Chapter VIII

went home and took a shower, Shu Dong lay on the bed. I didn't turn on the lights, I didn't look at my phone, I just stared out the window so blankly.

Ringo wouldn't tell anyone that she had a raise.

She just sent money today.

Aunt Zhang will know.

In the darkness, there was only the sound of Shu Dong's breathing, sometimes steady and sometimes long, and the previous things were like movie clips emerging in front of him.

When she graduated from junior high school, she thought that she would be able to go to high school smoothly, although her grades were not too good, but they were not bad. However, Aunt Zhang said that the family was very difficult and could not afford to send her two children to school, so she also held her hand and cried to her as she did today.

At that time, she really wanted to go to school.

Later, when she saw the tattoo parlor recruiting apprentice Shu Dong went, she couldn't say whether she liked it or not, at that time, she just wanted something to do.

In the first year, he didn't have a salary, but he just studied with Brother Lin, and he made trouble with him from time to time.

In the second year, it was only a few hundred yuan, and Aunt Zhang said that she was too young, so she helped herself save the money.

In the third year, more than 2,000 points, Shu Dong gave Aunt Zhang 500 a month.

It's been more than four years now, and Brother Lin gave her a few hundred yuan last month.

It's just that after such a long time, Shu Dong has never seen the money again.

Uncle Jian Zhou sells insurance, and Shu Dong doesn't know how much he earns, but Aunt Zhang has no job and takes care of her husband and children at home, keeping the house in order. Therefore, all the burden of family expenses is pressed on Uncle Jian Zhou alone.

Their house is very small, with a two-bedroom layout, which was bought by Aunt Zhang and Uncle Jian Zhou when they got married. At that time, the development of the old city was still very good, and it was not easy to buy such a house, but after the new district was built, it became more and more lonely.

Shu Dong and Shu Zhengyu are 5 years apart, when Shu Zhengyu was a child, he could live in one room with his uncle and aunt, and Shu Dong in one room, but he got older and older.

When I was in junior high school, Uncle Jian Zhou put a single folding bed in the living room, and then Shu Dong slept there, and Jeongwoo slept in her original room.

Later, after graduating from junior high school, Shu Dong stopped going to school, and Brother Lin treated her very well, and let her live in the shop for the first two years in the tattoo parlor.

But then she grew up, and Brother Ringe also had a girlfriend, although Brother Ringo didn't live there, it was always inconvenient. So Shu Dong rented a house outside, a one-bedroom apartment of twenty square meters, seven or eight hundred a month.

Although she doesn't earn much in a month and has to give Aunt Zhang a little, Shu Dong doesn't buy much clothes and other things, and has almost no other expenses a month.

When she finished applying for the bank card, Aunt Zhang asked her for the password and said that it was safer for her to keep the card at home. So for two years, Shu Dong has hardly seen that card. In addition to taking out 500 yuan every month to Aunt Zhang in person, in fact, the rest of the money is also in her and keeps......

Thinking of this, Shu Dong was stunned and hurriedly took out her mobile phone, the screen suddenly lit up in the dark, she squinted her eyes and opened the mobile banking......

Balance: 87.3 yuan

Shu Dong's mind was a little messy, if he was not mistaken, not counting today's salary, there should be four thousand yuan here.

Did you already withdraw the money before you came to tell her? Or did she withdraw the money immediately after agreeing?

stared at the mobile phone screen for a long time, until it went out automatically, Shu Dong still maintained the movement of holding the mobile phone. The room without air conditioning in the summer turned out to be a little cold.

Luckily, I just paid this month's rent last week.

Fortunately, Brother Lynn will take care of her food.

It's just that there's no way to go to an internet café to kill time.

In the hazy consciousness, Shu Dong dreamed of many fragmentary pictures, the green train in the winter fifteen years ago, and Aunt Zhang holding her hand during dinner at night......

In the silence of the night, the mobile phone placed next to the pillow suddenly lit up, followed by the familiar ringtone of the mobile phone.

The picture suddenly stopped, and Shu Dong frowned and fumbled with his phone.

"Hello?" didn't see who it was, Shu Dong directly crossed the answer button.

"Asleep?" Yu Zhiyi listened to her slightly lazy voice and was stunned for a moment.

