Chapter 29 Moving Storm
I am a very efficient person, which can be called vigorous and resolute to some extent.
After I had the idea of moving, I began to pay attention to Beijing’s rental websites, Douban groups, and various rental apps the next day.
Beijing is relatively large, and there are many people renting houses.But there are not many suitable houses at this point in time.
Either it's a long way from where I work, or it's expensive.
I haven't found a suitable one after searching for a week. I'm a little anxious.
Because I was looking for a house recently, part of my work was postponed, which also caused me to spend more time at home than before.
It is inevitable that we need to see Si Jingnian more, so I try my best to behave naturally in front of her.
When I saw her, I tried to suppress the emotions in my heart and treat her the way I had before.
But I know I'm a poor performer, at least I can't do the intimate gestures I used to do before.
I have scruples in my heart, and my reason and morality pull me.
Every time she approaches, I feel panic in my heart.
She tried to touch my head, I scratched my head and backed away;
She tried to wipe the rice grains off the corners of my mouth, but I panicked and took out a tissue to wipe it off myself;
She tried to communicate with me, I clenched my phone tightly and said that I had something to leave first;
she tried to...
I avoid it like a snake and a scorpion, which is in great contrast to before.
I know I look weird, but I can't think of a better way.
I have to escape this vicious circle quickly.
Avoid getting yourself into trouble.
Avoid doing something by yourself that will never be restored.
I have to move.
I thought about whether I knew a rental agency, but I didn't seem to.
I flipped through my address book and saw [All Things House·Li Xian], I guess he should have a way.
I chatted with him privately, and saw that our conversation was still stuck in the last time we talked about inviting him to dinner.
Celebrating the new year with peace of mind: are you there?Is the handsome guy there?
Everything House · Li Xian: Yes, yes.
He replied in seconds, and his attitude towards doing business is really good.
Celebrate the New Year with peace of mind: By the way, the introduction of the escort last time was very good.Thank you again.
Wanshiwu·Li Xian: No, no, besides, didn’t you say you wanted to invite me to dinner?
Wan Shi Wu Li Xian: I wait for you to call me and invite me to dinner every day.
Happy new year with peace of mind: hahahaha is this so (wiping sweat)
Celebrate the new year with peace of mind: Otherwise, are you free these two nights?Let's have a meal together.
Wanshiwu·Li Xian: Yes, yes.How about tonight!
I looked at my schedule, nothing happened.
Happy New Year with peace of mind: OK.What to eat.
Wan Shi Wu Li Xian: You can choose, I am not picky.
Celebrating the new year with peace of mind: OK, then I will send you the location of the restaurant later.
Wanshiwu·Li Xian: Okay (Jerry’s bouncing emoji)
Celebrate the New Year with peace of mind: By the way, do you know any reliable rental agencies in Beijing?
Wanshiwu·Li Xian: Of course there is?Xiaoyu, do you want to rent a house?Don't you live with Jingnian?Why rent a house.
Celebrating the New Year with peace of mind: My friend is renting a house, let me ask for help.
I don't know why I lied, after all, Si Jingnian always needs to know when he moves out.Besides, Si Jingnian didn't know that I added Li Xian, and Li Xian probably wouldn't tell Si Jingnian that I was looking for a house.
But I lied subconsciously.
Wanshiwu·Li Xian: Which area does your friend want to rent, I will find you a nearby intermediary.
Celebrate the New Year with peace of mind: it is near Tianjie International.
Wanshiwu·Li Xian: All right, wait for my good news.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I was sitting in the company and received a business card from Li Xian.
I added the other party first, and the other party agreed immediately, and then asked me about renting a house.
I told him by accident, I am busy now, so I will tell you tonight.
He said yes.
I didn't click on Kai Si Jingnian's WeChat, because she went to Yunshi for a business trip these two days.So I don't have to worry about her finding out that I had dinner with Li Xian.
For dinner with Li Xian, I chose an indoor barbecue restaurant, the location is very good.The price is a little expensive but acceptable.Next to the Jingjiang River, you can also look at the river view after eating.
When I arrived at the restaurant, there were already quite a few people. Fortunately, there were reservations in advance.
I have reserved a small private room.
Since she was inviting Si Jingnian's friends, she always felt that she had to be more serious, after all, her friends usually go to higher-end places.
When the waiter was pouring tea, Li Xian appeared.
He was wearing a black T-shirt and casual sweatpants, making him invisible in the crowd.
He smiled brightly at me and sat across from me.
"Xiaoyu knows a lot about food. My friend has recommended this restaurant before, but I have never been here."
"Hmm, of course. My childhood dream was to become a gourmet. The taste of this restaurant is very good."
"Hurry up and order first."
Li Xian's taste is pretty close to mine, and what I order is basically what I like.
We chatted while we waited for the grill.
"How was the chat with the agent?" He leaned back in his chair lazily and asked me.
"We haven't talked yet, I told him to talk to him when we have time tonight." After I said this, I felt something was wrong, Li Xian was trying to trick me.
