Chapter 33 Grasping the Present
Lu Xiaobai walked out of the phone booth, a cool evening breeze blew, and he felt extremely comfortable; He seemed to see his aunt's ugly yellow face mixed with shame and anger, he understood his aunt's temper, and he believed that she would rush over to find his daughter, and then there would be a better drama on stage! He decided to find a place opposite the Regal Hotel to hide his body and enjoy this emotional drama that was entangled because of **.
He did this entirely to avenge the hatred of being oppressed by his aunt in those years, so he had an indescribable pleasure and hatred in his heart; I didn't tell my uncle about my aunt's affair with her concubine before, because he was afraid that after my aunt was beaten and scolded by my uncle, she would settle accounts with herself.
He also hesitated for a moment before calling his aunt, because he thought that doing so might hurt his cousin, although his cousin was also sorry for him, but in general it was not bad for him, but thinking of his aunt's various bullies against him, the evil idea of revenge gradually took over, and he wanted her to taste what it was like for his daughter to be played with by his concubine.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, he saw his aunt get out of a taxi, and then she hurried towards the hotel with her ass as big as a millstone.
He began to use his imagination again: when the aunt fiercely snatched the room key from the waiter, hurriedly ran upstairs and opened the door, and saw his daughter and his concubine lying on the bed, the aunt was furious, roared and rushed to their side, picked up her arm is a few crisp slaps, slapped them in the face, and scolded hoarsely: "shameless dog man and woman" Wu Hongyan hurriedly pulled the snow-white quilt to cover his body, and looked at his mother who was angry for unknown reason in horror and dazedness; Zhou Guofu knew that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and pants and rushed out of the door
He waited patiently for a long time, and did not see Zhou Guofu, who had fled unbearably in his imagination, but saw his aunt walking out of the hotel with Wu Hongyan's ears twisted, Wu Hongyan cried and said: "It's my business for me to find an old man, can you manage it?" I'm not alive anymore, not alive anymore! ”
Her mother said sharply, "I won't stop you from whoever you are looking for, but you can't find him!" ”
Wu Hongyan asked puzzledly: "Why?" Why! ”
Her mother didn't answer, just cursed. They quickly got into a taxi that had just stopped on the side of the road, and the taxi took them away slowly.
The next morning, when Lu Xiaobai was still in his sleep, he faintly heard someone knocking on the door, he suddenly woke up, got up, faced the door and asked, "Which one?" ”
Outside, he said: "Lin Ruoxi; Xiaobai, are you up? Because through a heavy wooden door, her voice was faint, as if it came from a distant planet.
Lu Xiaobai said, "You wait, I'll get dressed." He quickly dressed and opened the door, where she stood in the doorway with a light blue lady's bag in her hand.
Lin Ruoxi said: "I'm going to find a cosmetology apprenticeship, I want to ask you to accompany me, do you have time?" ”
Lu Xiaobai readily agreed: "Yes, come in." ”
Lin Ruoxi said: "I'll go out to buy breakfast, you brush your teeth and wash your face, get it done, come down quickly." After speaking, he turned to leave, and the empty staircase sounded the monotonous footsteps of "橐, 橐, 橐", which seemed particularly quiet.
After Lu Xiaobai finished freshening up, he went downstairs. He saw Lin Ruoxi holding a sealed cup of soy milk and two baked cakes in his hand, standing quietly under a weeping willow, the wicker swaying slightly in the morning breeze. He walked over, and Lin Ruoxi handed him the food. He asked, "Why don't you eat it?" ”
"I've eaten it a long time ago. Eat quickly, finish eating and leave. ”
Lu Xiaobai took a bite of the baked cake, which was soft and sweet, and took a sip of soy milk into the blister tube, which was also fragrant and delicious, he chewed and sipped slowly, and felt that there was an "invisible thing" that was sweeter than this food.
It was half past eight in the morning, and there were still many people on the road who were hurrying to work; The delicate sun sheds thousands of golden rays, and people and objects near and far are bathed in the intoxicating sunshine.
Lu Xiaobai and Lin Ruoxi walked side by side, talking and laughing, attracting passers-by from time to time. He saw that some shops on the side of the road had their doors closed and were not yet open, so he said, "The beauty salons are open late, and they may not be open yet." ”
"I know this, let's go to People's Square and look for a job later."
"Did you sue Feng Tianyu about finding a job?"
"No, I don't want to sue him."
Lu Xiaobai asked curiously, "Why?" ”
"I said that if I don't repeat it, he will try his best to dissuade him, and if I sue him, I will find a job, and I will not rush him into something like that." Lin Ruoxi sneezed, and then said, "He's good at everything, but sometimes he likes to meddle in things." ”
Lu Xiaobai said with some meaning: "You have this relationship, he should understand you." ”
"But sometimes he doesn't understand me at all."
Lu Xiaobai thought that she and Feng Tianyu were lovers, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he said hypocritically: "You are a couple, if you can't understand each other, how can you do it?" ”
"What do you say? I'm in a relationship with him, who do you listen to? Lin Ruoxi looked surprised, stopped and looked sideways at him and asked.
Lu Xiaobai saw that she reacted so strongly, and said in her heart, when is it, what are you pretending to be? He said: "What Yang Tingting said that day, you won't forget jì so quickly, right?" ”
Lin Ruoxi sneered and said, "Yang Tingting is because she was ridiculed by everyone, she is angry, do you also believe it?" ”
"Are you and Feng Tianyu really not in a relationship?"
