My 26-year-old Female Tenant - v2 Chapter 10

I don’t know why, at this moment, I have begun to miss the time with her, even the weather that changes every day, I look at her desperately, I know, maybe she will leave tomorrow, otherwise she won’t talk about it Say goodbye tonight on Mochou Road.

I can’t help thinking about what happened between Mi Cai and I over the past year. I remember quarrels, reconciliation, quarrels, and reconciliation. Putting aside all the incidents that happened here, this seems to be a relationship between lovers. The normal state, and back and forth has become the feelings between us, so I can afford to wait for her to go to the United States, no matter how long it takes.

I remembered that there was still an unfinished wedding between us… I saw the fruits of our hard work, and saw the fruits come to naught. I was about to be lonely, but loneliness no longer aroused my fragility He was very sensitive and didn’t want to make this farewell sad, so he finally smiled and said to Mi Cai: “Let’s go, let’s go for a walk on Mochou Road.”

   “Before you go, let’s go to that square again.”

   “Well, there is still time.”

We continued to walk to the north of the city, and the moat had bypassed the road we were going to go to the northwest, so without the moisture of the river, the road was a bit dry, a road under repair, under the rollers of the road roller Dust was raised and fell on the sycamore trees on both sides, and the grocery store under the tree had a somewhat stale smell.

  I went to the grocery store to buy a pack of cigarettes. The boss was wearing a sweater. He was chatting with the owner of the paint shop next door about human relationships and about his house that was about to be demolished…

   I can’t remember how long we walked, but we finally came to the square surrounded by lights. Today, there were more children playing here than usual, and I remembered that this was another weekend that made most people feel good.

Mi Cai and I stood on the edge of the square, watching silently. We saw Wei Xiao and the girl. They seemed to have designed a plot with another group of children, playing role-playing racing games, because they had the oil that stood out from the crowd. Power racing, Wei Xiao is still the king of this group of children, enjoying the pleasure of playing the leading role… Sometimes he gives orders, sometimes laughs, he seems to have found his own way of growth unconsciously, he already has The embryonic form of the leader.

   Where’s the girl? She still has the withdrawnness she had when she came out of the small mountain village. When Wei Xiao was having fun, she was sitting by the fountain alone, talking to the teacup dog that Le Yao gave Wei Xiao some words that others could not understand , so this small square also presents extremes of movement and stillness.

  None of us walked to the center of the square, because we, with adult troubles, were so disharmonious with those innocent children. We might as well stand on the edge and miss everything that happened in the past in the smiling faces of children.

After a while, we came peacefully and left peacefully…Those profound pictures that once happened here may turn into sunshine tomorrow morning, pushing the world into the night together with time, waiting for the dawn again… …

  …

More than an hour later, we took the inter-city high-speed train to the city of Nanjing. It is different from Suzhou. I heard people here would call the girl “Panxi”. Panxi here walks very fast. So their boyfriends are very good at chasing, so the streets are full of couples in a hurry. They make Mi Cai, a girl from Suzhou, very special. She just followed my footsteps, walked through the subway station, walked through Xuanwu Lake……

There are some old snack bars on both sides of Mochou Road, because it’s past the meal time, the bosses who have nothing to do sit in the shop to play cards, or feed the cats and dogs who have been hungry for a long time. The young customer looked in the mirror without saying a word. Maybe he was a businessman and was calculating today’s profit and loss in his mind.

Going 200 meters further, there is a beggar dozing off under the street lamp. Maybe there are encounters and partings in his dreams, but to him, this is not important, because all the encounters and partings are only for a moment. No one remembers his face, passers-by leave him with a blank stare, or maybe a few cents.

On the opposite side of the street lamp, I saw a beautiful Nanjing Panxi. She held a roasted sweet potato in one hand, and put down the shutter door of the nail salon with the other. Her boyfriend straddled the motorcycle and asked loudly, which bar to go to for fun… …A Mercedes-Benz at the back bypassed the motorcycle blocking the road, left behind a sound of its horn, then stepped up the accelerator and roared away…

I stopped in my tracks, unwilling to see the end of Mochou Road, what other encounters and partings, I took Mi Cai’s hand, and whispered in my mouth, I understand that at this moment, there are still people around me. Such a perfect girlfriend, the next moment, will usher in an indefinite parting on this Mochou road.

We sat on the bench by the roadside, I looked down at the pair of pure white shoes on Mi Cai’s feet, and said with some melancholy: “This road of Mochou is not as the name suggests, there are still some people Will be sad on this road!”

Mi Cai looked towards the end of the road, and said softly: “For people on this road, eating, sleeping, and waking up is one year…it seems like a long time, It’s actually not scary!”

I knew this was Mi Cai’s comfort before parting, I nodded and replied: “I understand what you mean, neither time nor distance is our enemy, because in our experience, there is the city in the sky, the city in Suzhou, A square suitable for playing around, and the Mochou Road in front of us, these are our guides and beliefs…I will wait for you to come back!”

