Female tenant: 26-year-old heartbeat and life ups and downs

After seeing Xu Tianna off, Su Ran returned to the house, drank the remaining red wine, and then lit a cigarette, lying on the sofa and taking a deep breath. The scene of asking Xu Tianna whether she was a friend kept appearing in his mind. He was full of surprise, wondering why he asked such a question and what the meaning of such a question was. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer. Perhaps just as a dying man's words are good, although he didn't care about Xu Tianna's opinion of him in the past, when he really left, he also wanted to leave a good impression on her. Even if they couldn't be friends, he didn't want her to think of him with words like vulgar, shameless, and mean in the future. After washing up, Su Ran gradually woke up from the trance after drinking, and took advantage of this sobriety to start packing his luggage. The guitar given by Lin Yue in the luggage was still lying there quietly. Su Ran found a clean rag and wiped it repeatedly. Every wipe seemed to wipe out the pain of love and the scars of memories, and a wave of sadness surged in his heart.

He couldn't help but imagine how wonderful it would be if there was a love that could transcend material and last forever. If so, he might have entered the marriage hall with Lin Yue at this moment. He was not afraid of marriage, just because he loved Lin Yue deeply, and he would never feel bored with his beloved woman no matter how long the years passed.

I still remember the days when they broke up. He missed her all the time and wanted to tell her: "Remember that I have been standing at the end of the world waiting for you." However, month after month, year after year, he never got a response. So he began to numb himself with beer and other women, letting his life gradually decay in confusion, but the guitar always accompanied him in an unchanged posture.

Su Ran put down the rag and gently plucked the strings of the guitar. The clear sound echoed in the house, as if bringing him back to the good times when they were snuggling together. The clear laughter once made him happy in the past, but it hurt him now. He held the guitar tightly, trying to hold those laughters firmly in his hands.

A cell phone ring suddenly rang, pulling him back to reality from his memories. Those tightly grasped beautiful memories fell from his fingers like sand. He wanted to keep them but was powerless, and his heart was full of loss and hidden pain.

Su Ran stared at the phone blankly for a long time before answering the call. The call was from Yan Yan, who asked directly: "Su Ran, when are you going back to Xuzhou?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning."

Yan Yan sighed lightly: "So soon?"

"Yes, without any worries, come and go freely." Su Ran responded with a smile, but this smile could not hide the bitterness.

"I wanted to treat you to a meal to practice for you. We have been friends for so many years. I really don't want you to leave." Yan Yan's voice was slightly choked, and Su Ran knew that her reluctance was sincere. He was also reluctant to leave Yan Yan and Fang Yuan, but this city could not accommodate him after all, and leaving was the beginning of liberation and rebirth.

"There is no need to practice, you and Fang Yuan are very busy. If you have free time in the future, remember to come to Xuzhou for a visit." Su Ran paused for a moment and added, "If he is still willing."

Since resigning from his job for four days, Su Ran has not had any contact with Fang Yuan. He knows that Fang Yuan still can't let go of that incident and is dissatisfied with him. But he doesn't know how to explain to Fang Yuan, because in Fang Yuan's eyes, his reasons are not tenable at all. They look at this matter from completely different perspectives, which makes Su Ran feel deeply regretful and heartbroken.

Yan Yan remained silent, and Su Ran became more and more convinced that Fang Yuan was still angry at the moment, and perhaps this resentment would continue for a long time, after all, the negative impact caused by this matter was too great.

Yan Yan was silent for a long time before she said, "What time is the train tomorrow? I'll take you to the station."

"Don't bother."

"Tomorrow is the weekend, I won't be working, it's okay."

Su Ran thought for a moment, no longer refused, and told Yan Yan the time of departure tomorrow and the current address.

After ending the call with Yan Yan, packing his bags and washing up again, Su Ran returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed. He wanted to call Robben to tell him that he was leaving tomorrow morning, but finally gave up. He knew that they would definitely go to the station to see him off, but he really didn't like to face the melancholy of such a face-to-face farewell, so he planned to tell him after returning to Xuzhou.

After turning off the lights, Su Ran looked back on his years in Suzhou in the dark. It wasn't that he gained nothing, at least he made a few close friends and a good boss, Chen Jingming. It was a pity that he gave up the opportunity in the end, and indirectly caused Chen Jingming to miss the opportunity for promotion. Thinking of this, the feeling of guilt surged in his heart again.

He also knew that Fang Yuan's greatest resentment towards him came from Chen Jingming. Fang Yuan has always cherished Chen Jingming's kindness. After all, without Chen Jingming, he would not have achieved what he has today.

But will their years of brotherhood really vanish in these workplace disputes?

Su Ran had no solution and could only hope that time would make Fang Yuan feel relieved. He hoped that one day in the future, Fang Yuan and Yan Yan would be able to visit Xuzhou, and then they would be able to drink a few glasses of wine, smoke a few cigarettes, talk freely, and laugh freely as they did in the past.

Tiredness finally came over him in his complicated thoughts. In the middle of the night, Su Ran yawned heavily, and then gradually fell into a deep sleep, quietly spending the last night before parting.

The next morning, Su Ran moved his luggage out of the house early and handed the key of the house to the couple who rented the house yesterday.

Standing downstairs of the apartment building, Su Ran looked up at the rising sun. Today he had an appointment with Yan Yan, and she would come to take him to the train station. Women are always slow, and it was still early to get on the car, so Su Ran was not anxious. He just smoked a few cigarettes in a row while waiting.

After a while, Su Ran finally saw Yan Yan's slowly approaching white Mazda 6. To his surprise, there was another person in the passenger seat. Looking closely, it was Fang Yuan. In an instant, Su Ran's emotions surged. He didn't expect Fang Yuan to come with Yan Yan to see him off.

The car stopped steadily, and Yan Yan and Fang Yuan got off from both sides of the car and came to Su Ran.

Su Ran smiled at Fang Yuan, "I didn't expect you to come."

"Yan Yan is here, how can I not come."

Su Ran asked half-jokingly, "You kid were not tied up by Yan Yan, were you? You look so reluctant."

"It's almost the same if you're not tied up." Fang Yuan responded, but there was no smile on his face.

Yan Yan patted Fang Yuan gently and said, "You two have been brothers for so many years, are you really going to stop talking to each other? Hurry up and help Su Ran get her luggage into the car, don't miss the train." Fang Yuan nodded, and put Su Ran's few luggage into the trunk with Yan Yan, and then said to Su Ran who was still stunned, "Why, do you want to stay a little longer?" Su Ran smiled, said nothing, and just gestured to Fang Yuan to get in the car. The three of them got in the car one by one, Yan Yan started the car, and drove towards the train station. The atmosphere in the car was a little depressing. Su Ran looked at the street scene outside the window that was constantly receding, with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether his relationship with Fang Yuan could be restored after this trip, nor did he know what was waiting for him in the future. But at this moment, he could only firmly embark on the road home with his attachment to the past and confusion about the future. The wind outside the car window seemed to sigh softly for his departure, as if telling the stories of the past and the uncertain future. In the sound of the wind, he silently sorted out his thoughts, preparing to welcome a new chapter in his life. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, he had no way back and could only move forward bravely to explore the unknown destiny.
