Chapter 22: You're Super Pretty
Ning Xin looked at the money in Sheng Yu's schoolbag, froze, and raised her eyes for a long time: "Where did you get the money?" β
"The salary, usually given to you, you don't want it, I have saved it." He said it so lightly and simply.
Ning Xin roughly calculated in his mind, after Sheng Yu's work became regular, his salary was nearly 10,000 yuan after deducting five insurances, one housing fund and taxes, and it has been five months now, which means that this is all he has after saving incomparably.
Ning Xin suddenly collapsed on this night.
She crouched down, buried her head and began to cry.
She had clearly prepared for the worst to make this money.
But he showed up and took all he had.
How is she going to pay it back?
How do you pay it back??
Not yet.
She felt like a bloodsucking worm, sucking everything he had.
She was very ashamed of him, just wrapped in a beautiful tin foil called 'love'.
She didn't deserve to love him at all.
Sheng Yu put down his schoolbag, hugged Ning Xin, and hugged her who was crying and her whole body was convulsive, her heart was twisting and aching.
Ning's mother was scheduled for surgery as soon as possible and recovered well after the operation.
At the end of December, Ning Xin was interviewed by the attending doctor.
Ning's mother is in good health for the time being, but after a professional psychological assessment, she has a slight depression.
The doctor said that family members do not need to be too anxious, and it is common for patients like Ning's mother to have this situation, and they need family members to accompany and care for them as much as possible.
After discussing with Sheng Yu, Ning Xin decided to pick up Ning's mother from the hospital every weekend.
Sheng Yu also found a new place for Ning Xin, a one-bedroom and one-bathroom room with basic appliances such as heating and refrigerators.
The address is relatively close to where he lives and Ning Xin's school, and a little farther away from the hospital, but fortunately, the transportation is convenient, and there is no need to transfer buses.
After Ning Xin moved over, her life went on in an orderly manner.
That night of collapse was deliberately hidden by Ning Xin and not to think about it.
On the last day of New Year's Day, Sheng Yu and Ning Xin sent Ning's mother back to the hospital together.
On the way home, suddenly snowflakes began to fall.
After getting off the bus, the two walked faster.
Sheng Yu hugged Ning Xin and exhaled a string of hot air: "Next weekend, our company's department will build a team, you can bring your family, are you okay?" β
When Ning Xin heard that she wanted to see Sheng Yu's colleague, she was a little awkward: "I, what am I going to do?" β
"Let them see my beautiful girlfriend." He said so.
Before Ning Xin could answer, Sheng Yu stopped and hugged Ning Xin tightly, facing each other.
The lower half of Ning Xin's face was covered by a scarf, and her peach blossom eyes looked very soft.
His warm eyes looked at her.
Ning Xin's heart melted and nodded: "Okay." β
Sheng Yu smiled, lowered his head and kissed her.
He kissed her scarf, pulled her scarf down, and put it on it.
When they arrived home that night, there was some snow on both of them.
Downstairs, Sheng Yu patted the snow on Ning Xin's head, and he said, "When you come to Huaiwu, will we live together?" β
Ning Xin didn't hesitate: "Okay." β
On the contrary, Sheng Yu paused for a moment, and then continued to pat her on the shoulder.
After realizing it, Ning Xin reacted to Sheng Yu's meaning.
She was a little afraid to look him in the eye.
But in my heart, I am happy, and even, I am looking forward to it.
In the second half of the night, it really snowed heavily.
Ning Xin went out to school in the morning and saw a little milk dog lying next to the security booth at the entrance of the underground parking lot.
But the location of this little milk dog is too dangerous, if the vehicle comes up from the underground garage, its position belongs to the driver's blind spot, and it is easy to be run over.
It stands to reason that Ning Xin should drive it out of the danger zone.
But she was afraid of dogs, so she didn't dare to get too close, and she didn't dare to get started.
Although, it's only the size of a small arm's length.
Ning Xin wanted to ask the security guard of the security booth to help, but there was no one at the security booth.
She plucked up her courage to come closer, kicked her foot, and the little milk dog looked up and opened her eyes.
Ning Xin was so frightened that she took a step back and waved her hand to drive it away.
But it was not afraid at all, closed its eyes and continued to sleep.
Ning Xin looked left and right, and finally took a broom from the door of the small shop that was closed next to him and slapped it.
She patted gently, and the little milk dog opened his eyes to look at her, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
At this time, a vehicle suddenly drove out of the underground garage, and Ning Xin hurriedly waved to stop the vehicle.
She poked the little milk dog with a broom, and the little milk dog turned over and rushed towards Ning Xin quickly.
Ning Xin jumped up in fright, but the little milk dog just ran towards her.
It wasn't until there was no trace of the little milk dog that Ning Xin breathed a sigh of relief, turned to the driver's embarrassed chin and left.
