Chapter 3663 3665 [Daughter of Heaven]
"It's all good, thank you. In fact, when it's really hot in the summer, I'm here in a few days. Please sit down." Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, heard the implication of her words, smiled and waved his hands.
In fact, with his martial arts skills, he is not afraid of cold or heat at all. No matter how hot or cold the weather is, he can withstand it.
“The landlord just called and asked if I still want to rent this house. In addition, your temporary residence permit is about to expire, so I came to take a look.” Rui Xiaodan explained.
"Rent. Just wait a minute." Xiang Nan nodded and said, then walked into the bedroom and took out a paper bag, "I'm ready. Here is the rent, plus water, electricity and heating deposit, a total of 7,200 yuan, you order some."
Rui Xiaodan did not check, but put the money and documents directly into the bag, and said: "I think so, I will pay you one month's rent first, and then I will see if there is a more suitable house with the same rent. If you have it, It doesn't matter if you move away, it doesn't matter. After all, you have a place to live now."
“No, it’s too much trouble for you.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, “Actually, it’s the same wherever I live.”
“It’s not troublesome. It’s not a complicated matter for you to move. I’ll just consider it and do it. But don’t mind if it doesn’t work out.” Rui Xiaodan explained.
“Where, thank you.” Xiang Nan nodded.
…
“Can I smoke?” Rui Xiaodan asked.
Because of Xiang Nan's minimalist lifestyle, she couldn't help but make a psychological profile of him, "This man has too many worries and his mind is too complicated."
Xiang Nan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Ah, sure. I'm sorry, I didn't know you could smoke, so I wasn't prepared."
Xiang Nan's politeness made the atmosphere in the room feel awkward.
Xiang Nan nodded, went to the record rack, selected the record "Daughter of Heaven" that he had prepared a long time ago, opened the box, and put the disc into the record player.
“Can I see your stereo? I heard it at the door just now.” In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Rui Xiaodan took the initiative to suggest.
Rui Xiaodan couldn't help but look at the room, and was quickly attracted by something called simplicity.
There is no decoration in the room, not a single superfluous thing can be found. In this personalized background, the dark green floor-to-ceiling curtains, milky white window screens and navy blue sofas, large sections, and extremely simple tones no longer make people feel heavy and depressing, but only calm.
The living room has a set of speakers, a double sofa that is as big as a bed, and a coffee table that is exactly the same as the one in the east room. The difference is that there are two laptops on the coffee table in the east room, and the coffee table in the living room is a top-grade Kung Fu tea set that is rare in the family. The extra-large bamboo tea tray almost takes up the entire coffee table.
"Okay, I wonder what you like to hear?" Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.
As a criminal police officer, Rui Xiaodan has studied psychology for a period of time and knows that the simpler the mind, the more embellishment and filling are needed, while the complex mind has special psychological needs for simplicity.
The only thing in the room that embodies the word "many" is the set of speakers in the living room. A pair of small bookshelf speakers are actually equipped with thirteen machines. Each one is golden, luxurious and of exquisite workmanship.
…
He can smoke, but he has no craving for it. After inheriting Xilaile's medical skills, he even quit smoking in order to maintain his health, so he did not have the habit of passing cigarettes to others. Especially Rui Xiaodan is still a lady.
“It’s lyrical, please recommend one for me.” Rui Xiaodan thought for a while and said.
There is a large bed in the bedroom. The sheets are white and flat, and the quilt is folded squarely. In the east room there is an extra large stone coffee table and a navy blue fabric sofa as big as a single bed.
Rui Xiaodan lit up a cigarette and said, "You were surprised just now."
“Yes, I’m not used to it yet.” Xiang Nan nodded.
Xiang Nan smiled awkwardly and then pressed the play button. Then a pure and spotless female voice seemed to pour down from the kingdom of heaven, as if a pair of God's eyes were looking at mankind with compassion.
With just one sound, Rui Xiaodan was stunned.
She suddenly felt a tremor as if the door to her soul had been knocked open, and she felt like a weightless object being brought to a time and space with no present or future by a mysterious gravity.
What kind of sound is this? Sometimes it's like the whisper of dewdrops, sometimes it's like the surge of magma. Sometimes it makes people dream into the ancient starry sky and listen to the spell of the goddess. Sometimes it makes people feel the tragedy and masculinity of life in the majestic momentum of the tide. His true nature, yearning for a heroic life...
"Oh my god, it's so beautiful! It's so intoxicating! It turns out that people can still live like this! It turns out that the soul can be nourished like this!" Rui Xiaodan exclaimed in her heart. She has never felt this way in all these years, from childhood to adulthood.
After singing the song, Xiang Nan lowered his voice.
"Great. What kind of music is this? Can I borrow it to listen to it?" Rui Xiaodan praised.
"Okay. This is "Daughter of the Kingdom of Heaven"." Xiang Nan nodded.
Rui Xiaodan looked at the audio equipment carefully for a while and then asked, "Isn't your set of audio equipment expensive?"
Xiang Nan took out the record, packed it, and put it in front of Rui Xiaodan, "It's okay."
“What else can you mean?” Rui Xiaodan asked persistently.
Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment, "It should be tens of thousands."
In fact, his set of speakers is worth at least 400,000 yuan. In 2002, the monthly salary of ordinary people was only 1,000 yuan. To save 400,000 yuan, you would have to work for a lifetime without eating or drinking.
"Nothing else, I'm going back. I'll send it to you after the rent and temporary residence permit are processed." Rui Xiaodan installed the record, then stood up and said.
Xiang Nan sent her out and said goodbye to her at the door.
…
After Rui Xiaodan returned home from Xiang Nan's residence, he put "Daughter of Heaven" into the computer's CD-ROM drive, preparing to feel the trembling of his soul again.
But when the music came from her computer speakers, Rui Xiaodan couldn't help but frown.
Although it is the same disc, the sound coming out is completely different.
If the sound heard in Xiangnan was a banquet of Manchu and Han Dynasties, full of delicacies, then the sound heard now is the leftovers, food for pigs and dogs.
The kingdom of heaven is no longer the kingdom of heaven, and the daughters of the kingdom of heaven are no longer the daughters of that kingdom of heaven.
Rui Xiaodan lit another cigarette, smoking and thinking.
In the quiet night, I was sitting alone on the sofa. The room was dark, there was nothing, nothing could be seen, only the beautiful little light of the stereo was on, like a little firefly in the vast night sea, giving people Heart-pounding hope and boundless reverie, while the music flows down from the sky, beautiful, illusory and pure, like the distant heaven in the legend...
She sighed once again: People can still live like this!
Rui Xiaodan suddenly came up with the idea of buying a set of speakers.
Her mother opened a restaurant in Berlin, and her father was a well-known director in the industry. She earned a salary as a police officer, and she also opened a restaurant with Ouyang Xue...
Hence, in terms of family background and income, she can afford a good stereo. Although it costs tens of thousands of dollars, it is not particularly difficult for her.
