His breath was warm and sprayed in her ears, making her feel itchy and numb. His tone was a bit teasing, deliberately teasing her. It was extremely inappropriate and made her angry.
Most of Sang Zhi's emotions dissipated in an instant, she raised her eyes and stared at him silently.
"Why don't you speak?" Duan Jiaxu straightened up, chuckled, and admitted proactively, "Okay, I know I'm talking nonsense."
"..."
Hearing this, Sang Zhi's lips tightened for a few seconds, but this time she couldn't help but laugh: "You don't admit it, don't you?"
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Isn't it really uncouth?"
Sang Zhi sniffed and didn't hit him: "It's okay."
She lowered her eyes, looked at the black wallet in her hand, and handed it back to him: "Give it back to you."
Duan Jiaxu didn't answer it. Instead, he put the card in his pocket and said, "I won't return this."
Sang Zhi whispered: "I didn't ask you to return it."
Duan Jiaxu then took out the card again, stared at it with his eyelashes lowered for a long time, suddenly laughed, and murmured: "I can still afford soft food at my age."
"..." Sang Zhi said, "I didn't let you spend this money carelessly."
"You gave it to me and you won't let me spend it?"
Sang Zhi looked at him: "You have to keep it."
Duan Jiaxu leisurely said: "Save it for your dowry?"
Sang Zhi was very serious: "Save money to buy a house."
"..."
"I looked online before and found that the down payment for a 100-square-meter building in the city center is about 500,000 yuan." Sang Zhi said, "...According to this progress, I should be able to save it in twenty years."
Duan Jiaxu was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud. His chin was slightly lowered, and his joyful mood was not restrained at all. His shoulders were shaking with laughter: "Okay, I'll wait for you to save."
"..."
Twenty years sounds a bit humble.
Sang Zhi thought for a moment and then said, "It shouldn't take that long."
Duan Jiaxu: "Well, my brother is waiting for you to hide your beauty in the golden house."
"..."
Being interrupted like this, Sang Zhi almost forgot the reason why she was in a bad mood. She touched his arm with the wallet and reminded: "It's yours."
Duan Jiaxu took it, drew two cards from it, and handed it to her: "Boss, your card."
Sang Zhi didn't take it: "Why did you give me the card?"
"I can't keep any money on me." Duan Jiaxu smiled, "Otherwise, how can I live on a soft diet?"
Sang Zhi couldn't help but say: "I spend money very lavishly."
"Then I'm pretty lucky," Duan Jiaxu drawled, "I found a generous sponsor."
"..." Sang Zhi only accepted one and put it carefully into her bag, "I don't need it, I'll keep it for you. If you want it, I'll give it back to you."
Seeing that her mood finally improved, Duan Jiaxu asked: "Aren't you having dinner with people from the company today? Why aren't you happy?"
All in all, this was the second time Jiang Ying came to see her. In addition, Sang Zhi was targeted in the past week, also because of Jiang Ying. She had no intention of resigning, and thought that Shi Xiaoyu would leave with her salary in a month.
Afraid of affecting Duan Jiaxu's mood, Sang Zhi did not confess: "It's a bit annoying to just take care of my master."
After sending Sang Zhi back to school, Duan Jiaxu drove back home. He drove into the community and slowed down. Before he reached the turning point, someone suddenly bumped into him.
Duan Jiaxu's eyes tightened and he subconsciously stopped the car. A cold sweat broke out on his back and his brain was dazed for a moment. Then he unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
The man who had just bumped into was half leaning in front of his car. He was obviously drunk and was not hit. He was mumbling something inaudible.
Duan Jiaxu took a deep breath and called out: "Sir?"
The man stood up straight, suddenly pointed at the wheel, and cursed: "Your car ran over my dog!"
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu glanced and did not see the "dog" he was talking about. He closed his eyes and before he could calm down, he said softly: "You are drunk, go sit next to it for a while.
"
"I'm not drunk!" The man was still a little unsteady on his feet and pointed at him drunkenly, "I said! Your car! It hit my dog! You have to pay for it!"
Hearing the commotion here, people started to gather around to watch.
Not long after, the security guard came over. After understanding the situation, he patiently tried to persuade the man to fight. But the man was completely irrational. When the security guard said, "Then pull the dog out," he replied angrily, "The dog's life will be saved."
It’s not life anymore.”
In the end, I had no choice but to call the police.
Duan Jiaxu returned to the car and watched the man making trouble outside casually.
He got away after the police came.
This fuss took half an hour.
