17. Chapter XVII

"Is this your father?" Jin Yu looked at the shriveled old man who walked down the elevator not only dumbly, but also had a pair of triangular eyes on his yellow and thin face, but there was still some brilliance in those cloudy eyes. The old man called Guan Xiao in his hometown dialect, Jin Yu didn't understand and turned to look at Guan Xiao who was stunned, her face couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness.

The old man didn't react when he saw Guan Xiao, and suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears, and the miserable cry echoed on this floor, causing the other neighbors to open the door one after another to take a look. Seeing this, Jin Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.

"Uncle, you get up first and then talk about it, this will not have a good impact" But the old man didn't listen to Jin Yu's dissuasion at all, but cried even harder, still shouting hometown dialect in his mouth, the clouds on Guan Xiao's face became heavier and heavier, she said something to her father, the old man was willing to stand up, Jin Yu hugged the old man in the back, Guan Xiao walked in front silently, and the three of them went back to the house like this.

The old man sat cramped on the sofa, but Guan Xiao didn't mean to say anything to him, and went directly into his bedroom, Jin Yu heard the sound of opening the drawer inside, and then Guan Xiao came out with a passbook, walked to the coffee table and slapped the passbook on it. Sitting indifferently on the edge of the sofa, the old man glanced at Guan Xiao, stretched out his hand and opened the passbook in his hand to look carefully, and saw the black letters printed on it, the old man excitedly put the passbook on the coffee table, and said to Guan Xiao, Guan Xiao's expression became more and more annoyed, and finally she couldn't help it, and yelled at the old man's love excitedly.

"How much do you owe outside? Not enough money for you to pay back? What exactly do you want? Mom was miserable by you, what is the meaning of your life, why don't you die outside! When the shriveled old man heard Guan Xiao's heartless words, he was furious and looked for something to hit Guan Xiao, "Uncle, if you have anything to say, don't be angry, Guan Xiao didn't mean it."

"I'm disciplining this unfilial girl, who are you!" The old man yelled at Jin Yu in Mandarin with a dialect accent.

"I'm Guan Xiao's roommate, you can dissipate your anger first" The good-tempered Jin Yu was not angry because of the old man's unkind tone, but she persuaded her gently. Guan Xiao, who was enraged, couldn't care about Jin Yu's persuasion, stood up with red eyes, and said back: "When you come, you ask me for money, it was like this two years ago, and it is still like this today!" Do you have a sense of responsibility as a father? You don't have to make a fuss so that everyone around me knows about you to be happy, right? You don't want to be ashamed, I still want to be embarrassed!!! ”

"You stinky girl, it's only right for your father to repay your debts! I've got a lot of skills outside! Dry scolding you Lao Tzu" The old man shouted and picked up an iron cardboard box on the coffee table and threw it at Li Guanxiao, seeing that the angular cardboard box was about to hit Guan Xiao's forehead, a figure blocked in front of her, and the sharp water chestnut just hit the bridge of Jin Yu's nose, and suddenly the blood flowed, and the sore feeling aroused Jin Yu's tears and forced her to squat down with her nose covered, Guan Xiao looked at the drops of scarlet and dazzling blood dripping on the ground and was stunned in place.

"Jin Yu! Are you okay! Guan Xiao grabbed Jin Yu's shoulders, blood flowed out of her fingers, and it looked terrifying, "Go to the hospital, Jin Yu, I'll accompany you to the hospital!" Guan Xiao couldn't take care of the perpetrator at this time, she helped Jin Yu up from the ground, put on shoes for her at the entrance, and the two of them went out of the door.

"Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal, just go to the clinic downstairs" Jin Yu, who was standing in the elevator, covered her nose and said to Guan Xiao, her mouth was now full of blood.

"Jin Yu is all my fault, you let him beat me to death, what are you going to do!" Guan Xiao grabbed Jin Yu's arm with apology and distress, if Jin Yu's beautiful face was ruined in this quarrel, she didn't know how to blame herself.

"It's okay, I know, it's just a scratch of the skin" Jin Yu covered her nose and said sullenly, it sounded like a crying voice, and Guan Xiao was also uncomfortable in her heart when she heard it.

The two got off the elevator and went straight to the clinic. Jin Yu sat on the chair, and the tingling sensation of disinfectant alcohol hitting the edge of the wound made her can't help but grasp Guan Xiao's hand.

"Doctor, you lighten it, she seems to be in pain" Guan Xiao couldn't help but gasp as she looked at it.

"Hmph, I don't know how you did this, you can't fight in the face! This wound is not very deep, if it is at a deep point, I am afraid that I will need stitches, and it will be difficult to break the appearance at that time! The doctor said angrily, but the movements of his hands were much lighter. Okay, I'll bandage you, come and change the medicine the next day, don't touch the water recently, and don't come to me when the time comes."

"Thank you, doctor, it's really troublesome" Jin Yu thanked him sullenly. This toss has been tossing for an hour, and it is close to ten o'clock when people come out of the clinic, and the wind blowing on the street has a hint of coolness, and it seems that autumn is not far away.

