God said I would meet you

Moving is a big decision.

Lin Jinyu likes to try new things, but she has always been very nostalgic for daily necessities, especially the place where she lives. Therefore, when Zhang Xinli first mentioned moving, he disagreed.

"If you leave the house, you can get one month's rent back as an emergency," Zhang Xinli said, "If you change your address, those harassers will not be able to find them for a while, and you can solve two problems at once. This is the best way at present. "

It seems to be the truth, but...

"Let's not say that if the contract is breached, the deposit and the remaining rent will not be refunded," Lin Jinyu questioned: "Even if it is refunded, the rent will not be paid if the house is changed, and the refunded money will not be worth the new rent."

"Find a cheaper one, try to negotiate," Zhang Xinli said, "I need it urgently, there is no other way."

They are really penniless, and they are really urgent, otherwise they won't be able to eat tomorrow.

Lin Jinyu looked around and saw this small house, although not spacious, but beautifully decorated, complete with washing machine and refrigerator, and was very reluctant to part with it.

This is a small place that he has chosen from many rented houses after traveling countless miles. When he first stepped here, he had infinitely beautiful visions for the future life of the two of them.

"Then... go and ask," Lin Jinyu compromised in the face of reality after looking at every part of the house: "I don't know if they will let you leave early, you can figure it out."

Finding a new house is a very troublesome and exhausting task, but the work unit will not extrajudicially favor them and give them extra vacations just because they have personal affairs. Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli can only take extra time to go around after get off work run around.

This time, Zhang Xinli was in charge of both parties. The landlord really didn't agree to check out at the beginning. If it was changed to Lin Jinyu, who didn't like to be bothered, he would give up immediately, but Zhang Xinli didn't, They said they could not cancel the rent in advance, but he insisted on it, and his attitude was very firm and tough. After more than ten times of tug-of-war, the other party let go.

"It can still be like this," Lin Jinyu saw him negotiating, and felt that she really didn't have the ability: "It's so boring, I don't even bargain for the price when I buy something, I really can't do this."

"Businessman, what you earn is your money, and you will fight for every penny. If you don't bargain, you will easily get taken advantage of." The buyer is never cheerful: "You have enough and you are kind, so you can ignore it."

"I think I should care now," Lin Jinyu sighed, "I can only miss the past."

The new house is farther away from the urban area, but it is closer to the unit than before. They cannot afford to rent alone. Zhang Xinli found a shared room in an old community. A second bedroom costs 2000 yuan a month. A deposit is made, and the rent is paid in the middle of each month.

They packed up all their things, rented a small tricycle gang for 50 yuan, and took them to the new place, which was officially moved.

……

a few days later.

"Lin Jinyu, you can finish reading this later, sort it out and send it to the finance department, and..."

In the office, Zhou Hui was discussing work matters with him. Lin Jinyu still had an unfinished PPT, and without turning her head, she said to him, "Put it there, I'll read it tomorrow, and hurry up today."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Hui felt that he was always sneaky after get off work these days: "You have accumulated a lot of work these days."

"I know," Lin Jinyu was exhausted from moving these few days: "I can't help it, my cousin is here today, I have to go back early."

"Your cousin?" Zhou Hui recalled that Lin Jinyu had mentioned it during the sleep talk at school: "Oh, hurry up, or you might get accused."

"Well," Lin Jinyu clicked save, turned off the computer, chinned Zhang Xinli, stood up with her things, and said to Zhou Hui, "Have a nice weekend."

There were employees coming off work in twos and threes at the entrance of the unit. Lin Jinyu and Zhang Xinli didn't dare to go out in a fair manner. They stood far away and observed for a while, and they saw those "old acquaintances" squatting beside the security room.

"What should I do?" Lin Jinyu was extremely annoyed: "Every day is like hiding from the plague god, enough is enough."

