Chapter 53 Strange Neighbors

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of Ji Qinglin's house.

Ji Qinglin was woken up with a start, and ran to the cat's eye at the door with a blanket on to take a look, only to see Luo Huan with colorful hair standing outside.

"Mr. Ji? Mr. Ji?" Luo Huan called Ji Qinglin in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing something.

Ji Qinglin hesitated for a moment, but he also felt that Luo Huan must have something urgent to ask, otherwise she, a girl, would knock on a man's door in the middle of the night.

The door opened a crack, and Ji Qinglin turned to look at her, "Luo Huan, you are..."

Seeing Ji Qinglin's surprised expression when he opened the door, Luo Huan pulled off the wig on top of his head in embarrassment, a little embarrassed, "I just came back from a part-time job, but I forgot to bring the key... So, can I stay overnight? I really have nowhere to go went."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Ji Qinglin's heart softened, and he sideways brought her in.

Ji Qinglin asked her to wait on the sofa.

Holding the mobile phone, Luo Huan sat obediently on the sofa, looked around constantly, and pretended not to ask, "Mr. Ji, do you live alone?"

Ji Qinglin, who was setting the water boiling program, paused, "Ah, no, there is another roommate."

Luo Huan became excited when he heard it, "Roommate? Is it... that kind of roommate?"

Ji Qinglin didn't understand what she meant, showing a trace of doubt.

Luo Huan took out his mobile phone, found a "treasure" video from the short video platform, and showed it to Ji Qinglin, "That's it!"

The content of the video is that two boys are sitting side by side by the bed, answering questions from netizens. When they asked what their relationship is, they suddenly pretended to be close. After talking about it for a long time, they said that the two were roommates, and they were bigger boys. After speaking, he suddenly kissed the boy beside him.

The video ended here, and Ji Qinglin's face was darkened.

For the first time, he knew that "roommate" could still be explained in this way.

The bullet screen is full of "knocked", "knocked to death" and "together".Ji Qinglin was so frightened that he quickly closed the barrage.

"I like them very much, I think they are so sweet," Luo Huan observed Ji Qinglin's reaction, and after confirming that he didn't hate them, he continued, "Mr. Ji should...don't mind this kind of thing, right?"

Ji Qinglin froze for a moment, then shook his head, "...just a little uncomfortable."

Luo Huan chuckled and called up another video, "This is the former cp of my fan, but the two separated later."

Ji Qinglin originally thought they were Internet celebrities again, but after a glance, he was surprised to find that one of the boys turned out to be a member of Huanyu's new boy group.

"...the two of them grew up together, and originally wanted to debut as a team, but unfortunately one of them went to acting. It's a pity that we are forming a boy group with a bunch of goofies..." Luo Huan was speechless in regret, pouted.

Ji Qinglin doesn't know much about chasing stars, but Luo Huan's true feelings make him dumbfounded.

Facing Luo Huan's regret, he really couldn't think of anything to comfort him.

Fortunately, Luo Huan quickly adjusted himself and smiled, "Mr. Ji, what do you do?"

"I guess it's art-related, right?"

Ji Qinglin nodded, "Photography."

Luo Huan's eyes widened, "Mr. Ji is really amazing."

Ji Qinglin was embarrassed by her, smiled shyly, and handed the mug to Luo Huan, "Thank you, drink some hot water."

The two came to the living room to sit down, and after teasing the puppy for a while, Luo Huan talked about his affairs with Ji Qinglin.

She is a student majoring in music at Lucheng University. Because she liked to pack things since she was a child, she found a housekeeping job to take care of people, and she had to go to a nightclub to work part-time as a DJ at night.

There is her special show tonight, but when I got home, I found that I didn't bring the key.

Her employer was already asleep, and she was too embarrassed to wake him up, so she could only ask Ji Qinglin for help.

That's why she knocked on the door in the middle of the night wearing a colorful wig.

"...Fortunately, Mr. Ji is a good person, otherwise I would be miserable." Luo Huan said with emotion.

Ji Qinglin smiled, and casually asked her what kind of person her employer was.

Luo Huan shrugged, "He's handsome, but he has a bad temper, he's very busy with work, and he's a bit pissed."

Ji Qinglin nodded thoughtfully, and heard Luo Huan slap his thigh and say, "He seems to be an associate professor at a foreign art academy... Ah yes, his major is photography too!"

Hearing Luo Huan say that he is an associate professor of photography, Ji Qinglin became interested in this person.

"What's his name?" Ji Qinglin felt that he might have heard his name before.

"Francis... what is it? I forgot... I just remember that he served as the chief judge of the IPA," Luo Huan glanced at Ji Qinglin, "If you want to communicate with him, you can directly send me WeChat. Last time you took the initiative to add He agreed to me on WeChat. I usually don’t use that phone very much, it’s the boss who holds it.”

Luo Huan, who realized that he had said something wrong, stumbled for a moment. Seeing that Ji Qinglin didn't notice his small mistake, he pretended nothing had happened and continued: "He has bad legs and feet, doesn't go out to meet people very much, and doesn't like to communicate with people face to face. But there is nothing wrong with communicating online, especially in academic terms, and he should be more than happy to help you out."

IPA is a sensitive word for Ji Qinglin. He thought of something, got up and walked into the bedroom, took out a certificate written in English, pointed to the name of the main judge and showed it to Luo Huan, "Is it this person?"

Luo Huan looked carefully and gave Ji Qinglin an affirmative answer.

For a moment, Ji Qinglin didn't know how to describe his emotions, he was excited, but more nervous.

Ji Qinglin squeezed his fingers, "Will he...will participate in the judging this year?"

