Chapter 1: Letting Down the Pretty Lady in the Alley
Midnight.
Outside the window, the sound of firecrackers was instantly drowned.
In the sound of firecrackers, people are not sleeping, and on the second floor of the old community house, the young man stands by the window, his eyes are distracted.
The mottled red paint on the exterior walls of the community and the faintly lit windows on the second floor no longer herald the baptism of history and radical turmoil.
Bai Qiliang, who lived on the second floor of the old community, had seen enough of the fireworks and firecrackers, and turned around and poured himself a big sip of strong tea.
The clear tea that had been brewed dripped from the corner of his mouth and fell silently on the floor.
To be honest, his current mental state is not good at all, it has been more than two years since he graduated, and he finally found a courier job in the highly competitive talent market, and was forced to lose his job.
Unemployed, like most people, he is aimless and confused about the future. I'm at home all day long, playing games day and night.
Putting the teacup on the table, he stretched out his waist widely, and lay down on the bed again, bored, listening to the beautiful girl next door fighting with the man, and then smiled bitterly.
…………………
At the beginning, after graduating from college, Qi Liang saw this information about a shared house on the Internet. contacted this innocent and beautiful female roommate, and after learning that she was also a graduate, I felt quite fateful.
The two chatted and learned that they were both alumni of Tiannan University, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became, so they simply shared a house.
The girl's name is very good, she is called Beauty.
Two young people talked about their ideals in a small rental house, traveling at night, looking from afar, the light in the darkness kept stretching and prolonging............
Time is a fickle and turbulent river, and those who cross it either swim against the current and complete their own crossing, or go with the flow and get stuck in the quagmire.
I don't know when everything changed. On a not-so-quiet night, the beautiful woman found Qi Liang in despair, with a pretty face without the slightest blood, her eyes flashing with a little starlight, and the mist would come out:
"Ah Liang, my boyfriend broke up with me, he scolded me, and went to the company to make a fuss, and the manager fired me in order to avoid suspicion."
Qi Liang looked at the tall and outstanding woman in front of him, and said suspiciously:
"Which boyfriend?"
"Ah, probably eighth, right?" The beautiful woman's tone was also uncertain.
"Oh, eight?!"
"So I'm out of work now, what am I going to do in the next few days?" She looked at Qi Liang pitifully, her eyes were full of pleading, and full of hope, "Why don't you lend me a little money." ”
"I'm sorry, you know, my job is in its infancy, I don't have a substantial income, and I don't have any money to lend you." Qi Liang paused, "But I can pay the rent for these two months with you." ”
Having said that, there is no need to persist any longer.
Seeing that her goal was disappointed, the woman turned around and left, walking very slowly, seeing that the person behind her had never moved, she trembled with anger, accelerated her speed and rushed to the bedroom, slamming the door hard, and there was no sound.
If people's hearts are not blown by the wind, snow and roses cannot coexist. In the days that followed, he never saw a beautiful woman in the daytime.
Once working overtime until late at night, he saw a beautiful woman under the community, she was drunk, and there was a gray-haired, fifty-year-old man supporting her to the residence, and the expression on her face was as obscene as it was and annoying.
There is a small alley below the community, and there is also an alley on the other side.
Seeing them enter the narrow alley, Qi Liang stood in place, not knowing what he was thinking.
The alley was so dark that there was barely any light visible, and it was narrow from a distance, like a crack that could not see the light, and the people and bicycles who came and went recorded its presence.
But that night, Qi Liang felt that it was very wide and wide, wide enough to accommodate many people, and it seemed to have become warmer, and the air had become humid.
Yes, the warm current is coming, but is the real warm current to the southwest?
If I had helped her at that time, would it have ended differently.
But I don't have anything to do, and my salary is sent back to the children in the orphanage.
What's more, the poor man must have something to hate, and she also makes herself disgusting, and flies don't bite seamless eggs.
What's more, since she promised to help her pay two months' rent, she has not paid it, and every day when she pays the rent at the end of the month, she will always disappear, disappear for a few days, and come back.
It's not that Qi Liang is willing to be wronged, and he has to pay so much for one person, Chongyang thought to himself, he had time to change the lock another day, but the landlord resolutely disagreed, and stumped him.
The beautiful woman is reduced to a homeless woman on the street, and naturally cares about her, and the man who loves her spends money for her and buys sin.
This era is a fast-food era, and men soon and quickly lose love, just like eating a fast food, it will be consumed in a few minutes, and they will surrender to love.
Thinking back to the eyes, Qi Liang was in the bedroom where the sound insulation effect was not good, with his hands pillowed behind his head, closed his eyes, and silently counted in his mouth:
"3-2-1, end."
As expected, the screams of women and the wails of men were heard in the next room, and the sound was like a breeze, fleeting.
Qi Liang has a very good memory, he doesn't forget it, he has ten lines at a glance, but for the people he has seen, he can definitely recognize it when he meets him on the second side, and the time and place are exactly the same.
"Another man who has failed the beauty, hehe." Qi Liang laughed to himself, he didn't know why he laughed like this, maybe he couldn't help it.
Time is like a hand that bare the hair on a man's head, compress a man's waist, and deprive a man of everything he cares about. No one is immune.
In a moment, Qi Liang heard a rush of footsteps, followed by the sound of the door opening, footsteps, and the sound of the door closing.
Another slight step walked to his bedroom door, Qi Liang frowned, his eyes were disgusted, it was obvious that he knew who was standing outside the door.
I only heard a coquettish laugh outside, and a pleasant voice sounded: "Brother Ah Liang, did you hear the movement just now?" ”
