stories that happened on a specific occasion

Chapter 24 The unknown troubles of independent apartments

I don't know how many times Hongfei has descended from the frost, and the thoughts of Yunshu will never be forgotten.

Just when I thought Zuo Zhenzhen was angry because of my joke, she suddenly appeared at my door one night.

"This." She didn't meet my eyes, but handed me a CD.

I looked at the disc in my hand, there was no title on it, it was just an ordinary disc for burning.

Zuo Zhenzhen walked through the door by herself and came to the living room.

"This is the surveillance video I got from the police station, and there is a picture of Lin Yancheng in it." Zuo Zhenzhen said, "I just got it from Lao Deng, and I haven't watched it yet. Let's watch it together."

I put the CD into the machine and sat side by side with Zuo Zhenzhen on the sofa to watch it.

In the picture, I saw a tall man.He was wearing a black suit, and even through the surveillance camera, he could feel the extraordinary appearance of this man.It suddenly occurred to me that what Zuo Zhenzhen said about Hirata's description of the man named Sato who appeared at the mourning sacrifice might be this feeling.

The video was playing quietly, and it could be seen that when he was about to enter the police station, the man who called himself Lin Yancheng suddenly stopped in his tracks.Unbelievably, he raised his head and stared directly at the surveillance camera.

That kind of look seemed to penetrate the lens, looking directly at me.

At the end of the screen, Lin Yancheng showed a weird smile, and then walked into the police station.

For some reason, a chilling feeling arises spontaneously.

"Are you OK?"

Zuo Zhenzhen seemed to have noticed my abnormality and asked.

"fine."

I turned to answer her, only to realize that I was sitting very close to her.

Realizing this, we all laughed awkwardly and quickly moved aside.

"I'm going back first." Zuo Zhenzhen suddenly stood up and said.

I didn't dare to look at her, I just nodded silently.

This is not the first time that such a delicate atmosphere has occurred.

"That." Before leaving, Zuo Zhenzhen turned to me and said, "I saw that the persimmons were pretty good, so I bought some. It's a thank you gift from last time."

I raised my head to look at her, but still just nodded awkwardly.

I don't know whether to be happy or distressed.

It seems that people's mood swings are easy to see. For several days, X seemed to have discovered this subtle anomaly, and tortured me from time to time.

"Is there something new?" X always asked.

I always wave my hand, or give him a stern look when I'm bored, and let him experience it for himself.

I never thought that I would take the initiative to work overtime to avoid embarrassment.

But what I didn't expect is that some things will happen after all, even if they escape, it won't help.

A few days ago, Lao Deng asked me to have dinner with Zuo Zhenzhen.

"I asked someone to investigate this Lin Yancheng." Lao Deng said to me and Zuo Zhenzhen: "It's really strange."

"What kind of strange method?" Zuo Zhenzhen asked.

"There is no information that matches this person's appearance and name," Lao Deng said.

"Could he be the Japanese Sato?" I asked.

"That's the strange thing. I even checked the entry and exit records, and I found Hirata Kenichi's records, but I just didn't find any records about Lin Yancheng or Sato." Lao Deng finished speaking and took a sip of his wine.

Unexpectedly, with the image data of Lin Yancheng, the clues were completely broken.

"If you want to search again, unless you want to find the Japanese police." Old Deng added.

But we all know that this is impossible.We neither have any relationship to do this, nor do we have enough evidence to prove that this Lin Yan achievement must be the Japanese Sato.What's more, there are nearly 1 cities in Japan, with more than [-] million people living in them. It is not easy to find this person with just a not very clear picture and a surname.

Once again, I think the matter of Mr. Hirata and the tiger pattern is over.

Zuo Zhenzhen sighed, with displeasure written all over her face.

"Don't be sad," Lao Deng comforted Zuo Zhenzhen, "This is also a kind of exercise. A reporter must have this kind of persistent spirit. There are no detours in the world for nothing."

Lao Deng's chicken soup for the soul was served, but Zuo Zhenzhen sighed again and said, "I'm not sad because of this matter."

After Lao Deng asked, Zuo Zhenzhen told us the whole story.

It turned out that Zuo Zhenzhen's landlord didn't intend to let her renew her lease because of the water leak last time.In a few days, Zuo Zhenzhen will face the situation of looking for a house and moving again.

"Unfortunately, my wife's parents moved to live with us, otherwise there would really be a place for you to transition." Lao Deng also said with a sigh.

The atmosphere just dropped to freezing point, and everyone seemed a little depressed.

"You can move to my house." I broke the silence.

As soon as these words came out, Lao Deng and Zuo Zhenzhen all looked at me.

In fact, even I was a little confused.

"That's not bad." Lao Deng said with a nod, and then touched Zuo Zhenzhen with his elbow.

