I was really stupid to go.

A complete failure in the college entrance examination has wiped out all my efforts.

I went back to the house, took a hot shower, drank a large glass of hot water and two anti-inflammatory pills, and went to sleep under the covers, until a series of knocks on the door woke me from my chaotic sleep.

I opened my eyes and recalled the last dream I had just had, as if I had dreamed of Rong Ling Rongling, a classmate who came to Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School, and Qiao Chu, who had come to Yangcheng No. 3 Middle School......

Dreams are really chaotic, not in one place, not in a time period, people can be pulled together.

The sky outside the window was faint and a little gloomy, it was only five or six o'clock, who would knock on the door at this time? I sat up for a second and answered: "It's coming!"

I put on a coat, and I didn't find slippers next to the bed, so I simply stepped on the tile floor with my bare feet, and suddenly I gasped and woke up in an instant.

The people outside the door seemed to have run out of patience, and at first they knocked on the door, but now they have become knocking on the door.

I asked "Who" and hurriedly opened the door, as soon as the door opened, a figure came in directly, I touched the switch on the wall, the light was bright, and I couldn't help but be surprised: "Lu Jingzhong?"

I glanced out the door, but Vivi wasn't following behind.

Lu Jingzhong looked a little cold: "She's in the car." ”

I let out an "oh" sound, closed the door all of a sudden, and was slapped by Lin Xiaoxiao, the right cheek still hurt faintly, and the corners of the cracked mouth seemed to be a little swollen, but the throat was much better, and there was no such tearing pain.

Lu Jingzhong was looking around at the small room I rented, his brows furrowed.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, went straight into the bedroom, found the slippers, and poured myself a cup of hot water to moisten my throat.

Lu Jingzhong asked me, "Do you really plan to live in this kind of place for the rest of your life?"

I thought about it: "Not necessarily ......"

Lu Jingzhong gave me a faint look, and I continued: "It's more likely to go and sleep on plastic sheeting under the overpass, because I don't have a job." ”

Lu Jingzhong said: "You don't have to ...... about money"

I interrupted him, tilted my head and smiled, "You're trying to keep me?"

Lu Jingzhong hugged his arms, I understood that the posture meant to refuse, and I didn't want to continue along this topic, but I was really curious, so I asked, "What are you doing here in the morning?"

"Early in the morning?" Lu Jingzhong's tone seemed as if I was joking.

"Well," I said, gesturing to the clock above my head, "isn't it only five forty?" ”

"Huh. Lu Jingzhong took out his mobile phone, "It's 5:40, 5:40 in the afternoon." ”

Me: "......"

Hearing Lu Jingzhong say this, I know why he came.

Before leaving last night, he sent me a text message, at five o'clock, at the airport, to go to X University to take the art exam.

I raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why am I going to take the art exam?" I think it's good now, it's so good. ”

Lu Jingzhong didn't answer, turned his face sideways, and there was a band-aid in the corner of his eye, but the color was very light, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.

I know that for a person like Lu Jingzhong, a ruined face is equivalent to a ruined future.

At this time, I felt that I was really a broom star, first ruined Mr. Lu's future, and now ruined Lu Jingzhong's future.

I suddenly thought of this question and asked, "Who are you, Mr. Lu?" Brother or brother?"

Lu Jingzhong looked at me and didn't speak, suddenly smiled and called me: "Du Jiayin." ”

Even if I was wearing high heels, Lu Jingzhong was a head taller than me, not to mention that I was only wearing flat cotton slippers now, so I had to look at him with my neck up.

Lu Jingzhong suddenly hooked my chin: "Do you know who I look down on the most?"

I was stunned for a moment, and I didn't understand why Lu Jingzhong suddenly asked such a thing.

"It's people like you," Lu Jingzhong continued, "Do you know why the poor are getting poorer, because the poor mourn everything, and the poor will have a narrow vision, and they can't see the outside world, and they are the frogs at the bottom of the well." ”

I blushed: "I'm not!"

Lu Jingzhong asked rhetorically: "Aren't you? Aren't you, aren't you a frog at the bottom of a well? Then tell me, apart from the second-tier city of X City and the county-level city of Yangcheng, have you ever been to other places? Have you ever flown over the other side of the ocean by plane? Not to mention foreign countries, in China, have you been to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou? Have you ever been to Tibet and climbed snow-capped mountains? Have you ever been to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia? Do you know why you are satisfied now? Just because you are worthy of living in this 40-square-meter house, your field of vision will always be only as big as these 40 square meters. I thought you had changed, you didn't seem to have the kind of inferiority that you couldn't let go of at first glance, you really hid it very well, even I was deceived. ”

Lu Jingzhong's voice was low, the same as when he was singing, not hurried, as if I had put my ten fingers on the black and white keys in a series of light playing, obviously not intimidating or roaring, every word I said seemed to hit my heart, pierced like an awl.

Lu Jingzhong took a step closer to me, his height advantage hid the shadow of the light above my head, and he looked at my eyes, as if he could see the depths of his soul: "Du Jiayin, didn't I tell you? I will compromise too, but my compromise is for the next offense, and yours ...... It's just waiting to die. ”

My eyes widened.

Indeed, my compromise now is in ...... Wait for death.

Day by day, eating together, waiting for death.

There was only one failure in the college entrance examination, and only poverty broke me completely.

No wonder everyone says I've changed, I think I've become mature, I've become inferior, but in fact?

It's like Lu Jingzhong said, I'm hiding it well, it's really good.

Lu Jingzhong didn't speak, leaned on the cabinet behind him, took out a cigarette and lit it, the smoke swaying.

I said, "Is it too late to go to X University?"
