Chapter 14: You're My New Tenant
In the evening after work, Fang Yuan and I found a Chinese restaurant near the company, simply ordered some food, and sat opposite each other.
After a while, the food was ready, Fang Yuan picked up the chopsticks and ate them by himself, and when he saw that I didn't move the chopsticks, he said, "You kid is eating." β
"Don't you wait for Yan Yan?" I asked.
"She went to Shanghai to see Janeway, let's eat this meal today." Fang Yuan said in a calm tone.
"She's going to see Janeway? You've been married for a few days, is she going away? I asked, a little "confused".
Fang Yuan replied nonchalantly: "I just went after work, and I'll be back tomorrow morning, so I won't delay things." I nodded, and ate with it.
Fang Yuan put down his chopsticks, stared at me, and asked for a moment, "Zhaoyang, why don't we have some wine?" β
"Don't drink it today."
After a while, he looked at me again and said, "I see you're a little depressed!" After speaking, he looked at his watch and said, "Yan Yan shouldn't have gone far at this time, or I will call her to pick you up, and you can also take advantage of the rare sobriety to meet Jian Wei......"
I was silent for a long time and sighed: "Yan Yan is really married to a dog!" β
"How?" Fang Yuan asked in a different sitting position, not minding me turning around and scolding him.
"You both lack virtue, please don't comfort a person who wants to die to the point of really dying, okay?"
"Did I comfort you?" Fang Yuan asked with an innocent face.
I was a little angry: "Can you still eat this meal, you can't eat rolling calves." β
My anger made Fang Yuan sigh, he shook his head and said, "You kid is still like this, every time you talk about things related to Jian Wei, you turn your face faster than you turn a book, are you really unable to get over this hurdle of her?" β
Only then did I realize that it was just Fang Yuan's temptation, but I didn't know how to answer, and fell into silence again.
Fang Yuan asked the waiter to take two cans of green beer, tore open one and handed it to me, drank one himself, and asked me as if he deliberately changed the topic: "How have you been with that graphic model recently?" I think she's quite interesting to you. β
"Don't talk nonsense, she and I are just toys for each other's empty periods at best."
"Sex toys?"
"You can understand it." I said nonchalantly, picked up the beer in front of me again, and poured it into my mouth.
Fang Yuan took a sip with me, and then asked, "Tell me the truth to your buddies, in the years since Jian Wei left, hasn't there been a girl in the world who makes your heart move?" β
"Nope." I replied without thinking.
Fang Yuan shook his head and said: "No matter how you look at it, you don't look like an infatuated species, in fact, it is your own heart that has been uncertain all these years, you sink your heart, think about it, is there always a girl who makes your heart ambush by your side, it's just that you haven't found it." β
"I'm unsure?" I asked Fang Yuan suspiciously.
Fang Yuan nodded seriously, and then made a guiding gesture and said to me: "You take a sip of wine and think about it, right now, there will definitely be a gain." β
I was skeptical, but I still followed what Fang Yuan said, took a sip of wine, and then diverged my thinking, taking out the girls around me from the bottom of my heart one by one over the years, and I really didn't realize who I had ever touched for a while, I preferred to freeze the memory of being with them on a night of spring supper.
I still remember every morning after the spring supper, the sun falls on the quilt held up by the two bodies, and it does not give me a solid feeling, I often want to put on my pants and run away, it seems that the dawn sun shines only material poverty, where do I remember the heart and ecstasy of the night.
If a woman sat in the same bed with me one morning and talked about marriage on the basis of the house, I would have a breakdown, and on the premise of this collapse, I would have lost track of what it was like to be moved.
"Is there one?" Fang Yuan picked up a beer and touched one with me, and asked again with concern.
I just shook my head and took a sip of my beer, but I didn't bother to say another word, and I didn't want to think of any more women in my heart.
But human thinking is very strange, and when I don't want to think about it, suddenly the beautiful and unreal face of my landlady "swishs" in my mind.
