Chapter 11: The Hustle
The car slowly approached the gate of Nanda University, and Lin Yu saw Lu Min standing at the door waiting.
He doesn't have the bleak feeling of yesterday today, the black coat looks good on his body, and with a handsome face, he feels like the male protagonist in a Korean drama.
Gu Bei's eyes fell on Lin Yu's slightly relaxed expression, and he said in a deep voice, "Your friend?"
"Uh-hmm, thank you for sending me here. Lin Yu opened the door and got out of the car, Lu Min's eyes immediately focused, and at the same time, he also saw Gu Bei in the driver's seat, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
Gu Bei looked at his expression, watched Lin Yu walk towards him step by step, and slowly drove the car away from the door for a long time.
Lu Min also watched his car leave.
"Let's go. Lin Yu spit out a burst of white mist as he spoke, his face added a little misty beauty in the white mist, Lu Min handed her the bag in his hand, "I saw that your scarf was soiled yesterday, so I bought a new one." β
Lin Yu was stunned, the scarf is dirty and needs to buy a new one?
She glanced at the scarf in the bag, which was very similar to the one she had yesterday, and excused herself: "It's not good to be useless." β
Lu Min smiled very gently: "How can you say that it is useless? I was injured yesterday thanks to you accompanying me to the hospital - besides, I bought a women's model, you can't let me take it back and hang it in the dormitory?"
Lin Yu makes sense to think about it, but the injury is also caused by her, how can she be embarrassed to accept gifts again? Who knew that Lu Min took her hand and put the bag in her hand, "Okay, don't be polite, I'm going to trouble you today." β
Not long after the two walked into Nanchen Bar, Gu Bei's car quietly stopped on the side of the road, originally he planned to turn a blind eye and leave directly, but he didn't drive far forward, and he always felt nervous and went back.
His hand on the steering wheel kept beating uneasily, his eyes fixed on the slightly intimate backs of the two, and finally landed on the bag in Lin Yu's hand.
"Toot-" The phone rang, and he picked it up a little anxiously, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Zimo's voice sounded at the other end: "I was in a hurry just now, I forgot a very important thing, where are you? I'll come to you now." β
Gu Bei told Zhou Zimo the address, and about half an hour, the kid's car appeared on the other side of the road.
Zhou Zimo parked the car and looked left and right a few times to search for Gu Bei's location, wrapped his shirt tightly in his coat pockets with his hands in his coat pockets and ran towards him, without the slightest so-called demeanor.
Sitting in the co-pilot, Zhou Zimo complained: "It doesn't matter if it's cold outside, the temperature in the car is still so low!" Gu Bei didn't reply, staring at the door of the bar in a daze.
"It seems that Lin Yu has entered, and he will leave the table from Gu Shao after receiving a phone call, Gu Gongzi, your position is in jeopardy!"
"What are you talking nonsense, I just saw a person who was very familiar, and came over to take a look. Gu Bei's dark eyes swept over all of a sudden, and Zhou Zimo was so frightened that he shut up.
"Isn't what I'm telling the truth?, why are you so fierce, it's not okay to joke?" Zhou Zimo muttered, "But then again, what is the relationship between you and Lin Yu, how do you feel that you are both weird?"
"Our relationship?" Gu Bei pondered this sentence, "I don't know what kind of relationship we have." β
Zhou Zimo: "......" was coldly looked at by Gu Bei, and Zhou Zimo asked again: "You invited a lot of people to your graduation party, but I didn't see a single one named Lin Yu." β
Gu Bei was silent, and only after a long time did a sentence come out of his mouth, "I invited her, but she didn't come." β
"Have you ever asked why?"
Gu Bei shook his head.
Zhou Zimo gently patted Gu Bei's shoulder a few times, and said regretfully: "Dude, it's not that I deliberately stimulated you, this matter is difficult." β
Gu Bei didn't answer and rolled up the window.
"But it doesn't matter, since it's about you, brother, I'll do my best to helpβbut only if she's a single socialist young woman. β
"Are you looking for me in a hurry?"
"Oh yes, Old Man Gu told you to go back, you've been back to China for a week, and it's not like it's okay to stay in the hotel all the time, you don't know that if you don't go home for a day, your brother and I will be trained for a day. You also know Old Man Gu's temper, just like the teaching director teaching bad students, the two of us are lined up more neatly than peanuts, and our ears are calloused!"
"Got it. β
"So are you going back or not?"
"No, I don't go back. "The feelings have been in vain for a long time!