"I don't know," Luo Huan suggested, pursing his lips, "Actually, you can ask him yourself."

Ji Qinglin put away the certificate, took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

The "Last Night" that he won the award after cooperating with Xin He was chosen by Francis himself, and now Francis lives next door to him.

This is something Ji Qinglin can't even imagine in his dreams.

But then a real question came before him - where did Luo Huan sleep.

Xie Lanchuan's room must not be moved, and it's not good for her to sleep in the bedroom with a girl. Ji Qinglin's eyes fell on his own bed.

He tidied up the room before coming out with the quilt in his arms.

"...You sleep in my room, I sleep on the sofa." Ji Qinglin put the quilt at the end of the sofa, and went to the locker to get Luo Huan's toiletries.

Luo Huan didn't mean to refuse, she agreed kindly, thanked her and went into the bathroom with her things.

Ji Qinglin's consciousness was still on the previous incident, he was shocked but also a little happy.

It's not that he didn't want to go abroad to visit world-renowned photographers, or to learn photography knowledge systematically. Now that the master has been sent to his doorstep, he can't justify it if he can't seize the opportunity.

Early the next morning, when Ji Qinglin was woken up by the alarm clock, he saw that the bedroom door was open, and there was a post-it note on the door.

Luo Huan said that she was leaving first, and thanked her for taking her in this night.

Ji Qinglin put away the post-it notes, walked to the door and glanced at the door of the neighbor's house through the peephole, thinking about when it would be more appropriate to ask Francis for advice.

The mother's call came suddenly, she said she wanted to invite Ji Qinglin to dinner, and the dining place was on the pedestrian street near the nursing home where she worked.

Ji Qinglin didn't want to go at first, but the fact that he was invited to dinner by his mother was rare, and he was a little curious about his mother's purpose, so he bit the bullet and agreed.

At 11:30, Ji Qinglin went out dawdly, and when he got out of the car to pay the bill with his mobile phone, he saw a WeChat message from Luo Huan.

Thinking that the other party might be Francis, Ji Qinglin hastily clicked on the message after getting out of the car.

Luo Huan said: Mr. Ji, Luo Huan said that you have a question to ask me?

Ji Qinglin looked at the remark, and then at this sentence, thinking about how awkward it was, he casually changed the "Luo Huan" in the remark to "neighbor".

Not surprisingly, the person who sent the message on WeChat should be Francis.

Ji Qinglin tapped and tapped on the keyboard, struggling for a while before tentatively sending "Hello".

Immediately after receiving the message, the other party's name changed to "typing in" and when Ji Qinglin was surprised that he had been waiting for his message, he replied "Hi, it's me, did Mr. Ji eat?"

A second later, another message came, "My master is eating, and now I am holding my mobile phone."

The rapid change in tone made Ji Qinglin unable to react for a while.

Only then did he realize that he missed an opportunity to chat with Francis because of his entanglement.

"I'm going to eat. Say hello to your master for me."

Luo Huan said "Yes", and asked after a while, "Is Mr. Ji at home?"

She sent a screenshot of Ji Qinglin's pet adoption information on the city's forum.

Followed by a sentence, "I found this, I want to ask if Mr. Ji is still looking for someone to adopt a dog?"

Ji Qinglin replied, "Yes."

Luo Huan moved quickly, a phone call came, and Ji Qinglin had no choice but to answer it.

"Mr. Ji, I'm at your door now, please open the door, my master wants to adopt a puppy."

Ji Qinglin froze for a moment, "I'm not at home now..."

"Ah, I'm sorry," Luo Huan realized that he was too impulsive, and laughed a few times, "I thought you were at home."

Ji Qinglin feels that Luo Huan is strange, but many of her behaviors can only be attributed to her lack of sense of boundaries when interacting with others, which does not mean that she has other plans. Ji Qinglin advises herself not to think too much.

"...My master likes puppies very much, so he asked me to ask." Luo Huan lowered his voice and said secretly, "Actually, he is too embarrassed to ask you."

Ji Qinglin smiled slightly after hearing this, and hung up the phone after making an appointment with Luo Huan to see the puppy.

He walked to the restaurant he had agreed with his mother, and through the window, he saw Liang Jing having a good conversation with a woman.

When Ji Qinglin walked into the restaurant, he was in a daze when he saw the woman's face.

That woman is Daly.

Dai Li, who was wearing a black cashmere sweater and a lace-trimmed skirt, sat quietly with Liang, who was wearing a nursing uniform and a purple cotton vest, forming a stark contrast.

The two were chatting with each other, seeing Ji Qinglin approaching, Liang Jing raised her hand and waved.

"here!"

This move attracted the attention of many customers in the restaurant.

Ji Qinglin was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a gap to get in.

He sat next to Liang Jing, opposite to Dai Li.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Dai Li praised, "I wanted to say that Xiao Ji is really a good-looking talent when we met last time, and he really matches our Xing Ruo."

Hearing these words, Ji Qinglin felt uncomfortable all over, he pursed his lips hard and forced a smile.

"Oh, don't say that..." Liang Jing pretended to be modest to Dai Li, and then asked Ji Qinglin sideways, "What's the matter between you and Dai Dai? It just so happens that Aunt Dai is here, let's discuss it."

He put down his chopsticks and looked at his mother in disbelief, only then did he realize that she called him here to "help himself" get Dai Xingruo back.

【Speak】

The identity of the neighbors is actually easy to guess.

Referring to Xiao Wang and Chen Chen, Luo Huan is not simple either.

Ji's mother's actions are suffocating.

Good night in advance! ! !
