"Retirement" is different from resignation. It is not that you can leave by saying "I want to resign and quit".

For general occupations, there is a handover procedure for resignation.Unless you plan to bid farewell to that industry completely, you will make a good handover before leaving.

Public figures such as celebrities are more troublesome. Suddenly "retiring from the circle" not only needs to negotiate with the company and endorsement brands in terms of business dealings, but also formally inform the media and say goodbye to fans.

Good news: the original owner has his own personal studio, and because of his entanglement with Gu Xilou recently, he has turned down many jobs and endorsements.

Bad news: The news that Ye Lanzhou is suspected of coming out of the closet just broke out, and he is on the cusp.If a retired press conference is held at this time, the reporters' questions will definitely be sharp and full of offense.

Therefore, the manager suggested that Ye Lanzhou be quiet for a while, and wait for the popularity of the news to subside. After the endorsement contract he signed before expires, it will not be too late to withdraw from the circle, otherwise the compensation alone will empty the company's wealth. The employees of the company also need to arrange... all kinds of things can't be sorted out in ten and a half months.

Ye Lanzhou was not idle while waiting for the press conference. He bought a country house in Village J, Town G, City A through an intermediary.Compared with City H, which is always cloudy and rainy, the climate of City A is drier, with four distinct seasons, clear blue skies can be seen most of the year, and heavy snow falls like goose feathers in winter.

It is said to be a country house, but it is actually a new house in a mountain village, but the location is good: the house is located at the foot of the mountain, built according to the mountain, the whole is about a right triangle, the hypotenuse is the yard next to the road, and the right angle is the residential area. There are three warehouses on the long side next to the residential area, and each warehouse is about ten square meters.

The farthest corner from the residential area is the pigsty built by the previous owner. The fence built of bricks and stones is one meter high. Now it is covered with fallen leaves, but there is no bad smell.The courtyard wall is about two meters high, and there is a row of street trees outside. The courtyard area is more than 100 square meters, and the ground is paved with red bricks.

There are two doors in the yard, one is the iron gate facing the road, and the other is the solid wood back door sandwiched between the warehouse and the pigsty.Push open the back door, climb a slope of more than ten meters, and you can see a vast black field, which is the three-acre field that Ye Lanzhou and the house bought together.

The fields had been left unused for some time, and there were many weeds crawling on the black and brown soil.Around the field, two sides are cliffs close to 70 degrees, one side is a gentle slope leading directly to the back door of the yard and Ye Lanzhou, and the other side connects the mountain road up the mountain and the road in front of the door.

The residential area covers an area of ​​more than 80 square meters. It is a small two-story building with good lighting.The first floor has a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The kitchen and living room are relatively large. The door facing the sun is a sliding glass door, and there is a security door outside the glass door.

The second floor has two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. The living room has a row of floor-to-ceiling windows with a 120-degree view, allowing you to enjoy both sunrise and sunset.There are also steps leading to the roof on the second floor. Push open the skylight to keep out the rain and go up to the roof terrace.

There is an awning made of simple wooden boards on the roof, and there is a low wall made of bricks, stones and cement around half a person's height. The top of the wall is also made into a platform about 30 cm wide, which is like a bench for people to sit on. Rest, just be safe.

The winding and flat road outside the courtyard can go directly to the county seat, and there are two buses to the town in the morning and evening every day.But according to the intermediary, every household living here has a private car, which may be a car, a truck, or an electric three-wheeler, which makes it easier to go to the town for work and shopping.Moreover, every house here is separated by a certain distance, so it is not easy to be disturbed by neighbors.

After seeing it on the spot, Ye Lanzhou was very satisfied and directly signed the contract with the agency.Because the previous owner was going to emigrate abroad, Ye Lanzhou paid the full amount in one lump sum, plus various handling fees, the total amount was less than 200 million.After all, the place is remote, so the price has not been copied.

After getting the new house, Ye Lanzhou planned to move, which also meant that he needed to decide how to treat Gu Xilou.

At this point, a week had passed since the two fell down the stairs.After a detailed examination by the doctor, Gu Xilou's injury at the back of his head not only caused his memory impairment, but also caused him to have a color vision disorder, that is, the world in his eyes seemed to be dragged into the PS and the saturation was pulled to the lowest level, and everything he saw was black, white and gray.

In addition to the amnesia, color blindness, and concussion caused by the injury to the back of the head, Gu Xilou had poor posture when he fell and sprained his foot. He needs to rest for at least another week.Probably deep characters are always reticent, so Gu Xilou lay silently on the bed for a week.When Ye Lanzhou unpacked the takeaway and put it in front of him, or helped him get something, he would politely say thank you, and he was calm and introverted.

