∮ Sixth Movement: The Ruthless Deception (1)

Looking at the back of Zheng leaving, I sat alone at the table, facing the food on the table, but I couldn't lift the chopsticks for a long time......

The tears in the corners of his eyes, big dripping big ones, until they drowned his heart.

It turns out that people really want to cherish it only after they lose it, and only when they are down, they will know the value of bread......

Once upon a time, I didn't care about the abalone fins on the table......

Now I am a rusk that can move me to tears......

So, in the sea of tears, I finally finished this breakfast with difficulty.

After packing up the dishes and chopsticks, I wandered around the huge house like a wandering spirit, with a lot of thoughts.

What should I do now? Stay or go?

Yes, Zheng is right, now I, do I still have a choice? Penniless, out of this sky that belongs to him, waiting for me is only the abuse of the market hooligans, what else can I do except stay here obediently?

Walking to the window, looking at the blue sea and blue sky, the scorching sun, I couldn't help but reach out and touch, but all that awaited me was the suffocating sense of emptiness, ethereal...... Barren......

The tears in the corners of the eyes were dried in the sun, and the pain in my heart was soothed by the blue sky...... I walked back to the living room again, but I was surprised to come back to my senses.

Just now, the whole person has been in a trance, and I didn't notice the shocking design of the whole house......

It's still all made of crystal, but all the furnishings here are unexpectedly the same - blue iris chandelier, blue iris chair seat, blue iris giant crystal statue......

There are translucent blue crystals everywhere, making you feel like you're in a sea of blue......

It's just that this blue sea, for some reason, exudes a distressing sense of loneliness and helplessness......

Maybe it's because both blue iris and crystals are fragile......

I was bored wandering around the big house, and finally got to noon, but unfortunately, I found that I didn't have lunch at all.

Touching the kitchen and looking at the ingredients in the refrigerator, I clumsily picked up the knife and began to fight for my lunch......

Although I used to learn some cooking skills in order to recruit three years ago, I have resumed my life as an eldest lady in the past three years, and my fingers do not touch the spring water, and even three years ago, my kung fu has not reached home at all...... Speaking of which, I'll only cook those lung-nourishing dishes, and nothing else......

Looking at the cabbage in front of me, I mustered up my courage, held the knife in both hands, closed my eyes, and slashed it hard......

But ...... "snapped...... I pushed hard enough that the red liquid splattered all over me......

"Wow...... It can't be my blood!" I almost fainted when I looked at the bright red all over my body, but strange? Why didn't I feel pain?

Looking away from my body, I found that the cabbage was still lying intact in front of me, but the tomato sister next to it had already become my ghost......

"Whew, it's a tomato...... I'm scared to death!" I wiped the beads of sweat from my head, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief......

"Jingle ......" Just as I was scared out of myself, the doorbell rang suddenly......

"It's coming!" Walking to the door, I picked up the phone and asked, "Who is it?"

"Is it Miss Ling? I'm delivering pizza!"

"Deliver pizza, but I didn't call it?" Actually, whether I called it or not is not the point, the point is that I have no money to pay the bills?-。 -||

"Oh, this is what Mr. Susukino called you?"

"Ahh

"This, please Miss Ling sign for it, Mr. Susukino has already paid for you!"

"Oh, thank you!"

Holding the hot pizza in my hand, my heart warmed......

A small action, a detail, can make me feel helpless at the moment.

Because of my arrival, I gave up my room......

Because I know that I am afraid of the dark, I deliberately do not turn off the lights at night......

Because I knew I couldn't cook, I had someone bring a pizza on time......

It turns out that not everything has changed, some things have long been ingrained and become habits......

He shouldn't be too bad like this, right......

As I gulped down the mouthful pizza, the corners of my mouth curled up in a long-lost arc.

After eating, I walked out to the open-air balcony, holding my chin in one hand and leaning on the fence with the other, enjoying the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Wow, there's a swimming pool here, too? And it's so strangely shaped, it's not an ordinary square...... It's a flower shape, huh, no matter how you look at it, this shape is so familiar...... Where have you seen it...... Ahh......h Although the blue iris is very beautiful, the flower language is very desolate, so make it a sign of your own house, and you feel so bored when you see it......

