: "I know you are rich."

"That's not what I meant." Shen Qiuhe sighed, "Su Jin, we may not know each other very well, but can you trust me once, believe that I am different from that guy in the bar, I borrowed money from you impulsively, But I don't want it to affect your life."

Su Jin lowered his head and was silent for a while.

Seeing that the girl didn't object, Shen Qiuhe probably understood that she must have agreed with his words in her heart, so she laughed again: "Little kid, be more sunny. Let's eat quickly, I want to eat big noodles."

Although the ramen chef said he was stupid, the noodles he made were still delicious. Shen Qiuhe couldn't stop nodding in praise. The noodles were quickly eaten up, and half a bowl of soup went down.

Su Jin propped his chin with one hand, bent his mouth and watched the woman eating noodles and soup gracefully, and praised the noodles politely and sincerely.

"Do you live near here?" Thinking that Su Jin would often come here to eat, Shen Qiuhe asked abruptly.

"En." The girl nodded.

"Do you live with your parents?"

The girl turned her head, picked up the tissue next to her, wrapped her hands, and said softly, "No, my parents died when I was very young. I used to live at my aunt's house, but when I became an adult, I moved out and rented a house by myself."

"Ah, sorry, I didn't think..."

"It's okay." The girl shrugged indifferently.

But this answer still made Shen Qiuhe a little embarrassed for a moment. She thought that the girl might be from poor family conditions, or the kind of child who does not rely on the family, but she never expected that she would have such a family background, let alone that she was a Man sustains his own life.

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Qiuhe asked a little cautiously: "If it's close, is it convenient for me to take a look?"

Hearing Shen Qiuhe's words, Su Jin was stunned for a moment, then concentrated slightly, staring at the woman in front of him with deep eyes.

From the beginning when she and Shen Qiuhe just transferred money online to pay back the money, then later met in a cafe, and then bought flowers to promote flower shops a few days ago, the two of them met more and more frequently. Talking, but as the relationship gradually became familiar, she also began to talk about herself with Shen Qiuhe.

And now, it seems that this woman doesn't want to be a simple debt relationship, she is breaking into her life in a soft and not offensive way, and she wants to know more.

Su Jin lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.

It's a subtle feeling, and it's really interesting.

"Okay."

The girl parted her thin lips lightly, and gave Shen Qiuhe a sweet smile.

—

Shen Qiuhe really didn't expect Su Jin to agree to take her to her residence so readily. Based on Shen Qiuhe's observation, she felt that Su Jin should be the kind of person with a strong sense of territory, and would not let others easily enter her territory. , and will not easily visit others.

And as she slowly followed Su Jin to the rental room, Shen Qiuhe looked at the surrounding environment and also observed Su Jin's expression.

This community is indeed too old. According to the current construction standards, it is not a community at all. There is no closed management, no property, and the construction waste piled up next to the building emits a stench. The branches and leaves are scattered in the flower bed, and they have not had time to return to the soil.

In this way, the girl brought herself into the world she lives in. Does she really not mind seeing her?

Shen Qiuhe followed her silently, feeling more anxious than the girl.

"Shen Qiuhe, can you wait for me a moment?"

When he was about to reach the opening of the building, the girl stopped suddenly.

Following the girl's walking direction, Shen Qiuhe saw a cat's nest made of wooden boxes under the corner of the wall. Scattered garbage near the wall was thrown on the ground, but the area around the cat's nest was clean, with a plastic cover on it. There are food bowls and water bowls, obviously someone often takes care of them.

Hearing the familiar footsteps, a few kittens quickly ran out of the nearby grass, old cardboard boxes, and garbage dumps, and meowed at the girl a few times.

"Why are you only here~"

Su Jin took off his backpack, took out a plastic bag from it, and poured some cat food into the food bowl. Several cats immediately came over and buried their heads, and started to eat voraciously.

"Chengcheng, eat slowly. Erhui, be more civilized, why are you stepping on others when you eat! Doupi, you little idiot, what are you looking around, eat quickly, eat more to grow your body~~"

Shen Qiuhe stood aside, watching the girl squatting there, calling the names of the kittens one by one. Those kittens were like children whose names had been called, meowing loudly, and then continued to eat cat food.

Shen Qiuhe walked softly to Su Jin's side, fearing that the noise of the high heels would disturb the kittens who were eating.

"They all know you?" Shen Qiuhe asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Su Jin also smiled, and then pointed to a few cats.

"This big orange cat, called Chengcheng, is a female cat. It has two kittens, one is this, Doupi, and the other is called Wanzi. I don't know where Wanzi went today."

