His breath was warm, squirting on her ears, itching and tingling. There was a bit of teasing in his tone, and he was deliberately teasing her, which was extraordinarily serious and made life unhappy.
Sang Zhi's emotions dissipated for the most part in an instant, she raised her eyes and stared at him silently.
"Why don't you speak?" Duan Jiaxu straightened up, chuckled lightly, and admitted, "Okay, I know I'm talking shit."
"… "
Hearing this, Sang Zhi's mouth straightened for a few seconds, and this time he couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you deny it?"
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows a little, "Is it really dirty?"
Sang Zhi sniffed, but didn't hit him: "It's okay."
She lowered her eyes, looked at the black wallet in her hand, and handed it back to him: "Give it back to you."
Duan Jiaxu didn't answer. Instead, he put the card in his hand in his pocket, as if he didn't say, "I won't return this."
Sang Zhi whispered, "I didn't let you pay it back."
Duan Jiaxu took out the card again, stared at it for a long while, then laughed suddenly, and murmured, "I can still eat soft rice at my age."
"..." Sang Zhi said, "I didn't let you spend the money indiscriminately."
"Give it to me and don't let me spend it?"
Sang Zhi looked at him: "That has to be kept."
Duan Jia said leisurely, "Save it as a dowry for you?"
Sang Zhi is serious: "Save it to buy a house."
"… "
"I looked it up on the Internet before, and the down payment is about 500,000 yuan for one hundred square meters in the city center." Sang Zhi said, "... At this rate, I should be able to save it for twenty years."
Duan Jiaxu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. His chin was slightly restrained, his happy mood was not restrained at all, and his shoulders were shaking with laughter: "Okay, wait for you to save."
"… "
Twenty years sounds a little humble.
Sang Zhi thought for a while, then said, "It shouldn't take that long."
Duan Jiaxu: "Well, brother is waiting for you."
"… "
Being interrupted by him like this made Sang Zhi somewhat forget the reason why she was in a bad mood. She touched his arm with the purse and reminded, "Yours."
Duan Jiaxu took it, drew two cards from the inside, and handed them to her, "Boss, your cards."
Sang Zhi didn't take it: "What are you giving me the card for?"
"I can't keep money on me." Duan Jia Xu smiled, "Otherwise, how can I eat soft rice?"
Sang Zhi couldn't help but say, "I spend a lot of money."
"Then I'm pretty lucky," Duan Jiaxu said timidly, "I found a big money sponsor."
"..." Sang Zhi only took one, and carefully put it into the bag, "I don't need it, leave it for you, and I'll give it back to you if you want."
Seeing that her mood was finally getting better, Duan Jiaxu asked, "Isn't it a dinner party with people from the company today? Why aren't you happy?"
After all, Jiang Ying came to her for the second time. In addition, Sang Zhi was targeted in the past week because of Jiang Ying. She didn't plan to resign, and thought about leaving Shi Xiaoyu with her salary for a month.
Afraid that it would also affect Duan Jiaxu's mood, Sang Zhi didn't confess: "It's a little annoying to just bring my master."
After sending Sang Zhi back to school, Duan Jiaxu drove home. He drove the car into the community, slowed down, and before he was about to turn, someone suddenly hit him.
Duan Jia Xu's eyes narrowed and he subconsciously braked the car. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and his brain was dazed for a moment, then he unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
The man who had just hit him was leaning halfway in front of his car, apparently drunk, not hit, and mumbling indistinct words.
Duan Jiaxu took a deep breath and called out, "Sir?"
The man stood up, suddenly pointed to the wheel, and cursed, "Your car hit my dog!"
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu glanced, but did not see the "dog" he was talking about. He closed his eyes, and his emotions were not over yet, and he said softly, "You are drunk, go and sit by the side for a while."
"I'm not drunk!" The man was still a little unsteady, and pointed at him drunkenly, "I said! Your car! It hit my dog! You have to lose money!"
Hearing the movement here, there were people around to watch one after another.
It didn't take long for the security guard to come over. After learning about the situation, he patiently persuaded him to fight. But this man was completely irrational. Hearing the security guard say, "Then pull the dog out," he replied angrily, "The life of the dog is not the life of the dog."
In the end, there was no way out, so the only option was to call the police.
Duan Jiaxu went back to the car and casually watched the man making trouble outside.
When the police came, he got out.
It took half an hour for such a tossing.
When he got home, Duan Jiaxu opened the refrigerator and poured a bottle of ice water into his mouth. His brain seemed to be stretched by a thread, and it would break if it was pulled.
