Yu Zhinian felt that he was ordered to move in his birth year.

In the six months since he returned to Ning City, he has changed his residence three times.

From November to December when he just returned to China, he lived in the foreign student dormitory arranged by the project team fairly stably.

From January to April of the following year, he and his fellow student and good friend Shao Xilin did field work on the floating population in the community of the project, and rented two single rooms in an urban village in the city.

In early April, the two returned to school and found that there were some problems with the dormitory allocation and management.

Yu Zhinian's original room was occupied by someone else, so he had to move to another room in the next building.

The new dormitory is on the seventh floor of the building next door, the deepest part of the corridor, close to the woods of the school, much quieter than the previous set of lower floors along the main road.Yu Zhinian lived in it and concentrated on sorting out records, analyzing materials, and writing stage papers for the project, but he felt like a blessing in disguise.

It’s just that the good times don’t last long. One afternoon in late April, before the start of the regular project meeting, the instructor suddenly told them that the part of the project in Ning City was about to end in late May, and asked them to buy a plane ticket to return home in time.

Yu Zhinian was originally looking at the materials circulated to them by his mentor, but he raised his head when he heard this, and was stunned for a long time.

Before bringing Yu Zhinian and Shao Xilin to participate in the academic cooperation with Ningda University last year, the instructor estimated that they would have to stay in Ningshi for at least ten months.Now, after only staying for more than five months, it ended early. For Yu Zhinian, it was a bit sudden.

Yu Zhinian didn’t finish his thesis, and he didn’t make up for the few interviews he wanted to make up. Moreover, he borrowed a couple of friends and couples in the vacant house in Hebei City. He had to wait for more than two months after his friend graduated and vacated the house before he could live. go back.

But the most important thing is the daily necessities that Yu Zhinian put in the residence where he and Yang Ke lived together.

Yang Ke's lawyer and assistant have called Yu Zhinian many times to ask him when he will go back, hoping that he will get it as soon as possible as soon as he arrives.

According to the original schedule of going back to school in September, he has plenty of time.But when he returned to Heshi early, Yu Zhinian couldn't find a place to live, let alone dispose of the things moved out of Yang Ke's house.

Then, the regular meeting began.Mentors and students communicate progress and plans.

Yu Zhinian was distracted all the time, didn't listen to anything, and even randomly thought of several reasons for applying for a postponement of returning to school.

However, it is disgraceful and unprofessional to affect the progress of the project for the sake of private life, so after the regular meeting, Yu Zhinian absent-mindedly browsed the real estate website of Heshi City, trying to rent a room and spend the most embarrassing three months .

It is hard to find short-term rental housing in Hebei. Some rooms are well-decorated but too far away from the school; some are close to the school, but are in disrepair, with water seepage in the walls and insect infestation; there are few rooms with suitable hardware and distance, and the price It's too high.

Yu Zhinian gradually became engrossed in watching, carefully comparing each listing, until the opening music of the campus radio broadcast at 06:30 suddenly came from outside the building, and he realized that it was getting late, and the sunset outside the window was almost fading.

Originally, there was a whole room full of people, but now only Shao Xilin was sitting not far from him, watching a tablet computer.

"Xilin," Yu Zhinian called him, "why don't you go to eat?"

Shao Xilin looked up at him and said, "I think you have something bothering you."

Shao Xilin has a straightforward personality and a good temper. Yu Zhinian has a good relationship with him.However, Shao Xilin has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder in his life and cannot live with others.

Yu Zhinian thought about it, and still told him: "I might not have a house to live in when I go back to school."

"I have been looking at renting a house for a long time, but there is no suitable one," Yu Zhinian asked without hope, "Do you have any connections?"

"Don't you live in a big villa in Rosser District?" Shao Xilin said, "I've heard people say it."

"That's not my house," Yu Zhinian supposedly shouldn't have felt any more, but suddenly being forced to mention Rother District, still felt a little heartbroken, "I can't live there anymore."

Shao Xilin said "Oh" without asking further, and suggested: "You can contact that kind of real estate manager and ask them to find it for you."

Shao Xilin reminded Yu Zhinian that he thought of someone.

This person is called Lin Kai, and he is a real estate agent.A few years ago, Lin Kai helped Yu Zhinian buy this house in Heshi City.

The house is Yang Ke's coming-of-age gift from his grandfather.Since buying the house, Yu Zhinian has never been in touch with Lin Kai.

Yu Zhinian didn't know whether he also provided rental services, and he was a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so he dug out his number from the address book and sent him a message.

Lin Kai quickly called back.He was very enthusiastic and said that he had a rental business. After hearing Yu Zhinian's detailed information, he confidently made a guarantee that he would be able to find a suitable property soon.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Zhinian went back to the dormitory and started writing the paper again.

