Exclusive Memory Chapter 9 Part 5

 What I didn't expect was that he actually lived in the teacher's college of University A. The teacher's college is just across the street from the west gate of University A, and it is full of sycamore trees. When I was studying, I came in once. I only know that the yard was demolished a few years ago, some old buildings were demolished, and two elevator apartments .

Mu Chenghe didn't live in the newly built apartment, but in an old building behind.

The house is very spacious, especially the living room. So there is a large bar-shaped workbench in the free space behind the sofa. There are two notebooks on it, and a pile of books and a stack of papers are placed randomly next to the notebooks. The paperweight is a spectacle case.

It must be empty, because the black-rimmed glasses are on his nose.

"They used to tell me that these three buildings inside are old professorship at the national treasure level, and you can actually live here." It can be seen that it is also a giant panda.

"This house was allocated when my father used to teach."

"Ah?" I was curious, "Then why did you squeeze Teacher Chen before?"

Mu Chenghe glanced at me, and said to me with a serious expression: "Because this building is haunted, I dare not live alone."

My eyes widened and I didn't speak for a long time.

Then he gestured behind me with his eyes and said, "It is said that the man was hanged on the door frame behind you." Before he could finish his sentence, I jumped to his side, grabbed his sleeve, and stared at him. Looking at his door frame, I suddenly felt as if a gust of wind was blowing.

I didn't want to, but he suddenly smiled.

"Scared you."

He said again: "Didn't you just try to be brave? You made it sound like devils and snake gods have to go around when they see you. I made up a few words to scare you?" The smile at this moment has already spread to the tip of his brow.

I let go of his sleeve, "In the middle of the night, if you suddenly say that, people will be a little scared." And I never thought that he was in such a good mood suddenly that he could joke with me like this.

The room I slept in was next to his bedroom. According to Mu Chenghe himself, he slept on the small bed when he was a child, so there is only a mattress.

We made the bed, tidied up the house, and it was almost three o'clock in the morning.

I'm not even sure how I agreed to him when he said "Stay with me." Maybe my mood was really messed up at that time, my mind was muddled, and seeing him was like seeing a life-saving straw. Maybe it's because I never said no to anything he said to me in the past. Maybe I was really looking forward to it in my heart.

Although I was worried about these things in my heart, I slept steadily until the end of the day.

I picked up my phone and looked at the time, and I wanted to wail. So, quickly I get up and get dressed, brush my teeth and wash my face.

"So anxious?" Mu Chenghe put down the newspaper and asked.

"Yeah." I packed my handbags, "I have an appointment at ten o'clock for an interview. I'll be late soon."

"I'll get you milk."

"No, no, no."

"Do you want me to take you there?"

"I'll take the subway, I can get there directly." After speaking, I blew a gust of wind and flew out the door.

When I reached the corner of the stairs, Mu Chenghe quickly opened the door and called me, "Xue Tong!"

I turned around and looked at him suspiciously from eleven steps away.

He raised the thing in his hand, "Here you go." Then, gently with an arc, threw it to me accurately.

It was a portkey. Perhaps in order not to make it look too thin alone, he put it on a metal key ring and hung an extra doraemon.

I held it tightly in my hand and smiled at him.

The company I went to interview with was a real estate company, which was smaller than the one that dismissed me last time.

There are two interviewers sitting in the conference room, a man and a woman, the woman is older and the man is younger. Bai Lin told me yesterday that this company is a kind of family business, and under normal circumstances, the boss, manager, and accountant are all from his own family.

After asking some questions as usual, the male manager went through my resume again and said, "Do you speak Russian?"

"Russian is my second foreign language."

"Are you proficient?"

"It's okay." I said boldly.

"Then let me introduce myself in Russian."

After listening to the other party finish this sentence, I was dumbfounded on the spot. The employment teacher taught us to write all the characteristics that are related to ourselves as shining points. I just flashed a little, how come I'm going to break into the original shape so soon?

The Russian version of the self-recommended book was written by Mu Chenghe for me last year. I didn't deliberately recite it either.

"Can you?" the man asked again.

I was stuck on a tiger, and then I started to think about countermeasures.

"Да." I had an idea to say a word.

"What?" the man asked back, obviously not understanding.

"Can we start?" I immediately laughed.

The other party nodded.

Then I started to recite a very affectionate text taught by Mu Chenghe. I have a very good memory. After he said it, I usually can remember it pretty well after reading it several times.

