Are you looking for a lease or a boyfriend?

Broken love makes people paralyzed like mud, but lack of money can make people stand up.

Associate Professor Lin, who had been decadent for half a year because her boyfriend didn't say goodbye, sighed deeply.But he couldn't say that to the tenants who came to see the house, so he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile: "This is my own house, because the previous tenant moved out, so I hired you." Shared rent, this is the second bedroom."

Lin Shu pushed open the door, revealing the whole picture of the second bedroom: the room was completely white, with only a single bed and a set of tables and chairs. Although there were few things, it was better than clean and bright. Lin Shu had carefully cleaned the floor before. The dust is spotless, the glass windows are wiped as if there is nothing, and the light shines through the windows, reflecting the whole house with a clear feeling.

"It's really clean." The tenant praised.

The inspector's surname was Xie, and his full name was Xie Mingshan. He was a young, tall boy. He looked about 27 or [-] inches tall, with sharp eyebrows, a straight nose, thin lips, and a heroic handsomeness.Wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, which vaguely outlines the undulating lines of the muscles, he has not missed the gym.

Lin Shu is quite satisfied with this potential tenant. After all, we will face each other day and night in the future. The tenant has a handsome face and he can live together happily.To put it bluntly, Associate Professor Lin is a dog.

"My place is very close to the subway station. It takes only 10 minutes to walk out of the community. There are also vegetable markets and supermarkets nearby, so life and shopping are very convenient." Yan Gou Linshu worked hard to secure his own house: "The house It was refurbished the year before last, and there are no problems with the plumbing and electrical wiring, so you can rest assured. Moreover, there are old residential areas nearby, without high-rise buildings, and the lighting is also very good."

"It's pretty good. I've looked at several of them. Professor Shulin's house is clean and tidy." Xie Mingshan walked around in the second bedroom and asked, "Can I ask why the previous tenant moved out?"

"Not sure, it seems that the family has arranged a job." Lin Shu pushed his glasses and faked a smile.

Because that hot chicken broke up with me, and went back to his hometown to get married!

In fact, Lin Shu didn't have any former tenants. The one who lived with him in this house before was his boyfriend at the time——Li Hui.

It happened half a year ago.That day Lin counted down to get off work, thinking in his heart that the weather is too cold today, so let's eat something warm.So I turned to a nearby vegetable market, bought a piece of fresh Chinese cabbage, cut half a catty of pork belly and a big stick bone, and prepared to go back to make pork bone soup thousand-layer hot pot.

However, when he returned home with food for two, he found that the house was empty, only a breakup letter from his boyfriend who had been in love for four years,

Li Hui just disappeared from home.

That day, Lin Shu numbly cooked a pot of fragrant pork bone soup according to the original plan, peeled the cabbage layer by layer, sandwiched thinly sliced ​​pork belly in the middle, cut it into sections and put it into the casserole, poured the boiled milk The white soup, stewed with aroma, spread all over the house.

Lin Shu ate half of the pork bone hot pot and couldn't eat it anymore. The remaining half was piled in the casserole, and he didn't clean it up. He threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he struggled to put on half of his clothes, and felt that everything was boring, so he simply fell back on the bed, sent a text message asking for leave indiscriminately, and fell asleep again sullenly.

Because of a broken relationship, Lin Shu spent half a year like this. However, half a year later, Lin Shu suddenly found that his monthly living expenses had far exceeded his budget.After all, when two people lived, Lin Shu's salary was used to pay the mortgage, and her boyfriend's salary was used to pay most of the household.Now that her boyfriend is gone, after Lin Shu pays the mortgage and living expenses, the money she can save has shrunk a lot.However, in order to change the car for his ex-boyfriend, Lin Shu took out all the savings they had saved. Now that the savings are pitifully small, the more you look at it, the more you feel that you have no idea.

No, no, without a boyfriend, I have to praise money, otherwise I won't be able to handle a minor illness or disaster.

Lin Shu thought about the tragic scene of lying on a hospital bed, but was forced to squat in the hospital corridor to avoid the wind because he could not afford the hospitalization fee. He immediately cheered up and thought about renting out half of his house.

