He is my neighbor



He is my neighbor

Shan Yun was instantly very satisfied and couldn't help but smile. Even the top scorer in the college entrance examination called him Young Master. It really felt great to hear others call him Young Master.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? And why are you still laughing?" Jixiang waved his hand in front of Shan Yun.

Shan Yun responded, put away his expression, and asked, "Does he come to grandma's place often?"

"Yes, Sister Yue used to work at my house, and she and Zou Weichen rented a house at Grandma Xu's. Zou Weichen used to get up early and help Grandma Xu sell buns while reading."

"Who is Sister Yue?"

"Sister Yue is Zou Weichen's sister. Later, Sister Yue got married and opened a leisure bar, so they moved out."

“No wonder he and grandma get along so well.”

Jixiang took a broom and a shovel to clean up the beans they had thrown, then sat back on the bench and looked at Shan Yun, who was playing with his phone. "What are you going to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?"

Shan Yun just remembered that all the teachers had to go to training this weekend, so there would be no make-up classes on the weekend. However, he had just arrived here and didn't know many people. He was not familiar with this place and didn't know where to have fun.

"No plans, let's talk about it after we wake up."

"How about going fishing with me?"

Shan Yun looked at Jixiang with disdain and turned the phone in his hand, "No, fishing is the most boring thing in the world. I might as well sleep at home."

Jixiang tried to persuade him, but still failed to move Shan Yun's heart.

As a result, those who wanted to sleep in woke up early the next morning.

While Jixiang was tidying up his fishing rod, he glanced at Shan Yun, who was sitting listlessly beside him, and asked again: "Are you really not going to go fishing with me?"

"The eleventh time. You have asked this question eleven times from yesterday until now. If I don't go, only a fool would sit by the river and stare blankly. Anyway, I don't understand the thinking of you fishermen."

Shan Yun was bored and scrolling through his phone. "Besides, fishing is the most time-consuming and boring thing in the world. I would rather study than go fishing."

"So you'll just stay at home for two days?"

Jiang Zhe had already made an appointment with Shan Yun yesterday. He and his teammates had an appointment with students from other schools for a friendly basketball game, and then had a dinner party. Jiang Zhe also wanted to invite Shan Yun to go meet girls together.

Shan Yun refused outright.

Firstly, he doesn't play basketball, and secondly, they will definitely talk a lot about basketball at the dinner, and as someone who doesn't play basketball, he won't be able to join in the conversation, which would inevitably be awkward.

After Jixiang went fishing, Shan Yun returned to his room to take a nap, but not long after falling asleep, he heard the sounds of quarreling and even the sound of things being smashed.

Shan Yun frowned and turned over several times, but was finally awakened by the intermittent noises.

Is there a quarrel among the neighbors?

Shan Yun has adapted to the new bed, but is still not used to the noisy environment here. Every morning, when Shan Yun is still asleep, the neighbors downstairs have already gotten up and are busy, talking loudly, just like her grandmother did more than ten years ago.

There were often sounds of quarrels, but this time it seemed different.

Shan Yun sat up, smoothed his messy hair, and looked towards the window where the quarreling sounds came from. The quarreling sounds were faint and intermittent, and he could not hear them clearly. It seemed that a man and a woman were quarreling, and the woman was crying.

Shan Yun was used to hearing the sound of quarrels. Just like his parents, they would quarrel whenever they met. However, this time it seemed more serious. There were constant sounds of things being smashed and people screaming in pain.

The quarrel made Shan Yun irritated for no reason and he instantly lost the mood to sleep. He took his clothes to wash up, then went downstairs to have breakfast before going upstairs to read a book for a while.

When he carried his grandmother's Xiaobai back to the house, the quarreling had stopped.

Shan Yun held the cat in one hand, intending to open the curtain and continue writing the test paper that he had not finished last night, but Xiaobai struggled free from his hand, hooked the curtain with its claws, struggled a few times and then escaped under the bed.

Shan Yun panicked and reached out to catch the cat, but he didn't catch it. Instead, he noticed the gap in the curtain that was pulled by the cat.

Outside the window, there was a figure on the terrace one meter away.

It’s Zou Weichen!

Shan Yun opened his mouth in shock, then reacted instantly and turned around to lean against the wall. Although he hadn't seen the face of the person on the opposite stage clearly, he could see the tall and thin figure and the familiar short-sleeved shirt and shorts.

It’s Zou Weichen, absolutely.

Shan Yun carefully lifted a small corner of the curtain and secretly looked at the opposite side.

Zou Weichen was facing away with his back to this side, his hands raised above his head. He must have just returned from a run and was doing some stretching exercises on the terrace.

The stretching movements were very standard. When he raised his hands, his waist was faintly visible, with even lines and faint muscles. Shan Yun looked down at his flat belly, which had the potential to grow into a piece, and instantly felt that he could not bear to look at it.

When Shan Yun opened the curtains again, Zou Weichen had finished his stretching exercises, turned around and went into the small house on the terrace, and soon came out again, holding clothes in one hand and a book in the other. After hanging the clothes, he opened the book and recited in a low voice.

Shan Yun squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and then he realized that the book in Zou Weichen's hand was an English textbook.

Does he love English that much?

Zou Weichen walked around with a book in his hand, occasionally raising his hands to gesture in front of him. Sometimes when he got stuck, he would tap his head with the book.

"Meow~"

Xiaobai came over and pulled at Shan Yun's trousers. Shan Yun came to his senses and looked down at Xiaobai who was looking up at him and kept barking.

