Chapter 1: The New Neighbor Next Door

Hey? I found out that the family next door has three members, and the little girl is still in school. It’s past six o'clock, so she must be back by now. If the elementary school student isn’t back, surely the parents should be returning, right? If they don’t come back, who will cook...

Are you alright? What happened? Did they provoke you?

"That's not how it happened. When you brought us in, you didn't even know our names. You only found out who we were after the meal was served. Isn't this akin to inviting a wolf into the house? No, rather, what is it called when you bring strangers through the door? At the very least, you should have asked for our names and known what we do, and then..."

That is great, do you have their contact information

This Xiao Fei is the same age as I am, both of us are in our third year of high school. He is a distant relative of Wen Bin. His parents divorced, and he was granted to his father. His father married a stepmother who is not much older than him. Unable to endure her enthusiastic play of Snow White with him, he learned that he had a cousin living outside, renting a place to attend university, and thus he came to seek refuge.

Cool guy Luo Heng decisively stuffed a piece of meat into Wen Bin's mouth and said: "Shut your mouth!"

Just as I was about to turn and leave, the head of "Little Fei Brother" suddenly and strangely pushed aside, revealing a friendly face. The doorkeeper, as if nothing had happened, smiled warmly and said: "Young lady, I apologize, Little Fei can be quite awkward. May I ask what you need?"

He had a face full of joy and excitement, turned around and shouted: "Ah Heng has food to eat, come quickly!" Then he said to me: "Little sister, I knew you were a good person."

I humbly bow down with all my heart, sighing deeply, feeling that life is about to become desolate, I touch my belt, and take out my phone

Except for the strong person who knocked on my door for just a second, the other two looked at me with bright eyes

The doorkeeper B, Luo Heng, glanced at Xiao Fei without any expression and said: "Accumulate some virtue."

You are growing, and you must be eating a lot, so of course you come to knock. - Picture - Book

Let us refer to him as Knocker B; he spoke: "No one."

It was only then that I realized that most of the dishes had already been consumed. I hurriedly grabbed some meat, and amidst the flurry of chopsticks, I noticed Wenbin constantly looking at me with an expression that seemed to say he felt guilty for not having raised me better. I felt ashamed; after all, he meant well. I could only say to him: "My invitation to you for this meal is the result of careful consideration. Although meeting you has made me somewhat regretful, you must trust in my cautious nature."

No, no, it is we who have gone too far

It's nothing, children do not understand the matters of adults

I am just a little taller than him, with my head lowered, a faint blue light illuminating my face, making it difficult to discern my features

How dare you use our home as a public kitchen? Have you lost your mind?

I am overwhelmed ... ... Not like this!

It seems that I was the villain just now

"Look, look, we just moved in, we haven't bought any ingredients, and the kitchen has collapsed. In this desperate situation, I remembered that this community is renowned throughout the city for its neighborly friendliness. So, of course, we should seek help from our dear neighbors. " The first visitor had a hopeful expression, almost radiating a holy light, as if he were about to clasp his hands together and wag his tail. "If you could help us contact them, we will have this little brother Fei act as your flower guardian! How about it, how about it?"

The corridor light on the second floor has turned on.

I shrugged, led them through the door into the kitchen, then brought out the dishes. We each introduced ourselves briefly, and I announced that the meal was ready.

Bang

This person's face bears signs of being singed and smoked, yet it cannot conceal his mature handsomeness. I never hold a grudge against those with smiling faces, so I could only respond with a smile: "Have you all had dinner? If not, I will treat you. Please don't mind if it's just home-cooked dishes."

In fact, this post-meal tea gathering was forcibly organized by Wen Bin. The other person, who is gloomy and cold, hardly speaks at all. Only Wen Bin, while clattering away washing the dishes, keeps chattering about their situation, implying that I should get to know them a bit. It is said that they will be staying here for a long time because the neighbor next door offered them a very low rental price

I stood there holding the bag in a petrified state, "Uh... what is it, what is it, you all continue..."

Are you often alone?

The corridor light on the first floor has turned on.

It should be fine, right? They are not intermediaries. My mother twisted her ankle while shopping, and one of them saw it and took her to the hospital. The other two had long faces all day, but they accompanied my mother for an entire afternoon. In the end, they didn't ask for anything and were about to leave. Fortunately, my mother learned that they were looking for a place to rent, so she rented it. My mother has a keen eye for people, so it should be alright

I feel that I am having a bit of trouble holding onto the shopping bag

Once again, I bow down; I have finally seen adults who are poorer than the proletariat

Suddenly, a wave of excitement surged within me, and I felt a rush of energy. I quickly took two steps forward, only to hear a cacophony of noise from the neighboring room, resembling a mountain roar and a sea wave. Then, two individuals rushed out as if fleeing from a disaster, exchanged a glance, and began to knock on my door.

Big guy, where is your mother

The landlord, that lady, has a well-known ability to read people. She is always accurate; if she says someone is a good person, even if they have a lewd appearance, they are definitely a good person. If she says someone is a bad person, even if they have a face full of holy light, they are fundamentally dark. I just called to ask, and their family said you are good people, so that should be enough, right

I thought for a moment and made a call to the landlord of those three individuals. It turned out that the family living there was a household of three, and the person who answered the phone was their son

Help! I cried out in despair, "So this is what it means to invite the wolf into the house!"

"No one." The doorkeeper B calmly repeated

What is the problem? Although Wenbin's words were somewhat ambiguous, I find myself more interested in this matter

Xiao Fei, whose full name is Zhong Yuanfei, snorted coldly: "Hmph, letting strangers into the house so easily, one might not even realize when they get sold out one day"

They were a bit surprised. The doorkeeper, named Wenbin, asked seriously: "Qingqing, where are your parents?"