If Ye Lanzhou hadn't read the original book, he would have believed that Gu Xilou was as harmless as he appeared!I really can't make people feel at ease...

Putting the folded clothes in his hands into the cardboard box, Ye Lanzhou sighed secretly, and finally made up his mind, "I bought a house in Village J, Town G, City A, you can live with me."

Gu Xilou was lying on the sofa, his ankles fixed by bandages were raised on the armrest, and he was resting with his eyes closed. Hearing that the black crow's eyelashes trembled, revealing his pure black eyes, he replied docilely: "Okay."

Ye Lanzhou returned him with an equally gentle smile, "Then I'll go and pack your clothes now, the moving company will be there tomorrow, and it's quite far from J Village, so bring the things we usually use first, and move the rest on the next trip. It's quiet over there, and it's convenient for you to cultivate."

After finishing speaking, Ye Lanzhou walked into Gu Xilou's room with the cardboard box in her arms, opened the closet, and began to stuff the luggage.Ye Lanzhou intends to only bring food, clothing, and housing-related items, such as clothes, bedding, tables and chairs, pots and pans, household appliances, etc., and nothing else.In particular, Gu Xilou's electronic products such as computers, phones, and tablets were all hidden by Ye Lanzhou, and he planned to buy new ones after arriving in J Village.

The Mid-Autumn Festival on the [-]th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar just passed, and the weather turned cold. The two of them filled four large cardboard boxes with their summer and autumn clothes.Things that need to be taken away, things that need to be stored but not taken away...Ye Lanzhou only wears a T-shirt, and is still sweating profusely in the cool night.

The last night's dinner was still a takeaway, and the two ate noodles in silence. After washing, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Ye Lanzhou woke up suddenly when she fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Because he just had a nightmare: In the dream, there was a black figure squatting beside his bed, staring at him without blinking.

At first, he vaguely wondered if it was a thief who broke into the house, but he randomly thought that he was wearing a book, and the doors and windows of the villa were closed tightly, so it was impossible for a thief to come in.He also felt the cold staring eyes, like a huge python, measuring how to swallow him.

Drenched in cold sweat, Ye Lanzhou struggled to wake up, but his body was so heavy that he wanted to be crushed by a cruise ship, unable to move.Until a cold thing slid across his sweaty cheek, as if being licked by a snake letter, Ye Lanzhou woke up suddenly and regained control of his body.He immediately turned his head to look to the side, suffocated by the real black shadow, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.

After swallowing desperately, Ye Lanzhou regained his composure, and asked hoarsely and naturally, "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he turned on the desk lamp.

The warm yellow light illuminated Gu Xilou's face. It was a perfect oriental classical face. Even if there were bandages and gauze on his head, it would not damage his beauty.His pale face, light-colored lips, and lack of energy and blood only added to his pitiful weakness.

But that doesn't mean he's really weak.Ye Lanzhou, who has read the original book, is very clear that the body wrapped in the silk nightgown has never been neglected in exercise, plump chest muscles, firm six-pack abdominal muscles, toned and slender legs... Under the white skin is firm Muscles contain amazing explosive power.The author gave him a height of 188 and a rich capital of 188 without hesitation!

Although it is useless...

Gu Xilou, who was stared at vigilantly by Ye Lanzhou, still looked so quiet and well-behaved during the day, but his breath was inexplicably dangerous, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, even if he was motionless, his hairs would stand on end.

With thin pink lips opening and closing, Gu Xilou looked at him harmlessly with pure black eyes, and explained, "I lie down too much during the day and can't sleep. It's quite cold tonight, let's see if you sleep well good."

"..." Ye Lanzhou tried to force a smile, "It's just so cool, and the air conditioner doesn't even need to be turned on. Your feet aren't healed yet, so you should move less and go to rest. You'll have to get up early tomorrow and take a long ride in the car!"

Seeing the tall figure walking out of the room with the help of the wall, Ye Lanzhou immediately closed the door, this time it was locked.Now he began to feel that it was not a good idea to take Gu Xilou there.

He obviously doesn't remember anything, but he can pretend and show his weakness to the enemy.

The one who prevented Gu Xilou from recovering his memory could indeed be regarded as his enemy.

But can he ignore Gu Xilou?

cannot.Even if he didn't give him a new life to repay the original owner, just because he already knew the plot... Ye Lanzhou couldn't stand by and watch.

He already knows, so he can no longer pretend not to know.He still wanted to do his best to save Gu Xilou, save his life, and at the same time not let him hurt others——Ye Lanzhou could continue to live his little life with a clear heart.

