，！

When her female companion saw that I was standing there motionless, she asked, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

Xiao He thought I was a nymphomaniac there, so he pushed me, I reacted, and immediately before the settlement was settled, and finally said to them: "A total of one hundred and fifty and five cents." ”

He put two hundred on the cash register, I took out the money from the drawer, and the female companion next to him said directly: "Don't look for it, it should be a tip for you." ”

The man next to him didn't have an opinion either.

I pinched the rest of the money, and naturally I didn't say anything.

The two did not stay and left the supermarket together.

After the two left, Xiao He leaned over to me, stared at the reward money in my hand and said, "Rich people are generous, more than forty yuan, don't want it, Kaiyan, you are so lucky." ”

At this time, a beggar came in from outside and brought us a gap in the rice bowl for us to reward, and I threw the forty yuan directly in his bowl.

Xiao He didn't expect me to be like this, she immediately said: "This beggar comes every day, how can you?"

Because it is a tourist area, there will always be some beggars begging nearby, and there are often people in the store, and I have seen the beggar no less than four times, each time he was kicked out by the store manager, and today he is lucky.

I don't feel ashamed, those forty yuan, if it was before, I would definitely be angry, but now I accept it calmly.

I don't feel ashamed at all, since I met, I accept it frankly, anyway, they are already divorced, and goodbye is just a stranger.

The mood turned out to be better.

Xiao He looked at me, a little unsure of what I was thinking.

I smiled at her and said, "We're going to eat, and everyone else is going to eat too, it's not my money anyway." ”

Xiao He sighed and said: "I will take what people give, forty yuan, the money for a meal, we have to stand here for several hours." ”

I smiled and said, "Money is something outside the body, just be happy." ”

After a short conversation with Xiao He, I continued to work there.

The heart that has been hanging for the past few days is finally put down at this moment.

In the afternoon, the store manager paid us a salary, a total of 2,000 yuan, and gave me and Xiao He an additional bonus of 300.

Xiao He and I were very happy, Xiao He was thinking about using the money to buy clothes, and I didn't feel that I lacked anything now, so I went to the bank next door to save my salary while I was eating dinner and resting.

And today is not only the day of payroll, but also the day of the trust to arrive, I stood there looking at the bank account, since I received the first trust, I have not touched any of the money in it, I thought, this is the only thing my mother left me, spend it and it will be gone forever, if I keep it, it will be as if she will always be there, and now I have been trying to support myself with the money I earned, although not much, but at least there is a sense of satisfaction, compared to before, it seems that there is nothing bad.

I withdrew the bank card, and then inserted the card into the wallet, and was about to close the wallet and leave, when my eyes suddenly stopped on the black card at the innermost part of the wallet, I took out the black card, and then I remembered that this card was once taken by me from Chen Qingchuan, how much money was in it, I don't know, I haven't used it, and I haven't checked it.

I put it in my hand and looked at it for a long time, then stuffed the card back into its previous position, closed my wallet, and went back to the convenience store.

In the evening, because I was paid, thinking of my illness a few days ago, Xiao He and Aunt Jiang took care of me, so I wanted to invite them to have supper.

But who knows, one was busy going back, and the other was holding something, so they all refused my kindness, and as soon as they got off work, they quickly slipped away with their bags.

The rest of me stood in the shop, looking at the sound of them rushing away, muttering, "Why are you so busy?" ”

Because it was payday, the store closed early and was open until 10 o'clock, and now that 10 o'clock has arrived, they are all gone, so I naturally have to leave, I don't want to go back to the dormitory so early to rest, so after closing the store door, I plan to go to the food court at the back to eat casually.

When I got there, I didn't have any appetite at all, so I ordered a fried noodle casually and sat there waiting.

There are a lot of tourists here, and at night it is basically tourists who occupy the neighborhood, and I look at the long queue of people, just want to finish eating quickly and go home to sleep.

Fortunately, the fried noodles were quickly ready, and I didn't care about the chopsticks at all, and I didn't care if the chopsticks were clean or not, so I took a pair casually and ate there.

After seven minutes of fill, I gave the boss money and left the food festival.

I walked around the street because I didn't eat, and when I got to the dormitory, I saw a black car parked quietly downstairs in our dormitory.

At that moment, I subconsciously stopped and stood there watching.

Not long after, a man got out of the car, and he was standing next to the car looking at me.

I looked at him, and he didn't move, he stood in the night, as if he wanted to merge with the night, I didn't know whether to walk towards him or not, but after thinking about it, since I had met him, let's go over, and when I walked in front of him, I looked at him.

