Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Please Recycle Empty Cans

After sending Xiaotu and Gao Qian home, the senior and I returned to the senior's residence, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. The reason why I didn't go back to my residence but went home with Senior Piaopao was actually to borrow the bathroom.My place was an old wooden stucco apartment with no bathroom. I used to go to the nearby public bathhouse to take a bath. Since I borrowed the bathroom of the senior's house, Bina has developed a habit because it is too comfortable; now the senior's house even has my bath products. Senior Floating didn't care about my brazen behavior at all, and even welcomed the junior to come and go frequently in his home.

Although he has not publicly declared it, he seems to be pursuing the primitive communism of 'what belongs to my younger siblings is mine, and what is mine is to my younger siblings'; Ordinarily, his habits should be criticized, but he is unexpectedly popular on campus, and it is also for this reason.He does not repay the money, but he does not pursue the loaned money, and often forgets it completely; this wonderful balance makes him an unlovable character. "You start first!" After leaving this sentence, the senior hung the towel around his neck and walked to the bathroom.The so-called 'first start' naturally refers to starting to drink.

Although it is not as good as the mysterious villa on the R plateau, the house of senior drifter is also a "house of beer"; in order to handle any number of guests at any time (to put it directly, it is to hold a banquet ), there are all kinds of beer here, and it is in boxes. The senior asked me to drink first, but I endured it; since I want to drink, of course I have a drink after I take a shower! "—It's you." It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening when the senior came out of the bath.The senior who has always been like a crow playing in the water, this time he has been in prison for quite a long time; it turned out that he fell asleep after soaking in the bathroom.

I was surprised at the time, I didn't expect that I would repeat the mistakes of my seniors, it seems that there is a lot of fatigue accumulated in my body.As a result, I soaked in the bath for nearly an hour, and my body became swollen. That's all right, when I stepped out of the bathroom, I bumped into Gao Qian; I was shocked, screaming and leaning back. "—Your appearance is really annoying!" Seeing me with only a towel around my lower body, Gao Qian picked up the kitchen knife in his hand and stabbed my bare chest. This behavior is extremely harmful to the heart.Even though I knew that Gao Qian was just putting on a show, I had the illusion of being stabbed when I was stared at by her blue eyes.

I suddenly recalled the suspense series I watched before; the husband took a shower at his mistress’s house, and with a scarf around his waist, he walked out of the bathroom humming a song, and in front of him was his wife holding a kitchen knife... Then there was the mistress’ screams and Pupil close-up—— "High..." I expelled the bloody association from my mind and adjusted my breath. "Gao Qian, what are you doing here?" "What do I look like?" If you look closely, it is indeed an extra question.The door of the bathroom was right next to the kitchen, and she was standing in the kitchen with a kitchen knife, naturally cooking.Of course, the premise is that she didn't give me a knife just to wait for me to come out.

"When did you come?" "Just now." "What's going on? Could it be that the senior has some problems again, such as asking you to come over and cook immediately—" "How is it possible? Even if he asks for such an unreasonable request, do you think I will obey it obediently?" "Well..." I don't know what action she will take when she gets angry; but at least she won't face the cutting board so calmly. "makes sense." "So, it's all out of my own consciousness." "Huh..." I put on my shirt and looked around. "Where's the senior?"

"I went shopping in the supermarket with Xiaotu." "Huh? The little rabbit is here too?" "Of course! She is as impatient as I am!" "Can't wait for what?" "Aren't you curious, Mr. Carpenter?" Takachi stopped chopping vegetables and turned to me. "That villa!" She was wearing a plain sarong apron I had never seen before; Senior Piao Pao's taste was not so elegant, it must have been Gao Qian's own.In the middle of the night, she came to the door with her own apron. It can be seen how aggressive she is, which made me feel daunted.

"Of course I'm curious..." No wonder. ——After that, we took advantage of the unlocked "Second Villa" in front of us and invaded it; for two consecutive days trespassing on private houses, it seems that our moral concepts have been exhausted. Although it is not as novel and beautiful as the 'First Villa', there is nothing in the house, not even a piece of furniture can be seen. The two villas are only different in appearance design and room layout, and the rest are eerily similar.Not only is there a lack of curtains and household appliances, the room on the first floor has a single bed like an island in the South China Sea, and the toilet next to the room also has a little toilet paper indistinctly.Not only that, but the pillowcases, sheets, and quilts are exactly the same as the 'First Villa', and the room with the bed is also facing the road.

