Chapter 9 Sense of Responsibility
My hand froze, then I shook my head and said, "Nonsense." ”
The manager nodded, and suddenly a person came in the bar.
I turned my head to see that it was a girl, not an employee of the store, she was wearing a university uniform, and when she came in, she looked carefully.
The store manager shouted, "Classmate, we are only open at night." ”
The other party trotted over with small steps, and I suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart.
When she got closer, she gave me a frightened look, threw something out of her hand, landed directly on the bar, and then slid down into the bar.
I frowned, and she whispered: "Wang Yueyue asked me to help send the resignation letter." With that, she immediately turned around and ran out of the bar.
The store manager's expression was stunned at first, and then he sighed and went inside to pick up the resignation letter.
I didn't read the contents, just picked up the phone, looked at the list of losses written by the store manager, and asked the merchant to deliver new tables and chairs.
The manager also went to the school, so I was left alone in the bar.
At noon, I went to pick up Xie Ran for dinner, but no matter how much I waited at the school gate, Xie Ran didn't come out.
I called her, and her phone was also turned off.
It's a little unnatural in my heart, Xie Ran has never had the habit of turning off the phone, and she will go back to take care of my mother after eating with me every noon.
I watched the time pacing back and forth at the school gate, and waited for more than twenty minutes, but I still didn't wait for Xie Ran.
I called the landline phone at home.
After a few bells, I heard the sound of a landline earpiece being picked up.
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart and shouted, "Xie Ran, are you okay?"
As a result, there was no Xie Ran talking over there, only the sound of my mother giggling and laughing, and the conversation on TV.
I pinched my phone tightly, Xie Ran didn't go home.
Usually my mom would answer the phone, but she wouldn't say anything, and if Xie Ran was at home, she would definitely tell me and not let me worry.
A faint dark cloud began to hover over me.
I walked straight to the school gate.
The security guard stopped me directly and said expressionlessly, "Show me your student ID, classmate." ”
I shook my head and said I didn't have a student ID, but I was the owner of the bar next door, and I went in to find someone.
The security guard looked at me with a skeptical look and said, "Who are you looking for?"
"My girlfriend. My voice also carried a hint of anger, because the usual school gate is not checked like this at all, and when I walked in just now, the security guard seemed to know me, and no one else stopped to ask, but stopped me alone.
The security guard shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, the school is inspected today, and social idlers are not allowed to enter." ”
I stared at the security guard, but the security guard said a few words on the walkie-talkie, looked at me vigilantly, and walked back and forth at the school gate.
From time to time, I look at my student ID card with a student, and it looks like he's guarding against me.
I could only wait at the school gate, and my heart became more and more anxious.
Time passed little by little, and Xie Ran's mobile phone was not turned on.
It wasn't until two o'clock, when a large number of students entered the school, and there were few people at the school gate, that I saw Xie Ran walking slowly from the other end of the campus road.
She lowered her head and shrunk her shoulders as if it were cold, and her hair was a little disheveled.
I clenched my fists and panicked inside.
Soon Xie Ran walked out of the school gate, and she still kept her head down, as if she didn't see me.
I walked up to her, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and shouted urgently, "What's wrong with you, why did you turn off your phone and only come out now?"
Xie Ran suddenly screamed, and raised her head sharply as she pushed me away, her eyes began to panic. When he saw me, his eyes erupted with grievance, and he threw himself into my arms and cried.
Xie Ran was trembling all the time, crying extremely uncomfortable.
My eyes widened and I hugged her shoulders, my whole body trembling, my anger rolling and burning in my heart.
I said in a hoarse voice, "Who moved the hand?" Because Xie Ran looked up just now, I clearly saw that there were several slap marks on her face, there was a little blood on the corner of her mouth, and even Xie Ran's clothes were dirty, obviously she was bullied!
Xie Ran kept crying and didn't speak.
I was angry in my heart, but I was also very distressed, I quickly comforted Xie Ran, saying that she should not cry, I took her to the hospital for medicine, and came back to find someone to settle the account.
