so far speechless

With the little money in his pocket, Cheng Ze calculated how to distribute his money during the period before he got his salary.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, but within a few days, it's the day to pay Liang Qianmu's rent.

Although Liang Qianmu's house is considered a low rent, this low is only limited to the rent price in M ​​city.Cheng Ze gritted his teeth and transferred the rent to Liang Qianmu's account.

Duan Chengyong promised him that he would pay back the money next week.Cheng Ze calculated the time, and now it is the next week that Duan Chengyong said.

In terms of affection, Duan Chengyong gave him the greatest help when he first arrived in M ​​City and joined Haili, and Cheng Ze should indeed repay the other party when he was in trouble.

However, Cheng Ze himself would starve to death if he reciprocated.

After thinking for a long time, Cheng Ze picked up his mobile phone and called Duan Chengyong.

"Beep-beep-"

"Xiao Cheng..." The phone didn't ring for a long time, and Duan Chengyong answered it.

"Brother Duan, tell me, you can give me the money this week." Cheng Ze's complexion was a little pale. He unconsciously grabbed a takeout order on the table and folded it unconsciously. "Can you give me money today?"

Duan Chengyong seemed to have expected that Cheng Ze was here to ask him for money, and as soon as Cheng Ze's words fell, he seemed to have prepared a reply before blocking him.

"Xiao Cheng... Brother Duan said this..." Duan Chengyong spoke intermittently, which made people anxious, "But... Brother Duan recently... has..."

"Brother Duan!" Cheng Ze was ignited because of Duan Chengyong's dishonesty, and because of his tight budget these days, his irritable mood seemed to be triggered by sparks. "I should help you if you need money urgently. I gave you most of my money, but I have to support myself. Last time you said next week, can you give me an accurate time?"

"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng, listen to Brother Duan." It seems that Cheng Ze has never had such a tone, and Duan Chengyong also became anxious, "New Year's Day, I will definitely give it to you on New Year's Day!"

Cheng Ze also felt his gaffe, and he cursed secretly in his heart. After thinking about it, he couldn't push him too hard, "Brother Duan, I believe you for the last time."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Ze sat on the sofa and covered his face.

In the evening, Cheng Ze cooked himself a bowl of instant noodles and was eating when the phone rang.

It turned out to be Yu Guci whom I hadn't contacted for a while.

"Idiot Ze, under Yulin's sister's persecution, I will come to your place the day after tomorrow." Yu Guci sat in his house, kowtowed melon seeds, and watched TV, "I haven't been to M city yet, and Yulin said that I just took advantage of this Time to play around together."

Cheng Ze really wanted to agree to him, the three of them hadn't gotten together for a long time.

But reality doesn't allow him to agree.

Lin Jiuyan's words are really useful.He will not refuse others. If he had rejected Duan Chengyong's request, he would...

But what's the use of saying so much now?

"Why don't you talk? You don't want to pigeonhole me, you idiot Ze?" Seeing that Cheng Ze was silent, Yu Guci put the film down and started talking on the phone seriously.

"Excuse me... I'm on New Year's Day..." Cheng Ze covered his eyes, he didn't want to open his eyes to face the reality, "Something..."

"There are still things to do on New Year's Day, and the company works overtime?" Yu Guci's tone suddenly exaggerated a bit of displeasure, "What about three times the salary."

"Yeah..." Cheng Ze felt a little weak. He put down his hand and grabbed the water glass on the coffee table. No matter how long the water had been in it, he took a sip and said, "Next time, I'll make it for you."

Yu Guci was considerate, seeing that Cheng Ze had his own arrangements, he didn't say anything, "But Yulin, you should be prepared not to be cut by her."

"I'm fully armed to plead guilty." Cheng Ze smiled helplessly.

Cheng Ze was cleaning the inbox while eating some cold instant noodles.

"I will come over on New Year's Day, Lin Jiuyan."

He saw a text message from an unfamiliar number, but the content was not unfamiliar at all.Cheng Ze looked at it, but in the end there was still no reply, so he clicked delete.

On the last day before New Years, Haley leaves work an hour early.Cheng Ze didn't see Duan Chengyong for a day, and only after asking other colleagues did he find out that he had something to do in his hometown and was in a hurry to go back.

Cheng Ze sighed, thinking that tomorrow is the day when Duan Chengyong promised to pay back the money, and his trip back to his hometown seems to be escaping.

However, that colleague got the news from nowhere that Duan Chengyong went back to his hometown alone, and his wife Wei Ailin is still in M ​​city.

Maybe this is a consolation, but Cheng Ze suddenly realized that if Duan Chengyong kept Wei Ailin's secret from the beginning to the end...

On Cheng Ze's way home from get off work, everyone was planning where to spend the three-day holiday of the New Year.The faces of everyone who passed by him were filled with anticipation and joy.On the street, all the shops put on their New Year's decorations together, and familiar and lively songs came from the stereo.

