Volume 2 Chapter 37: Senior
At the end of the work, Wang Tutu dragged his tired body out of the door of the office building.
The city of Beijing is so beautiful that you can't help but feel the eyes, and despite the stomach pain tormenting her body, Wang Tutu still opened her eyes and looked excitedly at this bustling city covered by neon lights.
It is estimated that because he didn't eat well, Wang Tutu's stomach hurt when he came. She crouched down to ease the pain, but it seemed that the part of her stomach didn't give her any good look.
Wang Tutu held her stomach as she walked towards the side of the road, and she wanted to reach out to hail a taxi. But her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't help it, and her body squatted down after a while. She looked up at the passers-by, trying to reach for help. She stretched for a long time, but still shrank back.
It's just a stomach ache, and after a while, it's fine.
After hurting for a while, it was really fine, and Wang Tutu got up. She straightened the corners of her clothes and walked to the side of the road. The vehicles were speeding forward on the road, and they didn't see Wang Tutu's right hand stretching out for a hailing car. Even if they saw it, they just glanced at it and left.
Wang Tutu looked at the clock, and the night air in Beijing was a little thin.
The stomach began to peel again after a while.
Wang Tutu pressed his stomach hard, and the whole person began to tremble in place. She crouched down and looked up at the traffic on the road. There were a lot of cars, but none of them stopped. Sweat was pouring out of her forehead, and the corners of her mouth were turning white. Unsteadily, she sat down on the ground.
sat on the ground, Wang Tutu felt so. She covered the sick spot and looked up for someone who could help her. She looked up and saw a man coming out of nowhere. The man looked lost and walked towards the main road.
Wang Tutu recognized him, the familiar but unfamiliar face.
The stomach hurt so badly that Wang Tutu's hand waved in the air for a long time, and the man didn't seem to see it. The man just looked at the traffic on the road with his backpack, and he stepped out of the road with one foot like a soulless shell.
"Seniorβ" Wang Tutu used all his strength and shouted out those two words.
Xiao Ran, whose soul and body were separated, stared at the road for a long time. His heart seemed hollow, and his eyes were full of fear. His foot cowered as he stepped down the road as traffic swept away his consciousness. His movements are not pulled by his brain, and he is not hindered by the external environment. He was like an empty shell, moving forward without purpose.
Xiao Ran thought, how good it is to die.
The voice in his head still echoed, like a declaration of death. Even though he knew that he wanted to live, it was more uncomfortable to live than to die. So his body walked uncontrollably towards the road, as if a thousand people were waiting for him to die.
β¦β¦
When he came out, Xiao Ran quarreled with his girlfriend.
Today is Ye Zitong's 23rd birthday, so he finished work early and went home to accompany her. But he had no money, and the money in his pocket could only buy boxes of cheap cakes. Xiao Ran went home and happily said happy birthday to his girlfriend.
Ye Zitong held a birthday party at home, and she invited many friends to be guests.
Xiao Ran came back with a box of cakes in his hand.
"Happy birthday," everyone is looking forward to what kind of surprise Xiao Ran will give to his girlfriend, and Ye Zitong is no exception.
Looking at the cake on the table that was several times larger than the one he bought, Xiao Ran's hands didn't dare to stretch out. He looked at his girlfriend for a long time, and only said the words "Happy Birthday" lightly.
The people next to him began to be embarrassed, and some people whispered.
Ye Zitong glanced at Xiao Ran, and the expression on that face was difficult to see.
The birthday party passed like this, and Ye Zitong still received many gifts from friends. Not to mention that each gift is worth a lot of money, it is also a bit weighty to open.
"I'm sorry, I'...... Didn't buy anything. Probably out of debt to his girlfriend, Xiao Ran's attitude towards speaking became cowardly.
Ye Zitong, who was happy with the gift, didn't care about Xiao Ran, but when he heard the man speak, his expression faded. She unwrapped a delicate-looking package, and inside was a noble-looking watch. Ye Zitong put it on his hand and excitedly stretched out in front of Xiao Ran. This seemingly ostentatious wrist embarrassed Xiao Ran, which seemed to be a kind of irony.
Xiao Ran has never been able to afford such an expensive gift.
He is a man who loves his girlfriend very much in the eyes of outsiders, but no one knows that he can't afford to give away the simplest things his girlfriend wants. He does several times the rough work of others on the construction site every day, but the salary he receives is not enough for his girlfriend to spend a few days. But he didn't feel distressed, but did his best to give his girlfriend the best.
