"Fell?"
Jiang Xi supported his chin and looked out the window silently, ignoring Master Huang's attempts to talk to him.
In her previous life, she had returned to Shen City once, but at that time, Shen City was a huge empty city and a place of endless sadness to her. She came with hope and left in despair. In the end, until her death, she did not dare to set foot in Shen City again.
The Shanghai market twelve years later is not much different from twelve years ago.
This small southern city has always been slow-paced, and the people of the entire city, Shen, lack the liveliness of a big city. Their behavior is very elderly-like, as if they are out of touch with the times.
“…I didn’t fall.”
Jiang Xi's voice was hoarse.
It took Master Huang a while to realize that the girl was answering his previous question, "Then how did it become like this? My parents will be heartbroken later."
Jiang Xi couldn't think straight, because the thought made him want to go home: "Master, can we drive faster?"
Master Huang said "Oh" cheerfully, changed gears and accelerated, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the taxi shot out like an arrow, like a slippery fish, skillfully weaving through the flickering lights of the city.
Maoge Town is about an hour's drive from Shenshi Railway Station. After Jiang Xi paid for the train ticket and taxi fare, there was not much money left from the money he had taken with him.
But this kind of dirty money will be used up once it is spent. Jiang Xi didn't care much about it. He walked hurriedly into the alley with the few coins left in his pocket.
The night was dark, with only dim street lights along the way. Jiang Xi's heart was like a pot of boiling water, gradually boiling over with time.
Turning the alley, a low tube-shaped building comes into view.
The three-story building, with no support on either side, stood alone in the night, its doors alone. There wasn't even a light downstairs. Jiang Xi climbed upstairs as if it were normal. Her home was on the third floor, the second room on the left. It was a 50-square-meter, one-bedroom, one-living room apartment, barely enough to afford a meal.
But even this 50-square-meter house was bought by Jiang Xi's father with the money he had saved for most of his life - he borrowed 300,000 yuan from relatives and friends, and scraped together 600,000 yuan to finally buy this second-hand house.
The location is not bad, it is close to her current high school. If the house wasn't so shabby, the price would have to be raised a bit based on the location.
There is a light inside the door.
Jiang Xi took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Who is it? It's so late."
With a murmur, the door creaked open and a strange man in shorts and bare chest opened the door.
