In the café, there was silence, and almost everyone had a heavy expression.

Duan Zilian's narrative is not very long.

To put it simply, when I was ten years old, there was a traffic accident at home, and my father was hit and run and put in prison, and he has not come out until now.

As the party that was hit, Luo Xinyan and Luo Lingling's parents died, and even they themselves were hurt to varying degrees.

Later, Duan Zilian's mother, Zhong Yi, couldn't bear it and took them back from the orphanage to raise three children by herself.

After listening to Duan Zilian's narration, they knew about Duan Zilian's family situation, and also learned about the somewhat complicated relationship between Duan Zilian and Luo Xinyan, but they didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen to Duan Zilian's family before.

Therefore, they all couldn't help but begin to sympathize with Duan Zilian's family plight.

Maybe it's because the mood is too heavy, and for a while, no one knows what to say, which makes the atmosphere a little dignified.

"Ahem, alright, that's all I have to say." After finishing speaking, Duan Zilian coughed lightly, making everyone else come back to their senses.

"Duan Zilian, I'm sorry, I didn't know this was the case in your family......" The squad leader apologized to Duan Zilian with some guilt, it was just a joke, I wanted to know what the relationship between Duan Zilian and Luo Xinyan was, but I didn't expect it to remind Duan Zilian of the sad things before.

"It's okay, it's been so long, I don't care anymore." Duan Zilian waved his hand disapprovingly, indicating that he didn't mind.

Seeing that Duan Zilian didn't care, the squad leader, the labor committee and Cui Kairui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, perhaps because he felt that the atmosphere was too heavy, in order to enliven the atmosphere, Cui Kairui pretended to complain and said: "Pity, you are really, you don't tell me about the situation in your house, I would have ...... if I knew that your family was in that situation."

"What about you?" Duan Zilian looked at him.

"I'll treat you to a few more meals so you can save some money." Cui Kairui said a nonsensical word.

Duan Zilian rolled his eyes: "Forget it, I don't lack that money." I don't say anything about my family, but you didn't ask either, and besides, there's nothing to say about it. ”

"Pity, since that Luo Xinyan lives in your house, why did you all pretend not to know each other when you were at school before?" Xu Ying, who was at the next table, suddenly asked at this time.

After learning about Duan Zilian's family situation and the relationship between Duan Zilian and Luo Xinyan, Xu Ying was completely relieved.

Originally, when she saw Duan Zilian and Luo Xinyan coming to see the house together, she thought that they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but now, after Duan Zilian's explanation, she realized that she had misunderstood.

"That's because she said she didn't want anyone else to know about her family and her relationship with me, so I had to pretend I didn't know her at school." Duan Zi spread his hands.

"That's right." Xu Ying nodded.

Here, when Xu Ying and Duan Zilian were talking, Qin Qiaoyun on the side looked at the two of them, frowned, and had a thoughtful expression.

"Pity, come over here and discuss some matters about renting a house."

Then, seeing that Duan Zilian had finished talking about everything and the others had nothing to say, Qin Qiaoyun called Duan Zilian to the lounge to discuss the matter of renting a house and draw up a contract for renting a house.

Soon, Qin Qiaoyun drafted a contract.

"A thousand yuan a month, Aunt Qiao, this price is too low, right? Why don't you add more? Looking at the rent on the contract, Duan Zi looked at Qin Qiaoyun in surprise.

She said that she would give herself a cheap price, Duan Zilian originally thought that the rent should be around two or three thousand, but she didn't expect it to be only one thousand yuan.

Such a good house, a thousand yuan a month, is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

"It's okay, I'm not bad for your rent. What's more, you still have someone to support at home, so it's better for you to keep more money in hand. Qin Qiaoyun waved his hand, not caring about the rent.

Originally, in her plan, the rent was higher, but after learning about Duan Zilian's family situation, she lowered the rent to 1,000 yuan.

"Okay then." Seeing that Qin Qiaoyun really didn't care about the rent, Duan Zilian couldn't help it, so he accepted the other party's kindness.

Anyway, this time he really owed Qin Qiaoyun a big favor, and he decided to repay this favor in the future.

Without saying anything, Duan Zilian picked up the pen and signed his name on the contract.

Qin Qiaoyun put away the contract and said, "Okay, I'll deduct the monthly rent from your salary, okay?" ”

"Hmm." It's naturally okay to be a joke.

Although his salary is now changed to be settled by the hour, a hundred yuan an hour, when Duan Zilian is working, Qin Qiaoyun will take a notebook to record Duan Zilian's working hours, and then make a total settlement.

"There's no problem, so when are you going to move over?" Qin Qiaoyun then asked.

