Light rain, the sound of the wind, the night is pervasive.

The neon lights of the small town flickered. Occasionally, a few speeding taxis whizzed by. You can still see some pedestrians.

It's late at night, and many honest model couples have long been nested at home, either watching Korean TV dramas or hugging their lovers and talking sweetly.

A stunningly beautiful girl, standing under the banyan tree on the red light street, was watching the pedestrians coming and going. This girl's name is Angel. He is 21 years old and a student at a university in the city. Due to the imminent graduation, most of the students in the class went out to find an internship unit. Some of the best ones have even found work.

Xu Anqi, a rural girl with no family background, no money, and no connections to support, has always been able to play games online in the dormitory, or pass the boring time. On weekends, she would go to the beauty shop on this street and do some leather business.

In fact, Xu Anqi has always been a person who does not score **. When she was a child, she loved to run to the river in a neighboring village to bathe. Despite being a yellow flower girl, she is as lively as a boy. Growing up, she was still restless. People in the village say that what is the use of a female doll in the countryside to read. "Those who marry out, spill the water." Anyway, after all, I have to leave my mother's house, so it is better to find an in-law's family as soon as possible, cultivate the land, and have a baby. But Xu Anqi has never believed in fate. Under her mother's education, she always firmly believed that she would eventually get out of the village, climb over the mountains at the entrance of the village, and then realize her dreams.

is such a child who does not admit defeat, and after going to college, he is like a girl in the city, fantasizing about meeting his little prince, and then knowing and falling in love. However, the cruel reality shattered her dreams again and again......

Engaged in this profession, Xu Anqi was not forced by others, but forced by life. During the time when she lost love, she was like a headless fly, using all her strength, but she couldn't find her way out.

Yes, if it weren't for that. Even if her family is poor and she can't apply for student loans, Xu Anqi can earn a meager income by working as a tutor and part-time to support herself. However, it eventually happened.

In this business, Xu Anqi is because of a man. This man's name is Lin Feng. The man who kept saying he loved her eventually left her.

That night, Xu Anqi was in a very good mood. She put on a white dress that she rarely wears. A person smoking a cigarette and standing under a banyan tree on the street looks particularly enchanting.

However, in this era, a woman with open thighs has no business if she is not enchanting. If you don't have business, you have to drink the northwest wind. Professional habits and literacy tell her that any industry must have its own rules and regulations, and sex workers are no exception.

Xu Anqi's afterglow glanced at the men passing by. In her world, none of the men are good.

Behind her, there was an ornate store with a glass door hidden from it. Silk curtains, fluffy, drooping behind glass. The neon lights inside the house flickered and the colored lights were soft, like a layer of reddish mist. On the couch, there was a group of half-naked women like me. Hair. Skirt. Stockings. Heavy makeup. These became the obvious signs of red-light places.

Now, a man who can't recognize Miss is either a fool or a fool. Because, in order to familiarize customers with their specific characteristics, Mommy will always tell newbies some tips and methods before entering this industry.

First of all, the store in the red light district must be in a slightly hidden place, and then the lights at night must be dark red and a little blurry. The ladies must be dressed sexy. **Reveal as much as you can. If you can put out your thighs, try to put them out. When you see a customer coming, whether you are handsome or not, you have to call it a handsome guy. Those with glasses can jokingly shout "Brother Glasses". If you are older, you can also call them uncle.

When you negotiate business with customers, you need to divide them into different customers, which varies from person to person. Look at what they are wearing, lapels, belts, watches, you can judge the price they can offer. If you can earn an extra penny, you must not miss any opportunity. If you meet a guest who has just come out, you can also take the opportunity to extort a sum. Not only do they have to charge them service fees, but they can also add items indiscriminately to charge desk fees, consumption fees, and so on. Of course, such cases, after all, are rare.

Xu Anqi has been working for more than half a year. For most of the year, no one can count how many men have traded with him. However, in her spare time, Xu Anqi will always get together with everyone, brag and chat. A lot of the topics talked about are about men.

"Yesterday, the man I picked up was so fierce, and it was so long down there. Like a foreigner, I was called dad and mom. ”

"The guest I picked up was no longer good, and in less than two minutes the drums were beaten. Flameout. ”

"What are you guys, I met that one the day, and I called him comfortable, and he gave me a tip of 500 yuan."

……

These topics are a lot of fun to talk about.

There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets.

At around 12 o'clock in the evening, the people who came out were either bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, or they were caught traitors. In addition to these, the rest is a colored man who comes out to find fun.

Xu Anqi was a little tired, straightened her hair, and paid close attention to every man who passed by from a distance. And try to smile at them, revealing a few snow-white teeth.

Looking at her slender figure, beautiful face, and "professional first-class" lonely smile, Xu Anqi had a little confidence.

(b)

"Angel, come in and have a glass of water. It's so late, why hasn't it been a good sign! Sister Shu walked out of the house, lit a cigarette, handed one to Xu Anqi, and complained about tonight's business.

Sister Shu is the eldest in this hair salon, because she is the oldest, she is 34 years old this year. According to her, she has been in this industry for nearly 5 years and was a worker in a factory in H City. Since he was laid off, he had not been able to find a stable job, so he came to D City to work alone. However, without any technical or academic qualifications, she can only work as a waitress in a restaurant, receiving a meager salary that is almost a handout. Life is embarrassing, and there is no luxury.

However, things are always the way people don't expect. Later, Sister Shu's husband got into a relationship out of nowhere and became a contractor at a construction site. After making a lot of money, he began to become wealthy, his temper became bad, and he often spent time drinking outside. When Sister Shu saw her husband like this, although she was reluctant in her heart, she could only swallow the sour water in her stomach when she thought of him being tired and sweating outside.

However, one day her husband openly brought a beautiful 18-year-old girl to his home. On the same day, Sister Shu was returning from buying clothes for her husband from the city. The moment she opened the door, she was stunned. A young and beautiful girl, ** body, reclining on her bed. And her husband, on the other hand, put his arms around the girl, reveling in a sweet dream......

