林薇看着眼前男人挺直的身姿和那双毫无波澜的眼睛，像是在看一块垃圾。她攥紧了拳头，指甲深深掐进掌心，却还是不敢出声。这男人是谁？怎么好像连呼吸都带着冷气。

男人 presses the umbrella she held, the one she stole, in her face. "The rent is 5,000 yuan. The due date is today." His voice was flat, devoid of any emotion, making it sound like he was talking about the price of apples.

A month's rent? Where did she find that much money? borrow from her grandmother? No, she remembered her grandmother was about to catch up on her medical bills. borrow from Ma Dongmei? Ma Dongmei was a miser, she would never lend money even if she had it.

A cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She could only bow her head and whisper: "I... I don't have it now. I can pay it next month."

The man sneered: "Next month? Every month you say next month. I don't believe you."

"Sir, I... I really want to pay it." Lin Wei knelt on the ground, her eyes full of tears. "I just... just need a little more time."

The man looked at her for a long time, then said: "If you are not willing to pay, then you can leave."
