"Help me..."

When Yang Fan first received this call, he thought it was a prank or a scam call, because even if someone asks for help, normal people should call the police station instead of spending time calling themselves.

But the tone on the phone was anxious and the voice was inexplicably familiar, so Yang Fan patiently did not hang up the phone and continued to answer.

"Come and save me at the Shute Cafe on Minsheng Road. The voice on the phone carried a hint of crying and despair, which made people unbearable to refuse.

"I'll call the police for you. Yang Fan listened to the voice on the phone, and he said very calmly.

"Don't call the police...", the voice on the phone became panicked when he heard the alarm. When Yang Fan heard this tone, he began to feel that this was a prank, and Yang Fan's tone said with a hint of impatience, "I'm busy, I don't have time to accompany you to play a prank." ”

"It's really not a prank, Yang Fan, you have to believe me, I'm Lin Xue, come on." The voice on the phone was still a little panicked, in order to prove that this was not a prank, and called out Yang Fan's name and his identity on the phone.

"Lin Xue..."Yang Fan was stunned when he heard that it was Lin Xue, since the last class reunion, the two of them have not been in touch. Moreover, Lin Xue is a person from two worlds with herself in terms of dress, education, and appearance, and now she will actually call herself for help, which makes Yang Fan at a loss.

"Come on. Please. After Lin Xue finished speaking, the phone suddenly hung up.

Yang Fan listened to the busy tone on the phone, he didn't know what mood he was in now, he stood motionless in front of the computer like a log.

After I don't know how long, Yang Fan finally made up his mind to go to Minsheng Road according to Lin Xue's instructions on the phone. He quickly changed his clothes, then prepared the bank card and cash, and instructed the little ones in the family to let them eat obediently, and then casually explained the matter and prepared to go out.

"Ruthless and unrighteous classmate, what are you helping her!?" Lan looked at Yang Fan's back and asked incomprehensibly, because she had seen Lin Xue and Yang Fan's embarrassed appearance after attending the class reunion, she had no good impression of Lin Xue, and even a little disgusted.

Yang Fan listened to Lan's words, his movements were a little hesitant, and then he thought about it and said seriously

"Because, she needs me. ”

In Lan's puzzled eyes, he chose to go out.

Minsheng Road is not far from Yang Fan's house, and it is not close to it, Yang Fan tried to take a taxi to no avail, so he decided to run over. While anxiously calling back Lin Xue's phone, he sped up his pace and ran towards Minsheng Road, sweat wetting his forehead, making him run hard like a madman.

"You say, will Yang Fan come?" said a tall and mighty boy playfully.

"I bet a hundred yuan, and he will definitely come, because when he was in high school, he was fascinated by Lin Xue. A fat man said, and then the fat man turned his head to look at Lin Xue and praised, "Your acting skills are so good, we both were almost deceived by you." ”

Lin Xue sat aside, looked at the two boys, ignored the fat man's words, sat on the side, and said worriedly, "Will it be too much of a joke?" Her beautiful face had a hint of regret.

The mobile phone she put on the table kept vibrating, and it was all Yang Fan's phone.

"No, it won't. A boy with a big head smiled and said, "How can it be too much, he didn't attend the class reunion last time, so we waited for a while, and this time it should be teased." The boy who spoke was one of Yang Fan's few good friends in High School. The cowardly big head has already vaguely become a successful person, as can be seen from his dress and expensive watches.

"When the time comes, let's apologize to him. He's not such a stingy guy either. A man with round-rimmed glasses said that his face was very kind, and that he was Yang Fan's best friend in high school except for the big head. He seemed to be the same as before, nothing had changed, and he was still a little cowardly.

The words of the glasses caused the people present to nod for a while, and the trace of regret on Lin Xue's face also disappeared because of the words of the eyes.

This is another class reunion, everyone met together, I heard about Yang Fan's last encounter from Lin Xue, everyone didn't think about coming out for Yang Fan, at most it was just a verbal talk about the glasses, everyone has experienced a period of social tempering, everyone is scrambling to show their best side, for fear that their classmates will look down on themselves.

How to show the best side, how to show the sense of superiority? It is nothing more than comparison, nothing more than stepping on unsatisfactory people. Especially people like Yang Fan, who don't have frequent contact and don't have a formal job. In their eyes, not in the eyes of the whole society, full-time writers of online literature are only divided into two kinds, one is commercially successful, basically recognized by the society, and is crowned with the title of the god of successful people. The other is the one who persists in the streets, or losers who earn less than 2,000 a month.

This is a cruel and cruel reality, especially in this materialistic society, the so-called success represents your earning power. And those who pay silently, those who only do one thing seriously all their lives and do not pay well, will only be crowned as losers in the end.

Yang Fan kept making phone calls, kept hurting the time of the watch, and kept running. Passers-by on the street, looking at Yang Fan who was running, couldn't help but shake their heads and then continued to move forward, Yang Fan was like a fish going straight upstream, shuttling through this indifferent street, and finally, he came to Shute Cafe out of breath.

The beautifully decorated café that fills the street full of sparsely decorated small restaurants is a bit out of place, but there is an inexplicable magic that attracts people to keep walking in.

Yang Fan, who was sweating profusely, wiped his forehead, took a long breath, and then plucked up the courage to walk into the café.

This is the first time he has come to the café, the aroma of coffee mixture comes to his nose, there are many people inside, many people are whispering about work and their own things, there are also some people holding laptops while drinking coffee while working, the café is playing lazy and elegant music, as if contact with Yang Fan is two worlds.

Yang Fan kept looking for Lin Xue's figure slowly in the café, his heart was beating fast, because he couldn't predict what would happen next, he was nervous, but he was cautious, for fear that he would alarm those who worked.

"Hey, he's coming. The big head saw Yang Fan with sharp eyes, and put his finger to the center of his lips and made a shushing expression.

Everyone looked at the embarrassed Yang Fan, at the person who always brought stories to their class reunions, at the cautious but extremely nervous Yang Fan, and at the familiar and unfamiliar Yang Fan.

With a hint of malicious smiles, everyone waited for what Yang Fan's expression would be when he found out that he had been made a joke.

Yang Fan saw Lin Xue and sat aside safely, his face was a little unnatural, but with an expectant smile, the hanging heart finally fell, he hurriedly ran over, and then he whispered excitedly

"Are you alright..."
