Chapter 32: Paycheck Day

I sat at the entrance of the corridor and waited for nearly forty minutes, Robben was not finished yet, I was a little overwhelmed by the cold wind of autumn, and I wanted to go up and urge him.

As soon as she got up, the woman named Lily stepped down from above, and the strong smell of perfume filled the air.

"Done?" I asked, tucking my clothes.

Lily glanced at me disapprovingly and said, "If it weren't for you, I'd have spent the night here tonight." ”

"Robben has a couple of bars to run tomorrow, so don't bother him."

"I don't understand why two men live together!" Lily still said to me reluctantly.

"I'll stay here for a while, and when I find a house, I'll move out." I was a little reluctant to explain it to Lily.

Lily nodded, and then said, "I forgot my wallet, give me 50 yuan to take a taxi." ”

I was a little surprised: "Why didn't you ask Robben just now?" ”

"I just forgot about jì, I'm too lazy to go up again, don't grind, hurry up." Lily made another gesture to me asking for money.

"You can't be a young lady, right?"

Lily gave me a blank look and said, "Have you ever seen a young lady who comes out of the closet for only 50 yuan?" ”

"That's right." I said and took out my wallet from my pocket, and after rummaging through it for a long time and couldn't find a 50 one, Lily directly drew a 100 face value and shook it in front of me, as if I had slept with her.

After Lily left, I felt that living here in Robben was not a long-term solution, after all, it was not very convenient, and it was far from the company, so I still had to continue to look for a house.

……

Back in the house, there seemed to be a lingering smell in the air, and I subconsciously looked at the bed, but the quilt was still folded.

"I'm afraid that you won't be comfortable sleeping and won't do it in bed." Robben explained to me.

"Good work!"

Robben smiled: "It's not hard, it's the same when you fall asleep or stand." ”

I put the cherries I had brought from Micai on the table and said to Robben, "A friend gave them to you, you can taste them." ”

"Yo, it's still imported from Chile, which friend of yours is so extravagant?" Robben said as he picked one up and threw it into his mouth.

I didn't answer for a while, realizing that it was a bit wishful thinking to call Mi Cai a friend, in fact, we were a little better than strangers at best, at least a lot of the time Mi Cai was very tired of me.

"Just a friend." I replied vaguely.

This was originally an innocuous matter, Robben didn't ask, took out the guitar from the guitar box, plucked the guitar strings, looked intoxicated, and asked me again: "Didn't you take this awesome guitar to pay off the debt?" Why is it back in your hands? ”

"She gave it back to me again." I replied truthfully.

"Who is she?"

"Shall I write a book to answer you?"

Robben smiled at me with an understanding look: "Calm ......" finally stopped asking me, and then plucked the guitar strings, and a song "Cinderella" floated out of the ten-square-meter small attic in the autumn breeze of the night.

……

The night was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water, and Robben and I were lying on the bed, each holding a cigarette in his hand, the same dazed, the same silence.

A gust of wind suddenly blew hard outside the window, and immediately dispersed the smoke in the house.

I fought against the wild wind, took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled heavily, and the smell of tobacco began to fill the room again.

I quickly finished smoking a cigarette, snuffing it out in the ashtray, and finally asked Robben, "Ben, what do you want?" ”

"Miss girl." Robben said as he took a deep puff of his cigarette.

I teased, "Didn't you just sleep with Lily?" ”

Robben smiled and snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, took another cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, and said after a while: "I don't know how she is doing now." ”

"If you want her, contact her, just care about her as an old friend."

"You've been breaking up with Janeway for more than two years, do you dare to contact her?" Robben asked me rhetorically.

"What are you doing with me and Janeway."

"It's the same thing, what can you change if you contact it, just think about it!"

"I just wronged you, obviously I still love it, I was obviously forced by her parents, but in the end, I left a bad reputation in her heart."

"As long as she is happy, my little grievance is nothing."

I lit another cigarette and took two puffs and fell silent, not encouraging Robben to contact the Beijing girl.

"Sleep, it's almost dawn." Robben said to me as he snuffed out his half-smoked cigarette in an ashtray.

I looked out the window, as if I had seen through all the darkness before the dawn came, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: human life is really an unsolvable problem, right and wrong, true and false......

……

The next day, I finished another day in a busy situation, this kind of busyness is something I have not had in the first two years of the company, mainly because Fang Yuan's work has temporarily fallen on me, but this is not a bad thing, if I am lucky enough to become the leader of the planning and copywriting team, then it is now a process of adapting in advance.

In addition to the busy day, I had other gains, and today I finally got paid, so as I was about to end the day, I was planning how to spend this month's salary.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided that the first consumption of this money should be used to invite Mi Cai to dinner first, I still remember how annoyed she was when I deceived her to Fang Yuan's wedding in the name of eating a few days ago, there is no doubt that this matter is my lack of consideration, so I must invite her to this dinner tonight with the most sincere attitude, first, to make amends, and second, to thank her for the play she played with me at the bar the night before, so that I would not be embarrassed in front of Janeway.

I found Mi Cai's phone and dialed it, and she answered it after a while, her tone was still very calm, and said, "Hey, is there something wrong?" ”

"Would you like to have dinner in the evening and admire your face?" I said very sincerely.

"Which of your friends got married this time?"

I was a little speechless, she always choked me half to death so calmly, and paused for a while before saying, "This time it's really not a friend getting married, I just want to invite you to dinner." ”

"Oh, forget it for today."

I was a little disappointed, but I still insisted: "Come on, I paid my salary today, and the first thing that came to mind was you, don't refuse if I'm so gracious." ”

"My car has been sent for maintenance, and it's not very convenient to take a taxi here, next time." Mi Cai finally gave me a reason not to come this time.

"This is easy to do, I have a car, I'll pick you up, where are you?"

"Do you have a car?" Mi Cai wondered.

"Yes, it's about the same as your car, you can give face, and I'll take you to a very interesting restaurant tonight, I promise you like it."

Mi Cai thought for a while and finally replied, "Well, I'm in Liu'an Scenic Garden, come here." ”

"You live in Willow Shore Garden!" I sighed, because this is a very high-end local community, it should be yesterday that the bathroom was sprayed with pesticides and could not be used, so Mi Cai went to live in Liu'an Jingyuan.

"Ask so much what to do." After Mi Cai finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

I smiled and didn't care about Mi Cai's attitude, I had expected that she would have other rooms in Suzhou.

Putting the phone in my pocket, I said to Zhao Li, who was still busy next door: "Zhao Li, your little prince Alto lend me tonight." ”

Zhao Li raised his head and looked at me vigilantly, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll fill you up when I'm done, hurry." I said impatiently.

"Oh, don't fool me." Zhao Li said as he took out the car keys from the drawer and handed them to me.

……

The sky is getting dark, I drove Zhaoli Alto to the "Liu'an Jingyuan" community, this time I really didn't fool Mi Cai, the car I am driving now is indeed similar to her car, her name is Audi, mine is called Alto, the same eye-catching purple red.
