Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

At my persistent request, Xiao Ping helped me build a simple bed on the sofa—even though Xiao Ping said he didn't care, I still didn't want to share a bed with him, let alone let him sleep on the sofa because of me.

Xiao Ping was still a little embarrassed: "Why don't you sleep in the bedroom and let you sleep in the living room. If this news gets out, I will be ashamed in the future."

After settling me down, Xiao Ping went out, and he was still in a hurry to deliver the car to his partner.I stayed in the house alone and took a good rest for a day. From the day after tomorrow, I had to find a job again.

Of course, there is another most difficult and severe task for me - to call Ren Min.

I dawdled and watched the TV channel twice from beginning to end, and ate two apples and a sausage by the way. In the end, I was helpless. In the spirit of early death and early death, I resolutely picked up the phone.

If I go all out, I really need to be brave, isn't I just Ren Min?Not a murderer.

After the call was dialed out, there was a "beep" waiting tone. As I listened, all the courage in my heart turned into nervousness, and I hoped that it would be best for Ren Min not to answer the phone, so that I could at least delay for a few more hours .

Unfortunately, the phone was connected on the sixth ring.Ren Min's familiar voice called out my name directly: "Really, you finally called. I have been waiting for a long time."

I squeezed the phone tightly, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm sorry, I actually came back yesterday, because it was too late and I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I called you today."

"Oh, is that so?" There was a hint of a smile in Ren Min's voice: "Really, I'm very happy, you are still considerate of me."

Gritting my teeth and resisting his desire, I told myself that it doesn't matter if I give up to Ren Min in this kind of irrelevant verbal dispute.With nothing else to say, I said goodbye to him and wanted to hang up.

"Wait, I still have something to say," Ren Min stopped me: "Really, you said it yourself at the beginning, and you will let me know that you are back in ten days. Now it is a day late, and we haven't said anything yet. How should I punish you?"

My hands froze, and my heart was full of irritability, so I simply asked him in a broken jar: "Then what do you want? I waited for the car in the heavy rain in order to be able to come back yesterday, but the car was off duty and I was soaked." I sat in the air-conditioned bus for five or six hours, and finally caught a cold and had a fever, what do you think of me?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Ren Min's voice became serious: "Really, why didn't you tell me when something like this happened? How did you deal with it last night?"

I curled my lips, of course I couldn’t tell you last night, I was neither strong nor conscious at that time, if I fell into your hands… I was so slandering in my heart, I rolled my eyes and made up a lie: “I moved at that time It’s over, luckily the people at the station used my mobile phone to call a friend, and he took me in for a night, and I’m almost fine now.”

"Friend?" Ren Min paused and asked, "Is that Xiao Ping?"

Hearing him mention Xiao Ping, my heart immediately became aroused: "How do you know? Don't think about it, he is not a member of this circle, we are just buddies, you must not do anything harmful to him .”

"Really, is this the kind of person I am in your heart? Others took care of you, instead of thanking them, I hurt him instead. Is that how you see me?" Ren Min's voice was a bit bitter.

I sighed silently, Ren Min, this matter is too complicated, I know I can’t blame you, but in my memory you did such a thing... Those memories are too deep, I can’t control myself Think like that.

After being quiet for a while, Ren Min asked me again: "Really, are you living at your friend's house now? Where do you plan to live in the future, do you want... Would you like to move in and live with me?"

"No need!" Without any time to think, my first reaction was to reject him immediately: "I have already asked my friend to help me find a house. I plan to live alone in the future. I will be more comfortable and don't bother you."

At times like this, I couldn't care less about my tone of voice. I only had one thought in my head, which was to hold on, not to compromise, let alone be confused by him, and finally lose myself.

Ren Min laughed again, and said: "I knew you wouldn't agree, but I still want to ask you again. I can't give up if I don't listen to you personally...Okay, you find a house to live in, and pay attention to safety. If you have any trouble, you can come to me at any time."

I didn't expect to pass the test so easily. I was a little stunned for a while, and I heard what he seemed to say again, but I couldn't concentrate at all.

I didn't fully wake up until he hung up the phone, and I felt a burst of relief in my heart.

Although I don't know what Ren Min plans to do, and with his personality, maybe he will play hard to get, but after all, he doesn't have to live with him now, and he doesn't have to worry about seeing him up and down, which is a blessing after all.

I barely slept on the sofa all night, and when I woke up the next day, I had two big dark circles on my face.I didn't know that I slept so badly. I fell off the sofa three times in one night, and once my toe hit the ground, it swelled up quite a lot.

Xiao Ping was going to drive today and left the house very early.After I slowly finished the breakfast he left for me, I went around his house to find the network cable, and then took out my small notebook and started looking for a job online.

I chatted up a few friends who work in the media, and they all said that they would go to the personnel department to ask for me.Although I know there is little hope, at least it is better than nothing.Afterwards, I found some newspaper recruitment information. I hurriedly found the contact email above, polished up my resume and sent it over.

After all this was done, I was free again.I went to the living room to look through my luggage, found my wallet and passbook, looked at my few savings, and started to make a budget for the future.

The money around me should be enough to pay the deposit after I found the house and the rent for the first three months, but the rest is only enough to live on tight.So, in order not to sit still, if I can't find a job as a reporter, then maybe I'll have to force myself to find a subsistence job at random.

Thinking of this, my mood turned bad again, and I felt like I was going to betray myself.

The phone rang suddenly, and a series of familiar numbers were displayed on the screen.

I pressed the connect button in some confusion, not knowing who the caller was - there were only a few people's numbers stored in this number, and the only people who knew this number were Ren Min and Xiao Xiao. peace with my parents.

"Hello? Hello, who can I ask..." Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by a loud voice: "Ye Shuzhen, what's the matter with you, you are late on the first day of reinstatement? Or are you not going to come?" Are you at work?"

ah?I blinked, more confused.
