How can you be sure it's not good fortune? It's still uncertain!

  You get what you pay for. Accommodation is no exception, the biggest advantage of my apartment is that it's cheap and convenient, but the biggest disadvantage is that the soundproofing is very poor. It's a pity that people often don't appreciate the advantages they already have, but are instead troubled by minor flaws. A room with poor soundproofing always makes one feel uneasy, especially when there's a couple living next door who are even more annoying. The Korean exchange students in the next room live just like they did back home, where nighttime is when life begins. Although I often stay up late myself, I remember enjoying it, but this newly arrived couple of lovebirds constantly argue and keep me awake.

  I kicked open the door to the next room with all my might, no matter how unsightly the situation inside was, and shouted recklessly: Do you know what it means to disturb the peace? If you do, then be quiet for me! This scene has repeated countless times in my mind, but not once have I put it into action. Generally speaking, I am a person who loves peace and avoids disputes that hurt my spirit. Comforting myself like this, I knew I was deceiving myself, and if things continued like this, both my body and mind would suffer greatly. If I didn't quickly resolve this problem, I wondered whether the power of one person could contend with those love-crazed people.

  Ah, I'm so fed up. Unable to bear the noise from next door, after many sleepless nights, I really couldn't take it anymore. On a moonlit night that was both enchanting and infuriating, I burst out of my room, running along the Flowing Sand River while shouting at the top of my lungs. Considering how late it was, I tried to be more subdued in my cries. Ah, since when did humans lose even the freedom to scream, this most primal of expressions? Has the progress of civilization replaced our innate freedom as living beings?

  I've gradually developed the habit of taking a walk at night, and once you're used to it, you'll think it's only natural. Although occasionally, for an instant, I'll recall those two culprits that made me into a true nocturnal creature, and my originally calm heart will surge with murderous intent, but immediately return to its original state. Indeed, habits are a frightening thing.

  Fortunately, it was spring, so even at night, it wouldn't be too cold, and there was a hint of coolness that made me feel very comfortable. Since I came out for a walk at night, just walking along the riverbank would be too boring, so I added some entertainment projects for myself. For example, when I walked to the city park, I would jump a section of ballet, or when I walked to an empty school playground, I would do a sprint and so on. Gradually, after experiencing the fun of night touring, I fell in love with the night.

  I was surprised to find that Bai Cangzi is also open for business at night, and it's still the same young handsome guy making noodles. Doesn't this person need a rest?

  "Good evening—"

  No choice, the flavor of the noodles is too appetizing.

  The handsome guy nodded at me and said, "A bowl of beef noodles."

  The handsome guy nodded again and started kneading the dough with a skilled hand.

  There was only me in the restaurant and the beef noodles were ready immediately.

  "The amount of beef feels like it's doubled from usual, and there are also two whole braised eggs."

  The service originally meant this, no wonder it's a hardcore man, speaking concisely - hard to understand.

  "Wow, thank you."

  The handsome guy nodded as usual.

  "I'll have what she's having."

  Just as I was enjoying my meal, a second guest arrived. I put down my chopsticks and took a look - wasn't that the slovenly landlord?

  "Good night, miss. The moonlight is enchanting tonight."

  Ugh, how disgusting. If you want to be romantic, shave off that mouthful of beard first.

  "Hey, don't look at me with such disdain. I'm just joking, uncle."

  Wow, uncle is being coquettish, not cute at all. It seems like this scene isn't the first time, it's extremely familiar, is this what they call déjà vu?

  "Good evening."

  "By the way, miss, how have you been lately?"

  What crap.

  "You seem to be doing poorly. You've lost weight."

  Ah, being disturbed all night and sleeping poorly, can't be helped. To say it again, isn't it because you, this greedy guy, rented the room to that couple for the sake of making a small profit?!

  "Ah, I never thought that letting that couple move in would cause such massive trouble, it's really a pity for you."

  Is this person a mind reader? I think he just read my thoughts earlier.

  "Can you get them to move out as soon as possible?"

  "Ah~~ I'd like to, but they're guests after all, can't drive them away, and they're paying double the rent for their stay... So, Uncle, I'm afraid I won't be able to help."

  Can I put this bowl on his head?

  "Long wait." The landlord's noodles were also ready.

  "Oh oh~~ Huh? Why does my beef have less than this lady's? And I don't even have braised egg~~~"

  She needs to build up her body.

  Wow, handsome guy is so considerate.

  "What?!"

  "Shouldn't Uncle get some benefits too? You can't be biased, young man!"

  Again with the coquetry, saying something that's supposed to be cute but ends up being creepy instead.

  "Never mind, miss really needs to make up for lost time. These days have been tough."

  It's all right, just know it then.

  "By the way, what's going on between you and Gongyang?"

  "Huh?"

  "Didn't I say so?! I'm the God of Time, and still a very popular Matchmaker, you know! I've already tied the red thread for you and Qiangyang classmate, what's the progress between you two~~?"

  Ah, it seems like I've said something like this before. This person is still cosplaying as a god in Cosp1ay.

  "Hmm... I don't know."

  "Oh no, miss, you can't go on like this. Looking at your dried-up salted fish face, it's clear that you're lacking the nourishment of love!"

  "What does dried salted fish look like?"

  "What I'm saying is not about that place, oh, someone as dull as you needs a good grinding."

  "What is being tempered?"

  "All."

  "Huh?!"

  "Then come to my home at night and do yoga with me, anyway you can't sleep well with two people. It's very dangerous for girls to go out at night."

  "How did you know I went for a walk at night?! Are you a stalker?! Going to your place isn't safer either!"

  "How can you say that about me... Uncle is a bit hurt! I'm absolutely not that kind of person, am I?"

  The uncle suddenly stood up and almost approached the ramen handsome guy. The handsome guy didn't flinch at all, still nodding deeply.

  "See? You have to believe me."

  "...Don't drag irrelevant people into this, okay? And you too, don't yield to hegemonism!"

  "It's true."

  "Huh?"

  "This is my uncle." The handsome guy quickly shook the pot.

  "Huh?!"

  "That's it, he is my nephew."

  The handsome guy nodded again. He might as well just be a nodding doll.

  My God, oh my god.

  "Who would have thought such a thing could happen..."

  "Haha. But it's strange. He often comes to my home, you should meet him frequently?"

  I racked my brains along with vague memories. Ah, it seemed like there was someone similar who went in and out of the landlord's room.

  "It's settled then, every Sunday at 10:00 sharp."

  Ridiculous, it's really ridiculous.

  This crazy old man's words are always incoherent and make people wonder, with many doubts. But for some reason, I feel a thrill of excitement and anticipation. Every Sunday - perhaps this dull daily routine will change somehow.
