

Ren Jie's studio is not too far from the school. Half an hour later, Zhang Yucheng sent a message: My car is parked downstairs, which floor are you on?

When Ni Lu saw it, he quickly replied: I will go down right away.

If Zhang Yucheng was told which floor he was on, he would definitely come up.Although the third floor is not high, Ni Lu is unwilling to watch him run up and down.

Putting down his phone, Ni Lu began to pack his things.

"Sister, I have to go, are you staying here tonight?"

Ren Jie was sitting at a table at the moment, filling out something on her mobile phone, she turned to look at him when she heard the words, "Yes, I don't have class until ten o'clock tomorrow, so it's okay to go late. Are you going back? Is it okay to take a taxi here?" Convenient, the bus station is not far but hard to find, I will take you there."

Putting down the phone, he was about to stand up.

Ni Lu quickly refused, "No need, someone is coming to pick me up, he's downstairs."

"Ok?"

Ren Jie didn't seem to expect it, her eyes widened a little.

Ni Lu packed all his things into a bag and tied it tightly, then said: "Senior sister, I'll put these things here with you first, and I'll take them away after I'm done."

"Just put it away." Ren Jie waved her hands indifferently, she sat on the chair and turned to face Ni Lu, and put down the pen in her hand, "You said someone is coming to pick you up, who is it?"

Ni Lu piled up his own things in a corner that did not take up space, then took off his coat and put it on, and when he looked up after putting it on, Ni Lu met Ren Jie's smiling eyes.

He paused, seeing that Ren Jie didn't look away at all, and then said: "It's Chairman Zhang. He has a car and happens to be doing business nearby. He knows I'm here, so come pick me up on the way."

"Chairman Zhang?" Ren Jie stood up, "Is he just downstairs?"

"Yes." Ni Lu put on his coat, put his bag on his shoulder, picked up his phone to check the time, "Sister Ren, it's getting late, I'm leaving if there's nothing else to do."

"Hey, wait. I'll go down with you." Ren Jie followed Ni Lu to the door, took off her coat and put on her shoes, "Who is Chairman Zhang, I really didn't expect him to come to pick you up in person, say I have to go down and take a look at everything."

After putting on the shoes, I found that Ni Lu was still standing still, Ren Jie took his arm and walked out the door, "Let's go, didn't you say you want to go back to school?"

Ni Lu said helplessly: "Senior sister, you can't do it. It's winter night, so I made a special trip here."

Ren Jie smiled, and slapped him on the back, "I really think I'm here to see the handsome guy in our school, I'm just passing by, and seeing you off is the main purpose."

Ni Lu wants to say that I don't need you to send me, it's so cold and it's midnight, it's not safe for you to go downstairs as a girl.But before he could speak, Ren Jie pushed the door anxiously and went out. She put on her coat outside the door, and stomped her neck while urging him, "Hurry up, don't make our chairman wait too long."

Ni Lu could only go out, and closed the door behind him.

When Zhang Yucheng arrived, he sent a message to Ni Lu. After receiving a reply, he sat in the car for a while, put his phone in his pocket, opened the car door and got out of the car. He leaned against the car door and faced an old residential building with only six floors.The location can only roughly know the location, but it is impossible to know which unit and which floor it is.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Zhang Yucheng saw the door of a certain unit in front of him being pushed open from the inside, and two people came out from the inside. He could recognize the tall and thin figure at a glance, it was Ni Lu.