After returning home, Duan Jiaxu opened the refrigerator, took a bottle of ice water and poured it into his mouth. The base of his tongue was stimulated to the point of numbness. It was as if there was a thread in his brain that was about to break if he pulled it.
Glancing at the various snacks inside, Duan Jiaxu pursed his lips and smoked a piece of chocolate.
He sat on the sofa, tore open the package and took a bite.
Extremely sweet taste.
Duan Jiaxu smoothly pulled out the card from his pocket. He stared at it for a while, then his brows relaxed and his peach blossom eyes turned down. The tense mood seemed to gradually dissipate.
After finishing the remaining chocolate, Duan Jiaxu took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom. When he came out, it was already close to eleven o'clock. By this time, Sang Zhi had already fallen asleep.
Duan Jiaxu didn't feel sleepy, so he took out his mobile phone and played games for a long time, and didn't lie down to sleep until one o'clock in the morning.
Then, he had a dream.
I dreamed that tonight, he drank at a party, but felt that he was not drunk, so he resolutely chose to drive home, and then bumped into the man just now on the road.
He also heard his own voice and heard himself trying to stop him.
The extremely desperate and hysterical voice seemed to pierce the eardrums.
However, in the dream, he still ran away.
Duan Jiaxu dreamed.
He became Duan Zhicheng.
…
That was probably the most chaotic night that Duan Jiaxu had ever experienced.
He was writing homework in his room, thinking that after finishing this, he would still have time to read comic books. Xu Ruoshu was watching TV in the living room, and he could still faintly hear her intermittent laughter.
It was an extremely peaceful night.
Until Duan Zhicheng comes back.
He was extremely reckless, with a strong and unpleasant smell of alcohol still exuding from his body, and his whole body was trembling. Faced with Xu Ruoshu's worried questions and attempts to comfort him, he just pushed away in a state of collapse.
Panic reached its peak.
This huge noise disturbed Duan Jiaxu and he could no longer do his homework. He stopped writing, stood up and walked out of the living room, asking: "Mom, what's going on?"
Xu Ruoshu gathered her shawl and said comfortingly: "It's okay, you can continue to do your homework."
"I'm done." However, Duan Zhicheng was not "ok" as she said. His eyes were red and he repeated these three words over and over again, "I'm done..."
Xu Ruoshu frowned and was frightened by his appearance: "What's going on? How did you come back after drinking like this? Didn't you ask Xiao Chen to see you off?"
"Myself..." Duan Zhicheng's throat sounded like he was choking, "I...I bumped into someone..."
"..."
The house immediately became quiet, and the only sound left was Duan Zhicheng's heavy breathing.
After a while, Xu Ruoshu came back to her senses and turned to look at Duan Jiaxu: "Axu, go back to the room." She quickly grabbed Duan Zhicheng's arm and forced herself to calm down: "Tell me carefully, what happened?"
Duan Zhicheng shouted at the top of his lungs: "I don't know!"
"Where did you hit it? Did you call an ambulance?" Xu Ruoshu's eyes were red and her voice trembled unconsciously, "Did you get out of the car and look at it?"
"On Renmin Road, next to the store..." Duan Zhicheng suddenly raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "What should I do... What should I do..."
Duan Jiaxu spoke at this time: "Dad, did you call an ambulance?"
Duan Zhicheng shook his head repeatedly, unable to hear anything: "Don't scream, no one will see that I hit him, no one will know... Don't worry about it! Don't -"
Xu Ruoshu also shouted: "Duan Zhicheng! Are you crazy!"
"..."
Duan Jiaxu's forehead twitched suddenly, and his palms became cold. He listened to his parents' quarrel, walked to the sofa in silence, picked up the phone, and started calling 120.
Sensing his move, Duan Zhicheng looked over: "What are you doing?!"
When the call was connected on the other end, Duan Jiaxu's eyes were red and he turned back to look directly at Duan Zhicheng: "Hospital? There is a store on Renmin Road. Someone had a car accident next door and there were injured people. Trouble..."
Duan Zhicheng seemed to be crazy and wanted to come over to grab his phone, but Xu Ruoshu stopped him.
"——Please send someone over as soon as possible, thank you." After finishing speaking, Duan Jiaxu hung up the phone and said one word at a time, "He needs to be saved."
"..."
"That person is not necessarily dead, why don't you save him?" The image of his father collapsed in an instant. The muscles on Duan Jiaxu's face tightened, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Why did you run?"
Xu Ruoshu protected Duan Jiaxu behind her and said seriously: "Go and surrender."
"..."
