This is the eighteenth day of sharing the apartment.
It was also the first time that Jiang Xingzhou met his roommate after he had settled all matters and officially moved in.
In the living room.
There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
Just now, he shouted to his mother who was nagging him to find a girlfriend on the phone: "Oh, Mom—"
At the same time, along with his shout of "Mom", his roommate who was looking for something in the refrigerator also shouted: "Mom—"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Even the tone of voice is exactly the same.
However, the other voice sounded very soft, and it was a female voice.
Jiang Xingzhou's heart trembled, and he swallowed back the remaining half of his complaint. He looked in the direction of the voice and happened to meet Song Ci's eyes when she turned back.
The girl's bright eyes were full of confusion, and there was a hint of shock on her face as she looked at him. All in all, she looked a little dazed, which made her look extremely cute.
Jiang Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, and his mother on the other end of the phone obviously heard Song Ci calling "Mom". Before he could respond, his mother responded with a puzzled and uncertain tone: "...Huh?"
She! Said!
Jiang Xingzhou was completely terrified. Tong Kong subconsciously zoomed in and almost dropped the phone. He hurriedly asked Song Ci for confirmation, not sure whether she had heard what her mother said.
At this time, Song Ci actually began to say: "No, Mom, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think..."
As she spoke, she closed the refrigerator door. Jiang Xingzhou then realized that she was also on the phone and was frantically explaining things to him.
He felt relieved and smiled subconsciously. It turned out that they were both wanderers in the world and their situations were no better than the other's.
However, what he never expected was that his mother heard Song Ci's explanation to her own mother and thought it was an explanation to her.
Just like that, the two of them were still communicating with each other across the air.
"Don't be afraid, my daughter. Don't be anxious. Talk slowly. Mom is not an unenlightened person and will not interfere too much..."
Jiang Xingzhou was so scared that he quickly covered the receiver and scolded in a low voice: "Mom, what are you doing!"
After saying that, he looked at Song Ci not far away with a slightly apologetic look, but the other party had already turned around and walked back into the house tiredly, still explaining the misunderstanding just now.
Jiang Xingzhou also turned around awkwardly and retreated back to his room.
"No, mom, what did you just say? You called yourself mom, do you know her? And you said those nonsense, which made me so embarrassed."
Jiang Xingzhou didn't dare to recall the suffocating atmosphere just now. His mother was really crazy about him finding a wife. She actually chatted with Song Ci through the air. The key point was that all the words matched.
After a few seconds of silence, my mother's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "That wasn't your girlfriend just now?"
"Of course not. Think about it, I just told you that I can't stand the pain of love, and then a girlfriend suddenly appears and calls you mom. Is this possible?" Jiang Xingzhou was extremely tired.
He is less than 23 years old, and just graduated from college half a month ago, but he is already being urged to get married. How will he live the rest of his life
"Oh, I thought you didn't want to give the girl a name when you were in love, so she came to me to complain."
Jiang Xingzhou remained silent. What kind of logic is this
Does he look like a scumbag
"Mom, I think our family doesn't have the scumbag gene, right?"
“There is no guarantee that there are no genetic mutations.”
"… "
Jiang Xingzhou chose to skip this topic.
"Okay, Mom. Just enjoy your meal. I'm going to eat too." He said as he exited the interface, switched to the food delivery platform, and prepared to order takeout.
"Okay then," the man on the other side paused and said, "Eat less takeout. It's not like you can't eat the food in the staff cafeteria. Just stop ordering takeout all the time."
Jiang Xingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he felt guilty for a moment, so he said perfunctorily, "I know, I know. I'll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, I was shocked to find myself in a cold sweat.
Half a month after graduation, he still didn't dare tell his family that he didn't find a job. Instead, he stayed in a rented house and made a living by editing videos, and even regarded this as his career.
Therefore, the staff restaurant and so on that his mother mentioned were all excuses he made up before. He couldn't cook and he even treated the food delivery app as his own kitchen.
At the same time, Jiang Xingzhou was also very glad that his mother did not continue to ask about Song Ci.
In fact, it was purely accidental that he and Song Ci shared the house.
His original roommate was another man, but just when they had finalized the details and were about to pay, the man ran away. Five thousand yuan a month in rent was indeed too expensive for Jiang Xingzhou, a recent graduate.
Even though he had tens of thousands of yuan in savings from editing, five thousand yuan was still not a small sum.
At this time, the landlord pointed out that one of the tenants in his other house had also run away, so Jiang Xingzhou and Song Ci started living together.
I can only say it's very eye-catching.
After all, there are differences between men and women. In the past twenty days, the two of them have not even appeared in the living room at the same time, and have hardly ever met each other. The contact information they added at the beginning has long been gathering dust in the list.
Until just now, he was on the phone and didn't hear any noise outside, so he came out directly and bumped into Song Ci who was also on the phone, breaking the peace of the past ten days.
Jiang Xingzhou rubbed his hair irritably, feeling an indescribable sense of anxiety in his heart.
Forget it, I'd better work hard to achieve some results and confront my family as soon as possible.
Sighing, Jiang Xingzhou casually ordered a rice bowl and stopped thinking about those things.
After listening to the noise outside the door, Jiang Xingzhou felt relieved as Song Ci didn't seem to come out.
He quickly slipped out and went to the refrigerator to get an ice cream to cool down.
If he were to confront Song Ci again at this moment, he really wouldn't know what to say. The situation just now was too embarrassing.
Even though Song Ci probably didn't hear what his mother said, the two "Mom" they said in unison were enough to make them both embarrassed.
At this time, the shortcomings of the female roommate were revealed again.
If it's a male roommate, he can just joke with the other person, and the matter will pass after a laugh. It may even become a joke between the two of them in the future, and they can bring it up from time to time to have fun.
But unfortunately, Song Ci is a woman.
He can't.
We hadn't even spoken a few words before, and suddenly he came up to her and started joking with her. It was a bit scary no matter how you look at it.
Jiang Xingzhou took a big bite of the ice cream and calmed down. No, no, he would just continue to be a quiet roommate and let the matter go.
After finishing the ice cream in a few bites, Jiang Xingzhou sat down at the desk again, looking at the background interface of Bilibili on the computer screen. He clicked refresh, and then clicked into the comment section of the latest video he had posted a few minutes ago to read the feedback.
I wonder if that person came to comment today.