I stared at the bonsai behind Fang Yuan like a machine, but my thoughts surged like a tsunami-could it be that Mi Cai was the woman in Fang Yuan's mouth that made my heart move?
I hurriedly denied it, this is a ridiculous idea, Mi Cai and I only get along for a few days, even if her beautiful Chang'e descends to earth, I can't be tempted by her, because of the fantasy and impulse of women, I died in the mean years.
Fang Yuan was still waiting for my answer eagerly, but I didn't want to entangle with him anymore, a word that meant nothing to me, so I simply continued to play silent.
β¦β¦
The two drank a can of beer and continued to eat, and the sky outside the window also darkened unconsciously, and the street lamps on both sides of the road rendered the city at night in the same posture.
Fang Yuan and I lit a cigarette and entertained the idleness after eating, the two continued to chat, chatting and chatting, Fang Yuan looked at the night outside the window, and asked teasingly: "Zhaoyang, this situation is a little wrong today, it's all dark today, why are you still sitting, don't you have to go and find a happy life?" β
"I'm not going anywhere, I'll go home and sleep later."
Fang Yuan seemed to be shocked by me and exclaimed, "Who murdered you at night?" β
I was asked by Fang Yuan, the night I was drunk and dreamed of death was indeed murdered by a woman who had just appeared in my life.
I was not in a hurry to answer Fang Yuan's question, but I was eager to ask him to help me analyze a question that had plagued me for many days, I still couldn't figure out why Mi Cai, who drove a luxury car, lived in that dilapidated house, I didn't want to believe it, this was a fate deliberately created for us by God, and it was far-fetched to say that fate, because I threw her quilt a few days ago, and then she threw me into the wilderness, this world doesn't seem to have this kind of fate to torture.
After a while, I said to Fang Yuan: "Sue sΓΉ for a very new thing." β
"Is this new thing directly related to your not going out to fool around?"
I nodded, and then told Fang Yuan that Mi Cai and I had been selectively accusing Fang Yuan of all the things that had happened in that house these days.
After hearing this, Fang Yuan looked at me with some disbelief, and paused for a moment before asking me, "Are you sure she drove a million-dollar luxury car and lived in your rotten house?" β
"Of course sure, you can help me analyze, analyze, and see what her motives are?" I said to Fang Yuan very seriously.
"It's not about killing people for money anyway." Fang Yuan said and glanced at me disdainfully.
"I know I don't have any money, and I have a bad life, but now I'm really talking to you about a very serious thing, can you be serious?"
"Zhaoyang, let's live in a very realistic world, in fact, you really don't expect her to owe you anything in her previous life, and she will repay her in this life."
I touched my chin and said seriously: "Don't say it, maybe it's really possible, you said that I have done all kinds of evil in my life, and I stink, it must be because I did too many good things in my previous life, maybe my landlady received my favor in my previous life, and came to repay the favor and serve me in this life." β
"Serving you? Didn't you say that she tricked you to the junction of the Shanghai-Nanjing Expressway between Suzhou and Wuxi at night, and you were so cold that you had a big snot and a straight nose, did you serve you like this? β
I pointed at Fang Yuan, and was speechless for a while before I said, "You TM will be a loss of friends!" β
Fang Yuan smiled, got up and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Zhaoyang, in fact, it is not a good thing that a woman appears to divert your attention from Jian Wei......
Without waiting for me to answer, he said: "It's half past seven o'clock, and I made an appointment with the wedding company's planner to meet at eight o'clock, so let's break up today." β
Looking at Fang Yuan's departing back, I lit another cigarette in a daze, I always felt that I didn't quite understand what he said, why did Mi Cai's appearance divert my attention from Jian Wei?
β¦β¦
After coming out of the restaurant, I bought another can of beer, and while drinking it, I followed the crowd, listened to the laughter of others, and thought about my worries and walked in the direction of home.
