After Lin Yu got out of the tattoo studio in shock, he walked around for two more times before heading back. When it was almost dark, he received a call from Guan Xiangmei's driver.
The driver's surname was Li, and she only saw him once the day she got off the plane. The journey from the airport to her new home was quiet and she didn't talk much, but he seemed easy to get along with.
When she received the call, she had just come out of the pharmacy, and there were a lot of various small boxes in the small white plastic bag, and she had a cold, fever and runny nose.
If my brother hates it, I hate it, and I can't really quarrel with him every day.
Lin Yujing hooked his finger on the plastic bag and shook it back and forth, holding the phone to his ear with one hand, without making a sound.
She didn't have many friends in the past, and she was even less distracted. The two younger ones—Lu Jiaheng and Cheng Yi, were the ones who just started talking on their own after getting through with each other, so she habitually waited for the other person to speak first. .
After two seconds of silence, there was still no sound from the other side. After she realized it, she belatedly added hello.
"Hello, hello," the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Miss Lin, I'm Lao Li. I have nothing to do. I just want to ask when you will be back."
"I'll go back right away." Lin Yujing said casually.
There was a pause over there, and then said: "You can send me a location, and I will pick you up. It's getting dark, and the little girl is not familiar with the place, so it's not safe."
Lin Yu was shocked.
She stopped, raised her eyes and scanned the surrounding environment, and said after a long time: "No need, that's too much trouble for you, I'll just go back by myself in a while."
Lao Li smiled and said, "No trouble, no trouble, I'm a driver, that's what I do, or if you take a photo of the neighborhood, I can find it."
Lin Yu lowered her eyes in surprise. The weather here is not only hot, but also wet after the rain, making it difficult for people to get used to it for a while. She agreed, took a photo and sent it after hanging up the phone.
It was not far from home, and within a few minutes, a black Bentley parked on the side of the road.
After glancing at the license plate number, Lin Yujing walked over with the bag in hand, opened the back door and got in.
Lao Li said hello to her, and she bowed slightly: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
On the contrary, Lao Li was a little embarrassed: "No trouble, it should be."
Lin Yujing didn't speak. Looking at the unfamiliar street outside the window, he sneaked a glance at Lao Li who was driving in front of him. He was wearing a very formal white shirt with unwashable yellow cuffs.
There was silence in the car.
Old Li coughed: "School starts the day after tomorrow."
Lin Yu turned around in shock: "Yes."
"Have you bought all the things you need? Just tell me if there is anything missing."
"It's nothing, I bought everything."
"That's good, just tell me if there is anything missing." Old Li repeated.
"Okay," the little girl said softly, "thank you."
The awkward chat is over.
Lin Yujing turned his head again and looked out of the car window. Began to be in a daze.
She was often scolded when she was a child. Lin Zhi was a perfectionist and could not accept any flaws in her body, or in her opinion, her daughter born in October had no advantages at all, everything was wrong, and everything was flawed. It's "just like your dad".
And Meng Weiguo didn't care about her at all.
When she was a child, she would be depressed, she would study hard for exams and hope that Lin Zhi would praise her once, she would feel sad and wronged, and she would hide alone and cry secretly.
Later, I found that habits are really scary. No matter what kind of thing, as long as you get used to it, your body and mind will respond naturally.
Just like she has long been used to being reprimanded by supervisors, bad family relationships and eyes that are never recognized, she can also skillfully deal with Meng Weiguo's indifference, Guan Xiangmei's hypocrisy, Aunt Zhang's defensive and disdainful attitude, and her never-before-seen The indifference and hostility of his older brother.
But she was a little at a loss when faced with the sincere kindness from this elder who was still a stranger.
I'm not used to it, and I'm not very proficient, especially in this environment without a third person, I don't know what to say except thank you.
The car quickly drove into the courtyard and stopped at the door. September was not that long. It was nearly seven o'clock in the evening, and the sky was getting dark. Lin Yujing thanked Lao Li again before getting out of the car, turned around and walked to the door.
Halfway there, I heard a young boy's voice behind me, sounding very impatient: "Why are you so slow?"
Lin Yu turned around subconsciously, and realized that it wasn't for her. She hadn't seen it just now. At some point, there was a boy standing at the gate of the courtyard, walking towards Old Li: "I've been waiting for you for half an hour. I'm starving."
Lao Li smiled: "Hungry? Let's go home. What do you want to eat tonight?"
The floor lamp in the garden emits warm yellow light, reflecting the facial features of the two people who are 70% similar.
The boy didn't notice the gaze from here, and frowned, still unhappy: "I don't want to eat anything, whatever."
Lin Yu turned around in shock, took out the key and opened the door.
The huge house was quiet and silent. Walking through the front hall to the living room, the crystal lights were bright and bright, the TV was on, washed fruits were placed on the coffee table, and there was no one in the sofa.
