It turns out that it will still be lonely
Chapter 3 The Lonely Sick
Chapter 3 The Lonely Sick
01
"Spirit ear!"
After school, all the other students went out for dinner, Ji Hang suddenly appeared at the door of our classroom and waved to me.
I sat in my seat, stopped opening the thermos, and felt that many students looked back at me at the door.I pursed my lips, bit the bullet and walked out.
"Hello, Teacher Ji."
"Mr. Ji."
……
Some students who took Ji Hang's yoga class were busy greeting her, but Ji Hang just nodded with a smile, then turned his eyes to me and said, "Linger, I have something to tell you."
She called me "Ling'er" instead of "Zhao Ling'er". Others sensed the difference between the two, and looked at us curiously, as if wondering what the relationship between Zhao Ling'er and Teacher Ji was.
I followed Ji Hang out of the classroom and remained silent all the way.Ji Hang took me to the end of the corridor, and there was no one there.
"Linger, take the money back. I don't want your money to help you settle He Shuang, but I just hope you are well."
Ji Hang took out 100 yuan from her rose-colored leather bag and stuffed it into my hand. I secretly put this money in the drawer of her desk when no one was looking.
I turned sideways, avoided her very quickly, did not take the money, and raised my head to look at Ji Hang who was wearing exquisite makeup.
"Mr. Ji, first of all, I don't think you are doing me a favor by looking for He Shuang. If you go to He Shuang secretly, doesn't it mean that you don't trust me at all? You think what He Shuang said is right. Liar. Secondly, I don't need your help at all, who are you to me, why do you do those things on your own? If I say that I don't owe He Shuang money, are you going to give her money? "
"In fact, you lied. You did take her money and didn't pay it back, didn't you?" Ji Hang seemed to be annoyed by my words, and said to me in a cold voice for the first time.
I sneered, looked at her face that was finally no longer hypocritical, and replied: "You have evidence to prove that He Shuang is right, am I lying? Last time in the office, the teachers already believed me, you Why should you doubt me? Do you think that I am a bad person in the bottom of your heart? Teacher Ji, why are you at ease? "
"Zhao Linger, don't go too far! Do you know how vitriolic what you said just now? If your Uncle Lin knew you were like this, what would he think? If it wasn't for your Uncle Lin's face, you thought I want to take care of your business? They are also adopted, and your aunt Jian Lening's personality is not like yours. Forget it, just treat me as if I have nothing to do, and I will never take care of your business in the future. " Ji Hang said excitedly with a black face.
I looked at her coldly, clenched my fists and said, "Lin Jiarui told you that I was adopted? Who is he to me? Who wants him to talk too much about my affairs? Also, Teacher Ji, no one stipulates adoption What kind of personality should a child have!"
I deliberately called her Mr. Ji, but Lin Jiarui just called her by her first name.This makes me feel that Lin Jiarui and I are equal, and she is someone who has nothing to do with us.Even though I am very angry with Lin Jiarui now, I still can't help but secretly compete with Ji Hang.
I was adopted, which is something very few people know.After all, it was because I ran away from home when I learned the truth when I was eight years old, so the adults felt that my heart was not as strong as Aunt Le Ning's, and I couldn't bear those gossips.So my mother won't let anyone mention to me that I was adopted. If anyone makes a fuss about it, my mother will definitely be angry.
In fact, I'm not as vulnerable as they think. I really don't like people making fun of my life experience, but that doesn't mean I don't want to face up to this fact.
But it was a wound after all, it was the wound I was scratched from the moment I was born, even if it doesn't matter anymore, it still hurts when someone touches it.
I think Aunt Le Ning is the same as me in this regard.Those who have said to us "little eyes, do you know that you were brought back by your mother" and "little ears, you are not born to your mother" to us just for fun, or with some kind of irony in mind, Never know how cruel they are.
What made me angry was not that Ji Hang said I was adopted, but that Lin Jiarui even told her about it.
"Yes, I am indeed not as good as Aunt Le Ning. I have grown up, and I have never met anyone who is better than her, including you. Since you know Aunt Le Ning, you should also know that the person Lin Jiarui loves the most is my aunt Jane. Le Ning, not you."
I will never be as kind as my Aunt Le Ning. After she was injured, she would only choose someone to heal those wounds silently.I am not, whoever hurts me, I will definitely fight back.
"Linger, who told you these things?" Ji Hang looked at me in panic, as if she wanted to gag me, she pulled me into a corner, and said almost warningly, "Linger, don't say these words You said it in front of Uncle Lin. Your aunt has always been a wound in his heart, and he will be sad if you tell him these words. "
I suddenly realized something, smiled and pushed Ji Hang's hand away, and looked at her mockingly.
"Mr. Ji, you don't love Lin Jiarui, do you? So even if you hear that he doesn't love you, you don't have any reaction." I told the secret I discovered, and Ji Hang's face seemed to be torn apart, very ugly, "You guys are ridiculous. You can still be together if you don't love each other. You pretend to be in love and talk about marriage. It's unreasonable!"
I laughed exaggeratedly, and stared at Ji Hang fiercely, with disgust and sympathy in my eyes.
"What do you know? Two people don't have to love each other when they are together. If you are tired of love, just find a suitable person to be together for a while, so that everyone will not be tired." Ji Hang said.
"Maybe I don't understand, but I know that if it was my Aunt Le Ning, she would not give up. Otherwise, she would not go to Xu Yan, but be with Lin Jiarui or Qi Xuan. Happiness is definitely not You can get it soon, unless that happiness is fake."
After I finished speaking sharply, I ignored Ji Hang and ran back to my classroom.
Until the moment I entered the door, I saw Ji Hang standing in place like a wooden figure, and she was alone at the end of the corridor, feeling a little lonely for no reason.
What have I done?After hurting Lin Jiarui, he destroyed Ji Hang's belief in happiness.
Zhao Linger, you really are not as good as Jian Lening.
02
After going back, I was no longer in the mood to continue eating.I put the thermos back on and put it in the drawer, put my hands in the pockets of my school uniform, and walked out of the classroom with my head down.
There is still some time before the evening self-study, and there is nothing urgent to do, so I want to go out to relax and see if Dong Shan is in the classroom by the way.I am in class [-], she is in class [-], there are two places on one floor, one at the end and the other at the end.
I shrank my neck and walked westward, passing the classroom of Dong Shan and her class, and stopped to have a look.I found that she was not there, so I walked to the stairs beside me, preparing to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water.
On the way to the supermarket, a familiar figure suddenly broke into my sight, and I subconsciously slowed down.
"Squeaky, here."
At the entrance of the supermarket, the boy had a flattering expression on his handsome face. He unscrewed the cap of the milk in his hand and handed it to a petite girl beside him.
Isn't that boy Ye Lan whom I've been looking for but have no time to look for?Isn't this girl Pu Zhizhi, the sophomore in our school?
It is rumored that Pu Zhizhi looks like a certain girl in South Korea's "Girls' Generation". I don't like to watch entertainment gossip, so I don't know who she looks like.Anyway, she was the kind of girl with an awl-shaped face, a straight nose bridge, bright eyes and white teeth, and long black hair.Each of our grades has its own grade flower. The third grader is Pan Shuangshuang, who looks like Audrey Hepburn and is of mixed race.Pu Zhizhi is in the second grade. I remember that when she first entered school, our school caused a great sensation because of her, and students from other grades went to see her.
Pu Zhizhi became popular as soon as he entered this school.
"Brother Ye Lan, I still want to eat Uha candy." Pu Zhizhi took a sip of milk and said winking at Ye Lan.
As soon as Pu Zhizhi finished speaking, Ye Lan patted her head in a daze, and walked into the supermarket with a smile.Seeing him leave, Pu Zhizhi smiled like a flower, and ran towards the other direction with the bottle of milk. Several well-known boys in school were standing there waiting for her.
"Zhizhi, we've been waiting for you for a long time! You're leaving, isn't that idiot in a hurry?"
"I'll explain it to him later. Are you playing basketball today? I want to see it!"
"Which day won't you fight? I'll wait for you."
"Ah."
……
Putting his hands on the shoulders of the two boys, Pu Zhizhi followed them away with a smile.
I watched them go to the playground, and then looked back at the supermarket. I saw Ye Lan, who had gone back and forth, was holding a large box of Uha candy in his hand, looking around blankly, obviously looking for someone.
Looking at his innocent and innocent appearance, I really don't know how to feel.If other boys were played like this, I would definitely laugh at them for being stupid.But facing Ye Lan, I couldn't laugh.He is indeed stupid to a certain extent, even the boys who are with Pu Zhizhi call him a fool, but I know that he is just simple, not stupid.
When I thought of how coquettishly Pu Zhizhi was asking Ye Lan for candy just now, I felt inexplicably sick to my stomach.
I walked towards Ye Lan, pretending not to see him, and the moment I passed him, I deliberately knocked over the box of Uha candy in his hand.
The sugar fell on the ground and was scattered all over the place.Ye Lan's whole heart was on the candy, she didn't even notice me, she just focused on picking up the candy.
Seeing his anxious look, I suddenly felt a little unbearable.
"Ye Lan!" I yelled.
He didn't hear it and was still picking up candy.
I held my breath in my chest and couldn't feel comfortable attacking it, so I stretched out my foot and kicked his upturned buttocks.
"Hey! Ye Lan!"
Maybe this kick was too hard, Ye Lan didn't pay attention, and threw herself on the ground.If he hadn't stretched out his hand to support the ground in time, his face would probably be wiped off the ground.