Scanning the various snacks in his eyes, Duan Jiaxu pursed his lips and smoked a piece of chocolate.
He sat down on the sofa, tore open the package and took a bite.
Very sweet taste.
Duan Jiaxu also took out the card in his pocket. He stared at it for a while, his brows loosened, and his peach blossom eyes squinted. The tense mood seemed to gradually dissipate.
After eating the rest of the chocolate, Duan Jiaxu put on a change of clothes and went into the bathroom. By the time he came out, it was nearly eleven o'clock. At this time, Sang Zhi had already fallen asleep.
Duan Jiaxu didn't feel sleepy. He took out his phone and played games for a while. He didn't lie down until 1:00 in the morning.
Then, he had a dream.
I dreamed that tonight, he drank at the entertainment, but he felt that he was not drunk, so he resolutely chose to drive home, and then bumped into the man just now on the road.
He also heard his own voice, heard himself keep blocking.
Extremely desperate, hysterical voice, as if to pierce the eardrum.
However, in the dream, he still escaped.
Duan Jiaxu dreamed.
He became Duan Zhicheng.
…
That was probably the most chaotic night that Duan Jia Xu had ever experienced.
He was doing his homework in the room, thinking about finishing this and having time to read some comic books. Xu Ruoshu was watching TV in the living room, and he could faintly hear her intermittent laughter.
It had been a very peaceful night.
Until Duan Zhicheng came back.
He was extremely reckless, and there was a strong and unpleasant smell of alcohol on his body, and his whole body was shaking. Facing Xu Ruoshu's worrying questioning and stepping forward to comfort her, she just pushed away in a very disintegrating manner.
Panic to the extreme.
The loud noise made Duan Jia Xu unable to do his homework. He stopped the pen in his hand, got up and walked out of the living room, and asked, "Mom, what's the matter?"
Xu Ruoshu closed the shawl on her body and reassured: "It's okay, you continue to do your homework."
"I'm finished." However, Duan Zhicheng was not as "nothing" as she said, his eyes were red, and he repeated these three words over and over again, "I'm finished..."
Xu Ruoshu frowned, frightened by his appearance: "What's the matter? How did you come back after drinking like this? Didn't Xiao Chen send you off?"
"Myself..." Duan Zhicheng made a choked voice in his throat, "I...I bumped into someone..."
"… "
The house immediately fell silent, only the sound of Duan Zhicheng's heavy breathing remained.
After a while, Xu Ruoshu regained her senses and turned to look at Duan Jiaxu: "Ah Xu, go back to the room." She quickly grabbed Duan Zhicheng's arm and forced herself to calm down, "Tell me carefully, what happened?"
Duan Zhicheng raised his voice and shouted, "I don't know!"
"Where did you crash? Did you call an ambulance?" Xu Ruoshu's eyes turned red, and her voice trembled involuntarily, "Did you get out of the car to see?"
"On Renmin Road, next to that store..." Duan Zhicheng suddenly raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "What should I do... What should I do..."
Duan Jiaxu said at this moment, "Dad, did you call an ambulance?"
Duan Zhicheng shook his head again and again, but couldn't hear anything: "I can't scream, no one saw that I hit it, no one knows... Don't worry about it! Don't—"
Xu Ruoshu also shouted, "Duan Zhicheng! Are you crazy!"
"… "
Duan Jia Xu's forehead twitched, his palms getting cold. He listened to his parents arguing, walked to the sofa in silence, picked up the microphone, and started calling 120.
Aware of his actions, Duan Zhicheng looked over: "What are you doing?!"
The other end was connected, Duan Jiaxu's eyes were red, and he turned to look directly at Duan Zhicheng: "Is it a hospital? There is a store on Renmin Road. There is a car accident next door. There are injured people, trouble..."
Duan Zhicheng seemed crazy and wanted to come over to grab his phone, but was stopped by Xu Ruoshu.
"—Please send someone here as soon as possible, thank you." After he finished speaking, Duan Jia Xu hung up the phone and said word by word, "People will be saved."
"… "
"That person is not necessarily dead, why don't you save people?" The image of his father collapsed in an instant, Duan Jia Xu tightened the muscles on his face, gritted his teeth and asked, "Why did you run?"
Xu Ruoshu put Duan Jiaxu behind her, and said seriously, "Go and surrender."