There is also a refrigerator.Sure enough, there is a refrigerator here, and it is also located in the room on the second floor closest to the stairs, and it is placed in the closet as if deliberately hidden. This is not a wardrobe room, but an ordinary double-open wardrobe; but the refrigerator inside is the same color and size as the 'First Villa', and both are double-door style.There are still cold beer glasses in the freezer, and there is a lot of Yebisu beer in the freezer, and even the door shelf and the fruit and vegetable room are crammed with water. The uncorkable beer is packed in cardboard boxes and placed in the wardrobe; one box is unopened, the other is opened, and only half is left.The appearance of the two boxes stacked is exactly the same.

However, there are exceptions—— Yes, even if it's a small one, there's a difference here from 'Villa No. 1'.Of course, we don't understand the meaning of this difference at all, or whether it has any meaning at all; it's just that no matter how subtle and inconspicuous the difference is, it seems extremely mysterious and meaningful at this moment. Which just goes to show how eerily similar the two villas are. As for the new "Second Beer House", I am naturally curious, and I can even say that I am almost overwhelmed by curiosity.but-- "Are you going to stay up all night discussing?"

"Of course!" "Are you serious?" "Anyway, you haven't had dinner yet, right? It's time to talk while eating." "I understand how you feel, but you're so tired, don't be in a hurry—" "Oh, it's fine for Carpenter to sleep! It's just that we won't tell you when we have a conclusion." "Too, too cruel!" "If you don't want to do this, discuss it with us." "Okay! Speaking of which... Where did your enthusiasm come from?" "what?" "I didn't expect..." Maybe because I just got out of the bath and my mind was relaxed, my tongue actually started to speak words that I would never say normally. "Gao Qian would love to play this 'game'." "The game you're talking about, do you mean talking on paper?" "Yes! I don't know if it is appropriate to use the word 'game' to describe it?" "I wasn't born to like it either." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gao Qian's tone suddenly felt lonely. "What do you mean?" For some reason, I always have a feeling that I want to know, and I would never ask further questions in normal times. "that is--" At this time, the entrance door opened, and the sound of the senior's gong and the little rabbit's sweet voice came at the same time, so unfortunately, I didn't hear Gao Qian's answer. "Oh! Carpenter, are you finally out? I thought you drowned in the bathtub!" "I accidentally fell asleep." "It's so rambling." Don't you yourself sleep soundly in the bathtub?I said something in my heart, I didn't expect that even Xiaotu would agree. "Cheer up! Carpenter, the show is about to begin! The night is still long!" "Little rabbit, aren't you tired?" "Energetic! After we had lunch, didn't we already sleep well!" "On the sofa in the lobby of the National Hotel? Is that so? I didn't sleep very well. I didn't get enough sleep." "I didn't expect you to be quite neurotic." I don't think I'm nervous, but Xiaotu's nerves are as big as a submarine cable.In a word, everyone should be young and strong, able to endure hard work; of course, I can barely be regarded as a young man. "I'm so looking forward to it!" Senior Piaopao happily prepared a beer mug. "I've never eaten food made by Gao Qian himself!" That's true.In the past, she came over to buy vegetables and said she would cook for us, but she didn't do it in the end; because something offended her. For a moment, I couldn't help wondering if Gao Qian really knew how to cook?It's a bit strange to describe it with the word "not tied", but the combination of her and cooking always makes people feel that it is difficult to establish.According to the formula of manga or series, the dishes cooked by beauties can fall into the following two situations——exceptionally delicious, or extremely unpalatable. Half expectant, half restless waited for a while, and the dishes began to arrive on the table; there was no shortage of frying, frying and deep frying, and every dish had its own appearance-there were no chemical experiments in it, right? I tried a bite.Quite a surprise; as the taste is unusually light and totally different from the formula I predicted.Maybe it's because I'm used to eating heavy-tasting food such as student restaurants and fast food, so I can't help but want to pour a lot of sauce. Of course, doing so will definitely attract Gao Qian's eyes, and the senior next to me is eating with gusto and full of praise, so I have no choice but to keep silent and eat obediently.Unbelievably, I felt that the more I ate these dishes, the more they tasted. "Hey, the sauce!" Senior Piao Pao had already eaten his fill of food, picking his teeth contentedly. "You wash the dishes!" "Huh? Shall I wash?" "Of course! The food is cooked by Gao Qian. Apart from being an assistant, Xiaotu also went to buy materials with me, but you didn't do anything; at least you should contribute your labor and clean up the aftermath!" So, when my hands were full of dishwashing