"Slag" is right

The house that Lu Yi bought was an existing house, and after the formalities were completed, he could directly decorate and move in.He picked a Sunday and called Lao Qin when he went to pick up the room.

As the end of the new year approaches, the cloudy and snowy days of the previous period have completely changed. Today, the sky is clear and blue, as if dyed, with no clouds at all. The sun hangs fiercely in the sky, dazzling the eyes.But the winter sun in the north is just the lamp in the refrigerator. It only looks bright, but it is cold when it shines on the body, piercing people's faces with the cold wind like a knife.

There are two white jade pillars at the outer gate of the community, with dragons and phoenixes carved on them, and two security booths on the left and right, one for people and the other for vehicles.Lu Yisao entered the community face-to-face, but Lao Qin was stopped.Lu Yi said it was his friend, and the security guard said that the owner's friend had to register before he could enter. For the sake of safety, he looked serious.

After entering the community, Lu Yi complained, and Lao Qin comforted him that all the high-end communities are like this now, if there are some special regulations, how dare you ask you to charge such a high property fee.

The distance between the buildings is quite spacious, and there is a large garden in the atrium.Walking all the way, there are open-air swimming pools, basketball courts, table tennis tables... everything, and there are trees and flowers on both sides of the road.It's just a new community, the plants have not been planted for a long time, and they haven't grown luxuriantly yet. In winter, the leaves fall off again, and everywhere looks bare, and it is back from the main road. The community is very quiet.There are not many people staying here, and the place is so big, the more you go in, the more desolate you feel.

It is said that it is a hardcover room, but in fact it is just pasting the walls and pasting the floor.The cabinets, toilets, and sinks are all of ordinary brands, which do not match the three-bedroom "mansion" with a total price of eight figures.

Even so, as soon as you walk into this house, the open living room, bright balcony, spacious kitchen and two-bathroom configuration all show its luxury in this city where every inch of land is expensive.

"How big is this room?"

"140 a few."

"Tsk tsk, that's quite luxurious."

Lao Qin walked around several rooms: "You can make four bedrooms, one master bedroom and two second bedrooms." He pointed to the smallest room, "This can also be used as a children's room."

"This is a storage room. I don't need a children's room."

Lao Qin rubbed his head: "That's true. You said that you are neither married nor have children. Why do you need such a big house? There is still some pressure to repay the loan."

Lu Yi ignored him, standing on the balcony, the high-level view was wide open, facing a vast wasteland.In urban planning, it is a park.Because of this park, the house facing him is more than 100 million more expensive than others.Lu Yi thought, since he intends to live, he should do his best to give himself the best, the more expensive it is.

But he didn't think that he might live in this house alone in the end. If he lived alone, it would be a bit too big and too empty. The kitchen doesn't need to be so big, and there's no need for two bathrooms.

"Old Qin, please measure it for me, I'll smoke a cigarette."

Lao Qin took tools from his bag.Usually these tasks are not done by them, but this is the boss's own house, so naturally it takes a little more effort.

"Quantity, it's okay to make three-dimensional drawings, but you should do the design yourself. How can you design your own house for others."

"It's okay, you live well, I can trust you."

"...I think you are just lazy."

Lu Yi was smoking on the balcony with the windows open. The house was unoccupied and there was no heating. It didn't take long for the wind to blow his face cold. He closed his eyes, only the eyelids were warm and moist.

Two days ago, the landlord who was renting a house over there came to talk about the next year's lease. Lu Yi should have terminated the lease, but he didn't. He was afraid that when he moved, Nan still didn't come back. He couldn't move to the new house alone.

It has been a week since Nan ran away from his house, and he didn't answer the phone or reply to the message. He went to the club to find someone, only to find out that the end of the year was approaching, and he took an early vacation.

Where else could he go, except to go home, Lu Yi didn't know exactly where his home was, the only place he could go was Wen Jianming's place.Lu Yi didn't know what he should do, if he went to look for it, it meant that he had to accept everything.And he didn't want to compromise.

On the way back, Lao Qin asked, "It's almost Chinese New Year, how are you doing this year?"

Lu Yi thought for a while: "Let's live like this."

"How do you live like this? Jin Xi will go back to her hometown with her boyfriend to meet her future in-laws this year, and they will not be in Beijing during the Chinese New Year, do you know?"

"Well, she did."

Old Qin recalled what Jin Xi had told him: "Why don't you go home with me this year, my family's New Year's Eve dinner will be eaten at home, and you know my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, it's no worse than outside."

"Forget it, your own family members have a good reunion, and it's not convenient for me to be an outsider."

"What family members and outsiders, you have one more pair of chopsticks, it's okay..." Seeing that Lu Yi didn't answer, Lao Qin realized later, "Is there something wrong with you, and someone will accompany you during the Chinese New Year?"

Lu Yi still didn't speak. He and Nan Nan agreed that they would spend New Year's Eve together, but he was not sure about the situation now.

"Okay, if you don't want to go back to your hometown and want to find a place to celebrate the New Year, call me anytime."

Thinking that it is not easy to buy tickets during the Spring Festival travel season, Lu Yi's company has a holiday on the 26th.The employees were holding year-end bonuses, An An from the same city was preparing for the New Year with peace of mind, and those from other places happily bought tickets to go home.

Like a great escape, the whole city has been emptied rapidly in the past few days, and the number of pedestrians and vehicles on the road has decreased visibly with the naked eye. Lu Yi began to find that the delivery time of the food was extended, and no one delivered food to him late at night.

