A rain, a coolness, the ripples drawn by the fallen leaves are like a promise in the heart, can not be calmed only drifting, that encounter, a legend, the years are far away, still remember what you said, there is love, the world is no longer indifferent.

After all, he came to Shanghai to make more money to pay off his debts, and stayed in a hotel for a long time, even if it was only 50 yuan a day, but it was a big expense for Yang Yi, who was shy in his pocket, and he couldn't afford it.

The rental market is crowded with people, even in the early morning, it is still surrounded by water, and there are crowds of people, all in order to find a suitable place for themselves, and the staff of the rental company are also busy and constantly introducing.

Yang Yi kept squeezing forward in the crowd, the height of one meter eight seemed very abrupt, carefully watching the rental information of the house, unlike others renting, Yang Yi did not pay attention to the location, lighting effect, floor, he only looked at the last column - price, but even so, the cheapest house is as much as 1,000 yuan, this price is obviously not what he can afford, Yang Yi can only withdraw from the crowd in disappointment.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, an unfamiliar voice sounded in Yang Yi's ears, "Handsome guy, are you going to rent a house?"

Yang Yi turned his head and saw a girl about twenty years old looking at herself, with a shallow smile on her face, slightly light makeup, slender eyelashes twinkling with her big eyes, long hair casually draped over her shoulders, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of high heels that were not very high, which set off the girl's graceful posture, Tingting Yuli, with a work card on her chest, obviously a staff member of the rental company.

Yang Yi nodded lightly, habitually putting his hand in his trouser pocket to touch the cigarette, but as soon as he thought of the girl beside him, he gave up the idea of smoking.

"Handsome guy, don't you see a suitable house?"

Yang Yi nodded again.

"Does that handsome guy have any special requirements for the house?"

Under the girl's repeated questions, Yang Ye had to answer, "I want to find a cheaper house, as long as it can be lived, and the others are not very important." After speaking, Yang Yi didn't forget to add, the cheaper the better, and the slightly hoarse voice sounded unhurriedly.

The girl seemed to see Yang Yi's financial predicament, to Yang Yi's surprise, the girl did not show a look of disdain, but fell into contemplation, although Yang Yi graduated from college and never worked in a rental company, but also knew that engaged in this industry sales commission.

"Is it because I am handsome, so I am not despised?" Yang Yi shamelessly secretly speculated in his heart about the girl's thoughts, if it weren't for the ups and downs he had experienced, maybe he wouldn't be as calm as he is now, and the joy and sorrow were not on his face at all, and he was also a sunny boy!

After a while, the girl spoke again: "Yes, yes, as long as 350 January, it's just a basement, and the environment is relatively ......" The girl didn't look down and said, looking at Yang Yi.

When Yang Yi heard the girl's words, his eyes were full of a hint of expectation, and he showed a smile and said, "It's okay, the rest doesn't matter to me." ”

The girl moved forward slightly, only two steps away from Yang Yi, Yang Yi could clearly smell the faint body fragrance emanating from the girl's body, and said softly: "That house is far away from here, and it is not the company's house, I have to ask the manager for leave to take you there." ”

The girl's words surprised Yang Yi, after all, that meant that even if Yang Yi rented a house, the girl would not have any commission, and it was completely for nothing.

"Isn't that too much trouble for you?" Yang also asked with some hesitation.

"It's okay, you wait for me here, I'll ask the manager for a leave of absence and I'll take you there." The girl didn't give Yang Yi a chance to refuse, turned to leave, looked at the back of the girl's departure, and felt for the second time that the city of Shanghai was sometimes not so strange.

The first time, it was the night of staying in the youth hostel, the proprietress originally impatient look was replaced by a smile, and she also took the initiative to reduce the room fee of 20 yuan, 20 yuan for today's consumption level, maybe just a breakfast cost, but for Yang Yi, that is the cost of living for a day, I will not think that this handsome young man will be 20 yuan and weigh it.

In 2020, the post-80s began to age, the post-90s gradually became the main consumer group, and the post-00s began to enter the society, leaving the impression of the world, the post-80s are stable, the post-90s have a distinct personality, no money but live a delicate life, and the post-00s are vibrant, at this point, Yang is also like the post-80s.

