The monthly rent is RMB 1,200, located within the Third Ring Road, with fine decoration.
I thought it was the first bargain I got from Beidiao in three years.
On the day I signed the contract, the property management company gave me a copy of the "Resident Code of District D".
There are 5 rules written on it - you must attend the discussion meeting, close your eyes when the corridor light turns yellow, and don't ask the source of the hair when the housekeeper changes the sheets.
I saw item 6.
What is written in red pen is not included in the printing range.
That sentence is: "Don't believe any of the first five. Especially don't believe this one."
I thought it was a prank.
It wasn't until the meeting that I discovered that all the neighbors were smiling, but their eyes were not smiling.
Until the elevator stopped on the underground floor at three o'clock in the morning.
Until something appeared in the garbage room that shouldn't be touched.
Until the housekeeper smiled and asked me: Mr. Lin, did you sleep well last night?
The rules of this broken community are one after another——
Don't talk in the elevator. Don't touch the rag dolls in the trash room. Don't look back if someone calls your name.
Every rule is written politely.
Behind every rule stands the same thing.
It's not on the code.
It's looking at me.
