Chapter 27 Section VI

In the morning, when Yu Kailin went out, she judged that Wei Jun should get up.She walked over and knocked lightly on the door next door. After a while, Wei Jun opened the door, and seeing Yu Kailin, she smiled and said, "Good morning, Kailin." "Good morning, Miss Juan, I didn't disturb your sleep, did I?" "No, I'm always an early riser. Anything?" "Well...it's nothing, Miss Juan, I just want to tell you...I'm sorry." Yu Kailin said with an apologetic expression. "What's the matter?" Wei Jun didn't seem to understand at all. "Why are you apologizing?"

"It happened last night. I thought about it, I was so stubborn... You invited me to drink tea with your kind intentions, but I didn't appreciate it..." Wei Jun looked at Yu Kailin, as if it took him a long time to understand what she meant.She laughed loudly: "So that's why? I thought it was something—hey, don't worry about it, what's the matter!" Yu Kailin also laughed. "Sister Juan, it's good that you're not angry with me." Wei Jun lightly slapped Yu Kailin on the shoulder reproachfully. "I'm not as stingy as you think! We are neighbors and friends, so we should understand each other."

"Yes, you are quite right." Yu Kailin smiled. "Then... Miss Juan, I'm off to work." "Oh, okay—by the way, have you had breakfast? I'm steaming buns. You can eat two." "No need, Miss Juan, I bought bread and milk, and I ate them just now." Yu Kailin waved to Wei Jun and walked towards the stairs. "Let's go, goodbye!" Wei Jun also waved to Yu Kailin and watched her go downstairs.Then she turned and went back into the house, closing the door behind her. She walked into the kitchen and continued what she was doing just now—wiping off the remaining blood on the chopping board with a rag, and then rinsed the blood off the kitchen knife.

In a large bowl next to the chopping board, there is a bowl of diced meat, which is the leftover material for stuffing the buns. Wei Jun uncovered the steaming steamer. There were six or seven big buns inside. She picked up the buns with chopsticks and put them on a plate. After cooling down for a while, she picked up a bun with her hand, brought it to her mouth, took a bite, and savored it carefully.After more than ten seconds, she slowly shook her head and threw the bun into the trash can. Then, she picked up the big bowl of diced meat on the stove, walked into the bathroom, poured all the diced meat into the sewer, and flushed it for several minutes.

She sighed deeply, looking disappointed. When Yu Kailin came to the company, she was stunned as soon as she walked to her work position. On her desk, there is a large bouquet of beautifully packaged and delicate yellow roses.Seeing her coming, the female colleague next to her said enviously, "Yu Kailin, your boyfriend is so kind. He sent you flowers early in the morning. How romantic it is." Yu Kailin smiled at her, then picked up the flower and looked at the card hanging on it.With just a slight glance, the card was crumpled into a ball. Immediately, this bouquet of roses was inserted in the trash can in the company's corridor.

When it was time for lunch, Yu Kailin was afraid that that annoying guy would appear at the gate again, so she directly dragged Meng Xiaoxue through the back passage. Sitting in a small restaurant, Yu Kailin and Meng Xiaoxue ordered one meat, two vegetables and one soup, chatted and waited for the food to be served. "What a pity." Yu Xiaoxue shook her head and said regretfully. "What's the pity?" Yu Kailin asked. "That bouquet of yellow roses. You're the one to decorate the trash can with such a beautiful flower." Yu Kailin smiled and said, "I knew you liked it, so I gave it to you and took it home."

"Forget it. That means I accepted the flowers from Li Xin. What's the matter?" The smile on Yu Kailin's face disappeared. "Xiaoxue, from now on...don't mention Li Xin in front of me." Meng Xiaoxue looked at her. "Sister Kailin, what happened to you and him? I'll just ask this once, and I won't mention him in the future." Yu Kailin was silent for a long time. "He's behind my back, with other women..." "I guessed that's what happened!" Meng Xiaoxue said angrily, "Men are like this, gossip! After the Dongchuang incident happened, they tried their best to make up for it, in order to win your heart-in fact, who knows if it's hypocrisy? !"

Yu Kailin remained silent, as if Meng Xiaoxue's words had touched a sore spot in her heart. The outspoken Meng Xiaoxue seemed to be aware of this. She quickly changed the subject and comforted her: "However, men are always confused. If he knows his mistakes, he will correct them. I promise there will be no next time. Forgiving him once is also a consideration." Yes. Judging from Li Xin's actions, he may really be determined to change his past..." Yu Kailin interrupted Meng Xiaoxue: "Stop talking, Xiaoxue. You don't know the specifics. He's not dating any ordinary woman, but..."

Having said that, she couldn't go on any longer, and raised her hand to cover her mouth with an expression of extreme disgust on her face. Meng Xiaoxue felt that something was wrong.Tentatively asked: "What is it?" Yu Kailin turned her head aside and took a deep breath. "Forget it, I really don't want to talk about it. Xiaoxue, don't ask any more." The tone was very strong, and there was no room for negotiation. Although Meng Xiaoxue really wanted to find out, she couldn't force it, so she had to give up. At this time, the dishes they ordered came out, and after filling the bowls, the two began to eat.

Halfway through eating.Yu Kailin suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Xiaoxue, do you know if there has been a murder case in our city recently?" Meng Xiaoxue almost choked on the piece of meat in her mouth. "Sister Kailin, can you stop talking about such things during dinner!" She frowned. "Ah, I'm sorry. I wanted to ask you yesterday, but then I got busy and forgot." Meng Xiaoxue put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "Where did you find out? In the papers?" Yu Kailin shook her head. "No, it was Li Xin who told me yesterday. He wanted to use this as an excuse to tell me to go back and live with him, but I didn't really believe it, and thought he might be bluffing me—why, did such a thing really happen?"

