Damn, what did Yang Han Lu say in the end? Surprisingly, she became friends with Li Xin? And Li Xin is also angry with me.
I tried to ask her what she said, but Li Xin didn’t answer any of my questions and was still upset. I tried to convince her: “Yang Han Lu isn’t really a good person, and you need to listen to your brother and tell me what she said.”
Li Xin pouted: "You are even worse, I'm not going to talk to you." And as she went to her bed, she turned over and went to sleep.
How helpless... I said we haven't even eaten yet, let's at least go eat first.
The little girl's temperament gives me a headache, but it's pretty endearing, so I dislike her for it.
I stopped asking questions, and changed the subject. She was really hungry anyways, and agreed to go and eat dinner with me.
I took a shower first, and then the two of us went downstairs to go out and eat. It was already seven o'clock in the evening and it got dark quickly during winter, so it seemed like it was ten o’clock rather than seven, and it was dark everywhere.
But there are many pedestrians on the street, and many couples too. Li Xin was still angry with me, and I tried to cheer her up all the way, but unfortunately it did not work. And I tried to recommend a costly restaurant, but she shook her head: “No, we don’t have enough money for that, let’s go and eat some rice noodles.”
Today is a good day, we just moved into a new home, who would eat rice noodles today? I checked my wallet, and Li Xin also checked her, the two of us together had less than a hundred yuan.
But this should be enough for a decent meal. I said we should go ahead and celebrate. Li Xin was stressed: “Then how would we live later?”
This was a problem, but I could probably just ask the landlord for some money, or even borrow some from Yang Han Lu. I said we could just borrow some money, to which she wrinkled her nose and said: “It’s bad if we just keep borrowing money, I’ll just try to find a job or something.”
I was taken aback and immediately disagreed: "We came here so you wouldn't have to go to work, what are you doing? It's okay, I'll pay back the money that we’d borrow."
Li Xin gently shook her head: "I'll do some smaller jobs, it won't be tiring, anyways spending the whole winter vacation lying at home, ah, it's very boring."
So that's what she means, that's fine. I asked but what about the shop you worked for? Li Xin shook her head: "Can't, Xia's business really only did well during school, right now basically no one goes there, so I have to rely on a salary. She also doesn't have much money after paying the rent..."
After she said this, I suddenly realized something troubling: “Did she not pay you for the two or three months you worked before?”
Li Xin was very helpless: "If she doesn’t make enough money… she plans on shutting down."
I was really surprised, Sister Xia's business going down?
"Only on weekends that there are people, but it's usually just a few."
I didn't pay much attention to this situation, and it's really hard to imagine this. Sister Xia is our friend, and Li Xin definitely doesn't want to bother her.
I asked Li Xin what side jobs she intended to do, and she already had something in mind: "Many places are looking for people to hand out flyers, and since students can work part-time there, I plan on going there and taking the job, it’s easy and I won’t get tired.”
I hesitated for a moment and said okay, if you don't want to do it, don't force yourself. She smiled sweetly and said she wouldn't.
In the end, we went to eat rice noodles, and just ate on the street. There really wasn't a way we could afford any kind of large meal with how tight we were on money.
But nonetheless, we were still pretty happy right now, Li Xin looked like a child, and was very carefree at this moment, it made me want to laugh.
But then, came someone who ruined our atmosphere, and I got so angry that my mouth was lopsided.
Zhang Xiong came out of nowhere, and brought a few friends here for food too, then he saw me, and ran over excitedly.
What a pain in the ass, why the hell is he so persistent, ah. Li Xin saw him, and since the last time she saw him was at the skating rink, she immediately rushed to my side and hid behind me.
I told Zhang Xiong off: "What do you want? If it's nothing, fuck off." He looked at Li Xin, and was very embarrassed, he rubbed his hands and smiled reluctantly: "Hello brother Chen, I did not expect such a coincidence."
I told Li Xin to wait a moment, then got up to take Zhang Xiong away, and after taking him far away I warned him: "Do not appear in front of me again!"
