All this time, it was me who stood next to Luo Xiangdong and secretly liked him. I never thought that one day, he would be waiting silently at my door to accompany me, without me even needing to know.
I stood inside the door and he stood outside. I never opened the door and asked him to come in. At first I was just curious about when he would leave. Later, after waiting for a long time, I was sleepy and tired, but I just wanted him to leave quickly.
I was extremely tangled in my heart. It was impossible not to feel sorry for him. But there was another voice in my heart telling me that he just stood outside the door for a few hours before I felt soft. So who felt sorry for me when I was forced to leave Night City and return to Liang City
With this in mind, I forced myself to turn around and go back to the master bedroom to sleep. I couldn't sleep well as I lay on my bed, tossing and turning, and slept and woke up all night until about six in the morning. I got up and went to the ground and walked towards the door.
At dawn, I looked out through the peephole and saw that Luo Xiangdong was no longer in the open space. After hesitating for a moment, I unlocked the door and stood at the door.
Looking down, I saw a pile of cigarette ashes scattered on the opposite wall, and the top of the trash can was filled with smoked cigarette butts. I thought that Luo Xiangdong was still standing here at four in the morning. He must have been very sleepy, so he left.
Worried that the owner of the house next door would be unhappy about the soot, I turned around and went back to get the vacuum cleaner. Just as I was standing at the door in my pajamas cleaning, I heard the sound of the elevator door opening, and I instinctively looked sideways. The first person to emerge from the elevator was a large gray-white dog.
I was stunned, and in a blink of an eye, the queen rushed towards me. I was holding the vacuum cleaner in one hand, and I was staggered by it. I had to take two steps back before I could stand still.
Not long after, kingb and Luo Xiangdong also came out of the elevator. Two big dogs surrounded me and grunted excitedly. I had to temporarily put down the vacuum cleaner and stroke their heads to show comfort.
Queenb acts like a meat bun every time he sees me. Even standing up and jumping at me can't relieve his inner restlessness. I hugged it and it kept kissing my face. It knocked me against the wall, and considering its height, it hit me once.
I have seen people being banged against someone, but I have never seen someone being banged against an Alaskan boy.
In the end, Luo Xiangdong stretched out his hand to pull it away, and then stepped in front of me without leaving a trace. After queenb landed on all fours, she groaned and didn't know what to do. Luo Xiangdong looked down at it and said half-seriously: "Be more reserved. If you continue to be so crazy, I won't bring you to see her."
It is said that dogs understand human nature, because I saw QueenB barking "woof woof" at Luo Xiangdong twice in displeasure.
With two of us and two dogs, it was enough to fill up the small corridor space. The door to the next door suddenly opened a crack, and the woman who was frightened by Luo Xiangdong last night only showed half of her face and looked at us.
She said, "I'm sorry, I have to go to work, but I'm a little afraid of dogs. Can you bring the dog inside first?"
After a pause, I nodded repeatedly: "Okay, we're sorry for delaying your work."
I had to let kingb and queenb enter the house first, and Luo Xiangdong followed naturally.
Two giant dogs kept following us, making it difficult for me to walk. I said out loud: "You go inside and play."
The two big dogs walked in, leaving me and Luo Xiangdong standing by the door. Seeing that he was holding two big bags in his hands, I couldn't help but ask: "You didn't go home?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I thought you wouldn't get up so early, so I went to buy some snacks and the steamed buns you like to eat."
After a pause, he added: "Pick them up on the way to save you from boredom."
As the saying goes, you can't hit the smiling person even if you stretch out your hand. Seeing that Luo Xiangdong had not slept all night, I said, "Come in and sit down."
Luo Xiangdong placed the bag on the coffee table in the living room, and then took out the individually packed buns, pickles, and porridge. I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Looking at myself in the mirror, my face turned pale and my double eyelids turned into single eyelids. I sighed to myself that I rarely looked good in front of Luo Xiangdong.
When I came out again, Luo Xiangdong, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at me and said, "Come over and eat."
Because kingb and queenb were in the room, I didn't feel like I was alone with Luo Xiangdong, at least it wasn't that awkward.
He was sitting on the sofa, and it was hard for me to sit next to him, so I pulled up a chair and sat diagonally across from him, with a coffee table between us.
Luo Xiangdong opened the lids of the boxes containing steamed buns, pickles and porridge one by one, and even handed the chopsticks to me personally. I kept my eyes slightly lowered and didn't say anything, but actually I had mixed feelings in my heart.
Why does God always play tricks on people? How great would it be if he happened to like me when I like him? There is no obstacle between us and we just get together simply because we like each other
We have to wait until things have changed and people have changed, so that we can use this mentality to recall similar scenes from the past.
During those days when I no longer expected to be with Luo Xiangdong, I often recalled the time when I was an assistant at Luo's. Every morning Luo Xiangdong would call me to have breakfast in his office. I ate cakes and coffee for a long time until I took the initiative to buy steamed buns and soy milk.
At first he pretended, but only after I bumped into him did he admit that steamed buns with soy milk are far more delicious than cakes with coffee.
