It was cold in the night and the wind made people shrink their necks. Shen Huai turned up his collar and walked outside the south gate of the school.
Walking out of the school gate, looking at the deep shadows of the plane trees on both sides of the street, Shen Huai looked back and saw the Huaigong campus shrouded in darkness, and finally there was a faint emotion in his heart that he could not resolve.
In the dead of night, occasionally a taxi would stop in front of the school gate carrying students returning home late. Shen Huai did not stop the taxi. He felt a few extra coins in his pocket and walked to the bus stop across the street, planning to It's only three stops to take the bus back to my residence.
There were several young men and women talking on the platform. They looked like students from Huaihe University of Technology, but he didn't know where they were going after leaving school so late. Shen Huai thought that they might be a pair of lovers, studying on their own in school, and then Then rest in the rented house.
Thinking this way, Shen Huai felt an emotion blocking his heart, making it difficult for him to reminisce about his life in college. He sat down, took out his cigarette and lighter, and wanted to smoke a cigarette before the bus came over. Press down.
The lighter was not windproof, so it failed to catch fire even after being struck several times against the wind. Shen Huai walked behind the stop sign and wanted to light a cigarette while blocking the wind. He was surprised to see Kou Xuan hiding behind the stop sign.
Shen Huai was so shocked that he forgot that the lighter in his hand was on fire. His fingers were burned for a while before he came back to his senses. While rubbing his burned fingers, he asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Kou Xuan just saw Shen Huai walking from the street, so she hid behind the stop sign for fear of being seen by him. She never expected that Shen Huai would come to the stop sign and light up a cigarette, so she immediately caught him and said timidly while shrinking her neck. : "I have been studying at Sanjiang College of Huaigong University for three months"
"Ah" Shen Huai smacked his lips. He only knew that Kou Xuan was still interning in Shangxi Garden at the beginning of the year and officially graduated from the tourism school in July. But what Kou Xuan was doing recently, he didn't listen to Chen Dan and the others. I remember that even though they met in Hong Kong some time ago, Yu Wei said that Kou Xuan was in Xucheng during this period. However, when he was in Hong Kong, with so many provincial and municipal officials, Shen Huai had no chance to contact Kou Xuan in private. But he didn't expect that Kou Xuan would now be studying at Sanjiang College of Huaigong University.
Shen Huai was thinking that this was probably arranged by Yu Wei for Kou Xuan after Kou Xuan and Yu Wei eased their relationship.
"Then you are so late and not staying at the school. Where are you going?" Shen Huai took a moment to digest the news and asked doubtfully.
"I told you not to scold me?" Kou Xuan put her toes on the ground and whispered.
"What did I scold you for?" Shen Huai laughed dumbly, but when he saw Kou Xuan changing her normal attitude in front of him, she looked as timid as a mouse, which reminded him of something and asked, "You won't tell me , you also live in Crescent Lake, right?"
"" Kou Xuan lowered her head and remained silent, then raised her head and glanced at Shen Huai, knowing that she would not be able to hide it if they met tonight, she whispered, "I live in the building opposite you."
"Do you believe that I will whip you with something?" Shen Huai was angry and funny. He didn't expect that a voyeur had been living in the building opposite his residence for three months.
"I didn't mean it," Kou Xuan twisted the strap of her bag and said with a guilty conscience, "I don't want to live in the school. The only environment nearby is Crescent Lake. I want to be with people I know, so if anything happens, I can find someone for anything. At that time, I just wanted to live in Crescent Lake, and there happened to be an empty house in the building opposite you"
"The house opposite me is still vacant. Why don't you move in?" Shen Huai asked angrily, "If we hadn't met today, would you have never planned to let me know?"
Kou Xuan said nothing.
At this moment, the bus came over, and Shen Huai said: "Get on the bus, I can't really hit you with anything"
The two of them sat in the back half of the bus one after another - it was almost ten o'clock, and there were not many people on the bus. Most of the students who got on the bus were standing in the front, and only Shen Huai and Kou Xuan sat there. behind.
After getting in the car, Shen Huai didn't speak anymore. After a long silence, Kou Xuan turned back to look at Shen Huai and asked in a low voice, "Are you really angry with me?"
Shen Huai ignored her.
"I wanted to tell you the last time I came to Hong Kong, but you left Hong Kong one day early," Kou Xuan said.
Seeing Kou Xuan's soft little face hidden in the crimson hood of her jacket, as if she were that timid little girl, Shen Huai could hardly be angry with her. He stretched out her hood and lowered it, revealing the rich and silky breasts inside. With long black hair, he said: "I'm thinking about other things."
"Oh" Kou Xuan stuck out her tongue.
"Who else knows that you sit on the floor opposite me? Does your mother know?" Shen Huai asked.
"She doesn't know," Kou Xuan said, "I had just moved in, and I had a good relationship with my classmates in the dormitory, so I thought about moving out of school.I bumped into you in just one month"
Although I don¡¯t know what connections Yu Wei used to send Kou Xuan to Huaigong University, Kou Xuan was twenty-three during the Chinese New Year and was much older than the girls in the same dormitory.
