Chapter 16: Successful Hunting

Her feelings were frustrated, and Letty didn't seem to be going well, the man she had taken a fancy to because of his voice hadn't been seen since the last time she said goodbye, and Letty even wandered the streets on vacation, trying to find the car so she could find him. As far as the relationship is concerned, Xia Zhuming feels that her mentality is better than Letty, no matter how unrequited she is, how obsessed she is with men and can't extricate herself, she will not be sick because she misses too much, maybe because she is easy to "see things differently" for beautiful things that do not belong to her, just like she chases stars, people are chasing to the end, she is good, today is Gu Tianle, tomorrow is Huang Jingyu, sometimes it is a mature uncle, sometimes it is a little fresh meat. She has thought about the handsome policeman who flashed by on the side of the road, and she also fantasized about a relationship with the suave doctor next to her, but unrequited love like this time is rare, but it has not caused any harm to her body, she should eat, drink, exercise, and her life has not changed much. Letty is different, she doesn't like someone easily, but once she likes it, she is stuck in the quagmire, and it's hard to pull her out if it's not that person. No, it's all lovesick.

"Hey, Letty, where are you, I'm in your hospital!" Xia Zhuming came to the department where Letty worked, but she didn't see her.

Hearing this, Letty suddenly remembered that she had asked Xia Zhuming to find the doctor to treat the acne. Letty sat up from the bed with a bone, but there was a feeling that the world was spinning, so she had to lie back and replied weakly, "I have taken a leave of absence, and I am resting at home!" ”

Through the phone, Xia Zhuming could also feel her discomfort, "Why are you sick like this?" Didn't you say you had a cold? Why, I still have to stay in bed! ”

"I don't know! I feel like I'm dying! Letty exclaimed in a thick nasal voice, her dizziness and discomfort that made her features wrinkle together.

"You wait for me, I'll come to you!"

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhuming hurried to Letty's house. The lover in the dream is gone, and such a friend who can talk to each other can't be estranged.

When I came to Letty's house, I knocked on the door for a long time before someone came to open it.

"Looking for Letty!" It was Letty's dad who opened the door. Unkempt and full of alcohol, if it weren't for hearing this hoarse voice, Xia Zhuming would probably not be able to remember this person.

"Oh yes, uncle, good morning!" Xia Zhu greeted timidly and closed the door gently, but he didn't dare to approach him.

Letty's dad didn't greet her, just pointed to Letty's room, "Still sleeping!" ”

"Oh, then I'll go find her!" Xia Zhuming replied in a whisper, and walked softly to Letty's room. To be honest, she wouldn't have been willing to come to Letty's house if she hadn't listened to her discomfort, especially if she knew that Letty's father was home. Speaking of Letty's father, it was Letty's pain. His father was the first college student in the village, after graduating from college, he went to work in the Land Bureau, because he was framed, not only lost his job, but also was sentenced. However, Letty didn't know what kind of work he did, only that he would get some money back in the first two years, but he hardly set foot in the house. When he returned home, he was sick with a bad disease, even the poison that Letty hated the most. After Letty was admitted to a key high school in the city, her younger brother dropped out of school to work in order to let her study with peace of mind. Originally, her mother was exhausted from providing her with a study alone, but unexpectedly, there was a father who was addicted to drugs, and the whole family was even worse. Every month, as soon as Letty's mother paid her salary, her father robbed all the money, and then threw a few hundred dollars to Letty, and used the rest to buy drugs and alcohol. If her mother didn't give it to him, he would beat him, and on several occasions he even couldn't get out of bed. Letty's mother is a traditional woman, always say that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, even once Letty called the police, the police came to the house, Letty's mother still desperately maintained, helpless, Letty can only run home less, even during winter and summer vacations, she does not go home. When she was about to graduate from college, his father said that he was going to go out and wander, and he didn't come back, Letty thought that she could finally live a life in peace, and also used the money she earned in college, as well as the money given by her brother (she has not spent it since she went to college, so that as soon as she graduated, she also had tens of thousands of yuan in her hands), borrowed a little from relatives everywhere, and provided a house for her brother in the city, and her brother was also sensible, and most of his salary was used for the house in addition to normal expenses, and what was not enough was subsidized by Letty. Life had gone on in an orderly manner, but two years ago, her father's return shattered the tranquility of life again, and since then, Letty's temperament has changed a lot. More and more like a boy. However, this is not to blame her, this family really needs her so much. In fact, she has three older sisters, the eldest sister and the second sister are all married when they are sixteen or seventeen years old, they are immature by nature, and they are noisy all day long, and Letty not only has to comfort them, but also help them reason. And the third sister, who just graduated from junior high school, went out to work, and in the first two years of work, she could still contact her by phone, but she slowly disappeared, and I don't know where she went. The mother is weak, the younger brother is uneducated, she doesn't manage the family, where is there a home?

