fall in love by chance

"Where do you live? Is it still on Century Road?" Liang Ruixi asked.

He remembered that Zhou Yan originally went back to Nanshi to take the public examination after graduation, but he heard that the other party had been in the system for a while, and felt very uncomfortable. He returned to Haicheng in less than half a year, and then joined a quite famous big law firm. So, I rented an apartment on Century Road.

They met once after that year, and it was he who took the initiative to ask Zhou Yan out, but Zhou Yan looked haggard.

Liang Ruixi can understand that the competition in Haicheng is already fierce, not to mention that they only graduated with a bachelor's degree. Even though Zhou Yan was the chairman of the student union of the F University Law School, he entered a large law firm because of his professional ability.Whether you can write various litigation documents, whether you can do research work, whether you can handle the relationship with the client well, and even whether you have your own case source, these are the things that determine whether a new legal person can quickly gain a foothold.

When we met that time, Liang Ruixi clearly felt Zhou Yan's alienation, as if he was too busy to care about maintaining the relationship between friends. "I" vibe.

And Liang Ruixi also lost an important relative in his life before the Spring Festival of that year, and was in a depressed state almost "bereavement" for almost a whole year afterwards.

The contact between the two has been reduced since then. Although they have met several times later, they are not special appointments, but they happen to meet by chance, chat for a few words, or have a classmate organize a dinner. Call them all over.

Therefore, Liang Ruixi's impression of Zhou Yan is still the same as when he lived on Century Road.

But if Zhou Yan still lives on Century Road, it should be far away from Lingzhou Second Hospital.

"No, I moved to Linshan Park." Zhou Yan said.

Liang Ruixi thought about it, Linshan Park is also six or seven kilometers away, so it's not as close as his home.

However, Zhou Yan has a car, so for a person who usually travels by car, this distance is not too far.

Zhou Yan bought a Volvo. In Haicheng at four o'clock in the morning, the elevated road was unimpeded, and he arrived near his residence in about ten minutes.

Seeing him driving the car into the underground garage of Shiyang Plaza, Liang Ruixi couldn't help asking in surprise, "You live in such a high-end place?"

"No, it's just parking here." Zhou Yan explained, and took Liang Ruixi out of the car. The two came out from the back door of the parking garage, walked through an alley, and entered a somewhat dilapidated old-fashioned community.

The wet asphalt road in the community presents a special texture under the street lamps, and there is a rustling sound when the foot steps on it, mixed with the smell of spring mud, as if it is soft, which makes Liang Ruixi feel unreal.

This place is a bit different from where he imagined Zhou Yan would live.

But it might be the dizziness and weakness caused by illness, Liang Ruixi didn't have the energy to look around, so he followed Zhou Yan into one of the buildings.

The two went up to the second floor lightly, and when they reached the door at the end of the aisle, Zhou Yan took out the key and opened the door, and said in a low voice, "Come in."

The light in the room was not turned on, and a scent of jasmine came rushing towards him. Liang Ruixi stretched his neck and smelled it, and asked in a daze, "Why does your room smell so fragrant?"

Zhou Yan paused for a moment, but said nothing.

Immediately the lights came on.

Liang Ruixi narrowed his eyes, and saw that the inside of the house is completely different from the outside, clean and tidy, and the decoration is not at all like an old house, but simple... What style is it called, coffee table?Yes, wabi-sabi, it’s this, this high-end-sounding word was explained to him by Zhou Yan in college, and he remembered it after saying it several times.

The house is about [-] to [-] square meters, but although the sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs, and there is no lack of kitchen and bathroom.Because the bedroom door is open, the layout of the room can be seen at a glance by standing in the living room.

The living room seems to be used by Zhou Yan as a study. There are some documents on the log coffee table, and a few stacks of professional books are piled on the carpet on one side.But even if it is stacked randomly like this, it does not look messy, because there are almost no other sundries in the room, so the whole presents a sense of scholarly beauty.

