8. Indemnification
Xiao Xubai didn't refuse, and Gu Nanfeng had no room to refuse, she walked quickly in front of her with a book in her arms, eager to finish the campus covering an area of more than several thousand acres within a few minutes.
"Gu Nanfeng, I didn't have time to ask your name that night"
Xiao Xubai took a step on his long legs and easily blocked her way, "This is two thousand yuan as compensation for you"
She tucked a β‘β‘ between her fingertips, "The password is the last six digits of the card number"
It was too crazy a night, and she only remembered that after she was done, she took some money from her purse and threw it on her, and then fell into a deep sleep, until after dawn, she found a piercing red on the sheet.
She thought of the girl's young body, the immature buds, and the appearance of crying under her, and a subtle meaning suddenly surged in her heart.
A girl's most precious thing should not be wasted like this, even if it is not given to the person she loves the most.
A layer of tears instantly welled up in Gu Nanfeng's eyes, and there was also an inexplicable sense of shame hovering in his heart, "No need, Mr. Xiao, the money and goods have been cleared"
Except for Aya, no one has ever rejected her like this, Xiao Xubai felt a little unhappy in his heart, let go of his handβ‘β‘ fell to the ground, "Aren't you very short of money, love or not, whatever you want"
With that, he turned to leave, his long hair in an elegant arc in the air, fading away and disappearing from sight.
Gu Nanfeng really wanted to pick up the card and slam it on her face, it's amazing to be rich! Can you humiliate people at will if you have money?!
If you have money, you can ...... You can ...... So what about her?
The surging sadness swept over her, money is indeed possible, and even the book says that money can make ghosts grind.
She picked up the β‘β‘ from the ground, trotted to the lake, and threw her hand into the lake, venting her feelings that she had nowhere to put it.
After a busy day, Gu Nanfeng could finally sink himself into the soft sofa and support his forehead to digest the discomfort caused by alcohol.
Song Zhixia also sat down after removing her makeup, "It's so tiring to get married"
Shao Hui and the best man were still doing the final send-off work, Gu Nanfeng got up and stumbled to the bathroom, and then there was a rush of water.
Song Zhixia was a little worried, and also followed, patting her on the back to smooth her down, "Thanks to the two bottles of fake wine, otherwise who would have drunk it like this?"
Gu Nanfeng waved his hand to signal that he was fine, and turned his head away from the hand she was about to wipe the corners of his lips.
"If you get married again in the future, I won't come."
After vomiting, the whole person felt a little more comfortable, probably because he was slightly drunk, and he talked a little more, and joked.
Song Zhixia handed her the tissue and took a sip, "Go, what to say!" I wish I was divorced, you can go to my room to rest for a while, and let Shao Hui send you when it's over."
Gu Nanfeng just wanted to refuse, but there was another upheaval in her stomach, so she had no choice but to nod her head.
"You still have this class schedule" Because of the decoration of the wedding room, the whole room was spotlessly cleaned, light pink wallpaper, warm yellow lighting, the corners of the walls were full of balloons, and there were two old pieces of paper pasted on the computer desk by the window, which were familiar pen words.
"Of course, this is a precious memory from my student days."
Gu Nanfeng smiled, "Yes, at that time, you always loved to lie in bed and caused me to be late for you, so I had to copy the class schedule of your class and wake you up every day."
"Who said it was every day, but one day I went to call you"
Song Zhixia argued with reason, but Gu Nanfeng just pursed the corners of his lips and smiled, as if he had also fallen into memory.
"Hey, Mom" Gu Nanfeng's voice was a little weak, she clenched her fist to her lips and coughed lowly, Gu's mother still heard it.
"Do you have a cold?" It turned out to be a rare concern, Gu Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, and a warm current surged in his heart.
Even though she was top-heavy, she still tried to make her voice sound better, "It's okay Mom, it's just a little coughing"
Gu's mother sighed lightly as if relieved, and then her tone was a little cautious.
"That's good, Nanfeng, do you have enough living expenses?"
"Enough mother" thought she was worried about herself, Gu Nanfeng smiled on her lips: "Every day when I don't have classes, I will go to work part-time, and do promotions in a supermarket on weekends"
Gu's mother reluctantly laughed twice, "That's good, Nanfeng, that's it...... Didn't your mother call you a thousand yuan last time, and your uncle accidentally fell while riding an electric car at work, and the company didn't reimburse him...... If you have the money...... Wait a few days for your uncle's salary to be paid......"
"Got it, Mom" Gu Nanfeng interrupted her, the warm current in her heart disappeared without a trace, and only the chill that came out of the soles of her feet swept through her body.
"I'll send you the money later."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Nanfeng began to cough violently again, and when she got up to get water to drink, she heard her roommate's whisper.
