Only you are so different

Chapter 5 All Vacations Are Not To Be Wasted

On Friday afternoon, as soon as Lin Mei returned home from the office, she saw the apologetic landlord waiting for her to go home.

After talking with the landlord for a while, she had no choice but to call Su Xiuran, and said with some frustration: "Master, I may not be free to go to your house tomorrow...the apartment I rented has some problems, and I may need to find a new one." One set has moved."

After two or three weeks of getting along, although they didn't say it explicitly, they all tacitly believed that Lin Mei would also go to Su Xiuran's "work" on Saturday.

As she said that, she couldn't help but go to the bedroom and close the door, and complained softly: "The landlord is too impatient, the contract was originally until the end of the year, and suddenly said that the house is going to be sold, and he wants me to move out within a day or two... The compensation was given very readily, but in such a hurry, where can I find a suitable house? It's simply unreasonable."

Su Xiuran on the other end of the microphone pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "In that case... I still have a guest room here, if you don't mind it, you can come and stay temporarily."

Time was running short, Lin Mei weighed it, and drove a car full of things the next day, and went to Suxiuzhi.

The apartment she rented was well-decorated and provided with furniture and home appliances, so what she packed away, except for clothes and daily necessities, were books.

When she got out of the car, Su Xiuran was waiting for her in front of the door. Seeing that she came here alone without bringing a moving company, she was a little surprised: "Why didn't you hire a moving company?"

"Doesn't your address need to be kept secret?" Lin Mei opened the trunk and the back seat of the car, and began to unload the things one by one, "So I'm self-reliant. I was originally renting here temporarily, and I brought the moving company to bother me." How bad you are."

For her thoughtfulness, Su Xiuran thanked her with a smile, and then walked over to carry those heavy-looking cardboard boxes with her.

Lin Mei watched him stoop to pick up the box, and quickly said: "Master, please don't move it, what if your arms are so sore that you can't type?"

Su Xiuran slightly raised his long and beautiful eyebrows: "In your eyes, I am so weak?"

Lin Mei said "uh": "Actually, that box is all your books..."

Su Xiuran stopped immediately, why did he carry a box of books he wrote...and it was so heavy.

He controlled his emotions, silently helped Lin Mei move things in one by one, and then helped her organize them.

Like the master bedroom, the guest room is on the third floor, and it takes a lot of work to go up and down.Fortunately, Lin Mei didn't have many things, except for clothes and daily necessities, there were only some small decorations.

As for the books with three big cardboard boxes, Su Xiuran stuffed them into the underground storage room on the grounds that there was no room for the study.

When he locked those books in the dark basement, Su Xiuran felt in a good mood for some reason, but his face remained calm, and he just turned his head to look at Lin Mei who was busy mourning.

Putting her hands together, she looked at her precious book with eyes almost heartbroken. Lin Mei was still muttering: "O God, don't be lonely, I will invite you out as soon as I find a new house to worship."

Su Xiuran cleared her throat beside her and gave a low cough, indicating that her deity is by her side, and she doesn't need to worship those books that can't speak or move.

Lin Mei turned her head to look at him, and there was a trace of imperceptible condemnation in that heartbroken gaze, as if she was blaming him for being such a cruel person for not giving her a bookcase.

Su Xiuran really couldn't hold back, and made a self-destructive behavior of attacking himself: "What's so good about those books, they are just some exaggerated things."

Lin Mei's eyes widened in an instant, and she looked at him in disbelief, her voice trembling: "Master, you actually said that your book is exaggerated!"

Su Xiuran said indifferently: "For me, they are just tools to make money, and I only care about their sales."

The grief and indignation on Lin Mei's face almost overflowed: "Master, you can't do this, if these words are made public, many fans will turn black!"

Su Xiuran felt that there was no way for this conversation to continue, so he turned around and walked upstairs.

Lin Mei mourned in the basement for a while before going upstairs. Su Xiuran had already made coffee for her and was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper.

His habits are really old-fashioned. In today's era of advanced electronic information, he still insists on subscribing to several newspapers and magazines, and has a fixed time for paper reading every day.

Lin Mei adjusted her mood, thanked him first, and then promised that she would use non-working hours to look at the house next week and find a new place to move as soon as possible.

