Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 205 Real World (5)

After leaving the company, Jiang Qiucheng took a taxi back to his rental house.

Although in the real world, she didn't come back for just one night, in fact, she had been away from here for a long time.

The place she rents is similar to a village in the city. Nothing else. It is quite close to the subway station, which can save some commuting time to and from get off work. The house is located in a narrow alley, swallowed up by the shadows of tall buildings nearby. The half-open iron door reveals a dim light.

After entering the iron gate, he went up the stairs to the third floor and opened his own creaking wooden door. Jiang Qiucheng stared at the scene in front of him in a daze.

The area of ​​the rental house is extremely small, with almost no room for extra turning space.

As soon as you enter the house, what you see is a single bed pressed against the wall. The sheets are slightly old. This is the bedding that Jiang Qiucheng has been using since college. There are some years in it. Although it is old, it is still beautiful. Very clean.

Next to the bed was a narrow wardrobe. Several pieces of clothing were neatly folded, but they took up almost the entire wardrobe space.

On the other side of the room is a small, worn-out wooden table, which is filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items, from books to water glasses, to some daily necessities, placed in an orderly manner.

Under the table leg, there was only one lonely slipper lying quietly. I wonder if the other slipper was picked up by a mouse, but there was no trace of it.

A simple curtain hung on the wall, barely dividing the room into two parts.

On the other side of the curtain is a simple kitchen area. An old induction cooker and a small pot are all the belongings. There are still some oil stains that are difficult to clean on the tiles in the corner, making them look increasingly worn.

"pat-"

Jiang Qiucheng walked in and pressed the light switch. The weak sound of electricity sounded in his ears. After a few seconds, the light bulb was fully lit. The lamp had broken down several times, seemingly due to poor contact, but fortunately it was still working, so Jiang Qiucheng didn't care about it anymore.

The dim light makes the whole space seem more depressing. Every late night when he is alone, Jiang Qiucheng relies on this faint light to illuminate this small world.

After looking around, it seemed that there was nothing valuable in the house, but some old objects carried a lot of memories, and some were gifts from friends. Jiang Qiucheng was reluctant to throw them away, so he put them away carefully.

She spent an afternoon sorting all these things clearly, and then placed an urgent order and hired someone to come to the house to throw away the useless ones and send away the useful ones.

After taking care of everything, she stood alone in the empty rental house and took one last look.

After leaving the rental house, she immediately contacted the landlord. According to the contract, the house would not expire in half a year. Jiang Qiucheng said straight to the point that she had something to go back to her hometown and the house here would no longer be rented.

The things have been emptied, and the keys have been entrusted to the tenant next door for safekeeping. The landlord can come over to check when he is free. As for the deposit and rent already paid, Jiang Qiucheng did not want any of them.

When the landlord first received the news, he thought he had made a mistake, so he called back and recorded the message. With Jiang Qiucheng's repeated assurances, she finally accepted this fact.

After all, she used to argue with tenants, and sometimes they would fight over the two yuan deposit. She had never seen anyone voluntarily give up the deposit and rent.

As long as the money is in place, breaking the contract early is nothing. Besides, if she cleans it a little, the house can be rented out to make money immediately, which is really a good thing. After a busy day and dealing with all the trivial matters, Jiang Qiucheng felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

It's dark, and the street lights cast a faint light in the night sky, adding a touch of tranquility to this busy city. She walked with slightly heavy steps through the dimly lit streets and returned to her temporary hotel.

Entering the room, first throw your coat and handbag aside, then walk to the window and gently open the curtains.

The night outside the window was like a deep blue satin, dotted with stars and lights. Jiang Qiucheng took a deep breath, feeling the tranquility and relaxation of this moment.

Then, Jiang Qiucheng turned and walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and let the hot water slowly flow into the bathtub.

As the water level rose, a warm and moist atmosphere filled the bathroom. She took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub carefully, letting the hot water wrap around her body.

Soaking in the hot water, Jiang Qiucheng felt as if his fatigue was being dissolved bit by bit.

Close your eyes and let your thoughts drift with the water.

After taking a bath, Jiang Qiucheng felt much more relaxed. She put on a soft bathrobe, walked to the bed and sat down.

The moonlight outside the window shone on the floor, forming a mottled light and shadow. She sat quietly, enjoying this rare quiet time.

Ever since she returned to the real world, she would always fall into a daze from time to time, and fragments of what she had experienced would always flash through her scattered thoughts. After experiencing those ups and downs and thrilling days, the days now seem to have become a lot duller.

It's like eating spicy and strong food for a long time, and then suddenly switching back to porridge and side dishes one day, your mouth will always feel a little bland.

I don’t know what tasks the system will assign after I return...

There is also the interrupted world of kittens. I wonder if there will be a chance to go back. After all, she personally asked Xiaobai to wait for her. She didn't expect that such a long time would pass.

When he thought of this, Jiang Qiucheng's heart surged with a hint of apology.

Forget it, after thinking about it, these are not things that I can participate in now. It is better to enjoy this hard-earned holiday that belongs to me first.

After all, during other missions, she would more or less encounter things that threatened her life and safety. Only in the real world, under restraint and control, would it be safer.

Jiang Qiucheng put away the chaotic thoughts in his head, lifted the quilt, and got in.

Tomorrow should be the last day she stays in this city. After all, she hasn't gone home to see her mother for a while. Then she won't tell her and just appear in front of her mother to give her a surprise!
By the way, when I go back, I must bring some gifts, buy something good... Not only do I have to bring gifts to my mother, but also some relatives who are close to me, and I also have to buy some things to prepare... I used to have no money, and I have everything in my pocket. She is shy and can't give anything good. She is not short of money now, so she naturally has to do it properly.

Jiang Qiucheng dozed off while thinking about this, and soon his breathing slowed down and he fell into a deep sleep.
