Chapter 24: Shared rent

Views:

The rain curtain outside the window was gray, and the smell of damp soil penetrated into the balcony through the screen.

"Are you going to keep looking at me?" Lu Hui frowned, and he pulled his right leg from Ji Fanyang's lap, "I'm hungry."

Ji Fanyang withdrew his gaze. For a moment, he was annoyed that he hadn't met Lu Hui earlier. The young man's eyes moved slightly: "What do you want to eat?"

"That's it? 'What do you want to eat', is this your usual way of comforting others?" Lu Hui suddenly became aggressive, "I really can't imagine how those girls were tricked by you."

Getting along with Lu Hui is a process of personally seeing how to write the four words "unreasonable". Ji Fanyang blinked: "Usually I will pat their arms and tell them that everything will pass." Turn, "But you must not feel relieved, so forget it."

Lu Hui hummed twice from his throat: "I will break the bridge of your nose, Mr. Angel."

Ji Fanyang pinched the bridge of his nose: "Thank you very much for letting go of my nose bridge."

Lu Hui stood up and shifted his weight to his left leg, trying not to put pressure on his right leg. Looking into the living room from the balcony, he saw a sofa, coffee table, refrigerator, and kitchen utensils. He said, "I want a pair of speakers."

"In the living room?" Ji Fanyang asked.

"Yeah." Lu Hui nodded, "There are also musical instruments, how about the bass?"

"No." Ji Fanyang sternly refused, "I don't want to be complained by my neighbors."

Lu Hui frowned, and reluctantly backed down a step: "Guitar."

"Okay." Ji Fanyang knew that it would be impossible to ask Lu Hui to compromise, so he thought to himself that the guitar was softer than the bass.

"Go to the furniture city now." Lu Hui suggested.

"In your current half-disabled state?" Ji Fanyang raised one eyebrow, expressing great doubts.

Lu Hui gave Ji Fanyang a cold look: "The cripple will save the world, let's go."

They walked out of the house together, and Lu Hui said: "Ji Fanyang, if you cheated on your new girlfriend, don't bring it back, and go find a room."

"..." Ji Fanyang said helplessly, "Okay."

"If you don't have any money, just go and raid a prostitution den." Lu Hui suggested enthusiastically, "Or go to the park."

"I'm not from the Anti-Pornography Brigade." Ji Fanyang said, "And I don't have a hobby of fighting in the field."

They pressed the elevator down button and stood side by side to wait.

"If I find a new girlfriend, I mean if." Ji Fanyang said, "I will try my best to beautify your image and introduce you to a good-tempered woman."

"No." Lu Hui refused, "I will call a prostitute///woman if I need it, or go to bar 419. I prefer to use money to solve problems."

"Do you still remember that you are a policeman?" Ji Fanyang looked up at the numbers jumping on the rectangular screen above the elevator, "And, have you really not considered getting married?"

"No." Lu Hui replied, Ding dong, the elevator is here, he stepped into the elevator room first, "I'm too kind, I can't bear to drag innocent girls into the mud."

Ji Fanyang rolled his eyes: "Older middle school."

"I know the meaning of that word." Lu Hui pressed the "1" button, and the elevator door closed, "Thank you for the compliment."

The elevator went straight down to the first floor, the elevator door opened, and a girl in a water-green dress appeared, Ji Fanyang smiled: "Hello."

Lu Hui raised the corners of his lips mockingly, watching the charming Mr. Sunshine flirting with his sister.

"Hello." The girl smiled generously, she walked into the elevator, Lu Hui and Ji Fanyang walked out of the elevator, and the three of them passed each other.

As the elevator door closed, Lu Hui touched Ji Fanyang's shoulder: "Love at first sight?"

"Greetings politely." Ji Fanyang ignored Lu Hui's narrowness. He tugged on Lu Hui's forearm, "Don't worry, cripple."

"It's only been lame for a day, don't be complacent, brat." Lu Hui had no choice but to keep up with Ji Fanyang's footsteps, "She looks pretty good, and she's well dressed."

"Shut up, old guy." Ji Fanyang opened the umbrella and carefully covered Lu Hui, "We still have to buy stereos, I believe you will still have such a good spirit when the time comes."

"Wait, shouldn't we sign the rental contract?" Lu Hui asked suspiciously. He stared at Ji Fanyang's involuntary lips, and raised his voice angrily, "Have you signed it? You know I will definitely choose this?"