Su Xiuran's eyes were still on the newspaper, and he said lightly, "You can live here forever, and if you think it's not right, you can also pay the rent."

Lin Mei froze for a moment: "Master...would it be inconvenient for me to live here?"

Su Xiuran closed the newspaper in his hand, raised his eyes and looked at her: "Your main job now is to be my editor, of course you have to live as close as possible to me, since I have a suitable vacant house here for you You live, so why bother to look far away?" He paused for a moment and then said, "What's more, I hope you can be my help wholeheartedly. You don't have the financial ability to buy a house. What should you do if you encounter a similar situation when renting a house? Do you want to endure the loss caused by your panic again?"

Lin Mei's heart is already full of "...". She has seen the gentle Su Xiuran so much these days that she even forgot what a poisonous person he is. My God, can you stop speaking so straightforwardly about exposing people's scars? ?
She doesn't have the financial ability to buy a house, but is it her fault that the house price in city B is so high?She is just a person who has just worked for less than three years!Even if the performance is considered outstanding among his peers, he can't afford such a high house price if he doesn't care about his old age!

Seeing Lin Mei's expression of wanting to cry, Su Xiuran continued to say flatly: "So last night I spent a few minutes thinking about it, and I think it's the best choice for me to let you live here for a long time...Of course the rent If you can get a discount, it will be calculated according to half of your previous rent."

If Lin Mei was still a little hesitant before, after hearing this sentence, she immediately said spinelessly: "Master, you are right, I will listen to you."

There is no way, people who are poor must know how to restrain themselves. The half of the rent has greatly reduced daily expenses for her, and she hopes to save enough money to buy a small nest that really belongs to her as soon as possible.

Even if Su Xiuran's tone and attitude were that of a benefactor, she didn't take it to heart... Anyway, she had already realized the arrogance and duplicity of the great god.

Even if he didn't hesitate for a few seconds last night and asked her to come and live, it could be seen that he was thinking about her. After all, in such a short period of time, the brain, no matter how fast the speed of light, can only make the first reaction.

After struggling for a while, she decided to do something more practical, and said hesitantly, "But God, I still want to add a small bookcase to my room. After all, publishing is my job, and I still need a little private collection of books." of."

Su Xiuran looked at her, took out the tablet under the coffee table, called up a web page, and threw it to her: "Choose one from this furniture store, and I'll pay for it, don't insult me ​​with that simple assembled bookcase taste."

Lin Mei glanced at the handcrafted and valuable solid wood furniture on the webpage, and quietly stuck out her tongue: "What's wrong with a simple bookcase? Assembling it yourself can also improve your hands-on ability."

Su Xiuran didn't bother to look at her again, raised his hand to pick up the newspaper, opened it and continued to read.

In fact, staying at Su Xiuran's house is more convenient than other places. She doesn't need to run around in three places, which saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent on the road.Not to mention all the facilities in the guest room, Lin Mei often comes here, which also saves the process of adapting to the new environment.

Also, what she finds most convenient is that she can seamlessly supervise Su Xiuran taking medicine around the clock. After dinner, seeing him frowning and drinking medicine, it feels refreshing to finally avenge the day's revenge.

Su Xiuran was really afraid of suffering. After drinking the medicine, he needed to press his chest and frown for a while, suppressing the urge to spit it out, and his eyes were filled with water.

However, Lin Mei sat beside him gloating and staring at his face with a smile, without any intention of comforting him.

Su Xiuran didn't know whether he was angry or bitter, he coughed a few times, got up to pour water by himself.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Lin Mei ran out of her bedroom in her pajamas, and asked seriously: "Master, can I borrow the bathtub in your bathroom?"

Her pajamas had a large collar, revealing a large part of her fair and slender neck and the skin on her chest. Su Xiuran turned her eyes slightly unnaturally: "Why, doesn't your bedroom have a bathroom?"

Lin Mei was really troubled, frowned and said: "But I have the habit of taking a bath at night, my original apartment has a bathtub, but your guest room here only has a shower..."

