Douban Diary: Four rooms

<b>The author of this article, "Zefan", welcome to the Douban App to pay attention to Ta. </b>

1. Aphasia

After breaking up with my girlfriend, life didn't seem to change.

Or go to work, go home, silence. Reading, playing the piano, in a daze.

One day, there was a knock at the door, and when the door was opened, it was a girl. Cook yourself, go straight into the house and sit down in a chair.

"Hello, I'm a resident of your upstairs, listen to you play the piano a lot, I'm bored, just come and see."

I don't think there's any reason to say no.

"I'm so bored upstairs, you just think of me as air." She said and went straight to my bed.

Do you think I'm going to be impressed with a girl like that? Not really. I'm tired of love, I've had three girlfriends, and finally all of them told me without exception, you, the person who looked pretty good at first, spent a long time together, found it boring.

The ex-girlfriend spoke even harder, and every time she tried to argue with me, I didn't talk. She was angry and scolded me for being dumb, a bitch, and deserved to be single for the rest of my life.

I also feel like I deserve to be single for the rest of my life. Such a cold personality is really not qualified to be a human being. One should go to an island and be a lighthouse caretaker and light the lighthouse regularly every day. There is only one piano in the room, the sea is damp, you should wipe the piano every day, otherwise the piano is easy to break.

Anyway, in the future, I will not have the luxury of falling in love.

This upstairs girl, said to take her as air, and I did.

How does she look? I didn't pay attention. It seems to have long hair. What is the name, it seems that he did not tell me.

Every time she came, she would lie on my bed, or sit on the floor. Casually taking a book from my desk, we moved each other around the small room, treating each other as air.

Eh, if there is such a love, you can try.

She sometimes says, "Hey, you play a tune to hear it." ”

Will also point, say who plays who is who. I just played, and there was no reason to refuse.

She would say, "If you don't play well, you should practice more." ”

Once she came and gave me a sheet of music and said let me play it.

"I wrote it."

Very soft, pop up really good, there is a touch of love.

She said: "The first time I played, it was so smooth, like getting to know each other. According to the routine of the plot, will we fall in love next? ”

I look at her, according to her first time, it seems that after a long time, I did not pay much attention to her, I am really a cold person, a person's life is so, and girls are in love so, so they will go, when they leave, they will scold me, saying that I am dumb, provocative, boring people.

I found that it wasn't that I didn't have feelings for girls, I didn't have feelings for the whole human race. If there's one thing I really care about, it's the piano.

This song is really good. There is an air of love. I decided to take a look at this uninvited guest.

Eh, it seems to have a lot of personality. Not like the average person.

"Look what I'm doing."

I turned my head and continued to be silent.

She later gave me two sheets of music, both of which were very good. We just got along. She said later, you can talk to me, you are too boring, I will not come if you don't talk.

I didn't have anything to say, "Oh."

Then she didn't come.

She didn't come, and I miss her a lot. He went upstairs and knocked on the door, and the guy who opened the door said he lived alone, not the girl I said. I knocked from the first floor to the twentieth floor of the top floor, and I didn't find the girl.

It turned out to be an illusion.

But three sheets do exist.

The next time she comes, I'll ask her, would you like to be with me?

But the knock at the door never sounded again.

2. Forget you

The house is a two-bedroom apartment, the landlord is a middle-aged man, when he posted on the Internet, said that it was his own house, the rent is not expensive, the household items are quite complete, I will go to see the house.

But he said that the house was not where he lived, it was his mother, he said that he often ran outside, work was a little busy, wanted to recruit a reliable and clean young man, first, there was a person in the house, which could offset some of his mother's loneliness, and second, his mother was somewhat forgetful, often forgot about the east and west, there was a person to live with, there was also a care.

I was a little depressed and felt that this was not his own responsibility?

But he also said, I see that you are kind-looking, cleanly dressed, if you are willing to live here, the rent can be reduced by half, and you don't have to take what you just said as a responsibility, you usually pay more attention to it, don't hinder you from anything, if there is no problem, you can sign the contract.

I saw that the rent was cheap, and his mother seemed to be a normal person, so she signed the contract.

The aunt did have some forgetfulness, but other than that it was nice, she talked to me a lot, the room was clean and she asked me to drink it every time I stewed. I was embarrassed, she said I lived with her, don't be an outsider.

She asked me what I did, and I said copywriting and explained to her that it was writing. She thought that the writers were all writers, very happy, said you are a writer, I don't want to sweep her interest, said that nothing can write.

