Chapter 15: Bread and Butter
Like Norris, I didn't stand much of a chance to be a so-called college girl.
But I have hands and feet, and the width of my shoulders and the length of my legs are just right to fit into a nice suit, and I can fit it perfectly.
I am not a female college student, but I can be a female college student dance partner, and in my seventh year after I dropped out of school, I finally experienced a modern school life again, and I could compete with the new social white-faces to see whose face is smoother, whose hair has enough hair oil, and whose hair is smooth and can be used as a mirror.
It's a real honor, a great honor.
In the past, they could only drink three cocktails, but now they have a machine that they don't know if they got from the tin area, or if they assembled it themselves, and it is said that if they throw a few grapes, they can throw a full glass of wine.
If you have a brain, you don't want to do good, so you think about drinking and writing love letters.
I can't help but sigh: the times are advancing.
At first, I waited patiently, but I have to admit that I still overestimated myself, and underestimated the person I was slow to bait under the fishing rod, she was different from those frizzy girls whose bust hovered between C and D, from behavior to personality, she was not very cold to this kind of ball, and would rather guard the broken computer at home, the new smart terminal, she always said Norris, a Norris, said Norris was waiting for her at home, said Norris said that her legs were two inches longer than the heroine of the night-flow, said that Norris had already picked the world's top 100 black and white films, and she promised to save half a month to enjoy them, and if she couldn't watch them all, she had to watch at least half of them, and since there was no dance partner to find her, she didn't even have to think about the excuse of not going, she just needed to go to her old partner in the astronomy club a day in advance.
I really wanted to scold my mother at that time, and I wanted to find a passerby to compare the middle finger, whether I knew it or not.
In vain, I worked hard in the women's pile for all those years, and Mrs. Lin, who was as arrogant as a black swan, was coaxed into obedience, but she was overwhelmed by a machine and couldn't lift her head.
An artificial intelligence.
Shameful.
I couldn't hold back and didn't want to miss the opportunity to get closer, so I had to go to her again in the name of showing off her new car.
Is the eighteen-and-nineteen coming-of-age ceremony important? Definitely important.
But nothing can be achieved without a dance partner, the new era is the same as the old era, from time to time to comment on what ball queen, not to mention that the advertising screen of the building is placed with the slogan of equal rights for men and women all year round, but there are always people who will make a big deal of special for this name, change into a fluorescent skirt purchased in advance, step on twelve-inch high heels, and turn around in circles all night, eager to hold everyone's eyes, just waiting for the moment when the lights are concentrated and the crown is put on the top of the head.
If you can't fight for the crown, you have to fight for a dance partner, and society will always remain the same, regardless of whether you are a transgender person.
I occasionally regret dropping out of school and running to the dock and then running from the dock to the newspaper, but if I had experienced this kind of dance and dropped out of school, with my ability, I would have easily asked the most beautiful girl in the school to be my dance partner, and when we finished two round dances, I believe I would not have this kind of regret.
I remembered that I carried a new car to send her to class that day, and her generosity and indifference hurt me a little, as if you had worked very hard, and thought that this was the capital to show off, but she just raised her eyelids, and didn't say she liked or disliked it, but just signaled with her eyes that you had better come up with some real skills later, otherwise everything would not be discussed.
I thought a little ironically that her temper would definitely be excluded in school, exclusion is certain, I knew a long time ago that beautiful people of the opposite sex can get along, but not the same sex, she is still far worse than those prom sweethearts, not to mention that she is beautiful and has all A's, not to mention that she has countless love letters, all of which have been thrown into the trash by the one in her family, which is so unconvincing.
Even if I knew it was an imagination, for a moment, I hoped it was true.
Although the person who is soaked in the mud will be eager to climb out, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely not remind the people on the side of the road that there is a piece of mud here, and he will definitely drag them down together.
Sadly, that's the kind of person I am.
Putting aside imagination, the reality is that she handles interpersonal relationships very well, excellent people don't need to be enthusiastic, or even need to deal with hypocrisy, as long as she generously contributes her test paper answers, she can get the quiet she wants.
At least she can make everything peaceful on everyone's face, better than me, a poor boy who is always using his brain.
Oh, I bought a new car with self-driving, but I still like to drive it myself, I don't talk about the price of this car, in short, relying on my current position, I have to save at least two months, in short, I used two months to catch up with the basic conditions for Lynn to go out ten years ago, it's really sad to think about it.
