Chapter 3 Borrowing Money

"Xiao Geng!

As soon as he entered the gate, Geng Zhiyuan heard someone shouting at him in the distance. He hurriedly stopped to take a look, and a hunched man in his thirties was waving to him in front of the office building in the north.

This person Geng Zhiyuan vaguely recognized that it was Jia Rui, a colleague in the craft room. He didn't dare to snub the old comrade, so he walked a few steps to him and nodded and smiled: "Jia Gong, you called me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you for something. Jia Rui took a puff of his cigarette, swallowed the clouds and said, "Lend me ten yuan, and I'll buy a pack of cigarettes." ”

Geng Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't say ten yuan now, not even five yuan: "Jia Gong, I have more than two yuan left on me, why don't you ask someone else?"

Jia Rui's face changed when he heard this, and he glanced up and down a few times and said, "Xiao Geng, why are you so stingy?

"Jia Gong, you misunderstood, I really don't have any money. Geng Zhiyuan saw that he had misunderstood himself, and hurriedly tried his best to explain.

"Don't say it!" Jia Rui pointed to the door angrily: "I saw you coming out of the commissary, if you don't have money, where did this instant noodles come from?"

Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly lit up the instant noodles in front of him and said, "Jia Gong, these two packs of instant noodles are only more than a dollar, I really ......"

"Okay!" Jia Rui waved his hand holding the cigarette, pointed at him and scolded angrily: "You kid, you are too slippery, it's really not authentic!"

"Jia Gong! Jia Gong! Listen to my explanation...... Geng Zhiyuan, as a newcomer who has just been admitted to the hospital, how dare he offend the old comrades of the same department. He took a few steps and wanted to explain, but Jia Rui ignored him with a cold face and swaggered into the office building.

"Alas, what is this?" Geng Zhiyuan sighed as he looked at Jia Rui's back.

My girlfriend ran away and accidentally offended my old colleague again, which is really worse, how will I live in the future?

Under the blows, his mood can be described as terrible.

The single dormitory of the design institute is located on the fourth floor of the auxiliary building, and it is co-ed and female...... Don't think about it, it's just that the men's and women's dormitories are on the same floor.

There is a bed and a desk per person in the single dormitory, and there are few entertainment facilities. In addition to sleeping, the bachelors in the design institute are willing to spend time in an office with air conditioning and computers.

Geng Zhiyuan's room is located in the southeast corner of the corridor, and when the door is opened, the room is empty. Yu Qinghe and Zhang Xin, who were in the same dormitory, probably went to their respective offices to be happy.

Yu Qinghe is a classmate of Geng Zhiyuan in college, and he is in the craft room like him. Zhang Xin graduated from Hefei University with a major in structural engineering and was assigned to the civil engineering office.

Although it was already eight o'clock in the evening, Geng Zhiyuan still had no appetite and did not feel hungry at all. He threw two packets of instant noodles on the table, picked up a cup and drank a few sips of water, took off his clothes and collapsed on the bed exhausted.

Looking up at the mottled ceiling above his head, Geng Zhiyuan truly realized that he had lost his beloved Rong'er forever, and he would never be able to return to the sweet years of the past, and he would no longer be able to tell his close lover his heartfelt feelings.

People are often reluctant to accept the painful fact and always want to think of it as a dream, and wake up and get back to the same place. It's just a pity that facts are facts, and they don't change because of the will of the individual.

"Alas!" Geng Zhiyuan said to himself helplessly: "Xiaoxue abandoned me two years ago, and today Rong'er left me again, can I Geng Zhiyuan be an upright man, can't I find a girl who really loves me?"

The Xiaoxue he said was his first girlfriend Yin Xue, the two of them were high school classmates, and they were admitted to Donghai University of Technology together. However, Yin Xue was only admitted to the junior college and majored in science and technology English.

The two people who originally knew each other cared for each other and warmed each other in a strange environment far from home, just like Xu Rong and Zhang Youwei, the two gradually developed a good impression in frequent contact, and finally developed into love.

The advantage of love on a college campus is that it is simple and sincere, without so much money and status factors. But compared with the love in real society, its shortcomings are also obvious, and the campus love that is only maintained by pure feelings is very fragile.

