My 26-year-old Female Tenant

  I stared at this message for a long time, and suddenly I laughed. Of course I knew the purpose of Mi Cai's visit to Xuzhou, but the suspicion just now was more like a mockery of myself in the midst of right and wrong.

  I finally sent a message back to Mi Cai: "Tell me, did you come to Xuzhou to play video games, eat ground pot, or something else?"

  Mi Cai didn’t reply to the message immediately, but I remembered Le Yao’s proposal to let me go to Lijiang to relax, and I became a little entangled for a moment.

   It took a long time to reply to Le Yao: "Not going."

  Le Yao didn't ask me why I didn't go, but just returned a contemptuous expression, and then said "good night" and ended our conversation.

  I asked myself, if it wasn’t for Mi Cai who wanted to come to Xuzhou, would I have accepted Le Yao’s proposal to go to Lijiang? In fact, I couldn’t go to Lijiang, because it’s not suitable for me to stay in Lijiang, the city of romance, with Le Yao.

  I lay flat on the bed, still staring at the ceiling in a daze, but thinking about what answer Mi Cai would give me.

   After a while, I finally received a reply from Mi Cai: "Of course there is another purpose, but playing video games and eating ground pot are also two essential things in the itinerary."

   "What else is the purpose?" I went back almost instantly.

   After waiting for a long time, Mi Cai replied: "I want to see you..."

The mere three words made the withered flowers in my heart miraculously bloom again, and I also felt that if the word "seeing" in the three words "want to see you" was removed, it would be more sharp and penetrating, so Replied: "Can you remove the word see?"

  Mi Cai replied with a voice message: "You really know how to find a topic... I'm going to sleep, I won't talk to you anymore, I have to get up early tomorrow."

  I don't mind being avoided by Mi Cai's ambiguous teasing, and replied: "If you don't say it, you don't say it...then you want to come to my house for lunch?"

  This time, Mi Cai quickly replied: "How do you feel?"

  I was thinking about it, and I was a little worried that my mother would not give her good looks because of the matter between me and Li Xiaoyun, so I planned to talk to Ban Dae about this matter. If Ban Dae said it was okay, I would have confidence in my heart.

  I immediately sent a message to Ban Dad: "My Dad, are you asleep?"

   "Sleep right away."

   "I'm a bit insomnia, take out your old wine and have a drink with me."

  …

  In the living room, Dad brought a bottle of old wine, each of them poured a small glass, and then chatted.

   "Ban Dae, let me tell you something."

   "Well, you say."

   "You must know that I'm not drinking with you because of insomnia?"

"Um."

  I touched the tip of my nose subconsciously, and then said: "Comrade Xiaomi is coming to Xuzhou tomorrow... Is it appropriate for you to come to our house for lunch?"

  Ban Dae took a sip of wine and asked, "Could it be that she has other relatives and friends in Xuzhou?"

  I quickly shook my head and replied, "No, there really isn't one..."

  Ban Dae didn’t say anything, I suddenly said: “You think it’s okay, right?”

   "Since she came to Xuzhou to look for you, if she doesn't come to our house for dinner, is it possible to let her, who is a big Chinese New Year, go to the restaurant to eat?"

I breathed a sigh of relief, then clinked a cup with Ban Dae, and said with a smile: "If you say this, it will be fine, and my mother should help you out. Xiaomi is a thin-skinned girl, you know that , don't let my mother treat her coldly, it will be embarrassing!"

  Ban Dae nodded his head to accept the matter.

  After returning to the room, I immediately sent a message to Mi Cai with confidence: "There is nothing wrong. I will pick you up at the exit of the expressway tomorrow, and then we will have dinner at our house."

   "No, I know your family."

   "Yes, you have been here..."

   "Well, see you tomorrow then."

   "Okay, pay attention to driving on the road!"

  …

  The next day, I got up early in the morning, and then chatted with my mother who was making breakfast. I tentatively asked: "Mom, do you know that I have a friend who is coming to Xuzhou today?"

   "I heard what your dad said."

  My mother's lukewarm tone made me a little worried, and I asked again: "Then what do you say?"

   "The saying of buying vegetables and cooking."

  I was a little relieved and warned, "After all, this is a cross-regional visit, you must show the enthusiasm of our Xuzhou people!"

   "I know it."

  I smiled at my mother and thanked her for her cooperation. When I was about to leave, I didn't want my mother to hold me back and ask, "Tell me honestly, what is your relationship with that Suzhou girl?"

   "Didn't you just say, just a friend! The house I live in Suzhou belongs to her, and we have a good relationship."

My mother said with dissatisfaction on her face: "I knew you couldn't get any truth out of your mouth... You, if you can find a girlfriend in a down-to-earth manner, I don't mean to force you and Xiaoyun to marry me." Together, but... see for yourself, what is this now?"

"Mom, can we not talk about Xiaoyun for now, can we ignore her gender and treat her as a visiting friend?...Let me tell you the truth, I really have nothing to do with her at the moment. It's similar, laugh when you should laugh, entertain what you should entertain, okay?"

   "I have no problem cooperating with you, but you have to think about it yourself, how old are you this year! Shouldn't it be time to find a girl to make me and your dad feel at ease?"

   "You are right, I will work hard this year to live up to your and Ban Dad's expectations!"

   "I hope you don't just talk about it."

   "Don't worry, if you can find a suitable girl, who would want to be alone!"

  …

  After breakfast, I took a pack of cigarettes and made a cup of tea and sat on the balcony. I was afraid of missing the arrival of Mi Cai, but I didn’t want to think about how long it would take to drive all the way from Shanghai to Xuzhou.

  About 11:30 noon, I finally saw Mi Cai’s red q7 driving into the community, and ran from upstairs to downstairs with a “boo”.

After I guided Mi Cai to park the car, she got out of the car with her handbag in her hand. We stood not far from each other and looked at each other. We felt like we hadn’t seen each other for a few days, but it seemed like we had been separated for several days. year.

  I finally said, "It's nice to meet you."

"Me too."

   After another period of silence, I said to Mi Cai: "Let's go up and eat. Ban Dae cooks it himself."

   "Wait, I brought some presents for your parents, please go to the trunk and take them out."

   "What gifts to bring? The gifts you bought last year are still in the old house, and you haven't brought them back to Xuzhou."

   "Good boy, go and help me take it out."

  Because Mi Cai used the word "beautiful", we instantly became intimate, so that I stared at her for a long time.

  Mi Cai asked with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that, are you going to ask me why I'm so white later?"

   "Yeah, why are you so white and so good-looking?"

   "Take out the things first, and then we can talk slowly." Mi Cai urged me still in a good mood.

  I just took out something from the trunk of her car and asked curiously, "What did you buy?"

   "I bought a bag for your mother, and your father bought a fishing rod because he loves fishing!"

I opened the shopping bag and looked, and sure enough, I saw a Prada bag inside, and said a little funnyly: "Do you believe that my mother can take this bag to the vegetable market, you really don't have to spend so much money!  … I guess my dad spent a lot of money on that fishing rod, right?"

  Mi Cai didn't care, and deliberately brought up the topic and said, "Didn't you just ask me why I am so white? Do you want an answer?"

  While leading Mi Cai to the corridor, I said, "Of course, why are you so white?"

  Mi Cai pretended to be mysterious, but gave me a perfunctory answer after a long time: "Because I am a girl from Jiangnan water town...haha!"

   "Bah, it's really perfunctory. There are thousands of girls in Jiangnan, and I haven't seen many Bai who are like you!... You must have turned into a goblin!"
