Chapter 12: The Grumpy Green Radish
It's another Saturday. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because of the college entrance examination, the third year of high school has changed the rule of going home once a half a month to once a month since returning from winter vacation, so as to create more time for students to review at school.
This Saturday and Sunday should be considered the last Sunday of the high school junior's high school career.
Xia Ming doesn't care, even if he doesn't stay in school, he has nowhere to go, he used to be able to run around for life, take advantage of the break time to go to a small restaurant to do odd jobs or something, but now the problem of tuition and life is no longer a problem, and he feels that how to improve his current score seems to be more important.
Anyway, now that Qingluo lives in the county seat, it is better to ask for advice about those special memory methods in the past two days, although he can use it simply now, but he is still far from being proficient.
There was a knock on the door, but no one answered.
Xia Ming was surprised, here Qingluo has no other friends besides herself, where will she go at this time?
"Little Bean, come here."
Just as Xia Ming was puzzled, he saw that Xiaodouzi was withdrawing from a room, carrying a large bag of garbage in his hand, and was about to go downstairs to throw it away.
"Brother Xia Ming, you're here." As soon as Xiaodouzi saw Xia Ming, he ran over happily, Xia Ming touched his messy hair, and asked with a smile, "Xiaodouzi, have you seen the sister in this room?" She doesn't seem to be there, do you know where she went? ”
Xiaodouzi tilted her head and thought for a while, and then said, "I saw this sister go out of the house yesterday afternoon, and then ...... I haven't seen her come back since, and I haven't seen her today. ”
"What?" Xia Ming was taken aback, could it be that Qingluo actually went out for a day and a night? She doesn't know her life here, where can she go?
Will there be danger?
This thought flashed through Xia Ming's mind, but then dispelled again.
With Qingluo's ability, he didn't believe that anyone in this small county town could do anything to her.
So where did she go?
Xiaodouzi watched Xia Ming stand there distracted, and didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him, but after a while, he seemed to think of something, gently pulled the corner of Xia Ming's clothes, and whispered: "Brother Xia Ming, I seem to know where that sister is." ”
Xia Ming was interrupted by Xiaodouzi's words, but when he heard Xiaodouzi say that he knew the news of Qingluo, he couldn't help but feel happy and asked, "Where is it?" ”
Xiaodouzi looked around, lowered her voice and said, "That big sister should have gone to an Internet café, I went to the wholesale street to buy something that day, and I saw the big sister coming out of an Internet café." ”
Internet cafe?
Now Xia Ming was puzzled again, what was Qingluo doing in an Internet café?
After getting the news, Xia Ming felt that he should go to the Internet café to have a look, anyway, the county seat is not big, and the main Internet cafes are also gathered nearby, and he can go back and forth in half an hour.
Xia Ming thought of it, and was about to tell Xiaodouzi that he was going to an Internet café, but Xiaodouzi grabbed Xia Ming's clothes, showed a mysterious expression and said, "Brother Xia Ming, there are some things I think I should tell you, it's about the big sister." ”
Xia Ming was stunned for a moment, and immediately suppressed the idea of going to find Qingluo. He planned to hear Xiaodouzi's information about Qingluo first.
All the rooms here have a spare one for Xiao Douzi, and when you open the door, you will see the large bed for resting, the quilt on it is neatly folded, and the sheets are very smooth.
Xia Ming was stunned at first, but then he walked in, but when he went in, he made Xia Ming's heart sink suddenly.
The original tables, chairs and benches in the house were polished at this time, the floor was mopped, and even the toothpaste, toothbrush and other items she purchased for Qingluo last time were neatly arranged, with the head facing inward and the tail facing outwards like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
No, this is no longer as simple as a simple obsessive-compulsive disorder, but a concrete manifestation that does not allow a trace of accidents, does not allow a trace of error.
Xia Ming felt that the reason why these were not normal was because of a conversation he had with Qingluo last time, when Qingluo made it clear that he did not have obsessive-compulsive disorder or habits such as cleanliness.
There is no need for Qingluo to lie about these things, then everything she sees now is very abnormal.
He couldn't expect Qingluo's room to be as dirty as the school dormitory he lived in now, but it couldn't be as clean as it was now, so clean that it was uncomfortable.
Little Beanzi seemed to be used to the neatness of the room, but she still tiptoed cautiously, for fear of soiling the floor.
"Xiaodouzi, tell me about the big sister for a while." Xia Ming said.
Although Xiaodouzi is not very old, his thinking and language expression are very clear, and under his narration, Xia Ming finally knows how Qingluo has been living in the past month.
Grumpy, yes, grumpy.
Xia Ming's first reaction was to be irritable.
Qingluo's mood was already very irritable.
He couldn't imagine Qingluo's irritable appearance, and he didn't dare.
Qingluo's impression of Xia Ming during this period of time is that she is confident and quiet all the time, and she will always be confident about Xia Ming's studies, as if as long as she reviews according to the methods she listed, being admitted to university is a good deal for Xia Ming.
