Chapter 22 Six Day in the Heart

The chirping of birds in the morning is very sweet. I woke up very early today, but I was still too lazy to get up. I sat on the bed with difficulty, holding the guitar that had been damaged by water the day before yesterday. I still had a chance to take it. I picked up the guitar and started playing. I heard a familiar melody, but it was a bit broken. I sang: "The wind in the Red Dust Inn is like a knife, and the sudden rain is struck by fate. No matter who is the leader in the martial arts, I will only bend my waist for you ~ Crossing the deserted village and wild bridge to find On an ancient road, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the catkins are floating in my hand and I am carefree~"

As the melody slowed down, I played and sang a little emotionally, but suddenly a knock on the door attracted me, and I took the guitar , I rounded my head, and went to open the door in my pajamas. I yawned and opened the door. Shirai Aki stood outside the door, looking at me with an unhappy face, with his hands intertwined and his mouth pouting. I felt a little It was funny, but I still suppressed my laughter and asked, "What's the matter with coming to visit your friendly neighbor so early in the morning?"

I raised my eyebrows at her, looking very proud. , I was secretly smug. The wall in my room was not soundproof. My solo performance just now clearly woke her up, but I just wanted her to take the initiative and just come to me and chat with me. It would be better than me. Smoking and drinking in the early morning are much better.

"Can you please stop disturbing the people and disturbing my sleep."

She said unhappily with a listless look on her face. I feel like I didn't do anything wrong. Why should she? Can you just control me?

"If you find me annoying, you can move out of here and go to your original house."

I leaned against the doorframe with a smile on my face and said, and then ran my fingers across the guitar's strings. The string made a burst of sound. She was a little angry and speechless to reply to me. She was obviously choked by me. Her fake angry expression was really cute. Not to mention she was wearing bear pajamas. She was so cute. , her hair lingers around her ears, with a somewhat beautiful charm.

She angrily kicked my toes hard, hitting my toes just in time. A pain came over me. I said "ouch", and she was like a child who made a mistake, smiling at me. He ran out of the door of his room, and before leaving, he even scolded me as "I deserve it."

"Fuck you, you are playing dirty."

I complained, but her temper was still so hot and fierce. It seemed that she had never experienced the beatings from society. Still too tender.

I didn’t want to worry too much. After returning to my room, I put down my guitar, lit a cigarette and went to the balcony to enjoy the sunrise in Shanghai. The sunrise in Shanghai dispelled the white fog that filled the sky, revealing the white sky. The bright pearls under the fog, the rain and dew in the park, the small pavilion by the river, and the chirping of insects in the green belt are all so beautiful and refreshing. The humid air is full of vitality for a new day. The rising sun dissipates the cold light of the moon.

I looked to the left. On the small balcony, the woman, like me, was lying on the guardrail admiring the sunrise. She had already tucked her hair behind her ears, and her face was full of energy. This is probably because the sunlight hits her face, and her face carries a hazyThe sunshine is like a sunflower, always facing the sun. Her face is very delicate, with no acne marks or pimples, and her skin is as white as jade.

She looked very absorbed, as if she didn’t notice me. I took a puff of cigarette, held the smoke in my mouth, then got close to her, and blew out a long snake-like breath towards her through the half-meter guardrail. Smoke, smoke crossed her face, leaving no trace of pollution in the fresh air in front of her. She smelled the smell of smoke that did not come from near her, and was immediately pulled back from the beautiful scenery. She frowned and turned to look I scolded: "Are you sick?"

"Hahahaha, if you are sick, I will infect you and make you sick too, then we will all be crazy."

I smiled and joked, but she was a little angry, but she looked at me helplessly, "It's boring, it's really unreasonable."

She said, I regained my previous expression, and then lay down on the balcony without guardrails , beside the one-meter-high red bricks, I stroked the potted plants and looked at the sunrise in the distance. Then I looked at Shirai Akie with a proud face in the spring breeze, using a tone of joy that I had never heard before, excited and restrained. Said: "Good morning!"

The breeze of the moon cannot take away the sweet dreams of people pretending to be asleep. The morning light of the rising sun cannot illuminate the awakening of sleeping people. When the flowers bloom, they cannot always bathe in the sun. Crabs on the beach They do not belong to the sea, the warmth belongs to darkness, and the chill only exists in Japan... What I want to say is... People who pretend to be asleep have no sweet dreams, no one who is sleeping is awake, and flowers cannot It blooms when it is impossible to bathe in the sun. Crabs can swim in the sea and walk on land. Warmth belongs to the light, and coldness only belongs to the darkness...