Ye Lan angrily got up from the ground, frowning and looking at me.The moment he saw me, he was visibly taken aback.After a while, he said to me a little aggrieved: "Ear, why did you kick me?"
"I called you several times, but you didn't hear me."
"Then you can't kick me either. I'll go first, and I'm going to deliver candy." Ye Lan was different from the last time he saw me. This time, he didn't seem to care about me.
He bent down to pick up the remaining candies and put them back into the box. When he was about to leave, I reached out and grabbed his down jacket hat that was exposed outside the school uniform.
"Pu Zhizhi left with others, you give me the candy." After finishing speaking, I made a gesture to snatch the candy from Ye Lan's hand.
He hid the box behind him, refused to give it to me, and asked me naively: "Who did Zhizhi go with?"
"Three men." I replied truthfully.
Ye Lan's eyes dimmed, and he remained silent. He stuffed the candy box that was hidden behind him into my arms, turned his head and left.I don't know who made him unhappy, I always feel that there is something wrong between Ye Lan and that Pu Zhizhi.
Before Ye Lan could take a few steps, I caught up with the candy box and grabbed him.
"Ye Lan, let's talk."
Ye Lan looked back at me in amazement, no matter whether he wanted to or not, I directly dragged him to a place with few people.
I can't care about Pu Zhizhi's affairs, I have other things to tell Ye Lan.If I don't meet him this time, I plan to inquire about him in the next few days, because his wallet is still with me.
03
"Ye Lan, this is your wallet. I was in urgent need of money recently, so I took some cash from it, and I took a total of 1000 yuan from you. I used it to pay the tuition fee, and I kept some of it to buy goods. I don't have any of your cards. If you have moved, I will pay you back the borrowed money in two months, and if the business is good, you may be able to pay it back in one month."
I took out the wallet I was carrying with me from the pocket of my school uniform pants, stuffed it into Ye Lan's hand, and explained without any concealment.
Ye Lan held the wallet, looked at me with a blank expression, and muttered: "Ear, if you give it to you, it's yours."
After speaking, he stuffed the wallet into my hand again.
"What do I need your wallet for? Besides, I have almost all the cash in it, and the card needs a password, so it's useless to give it to me. Okay, Ye Lan, thank you for helping me this time, but this wallet I really can't have it."
"Do you want a password?" Ye Lan asked.
He obviously misinterpreted me, I don't want his money at all.
"Nine four zero five two one." Ye Lan said very quickly.
Seeing his defenseless appearance towards me, it was impossible for me not to be moved.However, I will not take the money.
"Ye Lan, I know, you were angry with your aunt when you gave me your wallet last time. But I didn't do anything for you, so I shouldn't take your money. Take your wallet back, and I will take back the borrowed money. I will return it to you as soon as possible. Anyway, you were brave enough in front of your aunt that day, and you are worthy. Don’t worry, I will not tell your aunt that you gave me the wallet and took it back. I will not let you lose face of."
Ye Lan was silent, and when I thought he was going to stay silent for a long time like before, Ye Lan said slowly: "Ear, auntie's words are unpleasant, don't be sad."
I don't know why, when I heard Ye Lan say this, I couldn't help my nose panting.He actually knew that his aunt's words hurt me that day.
"I don't even know who she is, how dare you give her wallet to others?"
This is what Ye Lan's aunt said in front of me that day. Can I say that I was stabbed at that moment?I hate it when she talks like that, like everyone is after their family's money.It is true that I am dressed too casually, and I am indeed not of the same social level as them, but can you stop saying such discriminatory words?
Whether a person has money has nothing to do with his personality.
However, what shocked me was that Ye Lan was the first person who saw that I was sad, the first person who saw through my disguise and said "Don't be sad" to me directly.Even Lin Jiarui, he only told me to tell me when I was sad, but he didn't know when I was sad.
"No! I didn't hear what your aunt said, what's so sad." I habitually pretended that I was fine, but I didn't expect to be exposed by Ye Lan.
He said: "You are lying, you are not happy, after she said that sentence, your face changed."
At this moment, I really want to go to Pu Zhizhi and those boys and tell them that this is the person you think is a fool, but in fact he is not stupid at all.
"Well, you're right. What your aunt said really irritated me. But it's over, and I don't care about it. You keep the wallet yourself, and I will pay back the borrowed money in it soon. If you feel sorry for me, just give me this box of candy." I hugged the box of Yuha candy and said.
Ye Lan looked at the candy in my hand, neither agreed nor refused, looking in a daze.
I know what he's thinking.
"Ye Lan, do you like Pu Zhizhi?" I asked bluntly.
Ye Lan's eyes flickered for a moment, he raised his head to look at me, pouted and said, "Zhizhi doesn't seem to like me."
I felt a little unbelievable, and couldn't help saying for a while: "So you can see it too!"
Ye Lan glanced at me faintly, and fell silent again.
"Ye Lan, why did you come to our school?" I suddenly asked such a question.
"Zhizhi is here." Ye Lan replied without hesitation.
Sure enough, upon hearing this answer, I don't know whether to be happy for Ye Lan or worried.
It's a very happy thing to see someone I like when I come here, but when I think of Pu Zhizhi and those boys laughing at Ye Lan behind their backs just now, I feel very uncomfortable.
In fact, Pu Zhizhi is not suitable for such a simple Ye Lan.
But this is Ye Lan's private matter after all, and I can't say anything, so I quickly bypassed the topic and chatted with Ye Lan casually.Most of the time, I was the one who was talking, he kept silent, and I was not very interested, so I quickly ended the topic, dropped my wallet, and left with the Yuha candy he originally bought for Pu Zhizhi.I even forgot that I came down to buy water, so I went upstairs and returned to the classroom.
Ye Lan came up with me. It turned out that he was in the same grade as me. He was in Class [-] of Science and separated from me on the second floor.
I was afraid that Ye Lan would have any opinion on me, so when we parted, I emphasized to him again that I would pay him back the money as soon as possible.
Ye Lan was still thinking about Pu Zhizhi, and he didn't seem to hear me. I had already climbed to the third floor, and he came out belatedly and shouted: "Ear, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing."
I smiled lightly and left with my things in my arms.
Most of the time, others may not care about what you care about, just like Ye Lan and me.Ye Lan came to this school because of Pu Zhizhi, so he cares about everything about Pu Zhizhi; but I am not, I don't care about Pu Zhizhi, I only care about whether I will be cared by someone I want to care about people misunderstand.Well, it turns out that in my heart, Ye Lan is already different from other people.I consider him a friend, and he's one of the rare people I've ever had a good relationship with at this school.
04
From that day on, I haven't met Ye Lan for several days.The graduating class is too busy with studies. In addition to the endless test papers, there are also various wrong questions that can't be corrected.Except for class time, I usually stay in the classroom during the short 10 minutes of recess.If it is not deliberately looking for it, it is too difficult to have a chance encounter like before.
I don't have anything to go to Ye Lan, and Ye Lan naturally won't come to me, he is busy chasing Pu Zhizhi.
I don't know how Ye Lan and Pu Zhizhi met, and what kind of friendship they have. Anyway, gossip is always the fastest spread in school.Ye Lan himself is different from ordinary students, and Pu Zhizhi, who gets along with him, is one of the school's influential figures, so within a few days, a new third-year idiot was chasing Pu Zhizhi's news Word spread quickly.
I heard that the idiot is called Ye Lan, he looks good, and there is nothing abnormal on the surface, but he doesn't like to deal with others.His parents asked the teacher to take special care of Ye Lan. Someone overheard the conversation of the teachers and learned that Ye Lan had autism.
Oh, it turns out that his appearance is called autism!Isn't that the same for Zhao Ling'er from Class [-], who is alone on weekdays and doesn't talk to anyone, so she can't be sick, right?
I don't know how the news got involved in me. For the first time, I knew that I was actually a strange person in the eyes of my classmates.
When Dong Shan told me about these gossips on Saturday, I smiled disapprovingly: "It's their business to say what they like. I know best if I have autism. If I really have autism, That's good, you can become innocent and ignorant like Ye Lan, so you can save a lot of trouble."
"Linger, do you know that Ye Lan?" Dong Shan asked me with her head tilted.
"Well, but I'm not very familiar, I've only met a few times."
"How did you meet? I heard that he is very strange, is it true?"
Dong Shan pestered me curiously, but I had no choice but to tell the story of how Ye Lan and I met, which was still a follow-up story triggered by the three-dollar omelette incident.
I told Dong Shan everything about me and Ye Lan from the first time we met to school, but I didn't tell Dong Shan that I borrowed money from Ye Lan's wallet.
Dong Shan always thought that our new purchase was purchased with my college savings, and she didn't know that my dad owed a lot of gambling debts and stole my passbook.
I don't think it's necessary to tell others about those things, after all, it's not a good thing.
"Oh, that's right! Hearing what you said, I think Ye Lan is quite pitiful. His stepmother is so hateful! He has autism and doesn't know how to get along with others. He must be very lonely. Maybe Pu Zhizhi He is his rare friend, so he likes to pester Pu Zhizhi. I think Ye Lan is quite careless." Dong Shan said to me while arranging the things on the shelves.
"Ye Lan doesn't care about anyone, except his aunt."
"That's right." Dong Shan said empathetically.
The topic did not continue because a customer came.Today's luck is relatively good. Since the first business was made, the following business has almost never been interrupted.We're all so busy with business that we don't have time for chatting.We were busy until one o'clock in the afternoon, and Dong Shan and I had time to catch our breath and have lunch.
"The business on this street is good, let's come here again in the future!" Dong Shan said as she took a bite of her finger cake.
I looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, shook my head, and said, "I guess it won't last long here. Once the department store over there opens, few people will come to buy street stalls."
"Our things are cheaper than those in the mall!"
"That department store was originally aimed at the middle and lower class people, and you can bargain inside, not much more expensive than ours." I continued.
Dong Shan sighed and lowered her head helplessly.
"It's really hard to make money." After eating, Dong Shan couldn't help sighing.
I smiled and comforted me: "Don't worry, this is just a part-time job. I believe we won't do this all the time. When we are admitted to university, we will definitely find a decent job after graduation."
"Yes, these are just extra money. If I do this all my life, I will be worthless." Dong Shan agreed, and suddenly thought of something, grinned and said, "However, our profit is not bad, it seems There are many college students who have just graduated to work, and their salaries are not as much as we earn."
"Which line of work does not distinguish between high and low wages? How much money you make depends on your own ability. Let's not talk so far, let's do what is in front of us first!" I threw the garbage into a plastic bag beside me, and patted Dong Shan's face. Shoulder encouraged.
It was busy again. I thought that this day would pass without incident like the previous days, but I didn't expect that God was very keen on joking with us.
This time I didn't meet the city management, but met someone more troublesome than the city management.
"Zhao Linger? Why are you here? Are you setting up a street stall here?" A surprised female voice came from not far away. Dong Shan and I looked up and saw a few girls walking towards us.
A few of them are familiar to me.
One is the kumquat that bumped into me in the carport last time, and the friend of the kumquat who is also in our class - Mo Yangyang.The other two are from the [-]th class next door, and one of them is He Shuang who had a dispute with us before and told me never to see each other again.Unexpectedly, only a few days later, we met again; the other one was from He Shuang's class, and he took Taekwondo class with me.
"Why are you surprised? Don't you know that Zhao Linger in your class has been setting up a street stall for a while?" He Shuang said talkatively.
"Go and see what they are selling." Kumquat curiously dragged the others to our booth, picking up the jewelry on our shelf with a few hands.
"These are all imitated jewelry from magazines, isn't it against the law?" someone shouted, Kumquat and the others held the jewelry and looked at us inquiringly.
"There are a lot of these things on Qipu Road. If it's a crime, the police can't catch them all." Dong Shan said in a bad tone because she couldn't understand how they messed up the things on the stall.
Sensing that Dong Shan was angry, Kumquat and the others resentfully threw the things in their hands on the stall, looking very disdainful.
"Just talking casually, is it necessary to be so fierce?" Mo Yangyang curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.
Both Dong Shan and I heard it, and so did the others.Dong Shan wanted to say something else, so I grabbed her and signaled her to forget it.
"Let's go, don't you want to go to KTV to sing? What's there to see?" He Shuang urged, holding Jinju's hand.
Kumquat asked He Shuang curiously: "Didn't you say last time that you started a small business with someone else? What happened afterwards?"
Dong Shan and I looked towards He Shuang subconsciously, and found that she was also looking at us.I thought that He Shuang would talk about our previous conflicts and ask her friends to take the lead for her, but what I didn't expect was that she just took a look at us and changed the topic.
"I didn't do it later. I'm so busy studying, how can I have time to do this? Let's go."
"That's right, it's not that your family doesn't have money, so there's no need to do these things." Someone echoed.
"I think it's embarrassing for them to set up a stall, standing there all day long to please customers, just for the few dollars."
"Speak less, all of you! Are you going to sing again?"
"He Shuang, why are you in a hurry? It's not that you don't want to sing!"
……
The group of people came chirping like sparrows, and then left chirping.Say a few taunts about us and walk away feeling good about yourself.
"Linger, I found that compared with those girls, He Shuang seems to be less annoying, mainly because the others are more annoying." After they left, Dong Shan complained to me.
I pursed my lips and didn't speak.
What they said was nothing more than irrelevant things. We use our spare time to earn our own money, do not steal or rob, keep ourselves safe, and work hard for our lives and future dreams. There is nothing wrong with that.They have money to spend singing and squandering, but we have no money, so setting up street stalls here is all about living their own lives. Why do we have to step on other people's shoulders to improve our status?
"Let's do our own thing, let them talk about it." I comforted Dong Shan, then raised my head to look at the sky.Looking at the blue sky, I took a deep breath, automatically filtered out those unpleasant words, and continued to wait for our new guests.
05
When a group of policemen found me, Dong Shan and I had just finished dinner and were walking towards our community when we saw a group of people running towards us.Soon, we were surrounded, and we don't know why.
"What are you doing? Why are you surrounding us? Linger!"
Dong Shan shouted anxiously, and I also looked at the people in police uniforms who surrounded me inexplicably.
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked in surprise.
"Zhao Ling'er, right? We'll find out when we go back to the police station." One of the policemen said.
Then I was taken into a police car. Dong Shan was worried and insisted on following, but the police didn't drive her off.
Only me was arrested, but Dong Shan was not arrested. Thinking about it, I know it wasn't because of our street stall.But apart from this, I can't think of any other reason.
I don't recall doing anything against the law.When I got to the police station and saw the so-called reporter, I realized that some people just had nothing to do when they were full.
"Auntie, what do you mean?" I asked the well-dressed woman sitting on the chair.
Ye Lan’s aunt gave me a disdainful look, and said to the police, “That’s her! Last time my son’s wallet was in her hands. Not only is more than 1000 yuan in cash missing from the wallet, but several credit cards have also been stolen. A lot of money was swiped. I had someone check it, and the missing amount was [-]. My son is autistic, and he has a certificate issued by the hospital, and he is simple in nature and easy to be deceived, so I suspect Zhao Linger took advantage of my son's kindness to cheat the money."
After Ye Lan's aunt finished speaking with a serious expression, I found that everyone looked at me accusingly, even Dong Shan who was beside me looked at me in shock.
"Linger, is what she said true?" Dong Shan asked me in astonishment.
"I didn't. I returned the wallet to Ye Lan a few days ago. I didn't swipe any card except to ask him to borrow 1000 yuan in cash. And Ye Lan knew about the borrowed money. I borrowed it urgently. I said I would return it to him within two months." I defended myself with a trembling voice.
This time I'm not lying, I really didn't use those cards.
"It's not you, who could it be? You and Ye Lan have touched the wallet. Leaving aside the cash, Ye Lan never knows how to swipe the card. How could the card in the wallet be swiped?" Ye Lan's aunt asked me aggressively. .
"I didn't take it, so I didn't take it! Isn't there a record of swiping the card? You can check the bank records and you will know! Who swiped the card, you will know once you check it? Did I return the wallet to Ye Lan? Ye Lan It’s the clearest, just call him over and ask!” I roared excitedly.
I'm really fed up with this woman who wronged me for defrauding Ye Lan of money a few years ago, and now she's doing the same thing again.Doesn't she not love Ye Lan?Why are you so fussy about Ye Lan's money?Oh, by the way, what she loves most is Ye Lan's father's money, and Ye Lan's father's money is also hers.
"Ye Lan has autism, what proof can he have?" Ye Lan's aunt refused decisively.
I thought her self-righteous face was really disgusting, so I said angrily: "It's true that Ye Lan has autism, but he's just not good at communicating with others. It's not because of his brain problems or low IQ. Why can't he do Is it because you feel from the bottom of your heart that I cheated him of his money, so you don’t let him testify? Or are you afraid that he will know that you are investigating his wallet and consumption records behind his back, and come to report the crime and get angry with you? ah?"
I expressed the concerns in her heart, and sure enough, her face became ugly.
"What do you know? You bitch is so stubborn! Why don't you police lock her in?"
"There is a process for filing a case. First of all, you did not give clear evidence when you reported the case, so we can only keep Zhao Linger to understand the situation. Just like Zhao Linger said, we need to check Ye Lan's credit card consumption records. Follow up. Of course, if Ye Lan just has communication difficulties and his IQ is fine, we still hope that he can testify." The policeman sitting opposite Ye Lan's aunt explained.
"Then why don't you check the records?" Ye Lan's aunt said impatiently.
Several police officers smiled wryly and left.I was driven to a bench beside me, and Dong Shan followed me and stood beside me with a serious expression on her face.
I smiled at her and said "it's okay", and her face softened a little.
Ye Lan's aunt went out to make a phone call. Her voice was not low, and we could hear it even inside.The person talking to her should be Ye Lan's father, because most of what she said was that Ye Lan's money was cheated, Ye Lan didn't listen to her, and so on.It is said that there are few good stepmothers, especially those from rich families. I feel a little sympathetic to Ye Lan.
"You don't have evidence, so you can't arrest me casually. This violates my legal rights. When can I leave?" After a stalemate for a while, I couldn't help but speak to a policeman not far away.
The policeman came over, glanced at me, and said with a smile: "It's still in the investigation stage, so you can work harder and cooperate with our investigation!"
I sighed helplessly, fell silent, and thought I was unlucky.
We were taken to the police station at about five o'clock, and I was not released until after ten o'clock in the evening.After Dong Shan's mother and my mother came home from get off work, they didn't see us both, so they called to inquire.I didn't want my mother to know about this, so I asked Dong Shan to tell my mother that I was staying at her house tonight; and Dong Shan was asked by me to go back first, otherwise it would be difficult for her mother to explain.I can only hope that my mother won't call Dong Shan's mother to verify, or that I will have been released by the time they talked about it.
"Then I'll be leaving first, Linger. Call me when you get home. If there's anything wrong, call me or your mother, or we'll all be worried." Before she left, Dong Shan ordered I.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." I reassured.