Sister Shu, who has always been silent and honest, was pricked in her nerves this time, and finally erupted like a volcano. She threw away her newly-bought clothes, picked up a broom from the drawing-room, and struck the girl hard. While beating, he scolded loudly: "You shameless prostitute, you girl who sells X, the old lady wants to kill you, kill you!" ”

The 18-year-old girl, when she saw Sister Shu angrily, was not shocked. Instead, Tian shamelessly grabbed Sister Shu's hair and scolded back: "Lao Tzu is going to seduce your man, what's the matter, you old wife, you old woman with no breasts!" ”

Sister Shu listened to the girl's scolding, and her heart turned upside down, and she was extremely angry. She threw away the broom in her hand, grabbed the girl's hair, pulled it to the ground with all her might, and bit the girl's ear with her mouth.

"Oh, you, you bite my ear." After the girl was bitten by Sister Shu's ear, she stomped her foot. She came in turn and gouged into Sister Shu's eyes with her nails.

The two fought in Sister Shu's bedroom, and both sides got each other's sore spots. Sister Shu's husband stood aside, intervening and watching the excitement. For their own sake, these two women fought for themselves and called their father and scolded their mother, but this man showed a strange sneer on his face......

There was a lot of uproar in the house. Pots and pans were broken, stools and chairs were broken, and the sound of tearing and arguing resounded throughout the room.

Yes, this is the first time since Sister Shu and her husband got married that they have had such a violent quarrel because of emotional problems, and this is also the first time in his life that he has fought with a third party in his bedroom.

For a woman, this is a shame that can never be erased.

……

I don't know how long it took, Sister Shu ran out of strength, and the girl was lying on the ground panting. Sister Shu's husband coldly watched the whole process of their tearing. After calming down, he took out a pack of cigarettes by himself, took one out of it, and began to sit on the sofa and smoke leisurely. Smoke rings swirled around his face, and the smoke reflected the numbly pale man's face.

Sister Shu, looking at the terrible man in front of her. For the first time, I felt that the men in the world were really unreliable and should really be shot. After more than ten years of relationship, it can't match a woman who only has the joy of fish and water.

……

After everything calmed down, it was time to talk about divorce. It was brought up by Sister Shu. When her husband heard this, he couldn't ask for it and signed it happily. After giving Sister Shu a sum of money, Xun quickly left her.

Her son, Sister Shu, fought for herself and left it for her own raising. Sister Shu made a card and deposited the money in it. She said that she could not use a penny of the money, and left all of it for her son to go to college in the future.

However, a divorced woman with a child. Life is so hard.

After that, Sister Shu found several jobs, but due to the pressure of life and the high housing prices, she couldn't afford her son and her own basic living expenses. Forced into desperation, she eventually embarked on the road of prostitution.

In fact, just when she chose this path, there was a small episode.

It was one night five years ago, and Sister Shu was working as a waitress in a restaurant. It's off work. After taking a shower, she was about to go to sleep in the room rented by the hotel for employees. At this time, Li Tianli, the owner of the hotel in his 50s, quietly followed her and covered her mouth with a handkerchief while she was not paying attention. After a while, Sister Shu lost consciousness.

When she woke up, Sister Shu found herself lying on the bed of Boss Li in the hotel, naked. Sister Shu knew that she was ** by Li Tianli. She was very angry, put on her clothes, and went to the police station to report the case.

However, what happened next was something she could never have imagined. In the end, it was the director of the police station of Li Tianli's relatives who came to the conclusion that Sister Shu and Li Tianli were both consensual and committed adultery. The reason they gave was that Sister Shu was not injured in any part of her body and slept in Li Tianli's bed, and Sister Shu herself was single and a mature woman, so it was inevitable that she would have that kind of idea, so suing her for rape seriously violated the basic facts.

After hearing this conclusion, Sister Shu was completely disappointed with the public security. She knew that the world believed in them like a goat believed in a wolf. The police are hooligans with licenses, and they are bandits who have been recruited. Later, Sister Shu left the hotel and went to a hair salon in City D to work as a sex worker.

Time is fast, 5 years have passed in a flash.

Now, it is becoming more and more difficult for Sister Shu to do this. Although she is good-looking, her charm is still there. However, her age is obviously older among the Xu Anqi sisters. In terms of appearance and figure, she also suffered. But in order to make money, Sister Shu is different from young women like Xu Anqi, she is willing to pay, and she is willing to spend time specializing in the various psychological and physical needs and characteristics of men. Some guests who are difficult to serve are generally Sister Shu. She will meet their full set of requests, "blowing, playing and singing" and other personalized services, so that every customer can walk out of the room satisfied.

There are also some old, ugly-looking men who come to the beauty salon to ask for a lady. Young and beautiful sisters are often reluctant to accept such guests. At this time, Sister Shu will come forward.

She is never picky about her customers. She said that as long as it was a man, she would serve it seriously. Because, money is too important to her, plus she has several years of "working experience".

Sister Shu's son is named Xiao Ming, who is in the third grade in a primary school in the city, and his grades are good, and he always takes the first place in his grade every semester. Sister Shu often sits in the hair salon when she is fine, praising her son to Xu Anqi and them.

But she never told her son what she was doing. Her son Xiao Ming has never been brought to the hair salon by her to play.

However, Angel Xu has been in contact with her son. At that time, Xu Anqi's classmate Sun Li introduced Xu Anqi to a tutoring job. The object of the tutor is Sister Shu's son. However, after Xu Anqi did this business, Sister Shu never invited Xu Anqi again. And Xu Anqi has no time to teach children.

Later, Xu Anqi rarely saw Sister Shu's son. It's just that occasionally when she buys groceries at the farmer's market, she sees her son. The skinny, somewhat shy boy. He always followed behind Sister Shu and seemed a little timid.

Sister Shu's business was not good that night, and after going to work at 5 p.m., a business was not done. Her face was ugly, and her mood became a little irritable and restless.

Some men of all shapes and shapes stretched their heads out of the elders and looked at them from a distance. It's like looking at a piece of fine body art.

They walked closer and closer, and their steps were deliberately put in a snail's rhythm, very slowly, very slowly.

It's as if we're just pieces of cheese, and these men all want to take them in their mouths, taste them slowly, and chew them slowly.

Yes, the people who work here never doubt their looks. You must know that in this industry, you rely on your body to make money. If you don't have a certain look for customers to admire, who will be willing to pay for it.

Xu Anqi is no exception, she is known as the Golden Phoenix in the mountain village. At school, she was also a famous flower in the department. The classmates who chased her had already lined up in a long line, but she didn't love them.