Not long after, the girl's figure appeared in Yang Yi's field of vision again, the morning sun was softly sprinkled on the girl's young face, warm as jade, and the snow-white skin revealed a trace of redness, which was very moving.

"Let's go, handsome man. ”

The crowd is getting farther and farther away, the figure is getting more and more blurred, a man and a woman walk side by side, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, just like the old moon and another classic masterpiece, very matched, the girl is like a lark on the branch, lively and cheerful, chattering non-stop along the way, from time to time there is a silver Ling-like laughter, Yang is also like a loyal listener, smiling and responding from time to time, moving and still, reflecting each other.

Yang Yi is like an old man, with a warm smile on his young face, like a spring breeze, but he just peeked carefully and found that the depths of his eyes were covered with endless sadness, no one knew what this young man had experienced, and what heavy blows life had given him, so that the young man in front of him had become what he is now, melancholy, calm, silent, and lost the vitality that he should have at this age.

A man and a woman walked into the subway station, with a short time together, the strangeness disappeared a lot, Yang also learned that the girl's name is Yan Jia, a native of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, who has just graduated from university and came to Shanghai, the metropolis that young people yearn for, and has been in Shanghai for three months longer than Yang Yi.

After checking the ticket, the two waited for the arrival of the subway on the platform, fortunately it has now passed the morning rush hour, there are not many people on the platform, slightly empty, the ears from time to time there is a whistling train, the normative track on both sides is like two parallel lines never intertwined, a wall apart, but it is never difficult to cross, can only silently look at each other.

Not long after, the two of them boarded the subway, there were fewer people, the two also occupied two positions, sitting next to each other, the skin touched from time to time with the shaking of the carriage, the feeling was like an electric shock, numb, Yang was also very helpless, he could only try to keep sitting, fortunately Yan Jia did not notice, the atmosphere was not embarrassing, this distance, Yan Jia's body fragrance was stronger, just like the fragrance of the osmanthus flowers in his hometown in his childhood memory, so refreshing.

"Handsome guy, you just came to Shanghai?" asked Yan Jia.

"yes, it only arrived last night. Yang also replied.

"Isn't that yet a job?"

"Well, I don't know what kind of job I'm looking for. ”

When Yan Jia heard this, he joked: "Then if you don't come to work in our company, it's more difficult." ”

Yang also avoided this problem, not because he was afraid of being tired, but because he knew that the salary of the salesperson was not stable, and the debt he paid every month reached 20,000 yuan, and he had to find a job with a higher salary to maintain it.

"Then aren't you afraid of being tired?" Yang Yi asked Yan Jia instead.

"It's okay, although it's a bit hard, but after more than two months of work, I'm used to it, and when I find a suitable job, I'll change jobs. Yan Jia replied indifferently.

Yang Yi heard this, and nodded gently, after all, it is not a long-term solution for a flower-aged girl to run business every day.

The subway is moving fast in the tunnel, and the rumbling sound is constantly sounding in the carriage, which is a little harsh, but for people who often take the subway, they are also accustomed to it, and from time to time the two subway trains pass by, due to the squeezing of the air, slight shaking, swaying from side to side.

Yang Yi and Yan Jia got off the subway, Yang Yi followed Yan Jia's figure and kept walking between the high-rise buildings, through the streets for several days, and finally reached the destination, compared with the surrounding grandiose, full of modern technology high-rise buildings, this community seems dilapidated, narrow roads, the roadside is full of all kinds of garbage, white, red, black, colorful, flowery, green, drain pipes exude a pungent smell.

The floors are short, the most is only seven floors, each balcony is full of clothes, fluttering in the wind, the two of them walked through the floor, to the innermost building, the light became a little dim because of the obstruction of the previous floor, and it was difficult for the sun to shine in.

Yan Jia stopped, and what caught his eye was an iron door, with a big lock hanging on it, the iron door was rusty and covered with a little dust, Yan Jia shook the iron door gently, a heavy metal sound sounded, and shouted softly: "Is Aunt Wu at home?"

"Who?" Yang Yi saw the voice of a middle-aged woman coming from the room next to the iron door, and pushed open the door, a little fat, not tall, and casually wearing a pair of slippers.

"It's Yan Jia, come in. The moment Aunt Wu saw Yan Jia, she shouted loudly, her voice was very permeable, like the heroine in the roar of a lion in Hedong, and opened the iron door casually.