After Dong Shan left, I stayed in the police station for a long time.Meanwhile, Ye Lan's aunt went home first and asked the police to notify her when they had any news. As a "suspect", I had no choice but to stay in the police station.
At night, there are fewer and fewer people in the police station, and it is very quiet.Even though I was very tired, I still didn't feel sleepy at all.
I prayed in my heart that when the dawn came, I could return to my previous life again.
I laughed at myself and said: "This is just a joke that fate played with me."
06
I don't know when I fell asleep, I only know that I was woken up by the police in the early morning of the next day.
"Zhao Ling'er, you can leave. We investigated overnight and found out that it was not you who swiped those cards. You can leave." Someone patted my shoulder and said in a gentle tone with a smile.
Hearing such news, I don't know what to say.I knew earlier that the person swiping the card was not me, but I still stayed in the police station all night.Ye Lan's aunt hasn't shown up since she left, so that's the end of the oolong she directed?
"Then did you find out who swiped those cards? Did they get caught?" I asked a lot.
The policeman who was talking to me showed an embarrassed expression, and quickly said with a smile: "I am not in charge of these things. There are special people in charge. You should go home quickly. You are quite tired after sitting here all night. The person who reported the case was really serious. I didn’t see her coming to say sorry to you. Anyway, as long as you pay back the money you borrowed from Ye Lan, you won’t be in any trouble. Of course, if Ye Lan doesn’t want you to pay back the money, you can No problem. This is all your own business, you can go!"
In this way, I was inexplicably arrested and taken to the police station, and then released in such a muddled manner.
When I stood up from the stool, my feet were numb, and it took a long time before I had the strength to walk out.
I moved my limbs, took out my phone from my pocket and looked at it, it was only past seven in the morning.It is estimated that Dong Shan has not woken up yet, so I sent her a text message to report that she is safe, thinking that she will be able to see it when she wakes up.
After sending the text message, I didn't go far, so I sat at the breakfast stall near the police station for a while, ordered a basket of small soup dumplings, and played with my phone while eating.After such an unusual night, I was eager to find someone to talk to.
I flipped through the few contacts on my phone, but in the end I didn't know who to call, so my finger landed on my mother's number, and somehow I dialed it.
Mom's voice has always been busy, and she has already gone to work at this time.
"Linger, you've woken up! Aunt Xiaofang said that you were noisy last night, don't do it in the future. Your Aunt Le Ning sent you some things, and I put them on your bed. That's it, mom first Going to work."
Before I could say anything, my mother hung up the phone quickly, she seemed very busy.
Thinking of what she said, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.Dong Shan must have also thought that her mother would tell my mother about that matter, and she was afraid that the fact that I didn't go to her house would be exposed, so she found someone else to pretend to be me.Aunt Xiaofang is Dong Shan's mother. She often works night shift and comes home very late.If she didn't deliberately go to Dong Shan's room to watch after she got home, as long as the person pretending to be me didn't show her face in front of her, it shouldn't be revealed.Otherwise, Aunt Xiaofang wouldn't have told my mother that.
I stared at the phone in a daze, but I really wanted to say "I'm fine" to my mother.
I'm fine, no matter what's going on, I'm feeling fine so far.As long as I persevere, life will not knock me down, and our family will be fine.
When I got home after breakfast, I saw the things Aunt Le Ning had sent me in the bedroom.It was almost the same as what I sent every time in the past, all clothes, pants, shoes, a brand new set, obvious princess style, and food - nutritious calcium tablets, snacks and so on.
I suddenly thought of something, put my hand into the new pair of leather shoes, and sure enough, I took out a red envelope from inside.Looking at the money inside, my nose was sore, and I wanted to cry a little.Aunt Le Ning really loves me. She has always loved me since I was a child.Even though she left with Qixuan later, and ended up not coming back often with Xu Yan in other places, she never forgot me.I can receive things from her every month. She is even more caring than my mother. She will remember to buy me new clothes, food, and give me pocket money.
She has been gone for so many years, and she probably doesn't know that I have long since stopped wearing those sweet princess outfits.Even if I don’t have pocket money, I’m no longer the poor guy who was arrested and sent to the police station for stealing three yuan because I was envious of others eating egg pancakes.I am rich myself, and I work part-time to earn money, but I never tell her this.I thought to myself, in Aunt Le Ning's memory, I was still that childlike Linger, wearing a beautiful princess dress, without worrying about life.
However, people always have to face reality.
Now, Zhao Ling'er in reality is completely different from the little ear in Jian Lening's memory.
07
On Sunday, Dong Shan went to a relative's house, and we didn't set up a stall together.We met again on Monday, when we had lunch together at school.
"They just let you go without apologizing to you?" Dong Shan said angrily while holding the spoon, and a few grains of rice sprayed on my face.
I wiped my face, continued to eat the rice I brought, and said vaguely: "What else can I do? Ye Lan's aunt doesn't even have a shadow, who should I ask to apologize to me?"
"Did the person who took Ye Lan's wallet and spent so much money get caught?"
"I don't know, they let me go home first."
"Doesn't that kind of card have a password? Except Ye Lan, who knows the password? Ye Lan should know the person who spends the money, maybe Ye Lan asked them to spend it!" Dong Shan muttered, I held The hand with the chopsticks suddenly froze.
She was right, I obviously returned the wallet to Ye Lan, if Ye Lan didn't give it to someone else, then the wallet was stolen.But how can the thief know the password of the credit card?So Ye Lan took the initiative to give it to others, who can make Ye Lan take the initiative to give these things?
I quickly thought of Pu Zhizhi, is she the one who spent so much money?How did she spend so much money in such a short period of time?
"Zhao Linger!"
While meditating, I suddenly heard someone calling my name.I looked up in amazement, and saw a girl with a ponytail holding a meal, standing in the aisle of the cafeteria and looking at me with a smile.
I think that girl looks familiar, but I can't call her name for a while.She came over with the food, sat down in the empty seat next to us, and said enthusiastically, "Zhao Linger, don't you remember me? I'm Pu Yixin, we have physical education class together."
"Oh, I remember you." Hearing her say that, I immediately remembered who she was.
Dong Shan on the opposite side looked at her in surprise, then turned her head and asked me: "Who is she?"
I briefly told Dong Shan about my acquaintance with Park Yixin, and Dong Shan nodded in understanding, then turned to ask Park Yixin, "What class do you belong to?"
"Class nine." Park Yixin replied with a smile.
As soon as I heard "Class Nine", I immediately thought of Ye Lan, who is also in Class Nine.
"You and Ye Lan are in the same class!" Dong Shan said in surprise before I could speak.
Hearing Ye Lan's name, Park Yixin froze for a moment, nodded quickly, and asked, "Do you know Ye Lan?"
I didn't say anything, Dong Shan glanced at me, and said with a laugh: "Isn't he quite famous recently, so I just asked casually."
"Oh, you're talking about him and Zhizhi!" Park Yixin said understandingly.
"Zhizhi?" I repeated her address to Pu Zhizhi in surprise, and suddenly felt something.
"Yeah, we are relatives! But we don't get along very often. Zhizhi and Ye Lan should have known each other when they were in kindergarten. I went to Zhizhi's house when I was young, and Ye Lan's mother hadn't passed away at that time. They live in the same building as Zhizhi's family, right across the door. Zhizhi and I went to visit him to play, but he didn't like to talk since he was a child, and he ignored other people, and occasionally chatted with Zhizhi a few times In a word. Later, because my family and Zhi Zhi's family had less contact, I rarely went to her house." Park Yixin explained.
Dong Shan and I nodded and continued eating.
In fact, whether it's Ye Lan, or Pu Zhizhi and Pu Yixin, their family affairs have nothing to do with us, so there's no need to know too much.
"Zhao Linger, I heard that you are working part-time, can you take me with you?" Park Yixin asked suddenly.
Both Dong Shan and I looked at her in surprise.
"Part-time job? We didn't do part-time jobs!" Dong Shan said.
The smile on Park Yixin's face couldn't hold back, and her expression became awkward: "No, they said that you are setting up a street stall to sell small things. After I heard about it, I also want to set up a street stall with you. I don't think there is any shame in this Yes, my family is not very well off, so I want to find something to do to lighten the burden on my family."
"It's nothing to be ashamed of. Someone must be talking about us. I knew that He Shuang and the others would talk nonsense at school after seeing it." Dong Shan said angrily.
"Mouths grow on them, let them talk." I took a sip of the soup, put away the thermos, and saw that Park Yixin was still looking at us expectantly.
"We can't guarantee 100% profit. There are risks in setting up a stall. When you are unlucky, you will encounter urban management. It is also common to lose goods. You can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly. You can't tell if you are suffering. So you have to think clearly before looking for it. Let's go!" I said to Park Yixin, then nodded to Dong Shan, indicating that we should go.
"I don't know if it's the second He Shuang." Dong Shan muttered, and then followed.
Park Yixin bit her lip and stood there, holding her chopsticks, not knowing what to say.
When I returned to the classroom from the cafeteria with the thermos, I found that the students in the class looked at me strangely.In fact, I found out when I came to school in the morning. Everyone pointed at me and said something in private.
Several times during breaks, many students surrounded Jin Ju and Mo Yangyang's desks.Although I didn't hear what they were talking about specifically, I saw people looking back at me several times, and I guessed that it should be about the "shameful thing" about me and Dong Shan setting up a street stall.
Many people are used to asking their families for money, and many people's parents have decent jobs, so they think it's embarrassing for us to set up street stalls during weekends.But they don't know that it is actually a very glorious thing to earn money with their own hands, buy what they want, and live the life they want.
They hadn't tried, so they mistook glory for shame.