"Jin Yu, do you still hurt?" Guan Xiao raised her eyes and looked at Jin Yu who was holding the bridge of her nose, how would she go to work tomorrow, she was the one who caused her to become like this.

"It doesn't hurt, don't be sad, it's nothing, a little injury will be fine in a few days" Jin Yu used a calm tone to let Guan Xiao let go of the burden in her heart, and she didn't regret it when she blocked it for Guan Xiao.

"Hey......" Guan Xiao sighed frustratedly, she sat on a chair on the side of the road with her hands covering her face, looking tired, Jin Yu also saw Guan Xiao in such a state for the first time, and sat down with her, Jin Yu wanted to ask Guan Xiao and her father about it, but she couldn't think of how to start, but Guan Xiao took the initiative to tell Jin Yu's questions after a while.

"Two years ago, my dad also appeared once, he was the same as today, I didn't give money he went to my company to make trouble, and finally everyone knows that I couldn't stay in the company and resigned after changing several companies were not satisfactory, which did not find a new one. I'm also unlucky...... Ay...... Stalled this father, since he was a child he is no longer home, home is my mother single-handedly brought us up, my mother and my brothers and sisters are very fond of me, leave me with good food and clothing, at that time I thought even if I didn't have a father is not unhappy, until later I went to junior high school, once I went home and saw a group of people standing in my yard, my mother and my brothers and sisters surrounded inside, those people don't look like good people, one of the guys with a full face pushed my mother to the ground and kicked with his feet, and his mouth shouted viciously to pay back, At that time, I rushed in with a hot brain, protected my mother behind me, and yelled at those people, I looked at my brothers and sisters who were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and those people who looked fierce and vicious, so scared that my legs and stomach were twisting, but I couldn't back down, how could I stand by and watch if someone wanted to hurt my mother. The man I still remember grabbed my arm and said to my mother, if you don't pay back, you can chop off my hand, my mother was so frightened that she could only nod, and then when they left, my mother borrowed money everywhere and whispered, and took me and my brothers and sisters to kneel down and make money, which barely paid off my father's gambling debts outside. But he didn't have any intention of repenting," Guan Xiao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, those miserable days are still vivid in his mind.

"Jin Yu, do you think he is worthy of being a father? I wish he was dead! The sooner I die, the better, so that my mom won't suffer those grievances! A strong Guan Xiao shed tears at this time, she didn't dare to go home now, as soon as she came home and saw her mother with white hair and haggard, she was extremely panicked and inexplicably guilty, and her hatred for her father was even more, but her mother told her that after all, that person was her father, and she couldn't escape the fate.

"Guan Xiao, you look at me" Jin Yu listened to Guan Xiao's venting general narration, and the softness of her heart was even better, and the more she listened, the more distressed she felt for this woman who was not easy to grow up. "If there is anything in the future, you must tell me, I will help you, you remember" Jin Yu looked at her sincerely, "There are some heavy things that one person can't bear, just two people"

Looking at Jin Yu's eyes, Guan Xiao's nose was sour and he was about to shed tears, "Jin Yu, why are you so good to me, you should stay away from me, I have implicated you"

"Don't say that kind of thing, it's my volunteer to be nice to you, who made us ...... What about roommates" Jin Yu reluctantly stretched out her thumb to wipe away the tears from the corners of Guan Xiao's eyes, Guan Xiao who doesn't cry is the most beautiful.

"No one will be good to a person for no reason, Jin Yu, I understand your heart, but ......" Guan Xiao's heart silently said this sentence that Jin Yu couldn't hear, that sad feeling occupied Guan Xiao's entire brain, her tears flowed uncontrollably, she didn't know if she was crying for that hard-working self, or crying for herself to be beaten Jin Yu, in short, the pain from the heart made her unable to maintain her consistent style.

Seeing that Guan Xiao was crying so much, Jin Yu, who had no choice, hugged Guan Xiao in his arms, and gently patted her on the back to smooth her breath, "Don't cry, don't be sad, how can Guan Xiao be like a child"

"You're ...... You're a kid! Woo woo woo "Guan Xiao's snot and tears flowed horizontally, some of them dripped on Jin Yu's shoulders and neck, and the fiery temperature stimulated Jin Yu's cerebral cortex, how she wanted to kiss this helpless woman at this time and give her the strength from herself, but no, she couldn't destroy their relationship with her own selfish desires, she was afraid that after tearing that layer of paper, Guan Xiao would disappear like the table she once liked, she would rather look at Guan Xiao than never see her.

"Is it comfortable to cry? Let's go home, it's half past ten, and the old man is still at home" Jin Yu whispered in Guan Xiao's ear, Guan Xiao left Jin Yu's arms and wiped her crying red eyes. "Yes, go back quickly, if he does something at home, I will regret it too late!" After Guan Xiao finished speaking, he got up and wanted to rush back, but Jin Yu grabbed his wrist, "Guan Xiao, you promise me, don't get angry when you go back, talk about something"

Guan Xiao looked back at Jin Yu who was injured because of herself, she already regretted it, so she nodded directly, and the two of them hurried towards home.
