Sang Zhi felt that his reaction was a little scary.
What's the matter with this old man
Could it be that she just reacted too much
But if she just watched him being bullied and did nothing like a melon eater, would she still be human
Sang Zhi felt that there was nothing wrong with him.
"Brother, you don't have to worry about what happened just now." Sang Zhi thought about it and said, "When I was blackmailed in the second year of junior high, you also helped me."
Duan Jiaxu hummed.
Sang Zhi added, "Now that you're old, it's my turn to help you."
"… "
He happened to pass a trash can, and Sang Zhi threw all the tissues in his hand into it. When she turned around again, she noticed that Duan Jia Xu's expression froze, and the smile on his face narrowed.
It looks quite normal.
It was as if he had come back to his senses, and realized what the thought that he had just suddenly occurred to him was.
Then, Sang Zhi saw it.
Duan Jiaxu lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, as if feeling a little weird. His tone was close to absurd, and the sentence came out inaudibly: "I'm really crazy."
"… "
Kind of crazy.
However, being splashed with water in public really hurts self-esteem.
Sang Zhi didn't know how to comfort him. She walked into the men's clothing store and changed the subject: "Brother, please change one quickly. Wet clothes are uncomfortable."
Duan Jiaxu did not move.
Sang Zhi picked up a piece of clothing and stuffed it into his hand: "How about this one."
Only then did he react, his eyelashes moved slowly: "Yeah."
After he entered the fitting room, Sang Zhi walked around the store again. She took a fancy to a dress and was about to pick it up when the phone suddenly rang.
Sang Zhi withdrew her hand, glanced at the caller ID, and picked it up immediately: "Brother."
Sang Yan's voice came along the electric current, and it sounded a little lazy: "Little devil. When are you on vacation, I'll help you book the ticket."
Sang Zhi frowned: "What's the hurry, there are still more than half a month."
"Then you order it yourself?"
"You transfer the money to me, and I order it myself."
"What money do I transfer to you, I'm your dad?"
"Oh, Dad."
"… "
"It's the end of the month, it's time to pay for living expenses." Sang Zhi reached out and touched the man's jacket in front of him, "Brother, you've dragged on to the last day."
"… "
"If you don't transfer money to me, don't transfer it. Just use that money to buy me a coffin."
Sang Yan sneered: "You get double the living expenses every month, how shameless are you brat?"
"Where is the double share?" Sang Zhi said confidently without blinking her eyelids, "Dad said, he will give half, and you will give half."
"How high are the prices in Yihe?" Sang Yan asked, "You have to spend six thousand a month?"
Sang Zhi glanced at the size of the clothes, and rummaged inside again: "I'm still frugal, and I'm not willing to buy more than one candy, otherwise I'll overspend."
"A thousand pieces of candy for you?"
"No." Sang Zhi said without changing his face, "One thousand yuan each."
"..." Sang Yan said, "Okay, just pretend I don't have your sister."
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds, and then two words suddenly appeared: "Coffin."
Sang Yan hung up the phone directly.
Hearing the icy beeping in her ears, Sang Zhi glanced at the screen of her phone and shrugged indifferently. She put the phone back in her pocket, continued flipping through the size, found the XXL size, and took it off.
Sang Zhi turned around, only to realize that Duan Jia Xu had already changed his clothes and came out. She just handed him a black sweater without looking at the size.
Looking at it at this point, it fits quite well.
Sang Zhi walked up to him with the clothes in her hands and asked, "Is this the only one?"
Duan Jia Xu glanced at him and said casually, "Did you just call your brother?"
"Yeah, he asked me if I had booked a plane ticket." Sang Zhi answered honestly, and then handed him the clothes in his hand, "Brother, help me try this one."
Hearing the word "help", Duan Jiaxu took it slowly, raised his eyelids slightly, and said lightly, "Who do you want to give it to?"
"My brother." Sang Zhi glanced around again, "It's a New Year's gift."
"… "
"I'll buy one for my dad by the way, so I don't have to go shopping when I go back." Speaking of which, Sang Zhi raised her eyes and pointed to the one on his body, "By the way, do you like this one?"
Duan Jiaxu's expression was sloppy: "It looks good?"
"pretty good."
"Then this one."
Sang Zhi nodded, took out her mobile phone and glanced at it, just in time to see the Alipay transfer reminder.
She clicked to see.
—Sang Yan transfers 5,000 yuan to you.
Note: Don't call me brother again next time we meet.
"… "
This cuts off the relationship.
Can be too ruthless.
Sang Zhi blinked and quickly replied: [Okay.]
She picked another dress and went to the cashier to check out.
Duan Jiaxu took off his coat. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and stepped forward, as if he wanted to buy three pieces directly.
"Hey, I'll pay." Sang Zhi didn't want to spend his money, so he pushed his phone back, opened the payment code immediately, and said to the cashier, "Pay for three pieces together."
After speaking, she turned her head and said solemnly, "Brother, this dress is a New Year's gift I gave you in advance."
"Okay." Duan Jiaxu laughed, "I'll make it up for you another day."
Listening to the conversation between the two, the young lady at the cashier looked at the two of them and asked curiously, "Are you two brothers and sisters?"
Sang Zhi was stunned, silent for a few seconds, and nodded, "Yeah."
Cashier: "It doesn't look like it, dear?"
Duan Jiaxu stood beside him, holding his mobile phone and looking at WeChat with a nonchalant expression. He didn't hear Sang Zhi's answer immediately, and after a few seconds, she responded slowly.
But not a negative answer.
Duan Jiaxu heard it.
She hummed again, then said softly, "Almost."
Maybe it was because of that woman's mood, Duan Jiaxu didn't talk much after that, as if he was thinking about things all the time, a little absent-minded.