After all, they are just a group of people spoiled by a superior life.
(End of this chapter)
01
"Spirit ear!"
After school, all the other students went out for dinner, Ji Hang suddenly appeared at the door of our classroom and waved to me.
I sat in my seat, stopped opening the thermos, and felt that many students looked back at me at the door.I pursed my lips, bit the bullet and walked out.
"Hello, Teacher Ji."
"Mr. Ji."
……
Some students who took Ji Hang's yoga class were busy greeting her, but Ji Hang just nodded with a smile, then turned his eyes to me and said, "Linger, I have something to tell you."
She called me "Ling'er" instead of "Zhao Ling'er". Others sensed the difference between the two, and looked at us curiously, as if wondering what the relationship between Zhao Ling'er and Teacher Ji was.
I followed Ji Hang out of the classroom and remained silent all the way.Ji Hang took me to the end of the corridor, and there was no one there.
"Linger, take the money back. I don't want your money to help you settle He Shuang, but I just hope you are well."
Ji Hang took out 100 yuan from her rose-colored leather bag and stuffed it into my hand. I secretly put this money in the drawer of her desk when no one was looking.
I turned sideways, avoided her very quickly, did not take the money, and raised my head to look at Ji Hang who was wearing exquisite makeup.
"Mr. Ji, first of all, I don't think you are doing me a favor by looking for He Shuang. If you go to He Shuang secretly, doesn't it mean that you don't trust me at all? You think what He Shuang said is right. Liar. Secondly, I don't need your help at all, who are you to me, why do you do those things on your own? If I say that I don't owe He Shuang money, are you going to give her money? "
"In fact, you lied. You did take her money and didn't pay it back, didn't you?" Ji Hang seemed to be annoyed by my words, and said to me in a cold voice for the first time.
I sneered, looked at her face that was finally no longer hypocritical, and replied: "You have evidence to prove that He Shuang is right, am I lying? Last time in the office, the teachers already believed me, you Why should you doubt me? Do you think that I am a bad person in the bottom of your heart? Teacher Ji, why are you at ease? "
"Zhao Linger, don't go too far! Do you know how vitriolic what you said just now? If your Uncle Lin knew you were like this, what would he think? If it wasn't for your Uncle Lin's face, you thought I want to take care of your business? They are also adopted, and your aunt Jian Lening's personality is not like yours. Forget it, just treat me as if I have nothing to do, and I will never take care of your business in the future. " Ji Hang said excitedly with a black face.
I looked at her coldly, clenched my fists and said, "Lin Jiarui told you that I was adopted? Who is he to me? Who wants him to talk too much about my affairs? Also, Teacher Ji, no one stipulates adoption What kind of personality should a child have!"
I deliberately called her Mr. Ji, but Lin Jiarui just called her by her first name.This makes me feel that Lin Jiarui and I are equal, and she is someone who has nothing to do with us.Even though I am very angry with Lin Jiarui now, I still can't help but secretly compete with Ji Hang.
I was adopted, which is something very few people know.After all, it was because I ran away from home when I learned the truth when I was eight years old, so the adults felt that my heart was not as strong as Aunt Le Ning's, and I couldn't bear those gossips.So my mother won't let anyone mention to me that I was adopted. If anyone makes a fuss about it, my mother will definitely be angry.
In fact, I'm not as vulnerable as they think. I really don't like people making fun of my life experience, but that doesn't mean I don't want to face up to this fact.
But it was a wound after all, it was the wound I was scratched from the moment I was born, even if it doesn't matter anymore, it still hurts when someone touches it.
I think Aunt Le Ning is the same as me in this regard.Those who have said to us "little eyes, do you know that you were brought back by your mother" and "little ears, you are not born to your mother" to us just for fun, or with some kind of irony in mind, Never know how cruel they are.
What made me angry was not that Ji Hang said I was adopted, but that Lin Jiarui even told her about it.
"Yes, I am indeed not as good as Aunt Le Ning. I have grown up, and I have never met anyone who is better than her, including you. Since you know Aunt Le Ning, you should also know that the person Lin Jiarui loves the most is my aunt Jane. Le Ning, not you."
I will never be as kind as my Aunt Le Ning. After she was injured, she would only choose someone to heal those wounds silently.I am not, whoever hurts me, I will definitely fight back.
"Linger, who told you these things?" Ji Hang looked at me in panic, as if she wanted to gag me, she pulled me into a corner, and said almost warningly, "Linger, don't say these words You said it in front of Uncle Lin. Your aunt has always been a wound in his heart, and he will be sad if you tell him these words. "
I suddenly realized something, smiled and pushed Ji Hang's hand away, and looked at her mockingly.
"Mr. Ji, you don't love Lin Jiarui, do you? So even if you hear that he doesn't love you, you don't have any reaction." I told the secret I discovered, and Ji Hang's face seemed to be torn apart, very ugly, "You guys are ridiculous. You can still be together if you don't love each other. You pretend to be in love and talk about marriage. It's unreasonable!"
I laughed exaggeratedly, and stared at Ji Hang fiercely, with disgust and sympathy in my eyes.
"What do you know? Two people don't have to love each other when they are together. If you are tired of love, just find a suitable person to be together for a while, so that everyone will not be tired." Ji Hang said.
"Maybe I don't understand, but I know that if it was my Aunt Le Ning, she would not give up. Otherwise, she would not go to Xu Yan, but be with Lin Jiarui or Qi Xuan. Happiness is definitely not You can get it soon, unless that happiness is fake."
After I finished speaking sharply, I ignored Ji Hang and ran back to my classroom.
Until the moment I entered the door, I saw Ji Hang standing in place like a wooden figure, and she was alone at the end of the corridor, feeling a little lonely for no reason.
What have I done?After hurting Lin Jiarui, he destroyed Ji Hang's belief in happiness.
Zhao Linger, you really are not as good as Jian Lening.
02
After going back, I was no longer in the mood to continue eating.I put the thermos back on and put it in the drawer, put my hands in the pockets of my school uniform, and walked out of the classroom with my head down.
There is still some time before the evening self-study, and there is nothing urgent to do, so I want to go out to relax and see if Dong Shan is in the classroom by the way.I am in class [-], she is in class [-], there are two places on one floor, one at the end and the other at the end.
I shrank my neck and walked westward, passing the classroom of Dong Shan and her class, and stopped to have a look.I found that she was not there, so I walked to the stairs beside me, preparing to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of water.
On the way to the supermarket, a familiar figure suddenly broke into my sight, and I subconsciously slowed down.
"Squeaky, here."
At the entrance of the supermarket, the boy had a flattering expression on his handsome face. He unscrewed the cap of the milk in his hand and handed it to a petite girl beside him.
Isn't that boy Ye Lan whom I've been looking for but have no time to look for?Isn't this girl Pu Zhizhi, the sophomore in our school?
It is rumored that Pu Zhizhi looks like a certain girl in South Korea's "Girls' Generation". I don't like to watch entertainment gossip, so I don't know who she looks like.Anyway, she was the kind of girl with an awl-shaped face, a straight nose bridge, bright eyes and white teeth, and long black hair.Each of our grades has its own grade flower. The third grader is Pan Shuangshuang, who looks like Audrey Hepburn and is of mixed race.Pu Zhizhi is in the second grade. I remember that when she first entered school, our school caused a great sensation because of her, and students from other grades went to see her.
Pu Zhizhi became popular as soon as he entered this school.
"Brother Ye Lan, I still want to eat Uha candy." Pu Zhizhi took a sip of milk and said winking at Ye Lan.
As soon as Pu Zhizhi finished speaking, Ye Lan patted her head in a daze, and walked into the supermarket with a smile.Seeing him leave, Pu Zhizhi smiled like a flower, and ran towards the other direction with the bottle of milk. Several well-known boys in school were standing there waiting for her.
"Zhizhi, we've been waiting for you for a long time! You're leaving, isn't that idiot in a hurry?"
"I'll explain it to him later. Are you playing basketball today? I want to see it!"
"Which day won't you fight? I'll wait for you."
"Ah."
……
Putting his hands on the shoulders of the two boys, Pu Zhizhi followed them away with a smile.
I watched them go to the playground, and then looked back at the supermarket. I saw Ye Lan, who had gone back and forth, was holding a large box of Uha candy in his hand, looking around blankly, obviously looking for someone.
Looking at his innocent and innocent appearance, I really don't know how to feel.If other boys were played like this, I would definitely laugh at them for being stupid.But facing Ye Lan, I couldn't laugh.He is indeed stupid to a certain extent, even the boys who are with Pu Zhizhi call him a fool, but I know that he is just simple, not stupid.
When I thought of how coquettishly Pu Zhizhi was asking Ye Lan for candy just now, I felt inexplicably sick to my stomach.
I walked towards Ye Lan, pretending not to see him, and the moment I passed him, I deliberately knocked over the box of Uha candy in his hand.
The sugar fell on the ground and was scattered all over the place.Ye Lan's whole heart was on the candy, she didn't even notice me, she just focused on picking up the candy.
Seeing his anxious look, I suddenly felt a little unbearable.
"Ye Lan!" I yelled.
He didn't hear it and was still picking up candy.
I held my breath in my chest and couldn't feel comfortable attacking it, so I stretched out my foot and kicked his upturned buttocks.
"Hey! Ye Lan!"
Maybe this kick was too hard, Ye Lan didn't pay attention, and threw herself on the ground.If he hadn't stretched out his hand to support the ground in time, his face would probably be wiped off the ground.
Ye Lan angrily got up from the ground, frowning and looking at me.The moment he saw me, he was visibly taken aback.After a while, he said to me a little aggrieved: "Ear, why did you kick me?"
