Chapter 136: Loneliness

Today is Monday, and it's the day of work.

Qingyi guarded the consultation phone, but still did not receive any complaints. There were a few inquiries from new customers, and it seemed that it was useful to distribute business cards, and gradually the market was expanded.

After getting off work, Qingyi went home silently. A gust of wind blew on the road, making him feel the coolness of his skin.

Autumn has arrived.

Back downstairs in the apartment, Qingyi slowly walked up. For some reason, he really didn't want to go home, so he walked slowly with every step. But no matter how much he dragged it, he was already on the third floor, and soon approached the top floor, his home. The 'color' of his face is getting worse and worse.

Well? …… Qingyi noticed that there was water flowing on the stairs, no, it should be said that there was a continuous flow of water throughout the staircase. He tiptoed carefully and went up another floor, only to find that the 'door' in front of him was open. It was the house of the Jewish 'girl'. The Jewish 'girl' was leaning against the door, wearing a small vest and a pair of jeans, with the mop rod hooked in the crook of her arm, and her face was broken.

"Hey, what's going on?" Qingyi asked.

The Jewish 'girl' glanced at him and was very frustrated: "When I want to take a bath, the water pipe breaks, what the hell!" Although I called, the repairman didn't know when he came. Alas, there's a date tonight! ”

Broken water pipes?

Qingyi's heart moved, remembering the last time he knocked down the other party in the stairs, so he said with an obligated face: "I'll help you fix it!" ”

"Really?" The 'female' child was stunned and overjoyed: "Thank you!" You're such a nice guy! ”

Answering casually, Qingyi walked into the house. This was the first time he had walked into the girl's room. Frankly, the interior is a bit 'messy', not even as neat as his own. After entering the 'door', the front is the corridor, you can enter the kitchen, bedroom and utility room, the 'door' should open the bathroom, and if you look to the right, you will see the living room, judging from the uncleaned lunch box on the table, the living room may also double as a dining room. The flat-screen TV and two giant-like speakers sit against the wall, and if there were no TV benches underneath, the two valuable speakers might have flooded and failed. The windows were open, and the gauze curtains were blown by the autumn breeze, dancing lightly, without any concern for the mood of the owner at the moment. There is water on the floor, and every step requires a lot of determination and perseverance.

And then...... There's a dog in the house?! It's a 'hairy' Chihuahua, lying on the sofa, like a 'hairy' cloth doll! If Qingyi hadn't noticed that this guy moved, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed it!

As soon as he saw this dog, Qingyi's 'hair' stood on end. He stood on tiptoe, as far away from the dog as he could, carefully making a large circle.

The 'girl' child looked funny: "What are you doing? It's well-behaved and won't hurt you. ”

"It's hard to say." Qingyi spat out two words with difficulty, and his expression was as if he was being besieged by dozens of Stitch leaders. The dog was still staring at him intently, wagging its tail. "Don't look here, don't look here, don't look here......"

Reciting the spell he thought had a calming effect, Qingyi slowly moved to the hallway, and after confirming that the puppy's vision was blocked by the wall, he took a long breath and regained his 'spirit'. He strode into the bathroom, and saw that the bathtub was full of water, and the water at the water pipe joint was 'shooting' high, as if he was peeing. After a little consideration, he said to the 'girl' child, "Is there a toolbox?" ”

"Nope." The 'female' child stared wide-eyed, very innocent.

Qingyi shrugged, already anticipating this situation: "Okay. So, there will always be waterproof tape, right? ”

"No ......"

"It's okay, then I'll go back and get it. Close the main gate first. Qingyi tightened an inconspicuous faucet in the corner of the bathroom, and the water stopped immediately.

The 'girl' child asked excitedly, "Is this repaired?" ”

How uncommon sense you have to be! Qingyi rolled his eyes and said, "Not yet." The main gate is turned off just to prevent further leaks, but then you won't be able to take a shower or even use any of the faucets in the bathroom. Hold on. ”

When he went upstairs and returned home, Qingyi picked out a few tools he needed, and then walked down again. The 'girl' child was very obedient, and stayed in the bathroom and waited for him motionless.

"It's amazing. You know how to fix water pipes! "The 'female' child couldn't help but admire when she saw that Yi was busy.

"I don't think it's a compliment." Qingyi muttered, his hand non-stop.

The 'girl' kid was amused: "Hey, you're such a nice guy. In the past, I always thought you were unkind and even a little obedient, but you also have an unexpected side! My name is Dora? Wolfitz is based on Penny from The Big Bang Theory, what about you? ”

"Zhang Qingyi. Well, Zhang is my last name. Qingyi got up and asked, "Okay, dear miss, is there anything else you want to help with?" ”

"Ah, there is! The light bulb in the storage room is broken, but I won't change it, so I don't dare to go in at night; The kitchen sink seems to be clogged, and I can't unblock it no matter how I 'get' it, and the window in the living room somehow can't be closed at all, and often opens automatically, and ......"

Qingyi rolled her eyes. Oh, my God. How can such a person get married.