Sang Zhi originally planned to talk to him as little as possible during this time. But seeing him like this, she could only bite the bullet and talk about the topic, trying to make him forget about that.
But seeing her in such a hurry, Duan Jia Xu immediately laughed again, as if he wasn't affected by this incident, and even joked with her.
Sang Zhi was also a little helpless.
The two settled for dinner at a nearby noodle restaurant. Seeing that it was getting late, Duan Jiaxu sent Sang Zhi back to school. After that, he drove back to his community.
Duan Jiaxu entered the building with the key card and took the elevator to the fifteenth floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw the woman standing in front of his house. He stopped in place and instantly remembered Sang Zhi's words.
Then he took out his cell phone and called the property.
The woman's expression was extremely ugly, and she seemed to have waited for a long time: "You still know how to come back? I thought you went to open a room with that college student today."
The phone is connected.
As if he hadn't heard the woman's words, Duan Jia Xu's tone was indifferent and calm: "I am a resident of Block B on the 15th floor of Building 12. There is a stranger at my door. Please come and deal with it. Thank you."
She shouted suddenly, "Duan Jiaxu!"
Duan Jiaxu hung up the phone, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one, and lit it. He bit the cigarette holder, leaned against the wall, and said nothing.
The woman's eyes were a little red: "Who is that woman today."
"… "
"I asked you something!"
Duan Jia Xu looked a little sleepy, his eyelids drooping down. The lights in the elevator room were bright, making his complexion extremely white, making his outstanding face look a little more morbid.
He was motionless.
There was no response to her at all.
The woman suddenly walked in front of him, raised her hand, and seemed to want to slap him.
Out of the corner of the light, he noticed her movement, Duan Jia Xu's eyes lifted, staring at her coolly, the corners of his lips also raised, showing no warmth.
The more angry she got, the more her hand was about to drop.
Duan Jiaxu turned his head slightly and lifted the cigarette in his hand up.
The cigarette butt touched her bare palm.
The woman retracted her hand conditioned reflexively, and tears came out immediately in pain. She widened her eyes and said hysterically, "Why are you so cheap!"
Looking at her tears, Duan Jia Xu's eyes curved into crescent moons: "Does it still hurt?"
"… "
"No, it hurts so much to see you." Duan Jia Xu trailed off and chuckled, "Why am I so happy?"
"… "
"Why did you treat me like this?" The woman suddenly started crying, staring at him, "Your whole family owes me."
Duan Jia Xu ignored her, bypassed her, and took out the key from his pocket.
"Is that girl your girlfriend today?" The woman's words seemed to pop out from between her teeth, word by word, "Don't even think about it, a person like you—"
"… "
"What qualifications do you have to live a good life?"
Duan Jiaxu just pretended not to hear and opened the door with the key.
The woman seemed to want to use brute force to squeeze in, but he stopped when he realized that he didn't seem to be afraid of her being caught by the door.
"Duan Jiaxu, your whole family has to die." She slammed on the security door and said while crying, "That's why your mother died, you—"
He also closed the door on the inside, blocking all her voices.
Duan Jiaxu extinguished the cigarette butt, walked to the toilet, and flushed down the toilet. He turned on the faucet and washed his hands carefully, including accidentally touching Jiang Ying's arm just now.
Soon, Duan Jiaxu left the living room and glanced at the photos on the TV cabinet.
Duan Jia Xu walked over and crouched in front. The corners of his mouth curved up, seeming to be very interesting: "Mom, did you just hear those words?"
"Don't take it to heart."
A woman's smile is gentle and forever fixed in the years.
Duan Jiaxu rubbed her face with his fingertips, showing a smile similar to the woman in the photo: "Do you think she's pretty good too? You can't get tired of talking like that for many years."
Duan Jiaxu went to the bathroom to take a shower.
It was almost twelve o'clock in the morning when we came out. He sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and heard the dialogue of the characters in the TV series.
The quiet living room was instantly lively because of the sound.
Duan Jiaxu turned on the computer in front of him, and suddenly remembered the thought that had arisen inexplicably today. He glanced at Sang Zhi, who was standing side by side with him in the photo.
At that time, the girl was only fifteen years old.
when he graduated from college.
A kid just getting ready for high school.
Even treated him as a brother.
Duan Jiaxu closed his eyes and lit another cigarette. There was some liveliness outside, someone set off fireworks, exploded in the sky, and crackled.
He looked over calmly, and his eyes were stained with a little light.
The clock just stopped at zero.
Duan Jiaxu's cell phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. He looked up lazily and saw that Sang Zhi had sent him a message on WeChat.
Duan Jiaxu stretched out his hand and opened it.
Xiao Sangzhi: [I wish Brother Jiaxu a happy New Year and a happy day.]
Duan Jiaxu: [Well, happy new year.]
Xiao Sangzhi: [I'm going to bed, you go to bed earlier too.]
Duan Jiaxu: [Good.]
He clicked on Sang Zhi's profile, changed the note to her to "Sang Zhi", thought about it, and changed it to "Only". After a while, Duan Jia Xu changed back to "Little Sangzhi".
Duan Jiaxu remembered the night he spent at Sang Zhi's house. I heard that he has a lot of creditors. The little girl stood beside him and said seriously to him, "Brother, don't worry, I will grow up in the future, and I will make money to help you pay it back."
Duan Jiaxu remembered Jiang Ying's words again.
"What qualifications do you have to live a good life?"
Duan Jia Xu's lip line straightened, his Adam's apple slid up and down.
"Well, I didn't."
He turned off the screen, his eyebrows were gentle, and he murmured: "But we little Sangzhi have a good life."
