Chapter 150 I Need to Talk to You
Stepping outside, it was already close to noon.
Ma Junjie walked through several narrow passages and then came to a relatively open street.
There are several fast food restaurants and some other shops on this street.
Ma Junjie casually walked into a fast food restaurant, ordered a stir-fry, and then found a seat to wait.
Ma Junjie was sketching it out in his mind.
Leaving this shop, walk along the street for about seven or eight minutes until you exit the residential area and reach the entrance of Xingda Toy Factory.
So, the little courtyard I just rented is only about a 12-13 minute walk from my workplace.
This distance is still quite satisfactory.
Ma Junjie suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for the days to come.
Once he moved in, the first thing he needed to do was get a desk.
Next, I need to buy some kitchen utensils so I can cook for myself from now on.
Living alone means I can do whatever I want.
I can sleep whenever I want at night without being disturbed by others.
Thinking about it this way, Ma Junjie's face beamed with a happy smile.
"Your stir-fried green beans with pork!"
The proprietress placed the dishes in front of Ma Junjie with her greasy hands.
Ma Junjie was in a good mood, smiled, and said thank you.
Then he picked up the bowl, filled it with rice, and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.
At this moment, the proprietress walked past Ma Junjie again with the dishes in her hand.
Ma Junjie was in a good mood and greeted them.
"Boss lady, your food is really good, the portions are generous, and it's really great value for money!"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress chuckled and couldn't help but scrutinize Ma Junjie.
"Hey, handsome, thanks for the compliment! By the way, I've never seen you before?"
Ma Junjie smiled gently.
"Boss lady, I just moved here recently, so I'll be coming here to eat often from now on."
The proprietress burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay!"
After saying that, the proprietress turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
As the saying goes, good news makes people feel refreshed, and Ma Junjie found the food much more delicious.
He ate heartily, with a deep sense of satisfaction.
With a "thud," a plate of pig's ears and peanuts appeared on my table.
Ma Junjie was startled and quickly looked up.
The proprietress looked at her with a smile.
Ma Junjie said awkwardly,
"Boss lady, did you deliver the wrong dish? I... I didn't order this dish."
The proprietress smiled faintly.
"Yes, it's for you!"
"It's free!"
After saying that, the proprietress turned and left.
"Hey, boss lady, this..."
The proprietress had already disappeared into the kitchen.
Ma Junjie stared at the dishes on the table and slowly smiled.
"Ring ring, ring ring!" Ma Junjie was startled and came to his senses.
I felt a tremor in my pocket.
He knew his phone was ringing again.
Ma Junjie wondered, who could this be?
Now, whenever he hears the phone ring, Ma Junjie feels a little flustered and uneasy, for some reason.
He really didn't want to accept it.
Because... because he was afraid it would be Jiang Hao again.
However, the phone kept ringing, and Ma Junjie couldn't ignore it.
He reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and opened it to take a look.
Thankfully, Ma Junjie breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not Jiang Hao.
Strangely enough, at this moment, Ma Junjie felt a sense of pleasure because the call wasn't from Jiang Hao.
Especially the screen display note, it says it's Gian.
Ma Junjie was even happier.
He pressed the answer button and said happily,
"Gian, what's wrong? Are you missing me again?"
Fat Tiger was taken aback, then nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes, Brother Jie..."
"Oh, wait, Brother Jie, I... besides missing you, I actually have something to ask you about."
Ma Junjie laughed out loud.
"Okay, let me guess. Is what you're talking about related to roast chicken?"
"I bet you're worried I've forgotten about buying you roast chicken, so you're calling to remind me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger grinned.
"Brother Jie, I really forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
"Brother Jie, when...when are you coming back?"
Ma Junjie laughed loudly.
"Okay, Gian, I knew it!"
"Don't worry, I'll buy some roast chicken and come back first. Also, I'll bring you some pig ears."
"Pig ears?" Fat Tiger across from him visibly started swallowing.
"Hehe, Brother Jie, you...you're too nice."
Ma Junjie listened with a smile on his face, then picked up another piece of pig's ear and put it in his mouth to chew.
"Crunch crunch..."
"Fat Tiger, if it's nothing, I'll hang up now. I... I'm still eating."
Fat Tiger replied, "Okay, Brother Jie..."
Ma Junjie put down his phone, preparing to hang up.
Suddenly, a hurried and loud voice came from the phone.
"Brother Jie, wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie put the phone back to his ear.
"Gian, what's wrong now? Do you want to eat something else?"
Gian was a little embarrassed.
"Brother Jie, no, this time it's not food."
"I had something I wanted to tell you, but I forgot."
Ma Junjie laughed.
Thinking to myself,
In most cases, what else can Gian say besides eating?
He asked casually,
"Alright, Fat Tiger, what's up?"
"I've only eaten half of my meal!"
"Okay, Brother Jie..." Fatty Tiger quickly replied.
"Brother Jie, let me warn you first, don't get too excited after hearing this. I didn't really want to tell you, but after thinking about it, I feel it's necessary to tell you..."
"Ugh!" Ma Junjie was getting quite impatient.
"Gian, can't you just get to the point? Just say what you need to say!"
Fat Tiger paused, and visibly swallowed.
"Brother Jie...you know...do you still remember Sister Guihua?"
"Sister Guihua?" Ma Junjie thought for a moment and replied.
"I remember, and Grandma Wang too. We just had dinner at her house yesterday."
"By the way, Fat Tiger, why did you suddenly bring her up?"
Gian was a little silent.
Then, after waiting a moment, he slowly began to speak.
"Brother Jie, Sister Guihua called me half an hour ago. She said... she said..."
Ma Junjie grew increasingly impatient as he listened.
He said, somewhat angrily
"Fat Tiger, what exactly did Sister Osmanthus say?"
"Hey! Fat Tiger, if you keep talking like you're constipated, I'm hanging up!"
Upon hearing this, Fat Tiger immediately shouted,
"Brother Jie, no, no..."
"Brother Jie, Sister Guihua said...she said, Hu Ling'er...is dead!"
"Huh?!" Ma Junjie was just picking up a piece of pig's ear and putting it in his mouth.
He took a bite, then froze upon hearing Gian's words.
After a while,
He spat out what was in his mouth.
He said, word by word,
"Gian, say that again?"
Gian was clearly getting a little nervous.
He mumbled something.
"Brother Jie...you...you just shouldn't get agitated..."
"Sister Guihua said that Hu Ling'er was found dead this morning!"
Ma Junjie's hand suddenly trembled.
With a "clang",
The bowls on the table fell to the ground with a thud.
With a "crack!", it shattered into pieces...
