Myrna hasn’t experienced the feeling of doing things by herself for a long time.
with Ansel , she didn’t have to ask for everything but she definitely never did this kind of physical work.
Even a few years ago, when he just started his business and his finances were tight, he still hired a part-time maid to do the weekly cleaning at home.
After finishing a bucket of paint, Myrna supported her aching waist.
After living a life of luxury for several years, I am really not used to it…
She went out to the hallway to move in the remaining paint.
No, his foot was one step faster and kicked over the bucket.
Although it was rescued in time, a small puddle of water still spilled on the doorstep of the neighbor next door.
She quickly took the mop and was halfway through cleaning when the door that had been closed suddenly opened.
When their eyes met, she was about to say sorry, but unexpectedly she saw an acquaintance.
“You live here too?”
“Why is it you?”
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Dempsey glanced down at her feet, then behind her.
“So you’re the one moving in today?”
Myrna didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence: “As you can see, from today on, we are neighbors.”
Dempsey’s eyes flickered.
The reason why he chose to live here is because it is close to the laboratory and school, which makes it convenient for him to teach students and do experiments in the laboratory on a daily basis.
But what about Myrna ? Why?
It is obvious to the naked eye that the environment here is not suitable for girls to live in. Not to mention other things, the fact that there is no elevator alone would not be the choice for young people.
Myrna saw that he didn’t move and thought he minded that he had dirty the corridor.
“I’m sorry, I spilled some paint just now. It will be fixed soon.”
She quickened her movements and cleaned it up quickly.
As they walked downstairs, she pointed at the garbage next to him.
“I’m just going downstairs. Can I take it down for you?”
Dempsey didn’t refuse. In return, he took out a folding ladder from home: “If you want to paint the wall, it’s more convenient to use this.”
“Thanks.”
With a ladder, painting the walls is much more efficient.
In just one morning, she painted all the peeling walls in her house.
It becomes clean and tidy in an instant.
After that, she selected a set of sofas, tables and chairs in the furniture store, and briefly decorated the room, and finally she was done.
After doing this, it was almost dark.
Myrna hammered her shoulders and looked around. The warm yellow light shone down, and the old atmosphere was swept away. The home looked brand new, and it seemed like a completely different world than when she first arrived.
Looking at her little nest, the bed was covered with her favorite light-colored pure cotton quilt cover. It had been exposed to the sun for a day and exuded a light and pleasant fragrance of laundry detergent.
The green plants bought in the afternoon are lined up in front of the window, and they are cute and exuding vitality.
The black and white lazy sofa is filled with pillows of a suitable size and plump shape. It is very comfortable to lean against when reading.
It can be said that although the space is small, it has all the internal organs.
“Is this your new home? It looks pretty good.”
In the video, Joanna sighed.
“Your hands-on skills are still as good as ever. You really are the strong man who single-handedly renovated our dormitory.”
Myrna smiled and said, “It’s okay. Of course you have to pay attention to where you live.”
” Myrna , you are stronger than I thought. You found a new goal so quickly.”
Joanna guessed something when she heard the new address, but she didn’t mention it.
“I’m really happy that you can come back again.”
After hanging up the call, Myrna felt a little disappointed.
She realized it too late, but fortunately it can still be salvaged.
Six o’clock.
After a busy day, Myrna hasn’t eaten yet.
There was toast and fresh vegetables in the fridge, as well as some millet.
It was too late, so she simply cooked some porridge and made a sandwich.
When returning the ladder, she thought about it and packed up a portion of porridge and a sandwich.
Dempsey was busy revising the experimental data for the paper.
Hearing a knock on the door, he left the study and went to open the door.
“Thank you for the folding ladder. Also, this is the dinner I made. If you don’t mind, would you like to have some?”
Under the light, the girl’s eyes were moist and bright.
Dempsey was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to take the thing and said thank you.
Back in the bedroom, he readjusted the data and made calculations based on the results from previous rounds of experiments.
By the time all the modifications were completed, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
My stomach is empty and I am hungry.
He habitually took out his cell phone and prepared to order takeout.
I accidentally glanced at the packaging bag under the desk lamp.
He opened it and found that it was covered with an insulating layer, so the sandwich and porridge were still warm.
He picked up the sandwich, took a bite, and was stunned.
The aroma of bacon and the freshness of vegetables, with the perfectly fried egg in the middle, fresh and sweet, whetted his appetite.
After finishing the sandwich, he scooped another spoonful of porridge. The simple and delicate taste was better than most porridge he had bought. After a few mouthfuls, his stomach also warmed up.
Dempsey raised his eyebrows in pleasure. If you are familiar with him, you will know that this is the state he enjoys.
Well, good cooking…
In a few bites, he had finished the porridge and sandwich.
Ten o’clock.
Dempsey ran into Myrna on his way back from his night run .
She changed into a casual suit and tied her hair into a bun, but she still stood out in the crowd.
“Out for a walk?”
“You run at night”
They both spoke at the same time.
Myrna nodded: “Well, come out for a walk and pick up the package.”
He slowed down, adjusted his breathing, and walked side by side with her.
“Thank you for the dinner today. It was delicious.”
Myrna : “You helped me twice, I should say thank you.”
There is a children’s park across two gravel roads.
The noise of children nearby was particularly clear.
“It’s quite lively here.”
It’s always eerily quiet in Ansel ‘s villa.
Dempsey followed her gaze.
He has lived here for more than two months, but he rarely notices these things.
Thinking of the message he received when he left, he spoke calmly:
“I just asked my junior, Professor Thoreau has been recuperating at home recently. I plan to go there at 10 am tomorrow. Is that okay with you?”
“Tomorrow at ten?”
Too fast??
At the last minute, she thought of the professor whom she hadn’t seen for six years and suddenly felt a little nervous.
“Any questions?”
“No.”
Dempsey glanced at her profile, and although he felt the woman’s mood change, he didn’t ask any more questions.
He doesn’t like to pry into other people’s privacy.
The two parted at the door of their home and went into their own homes.
Myrna took a bath absentmindedly and lay down to fall asleep.
In the middle of the night, it started to drizzle.
She tossed and turned and didn’t sleep well the whole night.
She got up early, had breakfast, and waited for Dempsey .
Ten o’clock.
There was a knock on the door on time.
She opened the door immediately and looked like she had already tidied herself up.
Dempsey was stunned for two seconds: “You can go now.”
