From that night on, Luo Yushu's figure began to appear on the playground.
In the playground at night, some people were jogging, some were walking in groups, and some couples were holding hands... She inevitably felt lonely, so she tried her best to contain her emotions and started jogging.
During the run, she clearly felt that her physical condition was really poor. She was sweating profusely after running less than half a lap, and her breathing began to become rapid. She had to slow down her pace. After running one lap, she was already tired. If it doesn't work, I walk around twice to calm down, then take a walk back to the dormitory.
She walked downstairs to the library and found a group of people crowded under the street lamp carrying books. Just like her last year, they were serious and tenacious, staring at the cold wind, stamping their feet, and their eyes stayed on the books.
At least I have tried hard, and the past is over.
That night, she went to bed early. Perhaps she was exhausted from exercising and went to bed early. I didn't sleep well, I woke up three times in the middle of the night, but I didn't suffer from insomnia, and I slept for several hours until dawn.
She hadn't gotten up early for a long time, washed up and went downstairs. The air was extremely fresh, and there were hurried figures of her junior students on the school road. The cafeteria was very lively, the steamed buns were piping hot, and the soy milk was not as delicious as the one Ji Huai bought her that day.
There were not many people in the library, so she found a seat by the window. Outside the window, she could see the traffic coming and going outside the school. She turned on the computer, read the literature carefully, and revised the paper according to the instructor's comments.
She was still anxious, but she had to force herself to stay on track. Occasionally she couldn't help but send messages to Ji Huai, but he still didn't reply much. She wanted to call him, but was afraid that he would be annoyed, so she could only endure it.
His words that day were like a tranquilizer. Although they were soothing, her mood would still rise and fall, and she would still be sensitive and uneasy.
She sent him a message this morning, but he had not replied by evening. Luo Yushu put on her running shoes and went downstairs, walking alone on the playground. She no longer wanted to run. She checked her phone again, but he still didn't reply. Her heart was in a state of confusion, and she couldn't help but wonder: Is Ji Huai trying to fool her? Knowing how nervous she is, she might hide further next time. Who likes trouble? She's terrible.
Thinking about it, it is inevitable to fall into my own sadness and become depressed again.
"Buzzing." The phone vibrated.
She picked it up quickly out of habit and read it. It was a text message. When she saw that it was not Ji Huai's reply to her message, her eyes dimmed again and she opened it without interest.
What she just received was a courier message, but she hasn’t bought anything online recently, so it’s probably a scammer. As soon as she turned off the phone, Ji Huai's phone came through. Her eyes lit up and she pressed the answer button immediately. There was uncontrollable surprise in her tone: "Hello?"
"Yes." Ji Huai's voice came from the other end and said succinctly, "I consulted the doctor and bought you medicine. The express delivery arrived. This is a Chinese patent medicine and has no side effects. I will send you the doctor's advice. I’ll get the medicine back and read the instructions.”
"What kind of medicine?" Her heart suddenly rose, and unspeakable fear swept over her, and she even lost her mind.
He also thought she was sick.
Ji Huai: "It's medicine to regulate endocrine disorders. You have to keep taking the medicine. If you can't control it well, we'll go for a check-up."
Luo Yushu lowered his head and walked out of the playground, suppressing the emotions that came up, and asked him softly: "Are you off work?"
"No." Ji Huai said and complained: "I just finished the meeting and I don't know what else I'm going to do. I guess it's already after twelve o'clock when I get home. There will be no day off this month."
When she heard that he hadn't gotten off work yet, she suddenly felt that she was being pretentious by guessing why he hadn't replied to the message. Just as she was about to speak, he asked again: "Did you go for a run today?"
"..." Luo Yushu stopped walking out of the playground and turned around again, "I just arrived at the playground."
"Run around twice, and then buy a cup of fresh milk. You can also pick up a courier on the way. When you get back, drink the milk, take a bath and soak your feet before going to sleep." He had planned everything for her.
"Yeah." She was obedient.
"I'm working overtime, go to bed early."
Luo Yushu: "Don't work too hard."
Ji Huai snorted coldly: "If the money is not enough, no one can try to exploit me too much!"
His words always had a magical power that dispelled the haze in her heart.
Luo Yushu ran and walked twice before walking to the express delivery station in the school. She picked up the express delivery and spent three yuan on a cup of fresh milk at a nearby store. When she arrived at the dormitory, she sat down to unpack the express delivery.
