My 26-year-old female tenant

Chapter 17: Three Years Later

This night, in fact, I didn't sleep much. I asked myself if I wanted to go back to the past, to those days when she still loved me, and then we held hands and rejoiced in silence.

But I am living in the present, living in the back she has turned away, and then I miss her badly, and then I laugh at her ruthlessness!

The night turned into the morning, and the sun didn't know when it shone into my room through the gap in the curtains, and finally stopped on the glass bottle with flowers, forming a colorful halo, which seems to indicate that this is another great morning.

Yes, even without the sun's indication, this is a great morning, because a couple will get married today, and I should not pollute this morning and their wedding with anxious emotions. I tell myself that I must have a sunny attitude.

I found the most handsome suit from the wardrobe, shaved my beard, and found a hair dryer to blow a very energetic hairstyle for myself. I smiled at the mirror, made sure I was sunny, and then I was ready to leave this room to send wedding blessings to Yuan Fang and Yan Yan.

...

At noon, I and a group of guests were waiting for the wedding car outside the hotel, and also waiting for Jian Wei, who accompanied Yan Yan as a bridesmaid.

The wedding car was late, and I heard that it was congested on the road. This is a t*****e for me. At this time, I would rather see Jian Wei sooner, and the difficult thing is this anxiety before meeting. Anyway, I can't avoid meeting, so I'd rather be refreshing. Maybe after meeting, we just treat each other as strangers, which would be the best!

I squeezed out of the crowd and sat on the stone stool opposite the hotel, feeling even more anxious. This anxiety is hard to describe in words. I always feel that Yan Yan and Yuan Fang's wedding, which symbolizes perfection, is a cruel interrogation for me.

This interrogation is not only emotional but also material. Why did I and Yuan Fang graduate from the same school and start from the same point, but now he has a small career and has achieved success with the person he loves, while I am so down and out, living a life without a fixed residence and borrowing money everywhere.

In the self-interrogation, my heart is full of suffocating loneliness and loss. At this moment, I really hope that there is a woman beside me to cover up this loneliness and loss, so that I can go to bless Yuan Fang and Yan Yan with a smiling face that at least looks happy.

After smoking a cigarette, I finally took out my mobile phone from my pocket and then called my female tenant Mi Cai.

After waiting for a while, Mi Cai answered the phone, and I hurriedly asked, "Are you up?"

"What for?" Mi Cai's tone was a bit alert.

I smiled, trying to let her relax first, and then said, "Actually, I want to invite you to have a meal..."

"There's no need for that. We are not very familiar," Mi Cai seemed to refuse without thinking.

"There is a need for it. You see, you lent me money and took me in, which is a great kindness to me. If I don't invite you to have a meal, I will really become the scum you say!"

Mi Cai was silent for a while, and I made the most of the heat and said, "Come on, I have chosen the place, and I sincerely hope you will give me a chance to completely get rid of the low-level title of scum."

After Mi Cai was silent again, she said to me, "Where is the place to eat?"

"Ya Ming Hotel."

"Ya Ming Hotel? Did I hear wrong?" Mi Cai asked with doubt.

"Of course not, only a five-star hotel can show my sincerity in inviting you to dinner, so... you must come, this meal is worth a week's salary for me!" I emphasized the tone with sincerity and pretended to be "heartbroken" and said.

"I see, wait for me for 20 minutes." After a pause, she added, "Don't be so extravagant in the future, and it's the same to sincerely invite me to eat anywhere."

I didn't expect Mi Cai to consider my financial difficulties, and I was stunned before answering, "I see, I'll wait for you outside the hotel." After that, Mi Cai and I hung up the phone respectively, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. I thought: If I deceive Mi Cai to accompany me, I won't seem so lonely and down and out later!

Fifteen minutes passed, and the wedding motorcade had not yet arrived, seemingly encountering an unprecedented traffic jam. At this moment, I was no longer as anxious as before, which made me think that calling Mi Cai was a very wise decision.

Another five minutes passed, and I saw the red Audi Q7. Mi Cai really kept her promise and came. She parked the car in the open-air parking lot, and I immediately went to meet her.

The two of us stood by the fountain in the hotel square. I spoke first, "I was still a bit worried that you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to be so punctual, exactly 20 minutes."

"I'm not like some people who take breaking promises as a matter of course," Mi Cai took the opportunity to criticize me.

I smiled and said, "The person you're talking about is me, right? It's okay, you can just say it outright, I won't be angry with you."

"You're not angry because you have a thick skin!" Mi Cai retorted again.

I smiled again but didn't say anything more.

Mi Cai looked across at the hotel and asked me, "Can we go eat now?"

"Of course, but we have to wait a bit longer for a few more people."

"Are there other people?"

Just as Mi Cai finished speaking, the waiting crowd began to make a commotion, and then eight cars with double happiness characters and ribbons drove into the hotel courtyard in a line, they finally arrived!

I didn't have time to talk to Mi Cai beside me, my gaze uncontrollably fixed on the wedding car carrying the bride. I knew Jian Wei was also in that car, and my breathing suddenly became disordered.

The groom, Yuan Fang, got out of the car first, then went to the other side of the car to help Yan Yan open the door. He picked her up from the car with a princess hold, which made the onlookers applaud and cheer. The happiness that overflowed instantly overwhelmed me.

Amidst the crowd, I finally saw Jian Wei getting out of the car. She was holding a bouquet of flowers, wearing a sapphire blue dress. The sunlight at noon shone on her arm, crystal clear, and her face was still so beautiful. Under a pair of willow leaf-like eyebrows, her peach blossom-like eyes seemed to have ripples moving. Among all the women I know, her eyes are the most beautiful.

Jian Wei handed the flowers in her hand to Yan Yan, who was held in Yuan Fang's arms, and then clapped and cheered with the crowd. She never looked at me from beginning to end, and maybe she didn't care that I was on the scene at the moment.

I was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said to Mi Cai, who was a bit confused about the situation, "My friends are here... Let's go in and eat."

Mi Cai's face was cold: "You came to attend a friend's wedding, not to sincerely invite me to eat, right?"

"I'm sincere, it's just that there are a few more people."

"Scumbag!" Mi Cai scolded me, took out the car key from her handbag, and turned to walk towards the car not far away.

I couldn't let Mi Cai leave. Yes! I did deceive her, but such deception didn't hurt her at all. At least she could have a wedding feast. Since she was already here, it didn't make sense to leave.

I reached out and grabbed Mi Cai, and my tone became heavy uncontrollably: "Why do you like to be so serious! I invited you to my friend's wedding feast, what's wrong with that? You just need to eat and drink enough, and it won't hurt you!"

Mi Cai hit me with her bag, walking and saying, "I emphasize once again, I don't like being deceived by others... From now on, I don't want to have any relationship with you this liar, scumbag. Please move out of my house immediately after you go back."

Although I didn't expect Mi Cai's reaction to be so intense, I still grabbed her and didn't let her leave. In the tug of war between the two, a figure stood opposite us.

My hand was still tightly holding Mi Cai's arm, and at the same time, I looked up at the person opposite us, my heart beating violently... Standing opposite Mi Cai and me was Jian Wei!

At this moment three years later, we finally stood face to face.
