leave this sad place

Chapter 142 Rent
"I'm back. I'll go to school to see you tomorrow." The mother's voice came from the phone.Ouyang stood in front of the window and looked at the scenery outside the window with a calm face, but he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

"No, no need. You should take a good rest for two days first." Ouyang hesitated, even though he asked her to come back, she came back without hesitation, but seeing her, Ouyang didn't have the imagination in his heart kind of joy.I haven't seen each other for many years, and some imagined beautiful feelings seem to have gradually faded in my heart.

"Then—alright." She also hesitated to answer.

Ouyang hung up the phone, feeling a little hesitant for some reason.Isn't everything developing just as he hoped?But why didn't he feel anything in his heart?
He slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the restless emotions in his heart. "Don't think about it so much, study hard, the exam will not be long." His eyes became a little dim, and he remembered the upcoming exam with great significance.

He flipped through the review materials, but couldn't calm down.

"Aren't those things about to be resolved as I thought? Then what else is there to worry about?" He asked himself, more like comforting himself.

He put down the documents in his hand, sighed softly, and walked to the window silently, his eyes became a little dazed.

"Do you have any free time now?" Another day passed, and my mother's voice came from the phone.

"Yes." Ouyang said with some doubts and hesitation.

"Then you come out with me to see what kind of house to rent." Her voice had a sense of taking it for granted.

"I don't want to go out." Ouyang closed his eyes silently, feeling a little disliked in his heart.

"Then what kind of house do you want to rent?" She seemed to be cautious again.

"Whatever." Ouyang didn't want to say anything more.He just wanted them all to come back and talk about things that were long overdue, and she had plans to come back and take him through the rest of high school.

"I originally wanted to rent a place closer to your school, so that it would be convenient for you to go to school, but I didn't find such a place. There is a good place, not too far from the school. But it's too big, our mother They don’t take up so much space, so it’s a waste to put them there, and the rent is more expensive. It’s okay if you share with others, but you won’t like it if you think about it. There is another place where the price is cheaper. But there are several big cracks in the wall, it doesn't look very safe." She didn't seem to hear his reply, and said some of her own opinions.

"Oh." Ouyang said indifferently, he had no plan to leave school and live outside at all, but he did not know why.

Moreover, her tone of voice always made him feel that she was observing him carefully, which made Ouyang feel a little sad.Could it be that the so-called family relationship can only be so thin and cold?
"Well, then I'll look for it, and I'll call you when I find something suitable." She hung up the phone after saying this, as if she was anxious to find a suitable rental house.

Ouyang glanced at the phone helplessly, and a hint of worry welled up in his heart.All of this seemed to be out of his control and became different.

"Let's talk about it after she finishes her work." He comforted himself, but left a helpless sigh.

After a while, she called again and asked: "This one is not bad, but the price is still a bit expensive. Would you like to take a look? If you think it is suitable, then I will rent it."

"It's up to you." Ouyang's helplessness deepened, he had no such plan at all.But everything seems to have really changed.

"Okay, then I'll look for it again." After saying this, she hung up again, as if she wouldn't give up until she found a suitable one today.

"Why don't you take a look at this place, the price environment is good." After a while, she heard her gasping voice.

Ouyang looked around in a daze, this situation was not what he wanted.But this time, how could I have the heart to refuse again?
"Okay, I'll be here in a while." There was a trace of inexplicable sadness in his voice.

"Then I'll wait for you at the gate of your school, and then I'll take you to have a look." There was a hint of joy in her voice.

"Oh." There was an inexplicable melancholy in his voice.

He hung up the phone and his eyes fell into a deeper confusion.

He walked on the road absent-mindedly, looking up at the front.His heart tightened slightly, because he was about to reach the gate of the school within a few steps, which meant that he was going to see her.

"What should come will eventually come." He suppressed the panic in his heart and a trace of tension in the panic.But he didn't even know what he was nervous and afraid of, the only thing he could feel was the sinking heart.

"Hey, let's go." Before he saw her, she suddenly appeared in front of him and called to him.

"Let me carry it." With a light on his shoulder, she was about to take off the schoolbag he was carrying.

"I'll do it myself." He turned slightly, and put the schoolbag strap that had slipped off his shoulder back on his shoulder.The heaviness that has been used to for many years cannot be removed so easily.

"You go ahead." He sighed inexplicably in his heart, and he didn't like this kind of feeling.

"Why?" She asked him, feeling a little inexplicable in her heart.Was he afraid that other students would see him with him?There was some dimness in her eyes, he didn't see it, and she wouldn't let him see it.

"I can't find the way." Another kind of sadness welled up in his heart. He hadn't walked with others for a long time, and it seemed that he hadn't walked with her once.

In the rolling world of mortals and the vast sea of ​​people, he felt like a lonely traveler.Pass by unfamiliar or familiar faces again and again, without stopping or looking back.

She was shorter than him, and her steps were smaller than his, which made him very depressed.

He carefully observed her back in front of him, but he couldn't find the familiar feeling in his memory.His eyes were filled with complex expressions, and there was an inexplicable stabbing pain in his heart, which made him shiver uncontrollably.

A look of sadness flashed across his face, everything had changed before he knew it.And now all that's left is to accept it?But why don't you like it?
"How does it feel here?" she asked him, wondering if he was happy with the place she'd chosen.

Ouyang looked up slightly.A 1.2-meter-wide aisle, a stove was built in the aisle, and at the end of the [-]-[-]-meter-long aisle was a bathroom the size of a single bed.There are two rooms next to it. A single bed is placed along the side of a smaller room, almost occupying half of the space; Along the way, a wardrobe occupies a third of the space.But the other Ouyang didn't take a closer look, and didn't want to take a closer look.

"The larger room has an air conditioner, so you don't have to be afraid of the heat on hot days. Not only that, but there is also a balcony outside. There is also a pool built inside, and fish can be raised in it; And there are several pots of flowers there." The landlord at the side quickly introduced the places that Ouyang hadn't seen, as if he was afraid that he would miss them.

Ouyang withdrew his gaze and stood there silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"How about I take you to the balcony to have a look? I guarantee you will be satisfied." The landlord beside him was a little anxious.

But Ouyang remains silent, his mind is not on this at all.

"And the rent is relatively cheap, as long as - four hundred a month." The landlord gestured with four fingers.

"I didn't say it just now, is it three hundred and eighty a month?" The mother on the side showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Just now, just now another family came to ask me about this house." The landlord's face was a little embarrassed, but not too embarrassing.

"How is it? Let's rent it." The landlord turned his head and asked Ouyang, even the trace of embarrassment disappeared, and his face was full of kindness.

Ouyang looked up at his mother, and saw that although her face was a little bit annoyed, there was no dissatisfaction.Slowly nodded his head, feeling a little sad in his heart, and there was even a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"So it's settled?" His mother asked him.

Ouyang nodded again, his face was calm and strange, but there was a gleam of light in his eyes.