Xu Anqi knows that the current flowery man generally only comes into contact with the same young lady once, and most of the situations will not be repeated after that. They basically don't have repeat customers. Because, these clients are looking for freshness and excitement. Who would go to the same young lady over and over again? This is the ** place, and no one should have feelings.

Time flies. Some middle-aged men, who were held by their wives, passed by Xu Anqi. They pretended to be righteous and did not squint, as if the whole world had nothing to do with them. Even if aliens came to Earth, even if the earthquake happened in his hometown, they would not be indifferent.

Hypocritical men, in fact, deep down, have already quietly looked for the woman they are interested in. When the time comes, the wife is not at home, or they are on vacation, they will come to the beauty shop. At that time, he was like a loose horse, acting more frivolous than anyone else.

Xu Anqi stood under the camphor tree next to the street, the wind blowing a little cold. She clasped her hands around her shoulders and looked at the passing crowd in the distance.

"Sister, come, kiss one, play with my brother tonight!" A young man with silver earrings, dyed blond hair, and a peaked cap walked over. He whistled, winked, and shouted to Angel frivolously.

"Yes, handsome guy......" Xu Anqi was extremely reluctant, but extremely helpless, and gently spit out these words.

Because, Xu Anqi knows that she is doing this profession, even if she has a thousand reluctances in her heart, she must have a flattered smile on her face. Who calls herself a young lady, hypocritical, pretentious, pretending, must become a specialty.

The night is still dark, and the neon is still bright.

(c)

A taxi pulled up not far away with a man in the car. The appearance of being in his 20s. Wearing deep myopic glasses. The eyes are small and narrowed into a slit.

This man, Xu Anqi seems to have seen it somewhere, but she can't remember it.

followed him into the hotel, opened the room, turned on the TV, Xu Anqi was a little tired lying on the bed.

Actually, this man is Jia Xiaodao. After he and Xue Song broke up from the bar, he wanted to go back to school to sleep. But when I thought of the beautiful girl just now, my lower body swelled up. He really regretted why he didn't take the initiative to invite the girl to open the room at that time. However, I really regret thinking that I looked like a decent gentleman.

Jia Xiaodao came out of the bar and walked down the street, thinking to himself that he had come out anyway, why not have a more thorough and enjoyable time.

So, Jia Xiaodao took a taxi into the city's more famous red light district. In the red light street, there are all kinds of lively and graceful beauties. Dr. He in the dormitory often talks about the beautiful women here who are picturesque and commotionous.

"Brother, don't worry, people aren't ready yet!" In the hotel, Jia Xiaodao acted impatiently.

"Honey, what are you thinking? Come on......" Jia Xiaodao hugged Xu Anqi's body and asked eagerly.

Jia Xiaodao is like an animal in the desert that has been in the rain for a long time, burying his head in Xu Anqi's warm arms. Sucking hard, Yun sucked her white as jade.

The lights in the room were dim. The curtains were drawn tightly. On the bed is a dress that has been taken off, which looks a little messy.

……

"Brother, I want to take a shower, you wait a while." Somehow, Xu Anqi suddenly felt nauseous. He was naked, broke free of Jia Xiaodao's thick hand, and walked straight to the bathroom.

Looking at the mirror on the wall in the bathroom and seeing the bewitching pale face in the mirror, Xu Anqi couldn't help but shudder in her heart. She felt very confused, did life change my destiny, or did fate change my life?

……

"Little sweetheart, come out soon, my brother can't wait." In the room, Jia Xiaodao put the pillow on his back, turned on the TV remote control board, and watched TV programs casually. He was a little impatient and irritable. Yes, such a beauty, he still rarely encounters it. He has fair skin and a slender figure, and has a strong urge at first sight.

Xu Anqi wrapped around the bath towel and came to the bedside in a graceful manner. Gently used his slender fingers to slash over Jia Xiaodao's face.

In an instant, the world seemed to stop running. Everything was silent. Jia Xiaodao looked at Xu Anqi's carcass as white as snow, and his body was stiff like a sculpture. He felt that time seemed to stop turning......

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Come on! Xu Anqi lay down on the bed gently, covered a small half of her thighs with the quilt, and shook the daze Jia Xiaodao with her hand.

Jia Xiaodao came back to his senses and hugged Xu Anqi's body fiercely. Bringing her face close to her lips, her hands, kept wandering and groping around her body.

……

The clock on the wall pointed to 1 a.m.

Xu Anqi snuggled up to Jia Xiaodao's chest, feeling a little tired, and her mind was blank. She buried her head very low, panting slightly, and her whole body was soft.

"What's your name? It's really different to be with you. You're so ecstatic! Jia Xiaodao hugged Xu Anqi's chest and kissed her **.

"My name is Angel." At this time, Xu Anqi's face was almost in a straight line with Jia Xiaodao's chest, and her body was like a piece of warm cotton.

"Anqi, hehe, you still use your stage name!" Jia Xiaodao smiled slightly.

"Really, my name is Angel! That's what people have called me since I was a child! However, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not. The name is just a code name, so what does it matter? Xu Anqi was a little careless.

"Even if it's called Angel! Either way, you're a stunner! Jia Xiaodao hugged Xu Anqi in his heart. He thought to himself, saying how normal it is that prostitutes are reluctant to tell their clients their real names. So, he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep. Makes a slight snoring sound.

(5)

Xu Anqi lay quietly on the bed, her eyes closed. She remembered her own background. The past is unfolding with the clock on the wall.

Actually, Xu Anqi comes from a distant village. No one knows, the exact location of that village. It's like no one can find the black mole that grows on a cow. The village is so small that it can almost be ignored. It's so insignificant, like a tiny self.

In her mind, the memories of the village were a little blurry. Just remember that it was full of majestic mountains and lush forests. There are also clear streams, and mountains full of brightly colored rhododendrons.

It was a beautiful and pure place, but Xu Anqi was not happy to remember it. So much so, after many years, only some scattered fragments remained in her mind. What is clearly visible is just a cone-shaped picture.

Yes, in her heart, her own childhood, also had too many tears and wounds.

