Chapter 41 The terms of the exchange with Sheriff Ku
Arriving at the park, Xingyue finds Yuexia on a bench.
At that time, the breeze was gusting and the leaves were colorful. The fragile woman sat in the corner, her eyes closed, and sat quietly among the falling leaves, as if all the joys of the world had nothing to do with her. She kept rubbing her wet eyes with the back of her hand, and her face was sallow.
Xingyue looked at Yuexia who kept wiping her tears, and was so distressed: "Stupid girl, it's just a job, isn't it hard to find?" Who are you looking at with your world-weary face? Do you think you're a star? Let's go, my sister will take you to a big meal. Then tomorrow pick yourself together and look for a job. β
The two went to the barbecue stall first, and through the thick aromatic fireworks, Yuexia swallowed her saliva.
"You order, I'll treat you." Xingyue patted Yuexia on the shoulder.
"Then you're welcome. Boss, ten lamb kebabs, two kebabs. Xingyue, what do you want? β
"Three skewers of grilled gluten."
Yuexia's eyes were sore from the oven, and tears flowed: "Why does she treat me like that, oh usually respect her so much, why does she want to fire me?" Just because you don't like me? β
"Perhaps. What stupid things did you do before the dean fired you? β
"It's nothing, it's just to remind her of the club called Dream Hall. I'm telling you, I think that Dream Hall has something to do with the evil forces. β
"You, told her that?" Xingyue looked at Yuexia with a surprised face.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"That's it, even a person like you can find out that there is something wrong with the Dream Hall, so the dean understands what is going on. The dean of education has the heart to protect the Dream Hall, can't you see it? Although the Dean of Education has long been disgusted with you, the root cause of your expulsion is this Dream Hall. Probably she thinks you've found something. β
"Actually, I did find something, but I can't tell you the specifics. Do you know how important this is to me? I've got to stop them, but there's no chance now. Yuexia took a sip of water, but she was suddenly choked and accidentally spit it all out.
Xingyue glanced at her embarrassed appearance and said, "But, what does this matter have to do with you?" You just need to be yourself, so why bother. You see, now, you're at a loss. β
Yuexia wanted to tell Xingyue about the underground castle, but after thinking about it again, she still didn't say it, after all, it was a major matter related to the survival of the world.
After eating, Yuexia proposed, "Let's go for dessert again." β
"Wow, it's a blueberry puff." Yuexia ate wildly regardless of her image, and kept drinking milk tea.
Don't forget to raise your head and ask, "Xingyue, you pay after you say it." β
Xing Yue handed over a tissue: "Anyway, the money I spend now is also your Xing family's money." β
Yuexia's face was gloomy again, pouting her mouth stuffed with puffs, her eyes were lowered, like an unhappy hamster.
Xingyue hurriedly changed the topic: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about the Xing family." By the way, the high school party that day was very interesting, why don't you go? Listen to Xiaoli, what misunderstanding do you have about her, so you don't want to go? β
"Don't mention it, I'm being pitted by the original pear." Yuexia just finished eating a plate of puffs, and stuffed strawberry cake into her mouth.
"However, she is such a kind girl, and she has no grievances with you, why should she trap you?"
"Heh, she's just acting in front of you. She has always hated me. I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I never mentioned it. Now that you have asked, I will tell you the truth. If you don't believe me, I have nothing to say. β
"Okay, I trust you." Xingyue wiped her mouth for Yuexia again, "What are you vomiting with me?" β
"What should I do in the future? What else can I do with my life? Yuexia ate and cried again.
"There are jobs everywhere in the world, so why should you worry? Usually you have so many big truths, why can't you think about them now? With your IQ, it's easy to get another job as a teacher. β
"No, I was expelled from my last school." Yuexia took a sip of flower tea, "And now in Tianhai City, there are so many people who want to be teachers, plus my personality is not pleasant." I guess it's hard to be a teacher anymore. β
"You can say that you resigned and erased this disgraceful thing."
"I'll try."
"Yuexia, there's something I've always wanted to ask you, you've been spitting out lately, as if you have something on your mind. Could it be that something tricky has happened? β
"No, I'm fine, I'm just anxious lately." Yuexia deliberately concealed it, but her expression and tone betrayed herself, making Xingyue feel more and more wrong.
"By the way, you said last time that you wanted to tell me about Zhaozhao, what happened?"
