Chapter 30 The world is not so beautiful
Tang Xin is a very pure girl, although she was too good in school to have no friends in high school, but after going to college, she has made some changes for some special reasons.
For Tang Xin, in her nearly 20 years of life, the most terrifying scene was undoubtedly when she was pulled out by the woman in red, and at that moment, Li Lei descended from the sky like a savior wearing a golden armor suit on colorful auspicious clouds, so Tang Xin trusted Li Lei very much.
At the very least, in Tang Xin's heart, Li Lei is a good person.
And now, Tang Xin is a little incomprehensible, why should the good man Li Lei let himself see this scene happening in front of him.
Under the gaze of Tang Xin and Li Lei, the old man who was lying on the ground and begging just now was being helped up by two young and strong men, all three of whom had smiles on their faces, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
"What's going on?" Tang Xin's eyes widened suddenly, completely unaware of what was going on.
Li Lei laughed: "What, don't you understand?"
Tang Xin nodded, she really didn't understand,
Li Lei shrugged: "A person's kindness actually needs to be a little sharp, know people with eyes, and keep an eye on it." While there's nothing wrong with being kind, sometimes we really need a little shrewdness, knowing that not everyone is equally kind. ”
"What do you mean, they're liars?" Tang Xin asked, and at this moment, her face was slightly pale, obviously disappointed.
Li Lei shook his head: "It's not like a liar, it's just that people are willing to live like this." ”
After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "To be precise, they regard this as a kind of work, a means of making a living. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing such a ridiculous answer, it was obvious that Tang Xin was completely confused, but he just watched the old man walk into the underground shopping mall with the support of two young people who were obviously his juniors, and after a while, when the three of them changed their clothes and came out, although the old man was still lame, he had already become a well-dressed old man.
"This, this ......" Tang Xin couldn't say a word, obviously the scene she saw today had a great impact on her.
Li Lei couldn't help but regret it a little, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Let's go, there's nothing more to see. Li Lei smiled and stood up.
Tang Xin followed behind Li Lei with some distraction, it was obvious that today's events had a great impact on her, after all, a girl like her probably had never had the opportunity to come into contact with the dark side of this society, in Tang Xin's past cognition, he was helping those beggars by giving them money.
As everyone knows, in the eyes of some begging people, their kindness is part of their work.
It's a sad story, but it's true.
Sitting on the bus home, Tang Xin didn't speak, and Li Lei didn't say anything, just sat there silently.
Because of his father's work, he occasionally sees some information about this aspect, and for Li Lei, he has more maturity and understanding than most of his peers, and similarly, he has lost a lot of innocence.
"Thank you. ”
The bus slowly stopped near the intersection of Sanzhong Road, Tang Xin was about to get off, and before getting off, she suddenly said to Li Lei.
Li Lei was stunned for a moment, then smiled, waved his hand, and watched the girl's back leave.
He knew that Tang Xin should have understood what he meant.
People have to grow up after all, and it is important to understand that warmth and smiles are not for everyone, and under the bottom line, we must learn to be indifferent and alienated.
Back home, Li Lei sat at the desk and wrote a diary, and after writing down today's events, in the end, he hesitated for a moment and added a sentence.
"Maybe I don't know what I'm going through, but I just hope that Tang Xin can live a happier life. ”
For a boy who is still in adolescence, this may be the truest portrayal of Li Lei's mood now.
Turning on the computer and logging in to QQ that he hadn't been on for a long time, Li Lei looked at the few netizens on it, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, his social circle is really narrow.
It is said that QQ advocates only loving strangers, but strangers like themselves are estimated to be the type that most netizens want to delete.
“?”
It was at this time that a question mark was sent.
Li Lei fixed his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled, the other party's screen name is Happy Little Girl, if he remembers correctly, it seems that he is a freshman who has just entered college like himself.
"Long time no see. Li Lei replied.
"yes, how are you doing?" said the happy little girl.
"It's okay, it's just a step-by-step process. Li Lei replied that he was telling the truth, college life is actually not as exciting as many people think, because the schedule is repeated every week, at most, everyone's own arrangements are different.
As for the wonderful college life depicted in novels, film and television dramas, Li Lei can only say that human fantasy is sometimes really a strange existence that can break through the sky.
"Me too. The happy little girl said.
"What university are you in?" asked Li Lei.
"Well...... happy little girl seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally replied: "Keep it secret." ”
Li Leiwan smiled, and didn't ask any more, everyone on the Internet has their own secrets, people don't want to say it, and it is impossible for them to get to the bottom of it.
has a definite fate, Li Lei has never been the kind of character who likes gossip, so naturally he will not be entangled in this issue.
"What major do you study?" Li Lei thought for a moment and asked.
"Computers. ”
"Me too, what a coincidence. ”
"yes, yes......"
Surprisingly, the two of them actually have the same major, and Li Lei was very interested in chatting with the happy little girl about some things about software programming. What surprised him even more was that although this happy little girl had just entered her freshman year like herself, she was far better than herself when it came to this knowledge.
Finally found a person with a common language, Li Lei was naturally quite happy, and unconsciously, he and this happy little girl chatted until more than ten o'clock in the evening.
"It's ten o'clock, I'm going to bed. Finally, the happy little girl typed to Li Lei.
Only then did Li Lei notice that the two had been chatting for so long.
"Thank you. Li Lei said.
"You're so funny. The happy little girl said.
"Goodbye, a chance to talk again. Li Lei had a smile on his face.
Seeing that the other party's avatar had become gray, indicating that she had gone offline, Li Lei retracted his gaze, straightened his arms and stretched his body.
People may encounter a lot of different doors, and sometimes, someone will open that door first, and sometimes, someone will open a door that should not be opened.
Sometimes, of course, opening a door may lead us to a completely different life.