"Did you bring a tenant for Auntie?" asked Aunt Wu.

"Hmm," Yan Jia nodded slightly.

"Is it him?" Aunt Wu casually pointed at Yang Yi.

"Yes, Auntie, I want to see your house. Yang also replied.

"Come on in, then. Aunt Wu warmly invited, and led the way upstairs in front, and turned around to find that Yang Yi and Yan Jia had not moved.

Aunt Wu asked suspiciously, "Why don't you leave?"

Yan Jia smiled slightly embarrassedly and said, "Aunt Wu, he wants to rent the basement of your house." ”

"The basement?350 block room?"

"Hmm. ”

Yang Yi could obviously feel the change in Aunt Wu's face, glanced at Yang Yi with disdain, and then said: "That place is not very good, I don't know if it can live in people." ”

After all, for Aunt Wu, whether to rent out the basement or not has little impact on her, only 350 yuan a month, which is far less than the income from renting other houses.

This is reality, reality is like a merciless knife that does not stop because it stings you, reality is like the humility of grass, stepping you into the dirt, but never feeling your helplessness and your resistance. Because you have not been seen by others.

The air froze instantly, and with Aunt Wu's change of color, Yan Jia could only smile awkwardly, and Yang Yi seemed to be accustomed to this kind of looked down upon, his face was calm and unwavering, there was no anger, no justification, only silently endured, for Yang Yi, more sarcasm than this has been experienced, and he will be relieved after more experience.

Aunt Wu's face was a little impatient, she took down a key and handed it to Yan Jia, and said with a hint of indifference in her words: "You take him to see it, 350 a month, and the water and electricity bills are calculated separately." After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.

"Aunt Wu is not usually like this, and I guess I am in a bad mood today. Yan Jia tentatively explained.

Yang Yi smiled slightly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, I'm used to it." "I don't care at all.

"I'm used to it." From the short contact in the past few hours, Yang Yi gave Yan Jia the feeling that there is no hypocrisy among his peers, no joy among his peers, and no vitality that should be at this age, only what remains unchanged is calm, and the whole person exudes a mature temperament that far surpasses his peers.

Someone once asked God why only two races, man and woman, were created.

God replied that a man is a boat that needs to ride the wind and not sink in the face of a rough sea, and a woman is a sail that hangs gently on the boat to guide the direction of the ship, and any slight change in the direction of the wind can be perceived, and a rigidity and a softness are the most perfect combination in life.

One then asks God, what if there were only boats or sails?

God smiled and said meaningfully, so that the ship would lose its direction and would drift alone, with no sails to rely on, and no one could see the true beauty of the sea.

So what is true beauty?

God didn't answer, and maybe even God himself didn't know.

The two walked into the basement, Yan Jia took out the key to open the door, the indoor scene was fully revealed, the faint light shone through the only window on the slightly damp ground, even in the daytime, the light was the most abundant, it was difficult to fade the dark color of the basement.

The above-ground room was a little empty, and there wasn't much clutter in the room, just a little damp, dark, and a faint smell filled the whole corner of the room.

"Brother Yang, are you sure you want to rent this house?" Yan Jia looked at this scene and couldn't help but ask again, after all, in her opinion, the living environment here was too poor.

The light was very weak, and he couldn't see Yang Yi's face clearly, and his slightly hoarse voice replied affirmatively: "It's good, just rent here." ”

"But Brother Yang ...... here" Yan Jia was about to say something, when a rapid phone rang, Yan Jia took out her mobile phone.

"Hey, manager,"

"Okay, I'll be right back. Yan Jia closed the phone, and Yan Jia wanted to say something.

Yang Yi said: "If you are busy, you can get busy first, and I can handle it myself." As he spoke, he smiled at Yan Jia.

Yan Jia hadn't said anything yet, so he could only say, "Okay, then let's call again, and our manager will tell me to go back." After speaking, he handed the key to Yang Yi, turned around and walked out the door.

"Thank you. As soon as Yan Jia's figure walked to the door, Yang Yi's thank you came, Yan Jia heard this, and showed a big smile, and between a smile, it was like making the sun, moon and stars dim, and the country and the city were overwhelmed.

Yan Jia closed the door casually, very lightly and softly, and the figure disappeared completely.

The dim light once again wrapped the lonely Yang Yi, silently.