Ji Huai bought her Qi and Blood Capsules. She read the instructions while soaking her feet, and then carefully read the doctor's instructions he sent twice.
She had to eat four pills at a time, three times a day. She calculated that it would take a few days before she could start eating. What he bought was half a month's supply.
Ji Huai had no days off this month and often didn't get home until early in the morning. Luo Yushu began to stop worrying about why he didn't reply to messages.
Although he didn't reply frequently, sometimes it was just one or two words, but she couldn't help but send it. After sending it, she read a few pages of the book and looked at her phone, hoping that he would reply to her. Tian was worried and had random thoughts. She wouldn't do it now. Even if she didn't reply, she would have reasons to convince herself.
Luo Yushu still suffers from insomnia for no reason and has difficulty concentrating, but the situation is improving. Occasionally she wakes up several times in the middle of the night and continues to sleep until dawn. When she goes for a run, she has no mind to think about other things.
In school, her expenses were very small, and she only had one meat and one vegetarian meal. Although Ji Huai told her to have a good rest, her roommates were all looking for jobs, and she was not a Buddhist. She didn't take a few days off to submit her resume, and she also screened out several companies that looked good.
She compiled the information and sent it to Ji Huai, wanting to hear his thoughts.
Ji Huai was still in a meeting when he received the message. He took the mobile phone over, glanced at it twice and put it aside.
Li Ying stood in front, talking and writing on the whiteboard, and various materials were shown on the ppt. Half the time, she was bragging, and the other half, she was brainwashing and criticizing.
"If you look at other stores, they are not like this. If you look at you again, you will not listen to me no matter how many times you say it. Your performance is declining."
“To believe we can do it, we have to do it this month.”
"Especially Ji Huai, I'm very dissatisfied when everyone looks at the information he handed in. He didn't listen to it in the meeting and didn't know what he was writing..."
…
When she mentioned Ji Huai's name, everyone looked at her with sympathy. Every time there was a meeting, Ji Huai was always criticized openly and secretly.
The person involved was scolded in one ear and out the other, and he was reprimanded absent-mindedly for more than ten minutes. Then, Li Ying scolded another person again. Everyone was impatient and kept their heads down in a daze.
Li Ying's thinking is very simple. The store's business has not reached the target, and she has been scolded by her superiors. Then she will come back and scold them, and speak out first.
Finally, the meeting ended and everyone went to collect their pay slips.
Ji Huai looked at the salary he received. It was pitifully small, and there was still some left: 2,975. At the same time, Li Ying also told him the news that he would not be able to become a regular employee next month and would have to wait until he officially graduates in June before being transferred. She also said something high-sounding that it was not in line with the rules.
"Store manager, I know." Ji Huai said nothing, expressing his understanding.
Li Ying looked at his leaving figure with displeasure in her eyes.
Ji Huai didn't take her to heart and forgot about the matter after walking out.
His sales were good, but the store lacked eloquent salespeople like him, so Li Ying gave him a hard time. Although the other party looked helpless, he knew that she was unhappy with him. Luo Yushu's incident in her previous life broke out and made the news. Li Ying didn't ask clearly and just found a reason to fire him.
With this level of vision, the road will only become narrower and narrower.
Outside.
Everyone is discussing where to have dinner today.
"Ji Huai, are you going to get off work?" Brother Wang looked at him and asked.
"I'm not going." Ji Huai read the message Luo Yushu sent him again and typed back to her.
"My salary was paid today, so I have to go and have a good time." Other colleagues were also making noises, and Li Liang also advised him, "Everyone, go and have fun."
After Ji Huai finished typing, he transferred two thousand yuan to Luo Yushu's Alipay. He raised his head and refused: "No, I have something to go home."
The basic salary is paid today, and the commission will be paid after a period of time. The 600 yuan he transferred to Luo Yushu a few days ago was all the funds he could come up with. He had been busy these days, and now he only had a few hundred yuan left. He had to last for several days, and he was financially strapped.
He calculated that by skipping this meal, he could save enough money for two days of living expenses.
Brother Wang: "That's it, then next time."
When he said this, everyone was not pushy. When Li Liang saw him not going, he became less interested and less enthusiastic. He participated less in discussions and didn't want to go.
Ji Huai walked aside and continued to reply to Luo Yushu.
