Chao Ci and Zhao Luojing went upstairs, and neither of them bothered He Lu anymore.

The place where Zhao Luojing lived was very small, which reminded Chao Ci of his former small rental house worth 1,500 yuan.

The place where Chao Ci works is in a relatively central location in City S. Even if he rents a house, he can't rent it too far away, otherwise commuting every day will become a hassle. Therefore, the place he rents only has a monthly salary of 1,150 yuan.

Square meters, pitifully small, even smaller than the place where Zhao Luojing lives.

However, the place where Zhao Luojing lives is not central, so the rental price here is not that high. Chao Ci had heard Zhao Luojing say before that this rental house of more than 20 square meters only costs 900 a month.

In fact, Zhao Luojing's salary is not low. City S is a first-tier big city. Even if a student is looking for a summer job, the monthly salary is 4,000. Zhao Luojing works in a milk tea shop, and the monthly salary is about 5,500, plus she often takes on some translators.

Extra money, usually more than 7,000 yuan a month.

But she is also very frugal in life. She rents a small room worth 900 yuan. She rarely buys clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics on weekdays. She doesn't even have a strong appetite for food. In S City, a place with astonishing prices, she only spends 900 yuan a month.

It cost less than three thousand, and the rest was saved.

Zhao Luojing, who had just come out of Wanxiang, was just a habitual thrifter. Looking at the amount slowly accumulated in her card gave her a sense of peace of mind. Money is nothing, but money can also make her nothing. The delusion does not belong to her.

Money will be lost forever, but earning the money you deserve can make you more and more confident.

In Wanxiang's six months, she did get a complete new life.

But after meeting Chao Ci, her almost instinctive thrift gained another more important reason. She was going to marry Chao Ci, but she knew clearly that her parents would not contribute a penny and would only want

They squeezed out hundreds of thousands of betrothal gifts from Chao Ci - which was already a large amount of money for them - to achieve their ultimate goal of raising a daughter.

But she couldn't just let herself marry Chaoci with nothing. Chaoci already had a car and a house, so maybe she didn't need to buy anything else, and with just one or two years of work, she couldn't afford to buy a car.

Buy a house. But at least, she can't let Chao Ci bear the cost of their wedding banquet.

With such a plan, Zhao Luojing became more motivated when saving money.

Chao Ci didn't know what Zhao Luojing was thinking. He vaguely knew that although Zhao Luojing's income was not high, it was not low either. As a girl, she shouldn't have much money to spend, but the place she rents now is small and old.

, if it were any other girl who had just started working, she would never have wronged herself so much.

Walking in is the bedroom, which is a bit embarrassing for a grown man. You can see some kitchen utensils on the balcony, which should be used as a kitchen. Fortunately, there is a separate bathroom in the room. For girls,

It saves a lot of inconvenience. And although the place is small, it is kept very tidy.

There was only one table in the bedroom, so Zhao Luojing moved a chair out for Chao Ci to do. She also sat down and said to Chao Ci, "My place is very small. I let Chao Ci suffer the injustice together with me."

"It's okay." Chao Ci waved his hand, "I've lived in places smaller than this, and it's difficult to work in a big city."

Zhao Luojing forced a smile and did not continue to struggle with this topic.

She was currently completely focused on the embarrassing incident exposed by He Lu, and it was not easy to think of other things.

She was a little nervous, so she stood up and poured a cup of hot water for Chao Ci and herself. She held the hot water in her hands, and the hot temperature seemed to give her a little courage. She took a deep breath, just like Chao Ci said those things.

She was born in a rural area and came to S city to study at university. She was fascinated by the prosperity and comparison. She fell into a bottomless pit after taking out informal loans. She had no choice but to drop out of school and buy Wanxiang. After half a year, she spent all her money and left there.

In just a few words, Zhao Luojing experienced an earth-shaking life.

She spoke for about ten minutes, and Chao Ci did not interrupt her.

After Zhao Luojing finished telling all about the past, she said to Chao Ci with red eyes: "I'm sorry, Brother Chao Ci. I hid this... Thank you for being so good to me these days. I will pay back the money you spent on me."

your."

She knew that no man could accept that his wife had been a prostitute, let alone that Chao Ci had been kept in the dark by her from beginning to end.

At this time, her heart ached. After coming out of Wanxiang, she no longer had any illusions or expectations about love. She knew how futile it was. She had no illusions about getting it, she just hoped to find someone to live her life peacefully.

But now she realized that she was not just trying to make do with Chao Ci for the rest of her life.

It's completely different... But what's the use of talking about it now?

She lowered her head, uncontrollable tears bursting out.

But not long after, there was a soft and warm touch on my head.

She looked up and saw Chao Ci rubbing her hair.

"Don't think too much, my parents are still waiting to take you back to show them the Mid-Autumn Festival this year," Chao Ci said.

Zhao Luojing looked at Chao Ci in shock, her lips trembling: "You don't, don't..." Don't you mind?

Are you still willing to be with me?

"You are a good girl. Of course you have the right to start a new life."

He said.

Chao Ci does not have an outstanding appearance, but he has good facial features, fair skin, and looks somewhat handsome. But in front of Zhao Luojing, he can only look ordinary.

But at this time, he slightly bent his eyes, and his brown pupils reflected the faint light of the light.

This man is anything but ordinary.

There is no one like him in the world.

Zhao Luojing's heart was filled with emotions that were difficult to identify and too beautiful. She couldn't help but feel a sore nose and tears filled her eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying again?" Chao Ci had no choice but to take out a tissue and wipe Zhao Luojing clean.

