I had almost forgotten the last time I saw Wu Shuang. When I opened the door and saw Wu Shuang sitting on the sofa, I was stunned.
Why is he here?
This was my first reaction at the time, but I was too embarrassed to say it.
Wu Shuang occupied a sofa alone, and Lin Feifei sat on a round cushion next to the TV, facing him in a confrontational manner.
As soon as Wu Shuang saw me coming in, he stood up immediately, with a somewhat flattering smile on his face, and greeted me warmly.
"Binzi, you're back. Long time no see."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
I nodded, said "here I am", and strode into the living room.
In fact, I kind of admire Wu Shuang. I always pride myself on being thick-skinned, but he makes me feel ashamed.
Lin Feifei got up and walked towards me, took the suitcase from my hand and said softly
"You're tired, please sit down and rest for a while."
With that said, she walked into the bedroom with her suitcase and never came out again.
Lin Feifei never wanted to see Wu Shuang. After I came back, she simply made excuses to avoid me.
I walked over to the round cushion where Lin Feifei had been sitting just now and sat down. A burst of residual warmth suddenly came from my buttocks. I took out one and handed it to Wu Shuang. The man smiled slightly and took the cigarette. Then I lit one for myself.
I took out the lighter and flicked it, and the flame immediately lit the cigarette butt, and wisps of green smoke slowly rose.
He and I smoked cigarettes in silence, waiting for the other person to speak first.
The once close brothers were now relatively silent. The two of us just smoked in silence without speaking. There seemed to be an inexplicable depression in the air.
Wu Shuang and I had had several conflicts before. At that time, I simply believed that conflicts among the people can always be adjusted. But now I don’t think so. There is no need to add sadness to a friendship that is destined to pass away. People with different aspirations will naturally drift apart.
No matter how hard we try, the tacit understanding and intimacy we once had have been swallowed up by the rolling dust of the world and will never come back.
In the deathly silence, Wu Shuang couldn't bear the torture. He cleared his throat and said with a forced smile on his face:
"Binzi, I know you are blaming me now. I was really wronged about the KV video. I..."
I waved my hand to interrupt him, and then chuckled:
"This is all in the past. It doesn't matter to me who it is or who it isn't. What's the matter with you coming to me?"
Historical experience tells me that with his character of not going to the Three Treasures Palace for anything, he suddenly came to my house not just to explain these things.
Wu Shuang was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips.
I am very familiar with his routine. Remembering the bitter and thinking of the sweet first, and reminiscing about the lost youth together, will help open up the topic.
But I didn't give him a chance this time. There are things to talk about in the adult world, so don't waste each other's time.
After Wu Shuang was silent for about five minutes, the smile climbed onto his cheek again.
"I'm looking for you, of course I have something good for you."
I didn't speak, just smoked silently, waiting for him to take the initiative to speak. What he calls a good thing is probably for him.
Wu Shuang suddenly moved his butt forward, with a flattering smile on his face and a hint of cunning in his eyes, which made me very uncomfortable. .qgν.
"I came here to ask you if you want to buy a house. Our company has a real estate project that is about to start construction. It is in a prime location in most of the capital. It is expected that the house will be handed over next year. It is definitely a good deal to buy it now..."
He paused for a moment and continued to persuade me:
"I have good things in mind for you, brother. You are so popular now. If you work hard for a year, how many millions can you make?"
My heart sank, and all kinds of feelings came to my mind.
hehe.
This is the brother who used to sleep on my upper bunk. When my father was lying in the ICU, he ignored me. Now he stabbed me in the back and started calling me brother when he saw that I was angry.
Dao brother.
When Wu Shuang and I had conflicts in the past, Zhao Yue kept telling her sincerely, saying that despite our friendship of more than ten years, I have finally reached the state of his "expectations":
never mind!
I stared at Wu Shuang, feeling calm. Only when you are completely desperate for a person will you show a calm state.
If you still feel sad and angry, it only means that you still have expectations for him.
My eyes fell on his face, and I couldn't help laughing and shook my head:
"If you don't buy it, you've got the wrong person."
Wu Shuang was stunned. He didn't expect me to reject him so simply. A trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he deliberately emphasized his advantages:
"Our company is located in a school district, next to a kindergarten and an elementary school! It's also close to a junior high school."
I shook my head, "I don't want to chicken babies. Chicken babies are not as good as chickens myself. Wouldn't it be better if I make more money so that he can have more choices in the future! What's more, it's too expensive and I can't even get the down payment. rise."
Wu Shuang's eyes lit up, "So what you're worried about is the down payment! You sold the house in your hometown for half a million. If you borrow some more, you two can borrow some more. It won't be a big problem. .”
"No, if I rent out the house in my hometown, I can still earn some rent."
"You don't want to make progress."
I laughed angrily and said with a smile, "I don't want to make progress if I don't buy the house you recommended? Besides, can you guarantee the delivery of the off-plan property?"
"We are a big company, ranked among the top ten in the country." Wu Shuang waved his hand with high spirits.
I chuckled.
Buying an off-plan house is like unpacking a blind box. If you unpack a building that is unfinished...
Wu Shuang took a deep breath and continued to do my ideological work patiently:
"Binzi, you and Feifei can't keep renting a house, right? This rent is enough for you to repay the loan. If you rent a house for twenty years, you are not giving money to others, but if you repay the mortgage for twenty years, what you get is What?"
"What I got was a lifelong house slave."
"..."
Wu Shuang was on the verge of crying, "Are you just going to let Feifei and you rent a house for the rest of your life?"
Before I could speak, Lin Feifei's voice suddenly floated over:
"I think renting a house is fine, it's nothing."
I turned around and saw Lin Feifei coming out of the bedroom. She walked lightly, as if she was stepping on the clouds with every step. The sun shone on her long hair, giving it a faint luster, which complemented her charming smile.
Lin Feifei smiled at me, and I suddenly felt that everything was left unsaid.
The two of us are no longer just in tune with each other. We have lived together for so long and have reached the level of a physical connection. With her look, I immediately understood. She was afraid that I would not be strong-willed, so she came out.
Lin Feifei walked to sit next to me and took my arm, as if everything was so natural.
Wu Shuang's face suddenly turned ugly to the naked eye...
