Chapter 51
"When you are in class."
The boy continued to draw the map.
"Can you memorize it when you hear it?"
"You read too many times." The boy replied coldly.
Teacher Wong:…………
He has only read it a dozen times. Shouldn't it be necessary to teach English, he coughed: "Come to my office after class."
Seeing that the boy didn't lift his head, he added, "If you don't come, I'll go to your house."
Teacher Wang's voice fell, and Shen Chi's hand holding the pen paused.
After class, the teenager walked to the office with his schoolbag on his back.
"I took a look at your grades in Yanwai." Teacher Wang stood up from the chair, "The grades can be said to be very unsatisfactory, but you have a good memory, and you have chosen liberal arts, so you should be fine in taking a specialist. You can still go to undergraduate, as long as you can concentrate on your studies this year.”
Hearing the last sentence, Shen Chi lowered his head, and said with a vague emotion, "It's all third year in high school."
The boy turned and left the office.
When Shen Chi came home, he walked very slowly when he walked to the door. If Ji's mother came to coax him, he would not talk to her.
At least, not speaking for a week.
He slowly opened the door with the key. Ji's father and Ji's mother didn't know if they went to the hospital. The second day, the third day, the fourth day... He was always alone in the house, as if it didn't matter-
forgotten.
He didn't wait any longer, but silently walked into his room, packed his clothes and put them in the suitcase, and packed the computer in a black host.
The red-haired boy left Ji's house with a bag and a suitcase. He didn't bring anything but his own, just like when he came.
He turned on his phone and sent a message to Yan Xueyiao.
[Shen Chi] Have you ever rented a house outside?
After a while, he received a response.
【Yan Xuexiao】No
Shen Chi remembered that Yan Xuexiao was still studying, and he should live in either a home or a dormitory. He carried the suitcase in his right hand and typed a reply with one hand.
[Shen Chi] Then let me see how to rent a house by myself.
When he was about to turn off the phone, a message appeared on the screen, like a silent question.
[Yan Xuexiao] Are you rich?
The teenager looked at the screen and suddenly realized a problem. He didn't have any money on him, so he couldn't move out at all. His head dropped again, and he replied slowly.
【Shen Chi】No
But even so, he didn't want to go back, he could go anywhere, even if he spent the night under the overpass, he thought silently in his heart.
As if he could hear his voice, at this moment, the phone vibrated, and a message flashed across the live broadcast room.
[Anonymous users reward you with a small fish gānx3000]
The boy's footsteps froze. He seemed to often receive small fish from anonymous users. After thinking for a while, he didn't come up with any results, so he opened the local rental website in Border Town.
There are a lot of small apartments for rent on the website, but when he knew that he was a minor, he was unwilling to rent the house to him, and only one person replied to him.
The room in the picture is small, with a kitchen and a bathroom, which is better than the light, and has floor-to-ceiling windows on one wall. He found the house according to the address on the website.
The house is not far from the school, in a row of old residential houses. A woman with curly hair saw him, put out the cigarette butt in her hand and asked, "Are you here to rent a house? Come with me."
With a heavy bag on his back, he carefully surveyed the surrounding environment. It was worse than the house he lived in before. The smell of sewers was recklessly diffused in the crowded alley, and there were small advertisements with pictures of luǒ women posted in the corridors.
"This is it." The woman led him into a room at the end of the second floor.
It's more broken than it looks in the photos, the walls are engraved with crooked characters, and the sun-facing windows are stained and dirty.
The young man frowned.
The woman in the red dress seemed to see what he was thinking, and lit another cigarette: "No one wants to rent a house to a minor, if you want to rent it, I can rent it to you as long as you pay a deposit of 1500 yuan. , the original amount will be returned when the lease is cancelled.”
Shen Chi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
He paid a deposit of 1,500 yuan and a month's rent, and he only had 500 yuan left after signing the contract.
When he left home, he didn't bring anything except his suitcase and computer. After reconnecting the network cable, he also needed to buy a quilt and daily necessities.
The boy cautiously locked the door, walked out of the house, and entered a nearby small supermarket. The supermarket was quite complete. He bought a quilt and essential daily necessities for autumn.
Because there is a kitchen in the room, he can cook at home by himself, so he went to the refrigerator in the supermarket. A package of quick-frozen dumplings cost 38 yuan, enough for three days.
The young man hesitated for a while looking at the price, but put the dumplings back in the freezer and picked up a pack of noodles for seven yuan and nine.
He returned home with a bag in his hand, worked hard to clean his house, wiped the glass with a wet towel mixed with cleaning, and the gray window suddenly became clean, and the light of the setting sun came in from the floor-to-ceiling window.
The fading sunlight was vividly reflected on his face, and the teenager, still wearing an apron, took a picture against the window.
[Shen Chi] I have rented a house

Yan Xueyiao was sitting in the library reading a book when she received a photo from Shen Chi. It was a picture of the sky outside the window.