Who doesn't look forward to the new year?

Cheng Ze smiled wryly, even though he was looking forward to it, he doesn't have that money now.

His parents care about him all the time, especially his mother.Ever since she learned that Cheng Ze had gone to M City, her mother would call him every week to take care of him, buying fruit instead of just eating takeaway.Remember to wear more clothes when it's cold.

Although Cheng Ze was tired of hearing these words, he was never impatient.Living alone in a strange big city makes it easier to feel lonely.Once you are lonely, your parents are the ones you miss the most subconsciously.

Sure enough, while still on the road, Cheng Ze received a WeChat message from his mother.

Still those exhortations, still those exhortations.

Cheng Ze's heart felt a little warm, his eyes were a little sore, he raised his hand and rubbed it, pretending not to realize his red eyes, Cheng Ze typed a few words and replied to his mother.

It's not that my parents never asked me if I had enough money, but every time Cheng Ze said it was enough, don't worry.

He was the one who decided to stay in the big city, and he was the one who decided to come to M City.

He couldn't ask his family for money, Cheng Ze knew this very well.

I bought some frozen lunch boxes at the convenience store, and Cheng Ze planned to use these as food for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Yu Guci's worry turned out to be true. As soon as Cheng Ze got home, before he could put his lunch in the refrigerator, Lu Yulin's phone rang.

"What do you mean, Cheng Xiaoze!" It was still the same place.At the same decibel level, Cheng Ze tried his best to keep the phone away from his ears, and made up an excuse to explain to Lu Yulin.

After much difficulty, he managed to coax the angry Fa Xiaolian over.Cheng Ze was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa, grabbed the bread that he opened earlier from the coffee table, tore a piece and threw it into his mouth.

The reason for not wanting to tell Lu Yulin and Yu Guci was actually very complicated.

Cheng Ze didn't want to face their accusations that he had easily lent a large sum of money to others. Without knowing the situation, Cheng Ze also didn't want his two best friends to worry about him. He knew, If Yu Guci knew the truth, he would help him no matter what.

I have already received too much help from him, and I really can't owe any more.

On December 31st, Cheng Ze stayed at home for a whole day. He didn't know where to go, and he had nowhere to go.

Yu Guci sent a WeChat message, telling him that he had arrived in M ​​City, and asked him if he really wasn't coming out.

Cheng Ze replied perfunctorily, and the reason was still the same as before.

At night, Cheng Ze was so hungry that he got off the sofa, and was going to get the bento he bought yesterday from the refrigerator, and heat it up for dinner.

Just as Cheng Ze passed the door of the apartment with his lunch in his hand, there was a sudden sound of a key being turned to open the door.

Cheng Ze was startled, who would have the key?

Liang Qianmu?Impossible, my landlord, the director, went to City R on a business trip the day before yesterday to prepare for the director's New Year's Eve concert there.

"What are you doing standing still?"

The voice that Cheng Ze could not forget sounded, pulling his thoughts back to reality.

Lin Jiuyan carried two bags, closed the door, put the keys on the table, and walked towards Cheng Ze.

"You...how do you have the key?" Cheng Ze had never expected the situation in front of him, and it took him a long time to realize the problem.

Lin Jiuyan put down the two bags he was carrying, looked back at himself, and smiled slightly, "Look for Liang Qianmu."

"Why do you want my house key?!" Cheng Ze didn't understand his behavior.

Lin Jiuyan was still smiling. In Cheng Ze's memory, no matter when or what he encountered, Lin Jiuyan's favorite expression was a chuckle.

He took out vegetables and meat from one of the bags one after another... Only then did Cheng Ze know that he had prepared ingredients.

Does Lin Jiuyan want to cook at home?

"You want to cook at my house?" Cheng Ze followed and blocked the door. "I've eaten, you have to cook and go home."

"I made it for you." Lin Jiuyan took advantage of the situation, took Cheng Ze's hand that was gripping the doorknob, stepped forward, and pushed Cheng Ze against the door. "After you ate, what did you just hold in your hand?"

Cheng Ze suddenly felt like he was being delivered to his door.

Fortunately, Lin Jiuyan didn't make things difficult for him, but when Cheng Ze was in a daze thinking about something, he came up to him and kissed him secretly, then let go, pushed Cheng Ze aside effortlessly, and walked into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients .

Cheng Ze followed in, as if this was not his home.

"Lin Jiuyan! I didn't invite you to my house!" Cheng Ze suddenly felt a little tired.

The people around him put down the kitchen utensils in their hands, turned around, and faced themselves.

"Ozawa, I'm not by your side, so I can't know everything about you, but I can feel that something has happened to you." Lin Jiuyan grabbed Cheng Ze's shoulder and made him look at him, "I promised Yours, cook a meal for you. Now, give me this chance."
