Shang Shuze didn't know what the woman beside him had experienced in the past. But he was worried about her. This was a fact.
Because I'm worried, I don't want her to be helpless and lonely at night like this. Stay with her and at least give her a little light. A little. A little...
When they were sitting in the car, neither of them spoke to each other. The atmosphere was very subtle. The sound of the steering wheel being turned could be heard in the cramped car.
It was not very early at this time. After putting Yuan Qian at the door of her house, Shang Shuze also got out of the car. The girl looked full of despair. Shang Shuze had guessed that her trip was A bad start.
"Qian Qian, do you want to borrow money from me?" Shang Shuze asked casually, following Yuan Qian into the house.
Yuan Qian's body suddenly became stiff. Shang Shuze didn't explain anything to her. He just said: "If it's not easy to mobilize at the school, it would be great to borrow from me. I'm not a rich man after all. .A few hundred thousand is more than enough to get it. Secondly, I don’t need you to pay it back right away. Just pay me back when you save up the money later. Thirdly, I won’t charge you any interest. It’s much more cost-effective than a bank loan. And It’s hard to get a loan from the bank.”
Having said this, Shang Shuze doesn't think there is any need to persuade Yuan Qian to accept his kindness. He can be nice to a person, and the other person can refuse. As for giving money directly... Heh, he feels it is a bit insulting to others. self-esteem. So he didn’t say give, only say borrow.
Yuan Qian's shoulders shrugged slightly. Her long hair hung down to her chest, hiding the sparkle in her eyes at a certain moment. When she raised her head again, she turned around and looked into Shang Shuze's eyes. Every word is very solemn. "Instructor, I will pay it back. I will."
"I believe it." The corners of Shang Shuze's lips curled up into a smile for no apparent reason. There was a little bit of joy and a little pride. She didn't even know what she was happy about. Maybe it was because at such a moment, she Instead of pushing him away, I chose to accept it.
After finishing speaking, Shang Shuze did not delay. He vowed to deposit the money into Yuan Qian's account early tomorrow morning. Perhaps it was because he had temporarily solved the problem of financial constraints. Yuan Qian became a little more cheerful. He also said that he was going to give Shang Qian money. Shuze makes a midnight snack.
Two bowls of vermicelli noodles were placed on the table. The aroma was lingering. Shang Shuze was not polite. He took the chopsticks and started to eat. Yuan Qian had not eaten dinner. He was also hungry at this time because it was late. There were no shops selling it at this time. Yuan Qian only fried one egg for each of the meat and vegetables and put it on top of the rice noodles. It was golden and delicious and very tempting. After taking a bite, some golden yolks came out from the center of the medium-cooked omelette. The taste is outstanding.
The little girl's craftsmanship was really good. Shang Shuze laughed in his heart. He quickly finished the bowl of rice noodles.
"I'm going back first. Qianqian. Go to bed early. I heard that your school will have a masquerade party tomorrow night. Will you... go?" I don't know why he suddenly thought of this. Shang Shuze's leopard eyes were filled with emotion. A bit of gentleness and tenderness. It is really precious.
Yuan Qian opened her mouth, then quickly shook her head. She answered softly, but Shang Shuze still listened. "Instructor, I never participate in that kind of activity."
Shang Shuze seemed to want to say something, but in the end he chose silence and stood up. He walked in front, and Yuan Qian followed him obediently.
"Go in. I'll ask you to close the door before leaving. Don't think too much. Everything will be fine tomorrow." After Shang Shuze finished speaking, he took two steps back. When he saw Yuan Qian, he nodded slightly at him, his pink lips squinting. He mouthed "Good night".
Yuan Qian closed the shop and rubbed her body with her hands before going to take a bath. Her home was not luxurious and she only used a simple shower. As for a bathtub, neither mother nor daughter needed it.
When she came out of the bathroom, she was wearing pajamas. Yuan Qian walked back to her small room and sat on the bed. Her thoughts stopped for a moment. Her body suddenly became tired. People always do this. When they are busy, they don't know what year it is. When they stopped, Only then did I realize that my whole body was sore and numb.
Yingying Jian's eyes took a rough look at her home. When her eyes reached the locked grid at the bottom of the table, Yuan Qian closed her eyes and felt a little sad. She walked on her bare pink feet. When I got to the grid, I finally found the key after several searches.
How long has it been since she opened this place? Yuan Qian doesn't know. She only knows that some things have never gone far away, and some things from the past are so vivid in her memory.
It is a photo album. There is only one photo in the album. The handsome and sunny boy holds the hand of the woman next to him. The phoenix flowers above the two of them are as bright as fire. They are burning. The place is warm.
Her thin white fingertips touched the man's handsome face. At that time, Ah Shi was such an excellent and good student. But unfortunately, he met such a bad girl like her.
