The three of us were walking on the road.
I looked at Yang Xue and asked, "Where do you live?"
Yang Xue looked at me, then pointed in a direction and said, "It's a bit far. It's late at night. A warm-hearted person like you can't let me walk back alone. My previous colleague lived in the same building as me, but now she has resigned, so I'm a little hesitant to go alone."
"Well, I just left at three o'clock, so you still have to go back alone."
She leaned forward slightly and stared at me: "You didn't leave, right? If you left, I would have to take a taxi."
“It’s hard to get a taxi at four o’clock.”
"You can always get a ticket if you pay a little more."
Zhu Wei stood aside, his arms folded, not knowing what he was thinking, and not saying a word.
After about ten minutes, we arrived at her building, which was an apartment building with about five or six floors.
Yang Xue looked at me and asked, "Are you hungry?"
I felt my stomach and there was indeed some.
"A little bit. There's no place to eat open at this time."
Yang Xue smiled and said, "Then come to my place and I'll make you a bowl of noodles. I'm hungry too, so I'll just consider it as a way to repay you for your help tonight."
I looked at Zhu Wei, wanting to ask him what he meant, but Zhu Wei glanced elsewhere and whistled, as if to say that he didn't care and I shouldn't ask him.
Yang Xue teased, provoking him: "Are you afraid of a trap? You two grown men, I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
When I heard that, I immediately responded, "What? Let's go."
Then Yang Xue led the way. She lived on the third floor. We came to her room, which was really small. There was a toilet with a range hood and induction cooker at the door of the toilet. There was also a place at the entrance. Although small, it had everything.
She pointed to her bed and said, "Just sit down for a while, it will be fine in a moment."
Zhu Wei and I nodded, then sat on her bed and looked around. The whole room was pink. Although the room was not big, it looked more cozy. The refrigerator and items were all placed where they should be. There was a very small desk and chair with a photo on it, a family photo, and some cosmetics, all neatly arranged.
There is also a diary, which is open. It seems that I wrote in it yesterday. I covered it up because I don’t want to see other people’s privacy. I gossip occasionally, but I don’t read diaries.
Looking at this place, I do have a strange feeling. If Ye Yao and I hadn't broken up, would we also rent a house like this, buy some light blue stickers and put them up to make the house cozy? Whoever comes home first will cook every day. Although I'm not very good at it yet, I can learn. Then we can get a pet and work hard together to buy our own house as soon as possible.
I shook my head and decided not to think about her anymore.
Now the main thing is about Mengxi. If it were her, what should I do? I don’t have the ability to rent a big house and let a rich girl live in a room less than 20 square meters. The more I think about it, the more headache I get. I can only think about working hard in the future, striving to succeed in my career as soon as possible, and get the recognition of her parents. I still sighed.
Yang Xue walked in, opened the folding table, and took out two "stools" from the closet beside the bed. They were the kind of boxes that could be opened to hold things and could also be used to sit on, and moved them over.
After a while, three bowls of noodles were brought over.
Yang Xue said, "The place is a bit small, so we'll just have to make do with it. This is the only condition I have when I come out to work and earn money."
I nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you." Then I sat down with Zhu Wei, and Yang Xue sat on the bed.
I ate the noodles and said, "It smells so good. It would be better if there was some chili."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xue walked over, brought a small bowl of chili oil, and placed it on the table.
"This is something my mom made herself and brought from home. I thought it would be better to eat less chili since it's late at night, so I didn't put any in it."
I gently put some in with a spoon, took a bite, and it really tasted like home.
I casually asked, "Yang Xue, where are you from?"
Later I found out that she was from the same province as me, just in the next city, so we were fellow villagers.
After taking a look at her, Yang Xue smiled and said, "No wonder, I feel you are so kind."
I laughed and joked, "Then you have to take better care of me. Don't shoot me in the back when we're from the same hometown."
She slapped me and said with a smile, "How is that possible? I'm here to protect you."
"How much does your house cost per month?"
"Five hundred and fifty, not including utilities, one deposit and three installments."
Just like that, after chatting and eating a bowl of noodles, it was very late and we really needed to go back.
Yang Xue walked us downstairs and said, "Come over when you have time. If it's breakfast, I can make you some home-cooked food. I'm quite good at it."
I nodded, took a taxi with Zhu Wei, and went back.
I sighed in the car: "You said I only make 128 yuan a day, and taking two taxis will cost nearly 30 yuan. It's a bit uneconomical."
Zhu Wei deliberately joked, "Or you can talk to Yang Xue and move in with her. You're from the same hometown, so maybe she'll agree."
"Get lost, you have lost all your dignity."
"Okay, call me brother and I'll find a solution for you tomorrow."
"Viagra." I called out without thinking.
"I'm going to strangle you to death, you stinking idiot."
Zhu Wei pounced on me fiercely and pinched my neck, making quite a loud noise.
The driver coughed twice and said, "Hey young man, my old car can't stand your tossing and turning."
Zhu Wei then let go and looked at me and said, "I'll go get the key from my mom tomorrow. My family has a house nearby and no one lives there, so you can stay there for a few days."
"Yifu, really? It's okay to go back. I won't be able to do anything to your father when he does. I'm also a little scared when I see your father."