"… "
"Admit your mistake and make atonement." The first time she encountered such a big thing, Xu Ruoshu's voice was full of tears, "You have done something wrong, you have to make up for it. This is what you should do, and you should not escape."
"..." Looking at the expressions of the two, Duan Zhicheng was still shaking his head. His whole face was red and sweat was dripping from his forehead, "I don't want to go to jail...I don't want to..."
Xu Ruoshu wanted to say something.
Duan Zhicheng's spirit seemed to be awake, and he murmured, "Can I pay for my life? I'm dead, right?"
Then, Duan Jiaxu saw a scene he would never forget in his life.
his father, in order to escape this sin.
He suddenly rushed towards the balcony, then jumped up and jumped from the sixth floor.
…
Duan Zhicheng didn't die, he was in a vegetative state lying on the bed.
Huge medical bills, huge compensation, never-ending accusations, everything, the guilt that Duan Zhicheng should bear, all changed direction and weighed heavily on this family.
Duan Jiaxu and Xu Ruoshu endured the entanglement of Jiang Ying's family, including all their relatives.
Young children and gentle and cowardly women have become the best targets for bullying. The endless blackmail and the sharp and vicious curses gradually subsided until they moved.
But it has become a shadow that will never go away.
- "You should die too."
- "I really don't know what you will become when you grow up."
I'm afraid it will be like what everyone said.
After Duan Jiaxu, he will become a person like Duan Zhicheng.
So he never drinks.
Follow the rules in everything you do.
Duan Jiaxu lived with low self-esteem, cautiously and diligently. He doesn't believe in fate, and he never chooses to give up and fall into the quagmire in the words of others.
He believed that, as Xu Ruoshu said,
Just as he thought.
He will live better than anyone.
…
…
Sang Zhi's cell phone has been silent for a long time, mainly because of class, and because she is usually afraid of affecting her roommates. But recently she was alone in the dormitory, and because she never saw the news of others in time, she turned on her voice.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up by a WeChat call.
Sang Zhi was disturbed by the noise. For a while, she thought it was the alarm clock, so she touched the phone, hung up the phone in a daze, and continued to sleep with her head covered.
Not long after, the phone rang again.
Sang Zhi was slightly awake, her eyes were wrinkled, and she focused on the screen.
It was found that Duan Jiaxu was calling.
Paying attention to the time in the center of the phone, Sang Zhi suddenly exploded. She calmed her breath, held back her temper, answered the phone, and opened the door.
In the small bedroom, Duan Jia Xu's voice instantly sounded, "Are you asleep?"
Sang Zhi was going crazy: "It's three o'clock now, big brother."
Duan Jiaxu paused, then smiled sullenly: "I'm sorry, I can't sleep a bit."
Sang Zhi just wanted to sleep, and said perfunctorily, "What are you doing?"
"Speak to you."
"I want to sleep!" Sang Zhi resisted the urge to hang up the phone and said, "Go to my brother, I think he probably hasn't slept yet. He usually stays up all night on weekends—"
Duan Jiaxu: "I just want to find you."
"… "
Sang Zhi's eyelids lifted. Feeling that he came to harass her at this point in the middle of the night, it didn't seem right, she reached out and turned on the camera: "what are you doing."
It was pitch black on her side, and she couldn't see anything with the camera turned on.
Upon seeing this, Duan Jiaxu also opened, revealing his face. The light on his end is not too bright, and the pixels appear to be a little low: "It's okay, you can sleep."
"..." Sang Zhi said, "Did you have a nightmare?"
Duan Jiaxu laughed, "How do you know?"
Because she had just woken up, Sang Zhi spoke in a nasal voice, which sounded soft and slow: "At this time, what else could be other than a nightmare?"
"… "
"Did you dream of a ghost? A ghost presses the bed? Why are you so timid?" Sang Zhi said in disgust, "You lie down now, and I'll sing you a lullaby."
Duan Jiaxu hummed softly.
Sang Zhi lay on the pillow and began to sing: "Sleep, sleep, my dear baby..."
"… "
Soon, Sang Zhi stopped and sat up: "I feel like I need to fall asleep first."
Duan Jia Xu began to laugh again, with a faint sound of breath.
Sang Zhi was sitting against the wall wrapped in the quilt, holding the phone in her hand, and said whatever came to her mind: "It's just a nightmare, it's all fake. Look around you, look at me on the screen—"
"… "
"Oh." Sang Zhi's mind was a little unclear, "I don't have light here, I'm too lazy to go down and drive."
Duan Jiaxu replied with a smile, "Yes."