"Admit your mistake and atone." Xu Ruoshu's voice was full of tears when she encountered such a big thing for the first time, "You have done something wrong, and you have to make up for it. This is what you should do, and you should not escape."
"..." Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Duan Zhicheng was still shaking his head. His whole face was red and sweat was dripping from his forehead, "I don't want to go to jail... I don't want to..."
What else did Xu Ruoshu want to say.
Duan Zhicheng seemed to be unconscious and murmured: "Can I pay with my life? If I die, will the head office be fine?"
Then, Duan Jiaxu saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
His father, in order to escape this sin.
Suddenly he rushed towards the balcony, then jumped from the sixth floor.
…
Duan Zhicheng did not die, but became a vegetative state in bed.
Huge medical expenses, huge compensation, never-ending accusations, all the blame that Duan Zhicheng should bear have all changed direction and weighed heavily on the family.
Duan Jiaxu and Xu Ruoshu endured the entanglement of Jiang Ying's family, including all their relatives.
Young children and gentle and cowardly women became the best targets for bullying. The endless extortion and sharp and vicious curses gradually stopped after they moved.
But it has become a shadow that will never go away.
——"You deserve to die too."
——"I really don't know what you will become when you grow up."
I'm afraid it will be like what everyone said.
Duan Jiaxu will become a person like Duan Zhicheng in the future.
So he never drinks.
Follow the rules in everything you do.
Duan Jiaxu lives with low self-esteem, cautiously, and hard-working. He does not believe in fate, and will never choose to give up on himself and fall into the quagmire due to other people's words.
He believed that, like Xu Ruoshu said,
Just as he thought.
He will live better than anyone else.
…
…
Sang Zhi's cell phone was muted for a long time, mainly because she was in class and because she was afraid of disturbing her roommates. But recently, she was alone in the dormitory and because she never saw other people's messages in time, she turned on the sound.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up by a WeChat call.
Sang Zhi was upset by the noise. For a moment, she thought it was the alarm clock. She touched her phone, hung up the phone in a daze, covered her head and continued to sleep.
Not long after, the phone rang again.
Sang Zhi woke up a little, wrinkled her eyes, and looked at the screen intently.
I found out that the call was from Duan Jiaxu.
Paying attention to the time in the center of the phone, Sang Zhi was immediately shocked. She calmed down her breathing, endured her temper, answered the phone, and turned on the external speaker.
In the small dormitory, Duan Jiaxu's voice suddenly sounded: "Sleep?"
Sang Zhi was going crazy: "It's three o'clock now, brother."
Duan Jiaxu paused and smiled sullenly on the other end: "I'm sorry, I can't sleep."
Sang Zhi just wanted to sleep and said perfunctorily: "What do you want to do?"
"Talk to you."
"I want to sleep!" Sang Zhi resisted the urge to hang up the phone and said, "Go find my brother. I don't think he has slept yet. He usually stays up all night on weekends—"
Duan Jiaxu: "I just want to find you."
"..."
Sang Zhi raised her eyelids. She felt that it was not right for him to harass her at this hour in the middle of the night. She reached out and turned on the camera: "What are you doing?"
It was pitch black over here, and even with the camera turned on, she couldn't see anything.
Seeing this, Duan Jiaxu also opened the other end, revealing his face. The light on his end was not too bright, and the pixels seemed a bit low: "It's okay, you can go to sleep."
"..." Sang Zhi said, "Are you having a nightmare?"
Duan Jiaxu laughed: "How do you know?"
Because he had just woken up, Sang Zhi spoke with a nasal sound, which sounded soft and slow: "At this time, what else can it be besides a nightmare?"
"..."
"Did you dream about a ghost? A ghost pressing down on the bed? Why are you so cowardly?" Sang Zhi said disgustedly, "Lie down now and I'll sing you a lullaby."
Duan Jiaxu hummed softly.
Sang Zhi lay on the pillow and began to sing: "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby..."
"..."
Soon, Sang Zhi stopped and sat up: "I feel like I have to fall asleep first when singing like this."
Duan Jiaxu started to laugh again, with a faint breath.
Sang Zhi was wrapped in quilt and sitting against the wall, holding her mobile phone in her hand, saying whatever came to her mind: "It's just a nightmare, it's all fake. Look at the things around you, look at me on the screen -"
"..."
"Oh." Sang Zhi's mind was a little unclear, "I don't have any light here, I'm too lazy to go down and open it."
Duan Jiaxu responded with a smile: "Yeah."
"It's all fake." Even Sang Zhi felt like he was going to fall asleep while sitting there, talking nonsense, "I am the real one, everything else is fake."
