Chapter 68: Don't Eat......
"I know there must be a lot of people watching me right now. ”
"I must be working hard, trying hard to keep myself alive. ”
“……”
The voice of a slight cry echoed in my mind again through the layers of blocked fragments.
He Chuan lay on the sofa, tilted his head, closed his eyes and faced the ceiling.
After a long time, he put the beer aside, got up from the couch, and walked to the window.
Outside the window, the night was still spreading.
The light of the lamp shines through the dark curtain and imprints it into his eyes.
Meow.
After eating the cat food, Rajiao stepped over to him.
As if sensing his mood, La Jiao stretched out her paws and pulled the scarf hanging from He Chuan's waist.
He Chuan didn't move.
He looked at the colors, as if he had traveled through time, and saw the girl again.
See...... The raging flames.
The wind blew through the screen window into the house.
He Chuan shuddered suddenly, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
He came back to his senses, glanced at Spice, and bent down to stroke it on the head.
"Sleep. ”
He Chuan said.
He turned off the lights and lay down on the couch.
Looking at the mottled black shadow on the ceiling, I don't know what comes to mind.
The next day, He Chuan woke up on time.
I came home too late last night and there was no rice in the rice cooker.
He Chuan took La Jiao to the store to open the door, and then packed two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge at the breakfast shop next door.
It cost a total of five dollars.
The boss thoughtfully gave him a small bag of pickles, packed it in a plastic bag, and put it together with the bun.
After eating breakfast in the store, He Chuan turned on his mobile phone.
Ying Fei sent him several messages, some from last night and some today.
The latest message was sent at 8 o'clock in the morning, and Ying Fei said that she had gotten up and was going to look for a house first.
Her house over there must not be lived.
There is such a thing, even if Fu Yanjie is locked up in the end, Ying Fei will also leave a shadow on the house.
She plans to take a day out today to take a look at the house nearby, and then ask He Chuan to help move things together after settling on the house.
After He Chuan finished reading it, he replied: "Okay." ”
Putting the phone aside, He Chuan picked up the kettle on the table and went to boil the kettle.
Recently, the weather in Rongcheng has been a little abnormal, and just sitting in the store, there is a feeling of coolness.
After the water was boiled, He Chuan made a cup of black tea.
With the hot black tea in his stomach, He Chuan finally felt that his whole body was warm.
"Boss, I'm coming. Peng Jiayi's voice sounded at the door of the store.
He Chuan looked up and saw Peng Jiayi twisting a pet bag and pushing the door from the outside.
The pet bag is a bit big, looking at the volume, it should be used to put adult big cats, and the little orange is staggering in it, and he can't stand.
Peng Jiayi had a smile on her face, and as soon as she entered the store, she put the bag on the ground and took Xiao Tang out of it.
MIU!
Xiao Tang was grabbed by Peng Jiayi and screamed angrily.
Finally struggling to fall to the ground, it sniffed around for a while, until it saw Lajiao, so it ran towards Lajiao happily.
La Jiao subconsciously stood up from He Chuan's feet, jumped up, jumped onto the chair, and looked down at Xiao Tang condescendingly.
Tachibana wants to go up, but she doesn't know how.
You can only circle around the legs of the chair.
"You're looking very happy today, and something good has happened. He Chuan took a sip of black tea and said lightly.
"Ah, am I so obvious?" Peng Jiayi looked surprised.
He Chuan nodded.
As soon as she entered the room, she had a lingering smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth were almost up to her ears.
Even fools can see that something good must have happened.
"Ah, it's a good thing, I finally applied for the job yesterday!" Peng Jiayi said excitedly.
Two months, two whole months!
Since returning to Rongcheng after the Chinese New Year, Peng Jiayi has not been to work for two whole months!
When I used to go to work, I thought about resting and taking a vacation every day.
But suddenly she didn't work for two months, and she felt like she was panicking, and she was worried every day.
No way, she's really short of money.
As soon as you open your eyes every day, you have to start thinking about whether you have earned today's rent and food today.
There are also phone bills, water and electricity bills, gas bills, transportation bills, cat food, cat litter, canned cat food......
Oh yes, it's summer.
I still have to buy a few pairs of hot pants and a t-shirt, and there are not enough cosmetics, and she hasn't put on a mask for a long time.
Because of money, she couldn't even eat.
When she was tidying up the house the other day, she pulled out a scale that she hadn't used in a long time.
She bought this scale and used it once when she opened the box.
That time, she glanced at the number on it and immediately threw it under the bed to eat the ashes.
Now the profiteers are really getting more and more excessive, and even the scales have to be faked.
Does she look like she's as fat as a hundred pounds!
But this time she stood up again and found that she was really thinner than before!
I lost a full ten pounds!
Oh my God, I've got a job again, I've lost weight again, it's a double happiness!
From last night until now, her whole being is immersed in a state called "happiness".
Finally, I don't have to worry about not being able to pay the rent and buy cat food.
I didn't realize that having a stable job was such a happy thing.
He Chuan picked up the teacup and took another sip.
He had become accustomed to the startled changes of young people now.
Maybe one second you were crying, the next second you didn't know what you saw, and you laughed like a fool.
This kind of jumping mood swings, he had only experienced in a mental hospital before.
But now this mood swing has become very frequent.
More and more young people are being invaded by various games, self-media, and short video platforms, and they can't control their emotions.
Almost every minute, every second, mood swings are happening.
It feels like drinking Coke one second, drinking vinegar the next, and eating the next......
This is also why He Chuan has no friends.
He can't just pull a person and tell him, don't get in touch with a little bit of fragmented things, don't always eat......
When Peng Jiayi came back to her senses and looked at the time, she suddenly exclaimed: "Oh no, I'm going to be late, boss, I'll go first." ”
After saying that, she pushed open the door in a panic and trotted all the way to the subway station.
He Chuan picked up the cup and paused.
He originally wanted to say something to Peng Jiayi, but he didn't expect her to run away so quickly.
Forget it, let's talk about it next time.
After making this decision, He Chuan picked up a book from the table, flipped to the place where he had read it last time, and continued to read.
In a flash, the morning has passed.
In the afternoon, after He Chuan finished eating, he took another nap and didn't get up from his chair until about half past one.
As soon as the pot of hot water was stored and ready to make a new cup of tea, there was a knock on the door of the shop.
An old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, holding a dirty cat, stood in the doorway.
"Excuse me, can I bathe the cat here?" the old lady asked softly after glancing at the store and seeing He Chuan.
