Chapter 17, New Love
Xiao's studio holds classes from eight o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening, Meng Xiao is a student, and the dormitory has a curfew, so Meng Xiao is not allowed to attend classes from half past six to ten o'clock in the evening, and Meng Xiao can get off work until six o'clock.
Summer clothes are changed every day, Meng Xiao belongs to the sweaty physique, only two clothes in the dormitory are not enough to change and wash, and decided to call Yang Yi to get back the clothes in the rented old house.
The other party didn't answer, and the prompt was turned off.
took the bus to the old house, and the moment the door was opened, a smell of dust came rushing in, Meng Xiao didn't smell it, and walked into the bedroom and packed up his clothes.
She doesn't come here often to spend the night, and she doesn't have many clothes and items, just a medium-sized supermarket plastic bag can fill it.
After packing up, Meng Xiao prepared to leave.
Passing by the coffee table, Meng Xiao saw a bag on it. Black velvet with mandarin ducks playing in the water.
The flannel bag was a little familiar, Meng Xiao couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he picked it up and looked closely, and the gold store receipt inside made the memory return to Meng Xiao's mind.
This is what Yang Yi was holding in his hand when he was in the car accident, there was a gold bracelet in it, Yang Yi was in a coma and had to perform surgery and first aid, and she had no money to pay for medical expenses, so she sold the bracelet and paid him medical expenses.
Later, she didn't see Yang Yi when she transferred to the hospital, so she kept the bag thinking that she had the opportunity to explain it to Yang Yi. But missed the best time to explain, Yang Yi and her were too busy after the two of them were together, and gradually Meng Xiao forgot about it.
Now the bag is on the coffee table, which means that Yang Yi also saw it.
Meng Xiao picked up her mobile phone and sent Yang Yi a WeChat appointment to see her tomorrow, and she should also explain this bag clearly, so as not to misunderstand the whereabouts of the gold bracelet.
Yang Yi didn't reply, and Meng Xiao didn't ask again.
The next day, Meng Xiao went to the agreed place to wait for Yang Yi, but he didn't come until it was dark.
Meng Xiao took her thoughts, maybe people didn't care about it for a long time, maybe they were afraid that she would mention borrowing money again, and deliberately avoided her.
……
During the week, Meng Xiao told the head of the department about Meng Xun's injury, and asked the head of the department for a week off to go back to take care of Meng Xun.
Meng Xun is a boy, the ability to recover quickly, after a few days in the hospital, you can be discharged home to recuperate, Meng Xun's head teacher at the school Mr. Ma brought his books over, Meng Xun started the mode of learning at home.
The police station mediated many times, and Meng Xun's uncle agreed to cancel each other's injuries, and agreed that neither Meng Xun nor he would pursue the dispute over beating, but the 200,000 yuan owed must be returned to him as soon as possible, otherwise he will file a lawsuit after Meng Xun's college entrance examination.
This 200,000 is not a small amount for Meng Xiao, he basically had no deposit with Yang Yi in the first two years, and only 20,000 in his hands in the second half of the year.
She originally planned to keep the 20,000 yuan for her master's degree, but now it seems that she can't keep it.
Meng Xun returned the card that Meng Xiao gave him to her before, there are still 40,000 yuan in the card, and he has only spent 10,000 yuan on paying tuition fees and living in the past three years, and the balance in Meng Xiao's hand is still 120,000 yuan.
Meng Xun didn't let her take care of the arrears, but the court summons was sent over within two days, and the court session was on the third day after Meng Xun's college entrance examination.
His uncle really wanted to force Meng Xun to death for a house.
Meng Xiao was helpless, and in the morning, he excused himself to go out to buy groceries and went out with his card.
She has always stayed with this card, after she was sent to her grandmother's house, her father gave her a card, which will give her some living expenses every once in a while, this card has always been kept by her grandmother, Meng Xiao didn't know.
Grandma gave it to her when she died, saying that this was her father's last bit of heart.
Meng Xiao has been useless, her father was dead at that time, and she had sworn that she would never use him again in her life.
Now, use it for his baby stepson.
The total remittances in it, plus what they have, leave living expenses, and there is still a difference of 100,000.
