Chapter 29 Section VIII

Yu Kailin used to look forward to leaving get off work early, but today, for the first time, she wished to stay longer at the unit. The topics discussed with Meng Xiaoxue at noon today really scared her a little - she even regretted renting a house by herself.Because of this, she hated Li Xin even more - if he hadn't done such dirty things, how could she be in such a situation? When getting off work, Yu Kailin finally couldn't bear it anymore, she grabbed Meng Xiaoxue who was about to leave. "Xiaoxue, today...can you come and stay with me for one night?" She said shyly.

Meng Xiaoxue was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood. "Sister Kailin, did what we said at noon today scare you?" Yu Kailin couldn't show her strength, she just nodded. Meng Xiaoxue thought about it. "It's fine for me to stay with you for one night, but it's not a long-term solution. I can't sleep with you every day, can I?" "I won't ask you to accompany me every day. The main reason is that I just said these things today. I'm very scared, and I will feel better in a few days." Meng Xiaoxue sighed. "Hey, why are you bothering? Li Xin wanted to protect you, but you refused. But you asked me to live with you..."

"Okay, okay, I told you not to mention him." Yu Kailin said irritably, "Just say whether you will accompany me or not." "Accompany, accompany, today I will be a 'three-accompany'!" Meng Xiaoxue made a face, "But the condition is that you have to treat me to a steak!" "Ghost girl, I'll kill you!" Yu Kailin blamed, and then smiled. The two women went to a western restaurant to have a sumptuous dinner, and then went shopping in a large shopping mall that had just opened nearby.The two each got a piece of clothing, and Meng Xiaoxue also bought a beautiful hat.Both of them were in a good mood, and the fear in Yu Kailin's heart was gradually dispelled.

Back to the rental house, it was already past nine o'clock. After Meng Xiaoxue entered the room, she walked around the whole room. "This house is quite nice, clean and relatively quiet. 1500 is really a bargain." "It's a pity that there is only one room. If it is a big house like the one you rented, you can share it with others." "Co-renting also has many disadvantages." Meng Xiaoxue sat on the sofa and crossed her legs. "For example, the shared bathroom. Sometimes you want to go to the bathroom. But someone else is occupying it. It's frustrating."

Yu Kailin poured a glass of water and brought it over to Meng Xiaoxue. "I don't think any of that matters now. The most important thing is safety." "It's true, living alone is quite frightening at night." Meng Xiaoxue took a sip of water and put the cup on the coffee table. The two sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, when there was a knock on the door. "It's so late, who will come to see you?" Meng Xiaoxue asked. "Who else is it, that landlady." Yu Kailin lowered her voice, "Now you can see her." She stood up, went to the door and opened it.

Sure enough, Wei Jun stood at the door, holding another plate of golden fried food in his hand, and said to Yu Kailin with a smile on his face: "Kailin, I just came back so late today. Look, I made some fried pancakes again." , bring a few for you to taste." "Oh, sister Juan, what a shame, I always eat your food." "Why are you polite, we are neighbors and friends!" Wei Jun handed the plate to Yu Kailin. "I don't know if you are used to eating or not." After Yu Kailin gave a simple polite sentence, she didn't refuse, and took the plate over: "Thank you so much, Miss Juan, come in and sit down for a while."

"Okay. I'm bored to death at home all day, and I want to chat with you for a while..." Just as he was talking and walked into the room, Wei Jun suddenly saw Meng Xiaoxue sitting on the sofa, and the smile on his face suddenly Disappeared, his expression became stiff. "So, you still have guests here." She looked at Meng Xiaoxue and said coldly. Yu Kailin hurriedly introduced: "Yes, she is a colleague of our company, her name is Meng Xiaoxue." Meng Xiaoxue stood up from the sofa, walked over and offered her hand. "You are sister Jun, hello." Wei Jun sized her up a few times, and then looked at her outstretched hand. It took a long time to reach out, almost touched her lightly, and then retracted.

Yu Kailin greeted: "Sister Juan, sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." "No need." Wei Jun said expressionlessly, "Since you have friends here, then I won't bother you." "It's okay, sister Juan, we have nothing to do. Can we chat for a while." "Another day." Wei Jun waved his hands, turned around and opened the door, and went out. Yu Kailin was holding a plate of deep-fried pancakes, and stood there blankly, then looked at Meng Xiaoxue blankly. Meng Xiaoxue sat down on the sofa again, pressed her mouth lightly with her fingers, then shook her head and sneered in disbelief.