This house was bought in the second year of Lin Shu's work. He has a special personality and dare not live in the single dormitory of the unit with his colleagues. He spent his savings early on and bought a second-hand house with two bedrooms and one living room.

Lin Shu is going to move to the study by himself, and rent out the bedroom he lives in now, more than 2000 a month, which can be used for living expenses, and he can also share the utility bills with the people who share the rent. Nowadays, young people go out early and return late to order takeaway If they don't fire, the two of them open in half, and they can save a little money on their side.

Lin Shu's small calculations clicked, and he immediately released a news about the joint rent, and cleaned up the inside and outside of the home that had not been cleaned up for half a year. A decadent middle-aged man transformed into a gentle scum with gold-rimmed glasses, waiting for tenants to come and see the house.

However, looking for a tenant is like finding a boyfriend. Lin Shu thought that he would bow his head and look up with the tenant in the future, so he couldn't help but pick and choose the people who came to see the house. Those who don't look like good people can't rent, they are sloppy You can't rent the ones that are sick, let alone those that are crooked. However, after these conditions are screened, Lin Shu wants to find a good-looking one with a stable salary.After all, it is beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and the salary is stable without worrying about rent arrears, so Lin Shu's house has been listed for two months. There are many people looking at the house, but still haven't found a satisfactory tenant.

Until the arrival of Xie Mingshan.

Xie Mingshan really grew up in Lin Shu's aesthetic point, not only good-looking, but also very stable.I introduce myself as working in an environmental protection company. I don’t talk much, but I speak in a very orderly manner. I don’t wander around by myself when I look at the house. I will pay attention not to infringe Lin Shu’s privacy. I seem to be a very well-behaved office worker. , which made Lin Shu very satisfied.

"Professor Lin, I'm quite satisfied with your house. I have another question. Do you have a parking space for rent?" Xie Mingshan asked.

"Uh..." Lin Shu got stuck.

office

Lin Shu had just finished his lecture, so he poured himself a cup of soaked chrysanthemum fat sea, and clicked on WeChat to see if Xie Mingshan had sent a message about renting a house.

He and Xie Mingshan were very satisfied with viewing the house that day, but Lin Shu had a hard time with the last question: he really didn't have a parking space, he bought a second-hand house, the original owner didn't buy a parking space, and when he wanted to buy it again, he had already There was nothing vacant to sell to him.Fortunately, the ex-boyfriend's company is not far from home, and the car can be parked at the company, so the matter of buying a parking space has never been mentioned again.

Who would have imagined that a small problem back then has become a major obstacle for Lin Shu to rent a house. When Xie Mingshan heard that there was no parking space, he said that he would consider it, but there was no news after that.

Alas, the tenant in my mind is the most preferred, are you going to leave me like this?

Lin Shu muttered in his heart.

"Xiao Lin, I heard that you recently recruited co-renters?"

A female voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Lin Shu almost threw the phone out.

It was the secretary of the courtyard who spoke, Yu Tong, who was tall and big, and liked to chat with people about his parents in the office in his spare time.When Lin Shu just graduated, Secretary Yu introduced him to many people, but Lin Shu prevaricated them all.

This is... who leaked it to me.

Lin Shu pressed loudly in his heart, took a deep breath, showed a professional smile, and said, "Yes, the original co-tenant has left, and I have to find another one."

Hearing this, Yu Tong showed a commercial smirk, and said, "Oh, Xiao Lin, let me tell you something. My nephew didn't study in Shanghai before. He graduated this year and wanted to work in Beijing. Originally, he said he would live first. My house, but..."

But what the hell!Do you want your nephew to live in my house!Don't even think about it!If your nephew finds out that I'm gay, how can I mess around at school!

As soon as Yu Tong opened his mouth, Lin Shu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly thought of an excuse to refuse.Yu Tong is a very vengeful person, if he refuses casually, he will inevitably be put on small shoes.

Xiao Xie: 【Professor Lin, I inspected the house yesterday. I thought about it. Can I rent it for a year first? 】

At this anxious moment, Lin Shu's phone vibrated, and a message popped up.

【Can】

It was really drowsy and sent the pillow, Lin Shu's body reacted before his brain, and he quickly returned to it.