Seeing that Su Xiuran still frowned and didn't want to agree, Lin Mei added: "Cohabitation is to take care of each other's living habits, or you can remodel the bathroom in my room, or let me use your bathroom. bathtub…”

She spoke so eloquently that she didn't even notice that she used the word "cohabitation".

Su Xiuran turned his head and coughed a few more times before he said, "You can use my bathtub...when I'm not using it."

It's a pity that Lin Mei didn't care about the second half of what he said at all, and with a cheer, she slipped past him and ran towards the big bathtub that she had been dreaming of for a long time.

Lin Mei settled down like this.Of course, Lin Mei didn't intend to tell the company about living in Su Xiuran's house. After all, both a man and a woman are single. Even if she is open-minded, it doesn't mean that others won't think too much about it. She still knows this.

Spring came quickly, and within a week or two after she moved into Su Xiuran's house, the temperature had risen significantly, and the trees and flowers in city B that had withered for the whole winter were scrambling to sprout.

At the same time, the public holiday of Qingming Festival came as scheduled. Lin Mei originally planned to use this holiday to go back to S City to visit her parents, but on the eve of the holiday, her parents called her and said that they had decided to take advantage of this time to leave the country. Play for a while, let her not go back and disturb their world of two.

While Lin Mei was depressed, she thought again: Does she need to face Su Xiuran day and night every day during the three-day holiday and then be in a daze?Or just continue to discuss work, and work overtime in disguise without salary?No matter how you think about it, it's very unpleasant!
Seeing that she had answered the phone call from her parents, Su Xiuran sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room and sighed, and said softly, "It's a rare holiday, why don't we go to relax together."

After listening to his words, Lin Mei keenly discovered the meaning: "Master, do you mean that you are willing to be my traveling companion?"

Su Xiuran nodded indifferently: "It's all right."

I have to say that Lin Mei was quite moved when she heard that Su Xiuran wanted to go out with her to relax, and she didn't know what to say for a while: "Can you go out?"

Su Xiuran nodded, and then added: "You can't take planes and trains." Seeing that Lin Mei didn't understand, he explained, "I'm still using...the previous ID card."

Lin Mei was quite surprised: "It's... Su Xiuran?"

Su Xiuran nodded, and Lin Mei suddenly remembered a detail: when she signed the confidentiality contract with Su Xiuran on the first day she came here, he did not sign in front of her, but put away the contract first up.

Could it be that "Su Xiuran" is still signed in all his contracts?In this way, the person "Su Xiuran" should not have "died" legally.

Seeing her expression, Su Xiuran said lightly again: "You guessed right, the person 'Su Xiuran' still exists legally."

This is really a rather strange phenomenon. On the one hand, the news and most people think that "Su Xiuran" is no longer alive. On the other hand, he is still legally alive and can use his original ID card.

Even though Lin Mei had doubts, she didn't ask any further questions. She was a curious person, but she also knew what belonged to untouchable privacy.What's more, she has a certainty in her heart that Su Xiuran will take the initiative to tell her the truth when necessary.Before that, she might as well avoid suspicion and not take the initiative to ask.

Seeing that she was silent, Su Xiuran no longer entangled with this issue, but raised his forehead lightly and said: "The journey is about [-] kilometers, you can choose a place."

Lin Mei agreed, and then she thought of another question: "Shall we drive? Who will drive? Me?"

Su Xiuran looked at her as a matter of course: "Otherwise?"

Lin Mei was silent, she should have put herself in the position of "driver and nanny" a long time ago, not to mention three hundred kilometers, what should the master do if he is tired from driving?
Then Su Xiuran said: "We set off two days earlier and returned two days later, avoiding the rush hour of going out of the city and returning to the city. I don't want to waste time in traffic jams."

Lin Mei was in favor of avoiding the peak, but she also had concerns: "Then I have to ask for leave for four days. I don't know if Editor-in-Chief Du will approve it."

Su Xiuran glanced at her like an idiot, and said lightly: "I told Du Yuwen, you are not taking a leave of absence." He then said confidently, "It is to accompany me to collect songs, and it is considered to be sacrificing the rest time to go on business. .”

Lin Mei was silent for a while, then Chongsu Xiuran stretched out a thumbs up: "Follow the Great God, there is meat to eat."