liquid foam, the three of them had moved to the Japanese room next to the kitchen, and had a quick discussion. "—First of all, it is certain that this is definitely not a coincidence." The senior drifted neatly prepared ice cubes and ice buckets, and made thin wine for the girls.Regardless of his virtue, he is not sloppy in doing things. As for himself, of course it was beer, and he chose Yebisu without hesitation among the various brands in stock.It is an adventure, or should we call it fate, that a man who never forgets beer when he eats his fill will come across that wonderful villa.Senior Piaopao is so keen on the mystery of the beer bungalow, it is as natural as a cat biting a dried fish. Of course, the desire to get in touch with different Gaoqian-this kind of state of mind should also have an influence. "Not only beer, but also the pillowcases and sheets used for the single beds on the first floor are the same as those in the first villa, and they are the same animal patterns; in addition, there is a small amount of toilet paper that is difficult to find without opening the top cover. There is so much in common, it can never be a coincidence, it must be deliberately caused for a reason." "The question is what is the intention. Why are both villas made like that?" "If the second child is in a normal state, Gao Qian's assumption is valid." Although I couldn't see it at the counter, I could guess that she was drinking water and wine when I heard the impact of ice cubes covering Xiaotu's regretful voice. The second child that Xiaotu mentioned naturally refers to the villa that appeared later; so, the villa where we spent the night is the eldest?I don't know when the three of them decided to use this code name to call the villa. No wonder Xiaotu was so emotional.Next, please be patient and follow me to repeat Gao Qian's assumption and discuss its correctness. First of all, last night's 'move' wasn't done; that's an indisputable truth, and those of us who spent the night at the Boss know it best. There is nothing inconceivable about the temporary suspension of the 'moving' plan, but a natural result.Gao Qian's hypothesis can only be established if it is connected with the collision accident; and the truck that caused the accident broke the basket last night, so naturally he didn't care about moving.Indeed, judging from the size of the villa, the moving truck should not be the one that caused the accident; other vehicles can also leave the lead truck and continue to move. However, at this time, it was the private car that the 'enemy' was riding in.Under the influence of the car accident, the father should have no psychological discipline plan; in this case, the grandfather does not have to reluctantly implement the "moving operation" for counterattack. As a matter of course, the employees don't have to move the furniture out of the second child, even if it has been moved out, they will put it back at home; otherwise, there should be trucks loaded with furniture parked around the second child.But in fact, there is nothing in the second child, except for the bed, there is no furniture; and there are no furniture-loading trucks waiting around. In contrast, there is an extra 'beer house'.With the development of the matter so far, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn - Gao Qian's assumption is not correct. Although her hypothesis was incorrect, it produced a surprising by-product; there was actually another villa in the location she deduced!Of course, this is just a pure coincidence; but this accidentally discovered villa is also a mysterious "beer house", but it is a coincidence that is too wonderful.Even though the hypothesis itself is wrong, it has led us to discover important 'evidence'; in this regard, Gao Qian's inference can be said to be 'hit on the heart'. Perhaps it was for this reason that Gao Qian did not feel sorry for the wrong assumption at all, but was excited by the new progress of the puzzle. Gao Qian is really different... I can't help but think so. No, she is different from the beginning, she is a woman who works with the word weird; she always has a beautiful face indifferently, as if saying "please be good, or give me death"; she is only addicted to this kind of irrelevant logic game Only when she was young, would she shine with a defenseless light like ordinary college girls, which is really incredible. "—There are two villas, so I don't know where to start the discussion!" On the other hand, the attitude of Senior Floating is the opposite of the dialogue, and there is no sense of powerlessness at all.He had just eaten the food cooked by Gao Qian himself, and he was full of vigor and energy; let alone two buildings, even if it was three or four buildings, he felt free to come here. "For example, is it the same person who made the two houses like that? This question also involves whether the owners of the two villas are the same, but there is no house number on the two villas, so we cannot judge." "If the owner of the house is different, it is to clear the house separately—" Gao Qian's voice did not show any trace of fatigue. She should have taken a shower and changed her clothes when she got home, looking