Meng Xiaoxue lowered her gaze, and after a while, she raised her head and stared at Yu Kailin. "Sister Kailin, actually, I wanted to tell you about it the day you rented the house... But I was afraid of scaring you, so I didn't say it explicitly, but just reminded you to be safe." "You already knew?" Yu Kailin asked in surprise, "Why didn't I hear about this before?" "I also heard from a friend at the rented house. She saw it in another friend's newspaper. But this incident may have been controlled by the government or the police. It is said that the newspaper that reported the incident They were all recalled on the same day, and then all related news and posts on the Internet were also deleted—perhaps because they were afraid of causing panic among citizens, or having a bad impact on our city’s image.” Yu Kailin said dully, "No wonder I don't know at all..." She suddenly asked eagerly, "I heard that the one who was killed was a single woman from out of town. Is this true?" Meng Xiaoxue thought about it. "I've never heard of that, but it's certainly possible." Yu Kailin covered her mouth with a look of fear. Meng Xiaoxue said: "Sister Kailin. I heard that the police haven't caught the murderer yet, and the newspaper said that the murderer may continue to commit crimes, reminding everyone to pay attention to safety. I think...you are living outside alone. It's quite disturbing. Otherwise, you can hold your breath, listen to Li Xin, and go back to live with him." Yu Kailin shook her head decisively. "That's impossible—isn't that just in his favor? He told me that's the purpose of this matter, and I won't let him succeed so easily." Meng Xiaoxue stared at Yu Kailin and smiled slightly. "Actually, I can see that you still love him." Yu Kailin's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle, and it throbbed faintly.But she immediately denied it: "Don't talk nonsense, I made up my mind to break up with him, it's definitely not a joke!" "But people's mentality will slowly change over time. Besides, although some people are hateful, if you really lose them, you will feel..." "Okay, Xiaoxue, don't talk about this." Yu Kailin cut off the conversation, and gestured for Meng Xiaoxue to stop talking. Meng Xiaoxue shrugged her shoulders and changed the subject. "What about where you live now?" “The house is still pretty good, and the rent is reasonable.” "But you are alone after all. Unlike me, you and your friends can take care of each other." Meng Xiaoxue is now sharing a house with a few friends she knows. Compared with Yu Kailin, the situation is slightly better. "What can I do?" Yu Kailin sighed and pondered for a while. "However, I can't be completely alone... At least there is a landlord who lives next to me as a neighbor, so we can take care of each other when necessary." "Is that the unmarried girl in her forties you mentioned?" Meng Xiaoxue couldn't help laughing. "What is she like?" "It's okay, it's very enthusiastic. It's just that the taste of food is a bit weird, and...sometimes, it's a bit too enthusiastic." Yu Kailin told Meng Xiaoxue about drinking tea at Wei Jun's house last night. "Ah? Isn't she too strong?" Meng Xiaoxue frowned. "How can she force others to try those strange flavors?" "Forget it, I thought about it later, and she didn't mean anything malicious. She regarded me as a friend, that's why she did it." "I can't stand being friends with this kind of person." Meng Xiaoxue said, sticking out her tongue. After a moment of silence, Yu Kailin said, "By the way, I found that she still seems to have some quirks." "What quirk?" "At 11:30 last night, I heard the sound of running from the next door, and I have been running for more than half an hour." "Run before going to bed?" Meng Xiaoxue opened her mouth wide in surprise. "That will excite the nerves, can you still sleep?" "Isn't it? I think so too, who would run at such a late hour." "Didn't you ask her what's going on?" "I didn't ask. I think it's someone else's business, and I don't care about it." "I didn't ask you to interfere with her. Didn't you say that she really wants to be your friend? You just tell her as a friend that exercising before going to bed is not good for your health, but harmful--this can be natural. Talk to her about it." "You still have an idea." Yu Kailin said, "I will tell her like this next time." Meng Xiaoxue looked at the unfinished meal. "Look, we have a good lunch, but we are talking about these topics, can we still eat now?" "Blame me." Yu Kailin laughed. "I'll treat you to a good meal next time." As she spoke, she greeted the waiter. "Buy the bill." The two left the small restaurant and walked silently on the road for several minutes without speaking to each other, as if they were both thinking about something. Suddenly, Meng Xiaoxue said abruptly: "Sister Kailin, I think...the landlady next door to you may not be an ordinary person." Yu Kailin stopped in her tracks. "What do you mean? She is not an ordinary person, who is she?" Meng Xiaoxue hesitated and said, "I mean, she might be the kind...somewhat abnormal." "Why do you feel that way?" "Think about it, she is in her forties and is still not married: she likes those weird flavors, and forces others to try: running at night—these things make her look a little abnormal." Yu Kailin thought about it and said, "I don't think...it's as serious as you said. I don't think she's weird enough to be abnormal." "Anyway, let me remind you that this kind of single old girl with weird hobbies is often a little paranoid and prone to extreme behavior. If you don't mess with her, it may be okay: but if one day, you offend her and say Maybe she will do something that you don't expect." At this moment, Yu Kailin remembered that when Wei Jun first went to rent the house, Wei Jun was cold to the couple, but when facing herself, he quickly became very enthusiastic again. The change in attitude was really great.She suddenly became uneasy: "Xiaoxue, don't scare me by saying these words." Meng Xiaoxue seemed a little embarrassed: "Sister Kailin, I also know that you are living outside alone and you are neighbors with this landlord. You shouldn't have said these things to make you feel uncomfortable. But... I really That's how it feels. And you don't know—my instincts are far better than the average person's." "Okay, stop talking about this." Yu Kailin didn't want to continue talking about this topic. "Anyway, I'll pay attention."
