I am a Good Man

"Telling her to be so smart, she's so impatient."

…

"Okay, don't talk about her either. If you don't hand in the form tomorrow, you will be named and criticized again during the meeting." Ruan Xin had no choice but to pull her to the side.

"You know." When Zhang Yi mentioned this, his smile subsided and turned into a sad one.

The two walked to the bus stop.

While standing waiting for the bus, Ruan Xin came to her senses. She had changed her place of residence and now she had to take the subway.

"The 23rd bus is here, I'll go back first." Zhang Yi's voice came again.

"Yes." Ruan Xin nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Watching Zhang Yi get on the bus, she turned around lonely and walked to the subway station. Not far away, Li Ming looked at her with deep thought in his eyes.

I took the subway for six stops. When I came out of the subway station, there were shared bicycles next to me. After a few minutes of riding, I could reach the community.

On the way, she can also buy some fresh fruits, which are quite cheap.

When they got home, Ye Xiaoai had come back and was busy in the kitchen. Ruan Xin walked over to look at her and asked, "What are you cooking?"

"Coke chicken wings." She turned her head and replied with a smile, "Let's eat together later? I cooked a lot."

"Need not……"

"Let's go together. I've just learned to cook. Eating alone is boring. You can come out and eat together in a while."

Ye Xiaoai insisted on the invitation. Under the same roof, Ruan Xin thought it was okay to have some contact, so she agreed, "Then I'll be shameless."

"It's okay, it's all trivial." Ye Xiaoai said with a smile, adding more chopped green onions to the pot, "Help me taste it, but this is my first time cooking this dish."

Ruan Xin nodded, said hello, put the fruit on the table outside, and then returned to the room.

After she put the things away, she took the fruit to wash and put it on the table.

Coke chicken wings, fried broccoli, chopped green onions and eggs, plus a white radish and pork ribs soup.

"It's so rich. Do they want to eat together?" Ruan Xin went to get the rice and looked at her and asked.

"Sister Xiaolan is on a business trip. She lives in that room." Ye Xiaoai pointed to the door next to Ruan Xin, then lowered her voice, "As for the one who lives next to me, she is back, but she never talks to us. I I’ve been living here for a year, and I’ve asked her to cook before, but she never came out.”

"I won't call you anymore."

"That's it." Ruan Xin understood. She had seen that Xiaolan before. She got up to go to the toilet last night, and the other party bought a barbecue and asked her if she wanted to eat.

She seems quite enthusiastic. As for the other one, she hasn't had any contact with him, so it's hard to judge.

"Let me try your cooking skills." Ruan Xin held the bowl, smiled, picked up a piece of chicken wing, and took a bite.

The taste is indeed good, not all good in color and aroma, but still quite delicious.

Hearing her sincere praise, Ye Xiaoai's eyes curled up.

The two of them were chatting about each other. From the chat, they learned that Ye Xiaoai was also from outside the province. He went to college here and stayed here with his college boyfriend.

I’m not used to the food here, so I’ve been learning to cook.

After meal.

Ruan Xin is going to wash the dishes.

"I can do it myself." Ye Xiaoai stopped her.

"I'm good at washing dishes. Go take a shower." Ruan Xin took the bowl to the kitchen and put it in the sink.

If you eat food cooked by others, you will naturally have to do other work.

Afterwards, Ye Xiaoai went to take a shower, while Ruan Xin was washing the dishes.

When she came out of the shower, Ruan Xin just finished washing the dishes, dried her hands, and gave her half of the washed fruit.

There is no living room and no TV here. We carry fruits and go to each room.

The soundproofing effect of the room is very good. As soon as Ruan Xin entered, the world became quiet again. He put the fruit on the table and felt frustrated every day.

It seems like I can’t muster the energy to do anything.

The days were dull.

At half past nine, Ji Yang made a video call to her. The two of them actually had nothing to talk about. She was eating fruit and looking at him on the other end of the video.

I don’t know what topic to talk about, so sometimes I just look at each other, both of them trying to stir up a topic.

"It's getting late, don't stay up late, go to bed early." Ji Yang was the first to say.

"you too, good night."

…

The phone was hung up again. In fact, no one wanted to hang up, but they really didn't know what to say, which was a little embarrassing.

It seems that something is changing. Looking back on this year, their relationship has faded a lot. I don't know if it was because they worked too hard this year, or because they expected too much from the future, so they were hit hard.

That night, Ruan Xin still had trouble falling asleep.

Tossing and turning.

In the past, when they were in different places, if she didn't sleep, she would send him a message. If he didn't sleep, she would get up, walk to the corridor of the dormitory, and call her, or the two of them would send messages and imagine the future together.

She picked up her phone many times, but in the end she didn't send him a message. He was tired from work today and would have to work overtime tomorrow.

forget it.

*

A few more days.

After get off work, Ruan Xin walked to the subway station. Li Ming stopped her and said with a puzzled look, "Don't you live over there in Xihe? Take the bus directly."

Her eyes dodge, looking a little unnatural, "I've moved to a different place."

"Changed places? Aren't you with your boyfriend?" Li Ming asked again, and then explained, "I'm sorry, if I said the wrong thing, don't mind, I'm just asking."

"Well, I live alone." Ruan Xin lowered her eyes. She didn't know what kind of relationship she had with Ji Yang. They were probably still getting along.

As for whether they can get together again, neither of them knows.

"It's quite free to live alone, and it's a lot more convenient." Li Ming smiled to lighten the mood, "Where do you live now?"

Ruan Xin forced a smile and said, "That side of Beihe Road."

"Beihe Road? Then I'm in that direction too. I live on Jiahe Road above Beihe Road. Can I take you there?" Li Ming said.
