Tang Miao finalized the house and quickly completed the transfer procedures. Half a month later, Tang Miao moved to Huaicheng.

Huaicheng is a small town located in the north of Nancheng. Although it is in the north of Nancheng, it is actually a southern city. However, compared with big cities like Nancheng, the pace of life in Huaicheng is much slower. Moreover, there is a lot of water here, and the scenery is very pleasant, which is very suitable for living.

After graduating from junior high school, Tang Miao went to work in South City. In the ten years she lived in South City, she didn't have anything special to take with her. The so-called move was just to move some of her belongings from the rental house she and Ji Junlin lived in South City to the house she bought.

From the time he chose this house to the time he completed the transfer procedures, Tang Miao had only been to this house twice. The previous landlord had the house cleaned again according to the contract requirements. Tang Miao opened the door and looked at the living room from the entrance. A sense of strangeness rushed over him from the living room.

Her name was written on the property title, but it takes time to adapt to a new home. Besides the decoration, there was no trace of her having used the house, so it was normal to feel unfamiliar.

Tang Miao stood in the entrance hall for a while, then carried his suitcase into the master bedroom.

Tang Miao rented a car to come here. Although there were few things that belonged to her in the previous rental house, except for the things she and Ji Junlin owned together, this was a move after all, so Tang Miao still packed a few large boxes.

After moving all the things into the house, Tang Miao took a shower, turned on the central air conditioning in the living room, and began to organize his things.

Things were piled up at the entrance. Tang Miao pinned her wet hair behind her head with a hairpin and took a utility knife to open the cardboard. The sharp blade cut through the tape, which was particularly clear in the quiet entrance. When Tang Miao was cutting open the cardboard and putting away the utility knife, he heard the sound of the elevator arriving from outside the door.

Tang Miao stopped putting away the utility knife and turned to look at the door.

Apparently the elevator had reached their floor. As the elevator door closed, footsteps approached Tang Miao's door. The footsteps were slow and steady, and soon they seemed to stop in front of Tang Miao's door. As the footsteps stopped, the sound of the electronic lock unlocking came from the door next door.

The female voice of the electronic lock made a mechanical prompt sound, and the next second, Tang Miao stood up and opened her door.

Tang Miao got up too late.

When she heard footsteps coming, she guessed that the person might be her neighbor, but she was afraid that it might not be the case, so she stood up when the electronic lock sounded. When she pushed open the door, all she saw was a tall and straight back of a man and a light wood fragrance.

Tang Miao moved her lips, but before she could say anything, all she heard was the crisp sound of a door closing.

When the neighbor next door heard her open the door, he closed the door without any hesitation.

The door was closed tightly and the screen of the electronic lock had gone dark. Tang Miao looked at the closed door and his hand on the door handle slowly dropped.

When she bought the house, the agent told her about this neighbor. He was a young band lead singer. He was quite individualistic and had a strong sense of boundaries with people.

Having said that, the two are neighbors after all, and they see each other every day. Tang Miao still thought that since she had just moved in, she should say hello to him.

But the opportunity to say hello was fleeting, and knocking on the door again would have been too much of a disturbance. Tang Miao stood at the door, looked at the closed door next door for a while, and then returned to his own home.

-

[You really don't want me anymore? ]

After Tang Miao put her luggage away, she went to the bedroom to take another shower. After taking a shower, she looked at her phone and saw a message from an unfamiliar number.

Seeing the content of the message, Tang Miao's eyes did not change. She ignored the message, and soon, the number sent several more messages.

You sold me out.

【Sold for 10 million.】

[Our ten-year relationship is worth 10 million. Do you like money so much? ]

[Tang Miao, you are so cruel. ]

Four messages came in a row, and the phone made a buzzing sound because of the messages. Tang Miao's palm was numb from the vibration. After this number sent her the last message, she blocked this number.

【I never thought of leaving you. 】

After blocking the number, the phone stopped vibrating. Tang Miao threw the phone on the bed, then opened the wardrobe and changed her clothes.

After a day of cleaning up the new house, it was already six o'clock in the evening when Tang Miao went out.

At six o'clock in June, it was still bright outside. After Tang Miao left the community, he first applied for a new mobile phone card at the community's mobile business hall. After applying for the mobile phone card, Tang Miao threw away the previous card.

After doing all this, Tang Miao looked around and went to a supermarket near the community.

The house that Tang Miao bought is located in the center of Huaicheng City. There is a large flow of people here, and life is very convenient. Outside the community is a commercial street with all kinds of restaurants. And just at the intersection of the traffic lights in the community, there is a large chain supermarket. At this time, the supermarket is crowded with people coming and going, and customers are everywhere.

After Tang Miao entered the supermarket, she bought some daily necessities first. After buying daily necessities, she went to the fresh food area and bought some ingredients for today's cooking, and also bought some condiments.