It was the same with Zhou Yan when he was in college, he was also a rough guy, his bed was always the most neatly folded, and the things on his desk were always the fewest.Zhou Yan likes to read books, but he remembers that he regularly buys some books online every month to the dormitory, and puts three large boxes under the bed.But even when reading books, he seldom underlined and took notes on them, and gave them all away when he graduated.

So seeing this environment, Liang Ruixi was very sure that it was the place where Zhou Yan would live.

"How much is your rent here?" Liang Ruixi asked a little bit excitedly.

The subway station in Linshan Park connects three lines, and it is considered the central area of ​​Anning District in Haicheng. Regardless of the old neighborhood and small houses, the rent should not be cheap.

"A one-bedroom household may be six or seven thousand? I don't know." Zhou Yan had already gone to the kitchen to fetch a cup of hot water while he was watching, and asked him to hold it to warm his hands.

"Huh? Didn't you rent this house?" Liang Ruixi narrowed his eyes comfortably after taking a mouthful of hot water.

"I bought it." Zhou Yan said.

"Bought it?" Liang Ruixi almost sprayed water directly.

"Ah."

"……How much?"

"More than 200 million." Zhou Yan's tone seemed to be saying 200 yuan.

"You bought it yourself?" Liang Ruixi felt inconceivable. With the current policy, it is impossible for them outsiders to buy a house in Haicheng, let alone more than 200 million. Zhou Yan has so much money?

"Well," Zhou Yan gave an affirmative answer, "Last year I moved my account here through Yintian, but I was afraid that the collective account would change in the future. Seeing that the housing price was still good at that time, I borrowed some money from a friend. I made a down payment," he looked around and said, "The borrowed years have already been repaid, and now I pay the mortgage every month, let's live in it first."

His tone seemed to be quite disapproving of this situation, which made Liang Ruixi almost doubt his life.

Yintian is the law firm that Zhou Yan went to when he first returned to Haicheng. With Zhou Yan's ability, Liang Ruixi was not surprised that he was able to get a quota of permanent residence through the company, but in just two and a half years, he not only settled down and bought Not long ago, he heard from Wei Ran that Zhou Yan had already started a partnership with others... Are these things normal people can do? !

"You don't plan to go back to Nanshi anymore?" Liang Ruixi's expression became a little dull when she asked this question, "Aren't your parents over there?"

Liang Ruixi had vaguely heard a little about Zhou Yan's family background from the conversation between Xiao Zhi and Zhou Yan before. He didn't have the habit of digging out other people's privacy, so he didn't know much about it, but he still had some concepts.

"I don't want to go back," Zhou Yan seemed unwilling to talk about this topic with him, "I'll talk about it later." After saying that, she turned and went to the bedroom, leaving Liang Ruixi alone in a mess.

Zhou Yan didn't know what he was looking for in it. In just a few minutes, Liang Ruixi had already made up his mind with the water glass in his hand, "Zhou Yan went around borrowing money to marry Xiao Zhi and settled down in Haicheng to buy a house, but Xiao Zhi didn't want to work together with him and was still here." Find another bitter scene in which Mr. Ruyi cruelly abandons Zhou Yan"...

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Yan reappeared in front of him and handed him something.

Liang Ruixi took a closer look and saw Zhou Yan holding a pair of men's underwear, suddenly a little embarrassed.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhou Yan said with a smile that was not a smile: "Why, you still want to sleep on my bed with your buttocks naked?"

Liang Ruixi's face became hot, and he quickly took it, and Zhou Yan added: "New."

"……"Hold.Don't tell me sooner!

"Then what, the two of us sleep in the same bed?" Liang Ruixi grabbed her underwear and stood at the door of the bedroom, poking her head.

"Not used to it?" Zhou Yan's voice came from the bathroom mixed with the sound of washing his face, faintly visible, "When I was in college, there was a time when you came to crawl into my bed every day, and the dormitory beds were less than one meter wide. It doesn't feel too crowded... Now this one, sleeps three of you enough, right?"

"Hmm..." Indeed, the bed is 1.8 meters long. I didn't expect Zhou Yan to sleep so big by himself.

But because I haven't seen each other for a long time, I always sleep in the same bed when I come here, and I am always a little uncomfortable psychologically.

