This suffocating sense of embarrassment, as the two parties involved, is far less clear than Du Jinnian, who is a bystander. This may be because the two girls sitting opposite each other are in a sense immersed in their own thoughts and can't extricate themselves.

Although Du Jinnian felt a little uncomfortable, he also understood that it was absolutely not something to do to break this atmosphere recklessly.

In the end, it was Yu Qiaoqiao who was the first to break the silence, and she asked Ruan Wan -

"You're studying here now?"

“…… Well. Ruan Wan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded her head. If she could, she didn't want to talk about it, because she felt that reading was ...... Maybe it's a mine that shouldn't be touched.

Yu Qiaoqiao hooked the corners of her mouth: "Since you were in junior high school, you said that you must study here in the future, and you finally achieved what you wanted, it's good." Are you studying at the same university you've always wanted to go to?"

Ruan Wan nodded lightly again.

"Really......" Yu Qiaoqiao lowered her head, looked at her hands full of chilblains and cracks, and asked, "Where is Tingting?

"Nope. Ruan Wan shook her head, "She's in another city." She paused and said, "She would be glad to know that I had seen you." ”

What responded to her was a soft "um" given to her by Yu Qiaoqiao a moment later.

Two friends who have reunited after a long absence are facing the dilemma of having nothing to say at the moment.

Ruan Wan, who was worried that she would accidentally hurt the other party, didn't dare to ask questions at will, she had already seen the broken color in Qiaoqiao's eyes that would only appear after being tortured, how could she bear to let her show this kind of look again and again?

And Yu Qiaoqiao didn't know what to say. Because......

It's too big.

It's only been two years since they have seen each other, but the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

Wanwan fulfilled her wish and entered the first-class university of her dreams, receiving the best education. With a beautiful face and exquisite clothes, and a very compatible boyfriend by his side, no matter how you look at the future, it will be a smooth road, which is like a standard template for "life winners".

What about her?

The nightmare was followed by a series of nightmares, and it was not easy to escape from that nightmare, but it was only on the streets. His face is haggard, his body is emaciated, his clothes are shabby, he is alone, and the future is shrouded in a fog, and everywhere he can see is mud. She walked through it with difficulty, and she didn't know how long it would take.

Yes, they're friends.

Very good friend.

However, the most basic element of friendship is equality. Of course, in Wanwan's opinion, they may still be equal, and of course, she still tries to get her mood back to the past, but ...... They're really not in the same position anymore.

She didn't want to talk about what had happened to her in the past two years, because it was a stab in a wound that hadn't healed yet.

She didn't want to reminisce about the past, because that would only make her more miserable - the too pure and sunny past was no different from poison to her now.

So, what should she say to Wanwan?

How did it get to rent this house?

How did you find that not-so-stellar job?

How do you wash the dishes to make them cleaner?

How can you try to avoid malicious harassment by some guests?

How to be a little lazy in the busy work?

……

Oh, even if she is willing to say it, Wanwan is willing to listen, what's the point?

It's not a chat at all, it's just one-sided perfunctory and one-sided sympathy, that's all.

The silence was too long.

The atmosphere became more and more stagnant.

Yu Qiaoqiao even thought that it was not a bad thing to be able to reunite with Wanwan, but ...... Not reuniting is not necessarily a bad thing.

Ultimately......

"Bang!"

A sudden loud bang interrupted their musings.

The three of them subconsciously looked towards the door.

Someone seemed to be kicking the door outside, and the lock, which was not very strong, was shaky under the kicking action.

The sound of kicking the door was accompanied by a series of swearing.

"Little slut! What are you doing in there with the door closed in broad daylight!"

"I'm kind enough to let you stay! I won't give me the rent until now! If I don't pay the rent, I won't even touch my hand! I really think I'm a young lady? Can a serious woman live here?!"

"You-"

The door was finally kicked open.

The middle-aged fat man with the wine bottle staggered in, and the strong smell of alcohol on his face made the three people in the room frown at the same time. The man was disheveled, his face was red, and he looked like he had drunk too much.

The fat man walked in, his eyes stared at the room in a daze, his eyes first fell on Yu Qiaoqiao, and then on Ruan Wan, and he didn't move away for a long time. The latter frowned closer in the man's dark and longing gaze, and before he could say anything, he only felt that a figure stopped in front of him, it was Jin Nian.

Because of this action, the middle-aged man's gaze naturally fell on Du Jinnian.

"Hey, it's you!" The middle-aged man looked at it, then at Yu Qiaoqiao, with a malicious smile on his face, "I'll just say how could you help this little for no reason, it turns out that two people have a leg." How?, bring your girlfriend to play with?" As he spoke, he staggered into the room, his fat face full of disgusting smiles, "How about taking me one?"

"Get out. ”

"What?" the man stood up and squinted at Yu Qiaoqiao, who was standing up, "You say it again?"

"I said, get out of here!" Yu Qiaoqiao clenched her fists and shouted in a low voice.

"Didn't you say that when you begged me to take you in?" the man sneered and said, "Why? When you find the gold owner, you feel that you have confidence?" He raised his hand, drunkenly pointed at Yu Qiaoqiao and said, "Brother, I sue you, rotten goods are rotten goods everywhere, how can a boy like this look at you, at most, it's just to play with you." As he spoke, he put his hand in his pocket, took out a ten-yuan bill, waved it and said, "All feelings are false, only money is real!"

“……”

"Come!" the man let out a laugh that sounded like a pig's crow, "get down and shout 'good brother,' and the money will be given to you." ”

Yu Qiaoqiao trembled.

