Xiang Nuan felt that there was no way to talk today. She was blushing and didn't know what to say, when she heard another person's voice from the other end of the phone, the voice was a little distant: "First banquet, the elevator is out of power, you go downstairs to pick up takeaway."
Lin Chuyan replied to the man, "Don't you have long legs?"
"I'm dumped!"
Xiang Nuan: "..."
Her hearing was very keen, and she recognized that it was Brother Hu's voice. So... brother Hu lost his love
Lin Chuyan ran all the way to Juyuan City to comfort the broken-hearted Brother Hu
After a while, Xiang Nuan heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and she knew that it was Lin Chuyan who had gone out. She gossiped and asked him, "Brother Hu is broken in love?"
Lin Chuyan didn't hold back on her, and replied: "To be exact, it's his girlfriend who lost contact."
"what?"
"His girlfriend can't be contacted. It's been several days. His mobile phone has been shut down, and no one has responded to his WeChat and QQ messages. It's like disappearing from the world."
Xiang Nuan was stunned for a moment, and asked, "How can this be considered a broken relationship? Is this considered missing? Why didn't you call the police? What if something happens to her..."
"The possibility of falling out of love is relatively high."
"Why do you say that?"
"The girl named Ke Ke borrowed a large sum of money from Brother Hu before she disappeared. The day after the money arrived, she disappeared." Lin Chuyan explained to her while going down the stairs. His rhythmic footsteps echoed in the empty stairwell.
Xiang Nuan finally understood, "Is this because you met a liar? Then you have to call the police..."
She heard Lin Chuyan sighed softly, and then he said: "I feel that he can't face this matter for the time being. If he really calls the police, then the police will catch Ke Ke and prove that Ke Ke is indeed a liar... he The stimulus will only be greater."
"What now?"
"Let him take it easy first."
"Oh, Brother Hu is so pitiful." Xiang Nuan felt sorry for Brother Hu. It's so rare for such a boy with good game skills and dedication, but he met a liar.
Lin Chuyan emphasized at the end: "Don't tell Shen Zemu."
…
Lin Chuyan picked up the takeaway, and saw several express delivery trucks parked at the gate of the community. Squatting on the side of the blind alley were two courier boys, one from SF Express and the other from YTO, eating boxed lunches. Brother SF Express also picked up a chopstick dish for Brother Yuantong, as if they were very close to each other.
Lin Chuyan asked SF Express: "Is there any express delivery from Lin Chuyan?"
"What building is it?"
"number 6."
"It seems to be there, let me take a look." Brother SF Express put down the lunch box, took out the key to open the cargo box, looked for it, and said, "Two."
"En." Lin Chuyan responded, turned around and left.
The courier boy was dumbfounded: "Hey, don't you want to take it?"
"Didn't you send it to your door?"
"Big brother, have pity on me, the elevator is out of power today."
Lin Chuyan gave the little brother 20 yuan and asked him to carry the two boxes up to the fifth floor.
Chen Yinghu hadn't gone out for several days, and he was still wearing pajamas, looking sluggish. When he saw Lin Chuyan brought back two boxes, he was a little curious, and wandered around the boxes with his hands in his pockets, acting like an old man looking for opportunities to touch porcelain by the side of the road.
After the courier brother left, Chen Yinghu asked Lin Chuyan: "What is this?"
"wood."
"What do you buy wood for?"
"Make a house."
"...???" Chen Yinghu looked puzzled and didn't know what to say.
Lin Chuyan didn't explain too much, and had lunch with Chen Yinghu. Chen Yinghu had no appetite, and Lin Chuyan was worried about wasting food, so he didn't order too much. He only ordered a bowl of millet porridge for Chen Yinghu, and he ordered a luxurious bento of chicken wings + prawns + fish ball soup for himself.
Chen Yinghu couldn't eat after a few mouthfuls.
Lin Chuyan said: "I advise you to eat more. One day when she comes back and sees you skinny, she probably won't want you."
"Will she ever come back..."
"Maybe."
Chen Yinghu looked at him silently.
Lin Chuyan said: "When encountering this kind of thing, many people's first reaction is a liar, but in fact, starting from rigorous logic, there are many other possibilities."
"Oh?"
"Maybe she has some unavoidable difficulties, such as not being able to face you without paying the money, such as being terminally ill and not wanting to drag you down, such as finding out that she is your long-lost sister, such as losing her memory in a sudden car accident...you have to give her time. Restore memory."
