When Meimei and I went home, it was already very late, and Li Dangdao was waiting for us at the entrance of the corridor.
I looked at Li Dangdang's expression, and suddenly remembered that I promised him to pay the rent yesterday, and my heart skipped a beat, a little flustered. I walked over like a sinner, and he glanced at Meimei: "Go up and rest first."
On the way back, Meimei seemed to have lost her soul. She didn't say a word, and it is still the same now. She went upstairs without looking up at Li Dangdang.
I rubbed against Meimei and walked upstairs, just took two steps...
"Su Xiaoxin."
Just like the roll call by the head teacher in high school, I felt my skin tighten.
I really wanted to selectively pretend to be deaf, but the gaze behind me was too cold for me to ignore, so I turned to look at Li Dangdang.
"Come here." He turned around and led me into his room.
I followed Li Dangdang into his room, one household on the first floor. Although I pass by his door every day, I have never entered his room. I walked to the door and glanced inside the room. Unlike Li Peipan's room, which was in chaos as if it had been in a war, Li Dangdang's room was surprisingly... normal.
Sofa coffee table, dining table and bookcase, simple and concise decoration, no superfluous styles, but it is not like Wei Wuchang, everything is neatly stored, everything looks so institutionalized.
In his room, small things are scattered. There is a shirt that has not been washed on the sofa, and there is a half glass of water on the table. The whole room is full of life...
Although the big black coffin inside can still be seen through the bedroom door... But for a non-human being, his room is considered normal rather than normal.
"Close the door."
Li Dangdang was already wearing slippers. He walked into the room and didn't change his shoes. Instead, he took a pair of slippers for me from the shoe cabinet and put them in front of me.
Seeing Li Dangdang bent down in front of me to put down his slippers, I was a little taken aback.
This...in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, sharing a room...the words "close the door" seem a bit ambiguous.
"Yes...you can talk here if you have anything!" I held the door open like a nail, and stared at Li Dangdang with the expression of a strong man breaking his wrist. Shameful."
Li Dangdang straightened up, staring at me with slender eyes behind gold-rimmed glasses, as if staring at a mentally retarded person, full of disgust.
"Turn it off if you tell me, talk nonsense." A black figure suddenly jumped out of the room, jumped onto my arm, and gave me a kick on my hand. I was startled, and subconsciously withdrew my hand, The black shadow circled around my neck, and with a "clang" of its tail, it closed the door behind me.
The black dog jumped off my shoulders, squatted at Li Dangdang's feet, licked its paws, and opened its mouth in Chongqing dialect: "It's your honor to come to my master's house, you're still moaning."
I gritted my teeth, picked up the slippers on the ground, and smashed the head of the black dog. It tilted its head and managed to avoid it. I put on a slipper, lifted one foot, and jumped into Li's living room. After putting on the slipper, he glared at the black dog that jumped onto Li Dangdang's shoulder: "Sooner or later, I will send you to Guangdong to make a pot of dragon and tiger fights!"
The black dog stuck out its tongue at me very much.
Li Dangdang ignored the bickering between me and the black dog, brushed my shoulder, went to sit on the sofa, put one arm on the back of the sofa, held the water glass in the other hand, and took a sip. He raised Erlang's legs. Although he was wearing pajamas, his posture was very majestic.
And it's such a majestic posture... Inexplicably, I have an urge to sit in his outstretched arms.
I shook off this strange thought in my head: "What's the matter? Oh..." I remembered, and then touched in my pocket, "I can pay this month's rent, what I owed before... um... the situation is different Change."
Li Dangdang put down the water glass, calmly: "I didn't ask you to rent it." He raised his eyes and looked at me, "You and Yu Meimei went out today to find the chef of the Japanese grocery store
I nod.
"Is there any confirmation?"
I pondered for a while: "It's strange, Meimei said before listening to the singing that you can tell if the person is a mermaid, but Meimei heard him sing and said he was not, and after Meimei sang, the man was waiting for Meimei at the door , and there are many clues pointing to the person is A Xu, he seems to be surnamed Xu, the shell ornaments on the key and Meimei's underwear are the same kind of shell... "
"Wow." Black Dog interjected, "It's so interesting."
I saw Li Dangdang: "Can you make him shut up first?"
Li Dangdang: "Shut up."
The black dog's mouth seemed to be stuck with strong glue suddenly, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't open it. It rolled back and forth on the ground holding its mouth. Seeing it so uncomfortable, I instantly felt relieved.
"Looking at Meimei's appearance today, I've probably accepted this matter out of ten. That person should be A Xu, but it's just strange. A Xu was injured so badly at the time, how did he survive?"
