My 26-year-old Female Tenant

  I tried my best to swim towards the guitar that was about to sink, but the guitar drifted farther and farther along with the flow of the water waves.

The thick clothes in winter have been completely soaked in water, which caused me a great burden. Coupled with the stimulation of the cold lake water, I felt that my physical strength was getting weaker and weaker, so that I choked several times in a row. But there is always a kind of hidden power supporting me, making me linger on to pursue that guitar.

Jian Wei's vague voice came from the shore, but I couldn't hear it clearly in the sound of the wind and waves. I used up my last strength to hold on to the guitar that was about to sink. I was in ecstasy, and suddenly let out I choked on several sips of water again, and at this moment I finally felt afraid, and then I had a strong desire to survive.

  I swam to the shore with the last of my strength, but my calf was convulsed by the extreme cold. I was anxious and panicked. For the first time, I felt that death was so close to me.

  At this time, Jian Wei on the bank suddenly took off her coat and sweater, and jumped into the river wearing only a thin bottoming shirt. She swam towards me with all her strength...

   "Zhaoyang, you persevere, you must persevere!"

The strong desire to survive made me kick my legs and beat the water with my hands to prevent myself from sinking, and Jian Wei finally swam to my side, she got into my armpit to hold me, and then the two of them started to fight together. Swim to the river bank.

  …

The cold wind blew by, and Jian Wei and I fell to the ground exhausted and coughed violently, dripping water on the ground continuously, and the guitar was the same, the water formed a line and dripped down along the strings , and then the three traces of water converged together, as if they flowed back into the river with the innumerable past between us.

Jian Wei's lips were pale, and her whole body was trembling. With the last of my strength, I crawled to the place where the down jacket was placed, then folded back and put the clothes on her body, then took out the mobile phone from the pocket of the down jacket, and prepared to call the emergency number. Because she was afraid that Jian Wei would not be able to resist the invasion of damp and cold.

  Jian Wei snatched the phone from me and shook her head at me, choked up and asked: "Why did you do this?...Why did you desperately get this guitar back?"

"I'm now...frightened and regretful...but I didn't have time to think too much about it, because watching the guitar sink in the river, as if I was going to be buried deep in the river, it was a purely instinctive reaction... had to go Do!"

Jian Wei looked at me with a complex expression. I couldn't tell whether it was tears or river water falling from her face at this moment, but the twitching at the corner of her mouth was real. She hesitated to speak several times, but she still didn't say anything Export.

I was so cold that I was about to collapse, Jian Wei put the down jacket back on me, then took back her sweater and coat that were not wet from the grass, and took off the bottoming shirt that was soaked by the river in front of me, Change into dry sweaters and coats.

  She looked at the guitar that was still dripping and asked me: "Zhaoyang, is this...guitar still useful?"

  I shook my head and said, "It's basically scrapped... Just scrap it if it's scrapped."

   Jian Wei stared at the guitar in a daze for a long time without saying a word.

  I picked up the guitar from the ground and said to Jian Wei, "If you must completely scrap this guitar, find a time when I am not around. After all, I have been with me for so many years..."

   Jian Wei took the guitar from me, lowered her head in front of me for the first time, and whispered to me: "I understand what you mean...I'll take you back."

"Need not."

   "It's hard to get a taxi here. If you stay like this, you will definitely catch a cold."

  I looked up at the road where few cars passed by, and finally nodded.

  …

Jian Wei adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner in the car to a very high level, but the two of us still shivered from the cold, especially me who stayed in the river for a longer time, but it is still fortunate that at least two lives were saved, because In that extremely dangerous situation, I had no doubt that myself and Jian Wei would both sink in the bottomless moat due to exhaustion.

The car driving all the way quickly arrived at the community where I lived. Just as Jian Wei was about to drive the car into the community, I suddenly saw Mi Cai's q7 turning into the community before us, and immediately let Jian Wei stopped the car by the side of the road.

  When we got off the car, Jian Wei said to me: "Zhaoyang, go back and change clothes quickly, don't catch a cold!"

"Ah, you too."

   Jian Wei nodded, and after I closed the car door for her, she started the car and left.

  I walked into the community and sat in a small deserted garden. Even though my teeth were chattering from the cold, I didn't want to go back to the house, because I didn't know how to explain the water stains all over my body to Mi Cai.

  The phone rang again, and I didn't need to look to know it was from Mi Cai. When the ringing was about to end, I answered the phone, but I didn't speak first, for fear that my vibrato would reveal my secrets.

   "Zhaoyang, where are you?"

  My thoughts changed sharply, and I said to Mi Cai: "Drinking at...Fang Yuan's house!"

"yes?"

   "Well... I won't talk to you first."

   "Zhaoyang..."

  I heard something wrong in Mi Cai's tone, and asked with some anxiety: "What's the matter, is there anything else?"

   "Where the **** are you now, can you tell me the truth?"

  Holding the last luck, I replied: "Didn't you say you were at Fang Yuan's house?"

   "...Did you forget that all the middle and high-level executives of Zhuomei went to my uncle's birthday dinner today?...I left early, where do you think Fang Yuan is now?"

  I was dumbfounded for a moment, secretly thinking that I was careless, and finally said to Mi Cai: "...in the community, I'll go up."

  Mi Cai hung up the phone.

  …

  I walked towards the entrance of the corridor anxiously, only to find that Mi Cai had already gone downstairs. She was standing at the entrance of the corridor waiting for me, so I bravely walked towards her.

  She looked at me in surprise and asked, "Zhaoyang, what's wrong with you?"

  I still held back my smile and said, "I was accidentally sprayed by a sprinkler on the road, what a pity!"

  Mi Cai’s face finally revealed the mistrust she once had. She frowned and said to me, “Does there have to be deception between us?”

  I gritted my teeth and put on a posture of resolutely not speaking even if I let her slaughter me, but I was shivering from the cold.

  Mi Cai sighed: "Hurry up and go back and change your clothes!"

  I nodded, and although I desperately wanted to change my clothes, I still walked behind Mi Cai.

  As soon as I entered the room, I ran into the bathroom, took off all my wet clothes, and went back to my room in a bathrobe. After changing into underwear, I turned on the air conditioner and wrapped myself in the quilt, but I was still shivering.

  Mi Cai walked into my room, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to me. Although she was in a bad mood, she still said with concern: "I'll take you to the hospital."

   "Don't be so troublesome, I'll get over it later."

  Mi Cai stared at me, and asked for a long time: "Tell me, are you getting overwhelmed and throwing yourself into the river?"

  As soon as I said this, I spit out the hot water that I hadn't had time to drink, and after choking for a long time, I looked at her in disbelief and said, "Should I throw myself into the river?"

  Mi Cai nodded: "As for, you have previous convictions!"

  I suddenly remembered that I called Mi Cai a long time ago to stop me from jumping into the river. She was right, I really had a criminal record.

  In this way, I am really fragile!
