It was almost 2 o'clock when I got back to my original residence. I paid the car payment and walked towards my building. I couldn't say I was in a hurry. It was the weekend anyway, so I would be late, but I still had a headache and owed it to her. 4,016 yuan. Even if you sell me now, you won’t be able to get that much money.
When I came downstairs to the building where I lived, I was dumbfounded, and my lungs hurt from anger. My luggage was actually moved into the corridor. Some of the luggage that couldn't be accommodated in the corridor had been soaked by the rain, including a pair of shoes from a long time ago. The black leather shoes given to me by Emily.
I threw away my umbrella, took out the key from my pocket and ran upstairs.
The key unlocked the door, and he kicked the door open. He stood in the living room and cursed angrily: "You bastard, get out of here."
After scolding three times but no one responded, I kicked open the door of the room she lived in. No one was in the room.
Looking at the spotless room that had been tidied up, and thinking of my luggage that was soaked in the rain outside, the fire in my heart burned even more intensely. I raised my hand and threw the quilt on her bed to the ground. Even Simmons was upset and overturned. Pillows and blankets were spread out on the floor.
After becoming hysterical, I stood in Penelope's room and lit a cigarette to relieve my anger.
Penelope stood outside the door at some point, holding a mop and a convenience bag with a lot of daily necessities in her hands. She should have gone to the supermarket just now.
She glared at me, and I grabbed the clothes on her chest and pulled her into the room. The force was so strong that she dropped the bag and mop in her hand, and the things were scattered all over the floor. The room that was spotless just now was instantly affected by my anger. a mess.
I dragged her to the window, opened the window and let her look at the luggage soaked in the rain and cursed: "You are sick, why did you throw my luggage in the rain?"
Penelope broke away from me and said coldly: "You didn't come at all, so I asked someone to help you move out. Is there any problem?"
"I was delayed by other things, why did I come a little late?"
"Whatever time you promised will be what time it is."Penelope said without giving in, her eyes full of determination.
"You are unreasonable." I became even more angry and raised my hand to slap her.
I thought she would instinctively make a move to get out of the way, or close her eyes, but I didn't expect that she still looked at me coldly, without even blinking.
I put down my raised hand, squinted my eyes and said to her, "Bring the things up as they are, and I'll pretend this didn't happen."
"I'm not going." There were tears in Mi Caimei's eyes, but she told me firmly.
I nodded: "You're not going, right?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I threw all the quilts and blankets on the floor out of the window with the pleasure of venting and revenge.
In the wind and rain, the fallen quilts and blankets looked so fluttering and innocent, and like deep and shallow scars that had been ruthlessly uncovered. I felt a little distracted and regretful. I shouldn't be so impulsive, I shouldn't be like this. Facing this stubborn woman in front of me, maybe it was the pair of black leather shoes that fell in the rain that stimulated me. My heart twitched. In the afterimage of the black leather shoes that fell in the rain, I seemed to see myself and Emily dead. love.
The quilt and blanket finally fell to the ground in an alternation of up and down. I said to Penelope with some guilt: "Now we are even."
After I finished speaking, tears fell from Penelope fair face. She bit her lip and looked at me.
Looking at the devastated house, a sense of guilt suddenly filled my heart, but I still stared at Penelope and said: "I know you are unhappy with me and look down on me. Yes, I am poor and have no future, but this is definitely not something you can do. The reason for not respecting me and my luggage. You are a woman. Today I will show you the gentlemanly manners and throw away your quilt and blanket. Next time I will throw you down too."
After saying that, I took out the bank card she gave me yesterday from my wallet, put it on the table and said: "I have withdrawn a total of 4,016 yuan from the card. Now I have no money to pay you back, but I will definitely find a way as soon as possible." Give it back to you.”
Tears welled up in Penelope's eyes: "Assholes, all of you are bastards who don't keep your promises."