"It's all fake," even sitting Sang Zhi felt like she was going to fall asleep, and chattered at random, "I'm the real one, everything else is fake."
Duan Jiaxu's voice was low and timid: "I know."
The two of them chatted one after another, and Sang Zhi unknowingly lay on the bed again and gradually fell asleep.
The phone in his hand is still not hung up.
The person on the other end listened to her gentle breathing, laughed softly, and gradually fell asleep.
until dawn.
In the new week, Sang Zhi went to work in the company as usual.
As usual, Shi Xiaoyu targeted and stabbed him, and then responded neatly. Seeing Shi Xiaoyu who was so mad at her every time, Sang Zhi still had a very happy feeling.
After get off work, Shi Xiaoyu packed his bag and left on time. Before leaving, she glanced at Sang Zhi coldly, and said with a blank face, "Finish the report and go back."
Sang Zhi nodded: "Oh."
After she left, Sang Zhi also began to pack up and prepare to get off work.
Noticing the situation on her side, He Pengxing's eyes widened: "You are leaving? Didn't I ask you to sort out the report?"
Sang Zhi: "I'll sort it out tomorrow."
Wan Zhe envied: "Sang Zhi, why are you so arrogant?"
He Pengxing: "You will be scolded to death by Sister Xiaoyu for coming here tomorrow."
"I've been scolded for not tidying up," Sang Zhi said. "Then I might as well get off work early, have a good rest, recharge my batteries, and wait for her to scold me tomorrow."
"… "
Wan Zhe: "I want to be as old as her, and I can be so cool."
He Pengxing: "I can be so cool if I don't plan to become a regular."
Sang Zhi: "..."
It's really fun to work that way.
After leaving the company, Sang Zhi didn't feel tired either. Get on the subway and go downstairs to Duan Jiaxu's company to wait for him to get off work. She found a sushi restaurant and ordered a set meal at random.
She pulled out a comic.
Not long after, Sang Zhi received a call from Li Ping.
She picked it up.
Li Ping: "Just, where are you now? Are you still working overtime?"
Sang Zhi bit the sushi and said, "No, I just got off work. I'm having dinner now."
"Just hurry back to the dormitory after eating, you know?" Li Ping sighed. "You're alone there, which makes me so worried. I'll look for an internship in Nanwu in the future, will it work?"
"It's okay," Sang Zhi glanced at the time, "I should be back at eight o'clock, it won't be too late."
"Okay, I'll make a video with my mother later."
"it is good."
Sang Zhi hung up the phone and didn't take this matter to heart, and continued eating sushi.
Soon, Duan Jiaxu also came.
Sang Zhi also ordered one for him and said, "I have to go back early today, my mother wants to make a video with me."
"Um."
After dinner, Duan Jiaxu sent Sang Zhi back to school.
He didn't drive. After the two got off the subway, they walked towards Yihe University hand in hand: "Shi Xiaoyu asked me to fill her a glass of warm water today, and I'll fill her up."
"and then."
"After I finished the installation, she scolded me, saying that she obviously wanted cold water." Sang Zhi became interested in mentioning this, "I just said that the water dispenser can't get cold water."
Duan Jiaxu thought it was funny: "Then?"
"She was very angry, and said how could there be no cold water. I said, then you try it, and she tried it. Then she told me that it would be fine. I said, maybe I will break it as soon as I use it— "
Before Sang Zhi could finish speaking, her phone suddenly rang.
As Sang Zhi spoke, she took out her phone and saw that the caller ID was actually Sang Yan. She blinked and picked it up very spinelessly: "Why?"
The head paused and said in a cool tone, "Have you returned to the dormitory?"
"Why do you and mother have to ask again today," Sang Zhi said inexplicably, "I'm almost at school now, what's the matter?"
"So," Sang Yan said from her mouth, "now at the school gate, with a man, the person holding hands, it's you, right?"
"… "
Extremely sudden speech.
Sang Zhi was still a little dazed. He didn't realize the meaning of his words for a while, and looked around subconsciously: "Ah? Brother, have you come to Yihe?"
The phone has been hung up.
Sang Zhi also discovered the existence of Sang Yan at the same time.
He was on the side of the road, staring blankly at the hands they held. A taxi started next to him and disappeared into the traffic, as if taking away all the sounds in the world.
Sang Yan said lightly, "Am I blind?"
"… "
"Why do I think your graduate student boyfriend," Sang Yan sneered, "looks like Duan Jiaxu's dog?"