"I'll move here tomorrow."

"Alright, I'll clean up the house upstairs later. When you're moving in tomorrow, call me and let me know. By the way, do you need me to go to your place to help with your luggage? ”

"Thank you, Aunt Qiao, but don't worry, I'll take care of it myself."

"Well, if you have any difficulties, remember to ask me for help. Also, here's the spare key to the café and the key to the upstairs room, all handed over to you. ”

"Okay."

After finishing the conversation with Qin Qiaoyun, Duan Zilian came out of the lounge, ready to tutor Cui Kairui to study, although the time was more than half past two in the afternoon, but as much as he could.

However, when he walked out, he found that the squad leader and Cui Kairui were actually packing up their things.

"Uh...... What are you doing? Don't you want to study? Duan Zilian blinked curiously.

"If we don't study, we've been delayed for so long, and we don't have the heart to study." The squad leader waved his hand.

Duan Zilian took Luo Xinyan to see the house, and then told him about the things in his house, which took a total of almost half an hour, plus they all knew the things in Duan Zilian's house, so the classmates naturally didn't have the heart to continue studying.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the class leader, they simply stopped studying today, relaxed, and planned to go outside to walk around and have fun while there was still a little time.

"Okay then." Seeing that everyone doesn't want to study anymore, it doesn't matter if Duan Zilian is pitiful, he can go back early to pack his things at home and prepare for tomorrow's move.

So, he also began to pack his things.

"Mom, I'm going to hang out with Lan Lan for a while, and I'll be back before five o'clock." After packing up her things, Xu Ying put her backpack on her seat and went to talk to Qin Qiaoyun.

"Well, stay safe." Qin Qiaoyun nodded.

Subsequently, after saying goodbye to the others, Xu Ying went out to play with her good friend Zhou Lan.

Immediately afterward, everyone else packed up their things and left.

Wanyan declined Cui Kairui's invitation to play together, and Duan Zilian put on his backpack and prepared to ride his bicycle home.

However, at this moment, Qin Qiaoyun ran out of the café and stopped Duan Zilian.

"Pity, wait a minute."

"Huh? Aunt Qiao, what's wrong? Anything else? Duan Zi looked at Qin Qiaoyun who ran over suspiciously.

She handed a mobile phone to Duan Zilian: "This is Sakura Sakura's mobile phone, she put it on the table and forgot to bring it, can you help me take the phone to her?" ”

"Yes, you can." Duan Zilian nodded, put Xu Ying's mobile phone in his pocket, and at the same time, looked in the direction where Xu Ying and Zhou Lan left.

In just a few moments, they were gone, but they hadn't gone far, and if they were on a bicycle, they would definitely be able to catch up.

Saying goodbye to Qin Qiaoyun, Duan Zilian got on his bicycle and followed the direction where Xu Ying and Zhou Lan left, to find them.

……

At the same time, Xu Ying and Zhou Lan walked side by side on the street.

Zhou Lan said to Xu Ying seriously as she walked: "Xu Ying, let me ask you a question, you must answer me honestly." ”

"What's the problem? can make you so serious. Xu Ying looked at her best friend curiously.

"Are you still interested in the joke?" Zhou Lan went straight to the point.

"Huh?" I didn't expect Zhou Lan to ask this question, and she asked it so directly, Xu Ying didn't react at once, and was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Lan continued to say to herself: "Don't try to hide it from me, I saw it all, when Duan Zilian took that Luo Xinyan to see the house, your panicked and panicked expression. ”

"Uh...... Be. Since she was discovered by Zhou Lan, Xu Ying had no choice but to admit it.

Seeing Xu Ying admit it, Zhou Lan was even more puzzled: "Why? I remember at a dinner party just after the holiday, didn't Duan Zilian say that he already had a girlfriend? He has a girlfriend, and you are still interested in him, are you going to snatch love from him? ”

At a dinner party just after the holiday, Duan Zilian said that he had a girlfriend, and Xu Ying's performance was very flat, so Zhou Lan thought that Xu Ying had pitied Duan Zi.

However, when she was in the café just now, she accidentally noticed Xu Ying's panicked and uneasy expression, and then she realized that she was wrong.

"No, he doesn't have a girlfriend, it's just that he made it up to lie to me in order to make me die, and then Cui Kairui helped me see through this lie." Xu Ying explained.

"That's right." Zhou Lan nodded, and then, she looked at Xu Ying with some hatred.

"Xu Ying, he made up such a lie in order to make you die, and you are still so desperate for him, are you stupid? I'll admit, he's really good and can't fault any big faults, but you're not like that, are you? I really don't know if he poured you some ** soup and made you so fascinated. ”
