Pound's sleepwalking

Chapter 1 The Landlord

After class, Pound was suddenly called to talk in the department head's office, and he stood obediently, ready to listen to the training.

"Mr. Pang, you have done a very good job." The director first praised him a few words, and then cut to the point. "But the relationship between employees, I think you also need to pay attention to it."

Hearing this, Pound probably knew the purpose of this conversation. He couldn't help but grasp the corner of his clothes, lowered his head and continued to listen to the department head.

"About your...sleepwalking, you know about it yourself?" The director carefully selected his words.

The director is also very distressed. Pound's work ability is outstanding and he has won a series of awards for the school. If other employees hadn't reacted strongly several times, he would not want to interfere with the private life of outstanding employees.

The head of the department struggled for a long time, and finally proposed.

"Why don't you move out, and I'll apply to the department for reimbursement of your rent."

Pound saw the look of expectation in the director's eyes.

He smiled awkwardly, his voice was a little hoarse just after the lecture, "It's okay Director, I've wanted to move out for a long time."

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva to relieve the itchy throat, and continued, "I know I have caused a lot of inconvenience to everyone, and I am very sorry. The department does not need to reimburse you for the rent, after all, it is my personal reason."

Hearing this, the director was very happy. He stood up from the chair and patted his shoulder lightly.

"You are a good teacher and a good employee." The director praised.

After the conversation, Pound left immediately.

He found a secluded corridor and leaned against the wall to relax.

You are causing trouble to others!Amidst the guilt, he couldn't help feeling a little aggrieved.

He once thought about moving out so as not to cause trouble for everyone, but he didn't expect everyone to be more impatient, and couldn't even tolerate him for a day or two.

As an adult, Pound quickly adjusted his mood. He took out his mobile phone and began to search for information about housing.

There are a lot of rental information on the Internet, but the rent of a single apartment makes people feel distressed. If you want to find someone to share a flat, you are afraid that you will be rejected by others. After struggling for a long time, Pound didn't make a phone call.

He posted the rent-seeking information on the Internet as if giving up on himself, hesitated for a while, and finally added three words in the note.

Sleepwalking.

Guess... no one would want to rent the house to him, right?Let's go to the hotel to make do tonight.

Pound had just stuffed the phone's screen into his pocket when he suddenly remembered the ringtone.

Unfamiliar number?

He hesitated for a moment or took it.

"Hello?" Pound asked tentatively.

The other end of the phone was very quiet, just when he thought he had made a mistake, a somewhat dull male voice came from the other side.

"Are you looking for a place to live?"

Hearing this, Pound was very happy.he asked quickly

"Yes, yes! Are you the landlord? How much is the rent?"

"five hundred."

"Ah? Is it a shared rent?" Pound was a little stunned, the rent in City C is very high.

"Yes, share the rent with me." The other end of the phone said.

The price is also very cheap if you rent together. Is it because the location is remote?

Pound continued to ask him, "Then where is the house?"

"Intercity Garden."

That's the best high-end neighborhood in City C, Pang De swallowed his saliva in disbelief. "Then can I go and have a look now?"

The other party didn't hesitate at all, "Yes, I'll send you the address."

"Hey, good good."

Pound hung up the phone in a daze, and then remembered, could it be that the landlord was willing to rent the house to him without seeing his note?

But he didn't want to miss such a good house, so let's talk to the landlord first, maybe there will be a turnaround.

There was no class in the afternoon, Pang De asked for personal leave, and hurriedly took a taxi to Intercity Garden.

He was a little apprehensive when he got out of the car, looking at the towering buildings in front of him, could he really rent a house here with 500 yuan?

As soon as Pound stepped forward to explain a few words to the doorman, the other party politely let him go. It turned out that the landlord had already greeted him. Pound felt warm, and it seemed that the landlord was very nice.

Soon, he found the landlord's home according to the address on the text message.

'ding dong'

He was a little nervous waiting outside the door, as if he was going for an interview.

There was a crackling sound in the room, and the doorknob was gently unscrewed.

Pound quickly said hello.

The landlord was wearing a dark blue nightgown, with a gentle smile on his face, but a pair of particularly bright eyes staring closely at Pound.

"I'm sorry I didn't disturb your rest." Seeing the landlord in casual clothes, Pound asked apologetically.

"No."

The landlord's voice is different from the slightly dull tone of the phone, it sounds clear and gentle.

The landlord gestured him to come in sideways, and took out a pair of brand new slippers from the shoe cabinet, the style was exactly the same as the ones on his own feet.

Pound changed his shoes and entered the house, but he felt a little cramped. This place was completely different from his living environment.

Clean and reflective marble floors, brand new furniture, every step he took seemed to have stained something.

"You're newly renovated, right?" Pound asked with a smile, wanting to shorten the distance between the two.

The landlord was pouring water for him. Hearing this, he looked back at the nervous Pound, and explained with a smile, "No, it's just that I like to be clean."

"Oh, that's it." Pound wandered around awkwardly for a while, and finally sat upright on the sofa.

The landlord who came over with a water glass saw him sitting upright and laughed. "Don't be so nervous, it's not a blind date."

Pound took the warm water glass, held it in the palm of his hand, and replied with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous."

The landlord looked at him with unfathomable eyes, he lowered his head and sipped his saliva and asked, "Is the house still satisfactory?"

"Satisfied and satisfied!" Pound nodded quickly, how can he not be dissatisfied, this kind of living environment is hundreds of times better than his crowded staff dormitory.

The landlord pointed far away, "Your house is there." He raised his chin and signaled Pound, "You can go and have a look."

After hearing this, Pound got up quickly.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go and have a look."

The house is a three-bedroom house with a terrace. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room illuminate the whole house very brightly. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a small private garden. At the end of the living room are two bedrooms. Pound walked over and opened the door just now. The one the landlord pointed to.

The house is very tidy, without any peculiar smell, and the lighting is good.The minimalist decoration style and the main tone of gray and blue appear calm and majestic. Pound couldn't be more satisfied.

"It was originally a study room, but it was recently converted into a bedroom."

At some point, the landlord had already stood behind him, and when he was talking, his breath brushed against his neck from time to time, which was warm.

Being approached suddenly, Pound felt a little uncomfortable and silently opened the distance between the two.

Looking at the big bed with complete bedding, he was a little surprised, turned around and said with a smile, "Are you waiting for the tenant to check in?"

Hearing this, the landlord slightly narrowed his eyes, his eyelashes were long and thick, casting a shadow on his eyelids.

"Yes."

At this moment, Pound suddenly remembered what he was worried about, and he tentatively said

"I'm very satisfied with this house, but I don't know if you have read my note. My living habits are very good, but it's when I sleep at night..."

"I know, you are sleepwalking." The landlord arrived first.

"I do not mind."