"Are you acting in a TV series..."
"Why do you think TV dramas are edited like that? Because it happened in reality."
Chen Yinghu was stunned by what he said. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "I will pay back your money."
Lin Chuyan was shaving off the bones of the chicken wings with chopsticks, when he heard what he said, he replied "no hurry".
Chen Yinghu said again: "Thank you for the first banquet."
"You're welcome, you're still making the floor today."
"… Depend on!"
Chen Yinghu doesn't like listening to his parents nagging at home, so now he rents a one-bedroom apartment alone. Lin Chuyan stayed at Chen Yinghu's place to save hotel expenses, but he didn't want to share the same bed with others. Chen Yinghu slept on the sofa on the first day, but the sofa was too small, and he almost fell asleep, so he had to sleep on the floor the next day.
It was agreed that one person would take turns playing the floor every day, but when it was Lin Chuyan's turn, he suddenly cheated.
Chen Yinghu looked at Lin Chuyan pitifully: "Chuyan, the ground is cold."
"That's right," Lin Chuyan softened, "How about—"
"Um?"
"I'll buy you a moisture-proof pad."
"... thank you for making such a big concession."
Lin Chuyan bought a moisture-proof pad online, and then said to Chen Yinghu: "This moisture-proof pad is for you, so you have to use it every day."
"I'm broken in love and you treat me like this, are you still human..."
"You have been in love at least once, but I haven't. Who is more pitiful?"
Chen Yinghu opened his mouth, this, it's really hard to say who is more pitiful.
—
After lunch, Lin Chuyan unpacked the courier. There were two boxes, one of which was made of beautifully textured cherry wood, and the other was filled with tools.
Chen Yinghu squatted beside him, watching Lin Chuyan start measuring, sawing, and planing wood.
Don't be too skillful.
Chen Yinghu was stunned, and said, "So your father is a carpenter?"
Lin Chuyan lowered his head to plan the sawdust, and replied without raising his head, "No."
"Then who did you learn from?"
"Self-study."
"What on earth are you going to do?"
"Make a house."
"What house?"
Lin Chuyan took the phone and called up a rendering to show him.
It was a very beautiful two-storey building with a complete structure and a small garden.
Chen Yinghu gave him a "tsk", returned the phone to him, and asked, "You designed this yourself?"
"Um."
"What are you tinkering with? Like a big girl."
"Give it away."
"To whom?"
Lin Chuyan held the corner of her lips, her gaze became gentle: "Xiang Nuan."
Chen Yinghu felt that he was too cheap, so why ask these things, okay? After being shown a face, now he feels a special pain in his heart.
—
Lin Chuyan lived in Chen Yinghu's place for a week, and Chen Yinghu's condition gradually improved, and he was not as scary as before.
And Lin Chuyan also successfully completed the small house. He found some clean small stones and put them in the garden of the wooden house, and sowed some grass seeds.
After finishing the small house, Lin Chuyan made a wooden fish for Chen Yinghu with some scraps left over.
"What do you mean!" Chen Yinghu was upset, "Do you want to persuade me to become a monk?"
Lin Chuyan then modified the wooden fish, turned it upside down and dug a hole, and it became a wooden bowl; the hammer used to knock the wooden fish was dug casually, and changed into a small spoon for eating.
This adaptability... Chen Yinghu really convinced him.
"I'm leaving," Lin Chuyan said, "School starts today."
Chen Yinghu nodded and said, "I'll see you off."
He was finally willing to go out.
The two stayed at the airport for a long time, because Lin Chuyan's plane was delayed, and they had an unforgettable dinner at the airport.
The dinner was memorable because it was so salty.
Lin Chuyan's plane landed at Nanshan Airport at around nine o'clock in the evening. He took a taxi and went straight to the Yuanchi campus.
—
It was already half past ten when Xiang Nuan received a call from Lin Chuyan.
"Hello, Lin Chuyan." Xiang Nuan felt a little aggrieved after calling out the name. Ever since he went to comfort Brother Hu, Lin Chuyan didn't contact her very much, and he didn't play games, as if he was deliberately indifferent to him.
She once dreamed that Lin Chuyan said that the person she really liked was Brother Hu, and she woke up with fright.
Lin Chuyan: "Come out." Two simple and neat words.