Duan Jiaxu's voice was low and caring: "I know."
The two of them talked for a while, and Sang Zhi lay on the bed again without realizing it, and gradually fell asleep.
The phone in my hand was still on.
The person on the other end listened to her gentle breathing, chuckled, and gradually fell asleep.
Until dawn.
In the new week, Sang Zhi went to work at the company as usual.
As usual, she was picked on by Shi Xiaoyu, and then responded neatly. The number of times was too many, and seeing Shi Xiaoyu who was so angry at her every time, Sang Zhi actually felt like she was enjoying it.
When she got off work, Shi Xiaoyu put on her bag and left on time. Before leaving, she glanced at Sang Zhi coldly and said expressionlessly: "Put the reports in order and then go back."
Sang Zhi nodded: "Oh."
After she left, Sang Zhi also started packing her things and getting ready to get off work.
Noticing the situation on her side, He Pengxing's eyes widened: "Are you leaving? Didn't I ask you to sort out the reports?"
Sang Zhi: "I'll sort it out tomorrow."
Wan Zhe was envious: "Sang Zhi, why are you so awesome?"
He Pengxing: "You will be scolded to death by Sister Xiaoyu if you come over tomorrow."
"I get scolded for not being tidy," Sang Zhi said, "Then I might as well get off work early, take a good rest, recharge my batteries, and wait for her to scold me tomorrow."
"..."
Wan Zhe: "I want to be as old as her, and I can be so cool."
He Pengxing: "If I didn't plan to become a full-time employee, I could be so cool."
Sang Zhi: "..."
It's really more fun to go to work this way.
After leaving the company, Sang Zhi didn't feel tired. She took the subway and went downstairs to Duan Jiaxu's company to wait for him to get off work. She found a sushi restaurant and ordered a set meal at random.
She pulled out a comic and read it.
Not long after, Sang Zhi received a call from Liping.
She picked up.
Liping: "Just, where are you now? Are you still working overtime?"
Sang Zhi bit into the sushi and said, "No, I just got off work. I'm having dinner now."
"Go back to the dormitory as soon as possible after eating, you know?" Li Ping sighed, "You are alone there, which makes me very uneasy. Is it possible to find an internship here in Nanwu in the future?"
"It's okay," Sang Zhi looked at the time, "I should be back at eight o'clock, it won't be too late."
"Okay, let's video chat with mom later."
"good."
Sang Zhi hung up the phone, didn't take the matter too seriously, and continued eating sushi.
Soon, Duan Jiaxu also came.
Sang Zhi also ordered one for him and said, "I have to go back early today because my mother wants to video chat with me."
"Um."
After dinner, Duan Jiaxu sent Sang Zhi back to school.
He didn't drive. After the two got off the subway, they walked hand in hand in the direction of Yihe University: "Shi Xiaoyu asked me to fill a glass of warm water for her today, so I went to fill it for her."
"Then what."
"After I finished pretending, she scolded me, saying that she obviously wanted cold water." Sang Zhi became interested when she mentioned this, "I said, the water dispenser can't produce cold water."
Duan Jiaxu found it funny: "Then?"
"She was very angry and said how could the cold water not come out. I said, go and try it, and she tried it. Then she told me that it was obviously fine. I said, maybe it broke as soon as I used it -
—”
Before Sang Zhi could finish speaking, her cell phone suddenly rang.
As she spoke, Sang Zhi took out her cell phone and saw that the caller ID was Sang Yan. She blinked and picked up the call very spinelessly: "What are you doing?"
The other end paused and said in a cool tone: "Have you returned to the dormitory?"
"You and your mother have to ask me this question again today," Sang Zhi said in confusion, "I'm almost at school now, what's wrong?"
"So," Sang Yan kept mumbling words one by one, "right now, the person holding hands with a man at the school gate is you, right?"
"..."
Very sudden words.
Sang Zhi was still a little confused. She didn't realize the meaning of his words for a moment, and subconsciously looked around: "Ah? Brother, have you come to Yihe?"
The other end has already hung up the phone.
Sang Zhi also discovered Sang Yan's existence at the same time.
He was on the side of the road, staring expressionlessly at their intertwined hands. A taxi started next to him and disappeared into the traffic, as if it had taken away all the sounds in the world.
Sang Yan said calmly: "Am I blind?"
"..."
"Why do I think your graduate student boyfriend," Sang Yan sneered, "looks just like Duan Jiaxu's dog?"
The author has something to say: Jiang Ying doesn't have much of a role, so don't worry.