Later she told me that she had a lot of stories in her heart and wanted to tell them to me, and if she could, write them down. I don't want to refuse her, so I listen to her. Later, I found out that the protagonists in the story she told were all a man named A Liang, her husband, who died of a heart attack two years ago. A story is sometimes told repeatedly, but I listen to it and don't want to interrupt her. And what she talked about the most was how she met Ah Liang, she said that Ah Liang often came to him when he was idle, she said that at that time people were very feudal, marriage was arranged by her parents, but Ah Liang was a tendon, must marry her. She blushed and her eyes fluttered.

In her life, she followed Ah Liang from then on, not doubting, not afraid, from famine to the Cultural Revolution, from reform and opening up to financial crisis, from the village to the city, from the city to another city. She said that Ah Liang was like a child, old and unorthodox, and after leaving her alone, she dreamed of him every night.

I was moved to hear it, but I knew I couldn't write her story well, so I had to be a serious listener. His son was really busy, but came as soon as he was free. I know I'm not qualified to educate someone so many years older than me, and I just sometimes tell him that your mother often nags you, so come and spend more time with her.

I lived there for two years and was the rental house I stayed in for the longest time. Within two years, I can say that I watched my aunt's memory slowly decline, until he couldn't remember me, he couldn't remember his son, until her son quit his job and moved in, and I naturally moved away.

Later, I thought that the reason why my aunt was so eager to tell me her love story was probably to let one more person know before she completely forgot it, which was also a comfort to herself.

Last week, I went to their house and found that this time it had completely become a rental house, and the residents said that the landlord had gone abroad.

I think I'm late.

I'll try to write her story later.

3. Empty room

When I first came to Beijing, I rented a compartment and there were 10 people living in the house. There was a grandmother and a little girl in the master bedroom, and sometimes the girl's father would come over, sometimes she would bring a woman, a girlfriend, not the girl's mother.

There are many people, and a toilet often has to wait. Once I saw the toilet door hidden, knocked on the door no one answered, pushed open to see a little girl sitting on the toilet, we frightened each other, I quickly exited, and closed the door with my hand. The moment I closed it, I heard the screams of the girl inside.

A very silent girl, usually see people bow their heads, I heard her erupt such a shout for the first time, helpless. Grandma ran over and opened the toilet door, and the girl stopped screaming.

"She was afraid of being alone in an empty room." Grandma explained to me.

Online "claustrophobia" interpretation: an anxiety about enclosed spaces. Patients often get sick in elevators, trunks, or cabins, with panic, cold sweat, shivering, loss of control, and even fainting. Once you leave the enclosed space, it returns to normal.

A crack in the door can relieve mental illness. I finally figured out why they lived on the second floor. Out of curiosity and concern for the little girl herself, I asked Grandma a lot of questions in the days that followed.

"The doctor said that I should try not to stay in a separate space, an enclosed space, so I came from my hometown to take care of Xiaoni's life."

"Staying in such a room for many people is also based on this consideration. There are fewer chances of leaving her alone in the room. ”

"Before her father and mother often quarreled, always left her alone in the room, once did not return at night, blackout, has been calling, the neighbor thought there was an accident, called the police. Since then, there have been psychological shadows, afraid of being alone in the room. His dad asked me to come over and help take care of it. ”

"Divorced, Xiaoni brought it to her father."

Xiaoni is 5 years old, and later mixed with me and will play with me. She told me she liked Dad's current girlfriend much more than mom. After Dad divorced Mom, Mom disappeared. Didn't see her again. Dad and aunt often played with her, and she especially liked to play with the carousel. She said she could turn a hundred times in place without fainting.

At the beginning, it was dizzy, and it was dizzy after five turns. Later, I slowly turned around and found that not only did I not faint, but "the room with closed doors is not stuffy anymore." ”

One day without warning, I took Xiaoni downstairs to the commissary to buy snacks, and she suddenly said to me, "Brother, I am well." ”

I couldn't believe it, she said, "I don't believe you took me to the elevator, to the 20th floor." ”

I disagreed, and she said, in order to convince me, "One day, I went around in circles a lot, and when Grandma was out, I closed the door and wasn't afraid." I especially wanted to take the lift once before leaving. ”

In the days before they left, I often took Xiaoni to take the elevator, she turned around in place, entered the elevator, took the 1st floor to the top 20th floor, and then came down, very happy. I asked them where they were going? Xiao ni said that it was time to go home, my father and aunt were getting married, and I was going to go to school at home. I asked her, are you afraid of your life later?

She said, turn around and I'm not scared anymore.

