My 26-year-old Female Tenant

  Le Yao and I chose a small teahouse by the Xitang River. We sat on the third floor, drinking tea and chatting while watching the night view of Xitang.

After chatting a few words, Le Yao was recognized as a celebrity by the customers who were also in the teahouse, and asked for autographs and group photos. Recognize the trouble.

  I gloated and teased, and said, "It's over, you won't have any private living space in the future!"

   "Do you think this is a bad thing?"

  I thought for a while before answering: "It shouldn't count for you, after all, this is the life you once dreamed of."

   "But one day I'm going to get bored."

   "Then enjoy it until you're not bored."

  Le Yao nodded, and stopped talking, as if she was thinking about something, and I also thought of my own thoughts in her silence.

  I suddenly discovered an illogical detail. Logically, Mi Cai knew that I received 500,000 business rewards from Jian Wei, but why did she still think that I needed to borrow money from others when I left Suzhou this time?

  The only explanation is: she went to Jian Wei, or Jian Wei went to her.

   But what does that mean to me?

I don't know much about it, and I don't want to think about it deeply, because I am in Xitang now, far away from Suzhou, and some things are too heavy, so at this moment I persuade myself, don't think about love and hate that night. worry.

  …

  The night was getting darker, the owner of the small teahouse told me and Le Yao that it was their closing time, and we had no choice but to leave.

  Wandering in the bluestone alley again, I asked her, "How long are you planning to stay in Xitang this time?"

   "One week, but if you find it inconvenient, we can play our own things here."

   "Okay, each play their own way."

  Le Yao took off her sunglasses and stared at me.

   "Why are you staring at me?"

   "Am I not even a woman's right to be duplicity in front of you?"

   "Duplicity is what only a little girl would do, but now you are a star-studded star!" I still joked with her indifferently.

   "Yeah, why did I, a big shot, come to Xitang to find you, you little bastard... I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow!"

   "What time will I leave, if I can get up, I will see you off!"

  Le Yao looked at me madly, finally hooked his fingers to me, and said, "Come here, let me strangle you to death!"

  I stiffened my neck and said, "Pinch it."

Le Yao approached me step by step, but when he got close to me, he suddenly hugged me, and whispered in my ear, "I don't want to strangle you to death... Zhaoyang, hurry up and fight hard, everyone around you is here Progress, if you stay where you are, it will be more and more painful!"

"I see…"

  …

  It wasn’t until almost 11 o’clock that I said goodbye to Le Yao and went back to the inn, while the boy was still lying on the bed holding the computer and watching TV dramas.

  I lay on the bed, planning to rest for a while before going to wash.

  After a short while, the boy finally finished watching the TV series, put the computer aside, and asked me: "Brother Yang, why did you come back until now, it's already past 11 o'clock!"

   "A friend came and stayed with her for a while."

   "Who? Male or female?"

   "Le Yao."

  The boy immediately became angry: "Brother Yang...is it interesting for you to keep making the same joke? Is it because you look down on me and treat me like an idiot?"

   "No, no, don't think too much!"

  The boy refused to let go, and said: "Actually, you are more obsessed than I am, fantasizing about Le Yao all day long, I advise you to hurry back to reality, it's not good to be too addicted!"

  I couldn't laugh or cry, so I simply ignored him, just lit a cigarette and smoked silently, but a thought gradually grew in the permeating smoke, and finally got out of control.

  I finally took out my mobile phone from my backpack, and after refilling a cigarette, I asked the boy who was playing online games, "What is the wireless password for this room?"

   "Brother Yang, it turns out that you will be there too! I thought you were unreal, and I haven't seen you answer a call in the past two days!"

"password."

  The boy hurriedly replied: "667766"

  I took a deep breath, opened the network connection, and finally entered the row of passwords, and the moment I connected to the network, dozens of push messages rang out in a hurry, and then stimulated my sensitivity.

  She is still calm, at least on WeChat.

  Her calmness infected me, I didn't think too much about it, and immediately sent her a message back as originally planned: "I'm fine!"

   Without giving me a moment to breathe, she texted back: "Where are you?"

   "In a place where I can rise from the ashes."

   "Will you go back to Suzhou?"

  I was suddenly stumped by this problem. Since I lost my guitar, my luggage has become lighter. A travel bag can hold all my things in Suzhou. I can travel between cities as lightly as a gust of wind.

  So I gave Mi Cai the relief I imagined, and replied: "I won't go back, I have already brought out everything in that city."

  It took a long time for Mi Cai to reply to my message: "I understand."

  I stared blankly at this reply letter, feeling lost for no reason in my heart. Maybe I have really brought out all the touchable things, but the lingering whispers still stayed there, and I never brought them out.

  …

  I didn't want to let myself continue to be immersed in the unspeakable loss, so I turned off my phone resolutely, and made up my mind: I won't turn it on again during this time in Xitang.

  I finally went to the bathroom to wash up. After washing, I lay straight on the bed, just looked at the ceiling, and didn't say a word until the boy talked to me.

   "Brother Yang, do you want to eat some takeaway for lunch tomorrow?"

   "I don't want to eat takeaway tomorrow."

   "How to eat then?"

   "Let's go out to eat together, my friend is still in Xitang, we have an appointment."

  The boy was a little confused, and said, "No, I don't like going out to eat at noon..."

   "Then you can keep it in the inn and eat takeaway."

   "Is your friend a man or a woman?"

   "Does it matter?"

  The boy nodded seriously: "Of course it's important. If I'm a woman, I can force myself to go out to eat!"

  I joked with him and said, "It's a woman, but not very pretty."

   "Just be a woman!"

   "Why are you doing this!"

   "I've been in Xitang for so long, I haven't talked to a woman except for shopping, you should understand?"

  At this moment, I can’t help but feel deeply worried for the boy. Even if he stays in Xitang, a place full of encounters all his life, he still can’t bid farewell to being a virgin!