Ning Xin didn't take this matter to heart.
Two days later, Ning Xin found that the juniors and sisters in the team were talking about herself, but she still didn't pay attention to it.
In the end, it was Yang Xiaozhen who took the mobile phone to Ning Xin.
A video circulated on the Internet, titled "A beautiful woman hits a stray dog for no reason, human nature is evil".
The video content is only a dozen seconds, and it is Ning Xin who beats and pokes the little milk dog with a broom.
Yang Xiaozhen flipped through the comment area: "Ning Xin, what's going on?" β
Ning Xin briefly said the ins and outs.
Yang Xiaozhen hugged her mobile phone and was uneven: "How can these people pinch their heads and tails and don't understand what happened!" β
Ning Xin glanced at Yang Xiaozhen's mobile phone, scolded her very badly, and gave her the nickname 'Dog Girl'.
Yang Xiaozhen posted to help Ning Xin clarify, but she was quickly abused.
Ning Xin actually didn't take this matter to heart, she felt that those on the Internet were very illusory and did not affect her real life.
In the end, it was she who persuaded Yang Xiaozhen: "Those who are clear are self-purifying, those people don't know, don't care." β
On Friday afternoon, Ning Xin went to the hospital to pick up her mother.
Before returning home, they went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables.
Every weekend, Ning's mother makes a lot of delicious storage refrigerators for Ning Xin.
In front of a vegetable stall, Ning Xin met Sheng Yu's mother.
Sheng Yu and they live nearby, Ning Xin had thought about whether they would meet each other several times, but he didn't expect to meet them today.
Ning Xin immediately greeted: "Hello, Auntie." β
Sheng Yu's mother nodded, and then glanced at Ning's mother: "Is your mother feeling better?" β
Before Ning Xin could react, Ning's mother spoke first: "I'm much better, I don't need to take care of Xinxin now, I can take care of myself, I, I can still take care of Xinxin..."
Mother Ning raised the dish in her hand and proved, "I still cook for her." β
At that moment, Ning Xin not only felt her own humility, but also her mother's humility.
She felt a stab in her heart, and it hurt.
It's very helpless.
She gently took her mother's hand.
"That's good." Sheng Yu's mother smiled lightly, "I heard Xiao Yu say that you moved here." β
Ning Xin lowered her eyes slightly and apologized embarrassedly: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I haven't been looking at you." β
"It's fine." Sheng Yu's mother pointed behind her, "Then you continue to shop, I'll go home first, and I have to cook." β
Ning Xin nodded several times: "Goodbye, Auntie." β
Sheng Yu's mother nodded politely: "Hmm." β
After returning home, Ning's mother started to cook dinner, and Ning Xin started.
She turned off the faucet after washing the dishes, only to find her mother crying in a low voice.
She hurriedly wiped the water from her hands and went over: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" β
Ning's mother felt guilty and blamed herself: "His mother doesn't like you, right, because of me?" β
Ning Xin reacted immediately, she was talking about Sheng Yu's mother.
Ning Xin hurriedly comforted: "No, no, Mom, don't think about it." β
"Xinxin, don't hide it from me, I can see it. Actually, his mother is not wrong, they are both parents, I understand and understand. It's me, it's me who drags you down, and I also drags Sheng Yu down. The more Mother Ning spoke, the more excited she became, "Sheng Yu is a good boy, he is sincere to you, if there is no me, you must be very happy, as long as there is no me..."
"Mom!" Ning Xin interrupted very hard, she looked at her, and her tone was firm, "Mom, I can't live without you, I only have you and Sheng Yu, and I only have the two of you." β
Mother Ning wiped her tears with shame.
Ning Xin's tone was a little softer: "Mom, you are better now, you can take care of me, this is what you said, I need you very much." β
Mother Ning relieved her emotions at this time.
On Saturday morning, Ning Xin got up, and Ning's mother had already made breakfast.
Sheng Yu worked overtime today and called Ning Xin at noon.
Ning Xin's heart was warm.
That's the life she wants.
In the afternoon, Ning Xin went to make up lessons for He Dongfan.
On weekdays, when Ning Xin went to the study, He Dongfan was reading books or doing exercises.
But not today.
He was facing the door of the study, sitting at his desk like an uncle, obviously waiting for her.
Ning Xin was confused, she approached suspiciously, He Dongfan directly took out his mobile phone and put it in front of her, and asked her what was going on.
Ning Xin took a look, it was the web forum page.
She retracted her gaze disdainfully and asked, "What?" You think I'm hitting a puppy too? β
He Dongfan immediately retorted: "How can I think so!" You're not that kind of person! I'm asking you about the cause and effect, you see those people scolding so ugly! β
Ning Xin spread her hands: "You see, people who know me don't believe me, so those are inconsequential people." β
Later, under He Dongfan's questioning, Ning Xin told him the ins and outs of the matter.