But if it is really impossible to change the plot of the original book, Ye Lanzhou will give up at his discretion.Of course, if possible, he can help to call the police.

He really cherishes the second life, and he will definitely finish it seriously and happily.

From the old house in city B to the new house in village J, the truck has to drive on the highway for 5 hours first, and then drive for 3 hours after getting off the highway, which is a total of 8 hours.

Ye Lanzhou doesn't get motion sickness, it's just that her back is stiff in the car.Gu Xilou's condition is not very good, he has a head injury, because of a concussion, he vomited several times a few days ago last week.He looked fine as the truck drove smoothly on the highway.

After the truck got off the highway, the closer it was to the countryside, the more uneven the road was, and the body swayed slightly, especially when the truck braked suddenly at a red light, which made people feel like their brains were shaking.

"Need to vomit?" Ye Lanzhou saw the veins bulge on the back of his hand holding the ring tightly, his brows were tightly frowned, and the bloodless lips on his pale face were tightly pursed.

Gu Xilou didn't speak, just waved his hand lightly.

Ye Lanzhou thought for a while, told the master to brake slowly, and opened the car window slightly, the cold air mixed with fine dust and the fragrance of green grass immediately poured in, arousing goose bumps on his arm by the window.

Putting the backpack on his lap, Ye Lanzhou patted the soft cloth, and said to Gu Xilou: "Come here, the car will drive for another two hours, close your eyes and rest."

The driver concentrated on driving for several hours and was bored. Hearing this, he couldn't help teasing: "You two are brothers? You have such a good relationship."

"No, it's a roommate who has lived together for many years. The house price in City B is expensive, so I plan to go back to the countryside to live." Ye Lanzhou smiled, and after Gu Xilou obediently leaned over, he handed him an orange, and leaned back to the back of the chair.

The aroma of citrus is strong but not irritating. Ye Lanzhou used to like to smell the smell of fresh orange peels when she was motion sick.

After the truck drove into town G, there were fewer tall buildings and more farmland.After the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the corn is harvested, mountains of sweet and fragrant gold have been piled up in the fields, and there are still corn kernels laid out to dry in the open space. From a distance, it looks like a golden river.

From G Town to J Village, the road narrows, with rocks on one side and unripe cornfields on the other.In the villages near the mountains, the temperature is always several degrees lower than that in the towns, and the rice and maize ripen a few days later.

Some of the weeds on the roadside have dried up, some are still green, and there are lively little flowers scattered among the blue and yellow like stars: the color of the petals of the mother-in-law is the azure blue of the autumn sky, and the color of the petals of Cucumber Fragrance is the light color of the sky after the summer rain. Blue, and a small flower with golden yellow petals that cannot be named...

Ye Lanzhou also saw green bamboos retreating rapidly in the car window, and couldn't help looking after them, thinking: So there are bamboos here, I didn't pay attention last time...

The truck stopped in front of the courtyard of the new house, and all the furniture and furnishings in the house had been cleared away, and the vacant rooms were cleaned by the hired cleaners.Now it is only necessary for the moving masters to move the things in and arrange them one by one.The cartons were stacked together, and Ye Lanzhou would pick them up when they were empty.

Watching the moving company's truck leave, Ye Lanzhou patted the dust on his hands, and said easily: "Okay! I'll pack things up later, let's deal with today's dinner first!"

The new house has been connected to water, electricity and natural gas. Ye Lanzhou first dug out the pots and pans from the pile of cardboard boxes, and then found the only fruits and vegetables left: Pleurotus eryngii, cucumbers and apples.

The original owner and Gu Xilou usually rely on ordering takeout to make a living, and there is always only fruit wine in the refrigerator.Although there is a semi-open kitchen with pots and pans, seasonings and oily rice noodles, except for the occasional stew, it is hardly used.

In the past week, Ye Lanzhou was busy with the new house and quitting the circle. He ran around every day and was exhausted, so he didn't have the heart to cook.So much so that when looking for ingredients now, there are only gift boxes of Pleurotus eryngii and sporadic fruits, as well as some unexpired condiments.

It was already dark at this time, and Ye Lanzhou was too lazy to go to town, let alone bother the strange neighbors, so he designed the menu for tonight with the only ingredients: dry-stir-fried shredded Pleurotus eryngii, stir-fried cucumber, and a shredded apple.

The author has something to say: Ask for favorites >3<~吃

The first few chapters have a lot of foreshadowing. I personally think that starting from Chapter 9, the plot will become more exciting~