Xiao Ran felt that the watch Ye Zitong was wearing was too expensive, so he stretched out his hand and took off the watch in her hand and said, "This thing is too expensive, you give it back to others." β
"Why do you want to give it back?" Ye Zitong was puzzled, and pressed the watch hard, "This is a birthday gift from someone else, and what was given to me is my gift." β
"It's too expensive, we can't afford it." Xiao Ran looked quite plain, but his heart was very tormented. He took a closer look at the brand of the watch and kept it firmly in mind.
Ye Zitong cried and cried loudly. She pressed the watch on her wrist tightly and looked at Xiao Ran with complaining eyes. She took off the strap and slammed it hard in front of Xiao Ran, "Today is my birthday, just once a year." Haven't I always wanted these extravagant things, so I can't just accept birthday gifts on my birthday? β
When the watch was smashed out, Xiao Ran's heart was extremely distressed. He turned, bent down and picked up the watch at his feet. He wiped the dust off his sleeve, but the surface was completely shattered by the time it touched the ground, because it was glass.
How much money does it cost to afford a watch, but it was smashed to the ground so willfully.
Xiao Ran's feelings seemed to be starting to get cheaper, and he looked at his girlfriend in front of him with an expression that he was about to cry. He licked his lips, and the hand rested on Ye Zitong's shoulder. He gave a slightly apologetic expression, then a nice smile on his face.
He handed her the broken watch and explained, "What do you want, can I buy it for you?" No matter how expensive it is, give me the time and I will be sure to give you what you want. β
"Xiao Ran, you can't give me what I want." Ye Zitong took the watch, and the makeup on his face had already been spent. She is like a porcelain doll, but she can't help but feel distressed when she bends the corners of her eyes. She cried: "After so many years, have you given me what I want?" β
Xiao Ran smiled helplessly, "Give me some time." β
Ye Zitong: "Time? I've given you five years. β
Xiao Ran: "I'm sorry. β
Ye Zitong: "Xiao Ran, in addition to saying sorry to me, what else will you do?" β
Xiao Ran: "I really ...... I like you so much. β
"Xiao Ran, apart from saying I'm sorry, saying that you like me, and saying that you can give me happiness in the future, what else will you say? Don't you think...... Do these things seem so humble in the face of money? Yes, I used to think that you would give me happiness in the future...... Can...... But then I found out that you've been drawing a big pie for yourself. Aren't you tired? Ye Zitong was tired of crying, and she slowly sat on the sofa. She picked up a box containing a necklace from the gift on the table. She gently opened the box and pulled out the delicate necklace. She put the necklace around her neck, and the expression on her face was humble.
She shouted: "Xiao Ran", and then tears began to flow down. She said, "I'm so tired! Shall we break up? β
The word breakup seemed to have given Xiao Ran a huge blow, and the man's expression began to panic. His eyes widened as he looked at the expressionless woman sitting on the couch, and he threw himself to his knees. This is like a habitual action, and he humbly climbed in front of Ye Zitong.
"Don't say the word breakup, okay?" Xiao Ran really cried now.
Ye Zitong: "As a man, can you not be so cowardly?" Can't you accept the breakup generously? β
Xiao Ran: "I'm sorry, Xiaotong, I'm sorry." β
Ye Zitong: "Xiao Ran! I'm proposing to break up with you, not asking for your consent! β
Xiao Ran: "Give me a chance, I will definitely do it, please!" β
Ye Zitong: "Xiao Ran...... There is no chance. β
"Xiaotong, what the hell, you won't break up with me." With his head buried in his knees, Xiao Ran sat on the ground and cried. His whole body was trembling, and his body involuntarily curled up together. He didn't dare to look at Ye Zitong's expression, let alone let that person see his expression. Now he doesn't seem to know what he should do except cry.
Looking at the man sitting on the ground, Ye Zitong laughed helplessly. The sense of disappointment she had never felt before suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart, and she sighed deeply. The neon lights outside the house seemed to be a little dazzling, and she closed her heavy eyelids. She repeated softly, "Let's break up!" β
"Xiaotong, please, don't break up. You know, I'd die without you. Xiao Ran raised his head and knelt in front of Ye Zitong. He reached out and grabbed Ye Zitong's trouser legs. He looked up, snot and tears mixed together.
Ye Zitong raised his eyes and looked at him coldly, and said, "Then you are going to die." β
