I sell time in the world

In the coffee shop.

A middle-aged woman in cheongsam sat opposite a young man.

The middle-aged woman stretched out her right hand with a jade bracelet, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a sip.

A bright red lipstick mark was left on the coffee cup.

Putting down the coffee cup, the middle-aged woman looked at the boy with a nervous face and said slowly.

"Xiao Xie, I know you and my daughter have been in love since college."

"Now that we have graduated and are working, we have been together for five years."

"The love in school was beautiful, and I know it, so I never opposed you."

"But now, you have graduated, and you should also understand the gap between you and our Xiaoli."

"Have you ever thought that with your and your family's conditions, it is not appropriate for you to be together?"

Xie Xiaodong's face froze, and his hands on his knees tightly clenched his knees.

"Auntie, what do you mean?"

Zhu Lan smiled slightly and said.

"Xiao Xie, I think what I said is very simple and straightforward, right?"

"You don't have to ask even though you know the answer."

"Forget it, Auntie, I'll just say it straight."

"Xiao Xie, you really don't deserve our Xiao Li!"

Seeing that Xie Xiaodong didn't speak, Zhu Lan continued.

"We are all educated people. We will definitely not do anything that involves physical contact."

"However, I hope that Xiao Xie can be self-aware and leave our Xiao Li as soon as possible."

"Car? No car, no house, no house."

"With your conditions, you can't give anything."

"If you continue to be together, you are harming her."

Hearing this, Xie Xiaodong opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhu Lan, saying in a loud voice.

"Auntie, I will work hard!"

"Help Xiao Li buy a house and a car, we..."

Before Xie Xiaodong finished speaking, Zhu Lan interrupted him directly.

"Work hard? How do you work hard?"

"Even if you graduated from a 1985 university, so what?"

"But there are so many college students now, and many of them are working as waiters?"

"Do you think you can afford a car and a house with the support of other people's families?"

"Although our family is not rich, we can be considered to have no worries about food and clothing."

"The person Xiaoli wants to marry must be of the same social status, right?"

"You can't marry your daughter off to help the poor, right?"

"Xiao Xie, do you think what Auntie said makes sense?"

Xie Xiaodong lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly at Zhu Lan opposite him.

His hands, which were originally placed on his knees, were now tightly clenched.

Let his fists turn white and his veins bulge.

"It makes sense."

Listening to Xie Xiaodong's words, Zhu Lan nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiao Xie, if you really love our Xiaoli, then let go?"

At this point, Zhu Lan moved his arm and took out a bank card from his bag.

After putting it on the table, she pushed it in front of Xie Xiaodong.

"Of course, seeing that you were so good to Xiaoli before, our family will not treat you badly."

"There is 100,000 yuan in this bank card, and the password is the default one, just consider it as compensation for you!"

Zhu Lan stood up and continued.

"I have already paid for the coffee."

"Otherwise, these two cups of coffee will cost you another day's salary!"

"By the way, I forgot that you just graduated and haven't found a job yet."

Then, she stepped out of the coffee shop with her long legs.

Xie Xiaodong, who was sitting on the chair, still looked at the bank card on the table with a stern look.

A few minutes later.

Xie Xiaodong suddenly picked up the bank card and threw it to the ground.

In the strange eyes of the people around him, he stepped out of the coffee shop.

But a few seconds later.

Xie Xiaodong turned back and picked up the bank card on the ground.

Putting the bank card on the front desk, Xie Xiaodong spoke.

"This is what the lady just dropped. You should find a way to return it!"

Walking on the sidewalk beside the road.

Xie Xiaodong's mind was constantly recalling what Zhu Lan had just said.

"Are you really not worthy of our Xiaoli?"

"You can't marry your daughter off to help the poor, right?"

"If you really love our Xiaoli, then let her go?"

"."

As Xie Xiaodong kept recalling, his breathing became faster and faster.

Until the end, a hysterical cry came out of Xie Xiaodong's mouth.

"Money, money, money!"

"Can't this world survive without money?"

The passers-by who were still walking behind Xie Xiaodong frowned and slowed down their pace.

