The interview lasted more than 20 minutes before it ended, and before leaving, I asked the interviewer when the interview results would come out, and she told me that there would be an answer within three days, and just asked me to go back and wait patiently. I left the office building with trepidation.

Outside the office building, I didn't rush to take the subway back, but lit a cigarette in the shade of a tree, took advantage of the time to smoke, turned on my phone to see if there was any news, and then bored scrolling through the circle of friends. The first news in the circle of friends was actually posted by Zhao Yihang: Did any friends in Guangzhou invite me to drink a cup of milk tea?

I looked at the small line of font under the dynamic, and the location was in Guangzhou. I didn't expect Zhao Yihang to come to Guangzhou as well, but didn't he say before that he was going to go to northern Guangdong for development? With questions, I randomly called Zhao Yihang.

As soon as the phone was connected, I smiled and said, "Zhao Gongzi, I heard that you came to Guangzhou?"

"Yes, I arrived last night, are you in Guangzhou too?" he asked.

"Well, where is it? Let's meet. ”

"Okay. ”

More than 20 minutes later, I arrived at the location sent to me by Zhao Yihang, and at this moment, he had a suitcase next to him, which was exactly the same as me yesterday.

After seeing Zhao Yihang, I walked over and asked directly: "Didn't you say that you planned to go back to northern Guangdong for 'further study' on the night when we had dinner in the dormitory?"

Zhao Yihang nodded and said: "At the beginning, I really wanted to go back to the public examination according to my own plan, but this is not more than half a year, I can't always be busy preparing for the exam and not working. ”

I am not surprised at all by Zhao Yihang's casual attitude, because I have the impression that he is such a "improvised" person......

"Since you plan to stay and work here in Guangzhou for a while, have you found a place to live?" I asked tentatively.

"No, didn't you just say that? I arrived in Guangzhou last night, and I slept in the hotel until noon before I got up, so where did I get the time to find a house? ”

I didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Yihang dryly.

Seeing me look at him like this, he asked, "What are you doing?", and then suddenly said, "You can't rent a house at night, right? No, where have you been staying these days?"

In fact, I thought about it in my own heart, it is very good to find someone to share a house with, it can share the economic pressure, at first I didn't plan to live for a long time with Yang Fan, I didn't think it was suitable, and the place he rented was only a single room, and the place was too crowded.

I was silent for a while, and then said, "Exactly, I've been staying with a friend for the past two days...... Otherwise, let's share a house, two people who have no money, add up to barely a lost amount of money. ”

Zhao Yihang ignored the joke I said later, and seemed to be weighing it in silence, but after a few seconds, he said to me: "Okay, let's go find a house together at noon tomorrow and rent a two-bedroom apartment." ”

"No problem. ”

At first, he wanted me to stay and live casually, after all, we also had a relationship for many years, but in the end I decided to go out to rent a room, Yang Fan didn't say anything, just told me to come back when I was free, and by the way, I called the college roommate I said to have a meal together.

......

The next day, Zhao Yihang and I had a simple breakfast outside, and then we started looking for a house in the nearby area. It wasn't until noon that I was attracted to an old-fashioned neighborhood in an urban village, because there was a university not far away, and I thought it would be a good choice to go to the library often in the future and occasionally miss my college life.

I called the landlord and asked if there was any vacant house, and the landlord said that there was a two-bedroom house on the fourth floor that was being rented, and we could wait for him to come if we were interested.

More than ten minutes later, not far away, we saw a middle-aged man who was a little fat, riding an electric car towards us, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Are you two the ones who just called and said you want to rent a house?" he asked Zhao Yihang and me as he puffed out a puff of cigarette.

Zhao Yihang and I nodded, and said in unison, "Yes." ”

"Alright, let's go up. ”

When the landlord took us up the stairs, he said to us while taking care of himself in front of us: "This house is a little old, but the environment is still very good, there is a 6 square balcony to dry clothes, and the fence above can also grow flowers or something." ”

When he reached the door, he took the key to open the door and continued: "There are tables and chairs in the living room, and a large fan hangs from the ceiling. There is no air conditioning in the house, so you can install it, but I have to tell you in advance that you will have to pay a separate deposit. ”

After the door of the house opened, the three of them entered the house, Zhao Yihang and I went to see the layout inside, the two rooms were quite spacious, but what really moved me was the small balcony that the landlord told us at the beginning, there was already a pot of flowers on it, but it was about to wither because no one took care of it.

After seeing us around the house, the landlord waved his hand as a fan to relieve the heat, and then asked, "How is it, are you satisfied?"

Zhao Yihang and I glanced at each other, and after a short silence, we both nodded, indicating that it was acceptable.

"Yes, how much is the rent?" I asked

"One price, two thousand, depending on your estimated recent graduates, bet one and pay one. ”

Zhao Yihang and I each glanced at each other again, and we both saw our helplessness in our eyes, although the price was already affordable, but we still felt a little expensive.

