Penelope bit her lip and looked at me, as if she could no longer communicate with me in words. After a long time, she said to me with a sullen face: "Why are there such unqualified people as you in the world?"
I let go of Penelope and said disapprovingly: "Can't you look at the problem from both sides? My use of your toiletries to look at it from the other side also shows that I am informal."
"Did you get my consent when you used it?"
"So I say that I don't stick to trivial matters. Is such a trivial matter worth asking for your advice in a big way?"
"But I used the toothbrush you used without knowing it,"Penelope said with a disgusted expression again.
"I've already used it. Is it possible that I can go find the Moonlight Treasure Box to turn back time and remind you not to use it? This is so unrealistic, so you should take this matter lightly. You have to understand that there is nothing in this world. You It’s fake, I’m fake too, and of course the toothbrush is fake too.”
Penelope finally calmed down a little and said, "God knows if you have any infectious diseases."
"You deserve your misfortune if you have an infectious disease. How small is the chance of us meeting each other in this huge crowd of people? Do you think the chance of me using your toothbrush and other toiletries again after we meet is even smaller?"
Penelope, who had just calmed down a little, said angrily: "According to your logic, no matter what happens in the future, it will be my fault and I deserve to be unlucky."
"You can say that." After saying that, he looked at Penelope and smiled and said, "You still understand me quite well. You know my thoughts without guessing."
Penelope laughed angrily: "This is what all bastards have in mind. No one needs to guess to see through the ugly faces of people like you."
"You used foul language again. Even if I am a bastard, a beautiful woman like you should not say it. What a bad image."
"Maxwell, do you have to make me angry to death today?"
"If you are afraid of being angry to death, then go away and leave this house to me. Everyone will be comfortable and quiet."
Penelope suddenly calmed down and said in a calm tone: "You have a beautiful idea, but I will not fulfill your wish for you, a scumbag."
"Anyway, I'm not leaving tonight. If you don't mind it, then I definitely won't mind it if we have the chance to live together again."
Penelope surprisingly didn't refute, turned back to the bathroom and closed the door hard, not knowing what she was doing inside.
I sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. I watched absentmindedly, but from time to time I looked into the bathroom. I always felt that there was a conspiracy. Suddenly I remembered the last time she deceived me into the wilderness late at night, and I felt scared for a while.
"How can a person as smart as me suffer losses twice from the same person? Obviously not?" I comforted myself in my heart, and I suddenly felt relieved.
After feeling relieved, my mood inexplicably improved, so I went to the convenience store downstairs to buy toiletries while Penelope was in the bathroom. Of course, I went out with the key in case Penelope took the opportunity to lock me out.
I felt a little guilty, so in the midst of my heartache, I bought Penelope the most expensive toiletries in the convenience store, and I bought some random ones for myself. I'm not a particular person anyway.
I took a walk outside the community for a while, smoked a few more cigarettes, and then returned to my apartment after getting rid of the depression in my heart. Penelope happened to come out of the bathroom, her hair was wet, as if she had just taken a shower.
I asked in confusion: "Didn't you throw away all the toiletries? Why did you wash them again?"
"Don't I have a spare?"
I suddenly lost my composure: "If you hadn't told me earlier, I just went to the convenience store to buy a set for you. It cost more than 50 yuan."
"Really?"Penelope wiped her wet hair with a brand new towel and said in a calm tone, as if there was no unpleasantness that just happened at all.
"Look, look." I said and showed the bag to her.
"Then you can put it in the bathroom cabinet for later use."Penelope remained calm.
I nodded and walked to the bathroom. It was full of steam and the smell of body wash. I looked around cautiously, fearing that Penelope would do something bad to me. From what I knew about her, the calmer she was, the more likely she would be to me. Go to death.
Except for Penelope's clothes, there was almost nothing in the bathroom. After making sure it was safe, I opened the cabinet under the sink. As expected, there were a lot of spare toiletries in it. If I had known better, I wouldn't have used the ones she used. After all, I really He is not a person who takes bickering and quarreling as fun.
Then I washed up in the bathroom. After finishing my work, I wiped my wet hair with a dry towel and walked out of the bathroom just like Penelope did.
To my surprise, Penelope did not rest, but sat on the sofa in the living room, eating cherries and reading documents.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" I asked Penelope.
"Wait until your hair is dry."
I sat down next to Penelope, picked up the cherries and ate them without any courtesy, and then asked, "Do you like cherries very much?"
Penelope said to me patiently: "Well, I liked eating it when I was very young."
I looked at Penelope, and I always felt something was wrong. Considering my recent bad behavior, she was already very considerate by just answering "hmm", and even told me that she liked to eat it when I was very young.
I emboldened myself again: What can she do to me if I'm a man? Just stay here calmly, there's no need to think too suspiciously.
In boredom, I looked at the document that Penelope held in his hand, and sure enough I saw the logo of Zhuomei Shopping Center on the document. It was absolutely true that Penelope was the CEO of Zhuomei Shopping Center.
I pushed Penelope, who was watching in rapt attention, and asked, "Hey, do you know what I do for a living?"
"Who wants to care about you?"Penelope responded impatiently this time.
I smiled coquettishly, but felt more relaxed. She should treat me with such an impatient attitude. It was not surprising that Penelope knew nothing about my work situation, although I believe Zhuomei also has our Baoli. Personnel files, but Penelope would definitely not look at them. Even if she looked at them, she would only see that Baoli’s senior management would not look at a small person like me, so she had no idea that I worked in Baoli’s planning department.
Of course I will not take the initiative to tell Penelope that I am working at Baoli. This is entirely due to my pride. I am not willing to be so much lower than her. At least in this room, she and I are equal and not unequal. I am better than her in this house. This is definitely not my nonsense. It is supported by logic. She is afraid of cockroaches, and cockroaches are afraid of me. I am two levels better than her.
In my own imagination, I became even more proud. I raised my hand and threw two more cherries into my mouth, and hummed Faye Wong's "The New Tenant" in front of Penelope.
Penelope was annoyed, but she didn't want to argue with me anymore. She slapped the document on the table, got up and left the sofa.
"What are you doing?" I asked shamelessly.
"Washing clothes." Mi Cai replied without turning her head.
"Then why don't you drive me away tonight?"
"You can stay here as long as you like."Penelope said bitterly.
"Will you live with me too?"
"Of course I'll stay with you."
Penelope's answer made me very proud. A woman was so easily taken care of by me. I was already fantasizing about moving my luggage back tomorrow night. In this city, this old house is the place I dream of. .
The new tenant who continued to hum and upset Penelope glanced at the document left by Penelope, and his heart suddenly beat loudly. This document was the November business plan of Zhuomei Shopping Center. It definitely contains the strategic suppression of our Polaroids and the plans for the upcoming promotional activities.
If I read this plan, Zhuomei’s strategic intentions will be clear, which will be extremely beneficial for us to counter Zhuomei’s marketing plan in the future.
I was confused for a moment whether to watch or not to watch.
There will be three updates today. There will be one more before 12 o'clock. :