The holidays came in a blink of an eye, and Su Xiuran really called Du Yuwen, saying that he wanted to go to the surrounding area to gather scenery, and needed a driver and accompanying person, and hoped that Lin Mei would sacrifice his rest time to accompany her.

Of course, Du Yuwen had no reason not to agree. Not only did he agree, but when Lin Mei went to check in at the company, he also specially called Lin Mei to the office and told her to be patient with Su Xiuran. It was really wronging her to have to work overtime during the holidays. During the three days of vacation, he would instruct the accountant to double her salary.

Seeing Du Yuwen's serious and earnest expression, Lin Mei suddenly felt that she and Su Xiuran were quite...shameless.

No matter how you say it, Lin Mei and Su Xiuran quickly packed their luggage and prepared to leave early.

When they were discussing which car to drive, Su Xiuran silently asked Lin Mei to check and maintain his car first.

Although Su Xiuran never went out, there was a car parked in the basement all year round. To Lin Mei's surprise, it was not a sports car, nor a business or home model, but a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle.

Su Xiuran didn't look like someone who would like this kind of car. Seeing Lin Mei's surprised expression, Su Xiuran specially explained: "The satisfaction brought by powerful machinery cannot be replaced by other feelings."

Lin Mei agreed again and again, and Su Xiuran added for some reason: "Actually, I still have a helicopter driver's license."

To this, Lin Mei could only say: "Master, you are really a human being."

On the day of departure, they each carried their luggage and boarded the car. Although Lin Mei was used to driving small cars, she felt good about the car and got used to it quickly after setting off on the road.They set off early, before the traffic jam in the urban area started, and Su Xiuran's residence was close to the outskirts of the city, so they quickly got on the expressway and went straight to their destination in the northeast direction.

Maybe it was because he was teased for being allergic to wearing a mask last time, but this time Su Xiuran wore a pair of sunglasses, and sat in the co-pilot with his eyes closed to rest after departure.

After waiting for the high-speed toll booth, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Stop the car."

There are spacious parking lanes near the highway tollgate. Lin Mei didn't know why, so she thought he was motion sick or uncomfortable, so she pulled over and stopped the car, but Su Xiuran unbuckled his seat belt, turned his head and said to her: "Let me drive."

Parking here can't be too long, and Lin Mei didn't intend to "disobey" Su Xiuran on the road, so she quickly changed places with him.

It has to be said that the same car has completely different styles in the hands of different people.

Su Xiuran's driving style is quite different from his usual gentle and elegant appearance, even bitter. He never speeded or violated the rules, but whether it was changing lanes or overtaking, he was very straightforward.

The weather was fine, and the road was slightly reflective. Only then did Lin Mei realize that the sunglasses he was wearing today were not the big black sunglasses, but lighter in color, suitable for driving.It seems that he didn't think of it temporarily, but he was already prepared to drive long distance by himself.

It is said that the man driving is very attractive. Sitting in the co-pilot, Lin Mei looked at his sharp and smooth side face, and his clean and slender wrist bones and fingers. Against the background of the pure black leather interior in the car, it was simply Some male hormones are bursting.

Lin Mei was dazed for a moment, thinking: such a good man, but he can't make love, it's a bit painful.

Their destination was a grassland more than 400 kilometers away from the urban area of ​​City B. The location was selected by Su Xiuran. It was said that it was not over-developed, there were not many tourists, and many original ecological landscapes were preserved.

It is now April, and the forests in the north have not yet fully grown and flourished. The scenery on both sides of the highway is a bit monotonous, except for the shadows of peach and apricot blossoms in the villages that pass by occasionally.

The journey was long and Su Xiuran remained silent, Lin Mei unknowingly leaned on the back of the car and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, the car had already stopped at a rest stop on the highway. Su Xiuran didn't turn off the car, and the warm air conditioner was still running. Seeing her wake up, he curled his lips and said softly He said, "It's lunch time."

It didn't know when it started to rain outside the car, and he had already taken off his sunglasses. Under the dim light inside the car, his extremely handsome face was as clear as a sculpture.

For a moment, Lin Mei really wanted to reach out and touch his side face. When she realized what she wanted to do, she had already raised her hand. Fortunately, she had a quick reaction and turned back abruptly to scratch the top of her head. , but still couldn't hide her slightly red cheeks: "I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."