Xu Anqi's father is the eldest son of his grandmother, and he has been frail and sickly since he was a child. Sixteen years ago, I followed Uncle Guo, who was learning cement slurry, to go out to work in Xinjiang. As a result, the car broke down in the middle of the road, slammed into a Dongfeng car, and died on the spot.

Xu Anqi was five years old that year. It's all about what adults talk about when they talk about it. What happened to him. Angel Xu didn't know. For many years afterward, her mother was reluctant to mention it.

All Xu Anqi can remember is the picture of her mother and mother-in-law, lying on her father's bloody body, crying and crying. She saw her five-year-old self, standing under the eaves in fear, terrified.

Xu Anqi's grandmother has two sons, and the younger son has mental problems. According to my grandmother, it seems that my uncle had a high fever when he was a child, and he was not sent to the town's central health center for treatment in time, and his brain was burned out. The eldest son, Xu Anqi's father, was unlucky and passed away early.

Grandma's life is very hard, so she has a very short temper. She was mean to Xu Anqi's mother and didn't like Xu Anqi. When I'm fine, I often get angry with my mother. said that the mother was a nemesis, and killed her eldest son. However, Xu Anqi's mother chose forbearance.

Because of the death of their father, their family can no longer withstand the toss. So, Xu Anqi, under the careful cultivation of her mother. In the end, he jumped out of the farm, became the pride of the village, and was admitted to an undergraduate university. Her mother supported her happiness and dreams with a rough life and cruel years, and dyed her future with some color and hope.

(f)

Since then, the people of the village have been impressed with their mother and grandmother. On the day Xu Anqi received the admission letter, the village chief shouted to the uncles and aunts in the mountains with a loudspeaker: "Xujiawan is a college student, and a golden phoenix has flown out of the mountain, everyone will go to Xu Houde's house tonight to congratulate!" The village chief seemed very excited, brought the bacon and sausages from the family early, went to Xu Anqi's house, and helped his mother to cook food together and entertain the elders in the village.

After eating that day, grandma unexpectedly asked Xu Anqi if she was full, Xu Anqi felt a pain in her heart, but with tears in her eyes, she hurriedly said, "I'm full, I'm full." ”

Yes, in the eyes of the villagers, Xu Anqi is the carp that jumped over the dragon gate. This carp will soon be able to reach the river and brave the wind and waves. In their impression, as long as they are admitted to the university, they will definitely be able to become a big official.

They even naively thought that after graduation, Xu Anqi could return to the town to help support the villagers and elders. However, who really knows, the reality is unpredictable.

When Xu Anqi left the village with her luggage on her back, the uncles and aunts in the village, mother-in-law and aunts, all ran to the mountain at the entrance of the village to see her off. They shouted to Xu Anqi: "Ah Niu, you are going to grow out outside, you are a golden phoenix flying out of our village." Our whole village is looking forward to your return. Come back and do great things for our village. You're counting on you! Hearing this, Xu Anqi felt very proud and excited.

Xu Anqi's mother was also on that day, crying with joy. She thought of her deceased husband, and she felt the greatest comfort and glory. However, Angel Hsu is well aware that she still can't change her mother's life.

With tears in her eyes, Xu Anqi waved her hand to her mother. Since then, he has left the mountains and rivers of his homeland.

Then a person embarked on the road of studying in a big city. Finally, she began the journey of her life.

This city is City D, which is the place where Kong Ming showed his great ambition during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is also the place where Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun sold wine to make a living. It is a metropolis that modern people don't want to leave as soon as they come.

In the eyes of many young people, City D is their paradise, and City D carries their dreams.

Is that really the case in D-City? Actually, Xu Anqi herself doesn't know. Anyway, it was 10:20 that night. She got off the train, set foot on the land of City D, and began a new journey.

(g)

It was the first day of school, and the heat wave of midsummer had not yet subsided. Xu Anqi felt a little uncomfortable in her body.

There were a lot of people at the exit of the station, holding all kinds of signs in their hands, as if to greet someone. Looking around at these large number of signs, a light blue sign with large orange and yellow characters was written on Xu Anqi's university, and she was happy that she could get to school smoothly.

The one holding the sign was a boy, a tall man, who was in a hurry to report to the school, so Xu Anqi didn't look at his face carefully. After a moment's hesitation, she stepped forward, claiming that she was a freshman at the university, and asked if the boy was the senior brother in charge of the reception of the freshmen.

"Yes, beauty!" A magnetic baritone sounded in Xu Anqi's ears. Xu Anqi put down her luggage and looked up. He was so tall that she was covered in the shadows cast by the boys. The sun outlined his silhouette with radiance. Under the light and shadow, Xu Anqi vaguely saw his face, starry eyebrows and sword eyes, tall and tall. It was the first boy she had met in D-City.

"Well, come with me to the reception over there, and I'll help you with your luggage!"

"I can take it myself, thank you." For those handsome boys, Xu Anqi was a little repulsed. She was holding her suitcase in one hand and a bulging duffel bag in the other, and stubbornly walked in the direction pointed by the boy.

"Whoa...... Squeak...... "Luck is really unlucky, Xu Anqi's suitcase suddenly fell off for some reason." She had no choice but to lift the suitcase by hand.

"Don't be reckless, beauty, I'll help you!" After finishing speaking, the handsome boy immediately snatched the suitcase from Xu Anqi's hand and easily carried it on his shoulder.

"Let's go, why are you still stunned!" Xu Anqi, who was a little embarrassed, could only follow his footsteps and walk towards the reception.

There were four students at the reception, one of the girls guided the other two boys, helped Xu Anqi carry her luggage to the school bus, and then told her the procedures for today's registration.

After saying thank you, Xu Anqi quickly got into the car. Half an hour later, I arrived at the new campus of the university where I was studying. After completing the enrollment procedures, it was almost dark. The campus is lit up with orange street lamps and some colored lights to welcome new students.

The night was beautiful, but Xu Anqi was lonely and tired.

When I entered the dormitory, on the right hand side near the door, there was a new student and a parent. Seeing Xu Anqi coming in, the mother and daughter glanced at Xu Anqi and greeted coldly. Hehe, her clothes expose her poverty. Xu Anqi put down her luggage, sorted out the quilt she brought, and quickly left the bedroom.

In a brightly lit alley at the back door, the smell of various delicacies wafts through. When I was studying in the town before, Xu Anqi heard the teacher talk about this alley, which is the "Chunxi Road" and "Delicious Street" of this university, and all the delicacies are available.