"What? Ten dollars is not enough?" the man snorted softly, "Do you think you are worth much? Of course," he looked Yu Qiaoqiao up and down, his little eyes were full of greed, "You are prettier than her, and it is not impossible to ......add money" As he spoke, he clenched the wine bottle in his hand and approached the three of them step by step.

The man was now completely swept away by the truth, so much so that a dangerous thought welled up in his heart. Seeing that he was close enough to the tall young man, he suddenly raised the wine bottle in his hand!

"You give me ......"

"Bang!"

The two sounds were made almost simultaneously.

"You-" The middle-aged man who was hit by a heavy object stared wide, and before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground with a "snap".

Du Jinnian and Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Ruan Wan with incredible eyes at the same time, yes, those two sounds were made by a man, and the other ...... It was she who directly pushed Du Jinnian away, got up and gave the fat man a stool.

The chair, which was already crumbling, shattered into several pieces after completing its ultimate mission.

Ruan Wan held the back of the chair in one hand, raised her foot and kicked the wine bottle on the ground away, trying to suppress the extremely strong heartbeat for a moment, and said to the young man and girl beside her, "Let's go." ”

Du Jinnian: "......"

Yu Qiaoqiao: "......"

Ruan Wan just now seemed to be domineering, yes, in fact, she was quite bottomless in her heart. She had already seen that the man who had drunk too much wine was thinking of being rude, from the moment he gripped the bottle and approached. She didn't have time to remind Jin Nian and Qiaoqiao, who didn't seem to notice this, so she could only react by herself, and since there was no way to avoid it, it was better to strike first. However, in the end, this is the other party's territory, and in his roar just now, many people have already run out of the rest of the "pigeon cages", standing at the door in twos and threes to watch.

Some have numb eyes, some have worried eyes, and some have a similar taste to fat men in their eyes.

Ruan Wan began to feel that the situation was a bit troublesome.

Du Jinnian was also aware of this, and quietly inserted his hand into the pocket of his clothes, planning to call the police directly if something was wrong.

The three of them walked out of the door, and the people at the door got out of the way.

At that moment, the man in the house shouted, "Stop them!"

The man at the door didn't move.

"Whoever stops them for me, I'll give them a month's rent!"

Some people are starting to get excited.

At this moment, Ruan Wan knew that she had done something wrong. It was the first time in her two lives that she had encountered such a situation that she didn't know what to do. And at this moment, a sentence suddenly came to her mind.

"The evil are afraid of the fierce, the fierce are afraid of the cross, and the evil are afraid of the deadly. ”

The person who said this at the time later added: "Of course, 'don't die' is only rarely encountered, so if you really meet that kind of guy who is fierce and inward-looking, you only need to be fiercer than the other party." ”

Then Joe added very wittily: "To put it simply, 'It's either cowardice or do!'"

Ruan Wan didn't know why the originally ordinary "anti-wolf teaching" that day ended up deriving this theory, but in fact, it was quite correct. If they had shown enough strength just now to make this man fearful, the current situation might not have been so strict.

Unfortunately, she found out too late.

The only thing Ruan Wan is glad about now is that because she was too nervous, she didn't drop the back of her chair, at least smashing herself...... It's still possible. It's just that......

For the first time, she began to complain that her force value was too low.

At this moment-

"Where is Tu Laosan?"

Suddenly, there was such a shout in the hallway.

Many people looked back and saw a group of sturdy men walking in one after another, pushing the people who were blocking in the middle of the road to the side along the way.

"What about Tu Laosan?"

The people who were originally a little moved by the fat man's words quickly dodged away when they heard this, and some people even whispered, "He is in that room", which shows that Tu Laosan is the middle-aged man who was hit by Ruan Wan's stool just now, and ...... As a landlord, his popularity is really poor.

The man in charge walked to the door, looked at the middle-aged man in the room who finally got up, and smiled: "You are really here." As he spoke, he glanced at Ruan Wan and the other three as if he were inadvertent, waved his hand and said, "Adults are doing business, what are children looking at here?" ”

Ruan Wan was relieved.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that the man she didn't know looked at her very kindly, so she thanked her in a low voice, and took Yu Qiaoqiao's hand and left quickly.

It wasn't until the three of them walked out of this area and re-entered the crowded "world" that Ruan Wan breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head sideways and said to Yu Qiaoqiao apologetically: "Sorry, Qiaoqiao, I've caused you trouble." ”

made such a fuss, Yu Qiaoqiao obviously couldn't go back to live.

In other words, from the moment she walked into that house, Ruan Wan made up her mind that even if she was scolded by Qiaoqiao, she would never allow her to live in that place again, absolutely not.

Yu Qiaoqiao shook her head and didn't say anything.

She didn't know that living there was not a long-term plan, Tu Laosan didn't have any good intentions since he agreed to rent a house to her, but it was winter now, and it was really not easy to find a place to stay where she could default on rent. It's just that Tu Laosan's actions are more urgent than she thought, if it weren't for Wanwan's ...... today The consequences are unimaginable. She is not a person who does not know what to do, so how can she blame Wanwan for helping her because of this?

Ruan Wan smiled at Yu Qiaoqiao and silently clenched her hand.

At the same time, Tu Laosan's mood was confused.

What is it like to be surrounded by a bunch of muscular guys?

…… It won't be excitement anyway, because he's not a.

Especially......

"Big brother, we don't seem to know each other, do we?"

He himself knows that he is not a good person, but he will not offend this kind of person who is very difficult to mess with at first glance!

"I don't know. ”

“…… Then you're looking for me?"

The man at the head lowered his head, looked at Tu Laosan, who didn't dare to get up after being kicked to the ground by himself, and said with a sneer: "Because one of our friends wants to know you." ”

As he spoke, the door behind them was pushed open.