Zuo Zhenzhen didn't react for a long time, her big eyes flickered, she didn't know where to look.

"Anyway, I have a vacant room. If you don't mind, you can move to my place first." I said, "If you find it inconvenient, you can move out after you find a suitable house."

Zuo Zhenzhen still didn't speak, but nodded slowly.

So, in order to welcome Zuo Zhenzhen's arrival, I took the time to tidy up the house first.Some things that are not commonly used are put away, freeing up a lot of space.However, on the day Zuo Zhenzhen moved, I realized that girls really have a lot of things.It's just the distance between going up and down the stairs, and X and I actually moved for a whole weekend before moving all of them.Those barely vacated places were also filled to the brim.

For this reason, I owe X another hot pot meal.

"No problem, come to eat at home. I'll do it." Zuo Zhenzhen said to X.

After hearing this, X smiled slyly and said, "Okay, sister-in-law."

His address immediately made my hair stand on end, and I hurriedly interrupted: "I heard! At least two manuscripts will be published next Monday. How is your progress?"

"Don't worry, it's almost done." X said, winking at me again.

After finally driving this guy away, it turned out that Zuo Zhenzhen and I were the only ones left in the house, and the atmosphere was even more embarrassing.

The first night Zuo Zhenzhen moved in, she made me dinner.

"How is it?" Zuo Zhenzhen asked me tentatively.

I tasted the scrambled egg with tomato and barely swallowed it.I thought to myself, she should have regarded salt as sugar.

"Not bad." I replied.

Zuo Zhenzhen was full of joy, and took a sip, and then said to me with a disappointed face, "I'm sorry, my craftsmanship is too bad."

"It doesn't matter, I think it's pretty good." I said, "I'm not picky eaters, I'll eat anything."

Seeing me laughing, Zuo Zhenzhen laughed too, and said casually, "It's really easy to feed."

After Zuo Zhenzhen finished speaking, she looked at me, and we both laughed awkwardly again.

"I have never eaten food cooked by other women, except my mother." I tried to change the subject and said.

Zuo Zhenzhen suddenly looked at me with wide eyes, and asked, "Have you never had a girlfriend before?"

"Yes." I replied, "But I cook. Although my cooking skills are not very good."

"He really is a warm man." Zuo Zhenzhen commented.

At this point in the conversation, the two of us looked at each other again and smiled awkwardly.

Changed subject, failed.

It is estimated that Zuo Zhenzhen is a little cautious when she is new here.Seeing that the plate in front of me was getting empty, but we both just kept our heads down and ate, we hesitated to speak a few times, and always felt that it would be a bit inappropriate to say anything.

Finally, after dinner, Zuo Zhenzhen put down her chopsticks and asked, "Recently, have you posted any interesting articles? It's similar to the story you told me before."

When it comes to work, I feel that the atmosphere is a little more relaxed.

After thinking carefully, he asked, "You're not afraid, are you?"

"What are you afraid of? I've seen it all." Zuo Zhenzhen said.

I suddenly remembered that Zuo Zhenzhen has yin and yang eyes.

I thought about it, and before the story started, I asked Zuo Zhenzhen: "Then take a look first, is there anything in my house?"

Zuo Zhenzhen looked around carefully, and then said to me: "It's nothing, it's very clean."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

Zuo Zhenzhen nodded affirmatively.

For some reason, I was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.

So, I reorganized my mood and told Zuo Zhenzhen a contribution I saw last week at the dinner table.

This submission first caught my attention because it is an all-English article.English that has been useless for several years, in order to read this story, I reviewed it all in my head.

The contributor of this story is Mr. J, a friend from country M who is studying in China.Although I have also studied Chinese for several years, I still find it difficult to type Chinese characters.After expressing my love for our website and the topic, I decided to write a story in English that happened to me.

Now, I borrow flowers to offer Buddha.

Mr J's story

Mr. J is an international volunteer and foreign language teacher, so he lives abroad with his wife all the year round.

But the story to be told this time happened when Mr. J was unmarried.

At that time, he was sent to teach in country K due to work reasons. Mr. J's educational institution, after negotiating with him, arranged for him to teach in a local university for a period of two years.

When Mr. J arrived in a strange country for the first time, he immediately felt the inconvenience caused by cultural differences.

First of all, not everyone here can speak fluent English. Some clerks in convenience stores don’t even know a lot of English words, and they have trouble checking out several times. Secondly, because the per capita area of ​​K country is small, even The self-contained apartment that was promised in advance, came to realize that it is actually a semi-shared state, and the kitchen and living room are shared by several households. Finally, the food here is spicy, which also caused Mr. J’s stomach discomfort for a period of time.

