The black cat had been lurking here for seven days and nights.
Derek was super sleepy. He could fall asleep on the road outside. Sometimes, he fell down the hill accidentally and he didn't bother to get up. He could sleep with his eyes closed in a comfortable place on the lawn.
It seemed like he was afraid of nothing.
Once, the black cat saw him fall asleep in the bath. His whole body was soaked in water, and his head slowly sank down along the smooth bathtub. He almost drowned him.
However, the black cat, who had successfully broken into his house several times, failed to attack him again.
He was really a strange man.
There was a lot of dust in every corner of Derek's room, and he didn't ask anyone to clean up. He just packed and threw away everything that looked dirty and messy.
The black cat was very dissatisfied with the environment. It was used to being served, used to having countless servants, and used to being served food regularly.
Derek, on the other hand, would not feed a cat.
He couldn't even feed himself!
Just as Derek was thinking that he would not have any new clothes to change tomorrow, the telephone in his room rang.
It was his uncle, Larry.
"Derek, I ordered fifteen sets of clothes at the counter and asked the service assistant to deliver them to you. Remember to open the door." Larry reminded earnestly.
"And your apartment hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Why don't you go out tomorrow and I'll go clean it up..." Larry said to him in a negotiated tone.
In fact, Larry really wanted to scold him in his heart. If it was someone else, he would lose his temper. Derek wouldn't let anyone into his apartment, not even a cleaner. Several layers of dust had accumulated in the corners of his house. God had given him such a good look, but he was an idiot in life management.
"My apartment is very clean." Derek said slowly.
Larry almost choked on his internal injury. What the hell was clean? How could it be clean?
He didn't know that Derek's so-called "clean" meant to throw away everything in the house so that it had nothing and of course it was clean.
Larry, an old man in his fifties, was a charming playboy when he was young. He had dated countless women. He also had a bottom line back then. He would never marry any woman he had affair with. He was a non-marriage believer. It was the next life for him to have children.
But one day, when he came into contact with the silly Fisher boy, the bastard child, and the bad-tempered little girl Christina, Larry felt that children were not that annoying, and it was good to have some concerns.
Recently, he had been in love with Betty Eisenhower like a young man in his first love.
But he was shy to express his love. Just think about it. An elegant lady like Betty can't like a man like him. Maybe he was disappointed in love. Now Larry's attention had been turned to Derek and Christina. He liked to take care of their lives whenever he had nothing to do. It helped kill the pale and boring time for him.
Recently, Larry became more and more like a nagging housekeeper, holding his phone and reminding him with concern, "Derek, did you pack and throw away your sheets again? There seem to be a few new ones left in your house. That one was changed three days ago... It's not a matter of money for you to change these things, but I heard that the newly bought things have a high amount of formaldehyde..."
"Forget it. Next time, I'll have your clothes washed and sent over."
"And don't drink those expired things in your fridge, especially milk. The last time you drank expired milk, your stomach ached so hard and your face turned pale. You're going to the ICU in a few years if you keep doing this."
The more Larry spoke, the more energetic he became. "I bought you a lot of food in the supermarket and got someone to deliver it to you. I put it at the security guard downstairs. Remember to get it..."
Derek had a good habit of not interrupting other people's nagging. He was a very good listener. Of course, whether he really heard it or not was another matter.
"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Larry was most worried about his health, especially the last time he saw with his own eyes that he was hurt all over and was so weak that he was almost out of breath. It really scared him.
"Has anything happened recently?"
Derek subconsciously turned to look at the bedside table. The black cat was also staring at him. Just as he was about to speak, he said slowly, "There's a..."
"Did Christina call you recently? Did she contact you?" Larry was so lively that he cut him in.
When Derek heard him mention Christina, his blue eyes hesitated for a moment and then told him, "She scolded me..." His tone was calm, but he was actually a little emotional when he mentioned her.
"What?"
"Why did that girl scold you?"
Larry was very protective of him. Before Derek could say the second half of his sentence, he was already angry." She had married the Hopkins family to enjoy her life as Mrs. Hopkins. She became so arrogant, didn't she? She had already forgotten our past friendship. She's heartless. What's so good about the Hopkins family? Patrick is so sophisticated. None of the Hopkins family is easy to deal with. None of them is good!"
Larry had seen Christina and Derek grow up together, and they were engaged by her grandfather. He had firmly believed that these two were a couple.
Out of nowhere, a man named Patrick appeared and took Derek's wife away. He was despicable and shameless. Larry was really upset with the Hopkins family.
Compared to Larry's anger, Derek was not so angry about Christina's marriage. At first, he was shocked, but then he accepted it. Christina didn't seem to hate Patrick, and she didn't ask to leave.
Christina did not ask for anything from him as she did when she was a child. He would do whatever she said. Now she no longer asked him to do anything. Derek was also confused for a while. He did not know what to do in the future.