It was the driver who pulled the door open, he didn't say anything, and got back into the car.

I stood outside and didn't move.

The driver looked at me, and I moved twice before I bent in.

After the driver closed the door, Chen Qingchuan and I were left inside.

There was a small yellow light on the roof of the car, and the light in the car was neither bright nor dark, enough to see each other's faces, but neither of us looked at each other, and we all sat there very quietly.

I don't know how long this silence lasted, Chen Qingchuan suddenly reached out and pressed the window lift button at the door of the car, he raised the window, the temperature in the car instantly rose, and the atmosphere was closed.

He asked, "When did you come back?" ”

I knew that there would be a day when I didn't want to hide it, so I said, "In about half a year, I went back to China." ”

He sat there very leisurely, not as restrained as me, looking at me without the enthusiasm I used to be, but very calm and calm, his eyes seemed to be looking at Chen Lin, as if I was his sister who had not seen him for a long time, but had to be responsible for interrogation.

He asked, "Why not abroad." ”

I lowered my head and looked at my fingertips to answer.

There was silence in the car for a few seconds.

Again, he asked, "What about the money?" Where did all your money go. ”

I thought of something, so I immediately took the wallet out of my bag, then pulled out the black card and handed it to him.

He looked at me.

I said to him, "I don't need it for you, and it's a waste to put it on me." ”

Chen Qingchuan's eyes did not fluctuate, and he asked in a low voice, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

I said, "My money hasn't been moved, it's all in the account, I'm self-reliant now, and I haven't found a good job when I go back to China, so I can only settle here, and the convenience store won't be my stay for a long time." ”

I looked him in the eye and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for me, I'm happier now than before, this is what I chose, I don't regret it." ”

I grabbed his hand and shoved the bank card in the palm of his hand. He also said: "The reason why I came back from abroad is that I feel that you can take care of everything for me over there, and it is still the same as before, without worrying about food and clothing, but this is not what I want, so I came back, I don't want to be a waste who can only eat, drink and have fun as before, although I don't have any ability, and even the year I left, I don't know how to take care of myself, but I am learning, little by little, I think, it won't be long before I can live independently in this world." ”

Before thinking about it, I decided to say to him, "Thank you." ”

The car was extremely quiet, and Chen Qingchuan looked at me.

He was a little surprised by my words, but soon, he withdrew his gaze from my face, his eyes fell on the street lamp on the side of the road in front of the car and said: "No thanks, I am also letting myself go, don't forget, you still have Fu'an's shares on you, if you want to come back, I will give it to you at any time." ”

I said, "When I left, I didn't think about Fu'an, I know what kind of material I am, Fu'an won't have any good results in my hands, and it won't be what Dad wants to see." ”

I turned my head and looked up at him and said, "Dad's choice is right, what he wants is for Fu'an to go further, instead of taking Fu'an as private property, this is his last wish." ”

Chen Qingchuan lowered his eyes and didn't speak, his long eyelashes hung down on his eyelids, and a small shadow fell, probably because of the boredom in the car, he lowered the window again, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and said, "Don't mind." ”

I looked at him, and naturally replied, "I don't mind." ”

He lit the cigarette, but he was a very sensitive person, and he put his hand out of the car window, and he didn't look at me, let alone speak, his eyes fell on the window, and he smoked quietly.

Halfway inhaled, I don't know if it was the cold wind pouring in from outside, or what, I felt cold, shivered, very subtle movements, Chen Qingchuan noticed, he snuffed out the cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt outside, raised the car window, he looked at me and said: "Since you are happy living here, I will naturally not interfere much, and I will go back to City A the day after tomorrow." ”

I groaned.

At this time, his mobile phone rang, he took it out again, looked at it, and after one glance, he looked at me, didn't say anything, and just pushed the car door and got out of the car.

He stood on the side of the road not far from the car, quietly answering the phone, occasionally glancing down at the fallen leaves at his feet.

This distance is enough for me to hear what he is saying.

Although his expression was normal, his tone was very gentle, and the other party should be a woman, because he was reporting his whereabouts to her, and he was very careful that the other party said what time he would go back.

Maybe the other party asked him to bring something back, and he replied with a light smile: "Okay, I'll pass by and bring it back for you later." ”

His shadow was refracted on the side of the road, and he stood in the cold wind, smiling patiently and listening to the other party's words.

For some reason, my hands clenched little by little, and I remember that he used to talk to me patiently on the phone, and no matter how much I was rambling, he would laugh and listen.

I sat in the car and watched.

