my artist neighbor

Chapter 4 4. Dark Guess

"Why did you move here from Huaxia, and Mr. Liu, you speak Korean very well."

"Ah, because my mother is from here, so I can speak since I was a child, but the accent problem will definitely not be corrected for a while."

His self-deprecating statement drew a string of chuckles from the girl on the other side of the wall.

Liu Xin'an didn't hear the ridicule, so he wasn't angry at the girl's laughter.

"As for moving here, I probably want to change the environment."

"Change the environment?"

"Yes, how should I put it, I have always been a little curious about my mother's country, so taking advantage of the time this time, I wanted to come and see the place where my mother lived before, but I won't stay too long, probably Just wait for about half a year."

"...Is that so?"

"Hmm, don't talk about me, haven't you rested at this time? Don't you need to work?"

Houses in this area are not cheap. Even if you rent a house, the monthly rent is a lot of money.

Liu Xin'an is not short of money, and the income of his own up owner is enough to keep him cool for a long time. He himself is also the kind of hedonistic character, so he doesn't have the habit of saving money.

But how many people in the world are as lucky as him?
The girl next door named Pei Zhuxuan is indeed very beautiful, she belongs to the type who will be amazed just by looking at it.

Uh. If you think about it this way, this person won’t be the type who found a very rich boyfriend, right?
In an instant, Liu Xin'an imagined this possibility.

Don't blame him for his shallow eyesight for a young and beautiful girl who lives alone in a luxury apartment.

"I'm in a state of rest for the time being."

And Pei Zhuxuan's hesitant answer made him more convinced of his inner guess.

It's not that he looks down on this kind of practice, life belongs to him, and he has no right to dictate other people's lives.

So as an older single dog who has been single for 26 years, he only hopes that if there is any movement next door, he can keep his voice down
Of course, this must not be said in front of other girls.

"Rest, rest well, rest more."

Liu Xin'an's embarrassing voice made Pei Zhuxuan a little uncomfortable, after all, one can tell at a glance the enthusiastic initiative and perfunctory answers.

Pei Zhuxuan recalled her answer, but didn't find anything strange, so she asked suspiciously: "Are you going to rest?"

"Ah? No."

"Then why is your voice so weird?"

"Have it?"

"Ah."

This time it was Liu Xin'an's turn to be silent. He frowned and thought about the way to reply, and after a long time he said slowly, "I'm just curious about what kind of work you do."

"I work?"

The girl's voice became a little majestic, which made Liu Xinan even more convinced of his thoughts.

Hurry up and change the subject to get down to business!

"When I installed the ceiling lamp for you just now, I saw a lot of game consoles on your TV cabinet. Do you usually like playing games?"

Pei Zhuxuan also heaved a sigh of relief at the diversion of the topic. She didn't want to expose her work. If she let the other party know that she is an artist, the other party would definitely search for news about her on the Internet curiously.

Then
She thought she would lose this neighbor she had known for less than a day.

"Games? It's actually okay. It's just that I have nothing to do recently, so I just thought of playing it."

It's been over a month since the break.

She gets really bored with nothing to do.

In addition to going out to take dance lessons and acting lessons occasionally, so that her body is not in a stiff state, she spends more time bored at home, studying some recipes.

Her sensitive identity made it an extravagant wish for her to even go out to relax. It really made her feel free, which was the time to lie quietly on the balcony every night and watch the night view.

Hmm. Now there is one more person to watch with her, which makes her pessimistic rarely feel lucky.

"Is that so, boyfriend likes to play?"

Liu Xinan's boyfriend here naturally refers to the person who is willing to give each other money every month
Don't blame him, he is still thinking about the beautiful female neighbor next door with his evil heart.

But soon the other party's weird answer made him stunned.

"Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend."

What a joke, she is already so miserable because of "swearing at the staff" that caused her reputation to explode. If she has a boyfriend again, then she can really quit the circle.

But to be honest, such a big rhythm has already made her feel that there is a high probability that she will have to live like this in the future.

Although the company asked her to wait patiently,
She has seen too many similar situations.

"Huh? No boyfriend? Then you live here."

Surprised, Liu Xin'an subconsciously started arguing, but soon he covered his mouth and forcibly cut off his voice.

And as soon as these words came out, even Pei Zhuxuan had a high probability of guessing what kind of eyes this neighbor she thought was very nice was looking at her just now.

In just a moment, the girl's face turned red, she stood up angrily, and kicked the wall of her balcony vigorously.

The muffled sound of "dong" made Liu Xin'an shrink his neck subconsciously, before he could explain, the sound of the girl gnashing his teeth made him curl up his toes in embarrassment.

