Wu Wan

Chapter 8

This time, Jiang Shuo forgot to work out of town for only one day, stayed in the hotel for one night, and returned to City B the next day.

"Xiao Bao, are you feeling better?"

Jiang Shuowang's tenderness is like a rusty knife to him, it can't kill anyone, and it won't make people feel good either.

"It's okay, thank you boss."

"Why are you being so polite to me. Yesterday, a manufacturer sent a small air purifier. I have a big one at home. I can't use this one. I'll take it back for you when I come back tomorrow. The air is really not very good recently."

This is not the first time Jiang Shuo forgot to give him something.Celebrities, it is inevitable that there will be endorsements and cooperation. They often receive a lot of gifts, some of which are not needed. Jiang Shuowang just gave them to Zhao Duobao. Put it away carefully, pretend it is a gift that Jiang Shuo forgot to give him, and look at those things at home and be happy alone for a long time.

But today, Zhao Duobao doesn't want to accept it so much. He and Jiang Shuowang are people from two worlds. Any thoughts of Shuo Wang should disappear completely.

"I think I may not need it..." Zhao Duobao forced himself to refuse, "Thank you boss for your kindness."

"Huh? Why?" Jiang Shuowang was a little puzzled, "It's not big, so it shouldn't take up space."

"No. It's just that it's not convenient for me to use it. Anyway, thank you."

"Well, it's okay, it's up to you to get used to it." Jiang Shuo forgot to close his eyes and fall asleep, and the car returned to silence.

After returning to City B after finishing his work in other places, Jiang Shuowang asked Zhao Duobao again if he needed to take the air purifier back for use, but he still refused. After parking the car, he took the subway home as usual.

When he reached the intersection of the village in the city, Zhao Duobao looked around subconsciously, trying to find Jiang Yi's figure, but found nothing, couldn't help mocking his ridiculous behavior in his heart, and walked into the depths of the alley absent-mindedly.

"Find me?"

Suddenly a somewhat sinister voice sounded behind him, and Zhao Duobao immediately turned his head in shock. Sure enough, Jiang Yi was standing behind him, and he didn't know how long he followed.

"Huh? What did you say..."

"You wrote two words on your face."

Zhao Duobao raised his hand and wiped his face, "Ah? What word?"

Jiang Yi looked at his movements and lowered his head and smiled, "Guilty."

It turned out that he was laughing at himself, Zhao Duobao took a deep breath, turned his head and walked in, Jiang Yi quickly followed.

"Look for me, just look for me, if there's anything wrong with admitting it."

Zhao Duobao turned his head to look at the people around him, he still had the same sloppy look, with a bit of a naughty smile, completely different from what he saw in the text messages on his mobile phone.He was a little dazed, which one was the real Jiang Yi.

Seeing Zhao Duobao staring at him in a daze, Jiang Yi raised his hand and shook it in front of him, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you confused by my handsomeness?"

Zhao Duobao rolled his eyes at him, "You're really thick-skinned."

"Should have taken a picture of you so you can see for yourself."

Zhao Duobao raised his hand to cover his side face, and quickened his pace. Jiang Yi grabbed his wrist and pulled it down, "Okay, I didn't shoot again." Zhao Duobao gave him a suspicious look, and Jiang Yi spread his hands towards him.

Zhao Duobao didn't buy food today, so he went home directly, and Jiang Yi followed into the house.The temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days. Zhao Duobao's living conditions are not good. The door is very cracked, the windows are not tight enough, and the wind leaks from all sides. After sitting in the house for a while, he feels cold all over his body.Houses in urban villages naturally have no heating, and when it gets cold, they can only be wrapped in two extra quilts.

Zhao Duobao was able to grit his teeth and bear it, but Jiang Yi couldn't. Within 10 minutes after entering the room, he shivered from the cold and stomped his feet uncontrollably, "What a shitty place you are, it's so cold, no wonder you have a fever."

Zhao Duobao was heating hot water, and said without turning his head, "I can only live in this kind of crappy place, if you think it's cold, you can go back."

One sentence made Jiang Yi gnash his teeth in anger, "How can I save you, why are you treating your savior like this?"

"I'm telling the truth."

"Didn't I just tell the truth?" Jiang Yi was so cold that he rubbed his legs, "I'm not wrong to say that you are dead cold here. If you continue to live like this, you will have a fever and die sooner or later."

"What does it have to do with you?"

Zhao Duobao's voice was so low that Jiang Yi couldn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." As soon as the hot water was boiled, Zhao Duobao poured a cup and handed it to Jiang Yi, letting him hold it warm.

The kettle Zhao Duobao used was very small, only enough for a large cup, and after pouring it out to Jiang Yi, he had to boil another pot for himself.

Jiang Yi looked at his busy figure, wearing a thick cotton coat and cotton trousers without looking bloated, and looking closely, he could see that his hand holding the kettle was trembling slightly, and his hands had faded blood from the cold. Pale and thin, he was wearing the most common sneakers, which didn't look too warm, and he kept stomping his feet lightly while waiting for the water to boil.

When Zhao Duobao walked over holding another cup full of hot water, Jiang Yi noticed that there were abnormal red spots on the back of his hand due to sudden cold and sudden heat, and his words seemed to flow from his mouth uncontrollably. Li said, "Let's rent together, how about it?"

"Ah!" Zhao Duobao shook his hands, and the hot water in the cup splashed on the back of his hands, "What did you say?"