The number of these people is sometimes large and sometimes small, and they come to block him every now and then, threatening him to take money. Lin Jinyu was blocked once, and the cash on her body was stolen—fortunately, the financial power is now in the hands of Zhang Xinli. The group of people squatted for a long time and squatted for dozens of yuan, their faces turned green with anger.

"This is still a small fight." Zhang Xinli was thinking about what to do: "If you owe more than one hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands, I probably have to threaten to cut off your fingers."

Lin Jinyu laughed bitterly: "It's a good thing we're not married, so we don't count as joint debts, otherwise you would be on the list too."

Zhang Xinli said indifferently: "Whatever you want, come if you dare to block."

The gate was not wide at first, and the group of people watched it very closely, their eyes fixed on this side, not letting go of any figure who went out. Men, do you still have to learn from middle school students and climb over the wall at work?

"It's too narrow, it's hard to walk," Zhang Xinli scanned the circle, "It would be great if someone came..."

"Who's here?" Lin Jinyu said, "Aren't you an old man who blocked the road and robbed you? Help me quickly."

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhang Xinli said displeased, "When did I block the road and rob?"

Seeing his frown, Lin Jinyu thought that he would have snatched it when she was in middle school, so she rounded her mouth and said, "Stolen my heart... vomit, it's disgusting."

Zhang Xinli immediately stopped frowning.

At this moment, Zhou Hui, who had finished his work and was about to go home after get off work, happened to pass by here. Zhang Xinli's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Lin Jinyu, "Call him over."

"What?" Lin Jinyu didn't know why, but still called Zhou Hui over. Zhou Hui was in a daze, not knowing what they were doing.

After Zhang Xinli talked to him like this, Zhou Hui hesitated to speak, and said, "Why do I always feel that... you two are not right recently, you two... do you owe usury? Campus loan?"

"No, what usury," Lin Jinyu said, "Help me."

Zhou Hui scratched his head and walked out the door, pretending to recognize the mustache who asked him about the commute time last time, went up to him and asked him if he had found Lin Jinyu.

Zhang Xinli pulled Lin Jinyu and slipped away among the crowd.

The little cousin drove over at about seven o'clock, and Zhang Xinli was not allowed to ask for leave. Lin Jinyu went downstairs to pick up someone by himself. When the little cousin saw him, the first sentence he asked was: "Why are you alone? Who is that? You were actually asked to be alone." People come, isn't it too outrageous."

Ordinary friends are of course not obliged to go downstairs to greet them, but as a person who has such an "in-depth communication" relationship with his cousin, it is not polite to meet a relative here formally for the first time. Remembering Zhang Xinli's name, Lin Jinyu said in a tone like a mother's family picking on her son-in-law, "He goes to work, little cousin, it's not what you think."

The little cousin muttered: "Everyone has a job, as if no one has one. If you are serious, you should ask for leave no matter how busy you are."

"?" Lin Jinyu said, "What serious?"

The little cousin hurriedly said: "Nothing."

As a blood relative, the little cousin still cared about him very much. Lin Jinyu took him upstairs, and he kept asking how his cousin was doing after he left home.

"That's it," Lin Jinyu helped him with his backpack, keeping his eyes on the whole way, and briefly described all the things he experienced after leaving the house. At the end, he said, "I... am fine."

An understatement of "very good" made the little cousin look complicated, he said: "Brother... I have some words that you may not like to hear..."

The shared house is in an unrenovated old-fashioned community. This place is commonly known as an old and dilapidated small house. A couple lives in the second bedroom next door, and an office worker lives in the master bedroom. No one wants to clean the public area. Lin Jinyu opened the door, and the little cousin came in, looked around, and the more he looked, the deeper his frown became.

"It's a bit messy just now, brother, sit down." Lin Jinyu washed a cup and poured water for him: "He will come back at night."

The little cousin took the water, pulled him to sit next to him, and said: "Don't be too busy, look at you, I haven't seen you for a year, and I feel thinner."