Just like me, I don't I will use any form to express a thing that cannot be expressed in words. I can only pretend to be true and give a contrary affirmation to something that will not happen. I want to express that the sun is beautiful today and the scenery is great. Intuitive description can only It will ruin the scenery and reduce the value of the scenery itself, so I use "Good morning" to express today's greatness, and also express my praise for Shirai Akie. The other meaning is that you are like the sun, beautiful and great· ·····

This is silent envy or secret love, but I can't like her yet. I still have to wait for Gu Wei's answer. I am still a wandering person. I miss Gu Wei. The fog in my eyes, I want to see the moon reflected in Gu Wei's eyes. I don't want to bend down to pick up the sixpences on the ground anymore. I want to chase my moon. I want to go through the dark forest, even if there are beautiful fairy tales and terrifying legends in it. , there are delicate princesses, brave and fearless princes, seven weird dwarfs, ancient talking trees and animals, but none of these can stop me. I want to go to that distant place, the lighthouse on the sea of ​​England, waiting for me. The lighthouse girls, we are winged birds. Neither of us can fly without the winged birds, but I firmly believe that we will eventually soar over the neon city like birds with soaring wings...

"Isn't there just a few bad money? It's amazing? Money is not everything. The more the merrier is good, but you can't be arrogant and see no one!"

I complained After saying a few words, I walked back to the house angrily. I actually didn't resent the fact that she was rich, but her unruly attitude disgusted me. I wanted to correct this shortcoming of hers. She is beautiful and has a good temperament. Sometimes she speaks naughtily, and sometimes she speaks seriously. These are her strengths. I can see in private that her unruliness, indifference to me, and unwillingness to listen to persuasion are her weaknesses.

I didn’t think much about it, thinking that reforming her strengths and weaknesses could be pushed back later. Anyway, it’s not the time yet. After I sorted it out, I went out to work. I was very busy this day. There was basically no rest time. I asked Li Ping to pour me a few cups of coffee. In order to make up for being late and delaying my work yesterday, I worked hard today.

Yu Qing held a stack of documents in his arms, then walked over hurriedly, picked up the coffee I put on the table and took a sip without hesitation, then sat back at his office and took out the coffee in his arms. He handed me two large piles of documents and said hurriedly: "Please make all these plans as a reference, then select the best and avoid the worst, and try to use the selected plans to advance the task progress by 10% today." < /p>

I nodded, took the document, opened it a few times, selected the easiest solutions to start with, and then started working hard. This may have really reached a critical juncture for the company. Nowadays, the competition in Shanghai is very fierce. Large companies have already been firmly in high positions. They eat meat and leave soup. The promotion of small businesses can only start by drinking soup. But a portion of soup is consumed by dozens of companies. What should I do if I don’t get enough points?

Then rely on your own strength and the chips in your hands to play a game. Each life and death game is very important. Sometimes the company will jump over the dragon gate and suddenly become famous. Sometimes They will also fall into the abyss, be removed from the market, withdraw from the public eye, and then go bankrupt. These are all side effects of a game. However, in the eyes of the high class, these crucial games are just children and mud, playing with them. Same as son.

This is why I hate rich and unruly people. They don’t care about the fate and struggles of ordinary workers like us. People are either standing on the top floor of the Oriental Pearl Tower, overlooking Shanghai, or in an office building Staying up late and working overtime, being looked down upon by others, this is the gap, the class gap. Some people are so poor that they cannot reach the top floor of a certain building in their entire lives. They have never seen the scenery looked down from such an angle. They only glimpse the sky, full of inferiority, or lack of confidence. Look up so you can't see the higher classes, but you can't see the dreams either.

I will do this work until dusk. I light a cigarette, then lean on the office chair and putI relaxed my body, smoked, felt comfortable, and stared blankly at the computer, looking at the completed plan. There was no joy in my heart, no happiness at all, no sadness, no negativity, no heart and no heart, just staring blankly. Standing still, letting the dusk light outside shine on you, matching the smoke.

Several colleagues passed by after get off work and teased me for working overtime until dusk for the first time. I just smiled and ignored me. I know my nature, arriving early and leaving early. This kind of physical and mental exhaustion after work should be It is a common household chore for every migrant worker. After dragging his tired body, he returns home, his wife prepares a meal, and the children watch TV in the living room. After taking a bath, he drinks a can of cold beer and eats. Then I smoke a cigarette, then wash up and go to bed. Maybe this kind of life is what I dream of and what I have in mind.