"I said we rent together." Jiang Yi didn't know what he was obsessed with. An unprecedented impulse made him desperately hope that this matter could be achieved. "Look, you live here is far away and the conditions are poor. And you rent Isn’t the reason for this house just to save money, if we rent together, I will share the rent with you, you can also save money, you don’t have to live so far away, and you can live better in winter.”

"me…"

"What are you, don't worry, I won't cheat you of money, rent as much as you want, and sign the contract together."

"Why do you share the rent with me?"

"I need to rent a house, and you also need to rent a house. Together, two people can improve housing conditions and save money. Why not?"

When he first came to City B, Zhao Duobao thought about finding someone to share the rent with, but because he was not familiar with the place and couldn't find a suitable share partner, he let it go.Now Jiang Yi's proposal really moved his heart, but he was still a little hesitant...

"Are you, are you trying to use me to get close to Jiang Shuowang?"

"Damn! What the hell am I using you for? Putting a bug or a pinhole camera on you?" Jiang Yi felt that he was making fun of himself, so he snorted, "It doesn't matter if you like Zuzu or not, anyway. It's none of my business if it's too cold." He got up and planned to leave.

"Wait!" Zhao Duobao called to stop him.

Jiang Yi stopped and turned his head, looking uneasy, squinting at Zhao Duobao, "Say."

"I...I accept your proposal."

"Oh. I'll send you the address tomorrow and let's go to see the house together."

"Okay." Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yi had already left.

The address of the house is near the university town.It was only then that Zhao Duobao found out that Jiang Yi was a third-year student who planned to move out of the dormitory and rent a room off-campus because he was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Because most of them have no worries about tenants here, and they are all rented by students. Compared with the market, the price will be slightly cheaper than the same period last year. Zhao Duobao has no objection after looking at several rooms in a row. Any one here is better than the place where he lives now. Conditions are much better.On the contrary, Jiang Yi has high requirements for the house. After careful comparison, he finally settled on a two-bedroom house. Although one room is separated from the living room, the price is very advantageous.

"Have you been looking at the house for a long time?"

"I've been looking at it for half a month, and I haven't decided which one is better." Jiang Yi was looking at the real estate certificate provided by the landlord.

After listening to the conversation between the two, the landlord did not forget to boast about his house, "My house is very nice, it is not facing the street, it is quiet, it is also close to the subway station, and the transportation is very convenient."

"Yes." Zhao Duobao smiled politely at the landlord.

After the house is settled, after signing the contract and paying the deposit and the first month's rent, you can move in.

"I'll give you the money when the house over there is returned." Before it was time to pay wages, Zhao Duobao couldn't afford so much money for a while, so he only gave Jiang Yi part of it first.

"Yeah." Jiang Yi looked in every room, "There is a lot of daily necessities here, and there is a supermarket downstairs, let's go together."

"I have them all, and I can just move here tomorrow."

"Then come with me."

Regardless of Zhao Duobao's disagreement, Jiang Yi grabbed his arm and went out the door.

The biggest reason for the cheap rent of this house is that it is on the ninth floor and there is no elevator.But it doesn't matter to the two young boys, climbing the stairs every day is regarded as exercise.

Although the supermarket downstairs is just a private supermarket, it has a complete range of items and fresh dishes, so the business is pretty good.

Jiang Yi pushed a shopping cart and pulled Zhao Duobao to pick things from shelf to shelf.

"How about this brand of shampoo?" Jiang Yi handed the bottle to Zhao Duobao.

Zhao Duobao looked at the shampoo and then at the price tags on the shelves, "Well...Actually, men have short hair, so you can use any of them. This one is too expensive and not worth it."

"I said, how can you be a big man..."

When the words came to his lips, he thought of Zhao Duobao's previous life and felt a little hurtful, so he quickly braked the car, but the meaning of the words was still heard.

"I don't have that much money to afford these unnecessary expenses."

Jiang Yi threw the bottle of shampoo into the shopping cart, "I'll pay."

Anyway, Zhao Duobao's house had all these daily necessities, so he didn't argue with Jiang Yi.

Shampoo is always on the shelf next to body wash.

"How do you smell this?"

Zhao Duobao sniffed Jiang Yi's hand and frowned slightly, "The fragrance is a bit pungent."

"What about this one?" Jiang Yi changed another bottle.

"It doesn't seem to smell too good."

Jiang Yi put the shower gel back, "Help me choose one that smells good, regardless of the price."

"Use it yourself, just pick the flavor you like."

"We live under the same roof, in case you think my shower gel smells bad and pick on me?"

There is something really wrong with Zhao Duobao believing such a nonsensical reason, "I'm not that boring."

"Who knows that you are all boring." Jiang Yi didn't care, picked up a bottle of shower gel, opened the lid, and stuffed it under his nose, "How is it?" Zhao Duobao kept asking until he answered without saying a word.

Zhao Duobao really couldn't stand Jiang Yi's arrogant behavior, so he squinted at him, took the shower gel in his hand, smelled it, put it back on the shelf, picked out a bottle that looked good, and smelled it, " Just this."

"Okay." Jiang Yi took the bottle, put it in the shopping cart, and moved to the next shelf.One by one, Jiang Yi brutally forced Zhao Duobao to pick out all the daily necessities with him.

Zhao Duobao saw that the dishes in the supermarket were quite fresh, so he nodded at Jiang Yi's arm, "Why don't you buy something and I'll cook later."

"You know how to cook?"

"Ah."

"You used to buy and eat outside every day, and I thought you didn't know how to do it."

"The landlord of that house did not allow the fire to be fired."

"So you can still live."

After picking out some vegetables, buying some meat and condiments, and paying the bill, the two climbed upstairs and returned to their "new home".