Lin Ruoxi was shocked when she saw him, and thought it was very interesting, and said in her heart, why do you always care about this? No, you're having a crush on me, are you? She said seriously: "He and I are really friends, and we have never mentioned personal feelings to each other. ”
Lu Xiaobai believed her, he was very happy in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface, and said in his heart: Since this is the case, then I can rest assured that I can boldly pursue you in the future, this is really exciting good news!
Lin Ruoxi is the first woman he has a crush on in his life, and he feels that having a crush on someone is sacred, wonderful and sweet, and at the same time accompanied by an inexplicable faint sadness, like a few wisps of smoke. He didn't know how he could have such an untimely sadness at this moment.
They came to the crowded People's Square and wandered around for nearly half an hour, and then Lin Ruoxi handed her handbag to Lu Xiaobai, who said she was going to the toilet; He sat on a marble bench by the square and waited for her.
But after waiting for nearly half an hour, and Lin Ruoxi didn't come back, Lu Xiaobai couldn't help but wonder, what was going on with her, it couldn't take so long to relieve her? He decided to go over and have a look.
He walked quickly through the wide square into a dark and narrow alley, and when he reached the end of the alley, he saw Lin Ruoxi at a glance, she was being held hostage by a big boy in a black and white contrasting school uniform. The boy grabbed her arm tightly with both hands, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get out of control, and she said loudly: "Duan Peng, let go, do you think this is interesting!" ”
"I know that the melon is not sweet, but I can't control the urge to love you" The voice of the person known as Duan Peng trembled slightly.
Lu Xiaobai rushed over in a few arrow steps, grabbed Duan Peng's arm and pulled it out hard, and said loudly: "Let go, what are you doing here?!" ”
"Who are you?" Duan Peng asked in surprise, he didn't know the details of Lu Xiaobai, and seeing his domineering momentum, he felt that this person was definitely not easy to deal with, so he let her go stupidly.
"I am her, can you control her?" Lu Xiaobai raised his fist angrily and wanted to beat him, but was stopped by Lin Ruoxi in time.
Duan Peng's face was very ugly, staring at Lin Ruoxi's eyes and asking, "Is your boyfriend Feng Tianyu or him?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, Lu Xiaobai is my ordinary friend!" Lin Ruoxi said angrily, rubbing his wrist that was red and swollen by Duan Peng, and said to Xiaobai's burning eyes, "Let's go!" ”
Lu Xiaobai glared at Duan Peng hostilely, then turned around and followed Lin Ruoxi.
After they were two hundred meters away from Duan Peng, Lin Ruoxi spoke. She was still very angry and said, "Duan Peng's saliva is really annoying!" I've said several times that I don't like him, and he just pesters me! What else do you say because he likes me very much that he was admitted to the university, I am a hero, and he also wants to bring me, the so-called hero, to Shanghai, he wants to live with me while studying, hey, it's really whimsical, who is rare! ”
Lu Xiaobai handed her the handbag and said, "You classmate is really a madman!" ”
"How do you know he's in my class?" Lin Ruoxi was surprised.
"I guessed by chance." Lu Xiaobai wanted to say that Feng Tianyu told him that Duan Peng had written her an anonymous love letter, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that she would be unhappy to say it, so he "swallowed" what he wanted to say.
Lin Ruoxi said: "I don't know who is full of food and support, tell him that I am in love with Feng Tianyu, he is very anxious He sued me, he once ran to the door of my community to wait for the rabbit twice, but he didn't see me in and out - if you didn't rush over, he would definitely be pestering me." ”
Lu Xiaobai said with some worry: "I wonder if he will come to you?" If he still dares to pester you, you sue me and I'll fix him! ”
"No, you don't! It's a matter of mine with him and I'll take care of it. ”
They walked a few bustling streets, and as long as they saw beauty salons, Lin Ruoxi went in and asked if they wanted to recruit beauty apprentices, and asked eleven of them, but they either simply said that they would not recruit them, or they would not recruit them for the time being.
Lin Ruoxi's legs and feet softened, she sighed, she wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with a tissue, and said discouragedly: "I can't walk anymore, let's go back." ”
Lu Xiaobai asked, "You don't want to look for a job?" ”
"It's not that I don't want to look for it, but I can't find it," Lin Ruoxi said with her hand to put a canopy above her forehead to block the sunlight of the white flowers, "This kind of apprenticeship is hard to come by, and you can only rely on luck - after my grandmother's 80th birthday, I will find a job casually, and then change jobs when I have the opportunity." ”
Lu Xiaobai nodded.
Lu Xiaobai said: "That's it, you go back first, and then I'll ask other beauty salons if they recruit apprentices, and if you do, I'll go back and tell you." ”
He happily thought that if you love someone, you should think about her everywhere, work hard for her, and even go to the soup for her, only in this way will she be moved by what you do, and you will be able to grab her heart.
"Xiaobai, how hard it is, look at this hot sun, it will tan you into an African, or don't forget it." Lin Ruoxi's eyes showed a gleam of gratitude.
Lu Xiaobai joked: "Men are not afraid of being exposed to the sun, only women are afraid of tanning their skin." ”
Lin Ruoxi smiled: "If you're not afraid of the sun, just go." ”
