Yang Xiaolin stood motionless, he didn't even look at the money on the table, he just stared at Jing Xue's face, at her reddish eyes, at the tears on her face, and at the flickering eyes she wanted to avoid his gaze......

Jing Xue turned around, stood at the window again, turned her back to Yang Xiaolin and said, "This is the five thousand yuan that I owe you." Put it away, plus the money you earn from your part-time job these days, the tuition for the first year should be enough. By the way, I forgot to tell you, the boss rented a staff dormitory near the clothing store, and I will move there tomorrow. ”

"I went to Times Garment City at noon today. Yang Xiaolin said suddenly, Jing Xue's body was obviously stiff.

"I rested in the staff dormitory at noon. What are you going to do, did you fall in love with any girl in the clothing city yesterday, do you want me to introduce you to it? Jing Xue still turned her back to Yang Xiaolin, and said in a relaxed tone.

"Of course I'm looking for you. Yang Xiaolin didn't know where Jing Xue's money came from, although he was a little worried about what she had done for the money, but he still said in a calm tone: "Do you remember what I said when you invited me to dinner that day? Corn is delicious, but I don't think it's always good to eat corn every day. ”

Jing Xue's body relaxed again, but her hands on the edge of the window trembled slightly.

"I didn't see you, so I asked your colleague. Yang Xiaolin continued: "She said ......"

"Say no more. Jing Xue suddenly said: "The money on the table is what I owe you, and you deserve it." As for where I got the money, you don't care. ”

"Always ask clearly. Yang Xiaolin's voice was still very peaceful, but full of persistence.

"Who are you, why do you care about me? Jing Xue's feelings suddenly broke out, she turned around, her face was already full of tears, and she roared loudly at Yang Xiaolin: "You just worked as a hired worker for me for a few days, I owe you five thousand yuan, and now I have returned all the money to you, why do you care about me, what qualifications do you have to manage me......

Jingxue roared loudly, tears still flowed out of her eyes, crossing her beautiful but sad and painful face at this time, and the pear blossoms brought rain to make people feel sad.

Yang Xiaolin didn't interrupt Jing Xue's venting, he just quietly observed Jing Xue, from head to toe, and then from legs to waist, he breathed a sigh of relief, according to some of Lao Tian's statements, Jing Xue's body has not changed, although he doesn't believe in Lao Tian's words, but at this time he still prefers that what Lao Tian said is indeed true.

No, it seems that something is missing, Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed slightly......

"Say, why do you care about me? Jingxue, who is usually calm and rational, is like an ordinary girl in love at this time, swaying a little unreasonable.

Yang Xiaolin shrugged his shoulders and smiled, and said, "Because I am your landlord." ”

"The host...... You ......" replied a little absurdly, but Jingxue suddenly quieted down, no longer roaring, no longer accusing, just looked at Yang Xiaolin a little stunned, and then held her face with both hands and cried bitterly.

Tears were stopped by the hands, but they oozed from between the fingers of the hands.

Behind the hands, the slender and graceful neck shrunk slightly...... Suddenly, Yang Xiaolin suddenly found that her white neck was empty, and there was a necklace hanging in that position before.

Yang Xiaolin suddenly knew where the money came from, and at the same time knew why Jingxue cried so sadly, almost to the point of grief-stricken Cheng Dù.

He walked up to Jingxue in a few steps and pulled her hand away to cover her face.

Jing Xue looked at Yang Xiaolin with some surprise, obviously frightened by his sudden movements, but there was no fear in her eyes, only surprise and puzzlement, and it could be seen that she had a lot of trust in him.

"Where's your necklace? The necklace your mother gave you. Yang Xiaolin asked, staring at Jing Xue's face.

Jing Xue's face turned pale for a moment, and she wanted to shake off Yang Xiaolin's hand, but he held it tightly and couldn't shake it off at all.

"I don't care where my necklace went. Jing Xue tried her best to make her tone cold, but she still trembled uncontrollably.

Yang Xiaolin still held Jing Xue's hand tightly, looked at her snow-white neck, shook his head, and said, "You sold the necklace, and the money on the table is what you got from selling the necklace." ”

"The necklace is mine, I can sell it if I want. Jing Xue didn't try to break free of Yang Xiaolin's hand anymore, her red eyes glared at him fiercely, as if she wanted to vent all the anger in her heart on him.

"That necklace is the only thing your mother left you. Yang Xiaolin shook his head and said, "I don't need this money now, you go and redeem the necklace." ”

"That's your tuition, if you don't have this money, how can you go to school, the money is what I owe you, even if you sell the necklace, I have to pay it back to you. Jing Xue shouted hoarsely again: "The necklace was just sold to a pawnshop, and I can redeem it after I make money." ”

"Then go and redeem it now. Even if I go to ask Uncle Yu and ask Sister Liu to borrow money, I can't use the money you used to sell the necklace. Did you know that the necklace now represents your mother? Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaolin's face also showed anger, and he pulled Jingxue fiercely and walked out of the living room.