Hearing the familiar voice, Shu Dong opened his eyes in the dark, and his head was a little dizzy: "Well, I'm a little tired today, have you finished writing your report?" ”

Yu Zhiyi walked on the playground of the school, surrounded by people in pairs and threes, but they were all far apart, and he walked on the outskirts of the runway: "Be lazy today, and write together tomorrow." ”

Shu Dong smiled, and saw the moon hanging in the starry sky through the window, the sleepiness had completely disappeared, and she looked at the time, it was only ten o'clock.

"Busy today?" A few people came over there, and Yu Zhiyi walked up to the stands.

"It's okay, it's not very busy." Shu Dong held his phone in one hand and put the other arm on his eye.

"How can you be so tired?" Yu Zhiyi sat on a chair and looked at the scattered figures on the playground.

Hearing his gentle voice on the phone, Shu Dong suddenly felt very aggrieved, her throat seemed to be stuck with cotton, and she was silent for a moment: "I'm going home tonight." ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiyi frowned, and he was curious about her family, when the two of them were just together: "If you are not happy to go back, try not to go back in the future." ”

Shu Dong smiled, in fact, sometimes, some things are not avoided if you don't like them: "Well, I know." ”

Yu Zhiyi walked to the east of the stand: "Don't think about these unhappy things, I'll go back this Friday and take you to the movies." ”

Watching a movie? Shu Dong hasn't been there for a long time. But thinking about going with him, I suddenly felt that life was not so bad, and I just wanted to hurry up for the weekend.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." In the hazy moonlight, the smile on the girl's face was not very clear.

"If you have something unhappy to tell me in the future, you are not by my side, I don't know if you don't say it, you will get sick if you hide it in your heart." The light refracted a cold light on the lens, and when Yu Zhiyi said this, there was no gentleness or indifference on his face, but he didn't say something beautiful without ups and downs.

However, these beautiful words, which were as pale as paper, took root in Shu Dong's barren heart, and she raised her hand and touched her eyes, which were a little wet.

"Zhiyi, thank you."

"We don't need to talk about that." Hearing her more pharyngeal and uneven breathing, Yu Zhiyi smiled, waiting for the answer he wanted.

"You come back early that weekend, I'll pick you up at the station." In the dark, Shu Dong sat up and rested his chin on his knees.

But Yu Zhiyi frowned, he never heard the answer he wanted to hear, and after a pause, he said, "Okay, I'll call you in advance." ”

"Well, then you can rest quickly, good night." Shu Dong said.

"Dongdong, wait a minute." Under the street lamp, the boy's expression was far less warm than what he said.

"Huh?" Shu Dong was puzzled.

"Next week I'll move out with my classmates and rent with them...... I may have to borrow your money first, and then pay you back when I pay you. "The self-proclaimed honor student, who may borrow money from someone for the first time in his life, is still with his girlfriend, and he is a little embarrassed.

But isn't that what he's been thinking about for so long?

So, it's not as hard to talk as you think.

For a while, Shu Dong was stunned, not knowing how to tell him. Why do things suddenly crash together? And she had already promised Yu Zhiyi a long time ago.

After a few seconds of not listening to her, Yu Zhiyi asked tentatively, "What's wrong, is it inconvenient?" ”

"Nope." Shu Dong hurriedly denied it, her throat was a little dry, she licked her lips, "Here you are on the weekend." ”

"Thank you, baby." Yu Zhiyi smiled on his face, "Then you go back to sleep, call me if you have something." ”

"Okay, good night."

"Good night."

Pretentious people don't mean they won't do dirty things, they often look beautiful and clean on the surface, but the more so, in order to maintain their false skin, in order to achieve their ends by unscrupulous means, in other invisible corners, the more dirty and despicable they have to do.

Shu Dong didn't know what kind of gentle and cruel trap he had fallen into, so he just lay on the bed and couldn't sleep.

As soon as Yu Zhiyi hung up the phone, he saw a person standing three meters away, his roommate. Yu Zhiyi's heart pounded, I don't know if he heard it.

"Who are you calling?" Zhang Chao walked towards Yu Zhiyi with a big grin.

Yu Zhiyi's face did not change: "The sister of a relative." ”
