Chapter 17 It's the kind of IOU, so don't feel embarrassed, you
"Okay. I was sorry for what happened back then. If you didn't say anything, the scolding I received would be considered as compensation."
"I'm very tired today. I want to go back and rest early. That's it. Goodbye."
Xia Ju kept her head down and refused to say anything, and Su Mu couldn't force her to speak.
But it was even more impossible to spend an entire night in silence with her, so Su Mu chose to leave.
If she feels embarrassed and has something to hide, she doesn't have to pursue it. Anyway, she owes it to her. Thinking about it this way, the initial discomfort is nothing. Isn't it just a scolding? You delayed something important in someone's life.
competition.
"Crack."
“···”
"Pap tap tap."
The sound of high heels on the stone floor was particularly clear in the deserted night.
"Pap-pap-pap-pap."
Perhaps the person involved also understood this, so he tried his best to follow Su Mu's footsteps.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at his home, Su Mu couldn't help but turn around and asked: "I said, do you plan to go home with me all the time?"
“···”
Xia Ju still lowered her head and refused to speak.
"Okay then, do whatever you like, I'm tired anyway."
“···”
She raised her head and looked directly at Su Mu.
“···”
Originally, Su Mu wanted to leave, but seeing tears welling up in her eyes, she couldn't hold on to her tough attitude no matter what.
"Hey, I'm really impressed by you."
Su Mu sat on the flower bed and lit a cigarette. With her like this, Su Mu couldn't just leave and go back to sleep.
"Well... I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Xia Ju hesitated for a long time and finally spoke.
"Just say it if you know it's causing trouble. If you have anything to say, just say it. What's wrong with a girl who doesn't go home at night and follows a man like me?"
Su Mu took a puff of cigarette, feeling very complicated.
Before Xia Ju rushed out of the store, he couldn't have imagined that such a bizarre thing would happen next.
"···sorry."
Xia Ju lowered her head in guilt again.
"Goodbye, don't apologize either. Let's not talk about anything else. Please tell me what happened in the store before."
Su Mu was very confused as to why he had to be called a scumbag multiple times for no reason, and why he had to be scolded by an unknown uncle who looked at him like a cockroach.
"actually."
Xia Ju gritted her teeth, raised her head and stared into Su Mu's eyes, and said, "Can you please stop laughing at me if I tell you?"
"Won't."
To be honest, Su Mu felt that he was the one who should be laughed at.
I was played with by a girl I didn't know for two hours in the afternoon. I seemed to have missed a rich woman in the evening. When I got home, I was scolded for no reason by an uncle.
Nothing was accomplished that day, but Su Mu felt very haggard.
Well... I have to say that there is a good thing. The first kiss ended inexplicably.
"actually."
Xia Ju was silent for a moment and then said: "I can't go home now."
"Can't go home? What do you mean?"
Su Mu frowned.
"My wallet and mobile phone were stolen by my roommate, and the rent was due. I just quit my job and had no income. Then I had no choice but to be kicked out by the landlord."
"Wait a minute. I remember you said you were going on a business trip yesterday? You also went to the airport."
"...I didn't go, that's a lie. I just took a detour to find a park to sleep in to save my face."
“···”
At this time, Su Mu paid attention to Xia Ju's high heels.
The bottom of the heel is still broken.
Her hair is also a little messy. She probably washed her hair in the park restroom but didn't have the equipment to do it properly. If you look closely at her whole body, you will find that she is actually a little haggard.
Looking back at yesterday's conversation based on what she said now and the state of her body, she refused when he offered to give her a taxi.
Now that I think about it, if you are not even willing to take a taxi, why are you willing to give it to yourself?
The real reason is that I don’t have enough money in my pocket to pay the fare?
So I refused for the sake of face. After being so far away, I turned around to say thank you. At that time, I saw Xia Ju’s eyes sparkling, maybe tears of true grievance were rolling down her face.
But it's really amazing that under such circumstances, I can still come to join the party.
Wait, maybe she actually joined the party just to eat, right?
"But can't you withdraw money after you go to the police station to get a new ID card?"
Sumu said.
"My money was defrauded by my roommate, and then stolen by her again."
"So you don't have a penny. Now that's it, why don't you call your family?"
"When I came to the winter market, I had to go through hard work to get out of my home. If I got beaten, they would definitely let me go back to my hometown, and everything from then on would be at their discretion."
"Um."
This Sumu does know.
I knew when I was in college that this guy is the kind of guy who doesn't like to have his life arranged by others. Even if his life is arranged to be better, he still insists on his own ideas.
In this regard, he is just as stubborn as himself. But if he fell into this state, he would humbly seek help from his family.
Well.
In addition, what Su Mu knew was that when Xia Ju was in college, she had a lukewarm personality, and she didn't like talking to people very much. She was jealous of her appearance and figure, so it was normal.
I'm a really close friend, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to borrow money.
"So, you were desperate and were taken in by your uncle. Then to save face, you called me your boyfriend, who you just met yesterday?"
"···Um."
Xia Ju nodded silently.
"I'm afraid you didn't expect that I would just pass by there, right?"
"···without."
Xia Ju shook her head.
"You kissed me just to block my mouth and fool me. Okay, now I understand everything."
Su Mu put out the cigarette butt, put it in his pocket and said, "Okay, let's do that."
After walking a few steps, he realized that Xia Ju was still standing there. Su Mu turned around helplessly and said, "You don't really think I'm just going to leave you here and ignore you, do you? Come and follow me."
"Um!"
Xia Ju's originally disappointed expression suddenly became clear.
Although the process was bumpy and tortuous, and caused trouble to the shop owner and Su Mu, the desired ending was finally achieved.
What should I say?
Anyway, I will apologize and thank the shop owner tomorrow.
But after following Su Mu for a few steps, Xia Ju realized something was wrong. This route was definitely not the way home.
No, is it because things have changed and Su Mu's home is no longer the apartment in the previous life?
Although it was strange, Xia Ju thought that Su Mu would find it even weirder if she said, "Your home is not this way." So she endured her doubts and did not say anything.
As a result, Xia Ju knew that she had misunderstood when she saw the place.
"Well, I only have a little over 30,000 yuan in my card right now. I will lend you 30,000 yuan and leave some for my living expenses."
“···”
Xia Ju never expected that the place Su Mu took him to was not his home, but in front of an ATM machine.
"Take it, it's not given to you for free, it's lent to you, and you have to write an IOU."
Su Mu thought Xia Ju was embarrassed.
“···”
Xia Ju was a little angry, but there was nothing she could do.
In other words, how could an honest person like Su Mu, who didn't have that much trouble, say like those boys with malicious intentions, "Do you want to come sleep at my house? The bed is very big."
"Take the money and find a hotel to stay in. If you still feel embarrassed, wait until you pay back the money and treat me to a meal."
“···”
"Hey, it's now this time, don't you still care about face? You already have no face with me, okay?"
“···”
"You must not have a girlfriend now, right?"
After holding it in for a long time, Xia Ju finally said this with a smile.
Although the fault was all his own, Xia Ju wanted to say this anyway.