When he returned to his 'door' again, Qingyi was already an hour later than before. He took the key and tried to open the 'door', when he heard Mrs. Green's gentle, friendly voice: "Son, what did you go to do just now?" ”

"As you can see, helping a patient who can't take care of himself with household chores." Yang Yang the wrench in his hand, Qingyi smiled reflexively.

"Oh! It's a surprise to see you help someone other than me for the first time! We'll have to talk about it. Have you eaten, young man? Mrs. Green opened the door, revealing the interior of the room, which was full of bright yellow light: "I guess you haven't eaten yet!" ”

Although Qingyi had already bought a sandwich after work, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva at this time, and replied as if he had been caught in a 'ecstasy' soul technique: "I haven't eaten......

"So what are you waiting for? Tonight you have your favorite pickled gherkins! ”

Since her work, Qingyi has rarely come to Mrs. Green's house for dinner. Although he needed to help in the kitchen today, he couldn't ask for it. Once he thinks of pickling gherkins, his tongue is endlessly divided into + secretion + liquid.

Today's main dish is smoked 'meat' with mashed potatoes. Although it is the most common dish of home-cooked dishes, Qingyi never gets tired of eating it. If nothing else, the cute appearance alone makes people appetize. The mashed potatoes are soft like a cloud, and with a little 'milky' oil, they taste naturally sweet, and with just the right amount of salt and pepper, the taste is not monotonous, and you can eat a full pot without realizing it. Smoked meat has a beautiful red color like a ham of fire, and it has a unique aroma of smoked food, burrowing into the nose and teasing the sense of smell and taste.

For green vegetables, it is fried broccoli 'flowers' in olive oil. Of course, there is nothing special about this dish, but the broccoli 'flowers' are neatly arranged on the plate with the 'flower' pattern, which looks very 'fine' and delicate. The fragrance of olive oil is not inferior to the aroma of smoked 'meat', and the feeling they bring to people is different. The broccoli 'flower' is crisp and sweet, and it is said to be the most nutritious of vegetables. Qingyi doesn't actually like to eat broccoli, but it was because of this dish that he changed his opinion.

The dessert is jujube pudding. The 'milky' yellow and 'colored' pudding is topped with a thick layer of jujube paste, although it is not something that can only be eaten by the wealthy, but it gives people a sense of luxury at a glance. Qingyi poked it with a spoon first, admiring the way the pudding trembled and swayed, and then began to taste it. The pudding is soft and smooth, with little friction, and the 'milky' flavor slips into the throat at once. Although this dessert was a little too sweet for Qingyi, he didn't mind eating it clean.

The snacks that accompany the meal are naturally the uncrowned king in Qingyi's heart - pickled cucumbers! As she looked at it, Qingyi's eyes lit up, making Mrs. Green laugh at him, saying that he was like a hungry wolf.

"This kind of eating doesn't please 'girl' children." Mrs. Green said, her eyes full of doting.

"What's the matter, I'm not going to be in a relationship anyway. Let's wait until I'm thirty, it's still early. After Qingyi finished speaking, he continued to gobble up, with mashed potatoes on the side of his mouth.

"Oh? Isn't Dora okay either? ”

Qingyi coughed a few times, almost choking. He took a napkin and wiped his mouth with a smile: "Mrs. Green, I didn't think you also like gossip?" It's the first time I've talked to her today, and I'm not even a friend. ”

"Not ready to go deeper? To tell the truth, she is a good 'girl' child, 'sexual' extraordinary, lively and generous. ”

"Nope. I didn't think about it that way. Qingyi shook his head.

Mrs. Green asked, "Did you 'make' friends at work?" ”

Qingyi looked up and thought: "If the people who eat lunch together every day are considered 'friends', then I have several friends." However, there was some confusion in his eyes: "No, maybe I am working with them as a manager, and being friendly to them is just to facilitate the implementation of the new system...... Is this a friend? ”

"Do you use the idea of utilitarian 'sexuality' to guess other people's minds again?" Mrs. Green's "Oh my God, look at this little old man" expression: "Honestly, relationships in the workplace are a little more complicated than in life. In your daily work, you have a superior-subordinate relationship, but in private, of course, you can also become friends. I think when people get together to eat and talk, they can be called 'friends'. ”

Qingyi smiled: "That's right. ”

Mrs. Green poured a cup of 'milk' tea for Qingyi, and asked, "Zhang, your studies are over, should you go back?" I mean, back to China? ”

"I don't want to go back." Qingyi's face stiffened, but he quickly smiled. "Of course, visas are an issue. I have a study visa, I am currently in the internship stage, and I am still considered to be studying business management, so I do not need to leave the United States immediately. Wait until the time of forced repatriation. ”

Mrs. Green wanted to insist, "But, your fatherβ€”"

"I remember you saying that your union with Mr. Green was opposed by the elders, right? If Mr. Green had listened to his father, you would have lost a piece of happiness. So, I didn't want to listen to my dad this time. ”

Qingyi lowered his head and stared at the steam on the cup. , if you like "The Journey of the Dead in Online Games" written by Qianjiang 'Hua' Fire