Xu Anqi walked casually in front of the stores, carefully looking at the prices written next to them. A meal costs hundreds of dollars, and the lowest costs seven dollars. Seven yuan is enough for my mother to buy vegetables for many days. In the end she left with her head down, yes, she didn't have the money to go extravagant.

Xu Anqi went to the second floor of the canteen to buy a bowl of somen noodles, 2 yuan and 5 cents. I found a remote location and ate quietly. A 47-inch flat-screen LCD TV hangs on the wall of the cafeteria. Students can eat while watching interesting entertainment.

Eating noodles while watching TV. In a few moments, she was filling her belly.

After eating noodles, Xu Anqi went to the school supermarket to buy some towels and toiletries, and then returned to the dormitory with a plastic bucket.

That night, a total of four people came to the dormitory. They are from ****, from the north and south of the country. They are Wang Kexi from Shanxi, Tang Zijun from Xinjiang, Jumo from Hunan, and Xu Anqi from Sichuan.

Song Kexi's father is a coal mine owner in Shanxi, and her father said that as long as Song Kexi graduates, he will let her study in the United States, then invest in immigration, and finally do business in the United States. Although Tang Zijun is from the town, her father is a contractor and his family is very wealthy. Jumo's father is the director of the finance bureau of a county in Hunan, and his connections are needless to say. Their future is clear and bright.

However, coming from the countryside, Xu Anqi has nothing but a poor self-esteem. I don't know if reading can change all this.

She slipped her fingers deep into her palm, thinking to herself that one day she would erase all these pains and insults. After introducing myself to my roommates in the same dormitory, everyone went their separate ways.

Song Kexi took out his laptop and used a wireless network card to chat with her boyfriend in Shanxi. While watching the video, I was eating chocolate and laughing.

Tang Zijun from Xinjiang saw Song Kexi's appearance and said teasingly: "Kexi is really, if you can't see your husband for a few days, you will be lonely." ”

Song Kexi said that Tang Zijun couldn't eat grapes, and said that grapes were sour. So the two began to argue. Tang Zijun said, "When the old lady played with men, you didn't know where to make soy sauce." ”

After that, Song Kexi and Tang Zijun opened the topic, they talked about the temperature and length of men, and then talked about the depth and hardness of men. Not to be outdone, the two did not give in to each other.

Ju Mo put a mask on his face, and just finished a complete set of facial beauty by himself and came from the study room. Seeing that Tang Zijun and Song Kexi were arguing vigorously, I felt funny in my heart. So he opened his voice and shouted, "Grandma, what are you arguing about, what are you arguing about." I've been on a few men, so it's amazing. After saying that, Ju Mo also joined the debate.

These topics were all things that Xu Anqi had never heard of before, and she felt very unfamiliar, and her face was a little crimson.

After Xu Anqi finished washing, she then lay down on the bed, took out a magazine and began to look at it. She thought, we are not from the same world, so why should we be involved.

That night, the three of them seemed to ignore Xu Anqi's existence. Several people discussed it all night. And after Xu Anqi read a few chapters of the novel, she lay down and went to sleep.

(viii)

The next morning, several girls came to the dormitory, and they were all senior sisters.

They took leaflets and introduced them in Xu Anqi's bedroom, when Xu Anqi had just returned from breakfast in the cafeteria. Song Kexi hadn't gotten up yet, and was wearing a pajamas. Ju Mo is doing her beauty again. Tang Zijun opened the bedroom door.

"Senior sister, hello. The student reporters of our campus press corps are here to publicize the basic situation of our club to you, and I hope you can join our new collective. A senior sister who took the lead showed Xu Anqi the basic situation of her club, and also boasted that there was a campus writer named Jia Fei in the press corps. How his books are selling well now. In addition, it was also mentioned that many graduates of the press corps have worked in television stations and newspapers, and have become enviable reporters and editors-in-chief.

These temptations are undoubtedly not very lethal for freshmen like Xu Anqi. Even Song Kexi woke up from his sleep and asked a very idiotic question: "When you are a student reporter, do you get paid?" ”

"This student, we are a student club, directly under the school's propaganda department, a student group organization, and there is no salary at all. This organization is a place for students to learn and improve, where you can communicate and learn with other members, as for the salary. After graduation, it's not too late to find an employer and mention these things again. A senior sister replied to Song Kexi.

After Song Kexi heard this, he smiled embarrassedly. She told us that the profession of journalist is still very popular. Because she had a personal experience. Three years ago, her family's coal mine had an accident and two miners died. Originally, they all said hello to various departments, and they were no longer held accountable. However, I didn't know that this news was known by a reporter, and then I came to the coal mine and conducted an unannounced investigation. In the end, I found Song Kexi's father and interviewed the cause of the accident.

Song Kexi saw his father acting submissively in front of reporters that day, and he knew that the profession of a reporter still has a certain authority. "Fire, theft, and journalists, reporters are flies, pervasive." Song Kexi was about to sleep, and when he heard the introduction of the senior sisters, he suddenly came to his senses.

The reason why Xu Anqi wants to join the press corps is that she wants to learn more things, so that she can have a certain amount of knowledge and literacy in the future to prepare for a change of fate in the future. So, Xu Anqi took the registration form with everyone and filled in her name and contact information.

Before leaving, the senior sisters also introduced the time of the written test and the exam to Xu Anqi and them. Let them prepare in advance, and then the whole school will be selected.

For this election, Xu Anqi is still a little nervous. Because, this is the first club she came to the school to participate in. I hope to learn more in this club. On the third day, Xu Anqi came to class. I met new classmates and made new friends. He also ran for class officers. Xu Anqi ran for the propaganda committee of the class and was responsible for the publicity of the class's activities.

The next few days started to get busy. In addition to listening to the teacher during class. After class, she also went to the library to consult materials to consolidate her studies. Because, she knows that children from poor families must work harder than others. The stupid bird must fly first.

The other roommates in the dormitory have their own ways of entertaining. Tang Zijun soon talked about a boyfriend, the sanda champion of the physical education department. Every afternoon, they would run downstairs in their bedroom and shout loudly to Tang Zijun. Then they went to eat and play together.

Song Kexi is still in a close relationship with her distant lover, and every night in the bedroom, she will video with her boyfriend and talk sweetly.

