An Lan finally followed me to my rental place. This was also the first time she came to where I lived.
As soon as he entered the room, An Lan looked around the room, and then asked me with some surprise: "Is this where you live?"
"Well, it's a bit shabby, don't mind." I said and went to pour a glass of water for her.
An Lan took the water with a smile, said thank you to me, nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's pretty good. I can see that you are a very clean person."
I have been like this since I was a child. I don’t like being too sloppy. Even if the conditions of the place I live in are very poor, I will keep it clean so that I can at least feel comfortable living there.
But I smiled and joked: "You are lucky, I just happened to clean up when I went out in the morning."
"Really?" An Lan took a sip of water, winked at me and said, "Then you usually don't like to deal with things like those stinky men?"
I smiled and said, "Fortunately, the main thing is that I washed those smelly socks, otherwise the room would be full of smelly men's smell."
"Smelly poor!" An Lan glanced at me playfully, and then started walking around the room like the mistress of the house.
I have several books on the cabinet where the TV is placed. They are all about software and they are quite thick.
An Lan randomly picked up a book and opened it to read. While reading, he said, "Don't you see that you usually love to study?"
"Fortunately, the main reason is that I haven't been exposed to this aspect in the past two years. I'm afraid that I can't keep up with the pace of society, so I have to keep recharging and learning."
An Lan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you must have been a good student when you were in school, right?"
I laughed and said, "That's just the opposite."
An Lan stopped flipping through the book, turned to look at me, and said in surprise: "Then you are a bad student?"
"How do you put it?" I paused and then said, "At that time, several classmates and I formed an organization called the Qinglong Gang, but later the teacher discovered it and renamed us the Qinglong Study Group...
…”
An Lan suddenly laughed, a bright smile, with red lips and white teeth, so beautiful.
"ah……"
An Lan's laughter stopped suddenly, and she screamed in surprise, and the book she was holding in her hand fell to the ground in fright.
Almost at the same time, her body jumped back and quickly left the TV cabinet...
"What's wrong?" I immediately asked nervously.
"Old...mouse...there..."
She rushed towards me, grabbed my arm tightly, looked at me in horror, and stammered.
I stared at her finger, and sure enough there was a big black mouse.
It looks quite scary, but I'm used to it.
"You...why are there rats in your house?...Such a scary monster..."
Nani?
When did rats become monsters?
But it looks really cute right now, like a little girl who is afraid of caterpillars, which makes people feel pity.
And her usual appearance at work is completely two extremes. I never expected that she would act like a little girl.
I protected her behind me and said to her with a smile: "Don't be afraid, these are my pets. They don't bite."
"Ah?! Pet...are you...sure?" An Lan opened her eyes wide and looked at me in disbelief.
"That's right!" I rubbed my nose and laughed, "They are very obedient, and sometimes they even climb into my bed and sleep with me, and sometimes they even come to my table when I am eating...
"
"Stop talking!" She interrupted me in surprise and said, "This is too scary! How can you support your old age...with mice as pets?"
An Lan probably grew up in a relatively good environment since she was a child. Even though she came from a rural area, she said it happened before she was five years old and she has no memory of it.
So a big-looking rat would certainly pose a threat to her.
Because of the unexpected fear, she never let go of my hand, holding on to my arm and hiding behind me.
I didn't dare to move for fear of scaring her again.
Some girls are more pretentious, but An Lan is obviously not being pretentious at this moment. She is really scared, and her eyes are full of fear.
But she still realized her gaffe, and quickly let go of her hand, as fast as if she had been electrocuted, and her face was already red.
I suddenly became angry and embarrassed, so I quickly found something to say: "Don't be afraid, I'm just teasing you. These rats are not my pets. I'll get rid of them now."
After that, I caught the mouse, picked it up with my hands, and threw it out of the window.
When I turned around, I saw An Lan looking at me even more horrified, as if his eyes were about to pop out.
"What's wrong?" I asked her again immediately.
"You...you caught mice with your bare hands?!"
I spread my hands, smiled and said, "What's going on?"
"Oh my God! It's so scary!"
"Really?" I gave a bad laugh, then raised the hand I used to catch the mouse and quickly approached her.
An Lan immediately backed away, looked at me with vigilance, waved at me: "You... don't come over... don't move!"
I ignored her and continued to approach her, speeding up.
An Lan also drove faster and retreated. Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly lifted a small stool on the ground, and he fell backwards...
"Be careful!" I shouted and quickly grabbed her.
Fortunately, I caught him and didn't fall down.
An Lan was very frightened, not because she fell, but because I grabbed her hand.
She suddenly screamed again, and then pushed me away with all her strength. This time, she pushed me to the ground, unable to stand still.
I hurriedly said to her: "I didn't catch you with the hand I use to catch mice. I used my left hand. I just caught the mouse with my right hand."
An Lan was stunned for a moment, then immediately walked towards me, ready to help me up.
But I had already stood up and said to her: "I'm sorry! I scared you."
She still stayed away from me, as if she was afraid of touching my right hand.
I didn't dare to scare her anymore. She was so scared that her face turned pale just now.
"Ahem, it's okay. There's no need to be so scared, right? I've already thrown out the mice."
She pointed to the bathroom and said commandingly: "Go and wash your hands, hurry up."
"Isn't that true?"
"As for that!"
Okay! I had to go to the bathroom obediently and wash myself with soap several times.
After I came out of the bathroom, she said to me with a hint of embarrassment: "I'm sorry... I made you laugh! I'm just very afraid of mice. Other animals are better."
I smiled and said, "It's nothing. I thought you were quite cute just now, a side you don't usually see."
"What?" She looked up at me, as if she didn't understand what I meant.
"Nothing..." I quickly changed the subject and said, "You said you are only afraid of mice, but are you afraid of other animals, such as snakes?"
"That's okay."
"Why are you only afraid of rats?"
As soon as I finished speaking, "commotion" started in the next room...
As soon as I heard it, I knew it was the young man and woman next door, and they started fighting again!
An Lan also heard it, and she raised her head and looked at me doubtfully.
He didn't seem to fully understand what was going on, and he seemed to be asking me...
