Meet at the corner ~ the grave

Sometimes what you meet around the corner is not love, but a grave.

I am talented but not suave. I used to be a dream-chasing boy who has already exhausted his talents and penniless. Originally, I had planned to become a town youth and use the identity of a civil servant to finish my life in a plain, unremarkable and stable way.

only

That day, I was chased by a creditor and escaped into a mansion, which I didn't know was the mansion of an out-of-date actress. By accident, fate seemed to have turned a corner, and I moved into a mansion and had a not-so-dignified but well-paying job. At first I was very resistant to moving in, I needed my own space to be alone. But in the face of poverty, freedom is like a funny clown.

I had to put up with the mentally ill running accounts and try to be flattering. In fact, those boring diaries, from the day I saw them, I expected the ending - no one would buy it.

I want to talk about this actress, from the first time I saw her, it was weird. This woman lives forever in the glory of the past, rejecting all the realities in front of her (of course, if it weren't for that, how could she possibly use me to help). She's a little nervous and controlling, and I can't breathe. Even more frightening is that she actually said that she fell in love with me. Terrible, I'm not a mother control!

It was raining heavily outside, and I plunged back into my original circle. They are all crowded young people, all laughing wildly and talking about ideals. I also met a like-minded person who unfortunately was my best friend's woman. A series of phone calls pulled me back to the citrus tree again. She committed suicide because of my refusal!

I originally planned to leave, but I was caught up in this shameless feeling. Out of the spirit of humanitarianism, in the name of justice, I eat soft rice properly. The days are bright, but my identity is not.

There are only three of us in the castle, and the housekeeper is her first husband, responsible for protecting the former glory. Why doesn't the actress understand that the man who really loves her has been guarding her, but he wants to cling to me! I need to find some fresh oxygen, yes, that young woman. I want to help her fulfill our dream.

The life of one servant and two masters was finally exposed by the actress, and I had to face up to my embarrassed self, like that withered pool, coming to an end.

Oh, I still remember seeing three mice in that pool the first night. One of them turned out to be me!
