Zhou Xubai revised the "Co-living Agreement" handed to him by Lu Mianran to three pages, detailing everything
It's just that Lu Mianran has lived here for three months and violated almost every rule.
The first is to keep it tidy
Lu Mianran's clothes, books, and half-drunk coffee cups quietly invaded the third floor of the living room, kitchen, and even bathroom shelves like vines.
Article 4 is the routine of work and rest
He often comes back in the early morning with a slightly cool night air, and the sound of washing water penetrates the thin wall, falling into the sleep cycle that Zhou Xubai planned and has always adhered to.
Article 7 is not to occupy public areas
But the old guitar belonging to Lu Mianran was leaning against the corner, with a faded air ticket taped to the case, making it an eye-catching object in this neat space.
Zhou Xubai is an auditor. He is used to quantifying, filing and maintaining balance.
And Lu Mianran, the roommate who calls himself the "exchange guest", is a random error that cannot be included in any subject.
Zhou Xubai was convinced that he hated him and all creatures that disrupted order.
But the red umbrella began to appear regularly on the umbrella stand by the door. The extra blanket on the sofa has an unfamiliar smell. Occasionally, unplanned food appears in the refrigerator. In the notes column of the accounting book, unclassifiable records began to appear, such as "The red umbrella was filled with water and fell over" and "There was noise at night for about 40 minutes."
That bright color, like a drop of ink, quietly seeped into his clear life
Until one rainy night, Lu Mianran brought back an old gramophone and a few old records. The two of them stood side by side in the dark living room, listening to the melody from decades ago spread out in the sound of rain.
After the song ended, for some unknown reason, Zhou Xubai suddenly said: Listen to it again before going to sleep.
The dream that night was the flowing water with music
Early the next morning, the gramophone was sent away. The corner of the living room is empty
But there are many things that are different
——
Later, someone asked Zhou Xubai: Don't you hate him disturbing your order the most?
Zhou Xubai was silent for a while and said: I didn't say I hated him.
The man asked again: What do you hate?
Zhou Xubai thought for a while and said: What I hate is that he makes me start to feel that those unplanned errors...
Doesn't seem that bad