Meng Xiao, who was exposed to the sun on the street, turned black in front of her eyes, this "100,000" was a curse, she couldn't take it out, and she couldn't escape.
……
On Friday afternoon, Meng Xiao went back to school.
It's still under the dormitory building, and Yang Yi is not there today.
When she entered the building, Meng Xiao met Li Ruoxi, she was wearing a beige skirt with overlapping lace, she looked like a delicate fabric, painted with delicate makeup, her curly hair was tied with a bow of the same color, and she was carrying a small handbag that was not practical at first glance, like a little princess in a fairy tale, bouncing out.
The color on her lips is delicate, like the girl Yang Yi took on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, trying the color of lipstick on his arm.
Meng Xiao's eyes darkened, his hands propped up on the wall and slowly stopped, leaning against the wall to gasp.
"Classmate Meng, are you okay?" Li Ruoxi saw Meng Xiao suddenly stop leaning against the wall, so he asked forward.
The two of them are in the same department, they belong to a relationship where they have heard about each other but have not intersected, and they have seen each other in professional classes and public classes, but they have never said a word.
"It's fine, it's a little hypoglycemic." Meng Xiao shook his head.
Li Ruoxi took out two toffees from his small handbag and gave them to Meng Xiao, and said with concern: "You should pay attention to low blood sugar, you can be more comfortable eating two sugars." ”
Meng Xiao didn't answer, the toffee was in French, and the candy paper packaging was exquisitely designed, so I knew it was a high-end product at a glance.
"Oh, this is the candy that my boyfriend brought back from France yesterday, it's not a miscellaneous brand, it's very famous in France, it's not common in China, it's delicious, you try it." Li Ruoxi saw that Meng Xiao didn't answer, and hurriedly explained that this sugar was not a miscellaneous brand.
"My boyfriend knows that I like to eat, so he drove in line in France to buy it for me, and it's limited." Meng Xiao couldn't tell for a while, whether she was saying that the sugar was delicious or showing off the good boyfriend in her mouth.
"But I'm afraid of being fat, so I only eat one a day, and these are for you, you're welcome." She said sweet troubles, and she couldn't see that Meng Xiao was almost unable to stand at the moment.
This boyfriend is talking about Yang Yi, right? Meng Xiao was dizzy, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath for a long time before recovering his strength.
She also has a boyfriend, why isn't Li Ruoxi half of her good to her?
After Li Ruoxi finished speaking, he stuffed the sugar into Meng Xiao's hand and trotted outside.
"My boyfriend is here, I won't tell you, goodbye."
Meng Xiao leaned against the wall with soft hands and feet, and his eyes chased Li Ruoxi to look outside the dormitory building, and under the street lamp outside, Yang Yi's figure appeared, with a straight suit and a polite style.
After meeting with Li Ruoxi, the two walked out side by side.
He didn't see her, or he did, and pretended he didn't.
Meng Xiao didn't go to the dormitory, so he forced himself to go directly to the old house, which was the same as last week, full of dust, and it seemed that Yang Yi had not come back to live.
Also, how could a delicate rich lady like Li Ruoxi be willing to come to such an old place to clean Yang Yi.
Picking up the phone to call Yang Yi, still turned off, Meng Xiao suddenly remembered that they hadn't talked for a long time, she was not a clingy girlfriend, and he was not a boyfriend who could take care of people.
People have another phone number, maybe that's the normal social number, but there is no her in it.
Meng Xiao stayed in the old house all night, her breath was full of dust, choking her coughing all night, and she still waited with discomfort, hoping that Yang Yi would come back.
can find her haggard, can give her support, and help her through this period of hardship.
The scene flashed before her eyes, she was cooking in the kitchen, he was cleaning, and finally fell back to the dust in front of him.
Yang Yi didn't come back all night, and it seems that he won't come back anytime soon.
She is now weighed down by debt, and she can't think of where Yang Yihui and Li Ruoxi are going.
Meng Xiao took off his key, put it on the coffee table together with the two toffees that Li Ruoxi had sent, and got up to leave.
Someone else's house, she is not suitable to come again.