Because of yesterday's incident, when the bar director saw that Lu Min's face was not very good, Lin Yu moved to discuss it with emotion and reason, but the director still did not change his decision, and Lu Min was fired like this.
The two came out of the bar stupidly, and Lin Yu said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm still dragging you down, so let's do it, I have a friend who wants to open a flower shop and also needs a part-time job, I'll introduce it to you." β
"Thank you. β
"You're welcome, it's all because of me, and that's as it should be. β
Lu Min originally invited Lin Yu to take a walk together, but Lin Yu couldn't hold it for a day and politely refused, and after sending Lu Min back to school, he took a taxi home.
When she got home, Lin Yu came out of the shower and found that a very rich meal was prepared on the table, and her uncle and aunt sat at the other end of the table with a kind smile and beckoned her to come over for dinner.
Lin Yu couldn't eat at all, and still dragged his tired body to the table symbolically.
The second elder put vegetables into her bowl very attentively, and Lin Yu expressed his gratitude and ate a few bites briefly.
The eyes of the uncle and aunt kept falling on her, staring at her with vegetables, looking like they wanted to say something.
Lin Yu was savoring her aunt's cooking skills very seriously, and she didn't pay attention to the abnormal expressions of the two, but for three or five minutes, her aunt couldn't sit still, and her eyes secretly glanced at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was really tired and needed to rest, so he didn't entangle around the bush, and asked directly, "Auntie, is there anything you want to tell me?"
As early as seeing the dishes on this table, Lin Yu expected what would happen next, and she waited patiently for her aunt to speak.
The old woman rubbed the dishes and chopsticks a few times, stopped her hand and looked at Lin Yu a little crampedly. Lin Yu was very familiar with their set, and then asked according to their meaning: "It's okay, my aunt told Lin Yu that if Lin Yu can help, she will try her best to help." β
Only then did the old woman speak: "That, Hui'er has a girlfriend." β
Hui'er's name is Lin Hui, the son of Lin Yu's uncle and aunt, and their family also has a young daughter who is now in high school, called Lin Yue.
Lin Yu frowned, she knew about this matter, last time the second elder used this incident as an excuse to take 20,000 yuan from her and said that he wanted to buy some gifts for his daughter-in-law, why is it still like this?!
The old woman saw Lin Yu's thoughts, and replied numbly: "It's not the previous one, it's a new relationship." β
"But you want to buy some gifts?"
The old woman's face was ugly, and she said angrily: "No, this Hui'er has already brought it over to see it, this time Hui'er is going to her in-laws' house, you see ......"
Lin Yu's chopsticks were slowly put down, a little angry, but he still said softly: "How much?"
"Fifty thousand. β
Lin Yu choked for a moment, her uncle and aunt found all kinds of excuses to ask her for money not once or twice, but the previous times the amount was not too big, the most was 20,000 last time, and this time she asked for 50,000 at once, she was a little shocked.
Although she has been working for two years, she does not have much savings. All the expenses of the family are supported by her salary, in addition to the mortgage, Lin Yue's living expenses, and from time to time this "Hui'er" loots from her, she really can't come up with so much money.
Lin Yuqiang endured the pressure in his heart and said, "Give me a little time, my hands have been a little tight recently, will I give it to you in a few days?"
The old woman's face was pulled down, she smashed the chopsticks on the table, hugged her hands and said angrily: "If you don't want to give it, just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush like this." β
The old man hurriedly patted him.
The old woman glared at him and said, "Are you embarrassed to shoot me? If it weren't for your old man's inability, would we have to beg so lowly? I don't think I should have listened to you in the first place, and in the end it wasn't a bamboo basket to draw water?"
The old man grabbed the old woman's wrist and whispered, "Don't say it!"
The old woman didn't look at all, shook off his hand, stood up and walked to his room, with a "bang", the door was slammed shut, and Lin Yu was so frightened that half of the chopsticks fell off.
The uncle picked up the chopsticks on the ground and put them on the table, comforting Lin Yu and said, "The old woman has a bad temper, don't blame her." β
Lin Yu smiled bitterly, "It's okay uncle." When the uncle received her words, he went back to his room with peace of mind.
Lin Yu stared at the already cold dishes on the table, and couldn't help but mock himself, he couldn't blame anyone, he could only blame himself.
After changing her pair of chopsticks, she finished the rest of the meal with red eyes, and cleaned up the house very skillfully before returning to her room.
Days like this haven't stopped since she graduated.