After graduation, Yin Xue was recruited into the Liangcheng Foreign Affairs Office. After joining the work, she increased her knowledge and broadened her horizons, and soon looked down on Geng Zhiyuan, who was still a student, and met her new boyfriend who worked at the TV station on a blind date behind his back.

The new boyfriend works as a director in a TV station, and he is mature and stable, but also has a lot of economic strength. He quickly conquered Yin Xue and easily crushed the poor student Geng Zhiyuan into powder.

Shortly after the start of the first semester of his junior year, Geng Zhiyuan unexpectedly received Yin Xue's breakup letter. It was the first time in his life that he fell out of love, and it took more than ten days of decadence to overcome his demons and get out of the trough.

It's a pity that soon after, he met Xu Rong, who fainted on the ground, and started a more sadistic relationship.

Mixed with memories of sadness and despair, Geng Zhiyuan lay on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Old Geng, wake up, wake up!" I don't know how long it took, the sleeping Geng Zhiyuan was suddenly woken up, he barely opened his sleepy eyes and saw that it was Yu Qinghe and Zhang Xin who stood in front of the bed and woke him up.

"Man, did you offend Jia Rui today?" Yu Qinghe asked with a smile when he saw him wake up.

"Jia Rui?" Geng Zhiyuan just woke up and was a little dazed, sat up and thought for a while: "Oh, that's the case. ”

He told him what had happened, and Zhang Xin patted his thigh and said, "Let me say, it's still a matter of borrowing money." ”

"Well, you're right. Yu Qinghe held his chin and pondered: "He also asked me if I borrowed money, it seems that I will not come back." ”

"What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand?" Geng Zhiyuan saw that what they said was clueless and a little confused.

Yu Qinghe laughed and said, "Just now I was playing a game with Lao Zhang, and Jia Rui suddenly came in and scolded you severely." After the guy was gone, the two of us wondered what was going on. Lao Zhang said that it must be Jia Rui who asked you to borrow money, but you didn't give it to him, but the result was true. ”

"I really don't have any money on me, how can I lend it to him?" Geng Zhiyuan said bitterly.

"You're glad you didn't give it to him, just don't give it to him. Zhang Xin said angrily: "This guy has borrowed from our newcomer, so I'll send you one." ”

"Borrowed it all?" Geng Zhiyuan frowned: "He also asked you to borrow it?"

"Borrowed, borrowed me twenty dollars, said it was to buy cigarettes. Zhang Xin stomped hard and said, "Twenty yuan is lost, what is it?"

"Forget it, he is an old comrade, ask us if we can borrow money, can we not give it back? Yu Qinghe was also borrowed ten yuan by Jia Rui, and he was secretly distressed.

"That's not good, I have to ask him for it, why should I give him my money for free. Zhang Xin was unconvinced.

"You...... Okay, you go and ask for it. If you can come back, tell me. Yu Qinghe heard others say that Jia Rui is famous in the design institute for not paying off his debts, and this kind of hob-like character is not afraid of them as new students. It's probably impossible to get the money back.

After Geng Zhiyuan woke up, he felt a little hungry in his stomach, he put on his clothes, took the thermos and rice bowl, and prepared bubble bags of instant noodles to satisfy his hunger.

Seeing this, Yu Qinghe wondered, "Didn't you go to your daughter-in-law? Why didn't you even eat?"

When he woke up, reason had triumphed over emotion, and Geng Zhiyuan's mentality had stabilized. He said abruptly: "Xu Rong and Zhang Youwei are getting along, and I'll be back." ”

"What!?" Yu Qinghe was taken aback and said in disbelief: "Zhang Youwei?"

"It's him!" Geng Zhiyuan nodded while making noodles.

"My God, is Xu Rong blind?" Compared with Zhang Youwei, Geng Zhiyuan can be said to be one in the sky and the other in the ground, the gap is huge, how could Xu Rong choose Lao Lu at the top of the list?

Yu Qinghe felt incredible, and was stunned for a while before carefully probing: "Then you...... Are you alright?"

"It's fine, but I'll have to ask you to borrow some money. Geng Zhiyuan covered his rice bowl and smiled at him.
