Chapter 34: An Alternative Life (1)
When consciousness came back to my head, it was as if I heard the sound of someone playing a game on their phone.
I opened my eyes slightly, the sky didn't seem to be very bright, I reached out to touch my phone, but when I stretched out my hand, what blocked me?
Well? What's going on? I opened my eyes in confusion.
The first thing that caught my eye was the blue mosquito net, and I looked up slightly to see a small blue dresser with various cosmetics on it.
Where is this? I suddenly felt that something was wrong, I turned over in surprise, and looked around, it was not a big room, there seemed to be a balcony on the outside of the room, the room was very clean, all kinds of items were neatly placed, in order, and there were a few girls' clothes hanging at the end of the bed.
I recalled what happened last night, and gave a note, and entrusted the waitress named Jia Ping to send me to the place where the note was written, and the note said that it was the Maple Leaf Hotel, but what kind of hotel was there in front of me, it was a bit like the snail house I lived in before, but it was slightly bigger than that! How so?
"Who's playing the mobile game?" I shouted out in confusion.
"Are you awake?" A woman came down from the balcony with my mobile phone in her hand.
Because it was with the light on her back, I didn't see who the woman was, and her voice seemed familiar.
"What? Forgot who I am? The woman asked with a smile.
When she came down and wasn't backlit, I could see her face clearly.
"Jia Ping?" I wondered, "Why are you here?" Where did you send me? How do you hold my phone? β
I sent out a barrage of questions.
Jia Ping said with a smile: "You asked me so many questions, how should I answer you, let's start with this mobile phone, I was bored, so I took your mobile phone and played games to pass the timeββ"
"Not good! I've got to go to work! I suddenly remembered that I had to go to work, lifted the quilt, hurriedly got up, and suddenly found that I was only wearing a piece of underwear, and I quickly covered the thin quilt again.
"Where's my clothes?" I hurriedly asked, I thought to myself that my dress couldn't have been taken off by her last night, right?
"The clothes are all washed!" Jia Ping said indifferently.
"What? Washed? So how do I get to work? I was surprised.
"What kind of class do you still have? Do you know what time it is? β
"What time is it?" I looked at the balcony, and although I couldn't see what time it was, it shouldn't be more than half past seven in the morning.
"Look at your phone for yourself!" She stretched out her phone, and although it was through a layer of mosquito nets, she could still see it clearly.
"Half past four in the afternoon?" I rubbed my eyes, thinking to myself, could I have seen it wrong? I looked at it again, and it was still half past four in the afternoon, and I wouldn't have a problem with my eyes, how could it be half past four in the afternoon? Did I sleep for almost a day? No way?
I looked up at Jia Ping.
"You read that right! It's half past four in the afternoon, and you're almost asleep all day! β
I was dumbfounded!
"Don't worry, a woman who calls herself Hong Ye called you before, saying that yesterday was a special situation, and all of them have a day off today!"
"Oh, that's right!" As soon as I heard about the vacation, my heart relaxed a lot, "Did the person who called himself Hong Ye ask anything?" β
"Yes, she asked me, where are you? I said you were drunk and I was taking care of you, and she asked me who I was? β
"How did you answer?" I asked hurriedly, thinking, she's not going to leak the note, is she?
"I said that I was just a kind person passing by, and I helped you when I saw that you were drunk, and when you woke up, I would naturally go back!"
"And what did the other party say?" I asked.
"What did she say, you are really lucky, there are often girls to help you!" Jia Ping said with a smile.
"And then?"
"Then the other party hung up the phone!"
After listening to it, I was a little relieved, and finally I didn't tell me about the note!
"By the way, how did I sleep here? Why didn't you send me to the address on the note? I asked, looking at her.
"What else do you say? Last night you fell asleep after getting into the car, I was going to take out the piece of paper you gave me to see where the address was to be delivered, but I couldn't find it all over my body, no matter how I pushed you, you just couldn't wake up!