Yu Kailin sat next to her, put the plate containing fried pancakes on the tea table, and said awkwardly: "I really didn't expect that she would be like this." "What does she mean by that?" "I don't understand either." "She was going to come in to chat with you with a smile, but after seeing me, her attitude changed a lot..." Meng Xiaoxue was thinking. "She was clearly coming after me." "But, how is this possible?" Yu Kailin found it hard to understand. "She doesn't know you, so she has no reason to hate or reject you."

Meng Xiaoxue stared at Yu Kailin. "I analyzed it with you at noon. She may be a little abnormal. Now it seems that she is so. This kind of person's mentality and thinking are different from ordinary people. You can't judge her behavior with the thinking of normal people." "Then what do you think is going on with her?" Meng Xiaoxue lowered her head in thought, then raised her head after a while. "I saw her behavior just now, as if she was jealous." "What?" Yu Kailin felt dumbfounded. "Jealous? We are all women, why is she jealous?"

Meng Xiaoxue waved her hands. "It's not jealousy in that sense. What I mean is that a reclusive, withdrawn old single girl like her can be very paranoid when looking at certain things. For example, she hopes that she is your only friend. And don't want you to have any other friends—she'll be very angry if you don't do what she wants." When Yu Kailin heard what Meng Xiaoxue said, she remembered——on the first day of renting the house, Wei Jun said that she didn't have many opportunities to get in touch with others, and hoped to become good friends with herself; Feeling lonely, with no friends around... Could it be that, now that she saw herself with Meng Xiaoxue, would she regard this as a kind of betrayal? After staying there for a long while, Yu Kailin said, "Indeed... there is such a possibility as you said." "If that's the case, then you'd better keep a distance from her." Meng Xiaoxue said sternly, "You can only keep a respectful distance from such eccentric and moody people." Yu Kailin looked at the plate of deep-fried pancakes and said embarrassedly: "But, it's not that I want to take the initiative to contact her. You see, she will send some food and snacks for me to taste from time to time. If I If I don't accept it, she will feel that I don't appreciate it: but if I accept it, doesn't that mean that I have a closer relationship with her?" Meng Xiaoxue also looked at the bright yellow pancakes, and couldn't help laughing. "I don't know what kind of strange taste the fried pancakes will be this time." Yu Kailin said, "How about we each try one?" Meng Xiaoxue and her looked at each other for a few seconds, and said with a suppressed smile, "Well, I'm really curious." Yu Kailin picked up two pancakes from the plate and handed one to Meng Xiaoxue.The two stared at the pancake for a few seconds and took a bite at the same time. Meng Xiaoxue chewed carefully. "I think... the taste is not bad, it's not too bad." "Indeed." Yu Kailin said, "Compared to the fat sausage rice bowl and the green tea with cream that day, this taste is quite normal." "It's just too much oil, it tastes a bit boring." Meng Xiaoxue took another bite and saw the meat stuffing in the pancake. "Also... this meat tastes weird, why can't I tell what kind of meat it is?" "Hmm... the meat has a slightly fishy smell." Yu Kailin said, "Maybe it's mutton." "It's not like." Meng Xiaoxue shook her head and said, "The color of lamb is not so red. But if it's beef, it doesn't taste right." At this time, Yu Kailin had stopped eating fried pancakes. Meng Xiaoxue said, "This meat...couldn't be stale." "I do not know either." "Forget it, let's stop eating." Meng Xiaoxue put the remaining pancake back on the plate. "Regardless of whether the meat is really a problem, anyway, I feel uncomfortable." Yu Kailin looked at the plate full of pancakes, and was in a dilemma: "There are still so many, what should I do?" Meng Xiaoxue said: "Throw it away, this kind of oil cake made of meat of unknown origin may cause problems after eating." She picked up the plate, walked to the trash can, stepped on the switch, and fried the whole plate. All the cakes were poured in. "Hey..." Yu Kailin felt that it was someone's wish after all, and she couldn't bear it, but before she could stop it, she was already dumped, so she had to give up. One of Meng Xiaoxue's hands was covered with oil, and she said to Yu Kailin, "I'm going to take a shower first." "Okay." Yu Kailin stood up, "Let me find you a nightgown." Meng Xiaoxue took a pink nightgown that Yu Kailin handed her, and walked into the bathroom.
