Chapter 2: First Encounter
Although he majored in teacher training in college, Su Jian didn't want to find a job as a teacher in S City after graduation and live a boring life. Ever since she inadvertently saw City A, which is full of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, in a film and television appreciation class, she has been moved. The small bridges and flowing water, the ancient temples and mountain temples, the deep mountains and waterfalls, and the quaint buildings all made her fascinated. Su Yue secretly decided to go there to have a look no matter what, and as soon as possible!
So during the internship in her senior year, when a few girls in the dormitory were hesitant where to go, she insisted on City A. And he told them all the beautiful words he saw and heard.
City A is thousands of miles away, and Shen Dan, Xu Qiu and Qian Lingling have never been there, and they are all thrilled to hear her say this. Coincidentally, Shen Dan has a distant cousin who has worked hard in City A for many years, and she can arrange accommodation for them in advance. It's a godsend.
It's just that the day before departure, Shen Dan called and said that she couldn't go, and the family didn't agree. Her cousin's phone was called many times, but she couldn't get in touch. She felt sorry for everyone, but she couldn't do anything about it. Most of the fire burning in everyone's hearts was extinguished at once, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, Su Yue, Xu Qiu and Qian Lingling finally decided to go to City A.
The lack of a good start seems to indicate that the next thing is not going well.
City A is not as rosy as everyone thinks. The climate here is humid, rainy every day, and it is bitterly cold at this juncture just after the Spring Festival. Prices here are not cheap, and everyone is afraid to eat as much as they want. The house is very small, except for a dark bathroom that only allows one person to enter and exit without hot water, and the sleeping room has two beds that can sleep for three girls, and there is not much room for it. Washed clothes can only be dried in the opaque corridors, and it seems that they will never dry......
It was a time when everyone wasn't very happy. Su Yue will also go to the talent market to find a job, Xu Qiu and Qian Lingling simply stay in the Internet café every day, at least it is warm there. They even talked about going back, and there was nothing good here. Su Yue didn't dare to make a sound. I always felt that I had dragged them over to suffer these sins, so I didn't dare to keep them. But she didn't dare to answer, "Yes." ”
She traveled thousands of miles to find a job despite her family's opposition. The head of the family had already asked someone to find her a job, and the salary was also very good, but she refused. Now I can only go forward.
Because she submitted a lot of resumes, Su Yue went back and forth to different companies every day to participate in interviews. Some companies don't look down on her, some Su Yue doesn't look down on herself, or the address is too tortuous, and she didn't find a place at all. But one day, Su Yue still found a company that was satisfactory to both parties.
Su Yue was very happy when she went back that day, but Xu Qiu and Qian Lingling rarely didn't go out. They were waiting for her to come back. On the bed were their suitcases. There's nowhere else to put it.
Su Yue was shocked in her heart, she didn't expect this "surprise" to be waiting for her. But she knew that they had made up their minds, so she did not persuade them. After eating, the three of them went to the station by car. The moment the car drove away, Su Yue couldn't help crying. She herself couldn't tell why.
It's just that Su Yue was really sad in the past few days when her classmates left. Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, sick, in the dead of night, hanging water in the hospital, Su Yue also had the idea of giving up halfway.
It was a night when she had been working overtime for many days before she turned regular.
Su Yue sat alone in a quieter corner. She was the only one in the row and one other girl, and there was only one person in the row across from her, a man wearing a mask who was also on an infusion. Other infusion areas are more active, with students in school uniforms, children still wearing diapers, elderly people with silver threads on their heads, and couples or couples close together. Students are infusion in one hand, writing the narrow table with the other, and sitting on the side is a gentle looking mother, or a serious and silent father. Children are either asleep in their parents' arms, or crying with red faces, carried by their mothers or grandmothers, followed by someone holding up the potion, or obediently eating snacks and looking at their phones or iPads. Some of the elderly are dozing off, and some are watching cartoons on the white walls like children. None of these sounds were noisy, and were often drowned out by the hysterical cries of children in the fog room next door. Generally, it will not be long before one or two children come out, either sobbing and choking, or tightly hugging the necks of their parents or grandparents, the broken hair that clings to their foreheads is wet, and there are traces of crying. Very few come out happy.
Su Yue listened to and watched this, and somehow many fragments appeared in his mind that he couldn't remember when he was a child.
She was 4 or 5 years old at the time, in poor health, and often had a fever in the middle of the night. At that time, the family didn't have much money, and every time she got sick, her father had to take her to the clinic in the town. It was a very dark road, and it was very difficult to walk. When it rains, it's muddy and easy to fall. Dad always held her tightly in his arms, and Mom held an umbrella by the side. All you could hear was the sound of them stepping on the road and their heavy panting......
Not wanting to think about it any longer, Su Yue continued to observe everything around her, but her eyes turned to the man sitting diagonally opposite her. He wears a black polo shirt with a simple and elegant style, a pair of black trousers and a pair of black leather shoes on his feet. It's a very popular outfit, but just by visual inspection, you can see that the texture of the clothes is good, and it shouldn't be cheap. Because the man was wearing a mask, his face couldn't be seen clearly, but even so, Su Yue still felt that his temperament was unique. He was looking at a notebook.
At this time, although Ren Chen was facing the computer, his mind had actually wandered into the world, and he had long forgotten where he was, so that he didn't hear someone call him. It wasn't until a nurse dressed in white came up to him and cried out in surprise, "Oops, it's bleeding!" that he came back to his senses. The young nurse skillfully pulled out the needle, took a cotton swab and pressed it to him where he drew the needle, and handed it to him, while laughing: "It's okay, it's just a little swollen, you have to press it for five minutes until it doesn't bleed anymore." When you get home, remember to apply a hot towel or raw potato chips to the swollen area. But fortunately, your girlfriend called us, she was so kind to you, and she came to us with a potion while she was still injected. As he spoke, he looked around, until he saw Su Yue coming out of the bathroom, and pointed: "No, she's there!
Ren Chen followed the nurse's line of sight and saw a girl with long hair and a shawl holding a potion. She wears a white short-sleeved shirt, a pair of teal jeans, and a pair of small white shoes on her feet. She has fair skin without any makeup, and is even slightly tired, but the moment she looks up, it makes people's eyes shine. She is very delicate and beautiful.
Ren Chen turned his gaze expressionlessly and said to the nurse, "Thank you." ”
Although Su Yue had confirmed that the nurse had gone to the man to pull out the needle before going to the bathroom, she couldn't help but look there again to confirm when she came out. She called him several times before, but he didn't know what he was thinking so close that he didn't hear it, seeing that his potion had run out, she just wanted to go to the bathroom again, so she went to the nurse's station to call the nurse to come and pull out the needle, and she went to the bathroom in a hurry. Fortunately, his needle had been pulled out, Su Yue looked over there and smiled faintly, but he didn't expect to meet his gaze. The man has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, but at this moment, his eyes are dark and deep, and his eyes are as cold as ice. Su Yue felt cold when she had a fever, and under such eyes, she felt that the blood around her body was about to coagulate.
After some consideration, she did not sit back in that position, but chose another position to sit down.
The rest of the time passed more slowly, and the right temperature in the room made her drowsy, but every time she was about to fall asleep, she couldn't help but run to the bathroom. She was half-awake and half-asleep until after 9 p.m., when she finally finished the injection. Before leaving, Su Yue couldn't help but look at the seat, the man was long gone.
