When I said that Mi Cai was lying and fooling around, her emotions didn't change much. She calmly said to , "I rember telling you last ti that it's inconvenient for the two of us to live together. Our lifestyles and habits are very different. Why do you keep making things difficult for and endlessly bothering ?"
I calmly responded, "Don't say that. Am I bothering you? I care about that room. If you move out, I will never go looking for you."
Mi Cai nodded and said, "I believe that, but the property certificate clearly states my na. What's the point of you caring about it?"
I earnestly said to Mi Cai, "Let's switch places and think about it. If you lived in a house for over two years and suddenly moved out, how would you feel? In Suzhou, we don't have a house. Our lives are unsettled, and we really long for a place to rely on, especially at night... You will never understand the fear of having nowhere to go, feeling suppressed and helpless!"
Mi Cai fell silent.
I also fell silent. At this mont, it wasn't just a house that caused conflict between us, but also the barriers of social class. These barriers prevented us from understanding each other and caused us to tornt each other while holding our ground.
After a long ti, I asked Mi Cai with doubt, "If you really wanted to leave, for example, by calling the police, I would have to go. Why haven't you done that?"
Mi Cai looked up at , and after a mont of silence, she said, "You haven't beco bad enough to warrant calling the police on you."
I smiled and said, "Then I'm really lucky. I'm lucky that I'm not completely bad!"
Although it was a sarcastic remark towards Mi Cai, she said to seriously again, "You can help CC guard that restaurant and beco friends with her. You can't be that bad. It's just that life and emotions have given you too much pressure, so you appear to be soone who does anything without scruples. In reality, your indifference is just a way to make yourself feel better."
I looked at Mi Cai absentmindedly. It turned out that she was the one who understood the most over the years. At least my closest friends, Circle, Yan Yan, Robben, and CC, have never said these things to . It seed like Mi Cai lightly touched the deepest knot in my heart, but didn't completely untie it. However, it was enough to touch my sensitivity.
Finally, I said to Mi Cai, "Are you trying to affirm my character and make feel embarrassed to bother you, fulfilling your desire for peace? Stop playing mind gas with . I've been to school, and I understand the policy of leniency."
Mi Cai fell silent, looking helpless. It seed that my stubbornness didn't work on her, and I already knew her bottom line. If I stubbornly refused to leave, she wouldn't have any way to deal with . Naturally, I wouldn't give her another chance to lock in the house. How could soone as smart and alert as be taken advantage of by the sa woman three tis?
I wasn't ashad of my behavior of bothering Mi Cai. At least she still had a luxurious house in this city. If I forced her out, she wouldn't experience the feeling of being adrift with nowhere to go. And of course, I wouldn't live in that old house for free. I would still pay the rent that was due.
This was my plan. If Mi Cai could compromise, it would be a win-win situation for both of us. Indeed, she was beautiful, rich, and the CEO of Zhuo i. But that didn't an I had to like her or have any ulterior motives towards her. So I really didn't need to bother her. As long as she was willing to rent the house to , I wouldn't bother her for the rest of my life.
After thinking for a while, I said to Mi Cai, who had been silent all along, "Why don't you just rent this house to ? Don't you have another house in Liu'an Jingyuan? You can go back there to live. Just give a bank account number, and I'll transfer the rent to your account every month. We don't even have to see each other anymore. Isn't that great?"
Mi Cai didn't accept my proposal at all and said with an angry expression, "You were so determined to move out last ti. Why are you changing your mind now?"
"I'm just a scoundrel, living a wavering life. Besides, I thought I would find a suitable house after moving out. But either they were too expensive or too far from my company. I wasn't happy being adrift, so of course, I wanted to move back."
Mi Cai looked at helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Your reasons are really convincing. Both subjectively and objectively!"
"Of course, I'm soone who does things thoroughly."
"But don't you think you're going too far? Who forces soone to rent their house to them?" Mi Cai still patiently said to .
I shouted, "Am I going too far? How about I call all my friends right now and let them judge who is going too far between us? Really, you're just like those tyrant bandits in the past, using money to oppress the lives of poor people."
Mi Cai finally lost her patience. She picked up her handbag from the table, stood up, and said to , "I don't have ti to argue with you. I definitely won't rent the house to you. Stop fantasizing."
I followed Mi Cai out of the noodle shop, wanting to continue talking to her. In any case, I wanted to settle the matter of the house tonight.
Mi Cai walked fast, afraid that I would catch up to her. Her high heels made a "clacking" sound on the concrete ground. I also didn't slow down and took a few big steps, blocking Mi Cai's path and threateningly said, "Are you going to rent it or not..."
Before I could finish my sentence, a sudden and excruciating pain blood in my stomach. I covered my abdon and squatted down. I hadn't eaten all day, and I just had a big al. My already weak stomach couldn't handle such stimulation.
Mi Cai took advantage of squatting on the ground, walked around , and didn't care about whether I was alive or dead.
"Do you have... no conscience? My stomach hurts, and you're just watching suffer?" I said while enduring the pain.
Mi Cai stopped and turned to look at . "What? Are you planning to use the 'suffering together' tactic on again? I already made it clear to you just now. I won't rent the house to you."
I convulsed in pain and could even feel the sweat on my forehead.
Mi Cai finally ca back to my side, squatted down, and looked at with doubt. She asked, "What's wrong with you?""Didn't I just tell you... I have a stomachache. How could you... just stand by and do nothing? Last ti... when you had a fever, didn't I make ginger soup for you out of kindness... didn't I go buy dicine for you?" I said, my face twisted in pain.
"At a ti like this, you're still nitpicking. Did I say I wouldn't help?... I'm calling an ambulance." Mi Cai said, pulling out her phone from her handbag.
"What planet did you parachute from, you alien? Don't you have... any common sense? I just have a stomachache, why are you calling an ambulance... There's a pharmacy one hundred ters to the right across the street, go... buy those fast-acting stomachache chewable tablets, I'll be fine after chewing a couple."
Mi Cai gave a dissatisfied look and said, "You're like this, can't you just save your strength and talk less? Fine, I'm going now, you wait here."
I grimaced and said, "Hurry up, I'm in so much pain I'm going crazy!"
Mi Cai nodded, then jogged across the street... Watching her retreating figure, I sat on the ground, another wave of pain hitting .