Shan Yun suddenly looked up at the window; the curtains were still closed, with only the early morning light bringing a hint of ripples. He realized belatedly that he had actually been distracted by watching a person recite a book.

Xiaobai ran to the door, turned his head and called Shan Yun twice. Shan Yun smiled and walked over to open the door for him, and Xiaobai ran downstairs in a flash.

Shan Yun shook his head helplessly, returned to his desk and sat down, looking at the slightly swaying curtains, then suddenly leaned back with his head raised, looking annoyed.

How come Zou Weichen’s house is across the street?

And how come he only found out about this a week later?

Shan Yun has a habit of not liking the room to be too dark, so he likes to open the curtains, especially when taking a nap at noon.

Zou Weichen helped him decorate the room, so he must have known that his own terrace was just one meter away from the window. With the curtains open, could he be secretly seen by the other party on the opposite side?

Shan Yun covered his face with his hands and recalled what he had been doing every time he opened the curtains this week.

When I was awake, it seemed like there was no one across from me. I just didn't know if there would be anyone when I was taking a nap.

"ah!!!"

Shan Yun wanted to shout loudly, but was afraid of startling the person in front of him, so he could only shout silently to express his inner devastation.

What a cruel fate this is!

The next day, Shan Yun, holding soy milk and eating a bun, staggered to another street based on the information he got from Aunt Ji, and finally saw a leisure bar - Xingyue Leisure Bar.

This ancient city area is connected from beginning to end, and the houses share a wall or are close to each other, with no paths to pass through.

Shan Yun didn't expect that it would take him more than ten minutes to get to the front door of his neighbor's house, who was only one meter away from him.

The door of the leisure bar is made of fully transparent floor-to-ceiling glass. On the left is a rockery and water bonsai. Colorful lights are flashing in the water, and there are also a few fish.

On the right is a small promotional column in an animated style, which describes the characteristics and signature of the leisure bar, including wine, drinks, and various snacks.

The lounge bar is quite dark inside, with only blue lights as a backdrop. There is a bar counter and neatly placed tables and chairs around it. There is nothing special about the decoration. Soft and melodious music floats out from inside, but there are not many customers.

The ordering counter is at the entrance of the leisure bar. A woman is standing in front of the counter, wiping the glasses attentively.

The woman was very beautiful, with thick, wavy hair. The high-necked, tight-fitting light yellow sweater set off her figure very well. The woman's brows were very similar to Zou Weichen's.

This should be Zou Yue, the sister of Zou Weichen mentioned by Jixiang.

Shan Yun felt that the woman looked strangely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

The woman noticed the young man standing at the door and looking at her shop. She looked out from time to time with a slight doubt in her eyes.

Shan Yun didn't realize that he had attracted the woman's attention until he saw her put down the cup and looked at him walking towards the door.

He then realized that it was very rude and strange for him to stare at someone else's store. In his panic, he saw that there was a store next door, so he slipped in in a hurry.

There was no customer in the barber shop next door. Shan Yun suddenly slipped in, startling a man and a woman who were playing with their mobile phones. When they saw the visitor, they both smiled professionally.

Shan Yun looked back and saw that the woman didn't look at him. He breathed a sigh of relief and bumped into the man with eight prominent teeth.

"Hello, welcome. Would you like a haircut or a hair dye?"

Shan Yun laughed awkwardly and touched his hair. He didn't want to have a haircut, but he had just barged in like this. He couldn't bring himself to leave without showing any shame. Moreover, the boss was already approaching him and even moved two steps towards the store door, blocking the exit.

Shan Yun looked at himself in the mirror and gritted his teeth and said, "Then, fix it?"

"Okay, come over here, let's wash your hair first. The store is having a back-to-school promotion right now, and students are getting 12% off on their haircuts..."

After washing his hair, Shan Yun sat in front of the mirror. Through the mirror, he saw the barber standing behind him with a professional smile on his face. He held a pair of scissors in one hand and kept pulling his hair with the other hand, looking impatient.

Shan Yun felt vaguely uneasy.

"Brother, just cut it a little shorter, just a little bit, just cut it a little bit, and keep the original shape." Shan Yun repeatedly gestured with his fingers to the length that needed to be shortened.

Shan Yun is very satisfied with his current hairstyle, which has doubled his looks. Combined with his outfit, he is definitely a teenager at the forefront of fashion.

He didn't want to be destroyed.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional. I'll just cut it a little shorter and won't ruin your original hairstyle." As he said this, he tried the scissors in his hand to see if they were sharp.

Half an hour later, Shan Yun looked at himself in the mirror, wanting to cry but unable to. Before the haircut, Shan Yun repeatedly emphasized not to ruin the original style, and kept emphasizing and reminding him in various ways during the process. As a result, the barber cut and trimmed again and again, not only ruining the original style, but also removing all the hair on both sides.

"Look, you look more energetic and handsome now." The barber observed Shan Yun's expression and praised him in various ways.

This is thanks to the smooth lines on his face, otherwise he wouldn't be able to pull off this look.

Shan Yun gritted his teeth and paid the money. When he turned to walk out, he couldn't help but touch his hair, which was already very thin, in front of the mirror.

The boss stood aside and asked tentatively: "Handsome brother, do you want to become a member? It's only 199, and you can get 20 free haircuts, and you can also accumulate points, which can be redeemed for free trims..."

Shan Yun ran away from the barber shop without looking back.

When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but look into the lounge. The woman was lying on the table playing with her phone. Shan Yun slapped his head and said, "She, isn't she the woman I met at McDonald's that day?"

The woman sitting on the back of Zou Weichen's bicycle.
