Chapter 38: Moving
The man is looking forward to the Spring Festival ending soon, so that he can find a job. But the time has just reached the third year of junior high school. The man took out his wallet, took out all the money and counted it, and there were thirty-one dollars left. He walked to the window and looked at the courtyard of the complex, which was deserted. The vegetable market not far away has a locked door and is still closed. The man was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, so he took three yuan out, put on his clothes, and went downstairs to the only noodle shop that was still open to buy five steamed buns, and walked home eating as he went. As soon as he entered the house, he suddenly felt that the mobile phone vibrate, he bit the steamed bun in his mouth, picked up the mobile phone and looked: five missed calls, and then click on it to see, they were all from Liu Li. In order to save money on phone bills, the man did not go back, but sent a text message: What's wrong? I just went downstairs to buy something to eat. After a while, Liu Li's phone call came again.
"Why don't you answer the phone?" Liu Li asked with a sloppy face.
"Didn't I text you, I'll go downstairs and buy food." The man heard the sound of Liu Li opening the door on the other side of the phone, panting, and asked her, "What are you doing?" Moving? ”
"What a move, I went back to Beijing, just entered the house. The luggage is too heavy, ouch. Liu Li seemed to have hit the door, screaming in pain.
"Why did you come back so early? It's only the third year of junior high school today, huh? The man asked, puzzled.
Liu Li didn't speak, but tried hard to pull her luggage into the house, and the man heard a door bang. Liu Li threw the key on the table and said, "Ouch, I'm tired, come and eat with me, it's time for lunch." ”
The man was half lying on the bed, and said weakly: "No need, you are quite tired when you just came back, let's rest after eating, and I will look for you tomorrow." After saying this, the man subconsciously calculated the money in his mind: it would cost two dollars less to take the bus.
Liu Li didn't seem to have heard what the man said, and then said, "Forget it, you're really lazy, I'll go find you right away." The man just wanted to say that he was not in a hurry, and that he would see him again tomorrow, but the phone had already hung up. The man looked at his phone, put it aside, and ate the remaining half of the steamed bun in one bite, choking and blushing.
At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Li came, and the man ran to the door to see that Liu Li had brought a lot of delicious things in a big bag. When the man saw it, his eyes lit up. He roughly calculated, this is enough for him to eat for a month, how much money he has to save.
The man let Liu Li into the house. Liu Li sat on the man's bed, gasping and looking at the man's dwelling. For so long, Liu Li has never been to a man's house, whether it was when she was in Northern City or after coming to Beijing. She looked here and there curiously, flipping east and west, making the men embarrassed.
"Liu Li, do you drink water?" The man wanted to divert Liu Li's attention. But Liu Li is still like a curious kitten, exploring around.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Li pointed to a simple small table.
The man took it and said while operating: "This is a simple table, open the legs on both sides and put it on the bed, reading things, or eating, it is very convenient." ”
Liu Li nodded curiously, and then opened the drawer again, and it was a mess. She flipped through it, took out something and asked, "What is this?" ”
The man saw that it was a photo album left by Jiajia, and he grabbed it and said, "Don't flip through it, it's such a big place, I haven't finished reading it yet." ”
Liu Li looked at the man and asked with concern, "Man, why have you lost weight again?" ”
The man patted the dust off his body and said, "I haven't had much appetite lately, so I can't eat." ”
At this time, Liu Li had already opened the wallet that the man had placed on the table and rummaged through the money inside. The man quickly stood up, snatched his wallet and said, "Can you stop for a while?" ”
Liu Li looked at the man and asked, "Are you out of money?" ”
The man put his wallet in a different position and didn't answer Liu Li.
"Aren't you starting a business? What's wrong? Don't make money? ”
The man sighed and said, "Don't mention it, it's more difficult anyway, the key is that I broke up with my partner, and after working for more than a year, I was given a total of 2,000 yuan, and my own savings have long been spent." "The man was a little shy, but he told the truth.
Liu Li walked up to the man, pointed to the wallet and asked, "Then you have so much money left?" ”
The man nodded. Liu Li tilted her head, "That's why you don't go home, right?" This sentence poked at the man's distress, he turned his face away, looked out the window, and did not answer.
Liu Li walked out of the man's room, looked at the living room, turned her head and asked, "Then how do you live?" Just rely on those twenty dollars? The man was still looking out the window and didn't answer, because he didn't know how to answer.
Liu Li quietly walked behind the man, hesitated, slowly put her hand through the man's armpits, hugged the man, she put her face on the man's back and said, "Live with me, I live in such a big house by myself, and I am scared every night." ”
The man clutched the heating pipe by the window, his heart racing.
has known Liu Li for so long, of course he knows that Liu Li has always had him in his heart, no matter whether the man loves her or not, he is still very grateful to have a friend who has you in his heart. In the past, there was Jiajia, and the man just regarded Liu Li as his best friend of the opposite sex. Now, when he felt that everyone was leaving him, the girl still loved him unconditionally, and he was indeed touched by this genuine emotion. Although the man is not an emotional person, he is not a hard-hearted person, Liu Li's persistence for so many years finally touched the heart of the man who urgently needs warmth.
It's just that the man is confused now, he can't tell his feelings for Liu Li, whether it is friendship or love, gratitude or heartbeat? Now, the man doesn't have the strength to tell the difference, because he needs someone so much to be by his side when he is at the lowest point in his life. He slowly turned around and stroked Liu Li's face, her big eyes flashing? The gaze is even more moving. The man hugged Liu Li tightly in his arms.
Liu Li put her head in the man's arms, and her heart was full of happiness. Liu Li thanked Cangtian for the relationship she had been persisting for so many years, and finally had a reward, she felt that her perseverance day and night was worth it. How many times, she hid in the quilt by herself, looked at the text messages that the man sent her over and over again, and impulsively wanted to call the man again and again to tell her heart, but she finally endured it. She knows that men and men have good families, and she can't disturb men's lives. Today, she finally got the man she wanted.
The man moved to Liu Li's house. Liu Li put all the happiness on her face. She is no longer lazy and lazy, but gets up early every morning to cook for the man, takes the initiative to clean up the house after eating, and then accompanies the man to submit his resume online at home, sees a good company, and helps the man check the information and investigate the background of the company.
Although the man lived in Liu Li's house, his self-esteem still made him unable to get used to this kind of "inverted door" life.
"Liu Li, I'll live here for the time being, and when I find a job, I still have to move out."
"Why?" Liu Li looked frightened, afraid that her boyfriend would fly.
The man looked at Liu Li and said with a smile: "It's not for your good, a girl lives with someone early, and it's not nice to say it." ”
"Haha," Liu Li said with a smile, "What age is it, I love you, I am willing to live with you, who cares." Besides, didn't you live with Jiajia before? ”
The man's heart was sour, and he was stunned for a moment. Liu Li, who was nervous, didn't even notice the inappropriateness of this sentence, and walked leisurely around the room with square steps. The man bit his lip and said, "That's it, after I get a job, my living expenses will be mine." ”
Liu Li jumped over, leaned on the man's shoulder and said, "That's why you raise me?" ”
The man raised his head, let out a sigh and said softly, "Well, I'll raise you." ”
Liu Li happily waved her hands and circled around the living room, shouting excitedly: "It's so good, someone is raising me!" ”
