My 26-year-old female tenant: Gufan on the Island

The more recklessly I laughed, the more confused Fang Yuan seemed. When I stopped laughing, he finally realized what was going on. Then, with a bit of anger, he scolded, "You won a lousy scratch-off lottery ticket and you dared to quit your job... Isn't that too ridiculous?"

He was not used to buying lottery tickets and did not know much about the winning rules. So, after checking the maximum winning amount of scratch tickets online, he said, "The maximum winning amount is one million... not a small amount... but even if you win one million, it is not enough for you to live a foolish life for the rest of your life... not to mention other places, the housing prices in Suzhou are almost over 20,000 yuan per square meter, and after paying taxes, the remaining money is only enough to buy a kitchen and a bathroom..."

When Fang Yuan talked about houses, he seemed to be chattering nonstop, which made me a little impatient. Before he could finish, I responded, "Houses are not a standard. Is it interesting to use them to measure everything?"

"Do I measure everything by it?"

"Last year, when you got your year-end bonus, you said you would buy a pack of good cigarettes to smoke during the New Year... But before you even got to the tobacco shop, you changed your mind... You said that when you buy a house and buy furniture in the future, the money from this pack of cigarettes will be enough to buy a better office chair... I said, if you quit smoking now, you can save the money and maybe buy a set of imported furniture that Yan Yan likes... You actually had a bag of cash in your pocket and refused to step into the tobacco shop... If you're not possessed, can you tell that I'm being sarcastic?"

"You're right. If I can quit smoking, when we buy a house, maybe I can really buy a set of imported furniture..." After a short pause, he continued, "Even if I can't afford a whole set of imported furniture, it shouldn't be a problem to buy Yan Yan an imported dressing table..."

"I see you haven't quit yet."

After saying that, I subconsciously looked at the box of cigarettes Fang Yuan placed on the corner of the table. They were very cheap. They were the Hongmei cigarettes that we often smoked when we were in college. At that time, they were four yuan a pack. Now it seems to have increased a little... I don’t know how much exactly, because I haven’t smoked this brand for a long time. I just feel that the taste is very bad. If I have a little spare money in my pocket, I don’t want to smoke this cigarette.

Fang Yuan lit a cigarette and replied, "We plan, and it takes a lot of brainpower... If we don't light a cigarette to relax, our brains won't be able to handle it... Otherwise, I'll really quit."

I looked at Fang Yuan, and suddenly I didn't know how to respond... Then, I felt guilty. Strictly speaking, he was not a good person to borrow money from, but as long as he had money, he lent it to me... But he was not so generous to himself. Every penny I borrowed from him was saved by him. I don't believe that a person who can't live without cigarettes would be unwilling to smoke some good cigarettes. There must be something more restrictive than the addiction to cigarettes...

For example, I want to buy a set of imported furniture that Yan Yan wants; for example, I can’t just ignore a bastard brother like him.

……

I swallowed subconsciously and said, "I don't smoke this anymore."

"I know you like to smoke Zhongnanhai..."

"No... I mean... be nice to yourself..."

Fang Yuan looked up at me...

After staring at each other for a while, I threw the box of cigarettes I just bought to him and said, "Take mine."

Fang Yuan picked it up, took a look, and exclaimed, "Wow, it's really a soft hit!"

"I have won the lottery, so I'll just treat it as a holiday."

Fang Yuan put out the cigarette in his hand, then took out a soft-serve cigarette and lit it. After savoring it for a while, he replied, "If you can really win 50 million, 99% of the troubles in front of you will be solved..."

"You expect your brother to take you flying?"

"I'm talking about your own problems..." After a short pause, Fang Yuan continued, "It can also solve my problems. You already have so much money. It's not too much to borrow two million from you to buy a house."

"If you really win 50 million, I'll give you half of it."

Fang Yuan smiled and said seriously, "I believe this."

"You believe something based on assumptions?"

"I know you... From the first time we met in the dormitory and had dinner together that night, I knew that you were a brother worth making friends with for life..."

"Is it that mysterious?"

"People have auras... You are one of the few who are willing to give unconditionally to someone... But this is a double-edged sword. While you win people's hearts, you can also be used by people with ulterior motives."

I smiled, "There is no such thing as a perfect person, and you are the same... If you strive to do your best in everything, your boss will like you very much... But your colleagues will think you are too outstanding and steal everyone's limelight... Therefore, no matter whether it is a person or a thing, there will be a stance... The stance determines the attitude and choice... We have never been the same kind of people, so the stance has become particularly important between us, and it is also the foundation for maintaining this relationship... Therefore, my idea is very simple, as long as I always maintain the same stance as you... We will never have a falling out..."

Fang Yuan was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why are you extending the topic again?... I just wanted to talk about you..."

"I want to talk about you, too...if we get together, we become us."

After that, I also lit a cigarette, and then in the diffused smoke, I thought about some things. These things have nothing to do with the past, but only about the future. Fang Yuan and I are two people with completely different personalities. What kind of life will we have in the future?

……

It was obvious that we all wanted to say something else, but the next moment, our thoughts were interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps. The person who came was one of the company's security guards. As he ran, he shouted to Fang Yuan: "Fang Yuan, something happened... The mute you hired started a fight with someone... No one can stop them, you should go over and try to persuade them, they are almost in a fight..."

Before Fang Yuan could react, I had already thought of Chen Bailu, because that "dumb" sounded extremely harsh to me.

I immediately ran to the company's security department, and Fang Yuan, who had reacted, followed me...

……

This was no longer a fight where the emotions could be controlled; when Fang Yuan and I arrived, the person Chen Bailu was fighting with had already been beaten to a bloody mess; Chen Bailu was not much better off, with a bruised face and nose.

At this moment, the two men were still hugging each other and fighting; the security guard had been in the company longer and was more familiar with the others, so there were several people in the crowd who helped him to mediate.

In a flash, Chen Bailu was thrown to the ground by him and suffered a crazy attack of punches and kicks.

……

This scene made me so furious that I started running when there was still a distance of ten meters, and then kicked the security guard hard in the chest.

At this moment, the reason for their fight was no longer so important to me. My motivation was only based on the instinct to protect Chen Bailu. In my heart, he seemed to have transformed into a non-blood-related brother, and I would not allow others to bully and exclude him like this.

……

While everyone was still in shock and doing nothing, I was already riding on the security guard and punching him hard again.

At this time, Chen Bailu not only did not stop because of my intervention, but he found an ashtray from somewhere and slammed it hard on the security guard's face...

The ashtray was broken, and the security guard's teeth were broken. He spat out a mouthful of blood containing the broken teeth and wailed hysterically...

At this moment, I was shocked along with everyone else!