Yuexia sadly put down the skewers in her hand: "Regarding Zhaozhao's jumping off the building, I figured out the reason later. It turns out that Witness and Apple have really been leading other girls to bully her, as well as her homework and papers, all of which have been taken away by Ping Ping. Later, it was Apple who deliberately snatched her boyfriend. And my only friend who is Zhaozhao is always not interested in her, and I even deliberately avoided her in the days before she died. β
"Actually, it's not your fault. She is not a person who can stand on her own feet, and if she becomes strong herself, who will bully her. β
"How can you say that? In such an isolated environment, even immortals will feel hopeless in life. Have you ever lived in that situation, you have been carefree and have no way of understanding her pain. In fact, everyone has long guessed that you have a wealthy family, so they have always been respectful to you. If you switch places with Zhaozhao, can you guarantee that you will be able to withstand those things? I hate it when you always act like you don't care about yourself. β
Xingyue's face became obviously embarrassed: "You haven't been drinking, why do you look drunk." β
Xingyue continued: "Why do you say that I live a carefree life. Do you know the pain of sending people under the fence every day? You are the real eldest lady of the Xing family, I have never known where my biological parents are, and I still occupy the magpie's nest, do you understand the uneasiness in my heart? How lucky you are that when you were a baby, you were adopted by your adoptive parents and had a warm home. When he became an adult, he found his biological parents again. As for me, before I was eight years old, I had been living a life without relatives, and even if I was adopted, I couldn't find my place at home, and I was still estranged from them. You say, compared to you, am I miserable? It should be that I envy you, you can be yourself freely, if you don't have money, you can go to the star family at any time! You're the real big lady, you know? β
Yuexia was shocked, and a little annoyed: "I dare to swear that I have never asked the Xing family for a penny, and I never want to go back." I have no relationship with them. And even if you are under the fence, you are in a much better situation than Zhaozhao. Why don't you have any sympathy for Zhaozhao? You have changed, and you are becoming more and more different from when you were a child. In other words, I don't fall into the stream, I'm too naΓ―ve. β
"You're just naΓ―ve, otherwise, how can you be expelled? How ridiculous it is for a teacher to be fired, only a teacher who has made a mistake will be fired in this world. And you, who were kicked out of school just because you said a word, no one who listens to it will believe it. β
"Are you embarrassed to say me? Isn't there something wrong with your personality too? You've always been arrogant, when have you ever put other people in your eyes? β
"Hmph, I'm just afraid that it will affect your mood, so I've been hiding it from you." Xingyue took out her phone and opened the photo album, "Actually, since I arrived at college, I have a lot of friends, but I am not as close as you." The two of us are not in the same department, and then we are not on the same campus, of course you don't know these things. Looking at it now, my social circle is getting wider and wider, but you are the only one who guards me, and you don't even go to the class reunion. Who are you to criticize me? β
Xingyue flipped through them one by one, including birthday parties, skiing, ice skating, spring outings, clubs and even weddings.
"Why are you hiding these things from me?" Yuexia's face became more and more ugly, "We are also good friends, why don't you introduce me to them?" β
"My social circle, what's your business? Don't always feel that others should be nice to you? Besides, wouldn't it be a shame for me to take you to meet other friends like this. β
"What do you say? Lose face? Yuexia looked incredulous.
Xingyue realized that her words were a little serious, and her eyes looked down.
After all, she is also in her twenties, and Yuexia doesn't want to cry when she was angry like when she was a child, she said quietly: "Okay, I know, I will change it slowly." β
Xingyue bit into the milk tea habit and nodded slightly.
An eerie atmosphere permeated the two of them, mixed with the fishy smell of jealousy and the sweetness of the past, and more of the anger of misunderstanding. Maybe the personalities of the two people are getting bigger and bigger, and they are no longer as innocent, simple and fearless as they were when they were children. Perhaps, Xingyue has been striding forward in the crowd, and Yuexia has always been stagnant in place.
Xingyue hopes that Yuexia can cheer up and make progress. And Yuexia didn't agree with Xingyue's concept.
However, at this moment, they don't understand each other at all. Yuexia thinks that Xingyue has changed, and she is not as kind as before. And Xingyue thinks that Yuexia is dull and unreasonable.
They just sat silently, both expecting the other to say something. But the two of them really didn't say anything, and just sat like this for ten minutes.
Xingyue looked at her phone, breaking this embarrassing scene and putting her into an even more embarrassing situation: "That, Yuexia, I'm still reacting in the laboratory." I asked my junior brother to help watch it just now, and when it's time, it's time for me to go back. I won't accompany you yet. β
"Oh." Yuexia didn't raise her face.
Xingyue wanted to say something more, but she didn't say anything, so she took a taxi back to the lab.
But the moment he walked into the car, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Yuexia, who was following behind: "Your biological father is sick, and at home, although there is a private doctor to take care of him, but if you are willing to go back and see ......"
Before she finished speaking, Xingyue didn't know how to continue, so she slammed the car door shut.
