Chapter 21: His Story

There is a bustling street area on the side of Haishu Garden, which is full of traffic and hustle and bustle on weekdays, and if you catch up with the weekend, it is a traffic jam that is crowded with people, and it will not stop here until three o'clock in the morning.

Maybe it's because there are so many people here, or maybe it's because I've heard a lot of "cases" of single girls since I was a child, Lin Xia rarely comes here on weekdays, and even a little closer here, there will be a trace of inexplicable unease in my heart......

But Zhang Sheng seems different.

Lin Xia found that when Zhang Sheng came to such a prosperous area, it was like a fish entering the sea, fluttering happily and happily, and introducing every shop in this bustling street to her.

under the light.

Lin Xia followed Zhang Sheng and silently walked through the crowd.

She was very curious in her heart, obviously Zhang Sheng was unfamiliar with this place, but somehow, Zhang Sheng seemed to have stayed here since he was a child, and he was so familiar with it that Lin Xia once had the illusion that Zhang Sheng could skillfully find every store even if he closed his eyes.

"Boss, let's have a little stir-fry."

"Okay, how many people? Hurry up and sit inside...... There's a box upstairs, do you want to go up? ”

"Okay!"

Zhang Sheng took Lin Xia into a small fried shop in Ganxi.

This world is very similar to the original world.

For example, stir-fry.

The original Jiangxi stir-fry in the world has spread all over the county towns all over the country, and the world's Jiangxi stir-fry has also swept the whole country.

Zhang Shengting likes to eat the world's Ganxi stir-fry, which is cheap and delicious, especially the sauerkraut fish, the sour and spicy taste, take a bite, and your tongue is dancing.

Lin Xia looked at the enthusiastic proprietress beckoning them to sit down, curiously looking at the decoration and full of people in Ganxi, and filled the storefront with all kinds of hustle and bustle.

She wasn't used to this kind of place......

The table top is dirty, the air is very muddy with alcohol and smoke, the sound of drinking, shouting, and noise is too harsh, and the dishes in the window are messy......

Especially when she walked in, she looked at her eyes and made her feel very uncomfortable.

She instinctively wanted to leave, but after glancing at Zhang Sheng, who was ordering, she gave up the idea for the time being.

OK......

There is a small box upstairs, which is at least a little quieter, although it is poorly soundproofed.

"It's your first time in a place like this, right?"

"I rarely came to ...... before"

"Oh, actually, I don't come much, I didn't come much before, and I rarely come now......"

"Oh."

Lin Xia only responded softly after listening to Zhang Sheng's almost nonsense response, and then sat on the chair and looked at the tableware in a daze.

The unfamiliar place made her feel extraordinarily restrained.

At the same time, I don't know why, I always feel a little out of breath when I eat with Zhang Sheng this time.

"Does Lin Xia drink?"

"I don't drink it."

"Oh, actually, in addition to expressing my gratitude to you today, there is also ......"

"What?"

“……”

Zhang Sheng, who has always been very extroverted, and even extroverted to the point of social bull, suddenly began to become restrained at this moment.

He swallowed the words as soon as he spoke, and then he looked at the window and became very silent.

Lin Xia glanced up at Zhang Sheng slightly, and found that Zhang Sheng's eyes were full of a thousand emotions, which were so complicated that people's hearts were entangled.

Such as......

Suddenly it's like a different person.

After a long time, Zhang Sheng sighed faintly, and his eyes gradually reddened.

"I want to tell a story, Lin Xia, can you listen to it?"

"You speak."

Lin Xia looked at Zhang Sheng, and she felt that the atmosphere around her changed from stiff and embarrassed to suddenly become a little low.

She subconsciously sat up straight.

"I used to have a very happy childhood, my parents treated me very well, although I was in the countryside, they were never willing to let me suffer a little loss, they got up early and stayed up late in the hope that I could go to college......"

"I have been doing very well in my studies since I was a child, and I was admitted to a good junior high school in the county, and then I was admitted to the best key middle school in Canghai District with the first place in the class, and entered the rocket class, although my grades in the rocket class are not outstanding, but if I don't miss the horse, I will probably ......"

"One day in my junior year of high school, my father jumped off a building...... Not long after, my mother went insane and jumped along! ”

"I saw my father's body, the whole person was like minced meat, the bones were misplaced and broken, I saw the body of my mother, unrecognizable, blood all over the ground......"

"I watched as those relatives who used to be so kind to me were cremated and turned into two boxes of ashes......"

"I thought it was all over, but I didn't think it was all just the beginning......"

