Chapter 18: Two Paths

On the streets of Beijing in the middle of the night, the people of the Qingya Literary Society staggered together, and from time to time someone recited an inexplicable poem loudly, which attracted the attention of passers-by.

The drunken poet is unrestrained and free, so he doesn't care what others think!

Lu Jingyao also drank wine today, her mind was dizzy, and she walked on both legs, but she was not happy at all in her heart.

Today's dinner party did not have her turn to pay the bill in the end, but it was more uncomfortable than paying the bill herself.

Originally, she planned to borrow it from He Xue and a few other classmates who had a good relationship, and ruthlessly scraped together the money to pay the bill, but He Xue "accidentally" leaked the news.

Qian Shun of the Literature Club immediately settled the account generously, and also took Lu Jingyao's hand and said a lot of comforting words.

"They are all sisters of their own family, if there are any difficulties in the future, just open your mouth, money is something outside the body, and friendship can last for a long time......."

Qian Shun's words were very sincere and emotional, but Lu Jingyao at that time only felt the rubbing on the palm of his hand, only saw the heat in Qian Shun's eyes, and only smelled his mouth full of unpleasant wine.

The disgusting Lu Jingyao made it clear on the spot that this money was borrowed by her and would definitely be repaid in the future.

But He Xue and the others took the opportunity to coax and asked Lu Jingyao with a smile, "What do you take?" Just make a personal promise.

Later, Lu Jingyao almost left on the spot, and everyone calmed down and said that it was just "just joking".

But Lu Jingyao had secretly decided to pay off Qian Shun's money as soon as possible and not have more to do with him.

But what was afraid of something, when everyone returned to the School of Foreign Languages and was about to break up and go back to the dormitory, Qian Shun stopped Lu Jingyao.

"Jing Yao, come and walk with me!"

“..........”

In the middle of the night in the 80s, a man and a woman went out for a walk, which was basically equivalent to falling in love.

You must know that at that time there was a word called "pressing the road", which specifically referred to the intimate act between couples.

Of course, Lu Jingyao will not be in the trap, she can be sure that she will "walk around" with Qian Shun tonight, and tomorrow the school will spread rumors that the two are a couple.

In this age of fearful words, what is false may soon become true.

"Still no, Senior Brother Qian, it's late now, it's not very convenient."

Lu Jingyao refused Qian Shun without humility or arrogance, turned around and walked in the direction of the girls' dormitory building.

But Qian Shun caught up and said: "Jing Yao, don't think too much, I just have a lot of inspiration at this time, and I hope to find someone to discuss together.

And you are the most gifted of us, and only you are qualified to resonate with me spiritually........"

Lu Jingyao walked quickly, and Qian Shun was also in a hurry, and the two arrived at the downstairs of the girls' dormitory one after the other, and Qian Shun did not give up.

Just kidding, it's thirty bucks!

It took a worker's salary for a month, and he couldn't even hold his little hand, and it was over with a bubble? Is he Qian Shun a fool?

Qian Shun is not a fool, but Lu Jingyao is not a fool either.

Every girl who has been beautiful since she was a child, how can she be harassed several times when she grows up, like Qian Shun, who is so straightforward and eager, Lu Jingyao can see through his lustful intentions at a glance.

She said sternly: "I'm really sorry Senior Qian, I have no interest in being alone with you, as for the money I owe you, I will definitely pay it off next month." ”

“.........”

Qian Shun was stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Lu Jingyao, who looked soft and deceitful on weekdays, would be so reckless.

Just looking at her current attitude, she almost shouted "You scoundrel get away".

Qian Shun's face turned from red to black, and gradually became hideous.

"Pay it off next month? How do you pay it off? Hungry for a month? ”

"Do you really think you're valuable? Did you know that it was I who cleared up the relationship between the school magazine and got your work published? ”

"You are a girl from the countryside, do you know how precious the kindness of a person from the capital is? Do you know how inoffensive the self-esteem of a person in Beijing is......."

Under the stimulation of alcohol, Qian Shun finally couldn't help but pour out the irritability in his heart, and he was out of control.

Lu Jingyao first took a few steps back in fright, and then quickly turned around and fled to the girls' dormitory building in embarrassment.

She was afraid that if she took a step slower, the drunkard would pounce on her like a hungry wolf.

Lu Jingyao ran all the way into the dormitory, and the fear in her heart gradually disappeared, replaced by more and more intense resentment and grievances.

"Money money money money, why is it always money? Am I going to be bound by money all my life and lose my freedom? ”

Lu Jingyao shed tears aggrievedly.

For as long as she can remember, her family has been plagued by "money".

Dad is just a private teacher who graduated from high school, and with that little salary per month, it is really difficult to maintain a family of five.

If it weren't for his father's tenacious dedication to education, Lu Jingyao, a "money-loser", would have dropped out of school after finishing junior high school.

No matter how much high school students save a year, it will cost dozens of yuan, which is a very big burden for the poor Lu family.

But last winter, my house collapsed due to heavy snow, and my mother's lung disease also recurred, and I felt that I really couldn't get over that hurdle, if it weren't for Li Ye........

Thinking of this, Lu Jingyao's whole person suddenly shook and almost fell.

Li Ye at the beginning was very similar to Qian Shun.

He also has a solid family, there is never a shortage of pocket money in his pocket, and he also expressed his admiration for Lu Jingyao.

But Li Ye is not Lu Jingyao's ideal Prince Charming,

He doesn't know poetry, he doesn't understand literature, he doesn't study well, and he always smirks at her, the kind of hairy boy's youthfulness always makes Lu Jingyao feel embarrassed.

It can be said that Li Ye is nothing but tall and handsome.

But when the Li family came to the door with one hundred and twenty yuan and a small half-car bride price, Lu Jingyao reluctantly accepted the reality.

The roof of the house has been renewed, his mother's lung disease has been cured, and the pocket money in Li Ye's pocket has swept away the haze of the poor Lu family for many years, full of laughter.

During that time, Lu Jingyao felt both happy and depressed, and she didn't know what kind of family status she would fall into if she "owed huge debts" in the future.

Is he like a vine in poetry, who can only grow by clinging to a big tree, and become a vassal of the big tree for life?

But the turnaround still appeared.

In that period of more than a year, Lu Jingyao no longer needed to frequently skip school and go home to help her mother work, and she also hired an English teacher for extracurricular tutoring, and her academic performance improved by leaps and bounds, and she was finally admitted to university.

And Li Ye is still the handsome guy who smirks and learns in general.

When she got the university admission letter on the night, Lu Jingyao's father showed her two ways,

Knowing his daughter Mo Ruo's father, he didn't want to restrict his daughter's flying thoughts, so he gave the choice to Lu Jingyao.

One is to take the initiative to return to his hometown to work after graduating from college and live a stable life with Li Ye'an.

The other is the eagle striking the sky, rushing out of the cage, soaring freely into the sky, never coming back.

Lu Jingyao, who was a little inferior and depressed because of the wrong door, chose the latter.

The father silently agreed, went to the door to withdraw from the marriage, and carried everything.

When Lu Jingyao left Qinghe County, she felt that she had finally escaped from the sea of suffering.

But why is it another reincarnation when you get to college?

And compared to Li Ye, this Qian Shun is so disgusting?
