sleepless tonight

Chapter 100 Hold on
"Why?" Su Ran asked me.

"Not safe." I said.

"Are you still worried about this?" Su Ran was a little surprised.

"People are too beautiful, so you have to be careful not to give them the opportunity to commit crimes." I'm telling the truth.

Su Ran gave me a blank look, as if she disagreed: "Only people like you should be on guard."

I didn't argue. I was caught by Su Ran several times. My arguments were just sophistry, which was unnecessary.

The car beeps for a while, but won't start.

"Out of gas?" I said.

"Yes, maybe it's too cold, I'll try again." Su Ran glanced at the dashboard and tried a few more times.

and still won't start.

"Can I get a taxi around here?" Su Ran gave up and asked me while sitting in the car.

"Difficult." I said, "Take a taxi and go back. What about your car?"

"It's fine to come here tomorrow and drive back, or keep it here until I have time to come and pick it up." Su Ran unbuckled her seat belt, got out of the car, and walked towards the gate of the community.

I followed behind her: "Don't you use a car?"

"I don't just own this car." Su Ran's words made me ashamed.

She still has a car!

There is really no comparison between people.

Can you make so much money at work?This is completely different from the information I have come across. Many people say that working part-time can't afford a house, but Su Ran not only bought a house, but also a car.

Audi A6, hundreds of thousands of cars, and not only this car.

"What's wrong?" Su Ran turned her head and saw that my face was not right, so she gave a caring voice.

"It's nothing." I felt a little powerless, "I just feel that there is a big gap between people. You have a house, a car, and two cars, but I have nothing."

"How about leaving this Audi for you to drive?" Su Ran asked without thinking.

"No, I won't be able to pay for the damage." I shook my head and refused, "Besides, I don't have a driver's license, so I can't drive."

After waiting at the gate of the community for a while, not to mention taxis, even private cars did not come across a few.

Thousands of lights around are celebrating the reunion year.

"I can't wait anymore." Waiting like this is definitely not an option, I said, "Stay in a hotel?"

"No." Su Ran shook her head.

"Then how do we do it?" It's impossible to stand here all the time at night, and it's unrealistic to walk back, so I asked Su Ran for his thoughts.

"Where do you sleep at night?" Su Ran looked at me.

"Home." Su Ran's question made me feel a little strange, "Do you want to sleep with me?"

"Who wants to sleep with you." Su Ran kicked up a handful of snow and splashed it on my shoe, "You sleep on the sofa at night, right?"

There is only such a large area in the house, one bedroom, I am not surprised that Su Ran can think of this: "Well, I slept on the sofa."

"Is it okay for me to stay at your house tonight and sit on the sofa with you?" Su Ran was a little worried, "Does Auntie think I'm casual?"

My mother would definitely not think so, she would only be happy, I shook my head: "No, it's just that it's a bit cold on the sofa, maybe I won't sleep well."

"It's okay." Su Ran didn't mind.

After Su Ran said this, I didn't ask any more questions, and I took her back.

Just like I said, when my mother knew that Su Ran would not go back, and would not go to the hotel, and wanted to sleep with me on the sofa, she was a little flustered with excitement.

The quilts at the bottom of the press box were taken out, new quilts, new sheets and quilt covers were piled up on the sofa.

After doing this, my mother carried Chen Le, who still wanted to watch TV, into the room, and left the space for me and Su Ran.

There are new toiletries at home. After washing, Su Ran sat on the sofa, curled up under the quilt, and watched TV.

"Is it cold?" I also sat aside.

Su Ran shook her head: "I'm a little thirsty."

I poured hot water for her, and added half a cup of cold water to it: "It's not hot, you can drink it."

"Cold." Su Ran looked at me.

I brought the water to her mouth, and only put down the glass after Su Ran finished drinking.

"Sit down too." Su Ran told me.

I sat down next to Su Ran, and my body was also covered with a quilt, which was tightly wrapped like a rice dumpling. The two leaned together, watched the silent TV, and occasionally whispered something.