Yu Tong over there was still chattering: "Oh, so you see, it's not suitable to live in my house now, so I can only rent a house for him..."

"Hey! Secretary Yu, my house has just been rented out." Lin Shu didn't mean that Tong had finished speaking, and he concocted an exaggerated smirk first, and said, "You are really my noble person. Give me this right now With such good news."

After speaking, he also showed his WeChat interface to increase his convincing degree.

Xiao Xie's last sentence just popped up on the interface [Then I will sign the contract in the afternoon. 】

Yu Tong: ...

After sending Yu Tong away, Lin Shu couldn't help looking forward to his happy shared renting life...but what the hell is this in front of him!

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of moving, and Lin Shu saw that the well-behaved office worker before him was shirtless, revealing a strong arm with a dragon tattoo on his shoulders. Small.

The whole person is not well.

Those stretched muscles!That ferocious over-the-shoulder dragon!That hill-like solid figure!This is a ghost office worker, this is a thug!

Go to the gym to exercise, don't you exercise your muscles in the process of beating others.

Lin Shu expressionlessly imagined the shirtless Xie Mingshan grabbing a vague-faced NPC to the corner, threatening to sink you into the Grand Canal if he didn't pay back the money tomorrow.

Lin Shu shuddered.

Lin Shu sighed deeply, cursed himself, his ex-boyfriend, and Yu Tong, and accepted this cruel fact.

After all, the contract has been signed, the money has been paid, and the things have been moved. If he says no to renting now, he will be beaten to death on the ground.

However, at night, Lin Shu changed his mind.

After moving house in the morning, Xie Mingshan disappeared, and when he came back, it was already late at night.Xie Mingshan was so drunk that he entered the house clangingly all the way, perhaps not familiar with the place, staggered and dropped one of Lin Shu's vases.

Lin Shu had already fallen asleep, but he woke up again when he heard a "crash" outside. He hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door. Seeing the mess in the living room, he glanced at Xie Mingshan from the corner of his eye. His face was full of drunkenness, and he didn't even enter the door. Sitting on the ground leaning on the door panel, it seems to have fallen asleep.

Lin Shu hesitated for a moment, but decided to send the tenant back to the house.However, when he supported Xie Mingshan's shoulder, Xie Mingshan woke up in an instant, pinched Lin Shu's hand that came over, and stared at Lin Shu dangerously with his eyes like a wolf staring at its prey.

Following Xie Mingshan's movements, the dragon head on his shoulder exposed its fangs to Lin Shu from the neckline.

Lin Shu withdrew his hand immediately, and hurriedly fled back to the room.

In the second half of the third year of junior high school, rumors that he was a gay got out somehow. Fortunately, the school atmosphere in the experimental middle school was not bad, and everyone was busy with the high school entrance examination, so no one paid attention to Lin Shu.

But because of this incident, Lin Shu was targeted by gangsters outside the school.

The gangster is a straight man. It is said that once when he was drunk outside, his butt was touched in the men's room.It's a small matter of innocence, but you can't lose face. It happened that Lin Shu's story got out at this time, and the gangster approached Lin Shu with the mentality of looking for a place.

Lin Shu has been beaten for half a month, and every time he sits at the desk with a bruised nose and swollen face, there are still footprints from being kicked on his chest and abdomen. Because of his sexual orientation, Lin Shu seems invisible in class, and he usually has a good relationship His classmates alienated him one after another, and Lin Shu had nowhere to turn for help, so he had to endure seemingly endless beatings.Fortunately, half a month later, the gangster got into the police because of robbery, and Lin Shu was freed from this nightmare-like experience.

In fact, after careful calculation, this was already more than 20 years ago. These years, Lin Shu has lived a peaceful and stable life, and the haze of this period of youth has gradually faded away.But today, it became clear because of Xie Mingshan.

There is no other reason, it's all about that little gangster and Xie Mingshan, both of them have an identical over-the-shoulder dragon on their shoulders.

Give him more money tomorrow and let him move out.

As a 36-year-old mature associate professor, Lin Shu didn't want the shadow of his childhood to affect his current life, but helplessly, the dangerous aura that erupted from Xie Mingshan just now really touched Lin Shu's inner fear. Lie back, just wanting to let this miserable night pass quickly.