Hearing these names, Shen Qiuhe was overjoyed: "Haha, did you come up with the name?"

The girl giggled, showing two canine teeth: "Yes, the day Chengcheng gave birth to them, I happened to buy bean curd balls and eat them, they are called bean curd and balls."

Shen Qiuhe was sullen and continued to listen to the girl.

"The one that is very fierce and stomps on other people's heads is called Er Hui. Its mother is a big gray cat. I don't know where she gave birth to kittens, and I don't know how many kittens were born. Da Hui brought one back. .But the last time I saw Big Gray was this winter, and I haven’t seen it since then, and I don’t know if it went out to fight and never fought or encountered something.”

The girl's tone became sad, she opened the bag, took out the water glass and poured water into the small bowl next to it.

"There are too many cars on the road now, and it is dangerous for cats and dogs to cross the road. Sometimes it is not safe for them to hide under cars in winter, but there is no way, they don't know where the danger is, and they just want to find a warm place. "

Shen Qiuhe took the cat food from the girl's hand, and watched with her as the kittens ate all the cat food, and then the kittens raised their heads again and meowed.

"Their lives are indeed much more difficult than domestic cats, but they are more free than domestic cats." Shen Qiuhe looked at Su Jin's face and said softly.

The girl didn't respond, she greeted the meowing of several kittens, took out the canned cat food and poured it into the food bowl, and the kittens rushed over happily immediately.

Seeing how happily the kittens ate, the girl sighed softly, her eyes slightly sad.

"Wandering is indeed free, but who wouldn't want to have a home if they could?"

Shen Qiuhe looked at the kittens quietly, and stared at Su Jin's profile.

The girl who feeds the cats is kind. She names each kitten, remembers what each kitten looks like, and hopes that they will eat well, fight without losing, hope they will be safe, and build a nest for them. Keep them warm.

And this kind person, Shen Qiuhe suddenly felt that she was also a stray kitten.

Will she be able to accept other people's kindness like these kittens?

If so, can I be the one who treats her well?

Will she accept it?

At this time, Shen Qiuhe especially wanted to raise her up so that she would not suffer any grievances or harm outside, so that she would be able to run freely in this world.

—

Just as the two were about to go upstairs, they were stopped by a grandma on the first floor.

"Little Su~"

Grandma tremblingly supported the handrail of the stairs, and waved her hand towards Su Jin who had already stepped up the stairs.

The girl came down quickly and stood beside the old lady, so that the old man could talk easily.

"Xiao Su, you tell that Xiao Wang in the same room as you, don't play too late at night, keep your voice down a little, your uncle and I are getting older, and we can't bear it."

The girl nodded in front of the old man. Seeing the old lady walking back to the house, she smiled helplessly.

As soon as the door was opened, Shen Qiuhe immediately smelled the smell of smoke in the room.

A few empty beer bottles fell on the ground by the sofa, and a pool of yellow liquid dripped from the ground.

Clothes and pants were thrown on the sofa in a mess, and there were even a few socks on the armrest of the sofa, which looked worn.

There were cigarette butts in the cans and half of the black water on the coffee table, and a few unused condoms were randomly placed on the table.

Shen Qiuhe quickly saw the embarrassed expression on the girl's face.

"Sorry... I left early in the morning, I didn't know they... made it like this..."

Let Shen Qiuhe see such a scene, obviously not doing it by himself, Su Jin still blushed up to the ears.

"It's okay, don't do it, it's too dirty." Shen Qiuhe watched the girl go to clean up the dirty things on the coffee table, and quickly grabbed her arm.

With a light touch, Shen Qiuhe pulled her slender forearm into her hand, and the girl's body froze, her slightly red face turned red up to her ears.

"My room is over there..." The girl pointed to the door to the north, and quickly pulled her arm out of the woman's palm, pretending to be relaxed and leading her to her room.

The blushing face, stiff arms, and pursed lips because of nervousness, Shen Qiuhe saw all these. She watched the girl leave in a panic, and followed with a smile without saying a word.

Entering Su Jin's room, Shen Qiuhe immediately spread his smile.

There are completely two worlds here and outside. The old neighborhood, cramped corridors, unpleasant smell of cigarettes, and messy living room all disappear here.

The girl's room exudes a faint fragrance, which smells like green oranges.

The layout of the room is in Nordic style. Most of the bookshelves, computer desks, wooden beds, and wardrobes are in black, white and gray tones. They look simple and clean, and like Su Jin, they are slightly cold