When I woke up in the morning, Su Ran was gone, and my mother was making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Mom, where is she?" I didn't see Su Ran in the room, so I asked my mother.

"Going back, she said something happened, and told me not to wake you up." My mother came out, mysteriously, "How do you know this girl?"

"The house she bought is next door to the one I rented, so we met like this, what's the matter?" I didn't tell my mother about borrowing rice, for fear that she would worry.

"Treat me well, this girl is nice." My mother said, pausing for a while, "Wang Jun can't let you down, she is also a good girl."

"Bigamy is against the law." I told my mother helplessly, she was more greedy than me.

"I know it's against the law, but you can't let down a good girl." My mother was a little unreasonable.

My relatives are all in my hometown, my family didn't go back, and I didn't have much to do. My mother left a few former friends, so it's a New Year's greeting.

Usually during the Chinese New Year, my family would go back home and bring a lot of things in big and small bags, and it was the same in the third year of high school.

I don't know when I stopped going back to my hometown, but I guess it must have something to do with the changes in my family, otherwise my parents would definitely not go back to their hometown.

No matter how modern the city is, it is not as lively as my hometown.

When people get older, they just want to be lively. People of the older generation also like to save face. If they don't go home all the year round, they will be said to have forgotten their roots.

The temperature has risen, the ice and snow on the road have melted, and the sanitation workers have finally cleared the snow to the suburbs, and the buses have resumed operation.

I went to a steamed vegetable restaurant once, and Chen Wenjing stayed in the shop: "There are no customers, what are you still doing here, why don't you take a good look around and relax?"

From the appearance, it looks like a vase, but when it comes to things, Chen Wenjing is unambiguous at all, which makes me sigh.

Tong Wangjun, Tang Wan, Su Ran, Chen Wenjing, Liu Shuang, these women are all beautiful, but they all work hard, but I look a little out of place.

"There's nothing better, the city is empty." There were no customers in the shop, Chen Wenjing was holding a book in her hand, and there was a cup of instant coffee made by herself on the table, very comfortable.

If it were a different time, I would think that Chen Wenjing is enviable, but now is the time of Chinese New Year, Chen Wenjing is in a foreign land, did not go back to accompany her parents, and is alone guarding the shop, so there is no way to talk about envy.

After chatting with Chen Wenjing for a while, I left the store and walked to Yanhu Park near No. [-] Middle School.

It was bleak, and the lotus leaves by the lake were withered and dejected. Although the vegetation in the park was evergreen all the year round, it couldn't hide the coolness.

The whole city was indeed quiet.

No more anger.

I made a call: "Brother Zheng."

"Chen Jin, do you know?" On the other side of the phone, Zheng Ge was silent for a while, and his words were very low, just like this lake, making people feel sad and lifeless.

"Well, I saw the news." I nodded, "Where are you now?"

Half an hour later, I took a taxi to a group of tombs. The tombstones were stuck in the soil, exuding a strong and dull atmosphere. I saw Brother Zheng at a glance.

The whole cemetery, alone, stands beside a newly erected stone tablet.

"What's the problem?" I walked over and glanced at the name on the tombstone, Zheng Jie, there was a photo on it, she was holding the travel book I gave her, smiling happily.

It was still filmed on the hospital bed.

"Complications, I couldn't get over it." Brother Zheng stared at Zheng Jie's photo, "I didn't tell you, because I felt that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and it was inappropriate."

Zheng Jie left.

I have money and medical means, but I still left after all. I only knew about it after reading the news yesterday.

With money, sometimes not everything can be solved.

"You did your best." I sighed.

It is false that there is no sickness in heaven, and heaven does not know whether it exists or not. Such deceptive words feel false when spoken out.

"Yeah, I tried my best. I thought I could save Xiaojie and snatch her back from the hands of death." Brother Zheng's eyes were swollen, and all his strength seemed to have been drained. His eyes were still fixed on the tombstone. Zheng Jie's photo seemed to be engraved in her mind, "Xiao Jie tried her best, but it was useless. I was by her side, and I couldn't do anything. I could only keep shouting, hold on, hold on."