"Letty! Open the door, it's me! Xia Zhuming shouted in a suppressed voice, afraid that Letty wouldn't hear it, and afraid that Letty's father in the living room would hear it. Knocking on the door is also a leisurely knock.

It took a long time for Letty to open the door. The door just opened a crack, Xia Zhuming squeezed in, and quickly closed the door as soon as he entered.

"Why are you flustered!" Letty asked weakly, her face flushed and her hair disheveled.

"Your dad is here!" Xia Zhuming said, her expression was too exaggerated, "Can I not panic?" ”

"Humph!" Letty sneered, "What is there to be afraid of, a dead one!" ”

Xia Zhuming couldn't guess for a moment whether her anger was because of her own behavior or because of her father, so she quickly diverted the topic, "Do you have a fever?" As he spoke, he reached out and touched her forehead.

"It should be a little!" Letty touched herself and lay back on the bed.

Seeing this, Xia Zhuming immediately lifted the quilt and pulled her up from the bed. "Your face is about to burn, still sleep, go, hurry up to the doctor!"

"I don't want to go~" Letty coquettishly, "When I go back to work tomorrow, I'll just find a colleague to prescribe some medicine!" ”

"No way!" Xia Zhuming insisted, "What should I do when my head burns out?" "She is such a close friend of hers, if she is stupid in the future, who will she talk to when she is unhappy?

Letty did feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't resist her, so she struggled to get out of bed and went to wash. Xia Zhuming took advantage of this gap to clean up her room with her hands and feet, and prepared the clothes she was going to wear today, like a little assistant.

After Letty washed up, she saw that the messy room was in order, and her mood suddenly brightened.

"How can you make such a mess of your room as a woman?" Xia Zhuming saw her come out, and muttered in her mouth.

"Isn't this sick?" Letty said with a smile.

"Excuses!" Xia Zhuming retorted mercilessly, "If you are lazy, you are lazy, and there are so many excuses!" ”

Letty didn't say anything more, smiled, and walked to the dresser.

After Letty sat down, Xia Zhuming took out a beautifully decorated box from her bag and handed it to Letty.

"Bought you a new lipstick!" Xia Zhuming said seriously.

"Did you buy it yourself?" Letty was suspicious, as far as she knew, there was no counter for this brand of cosmetics here, and she could buy them in the provincial capital, but she didn't know that Xia Zhuming had been to such a far place during this time.

"Hey, hey!" Xia Zhuming turned around and smiled innocently, "My cousin gave it, she traveled to the UK, I think the color is too arrogant, and it is slightly inconsistent with my loyal and honest image!" ”

"Hey! What do you mean? Letty pretended to be angry, "Isn't my image honest?" ”

"Honestly, honestly!" Xia Zhuming was seriously folding the clothes that Letty put on the chair and bed casually, and replied to her casually, "You are the most honest, honest you, hurry up, I'm hungry, I didn't eat breakfast!" ”

"Ten minutes!" Letty gestured and quickly picked it up.

After Xia Zhuming cleaned up the room, Letty also dressed up, and at Xia Zhuming's strong request, Letty put on the lipstick she gave. The color that originally looked "arrogant" in Xia Zhuming matched Letty just right. After dressing up like this, I couldn't even see her haggardness.

The two went out talking and laughing. As soon as I got out of the elevator door, I bumped into Letty's mother, who had just returned from grocery shopping. Letty's face changed suddenly, and she walked past her without saying hello. It is in stark contrast to Xia Zhuming's warm greeting. Although Letty's mother responded, her face was kept open, until she walked into the elevator and had to face outside, Xia Zhuming found that the injury on her face, the lower eyelid of her left eye, was not only swollen, but also purple, obviously, either hit or beaten.

Thinking of Letty's actions just now, Xia Zhuming suddenly figured it out. After saying "goodbye" to Letty's mother, she hurried after Letty.

Xia Zhuming didn't say a word about it, as if she hadn't found anything, and told Letty something about what she didn't have, and it didn't take long for Letty's mood to calm down a lot.

The two laughed and came to the hospital. There are many people in the hospital, and after reading it, it will be noon. Her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, so Xia Zhuming pulled Letty and walked out. Letty, who was still weak after seeing the disease, let her pull her forward, and without paying attention, she hit the rearview mirror of a car parked on the side of the road, causing Letty to scream in pain.

"Where, what, what?" Xia Zhuming leaned over and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?" ”

"Can it not hurt?" Letty endured the pain, got up and kicked the cart. Unexpectedly, the car screamed.

Xia Zhuming was a little panicked, but Letty was not afraid, but after kicking, the appearance of the car suddenly reminded her of her memory. I saw that she immediately ran to the front of the car, silently read the numbers on it a few times, and then shouted excitedly, "Xia Zhuming, come here!" Come here! ”