Later, there was no way, and the taxi would not just be with us, I had to take it upon myself to bring you to this place where I lived, although it was very simple, but it was much stronger than you sleeping on the street, fortunately the taxi driver's heart was better last night, you fell asleep, not to mention that I pulled, it was to drag you hard and couldn't drag it out, the taxi driver saw that I couldn't pull you down, and smelled your alcohol, I guess I couldn't wake up,
He simply got out of the car and pulled you out, and helped me carry you up in one go, think about if he didn't help us last night, and didn't care after pulling you out of the car, and I couldn't pull you, then I stayed by your side last night and spent the night on the street with you! β
"Did you pay him more?"
"Of course, people work so hard, I gave him double the pay!"
"Then he won't lose anything! Looks like I have to thank you all too much! β
"Besides, do you know that you tossed me enough last night!" She looked at me and said.
"Wouldn't it? Me, I'm asleep, I don't know anything? I asked, surprised, thinking, I wonder what she meant by toss?
She looked at me and said, "I thought you fell asleep last night, you would sleep until dawn, after I settled you, I was about to go to bed, who knew that you suddenly vomited together, and I found that you didn't wake up at all, you vomited in your dreams, and your clothes were all over the place!" β
"Huh? So disgusting? I said with some shame.
"Who's to say it isn't? I pinched my nose to clean it up for you, and just after cleaning it up, you vomited again, making me angry, and I can't wait to slap you! She continued.
I laughed at her words and said, "I'm really sorry for you, thank you for your hard work!" β
"It's not just that, I vomited twice, your clothes can't be cleaned at all, I'm afraid you still vomit, so I have to guard by the side, after a while, there is finally no movement, I will help you take off your clothes, throw them on the balcony, and wash them for you when you wake up in the morning!" She said with a smile.
After listening to her words, I suddenly felt a little moved in my heart, "Thank you!" Hey? By the way, aren't you going to work today? β
"The waiters of Yunhai Hotel do not go to work every day, but in shifts, yesterday I went to work, today is another group of people, tomorrow it will be my turn!"
"Oh, I see!" I nodded.
"The phone is for you!" Jia Ping slipped her phone out of the mosquito net and into it.
I took my phone.
"Thank you!"
"There's nothing to thank, you pay, I'll do things, it's right!"
I smiled, "Are my clothes dry?" It's not getting early, and I think I'm going back too! β
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the balcony and have a look!" Jia Ping turned around and walked to the balcony with a smile, and walked back after a while, holding my clothes in her hands.
"Actually, I like this feeling, someone to talk to, to protect someone, I really hope that you never wake up!"
"Oh? What are these words? β
"Don't think about it, I'm not cursing you! It's all from my heart! β
I took the clothes that I handed over from Jia Ping.
After I took it, Jia Ping turned around and turned her back to me.
I thought to myself, this little girl has some meaning.
I got up from my bed and started dressing.
"Jia Ping, have you eaten dinner?"
"How can anyone finish eating so early?"
"Maybe!" I responded.
"I'm not anyway!" Jia Ping said.
I laughed and said, "I'm feeling a little hungry, why don't I take you to dinner tonight?" β
"Really?" Jia Ping turned around and said.
"Will there be any fakes?" I asked rhetorically.
"Look at you, it doesn't look like a lie, okay, wait for me to change my clothes!" Jia Ping said happily.
After speaking, she crossed her hands and picked up the corners of her upper body clothes and pulled them up, and she took off the clothes on her upper body, revealing the underwear inside!
"You-" I was a little surprised by her movements.
She just smiled and said, "It's not that I'm not without clothes, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Moreover, a rich man like you would be shy for a girl to change clothes in front of you? β
Jia Ping's words piqued my interest, "Oh? How do you know I'm rich? β
Jia Ping said while changing clothes: "Do you think I don't know who the person who ate with you last night was?" β
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Although I don't know all of them, at least there is one that I am very familiar with!"
"It's that Juyou, right?"
"How do you know?"
"He is your immediate boss, the person in charge of Yunhai Hotel, don't you know him as a subordinate?"
"It makes sense, I really didn't expect you to dare to call our general manager by his name at a young age, you are amazing, and you can eat at the same table with him! You say, "If you can eat at the same table with him, aren't you still rich?" β
I smiled, "Maybe it's counted, but you have to know that Zhu You was not too big at the wine table last night, and there is another person who is Zhu You respectful!" β
"Who is it?"