Luo Yushu received the money he transferred and stared at it for a while before Ji Huai sent another message. He rejected all those companies, and he was reasonable and told her to stay in school and not be anxious.
"You transferred the money to me, what should you do?" She felt that he transferred too much. He also earned this money with hard work. He was still an intern and his salary was not much.
Ji Huai: Commissions will also be issued. This month’s performance is good and the commissions are high.
Luo Yushu hesitated and replied: "But I can't spend so much."
When she first entered college, Luo's father gave her two thousand yuan a month. Luo Hong felt that two thousand was not enough. Luo's mother felt sorry for her son and always secretly stuffed her with money. Luo Lan couldn't stand her spending so much money, so she took the initiative to give her a lower salary. Arrived at one thousand five.
Food in college is cheap. If she spends it alone, one thousand and fifty can be spent for two months. She will buy the remaining money for him to buy clothes and shoes, because he is handsome, and it would be a shame if he doesn't dress up properly.
Ji Huai was very generous: If you can't spend it, just keep it. When I go back to school next month, we'll have a big dinner.
His words made her mouth curl up: OK.
Ji Huai: I'm at work.
Luo Yushu: Yeah.
She didn't bother him anymore. After hanging up the phone, she opened her calendar and looked at it, calculating how many days there were until next month. Then, she took a mirror and looked at herself. Her roommate thought she was looking bad, and said: "Your dark circles." Much better, exercise really helps, I really want to exercise.
Luo Yushu turned around: Are we together tonight
The roommate shook his head: Forget it, I'm too lazy, it's so cold outside, I just want to lie in bed.
Luo Yushu knew the other person's temperament well and did not force him. He stood up, put the computer in his backpack, and went downstairs to the library.
She lived a regular life, running back and forth between the library and her dormitory. Although she was anxious, she was much better than before. The instructor also praised her for writing a good paper and being very diligent, which greatly encouraged her.
Ji Huai would never reply to her messages during working hours, and sometimes he would reply to her in a perfunctory manner as before. For several days in a row, she was so full of random thoughts that she simply went for a run on the playground in advance.
Just after running around, her phone rang. It was Ji Huai's video call. She slowed down and put on her earphones to answer it.
"What about running on the playground?" He guessed it.
"Um."
Ji Huai stretched his hand back, leaned on the bed and looked at her, smiling and boasting: "You worked out so hard today?"
Luo Yushu: "I run every night."
He smiled wider: "That means working out hard every day, which is great."
She was embarrassed by the compliment: "Are you off work?"
Ji Huai: "Yes. The leader is very merciful and allows us to leave work early and start work early tomorrow."
Luo Yushu listened to him complain again, and she could tell that he was very dissatisfied with the stupid policy. She listened patiently and even comforted him.
"By the way." Ji Huai changed the topic, "There is a new dance studio next to the school that is holding activities. My roommate said that he has a discount. The monthly pass is only 199. You can go to class every day. Do you want to go?"
Her first reaction was to refuse. Ever since she was a child, she had never taken any serious interest classes, let alone dance, and subconsciously felt that she was not good at it.
He added on the other end: "This guy owes me two hundred, and he probably doesn't have the money to pay it back, so he wants to offset the debt. It is said that a monthly card costs 299 at the normal price, and he gave me one to offset the debt. You can go first Try it, if you don’t want to jump, don’t go.”
"I heard that there are all kinds of dances. There are three or four classes a day, different dances."
…
Ji Huai said so, and Luo Yushu could only say: "Should I go and have a look? But I have no foundation."
She was still afraid. She had the courage to try all kinds of things before, but now she just instinctively avoids them, feeling that she is not good enough.
"How do you know they must have the foundation? Just go and have fun. If you don't pay this amount, you can't get it back. Just earn one section for the last session. After finishing the session, forget it if you don't want to play. It's like the money is gone." He said so.
Seeing her answer, Ji Huai turned around and placed an order online, communicated with the dance studio, and gave the other party's contact information to Luo Yushu.
The next day.
Luo Yushu made an appointment for Zumba at 9 a.m., and went to the dance studio with a feeling of trepidation.
There was a little girl at the front desk who was very enthusiastic. She registered her name and gave her a pair of socks: "This is a gift from the monthly card event. You can just use it. You need to wear socks when dancing."
"Thanks."