Su Xiuran smiled, with a gentle voice: "It's okay."

Lin Mei glanced at the time on the steering wheel, only to realize that it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and quickly patted her head: "You can't delay your lunch time, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Come out with the big lunch box that was prepared earlier.

With a sensitive stomach like Su Xiuran's, of course she couldn't eat casually during the journey. She got up early in the morning to make soup and porridge, and put it in an insulated lunch box for lunch.

They didn't open the door to get out of the car, they ate in the car, the warm aroma of the food lingered in the small space, Lin Mei carefully covered up her fast heartbeat, and tried to conceal that the car was a bit hot.

Su Xiu opened the skylight a crack calmly, and scattered raindrops slid in through the gap.

Lin Mei looked at Su Xiuran whose eyebrows were more relaxed than at home, and thought that maybe it wasn't her who wanted to come out to play, but Su Xiuran.

She used to think that he must like a quiet and unchanging environment, but seeing his driving skills today, and thinking that he even took a special test for a helicopter pilot's license, she realized that maybe he was not born to be quiet, and maybe he was quite fond of outdoor activities. interested in.

Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's easier to be sentimental in a small and closed space, Lin Mei thought about it sideways, and said to him: "Actually, it's not impossible to go to places that are farther away. You can't take a plane or a train. We can change our driving and avoid crowded scenic spots and cities... It only takes a few days to drive all the way to Tibet and Xinjiang."

Su Xiuran listened with a smile: "If you are really in the mood and interest, it is not impossible to drive across the Eurasian continent, right?"

Lin Mei nodded again and again: "Yeah, if you spare a month or two, it should be enough."

Su Xiuran couldn't help laughing: "I'll take you out for a couple of months...Du Yuwen might think I'm going to kidnap people."

Lin Mei recovered from her wild fantasies, and cleared her throat with a little embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I have already forgotten all the people in the editorial department..."

Su Xiuran smiled, and stroked the top of her head with his slender fingers: "I knew it."

The gentle touch passed by in a flash, leaving no trace like slush claws. It was hard to say whether it was ambiguous intimacy, which made Lin Mei's heartbeat speed up again after she had just calmed down.

Su Xiuran turned his face away as if he didn't notice at all, but there was a trace of a smile on his lips, which lasted for a long time.

At this time, they were less than a hundred kilometers away from their destination, and Su Xiuran continued to drive without talking all the way, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the grassland.

The location was arranged by Su Xiuran, and Lin Mei didn't ask about the specific arrangement of the residence. After all, she felt that according to Su Xiuran's hairy level, doing it by herself might not be able to meet his requirements, so it would be more appropriate for him to do it himself.

After getting off the highway, Su Xiuran didn't need navigation at all, and skillfully drove the car around a small road paved with only gravel.

Feeling the shock from under the well-performing off-road body, Lin Mei understood why Su Xiuran wanted to drive this car, and it needs to be maintained in advance to ensure the car is in good condition.

At this time, sporadic drizzle began to fall on the grassland, but fortunately, the gravel road was not muddy, and the distance after leaving the asphalt road was not long. About half an hour later, they walked around a small hill and saw a There are white houses built at the foot of the mountain.

Unlike Lin Mei's expected resort or hotel, the house looked lonely, without any other buildings or facilities nearby.

However, Su Xiuran drove straight over and skillfully parked the car in a small open space in front of the house.

Lin Mei watched him turn off the ignition in surprise: "This is where we will stay for seven days? It doesn't look like a hotel, does it?"

Su Xiuran turned his head and pursed his lips slightly and said to her, "Welcome to my secret base."

Seeing that Su Xiuran had already unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, and went to the trunk to pick up his luggage, Lin Mei could only follow him to get out of the car.

Before setting off, Lin Mei checked the local temperature, and specially put on a thick coat. After getting out of the car, she realized that even so, the rain still fell on her face like ice slag, which was almost bitingly cold.

Shivering from the cold, Lin Mei's first thought was not to go to the building to escape the cold, but to Su Xiuran who was wearing only a windbreaker and standing in the cold wind: "Master, it's so cold, go in quickly, I'll get the luggage."

