My 26-year-old Female Tenant

I threw away the broken piano handle in my hand, and the owner of the piano store stretched out his hand and grabbed my clothes, screaming in extreme pain: "Let me kill you, okay?...you poor ghost, you know, Did you smash the treasure of my store? You like smashing pianos, so don’t pick the most expensive ones... I’m going to kill you, this is tens of thousands of pianos! … ...."

"Go away." I tried to break free from him, but he was afraid that I would run away, so he hugged him even tighter, and still screamed: "What compensation do you have for such an expensive violin... Why am I just like this?" Unlucky to meet such a lunatic and poor ghost like you."

  She came to me and the boss, her voice was very soft, but enough for us to hear clearly, she said to the owner of the piano shop: "I will compensate him for the piano he smashed."

   "Do you know each other?"

  When the boss was puzzled, I pushed him away, but after I got rid of the entanglement, I still felt like I was living in a dream, and I didn't know when she came back from the United States and when she came to Xuzhou.

  Mi Cai nodded and replied: "He is my boyfriend."

The boss looked at me, then at Mi Cai, with a face full of disbelief, and suddenly said again: "I see, you two must be a rich woman and a poor man. The man is under a lot of pressure, so he runs around. He is in pain while running away. , My piano is in terrible trouble!"

  I replied in Xuzhou dialect: "What are you thinking about!"

   "Hey, it turns out that you are a local, and you really didn't escape! That's even easier, this piano can't be smashed for nothing, hurry up and make your girlfriend lose money."

  Mi Cai was also made unbearable by this nagging boss, and said instead of me: "I said earlier that I am willing to compensate, so you can just say how much and focus on it!"

  The boss looked at the broken piano, thought for a while with a heartache on his face, and replied: "You can pay 160,000 yuan, and I don't want more."

  Mi Cai looked embarrassed: "I don't have so much cash with me now, can you swipe my card here?"

  The owner of the piano shop pondered for a while, and replied: "The restaurant next door accepts credit cards. The boss is my friend. Go to his place to swipe."

   "Well, you lead the way."

  .......

  On the Yellow River South Road in Xuzhou, I was walking side by side with Mi Cai with the broken guitar in my arms. I said to her, "Do you know that in winter, no one has ever fallen in love on this Yellow South Road."

   "Why, is the scenery here not good enough?"

"No, have you seen the sycamore trees on both sides of the road? When the winter wind blows, the leaves will fall...Who wants to look at these bare trunks, and then hug each other to be sad, especially at night .”

   "I haven't heard of these."

   "You're not from Xuzhou, of course you haven't heard of it."

Mi Cai stopped and looked at the fallen leaves all over the ground, and I looked at the white leather boots on her feet. We all lowered our heads in an instant, so this Yellow River South Road became a little more lonely. So there is really no road beyond the moat, which is more suitable for dating, so I encouraged her to go to the road I like... But, in front of us, there is a couple, kissing and hugging. .....

  Mi Cai looked at me and asked, "Didn't you say that no one falls in love on this road?"

   "Hehe, it must be a foreigner!"

   "Then go and ask."

   "It's better not to bother people. I didn't see that people's tongues are almost tied to a knot. How can I talk to me?"

  Mi Cai sat down on the bench by the roadside, I followed her footsteps and sat next to her, then she took my arm and leaned against me...

  I finally asked her: "Didn't you say last time that you came back after New Year's Day? Why was it earlier?"

   "After 12 o'clock, it will be after New Year's Day, it's just a day earlier..."

   "Actually, you want to surprise me... I remember the few times you went to the United States, the way we met when you came back was too simple. I always waited for you at the airport."

   "If you say that, then this meeting is really thrilling. Why did you stay on the street alone, sing alone, and smashed the guitar?"

  I didn't rush to answer this question, but instead asked her: "Then you came to Xuzhou and couldn't get through to my phone, why didn't you go to my house to find me? It's not like you don't know the way to my house."

   "Auntie doesn't like me, so I dare not go."

"Actually, she doesn't like me either... So, I was kicked out, homeless, impulsively threw away the money, broke the bank card, and then had nowhere to go. ...Fortunately, I met you."

   "You are really generous, have you calculated how much money you have spent this night?"

   "After the calculation...it's not enough to buy a one-square-meter house in Shanghai."

Mi Cai looked at me helplessly, and I looked at her, and suddenly felt that we were like two homeless children, on this South Yellow River Road, not daring to fall in love, but looking for a kind of warmth like relatives. ... Could it be that we can skip the love directly and sublimate it into a family relationship? If this is the case, I won't be surprised, because I know that what she needs most is family affection.

  I supported her shoulder-hanging hair, and kissed her lips deeply. The months of waiting made this kiss extremely mellow.

  .......

  Leaving South Yellow River Road, we walked on the edge of the moat, and I finally asked her after feeling in love: "Have you found a place to live?"

   "The hotel is opposite."

   "Such a grand hotel, the environment inside must be good... Take me in."

   "Then ask for another room for you."

   "I wasted so much money tonight, so don't spend any more money, let's live together, anyway, you always like to live in a suite, and you don't want one more than me."

   "I didn't waste much money, it's not enough to buy a square meter house in Shanghai!"

I held her back and didn't let her go any further, and asked her with a straight face: "What are you thinking about?... What's wrong with me living with you? Are we talking? okay?"

   "How to chat, where to chat?"

   "On your bed, you can talk about anything..."

   "Okay, let's talk about how you feel now after Le Yao and Li Xiaoyun got married."

   "Don't think that if you say that, I will retreat in spite of the difficulties, just chat...Let's go, I will go back to the hotel with you."

  .......

In fact, this is not the first time I have been in the same room with Mi Cai, so after entering her room, I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, and quickly took off my clothes, only wearing underwear, and then entered In the bathroom, I want to take a hot bath, wash away the loneliness of the past few months, wash away all the unhappiness of tonight, and then lie on her bed and chat with her, and put together all the many thoughts I have been brewing for so long tell her.

  Actually, I don’t care at all, who is married to whom around me, I only care about when she will marry me...