She suddenly felt very annoyed.
The kind of dazed irritability came without warning, and the reason even she didn't know, it came so suddenly that it even made people a little panicked.
Lin Yu went to the kitchen in shock, took a glass from the cabinet and poured water into it. The cold water flowed down her throat. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood in front of the island with the glass in her hand, looking at her phone for a while before finally Turn around except the kitchen and prepare to go upstairs.
I didn't take two steps just after I came out, when I looked up, I saw someone extra on the sofa.
The man was also looking at her. He was quite handsome, and his eyebrows and eyes were similar to Guan Xiangmei's.
Lin Yujing took about 0.5 seconds to react, and quickly called out, "Brother."
She has not developed any other skills since she was a child, except that her mouth is very sweet, and she can make herself very obedient when necessary.
Sure enough, the corners of the man's mouth were a little stiff, and he seemed to twitch, but he still didn't speak, with a bad expression and defensive eyes.
Lin Yu walked over in shock, took out a small white bag from the bag, put it on the coffee table in front of him, and apologized to him in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I was joking in the afternoon, and I didn't ask you to call the fire department on purpose, but because You said you had a fever of forty degrees..."
"..."
Fu Mingxiu's face turned darker.
Lin Yu acted as if he hadn't noticed it: "Pay attention to your health and drink plenty of water."
Fu Mingxiu: "..."
Fu Mingxiu was so angry that he almost stood up.
"Hot water, I'm sorry." Lin Yujing corrected quickly, looking at his expression cautiously, as if looking at some monster.
The opponent apologized too quickly, and Fu Mingxiu felt that he was so stuck in one breath, unable to get up or down, which made his mother feel even more uncomfortable.
By the time he realized it, Lin Yujing had run upstairs like a rabbit and disappeared. Fu Mingxiu pulled the plastic bag she put down on the coffee table and took a look.
Inside are several boxes of cold medicine and antipyretics.
"..."
He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his mood was very complicated.
Sometimes, some emotions can't be controlled. Although I understand that my unreasonable rejection is unreasonable and inexplicable, I just can't accept it for a while, and I can't develop any good feelings for this airborne sister.
Fortunately, she is not very annoying.
Not annoying enough
It was only the first day, and the fire and water were on.
Fu Mingxiu couldn't think of how to live in the future.
Turning around to confirm that the girl had indeed gone upstairs, Fu Mingxiu dropped the bag in his hand on the coffee table, pointed at the plastic bag with his index finger and stared: "What do you mean? What do you mean? Is it gentle knife? I want to please you." Me? No use! Let me tell you, no! Yes! Use!"
Lin Yu was startled awake by starvation.
When she woke up, the night was falling, and the luminous electronic clock showed that it was only nine o'clock. She slept for two hours, went upstairs and fell asleep.
During the period, I also had a very scary dream, dreaming that the social brother named Shen Juan was looking at her with something like an electric drill. The electric drill made a "sizzling" sound, and Shen Juan said blankly, "Take off your pants, I'll give you a Hello Kitty tattoo."
Lin Yu said in shock, "No, my butt looks so pretty, but your Hello Kitty drawing is really ugly, it doesn't match my butt."
Shen Juan said, "Then I'll tattoo you a luminous watch."
Lin Yu was startled and felt that she should be woken up by this dream first before waking up from hunger.
She propped herself up and sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, and was in a daze for a minute.
Then there is hunger.
My stomach was overwhelmed, and I was uncomfortably hungry.
Since returning from the shopping mall in the afternoon, she has only drank a glass of water. She originally planned to have dinner before coming back, but when Lao Li called, she forgot.
Lin Yu heaved a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to take the water glass on the low table beside the bed, poured another glass of water, and relieved his hunger.
She lay back on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and somehow thought of Lao Li and the boy who should be his son.
If she were him and had such a father, could she act like a baby and lose her temper a little bit
She suddenly knew why she was bothered just now.
She felt envious.
Lin Yujing felt that she was quite inexplicable now. She had never been the kind of sentimental person, probably because she moved to a strange city, a strange environment, and the strange life she was about to face made people feel too insecure, so The whole person has become a lot more sensitive.
After all, she left the place where she had lived for more than ten years, and even the divorce between Lin Zhi and Meng Weiguo affected her to some extent.
No matter how unbearable it was before, she still had a home, but now she doesn't even have a home.
Her stomach grumbled twice at the right time, interrupting her grief, Lin Yujing raised her hand and rubbed her face, then casually brushed her sleepy hair, turned over and got out of bed, casually put on a pair of pants, Grab the keys and mobile phone and go downstairs to go out to find something to eat.
There should be something to eat in the kitchen, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she doesn't want to rummage alone at this time. Once she goes out, the light from the floor lamp and post lamp is soft and beautiful. After all, she is thirty In case of a flat house, the level of lighting art is comparable to the Italian Lighting Art Festival.
