Chapter 32: The day of the paycheck

I sat at the entrance of the corridor and waited for nearly forty minutes, and Robben was not finished yet. I was a little unbearable by the cold autumn wind and wanted to go up and urge him.

As soon as he got up, the woman named Lily walked down from above, and the air was filled with a strong smell of perfume.

"It's over?" I asked, tucking my clothes.

Lily glanced at me and said dissatisfiedly: "If it weren't for you, I'd been here tonight."

"Robben has several bars to run tomorrow, so don't bother him."

"I don't understand why two men live together!" Lily said to me unwillingly.

"I stayed here for a while, and then moved out when I found the house." I explained to Lily with some dissatisfaction.

Lily nodded and then said, "I forgot to bring my wallet, give me 50 yuan to take a taxi."

I was a little surprised: "Why didn't you ask Robben for it just now?"

"I just forgot and don't bother to go up again, so don't bother me, hurry up." Lily made another move to ask me for money.

"You're not a lady, are you?"

Lily gave me a blank look and said, "Have you ever seen a lady who comes out for only 50 yuan?"

"That's right." I said, taking out my wallet from my pocket. After rummaging for a long time, I couldn't find the 50. Lily directly took a 100-degree piece and shook it in front of me, as if I was sleeping with her.

After Lily left, I felt that living in Robben was not a long-term solution. After all, it was not very convenient and was far from the company, so I still had to continue looking for a house.

...

When I returned to the house, there seemed to be a slutty smell in the air. I subconsciously looked at the bed, but the quilt was still stacked.

"I'm afraid you're uncomfortable sleeping, so I didn't do it in the bed." Robben explained to me.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Robben smiled: "It's not hard, it's the same as sleeping or standing."

I put the cherries I brought from Micai on the table and said to Robben: "I gave it to you by my friend, please try it."

"Oh, it's still imported from Chile. Which friend of you is so extravagant?" Robben said, picking up one and throwing it into his mouth.

I didn't answer for a long time and realized that calling Micai a friend was a bit wishful thinking. In fact, we were at most a little better than strangers. At least many times Micai was very annoyed to me.

"Just a friend." I responded vaguely.

This was an indifferent thing, and Robben didn't ask, took out the guitar from the guitar box, plucked the strings, and asked me again: "Didn't you use this awesome guitar to pay off your debt? Why did it come back to you?"

"She gave it back to me again." I answered truthfully.

"Who is she?"

"Do I want to write a book to answer you?"

Robben smiled at me with an understanding look and said, "Calm down..." Finally, he stopped asking me, then plucked the guitar strings, and a song "Cinderella" floated out of the ten-square-meter attic in the autumn wind of the night.

...

The night was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water. Robben and I were lying on the bed, each holding a cigarette in his hand, as confused and silent.

A gust of wind outside the window suddenly blew hard, and immediately dispelled the smoke in the house.

I took a deep breath of smoke and vomited heavily, and the smell of tobacco began to fill the room.

I quickly finished smoking a cigarette, put it out in the ashtray, and finally asked Robben, "Ben, what are you thinking?"

"I miss a girl." Robben said, taking a deep breath of cigarettes.

I joked, "Didn't you just slept with Lily?"

Robben smiled and squeezed out the cigarette in his hand, smoked one from the cigarette box and lit it, and after a while, he said, "I don't know how she is now."

"If you want her, contact her and treat her as an old friend."

"Do you dare to contact Jian Wei for more than two years?" Robben asked me back.

"Why are you trying to get me and Jian Wei?"

"The same truth, what can I change after contacting it? Just think about it!"

"I just feel wronged for you. I still love you. I was forced by her parents. In the end, I left a bad reputation for betrayal in her heart."

"As long as she lives a happy life, my grievances are nothing."

I also lit another cigarette, took two puffs and fell into silence, and did not instigate Robben to contact the Beijing girl.

"Go to sleep, it's almost dawn." Robben snatched out half of his cigarette in the ashtray and said to me.

I looked out the window, as if I had seen through all the darkness before dawn, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart: Life is really an unsolvable problem, right and wrong, true and false...

...

The next day, I spent another day in a busy life. This kind of busyness I had never had in the company in the first two years. It was mainly because Fang Yuan's work temporarily fell on me, but it was not a bad thing. If I was lucky enough to become the leader of the planning copywriting team, then now it is a process of adapting in advance.

In addition to being busy for a day, I have other gains. I finally got my salary today, so when I was about to get off work, I planned how to spend this month's salary.

After thinking for a long time, I decided to use the first consumption of this money to treat Micai to dinner. I still remember how annoyed she was when I tricked her to Fangyuan’s wedding in the name of dinner a few days ago. There is no doubt that this matter was something I did. Therefore, I must invite her to this meal tonight with the most sincere attitude, first to apologize, and secondly, thank her for cooperating with me in the bar the night before, so that I would not feel ashamed in front of Jian Wei.

I found Mi Cai's phone number and dialed it out. She answered it for a while. Her tone was still calm and she said, "Hey, is there anything wrong?"

"Want to invite you to have dinner to enjoy your face in the evening?" I said sincerely.

"Which friend of yours got married again this time?"

I was a little speechless. She always choked me to death with such a calm calmness. After a while, she said, "I'm not getting married this time, I just want to treat you to a meal."

"Oh, forget it today."

I was a little disappointed, but I insisted: "Come on, I got my salary today. The first thing I thought of you is, don't refuse if I am so kind."

"My car has been taken for maintenance, and it is not convenient to take a taxi here, so next time." Mi Cai finally gave me a reason not to come this time.

"This is easy to deal with. I have a car. I'll pick you up. Where are you?"

"Do you have a car?" Mi Cai asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's similar to your car. Just give me some face and take you to an interesting restaurant tonight, and I guarantee you like it."

Mi Cai thought about it and finally replied: "Well, I'm in Liu'an Jingyuan, come here."

"You live in Liu'an Jingyuan!" I sighed, because this is a very high-end community in the local area. It should be that the bathroom was sprayed with insecticides yesterday, so Mi Cai went to Liu'an Jingyuan to live.

"Ask so much what to do." Mi Cai hung up the phone after saying that.

I smiled and didn't care about Micai's attitude. I had expected that she would have other rooms in Suzhou.

Putting the phone in my pocket, I said to Zhao Li, who was still busy next door: "Zhao Li, you borrowed it from your little prince Alto tonight."

Zhao Li raised his head and looked at me alertly, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Fill you up after using it, hurry up." I said impatiently.

"You said it, don't fool me." Zhao Li said, taking out the car key from the drawer and handed it to me.

...

As it got darker, I drove towards the "Liuanjingyuan" community in Zhaoli. This time I didn't fool Micai. The car I drove now is indeed the same as hers. Her name is Audi, and mine is Alto, which is also eye-catching purple-red.