Liang Ruixi was awkward, Zhou Yan came out of the bathroom, looked him up and down, and said three words in disgust: "So thin."

"...???"

"The towel is ready for you, just put it on the washstand in the bathroom." Zhou Yan ignored his cracked expression and passed him by, "Hurry up and wash your face and come to sleep."

When Liang Ruixi returned to the bedroom after washing, Zhou Yan had already made the bed, changed into loose pajamas, and prepared a set for Liang Ruixi, the same style but different colors.This time, Liang Ruixi didn't worry about whether it was new or old, he took off his tracksuit without Zhou Yan behind his back and put it on directly.

When he went to bed, he smelled the scent of jasmine that he had smelled when he entered the door.

Maybe he just got used to it and didn't notice it anymore, but at this moment, the smell reappeared, stronger than before, which made Liang Ruixi feel a little familiar, as if it was a long time ago, his hometown... the smell of his aunt.

It seemed a bit weird to say that, his aunt was thousands of miles away, how could she hear it here?

Liang Ruixi moved her nose to the pillow and inhaled. To be precise, it wasn't just the scent of jasmine, but also a scent of saponin.

Maybe the detergent Zhou Yan bought is jasmine-scented?

After finding a reasonable explanation, Liang Ruixi didn't struggle too much. After lying down, he put his hands on his chest in a regular manner, looked at the ceiling without squinting, and said, "Zhou Yan..."

"Ok?"

"I actually understand you very well," Liang Ruixi said in a soft tone on purpose, and comforted him earnestly, "Look, I was just dumped, and my ex-girlfriend suspected me of 'not doing it'... I was so angry that I was sent to the hospital with gastroenteritis Yes. But in terms of breaking up, I have much more experience than you. It was really uncomfortable at the beginning. Just for a while, you may feel that you have no energy to do anything, and you have no hope of living... But even so , you can't give up on yourself... Believe me, it will pass."

"..."

"And I found that you like to hide everything in your heart. When I was studying, I didn't think you were so dull. When I saw you this time, I felt that you were like a 70-[-]-year-old old man..."

"???"

"You can't hold back your emotions all the time, you have to vent them out, you know? Otherwise, something will go wrong. For example, I like to sing when I'm in a bad mood... Hey, let alone, you remind me of a song like this The song is called "Don't Say", "Liang Ruixi sang it all by himself, "I'm not hurt, not painful, not sad~~ I just don't say whether I am beautiful or not..."

He was also very nice when he sang a cappella, and Zhou Yan's breathing seemed to soften for a while.

After singing for a while, Liang Ruixi saw that Zhou Yan was still unresponsive, so she couldn't help but tilt her head and push him: "Hey."

As a result, Zhou Yan was grabbed by the wrist before he even touched Zhou Yan.

This movement was in a stalemate between the two for a second before Zhou Yan pushed his hand back to its original position, and pulled the quilt up for him, and said in a low voice, "I've never seen someone as energetic as you when you just came out of the hospital." Yes, it's almost dawn, go to sleep." After letting go, he turned across and turned off the bedside lamp on Liang Ruixi's side.

Before the room darkened, Liang Ruixi saw that Zhou Yan's face didn't look sad at all, he was clearly smiling.

The author has something to say:

1. [wabi-sabi] cha-ji: generally refers to simple and quiet things.A beauty full of time is revealed from the appearance of old objects; even if the appearance is mottled or faded, it cannot stop (or even strengthen) a shocking beauty. ——Network Encyclopedia

2. The price of the house that Zhou Yan bought refers to the price around 16 years ago, and it is far more than that now.

3. "It's not that I don't hurt, don't hurt, or feel sad. I just don't say whether I'm beautiful or not. People say that a heart is cut like a knife, and a diamond needs to be polished. Lost, digested into a warm love song, waiting for you to order when you are sad.” —— Li Ronghao "Don't Say"

Liang Ruixi: Zhou Yan should be comforted by me, I'm so awesome. (*￣︶￣)

Zhou Yan: You idiot.