Su Xiuran had already opened the trunk, and took out the suitcases of the two of them one by one in each hand. There were still a few pieces of stuff left, and he turned his head to signal Lin Mei to pick them up.

Lin Mei hurried over to help, everyone packed their things. When they set off, Lin Mei was busy with her luggage and didn't pay attention to what Su Xiuran had brought. Only now did she realize that Su Xiuran had brought a lot of fruits and vegetables, and Some daily necessities seem to have been prepared long ago.

This white house was built on a raised foundation, and there were seven or eight steps to walk up from the open space where they parked.

The walls of the house are decorated with white marble, and the door and the metal guardrail in front of the house are painted with milky white paint, which looks very artistic.

Su Xiuran put down the suitcase, and used the key to open the thick alloy safety door. The decoration inside was more exquisite, with an oak floor, simple and slightly heavy furniture and decoration.

Seeing these details, Lin Mei was sure that this really belonged to Su Xiuran's house, both the exterior and interior decoration were full of his style.

He piled up the items he had brought at the door, and went out to pick them up again before removing everything from the car.

Lin Mei hugged the casserole and said happily: "I thought about it on the way here. If you live in a hotel or a resort, you need to borrow fire from them to cook medicine for you. Now, it's your own house. Here There must be a kitchen, right?"

Su Xiuran looked at the black casserole in her hand, his eyelids twitched imperceptibly, and then nodded: "Yes, there is a kitchen."

Since it was Su Xiuran's house, Lin Mei would not be surprised if there were any facilities in it. After entering the door, she found that there was an electric floor heater in the house, and the room gradually warmed up soon after turning it on.

Lin Mei looked around the house curiously, and found that although the place was not small and had a large bathroom and study room, there was only one bedroom and one bed.

Lin Mei couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked Su Xiuran: "Why is there only one bed, where did Liu Han sleep when he came with you? Isn't there a simple folding bed?"

Su Xiuran has already taken off his windbreaker, is opening the suitcase, and is standing in front of the wooden wardrobe, arranging his clothes one by one. His posture is casual, even when doing such ordinary movements, there is a sense of relaxation in every move. and elegant.After hearing Lin Mei's words, he paused for a moment, then turned to look at her: "Liu Han has never been here before."

There was a hint of displeasure in his tone, but Lin Mei didn't hear it, and instead said "oh" in surprise: "That's why you said it was a secret base?"

Su Xiuran turned his head to stop looking at her, and after a while, he said lightly: "There are very few people here... I used to live here for a year, and now I occasionally come here for a while."

It was only now that Lin Mei remembered that when Liu Han was Su Xiuran's editor, she would sometimes say, "The Great Master has gone to Qingxiu again. I don't know how long it will take this time."

Only now did she know that the so-called "Qingxiu" should come here.

Su Xiuran said that he had lived here for a year, Lin Mei suddenly remembered something, and blurted out, "A whole year?"

Su Xiuran still had a calm tone: "To be precise, it's one year and three months." He paused for a moment and then added, "It was... after that, before I wrote the book."

Although Lin Mei tried her best to warn herself not to touch Su Xiuran's past, but at the moment he mentioned it first, she carefully asked: "Were you alone at that time?"

Su Xiuran looked at her sideways, and smiled: "Yes, I am alone, and my family sent people over, but after I settled down, I let them go back."

This is the first time that Su Xiuran mentioned his family. Lin Mei has never speculated about his experience and family. After all, the amount of information that Su Xiuran revealed before is too little, and any kind of guess is purely subjective. Could be far from the truth.

Lin Mei thought for a while, but she still didn't take the opportunity to ask the truth about his "death" back then, but asked: "You were just sick at that time, why did you choose this place? The medical conditions are not good."

Su Xiuran looked at her softer. He paused for a long time before answering softly: "To me at that time, a completely unfamiliar quiet environment was much more important than medical conditions..." He paused again After a pause, he continued, "I'm not allowed to go abroad. This was the best choice at that time."

Lin Mei raised her head and saw the withered and bleak scenery outside the window, her heart tightened: "Winter is here, isn't it hard?"