I looked at her in surprise and couldn't tell what I felt. After a while, I said, "I'm leaving, and the money I owe you will definitely be paid back to you. Although I'm a little late in honoring my promise, it's not as unfulfilled as you think." promise."
Penelope didn't respond to me and still looked at me resentfully.
I left. I didn't know if Penelope was still crying, but I knew it must be uncomfortable to stay in the messy room I made.
But just as she scolded me before, I am indeed a scumbag, and I am also the beast in Maya's mouth. I am unwilling to control my emotions like a beast, and act casually like a scumbag.
I caught a taxi and moved my luggage to a roadside pavilion that could provide shelter from the rain. I didn't know where to stay for a while. I didn't have enough money left to rent a house, and staying in a hotel was not a long-term solution. And Wesley I was willing to borrow money from, was very angry with me because of my disobedience yesterday and refused to contact me for the time being.
Yes, over the years I have only borrowed money from Wesley. I regard him as a close friend and never mind showing my embarrassment and downfall in front of him, but I would not do that to others.
I seem to have been abandoned by this world suddenly
I lit a cigarette, sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and looked a little lost in the traffic.
My life shouldn't be like this, but in the past two years, I have lived as lonely and helpless as those silent buildings in this city. All of this comes from that woman. I know that I will never be able to I had another chance to hold her hand, but I was still stubborn and couldn't do it without her tenderness.
The wind made me a little cold, so I found a scarf from my woven bag and tied it on myself, finally blocking the cold wind that kept pouring into my chest.
For the next hour, I sat in the pavilion and repeated these two trivial things: daze and smoking. It was not until the sky got dark that I really felt eager to be saved.
The sudden ringing of the phone startled me. I wiped my face and took out the phone from my pocket. This call was from Father Ban.
The Father Ban is my dad. He is old-fashioned and dull. He has worked in the purchasing department of a small and medium-sized state-owned enterprise for 15 years. In the first year he was hired, he was the deputy section chief. After 15 years, he is so shocked that he has not been able to do that. The subtitles are removed. This is nothing. What’s even more awesome is: the Purchasing Department is obviously a department that can make money and get kickbacks. I haven’t seen him receive a gift or a penny in kickbacks in 15 years. This His iron-clad ethics made his colleagues respectfully call him Ban Ke in private, and he finally got rid of the title of Deputy Section. So when I was 17 years old, I changed my name to him as Father Ban, but he always mistook me for it. What he shouted was "my father".
After I answered the phone, I heard Father Ban' dull voice without a trace of emotion. He said to me: "Maxwell, I'm going to Suzhou soon. I have an exhibition to attend tomorrow morning. I'll stay at your place tonight."
I suddenly felt miserable. I really got into trouble this weekend. I was afraid that something would happen. Even if I beat myself to death, I wouldn’t let Father Ban know that I was penniless and homeless. Although he was old-fashioned, it didn’t mean he had no temper.
My thoughts turned quickly: "Father Ban, can you find a hotel near the station to stay? I will have dinner with my colleagues tonight, and the time will definitely not be short."
"You can eat your food. Don't you put the keys under the door frame? I can get in."
"There have been a lot of thieves recently, so I haven't let them go."
The Father Ban said reluctantly: "Then I'll wait for you. Don't play crazy after dinner and come back early."
"Father Ban, look, you've been on the bus for a long time. You're probably very tired. You can find a hotel nearby. You can't bear to take a taxi when you come to my place. It's the rush hour after work. Your arms and legs are so weak on the bus. No need to be crowded”
I tried to shirk Father Ban in every possible way and was not in a hurry, so I finally said: "Your mother knitted a sweater for you and I will send it to you."
Listening to the "beep" hang-up sound, I was stunned for a moment. After a moment of reaction, I immediately put my luggage bag on my shoulders and ran towards the roadside with the suitcase in my hand. I looked around and waited for the taxi. This night I still She has to live back in the house that now belongs to Penelope.
Regardless of whether she wants it or not, I still have to live there. If Father Ban knows about my current situation, he will be furious.