After about five minutes, he finally hung up, and as he turned to me, he put away the smile on his face and hitched his way over.

When he got into the car, I thought he could speak, but he didn't, and the gentle smile on his face was gone, and he was back to his previous taciturn, silent appearance.

I didn't speak, we sat there silent.

I thought I should leave, so I gathered my thoughts and said to him, "I have to, I have to go back, and I have to go to work tomorrow." ”

He didn't hold back, and snorted.

I looked at him, didn't say anything more, and pushed the door open with my backhand.

The driver came over, and I stood at the door for a while, looking at him in the car, and he didn't look at me again, but sat there on his phone and seemed to be answering someone's text messages.

I turned around and headed towards the dormitory, just as the driver closed the door.

When I got to the entrance of the building, the car also happened to drive away from the side of the road, and the place where I had parked before was empty.

I looked at it, smiled, and without thinking about it, continued to walk upstairs.

When I arrived at the room, I locked the door and sat on the wooden bed in a daze, not wanting to move, so I fell on the bed and closed my eyes.

And he slept until the next morning.

I looked at the ceiling above my head, and I got up from the bed full of energy, and kept telling myself in my heart that this path was chosen by myself, and I would not regret it if I didn't regret it.

If you want to work hard, you must work hard, so I quickly changed my clothes, went to the bathroom to wash up, and went out to work.

Since that night, I have never seen Chen Qingchuan here.

During that time, I didn't pay any more attention to him, and started looking for jobs one by one.

But every time, it's the same as before, later, I learned smarter, and I no longer write my resume honestly, and I revised it, and changed the point of no service to six years, I thought it would always be better, but when I went to apply, the other party saw my name, and frowned, and didn't ask much at all, so I said directly to me: "You don't meet our requirements, go to another house." ”

I thought it was the fault of seniority, but now it seems that it is not at all.

I looked at the interviewer, and I felt more and more strange, so I thought about it, and anyway, after taking this step, I simply wanted to ask for clarification, and I said, "Why not?" My seniority and educational background, which one does not match? ”

When the interviewer saw that I was rejected, he didn't leave, so he said impatiently, "Our quota is full, I'm sorry, you can go and see it elsewhere." ”

I said, "But I'm the tenth to come for an interview today, and there are forty more to come, are you full?" ”

The interviewer looked at me, probably thinking I was difficult.

He said, "Don't embarrass me, what kind of person are you, why do you come to a small temple like ours, isn't this tormenting us?" We're just eating a bite to eat now, and we hope you can understand us. ”

I looked at him and just wanted to ask more, but he shouted directly to the door, "Next." ”

At this time, the next interviewer came in, followed by two more security guards, who came up to me and said, "This young lady, please give up your position." ”

I didn't look at the security guards, I looked at the interviewers, and they recognized me and knew who I was.

I seem to sense something. I didn't stop here.

Soon I retreated from here, and when I left, I took out my mobile phone and wanted to call Chen Qingchuan, but as soon as I found his phone, I thought about it and decided not to be so impulsive, he shouldn't be so despicable, and it is impossible for domestic companies to block me, which is not good for him.

But what's going on here?

I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't think about it for the time being, and went back to the convenience store for the time being, but after arriving at the convenience store, Xiao He ran out and said to me: "Kaiyan, someone is looking for you." ”

I said, "Looking for me?" ”

She said, pointing to a red sports car on the side of the road outside.

A woman got out of the car, wearing seven-inch high heels, a bright red skirt, a luxurious shawl on her upper body, and a pair of sunglasses on her face.

At first I didn't see who it was, until she pushed the door open and walked in, walked up to me, and took off her sunglasses.

The person standing in front of me turned out to be Chen Lina.

She looked at me coldly.

I was stunned for a while, then pulled her and walked out, and when I was away from the store, I looked at her and asked, "Lina, why are you here?" ”

When she saw that I had called out her name with great accuracy, she asked, "Do you still know me?" Do you know that there is such a friend as me? She sneered and said: "Okay, Xu Kaiyan, say goodbye without saying goodbye, stay incognito, live here, very happy and happy, who am I, am I your enemy?" Even I have to cut off contact, since it is broken, why are you going back to China? How do you not die in your foreign country? ”

I knew that Chen Lina must be very resentful of me, the reason why I didn't contact her abroad at the beginning was because I was afraid that she would tell Chen Qingchuan my whereabouts, and after I escaped everything he prepared for me, I went back to China secretly, thinking of finding a time to contact her again, but later, I didn't really want her to know that I was back, so things kept dragging on like this.