I stared at him angrily. "You tell me what to say."
"Hahahaha, no no. I just lied to you casually. I didn't expect it to be true." Li Xian sat up from the lying position embarrassingly, with a flash of embarrassment on his face.
Excuse me, turning into a trace of inquiry again, he asked.
"Why do you want to move, Xiaoyu. Did something unhappy happen to Jingnian?"
How can anything unhappy happen, it's just that I am unilaterally unhappy and can't ask for it.
Of course I wouldn't say that, so I suppressed the disappointment on my face. "No... I just want to live by myself..."
"Really?" Li Xian had a look of disbelief.
I was a little flustered.
Even Li Xian can't be fooled by my clumsy lie, let alone Si Jingnian who I know very well?
I tried to round up my lies.
"It's true, I really want to live by myself and be independent."
"Then this will not delay Si Jingnian's work and love."
"You see, I live with her, and she is too embarrassed to ask her boyfriend to come."
"and……"
My words were interrupted by Li Xiansheng's voice as a female key, his voice was sharp and piercing. "What!! Jingnian has a boyfriend???"
I can see his expression. He looked serious before, but now he looks like the famous painting "The Scream", with his hands holding his cheeks.
"What's wrong? Can't she have a boyfriend?"
"How could it be? Jing Nian obviously likes..." He had a look of lovelessness on his face, as if his previous faith had collapsed.
"Eh? What does she obviously like?"
"Uh...no." He finally came to his senses after hearing my question.But the answer is still stuck.He was still shrouded in disbelief. "Who is her boyfriend????"
He had an unacceptable expression on his face.
I thought about it, Si Jingnian probably wouldn't mind letting her friends know about Yu'an's existence.
"It's called Yu'an."
"Have you seen it? What does it look like and what does it do? What is its height and family background?"
"..." This account was checked. "I haven't seen it before. He seems to be tall, right? 180+? Do you work in finance? Maybe?"
"Huh? You don't know anything. Then how do you know that he is Si Jingnian's boyfriend." Li Xian's expression returned to normal, and he was no longer shocked.He folded his hands on the table, frowning, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Jingnian told me, and they often chat on WeChat." I recalled Jingnian's happy expression chatting on WeChat. "And I can't even recognize the happy look on her face when she chatted with Yu An on WeChat."
"I chat almost every day. When Jingnian chatted with him, he was very talkative. It was completely different from usual." When I said this, I felt a little uncomfortable. When Si Jingnian and I were together, he didn't talk much. WeChat chat seems to always have endless topics to talk about.
People say that if a person who usually doesn't talk much becomes a chatterbox in front of someone, he must like him very much.
I can't compare Yu'an's position in her heart at all.
I bowed my head in a low mood.
"And Yu'an is at the top of her phone."
I clenched my fingers tightly, and each piece of evidence made my heart fall again and again, reaching the bottom.
Tears were almost spilled, I raised my head slightly, and blew into my eyes to keep my tears from dripping down.
"Is that so?" Li Xian's erratic voice came, and I didn't dare to look at his expression.I didn't dare to see if he looked at me.
I was afraid to see his gratified expression, and I was afraid that he would think that Si Jingnian had found a good home.
I'm also afraid that he will find out my thoughts, my thoughts about plotting against Si Jingnian.
I quickly wiped away my wet tears with my hands, and closed my eyes hard.
Then he showed a bright smile to Li. "In short, they are developing very well, and they like each other very much."
"So I thought I'd just take this opportunity to move out."
Li Xian didn't say much, and lowered his head to play with his phone for a while.
I thought he was going to ask Si Jingnian about Yu'an, so I didn't think much about it.
I was a little worried, although I felt that Si Jingnian should not mind her friend knowing about Yu An just now.But I did say it without her consent, which doesn't seem very good.
On the other hand, I don't know if Li Xian will tell Si Jingnian about my moving house, but it's really nothing, she always needs to know.
Thinking so, I opened the beer and started drinking.
Beer and skewers really go well together, but I might prefer Feizhai Happy Water with barbecue.
Li Xian chatted with me a few more things about their postgraduate days, and I asked him who Lan Yun was, seemingly unintentionally?
He asked me how I knew about Lan Yun?Could it be Si Jingnian right?
"When we were in the hotel last time, what did you say about Lan Yun complaining about Si Jingnian not going to your party?" I smoked the beer can and drank the last gulp.
"Oh, so I said it." Li Xian took a piece of pork belly and threw it into his mouth. He gave me a dark look. "What, are you jealous?"
My heart skipped a beat, I almost thought he knew my liking for Si Jingnian.
But on second thought, he might be talking about a girl's possessiveness towards her friends.
I eased my mind. "That's right, Si Jingnian made a good friend behind my back, can I not be jealous?"
He flipped through the tongue, then took a piece of tender tongue and handed it to me.
"Then you don't have to be jealous." He smacked his lips and looked at me narrowly. "They are not friends, they are lovers."
