Chapter 8: Effort and Reality

The autumn wind of the night swept my face again, and I was in this bleak night because of Su Man's company, and there was a subtle comfort, my mind began to run, the deceit in the workplace, the absurdity and bizarre in love, gradually I felt a little tired, I felt that life is a big escape, and we have always been running blindly, looking at Su Man who was clinging to me, I thought how good it would be for her to be with me at this time if the person who was with me like her was my girlfriend, but for me, But she's just a passerby......

When Su Man's pain was mild, I saw that her body was trembling, so I bought two hot sweet potatoes from an old man pushing a roasted sweet potato cart on the side of the road, handed her one to sit down and asked curiously, "Is it so cold in Beijing?" ”

Su Man took the sweet potato in my hand and held it in his hand, then snuggled his head tightly on my shoulder, and said: "Beijing is a weather all year round, who can know who when you go out!" After speaking, Su Man looked up at the sky again and sighed: "The sky in Shanghai is blue enough!" ”

I looked at her speechlessly: "It's night......"

Su Man gave me a blank look: "This is a longing for me to see the blue sky, how can you understand this petty bag!" ”

I handed the peeled sweet potatoes to Suman, and then took the sweet potatoes that were about to be kneaded into a pile of slurry in her hand, peeled them and said, "No matter how blue the sky is, I will feel lonely when I look at it alone, if this is the case, I would rather close my eyes!" ”

"Hehe, if you look at it alone, it's better than not seeing it!"

I glanced at Su Man, and then took a bite of the freshly peeled sweet potato, and Su Man was holding the sweet potato in his hand and facing the opposite crossroads with his face to look at a homeless man with a beard who was begging for a saxophone, and I laughed when I saw this: "Do you feel that this person is peculiarly manly, if you want to have any thoughts about him, I can ask you to talk to him!" ”

Suman glared at me and said, "Boring! After that, I got up and walked in the direction of the homeless man, and I hurriedly patted the dust left behind when I peeled the sweet potatoes on my body, and followed, "Are you planning to go out on your own?" But that's fine, in fact, I still quite admire this kind of people, at least they will survive by relying on their skills, and some people are obviously able-bodied, but they stretch out their dirty hands and serve us a bowl! ”

Su Man ignored my boredom, and finally walked to the side of the homeless man and stopped, and then I hurried to follow, only to see a simple piece of cardboard standing in front of the homeless man caught my eye, which read: "Some familiar melodies are gradually forgotten, if the sound of my piano moves you, it means that I have worked hard, if the sound of my piano makes you sneer, it just proves that hard work alone is not enough!" At the very bottom of the sign is a sketch of a depressed man standing at a forked intersection with "Endeavor" written on one road and "Reality" written on the other, and the depressed man bowing his head towards the road called "Reality".

I took a long breath, and then subconsciously took out a pack of cigarettes from my pocket and lit one, painting this painting may not require any special skills at all, but it can easily resonate with people and an inexplicable depression, which is incomparable to the works of those so-called celebrities, I think in this cruel society, how many people even if they work hard, but in the end they still lose to reality.

After the song, Su Man gritted his teeth and looked at the homeless man, and said with tears in his eyes: "I like the song you just played, so can you please play the song just now?" ”

The bearded homeless man took a sip of water from the water glass on the side, and then glanced at Su Man lightly, and pointed to an iron basin under the brand, so Su Man, who would know, quickly turned around and looked at me, I subconsciously wanted to reject Su Man, but finally lost to her eyes full of begging thoughts, in fact, I was not disgusted by the homeless man's way of begging, on the contrary, I appreciated it, so I took out my wallet and prepared to take ten yuan and throw it into the tramp's iron basin, but at this time, Suman took advantage of my unpreparedness to snatch my wallet and threw all the money in my wallet into the iron basin.

"Are you stupid!" I yelled at Su Man in shock, although I planned to give the homeless man some money, but it was definitely not the wallet that I owned, so I quickly bent down and took back the four or five hundred yuan denominations that Su Man threw into the iron basin, and then glared at the homeless man and said, "Can the blow a tune kill you?" I was sympathetic to you for giving you some money, but judging by how you've behaved just now, don't expect me to give you a penny! ”

The homeless man smiled incomprehensibly, lit a cigarette and shook his head, and began to pack up the humble begging tools he had brought, and it was then that I noticed that under the iron basin in front of him was a small piece of cardboard that read: "There is only one classic, and the song cannot be repeated!" ”

Then I realized that I had misinterpreted the meaning of the homeless man, and his smile at the end was more like a mockery of my ignorance and pettiness.

After the homeless man left with his belongings, I looked at Suman with some embarrassment, and Suman stared at me with a look of great disappointment for a long time, and finally turned away.

I sat alone in the position where the homeless man had sat before and smoked a few cigarettes in a row, and suddenly I felt a little inexplicable, maybe I really shouldn't judge the quality of human nature in this society from my own worldly eyes, because in this unknown space, there must be some unknown secrets, but now all I can feel is guilt.

…………

Towards eleven o'clock in the evening, I found a nearby bus stop to take the last bus to my place, and as I walked downstairs, I suddenly had a thrill, and then I realized that I had asked Mickey to dinner that night, but I had ignored it for a while because I was with Suman.

So I subconsciously took out my phone and looked at it, but the phone did not show any call records of missed calls, which couldn't help but make me feel puzzled and suspicious, it was probably Mickey waiting for my call, and I couldn't call, so I got angry, but Mickey is not the kind of woman who likes to make trouble outside, and she only made it clear in the house of the two of us when something happened.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked towards the house I lived in, and the lights in the living room were as bright as I imagined, I thought that at this time Mickey must be at home watching TV waiting for me, for a moment I couldn't help but be a little at a loss, but some things can not escape, I squatted downstairs with anxiety in the corridor and smoked a few cigarettes, and finally mustered up the courage to go upstairs.