I finish my work. This delusion is still too far away, but it is also very close to me. I am already twenty-six years old and have reached the age to get married. Maybe my parents will have to urge me to go home for the New Year. I went on a blind date to find a suitable match, but I didn’t know if there were any beautiful girls in my hometown, which has always been a war-fighting province.

I smiled. This idea is very naive. All men are lustful. It may be false to say that he loves money, but he may like beautiful women. This may be true. He is not a man. You don’t want to find a good-looking wife, but if a good-looking and virtuous wife is given to you, don’t be an idiot.

On my way home, when I passed by the familiar Gu Ming milk tea shop, I actually bumped into Shirai Akie. She bought a cup of coffee at the front desk. While waiting, I came I stood next to her Ferrari 296Gtb, smoked a cigarette, and watched the behavior of Shirai Akie in the milk tea shop not far away. She was very polite and polite when taking the coffee from the clerk. I was puzzled. She It's different from what I thought. There is no arrogance or airs. Instead, he greets you politely and uses honorifics.

She came over and was very confused when she saw me standing next to the passenger door. She did not use the remote control car key to remotely unlock the door immediately, so she was still wary of me.

"Why are you here?"

She looked at me doubtfully and kept a certain distance from me. She probably hated the smell of cigarettes and was afraid of being contaminated by it, so I put the cigarette away. Throw it away and step on it a few times until it is gone. Then he looks at her and says, "Can't you come if nothing happens?"

"I can come."

This chapter is not finished yet. Click on the next page to continue reading.

She adopted a gentle approach to my unreasonable troubles. She did not care about it or take it seriously, but had a very patient look on her face. I ignored her and said boldly: "Send me home."

"Why?"

She stared at me doubtfully, frowning slightly. I didn't want to say too much. I was very tired today. I was so tired that I didn't want to be serious with her. I just Neng responded lazily: "On the way."

"We are on different roads."

She answered coldly. I doubt she was still worried about today.I was angry about what happened in the morning. I really didn’t want to quarrel with her. I didn’t have the energy. She didn’t understand how tired I was, so I didn’t care. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have blown smoke to you this morning, so please take me home. I will I’m very tired and don’t want to squeeze into the bus.”

I begged her, but she still declined and put the coffee back into the cup groove on the right side of the driver’s seat through the car door. Later, I was confused and didn't believe what she said about "not going smoothly." I thought it was her excuse and reason, so I said firmly, "I don't believe it was not going smoothly."

She glanced at me, Then he seemed to have lost interest and walked to the driving position, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Anyway, the light bulb in my room is broken and I don't want to light the lamp, so I will go back to Tan Palace today and find someone to fix it tomorrow."

I almost gasped, Tan Gong! Such a high-end residence costs 560,000 yuan per square meter. This girl actually owns such a nice big villa! It almost scared my jaw off. I was a little trembling. What is the origin of this woman in front of me? It feels like the price of the Ferrari 296Gtb she drove has dropped. How much wealth does she have behind her?

I looked at her with these questions. She stopped in front of the car door and said with some dissatisfaction: "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. Every time it's a fake apology, and never one can be fulfilled. Apology Too much will make it cheap."

She opened the door and got in the car. I also tried to pull the passenger door, but it didn't unlock. I was a little panicked. Did she really want to? Abandon me here? Do you really want me to squeeze into the bus? We have been riding each other under each other for the past few days. I quickly said: "Oh, I can repair light bulbs. Don't spend those wasted money to find someone to repair it. Leave it to me and I will fix it for you tonight." < /p>

She looked at it doubtfully, but did not step on the accelerator immediately, and said, "You know how?"

"Hey, I'm guaranteed to know how, and there's a guarantee that it won't break again within a year. I'm here for free again. I also have a lot of life skills. You don't know, it's normal. After all, I have many skills, but I have to hide them."

She glanced at me, who was laughing, and said coldly. She replied coldly: "No, I'd better find someone to fix it. I won't trust you if I leave it to you."

She still has a grudge against me, fearing that I might do something to her house without her knowledge. I was a little speechless about the tampering. The person who offered to repair the light bulb for free did not choose it, but he chose to spend a lot of money. If my mother were here, I would have to scold me so much that my cervical vertebrae would not be able to straighten.

"Oh, Auntie, just do it, okay. I do have a plan for you, but I just want to ask you to give me a ride home. By the way, I will buy light bulbs for you in the small shop downstairs. Repair it and get the best of both worlds, okay?"