  Mi Cai smiled and asked me: “Will you wait for me to come back while buying lottery tickets?”

“You still have the mind to tease my past!” I replied helplessly and frustrated. A few years ago, I really pinned my hope of getting rich on the lottery, waiting for Jian Wei who is far away in the United States to come back. In this old incident, I didn’t even find that the history was so strikingly similar.

  That time, when Jian Wei left, what she left for me was “Waiting” written on the car window. This time, what Mi Cai left for me was the “Mochou Road” in front of me. What about the ending? Is it the same goal by different routes, or a powerful subversion?

Mi Cai held my face in both hands, stroked my hair, and said softly: “Zhaoyang, grow up…grow up quickly, my biggest wish in this life is to wait for the day I come back, You will be a good man who understands life and has a sense of responsibility, and kindness is not the only criterion for testing growth, you still have a lot to do, a lot…”

  I was not in a hurry to promise, I just remembered some of the past, and then smiled at my absurdity… Remember, I was twenty-four or five years old at the time!

  I finally said to her: “I won’t buy lottery tickets anymore. When you come back, I will give you the most special gift.”

   This was the first time I saw Mi Cai with such a curious expression, she asked expectantly, “What gift will you give me?”

   “A gift that takes time to accumulate.”

   “Well, I know that if I’m asked, it loses its original meaning. I’d better choose to wait patiently…”

   “Well, you won’t be disappointed!…” I paused for a moment, and asked again: “Can you talk to me about what you will do when you go to America?”

   “Focus on every bit of your domestic achievements.”

   “You mean, we can still get in touch?”

Mi Cai shook her head and replied: “Keeping in touch is not a wise choice, it will make us emotional and impulsive, we all have to believe that distance is an examination paper, and we are not completely unconnected, I believe in that The power of the city, it separates us on the surface, but connects us in the heart… Besides, in Yan Zhuomei’s eyes, we should draw a clear line between us, so besides paying attention to your achievements, I also I have to play a game with Yan Zhuomei to let her accept my life concept and life values! I have too many things to do!”

   “I understand what you mean! I also sincerely hope that you and Aunt Yan can settle down.”

  Mi Cai nods…

I finally put my arms around her and smiled, and said: “In order to let you pay attention to my news, I must try my best to go to financial magazines a few times. After all, you don’t have such a strong idea. Besides, see what I’m up to.”

  Mi Cai smiled, and leaned on my shoulder, and then the world became silent, and even heard the sound of the wind, blowing the comforting whispers of the city.

   “Yang, I left you, will you resist loneliness and temptation, and wait quietly in the country?”

   “I can… Arrive in the United States, you get along with Wei Ran every day, will you still remember that Zhaoyang who played the guitar, sometimes decadent, sometimes crazy?”

   “Me too… Every morning and night, I will reminisce about the time we spent together!”

My face was close to hers, and I stroked her hair over and over again. I know that the moment of our parting is getting closer and closer… I miss her so much Said to her: “Dance for me on this Mochou road… I know you dance very well, I secretly saw those photos you took when you were studying in the United States!”

In the sadness of parting, Mi Cai didn’t bother to blame me for my sneaky behavior. She fell on my shoulder and wept. She was as afraid of this endless parting as I was… At this moment, because of the same Each thing is painful…

Mi Cai finally left my body. She stood under a street lamp and fulfilled my last request. Fortunately, she is wearing a pair of pure white running shoes, and her movements are stretched and graceful; unfortunately, I don’t have a guitar to play the most beautiful dance music for her…

Mochou Road is still the same Mochou Road, but her dancing posture has deeply burned the memory of this road in the deepest part of my soul… not only me, but also many passers-by. Thinking of her at this moment as Pansy in Nanjing, she stopped and did not hesitate to praise her…

yes! I wish she was Panxi in Nanjing, walking on this road of Mochou every day, without being so far away from me, I could bring some pastries in the morning or evening, hold her hand, eat while walking, don’t remember what is worry…

  …

  At the end of the road, we let go of our holding hands, and she said, “My next stop is Shanghai, how about you?”

   “Back to Suzhou… you go first! I’ll be the last!”

  She nodded and walked out of this road of Mochou… I closed my eyes, trying to remember the taste of this road and the appearance of her walking on this road! …… In my heart, in the future, she will always stay in the depths of my soul, whispering, caring!

   “Zhaoyang…”

  I opened my eyes, she was already standing beside the taxi, holding the wedding ring that hadn’t been put on for me in her hand, she asked, “Where’s my one?”

I frantically took it out of my pocket and showed it to her. She nodded and didn’t say anything. I got into the taxi that couldn’t wait to leave, and I stared…until she Stay away from Mochou Road!

  My mobile phone was vibrating in my pocket, and I hurriedly took it out. There were only four words in the message she gave me… Mochou, Mochou!

  I lowered my head, sat at the end of Mochou Road, and looked up at the road we walked when we came! …….It turned out that the separation was really in an instant!