"Guess?"
"It can't be the middle-aged man with a beautiful woman in his arms, right?"
"You guessed it, it's him, he's Zhu You's top boss!"
"Ahh I really didn't think there was anyone bigger than our general manager? β
While speaking, Jia Ping had already changed her clothes!
She turned around, and I took a closer look, and she was wearing a black dress with a larger neckline!
"Wait a minute! I change my sandals! After speaking, Jia Ping came to the side of the bed and leaned down to find the sandals placed under the bed, and after leaning over, the collar drooped down and the neckline was wide open, and I suddenly felt that my nose wanted to bleed again.
Thankfully, the search was short, and she found sandals to wear on her feet.
"Okay?" I asked.
"That's it!" She followed me out the door with a purple bag in her hand.
"Brother Xiaowen, are you going out to eat something casually?" Jia Ping said next to me.
Hearing her call me Brother Xiaowen, I suddenly had a wonderful feeling in my heart.
"It's not casual, you can eat what you like!" I spoke.
"In that case, can I make a small request?" Jia Ping said mysteriously.
"What little request? You say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree! I turned to look at her.
"With your words, I am relieved, you also know, like us as waiters, serving tea and delivering food, usually looking at those delicacies of the mountains and seas, only the life of seeing, no life of eating, the salary is not high, if there is no money, some of the places I want to go can't go, I think so, I wanted to go to this place a long time ago, but I don't have the money to go, can you take me to eat?"
I thought to myself, fortunately I brought the card, otherwise if this kind of scene was rejected by the other party, how could I get off the stage? What's more, the other party helped me.
"Yes, no problem, this requires that the small ones can't be smaller, where is that place, let's take a car together!" I responded.
"It's nice to be with you rich people, my dream is finally coming true!" Jia Ping said happily.
I smiled and thought she was talking like a child!
"It's good to hang out with you rich people! Brother Xiaowen, I was born as a waiter and can take care of people, or you will accept me and be your personal maid, okay? I'm the best at taking care of people, and I promise to serve you well! β
"That's what you're asking for?"
"No, no, I'm asking you, if you don't agree, forget it, maybe you can find someone better than me!"
How I feel awkward listening to her words!
I looked around, and found that this place was not prosperous, the floors were not as high as I had seen before, and the vehicles were relatively rare, and I found that this was another area of S City that I didn't know, and I thought to myself that this S City is really big!
"Which part of S City does this belong to?" I asked.
"To the west, this is already the edge of the West City!" Jia Ping responded.
"Wouldn't it be a long way for you to go to work?" I asked.
"Yes! Every time I get to work, I have to take the subway for about an hour! β
"How do you live so far away?" I asked, surprised.
"Rich people naturally don't know the hardships of the poor, the rent in the city is expensive, and they can't afford to rent, so they can only rent in this remote place, and the rent is much cheaper!"
I suddenly thought to myself, didn't I come to this city like them? It's just that my road is a little magical, the jump is too big, and the road they take is the road taken by every ordinary student, many times, fantasizing about facing life, facing the future, facing the house, facing the pressure of reality, just relying on their own meager income, to achieve everything, to wait until the year of the monkey?
Many students are burdened with such pressure, pain, struggle, struggle, struggle, suddenly one day unexpectedly found that the road of life is a turnaround, not as they originally thought, sometimes a help from others, may achieve your life, sometimes someone else's words, may solve the problem that we think is insurmountable, sometimes the sudden appearance of others, may make our thinking change qualitatively.
"I can help you rent a house in the city, I don't know if you'd like to?" I spoke.
"Isn't it my own money to rent a house? And there are so many people on the fringes who can't afford to rent a house in the city like me, can you help me alone, can you help so many people? Where, where there is a house, there should be people to live there! β
I don't know if her words were negative or positive, but I felt like she had a difficult problem for me!
Before we thought about it, we had flagged down a taxi!
After getting in the car, Jia Ping said the address, and then the car set off!
On the road, looking at the vehicles coming and going and the endless flow of people, I suddenly had a different feeling in my heart, a sense of growth, a sense of maturity!
