Chapter 222: Spinning Top
Missing the last bus is a mistake that people living in poverty should not make, especially someone like her who only has 52 yuan in cash and a bus card.
It is impossible to take a taxi, and the only solution is to rely on two legs.
She lives in the suburbs, even if it takes more than an hour by car, and I'm afraid it will be early in the morning when I walk there.
But fortunately, for her busy life, this may also be a kind of relaxation!
Late at night, she walked alone along the road, after the downtown area, the more people walked, the more people were about sparse, many places even did not have street lights, she had to speed up the pace, in recent years she has been a lot bolder, when she first came to M City, where she lived was robbed several times, but she did not have anything valuable, but there was no loss.
The phone vibrate, and two words were displayed on the blue phone display: Ling Shan
She picked up the phone, and before she could say anything, she heard an urgent voice on the other end of the phone: "Where are you?" "There is a certain anger and accusation, but there is also a certain concern and worry.
"I'll be there soon......" she interrupted before she could finish her sentence.
"You didn't catch the last train, don't lie to me, where are you?" The other party lowered his voice, as if trying his best to hide some kind of collapse feelings.
She knew he was angry, so she confessed honestly.
Twenty minutes later, a black sedan pulled up beside her.
"Get in the car!" He had a black face.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, neither of them spoke, and the silence was a little depressing.
That's fine. She really didn't have the energy to explain anything to anyone, she just felt that her head was dull and her thoughts were chaotic.
The car was driving very fast, as if it was some kind of venting.
He had too much helplessness about this girl, and although he wanted to endure it, he finally spoke.
"Don't you have my phone?" He asked, in a stiff tone.
"......" She knew he was angry and knew why he was angry, so she had nothing to say.
"Gu Yanran, are we still friends?" Bad feelings turn into speed. The navigation inside the car is repeated. You're speeding! You're speeding!
The car was surprisingly quiet, only the voice of the electronic female voice sounded, which was extremely harsh, but it made him even more irritable.
"Do you know how messy this area is?" He held the steering wheel tightly with both hands. Because the strength is too great, the green tendons on the hands are highlighted. The chest rises and falls. It's hard to hide your anger.
She still looked out the window, not responding, and not showing any expression.
On his bloodless face, a pair of dark eyes were like cosmic black holes. There is no end in sight, and there is no way to spy on any love.
"That's right! You are Gu Yanran, you don't need anyone! He smiled wryly, almost gritting his teeth.
Oh, yes! He also seems to have said the same thing, blaming her for being too strong, blaming her for not knowing how to rely on him.
She remembered that she ran 5,000 meters and broke her leg that year, he carried her back and said: "Don't be so stubborn in the future, cry when you hurt, you can give up if you can't hold on, why does a girl have to work so tired, so what do you have to do?" Anyway, I'll raise you in the future. ”
I'll raise you later...... What a wonderful word, but she didn't understand it at the time.
At that time, they were too immature, full of beautiful imagination for the future and life, and always felt that everything they gave would be rewarded, but they didn't know that there were also many involuntary and helpless people in this world.
Now I have experienced the loneliness and hardships of life, and I understand how beautiful those vows were at that time.
Nangong Xuanmu, a strange and familiar name, she even thought that she had forgotten him, and buried those past and past in the deepest part of her soul, and it had nothing to do with her.
However, can you really forget jì if you want to?
She can lie to herself countless times and try to hypnotize herself, while her physical pain is much more honest and direct.
She only felt that her heart was empty, her stomach cramped, her brows were furrowed, she reflexively covered her stomach, and her forehead was covered with thin sweat.
"What's wrong?" Noticing her discomfort, he slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road.
It must have been her stomach attack, and she couldn't help but blame herself, knowing that she was extremely sensitive, why did she stimulate her?
"Where's the stomach medicine?" He took her backpack and rummaged through it for a long time, only to find an empty box of medicine bottles.
Damn it!
He should have remembered to prepare her medicine.
He restarted the car and stopped near the drugstore, she took the medicine and drank the water unusually cooperatively, he adjusted the seat to a comfortable position, and draped his coat over her so that she could lie down and rest.
She seemed so tired that she closed her eyes, but she didn't know if she was really asleep or just closed her eyes to recuperate.
The place where she lives is very remote, the small alley turns and turns, and the car can't get in at all.
She thanked her and got out of the car.
Before leaving, Ling Shan stopped her.
"Yanran...... Next time you don't make it, be sure to call me. ”
"Hmm!" She smiled, her face unusually pale, and turned to disappear into the dim light.
In fact, he knew, although she nodded and agreed, but according to her character, how could she trouble him lightly?