However, they didn't say anything to him, but just cast a sympathetic look at Xie Xiaodong.

In the eyes of passers-by, it was obvious that there was another man trapped by money in the world.

Just then.

A series of WeChat message notifications sounded from Xie Xiaodong's pocket.

Xie Xiaodong took out his phone with a bleak expression and took a look. One message after another entered his eyes.

Xiaoli: Let's go eat Italian this afternoon, okay?

Xiaoli: I haven't eaten for a long time, I'm a little greedy. Drooling/jpg

Xiaoli: What are you busy with? Why don't you reply to my message?

Xiaoli: Are you with another woman? Angry/jpg

Looking at these messages, a smile appeared on Xie Xiaodong's face.

Clicking on the virtual keyboard, his mind instantly recalled Zhu Lan's words again.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xie Xiaodong chose to give up.

Just as he was about to put the phone away, a vibration and a ringing sound suddenly rang.

Looking at the person displayed on the screen, Xie Xiaodong became a little hesitant.

But in the end, he still pressed the answer button.

"Hello?"

As soon as Xie Xiaodong's words fell, a female voice roared from the phone.

"Are you so capable now? Huh?"

"You actually saw my message and didn't reply?"

Xie Xiaodong's face froze, and the next moment, he understood why Xiaoli said that.

It must be that Xiaoli had been looking at the screen, and after she clicked on the virtual keyboard, she saw "Inputting" above her name!

Xie Xiaodong did not answer Xiaoli's words, he took a deep breath and said.

"Xiaoli, let's break up!"

"I don't want to be with you anymore"

After speaking, Xie Xiaodong hung up the phone directly.

He walked towards his rental house like a zombie.

He returned to the rental house and lay on the bed that was only 1.5 meters long.

Xie Xiaodong's eyes were fixed on the yellowed and peeling ceiling above.

Bang bang bang~

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

The next second.

A girl's shout came from outside the door.

"Xie Xiaodong, I know you are in there, open the door for me!"

Soon, the girl's voice sounded again.

"What are you looking at? I'm his girlfriend!"

Hearing this voice, Xie Xiaodong just glanced casually without any movement.

Dong dong dong~

The knock on the door sounded again.

"You are pretending to be dead, right?"

"Okay, okay!"

Bang!

As the girl's voice fell, a sound of hitting the wooden door sounded.

Even the door frame was shaking violently.

Xie Xiaodong sighed and got up helplessly and walked over.

As soon as he opened the door, a figure happened to bump into him.

In this unexpected situation, Xie Xiaodong's whole body was knocked to the ground.

Despite this, he still hurriedly hugged the girl in front of him to prevent her from getting hurt.

After falling to the ground, the pain from his back made Xie Xiaodong frown.

Seeing Xie Xiaodong like this, Zhou Lili's eyes were full of heartache.

The next second, Zhou Lili's face turned angry.

She sat directly on Xie Xiaodong and questioned.

"Tell me, why do you want to break up with me?"

"Have I done anything to let you down?"

Xie Xiaodong didn't speak, lying quietly on the floor.

Zhou Lili continued.

"How dare you read my message but not reply?"

"And hang up my phone?"

"If you can't say one, two, three today, look at me. Look at me"

"See if I bite you to death!"

Xie Xiaodong looked at Zhou Lili and said calmly.

"I'm not worthy of you!"

Hearing this, Zhou Lili's face froze instantly.

On the way here, she had thought of thousands of possibilities.

Xie Xiaodong fell in love with another girl.

Or cheated.

Or just like the plot of the TV series, he got cancer and wanted to let go of himself.

But Zhou Lili never thought that Xie Xiaodong would suddenly say such a thing.

After a while.

Zhou Lili thought of something, and she hurriedly spoke.

"Have you seen my mother?"

Xie Xiaodong remained silent, neither refutating nor admitting.

Zhou Lili nodded to herself and said.

"It must be like this!"

"She knew that it wouldn't make sense to tell me, so she came to find you."

"It must be like this!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Lili looked at Xie Xiaodong and said seriously.

"Xie Xiaodong, don't listen to my mother."

"She is a snob, and she has been obsessed with money all her life."