"It's okay," Lin Jinyu said, "Why are you here this time?"

"Just look at you." As the first family member who knew that Lin Jinyu was gay, he felt that he had a heavy responsibility: "How are you... with him?"

"Very good," Lin Jinyu drank his own saliva, "You came here to ask this?"

"Very good?" The little cousin glanced at the furnishings in the room again: "I really can't tell whether he treats you well... You are too shabby here."

This place is really too dilapidated, a cramped old community, no greenery, poor sound insulation, tight parking spaces, low floors, ground tide, and no elevator. When he came up, he could smell a lingering mold in the corridor taste.

"Living in a rented house can never be compared to living at home," Lin Jinyu said, "It's normal."

The little cousin was very puzzled, is this the picky little cousin he used to be, who would leave if he didn't want to shake his face in the slightest, why did he look like he was pua?

He really can't understand what's so good about being with a man, and... it's okay to be together, as long as the other party has financial strength and can provide a good life, it's fine, but it seems that they don't live well.

Lin Jinyu was still saying: "...You also know that I have fallen out with my parents. Now he is paying the rent and living expenses, and I am the one who is holding back. When he comes back, I will introduce you. You will know when you meet. He's pretty good."

"It's because of him that you fell out with my uncle, and he shouldn't give you money." The two of them were actually turning their elbows inward crazily, but they didn't know it: "Brother, think about it, if you don't follow He engages in that... homosexuality. Although your monthly living expenses are not much, why do you let you live like this? I called him before, and he swore that he would take good care of you. I believed it, but you see .”

Lin Jinyu used to have fixed living expenses of about three or four thousand a month, plus the mobile red envelopes that his parents sent out on a whim from time to time. He heard that he was unhappy, and said: "He is really doing his best to take care of me, brother, why do you always criticize him? , You didn’t come here to persuade me to break up, did you?”

"No... no," the little cousin said, "Homosexuality is not illegal, and I'm not a brother-in-law. You're in your 20s. It's not up to you to decide how you live. I'm just worried that you're not doing well."

This environment had a big impact on him. Before he came here, he couldn't imagine that Lin Jinyu would accept such a living environment.

"That's it," Lin Jinyu said, "I know in my own mind whether I'm doing well or not."

The little cousin said in his heart: Men are very stupid when they like people, just because they are afraid that you will be carried away and don't know what to do.

He took out his wallet and started counting the bills: "I have nothing to help you, you take this money first..."

"What," Lin Jinyu said hastily, "No, no, no, we are of the same generation, so it's not suitable. Besides, you still have a car loan and a house loan. How dare I ask you for money if I haven't graduated yet."

"Take it," said the little cousin, "It's because I'm working that I give you the money. You take it, and you can buy whatever you want. You don't have to worry about me... Then my uncle also contributed to the down payment, How can you be so relieved?"

"What is there to worry about?" Lin Jinyu said, "He no longer recognizes me."

"How is it possible, brother, that's your father, you are his son, how could my uncle deny you."

Lin Jinyu said: "Don't comfort me, the facts are right in front of you."

The little cousin was a little hesitant to say: "... Sigh, don't be foolish, my uncle is old, and he may not be as accepting of men dating men as we are, but no matter what, he cares about you. of."

Months of endless torment, questioning, endless running to the hospital, quarrels, broken dishes... Scenes of extremely disgusting memories emerged in Lin Jinyu's mind, making him disgusted With impatience, he would rather die than endure that torture again: "Okay," he said, "Stop talking, I'm too lazy to listen."

The little cousin was very helpless and anxious: "How can I explain to my uncle...you..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jinyu suddenly looked over and asked, "What account...who are you explaining to?"

"..." The little cousin waved his hand: "No...not..."

Lin Jinyu stared at him and said, "I said, why did you suddenly call and ask where we are... You told my dad everything? Brother, I clearly told you not to say it!"
