I followed him to the apartment he mentioned, which was indeed not far from the laboratory. This area belongs to the suburbs, the transportation is not very convenient, and there seem to be quite few people. Although this apartment cannot be said to be very new, it is
There is nothing shabby about it, it looks very ordinary.
He led me to the room he rented and then walked outside to make a phone call, as if he was calling his parents. I didn't pay much attention and looked around the room. Because it was an apartment, I really couldn't.
How big it is, maybe he rented a smaller room specifically to reduce the rent. All I can see is a living room, room, toilet, kitchen, balcony, everything is just one. There are not many electrical appliances, except for the refrigerator.
Other than that, there are only lights left.
There was no TV or anything like that. I couldn't even see it. If I hadn't taken out my phone and looked at it, I saw that there was indeed a wireless network. I would have thought that he had been completely isolated from modern society.
He came in from outside.
"I have already told my parents that you are here with me. They said that it would be better for you to go back to live when you are in a better mood. It is already very late today and the landlord does not live here. I will go find her tomorrow.
Rent a room. This is the key to the door. Apart from the landlord, you only have this one, so keep it carefully." He handed me a key, but I didn't take it.
"Why are you renting another room? You can just live here."
"This apartment only has one room. And the rent is not very expensive. You can rent it for about two thousand for a month. The landlord is also very nice. If I talk to her, I might be able to get a slightly cheaper price. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, etc.
, I still have a spare one that has not been opened, so use that one first. If you feel it’s not good, buy a new one tomorrow.”
"I'm not that delicate." I waved my hand: "Do you have any extra quilts? I can just sleep on the sofa."
"There's no point in letting you sleep on the sofa. You can just sleep in the room. The sheets and duvet covers were just changed the day before yesterday, so don't worry too much. Otherwise, I can just change them again. They should be dry after being exposed to the sun for a day.
."
"Don't bother me, I can just sleep on the sofa."
"You have to listen to me on this, otherwise I might as well let you rent a house by yourself." He became slightly tougher, and I was slightly surprised.
"Okay... but you don't have much money to begin with. If you rent more houses, your funds will be exhausted soon, right? You don't even have a regular job now, how are you going to fill this vacancy?"
"I……"
"You don't think about this as clearly as I do." I held my hands and looked at him, feeling a little unhappy at being refuted.
"...I'll just sleep on the sofa. The sofa should be wide enough and the quality is just fine. It's quite suitable for sleeping on as a bed."
"What's the difference between sleeping on the sofa and me?"
"This is absolutely not okay." He became tougher again. He is obviously a weaker person than me, but he is very tough in a place like this.
There is no need to make such an unpleasant fuss over such a trivial matter. I nodded helplessly.
"I'm a little tired." Then I turned around and went back to the room. From the corner of my eye, I saw that he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
I walked into his bedroom, turned on the light, closed the door, and observed the space.
This bedroom is very small, very small. After placing a bed, a table, and a wardrobe, there is only a narrow passage left. The bed is still close to this side, placed against the corner. As you can imagine,
I knew how small this room was. I couldn't help but frown, but I didn't complain. Instead, I sat on the bed and felt how crowded the space was.
I saw a lot of books on the table, and a small pot of cactus, which looked quite energetic. I was a little interested in those books, so I went over and took a look. The book was obviously divided into two parts, one large and one small.
, some of them were small, they should be novels or something like that. I wasn’t interested in them, so I didn’t open them to read, but on the other side, there were things I never expected to see in this place.
This is a physics textbook that I only flipped through when I was in junior high school. I picked it up and took a look at it. There was a second volume at the bottom, and then there were basic physics that gradually went up in grade order, which is considered physics.
The most basic and basic reading materials. I flipped through them casually, and there were a lot of notes and notes in them. There was also something like a notebook next to it. I also opened it and took a look, and there was a lot of handwriting inside.
Notes are very, very simple things to me. You can know the end when you see the beginning.
What is he doing? Is he studying physics again in his thirties? Is this subject of great help to daily life? I don't think so.
I didn't know what he wanted to do, so I became a little irritable. I threw the book on the table. Looking at other things, I found two photo frames next to the cactus that were blocked by the book.
One of them is a family photo of our family. The time... it was probably when I graduated from high school and just before going to college. I still have some memories. At that time, he seemed to have only been in the second year of high school, right? Or was he in his third year of high school?
I can’t remember clearly, but I looked quite happy. My parents also had the same happy expressions, except for me who was standing in the middle. I didn’t expect that... that look of impatient expression seemed to me now.
I really deserve a beating, and I really want to go there and teach this arrogant girl a lesson.
Soon, I sighed. This idea, if my experiment can succeed, there may be hope, but now... it is impossible.
The other picture shows him who has obviously grown up, probably in his mid-twenties, wearing a suit, and looking shy. Standing next to him is a woman also wearing a suit.
, I don’t know who she is, but judging from the way she holds his hand, their relationship should be very close. They are in a park-like place, with a fountain spraying in the background. The photo looks like
Very beautiful.
This should be the girlfriend he said, right? She looks very ordinary, but he seems to be very happy. If they hadn't broken up, maybe it would be a good match? Something like this flashed through my heart
idea.
My curiosity came back like it had a long time ago, and I wanted to explore a little bit about him. So I opened the first cabinet... There was only one thing in it, which was a small box, a small black box.
.I picked it up gently, opened it slightly and took a look, and for a moment...
My eyes were caught by that exquisite diamond ring.
