I answered and took my phone and went out.
...
On the next street, I went to two pharmacies and finally found the pink-capped spray that Yang Sisi had mentioned. Nicole was right; I really needed her to come with me to Thailand this time because I didn't know anything about it and didn't feel like preparing all those miscellaneous but useful things.
Yang Sisi, though playful, is never ambiguous when something really happens. But the more she acts this way, the more I feel I owe her something, because in the year or so we've known each other, I haven't been very good to her most of the time... I complain that she's not reliable, that she talks too much, and that she likes to tease people...
Even so, in the end, it was still her who stayed by my side and never left me.
...
On the way back, I ran into Chen Jin again. He first offered me a cigarette, then stood against the wall and asked me, "When are you planning to go to Thailand?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Hmm, is your luggage all packed?"
I nodded without saying anything more.
After a moment of silence, Chen Jin said to me again, "A few days ago, I said some unpleasant things to you, but don't take it to heart... I know you've had a tough time too... Enough said, don't worry about going to Thailand... I'll take care of things at home. When you come back, I'll sign at least ten shops for you."
I forced a smile and then took another deep drag on my cigarette.
"By the way, yesterday a guy who deals in antiques and calligraphy contacted me, saying he wanted to rent a shop over there... I quoted him 30,000 a year, and he thought it was no problem. If you think his business won't affect our plans for the entire commercial street, then I'll sign a contract with him."
"Having one or two shops outside the planned area won't have a big impact... Let's focus on making money first."
"Okay, I'll get this sorted out tomorrow, and I'll transfer the rent I receive to the studio's account."
"Um."
Chen Jin patted me on the shoulder to comfort me, and then left.
Watching his retreating figure, I felt a little comforted. I knew that I had Yang Sisi by my side, as well as a group of other friends who were willing to care and share my burdens... But suddenly, I felt even sadder... because I had used this to mock Ye Zhi in front of Nicole... I laughed at her for always being all alone.
Although she didn't hear me, I regretted saying those words, and even more so, I regretted appearing in her world. If it weren't for me, she might not have gone to Thailand to relax, and she might not have encountered this disaster! Want to chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Miss"?