Illness can sometimes make a person carry it out. Later, I thought that maybe Xiaoni was not sick and called out, just because this was the greatest power she could exert, but the need to protect herself did not exist, and she was not afraid.

4. Debt Collection

One day, Zhou Qingying's college roommate contacted her and said that there was an accident at home and was forced to come to her to borrow money. Although Zhou Qingying's family has money, he is now interning in Beijing, and in order to prove himself, he has not asked for it from his family. Since the college roommates had difficulties, Zhou Qingying had no reason not to help, so he called all his savings of 20,000 yuan.

The roommate promised to pay back after a month, but two months later there was no news, the circle of friends was not dynamic, Zhou Qingying thought that the other party had a big difficulty, so he went to ask another roommate to see if he could help again. Didn't expect another roommate to say, don't you know she had a baby? The circle of friends is basking in the children and husbands every day, and looks very happy.

It turned out that the accident mentioned before was giving birth to a child. What makes Zhou Qingying sad is that she actually blocked her in the circle of friends.

In a fit of rage, Zhou Qingying went to find her money. And asked her, are very good friends, why do not tell her about the birth of children, but also block her circle of friends.

The roommate quickly hit haha, said don't be angry, it is estimated that it was accidentally set, recently immersed in the joy of having a child, the borrowing of money was forgotten, I will now transfer money to you.

She gave Zhou Qingying ten thousand pieces.

Zhou Light Black Question Mark Face. Three question marks were punched in the past.

"Have a question?" The other party said.

Zhou Qingying said, "It seems that I borrowed twenty thousand yuan from you at that time..."

The other side replied: "The other ten thousand will be used as milk powder money for my son, don't be so stingy." And attached a smiley face.

Zhou Qingying was so angry that he wanted to drop his mobile phone, thinking that the mobile phone had just been bought, so he threw the mobile phone on the sofa.

After a minute of relaxation, the roommate was blocked.

At night, Zhou Qingying hid in the room and cried, and the more he cried, the more sad he became. She couldn't figure out how her once good friend could change, how to say that she would change, and she was hot-blooded and righteous, but she was treated like this by the other party.

As her roommate and friend, I went to knock on the door, and the pajamas I had just changed into were a mess of tears and snot. I sighed and promised to help her think of a way.

Over the next week, I went online to analyze Zhou's roommate's social network and figured out her basic information. For example, she is timid but loves to watch horror stories, and recently gave a horrible story a thumbs up, such as her lost astrolabe horoscope, often forwarding koi, such as her account two years ago once asked online "Is abortion surgery harmful to the body?" ”。

Combined with Zhou Qingying's information, the general portrait came out, the housemate had made a scumbag in college, accidentally pregnant and beaten off, went home after graduation to go on a blind date, usually hobby is to check their own fortunes, and watch horror stories for recreation, during the marriage also had ambiguous relationships with several online boys, and did not have deep feelings for the current husband.

I read the horror novel that my roommate recently liked, which happened to tell a ghost baby story, and every night the bell rang at twelve o'clock, calling the girl "Mom". So I set up a doll tone: "Mom, do I have a brother?" "Call your roommate at twelve. After three nights of playing, the housemate began to feel frightened, and her account went online to ask, "Every night at twelve o'clock there are always mischievous calls, will the police deal with it?" ”

I replied with an astrolabe chart that I had prepared, saying that the prank call was not shouting "Mommy", and based on the information I had in advance, pretended to analyze my roommate's birthday, horoscope, future horoscope, and places to pay attention to. When the housemate found out that God was accurate, he suddenly called me "Master" and asked what should I do?

The way I gave it was to change the broken mirror of the room, the crib head to the south, not to put a vase in the room, and to cut off the connection with the man surnamed Huang. This information was all obtained from my interaction with friends based on her Weibo bedroom selfie.

Special instructions are also given: special attention must be paid to in the near future, especially avoiding construction, travel, and debt. If complied, the coming Month will be a period of highs and the situation will be good. You should proactively strengthen your connection with old friends. Be vigilant, understand the truth that things must be reversed, and use the goodness of the present to make up for the mistakes of the past. Otherwise there will be disasters. My roommate saw that my sentences were to the point and did it one by one.

In the evening, the roommate called Zhou Qingying ten thousand pieces and said a lot of sorry words. Zhou Qingying did not know, thinking that the housemate's conscience had found out and finally forgave her.

Zhou Qingying asked me, "What method did you use to get her to pay back the money?" ”

I said, "I told her a bunch of truths, and in the end she was impressed by me." ”

Zhou Qingying will believe in it, because the promise is first, she will be a quarter of ten thousand yuan as my debt collection reward.