"The classroom is over here." The little girl led her to the large classroom next to it, and said with a smile, "There are not many people scheduled for class in the morning, only seven people. Today's dance class is relatively basic, you can keep up."
Luo Yushu nodded, feeling much more relaxed.
"You are so white and your skin is so good." The little girl looked at her face with an envious expression, "Your nose is so straight, have you put on lipstick?"
"No."
The little girl added: "Your lips are so red, so beautiful."
Luo Yushu's face flushed with her praise, and the little girl asked her to stand a little further forward, and quietly said to her: "The teacher will stand in front for a while. This has a good view and is convenient for guidance."
"Thanks."
…
At 8:50, several other students came in one after another, and the teacher also came in and was playing music.
Luo Yushu couldn't help but become nervous. She didn't know how to do anything. Cold sweat broke out on her back just thinking about it, and her nerves were tense. In the end, I found out that no one knows how to do it.
There is a dance in one class, which is the most basic sequence of movements.
"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, left, right, left, right..."
"Wave your hands and twist, very good."
"Go on, go forward, go back, go left, go right."
…
In the dance studio, popular dynamic music surrounds the dance, with the teacher leading the dance and everyone following behind.
Luo Yushu stood at the back and studied hard. After the class, she was sweating profusely. While she was dancing, the teacher suddenly turned around and looked at her, with a gentle tone: "My dear, stretch forward, yes, raise your head, do it very well and standardly."
She stood at the front, right in the teacher's field of vision, receiving attention and being reminded from time to time.
At the end of the course, everyone has to connect all the movements to the dynamic music and dance a whole dance.
The little girl walked in with her mobile phone and turned on the camera mode.
"Prepare."
"rise!"
…
Luo Yushu studied hard and danced seriously. In the end, the little girl's camera was only focused on her.
"get out of class has ended."
"Thank you, teacher."
"Goodbye, go back and practice more, and continue in the next class."
…
Luo Yushu took her new clothes and walked to the dressing room. After changing her clothes, as soon as she walked out, the little girl was pouring water: "Drink some tea. Today I made red date and longan tea."
She walked over and got a glass and thanked her.
The students left one after another, and she was left alone. The little girl chatted with her: "How was it? Was it fun?"
"Yeah." She took a sip of water, nodded with a smile, and looked at the classroom next to her, "What classes are being held over there?"
Her communication skills are not bad, but she doesn't like to talk during this period and has become more and more taciturn. She used to be particularly talkative when she was in a good mood.
"Belly dancing, do you want to go and have fun? The class has just started, you can go and join the class." The little girl said to her.
"No need." Luo Yushu declined.
"Drink some more water. I sweated a lot after dancing for a class." The little girl poured her some more water and pretended to ask casually, "You are so good-looking, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Yeah." Luo Yushu nodded generously.
"Isn't he handsome?" The little girl became interested.
"Handsome." She pursed her lips and smiled without being modest. "I think he is tall and handsome."
Ji Huai was already handsome. When he was in high school, everyone said he was the school idol, and his profile was even more handsome.
"Wow~~" the little girl's eyes lit up again, and she looked curious. She wanted to see the photos, but she felt bad, so she changed her words and said to her, "The course schedule is in the official account. You can make appointments at any time. Many courses are available." It’s fun, I can come here and play every day.”
"OK Bye Bye."
"Bye." When the little girl saw her walking into the elevator, she sighed again: They are all other people's boyfriends.
She knew he was a handsome guy, just by the sound of his voice.
…
Luo Yushu went downstairs and couldn't help but send a message to Ji Huai: the dance class is very interesting, I will continue to take classes.
Immediately afterwards, she sent a cute expression.
Now that she had finished sending the message, she didn't care whether Ji Huai responded or not, so she quit. Then she saw new updates in her circle of friends and clicked in to take a look.
The little girl posted a new update using the dance studio's account, which was a short edited video with the caption: The morning's Zumba dance is over, capturing a beautiful little girl practicing dance seriously.
At one o'clock, dynamic music came on, and the picture showed her silhouette. The tight-fitting yoga clothes she was wearing were specially bought for her elective Pilates course in her junior year. Others said they looked very good.
Wave your hands and twist your hips, step back and turn your head...
Luo Yushu's face grew hot when she saw it, but the other person's shooting skills were really good. She watched it many times, endured her shyness, saved the video, and sent it to Ji Huai.