He changed the subject, trying to make Zhao Luojing happy: "Did you just say that you dropped out of school?"

"Yeah." Zhao Luojing nodded.

"Are you going through the formalities of suspending school or withdrawing from school?" Chao Ci asked.

"It's a break from school." Zhao Luojing replied.

Even though the money she borrowed at that time had already accrued to millions, she was determined to go to Wanxiang. She never thought that she would be able to go back to school. However, with the hope that was out of the ordinary, she still chose to go to Wanxiang.

Completed the suspension of study procedures.

Leave yourself the last glimmer of hope, even if it is too slim to imagine. But if it does come, and you completely cut off your escape, wouldn't you regret it?

"Since you are on leave, why don't you go back to school?" Chao Ci asked doubtfully.

"My parents didn't want me to go to college at first. I begged them for a long time before they reluctantly agreed. Later, they didn't know what happened. They only knew that I suddenly dropped out of school. After I came out of there, they were no longer willing to let me study.

, I just want to find someone to marry here in City S."

"My annual tuition fees are 8,000, and accommodation fees are 2,000. In addition, prices here are too high, and my schoolwork is tight... I don't have time to do part-time work. Even with a student loan, I can't support it." Zhao Luojing

Said with a wry smile.

The maximum limit of the student loan is 8,000 per year, and it will be gone after paying the tuition. In school, she can only do extra money at most, and the free time in school is not as much as the time after get off work. She earns The money is not even enough for living expenses.

In addition, Zhao Luojing, who came out of Wanxiang and seemed to be a world away from her former self, did not dare to expect to return to the ivory tower she once was. Her parents forced her to get married, and she also felt that... this was fine.

"How can this work?" Chao Ci frowned.

Zhao Luojing's school is pretty good. Although it is not comparable to He Lu's F University, it is still a good school. One can imagine how much effort Zhao Luojing, who was born in the countryside, put in for this. How could he just give up?

In addition, going to college itself means a turning point. For Zhao Luojing, it may mean a completely different life.

"You go back to study, I will take care of the money matter." Chao Ci decided.

Zhao Luojing's eyes widened: "How is this possible?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. You finally got into college, but others can't get into it. You can't give up like that," Chao Ci said.

It's a blessing that Chao Ci didn't break up with her, so how could she still let Chao Ci pay for her tuition?

Zhao Luojing couldn't help but refuse, but she couldn't stand Chao Ci's insistence, perhaps because of the hidden extravagance in her heart... She finally agreed.

She needs to apply for student loans, strive for scholarships, and find time to work part-time... In this way, Chao Ci will not spend too much money on her. When she graduates, she will definitely give it to Chao Ci.

As if he had seen through Zhao Luojing's thoughts, Chao Ci added: "Don't go part-time. If you focus on part-time work in college, it will be difficult to do well in your studies. Just make more friends in college and communicate with teachers more. This will help."

The future is the best."

Chao Ci knew this kind of thing all too well. He had been thinking about working part-time in college, and his grades had been hovering in the middle. Although his school was only average in S city, the top students in the school were doing well.

Much better than him. You can go to a top 2 school for graduate school, or even go abroad for free, or you can be recruited into a big company right after graduation.

University is another.

…………

Only when you are about to lose something will you recognize its importance and true value to yourself. This principle is true for any person or thing.

That night, He Lu stood under the dilapidated floor and watched Chao Ci help the woman up the steps and close the door.

Then, the lights on the fourth floor windows came on.

He just stood there and looked at it.

He obviously couldn't hear anything, but he stared at other people's windows like a pervert, imagining in his mind what the woman would say to Chao Ci.

That bitch will definitely pretend to be pitiful and complain to Chao Ci.

But Chao Ci wouldn't believe it, he thought.

Chao Ci didn't even forgive himself and never had a good face. Why would he forgive this bitch?!

He was so determined.

It was already late at night, and this was an old residential area, and everything was quiet.

When he vaguely heard footsteps coming from the corridor, he quickly returned to his car and drove into another more hidden corner.

He saw the door open, and the figure coming out was clearly Chao Ci.

Chao Ci walked out first, and then the woman followed him.

There seemed to be no excessive emotions between the two of them, and the woman seemed very happy. This was completely different from the cold atmosphere in the restaurant when he told Chao Ci the truth.

He Lu couldn't help but frown, feeling a little uneasy.

The two said a few words, probably saying goodbye, and then the woman actually hugged Chao Ci!

He Lu's face suddenly darkened, and his expression became extremely horrifying.

Under his unwavering gaze, Chao Ci hugged Zhao Luojing back.

They didn't break up... Chao Ci forgave the woman.

How can it be?!

He Lu gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, so hard that he almost crushed it.

Why is Chao Ci still willing to be with a bitch who is ridden by thousands of people?!

Chao Ci naturally wouldn't tell him the answer. He got in the car, waved to Zhao Luojing and left.

Only the car in the corner is left.

The owner was sitting in the driver's seat, his eyes so dark that they seemed to blend into the night.

Chao Ci can accept that bitch, why can't he accept him?

He had given up on Chao Ci before, but he never thought that Chao Ci would fall in love with someone else.

How could anyone really like such an ordinary, unremarkable, and even useless man in the eyes of others? He should be waiting for him where he is.

Even if Chao Ci wants to get married one day, it won't be now, but in a future that He Lu hasn't considered yet.

How could he have imagined that in just a few months, Chao Ci not only completely got rid of their relationship, but also fell in love with someone else.

At this time, even if he couldn't find the so-called love, he could still feel the huge unwillingness, jealousy... and pain in his heart.