Luo Xiangdong had already changed his clothes. When he was at the door just now, I smelled the nice smell of body wash on his body. He didn't mention anything about standing outside the door last night, and neither did I.
My mood was indeed low, but I felt inexplicably calm, as if I had survived a storm at sea. Although I suffered heavy losses, I knew that I would not be in a dilemma from now on.
I caught a glimpse of Luo Xiangdong looking at me from the corner of my eye. I was too embarrassed to open my mouth while eating steamed buns. After a while, I finally couldn't help but look up at him and asked, "You don't want to eat?"
Luo Xiangdong's expression remained unchanged, his lips opened, and he said calmly: "You can eat it."
I couldn't tell what Luo Xiangdong was thinking, and I didn't want to try my best to guess. I lowered my head and ate two steamed buns and a few mouthfuls of porridge. I had just finished eating when I heard my cell phone ringing in the room, so I got up and went back to the bedroom to pick it up.
The caller was Xu Yifan. After I answered the call, I called out: "Brother Yifan."
Xu Yifan asked tentatively in a soft voice: "Zijin, are you feeling better?"
Thinking about what happened last night, I just feel so embarrassed. Fortunately, Xu Yifan doesn't talk loudly about it.
I said, "It's okay, just sleep for one night and you'll be fine."
Xu Yifan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Zhu Ke and I have arrived downstairs at your house. Please ring the bell in a moment and you can open the door for us."
"Huh?" I stared subconsciously.
Xu Yifan said: "Zhu Kefei came to see you and said that he had something on his mind that he wanted to tell you."
While talking, the doorbell rang at home, and Xu Yifan said: "Open the door."
I go!
Is there such a thing as cutting first and playing later
I looked back and saw Luo Xiangdong sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking up at me. I was confused, and my first reaction was to go blank.
As I turned around and walked to the living room, I held my phone and said to Xu Yifan, "Wait a moment, I'll get up and get dressed."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, before I could say anything to Luo Xiangdong, he asked me: "Whose phone number is it so early?"
I looked at him a little anxiously and replied aloud: "My colleague and his girlfriend came to see me."
Luo Xiangdong said without changing his expression: "Let them come up."
I looked at him intently and used weird eyes to hint to him that he was inappropriate here, right
Luo Xiangdong must have guessed what I was thinking. He just said calmly: "You are single now, what are you afraid of?"
I said, "Look what time it is now?"
Shortly before 6:30 in the morning, Luo Xiangdong showed up at my house. Can I explain clearly
After hesitating for a moment, I quickly said: "You take kingb and queenb and leave first."
Luo Xiangdong sat on the sofa, raised his eyes slightly and said to me: "Be calm in your heart. They can come to see you, why can't I come to see you? Do you care what others think?"
After saying that, without waiting for me to reply to him, he added: "If you care too much about what others think, you can only have two endings. Either die of hypocrisy, or die of exhaustion. Which one do you choose?"
Luo Xiangdong used to like teaching me a lot, but now that he says this, I feel a sense of familiarity that I haven't seen for a long time.
Just as one of us was sitting and the other standing, we were fighting against each other. There were several gentle knocks on the door, accompanied by Xu Yifan's familiar voice: "Zijin, we are here."
I turned my head and looked at the door, my heart was already lifted.
When Luo Xiangdong saw that I didn't move, he stood up and started to walk to the door. I instinctively reached out and grabbed his sleeve, frowned, and lowered my voice: "What are you doing?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Open the door."
I was really pissed off by him. He looked calm, but I couldn't have a clear conscience. Dragging Luo Xiangdong, I pushed him to the guest bedroom, then stood by the door and looked at him and said, "You are not allowed to come out until they leave."
Luo Xiangdong was unexpectedly cooperative and didn't look unhappy. He even took the initiative to call kingb and queenb in.
I closed the guest bedroom door and was about to go out and open the door for Xu Yifan and Li Zhuke, but from the corner of my eye, I saw a lot of things on the coffee table in the living room, so I had to carry the bag to the kitchen.
Outside the door, Xu Yifan knocked a few more times: "Zijin?"
I quickly said: "It's coming, it's coming."
After scanning around to make sure there was no 'evidence' left, I ran to the door and opened it.
Xu Yifan and Li Zhuke appeared in front of them, carrying fruit baskets, snacks and even flowers. I stepped aside to let them in, and couldn't help but ask aloud: "Are you here to visit patients?"
Li Zhuke said: "I won't let him buy flowers but he insists on buying them. To say that falling out of love is equivalent to a serious illness. He wishes you a speedy recovery in advance."
After she finished speaking, Xu Yifan handed me a large bouquet of red and white lilies and said, "How was last night?"
I asked, "How about what?"
Xu Yifan said: "Broken love is the most afraid of being alone. We were originally two people, but suddenly there was only one left. How uncomfortable is it? Why don't you let us accompany you, or let Zhu Ke come and talk to you? That’s fine.”
I thought of Luo Xiangdong, who stood outside the door last night and stayed with me all night. So I focused all my attention on him, and I didn't even have a chance to feel sad.
