In the darkness, I came to the community where I had lived for more than two years. Penelope's purple Q7 was parked downstairs in the community. She had already arrived before me.
I whistled and went upstairs. The sensor lights came on one after another along the way. Under the light, the corridor looked even more dilapidated. This kind of dilapidation made me more and more puzzled. I always couldn't figure out why Penelope wanted to live there. Here, I had nowhere to go and had to stay in Hayden's den.
I knocked on the door and Penelope opened the door for me, dressed neatly. I immediately complained: "I'm exhausted."
"Then go and do it quickly. After you're done, go back and rest."Penelope said in a very caring tone.
I glanced at her dissatisfied and said, "You are very beautiful, but your emotional intelligence is really lacking. I said I was tired because I wanted you to pour me a glass of hot water."
"I haven't been able to stay here for several days. Where can I find hot water?"
"There is an electric kettle and a gas stove at home. If there is no hot water, just boil it. By the way, I like wolfberry lemon tea. Last time I moved, I didn't take the wolfberry and lemon with me. Now you can make it for me." I said and sat down on the sofa, crossed my legs, took out the tangerines in the fruit bowl and started eating them.
Penelope looked ugly, but she still went to the kitchen to get water, plugged in the electric kettle and started boiling it. She stood opposite the sofa and looked at me with some resentment.
I felt proud that if I didn't take advantage of her at this moment, when she finished using me, she might choke me to death with vicious words.
"This tangerine is really good, where did you buy it?" I said and peeled another orange.
"You can take it back and eat it if you like it, but can you please help me get down to business first?"
I replied without any rush: "Last time I thought your cherries were good, so you let me take them back. This time, I thought your tangerines were good, so you let me take them back. Is everything in this house as long as I can take whatever I like with me."
"In principle, I can't care less about people like you, because you are surprisingly thick-skinned."Penelope said to me patiently.
I smiled and continued: "Then I like you very much, so you can come with me tonight."
Penelope's face suddenly turned gloomy, she glared at me and said, "Please don't say the things you would say to every woman in front of me, I will think you are very shameless."
I still said calmly: "I'm just following your logic. Why are you so shameless? If you don't want to, I just don't like you."
Penelope looked at the water that was almost boiling. Her expression made her want to put me into the kettle.
My heart was filled with joy. Among the many verbal disputes between Penelope and I, this was the first time that I had the upper hand. This feeling of regaining the city was really exciting. I was so proud that I couldn't help humming. The song "The New Tenant" by Faye Wong.
"Waiting for the night, welcoming the day, cleaning during the day, praying at night, leaving the hustle and bustle, looking for troubles, to the ends of the world, on a whim, is anyone there, who is looking for me, I say hello, you say bother me, never too late, not too early, thousands of miles away"
Penelope stared at me until I finished singing, but she was helpless. Of course she was helpless because she didn't dare to be as shameless as me.
I said to Penelope again: "Do you know what song I just sang?"
Without waiting for Penelope to answer, she rushed to ask and answer herself, saying: "You are Faye Wong's new tenant. Do you think the lyrics are about the relationship between the two of us?"
Still not waiting for Penelope response, she rushed to analyze and said: "I wait in this house every day for the night, greet the day, clean during the day, and pray at night. One day you moved in here on a whim, and I, the landlord, have no respect for your new house. The guest said: Hello, but you said to me: Excuse me and then kicked me out of the house."
Penelope sighed for a while and said: "You are really good at making connections."
"This is not a legend, it is a real, tragic story that happened not long ago." I stood up from the sofa in grievance and glared at Penelope.
Penelope didn't respond to my words. She looked at the boiling water and said, "I'm going to bring water. Where did you put the lemon slices and wolfberries?"
"Next to the toilet in the bathroom." I said angrily, but it was just to disgust Penelope. After analyzing it just now, I felt that I had been greatly wronged.
As expected, Penelope had a disgusting expression on her face, but she also knew that I did it on purpose, so she said with a sullen face: "If you don't tell me, forget it, you can soak it yourself."
"You are so principled. If you promised to help me make tea, you will definitely make it." I took the opportunity to ridicule Penelope's principle.
Penelope finally spoke angrily: "But did you really put lemons and wolfberries next to the toilet in the bathroom?"
"You should ask the cockroaches in the bathroom. They must know where they live and whether they have been removed."
Penelope was furious and said, "If you don't drink, I'll do it." Then he walked into his room and didn't want to say another word to me.
I sang the song "New Tenant" to Penelope's room as if I was successful.
Finally, I went to the room where I used to live and found lemons and wolfberries. I made a cup of it with boiling water and sat on the sofa to drink it. Life was so beautiful in an instant.
After drinking a cup of tea, I wanted to go to the bathroom to help Penelope clean up the cockroach corpses, but the phone suddenly rang. I looked at the number and it was Hayden calling me.
I answered the call, but it was a woman's voice. She said to me: "You are Maxwell, right?"
"Who are you? How do you use Hayden's phone?" I asked in confusion.
"Lily, the same Lily from last time."
"Oh, is something wrong?"
Lily said to me in a negotiating tone: "Hayden went downstairs to buy cigarettes. I called you to ask you not to come back tonight. I want to spend the night here with Hayden."
I was a little embarrassed, but I had already ruined Lily affairs once before. It was a bit unjustifiable to do it again. After a while, I finally said to Lily, "Okay, I won't go back tonight."
Lily's words suddenly became happy, and she warned me: "Then you will call Hayden later to tell him that you are not coming back."
"no problem."
"Remember, don't tell Hayden that I called you not to come back."Lily warned again.
"Well, I just said I won't go back tonight if I have something to do."
"Maxwell, you're so nice. I'll treat you to dinner another day when I'm free."Lily said and hung up the phone with joy, but I forgot to remind her to give me back the 100 yuan she took from me last time. .
After finishing the call with Lily, I was troubled again. If I didn't go back to Hayden place to stay tonight, where else could I spend the night?
Worrying that I had nowhere to stay, I went to the bathroom to help Penelope clean up the corpses of cockroaches. In fact, there were not many of them, because the insecticide last time had no effect at all. It took me a long time to find them behind the toilet. A cockroach that is not completely dead, but this one is enough for me to deal with Penelope with peace of mind.
I wrapped the cockroach in toilet paper and stuffed some cigarette butts into it to serve as the cockroach's body. Then I came to the door of Penelope's room, knocked on the door and said, "I have cleaned up all the cockroach bodies. I used toilet paper." It’s wrapped, do you want to come out and check it out? That pesticide is really not effective.”
I'm not writing books very fast, and I don't have much manuscripts on hand anymore. I'll resume writing at my normal speed from tomorrow to two updates.
Of course, there will be more updates from time to time. Three updates completed today
Don’t forget to submit flowers. When there is a flower update event, the maximum number you receive in a day is nearly 1,400. When there are no flowers, it instantly drops to 900. Friends, don’t you think it’s such a pain in the ass?
Do you still remember the last book? Is there a girl in my rap bar who fits the image of Chen Qingyi? For this book, she specially helped us record a song about the new tenant mentioned in the book. She helped record it a long time ago. You can listen to it. one time.
Download the song on your mobile phone and search for avas to find her. The song "New Tenant" is a bit out of tune, but I like it very much, and the girl Avas sings it very well. This is a benefit to everyone, and it also urges her to record new songs. :