"This house has a huge balcony." Ji Fanyang did not hide his pleasure. He enjoys predicting Lu Hui's behavior, especially when his prediction is correct, it is more satisfying than eating ten catties of honey, "We In the first case, you like to stand on the balcony in the house of the deceased with depression, and his house is an open-air balcony, so the possibility of you planning to jump off the building cannot be ruled out, so I chose a large closed balcony."

Lu Hui walked around to the passenger side of the car, opened the door and sat in, fastened his seat belt, and urged Ji Fanyang angrily: "Okay, okay, you are really smart, Uncle Policeman."

Ji Fanyang closed his mouth contentedly, got into the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt and started the car: "Which hotel did you put your luggage in?"

"Fujia Hotel, Wanlin Road." Lu Hui said.

"How many, can the trunk fit?" Ji Fanyang asked.

Lu Hui leaned his elbows by the car window and replied casually: "Not much, two boxes."

"Just two boxes???" Ji Fanyang asked in surprise, "You didn't bring any furniture?"

"You mean those sofa cabinets and beds that fall apart with a kick?" Lu Hui squinted and smiled, "I only brought the necessary documents and some gadgets."

Ji Fanyang was silent. It seemed that he still underestimated how informal Lu Hui was.

Ji Fanyang drove to Fujia Hotel first, put Lu Hui's two small boxes in the trunk, and then they went to Electronic City.

Ji Fanyang stood in the center of the store and supported his forehead. He couldn't even get up to argue with Lu Hui: "The bluetooth speaker can be as high as the calf at most, and it can't be any bigger."

And Lu Hui squatted pitifully next to a huge stereo: "Is this one not good? I can afford it."

"It's not a question of whether you can afford it or not." Ji Fanyang took a deep breath, "I don't want to get demerited for disturbing the people by the police."

The clerk didn't dare to catch his breath, looked at Ji Fanyang, turned his head to look at Lu Hui, and said, "That..."

"Take this!"/"Change!"

Ji Fanyang and Lu Hui said at the same time.

"..." The clerk smiled wryly, "Why don't you unify your opinions first?"

Ji Fanyang walked over and half squatted next to Lu Hui. There was nothing he could do. Lu Hui just couldn't get up. Ji Fanyang and Lu Hui murmured for a while before Lu Hui reluctantly nodded.

Ji Fanyang stood up and smiled at the clerk: "We have chosen, let's take that one." He pointed to another speaker that was about the height of his thigh.

"Okay, okay." The clerk breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the two would fight in the store.

After Lu Hui paid by swiping his card, the two carried the stereo downstairs and placed it horizontally in the back seat of the car.

Ji Fanyang clapped his hands: "Okay, the next stop is Musical Instrument City."

"Yes." Lu Hui got into the car.

——[Time Backtracking]The detention center in the morning——

Ji Fanyang took the lawyer through the document verification and walked into the reception room. Li Yun was sitting inside and waiting. When he saw the person coming, the boy's eyes widened in surprise: "It's you?"

"Well, it seems you still remember me." Ji Fanyang shrugged and introduced the people around him to the boy, "This is Lawyer Wang, who is in charge of your case."

The boy stood up and shook hands with Lawyer Wang. He sat down and asked Ji Fanyang suspiciously: "Isn't the court assigning lawyers?"

"I found one." Ji Fanyang said, "Lawyer Wang is very good, so don't worry too much."

"I will file two lawsuits." Attorney Wang said, "Your father and your case will proceed together."

The young man stared blankly at Ji Fanyang: "My father's... case?"

"Yes." Ji Fanyang nodded, "You deserve the truth."

"I..." The boy's eyes were red, and he covered his mouth with his right hand, "Thank you, thank you."

"Don't just thank me." Ji Fanyang said, "Group Lu also helped a lot." He took the credit for Lu Hui without authorization.

The boy nodded heavily: "I will remember you and Team Leader Lu, you are really good people."

Ji Fanyang smiled and nodded: "Good boy."

——The end of the second volume——

The author has something to say:

The second volume is over.

The third volume is planned to have a small climax///tide, and the third volume will be longer than the second volume...

When writing the outline of the third volume, I borrowed some of the structure of Shenxia 401, not the case, but the structure.