Although Kou Xuan's delicate face is full of youthful atmosphere, people would believe that she is only 18 or 19 years old, but the things that Kou Xuan has experienced over the years make her different from the girls in the dormitory who are 18 or 19 years old. There is no common language.
Kou Xuan has lived in the dormitory for a while and has not gotten along well with the girls in the dormitory. It is normal for her to move out again.
When you get off the bus, you will see the gate of Yueya Lake Community. The community is dark and quiet.
Walking downstairs to Kou Xuan's residence, Shen Huai said to her, "I'll go in and take a look. If I see something like a telescope, I'll take care of you carefully."
"I'm not that perverted?" Seeing that Shen Huai was not angry, Kou Xuan regained her energy, looked up at Shen Huai and said with a smile, "You don't have anything good to look at"
The house where Shen Huai lives is a duplex apartment; but the building in front of it is an ordinary multi-storey apartment - a finely decorated apartment with two bedrooms and two living rooms rented by Kou Xuan.
Kou Xuan has indeed just moved in for less than a month, and there is only a simple orange sofa in the living room, which is eye-catching. Kou Xuan usually eats in the school cafeteria, and the oak dining table in the restaurant is filled with study materials - pull it open There is a back balcony outside the curtains behind the restaurant. Opposite is Shen Huai's residence. Shen Huai's clothes drying on the balcony are clearly visible.
Although it was Kou Xuan who lived here, Shen Huai suddenly thought of a possibility: if someone wanted to pry into his privacy and wanted to take advantage of him, it would be really easy to rent a house nearby and stay there for a long time. very.
With this in mind, he took a closer look at the surrounding environment. The side window of the Santana parked on the left side of the flower shop and covered by a Chinese crabapple tree was open. The light inside was very dark, but he could see Someone is sitting inside and smoking - from the angle of the parked car, it is indeed convenient for the person sitting in the car to observe the movements of his residence.
Shen Huai became suspicious of the car. He pulled up the curtains on the balcony and stood behind the curtains to watch the movement of the car
Kou Xuan was making coffee for the two of them in the kitchen. When she saw Shen Huai standing outside the curtains in front of the balcony, she thought that Shen Huai was trying to observe her. She just thought that Shen Huai was still doubting her, and she felt bad in her heart. , came over and said: "Sometimes I sit at the dining table and review my homework, thinking that it would feel good to take a look at you - in fact, sometimes I just take a look at you. If you are unhappy, I will move out from here tomorrow "
Shen Huai turned back and glanced at Kou Xuan. His beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of darkness, which made people unable to bear to blame her. He pulled her curtains behind her, pointed at the Santana in the southeast corner of the flower bed, and said, "Look That car"
Kou Xuan looked over the curtain and said, "This car has been parked there for two or three days, and it seems to be parked in that spot"
The car had only been parked there for two or three days, which didn't mean anything. Shen Huai frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said to Kou Xuan, "I'll go back now. Pay attention to the reaction of the people in the car."
Kou Xuan nodded and turned off the lights in the restaurant, making it easier to stand in the dark and observe what was going on in the car.
Shen Huai went downstairs, walked back to the sidewalk where he usually came in from the gate of the community, and walked to his residence. When he got home, he followed his normal routine. He boiled a pot of water first, then took the documents and sat in front of the study to browse.
About twenty minutes later, Shen Huai saw Kou Xuan walking this way. Only then did he notice that the car behind the flower bed in the southeast corner had disappeared. He took the key and went out, signaling Kou Xuan to go back. I'm not sure if there are still peepers hiding in the surrounding apartment buildings, or it would be easier to go to Kou Xuan's house to talk.
"There were two people sitting in that car. After you got home, they made a phone call and left - they were indeed observing what was happening on your side," Kou Xuan reported the movements of the car within twenty minutes. She told Shen Huai, then took out a piece of paper, copied down the license plate she just memorized, and handed it to Shen Huai, "This is the license plate of that car."
Seeing that it was a private license plate, Shen Huai wanted to find out who the owner of this car was. It would be quite easy, so he thought to himself
There are only a few people who have been spying on him for a long time. As long as he pays attention to this problem now, it will not be difficult to find out who is behind the scenes to catch him.
However, even if the person behind the scenes is found, there is no guarantee that others will use the same method to deal with him in the future, which is really a headache. Thinking of this, Shen Huai sighed softly and put this problem behind him for the time being. He sorted out all the things that happened when he lived in Crescent Lake in the past year. He thought that there was no reason for others to catch him.
"Do you want me to help you keep an eye on who is staring at you from behind?" Kou ?? asked eagerly.
Shen Huai said: "You still think things are not chaotic enough!"
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't realize that others are staring at you," Kou Xuan pursed her lips and said in a petulant voice, "If you don't want me to help you, then I'll pull you down."
Seeing that this girl seemed to be taking advantage of her, Shen Huai glared at her and said, "Lend me the sofa in the living room to sleep for a night" Although there was nothing shameful about it, he thought of calling someone to his residence. Staring, always feeling uncomfortable, Shen Huai thought about dealing with Kou Xuan first for the night.