Xie Ran didn't speak, just hugged me and cried.
I helped her to the car on the side of the road.
After getting in the car, I went straight to the hospital, holding the steering wheel tightly, and I could see in the rearview mirror that my eyes were all bloodshot.
"Let's ...... Gotta go home. Xie Ran said with a sob.
"Go to the hospital. I said hoarsely.
"Mom hasn't eaten yet, I won't go to class in the afternoon, let's go home first and serve our mother." ”
Xie Ran sobbed twice, wiped his tears, and then covered his face with paper in pain.
I panicked, distressed, and extremely angry.
"Zhou Ran, go home first, otherwise I won't go in the hospital either. Xie Ran's tone became much firmer, and his sobs were a little less.
I can only turn the steering wheel around.
On the way, I asked Xie Ran who did it, but Xie Ran didn't tell me, saying that she had fallen.
I said with a hint of anger in my tone, saying how many slap marks can you throw in your face, can you smash your phone off, and it won't come out until now?
Xie Ran lowered his head and said that there was nothing wrong, it was just a little misunderstanding.
Xie Ran was just like me before, she would say a few more words to me, but most of the time, she didn't speak, thinking quietly about her own affairs.
Holding the steering wheel, I knew Xie Ran wouldn't speak.
But who beat her? Xie Ran usually doesn't talk to others much, and she doesn't offend anyone.
Suddenly, I thought of Liu Quan, but I couldn't be completely sure.
At this time, the car arrived at the gate of the community.
got out of the car and went home to cook for my mother, my mother kept surrounding Xie Ran and asked her why she was beaten in the face, Xie Ran lowered her head and whispered that I was fine, Mom.
My mother came over and grabbed my hand, crying and shouting that I had bullied Xie Ran, but I had no choice but to explain that it was not me. She reached out and hit me on the head, saying that I couldn't even protect my daughter-in-law, so how could I look like a man?
At this time, my mother felt less crazy, but her accusations made me feel even more uncomfortable.
At this moment, my mother suddenly cried and said, "Why are you so useless? Your father didn't let me suffer the slightest grievance when he was alive, but you let your wife be beaten, didn't take her to the hospital, and didn't even give her an explanation for coming back." Why are you so useless? ”
With that, my mom sat down on the floor and started crying.
I was pale, and she sat on the ground crying as if my dad had just died.
When she finished crying, she went crazy.
Xie Ran came out of the kitchen, she lowered her head, and whispered to me not to think about it, Mom, she is tired, just coax her to sleep after eating, and it will be fine.
I shook my head and stopped talking.
Seeing Xie Ran take care of my mother's food, my mother whispered to her, "Good daughter-in-law, don't blame Zhou Ran." ”
"Zhou Ran, he is very fierce, whoever dares to hurt you, he will definitely get justice for you. ”
"Mom, it's okay, it's not good to fight and kill all day long. Xie Ran said with a smile, as if he had forgotten the wound on his face.
"Good daughter-in-law, you don't know, Zhou Ran is very responsible, he is the same as his father, he will protect the people around him, you see that my mother is usually stupid and stupid and doesn't know anything, but my mother knows that my son has been away from his side for three years, these three years, my mother is too clear, everything is clear. ”
"So don't be afraid, Zhou Ran will definitely not let you be beaten in vain. ”
My mother's words stirred up my memory, and provoked me to remember everything from three years ago, is my mother really clear? Looking at her seemingly sober appearance, my heart is a little uncomfortable and depressed. But I also felt that my face was hot and uncomfortable.
Do I have a sense of responsibility? I was angry and went in for three years?
But what she said later made my face hot and uncomfortable.
Yes, I have done so many things for Gu Lin.
It is even possible that Xie Ran was beaten because I offended Liu Quan, but I couldn't protect my girlfriend well? I clenched my fist tightly, and I whispered: "Mom is tired, you feed her, and then we will go to the hospital, I have something to do in the afternoon." ”