"Oh, I don't know how to go and see if I have such a bad cold, what to do if I infect others"
With that, they walked out of the bedroom door in groups of people with books between them.
Gu Nanfeng pursed his lips tightly, and retracted back into the quilt, just take a day off to cover your sweat, it's just that I have a class today, and I haven't called Zhixia yet......
Her head was a mess, and she fell asleep in a daze, until a warm hand covered her forehead.
Song Zhixia's slightly anxious voice came from his ears, "What's wrong with you?" β
The temperature on his forehead was cool and comfortable, and Nanfeng opened his eyes in a daze, and said weakly: "I have a cold"
"If you have a cold, you should go to the school doctor, why don't you tell me?!" Song Zhixia's tone was stern, a little angry, and his delicate eyebrows were twisted together.
Xu is because of the cold, the south wind's voice is a little more soft, mixed with a thick nasal voice, which sounds exceptionally soft and glutinous.
"Just sleep for a while......"
Before the words fell, Song Zhixia was already sitting on the bed, and his hand reached into the quilt to scoop people up.
Nanfeng blushed, feeling her hand touch his waist, so he had to shrink it slightly, "I...... I'll get up on my own."
Song Zhixia was happy, "Why are you so nervous, I look like a woman from a good family β‘β‘"
At the end, the starry eyes lit up again, and a trace of cunning crossed the bottom of the eyes, "It's not that I'm not wearing underwear."
Deliberately biting the word heavy underwear, turning a few times on the tip of his tongue, Nanfeng made two sounds, originally there was a sickly flush on his face, and now even his smooth neck was covered with a faint layer of pink and white.
Seeing that she was really embarrassed, Song Zhixia laughed, and this smile dispelled some of the gloom in her heart.
"You get dressed first, I'll take you to the school doctor later"
"Good" Gu Nanfeng did not refuse her kindness again.
"Acute tonsillitis, medicine or injection?"
The school doctor was a middle-aged woman, and she lifted her chin to take a picture in the mirror, and her attitude was a little perfunctory.
"Injection"
"Take the medicine"
The two of them replied at the same time, and the school doctor looked at them in surprise, and his tone was not good, "What the hell?" β
Song Zhixia did not give up, "injection"
Nanfeng opened her mouth and didn't say anything in the end, and after the injection, she pointed to her bag, "Zhixia, the money is in my bag"
Song Zhixia rolled her eyes, took out a few hundred-yuan bills from her wallet and handed them over, stepped forward to help her up, "Let's go"
Gu Nanfeng's heart warmed, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he got up with her.
"Don't you still have lessons?" Song Zhixia, who originally thought that she was just accompanying her to see a doctor, returned to the dormitory, and put a cup of warm water into her hand after she was still busy.
"I'm on leave."
"......" Gu Nanfeng was silent for a moment, "I'm really fine...... No need to ......"
She was really flattered by such warmth.
When Gu Nanfeng was young, he lived at his mother's house one year and was punished for kneeling in the living room all night because he couldn't do math problems.
The dripping winter was shivering from the cold, and while doing the questions with tears, the tears blurred the ink and turned into stains on the paper that could not be erased.
The next day, when she had a high fever, her mother just threw her a hundred yuan and told her to go to a small clinic near her home by herself, and no one knew how she stumbled to the clinic when she was only six or seven years old.
How did he bite his lower lip tightly but was so scared that he refused to cry, lying on the small stool in the clinic, looking at the children around him who came to see the doctor were accompanied by their parents and probably from that time, Nanfeng understood something.
If you don't like you, no matter how hard you try, it still doesn't work.
"How can it be okay?! A small cold can also cause pneumonia! My brother is ......" Song Zhixia suddenly fell silent, she had always been bright and cheerful, and when she talked about her brother, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
"My brother was only three years old at the time, and he also had a high fever for a few days and nights, my father was on a business trip, and the nanny at home didn't take it too seriously, and when my father came back and sent him to the hospital, he was already ......."
Nanfeng held her hand, although weak, he still tried to smile at her, "Zhixia, I'm fine, really, you see"
She deliberately stood up and walked around the room, panting slightly, and her face flushed even more.
"Come on, go to bed with peace of mind" Song Zhixia gave her some sanitary eyes, "It is estimated that there is no porridge in the canteen at this time, what do you want to eat for dinner, I will call takeout"
"I have rice ...... in my cupboard," Nanfeng said weakly as he hugged the quilt.
"The pot is in the innermost part of the cabinet below."
ββ¦β¦β
How did she hide these things at the risk of being killed by the dormitory manager, Song Zhixia felt funny, but at the same time, there was a hint of sadness.
This girl from a poor family tried her best to save money, which made her feel that she was so lavish on weekdays.
When I opened the cabinet, I dropped a gray-black notebook from it, which showed that it had been preserved very well, and it smelled of ink.