His friends were very shocked and did not dare to do anything. Zhang Xiong smiled like a wimp: "Brother Chen, I have found a few like-minded friends, and we intend to start a gang......"
I want to slap him. Damn he's still thinking about this. I told him to go away, and to stop talking nonsense otherwise I'll punch him to death.
He went away, very sad, his several friends also left, but kept whispering non-stop.
I cursed a few times, and went back to find Li Xin, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing me: "Brother, what did that man want?"
She was really scared, I guess the last incident has left a few scars. I comforted her: "Don't be afraid, he's changed, right now he is afraid of me."
Li Xin calmed down, and put some of the noodles in my mouth. I said bitterly: “Ah, your chopsticks.”
I hurriedly ate, and coaxed her for a while, then she smiled, the corners of her mouth curled upwards, this look suited her more.
After that we went home, and the day was over, and the two of us said good night and went to bed.
Each room had an air conditioning unit, and I turned mine on due to the cold, then I went to sleep.
After having to wake in order to use the restroom, I remembered that Li Xin was very against the idea of turning it on because of the electricity bills.
I opened her door to check, damn it, she really did not turn on her air conditioning.
How the hell can I let this happen? No matter how thick her blanket was, it wasn’t enough. I hurried in to turn on the heater, but she woke up. I said: “Don’t worry about the cost. If you catch a cold, it will be more expensive to see a doctor.”
She was very adamant about the electricity bill and said she was not cold.
How would I know if the blanket that Yang Han Lu brought was warm or cold? There's no way that blanket could be that warm.
I then looked at her foot and went to touch it, it was ice cold. I got angry, and Li Xin looked at me pitfully, and didn’t say anything.
I said if you don’t turn on your unit, then I’ll turn them all on, and neither of us want that.
She sniffled and said that she would turn it on later. I let her go, but her feet were still cold, and I was really distressed, so now I needed to find a way to warm her feet up.
I squatted next to her bed and put her feet on my chest to warm them up.
She looked at me blankly and said she was no longer cold, but I just ignored her, and let her feet rest on my chest for about 10 minutes before stopping.
My chest also got a little cold, but her feet had warmed up. I helped her pull the covers back on, and she lay staring at me, her eyes clear and soft.
The air in the room also warmed up, now I was not afraid, and I let her sleep, I also went back to sleep.
The night passed.
The next day, Li Xin woke up, she also went to buy breakfast back, muttering that I needed to quickly eat.
I was naturally polite, and she ate while talking. After breakfast she wanted to go out to look for work. I said I'll accompany you, she looked at me: "Do leaflets also need you to accompany me ah, I am not a child."
Alright then, I told her to be safe. She smiled and ran away, and I started writing articles. Living alone was pretty hard and since she was making money, I also wanted to help.
This was also more convenient, I could write articles and go to Lin Yin Yin quickly.
Today I just focused just on writing, and I was halfway done already, and I had to revise and correct it several times, and when I took a little break I realized it was already evening.
I really didn't realize I was writing my manuscript with the AC on. It was getting dark very fast, I frowned, Li Xin hasn’t come back, she might’ve gone out to eat, but why hasn't she come back now that it's evening?
She’s not working this late, right? I was very uneasy, afraid that something happened to her. But I think I’m overthinking it, I can’t really go out, because what if she comes back when I’m out, and I didn’t even know where she was handing those leaflets.
I looked out from the balcony, at the street below, hoping she would show up soon.
Unfortunately, even when it got dark she did not appear, the street barbecue stalls were still open, and the street lamps would soon light up.
Now I totally panicked, she must be in trouble. I immediately got ready to go out and find her, but I suddenly saw a figure at the end of the street running, and in a panic.
It was Li Xin. I breathed a long sigh of relief, but wondered, what happened to her? I took one more glance and I was furious, there were three punks running behind her, with Zhang Xiong leading them.
I thought it was Zhang Xiong again guilty of being a bitch, but I did not expect that Zhang Xiong had a bruised nose and swollen face, and seemed to be running for his life.
I went straight to the kitchen to grab the knife left by the landlord and hurried down, alright then, I want to see who has the balls to do this!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