But what would make Qingluo so irritable? What was she worried about? What's running out of time?
Xia Ming thought about it, looked at the furnishings in the room again, and suddenly an idea entered his head.
It was a long, long time ago, and Xia Ming finally knew why he felt uncomfortable after seeing the situation in the room for the first time.
That year, Xia Ming left the provincial capital as if he was fleeing, and when he thought of Jiang Lingyue's resolute words and eyes, his heart ached.
Returned to the imperial capital alone, returned to the semi-basement, and did not eat, drink or sleep for three days.
"Let's break up!" Jiang Lingyue's words echoed in his ears, and even thinking about it now made him feel suffocated.
At that time, Xia Ming was not a future investor, he was just a small employee of a small company. The emotional frustration hit him deeply, he didn't care about his work, and he didn't even go to the company again after he came back, and the company naturally gave him the punishment of dismissal.
Jiang Lingyue is gone, the job is gone, and Xia Ming doesn't know how he can survive.
But as the saying goes, people can't be suffocated to death. The reality is that even if you are hurt, life goes on. The reason why Xia Ming did not commit suicide as in the Korean drama is because the plot of the TV series really cannot be used as a reference for life, and the second is that Xia Ming feels that he and Jiang Lingyue should still have hope of remedy.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. Whether it's self-deception or hope, anyway, after half a month, he will regain his strength.
The first thing we need to do is look for a job.
The imperial capital is large, and there are many jobs, but at the same time, there are more job seekers. Countless people compete for a position, with his academic qualifications and ability, it is naturally impossible to compete with others, and even the fresh graduates he has been laughing at before have an advantage over him.
Xia Ming has been working hard, although he pretends to be calm on the surface, but when he is alone, his temper becomes extremely irritable, often thinking crankily at every turn, and the inexplicable anxiety is pressing tighter and tighter like four walls, pressing the space around him more and more cramped, and he wonders if he is really about to collapse.
In order to suppress this feeling, Xia Ming decided to find something to do for himself, and started from the things around him without a job, first washing the dirty clothes that he had been hoarding for an unknown amount of time, and then cleaning every day.
Lay out the sheets neatly without a trace of wrinkles. Fold the quilt and fold it into tofu cubes even if you haven't been a soldier. Mopping, mopping the floor......
It wasn't until one afternoon that he finally waited for an admission message, which made him slightly come out of that anxiety when he was on the verge of collapse. Later, in order to be recognized by the company's leaders and colleagues, he began to work hard, and gradually, the anxiety became less and less until it disappeared.
Xia Ming thought back to everything he had experienced, and combined with Xiaodouzi's narrative, Qingluo was so similar to himself at that time.
Xia Ming later learned through some psychological books that this situation is a typical anxiety phobia, not that it can be controlled by one's own psychological adjustment, the reason for this symptom is to put it bluntly, that is, you think too much, and you are too idle!
Of course, this situation is not a mental illness, or as long as it can be detached in time, it will not cause any damage to the individual's psychology, and the way to get out is very simple, find a goal for yourself, and then devote yourself to it.
"It seems that these days I only care about my own exams, and I really lose care of Qingluo." Xia Ming thought that Qingluo must have known her own problems at the beginning, so she was also trying to find a way to remedy it, from her going to the library to read books and tidying up the room, it could be seen that she was trying to fill her life, but such aimless filling didn't seem to have much effect.
Goal, yes, what she lacks is a goal.
And this goal can only be set by Xia Ming, the college entrance examination is too simple, and those are not challenging for Qingluo at all.
Xia Ming pondered for a moment, his mind flashed, and he subconsciously slapped the table, "By the way, there is something really suitable for Qingluo to do now." ”
Xiaodouzi was startled by Xia Ming standing aside, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he heard a soft sound of the door lock, and Qingluo had already pushed the door open and walked in.
Qingluo saw Xia Ming sitting on the chair, her expression became unnatural for a while, and her eyes dodged: "You, when did you come?" ”
Xia Ming saw that Qingluo was tired and tried to pretend to be very energetic in front of him, and it was not a taste in his heart, but now that he had found out the problem, it was useless to say that it was useless, so he went straight to the point and said: "I came here this time because I wanted to ask you for help." ”
Hearing Xia Ming say that he wanted to help, Qingluo's body tensed, "Please speak." ”
"You've been here for a month, don't I have 200,000 available cash in my account, and I keep it in the bank, I think it's better to take it out and make some investments, strive to make some money, and unfreeze some of the frozen funds in it, I think it's the most suitable for you, do you think it's okay?" Xia Ming asked.
Qingluo was stunned for a moment when she heard Xia Ming's words, her expression changed from disbelief to ecstasy, and it changed for five minutes.
"Ahem, you just say it's okay!" Xia Ming asked again.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Qingluo replied.
At this moment, she smiled like a flower.