The name of that article is "My Hometown-Beijing".

In order to enhance the credibility, I replaced all the words Beijing with City A.

"Мойроднойгород.Яродиласьивырославгороде…"

I went back and sat on the sofa, telling Mu Chenghe what happened during the day.

"And then?" he asked with interest.

"Then, after I finished memorizing it, he said to me, 'Your Russian is as fluent as your English', and informed me of the next retest." I giggled happily.

Mu Chenghe couldn't help but laugh too.

I looked at him sideways and found that he had been staring at me without speaking.

The gaze stopped for a long time, which inevitably made me feel strange, and I couldn't help but wipe my face, "I have something on my face?"

"No." He closed his lost eyes and turned his head away.

"Don't you believe it?" I said, "If you don't believe it, I'll show you the show again."

I moved a stool, sat directly opposite him, and performed the interview scene during the day, "Мойроднойгород.ЯродиласьивырославгородеА,вкоторомя провеласвоезолотоедетство.этогород..."

The corner of his mouth was raised slightly, and he read aloud with me halfway. After reciting the last line "Тамвсемнедорого." in unison, we both looked at each other and smiled.

I was worried that we would be awkward living under the same roof, but after memorizing that text, I suddenly became harmonious. At night, I lay in bed and recalled this scene, faintly feeling that there was something in my heart that I wanted to grasp, but I couldn't figure it out.

Mu Chenghe never mentioned Liu Qi, even the day he asked me to come to his house, he didn't even ask, until one afternoon during dinner, he suddenly said: "Don't all girls like shopping? It's rare to see you go out."

"It's hot outside," I said.

"You don't go out with Liu Qi either?" He asked casually with the vegetables in his hands.

"Uh..." I was stunned for a moment, buried my head and said in a low voice, "He's been transferred to the county." But I didn't tell him about breaking up with Liu Qi.

.

"Why didn't you tell him?" Bai Lin asked me.

"I feel like that's the only way to feel like we're equal," I said.

"How did you find a job?"

"It's so difficult. I can like it, but others can't like me. Others can like me, but I can't."

"Take your time, don't rush. There's a quote for you."

"What?"

"First start a family and then start a business."

"……You're boring."

"Don't you like it?" Bai Lin asked, "Then let's change the sentence: It's better to marry well than to do work well."

"..."

"There is one more thing to tell you."

"What?"

"Senior Brother said that he met Liu Qi on the street yesterday,"

"Oh."

"He saw Liu Qi walking with a woman." She glanced at me.

"Hmm."

"It feels quite intimate." She was afraid that I would not understand, and added.

"Well, that's good." I continued.

"You guys really broke up?" Bai Lin asked.

"Really."

"Didn't you say last time that he asked you to think about it for a month? It's not even a month yet."

"It's better this way, otherwise I feel guilty." I murmured.

After getting along with Mu Chenghe for real, I realized that I didn't know that he had so many habits.

For example, when he was doing things, he was basically 100% devoted. Sometimes, after talking to him for a long time, I found that he buried his head and didn't pay attention to me at all. It was a frustrating experience and it happened over and over again.

For example, he is very partial to food, but any dish with a little sweet taste will be favored by him.

He always works late into the night.

Occasionally, he would sit alone in the dark and not speak for a long time.

I met it a few times when I got up to go to the toilet alone in a daze.

For the first time, I saw the dark shadow on the sofa and turned on the light suspiciously. The light shone on his face suddenly, and he looked so lonely all of a sudden, completely different from Mu Chenghe, who was always smiling all the time, like a disturbed little animal, with a flash of panic in his expression, but in an instant it was back to normal.

Since then, I have never dared to turn on the light abruptly.

Later, we watched a movie on the movie channel at home. In the movie, I pointed to the laughing Johnny Dipper and said, "Why do some people look different from their real selves?"

He stared at the screen without speaking.

The scene of the movie switches between the vast sea and the clear blue sky.

"Xue Tong, do you like the sea?" He asked.

"I like it."

"You look at the sea, no matter how deep it is, but it always looks calm on the surface." Mu Chenghe said, "What is deeper than the sea is the heart of man. Sometimes smiling does not mean that you are not in pain, fear, or despair.”

I'm pointing at him.

And he was pointing at me.

Suddenly, I understood that Mu Chenghe and I might be the same kind of people in our hearts. That's why he's so attractive to me.

Maybe --

I thought, maybe that's what makes me attract him too?
