My 26-year-old Female Tenant

I just stared at Mi Cai, but the heart that had been silent in love for several years was throbbing. I couldn't speak for a long time. I lit a cigarette for myself in the busy street, and turned my head to look at Mi Caiying. The figure on the window is a bit trance-like, a bit like a dream.

  I exhaled a long puff of smoke and went straight to Mi Cai, but she didn't avoid it, and still looked at me with the same expression just now.

  I just squeezed the cigarette in my hand, without taking another puff, I smiled and asked Mi Cai: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"do not know."

"If time freezes here, and then we are old in a blink of an eye, with drooping eyebrows and gray temples, we help each other cross the road, and huddle by the fire to keep warm. If I still have strength, I am willing to play the guitar for you. Let you sing... But you and I are only 26 years old, no, just passed\' years old, and there is still a long way to go, but I have the short leg, which cannot match your slender leg , so we'll be limping all the way..."

  Mi Cai was silent, but she must understand what I said, she is so smart.

I flicked off the soot that had accumulated for a long time, took a deep breath, and let the smoke go painfully from my lungs before I spit it out, and said with a smile: "I admire your beauty, I like your every frown and smile, but These are not as solid as falling in love with your wrinkles in your old age, so..."

  Mi Cai interrupted me, she smiled back at me: "Zhaoyang, I want to hear you sing, right now..."

  I looked at her puzzled, but the cigarette **** in my hand had burned to the end, burning my hand, so I hurriedly threw it away.

   "I want you to sing elopement...can you sing it to me?"

  Seeing her expectant expression, I couldn't bear to refuse any more, nodded, and sang in a low voice on the crowded street.

"...My dream is true love and freedom. I want to take you and elope to the farthest town. I want to take you and elope to be the happiest person. In a familiar foreign land, I will exile myself year after year, walking through flowers and thorns Only for the land of freedom, in the city of ** You are my last faith, white as a light of joy illuminating my heart, don't be sad anymore I see hope, do you still have the courage to leave with me, think Take you to elope to the farthest town, I want to take you to elope, to be the happiest person..."

  The lyrics seemed to tear apart the most primitive desire in my heart, I couldn’t control it, the transition from a low voice to hoarseness, so many passers-by stopped, stood with us under the same street light, and looked at us...

"Zhaoyang, just like the song says, if you yearn for true love and freedom, you will definitely walk through thorns and flowers... I want to ask you, do you still have the courage to find the last faith in the lonely city, and bring you Follow me to the farthest town?"

  I looked at the crowds all around me, feeling a little dizzy from all kinds of eyes, and the world was in a trance again. In my script, I have never written such a plot at this time. What happened to Mi Cai? Even if you want to confess, it should be me, a man who confesses first, not her, a fairy who fell into the mortal world...

I squatted on the ground and signaled Mi Cai to come to my back. Without hesitation, Mi Cai bent down and lay on my back. I supported her to overcome the resistance and stood up from the ground. Running in the distance, she unexpectedly spotted Li Xiaoyun standing in the crowd for a moment, her figure gradually blurred with the voice of the discussion until she disappeared.

  …

  Avoiding the hustle and bustle of the city, I came to the ancient moat with the rice color on my back. Unlike the moat in Suzhou, the moat in Xuzhou is more mottled and old, but also quieter.

  I stopped, and Mi Cai left my body. I bent over and panted heavily. This journey not only released madness and joy, but also brought a heavy burden to my body.

  I lay on the withered lawn, Mi Cai sat beside me, she took out a tissue and handed it to me.

   "Thank you." I took the tissue from her hand and wiped the sweat off my face.

   A gust of wind blew by, and the sound of firecrackers blew up, blowing off the fireworks in the distance, and also blew us into silence.

   Mi Cai also seemed a little tired, she lay down beside me.

I wanted to take out the cigarettes from my pocket, but found that the cigarette case had been lost during the violent running just now. I was a little nervous, but I still followed my inner thoughts and said to Mi Cai beside me: "Wait for me...wait for me to rest I will confess to you in a moment."

   "Well... Do you want cigarettes, I'll buy them for you."

   "Yes, but you have to travel a long way to buy it. Aren't you afraid of getting tired?"

  Mi Cai shook her head: "Don't be afraid, I can walk around and rest, but don't forget to confess your love to me later."

   "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

   "Well, what would you like to smoke?"

   "Zhongnanhai at point eight."

  Mi Cai nodded and was about to leave, but I stopped her again: "Wait..."

"What's wrong?"

   "Are you... nervous?"

   "Nervous...so, I need to walk and you need to smoke."

   "That's right, then you go slowly, but you must come back."

  Mi Cai smiled: "Are you afraid that you won't be able to smoke, or are you afraid that I won't come back?"

   "I'm afraid you won't come back, cigarettes can always be bought, if you don't buy them, I can buy them myself."

"I understand."

   "Well, go, bring the smoke, bring you, and bring my faith back together... No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."

  …

  Mi Cai left, and I was the only one left in my world, so I sat up on the lawn with melancholy and disappointment, and looked at the rippling river in a daze.

  I can imagine what will happen in half an hour, maybe an hour.

  Last year, she was 26 years old. I met her. She was my landlord or tenant. This year she was \'years old, but she became my girlfriend, and together they helped me find the long-lost belief.

   But how am I feeling now? It's hard to explain, but I know it's time to fight. I don't want to be that leg shorter than hers, and I don't want her to accommodate me and help me move forward.

  But what kind of height do you have to reach in order to walk smoothly with her? I am a little disappointed, because now I have no plans for my career at all, and my thinking is still in search of a stable job. Obviously, this so-called stable job can no longer satisfy me.

  In the coexistence of joy and bewilderment, I received a message, which was sent by Jian Wei: "Zhaoyang, the guitar and I have already returned with Aji, and you should pay off the money owed to Aji."

I know that when Jian Wei saw Aji, she probably already knew that I exchanged this guitar for another guitar and gave it to Mi Cai, so she didn’t give Aji any money, which is understandable, if she gave Aji For money, Taylor's guitar was indirectly given to Mi Cai by her. Isn't this black humor?

I read this message over and over again, but I felt that the gears of fate seemed to be turning between us. When this guitar returned to Jian Wei's side again, it meant that we had at least made a complete separation in material terms. I crossed the boundary and erased the unforgettable mark from now on. On the same day, I came together with Mi Cai because of my love. Is this a coincidence or fate?

  I hope it is fate, if it is fate at least there are traces to follow, if it is a coincidence, we can only uneasy ups and downs in the storm of coincidence!