Song Zhixia picked it up, and as soon as she held it in her hand, Nanfeng became excited and wanted to reach out and grab it, but she bounced it away.
"What, so mysterious? I can't even read it, so it can't be a love letter to anyone."
Nanfeng's face turned red again, "No, you think too much"
It was just a few essays or occasional sparkling stories, and she only took the notebook and a few clothes with her when she left home.
Song Zhixia opened it and turned a few pages, and was suddenly shocked, "Oh my God!! Nanfeng, you are still a talented girl, and you can write stories! β
Hearing that she was genuinely complimenting, Nanfeng smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's just that I was bored and wrote casually before."
In fact, it's just that there is too much love in her heart and nowhere to vent, so she finds an outlet, where she can speak freely, cry freely, laugh out loud, have a complete family, and have someone willing to accompany her to the end of her life.
This is probably the meaning of words for Gu Nanfeng.
The night outside the window was as thick as splashing ink, Gu Nanfeng leaned on the bed and quietly flipped through the book, the porridge in the small pot kept gurgling, and Song Zhixia put down the notebook in his hand from time to time and stirred it with a spoon.
In the silence of the room, Gu Nanfeng just read that line of poetry, may I be like the stars and the moon, and the light will be bright and clean every night.
The heart slammed a beat.
On the last page of the notebook, only one sentence of poetry was written, and when I met Jun Chu, it was like returning from an old friend.
The payment was made on September 25, and Song Zhixia closed the notebook and smiled.
"Nanfeng, have you ever thought about going over to contribute?"
Song Zhixia handed the boiled porridge to her, and sat next to her with a bowl of it.
Nanfeng lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hung a shadow on his eyelids, "The rejection letter has received a thick stack"
"Aren't there a lot of big publishing houses in City B, why don't you show them the manuscript, maybe it will be published?"
Her encouragement rekindled a glimmer of hope in Nanfeng's heart, and no one didn't want to be recognized.
It would be even better if I could get the manuscript fee, I just gave my mother a thousand yuan, and eating this month is a problem.
She nodded heavily, "Well, I'll try it when I have time"
"This is my work, you can take a look at it before you decide whether you want to sign it or not"
Gu Nanfeng, who was throwing himself around the Internet, finally met a publisher who was willing to meet her, so he spent more than a dozen yuan to print a few more satisfactory novels into lead scripts, with a cautious expression, and a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from his palm.
Ignoring the incomprehensible light under the lenses of the bald man sitting opposite, he curled his fingers and tapped lightly on the table, without picking up the manuscript handed by Nanfeng to look through.
"How old is Miss Gu this year?"
Nanfeng was stunned, a little confused, but still replied: "Nineteen years old"
The man nodded, then continued, "Locals?" β
"No, out-of-town students"
The man laughed, then picked up the manuscript and flipped through it roughly, "It's true that I'm very talented, but today's market is not just talented."
Nanfeng's confused gaze looked a little blurry under the warm light of the cafΓ©, and she deliberately put on light makeup for today's meeting, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and there was a kind of gentleness and touching unique to Jiangnan women.
The man covered her hand on the table, his rough palm slowly rubbing the back of her hand, and Nanfeng only felt that the coffee he had just drunk was sweet and disgusting.
"Miss Gu has a boyfriend?"
Seeing that she didn't immediately withdraw her hand, the man had a touch of certainty in his eyes, this kind of girl with dreams and untouched nature is best to deceive, it's just easy to catch.
Gu Nanfeng pursed the corners of his lips, and his face began to look ugly, "I'm sorry, I don't have the image of cooperating with you."
She wanted to withdraw her hand, but the man clenched it tighter, and the hypocritical smirk on the corner of her lips was a little more lewd.
"Miss Gu doesn't think about it anymore, our studio is ......"
"Let it go!"
Gu Nanfeng raised his voice suddenly, and the people around him looked sideways, and the woman in a simple white shirt sitting not far from their right hand glanced back, her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and an interesting smile appeared on her lips.
"Xubai, what are you looking at?" Li Chen also craned his neck and asked.
Xiao Xubai turned sideways, picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, "It's nothing"
"Then let's watch a movie together," Li Chen's expression carried a hint of expectation.
She nodded nonchalantly, but Li Chen was a little flattered.
The man's face seemed to be a little unbearable, and his face sank, "Miss Gu, don't be ignorant......
Before he could finish speaking, a figure rushed over, walked up to him in a seven-centimeter high heel, and pulled Nanfeng's hand out of his hand.
"XXX studio, yes, I suspect that there are β‘β‘ women in your studio now, I believe that someone will investigate soon, Nanfeng, let's go"
Song Zhixia took her hand and dragged the person out of the coffee shop.