The purpose of showing off is too obvious, and the result is often the opposite, I know that she sees my frizziness and sensitivity, and sincerely expresses understanding, she sincerely praises my vision, clever people always don't want to see others lost and sad, so they deliberately ignore my nouveau riche tastes, I also deliberately told a lame joke, in order to hide my inferiority, in fact, to be honest, I am also embarrassed, the little girl has grown up, not as easy to deceive as before, It's not a few meaningless compliments that will make her willingly pay for you with a pocket, or I wouldn't have tried to maintain the illusion of humor, but I don't even have half the stock of a machine.
What can I do about this, I have such a taste, a character similar to that of a nouveau riche, I don't like white shirts and jeans, I have to spend a lot of money on a beautiful suit, a good leather jacket is worn for three years, I am so superficial, once I have something good, I immediately want to show off, but I am taboo to get bad feedback, so I take care of him, so my girlfriends usually can't stand my pretending to be profound, and sarcastic tone, and often leave me before three months.
I forced them out.
To be a man to be informed and interesting, my surface kung fu can last up to three months, but my appetite is huge, how to change it can't be changed, I went to see it once, chest lens, there are not a few decent doctors in the hospital, like people are not real people, I once saw the old man in a bed next door sprayed his breakfast and lunch into a spray on the nurse opposite him, but the replicant was not angry at all, and even turned a blind eye to the disgusting pasty objects on his body, and changed his clothes to inject insulin for him, That kind of sincerity is at least more sincere than his own son.
The more I wanted to cure the physical disease, the more it cost money, and I was lying in a transparent coffin, and finally came to the conclusion that this was the sequelae of running out of the dock, and the poor had no food to eat, and they had to work, so everyone on the boat grabbed food, and the more difficult it was, the more they had to rob.
I can't cure it, so my problem just followed, and I served for the rest of my life.
I have suffered, I didn't suffer much before the mechanical revolution, three meals a day at home were served on time, and my life was ordinary and ordinary, but after that, I have eaten all the hardships I can endure in the world, and I will never forget.
And what I said when I went to eat was true, her skills were really good, which made me suspect that the nagging butler was trying to train her to be a cook, a beautiful cook.
My relationship with Lynn began with a piece of cake, I don't know what a little girl wanted to do with the cake at that time, I only noticed that she was delicate and cute, and she was also cute when she lost her soul, like a set of porcelain dolls for eight people sold in the antique market, I thought that I was just out of subtle sympathy to go to condole, at that time I was not very successful myself, I was still a poor boy, I was hungry for three days late in my eyes, I chatted with her for a few words and couldn't help but eat her cake, the goal was cake from the beginning, refreshing cream, The taste is delicate, and it is a hundred times more delicious than the fifteen yuan sold at my doorstep.
Later I told her I was sorry, if I knew it was her mother's birthday cake, I wouldn't have put it in my mouth even if I was starving.
But I ate it all, and she was so anxious with me, I couldn't have spit it out for her at that time.
I was going to accompany her to the prom, and I was a little ashamed of myself in front of the mirror, and after carefully shaving my face with a toner razor, I felt like I was eighteen again, the boy who could afford a suit, flirting with his female classmates in class, getting expensive desserts from them, and not even the stubble on my chin had grown.
Looking at that mirror, two voices in my head were in the ring, and I heard them say to me: Suelen, you really don't think about it? Are you in it for her money or something else? Don't think I don't know, you don't really want to make a move on such a little girl, you know too well that her money allows you to do anything directly, not to mention that she is beautiful.
The one on the right stopped the voice on the left and said, "Don't listen to that idiot, you have a good job now, go to the bar and invite the pretty girls for a drink, and they'll stay with you for three months, isn't that what you're for?" Are you really going to confuse her with the other women you've teased? Do you really not know that she treats you as a friend, second only to her friend?
I shook my head hard, but I didn't listen.
I desperately need money, money can change everything.
I was also desperate to deny that I had a little liking for her, just because she gave me two pieces of cake at the moment I was down.
I had to let go of all that senseless guilt.
We have to solve the problem of food and clothing first, and then talk about emotional problems.
It's like I have to grab the bread in my hands before I think about grabbing the butter.
Who doesn't love bread?
