I had a very down time. A lonely woman finds a way to make a living in an unfamiliar city. There are no classmates and old friends who can be contacted, all assets are a bank card with less than 3,000 deposits, and a backpack with personal necessities. In the bag is a pair of changing underwear, a file that records the gains and losses of my past work experience, and a formal suit for interviews. And a few bucks for the bus ride in his pocket.
I think I'm talented and capable, and it won't be too hard to find a decent job. But finding a decent and affordable place to live in a city that isn't anyone's home has really stumped me. In desperation, I shamelessly went to the kind-hearted girl Sun. Because I know that a kind person, no matter what, will not reject a downhearted person.
Miss Sun lives in a private house full of tenants. That's the kind of place where the stench spreads for days in a row before discovering a dead person in the house. A lonely woman like me, who is in full bloom, is afraid to avoid it. Miss Sun is not afraid, because Miss Sun has a boyfriend. If you want to save money and feel safe living abroad, living with your boyfriend is a better reason.
Miss Sun told me that she did not love him, and all her friends and colleagues around her felt that her boyfriend was unworthy of her. But he loves her. After experiencing the betrayal of his ex-boyfriend, he was always by her side to accompany her and comfort her. What moved Miss Sun the most was that when she had a showdown with him and said that her fallopian tubes were blocked and that she might be infertile, he said that as long as she was with her, it didn't matter if she had no children. So they came together.
Miss Sun said that after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, she took a few changes of clothes and went out of the house, and desperately needed a place to live. She took a leave of absence to move between private rental houses, and she couldn't find a place to live after blowing up the phone. At that time, she felt like a stray dog abandoned by her owner, without even a roof to protect her from the wind and rain. She really hopes that someone can claim her and bring her a bowl of hot soup, and she will follow him with all her heart.
When she was exhausted and sitting in a fast food restaurant not knowing where to go, he, who had not yet become a boyfriend, found her. Because she didn't go to work, he spent the whole day inquiring about her. Then she followed him into his house, and he cooked her a bowl of instant noodles. Then she followed him.
I have dealt with Miss Sun's ex-boyfriend. He was a high-spirited person, and his shy smile couldn't cover up his excellent light, but he was even more arrogant; and the current boyfriend, in addition to nagging her He was so attentive and thoughtful, I really can't say anything good.
Miss Sun said that she once believed in love. When she was reduced to a dog, she realized that love is not as reliable as a bowl of dog food, not to mention that it is the top grade of dog food - a bone.
I do not know what to say. I myself am just a dog sleeping on the floor of her living room, and I crave not only bones, but kennels.
I should be envious of her. But after hearing her story, I couldn't envy at all.
In a period of struggling youth, in an unfamiliar city, in a story with nowhere to put, love exists like a god, never as real as a warm nest and a meal of dog food that can fill the stomach.

After the new job was implemented, the boss wanted to rent out the old house, and the price environment was satisfactory, so he moved in. When I first arrived, the landlord is also the boss. I didn’t dare to mention that there was no mattress on the bed. I lay on the hard and thorny bed plank all night, and the next day I was covered in bruises.
Facts have proved that the relationship between work and life will not be good. Bald bosses often come into the room under various excuses without saying hello, regardless of the time of day. After a know-it-yourself game, I offered to move.
In this city, it is a very painful thing for a single woman to find a house. I couldn't afford to live in a single apartment, and I couldn't figure out how to share with others, so I accidentally entered the "mistress village" when I was looking for a private house. For various reasons, I moved three times in just one month. The house rented out in this city is really just a bare house. Bed frames, mattresses, stools, and tables must be added one by one. Unfortunately, I often encounter uncles and uncles who are moving people who are watching the dishes, and things like sitting on the ground and raising prices often happen. So every time I move, I have to fight hard, and every time I find a new house, I dare not buy new items willfully.
Whenever this happens, I always think: It would be great if I could have a boyfriend to rely on like Miss Sun!
Until later, I pointed to my head and said: When you move next time, if a man proposes to you with a house, whether it is rented or bought, you must agree!
Some words are only suitable for rotting in the stomach, and they will be struck by lightning if they are spoken.
As soon as I finished speaking, an old classmate who had followed me for many years miraculously reappeared in front of me. He is my junior high school classmate. The seats were either behind me or in front of me. For three years of junior high school, I have been within the sight of his eyes. It is said that he quietly studied me for a long time. It wasn't until college that he confided his true intentions to me.
He is a humble gentleman who smiles every day. In the years when I was out of his sight, he could always find women who looked like me or had a temperament like me; there was a time when I was obsessed with Kiroro's songs, and he sent me an e-mail from thousands of miles away. Tree"; I said that I would read "A Dream of Red Mansions" every summer, and he began to study the theory of red, and the insights he came up with were refreshing to me. He was the first person I could talk to about my literary dream. But that's about it.
When he came up to me again, he made a very tempting suggestion - share a room with me. In that unfamiliar city, having a partner to rent together means that you can find a larger house, a more convenient location, a more standardized community property management, a safer environment, and rely on anytime, anywhere.
This was a condition that I couldn't refuse at the time. I made a contract with him in three chapters. The first rule is to maintain the friendship of gentlemen and not to have any delusions.
The benefits of co-renting with someone are immediate. Almost instantly, I found a Ruyi two-bedroom in a Ruyi lot.
The two just moved in. Watching him sweating profusely adjusting the bed for me, I feel a little guilty for not being able to fall in love with him.
That night was the best night I've slept in in three months. It was only later that he realized that he had spent the most difficult night of his life sleeping in the next room.
The next day, he had a showdown and didn't want to abide by the three chapters. I said, let me move.
He asked: You are single anyway, what's wrong with me? Don't give me a chance.
I said: You are fine, I just don't want to be nice to you. Even if you are given a chance, it will fail you in the end, so why bother.
I have been obsessed with love all my life, just like I am obsessed with movies. As long as there is a movie that celebrates love, I will never give up.
I'm not as good as a dog, and I really want to gnaw on my bones, but it's not that I don't gnaw on my bones. I don't know where my bones are, there are 7 billion people in this world and there will always be one person who will look to me as much as I look to him. He should not be the final choice after I have tasted all the flavors and bones in the world, but when he appeared in front of me, I knew it was my favorite flavor as soon as I smelled it, and then I ran over and took the dog Forget the same days.
