C131 (1/2)
The rent was three thousand five hundred a month, and it was one room for three rooms. In a large city like Donghai City, this price was already considered low. The landlord let go after we said we were going to cook.
It took me two or three days to clear out all the rooms. Cheng asked for a room, and Tick would be coming over when the time came. It would also be a room.
I signed a contract with the landlord for three years in one go, so I replaced a lot of things in the house with new ones.
In less than two months, I spent more than 100,000 yuan. This suddenly makes my heart ache a little. The house was only ready, but in my little room, apart from a notebook, there were too many things that were missing.
A million was a huge sum of money to me. And now, all of a sudden, I spent more than two years of my life.
With the house set up, Cheng brought me to walk around the entire Donghai City from east to west before school even starts. After spending another half a month, the flute was finally going to arrive.
Tick will be here tomorrow. My heart began to race. There was still more than a week before Tick started school. She already knew that I had rented a house here, and that I would definitely be living here.
Tick comes in and there's no school opening for Cheng, which is what I'm most afraid of. Although Cheng said he didn't care about those things, I knew that if the two of them lived under the same roof, Tick would find out sooner or later.
Just when I didn't know what to say, Cheng spoke up. ” ”Brother, school is about to start, and we can move back into the dorm now. I think I'll move back in tomorrow. Is that okay?”
Hearing Cheng's words, I felt very upset. The more Cheng was like this, the harder it was for me to calm down.
”Cheng, I …”
Cheng said softly, ”Brother, don't say anymore. I know that as long as I can stay by your side, I'll be satisfied. Don't worry, I'll be at ease.”
I took a deep breath and said slowly, ”Cheng, I'm sorry.”
Cheng Zi smiled and said, ”Brother, don't apologize to me. I'm only willing. I'm already very satisfied with my current life, and I can come over often.”
”Alright then, I'll help you carry your things back tomorrow. In the evening, Tick will come over and we'll have a meal together. Tick says she'll meet you.” At the end of my words, I began to feel guilty. Tick's request I really do not know how to postpone, Tick must treat Cheng Zi to a meal, this is inevitable.
Cheng Zi agreed without thinking, ”Alright, I've never seen Tick Sis before either. Is she very beautiful? Brother, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you.”
Cheng Zi's words made me feel extremely upset. I steeled my heart and said solemnly, ”Cheng, don't worry. As long as you're willing, I'll take care of you for the rest of your life.”
”I do.”
The next day, I helped Cheng carry some things back to the dormitory before coming to the train station. Cheng Zi was an old student of the school. She returned to the school earlier than the new students. Moreover, they already had a dormitory to begin with, so they could return earlier.
Tick came by train, and it took her about ten hours to get here. Standing at the entrance of the station, I look at Cheng who is standing beside me. There isn't a single hint of dissatisfaction on my face. On the contrary, there is a faint smile on it which I am unable to smile from start to finish.
In the end, I couldn't resist saying, ”Cheng, if you really aren't happy, just take a taxi back. I'll go find you later. You don't need to come with me.”
Cheng'zi shook his head, and stubbornly said, ”Brother, don't worry, I'm really happy. As long as you and Tick Sis can be together happily, I'm willing to do anything.”
I sighed. ”Hai, alright. If you want to go back later, just tell me. Don't force yourself. Do you understand?”
”Don't worry, I know what to do.” Cheng smiled at me. There was no trace of dissatisfaction or hesitation on his face.
Faced with Cheng's insistence, I didn't know what to say. I was still worried in my heart.
”Brother.” At that moment, Cheng suddenly called out to me. I turned around and was about to ask her. Cheng stood on her tiptoes and kissed me lightly on the mouth. Then she quickly withdrew, standing there with her head lowered. She blushed and didn't dare to look at me.
I touched my lips and bitterly smiled. Not only was there no dissatisfaction in my heart, it actually made my heart feel a lot more at ease.
Soon, my cell phone rang. Tick said she had gotten out of the car and was now coming out.
After a few minutes, I saw a familiar figure walking out of the station entrance. I immediately raised my hand and shouted at Tick.
When Tick saw me waving, she immediately grabbed her luggage and rushed over to me. I also quickly went up to meet her.