Li Dangdang pushed down his glasses, and listened to me in silence, "That Ah Xu seems to have another 'Meimei' by his side now."
"oh?"
"Before I was about to leave, I saw Ah Xu on the phone with a person named 'Baby Meimei'." I sighed, "So Meimei came back in such a distraught way. The boy I liked finally came back to life, but fell in love with another one person."
Li Dangdang continued to ponder for a moment: "Maybe it's not that boy."
I was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Li Dangdang took out a photo from the book on the coffee table. The photo seemed to be taken at night, with dim light and a lot of noise, which made the picture very blurry. The scene in the photo seems to be by the river. There seems to be a person by the river, climbing up the rocks on the river bank. A beam of engineering lighting hits his head, which just illuminates his lower body. It is a shining light. fishtail.
"Chongqing Inhuman Committee recently bought a photo from a passer-by. It seems that a mermaid appeared in Chongqing. This matter has just been suppressed. During the follow-up investigation, the investigator was injured by this mermaid, and the injury was not serious. This mermaid has a violent temper and a vicious attack, and no one has seen him since. The committee has issued a wanted warrant, Class B."
I stared blankly at the photo in my hand, only to feel that the blurred facial features were very similar to the head chef of the Japanese grocery store.
The mood is violent, the attack is fierce...
"What do you mean..." I was shocked while holding the photo, "The chef of that Japanese restaurant could still be A Ji?"
Li Dangdang took another sip of water: "So I asked you to confirm it?" He said, "If it is really a mermaid, he has no identity registration in our committee, but he has to go to the Chongqing African Committee. If he is a wanted mermaid , and there is still a bail fee that he needs to pay."
"I have to talk to Meimei about this."
Li Dangdang asked me: "Are you sure?"
I thought for a while and nodded: "It's a bit cruel to say, but if it wasn't for A Xu, maybe she wouldn't be so sad and entangled. If it was A Xu, no matter what it was, I think Meimei would definitely hope that she could help A Xu , to remind him to register his identity, so that he can look at him in a legitimate way."
"Well, then you go."
"Okay." I turned and left, and when I opened the door, I suddenly paused, and I turned to look at Li Dangdang who was still sitting on the sofa, "You called me into your room today just to tell me about this ?”
"Um."
"Why didn't you just tell Meimei directly?"
Li Dangdang glanced at me: "You ask so many questions, do you want to stay in my room for a while?"
"Who...who wants to stay in your room longer!" I pushed the door and went out. After closing the door of Li Dangdang, I stood at the door for a while, thinking that this vampire is really shameless, as if... I have something to think about him.
I took two steps upstairs angrily, and suddenly thought of what I hadn't answered just now.
Li ran away from Meimei, and brought me up alone to talk about this matter... Could it be that he felt that he was used to teasing people and didn't know how to treat injured people, so he was asking for my opinion
I turned around and took a look downstairs: "What an awkward and arrogant vampire..."
However, I seem to vaguely feel that there really is something called tenderness in this vampire's heart.
I knocked on Meimei's door and told Meimei about the mermaid by the river. After hearing this, Meimei didn't react very much.
"I don't know about the wanted mermaid, but the one in the Japanese grocery store is definitely not Ah Ji."
I asked Meimei, "How are you sure?"
"When I first met, that face was enough to shock me, and the fact that Ash was dead was too deeply rooted in my heart, so I thought he was A Ji. But after I calmed down and observed every day, that was not true. the same."
Meimei said: "Ah Ji is often beaten, and will be punished because of Ash's fault, so he hates everyone, the pirate couple, and me, and he is also very Ash, he will not fall because there are children in the store. Instead of giving candy to children, he would not smile so gently to his colleagues. And... His wrists have been handcuffed for too many years, the skin on his wrists is damaged and scabbed, and the wound marks will always be on his wrists On it, like a tattoo that can never be washed off. The chef doesn't have any... "
"That means… "
"Well, I'm sure it's Ash." Meimei smiled when she said this, "He came back to life, Xiaoxin, you know, he came back to life, as long as you know this, it's enough to make you feel better." I am happy. It seems that the stone that has been pressed in my heart for many years has finally been removed. Although he likes other girls, although he does not know me standing in front of him, but these are not important. "
I looked at Meimei and watched her tears fall to the ground when she said the three words "not important".
"These are not important, really not important."
I hugged Meimei and patted her on the back. Just as I was about to comfort her, she suddenly pushed me away and said, "I want to lose weight."
"ah?"
She stared at me with burning eyes: "Xiaoxin, I want to lose weight, I want to return to my previous self. I want to lose weight."
Although Meimei has said this sentence a hundred times before, but this time, I choose to believe her.
"Okay!" I patted my chest, "Come on! Let's go together!"