Yuan Qian sat on the ground holding the photo album for an unknown amount of time. There was an old-fashioned wall clock hanging downstairs at home. It was the kind that would ring every half an hour. It was very quaint. Until the bell struck twelve times. Yuan Qian I knew it was time for her to sleep, but she was so reluctant to put this photo down.
Taking out the photo, Yuan Qian walked to the bedside. The photo was placed on another pillow. Yuan Qian also covered it with a small quilt. She behaved cautiously, as if she was afraid of hurting this beautiful moment. .
Ah Shi...
Turning off the light, Yuan Qian turned sideways and put one hand on the small sheet in the photo. She was obviously very tired, but now she couldn't fall asleep. Yuan Qian opened her eyes in the darkness, feeling the long night alone. The endless loneliness inside.
I don't know when the pillow next to her cheek became wet. Yuan Qian thought of many things. In the end, the memory was fixed on the tree-lined avenue of the campus at that time. He watched her running closer with a smile.
She once thought that man was like the wind. He would not stop for anyone. In fact, when they first met, he was clearly polite and distant to everyone. But later, why did they get so close.
Yuan Qian felt that she was stupid. She couldn't understand many things. Rourou's forehead only felt a little pain. Once upon a time, there was a person who always liked to say that she was stupid. In fact, Yuan Qian also thought about it. She was very stupid. It was true.
She is not smart enough, but he is very powerful. He can tell her all kinds of questions. But she always stares at his profile when he is serious and focused, completely ignoring what he just said. Every time In the end, he sighed helplessly: "Qianqian. What am I going to do to you?"
He asked her to be more attentive and go to the same university as him in the future. Every time she heard this, she always pouted her lips and made a tangled look. Later, he no longer asked her like this. He only said: "Qian Just take responsibility and be happy. I'll take care of the rest."
But in the end, he left her... Yuan Qian didn't know where she got so much sentimentality. But at this moment, she curled up like this. Her tears seemed to flow to the end of the world.
It was late at night, the stars were pale, and the silvery and cold moonlight seemed to be mostly coated with a layer of frost.
The air is chilly.
Shang Shuze and Cai Liang got wine and chatted there all night. Cai Liang told his own story. For a moment, the only thing in the huge living room was his rich voice and the sound of the wine entering his intestines. .
"Don't mention it yet, business instructor. I really haven't told anyone else about this. You know, I was pretty naughty when I was in college. As for things like love, I think it's good to try something new. . Later, I dated several girlfriends on and off. None of them lasted long. It wasn’t until the semester I was about to graduate that I met a little girl. Well, a sophomore girl from elementary school.”
After Cai Liang said this, he couldn't help but curse. After all, it is wine that can arouse people's temperament. At this time, even the rich and powerful men can't help but complain. "I feel that I am so fucking mean. I, Cai Liang, have never been like this." I have been so obsessed with any girl. But in the end, the girl found a new partner without saying a word and broke up with me. Ha, broke up. Later I heard people say that her next partner has money. Well, at least I was much richer than I was at that time. The woman came from a poor family. It was understandable that she wanted to fly on a branch. But at that time, I stupidly told her that we had something to discuss. There was no need to get into such a tense situation. As a result, the woman sent me away with the words "We are not suitable". Women, what the heck, each one is more unreliable than the other..."
After that, he poured water again. Cai Liang fell asleep soon. The light in the living room was a bit dazzling. Shang Shuze staggered, but he still struggled to get up. Then he switched on the power of the lamp. Relatively low energy-saving lamps.
That night, some people fell asleep drunkenly, and some shed tears until they dried up. Xia Yiyang stood at the window and looked at the wind and rain outside the house from time to time. He became even more uncertain.
Damn it. He cursed and fell back onto the bed.
"Yuan Qian. Qian Qian...I remember you."
The first day of October. This time is originally a legal holiday. However, because Han University’s freshman masquerade is held tonight, excluding some who are really not interested in the dance, most students will have this day. I still chose to stay in school.
Yuan Qian went back to school for a few classes. She had taken Yuan Xueqin out of the hospital at noon today. The doctor said that the latter's condition was still stable and there was no need to worry too much. That's why Yuan Qian went to court at her mother's repeated urging. School is here. Before leaving, he reminded Aunt Wu to call her if she had any questions. It wasn't until the other party couldn't help laughing and scolding her that Yuan Qian left with her bag on her back.
I called my mother in the evening. On the other end of the phone, Yuan Xueqin was obviously in good spirits.
When Yuan Qian hung up the phone, she felt a little relieved. When she turned around, she saw that her roommate was playing with a set of wizard cloaks. Even the wizard hat was ready.
"Qianqian. Have you prepared any costumes? It's your junior year. I remember you haven't even attended a masquerade." It was He Zhiwei who spoke.
