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

Su Ran hesitated for a long time before answering Xu Tianna's call. His voice was a little lower than usual, and he asked, "Have you finished get off work?"

"Well, you haven't finished get off work yet?"

"I'm getting ready to finish work too."

"Oh, where is your company? I'll pick you up. I'll help you move today, and I'll have one thing on my mind."

Su Ran smiled and said, "You're so enthusiastic about helping me move, but are you afraid that I'll keep pestering you?"

"The word 'pestering' is quite appropriate. I just asked you where your company is, and you haven't answered me yet."

Su Ran was stunned for a moment, and replied, "I'll go to Zhuomei to find you. The rice noodles downstairs in Zhuomei are good. I'll treat you today as a thank you for your hard work in helping me move."

"Okay, then come over. I'll wait for you at the door of the rice noodle shop."

Su Ran responded, and then the two hung up the phone one after another. He put his mind in order for the time being, picked up his backpack and left the company.

Arriving at the north gate of Zhuomei Shopping Center, Xu Tianna was already waiting at the door of the rice noodle shop. Today, she was not wearing any makeup, but she was still beautiful enough to move people's hearts. It was the peak shopping season, and passers-by looked at her sideways, attracted by her beauty. After all, in this era, natural beauties are really scarce.

However, Su Ran was not the kind of person who would be easily attracted by her beauty. Since the day he first met her, he felt that her beauty had nothing to do with him. He was only concerned about whether she would allow him to stay in that room. But in the end, he still moved out.

If it is far-fetched, his moving out of that house was also a compromise with reality. Although he had lived there for more than two years and Xu Tianna had been there for less than a month, her name was on the property certificate, so the person who moved out could only be him. This had nothing to do with the length of residence or the depth of feelings. It was purely a helpless move under the pressure of reality.

Perhaps Su Ran was indeed an idealist, so he imposed the status of tenant on Xu Tianna based on the length of residence, and felt that it was reasonable. Now it seems that he is the real tenant, and he is not even a tenant, after all, Xu Tianna, as the property owner, never agreed to let him rent.

Su Ran walked up to Xu Tianna, and the two looked at each other silently, as if they didn't have a quarrel, and they didn't know where to start.

Su Ran finally asked, "How long have you been waiting?"

"Not long, let's go, there's almost no room in the store." Xu Tianna said and looked behind her.

Su Ran nodded, rushed to the rice noodle shop before Xu Tianna, and for the first time in his life, he opened the glass door for her very gentlemanly. Xu Tianna looked at him with a little surprise, but still said "thank you" politely, and then walked into the store.

Xu Tianna found an empty seat and sat down, and Su Ran went to order food. After waiting in line for a long time, he asked for two bowls of rice noodles and some snacks, and sat down opposite Xu Tianna with the receipt and the waiting list.

They had been eating at this rice noodle restaurant for two consecutive days. Su Ran couldn't help but ask Xu Tianna, who was sitting across from him, in a bored manner: "You like rice noodles, but is it because your name is Xu Tianna?"

Xu Tianna glanced at him and didn't respond. She just took a sip from her teacup, obviously unwilling to pay attention to this boring question.

Su Ran smiled and didn't care. He had long been accustomed to her indifferent attitude towards him, although on rare occasions, they could barely be considered ordinary friends.

After a while, the ordered meals were brought by the waiter. Xu Tianna only ordered a portion of rice noodles, and the rest of the snacks were pushed in front of Su Ran.

Su Ran pushed the chicken legs and dried tofu in front of her and said, "You have to help me move later. It's physical work, so you have to eat more."

"I'm only responsible for driving. Besides, you have a lot of stuff? Last time you moved, I saw you dragging and dragging everything by yourself, and you moved everything in one go."

Su Ran recalled the scene when he fled because he had no money to pay back Xu Tianna. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I just found an excuse to let you eat more, so that I can see what you look like after you get fat. Maybe you won't be as beautiful as you are now."

"Your mind is really 'evil'. But I'm sorry to tell you that I can't get fat."

Looking at Xu Tianna's slightly smug expression when she said she couldn't get fat, Su Ran smiled sincerely. Although she often appears indifferent, she also has a childlike innocence. The childlike innocence she inadvertently revealed just shows that she has no more defenses against herself. Perhaps the conflicts and unhappiness between them all started with that house.

After the meal, Su Ran and Xu Tianna went to Robben's place. Su Ran didn't have much stuff, so he wanted her to wait downstairs, but she insisted on going upstairs with him, and even carried a few light bags as much as she could. Her hypocritical behavior proved that she was a kind woman. No wonder Ban Dad only saw her twice and concluded that she was a good girl.

Arriving at the new residence, Su Ran simply cleaned the room, and Xu Tianna helped him make the bed at the same time. Su Ran felt very sorry, and remembered that he had rudely thrown her quilt and blanket downstairs not long after they first met. Although it was for venting at the time, now comparing the behavior of the two, he suddenly felt ashamed.

After packing up, Su Ran went downstairs to the beverage store to buy two cups of hot juice despite being tired. He handed one of the cups to Xu Tianna, and moved a chair for her to sit down and rest. Seeing this, Xu Tianna couldn't help wondering if he was going to use "sugar-coated bullets" again, and then regret it, and shamelessly asked to move back to that room again. In fact, she misunderstood. Su Ran just felt deeply guilty for being rude to her in the past and hiding it from her at this moment.

Xu Tianna only drank half of the juice, and then put it on the coffee table, and said with a sense of relief: "Your business is done, I should go."

"Oh, be careful on the road."

"Yeah." Xu Tianna responded and picked up her handbag.

Su Ran opened the door for her and said: "If you have any difficulties in the future, call me at any time, and I will definitely help you."

Xu Tianna nodded, turned around and walked out. Su Ran said again: "If you want to eat home-cooked meals, you can come to my place and I will cook for you. This place is also close to your company."

"Got it." Xu Tianna didn't look back, but her tone was no longer so indifferent. Su Ran understood that she was not perfunctory. Maybe she would come one night and enjoy the dinner he made himself, including porridge, rice, and a few simple home-cooked dishes.

Xu Tianna walked away, and Su Ran looked at her back, feeling mixed emotions. Perhaps Mi Zhongde was about to implement a power conspiracy. If he continued to conceal it, even if he told Xu Tianna in the future, she would not have much time to deal with it.

Xu Tianna had entered the elevator and disappeared from Su Ran's sight. The words of his father asking him to treat Xu Tianna well suddenly appeared in his mind, causing him to fall into painful torment again. In this constant torment, Su Ran finally couldn't bear it anymore, and gritted his teeth and said to himself: "I want to be myself, the one who is regarded as an alien by others but has principles and perseverance. Even if it means fighting against reality, even if I may lose a lot, I can't go against my conscience. I want to find my own direction in this vortex of complex human nature and reality. Even if the road ahead is full of thorns, I will move forward bravely to protect the justice and kindness in my heart."
