Early the next morning, at five o'clock in the morning, I woke up, not because I wanted to lose weight, but because Li Dangdang urged me to rent.
"Don't question my professional ethics! As soon as the manuscript fee arrives tomorrow, I will pay off all the rent owed immediately! Turn over and become a dignified tenant!"
My voice was turned into an alarm clock, hung on a clothes rail in my bedroom window, and it rang exactly at five o'clock in the morning.
"As soon as the manuscript fee arrives tomorrow, I will pay off all the rent owed immediately! Turn around and become a dignified tenant."
I was terrified by this voice in the quilt, opened my eyes, poked my head out of the quilt, and turned my head in a daze, struggling to see that Li Dangdang's mobile phone was in a mobile phone case, hanging on the clothes rail. The screen flickered, tirelessly repeating my flag of that night.
"Turn over and be a dignified tenant!"
"ah… "
You, Li Dangdang, really dare to play like this! Childish!
I gritted my teeth with hatred, let the alarm clock ring for a while, and then it stopped by itself. I buried my head in the pillow, and planned to continue to sleep regardless. After all, I didn’t go to bed until 2:30 last night because of my habit of staying up late, and arrived at 5:00 in the morning. Nine is the absolute prime time for me to sleep.
“Don’t question my professional ethics!…”
"Oh shit!"
I didn't get up, and I didn't scold anyone. I was just woken up by the scolding. I raised my head from the pillow and saw a long-armed and long-legged beauty wearing a pair of SpongeBob SquarePants briefs and a small sling. In a terrifying posture like a spiderman, he climbed from the next window sill to the window sill on my side.
Me: "Accompany Li..."
Li Peipei glared at me, hung it outside the window, viciously tore Li Dangdang's cell phone off my clothes rail, ignored me, turned off the alarm clock first, and then turned off the alarm clock angrily. The phone was dropped on my bed.
"Turn off your own alarm clock! Dad just fell asleep when he came back from work. He's very tired, okay?"
"It's not my alarm clock..." I defended myself. By the way, kindly remind, "When climbing high, you should wear some pants..."
"Pants aren't pants. They're all crotch protectors, you look down on them!" She retorted to me, obviously didn't want to hear anything else from me, and then crawled back out of the window muttering to herself.
The height of the eight-storey building, the dilapidated old building, the loose old clothes pole... She climbed the window like a stroll in the courtyard, turned off the alarm clock for me, and left.
To be honest, I really admire their non-human physical characteristics, but after thinking about it, I also admire my calm temperament now.
I turned over in the bed, intending to continue my golden sleep, but just as I lay down, there was a knock on the door.
"Xiaoxin, Xiaoxin, let's go for a morning run!"
I lifted the quilt and looked at the ceiling blankly. The light pollution makes the whole city almost dark at night, even in the old houses to be demolished.
I sighed, got out of bed resignedly, yawned and opened the door for Meimei.
Meimei at the door was dressed in sports attire. Although her clothes were a bit old, she looked very professional. She asked me excitedly, "How is it?" It seemed that life suddenly had a purpose, and Meimei's eyes were brighter than before.
"Very well, wait for me to wash up."
I opened the closet and wanted to go out wearing sportswear like Meimei, but I found sadly that I had the most pajamas in my closet. After picking and choosing for a long time, I finally chose a loose T-shirt and sports pants from college, and wore them. With a pair of canvas shoes, I went out for a run with Meimei.
I didn't check the route, but Meimei's route was very clear, heading all the way to the Japanese grocery store on Times Paradise Street.
I tried to communicate with her: "Meimei... let's run somewhere with better air, this side is full of big roads." As I spoke, the morning bus passed by me, leaving exhaust fumes all the way.
"Big road?" Meimei turned a blind eye, "Isn't there greenery here?"
"..."
I secretly hate! It should have occurred to him earlier that when talking about losing weight, this mermaid is actually Xiang Wangwujian!
I ran and stopped with Meimei for more than an hour...
Mainly Meimei was running, and I was in charge of calling to stop...
Yes, I admit that I am a weak chicken in sports, but I always thought Meimei was too! I really have never seen Meimei's footsteps so relaxed and happy, completely different from the previous sluggish and lazy steps.
I remember when I first moved into the residential building, I asked Meimei whether it was really painful to walk after the mermaid landed. At that time, Meimei told me that she rarely had contact with other mermaids, so she asked others carefully, but she walked on her own. It will hurt, sometimes mild and sometimes severe, she vaguely told me that it was because the tail was not perfect when it was cut.
In the past, I didn’t know what kind of process there was in the phrase “cut incompletely”, so I couldn’t imagine her pain, but now that I know the process, I may still not be able to understand her pain in detail, after all, the pain does not belong to me. body, and I at least know that her pain is enough to make my heart ache.