At that time, the Internet had not yet fully penetrated into life, and the word 'cyberviolence' had not been concretized.
At that time, Ning Xin didn't know that what she said on the Internet would also have an impact on herself.
Early the next morning, Ning Xin came to make up for He Dongfan.
He Dongfan soon found that Ning Xin was very happy today, and the corners of his mouth kept smiling.
And she has a black band tied in a ponytail all the year round, and today she is actually draped, and she also has a rhinestone hairpin.
He Dongfan bit the pen: "Teacher Ning? β
"Huh?"
"You're going on a date with Brother Sheng Yu today?"
Ning Xin paused, straightened his posture, and diverted the topic: "You have solved this question wrong." β
"Huh." He Dongfan smiled speechlessly, meaningfully and indifferently.
Ning Xin saw that there was too much crappiness to change the topic, and she didn't hide it: "It's not a date, it's the team building of their company department, let me go to dinner together." β
He Dongfan didn't answer again.
In the afternoon, Ning Xin came to the agreed place according to the address given by Sheng Yu.
It is a very lively square with a newly opened mall next to it.
Sheng Yu was waiting for Ning Xin there early.
Ning Xin was a little uncomfortable, and straightened her hair: "Can I do this?" β
Sheng Yu hugged her and walked to the mall, praising her: "You are super beautiful!" Definitely the prettiest! β
Sheng Yu's department has a water bar, where you can watch curtain movies, play game consoles, and play billiards.
Ning Xin and Sheng Yu sat together, there was a crystal pot on the table, and in it was purple-red tea, which tasted sweet and sour.
Ning Xin felt that Sheng Yu was lying.
She's not pretty at all.
His female colleague is really beautiful.
Dress nicely, hair shines nicely, and makeup shines beautifully.
During this period, Sheng Yu went to the toilet.
Sheng Yu's colleague saw that Ning Xin's teacup was out of tea, and enthusiastically added it to her: "You are Sheng Yu's girlfriend?" β
Ning Xin hurriedly greeted: "Hello." β
The man quipped: "Your boyfriend Sheng Yu has a bright future." β
Of course, Ning Xin knew that Sheng Yu was excellent, but hearing praise from others was another feeling.
She thanked her, "Thank you." β
The colleague continued to talk nonsense: "Sheng Yu showed a talent, and as soon as he came to the company, he attracted a lot of female colleagues, but he said that he had a beautiful girlfriend, and when he saw him today, he was really beautiful." β
Ning Xin didn't know how to answer this, so she could only bow her head and thank you: "Thank you." β
A female colleague sitting next to her couldn't look at it: "Don't scare someone's little sister." β
The male colleague disagreed: "I'm telling the truth." β
He looked at Ning Xin again: "Did I scare you?" β
Ning Xin smiled awkwardly: "No." β
But her expression was already uncomfortable.
Male colleagues are interesting, and when they see people shy, they no longer ridicule.
Everyone was chatting, Ning Xin didn't know anyone, and she was a little bored, so she watched the movie next to her intently.
She watched and watched, and caught a glimpse of Sheng Yu's colleagues holding their mobile phones together, pointing to her in a low voice.
At first, she didn't pay attention to it until she heard the word 'dog beating'.
Something that she didn't mind all along suddenly made her heart pound.
She didn't dare to look at the people, her face getting redder and her head lowering.
She didn't insist anymore, and walked out of the water with her head down.
Ning Xin called Sheng Yu and said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go home.
Sheng Yu hurriedly asked her what was wrong and wanted to go to her.
Ning Xin said that it was just physiological pain, not tight.
Ning Xin took off the crystal hairpin in discouragement, carefully put it in her bag, and hurriedly walked out of the mall to the bus stop.
She didn't know if her 'bad news' would affect Sheng Yu.
She was too afraid to influence him badly.
She felt that she should not have come today.
When she went to the bus stop, Ning Xin passed by a large bookstore, and she suddenly remembered that He Dongfan wanted to buy a title book, which was only available in this bookstore.
She plans to go in and have a look, and if she has one, she will help He Dongfan buy it.
Ning Xin followed the instructions to the second floor of the bookstore, and could see the crowded street downstairs from the half-curved window.
The bookstore has a retro dΓ©cor, mahogany floors, wooden ceilings, copper chandeliers, and quaint bookshelves that are very atmospheric under the warm orange lighting.
Unlike the hustle and bustle outside, it's quiet.
You can hear the sound of footsteps on the wooden floor and the sound of flipping through books and papers, and you can't help but breathe less.
Ning Xin stood in front of the bookshelf, carefully looking for the question book.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow passing overhead.
Then the top of her head was tapped with a weightless force.
The shadow retracted.
Ning Xin raised her head slightly and saw He Dongfan, who was half a head taller than the bookshelf, standing opposite the bookshelf.
