Chapter 185: The Struggle at the Bottom
After the last puff of my cigarette, I dropped the cigarette butt into the noodle soup.
With the sound of cigarette butts being extinguished, I slowly stood up and thanked the ramen owner and prepared to leave.
Although the ramen owner made it clear that he was the guest of honor for the meal, I still took a bill out of my bosom and quietly placed it in the cash register while the boss was cleaning up the dishes.
In autumn, it gets dark very quickly.
The last rays of the setting sun soon faded over the city.
The haze hidden in the depths of darkness also slowly poured into the city.
As the light veil of clouds drifted away, it was as if the whole city had fallen into a dead silence.
At this moment, I was like a fly without any sense of direction, swaying on the road, walking straight ahead.
The unpleasant cold breeze gently blew through my cuffs and poured into my entire body.
I shuddered, and instinctively tugged at my coat and wrapped myself in some of it.
Before I knew it, I was surprised to find that I had come to a familiar lake again.
Looking at the rippling neon lights on the other side of the lake, I felt like I saw a treasure on earth.
After a brief moment of stunnedness, I rushed to the edge of the lake, leaned on the railing, and cast envious glances.
The noise was loud, the lights were flashing, and I could even hear the roar of the sports car engine.
This is life, and even the smell of money fills the air.
If I have money, how can I watch Yin Lanlan die and not save her? How could he be helpless after being calculated by Wang Cheng? How could you use violent means to snatch my share of my salary from Si Lingyan's hands?
Upset!
I frowned, and the dark cloud that had piled up between my brows lingered.
Looking at the world on the other side of the lake, I depressedly took out a cigarette from my arms and put it in my mouth.
Gurgle-
With a slight sound, a dancing fire struck through the night.
I poked my head out and took a deep breath.
Thick smoke poured out of my fingers, and I smoked heavily, listening to the crackling sound of tobacco burning.
"Don't you have the idea of calling me?"
A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears, breaking the silence.
As if frightened, my body shuddered, and when I came back to my senses, I noticed a figure walking towards me out of the corner of my eye.
As the figure approached, her appearance suddenly appeared in front of me.
I couldn't help but gasp when I saw her clearly.
I never thought that Si Lingyan would suddenly find me at this time.
The moment I made eye contact with her, my heart chuckled, as if an electric current had penetrated through my body, and I turned my head violently, like a child who had made a mistake, and I didn't dare to look at Si Lingyan at all.
"Yin Xing, don't you want to explain at all?" Si Lingyan asked again.
I smoked a cigarette in a dull manner, frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you here?" ”
"Yin Lanlan is suffering from depression, why don't you tell me? This is a very serious disease, if there is no correct guidance, she will not be able to get out of the shadow in her heart at all, and her life will become fragile from now on! ”
When it comes to Yin Lanlan, those unbearable past events hit my whole body again.
My breathing became a little rapid, and even the frequency of my cigarettes became more frequent.
Si Lingyan only knew that Yin Lanlan was suffering from depression, but she didn't know that she was framed for depression!
She didn't know the truth about it!
"Yin Xing, you should go to visit Yin Lanlan now, instead of standing here in a daze and escaping reality!"
Every word Si Lingyan said was like a sharp knife, stabbing me in the chest impartially.
I was a little bored, so I turned my head in disgust and said, "Does it work?" Could it be that if you visit her, her illness will be cured? ”
Being yelled at by me like this, Si Lingyan seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem.
She paused, walked up to me, leaned on the railing of the lake, looked at me and whispered, "Yin Xing, I can understand your suffering, and I can also understand your pain. But, Yin Lanlan, she needs you, the person she wants to see the most is you, you can go with me with her for a while now, okay? ”
"I don't want to go, it's only going to annoy me more."
"But you have to bear it."
I didn't look at her, just pretended that Si Lingyan didn't exist, tilted my head sideways and smoked, letting the cold evening breeze lap on my cheeks.
"I bought her medicine so that it would relieve her pain, although it was temporary, but I think it all meant it."
"What!"
My heart chuckled, and I turned my head violently, and the black eyes in my eye sockets were even tighter on Si Lingyan's body, and my eyes were full of incredulity, "What did you say?" Did you buy medicine? Are you crazy! How much! ”
"I sold the piano." Si Lingyan said calmly.
Rumble!
At this moment, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded in my mind, and countless currents slashed at my body, echoing in every cell in my body.
"You're insane! What are you doing selling the piano? ”
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford those pills! Even the doctor said that her depression is very special, without medication, Yin Lanlan can't hold it at all, she is only seven years old, she is still so young, she should not bear these pains. Si Lingyan said sadly.
"But you can't sell the piano, Xinye Music Club is your dream, and those children are also your hope."
Speaking of this, Si Lingyan's eyes dimmed, she leaned on the railing, looked at the lake calmly, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, dreams, how beautiful they sound." But what good is it? It's just an unattainable fantasy, a bubble, and an idea for the people at the bottom to struggle! From the moment of birth, the fate of all people has already been arranged, and what people should do can never be changed! ”
I never thought that Si Lingyan, who has always loved life, would be able to say these depressing words.
I stared at her blankly, not knowing what to say.
I lit another cigarette and let the smoke fill my lungs, as if the slight tingling could calm my heart for a while.
After a long time, I looked at Si Lingyan and said, "This is my own business, I can solve it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Si Lingyan turned his head and retorted, "I didn't admit that this was your business alone, anyway, I wouldn't die without help." ”
Si Lingyan's eyes were full of determination, like an invisible mountain, rushing towards me, almost suffocating me.
After a while, I gritted my teeth and turned to leave, and said indignantly: "Whatever you want, that's your business, if you want to take care of Yin Lanlan, take care of it!" I'm not going to see her now! ”