I took out a cigarette and handed it to the landlord, then lit it for him with a smile on his face, and said, "Well, big brother landlord, you just said that we are both recent college graduates, can the rent be cheaper?"

When the landlord saw me lighting a cigarette for him, he seemed to be a little satisfied, but he didn't agree to me immediately, as if he was thinking about it.

At this time, Zhao Yihang, who didn't talk much, also struck while the iron was hot, put on a pitiful look, and stepped forward and said: "That's right, the two of us came to Guangzhou hundreds of kilometers apart, and we didn't have much money, and we spent a lot of money on the way, big brother landlord, you should be cheaper!"

The landlord finally smiled helplessly and said, "Okay! ”

In the end, we returned some of the furniture and electrical appliances that were not very useful to the landlord, and then lowered the rent to 1650 yuan, which was a good deal, which also indicated that Zhao Yihang and I became roommates again, but this time we had our own rooms.

In the afternoon, we moved all our luggage, bought some groceries at the supermarket downstairs, and started cleaning the house.

......

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Yihang and I lay directly on the sofa in the living room.

Zhao Yihang wiped his sweat and said, "Whew! It's finally done, I really want to have an air conditioner blowing at me now." After a pause, he looked at me and asked, "Cheng Ting, why don't we install an air conditioner, who can withstand such a hot weather!"

I lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "Install your room or my room, or is Zhao Gongzi going to install three air conditioners?" Don't forget, the deposit for air conditioners can be 800 yuan, which is fine, but we can't open it every day in this weather, and I feel terrible when I think about the electricity bill." ”

He smiled awkwardly and said, "That, I'll just say that, when I didn't say it." ”

I smiled and was about to continue talking, when the mobile phone on the table rang, and Su Jing called me.

"Hi, dear!" I said to Su Jing in front of Zhao Yihang, a single dog, with a hint of fleshiness.

"Cheng Ting, why did you suddenly say that......" Su Jing whispered, I could imagine her slightly shy expression.

Zhao Yihang glared at me and made a disgusting look.

I put away the joking, picked up my phone and walked to the balcony, closed the balcony door, and then replied: "It's nothing, by the way, I've found a house, two bedrooms and one living room, and I live with my roommates from my former university." ”

"Really, show me where you live. Su Jing said happily, with anticipation in her tone.

I took my mobile phone into the house, turned on the camera and went around to take a small video for Su Jing, but I deliberately avoided Zhao Yihang and didn't shoot it, because he didn't wear a shirt, so he couldn't show Su Jing this embarrassing scene.

"How's it going?" I asked with a smile.

Su Jing didn't reply to my words, but asked, "Cheng Ting, can you help water those pots of flowers on the balcony?"

I have to admire Su Jing's carefulness, the balcony in the video is just a momentary picture, but for a short time, she noticed the few inconspicuous flowers on the balcony.

"Well, I'll go. I went to the bathroom, filled my mouthwash cup with water, and while watering the flowers, I jokingly said, "Little Huahua, come, drink more hot water." ”

"Ahh

After knowing that Su Jing had been fooled, I said a little proudly: "Haha! I knew you would ask this, lie to you, how can you water the flowers, I just said that on purpose." ”

Su Jing: "......"

......

For the next few days, I was either in the interview or on the way to the interview, and finally passed the interview at a small and medium-sized advertising agency. In fact, I was interested in inviting me to join the company called "Yuedong Culture" before, but the salary during the internship period was too low, and the scale was not as big as the "Qichen Culture" that I passed the interview later, after all, the former is still a start-up company. I naturally know that working in entrepreneurship will definitely learn to hate things, but for me who is really poor at the moment, salary is an existence that cannot be ignored.

After the interview at four o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the flower market on the way, bought a pot of bamboo and a pot of cactus back, bamboo on the edge of the balcony, and at this time I found that the previous pots of nearly withered flowers, actually came to life, and even a budding stamen to be hung on it, it seems that my careful care these days is still a little useful. I put the rest of the pot of cacti on the table in my room, and it was nice to have a little greenery in the room.

The next day, I got up early in the morning, because today is my first day of official work, for this reason, I also deliberately looked in the mirror to get a hairstyle, and only went out after I was satisfied, leaving Zhao Yihang, who was still sleeping in another room.

On the way to join the company before departure, I held a bun in my left hand and nibbled on it, and I held my mobile phone in my right hand and sent a WeChat message to Su Jing: Jing, I have found a job, I went to work on the first day today, and now I am on my way to work.

Facing the morning sun and the blowing breeze, I thought to myself: I went to work, and from now on I will be a "social person", less of a relaxation in school, but more of a responsibility, because I have to work hard to have a better self, appear in front of the person I like to shelter her from the wind and rain. Thinking of Su Jing's moving appearance, my steps took a more determined step.