I stood there in embarrassment for a moment, just as I was about to step forward, I heard a cold snort from the person beside me, and inexplicably, I stopped again

I am deeply troubled and feel as though I have invited a wolf into my home, leaving me no choice but to surrender: "I have never let strangers in before!"

I walked into the hallway carrying two bags of snacks

I am furious! That tone is exactly like how they deal with debt collectors on television

The door next to my home is wide open, and soft light spills out, illuminating the railing directly opposite the door, where a person is leaning.

Oh, do you know them

Your sister

"Good, good, good, you are all grown-ups now," Wen Bin said with a loving expression.

I am very calm: `` At this moment. ''

The doorkeeper turned around and shrugged, half of his face illuminated from the side, pale and gaunt: "Are we begging here? What we beg for is our dinner, right? You want to eat our dinner too, don’t you? If you don’t eat, won’t you be hungry? What will you do if you get hungry... Do you want to go out and buy something? Do you have money? The rent is still on me... Or do you want... Hey? Little sister, why are you standing there? Is it because Xiao Fei is blocking you? Xiao Fei, quickly let her through... Do you have money? The rent is still on me... Or do you want... Hey? Little sister, why are you standing there? Is it because Xiao Fei is blocking you? Xiao Fei, quickly let her through..."

Isn't your house rented out? Do you know those three people?

Wen Bin asked eagerly, "What is the method of deep contemplation?"

"Little Brother Fei" shot a glance filled with sharpness, but suddenly his stomach let out a growl, causing him to lower his head in embarrassment, making him appear shorter than me

Wen Bin was stunned, and Xiao Fei sympathetically patted my shoulder, chewing on Dongpo pork while exclaiming: "That’s why I say, anyone can be let in, but letting him in is truly extremely dangerous"

He - hetushu .com .com - , still needs to continue: "Alas, my child, being too independent is not good either; it makes you difficult to discipline. Today, your brother will take the place of your father to teach you. Look here..."

Originally, the food that could last for three days was finished in just one day – this hospitality truly makes one feel heartbroken.

After hanging up the phone, I thought for a moment and listened to the outside, which had fallen silent, except for the faint sounds of the neighbors next door still bustling about. Out of respect for the well-known discerning eye of the neighbor lady, I suddenly felt a pang of conscience and knocked on the door of the neighboring house

I took out my phone, stepped forward, placed the shopping bag on the ground, then reached into my pocket and pulled out a set of keys, disregarding the sudden silence around me, inserted the key into the lock, and turned it

Hmm

I was holding onto the rice, vaguely saying: "Work"

Oh! Wenbin closed his eyes, and then his appetite surged, causing the dishes to diminish at the speed of light

New Neighbors

Alright, understood... goodbye

The boy named Xiao Fei, who was standing nearby, was already covered in black. He let out a hum and then stepped forward to start knocking on the door. The door of my house...

You are only three years older than us! Xiao Fei and I have rarely formed a united front, filled with righteous indignation.

Hello? Who is it

Who are you

Wen Bin and Luo Heng are both third-year students at a nearby key university. Wen Bin is studying finance, while Luo Heng is studying programming. The two met by chance, and their common topic of conversation was renting an apartment outside. Eventually, due to certain issues, they turned the conversation into action. Wen Bin took on the responsibility of finding a place, and soon after, he encountered the neighbor from next door.

"Damn, my sister is two years younger than me... She's not here, so go ahead and say whatever you need to."

What are you going to do

It's nothing, just asking about the character of my future neighbor

Knocker A: "Xiao Fei, don't act as if this has nothing to do with you, come over and knock."

Wenbin tapped my bowl and said: "Qingqing, do not blame your brother for being verbose. It is actually very dangerous to let three big men like us in so casually. Fortunately, we are only after a meal. If we had ill intentions towards you, even if you are a black belt, you would not stand a chance against our six hands."

Outside, there was a cacophony of wailing, to be precise, only one person was howling, while another was mocking coldly, and a third remained silent

What matters is how much you eat

Recognize

On the third floor, just as I was about to jump, I realized it was already bright.

The one who opened the door was "Little Brother Fei". Upon seeing me, he was momentarily taken aback and asked, "What are you here for?"

When you Sailor Moon replaces the moon to teach me

Clack, clack, "I have seen through your wayward ambitions..." I calmly opened the door, entered the house, changed into slippers, took the shopping bag, and then closed the door. I coldly smiled at the three people outside the security door, who remained stiff, and said, "My parents told me that when adults are not home, I should not talk to strangers, so..." with a look of regret, "Sorry..."

Hello! Xiao Fei looked conflicted, "Why did you suddenly..."

Another person, who is quite peculiar and often overlooked, maintains a silent rhythm of tapping once every second while facing away from me.

The knocker, Person A, finally looked at me again, his eyes shining with eagerness: "Little sister, do you know when this family usually returns?"

After the meal, Wenbin rushed to wash the dishes. I watched him with trepidation as his hands made a clattering sound in the sink that was enough to make one’s heart ache. To my astonishment, he managed not to break any plates despite the noise. I could only return to the sofa step by step, eating the snacks contributed by Xiaofei.

I nodded: "Go ahead and eat, just like my dad."

"Hmph, who will cook for us now?" Xiao Fei said, hands on hips, striking two knocks every three seconds.

Xiao Fei choked slightly and continued to eat in silence

I pressed my ear against the door to eavesdrop, and the person knocking was mumbling about searching for money. The three of them had only a little over 30 yuan combined, and they also needed to cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner for tomorrow. If they couldn't find work, they would also have to cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the day after tomorrow

Hmph... on what basis.
