Brewed myself a cup of coffee,

It seems that from that time,

Gradually, she began to experiment with bitterness,

I gradually got used to the bitter taste of coffee,

Now, every time she stays up late, she has to resort to coffee to refresh herself.

In the long years of the past,

She has experienced the ups and downs of life,

A person working hard in this city,

The collision of dreams and reality,

There will always be unexpected hardships.

Now I can understand that

Coffee is not bitter, but life.

——

After Meng Xin came out of the café that day, he kept thinking about what reason not to let Lu Yiming follow him, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't find an excuse.

A lie needs more lies to cover up, and she has hidden too much from him.

"It's already at the door, you go back, I'll go in by myself!"

Finally got to the mouth of the alley, and if she went in again, she had to go into a gang, after all, she still had to find a way to convince the landlord and aunt.

"Why is it so dark here, there are no street lights, I'll send you home!"

Lu Yiming looked at the alley, not only frowned, but he didn't expect that there would be such a dirty and messy place in the provincial capital.

"Hey!"

Meng Xin shouted, and the lonely lamp at the mouth of the alley finally gave her face and lit up.

"Look, there's a street lamp. I'm familiar with it here, so you don't have to send it. ”

At Meng Xin's insistence, Lu Yiming returned the box to her.

She pushed the box alone, and walked with some difficulty in the narrow passage that was not so flat.

Remembering that when I left in the morning, I also carried such a big box and was almost hit by a passing motorcycle, even if Meng Xin has such a temperament, he is still a little frightened, especially if he didn't go far, the street lights were dark again.

"Hey!"

The same sound came from behind, and then the lights turned on again, and when I turned around, I saw Lu Yiming standing under the dim street lamp looking at her.

"Walk slowly, I'm watching you here!"

Lu Yiming saw Meng Xin, who turned his head, and said loudly.

At this moment, Meng Xin suddenly felt that something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down, which was very uncomfortable.

She endured her temperament and walked slowly forward step by step, until she turned around and could no longer see the street lamp at the mouth of the alley.

"Auntie, you can do it, let me go and stay for another night!"

Downstairs in the rented house, Meng Xin said good things to the landlord again and again.

This swarthy and fat woman is usually the most nosy, and she often comments on Meng Xin's outfit, and educates her son as the standard of a bad child.

Of course, behind her back, Meng Xin complained in front of her partners that she was a big fat woman who was irritable.

But now she can only hope that this man will give her a place to stay, or she will have to sleep on the streets.

"Go, go, I'm not here for charity, I've rented the house to someone else, and I'll spend my own money to find a hotel on the street. It wasn't easy to see you children at the beginning, but I didn't expect that they were all conscienceless, and they didn't know what bad things they were doing when they went out early and returned late every day. You think I don't know what you're calling me behind your back. Get out of here, and don't let my children learn badly with you. ”

Meng Xin met such an unreasonable person in her first house, so much so that she later had a psychological shadow on the landlord.

"Auntie, how can you say that! If you don't let it, you won't let it, what bad things have we done for you to see? If there is, then you go to the police, and don't think so badly of everyone. ”

She's not a good-natured person, and she's been putting up with it just now. At this moment, she really couldn't hold it back, so she opened her mouth to theorize a few sentences.

I may not respect her enough, but a few of my partners work hard to make money, so they will naturally go out early and return late, but I didn't expect to be said to be doing bad things.

", I'm not charitable, go wherever you like!"

As soon as the landlord slammed the door, Meng Xin was isolated, and if he hadn't reacted in time, he would have almost been caught.

Meng Xin was silent for only a second, and he had already decided to give up, picking up the suitcase on the ground and preparing to think of other ways.

The landlord didn't work here, she could go to the street and find out if there were any 24-hour Internet cafes or something, and she knew that some Internet cafes only cost five dollars a night all night.

I just have 10 yuan left on me, and I can still have 5 yuan left to take the bus home tomorrow, and catch the earliest bus back tomorrow.

Thinking like this, Meng Xin picked up the box again and returned in the direction of the alley.

"Ahh

It was dark outside, and she was thinking about things again, so she didn't notice anyone in front of her, and ended up bumping into the man's arms.

"I'm sorry!"

Before you have time to look up and see what the man looks like, apologize first. After all, the people who often haunt the alleys are either drunkards or gamblers, and there is no one to mess with.

"Didn't hit anything!"

Lu Yiming was glad that he had followed, and only then did he see the scene just now.

He thought she would cry, but found that she was calmly pulling the box and leaving. She made him feel a little distressed.

"Lu Yiming?

Why are you here?

Are you stalking me? ”

The last thing Meng Xin wants is that he is the most embarrassed and bumped into by an acquaintance.

When she heard whose voice it was, she just wanted to run away, and she did.

The road in the alley was not smooth, and in the dark night, it was inevitable that she would stumble, but she didn't care about it, she just wanted to get out of the place.

For the first time,

She felt like she was living in such a mess!

She doesn't feel anything when her parents are fighting and arguing, because she is too young to understand anything!

When her parents left, she was still calm, because she had already been disappointed in them!

When she is said, scolded, and bullied, she doesn't care either. Because, she felt that she had done nothing wrong!

But at the moment!

She felt like she was embarrassed to the extreme.

In the first person who is not very familiar with it, but reaches out to himself again and again.

To a person who seems to be a little different in his heart.

She felt that she should not let him see such a side.

She regretted it,

I didn't get home on time today.

or

I should have decided to spend the night at an internet café in the first place.

Tears, drop by drop.

But they were all stubbornly wiped off by her hands.

She couldn't let her vulnerable side be seen again, so she had to turn her back to the sky.

That way, there won't be any tears!

"What are you running? I'm not following you, I just want to know if you're home safely! ”

Lu Yiming didn't expect the girl to run away as soon as she saw her, and she didn't even want the box that fell to the ground. He bent down and pulled the box to catch up, and finally stopped her at the mouth of the alley.

At this moment, his voice was reproachful.

"I'm sorry!"

Meng Xin could only apologize because he was inexplicable because he was angry.

"Come with me!"

Although Meng Xin covered it up well, Lu Yiming still knew that she was crying just now.

"I have a place to go!"

Meng Xin felt that she was a trouble in front of him, but now she didn't want to trouble him anymore.

"Come with me!"

He raised his voice, and at this moment, he could not refuse.

At this moment, he just wanted,

To the best of his ability,

Give her warmth!

So he took her hand again,

This time, it was extremely determined.