In between writing the thesis, he also made an appointment with an interview subject, and wanted to do a supplementary interview before returning to Hertz.

After learning that he didn't have much time to stay in Ning City, Yu Zhinian's efficiency seemed to increase. By ten o'clock in the evening, he had finished half of the first draft.

When he closed the computer and was going to take a shower, Lin Kai called him.

"Mr. Yu," Lin Kai said happily, "good news, I found an unlisted property. The owner of the property is willing to rent it out, but the quotation is 5.00% higher than your budget. I wonder if you can accept it."

He sent photos, the house was much better than the ones Yu Zhinian had seen, and the distance was very close.

Yu Zhinian settled the house and transferred the rent to Lin Kai, heaving a sigh of relief.

Coming out of the bathroom, he saw three missed calls on his phone, all from Yang Ke's assistant, Smith.

Yu Zhinian sat down on the chair, wiped his hair with a towel, and called Smith back.

Ning City in April was still a bit cold, and the moisture on Yu Zhinian's body that hadn't been wiped off took away a little warmth.Listening to the connection tone of the outgoing call, he felt a little cold and uncomfortable with shortness of breath.

"Mr. Yu," Smith answered the phone and greeted him politely, "Is there a time for your return?"

The timing of Smith's call was a bit coincidental, but he has been rushing lately, so Yu Zhinian didn't think too much about it, and told him, "Early next month, maybe the [-]th or [-]th."

"Great," Smith said, "Your items have been packed and placed in the storage room. When is it convenient for you to pick them up?"

Yu Zhinian paused, feeling his throat was dry.He put down the towel, curled up on the chair, and numbly said to Smith: "I haven't bought the ticket yet, and I will contact you when I get back."

"If you really can't wait, I'll find a moving company and move to their warehouse first." Yu Zhinian tried hard to think of a way, and discussed with him, "I'll look for it and call you."

It's only a few days before he goes back, and he can bear half a month's warehouse expenses.

But for some reason, Smith was silent for a while, and then said to him: "Mr. Yang doesn't want a group of strangers to enter the house, you'd better get it yourself."

Yu Zhinian agreed and hung up the phone.

The phone call didn't last long, but he felt very tired. He went to the bathroom, dried his hair, turned off the light and lay down on the bed. When he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly thought that after returning to Ning City, it seemed that there would be no more I have heard Yang Ke's voice.

In the second half of living together for more than a year, he didn't dare to meet Yang Ke. If he heard Yang Ke talking to the nanny when he went downstairs, he would go back to the room and go down after a while.

Because he is no longer that very brave Yu Zhinian.

He lay down for a while, looking at the dark ceiling, his eyes were not sore, but his head hurt a little.

He will be leaving this dormitory again in a week or two, and he feels tired.

At this time, the screen of Yu Zhinian's phone was on, and he took it over to take a look. It was a text message from Shao Xilin, asking him if he found the house, and seemed to be reluctantly telling Yu Zhinian that if he couldn't find it, his house was available. The room was vacant, but his living habits were relatively strict, and then he sent Yu Zhinian a long-page co-tenancy notice.

Yu Zhinian started to read it carefully, halfway through, he couldn't help laughing, and replied to Shao Xilin: "I have found a house, thank you."

Shao Xilin quickly replied "Yes".

Yu Zhinian put the phone aside, closed his eyes, and remembered Smith's urging again.

After moving rooms so many times in the past few months, his luggage became less and less, and he realized that the things he thought he had to bring were actually unnecessary.

Yu Zhinian suddenly wanted to look at the things he had put in the book, but he didn't want to get up again, and he didn't want to turn on the light, so he closed his eyes tightly, imagining that he walked to the side of the suitcase, opened the suitcase, and took out Yang Ke's book from the interlayer. train ticket.

This ticket was stolen by him.

On Christmas Eve two years ago, he went out with Yang Ke for the first time, taking the intercity train to see Yang Ke's seriously ill grandfather.

While Yang Ke wasn't paying attention, he stole Yang Ke's ticket stub as a souvenir.

At that time, Yu Zhinian was still courageous, and he couldn't learn to hide his love for Yang Ke.He sent a message to Yang Ke, even if he knew that he would not get a response, there would still be some sweetness and anticipation.

Unlike now, just imagining being close to Yang Ke, it seems that he has started to fall freely, his legs are numb, and he just wants to stay away.

Every time Yu Zhinian recalled that chaotic Christmas Eve, it was like watching a reassuring movie.

That night carried many good things that Yu Zhinian wanted, so he thought about it repeatedly and spent most of the night.