"I bought the house myself! With my own money!"

"Ahaha, then you are amazing!"

Liu Xin'an quickly made a haha, trying to ease the friendly relationship that was finally established.

But as his voice faded away, the girl's voice never came from the next door.

Liu Xin'an slapped his head in frustration, he is really a bit of a villain, to think of others with that kind of vision.
I still have to apologize when I have time, no matter whether the other party will forgive me or not, at least bring my apology first.

Thinking of this, Liu Xin'an no longer said anything boring, but quietly sipped the beer that was about to bottom out, and looked at the darkness in the distance.

Yoshihisa
"Liu Xin'an."

The female voice rang out again, making his hands tremble.

Liu Xin'an coughed and asked in a surprised tone, "Are you still there?"

".if not?"

"I'm sorry just now, I'm really sorry, I hope you can forgive my morbid speculation!"

The sincere apology silenced Pei Zhuxuan.

The girl curled up on the chair, quietly like a speechless doll.

She raised her hand and gently stroked the bangs on her forehead to her ears, and sighed faintly: "I have a face that can be easily misunderstood."

"Ah? Don't say that. You are a very beautiful girl. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Liu Xin'an's tone was very sincere.

But after all, he was using dark thoughts to blindly guess others, so he still apologized very seriously: "The real mistake is to use dark psychology to guess you and me."

To be honest, Liu Xin'an was frightened by his dark speculation just now. Did the sudden rise in fame make him feel ecstatic?
He felt that he should reflect on his mentality.

But what he didn't know was how much his sincere words would affect the girl next door who was losing confidence due to various suspicions.

Pei Zhuxuan's beautiful big eyes gleamed with mist, and the vibrating pupils made her bite her lower lip tightly.

Without saying a word, she raised her hand to gently wipe away the hot tears overflowing from her eyes, then covered her nose and sobbed softly, not letting Liu Xin'an over the wall hear her losing her composure.

It wasn't until Liu Xin'an's questioning voice sounded again that she got her mentality in order.

"Then please apologize." She whispered, but her tone was firm.

Hearing what the girl said, Liu Xin'an replied seriously, "I'm sorry."

"Well, I forgive you." She forgave him with a smile.

"Miss Pei is really kind-hearted!"

"A person with a beautiful heart?"

Pei Zhuxuan didn't quite understand this obviously made up vocabulary.

Liu Xin'an thought for a while, then separated the four words and explained them to the other party in detail, and finally repeated them in Chinese.

"People are beautiful and kind."

"There are no people in Xinshan?"

"Uh, the tone of voice is a little strange. It's human, beautiful, hearty, and kind."

"Well, it's so difficult, I don't want to learn anymore."

"Eh? A little perseverance, okay?"

A girl's sniggering came from the other side of the wall.

---

When the two cans of beer were empty, Liu Xin'an was ready to wash up and rest.

He lazily got up from the recliner, stretched his body after yawning.

This considerable movement was also heard by Pei Zhuxuan next door.

The girl looked curiously at the wall between her and her neighbor's house, as if she could see the actions of the man opposite through the thick wall.

"Do you want to have a rest?"

"Well, it's past twelve o'clock, are you still not asleep?"

"I'll stay a little longer"

She has been suffering from insomnia since the accident.

Either he was awakened by a nightmare, or he couldn't sleep all night.

Seniors in the same company, or close sisters are worried about her mental state, but to be honest, Pei Zhuxuan herself is not sure whether the current self is still mentally healthy.

Maybe she is terminally ill now, but she doesn't think so.

"Sleeping too late can be bad for your skin, and you can't squander your capital even if you look pretty."

This hour of getting along has made Liu Xin'an a lot closer to Pei Zhuxuan who is next door, so he can also joke with each other very naturally.

Similarly, after Liu Xin'an's words, Pei Zhuxuan became less resistant to this neighbor who had only known each other for less than a day.

She didn't think that the person who said that was a bad person, although the other party had secretly speculated on her before.
".Well, I see. I'll go to bed early."

"Hmm, then I will withdraw first, goodbye Pei Zhuxuan."

After speaking, Liu Xin'an opened the balcony door of his own house and returned to the room.

Pei Zhuxuan, who was still curled up on the chair next door, was left thinking quietly.

By name?
Judging from the previous contact, the other party should be young, right?

Calling girls older than you by their full name is considered rude here.

In order to prevent her neighbor from making mistakes in the future, she decided that if she had a chance to chat next time, she should ask the other party to call her sister!
