Golden autumn October.
The neighbors across the street moved away due to immigration, and a new resident moved in less than a week later.
However, none of the neighbors had ever seen this new resident.
This wouldn't have been a big deal, but in the last few days, around one or two in the morning, I've been hearing wails coming from across the street.
Yu Lian hadn't taken it to heart at first, until two nights in a row, Cotton kept barking wildly in the opposite direction.
Awakened from her sleep and worried about disturbing the neighbors, Yu Lian immediately got up and went downstairs to bring cotton into her home.
"The cotton is being good and has stopped barking."
Yu Lian squatted down, looked at Cotton at eye level, and rubbed its head.
"Woof woof!"
Yu Lian watched as Mianhua kept calling out towards the opposite door.
A chill ran down her spine. Cotton had never acted like this before. Could it be that it had sensed something unusual?
"What's wrong?"
Yu Lian was startled when He Lin's voice suddenly rang out from behind her. Before she could react, she was taken aback.
She took a few steps back and bumped right into his arms.
He Lin reached out to support her, and the next second he picked her up.
Yu Lian struggled for a moment, about to open her mouth and call him a scoundrel.
He Lin's playful expression suddenly changed. "Shh, listen."
The atmosphere quieted down, and Yu Lian listened intently.
But 10 seconds passed and I heard nothing.
Subconsciously feeling that He Lin was playing a trick on her again, she reached out and pinched his waist hard.
He Lin grunted but remained silent, still wearing the same serious expression as before.
"Really, don't move, you'll hear it soon."
This time, Yu Lian didn't move again and waited patiently for a full minute. Just as she was about to lose patience, she heard several painful wails in succession.
"I heard that. Do you think someone might die over there? Cotton is screaming so loudly."
He Lin put her down and instinctively shielded her behind him. "Take the cotton upstairs and go back to your room first. I'll go out and check."
"No." Yu Lian grabbed his hand, preventing him from leaving.
"What if there really are bad guys?"
He Lin chuckled, "I won't leave the house; I'll just listen to the sounds in the yard."
Yu Lian was worried, so she locked the cotton in the house and followed them.
The two cautiously walked into their own yard, and the wailing became increasingly clear, making it easy to tell that the other person was a man.
"No, the neighbor across the hall said before they moved out that the house was sold to a single old lady."
As the two were quietly discussing the matter in the yard, the doorbell across the street rang.
The two exchanged a glance and looked over; it was their next-door neighbor.
Logically speaking, there should be a certain distance between the villas in the area, and the houses themselves are spacious, so most of the time they shouldn't disturb the neighbors.
But today is an exception.
The neighbor to the right across the hall is a middle-aged man with a bad temper.
Judging from the frequency with which he rang the bell, he was clearly very angry.
"Open the door now! What's going on?"
The door was banged on for quite a while.
Finally, a woman emerged, scantily clad, with a cigarette dangling from her lips.
"What's wrong?"
The middle-aged man looked her up and down, then said with a contemptuous tone, "What's wrong with you? Don't you let people sleep at night? If you think this whole area belongs to you, you can just pay out of your own pocket and buy all the houses around here."
"No one will care if you stay up all night. This is my first warning, and the last time I'll come to your door to warn you. If you make those inappropriate noises again, I will call the police immediately."
After saying that, he turned and left without giving the woman another glance.
Yu Lian thought the matter was over and wanted to turn around and leave.
But at this moment, He Lin was seen staring intently at the opposite side.
Remembering the woman's revealing clothes, Yu Lian suddenly realized what had happened, and, furious, stomped on his foot.
He turned and left.
He Lin, in pain, stood still for a few seconds before catching up.
However, he was met only by the tightly closed master bedroom door.
The children were asleep late at night, so He Lin didn't dare to make a loud noise. He could only lean against the door and ask cautiously.
"Why are you angry? I'm sorry, please open the door and I'll apologize, okay?"
Yu Lian regretted it the moment she locked the door.
I seem to have acted too impulsively; I have no right to be angry.
"What did you do wrong?" she thought to herself, but her mouth continued to attack relentlessly.
"You're wrong in every way. You're so magnanimous, there won't be a next time."
Such a perfunctory answer will naturally not be forgiven.
Yu Lian chuckled coldly in a low voice, "Keep watching if you want, but don't bother me from now on!"
Only then did He Lin understand why he was angry. However, his first reaction was not that he felt wronged, but rather that he was genuinely happy.
"I can…"
"roll!"
He Lin was speechless at her resolute attitude and dared not step forward to speak again.
His wife was angry, but he was actually very happy.
I felt completely relaxed, and then I went to the sofa in the second-floor lounge and lay down in a comfortable position.
The sky outside was gloomy and dark, but in He Lin's eyes at that moment, it was a bright and dazzling scene.
He unconsciously started humming a little tune.
The next morning.
He Lin got up early, not only prepared breakfast but also cleaned the house and fed Mianhua.
Yu Lian remained calm and composed.
He Lin came over and brought her a glass of warm water.
"The water is at just the right temperature."
Yu Lian took the glass and drank all the water in it in one gulp, then threw the glass to He Lin.
She really just threw it away carelessly; she came here looking for an excuse to yell at someone.
But to her surprise, He Lin reacted quickly and caught it steadily with just one hand, which made her even angrier.
"Your breakfast." He Lin fawned over her, offering her breakfast.
Yu Lian sat down, her expression indifferent, and chewed her sandwich in small bites.
He Lin pulled the two chairs closer together and stared intently at the person next to him.
The restaurant, which runs east-west, is bathed in sunlight that spills onto the warm-toned wooden floor, making her skin appear exceptionally fair and inviting one to kiss her.
He Lin thought this way and did this, but what he got in return was a slap from Yu Lian.
Just as Yu Lian slapped him, the three brothers came downstairs together. Mother and son looked at each other, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
"Mom...do my brother and I need to avoid this area?"
When facing the children, Yu Lian completely changed her demeanor. "No need, come and have breakfast. After you finish, your dad will take you to school."
He Lin repeated her words.
The three sons' eyes revealed an undisguised pity.
He didn't explain, but a smile played on his lips.
While they were still eating, He Lin decided not to go to work today. He would wait until he dropped the child off and then explain to her why he had been staring at the other side of the street for so long last night.
"I've taken the kids to school. Take your time eating, I'll be right back!"
Even He Ningchuan noticed that his father was different today, like ripples constantly spreading in the center of a stagnant pool.
After the four of them left home, they finally had some peace and quiet.
Only she and Mianhua were left at home.
Yu Lian took the clothes she had washed the night before to the backyard to hang them out to dry.
Cotton stayed with her too. When she was halfway through hanging the clothes, Cotton suddenly chirped twice and jumped out while Yu Lian was focused on hanging the clothes.
Then came a scream.