Depressed back to my room, I took out the blue iris nail from my luggage that I hadn't seen in a long time. It was still as dazzling as ever, and under its illumination, I seemed to have hallucinations, as if all the grievances I had suffered in the past few days were just a dream......

"How nice would it be if it was really a dream?" I sighed, carefully putting away the drill nails and began to look around the room......

Is this the place where you can rest every day? It is completely different from the outside world, and the whole house, only here can make people feel safe! Here, there is no luxurious crystal, no unique decoration, but it miraculously makes people feel like "home......

Just as I was reveling in my thoughts, my phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, Xiaoru?" I asked, looking at the number displayed on the screen.

"Hey, woo...... Looking forward to the stars?...... Woohoo......"

Listening to Xiaoru's choked voice, I immediately asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Xiaoru, don't you cry first? Speak slowly......

"Well...... , that, that, Panxing...... Mom and Dad's company went out of business...... Before, in order to provide for my college education, my parents asked the underground bank to borrow a loan shark, and now, now, both of them are unemployed all of a sudden, and I am afraid that I will ...... I'm afraid...... Panxing ...... "Xiao Ru cried more and more, and the sobbing sound had overshadowed her voice.

"Xiaoru, in this way, don't worry, I'll come to you right away, you tell you where you are now?"

"Well, I'm in Victoria Park on Tin Hau Street now!"

"Okay, you wait for me! I'll be right there!"

So, after changing into clean clothes, I hurried out the door......

Victoria Park ......

"Xiao Ru, what happened?" Seeing Xiao Ru sitting on the bench with tears on her face, my heart suddenly became entangled......

"Panxing ......" hugged me tightly, and Xiao Ru's eyes were red.

"It's okay, it's okay...... Don't cry, come on, wipe it!"

I took out the tissue paper and hurriedly wiped away the tears.

"Panxing, what do you say I should do now? It's all because of me, if my parents didn't help me pay the expensive tuition, I wouldn't have borrowed loan sharks, what should I do, if I don't pay the money, the loan sharks will soon come to collect our house, and when the time comes, will I have to accompany my elderly parents to live on the streets?"

"Don't worry, Xiaoru! By the way, look for Zhuang Luohong! Have you ever looked for Zhuang Luohong? He should be able to lend you money!"

"His dad's company...... Also bankrupt ......"

"What!

"Don't you know? This afternoon, there was a big fluctuation in Hong Kong's securities market, and many enterprises were implicated, the most powerful of which was the São Paulo company, which I heard was a large international enterprise, but it was also dismantled this afternoon......

"Isn't there supposed to be macroeconomic regulation and control in the securities market?"

"I don't know, anyway, the news says that it is estimated that there are big companies operating behind the scenes......"

Listening to Xiaoru's analysis, for some reason, the shadow of the sign appeared in my heart...... Maybe it's because he used this method to put Daddy's company out of business......

"That's it, Xiaoru, you go home first, and I'll help you think of a way to do the rest!" Although I also know that what I lack most at this moment is money, but in order to cheer up Xiaoru, I still take on this responsibility without hesitation.

"Thank you, Panxing! But I am also very clear about your current situation, so don't be reluctant, I came out mainly to find someone to listen to me, and I will find a way to do the rest!"

"But...... Well, I'll try to get someone to help first. I'll let you know as soon as there's news!" "After thinking about it carefully, I should still have some friends in Hong Kong, no matter what, I can help as much as I can!"

"Yes, Panxing, where do you live now?" asked Xiaoru with a weak smile at me.

"Uh...... That's it, it's just staying in a student hotel!" "In order not to worry Xiaoru, I decided not to tell her that I was staying at Zheng's house now.

"Oh, it's not too early, you should go back quickly! It's not safe at night, I'm going home too!" wiped her tears again, and Xiao Ru said to me.

"Well...... You have to be careful yourself!"

After breaking up with Xiaoru, I used the only 200 yuan left in my pocket to call a car to return to Zheng's home (not because I didn't want to take the bus, but because Zheng's home is a villa area and there is no bus stop...... )

The sky was covered with a gray mist, the moon slowly climbed up the branches, and I leaned my head against the car window, gradually falling into my own thoughts......

I don't know if I've gone home? If I come home and see that I'm not there, will he be worried? If I don't come home and I don't have the key, is he waiting at the door again?

Brilliant stars decorate the dim sky...... Ups and downs tonight, because of whose company you are no longer lonely?