Although there are many unsatisfactory things, Mr. J is still dedicated to teaching in K country, and has won unanimous praise from the students.Moreover, after the university learned that Mr. J lived with others, he took the initiative to help him apply for an apartment specially provided for intern teachers from other places.

So, in the second year of teaching in Country K, Mr. J moved into this apartment on campus.

Although the apartment is not much larger than the previous room, the public area of ​​the living room is omitted, and the kitchen is just an induction cooker next to the sink in the room, but Mr. J feels much more comfortable.Just when Mr. J was satisfied with this change, the first night he spent in this apartment made him completely change his mind.

It was an apartment at the end of a corridor, and the building's interior and exterior walls had been refurbished last year, but inside it still had a traditional keyed twist lock.Just from the shape of the door lock, you can directly judge the age of the room, at least 30 to [-] years old.

But these are not enough to make Mr. J care. After all, free accommodation and independent space are already rare good things.

That night, Mr. J fell asleep early because of the exhaustion of moving.

But at unknown time, Mr. J woke up suddenly.

It's not the kind of gradual waking up, but the feeling of waking up suddenly and without sleepiness.

Mr. J thought that maybe he had just moved into this new apartment, and his brain was still in a state of excitement due to the joy of his mood, which led to his instant sobriety. Seeing that the room was still dark, Mr. J knew that it was not yet dawn, so he planned to turn over and continue to sleep.

But at this moment, Mr. J found that he could not move.

Except for the opened eyes, the whole body seemed to be as heavy as a stone, and even the fine hairs were stiff.No matter how Mr. J tried to struggle, he couldn't even move his fingers.

At this moment, Mr. J suddenly saw a person standing at the foot of his bed.

In the dim light, Mr. J saw that the man was standing at the foot of his bed in white clothes with long hair hanging loose.

Mr. J immediately held his breath and stared at the stranger in the room.

Mr. J thought carefully about whether he locked the door before going to bed, whether he hung the chain on the door, and so on.

Just when Mr. J was trying to think, the man suddenly moved.

It's not like walking around, or raising your hand.Instead, standing still, his body swayed back and forth.The man's neck seemed to be broken, and every time her body shook, her head would jerk, swinging forward and then backward.

That's it, forward, backward.

Mr. J was lying on the bed unable to move, his eyes widened and he stared at the person at the foot of the bed.

Forward, backward.

Slowly, the shaking speed of that person actually accelerated.

Forward, backward, forward, backward.

As the speed got faster and faster, that person's limbs looked more and more weird.

The head seemed to be broken at any moment and flew towards Mr. J.

Forward, backward, forward, backward.

Mr. J closed his eyes. At that time, he told himself silently in his heart that everything would disappear on the count of three, and it must be an illusion.

So, Mr. J counted silently in his heart.

three.

two.

One.

Mr. J's eyes snapped open.

However, the body was still unable to move, and the person standing at the foot of the bed did not disappear.

Instead, the man suddenly rushed towards Mr. J.

The head, which seemed to be broken off, was thrown towards Mr. J head-on.

Mr. J let out a loud cry, and hurriedly covered his face with his hands.

In an instant, Mr. J found that his body could move.He put his hand down, stood up and carefully looked at the apartment room of about ten square meters.

There was nothing but the pale moonlight slanting in through the windows.

Mr. J hurriedly turned on the lights in the room, and then looked at the door.

The door lock is locked from the inside, and the chain is also hung on the door well.

That night, Mr. J packed all the luggage he had packed during the day.

Early the next morning, Mr. J hastily moved back to the previous apartment on the grounds of not wanting to occupy the school resources because of his own bed.

Although the current Mr. J is still an atheist, he has yet to find a reasonable explanation for what happened that night.

"This is quite scary." Zuo Zhenzhen said.

I took out the persimmons she bought earlier.The ripe persimmons are soft, sweet and delicious.

"Tell me, why do some people still not believe it after seeing it?"

Zuo Zhenzhen and I started a discussion on this topic while eating persimmons.

"Do you believe it?" Zuo Zhenzhen asked me suddenly.

I nodded.

Zuo Zhenzhen looked at me and suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Why do you eat like a child." Zuo Zhenzhen said, "Here, there's a persimmon on your face."

I just ate half of the persimmon, and the juice flowed out of my hand.For a moment, I didn't know where to put the persimmons, or let Zuo Zhenzhen laugh and wipe them after eating.

While I was hesitating, Zuo Zhenzhen approached me.

"If it gets on the clothes, it will be troublesome."

As she spoke, she picked up the tissue at hand and helped me wipe off the persimmons around my mouth and chin.

I was surprised by her sudden action, and I didn't know where to look.

In the end, he looked into her eyes.

Unexpectedly, on the first day Zuo Zhenzhen moved here, she kissed me.
