My 26-year-old Female Tenant

Chapter 254: :uninvited guest

  It wasn’t until Mi Cai stopped crying that I let her go, wiped the tears off her face with my hands, and said softly to her, “Sleep, I’ll sit here with you and wait for you to fall asleep.”

Mi Cai nodded, I helped her flatten the pillow, helped her lie down, stroked her hair, and signaled her to rest quickly, she closed her eyes obediently, but said to me: "Zhaoyang, you Can you sing to me?"

   "Want to hear what?"

   "Faye Wong's "Reserved"."

  I smiled: "This song is about a reserved woman, not a reserved man. You should sing it to me."

   "The woman in the song is no longer reserved."

  I recalled the lyrics, it seemed that the song was about a reserved woman becoming less reserved for a man she loved deeply, not only because she was afraid of being lonely, but also because she had a heart that loved to the end.

  I finally suggested to Mi Cai: "Why don't we sing together, each one a section."

Mi Cai nodded and sang before me: "I have never resisted your charm, although you have never been fascinated by me, I always look at you with a smile, my eyes are always full of affection, I used to think In the lonely night, you finally cared about being in my room, you closed your eyes and kissed me, and hugged me tightly in your arms without saying a word, I love you, I love you to the end, the first time in my life This time I let go of my reserve and let myself fantasize about me and you, you love me, you love me to the end, for the first time in my life I let go of my reserve, believing that I can really love you deeply..."

  When it was my turn to sing, I replaced all of me in the lyrics with you, and you with me, until I finished singing with peace of mind.

  Mi Cai looked at me, and said to me with some resentment: "Why are you so bad? You changed the good lyrics beyond recognition!"

   "But the artistic conception hasn't changed. Only by singing like this can I keep your leading role in this song!"

   "You really have a good intention!"

  I smiled and nodded.

  Mi Cai's tone became disappointed: "I'm afraid you are laughing at me for not being reserved enough? I always try my best to find you, but you are not very willing to see me."

   "How could it be!...Actually, what I'm afraid of seeing is not you, but the gap between us, which makes people vulnerable."

   "Zhaoyang, I will wait for you, so that we will not be bound by the gap between us...you have to work hard!"

  I nodded, and looked out the window again. The night was as dark as ink, but in that distant place, there seemed to be a star that pointed the way.

  …

  Leaving Mi Cai's room, I went to check today's accounts, and then started the promotional strategy of "Perfect Travel Plan" in front of the computer. By the time I recovered, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night.

  I rubbed my temples to relieve fatigue, but this fatigue is only physical, but my heart full of longing is not tired.

  Lighted a cigarette, took a puff, and then exhaled heavily. I knew that one day Mi Cai and I would face this gap directly, and the results would be nothing more than three.

First, the gap between me and her still exists, and the pain derived from the gap is still tearing up the fragile love day after day, year after year; second, she has nothing materially, and the gap finally disappears. But can she adapt to this life from luxury to frugality? Three, after working hard, I can finally stand shoulder to shoulder with her in the business world.

   I would definitely prefer the third outcome, since it seems to be the best and most conducive to happiness.

  Perhaps, there is a fourth result: we are strangers, and finally only remember in the dead of night that we once loved each other, but the person sleeping next to us is no longer the other.

  …

  The next day, I got up a little late, and the moment I opened the door, I found Mi Cai wearing our inn work clothes and carrying two bottles of hot water walking towards the guest's room.

   After politely knocking on the door, two bottles of water were brought into the room.

  After she came out, I stopped her and asked, "What are you doing?"

   "Helping hot water for residents."

   "I mean, why don't you get some more sleep?"

   "I went to bed very early last night... Don't get in my way, there is still a room to tidy up!"

   "Don't you like to run in the morning, I'll clean up the room, you go for a run."

But Mi Cai urged me instead: "It's true that you wash up quickly, the breakfast I bought is getting cold." After speaking, she didn't give me a chance to stop me, and pushed a cleaning cart from the corner to the place. Go to another room.

  I stared at her back for a while...

   Come to think of it, the proprietress of "Jiangnan Xiaozhu" is nothing compared to her now.

  …

  After washing up, I ate the breakfast that Mi Cai bought for me, and chatted with the boy who had been waiting at the front desk to receive customers.

  The tone of the boy was as envious as ever: "Brother Yang, you really found a proprietress for our inn... This is the most beautiful proprietress in all Xitang, no, she is the most beautiful proprietress in all the scenic inns in the country."

   "She won't be here long."

   "Then is she the proprietress of the inn?"

  I asked back: "What do you think?"

   "Of course, if it wasn't for the proprietress, how could she clean the room and bring hot water to the residents!"

  I didn’t say anything more, but I cherished such a day, because it was too short, so short that I didn’t have time to get used to it.

  Mi Cai finally finished cleaning the room, she sat down beside me as if relieved.

  I brought a fried bun to her mouth: "Try it, it's pretty good."

   Mi Cai took a small bite, and I handed her another cup of soy milk.

  The boy next to him shouted: "You two, can you take into account the feelings of me, a lonely family, when showing affection!"

  Mi Cai and I looked at each other and smiled, still ignoring his feelings, we each took a sip of a cup of soy milk, which made him collapse.

   Before he had time to finish his breakfast, there was a roar of a sports car engine outside the door, and then he saw a Ferrari 458 and an Audi r8.

  The sudden appearance of these two cars made me feel irritable immediately, because I knew too well who the owner was.

   Sure enough, Wei Ran and Mi Lan got out of the two cars one after another.

   Mi Cai looked at me, I tried my best to calm myself down, and then signaled to her that I was fine.

Wei Ran and Mi Lan walked into the inn side by side, first Mi Lan said: "Sister, why didn't you call me when you came back from the United States, if the people from the United States told me, I wouldn't even know you came back Already!"

  Mi Cai replied simply: "Just stay for a few days."

   Wei Ran looked at me, took the conversation, and said to Mi Cai: "Come back to see him?"

  Mi Cai seemed to be very considerate of my mood, got up and said to the two of them: "Find a place to drink something, let's chat."

  Mi Lan and Wei Ran nodded at the same time, and when they were about to leave, Mi Lan asked me with disdain: "You run this inn?"

   "I drove it."

   "Really promising!"

  Mi Cai frowned and reprimanded: "Mi Lan, you are enough!"

  Mi Lan confronted Mi Cai **** for tat without any fear, and said, "I just don't like him, what's so good about such rubbish?"

I was on the verge of getting angry again, but I tried my best to control myself, just smiled and said: "I also think you are a cheap woman, but I will not write a sign on the door saying that Mi Lan and dogs are not allowed, That's why you now have the opportunity to yell at me so unscrupulously."

  Mi Lan was about to explode, Mi Cai held her back, and motioned to Wei Ran to help, Wei Ran also held her from the other side.

  Mi Lan broke free from Mi Cai and Wei Ran, and nodded at me full of resentment: "I hope you won't regret what you said and did today." After speaking, she turned and walked to the door of the inn.