When I drove back, I didn’t feel far away. At this time, I walked by myself for a long time before I got out of the gate. The street was brightly lit and bustling with traffic, and there was a smell of a big city everywhere. Lin Yujing followed his memory and walked towards the old alley. When I came here this afternoon, I seemed to have seen a 7-11 convenience store.
She has a good sense of direction, walked for about ten minutes, and saw the red and green sign of 7-11, which exuded a friendly light.
Lin Yu walked in in shock, took a rice ball, a bottle of mixed fruit juice, and ordered an oden. There were only three crispy bone balls, spinach tofu, and a piece of fish steak. She paid for it, and left the shop with a paper cup in her hand. He squatted at the door and stuffed a ball into his mouth.
It's not as hot as it was in the afternoon. The city has a slight temperature difference at night, and the wind is humid and cool, and it's not too cold. It's just comfortable, and it blows away the gloom and depression that have been going on for two consecutive days since I came here. .
Lin Yujing chewed the ball in a good mood, lowered his head to pierce the second one, and bit into his mouth. When he looked up again, he saw a group of people coming out of the opposite corner.
It was too far away at first, and she couldn't see clearly.
Later, when the group of people walked to the side of the road and were about to cross the road, it was obvious that they were coming in her direction, and she saw clearly.
Mop No. 1, 2, and 3, followed by Brother Social who couldn't wake up.
Brother Society should have gone to catch up on sleep again in the afternoon, and it seems that he is finally not sleepy. He still wears the same clothes as in the afternoon, with a shirt as a jacket, his hands in his trouser pockets, and his head hanging down to listen to the people next to him.
Still afraid of the cold.
Not knowing what they said, the two mops in front laughed, and the four of them crossed the road together and walked towards Lin Yujing.
Mop One finally saw her.
Lin Yujing was hesitant to say hello to him. In fact, she hadn't planned to go to that tattoo studio again, and thought that she probably wouldn't be able to meet them.
As a result, there are fates everywhere in life, but since the studio is here, this area can probably be regarded as their activity area.
She stuffed the whole ball into her mouth, threw the bamboo stick back into the paper cup, and was just about to raise her hand to say hello and go through the motions.
Mop No. 1 over there suddenly turned his head and whispered something to the person next to him.
Then Shen Juan raised his head and looked over, his eyes met.
They had already crossed the road and stood by the side of the road. The light from the convenience store and the dim street lamp combined to cast long shadows. The soaking in the night made the boy's facial features look gloomy and three-dimensional, like old photos with noise added, black and white. His eyes were hidden in the shadows, unable to see his emotions clearly.
Lin Yu was startled by the short but real dream he had just had, and subconsciously looked at his hand, afraid that he would charge up with an electric drill and say, "Take off your pants, and I'll tattoo you a Hello Kitty."
Three seconds later, Shen Juan lowered his head expressionlessly.
Lin Yu was stunned, blinked, the ball in his mouth was chewed and swallowed, and he didn't care, he picked up the bamboo stick again and concentrated on piercing a spinach tofu.
As soon as it was tied up, there was a noise from the other side of the road, and another group of people appeared at the intersection, about six or seven people were walking this way.
Mop No. 2 cursed, rolled up his sleeves, and entered a state of preparation.
Lin Yu had an epiphany.
This is an appointment-based competition and contest between social brothers. The specific process is about courtesy first, military first, literary first and martial arts. Everyone meets at the gate of 7-11. The boss and the boss greet each other until the first time on the body. Touching, this process is called firing.
In the next stage, the one who loses the mouthful will become angry from embarrassment, and at the moment of a disagreement, he pulls out his 50-meter long knife and calls his brothers at the same time, so that they can start fighting.
She watched the distance between the two groups of middle school boys with very strong firepower getting closer and closer. Standing at the door of 7-11, the one in the head of the other party didn't look very old. Not being kind, the facial features are twisted together, and "I am a ruthless person" is written all over his face.
When these two groups gathered together, all the passers-by walked around. Lin Yujing squatted on the steps of the convenience store, holding a cup of oden in his hand, which seemed a little eye-catching.
The ruthless brother turned his head and glanced at her.
Lin Yujing used to be a girl who had seen the world and had a story. She was not afraid of the bad boy's stare. She raised her head and saluted him with attention. let.
The ruthless brother stared at her thin white legs in shorts, stopped, took a puff of smoke, and was about to speak.
Shen Juan suddenly turned sideways, took a few steps forward and stood in front of the girl, blocking his view.
"Where are we talking?" Shen Juan raised his chin.
The ruthless brother: "?"
Shen Juan is very principled: "It's very impolite to disturb others eating oden."
The author has something to say:
"Look at your mother, is it something you can see?"—Shen Juan, a polite social brother.