I begged in a low voice and looked at her pitifully. She thought for a while and glanced at me. She must have been thinking about this solution. Finally, the passenger door suddenly opened. After unlocking the door, she said: "Okay, okay, let's see how pitiful you are to get in the car. Since you called me aunt, then I'm a good person."I will do it to the end and send you back. ”

I finally convinced her. It was not easy. I opened the door and sat on it. Then I breathed a sigh of relief. The seat was so comfortable. I fastened my seat belt. Then I left here. She was always smiling and snickering from time to time. Maybe she didn't take my pleas seriously, and she was happy to call her "aunt". Hey, you can bow your head when you should bow your head under other people's roof. There is no need to force it, just feel free to do it. She is fine, and she will scream a few more times if she likes it. Anyway, I am not at a loss. If I don’t bow my head, I will be the only one in trouble.

Sometimes dignity is very expensive, provided that it is in front of outsiders. Sometimes dignity is very cheap. , the prerequisite is that she can reveal her hidden extravagance in front of someone close to her.

She drove me downstairs to the rental house, gave me the key to her house, and asked me to do it before leaving. After repairing it, I couldn't be lazy, sleep on her bed, use her toiletries, or even have to leave quickly after repairing the light bulb.

I nodded, watched her drive away, and walked downstairs alone. Shop, I have seen what the lights in her room look like. I bought a similar but different model. Anyway, the length is the same. I moved a telescopic stainless steel ladder from my house. After changing the light bulbs in her room, I pressed the switch. I tried to light it up, but the light bulb was fine and the room was very bright, so I took a photo and sent it to her.

I stretched, yawned, and ate a bowl of noodles. After taking a shower, I went back to the house to sleep. I lay on the bed and looked at my phone.

"Today is Children's Day. ”

I sighed. I didn’t pay much attention to the date today. They were all the same anyway. Suddenly, I missed my childhood. I lived quite comfortably in my hometown town and had a wonderful childhood. It can be said that I have no worries about food and clothing, unlike now, it’s really boring.

I posted a message on WeChat Moments, “Happy Children’s Day, congratulations on your childlike innocence. ”

I looked at the title and smiled. For such a grown-up person, it is still childish after Children’s Day, but it also reflects from the side that I still have a childlike innocence. I looked at the circle of friends and saw that Qing didn’t post much. She must have been busy. Just when I was about to turn off my phone and go to sleep, a red dot suddenly popped out. I looked at the source of the red dot. It was Shirai Akie, the woman who had just posted it to me. Liked it in her circle of friends

She also attached a picture under the comment. On the luxurious table in her living room made of unknown precious wood, there is a very exquisite and beautiful table. The cake has a chocolate card on it that says "Happy Children's Day, Ms. Shirai Akie!" "", Shirai Akie is in the middle, making a wish with her hands clasped together. The candles on the cake also look very high-end, incomparable to those sold on the street.

She wore a crown to celebrate her birthday. Same, but this time it’s Children’s Day. She went back to Tan Palace today, probably because she wanted to celebrate Children’s Day, but I’m curious who took this photo of her? Maybe it was her best friend, or maybe it was her. Parents... No, she has no parents...

I sighed, I am not happy this June 1st. I can only pin my so-called happiness on words, without actual actions, and words are unfounded, but she proved herself with actions. It’s the gap, the gap caused by money. Money can bring rights, status and dignity. It is a direct way for people to transcend classes. Sometimes learning does not guarantee that you will make money in society. You have to struggle all the time.

Some people graduated from the University of London or domestic 985 college students, and those with postgraduate master's degrees are looking for jobs after graduation. Although many people can enter the world's top 500 companies, they are dismissed after not working for a long time. They were fired and went home to eat day lilies because they didn't understand the rules of the workplace.

It is difficult to survive without the guidance of seniors. In the social workplace, if you have a diploma but no eloquence, no understanding of the world, and no understanding of reason, then you are just a nerd. You can just go to the finance department. This is what we pay attention to outside. Now it is not a public-private partnership. You don't have to worry about your own dignity. Sometimes you can flatter me when you need it, and you can get benefits when you need it. It's no big deal.

I may be lucky. I got help from Huang Wentong, an old-timer, to pave the way for me to avoid being fired. I have to thank him. I looked at my phone and left a message under her picture.

"Happy Children's Day, I wish all of us who are still children at heart."

Then she also left a message.

"Yeah, same thing. Thank you for helping me fix the light bulb."

The light bulb is a simple task, but this should be regarded as her blessing. I smiled and closed the phone. , close your eyes, there is everything in your dream...
