Chapter 7: The Honest Fake Daughter (7)

It’s called a small room, but in fact there’s not even a bed.

It is so narrow that only one person can lie down, and there is no wardrobe or bedside table.

Having struggled on the poverty line since childhood, Zhang Xiyan knew how difficult it was for people at the bottom of society to survive. He never complained about the environment. Even if he had to sleep on the floor, it was good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

What's more, the rent here is the cheapest, and having someone to share the rent with also reduces expenses.

Zhang Xiyan didn't walk out of the room until the noise in the next room stopped for a long time and her roommate Fang Lian came over and knocked on the door.

Usually by this time, the man Fang Lian brought back had already left.

The only smell in the air was the perfume that Fang Lian had specially sprayed, which was very fresh.

"Xi Yan, sit with me for a while, I'm about to leave."

Sitting in the cramped living room, Fang Lian opened the cold lunch box, lit a cigarette familiarly, and said.

“Perhaps, I will never come to this city again.”

She blew out a smoke ring lightly, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was only a few years older than him, Zhang Xiyan suddenly felt a little sad. They all came to this city to pursue their dreams, but some got what they wanted, while others left sadly.

"Sister Lian, what are your plans for the future?" Zhang Xiyan asked with sincere concern.

"What plans do I have?" Fang Lian said self-deprecatingly, "I'll just go back to my hometown with my boyfriend and live off my parents, just eating and waiting to die!"

Zhang Xiyan thought about the fact that during the year they had shared the apartment, Fang Lian had brought home no less than ten of her boyfriends, and she wasn't sure which one she was talking about.

Fang Lian took the initiative to say, "I reconciled with my first love. Since we can't make a name for ourselves in the big city, we might as well go back to our hometown together. He is six years older than me, and he is not young anymore. His parents are forcing him to get married."

Zhang Xiyan nodded somewhat confusedly.

She didn't understand why Fang Lian was willing to reconcile with her cheating ex-boyfriend. It was obvious that with Fang Lian's good looks, she could find a better man to marry.

But that was their choice, and Zhang Xiyan couldn't say anything except to give her blessings.

Perhaps she was about to leave this city and was reluctant to leave. That night, Fang Lian wanted to talk more than ever before.

Zhang Xiyan listened until late at night before Fang Lian finally let her go and she returned to her room to rest.

The next afternoon, Fang Lian invited Zhang Xiyan and her friends to go out for drinks and karaoke as a final farewell.

Zhang Xiyan happened to be unemployed, so she agreed.

Zhang Xiyan was not unaccustomed to the clubs with their bright lights and wine. In order to earn money, she had worked in the kitchen, as a waitress, and as a resident singer in places like bars. However, she really did not like the noisy and bustling atmosphere of drunkenness and extravagance.

"Xiyan, don't just stand there, drink!" Fang Lian and her friends drank so much that they could hardly stand, but she didn't forget to pour wine for Zhang Xiyan. "We come from all over the world, and it's a great fate for us to be able to get together and become friends. Come on, today, let's not go home until we are drunk!"

Zhang Xiyan was infected by the atmosphere and her emotions were aroused. She drank one cup after another.

Yes, when I first arrived, all my money was defrauded by a black intermediary and I was about to starve to death on the street. It was Fang Lian, who I had met once, who kindly took me back.

At that time, Fang Lian said, "It just so happens that the girl I shared the apartment with moved out two days ago. If you have nowhere to go, why don't you stay and share the apartment with me? My room is bigger, I'll pay 60% of the rent, and we'll take turns cleaning the public areas."

Zhang Xiyan was extremely excited, but she was embarrassed because she had no money and no job, and she was afraid that she could not even pay the 40% rent.

Fang Lian said generously, "It's okay. You can keep the debt for now. What kind of job do you want? I've been here for many years. Maybe I can recommend one to you."

Hearing that being an actor can make money quickly, Zhang Xiyan wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but she was worried that she had no connections or background, and didn't know which way to go, so she was blind and was cheated by a black-hearted intermediary. A few days later, under Fang Lian's introduction, Zhang Xiyan joined the crew and became the fifth female role in a web drama. This web drama was filmed and broadcast on the Internet platform at the same time, and the response was good. Zhang Xiyan also had a chance to show her face.

After filming this web drama, Zhang Xiyan gained some experience and went to various crews to play supporting roles.

One lucky moment was when I was spotted by the director of a youth art film and played the short-lived white moonlight of the male protagonist in the drama. Although I didn't have many scenes and lines, it was a role that could easily go viral. Now I'm just waiting for it to be scheduled for broadcast.

She agreed to be a stand-in because Luo Wen gave her a lot of money and she needed a lot of money at that time, so she gritted her teeth and did it despite the hardship and fatigue.

Speaking of which, Zhang Xiyan found that after she resolutely dropped out of school and went out to make a living, many of the people she met were good people. Seeing that she was young, they were all willing to give her more help. Zhang Xiyan was so grateful that she drank too much without realizing it.

He didn't notice Fang Lian's clear-headed gaze.

"Brother Zheng, I have already got you the person you wanted."

……

At some point, Zhang Xiyan discovered that the noisy noise in the box had disappeared.

He raised his drunken eyes and looked around, only to see Fang Lian.

"Xi Yan, you are drunk. I will take you to the room upstairs to rest!"

Fang Lian said as she helped the drunken girl up from her seat and walked with her out of the box.

Zhang Xiyan was a little drunk, his limbs were limp, but his mind was still somewhat conscious.

"Sister Lian, it's very expensive to rent a room here... Let's go back to the dormitory and rest..."

Zhang Xiyan didn't want to spend unnecessary money. The money she saved would be of great use and couldn't be spent casually.

"Don't worry, you don't have to spend any money. I, Sister Lian, will pay for all the expenses today!"

Under Fang Lian's strong pull, Zhang Xiyan was brought into a dimly lit room in a daze.

Lying down on the big bed, Zhang Xiyan felt more and more that something was wrong with her body. Even though the air-conditioning in the room was turned on very high, she still felt very hot inside, and the little consciousness she had left was almost blurred by the heat.

Not far away, the sound of Fang Lian talking to a man could be heard faintly.

"Brother Zheng, you're here. The person is inside."

"Well, it's none of your business. You can go away."

"Brother Zheng, she is just an adult, still a virgin. You have to be careful and don't spoil her. Otherwise, she will hate me to death when she wakes up."

"Are you lecturing me on how to do things? Get out of here now, and don't let me slap you when the mood strikes me."

It seemed that both of them thought that Zhang Xiyan was unconscious from the influence of alcohol, so they did not deliberately lower their voices when speaking.

After being scolded by the man, Fang Lian dared not stay any longer. The tapping sound of her high heels disappeared as the door closed.

Zhang Xiyan had just reached adulthood, but had not just entered society. Considering her own abnormalities, even though she could not believe it, Zhang Xiyan knew what she was experiencing.

Sister Lian, who had always been very kind to her...

Why, why do you treat her like this...

Zhang Xiyan was angry and scared. No, she couldn't lose her virginity here. She had to find Fang Lian to find out!
However, the fat, greasy man has approached——
