September 5th, 5: 20 in the morning.
Feng Bujue opened his eyes and looked at the time. He then yawned as he climbed out of the gaming pod.
"Hah …" He walked to the window and stretched before pulling open the curtains.
The morning light shone through the glass and covered the entire living room with a layer of pale white.
"Close the curtains, you bastard!" Two seconds later, Arthas complained. "Do you want to die?" She was obviously upset when she woke up.
Hearing that, Brother Jue had no choice but to pull the curtain back up. After all, the girl was still asleep, and it was his fault for lighting up the room on his own.
"Sigh … At least she won't pee anywhere now." Brother Jue comforted himself as he walked to the bathroom.
When he finished washing up and walked out, Ruo Yu happened to be at the bathroom door.
"Eh? You're awake too? "Feng Bujue asked casually.
"No …" Ruo Yu answered sleepily. "I got up to go to the bathroom."
She did look like she had not woken up yet. She did not even know that the loose t-shirt she was wearing had been 'woken up'. Just like that, one side of her shoulder and the straps of her bra were exposed. She stood before Brother Jue to talk.
"Oh …" Feng Bujue answered as if nothing had happened. He did not warn the man nor did he look at him. He merely brushed past the man and left the bathroom.
From the interaction between the two of them, it was not hard to see that … after Ruo Yu moved in, Feng Bujue had seen plenty of 'benefits', whether it was intentional or not, and Ruo Yu had gotten used to such 'accidents'. So … this situation wasn't a problem at all.
…
Ten minutes later, Ruo Yu returned to her room to sleep. Feng Bujue changed into a set of gray sportswear and put on a pair of Nikes before he went for a morning run.
He did some simple exercises in the elevator before he left the building. He put on his headphones and turned on the music player on his phone. He then set out on his route.
Usually, Brother Jue would play "Gonna Fly Now" at the top of his playlist when he was running in the morning. This morning running song … probably wouldn't go out of style even after a hundred years. Not only could it instantly get people into a running state, but it also gave people a "50% increase in training effectiveness" psychological cue.
"Hey, Little Feng, good morning."
"Mhmm, good morning to you too."
When Brother Jue passed by the market, he bumped into the landlord, Auntie Liu, who was out shopping.
"Are you out for exercise?"
"Yeah," Brother Jue said as he politely took off his headphones. "Are you out to prepare breakfast for your granddaughter?"
"Sigh ~ I'm just talking about 'Mrs. Ma' (Shanghainese pronunciation: buy, wash, burn)," the middle-aged woman replied.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Feng Bujue was about to leave. Just as he was about to say, "Then I'll keep running," he didn't expect …
"By the way …" Auntie Liu seemed to suddenly remember something. "How long are you going to keep the secret from me about the mistress in your house?"
At this moment, Feng Bujue's acting skills were on full display. Marlon Brando, Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro, Jackie Chan … Spirit Possession.
"Huh? What do you think I'm hiding? " Brother Jue used a question to answer the man's question, and from the beginning until the end, there was a natural and confused expression on his face.
However, Auntie Liu didn't buy it at all. "Haha … Little Feng …" She looked straight into Brother Jue's eyes. "I'll give you one more chance …" She paused. "… Tell me the truth."
At that moment, Feng Bujue understood one thing … If he continued to lie, he would probably die.
"Okay … Let me explain." Brother Jue sighed. "Actually … that's my friend. For some reason … she's temporarily staying with me for a while."
"Friend?" Auntie Liu's expression changed. "Girlfriend?"
"Uh …" Brother Jue replied hesitantly. "Now … should … indeed … be … able to … call her … my girlfriend." He said it in half a sentence, as if every word was squeezed out.
"Oh …" Hearing this, Auntie Liu seemed to understand something, or … she misunderstood something. "A friend is staying with you for a while, and then she's your girlfriend, right?"
"Uh …" Feng Bujue understood the meaning behind this sentence and immediately looked sideways. "It's not what you think …"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to explain to me." Auntie Liu interrupted Brother Jue. "That's the freedom of young people like you …"
It seemed that … even if Brother Jue wanted to explain, it wouldn't be useful.
"Anyway, I've already rented the house to you. As long as you don't tear it down or change it into a low-rent apartment and sublet it, it's fine." Auntie Liu continued, "More or less people … It's not a big deal." She changed the topic. "But … as an elder, I still have to give you some advice …"
"Okay … Go ahead …" Feng Bujue lowered his head and responded.
Auntie Liu continued, "I've seen that girl named Li a few times. To be fair … with her condition … it's a waste for her to be with you."
For some reason, Feng Bujue wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
"I've seen the car she drives …" Auntie Liu continued, "It seems that she's not here for your money."
The old lady was a discerning person. She knew … Ruo Yu's car was worth all of Feng Bujue's money.
"Feng, although many people have misunderstood you, I know what kind of person you are …" Auntie Liu continued, "It's rare for you to meet someone like this. I hope you can make good use of it and don't let her down. If you need any help financially, don't hesitate to ask me. If I can help … "
Feng Bujue had already guessed what she was going to say next. Brother Jue couldn't help but think to himself, "She … She thinks I'm too poor to marry her? Well … But then again … I'm not rich. At least in terms of family background, Ruo Yu and I aren't a good match. "
There were some things that people of Feng Bujue's age would never consider. It wasn't a matter of whether he was smart or not. It was because people's attitude towards life and the direction of their thinking would change with age and experience. For example … For example, the word "dream" was completely different for an eighteen-year-old person and an eighty-year-old person.
Brother Jue's situation was similar. If Auntie Liu hadn't said those words to him today, perhaps he wouldn't have realized … If his relationship with Ruo Yu really ended, he would have to face a lot of very real problems.
…
At seven o 'clock in the morning, Feng Bujue returned home.
At this time, the sun had completely risen. The golden sunlight penetrated the curtains and lit up the living room.
Brother Jue put breakfast on the coffee table and went to take a shower.
When he returned to the living room, Ruo Yu opened the bedroom door and walked out rubbing her eyes.
"I brought it back for you earlier," Feng Bujue said as he walked to the bottom of the bookcase.
"Oh … I'm going to brush my teeth first," Ruo Yu replied.
Two seconds later, she turned to Brother Jue and said, "It's so early in the morning … Why are you tidying up the bookcase?"
At this time, Feng Bujue had already moved a chair and stood on it. He was flipping through the books on the top of the bookcase, "I'm going to look for some materials to prepare for a new book." He paused for half a second and added, "Although 'The Second-Rate Detective and Cat' is still serialized, 'Two Ends of a Nightmare' has been finished. It's time to start a new book."
"Ha —" Ruo Yu yawned and asked, "You're actually so hardworking?"
There was a reason why she thought Brother Jue was hardworking … Because every time Feng Bujue published a physical book, he would give himself all kinds of reasons to take a break. Let alone start a new book, he would even stop serializing the novel … And all his readers knew about this.
"I need to save money to buy a house," Feng Bujue answered in a matter-of-fact tone without turning his head.
"Save money to buy a house …" When Ruo Yu muttered this sentence, she seemed to realize something. Her sleepiness suddenly disappeared, "… Hey … What do you mean?"
Feng Bujue didn't answer the question. He just turned around, tilted his head, and gave Ruo Yu a casual smile.
She looked at him for a few seconds, and her cheeks inexplicably flushed.
She then used a rather helpless tone and stammered loudly, "You … You're crazy!" As she said this, she ran into the bathroom and slammed the door. Brother Jue was left alone … He smiled but didn't say anything.