Su Xiuran smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, it's very quiet here in winter, you can even hear the sound of the wind blowing through the grass and falling snow, but in summer there are more tourists, it will be a bit noisy, speaking of the past few years I spend more time here in winter."

The living room and bedroom of this building are on the side of the mountain, and they are all equipped with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, with lush shrubs and grass outside the windows.

Lin Mei imagined that in the lonely winter, everything is quiet here, lying on the sofa in the living room, you can see the bright moonlight or the color of snow outside the window, if it snows, you can clearly see every snowflake falling The traces... should be very quiet and beautiful.

She was stunned for a while, then she turned around and asked, "Is this where you conceived "A Woman Worthy of Me"?"

Su Xiuran nodded, and slightly curled the corners of his lips: "I inevitably think about a lot of things every day, and I will naturally have some thoughts after a long time... What's more, I need a job that doesn't need to show my face."

His family is so rich, and he is the first heir. If he hadn't been declared "dead" eight years ago, he should be a rich man with billions of assets now.

What's more, the Su family is not the kind of nouveau riche who made a fortune within one or two generations. The capital has been passed down for more than three generations. As the heir to the family wealth, it is self-evident how he will be carefully cultivated.

And the education he received before, of course, did not include how to survive and earn a living. After all, just relying on his family status is enough for him to not have to think about these things for the rest of his life.

In terms of identity and psychological transformation, he must have experienced an unusual period of time during the more than a year here.

Lin Mei thought of this, and then felt that the fuzzy and picky things on his body might have been the result of "being close to the common people as a last resort".

Thinking of this, her thoughts turned back to the topic she was curious about when they first met: "Why did you write about a person like Shi Wenliang? In your previous life, you probably didn't pay attention to such a small character."

Her words are somewhat direct, but at this time they are no longer strangers when they first met. Su Xiuran did not reply as usual this time, "Readers will have a sense of substitution for such a character", but smiled and said: "Foreigners The form is just an appearance, each of us has almost the same experience of loneliness... At that time, my state of mind, like being at a loss forgotten by the whole world, can be experienced through Shi Wenliang."

Lin Mei suddenly realized: "I'm still too mundane, I haven't grasped the true meaning of literature, it's my superficiality! And the name "A Woman Worthy of Me" is also good. At first glance, I think it's a bit vulgar, but after reading it, I also feel that it fits well with the hopeless arrogance revealed in the book."

Su Xiuran laughed: "Du Yuwen helped me change the title of that book, saying that it would be easier to cater to the market and attract attention. The title I gave it myself is much simpler."

This is a big revelation. No one from the outside world has ever brought it up. Lin Mei's eyes lit up: "What is it?"

Su Xiuran smiled slightly: "It's called "Lifetime". I like concise titles."

After hearing this sentence, Lin Mei finally realized the "loneliness" that Su Xiuran said.

I don't know what kind of mood he was in when he created it, so he named such a tragic and funny story "Lifetime"?
The house I haven't lived in for a long time, no matter how good the dustproofing is, I still have to clean it up. Lin Mei didn't dare to let Su Xiuran do it. Do it all by yourself.

It was already afternoon when they arrived, the first day passed quickly, dusk fell, and after they had dinner, Lin Mei began to worry about how to sleep.

Her opinion is that she can't occupy the magpie's nest. The sofa in the living room is quite big and the heating is sufficient, so she can just sleep there.

Su Xiuran didn't speak after hearing this, but took a thick blanket from the cabinet, carefully folded it into a long strip, placed it on the bed in the bedroom, and put a pillow on each side.

The bed in this bedroom adheres to Su Xiuran's usual style, it is fully two meters wide, so separated, it is indeed enough for two people to sleep.

But Lin Mei was still a little embarrassed, scratched her head and said, "It's still inconvenient, it's a bed after all..."

Su Xiuran looked at her, and said lightly: "If you have a clear conscience, there will be no inconvenience."

He spoke so confidently, Lin Mei was too embarrassed to refute: "That's true."

Su Xiuran only had a slight smile on his lips, and watched her stop talking.

That night, she didn't know whether it was Lin Mei's psychological effect or the wind outside the window was too loud. All night long, she felt that there was some "woo woo" crying coming from far away but very close, which made her restless. .