"The debts are high, my relatives avoid me like a plague god, debt collectors chase me into my house, smash these things, smash those things, the court seized my home, even the last habitat was seized, at the same time, I somehow became an old man, my parents when I was eighteen years old and adult, I borrowed a large amount of money from my ID card, this money, said it was a student loan, as a result, I borrowed other things and cashed out...... Then, for some inexplicable reason, I stupidly listened to other uncles and aunts who said that I wanted to keep a memory, and inherited my parents' house, and then, I also inherited the loan ......"

“……”

Zhang Sheng's voice became deeper and lower, and when he talked about the tragic situation, the whole room was filled with an atmosphere of depression and despair.

For a moment, Lin Xia felt something choked in his throat, wanted to vomit, but couldn't vomit, it was dry and sour, and after drinking a glass of boiled water, this feeling was not suppressed.

During the most critical period of the third year of high school, Zhang Sheng began to become dispensable in the class, and even had no sense of existence.

Although I came to class every day, I was in a trance, and I was obviously an eighteen-year-old young man, but I shrunk into a ball, as if I was separated from the whole class.

Lin Xia, who was studying seriously and preparing for the exam at that time, was naturally distracted, obviously he was at the same table, but he paid little attention, and over time, Zhang Sheng was like air in front of Lin Xia's eyes......

Now that I think about it, that time should be the most painful time for Zhang Sheng?

"I, in this world, have no other relatives, and even, there is no credible person......"

"But I always told myself that I had to live ......"

"Like a piece of grass, even if no one cares, I have to live, live well, and live with a dead face......"

Zhang Sheng said to himself, as if he was tearing out the scars bit by bit.

And then......

It's bloody!

Although Lin Xia endured it, his eyes were already slightly red, especially when Zhang Sheng said that there were no other relatives in this world, Lin Xia finally couldn't help but lower his head and wiped the tears that came out of his eyes with a napkin.

In fact, she has always wanted to hear Zhang Sheng's story.

Before listening to the story, she only knew that Zhang Sheng was in debt of more than two million and that life was very difficult, but when Zhang Sheng began to tell the story, Lin Xia felt that she was completely wrong.

It's a story that's both sad and shocking.

At this age when everyone is facing the sun, they just fell into the darkness and into the endless abyss, which is so cold that people shiver.

"Then, I met you......"

"You are as bright as a white moonlight......"

"You are also one of the few people who are willing to lend me money......

"This is a kind of trust, maybe just a sympathy for ordinary classmates, for people like me in the abyss, this trust is a light, a light that supports me to move forward!"

"When I was waiting in the corridor today, I thought about it for a long time, and finally, with the attitude of giving it a try, I asked you out."

After Zhang Sheng finished speaking, he blew his nose silently with a napkin, and stared at Lin Xia seriously.

Lin Xia tried to stabilize his emotions, and finally looked up at Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng's gaze seemed to have a flame, but it was not hot, and at the same time it was sincere, which was a kind of longing and pleading in his bones.

Lin Xia couldn't stand such a gaze and subconsciously avoided it.

"I will succeed, I will earn my college tuition, and I will pay off more than two million debts in the future, but for now, I can only turn to you for help......"

"I can't get my own bank card, after I use my ID card to get a bank card, the money I earn in it will be deducted immediately, and after the deduction, I can't afford to pay the college tuition......"

"Lin Xia, if you trust me, can you use your ID card to help me get a bank card, I will use this card to make money from my business, if it is not convenient, the bank card can be placed here with you, as long as I go to college, you can help me take out the tuition and living expenses, and ......give it to me in cash."

"When I go to college, when everything is stable for me, I will slowly continue to pay off my own debts......"

"I, in this world, I thought about it, maybe the only person I can trust is you!"

“……”

in the room.

Lin Xia listened to all this, and somehow her tears couldn't be controlled again.

She nodded.

The corners of his mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but finally he didn't say anything more.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Good!"

Lin Xia got up and walked towards the bathroom.

In the bathroom, she looked at herself in the mirror and washed it with water.

At this moment, her emotions were extremely chaotic, and the uncomfortable feeling made her unable to breathe.

It took her a long time to recover.

When she returned to the box, she found that the food had been served in the box, but Zhang Shengren was gone.

She subconsciously went downstairs to find Zhang Sheng.

found that Zhang Sheng didn't know when he appeared in the kitchen, which was making the proprietress of Ganxi laugh.

Subsequently......

She saw Zhang Sheng take out the contract of [Senran Integrated Stove].

"Sister, sign this contract...... You need this contract! ”

"Okay, okay, sister, sister, oh, you young man...... I've come to the door so many times, I wonder if my gas stove was secretly broken by you......"

"How is it possible, sister, am I the kind of despicable villain who spoils your stove for the sake of business?"

"Hey, who knows, you're a person with an oily tone, my sister can see a lot, haha......"
