The two people's eyes met in the air. Qi Yan looked at Xiao Yi blankly, with 'Why did I meet this person again' written all over his face.
Raising his eyebrows with interest, Xiao Yi curled his lips slightly: "We meet again, neighbor."
Hearing his voice, Qi Yan nodded casually, then turned and left.
Xiao Yi: "..." Are you being disliked again? !
Sighing helplessly, Xiao Yi continued to choose suitable toiletries and daily necessities for himself.
The reason for moving to this apartment is simple: the topography, floors, and housing prices are all to his liking. Because I want to be independent, I will be more cautious about money and can no longer spend as much as I did before.
Financial management is the first thing Xiao Yi does after moving here.
There are only two residents on each floor of the apartment, one has two bedrooms and two living rooms, and the other has one bedroom and one living room. He didn't like particularly noisy neighbors. He remembered that when the manager introduced this place to him, he made sure that one of the residents on the 21st floor was a teenager who never left the house.
Xiao Yi thought he would never meet this 'gloomy' neighbor, but he never expected that he would bump into him on the first day.
But this neighbor was more interesting than he thought. At least for now, the first impression in the elevator was unreliable.
[Xiao Yi's favorability towards Qi Yan +5, current favorability: 5]
After selecting the daily necessities, Xiao Yi went to settle the accounts, and saw a cute neighbor in front of him pushing a shopping cart and holding a shopping basket in his hand, both of which were full.
After a quick glance, it was all... food.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi silently looked at the size of his cute neighbor, and then looked at his head from his collarbone. He turned his head away, and the faintly twitching corners of his mouth showed that he was suppressing a smile.
—You can eat so much but still haven’t grown taller because all you eat is junk food!
As if sensing his smile, Qi Yan, who was queuing in front, quickly turned his head and saw Xiao Yi turning away to suppress a smile.
Qi Yan: convex!
Xiao Yi lowered his head and saw his cute neighbor waiting for him. His milky white skin and his glaring expression made him look a bit like a coquettish person.
Surprised by his own thoughts, Xiao Yi coughed lightly, pointed to the empty cashier in front of him, and said, "It's your turn."
Qi Yan glared at him, pushed the cart and carried the basket, and took out everything inside under the cashier's apocalyptic gaze.
The cashier's hands moved, as if he couldn't handle the small mountain of food.
-boss! There is a young man here who wants to take over the entire supermarket!
Fortunately, the cashier was also experienced in the world, and he quickly used his super accounting skills, scanning and bagging at the same time, thinking about whether to tell Cuihua in the warehouse to refill the food shelves.
After filling four large bags, the cashier boy wiped the sweat on his head and exhaled: "A total of four hundred and sixty-seven!"
-To be honest, there is no one who has spent more than 400 yuan on these junk snacks without buying firewood, rice, oil and salt.
Qi Yan silently touched his wallet and proudly threw out five big red tickets!
Yes, he is an otaku, and a very poor otaku... Behind the arrogance of five big tickets is the sadness that he has used up all his savings this month.
With thirty-three left, Qi Yan carefully put the money into his empty wallet.
-This song is the motivation for him to live! There are still two weeks until next month, thirty-three yuan... Well, it can last for a long time!
But now the problem came. Qi Yan stared at the four big bags of food, then looked at his two thin arms, and fell into deep thought.
Maybe... he can buy a shopping cart for thirty-three yuan. If it's not enough, he can bargain.
Qi Yan thought this and was about to turn back to the store to ask if the shopping cart was for sale when a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"do you need my help?"
Looking back, I saw that Xiao Yi was very light and only took a small bag from the supermarket, which was not full yet.
Qi Yan looked him up and down, his nose turned red when he hit his back, and felt that the free strong man could use...
The look in his eyes was so obvious that a smile flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes: "What? Guess whether I am strong enough?"
Qi Yan didn't say anything, but he said "hmm" in agreement.
—Yes, ordinary people can't help me.
Xiao Yi looked at the time on his watch and said, "So do you want my help? I'm anxious to go back and clean up the apartment."
Qi Yan moved the heaviest of the two bags toward him: "Two bags for you, two bags for me."
See, two packs of two is fair!
Xiao Yi chuckled and picked up the two bags of food, frowning without a trace.
—Stupid neighbor, did you buy the lead bar as chocolate
There was silence all the way. Although Xiao Yi helped Qi Yan carry things, he still didn't get any friendly communication from the neighbors. This made Xiao Yi wonder whether the society has changed or is his stupid neighbor too stupid
Fortunately, the elevator happened to stop on the first floor, so he didn't have to wait too long. Qi Yan entered the elevator first, then silently huddled in a corner, leaning two bags against the elevator wall, and stood there in a dull tone.
Xiao Yi, who followed, showed a desperate look. Oh my god, he didn't expect a thank you from such a stupid neighbor.
- It’s not that I am great and selfless, but that my neighbor is so stupid that people don’t want to care about him.
Maybe Xiao Yi was mentally prepared, but when Qi Yan nodded gently to him, carried his things into the house without saying a word, and closed the door with a bang, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. .
Returning to his apartment, Xiao Yi took a look at the large and small boxes stacked in the room and leaned on the sofa tiredly.
Let's take a break and then clean up. I'm really tired.
—Xiaoyi, your parents are getting divorced, who will you go with
—Xiaoyi, your mother is gone.
—Xiaoyi, this is Aunt Li, who will live with her father in the future.
—Xiao Yi, these are the clothes your Aunt Li bought for you. Let’s see if you like them
—Your Aunt Li and I are getting married. I hope to get your blessing, Xiaoyi.
…
Blocking his eyes with his knuckled hands, Xiao Yi blinked. Although there was bitterness in his heart, he tried hard to suppress it.
There is nothing to be painful about, Xiao Yi, your life is like this, don't be like a coward and just know how to escape.
Ring ring ring—
The phone rang suddenly, and Xiao Yi looked at the flashing screen. The caller ID on it made his hand pause when he was about to answer the phone.
—Aunt Li.
As the ringtone lengthened, as if urging, Xiao Yi answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Well, I just arrived at the apartment and haven't cleaned up yet."
"No, I'm fine. Don't think too much about it. Independence was originally part of my plan."
"I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, go ask dad."
"Well, okay, I will go home often, it's very close anyway."
"Okay, you and dad take care of your health... Well, goodbye."
…
There was a noise at the door of the apartment. Xiao Yi didn't pay attention and stood up, ready to start cleaning up.