refreshed. "Even if they are emptied separately, another question will arise: Is it a unilateral imitation, or did the two parties agree to do so?" "What a problem! Well, where do we start our attack? There must be a starting point!" "I think it should start from the difference." Of course, the little rabbit is also in high spirits.Is she interested in solving puzzles? For her, talking with everyone all night is what interests her. I seem to be the only one who is tired, and maybe I will really doze off halfway.Gao Qian has already stated that if I fall asleep, she will not tell me the conclusion; and from past experience, I know she is not joking.Looks like I'll have to fight Sandman hard.Well, where is the coffee? "What are the differences?" "First of all, the design of the house is different, and the wardrobe that hides the refrigerator is also different. The second is a separate wardrobe instead of a wardrobe room." "But, that's when—" Senior Piaopao originally wanted to say 'of course', but felt that he should correct it fundamentally, so he changed his words and said, "But, it's the room closest to the stairs! This is because the location of the room is important. The result of more wardrobe types is not so much a difference as a commonality.” "As far as the point 'closest to the stairs' is concerned, it is true... Oh, listen to me first! I mean, it is an indisputable fact that the design and layout of the two villas are different; There is a lot of room for discussion. If you want to make the design and layout exactly the same, you can start planning at the initial stage of construction! If you don’t do this, it means that the purpose can be fully achieved by using the existing house—right? ?” "Hey, hey, the scale of those two villas is so big, planning should start at the initial stage of construction? This is no longer a matter of trouble or trouble, it is simply unrealistic!" "That's right, that's why I said that! The most perfect state is naturally to make the two houses exactly the same; but it is too impractical to rebuild one or both of them for this purpose, so let's use the existing villa Just make do with it. The reason why I dare to do this is because the house owner judges that it should be able to make do with it." "You speak very clearly, but I hear it very vaguely. Putting nothing else aside, what is your purpose?" "Huh? The purpose needs to be discussed with everyone!" "Also, from your tone, it seems that the owner of the two villas is the same, or they are different but agree to clear the villa; what is your basis?" "Okay, these details will be discussed slowly later." Gao Qian still planned to calmly play the host role tonight. "In short, let's list all the differences between the two villas first. The first is the design and layout of the house, and what else?" "The boss' entrance is locked, but the second one is not." "Yes, there is a difference in location—this sentence seems to be complete nonsense?" "Take it into consideration! After all, we're completely clueless at the moment—that's probably all? Is there anything else?" "You guys forgot the most important point." I finally finished washing all the dishes and came to the Japanese room. "The numbers are also different!" I got myself a drinking glass and poured Yebisu beer.It was only then that I remembered that I had missed the after-bath wine; I hadn't had it at dinner either. As mentioned earlier, I usually don't eat when I drink; once I start eating, I stop drinking.This is not because eating and drinking is detrimental to the taste, as some alcoholics claim, it is just a natural habit. Especially tonight, in order to savor the mystery of Gaoqian cuisine, I tried my best to mobilize my clumsy taste buds, and I left the existence of beer in the sky.Although I am not as senior as Piao Pao, I am also a person who cannot live without alcohol; therefore, when I saw the amber foam that was finally in my mouth, I was in a daze. I raised my glass, and was about to shout a toast, when suddenly I froze; for the other three were all staring at me in silence. "Why..." I couldn't help but leaned back, almost knocking over the beer, scaring myself. "What's wrong? Why are you reacting like this?" "Carpenter," Senior Piao Pao's expression was inexplicably frightening. "What did you say?" "Huh?" I panicked and forgot all about it. "Did I say something?" "The difference!" Gao Qian interrupted the senior who was yelling at idiots. "The difference between the two villas." "Ah... oh, yes." "I asked if there was any difference besides the design, the lock and the location? You just say—" "Oh, yes, I remembered. Numbers!" "Yes, numbers. What do you mean by numbers?" "What do you mean...?" Seeing the three of them staring straight at me, I was extremely confused, feeling like I was being blamed for making a mistake. "It's the number of beers! The number of cans of Yebisu beer." "Jiang Zai, don't you..." This is the first time I have seen Gao Qian who is so defenseless and dumbfounded. "Counted?" "Huh? Ah? Haven't you counted them? The boss has ninety-six cans of beer on ice and without ice, but the second child only has ninety-five cans! Have you really not counted them?"