"I called you several times, but you didn't hear me."
"Then you can't kick me either. I'll go first, and I'm going to deliver candy." Ye Lan was different from the last time he saw me. This time, he didn't seem to care about me.
He bent down to pick up the remaining candies and put them back into the box. When he was about to leave, I reached out and grabbed his down jacket hat that was exposed outside the school uniform.
"Pu Zhizhi left with others, you give me the candy." After finishing speaking, I made a gesture to snatch the candy from Ye Lan's hand.
He hid the box behind him, refused to give it to me, and asked me naively: "Who did Zhizhi go with?"
"Three men." I replied truthfully.
Ye Lan's eyes dimmed, and he remained silent. He stuffed the candy box that was hidden behind him into my arms, turned his head and left.I don't know who made him unhappy, I always feel that there is something wrong between Ye Lan and that Pu Zhizhi.
Before Ye Lan could take a few steps, I caught up with the candy box and grabbed him.
"Ye Lan, let's talk."
Ye Lan looked back at me in amazement, no matter whether he wanted to or not, I directly dragged him to a place with few people.
I can't care about Pu Zhizhi's affairs, I have other things to tell Ye Lan.If I don't meet him this time, I plan to inquire about him in the next few days, because his wallet is still with me.
03
"Ye Lan, this is your wallet. I was in urgent need of money recently, so I took some cash from it, and I took a total of 1000 yuan from you. I used it to pay the tuition fee, and I kept some of it to buy goods. I don't have any of your cards. If you have moved, I will pay you back the borrowed money in two months, and if the business is good, you may be able to pay it back in one month."
I took out the wallet I was carrying with me from the pocket of my school uniform pants, stuffed it into Ye Lan's hand, and explained without any concealment.
Ye Lan held the wallet, looked at me with a blank expression, and muttered: "Ear, if you give it to you, it's yours."
After speaking, he stuffed the wallet into my hand again.
"What do I need your wallet for? Besides, I have almost all the cash in it, and the card needs a password, so it's useless to give it to me. Okay, Ye Lan, thank you for helping me this time, but this wallet I really can't have it."
"Do you want a password?" Ye Lan asked.
He obviously misinterpreted me, I don't want his money at all.
"Nine four zero five two one." Ye Lan said very quickly.
Seeing his defenseless appearance towards me, it was impossible for me not to be moved.However, I will not take the money.
"Ye Lan, I know, you were angry with your aunt when you gave me your wallet last time. But I didn't do anything for you, so I shouldn't take your money. Take your wallet back, and I will take back the borrowed money. I will return it to you as soon as possible. Anyway, you were brave enough in front of your aunt that day, and you are worthy. Don’t worry, I will not tell your aunt that you gave me the wallet and took it back. I will not let you lose face of."
Ye Lan was silent, and when I thought he was going to stay silent for a long time like before, Ye Lan said slowly: "Ear, auntie's words are unpleasant, don't be sad."
I don't know why, when I heard Ye Lan say this, I couldn't help my nose panting.He actually knew that his aunt's words hurt me that day.
"I don't even know who she is, how dare you give her wallet to others?"
This is what Ye Lan's aunt said in front of me that day. Can I say that I was stabbed at that moment?I hate it when she talks like that, like everyone is after their family's money.It is true that I am dressed too casually, and I am indeed not of the same social level as them, but can you stop saying such discriminatory words?
Whether a person has money has nothing to do with his personality.
However, what shocked me was that Ye Lan was the first person who saw that I was sad, the first person who saw through my disguise and said "Don't be sad" to me directly.Even Lin Jiarui, he only told me to tell me when I was sad, but he didn't know when I was sad.
"No! I didn't hear what your aunt said, what's so sad." I habitually pretended that I was fine, but I didn't expect to be exposed by Ye Lan.
He said: "You are lying, you are not happy, after she said that sentence, your face changed."
At this moment, I really want to go to Pu Zhizhi and those boys and tell them that this is the person you think is a fool, but in fact he is not stupid at all.
"Well, you're right. What your aunt said really irritated me. But it's over, and I don't care about it. You keep the wallet yourself, and I will pay back the borrowed money in it soon. If you feel sorry for me, just give me this box of candy." I hugged the box of Yuha candy and said.
Ye Lan looked at the candy in my hand, neither agreed nor refused, looking in a daze.
I know what he's thinking.
"Ye Lan, do you like Pu Zhizhi?" I asked bluntly.
Ye Lan's eyes flickered for a moment, he raised his head to look at me, pouted and said, "Zhizhi doesn't seem to like me."
I felt a little unbelievable, and couldn't help saying for a while: "So you can see it too!"
Ye Lan glanced at me faintly, and fell silent again.
"Ye Lan, why did you come to our school?" I suddenly asked such a question.
"Zhizhi is here." Ye Lan replied without hesitation.
Sure enough, upon hearing this answer, I don't know whether to be happy for Ye Lan or worried.
It's a very happy thing to see someone I like when I come here, but when I think of Pu Zhizhi and those boys laughing at Ye Lan behind their backs just now, I feel very uncomfortable.
In fact, Pu Zhizhi is not suitable for such a simple Ye Lan.
But this is Ye Lan's private matter after all, and I can't say anything, so I quickly bypassed the topic and chatted with Ye Lan casually.Most of the time, I was the one who was talking, he kept silent, and I was not very interested, so I quickly ended the topic, dropped my wallet, and left with the Yuha candy he originally bought for Pu Zhizhi.I even forgot that I came down to buy water, so I went upstairs and returned to the classroom.
Ye Lan came up with me. It turned out that he was in the same grade as me. He was in Class [-] of Science and separated from me on the second floor.
I was afraid that Ye Lan would have any opinion on me, so when we parted, I emphasized to him again that I would pay him back the money as soon as possible.
Ye Lan was still thinking about Pu Zhizhi, and he didn't seem to hear me. I had already climbed to the third floor, and he came out belatedly and shouted: "Ear, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing."
I smiled lightly and left with my things in my arms.
Most of the time, others may not care about what you care about, just like Ye Lan and me.Ye Lan came to this school because of Pu Zhizhi, so he cares about everything about Pu Zhizhi; but I am not, I don't care about Pu Zhizhi, I only care about whether I will be cared by someone I want to care about people misunderstand.Well, it turns out that in my heart, Ye Lan is already different from other people.I consider him a friend, and he's one of the rare people I've ever had a good relationship with at this school.

From that day on, I haven't met Ye Lan for several days.The graduating class is too busy with studies. In addition to the endless test papers, there are also various wrong questions that can't be corrected.Except for class time, I usually stay in the classroom during the short 10 minutes of recess.If it is not deliberately looking for it, it is too difficult to have a chance encounter like before.
I don't have anything to go to Ye Lan, and Ye Lan naturally won't come to me, he is busy chasing Pu Zhizhi.
I don't know how Ye Lan and Pu Zhizhi met, and what kind of friendship they have. Anyway, gossip is always the fastest spread in school.Ye Lan himself is different from ordinary students, and Pu Zhizhi, who gets along with him, is one of the school's influential figures, so within a few days, a new third-year idiot was chasing Pu Zhizhi's news Word spread quickly.
I heard that the idiot is called Ye Lan, he looks good, and there is nothing abnormal on the surface, but he doesn't like to deal with others.His parents asked the teacher to take special care of Ye Lan. Someone overheard the conversation of the teachers and learned that Ye Lan had autism.
Oh, it turns out that his appearance is called autism!Isn't that the same for Zhao Ling'er from Class [-], who is alone on weekdays and doesn't talk to anyone, so she can't be sick, right?
I don't know how the news got involved in me. For the first time, I knew that I was actually a strange person in the eyes of my classmates.
When Dong Shan told me about these gossips on Saturday, I smiled disapprovingly: "It's their business to say what they like. I know best if I have autism. If I really have autism, That's good, you can become innocent and ignorant like Ye Lan, so you can save a lot of trouble."
"Linger, do you know that Ye Lan?" Dong Shan asked me with her head tilted.
"Well, but I'm not very familiar, I've only met a few times."
"How did you meet? I heard that he is very strange, is it true?"
Dong Shan pestered me curiously, but I had no choice but to tell the story of how Ye Lan and I met, which was still a follow-up story triggered by the three-dollar omelette incident.
I told Dong Shan everything about me and Ye Lan from the first time we met to school, but I didn't tell Dong Shan that I borrowed money from Ye Lan's wallet.
Dong Shan always thought that our new purchase was purchased with my college savings, and she didn't know that my dad owed a lot of gambling debts and stole my passbook.
I don't think it's necessary to tell others about those things, after all, it's not a good thing.
"Oh, that's right! Hearing what you said, I think Ye Lan is quite pitiful. His stepmother is so hateful! He has autism and doesn't know how to get along with others. He must be very lonely. Maybe Pu Zhizhi He is his rare friend, so he likes to pester Pu Zhizhi. I think Ye Lan is quite careless." Dong Shan said to me while arranging the things on the shelves.
"Ye Lan doesn't care about anyone, except his aunt."
"That's right." Dong Shan said empathetically.
The topic did not continue because a customer came.Today's luck is relatively good. Since the first business was made, the following business has almost never been interrupted.We're all so busy with business that we don't have time for chatting.We were busy until one o'clock in the afternoon, and Dong Shan and I had time to catch our breath and have lunch.
"The business on this street is good, let's come here again in the future!" Dong Shan said as she took a bite of her finger cake.
I looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, shook my head, and said, "I guess it won't last long here. Once the department store over there opens, few people will come to buy street stalls."