Xie Xiaodong shook his head and said.

"Auntie is right."

"I can't give you anything now."

"Let's just break up!"

Looking at Xie Xiaodong's serious face, Zhou Lili's eyes instantly turned red.

She said quickly.

"No!"

"I don't agree!"

"You said before that you would be with me forever!"

Xie Xiaodong smiled and said.

"I didn't know anything at that time, how could I take it seriously?"

"Now I know that being together is not as simple as just talking!"

Zhou Lili's eyes rolled, and tears immediately rolled down and fell on Xie Xiaodong's body.

"No, no."

"It's not like that."

The next second.

Zhou Lili thought of something in her mind.

She moved her arms and began to take off her clothes.

"Xiaodong, we are together now."

"If we are together, my mother will have nothing to say!"

Looking at the white drum in front of Zhou Lili, it appeared in front of him.

Xie Xiaodong's face changed, and his whole body sat up directly.

He took off Zhou Lili's clothes, which had not been completely removed, and wrapped her completely.

Xie Xiaodong said loudly.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Zhou Lili looked so beautiful that even the makeup on her face was stained with tears.

She choked with sobs.

"I'm not crazy!"

"I just want to be with you."

"After we sleep, if we have a baby, my mother will not let us separate."

Xie Xiaodong's body stiffened suddenly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xie Xiaodong understood that he had hurt Zhou Lili.

But after meeting Zhou Lili's mother Zhu Lan, he realized that he really couldn't give Zhou Lili anything.

The only thing I can give is the most worthless promise

With a movement of his hands, Xie Xiaodong hugged Zhou Lili tightly in front of him.

The only sound left in the whole room was Zhou Lili's sobbing.

After a while.

Zhou Lili's mood finally calmed down a lot.

Xie Xiaodong still hugged Zhou Lili tightly in front of him, and said slowly.

"Xiao Li, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"

Zhou Lili asked.

"any solution?"

Xie Xiaodong let go of Zhou Lili in front of him and said with a smile.

"Let's separate now. When we get home, you also tell Auntie that we have broken up."

"This way, she won't keep making things difficult for you."

"Then, I tried to find a job with a high salary, worked hard to make money as quickly as possible, and bought a car and a house!"

"When I put all this in front of my aunt, she will definitely not stop us anymore."

Looking at Zhou Lili's dubious expression, Xie Xiaodong continued.

"What? With my abilities, you still don't believe me?"

Zhou Lili shook her head and said firmly.

"I trust you!"

"But...how long do you want it?"

"If you keep..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Xiaodong said confidently.

"Five years!"

"Five years at most."

"I will definitely be able to collect the down payment for a house and buy a car."

"When the time comes, I will drive to your house to find you in all my glory!"

"How about it?"

Zhou Lili nodded hesitantly and said.

"All right."

After receiving Zhou Lili's response, Xie Xiaodong felt relieved and said.

"Put your clothes on quickly."

"If others see it, it will be too easy for them."

"I haven't even seen it yet."

Zhou Lili rolled her eyes and said.

"I just showed it to you and you don't want it!"

Xie Xiaodong grinned and said.

"This sacred moment must be saved for the wedding day!"

Zhou Lili was moved when she heard this, and a smile appeared on her face.

Until ten minutes later.

After Xie Xiaodong put Zhou Lily into a taxi, he returned to his rental house.

The confidence and smile on Xie Xiaodong's face were instantly covered by a burst of sadness.

Turning on the computer, Xie Xiaodong logged into the recruitment website and checked the resume responses he had submitted.

"Hello, Mr. Xie, your academic qualifications do not meet our company's recruitment standards. Thank you for submitting your resume."

"Hello sir, our company is recruiting fresh graduates with three years of work experience. You do not meet our company's requirements. I'm sorry."

"Mr. Xie, your academic qualifications are excellent and meet the requirements of our company, but our company is recruiting girls. I'm sorry."

"Mr. Xie, I am HR Huang of the company. I have read your resume. It perfectly meets the requirements of our company. Are you willing to work in our company? The monthly salary is 3,500, 25 yuan, and food and accommodation are not included."