He nestled in an empty home for a day.On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, he woke up early in the morning, lying in bed, and suddenly found that the house was very big.He has lived here for several years, and he used to think it was just right to live alone, but after Nan Nan lived there for a long time, he felt that the house was big for the first time.Thinking of his new home, it was even bigger, and just thinking about it, the feeling of emptiness seemed to pass through his body, leaving him alone in the wilderness, surrounded by loneliness.

This sudden feeling of loneliness made him flustered and at a loss, so he got up early and went to the company.

When I was having lunch, I found that almost all the fast food restaurants near the company were closed, and there was only one rib restaurant open.After staying up late at night, he returned home and called Nan Nan, but no one answered.Lu Yi lay on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another. He opened his mobile phone and kept scrolling through the contact list, only to find that there was no one in this city that he could contact in this situation.His fingers finally landed on his parents' phone, but he still couldn't dial out.

On the 28th, the building where the company is located also became quiet, and other companies also went on holiday one after another, and almost everyone left.Lu Yi has been working hard in the office for a whole day. In the past, he was the least willing to work overtime.

On the 29th, the last Ribs Restaurant also closed to go home for the New Year. Lu went downstairs to search around, but he couldn't find a fast food restaurant that was still open.There were restaurants still open further away, but he finally turned around and went to the convenience store downstairs to buy a bucket of instant noodles.After eating at the convenience store, he bought another four barrels and carried them upstairs.

On the [-]th day of the new year, he worked from morning to night, and finished the first project to be delivered in the first year of the year by himself.He leaned back in the swivel leather chair, waiting for the relief of the task being done, but nothing, just tired and dazed.

This is the most solemn festival of the year, Lu Yi's car was driving on the road, and he couldn't run into another car for a long time.In the past, this cramped and always congested road seldom showed its true face to pedestrians. Lu Yicai found that the road was not narrow before, and the standard eight-lane road seemed spacious and plentiful.

The road is smooth and quiet, only the colored lights and lanterns hanging on the trees on both sides of the road are particularly lively.The colorful colors are lonely and lively, like a person crying and laughing unscrupulously by the side of the road.Lu Yi's car slipped under the colorful lights, and the colorful lights fell on his face. Under the green and bright red colors, there was an expressionless face.

As the car drove towards the outer circle, he could hear some fireworks and firecrackers one after another.The intersection near his home is a fireworks display point. The children huddled together, holding fairy wands in their hands, and the sound of zigzagging was drowned in their laughter.A cluster of salutes was raised, and with a bang, it just exploded on the roof of Lu Yi's car.Lu Yi didn't stop, the wheels ran over the embers that hadn't burned out, and wanted to get a little lively.

Lu Yi stood in front of the door of his own house, but he didn't have the courage to open the door.He eventually turned back into the car, ran over the embers of the last firework again, and headed west.

It was cold, and the colorful lights were brightly lit in the community, and there was no one outside.Lu Yi sat in the car and turned on the heater to the maximum, but he still felt cold.He looked at the window of the building in front of him, white and yellow light leaked from the window, either bright or dim, but he knew that the cluster of light was warm.

There is also a fireworks display point nearby, a cluster of soaring cannons blasted off into the sky, followed by glowing fireworks, which lit up like umbrellas, exploded, fell, and disappeared... The beautiful and gorgeous fireworks burned briefly, and the afterglow was reflected On those square window panes, just a little bit of ephemeral embellishment.

The beautiful fireworks are ephemeral and cold, but the light in those panes is eternal and warm.

A large table was made for the New Year's Eve dinner, with chicken, duck, fish, flowers and willows.Wen Jianming went out to shop in the morning and worked all afternoon, and Na Nan surrounded him, seemingly helping, but actually adding to the chaos.This table is enough for 20 people, but in fact there are only two people eating.But it doesn't matter, this is Wen Jianming's tradition, even if he is alone, he will make the New Year's Eve dinner so sumptuous.

Nan Nan lay prone on the table, swallowing her saliva non-stop.

"Don't wait, let's eat." Wen Jianming handed the empty bowl and chopsticks to Nan Nan.

Nan Nan glanced at the decorative clock on the wall, pushed the bowls and chopsticks aside, rested her arms on the table, buried her face in them, a little depressed.

"Wait a little longer, he will come."

Wen Jianming sat on the other side of the dining table, showing no emotion: "How do you know he will definitely come, don't wait."

Nan Nan lowered her head, looking depressed but stubborn.

After a while, he seemed to be talking to himself: "He is the same, he has nowhere to go, he is an orphan in this city."

A cluster of fireworks rose outside the window, crackling, and Nan Nan left the table and ran to the balcony.

……

The doorbell rang.

Lu Yi stood outside the door with lowered eyes, like a firework that had just been blown up, with only gray embers on his face.

Wen Jianming opened the door, and was not surprised to see him like this, but felt a twitch in his heart, feeling dull and aching.

"Come in, it's cold outside."

Lu Yichao entered Wen Jianming's home where the heating was adequate and the food was fragrant.

"Nan has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Yi raised his eyelids and looked at Nan who was walking towards him.

"Me too."

Lu Yi turned his head, met Shang Wen Jianming's gentle and loving eyes, and moved his pale lips with cold.

In the end, he still didn't say anything, and he seemed to have said everything.