I looked at her and said, "Lina, will you listen to me?" ”

I wanted to take her hand, but Chen Lina threw it away directly and said, "Don't touch me, Xu Kaiyan, you're going to break off with me, okay, do you want to break off your relationship?" I'm going to break up with you in person today. ”

She was carrying her bag and turned to leave, when I immediately chased after her and said, "Lina! Don't do that! I know it's me wrong, can you listen to me first? ”

Chen Lina stopped and turned back to me and said, "Xu Kaiyan, I don't want to hear it." "She's going to pull the door.

I slammed the door hard and stopped in front of her and said, "Are you really going to break up?" ”

I looked at her and asked.

She was wearing high heels, and I was a little shorter in front of her, but I looked at her with no weakness.

Sure enough, when I asked this, Chen Lina looked at me and hesitated.

I knew she wasn't here to break me off, so I pulled her and left, and she didn't struggle anymore, I let me pull her, and I led her to a café.

I sat down, I sat across from her and said, "Lina, I didn't mean to cut off contact with you, I wanted to contact you, but I didn't want them to know that I was back in China, so I didn't talk to you on the phone for the time being." ”

Chen Lina was still angry, she was very angry and asked, "Aren't you just not contacting me?" Are you afraid I'll tell someone? ”

I said, "No, but I know, you know I'm in the country, and I'm sure they're going to come to me, so they'll all know, it's not your problem." ”

I also knew that I really shouldn't have done this, so I didn't say hello to her, but took her hand and said, "Lina, I'm sorry, can you forgive me for this trip?" ”

I looked at her.

She was almost angry with me, but she was reluctant to be angry with me after all, she slammed her glasses on the table and said, "Why did you know I was coming to you?" Self-inflicted humiliation? ”

She looked at me again, I was still wearing convenience store overalls, maybe I didn't look like I used to be, and she said, "Why are you so miserable?" ”

She tugged at my clothes and said, "Still wearing such ugly clothes, Xu Kaiyan, what are you doing?" ”

I smiled at her disgusted face, and I knew she would, so I took the water on the table and said, "Don't you think I'm happier now?" Isn't it better to have a goal in life, to strive for, and to no longer have nothing to do every day? ”

Chen Lina asked incredulously, "Okay?" Are you calling this good? Look at you now, just like the sweeping aunt, you are now in my eyes, there is only one word, miserable, okay? ”

I don't mind her describing it like this, it's miserable, but there's no way around it, no company accepts me, no longer a convenience store, I have to be a waiter, it's better than a waiter, okay?

I smiled and said, "I'm happy, you don't care what I do." ”

She probably didn't know what was going on in my head, so she took out the cigarette case, lit a cigarette for herself, took a puff and asked, "It's been almost two years, you know?" What are you going to do now? Do you want to go back to City A with me? ”

She swept the cheap café and frowned and asked, "What the hell is this?" ”

She swept the flies in front of her eyes, and when she was done, she looked at me and waited for me to answer.

I said to her, "I'm not going back, I'm going to stay here." ”

At this time, the waiter finally brought up the list, and I lit it there, and then handed the list to Chen Lina.

Chen Lina said: "I don't drink the instant coffee here, you take it for me." ”

She was disgusted.

Soon, she returned the topic to the point: "You said you weren't going back? ”

I nodded happily and said, "yes, I'm going to stay here and work." ”

Chen Lina lowered her voice and said, "Hey, do you know that Chen Qingchuan has a girlfriend?" He was on a trip with someone the other day. ”

I looked indifferent and said, "I know, I've seen it, it's pretty good." ”

I thought of something and asked, "By the way, what about Lu Ming?" ”

How to deal with that lawsuit, I haven't paid attention to it since I left the country, and it shouldn't be possible that I'm still fighting.

Chen Lina said: "What else can the lawsuit do? Do you think the Lu family can really put him in prison? The lawsuit has been fought for almost a year, and Lu Ming has been almost ruined, and besides, do you know how he won? The Lu family was forced to blow up Lu Ming's incompetence, and he couldn't really sexually assault him at all, he may have drunk some wine that day, and he was a little unconscious, and he did have something, but he didn't achieve that goal, and the woman asked for money, and the Lu family paid a lot of mental damages, and this matter was settled. ”

Chen Lina leaned back in her chair and took a puff of cigarette, she spit out her eyes, squinted her eyes slightly and said, "You also know now that Lu Ming is completely ...... in City A I haven't seen him yet. She sighed and said: "The Lu family and Fu'an are completely stuck together now, and Lu Zhishi is now crazy and has done it with Chen Qingchuan." ”
