Chapter 15: Crying in the middle of the night
A solitary night can be quite lonely, especially when the room is so quiet that you can only hear your own heartbeat, and that silence can be terrifying.
I was lying on this single bed, bored playing with my phone, guarding that dizzying little inch of screen.
The mobile phone screen is like a magic mirror, in that square inch, playing with the rights and wrongs of the whole world, it can be said that the online world is another world, we can pretend to be forced, we can evaluate others without knowing the real situation......
So, I rarely surf the Internet now, but gradually, boredom and loneliness make me unbearable, no matter what small video I watch, I can't expel the frustration in my heart, I always feel that it is someone else's scenery, that overwhelming splendor, I am at a loss.
I didn't have any news about Chen Yi, but she had Weibo, and I clicked on her Weibo homepage when I was bored, but the last news was half a year ago.
I'll admit that I miss her, and even though she betrayed me, she was still with my best brother, but I'm just cheap, and I still don't believe it.
Maybe love is originally drinking poisonous wine with a smile.
When we are uncertain about anything, we always love too quickly, give up too quickly, and give promises easily, but always can't wait for the result.
This is the fast-food love of this society now, our era is not like the era of our fathers, the broken things are repaired and continue to be used, and we only want to change them.
The night was completely silent, the street lamps outside the window were rippling on the curtains, and the room was eerily silent.
I lay on the bed like a dead dog and fell asleep unconsciously......
But in the middle of my dream, a violent knock on the door rang like a midnight bell, and I was frightened.
"Knock knock, knock knock......"
The knock on the door was still there, I grabbed my phone on the bed and looked at the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock in the evening!
I felt a "groan" in my heart again, and then Li An'an's voice came from outside: "Hey, have you slept?"
I let out a long breath, but replied angrily, "Sleep." ”
"Is that a ghost talking to me?"
"What are you doing, is there something wrong?" I yelled impatiently outside the door.
"Open the door and discuss something. She continued to knock on the door.
I was really annoyed with her, I got out of bed and put on my slippers and opened the door, and I was about to scold her to vent my anger, but I suddenly lost my temper when I saw her depressed appearance.
She looked as if she had just fought in a fierce battle, with visible blood stains not only on her hair and at the corners of her mouth, but also on her arms.
I didn't sympathize with her, but I wondered how she made herself look like this in the middle of the night.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's wrong with you?
"Don't worry about it!" she said to me, visibly angry, "Did you tell me in the afternoon that there was a place for a part-time mascot job?"
I was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter, now that you've figured it out?"
"Yes, I thought about it, and no one could see my face anyway, wearing a hood. ”
"Okay, then I'll send someone a WeChat message now, but there is no place to say that it is not certain. ”
"Thanks!" she said, turning and leaving.
"Hey!" I called out to her, pointing to her face and saying, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry about it!" she said indifferently, opening the door next door and walking in.
I pouted and shrugged my shoulders in place, her scars were obviously caused by conflicts with people, and as for why the conflict occurred, I should be able to think of it, as far as her eldest lady's temper does not change, she will suffer in the future.
After closing the door, I sent a WeChat message to the young lady I met at the gold store today, telling her that we were sure that we were two people.
She didn't reply to me, I guess it's too late, people have already rested, or maybe they have already found the two of them, and they don't need us anymore.
I didn't think too much of it, I pulled on the quilt and got ready to go back to sleep.
But I vaguely heard a small sobbing sound coming from next door, and at first I thought I had heard it wrong, so I listened carefully and was sure that it was the sobbing sound coming from next door.
That stinky girl is crying?
I didn't meddle in any business, but the sound annoyed me, and I sat up from my bed again, lit a cigarette and smoked in my fidgetiness.
The sobbing sound was getting louder and louder, and I raised my hand and slapped it twice on the wall and said loudly, "Okay! In the middle of the night, if you don't sleep, someone else will sleep!"
After hearing my voice, her sobbing was noticeably quieter, and I said to myself: "It's good to get used to it, I see that you have just come out of society! Now you know that society is sinister, right? If you regret it now, it's too late to go back and apologize to your father, and be your daughter again! This is not for you......."
"Shut up!" I could tell how angry she was from those two words, though the voice was small.
I didn't bother to say anything, so I smoked this cigarette and lay down and fell asleep.
……
Since I quit my job six months ago, my life has become irregular, sometimes I sleep until noon, and sometimes I wake up early and can't sleep.
I woke up at six o'clock in the morning this morning, and then I couldn't sleep again, because it was still summer, and the sky outside at six o'clock in the morning was already white.
I stood at the window and watched the newly awakened world downstairs, the rising sun softly falling on the rows of rooftops, pulling the whole city into a long shadow.
On the streets, there is a lot of traffic in light and shadow, and this time is also the time when the people at the bottom of this society go to work, they are running around like ants, fighting and working hard to survive in this city.
However, no one knows what awaits them in front of them. Opportunity, Future, Trap, or Frustration......
Just like my situation at the moment, I don't know what awaits me, I really don't know where my future is, I don't know what kind of life I want to live in the future, in short, I am very confused......
In a distraction, a WeChat prompt suddenly came from the mobile phone.
I picked up my phone and looked at it, which made me excited, it turned out to be a message from the young lady of the gold store yesterday. She said yes, come to their store at 8 a.m.
I immediately replied to her, and I laughed self-deprecatingly at the same time as I was excited.
I don't know what happened to me now, not to mention such a thankless and even low-status job, even if I was asked to help her gold store open and do decoration design, I was too low-level.
But now it's a good thing, I seem to have completely completed a metamorphosis from my proud self before, and I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
I retracted my thoughts, washed my face and brushed my teeth quickly, and looked at the time it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
I came to the door of Li An'an's room, raised my hand and knocked on the door: "Get up, get up, get up, the sun is drying your ass! Get up and ......."
There was no response inside, I increased my strength and continued to knock for a while, and Li An'an's irritable voice came from inside at noon: "You are sick!
"If you don't go to do part-time work, if you go, get me up quickly, if you don't go, I'll leave now!"
There was silence for a few seconds, and her voice came out again: "Go, go, you wait for me, three minutes!"
Then I heard a pounding sound coming from inside, and it sounded urgent.
I sat back on the couch and waited, and as soon as I lit a cigarette and took two puffs, her door opened, and when she appeared in front of me, my jaw almost dropped to the ground......