"Our things are cheaper than those in the mall!"
"That department store was originally aimed at the middle and lower class people, and you can bargain inside, not much more expensive than ours." I continued.
Dong Shan sighed and lowered her head helplessly.
"It's really hard to make money." After eating, Dong Shan couldn't help sighing.
I smiled and comforted me: "Don't worry, this is just a part-time job. I believe we won't do this all the time. When we are admitted to university, we will definitely find a decent job after graduation."
"Yes, these are just extra money. If I do this all my life, I will be worthless." Dong Shan agreed, and suddenly thought of something, grinned and said, "However, our profit is not bad, it seems There are many college students who have just graduated to work, and their salaries are not as much as we earn."
"Which line of work does not distinguish between high and low wages? How much money you make depends on your own ability. Let's not talk so far, let's do what is in front of us first!" I threw the garbage into a plastic bag beside me, and patted Dong Shan's face. Shoulder encouraged.
It was busy again. I thought that this day would pass without incident like the previous days, but I didn't expect that God was very keen on joking with us.
This time I didn't meet the city management, but met someone more troublesome than the city management.
"Zhao Linger? Why are you here? Are you setting up a street stall here?" A surprised female voice came from not far away. Dong Shan and I looked up and saw a few girls walking towards us.
A few of them are familiar to me.
One is the kumquat that bumped into me in the carport last time, and the friend of the kumquat who is also in our class - Mo Yangyang.The other two are from the [-]th class next door, and one of them is He Shuang who had a dispute with us before and told me never to see each other again.Unexpectedly, only a few days later, we met again; the other one was from He Shuang's class, and he took Taekwondo class with me.
"Why are you surprised? Don't you know that Zhao Linger in your class has been setting up a street stall for a while?" He Shuang said talkatively.
"Go and see what they are selling." Kumquat curiously dragged the others to our booth, picking up the jewelry on our shelf with a few hands.
"These are all imitated jewelry from magazines, isn't it against the law?" someone shouted, Kumquat and the others held the jewelry and looked at us inquiringly.
"There are a lot of these things on Qipu Road. If it's a crime, the police can't catch them all." Dong Shan said in a bad tone because she couldn't understand how they messed up the things on the stall.
Sensing that Dong Shan was angry, Kumquat and the others resentfully threw the things in their hands on the stall, looking very disdainful.
"Just talking casually, is it necessary to be so fierce?" Mo Yangyang curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.
Both Dong Shan and I heard it, and so did the others.Dong Shan wanted to say something else, so I grabbed her and signaled her to forget it.
"Let's go, don't you want to go to KTV to sing? What's there to see?" He Shuang urged, holding Jinju's hand.
Kumquat asked He Shuang curiously: "Didn't you say last time that you started a small business with someone else? What happened afterwards?"
Dong Shan and I looked towards He Shuang subconsciously, and found that she was also looking at us.I thought that He Shuang would talk about our previous conflicts and ask her friends to take the lead for her, but what I didn't expect was that she just took a look at us and changed the topic.
"I didn't do it later. I'm so busy studying, how can I have time to do this? Let's go."
"That's right, it's not that your family doesn't have money, so there's no need to do these things." Someone echoed.
"I think it's embarrassing for them to set up a stall, standing there all day long to please customers, just for the few dollars."
"Speak less, all of you! Are you going to sing again?"
"He Shuang, why are you in a hurry? It's not that you don't want to sing!"
……
The group of people came chirping like sparrows, and then left chirping.Say a few taunts about us and walk away feeling good about yourself.
"Linger, I found that compared with those girls, He Shuang seems to be less annoying, mainly because the others are more annoying." After they left, Dong Shan complained to me.
I pursed my lips and didn't speak.
What they said was nothing more than irrelevant things. We use our spare time to earn our own money, do not steal or rob, keep ourselves safe, and work hard for our lives and future dreams. There is nothing wrong with that.They have money to spend singing and squandering, but we have no money, so setting up street stalls here is all about living their own lives. Why do we have to step on other people's shoulders to improve our status?
"Let's do our own thing, let them talk about it." I comforted Dong Shan, then raised my head to look at the sky.Looking at the blue sky, I took a deep breath, automatically filtered out those unpleasant words, and continued to wait for our new guests.
05
When a group of policemen found me, Dong Shan and I had just finished dinner and were walking towards our community when we saw a group of people running towards us.Soon, we were surrounded, and we don't know why.
"What are you doing? Why are you surrounding us? Linger!"
Dong Shan shouted anxiously, and I also looked at the people in police uniforms who surrounded me inexplicably.
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked in surprise.
"Zhao Ling'er, right? We'll find out when we go back to the police station." One of the policemen said.
Then I was taken into a police car. Dong Shan was worried and insisted on following, but the police didn't drive her off.
Only me was arrested, but Dong Shan was not arrested. Thinking about it, I know it wasn't because of our street stall.But apart from this, I can't think of any other reason.
I don't recall doing anything against the law.When I got to the police station and saw the so-called reporter, I realized that some people just had nothing to do when they were full.
"Auntie, what do you mean?" I asked the well-dressed woman sitting on the chair.
Ye Lan’s aunt gave me a disdainful look, and said to the police, “That’s her! Last time my son’s wallet was in her hands. Not only is more than 1000 yuan in cash missing from the wallet, but several credit cards have also been stolen. A lot of money was swiped. I had someone check it, and the missing amount was [-]. My son is autistic, and he has a certificate issued by the hospital, and he is simple in nature and easy to be deceived, so I suspect Zhao Linger took advantage of my son's kindness to cheat the money."
After Ye Lan's aunt finished speaking with a serious expression, I found that everyone looked at me accusingly, even Dong Shan who was beside me looked at me in shock.
"Linger, is what she said true?" Dong Shan asked me in astonishment.
"I didn't. I returned the wallet to Ye Lan a few days ago. I didn't swipe any card except to ask him to borrow 1000 yuan in cash. And Ye Lan knew about the borrowed money. I borrowed it urgently. I said I would return it to him within two months." I defended myself with a trembling voice.
This time I'm not lying, I really didn't use those cards.
"It's not you, who could it be? You and Ye Lan have touched the wallet. Leaving aside the cash, Ye Lan never knows how to swipe the card. How could the card in the wallet be swiped?" Ye Lan's aunt asked me aggressively. .
"I didn't take it, so I didn't take it! Isn't there a record of swiping the card? You can check the bank records and you will know! Who swiped the card, you will know once you check it? Did I return the wallet to Ye Lan? Ye Lan It’s the clearest, just call him over and ask!” I roared excitedly.
I'm really fed up with this woman who wronged me for defrauding Ye Lan of money a few years ago, and now she's doing the same thing again.Doesn't she not love Ye Lan?Why are you so fussy about Ye Lan's money?Oh, by the way, what she loves most is Ye Lan's father's money, and Ye Lan's father's money is also hers.
"Ye Lan has autism, what proof can he have?" Ye Lan's aunt refused decisively.
I thought her self-righteous face was really disgusting, so I said angrily: "It's true that Ye Lan has autism, but he's just not good at communicating with others. It's not because of his brain problems or low IQ. Why can't he do Is it because you feel from the bottom of your heart that I cheated him of his money, so you don’t let him testify? Or are you afraid that he will know that you are investigating his wallet and consumption records behind his back, and come to report the crime and get angry with you? ah?"
I expressed the concerns in her heart, and sure enough, her face became ugly.
"What do you know? You bitch is so stubborn! Why don't you police lock her in?"
"There is a process for filing a case. First of all, you did not give clear evidence when you reported the case, so we can only keep Zhao Linger to understand the situation. Just like Zhao Linger said, we need to check Ye Lan's credit card consumption records. Follow up. Of course, if Ye Lan just has communication difficulties and his IQ is fine, we still hope that he can testify." The policeman sitting opposite Ye Lan's aunt explained.
"Then why don't you check the records?" Ye Lan's aunt said impatiently.
Several police officers smiled wryly and left.I was driven to a bench beside me, and Dong Shan followed me and stood beside me with a serious expression on her face.
I smiled at her and said "it's okay", and her face softened a little.
Ye Lan's aunt went out to make a phone call. Her voice was not low, and we could hear it even inside.The person talking to her should be Ye Lan's father, because most of what she said was that Ye Lan's money was cheated, Ye Lan didn't listen to her, and so on.It is said that there are few good stepmothers, especially those from rich families. I feel a little sympathetic to Ye Lan.
"You don't have evidence, so you can't arrest me casually. This violates my legal rights. When can I leave?" After a stalemate for a while, I couldn't help but speak to a policeman not far away.
The policeman came over, glanced at me, and said with a smile: "It's still in the investigation stage, so you can work harder and cooperate with our investigation!"
I sighed helplessly, fell silent, and thought I was unlucky.
We were taken to the police station at about five o'clock, and I was not released until after ten o'clock in the evening.After Dong Shan's mother and my mother came home from get off work, they didn't see us both, so they called to inquire.I didn't want my mother to know about this, so I asked Dong Shan to tell my mother that I was staying at her house tonight; and Dong Shan was asked by me to go back first, otherwise it would be difficult for her mother to explain.I can only hope that my mother won't call Dong Shan's mother to verify, or that I will have been released by the time they talked about it.
"Then I'll be leaving first, Linger. Call me when you get home. If there's anything wrong, call me or your mother, or we'll all be worried." Before she left, Dong Shan ordered I.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." I reassured.
After Dong Shan left, I stayed in the police station for a long time.Meanwhile, Ye Lan's aunt went home first and asked the police to notify her when they had any news. As a "suspect", I had no choice but to stay in the police station.
