Chapter 6: Youth Feeds the Dogs
Promise doesn't know how long he's been wandering the streets, and his stomach is already empty.
But she didn't have any appetite at all, and she only felt sick when she looked at the exquisite dishes on the display window. The depression I had never felt before, as gloomy as the weather.
She was tired of walking and rested her feet. At this time, it was completely dark, and when she looked up, she only felt that the world was huge, but there was no place for her.
Neon lights lit up above her head, and she leaned against a tree, hoping to have something to lean on.
The shade of the trees danced with the breeze, and the orange grapefruit light cut by the leaves shone on her body, inexplicably beautiful. Even the heavy aura on her body became soft because of this.
She gently stretched out her hand and played her favorite silhouette game as a child in a place that was not shaded by the shade of the trees.
The well-proportioned lotus arm swayed casually with her thoughts. In the eyes of others, she mistakenly thinks she is beckoning.
Suddenly, a taxi pulled up steadily in front of her.
The windows rolled down, revealing a human head sticking out of the black hole. What caught the promise was an uncle full of scum. I saw him smile, and his face suddenly folded. All over the face.
She stared coldly at the sudden intruder, trying to break free from her world.
She didn't want her downfall to be seen by others, and mistook her for a little girl who loved to cry when she was wronged. But in the face of this uncle who is full of kind smiles, forgive her for not being able to reciprocate the same kind smile.
She used all her strength to maintain her facial management. I hope that in the eyes of others, she is just calmly facing another person.
"Little girl, do you want to take a taxi?" he said in a strange tone with a local accent. But Xu Promise stared at the taxi in a trance, and didn't seem to care what the man in the car was saying at all.
The man did not seem to show the slightest sign of impatience, and continued to repeat his words in a gentle and strange tone.
At this time, the promise was understood. Originally, she was the most afraid of soliciting customers in taxis, afraid of dealing with enthusiastic people.
Because she can't afford the weird look in the eyes when others know she can't afford it. Even afterwards, when she thinks about it, her heart is always full of guilt.
As a result, she took on the pressure in her heart that she didn't need to think about in the eyes of others.
But today, she promised to make an exception and take a luxurious taxi home. Not for Ye Wen, not for Sister Meng, not for anything else, just for herself.
Thinking so, she nodded slightly, finally revealing that belated smile. Her face seemed to suddenly sweep away the gloom and become sunny. When the driver's uncle saw it, he shouted at the promise in a good mood - "Get in the car!"
There was a "bang", and the door was pressed against the body.
She was promised to lie comfortably in the comfortable seat, and she had never been so careful, sitting in the back seat of the co-pilot, motionless.
This kind of life is something she has never enjoyed, and the first time she has such a "presumptuous" action, she still has a little panic in her heart, but she tries her best to suppress her uneasiness, trying to turn her eyes to the bright lights outside the car window.
That's it, wordless all the way.
Xu Nuo paid the fee neatly, and after the taxi drove fifty meters away, she quickly took out the stack of change from her pocket and counted it carefully, for fear that the driver would kill her. Finally, after she counted it several times, she was sure that the driver did not maliciously cheat her money, and she was relieved to take the money back in her pocket.
It's really not that she promises to be stingy, it's just that she is used to being bullied. This forced her to be careful at all times. This is really a helpless move towards life.
Walking alone to the door of the rental house, she began to regret taking the rough bus home. It's just that it's all multiplied, what else can I do? Today, let's make an exception and indulge yourself once in a while, which is not a bad thing. She comforted herself.
The door creaked open, and she dragged her tired body back to her little rental house, where she felt a glimmer of warmth in this world.
She greedily sucked the unrefreshing air of the rental house, well, the smell she was familiar with. This is her eternal refuge, even if the sky falls, as soon as she steps here, she seems to be afraid of nothing.
Hungry, she opened a tiny, tiny refrigerator—a very expensive luxury in her cabin. I took out the noodles that I didn't finish last time, warmed them in a pot, and hastily settled the dinner.
She's really not a picky eater at all, as long as she can fill her stomach.
"Tick-tock", that's the sound of a faucet. She didn't dare to turn on the faucet too big and waste water. "Jingle bell", that's the sound of her cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks alone. She cleaned her rice bowl neatly and carefully closed the faucet. In this way, a simple day will pass in her sleep.
It's just that when she gets on the pillow, she doesn't feel sleepy. In the distance, there is a faint sound of rock music from a nightclub bar. It is precisely because of this disturbing rest that the house prices here are exceptionally cheap. And it is precisely because of the cheap price that she will fall asleep on the spot every night.
As long as tonight is extraordinarily special, as soon as she closes her eyes, Ye Wen's smiling face will appear. The mind was full of memories that were about to overflow from the first time she and Ye Wen met.
The youth and ignorance when they first met, the sweetness and freedom when they were together, and the ...... today. Creation makes people.
Every scene was played out in her mind, and it was extraordinarily clear. Maybe even she didn't expect that she would remember her memories with Ye Wen so firmly. It's just that what she guards like a treasure is childish and ridiculous in the eyes of others and the other protagonist.
This night, she was really going to lose sleep. The irritability it had never felt before, and the messy sheets showed that its owner had turned over and over again. The painful memories in her brain tormented her, the original intimacy and bitterness were just what she thought was intimacy and bitterness.
She resents herself a little, she doesn't want to be so sentimental, if she is a person in the next life, she will definitely not choose to be a woman again, she wants to be a rough man, so that when she encounters anything, she will not be overly sensitive and careful. She can choose the life she wants to live without hesitation, and she must live it above board......
She stared blankly at the dark night by the window, but she could no longer sleep peacefully.
Her mind was as quiet, as eerily quiet as the space in which she had enclosed herself. In fact, she could completely ignore the loud music that came from that time, but she didn't want to.
She didn't want to be here by herself. The faintly hot music knocked on the door of her heart. This made her feel that she was not alone in this world.
She looked down at her watch, it was already early in the morning.
But Ye Wen didn't have the slightest news. Perhaps, at this time, he was wandering in which beauty country. When on earth would he bring that matter up to her, and just like that, was he going to deceive her for the rest of his life?
What will the outcome of this dispute be? Will they break up...... Stepping on two boats, no one can end well. Either...... One of them offered to quit in favor of the other two.
At the thought of this, she clenched her fists. Xu Lan has been growing up since she was a child, and she can't get anything, even now, does her boyfriend give her a hand?