The kitchen in the house was fully furnished, even with unopened cooking utensils. If she wanted to cook for herself, she only needed to buy these things.

After buying the things and paying the bills, a layer of darkness covered the outside. Tang Miao carried the heavy shopping bags and walked along the road towards the community.

It was already 7:30 in the evening, and the commercial street outside the community was bustling. In residential areas like this, there were many restaurants on the commercial street. Groups of people stood in front of different restaurants chatting. Some were waiting for friends, while others came out to smoke in the middle of their meal.

Most of these people were men. The weather was hot, and the men smoking outside rolled up their T-shirts to expose their bellies. With the summer heat and alcohol as catalyst, their voices were so loud that they could shake the sky.

They mostly chatted in dialect. Huaicheng dialect was unclear and fast, and the man's voice was loud, so it was impossible to understand what they were saying. However, even so, Tang Miao still felt their gazes on her and the sudden lowered voices of several people when she passed by them.

At this moment, Tang Miao's hands holding the shopping bag began to sweat slightly.

Those men must have drunk a lot of alcohol, and the smell of alcohol and cigarettes mixed together on their bodies was particularly unpleasant. When Tang Miao passed by, the looks from the men made him feel like a thorn in his side.

She quickened her pace a little, and as she moved further and further away from them, their conversation, which had been interrupted, resumed.

Tang Miao's heart was beating a little fast, and it didn't calm down until he saw the security guard at the gate of the community.

But even after calming down her heartbeat, Tang Miao did not dare to stop and look back at the men. In fact, maybe she was too sensitive. The men were probably just afraid that she would hear what they said, so they were silent for a while. She did not look at them at the time, and they did not necessarily look at her with ill intentions.

This was just her intuition.

No matter what, she is a single woman living alone in a city where she is unfamiliar with the place, so it is a good thing for her to be sensitive and vigilant.

Thinking of this, Tang Miao breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the apartment building.

-

Tang Miao lives in the innermost apartment building in the community.

To get from the south gate of the community to the apartment building, you have to walk along the path in the middle of the community.

The weather is very hot today, and no one in the community is enjoying the cool air. The path is quiet except for a few electric vehicles passing by occasionally.

Tang Miao walked along the path, and when he reached the fountain in the middle of the community, he heard footsteps behind him.

Almost in an instant, Tang Miao's heart jumped, and the figures of the men he had just met outside the community appeared in his mind.

This is a residential area in the downtown area. Even though there are not many people at night, the public security should not be too bad. No one would dare to act wildly in such a crowded area.

But if you've been drinking and are intoxicated, the possibilities become much greater.

At first, when Tang Miao heard the footsteps, she was only flustered for a moment, trying to comfort herself that maybe she had just arrived in a new place and was a little nervous. But soon, she heard the drunken panting of a man behind her, and a strong smell of alcohol.

Tang Miao turned his head suddenly.

However, just as she turned around, she saw a figure with the smell of alcohol walking into the forked path next to the dark community path. Tang Miao stood there and watched for a while, but didn't see anyone coming.

Tang Miao moved his throat slightly, turned around and continued walking towards the apartment building.

-

There were no more footsteps behind her.

However, even so, Tang Miao did not relax her vigilance. After she arrived at the downstairs of her apartment, she did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, she waited until an aunt from the same apartment came home with her grandson, and then she went into the elevator with them.

After entering the elevator, the elevator door closed, isolating the outside world, leaving only a safe space. It was only at this time that Tang Miao was completely relieved.

The elevator went up slowly, and when it reached the 8th floor, the aunt took her grandson downstairs. Tang Miao continued to take the elevator upstairs.

The elevator quickly reached the 16th floor. When it reached the designated floor, the elevator door opened and Tang Miao walked down the elevator carrying her shopping bags. As she walked down the elevator, she heard a slight sound coming from the corridor next to the elevator.

It was the sound of feet stepping on the gravel of the cement floor. Maybe it was because the corridor was too quiet, or maybe Tang Miao was too sensitive because someone was following her on the path, but she did hear it.

When she heard it, Tang Miao did not turn her eyes to the entrance of the corridor. She carried the shopping bag and walked hurriedly towards the door of her home.

Time is like a taut string.

Just as Tang Miao walked towards her home, she felt that everything around her seemed to be tense. She did not relax because of walking, but became more alert. Just as she hurried towards the door, she heard the sound of the corridor door opening.

The moment he heard the door of the corridor open, Tang Miao turned around and rang the doorbell of the neighbor's house next door.

He Xiao was drinking water in the living room when he heard the doorbell. When the doorbell rang, He Xiao walked through the entrance and opened the door.

Outside his house, a slim woman was standing there. Her face was pale and her eyes were bright. When she saw him, her rosy lips trembled slightly with her voice.

"husband."

"I forgot my keys," the woman said.