Ju Mo's vision is very high, and she belongs to the very beautiful category in the class, and the boys who chase her have already lined up in a long line. Every day after school, she was alone in her dorm room, reading the love letters that other men had written to her.

Actually, she has a boyfriend, and the boyfriend is in Shaanxi. However, in order to relieve loneliness. Ju Mo often stays alone in the bedroom and reads. Sometimes, Xu Anqi is seen returning to the bedroom. Ju Mo would give the book to Xu Anqi and ask Xu Anqi: "Have you watched "Sheep Fat Ball"? ”

Actually, Jumo just wanted to show off in front of Xu Anqi.

And Xu Anqi arranges her days very tightly. Attend classes every day, go to the library to read a book, and then go to the English corner to contact the spoken language. Or prepare for some competitions at school. Although, there are also many boys who are close to her and want to chase her, but they are all bluntly refused. In their eyes, Xu Anqi is an ice beauty.

Xu Anqi knows that she is no longer compared with others, and only through hard work can she change her fate. As for love, maybe it's not the time to think about it yourself.

The selection of new students for the school's press corps soon began, for this opportunity. Xu Anqi has read a lot of materials, and also studied news writing and theoretical knowledge on the Internet, hoping that this will help her campaign.

On the evening of the election campaign, when Xu Anqi walked to classroom 214, it was already full of people. There are two or three hundred, to say the least.

Xu Anqi thought that few of these students had been so punctual before. This time, everyone came to the election with different purposes. Many men come to find girlfriends, and many women come to see handsome guys. Of course, everyone may have the same main goal, but the drunkard does not mean to drink.

Xu Anqi found a place in the last row and sat down, and there were heads and backs in front of her. The teacher of the school's propaganda department made a high-sounding speech on it, and perhaps it was repeated in previous election meetings. Then, I stood up and told my classmates that we should seize the opportunity and work hard to express ourselves, so that we have a better chance of being selected.

In fact, Xu Anqi was still very nervous down there at that time. Because, she wants to show her talent as soon as possible, so that her classmates will respect her and know her. I don't want the roommates in the dormitory to just see her as a countryman from the countryside who doesn't have much cultivation and knowledge. She wants to prove to them with her strength that in fact, rural girls can also have good performance and grades in college......

"No. 25, No. 25, Xu Anqi." Xu Anqi was in a daze, and her name was called above. With trepidation, she stepped up to the podium.

"Hello everyone, my name is Anqi Xu. I'm from the countryside, a girl in the mountains. Although he is poor, his ambition is not poor. Coming to today's election campaign, I think I have a few advantages. One is that I love to write, and I'm good at writing. When I was in high school, I published articles in newspapers and magazines, and because I was a student journalist, I believed that I had what it took to do so. Second, I can bear hardships and stand hard work, because I am often in the mountains, I have not been afraid of hardship or tiredness since I was a child, and this good habit can be fully reflected in my specific interviews with reporters. Third, I am kind-hearted, simple and brave. These qualities have always been with me...... Although I was a little nervous about participating in the journalist contest this time, I was not afraid, because I believe that as long as I am persistent, persistent, open-minded, and hard-working, I will definitely achieve good results. I hope that all the judges and teachers will give me this opportunity to learn in this big family and work with you to make the press corps better and better......"

After introducing herself, Xu Anqi also sang a song and performed her talent. When she stepped down, there was a round of applause. At that time, she knew in her heart that this time was not far from success.

As expected, a few days later, a list of new members of the press corps was announced on the school's billboard, with Xu Anqi on it. Angela Xu felt very happy and happy.

Song Kexi and Jumo in the dormitory were defeated, and Tang Zijun and Xu Anqi were selected in the Propaganda Department of the press corps.

Since then, Song Kexi has never admired journalists again. She always said that if a rural girl like Xu Anqi can also be a reporter, there is nothing to admire. She is still close to her boyfriend, but at the same time she has an ambiguous male friend at school.

Jumo is picky about her own eyes, and she is still not interested in the handsome guys in the school. She always thinks that the boys in this school are not tall, short, fat and thin, and they are not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you want to look good without looks, you want to be talented without talent. And boasted that there was no man in the school, and he had his own boyfriend handsome.

Everyone laughed at Jumo as a narcissist, and there was only her handsome guy who couldn't quench her thirst from far away.

Life is so plain and bland, Xu Anqi is like an ordinary college student, being a well-behaved student. Reading, writing, reading, and then going to school and doing some part-time work. Xu Anqi also applied for a 2,000 yuan stipend, part of which was sent home, and the rest was kept as living expenses.

Sometimes, Xu Anqi will also go to work as a tutor to earn some money and barely make ends meet.

But she is still very aware of her family background, never idle, and hopes to change the fate of herself and her mother by reading more.

For love, Xu Anqi never dared to have extravagant hopes. Because, in her heart, what qualifications do children from poor families have to be in school. It's a game that only rich people play, and it's too extravagant for that.

But there are some things that the more you don't want it, the faster it comes.

One day at noon, Xu Anqi went to the cafeteria for lunch and went to the library to borrow books as usual. As a result, the library's computer broke down and she couldn't punch in, so she had to go back.

The cold air made her stiff. As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she hurriedly hid in the quilt to warm up. Since there was no hot water bottle, I covered it for a long time, and my body was still cold. She curled up in a ball, clasping her arms around her feet.

There was no one in the dormitory. The other classmates in the same dormitory probably went out shopping and went on a date again, and went home from a trip.

A person's bedroom seemed a little deserted, but it was very quiet, without those worldly comparisons and sarcasm, Xu Anqi suddenly became very happy.

But what should we do? On the table is Xu Anqi's "Selected Poems of Tagore" and a notebook.

Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Who?" Xu Anqi asked while lying on the bed.

"Hello, I'm from the newspaper, and I'm here to deliver the newspaper." A crisp voice replied softly, somewhat cautiously.

"Oh, thanks, you can clip it to the crack of the door, I'll get it later."

The footsteps faded away. The body gradually warmed up. Xu Anqi put on her shoes, got up and opened the door and brought the newspaper in.