The two got on the elevator, Jingxue quieted down, she lowered her head, she didn't know what she was thinking, when the elevator stopped on the first floor, she seemed to have figured out something, and whispered: "I don't have any money on me to redeem the necklace." ”

"How much does it cost to redeem a necklace. Yang Xiaolin pulled Jingxue out of the elevator and walked forward step by step.

"Twenty percent more than when it was sold, five thousand pieces of necklaces were sold, and six thousand dollars were redeemed. Jingxue said.

"What a loser's daughter. I have the money, though. Yang Xiaolin pulled Jingxue to the door of the community and asked, "Where is the pawnshop?" ”

"Your money, your tuition fees are not enough. Jing Xue lowered her head and said, "I'll go and borrow money from Sister Liu." ”

"Hey. Yang Xiaolin suddenly laughed, the laughter contained self-deprecation and playfulness, Jing Xue looked up at him with some puzzlement, not knowing why he suddenly laughed like this.

"You are the eldest lady of the Ouyang family, you have grown up in brocade clothes and jade food since you were a child, and you have the dignity and pride that you can't bow your head to. Yang Xiaolin said and pointed at himself again.

"I am a poor boy from a mountain village, who came to Puhai alone, and I have no tuition and living expenses, so I have to earn it all by myself. Hehe, but there seems to be a little bit of a stinky temper that is unwilling to bow his head and refuse to lower his voice. ”

"We can't let go of our hearts, we can't let go of that little bit of pride and bad temper to borrow money. So I worked several jobs a day, from morning till night, getting up early and working in the dark, so you were tormented by hope and loss every day, selling your jewelry one by one in order to make ends meet and pay back the money. ”

"It's just that your pride and my stinky temper don't seem to have been sold. Yang Xiaolin shook his head at Jingxue: "But your necklace is more precious than your pride, and it is also more precious than my stinky temper." ”

"That's the only souvenir my mother left me, why do you ...... too" Jing Xue looked at Yang Xiaolin with some surprise, not knowing why he cared about her necklace.

"By the way, forget jì to tell you a good news. Yang Xiaolin said: "I rented out an apartment today and received 6,000 rent. But because of your actions, I now have to tell you bad news. ”

"That's when the money you owe me goes from five thousand to six thousand. Yang Xiaolin said and urged again: "Now let's go to the pawnshop and spend the six thousand yuan, aren't you afraid that the necklace will be favored by others." ”

If it had been before today, Jing Xue would have congratulated Yang Xiaolin with a smile on her face for renting out the apartment and making up enough tuition, but at this time, she just nodded silently and walked forward.

When Yang Xiaolin redeemed the necklace with six thousand yuan and a pawn ticket to redeem the necklace and handed it over to Jing Xue, Jing Xue's tears flowed out again, she hugged the necklace tightly and whispered to herself: "I'm sorry, Mom." I will never do this kind of sorry thing for you again. ”

The night was thick, there were few pedestrians on the sidewalk, Yang Xiaolin walked in front, unhurried, as if pacing after a meal, Jingxue pressed the necklace tightly to her chest, silently following behind Yang Xiaolin.

On the long sidewalk, the rhythmic footsteps of the two were heard, and Jingxue's footsteps suddenly stopped.

"Why ......" Jingxue asked, "Why do you seem to cherish this necklace more than me?" ”

Yang Xiaolin slowly turned around, Jing Xue raised her head and met his gaze, at this moment she seemed to feel deep regret and heartfelt sadness from his clear eyes.

"Do you remember what your mother looked like? Yang Xiaolin asked without answering.

Jing Xue's brows raised slightly, as if she was trying to recall, and then nodded very firmly, and said, "Of course I remember, my mother is the most beautiful woman in the world. ”

"It's wonderful. Yang Xiaolin said heartily: "I really envy you, I can still remember my mother's face." ”

"You ......" Jingxue's eyebrows stood up, and she was about to get angry, she felt that Yang Xiaolin was ridiculing her mother.

"I've never seen my parents since I can remember. Yang Xiaolin closed his eyes as he spoke, and said, "I only see them occasionally in my sleep, and I don't know that they are traces left by memories, and they all talk about fantasy." ”

Jingxue was stunned and looked at Yang Xiaolin, who had closed her eyes, her eyebrows lowered, and her expression like a dream, where could she have thought that this optimistic, upward, and sometimes very angry boy would have such a vacancy and sadness in her heart.

"If my parents leave me anything, I will guard it with my life. Yang Xiaolin opened his eyes, looked at the necklace held in Jing Xue's palm, and said, "There is no reason, no excuse, and no one can take it away from me." Protect it, she is a talisman for your life. ”