When I returned home and opened the door, it was dark in the house, turned on the light in the living room, looked around, the house was full of desertion, and my landlady, Mi Cai didn't seem to have come back yet.
I was bored, sitting on the couch and watching TV, without the drunken dreams of going to nightclubs, and the nights seemed to be endlessly long, I can't remember when I was like this, at the beginning of the night, looking for a pastime on the TV like a little family man...... And then get bored!
The time was just half past eight, but I was tormented by boredom, scratched my lungs, smoked a cigarette, and was stunned for a while, the time only went for ten minutes, I wanted to die, it turned out that the night of a person was so difficult!
I took out the guitar from my room, found a guitar tab, and began to practice singing, if there is anything I like to do every night except to get drunk and dream, I am afraid that the only thing I like to do is play the guitar and be bored.
After singing a song, I was about to play the next song, when there was finally movement outside the house, and then the door was opened, and then I saw Mi Cai, who was carrying a handbag and was beautiful and life-threatening.
Although there is a bit of a holiday between us, I am not a narrow-minded person, so to belittle her beauty, this woman really seems to be the work of God's impulse.
I put down my guitar and asked with a smile, "Coming back?" β
"Hmm." Mi Cai answered and walked towards his room.
"Stop." I shouted to her in a deep voice and with a straight face, but I was bored, unwilling to be lonely alone, and wanted to tease her.
Mi Cai turned to look at me: "Is there something wrong?" β
I looked at Mi Cai, and the more I looked at it, the more I wondered why this woman could be so beautiful? Then he asked openly: "Why do you say you are so beautiful, you can't be a monster, right?" β
Mi Cai frowned slightly, and said coldly to me: "Please don't let me feel like a wolf is lured into the room, okay?" β
I immediately stood up, pretending to be excited, and said, "Girl, you are not mistaken, I lived in this house first, is it a bit inappropriate for you to lure the wolf into the house?" β
Mi Cai didn't pay attention to my suggestion that it was first come, first served, and her tone was still cold: "If you think I'm a monster, you can move out at any time, and I won't have an opinion." β
"Why did I move, I lived in this house, you are a new tenant at best, besides, you have promised me to live here, and I have abided by the agreement, and I have squatted at home like a Buddha after work and have not gone anywhere, so you must not mention it to me in the future." I said as I stood up from the couch to show my excitement.
"Am I your new tenant?" Mi Cai's tone was obviously displeased.
But I didn't care about her displeasure, and said, "Yes, from this day on, you will be a female tenant in front of me, and whoever has seniority in this room is the landlord." β
"Don't you think you're bored, and I have to remind you that you don't have to change your concept and force the title of tenant on me, because I only promised you to stay here for a month, and you will soon leave here forever as a tenant." Mi Cai looked at me with a fearless expression and said.
"What's wrong with a month, even if it's only a month's landlord, I'm happy!" I said stiffly, but I was depressed because of Mi Cai's sentence "leave here forever".
Mi Cai didn't want to be serious with me anymore, so she said "Who cares about you" and then turned around and walked to her room.
β¦β¦
In a living room alone, I felt a cigarette and lit it, and in the pleasure of smoke in and out, I felt amused because of my status as a landlord that I had won by scoundrels.
The smoke that was spit out was reflected in the light, and it drifted out of the window leisurely, I could see it intently, a gust of wind that didn't know where it came from and blew me awake, in this gust of wind that seemed to be borrowed, I suddenly saw Jian Wei's hazy outline, and suddenly remembered: We will meet at Fang Yuan and Yan Yan's wedding in three days, I seem to have a hunch that the next three days may be more difficult than the three years of separation......
To this day, I can't figure out why we have been in love for 4 years with the best time of our lives, why we can't start and end well, even if it's a breakup, at least give me a reason, but......
I closed my eyes, and the smoke that kept coming out of my fingertips made me want to cry!