It's a little strange, according to the convention, Xu Anqi will casually throw it on the table. She has always felt that the above is nothing more than some "don't know the taste of sorrow, for the new words to say sorrow" of rich children complain, a few of them really experience the hardships of life, the darkness of society, all day long holding snacks while eating and calling for weight loss, all day long idle spend the moon before the moon to enjoy the scenery and sigh the time, only the pursuit of rhetoric metaphor extravagance, is a waste of time and a waste of life.

Although Xu Anqi worked in the press corps, she rarely went out to interview. Because, there were not many cameras in the regiment itself, and a few regimental cadres occupied the cameras. These newcomers, in addition to inviting their brothers and sisters to dinner, can follow along for a few days. is a newcomer like Xu Anqi, but she rarely goes out to practice.

Today, however, Angel Xu is very strange. When I woke up, I didn't have anything to do, so I picked up a newspaper and leaned against the bed, and read it boredly.

It's true that most of it is rubbish, except for a poem in the bottom left corner. The title is "Tonight, I Ride a Skinny Horse".

Tonight, I'm riding a skinny horse

Tonight, I'm riding a skinny horse

My dear

The sound of horses' hooves drove away death

The night begins

The weeds are thriving

My dear, I remain silent

A wheat on his back

The luggage of the years

Shake in your destiny

Shake out the rice fields

Shake and sweat

It's a deserted, empty city

Except for those wolves with their tails wagging their tails

The rest is rouge and gouache

My dear, I can't grasp goodness

Nor can they put their own bodies

Buried in the soil

Tonight, I'm riding a skinny horse

My dear I reject humanity

Only care about heaven – the eyes of the angels

Adapting to the light

The dawn sun was struck with a bang

Later in the poem there is a short introduction to the author.

Jia Xiaodao, a student of the class of 2006, is currently the president of XX Literature Society. He has published more than 200 articles in more than 20 public journals across the country and 2 novels. He has been selected as one of the top 100 Chinese college students by the Ministry of Education of China and the People's Daily.

Jia Xiaodao. Xu Anqi gently read the name in her heart.

However, who knows, this name later became Xu Anqi's nightmare.

(ix)

Time flies, three months have passed.

The dead trees on the campus have miraculously come to life, and some unknown flowers are blooming brightly. Song Kexi has broken up with her boyfriend and is now lying in the arms of a Chinese talent. Tang Zijun and her Sanda prince are inseparable every day, how can they be intimate.

Ju Mo has rarely appeared in schools recently, and it disappears every holiday. I don't know what she's doing. She told everyone that she was playing the piano in a big hotel to cultivate her sentiments. However, Xu Anqi has never seen it once, nor has she been there.

In the dormitory, two more girls came. In the freshman year, due to the different courses and the gap in class time, Xu Anqi rarely intersected with them.

It was the second day of New Year's Day, and the campus was a little deserted. In the afternoon, Xu Anqi went to the cafeteria to finish eating, and walked along the gardenia to an abandoned court. The north wind gently cut her face, and her hands were cold and red.

Standing on the empty playground, I saw the weeds that were yellow to pale, swaying in the cold wind. Some resemble the hillsides of my hometown. Suddenly he smiled. Life changes seasons, and there is no sorrow. In the next spring, they can be reborn and enjoy a feast. Xu Anqi suddenly felt a little sad.

The Internet café near the school charges cheaper, 1 yuan 5 an hour in the evening. Xu Anqi went to the counter and asked for a 2 yuan card, which could be used for more than an hour.

The homework is a bit tedious, and it is necessary to list the literary characteristics and works of the past dynasties. Xu Anqi opened Baidu and searched for one dynasty after another. It was already more than 7:40 after finishing my homework, and I opened the computer's management software and saw that there was still one dollar left in it. So I went on QQ to check out the blogs and literary news of some online writers.

was a little bored, and remembered the poem he liked, so he published it in his diary, and fell on Jia Xiaodao's name.

Just ten minutes later, the small speaker at the bottom of the screen lit up. Xu Anqi clicked on it, ready to delete it, thinking that it was nothing more than some boring people who love to add friends everywhere on the Internet. But when I clicked on it, I saw that in the remarks below, the word Jia Xiaodao was written.

Jia Xiaodao, Xu Anqi chuckled in her heart, and unexpectedly agreed.

Jia Xiaodao: Hello, nice to meet you!

Angel: Hello!

Jia Xiaodao: You have my poems in your space.

Angel: Well, I thought I liked it and posted it in the log.

Jia Xiaodao: Thank you for your like. What is your name?

Angel: My name is Angel.

Jia Xiaodao: Not your screen name?

Angel: My name is Angel, and my screen name is this, so I don't think there's anything to avoid.

Jia Xiaodao: It seems that you are quite straightforward. You saw my poem in the university newspaper?

Angel: Yes, I'm also a student at this university.

Jia Xiaodao: Why don't you put photos in your space?

Angel: Why do you put photos, the Internet itself is illusory. Who would expect any intersection in the network.

Jia Xiaodao: Your idea is very strange.

Angel: Maybe.

……

After chatting with Jia Xiaodao for a long time that day, Xu Anqi felt that he was very real, he should be like the person in his poem, with deep feelings in his heart, with some vicissitudes and despair for society.

Since that day, Xu Anqi and Jia Xiaodao have been in intermittent contact. He resents friendships that have never been strangers and have become acquainted with each other immediately. She has a long psychological distance and wants to protect herself in this way.

Later, Xu Anqi began to pay attention to Jia Xiaodao's articles in the hospital newspaper, and after reading a few articles, she gradually liked his words.

His words are different from those of his peers, simple and never unpretentious, very sincere, and behind those words, there are very deep feelings. I feel that he has some similarities with his own vision of this society, and his feelings are delicate, and he is a particularly fragile child at heart. I remember everything that happened in the past, and I am very grateful to the people who have helped me.

Xu Anqi was faintly in touch with Jia Xiaodao, and although they became friends on the Internet, they never met.

In fact, Jia Xiaodao was the president of the XX Literature Club of the university at the time, and people rarely saw him.

(5)

Life is like this, the more you want to meet someone, the more you can't. And the person you don't want to meet, but you meet by chance, and come into your life from then on.

That was later. At that time, Xu Anqi participated in the selection and freshman essay contest held by the school news agency.

It was a sunny day, full of white clouds, and a warm spring breeze.