Xiang Nuan was puzzled: "Huh?"
"I'm downstairs with you."
Xiang Nuan ran to the balcony and looked down, and saw him at a glance. His shadow was drawn long by the street lamps in the distance, and he was looking up with his handsome little white face at the moment, as if he saw her.
Xiang Nuan felt warm, put on a down jacket over his pajamas, pulled on his slippers and ran downstairs.
When she went downstairs and saw him, she suddenly slowed down and walked towards him step by step. He looked dusty, with a suitcase beside him and a box in his hand.
Lin Chuyan watched her walking towards him, her face became clearer and clearer, and there was an unspeakable throbbing in his heart.
When he got closer, he sized her up, looking from top to bottom, passing over her down jacket and pajama pants with pink hearts printed on them, and finally stopped at her bare slender ankles.
"No money for socks?" he asked.
"No..." Xiang Nuan was embarrassed. After he reminded her, she realized that her ankles were a little cold. She asked him, "Lin Chuyan, what's the matter with you so late?" My heart beats faster, woo woo, it's hopeless.
Lin Chuyan handed her a boxy box.
The box is so big, bigger than a birthday cake, wrapped in gift paper, I don't know what's inside.
"What is this?" Xiang Nuan took the box and asked.
"What you want."
"What do I want?"
"See for yourself."
Xiang Nuan hugged the box in her arms, trying to peel off the wrapping paper, but unfortunately the box was too big, she had to hold it with both hands, and couldn't spare her hands to unpack it.
Lin Chuyan glanced at her ankle again, he felt cold for her. So he said, "Take it back to the dormitory."
"Oh, thanks."
"Remember to call me tomorrow. Tell me about your experience."
"what?"
Xiang Nuan asked with a question mark on his forehead, but he turned around gracefully, carrying the luggage in one hand, and waved his back to her with the other hand as farewell.
She carried the box back to the dormitory, and peeled off the tight packaging layer by layer, like peeling an onion. Peel it to the end, and finally see the innermost thing.
It was a beautiful wooden house.
Like an ordinary house scaled to scale, it is very realistic. Roofs, doors and windows, furniture, gardens...everywhere is real.
Xiang Nuan held her face in her hands, her little heart was beating wildly.
Min Lili passed by and saw a small house on her table, he was a little surprised: "Hey, it's so beautiful, where did it come from?" As he said that, he reached out his hand to touch it.
Xiang Nuan pushed her paw away, "Don't touch, don't touch."
"Hey, Nuannuan, what's your expression? Why are you blushing at this house? You're so hungry, what picture are you imagining?"
Xiang Nuan gently pushed her: "Go away, go away, what do children know?"
Min Lili exaggeratedly said "Hey", "What do I not understand? I am the one who has read Xiao Huangwen, have you read it?"
"I beg you, don't say such things in such a proud tone..."
Min Lili was pushed away, Xiang Nuan blushed and continued admiring her little house.
She felt that Lin Chuyan's hands were too coincidental, too coincidental for a boy. She pushed open the small window, touched the small bed, small table and small chair, and then played with the pillars and the fence. The desk lamp on her desk is very bright. In contrast, the small house is a bit dark.
If only the lights in the room could be on, she thought.
Xiang Nuan groped around on the small house, and when she reached the bottom, she found a small movable board there. She removed the board and saw three AA batteries.
Huh huh
If there is a battery, it means that these lights can be turned on, but where is the switch...
She searched for a while, and finally pushed open the door of the living room on the first floor, and the lights in the house immediately turned on.
The light is orange, light and gentle, adding some human touch to the small house.
Xiang Nuan turned off the desk lamp, and the light in the small house became much brighter.
Also much prettier.
She was lying prone on the table, her chin resting on her arm, smiling.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the room, the voice was pure, gentle, with a slight smile: "I like you."
Xiang Nuan was taken aback.
Min Lili and the other two roommates were also shocked.
Min Lili: "Who? Who is talking?! Why is there a man in our dormitory?!"
Xiang Nuan understood immediately.
She closed the living room door of the Little House, and the lights went out; then she opened it, and the lights came on again.
After a while, that voice sounded again, it was still so pure and gentle: "I like you."
Xiang Nuan felt her cheeks were hot, and her heart was also hot. She held her face in her hands, buried her head, and giggled to herself.
