The chance encounter with Li Yan'an in the restaurant made Xia Qi gossip for a while, and Ren Binchen's eyes when he looked at her became intriguing, Ji Yunzi drank a spoonful of fish soup and glared back unceremoniously.

"Zizi, who is that handsome guy? Your new boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me about it? Xia Qi shook Ji Yunzi's arm and kept asking.

"Ordinary friends." Ji Yunzi was a little helpless, she didn't know how she was like a boyfriend if she didn't kiss or hug her.

"Yes, Zizi, the peach blossoms you met are really good." But he looked at Ren Binchen and said it.

Ren Binchen stared at Ji Yunzi for a while, "Ji Yunzi, do you like people?" ”

Ji Yunzi was almost stuck by a fish bone, took a sip of beer from a cup, and said in a bad tone, "Are you sick?" ”

"What are you blushing for? Look at your angry look. Ren Binchen deliberately teased him.

After the meal, Ren Binchen sent Ji Yunzi and the others back to the girls' dormitory, he chatted with Xia Qi but kept talking about Ji Yunzi, "Ji Yunzi, worry about people in society, some people look at Sven on the outside, but they hide it in their hearts, and now female college students are better deceived." ”

Ji Yunzi didn't know why a boy could be so verbose, more than his mother, these words were said by Ren Binchen several times tonight. Ji Yunzi felt that he was not very familiar with Ren Binchen, and he didn't know what illusion a dinner gave him, so he took it for granted to judge his friends.

"Can you shut up?"

Ji Yunzi couldn't bear it anymore, glared at Ren Binchen angrily, and walked away with a quick pace.

Ren Binchen was still a little unsure, so he said uncertainly to Xia Qi, "Uh...... She's angry? ”

"Is it because of me?"

Xia Qi looked at Ji Yunzi who was walking away and nodded his head slowly.

"It should be. It's okay, she dissipates her anger quickly, you don't have to send it, I'll go first and get together next time. ”

After finishing speaking, Ji Yunzi, who was chasing ahead, left Ren Binchen scratching his hair at a loss.

Ji Yunzi didn't care much about what Ren Binchen said about being careful of being deceived, she herself was never a flower protected in a greenhouse, and being able to come to this ideal university could make life passable, only she knew how difficult it was.

Ji Yunzi's anger was completely because of Ren Binchen's casual judgment of Li Yan'an, maybe she didn't even notice it, in her heart Li Yan'an may have occupied a place.

At night, Ji Yunzi was on the phone with Ji's mother on the balcony, she didn't turn on the lights, and the moon in the sky was shining brightly.

"Mom, how are you doing lately?"

"Okay, nothing too big. Labor Day is a few days away, are you coming back? ”

"If you want to go back, you will come back the day after tomorrow."

"Whatever you want to eat, mom will make it for you."

There was a busy voice from the phone, and there was intermittent noisy laughter in the bedroom behind her, Ji Yunzi squatted on the floor and suddenly her eyes were red, she didn't know which world was really her own.

"I want sweet and sour pork ribs."

"Daddy he'...... Did you call back? ”

There was a pause on both sides of the phone, and Ji Yunzi waited cautiously for the answer on the other end.

"Study hard, don't worry about these things."

Ji Yunzi hung up the phone, looked up at the half-stringed moon in the night sky, and felt a pain in her heart.

Early in the morning of Friday, Ji Yunzi rushed to the train station, Qingrong was not too far from City C, and he arrived home before dark.

For dinner, Ji's mother made a few dishes that Ji Yunzi liked to eat, and Ji Yunzi rarely ate two more bowls of rice. Ji's mother was happy because her daughter came back, and she pulled Ji Yunzi to chat until late.

The next day, Ji Yunzi slept until more than eleven before getting up, Ji's mother had already gone to work, had lunch by herself, and made an appointment with five or six high school classmates to go out to eat barbecue in the evening.

There was a classmate who went to school in a remote city and hadn't seen him for some time, so he greeted a few old friends who had returned to Qingrong for dinner. Several of the boys spoke loudly, and the entire store was muffled by them.

Xu Ye also came over halfway, and when he came, he took Liang Qi with him.

"Are you two okay again?" The boy sitting next to Ji Yunzi asked Xu Ye.

"I just met at an Internet café," Xu Ye turned his head to look at Liang Qi and smiled, "We are friends." ”

"yes, good friend." Liang Qi felt a little embarrassed when he saw Ji Yunzi, "Ji Yunzi, I was drunk last time, I'm sorry to make you laugh." ”

Ji Yunzi smiled and said that it didn't matter, and sighed in her heart that these two could still get tired of being together so naturally after they broke up.

This dinner party is also to reminisce about the old days and talk about the current situation, Xu Ye and several other boys are deliberately pouring alcohol into the classmate who came back from other places, and Ji Yunzi thinks it is fun and follows the coaxing. Liang Qi took Xu Ye's arm and talked in his ear from time to time, Xu Ye ate barbecue and laughed without saying a word.

It was almost ten o'clock when Ji Yunzi arrived home at night, and there was no one in the living room, so she quietly walked to the door of Ji's mother to see if Ji's mother had slept.

Ji Yunzi held the doorknob and was about to open the door, but heard Ji's mother talking on the phone.

"I haven't seen a penny of your money for so long, why don't you even make a phone call, you have long forgotten that you still have a family."

Ji Mu's voice was not loud when she spoke urgently, but Ji Yunzi outside the door still heard every word clearly, and she knew who the call was for.

"I haven't been paid, and I haven't seen your salary much, alas, we can't let our daughter have a hard time anyway. You have time to give her a call, I'll see her ......"

Ji Yunzi didn't listen any more, turned around and went back to his room, and the joy of having dinner with old friends quickly dissipated. It suddenly rained outside, and the sound of dripping rain sounded outside the window, Ji Yunzi looked up at this small house, if it wasn't for his grandfather who left this old house, he didn't know where he would be drifting so far.

Ji's father works in other places most of the time, leaving the mother and daughter at home, and occasionally comes back to live for a while. Ji's mother has a low level of education, and she works as a general worker in a leather bag factory in the suburbs, working hard and not making any money, but she is unwilling to save Ji Yunzi's food and clothing, and tries to meet everything she needs.

Ji Yunzi realized that it was not easy for her mother, and she began to look for various part-time jobs in junior high school, whether it was distributing flyers or waitresses, as long as she had time, she would do it, of course, she couldn't subsidize it to the family, but she just wanted Ji's mother to rest assured that she could take care of herself.

Ji's mother was adamantly opposed to her part-time job at first, and the mother and daughter even quarreled many times because of this. Finally, after Ji Yunzi proved that she could grasp the balance with her academic results, Ji's mother relaxed some of her calculations and repeatedly told her to pay attention to safety.

Ji Yunzi leaned on the bed and sat on the floor for a while, reached out and took his bag, turned out the cigarette case inside, and handed the cigarette to his mouth before remembering that it was at home, so he had to put the cigarette back again.

The phone on the bed vibrated suddenly, and the ringtone broke the silence of the rainy night. Ji Yunzi took the phone a little tiredly, and the familiar name was displayed on the screen - Li Yan'an.