When she rushed to classroom 223, there were already more than 50 people in the classroom. Xu Anqi lowered her head and found a remote corner to sit down.

She took out her phone and pen from her bag, put them on silent, and began to look at everyone in the classroom idly.

Everyone was in groups of two or three, setting up a dragon gate array. There are only a few people who are reading books with their heads down. Xu Anqi took out her mobile phone and flipped through the messages.

At that moment a boy in a brown-colored coat walked in, holding a stack of rolls. Xu Anqi saw that it was him again, it turned out to be the boy who sent her to the dormitory when she entered the school. Tall, handsome, and generally girls produce boys with their hearts.

This boy was in charge of Xu Anqi's invigilation in their examination room. After he introduced the subject matter and related requirements of the essay, the chatting students began to quiet down. They began to pick up their pens and answer questions with papers.

Angela Xu chose to write about campus life. Then, I sorted out the structure of my idea, but I didn't rush to answer the question. Then, there was the rustling of the pen.

I don't know how long it took, but the classroom suddenly became quiet. Xu Anqi raised her head and saw him standing beside her, watching her write. She muttered quietly in her heart, what else do people read when they write essays, it affects her thoughts.

He looked up and glanced around the classroom. Xu Anqi hurriedly buried his head, for fear that he would see something.

I don't know when I finished writing the essay. Xu Anqi's submission of the paper seemed to be very late. She secretly used the corner of her eye to scan the candidates in the classroom.

It turned out that the others had already left, leaving only Xu Anqi and a few other girls, as well as the boy who was invigilated. Angel Xu was very surprised, perhaps because she was so involved in writing that she lost track of time.

"It's you, how could it be you?" In the examination room, Xu Anqi was a little surprised.

"Haha, yes, it's fate." He stood in the hallway of the classroom and winked mischievously at me.

This boy's name is Lin Feng, and his original name is Lin Feng. In fact, it's Jia Xiaodao's roommate. But Xu Anqi couldn't have known. It wasn't until Jia Xiaodao paid her for the business that she understood everything. But that's all later.

Lin Feng is a popular figure in school, and he is also a lover. In addition, it is also one of the eight major truancy "protectors" of the Department of Chinese. The number of times I skip class is as high as more than 10 classes a week. The counselor of the Chinese Department, every time he named and criticized the student cadres, he used Lin Feng as a negative teaching material.

But how could Angel Xu know this?

"How? Is it written? But be serious, this time your on-site essay test, the quality of its results directly affects your development in school! Lin Feng whispered softly to Xu Anqi.

"Well, thank you, I will, believe in my strength!" Xu Anqi replied confidently. Because she knows that she has loved writing since she was a child, she once participated in the city's essay contest on behalf of the town's primary school and won the second prize.

Therefore, Xu Anqi is very sure. However, there is still some nervousness. Because this is her first time competing in college, the strength of the contestants is unknown to her.

The title of the essay written by Xu Anqi is called "Angel Wings", which is to tell a special story about a person's nostalgia and retrospective for a relationship and a road. She felt that she was the angel in this composition, faintly sad and painful, and the road under her feet was that indelible memory.

"It's well written, it's very dedicated, I will definitely win the award this time, I support you!" After the exam, Lin Feng patted Xu Anqi's shoulder and encouraged.

"Thank you, the article I wrote is not good, and I hope you will give me more advice in the future."

"Hehe, where, just learn from each other. By the way, it's so late, let's have dinner together. As your senior brother, I invite you to eat barbecue at the barbecue restaurant behind the school, it tastes very good! ”

"I still won't bother you, senior brother."

"What's the trouble, let's go, you just came to school, senior brother should invite you. Let's go, don't hesitate! Lin Feng put away the candidates' essay manuscripts, and then pulled Xu Anqi to the back of the school.

They walked on the gravel road of the school, and the two of them spoke very little. Lin Feng walked on the left, and Xu Anqi walked on the right. He sometimes introduced the history of the school to Xu Anqi, and sometimes told her what celebrities he liked. In Lin Feng's mouth, Xu Anqi knew about the past of this school. There are many students on the road, and many couples hug each other and walk on the school paths.

Seeing their intimacy, Xu Anqi felt a little lonely for the first time. When she was in high school, she was always repulsed when she saw the puppy love of the students in her class. At that time, the teacher often warned the classmates not to get involved in love too early. Love is actually a poison for young and immature middle school students. Because they can't taste the sweetness of love at all, they have already ruined their future and hope by this poison.

During her middle school years, Xu Anqi has always been an obedient child in the class, and she is also an excellent student in the eyes of the teacher.

She relied on her own efforts and was finally admitted to this fairly good university. I remember that on the day she was admitted to university, the whole class and teachers also held a celebration meeting for Xu Anqi. Because, in their eyes, Xu Anqi is the phoenix in the mountains and the pride of the mountains.

However, no one thought that now Xu Anqi gradually felt how small she was. Her study, life, in fact, everything is in the hands of other people's world, and her hard work and pride are so worthless in this society.

"What are you thinking, Angel!" Lin Feng took a fragrant chicken wing and handed it to Xu Anqi's mouth, "Eat it, the taste here is very authentic, it is an authentic Bashu flavor, and it is very distinctive." You have to try it! ”

Xu Anqi came back to her senses from her imagination, took the chicken wings he handed to her, and said thank you. That night, the two of them ordered a lot of delicious food, including chicken legs, celery, ham sausages, chicken feet, dried tofu and so on. When Lin Feng was happy, he also brought two bottles of beer from the boss, and Lin Feng drank it very happily alone.

That night, for Xu Anqi, was a little special. Because she didn't expect that she would see Lin Feng's confusion that night. can understand the real Lin Feng from another angle.

She believes that she has always had a misunderstanding about a rich kid like Lin Feng. In fact, they, like ordinary people, have confusion and panic. The radiant Lin Feng in people's eyes is actually just an ordinary person.

The night breeze blew quietly, a little cold.

Lin Feng sent Xu Anqi downstairs in the bedroom, "Good night, Anqi, I believe in you, you will definitely succeed, work hard!" ”

"Well, thanks, I will." Making a goodbye gesture to Lin Feng, she trotted into the girls' dormitory.

Lin Feng dragged his long back, wandering around the campus without direction.

The night is very quiet, and the sea of people is vast.
