Chapter 40

Separated by a wall, Zhai Da was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, one hand pillowing his head.

Speaking in a normal volume:

"Otherwise the wall became a spirit? My mom probably forgot, this wall is as thin as paper, I can hear your tossing and turning 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, so he could hear clearly as long as he spoke in a normal voice. Of course, he couldn't hear small whispers, and he couldn't hear when he was wearing headphones to study.

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

Correspondingly, Yu Xiaoli's master bedroom facing south wouldn't hear any movement from this side at all; even if the spring bed played the suona, she probably wouldn't know.

Both sides returned to silence, the young man and young 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 from the wall was so clear that Lu Wei felt as if Zhai Da was lying beside her.

Can he hear 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 little sleepiness she had 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 sleep, listen together?"

Lu Wei didn't understand: "Can I hear it?"

"Knock-off phone, loud sound, just press it against the wall."

After a while, melodious music came, somewhat 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 the other side.

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

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

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

He was already squinting with sleepiness, studying was very brain-consuming.

"'Not Worth It', Dream Ship."

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

"Besides missing you~ besides loving you~"

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

Lu Wei turned over in a daze, facing the right, 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 even earlier than usual today, preparing to finish his washing and drainage work ahead of time.

Did life become inconvenient? Obviously, yes. Who knows when he’d be self-destructing in the bathroom and the door would be pushed open.

But he could overcome it.

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

Lu Wei was responsible for the green, and he was responsible for the astringency.

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

The other party got up even earlier than him.

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

She wore the floral apron Ms. Yu often used, but because of the crushing difference in waist circumference, "half-coverage" became "full-coverage."

Zhai Da asked suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

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

"We don't cook in the morning in our house."

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

"Because the gas pressure isn't enough in the morning, can't light the fire, an old problem of old residential areas."

Lu Wei: ...

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

Should I just put this knife to my own neck...

Zhai Da went over to take a look, it actually looked quite like the real thing, should be egg pancakes, preparing to roll shredded potatoes.

This girl's cooking level wasn't starting from zero, if she made it, it should be quite delicious.

Pity there were no ifs.

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

"Did you take what I said when washing hands seriously again?"

"Know you're afraid of adding trouble, want to do more work, but as long as basic hygiene problems and personal privacy problems are passed, the rest will come slowly. After a long time, you will find that as long as you are willing to work, the work is never-ending."

Put the shredded potatoes into salt water to prevent oxidation, and put both into the fridge together.

"Should be no problem until tonight, although the texture might be a bit worse, you show your skills for dinner, consider it adding a dish for us."

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

At this time, Yu Xiaoli, who had the habit of 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, wanting to create the illusion that we were doing strange things?"

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

Zhai Da said seriously: "If what if, I would 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 both peeled by Lu Wei; she was really seizing every tiny opportunity to do some work in this house.

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

Wrote "Breakfast: three pieces."

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

What was recorded in this notebook wasn't money.

It was sentiment.

But recording it in money at least allowed Lu Wei to know at a minimum level how much warmth she had received.

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

Without knowing it, the address of Teacher Yu had changed.

Much more intimate.

"Coming Teacher Yu~"

The familiar corridor, the familiar stairs, but today there were three of them together.

The three parted at the entrance of Sanmao residential area, one to school, two to work.

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

A bit crowded.

Yu Xiaoli looked down at her little belly that was being pinched, and chose silence.

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

Lu Wei's ponytail was lifted by the wind, inexplicably remembering the melody from last night.

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

Pity, her smile always seemed to bloom in places where others couldn't see, another beauty that no one noticed.
