The day I shared a room with a beautiful woman

"Landlord brother, please help me carry my luggage!"

There was a sweet voice on the other end of the line.

It's the new tenant.

Listening to a voice that seemed to be a soft and weak girl, my heart could not help but get excited.

Come to Shanghai to work for three years, the first time and a girl to share it!

I ran downstairs and saw a little girl looking over here.

"Are you... Li Qian?"

'You're the landlord, aren't you? That... Li Qian blushed and looked at the big bags piled on the ground.

"Little things." I readily agreed.

I had a woven bag slung over my left shoulder and a suitcase in my right hand. Li Qian followed me in small steps carrying two bags.

I rent a house, is Shanghai old break small a two-bedroom, on the sixth floor, the top floor, no elevator.

The stairs of the old house are very high, carrying heavy loads to climb the building, to be honest, it is quite tired.

But in front of the girl, you must appear in good physical condition and leave a good impression on the girl!

So I frown, grit my teeth, and try to look as fast as I can.

What's that saying?

"You have to work hard to look effortless."

Today I finally realized the truth.

It's finally here.

I tried not to breathe, but beads of sweat were beginning to fall from my forehead.

In front of her, Li Qian was also tired and panted slightly. Her white face was covered with red clouds and beads of perspiration appeared on her forehead. She was not tall, wearing a blue dress, her figure was curvy, and her hair had light flowers.

"Really trouble you! Thank you." Li Qian still politely thanked.

"This is your room. The landlord did a little remodeling so there's a bathroom in it."

I left my things at the door of Li Qian's room, turned around and went back to my room.

I breathed a long sigh of relief and drank a large glass of cold water before the heat around me receded.

That night I turned over and over, Li Qian's blushing face has been lingering in my mind.

My name is Yu Huan, 31 years old, programmer, otaku a, usually in addition to playing games is to knock code.

The last time we dated was in college, but we broke up right after graduation.

As an emotionless code machine, life is boring.

How old is she? What kind of work do you do? Where are they from? Does she have a boyfriend?

With the arrival of Li Qian, what will happen to my life?

Li Qian seems to be very busy at work, leaving early and returning late, and can rarely be met in the living room on weekdays.

Since the last luggage, Li Qian has not contacted me for two consecutive days.

I looked into the chat box several times at night and wanted to send a message, but I didn't know what to say!

And texting a girl in the middle of the night might be considered sinister.

Although, I do have a little something in mind.

The next day I got up to go to work, Li Qian had already gone out.

When I went to the refrigerator door to get some water, there was a pink post-it note on the refrigerator door with a beautiful line of letters:

"Landlord brother, a cup of yogurt, talk about gratitude!"

Open the refrigerator and see the yogurt left by Li Qian.

It's sweet in my mouth, it's sweet in my heart.

When I came home from work at night, I bought some fruit in advance.

I also left a post-it note on the fridge: Fruit, enjoy!

The next day, you will see the post-it notes left by Li Qian.

For days on end, we communicated via post-it notes on the fridge.

It was finally Friday night, and I wondered if I should invite Li Qian to dinner? Or watch a movie?

But what reason should I give? I don't think she knows my name! She didn't ask!

At this time, I wish I was the kind of boy who is very good at communication, but now I only feel that my mouth is stupid and I don't know how to send messages.

You know what? I'll just invite you.

I'm not going to struggle, just open the chat box and edit a message:

"Hello, Li Qian, if you are free tomorrow Saturday, how about having a meal together?"

I waited for a long time and finally got a reply:

I have an appointment tomorrow, maybe next time! Thank you for your invitation.

What is she? Is something really wrong?

Or did you reject me?

Saturday was no different than any other weekend.

I didn't get up until nine or ten, and Li Qian had already gone out.

Yesterday Li Qian declined, I still have a little sullen, the mood can not raise.

She has an appointment? With who?

Maybe a boyfriend.

The more I think about it, the more irritated I get. I just started playing the game.

Noon also did not intend to cook, randomly ordered a takeout, and continued to team up with brothers to play games, so until 8:00 p.m.

Li Qian hasn't come back yet.

After taking a bath, it was 10:30, and Li Qian still didn't seem to come back.

Should I send you a message?

But what if he's on a date?

You know what? Forget it. Go to sleep.

The familiar mobile phone ring sounded, I caught the phone in a daze, a look is Li Qian, immediately sat up from the bed.

"Hello, are you Li Qian's landlord?" A woman's voice came.

"Yes, who are you..."

"I am her colleague, the company is building today, and she drank too much at night." Please, come down to the gate of the community to take it!"

I immediately rushed downstairs and saw a woman holding Li Qian waiting at the door.

"Can you take care of her?" My colleague looked at me suspiciously.

"Li Qian was drunk and talking nonsense. I asked her if she had any friends, and she just kept talking about the landlord. I saw that she only put a note in her phone for the landlord, and I called you."

My heart a terrified, the original Li Qian so trust me.

"Rest assured, I will take good care of her" and then supported Li Qian back.

Li Qian reeked of wine and leaned against my chest. I had to put one hand on her arm, the other hand to climb the stair railing, step by step.

Li Qian's mouth has been chanting something, but can not hear clearly.

Finally got into the house, I helped Li Qian into the bedroom to lie down.

At this moment I looked at the drunk Li Qian, the face is red, a few strands of bangs randomly hung in front of the forehead.

I called cold water, wet towel, put on Li Qian forehead.

"Mom, I don't want..." Li Qian suddenly burst into tears, her mouth has been reading.

Two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of her eyes and wet the pillow.

I looked at this small, weak girl in front of me, not knowing what had happened to her, only feeling that it was painful.

I wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue, and in the face of such a beautiful face, I want to kiss it.

But I can't do that. I want to be a good man.

I got a cup of cold white water and put it on the bed with a post-it note reminding her to drink water.

When she was asleep and breathing even, she went back to her bedroom.

That night, I lost sleep again.

In this big Shanghai, we are all happy workers during the day, but in the darkness of the night, it is a sad and lonely!

There is no solution!

When I woke up the next day, it was past eleven.

Open the door, a delicious smell of vegetables came.

'You're awake! Li Qian greeted me with a smile.

On the table were scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised fish, stir-fried meat with green peppers, and a green vegetable.

"You did all this?" My stomach is growling uncontrollably at the moment.

"Thank you, landlord, for last night! Today's meal is on me. I've cooked some home-cooked dishes. I don't know if they suit your taste."

After washing, Li Qian and I sat face to face and began to eat.

Li Qian's face looked better than last night, and there was a gentle smile on her face, not as sad and helpless as last night.

Li Qian really good craft!

I restrained myself from gorging myself and tried to be a gentleman.

But still can not resist the delicious food, even ate two bowls of rice.

In the meantime, we chatted.

Li Qian from Xiangxi, originally a spicy girl! This year 21 years old, just came to Shanghai, is a real estate sales.

"Forgot to ask, landlord brother, your name?"

"Joy, superfluous joy, joy!"

Li Qian "splash" smile, but I feel embarrassed, face red.

In the weeks that followed, I became bolder. Take the initiative to send a message to invite Li Qian to dinner, or take her around Shanghai.

Together we blew the evening breeze by the Huangpu River

Eat Shaxian small wontons together

Also go to Sweet love Road walk, feel the summer under the plane trees

I tried to ask Li Qian if she was single, but her face sank and she only smiled reluctantly, not giving a clear answer.

"Landlord, there's something I can't tell you right now."

That night, I heard Li Qian on the phone in her room, constantly arguing about something.

She speaks in her native tongue. I can't understand her.

There was a lot of crying and I was very worried. I sent a message asking.

She just said, "It's okay."

After that, Li Qian went home later and later. Sometimes in the wee hours of the morning.

His attitude towards me, though still very polite, became cold and less ambiguous than before.

Did I do something wrong? I can't think of anything to offend her!

What does she do every day? Coming back so late. We're too embarrassed to ask.

But I still send her caring texts every day and keep her favorite fruit in the fridge.

So many days of getting along, I have a good impression on Li Qian. There's just a lot of things I don't know about her.

I decided to take a chance and ask her how she felt.

One night, the company dinner, I was busy until late.

When I was about to go to the gate of the community, I found that Li Qian was watching under the tree and seemed to be waiting for someone.

I was nervous and quickly hid behind the bus stop to see who Li Qian was waiting for.

A few minutes later, the figure of a young man appeared and walked straight towards Li Qian.

Originally, Li Qian has a boyfriend!

As soon as the man approached Li Qian, he grabbed her hair and pulled it out! Li Qian tried her best to break free, but how could she compete with a big man as a petite figure?

I saw that the situation was wrong, and dared to rush forward and hold the man's arm.

"I've already shot the video. You're bullying girls in public!" I raised my phone to warn him.

"What business of yours! Go away!" The young man shouted at me.

"Please watch your behavior, I can call the police right now!" I was ready to dial 110.

The other party saw me make a phone call and some panic, and said to Li Qian fiercely, "You don't think about running!" And disappeared into the twilight.

Looking back at Li Qian, she was looking at me with tears in her eyes. Because of pulling the arm, there are several red blood marks, I feel distressed.

"Go home!" I took Li Qian's hand, she is very clever, silently walking.

I brought the usual medicine box to disinfect and apply medicine to the scratches on Li Qian's arm.

A look up on the face of Li Qian also have bruises, then take the disinfection cotton ball to wipe.

Li Qian a hold my hand, "wow" a howl of tears.

Li Qian cried very sad, I was at a loss. Can only be quiet with. I don't know how long it was before the crying quieted down.

"He's my fiance."

Li Qian's words, in my heart like a heavy blow, something broke.

"But I've always wanted to get out. That's why I came to Shanghai."

After a long time, Li Qian went on.

Originally, Li Qian came from the countryside of western Hunan, is the eldest daughter in the family, and there is a sister and a brother below.

Because of her poor family, she was set up early, and also advanced 5w bride gift money to repair the house at home.

Li Qian did not want to accept such an arrangement, and went to Shanghai to work. But the man's family kept knocking on his door. Just that person is the man Li Qian betrothed, Wang Fugui.

Wang Fugui contact Li Qian, said if not meet to go to her company, let everyone know her scandal.

I didn't expect such a young girl to encounter such an encounter. In addition to pity, there was a sense of awe.

Li Qian never succumbed to fate, she is a brave girl!

"Landlord brother, I tell you a good news" Li Qian smiled.

'What good news?

"Last month I closed a few houses and got a 4w commission. Plus I've been doing odd jobs at the snack bar, so I've got $5w. I'll call my mother tomorrow and ask her to return the money to the Wangs. Then I shall be free!"

Li Qian's tired face was the purest smile I have ever seen.

"It's just, can I pay next month's rent..."

"Xiao Ya, would you like to be my girlfriend? We struggle together in Shanghai!"

I looked carefully at Li Qian's big sparkling eyes, looking forward to her answer.

Li Qian did not speak, but smiled shyly and nodded.

I was ecstatic.

Outside the old glass window, the neon lights on the outer layer of the building quietly flickered, red and purple and green light, blinking their eyes, as if they were blessing these two young people struggling in Shanghai.