They had known each other for five years, and for five whole years, he had no way to enter her heart, and she had always maintained a polite detachment from him, as if she were grateful, but also as if some kind of burden.
Where did she put him in her heart?
Friend? I'm afraid I can't even talk about friends!
For Yanran, he was distressed but helpless.
She is too strong, she refuses to rely on anyone lightly, and maintains a high degree of independence not because of how strong she is, but to avoid harm.
He didn't know how long it would take him to open the door to her heart, but he never gave up.
He crept behind her, accustomed to silently guarding her like this until he brought her to safety.
It's early in the morning when she returns home, her nest is a privately built three-story apartment, in fact, strictly speaking, it is an illegal building, but fortunately, it is clean and tidy, one bedroom and one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen, although the area is small, but there are five sheets. Because of the remote location, the rent is cheaper.
Most of the people who live here are migrant workers.
A girl lives in this kind of place, and the apartment is in a small alley, Ling Shan is very worried, almost every day will wait for her at the bus stop sign, quietly follow her until she is safely sent home, and then drive half an hour back to his residence.
In fact, Yan Ran knows, but she just understands that there are some things that can't be picked out, and saying it will only make both of them more embarrassed.
She was grateful to him. If it weren't for Ling Shan and Hao Mei all these years. She had no way of imagining what she would become.
took a hot shower, but she couldn't sleep peacefully, turned on the computer and continued to make and submit resumes. Prepare for your college dissertation. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that I fell asleep in a daze.
Six o'clock in the morning. Yanran got up to deliver milk and newspapers, then came back to tidy up her books and go to school.
Although they are already seniors. The school is also very tolerant of students who have internships, but there are still courses in the first semester of the senior year, and if you want to graduate smoothly, you can't lose a single credit.
What's more, she still wants to get a first-class scholarship, and she can't miss a class.
Hao Mei said that she is a small money fan, she is careful all day long, and no one is better at living than her.
She just laughed and didn't say anything, yes! When did Gu Yanran, who is clear, become so snobbish?
Therefore, a person's environment is really enough to make a person's personality change a lot.
As Hao Mei said, she is like a spinning top, twenty hours a day twenty hours a day is constantly running for a living, arranging her time in an orderly manner, hating to use every minute, never spending a penny, and never missing any opportunity to make money.
She comforted herself that such a life was fulfilling, at least she didn't have extra time to think about it, which was good!
For eight years in a row...... This kind of life seems endless, even if the spinning top is monotonously spinning in place for too long, it will feel boring and tired, let alone human.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of class at half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, she hurried out of the classroom and rushed to another place of work, in fact, most people's impression of Yanran was that this girl seemed to be very busy every day, constantly running.
Oh, yes! She has fallen so far behind her peers, she doesn't run, she doesn't chase, with her current situation, when will she be able to get out?
In the four years of college, she took two years off, although there were many classmates in the same class as her, most of them didn't know her, never participated in any activities organized by the school or class, and didn't live in the dormitory, so it was normal for everyone not to know her.
So much so that every year when scholarships are awarded, everyone is curious about the winners of the first-class scholarships on the list.
Gu Yanran? Who is Gu Yanran?
The phone vibrates, she stops, opens the flip phone and answers.
"Hello! Ms. Gu Yanran? ”
"Yes!"
"This is the headquarters of Lin's International Group in China, the personnel department, you went to our company last time for the initial test, and tomorrow at 9:00 for the retest......"
Interview pass?
This is really unexpected, it is obvious that no matter what aspect, she is not satisfied with the content in the recruitment brochure, education, experience, major...... There doesn't seem to be any satisfaction, is it because of Xiaomei's relationship?
Lin Group, Lin Shuhao's desk is placed with the resumes of the people to be interviewed tomorrow.
When he turned to the last page, his hand suddenly stopped, and his eyes were fixed on the person in the photo for a long time.
Gu Yanran?
Why did he think this person made him feel a sense of déjà vu?
It was a very strange intuition, distantly like a memory of a past life, but it touched the softest part of the heart.
He looked up at Linda, and it was obvious that this girl named Gu Yanran did not meet the hardware qualifications of a secretary's assistant.
Facing Lin Shuhao's questioning eyes, Linda couldn't help sweating in her palms, and just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by him.
"Go ahead and arrange it! I'm looking forward to this interview. ”
Expect?
Did she hear it wrong?
The president of the dignified Lin Group is looking forward to the interview of a small secretary assistant?
Is it irony? Or was the clue inside seen through by him at a glance?
For a moment, Linda thought a lot, but it had come to this, and she only hoped that there would be someone he was satisfied with among the five.
