Chapter 40: Walls Have Ears

Separated by a wall, Zhai Da was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with one hand behind his head.

He said in a normal speaking volume:

"Otherwise, did the wall become a spirit? My mom probably forgot, this wall is as thin as paper, I can hear the movement of you turning over clearly."

In the small room next door, Lu Wei's face turned red immediately.

Zhai Da was playing with a metal poker card in his hand. He was actually only about ten centimeters away from Lu Wei in a straight line. He could hear clearly when speaking in a normal voice. Of course, he couldn't hear small whispers. He was wearing headphones to study, so he naturally couldn't hear.

He had thought of this point during the day, but didn't mention it.

And correspondingly, the master bedroom facing south where Yu Xiaoli was, would not hear any movement here at all. Even if the spring bed blew a traditional wind instrument, she probably wouldn't know.

Both sides returned to silence, the boy and girl lying on their respective beds.

Zhai Da leaned against the wall on the left, Lu Wei leaned against the wall on the right.

The sound coming through the wall was so clear that Lu Wei felt as if Zhai Da was lying beside her.

Can he hear my breathing? What does his room look like? Will I wake him up if I turn over at night?

Thoughts flew in her mind, and the few sleepiness she had originally was now completely stirred away.

Even though she was very, very tired today.

Until she heard Zhai Da's voice.

"I'll play some music to help you sleep, listen together?"

Lu Wei was puzzled: "Can I hear it?"

"Knockoff phone, loud sound, just push it against the wall."

After a while, melodious music came, a bit distorted through the wall, but also more unique.

No one spoke anymore, only the singing.

In the darkness, Lu Wei gradually relaxed her whole body and mind, the first time since entering this house.

"Thank you..."

The voice was very light.

"What?"

"Thank you, and thank Teacher Yu."

This time, the voice was very firm.

But there was no response from that side.

After a long time, the melody became more ethereal and melodious, Lu Wei said softly:

"What is the name of this song..."

Opposite the wall, Zhai Da seemed to react half a beat slower, and only said after a long time.

He had already squinted his eyes in sleepiness, studying was very brain-consuming.

"'Unworthy', Dream Ship."

In the narrow but warm room, gradually there was only the even breathing of the two and the melodious music.

"Except for missing you~ except for loving you~"

"Hu~ I am willing to do anything..."

Lu Wei turned over in a daze, facing the right side, and fell into a deep sleep.

————

A short day off, many things happened.

Lu Wei lost a home, and Zhai Da gained a roommate.

In the morning, Zhai Da turned off the alarm the moment it rang, afraid of waking Lu Wei, who was separated by a wall.

He got up earlier than usual today, preparing to finish his washing and drainage work in advance.

Did life become inconvenient? Obviously, it did. Who knows when he would be self-exploding in the bathroom, and the door would be pushed open.

But he could overcome it.

Taking three steps back, it was also a beautiful little girl living in, and some things written as "inconvenient" can also be read as "the green breath floating in the air."

Lu Wei is responsible for green, he is responsible for astringent.

Hearing the movement in the kitchen, Zhai Da went over to take a look. Lu Wei was cooking.

The other party got up earlier than him.

The morning sun shone in from outside the window, and Lu Wei's back was wrapped in a layer of warm light.

Wearing the apron that Ms. Yu often used, but because of the crushing difference in waist circumference, "half-enclosed" became "fully enclosed."

Zhai Da was puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Lu Wei hurriedly turned back: "Want to make some breakfast for you and Teacher Yu."

"We don't cook in the morning."

"It's okay, I got up early..."

"Because the gas pressure is not enough in the morning, it won't light, an old problem of the old residential area."

Lu Wei:...

Holding the kitchen knife, looking at the egg liquid batter she had beaten, the shredded potatoes she had cut, and the sauce she had adjusted.

Should this knife be placed on her own neck...

Zhai Da went over to take a look. Don't say it, it looked quite like it. It should be egg pancakes, preparing to roll shredded potatoes.

This girl's cooking level is at least not starting from zero. If it were made, it should be quite delicious.

Pity there is no if.

Zhai Da took out plastic wrap from the drawer, added a spoonful of salt to the egg liquid, sealed it, and said in his mouth:

"What you said when washing hands yesterday, you wouldn't take it seriously again, right?"

"Know you are afraid of adding trouble, want to do more work, but we only need to pass the basic hygiene problems and personal privacy problems, and the rest will come slowly. After a long time, you will find that as long as you are willing to work, the work will never be finished."

Soaked the shredded potatoes in salt water to prevent oxidation, and put both in the refrigerator.

"It should be no problem to put it until the evening, although the taste might be worse. You show your hand for dinner, just consider it adding a dish for us."

Lu Wei could only lower her head: "Okay, I won't waste it!"

At this time, Yu Xiaoli, who was used to going out for a stroll in the morning, came back, walking past the kitchen door without looking sideways, treating both of them as air.

Zhai Da raised his eyebrows: "Deliberately pretending not to see and walking past, want to create the illusion that we are doing strange things?"

Yu Xiaoli leaned back and revealed a head: "What if?"

Zhai Da said seriously: "If what if, I will close the door."

Lu Wei:...

Yu Xiaoli really brought breakfast, a full seven meat buns, Zhai Da three, she and Lu Wei two each, plus one tea egg and soy milk each.

Zhai Da and Yu Xiaoli's tea eggs were peeled by Lu Wei. She was really seizing every tiny opportunity to do some work in this family.

After breakfast, in the gap before going out, Lu Wei secretly returned to the room and opened the small notebook.

Wrote the words "Breakfast: Three yuan."

Further ahead, also wrote words like "Dinner made by Teacher Yu herself, very rich... twenty yuan" and "Borrowed shampoo, soap, body wash, bath towel, about thirty yuan."

What is recorded in this notebook is not money.

It is affection.

But recording with money, at least let Lu Wei know how warm things she obtained to the minimum extent.

"Xiao Wei, let's go! I'll take you by bike."

Unknowingly, the title of Teacher Yu had changed.

Much more intimate.

"Coming Teacher Yu~"

Familiar corridor, familiar stairs, but today it was the three of them together.

The three parted at the entrance of Sanmao Residential Area, one went to school, two went to work.

Lu Wei sat in the back seat of Yu Xiaoli's bicycle, and the feeling was different from yesterday.

A bit crowded.

Yu Xiaoli lowered her head to look at her small belly that was being pinched, and chose silence.

"Xiao Wei, how did you sleep last night? You didn't adapt and didn't sleep all night, right?"

Lu Wei's ponytail was raised by the wind, inexplicably thinking of the melody last night.

The corners of her mouth unconsciously brought a bit of arc: "Hmm! Slept very well... thank you Teacher Yu."

Pity, her smile always bloomed in places where others couldn't see, and it was beauty that no one noticed again. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