But she is so brisk now.
although…
The two of us finally arrived at Times Paradise Street. At seven or eight o’clock, there were quite a lot of pedestrians on the road, almost all of them were office workers in a hurry, and the shopping mall hadn’t opened yet, and the Japanese grocery store was naturally not open either.
Meimei bought a bottle of mineral water for me who was sitting on the side of the road like a dead dog.
I unscrewed the cap of the bottle, drank a few big gulps before panting.
"Meimei, I don't think this kind of work is suitable for me." I supported my little heart, "Actually, I think I was the life of a vampire, accidentally cast into the womb of a mortal, running on the side of the road in the morning, yes For me, it's kind of... overloaded."
Meimei looked at me for a long time: "Then let's run tomorrow afternoon."
I held the hand of the water bottle, and my physical reaction was a little trembling.
"Are you still running this way?"
"Still running this way."
My throat felt dry again. You raised your head and drank a big sip of water, and was about to discuss with Meimei again, when suddenly, I saw Meimei's eyes light up. I followed her gaze in that direction.
It's amazing, in Chongqing, a 3D magic city, even the bicycle lanes are not planned on the road at all, and some people dare to ride bicycles to work.
This chef can be said to be very prestigious.
But I also have to admit that the chef's mountain bike is very handsome, and the person is quite nice, it can be called a beautiful scenery on the road.
Meimei's eyes followed him all the time. As if he had sensed something, the chef had just passed the traffic light ahead, and his eyes swept towards Meimei. I saw Meimei straighten her body immediately, holding her belly tightly.
The head of the chef's car turned slightly, and almost hit the pedestrian next to him. He put his long legs, touched the ground, stood firm, and met Meimei's eyes.
I could see their eyes sticking together through the sea of people.
Then the chef retracted his legs, stepped on the bicycle again, and rode towards Meimei.
Meimei's fingertips trembled slightly, the corners of her mouth twitched, and finally a smile appeared, but the chef rode over without slowing down, and a gust of wind blew Meimei's hair on her forehead...
Passed by.
He didn't say a word. The sound of the bicycle chain churning was so prominent in the city full of engines and footsteps. The man continued to move forward without any hesitation. The only thing that was stagnant was the bright light in Meimei's eyes.
There is still a little water in my mineral water bottle. I handed it to Meimei to interrupt the complicated thoughts she might have.
"Drink some water."
She took it in a daze, and finished drinking the water as if she had obeyed an order.
I dragged Meimei back home, and on the way back, she was like a walking dead, she stopped laughing, complaining about me, or even saying a word.
After sending her home, I asked her at the door, "Are you still going for a run tomorrow?"
Meimei stood for a while. In the end, I still nodded: "Go." She looked up at me, and was about to say something, I hugged her: "Then let's go tomorrow afternoon, at three o'clock."
Meimei didn't say a word, I felt her eyes dawdling on my shoulder. She lowered her head: "Xiaoxin, go back and rest well." She pushed me away and entered the room by herself.
I looked at the closed door and sighed slightly. Just as I turned my head, I suddenly heard a "click" from the opposite door, and a hunchbacked white-haired old man came out of the opposite door.
"Ah..." I was stunned for a moment, this is the first time I saw him, a time traveler... Grandfather of All Things Difficulty, I heard that he has traveled back and forth in various time and space before, and he has never been seen.
"Hello." I greeted him, but he seemed a little unhappy, and glanced at me with a very serious expression. I was stunned by his stare, and I was extremely confused.
I... probably haven't had time to do anything to offend him, have I
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in his room. I jumped over him and looked into the room. In the dark room, the windows were closed tightly and there was no light at all. It seemed that someone moved around inside, but because it was too dark, I Didn't see it clearly, and in the next moment, Wan Shi Nan immediately closed the door.
There was a "bang", as if the mood was extremely bad.
He gave me a hard look, and went downstairs hunched over.
I'm at a loss. Before... I haven't heard that the time traveler is such a difficult old man to deal with... And in his room... I was a little curious, but I was too embarrassed to stick to the door, so I went upstairs by myself, planning to ask later Li Peipei or Li Dangdang.
I turned and went upstairs, and suddenly, I heard a very small "click".
I stopped walking up the stairs, turned my head slightly, and glanced back.
Everything is difficult. The door that had just been closed firmly opened a crack when I turned around. There was silence in the dark crack of the door. , as if there are many invisible eyes, peeping at me in the dark, observing me...
I couldn't help stepping back, but I tripped over the stairs and sat down. A strong arm suddenly grabbed my back, supporting me like a pillar.
The temperature of the palm is slightly cool that I don't know that I am already familiar with.
I turned to look at him.
Li Dangdang also looked at me condescendingly.
"What's wrong?"