At night, there are fewer and fewer people in the police station, and it is very quiet.Even though I was very tired, I still didn't feel sleepy at all.
I prayed in my heart that when the dawn came, I could return to my previous life again.
I laughed at myself and said: "This is just a joke that fate played with me."
06
I don't know when I fell asleep, I only know that I was woken up by the police in the early morning of the next day.
"Zhao Ling'er, you can leave. We investigated overnight and found out that it was not you who swiped those cards. You can leave." Someone patted my shoulder and said in a gentle tone with a smile.
Hearing such news, I don't know what to say.I knew earlier that the person swiping the card was not me, but I still stayed in the police station all night.Ye Lan's aunt hasn't shown up since she left, so that's the end of the oolong she directed?
"Then did you find out who swiped those cards? Did they get caught?" I asked a lot.
The policeman who was talking to me showed an embarrassed expression, and quickly said with a smile: "I am not in charge of these things. There are special people in charge. You should go home quickly. You are quite tired after sitting here all night. The person who reported the case was really serious. I didn’t see her coming to say sorry to you. Anyway, as long as you pay back the money you borrowed from Ye Lan, you won’t be in any trouble. Of course, if Ye Lan doesn’t want you to pay back the money, you can No problem. This is all your own business, you can go!"
In this way, I was inexplicably arrested and taken to the police station, and then released in such a muddled manner.
When I stood up from the stool, my feet were numb, and it took a long time before I had the strength to walk out.
I moved my limbs, took out my phone from my pocket and looked at it, it was only past seven in the morning.It is estimated that Dong Shan has not woken up yet, so I sent her a text message to report that she is safe, thinking that she will be able to see it when she wakes up.
After sending the text message, I didn't go far, so I sat at the breakfast stall near the police station for a while, ordered a basket of small soup dumplings, and played with my phone while eating.After such an unusual night, I was eager to find someone to talk to.
I flipped through the few contacts on my phone, but in the end I didn't know who to call, so my finger landed on my mother's number, and somehow I dialed it.
Mom's voice has always been busy, and she has already gone to work at this time.
"Linger, you've woken up! Aunt Xiaofang said that you were noisy last night, don't do it in the future. Your Aunt Le Ning sent you some things, and I put them on your bed. That's it, mom first Going to work."
Before I could say anything, my mother hung up the phone quickly, she seemed very busy.
Thinking of what she said, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth.Dong Shan must have also thought that her mother would tell my mother about that matter, and she was afraid that the fact that I didn't go to her house would be exposed, so she found someone else to pretend to be me.Aunt Xiaofang is Dong Shan's mother. She often works night shift and comes home very late.If she didn't deliberately go to Dong Shan's room to watch after she got home, as long as the person pretending to be me didn't show her face in front of her, it shouldn't be revealed.Otherwise, Aunt Xiaofang wouldn't have told my mother that.
I stared at the phone in a daze, but I really wanted to say "I'm fine" to my mother.
I'm fine, no matter what's going on, I'm feeling fine so far.As long as I persevere, life will not knock me down, and our family will be fine.
When I got home after breakfast, I saw the things Aunt Le Ning had sent me in the bedroom.It was almost the same as what I sent every time in the past, all clothes, pants, shoes, a brand new set, obvious princess style, and food - nutritious calcium tablets, snacks and so on.
I suddenly thought of something, put my hand into the new pair of leather shoes, and sure enough, I took out a red envelope from inside.Looking at the money inside, my nose was sore, and I wanted to cry a little.Aunt Le Ning really loves me. She has always loved me since I was a child.Even though she left with Qixuan later, and ended up not coming back often with Xu Yan in other places, she never forgot me.I can receive things from her every month. She is even more caring than my mother. She will remember to buy me new clothes, food, and give me pocket money.
She has been gone for so many years, and she probably doesn't know that I have long since stopped wearing those sweet princess outfits.Even if I don’t have pocket money, I’m no longer the poor guy who was arrested and sent to the police station for stealing three yuan because I was envious of others eating egg pancakes.I am rich myself, and I work part-time to earn money, but I never tell her this.I thought to myself, in Aunt Le Ning's memory, I was still that childlike Linger, wearing a beautiful princess dress, without worrying about life.
However, people always have to face reality.
Now, Zhao Ling'er in reality is completely different from the little ear in Jian Lening's memory.
07
On Sunday, Dong Shan went to a relative's house, and we didn't set up a stall together.We met again on Monday, when we had lunch together at school.
"They just let you go without apologizing to you?" Dong Shan said angrily while holding the spoon, and a few grains of rice sprayed on my face.
I wiped my face, continued to eat the rice I brought, and said vaguely: "What else can I do? Ye Lan's aunt doesn't even have a shadow, who should I ask to apologize to me?"
"Did the person who took Ye Lan's wallet and spent so much money get caught?"
"I don't know, they let me go home first."
"Doesn't that kind of card have a password? Except Ye Lan, who knows the password? Ye Lan should know the person who spends the money, maybe Ye Lan asked them to spend it!" Dong Shan muttered, I held The hand with the chopsticks suddenly froze.
She was right, I obviously returned the wallet to Ye Lan, if Ye Lan didn't give it to someone else, then the wallet was stolen.But how can the thief know the password of the credit card?So Ye Lan took the initiative to give it to others, who can make Ye Lan take the initiative to give these things?
I quickly thought of Pu Zhizhi, is she the one who spent so much money?How did she spend so much money in such a short period of time?
"Zhao Linger!"
While meditating, I suddenly heard someone calling my name.I looked up in amazement, and saw a girl with a ponytail holding a meal, standing in the aisle of the cafeteria and looking at me with a smile.
I think that girl looks familiar, but I can't call her name for a while.She came over with the food, sat down in the empty seat next to us, and said enthusiastically, "Zhao Linger, don't you remember me? I'm Pu Yixin, we have physical education class together."
"Oh, I remember you." Hearing her say that, I immediately remembered who she was.
Dong Shan on the opposite side looked at her in surprise, then turned her head and asked me: "Who is she?"
I briefly told Dong Shan about my acquaintance with Park Yixin, and Dong Shan nodded in understanding, then turned to ask Park Yixin, "What class do you belong to?"
"Class nine." Park Yixin replied with a smile.
As soon as I heard "Class Nine", I immediately thought of Ye Lan, who is also in Class Nine.
"You and Ye Lan are in the same class!" Dong Shan said in surprise before I could speak.
Hearing Ye Lan's name, Park Yixin froze for a moment, nodded quickly, and asked, "Do you know Ye Lan?"
I didn't say anything, Dong Shan glanced at me, and said with a laugh: "Isn't he quite famous recently, so I just asked casually."
"Oh, you're talking about him and Zhizhi!" Park Yixin said understandingly.
"Zhizhi?" I repeated her address to Pu Zhizhi in surprise, and suddenly felt something.
"Yeah, we are relatives! But we don't get along very often. Zhizhi and Ye Lan should have known each other when they were in kindergarten. I went to Zhizhi's house when I was young, and Ye Lan's mother hadn't passed away at that time. They live in the same building as Zhizhi's family, right across the door. Zhizhi and I went to visit him to play, but he didn't like to talk since he was a child, and he ignored other people, and occasionally chatted with Zhizhi a few times In a word. Later, because my family and Zhi Zhi's family had less contact, I rarely went to her house." Park Yixin explained.
Dong Shan and I nodded and continued eating.
In fact, whether it's Ye Lan, or Pu Zhizhi and Pu Yixin, their family affairs have nothing to do with us, so there's no need to know too much.
"Zhao Linger, I heard that you are working part-time, can you take me with you?" Park Yixin asked suddenly.
Both Dong Shan and I looked at her in surprise.
"Part-time job? We didn't do part-time jobs!" Dong Shan said.
The smile on Park Yixin's face couldn't hold back, and her expression became awkward: "No, they said that you are setting up a street stall to sell small things. After I heard about it, I also want to set up a street stall with you. I don't think there is any shame in this Yes, my family is not very well off, so I want to find something to do to lighten the burden on my family."
"It's nothing to be ashamed of. Someone must be talking about us. I knew that He Shuang and the others would talk nonsense at school after seeing it." Dong Shan said angrily.
"Mouths grow on them, let them talk." I took a sip of the soup, put away the thermos, and saw that Park Yixin was still looking at us expectantly.
"We can't guarantee 100% profit. There are risks in setting up a stall. When you are unlucky, you will encounter urban management. It is also common to lose goods. You can only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly. You can't tell if you are suffering. So you have to think clearly before looking for it. Let's go!" I said to Park Yixin, then nodded to Dong Shan, indicating that we should go.
"I don't know if it's the second He Shuang." Dong Shan muttered, and then followed.
Park Yixin bit her lip and stood there, holding her chopsticks, not knowing what to say.
When I returned to the classroom from the cafeteria with the thermos, I found that the students in the class looked at me strangely.In fact, I found out when I came to school in the morning. Everyone pointed at me and said something in private.
Several times during breaks, many students surrounded Jin Ju and Mo Yangyang's desks.Although I didn't hear what they were talking about specifically, I saw people looking back at me several times, and I guessed that it should be about the "shameful thing" about me and Dong Shan setting up a street stall.
Many people are used to asking their families for money, and many people's parents have decent jobs, so they think it's embarrassing for us to set up street stalls during weekends.But they don't know that it is actually a very glorious thing to earn money with their own hands, buy what they want, and live the life they want.
They hadn't tried, so they mistook glory for shame.
After all, they are just a group of people spoiled by a superior life.
