Chapter 10

It is indeed... the moral standards of society are declining and people's hearts are no longer as they used to be... Su Mo, don't be angry, how about we go back and make a puppet to poke fun at these tasteless people?

Lin Xi's expression immediately turned impatient, "Why bother with so much! Just take it if I give it to you!" Noticing Lin Xi's displeasure, Ruan Su Mo did not want to provoke her further and could only accept it for the time being, planning to find an appropriate moment to inquire more.

Ruan Su Mo exclaimed, "Gu An Sheng, you must have been deceived. There are at most three jin here. Are these oranges made of gold? How can they be so expensive?"

At night, when Lixia slept with her back to Ruan Sumo, although she could hear the other person's even breathing, Ruan Sumo knew that she was not asleep

Then, Ruan Su Mo clearly saw that Lixia, who had originally been bending at the waist, paused for a long time, and there was no longer any movement from her hands

The scenery outside the window flashed by, and the train rumbled loudly. Ruan Su Mo's chaotic thoughts were stirred into even greater confusion. She felt drowsy, and when she awoke, her arms were already numb and sore. They had just arrived at a station, where the noise of the crowd was overwhelming, and there was only about half an hour's journey left to Jing Shui Alley.

Ruan Su Mo was taken aback and exclaimed, "Where did you get so much money?"

A room of silence

The boy secretly feels a slight sense of regret

Before returning home, Ruan Su Mo called the convenience store next door to connect with her mother, informing her of her estimated arrival time. To her surprise, her mother came to the intersection to pick her up, looking as if she had been waiting for a long time, her eyes revealing anxiety. Ruan Su Mo's heart softened instantly, a wave of sourness rising within her.

There is no need for unnecessary words; it is enough to know that at this moment, she needs companionship. Thus, Ruan Su Mo no longer made any excuses and chose to stay.

Ruan Su Mo was extremely distressed; she embraced the other person tightly, pressing the girl's head against her frail shoulder

Ruan Su Mo did not notice Gu An Sheng's expression and psychological changes, but walked on her own. It was only upon reaching her destination that she realized the fruit stand had already vanished without a trace. She could not believe that a person could disappear into thin air in such a short time.

Ruan Su Mo did not find Li Xia at her home. After waiting for a long time on the steps at the entrance, the sky had turned completely dark when she finally saw a few people walking in from the alley. Ruan Su Mo stood up, took a few steps forward, and discovered that one of them was indeed Li Xia. She was supporting a middle-aged man along with a middle-aged woman, as they limped their way inside.

Please forgive me, this is not what Ruan Su Mo intended; she is merely afraid that Gu An Sheng might misunderstand her as a casual person

Gu An Sheng accompanied Ruan Su Mo to the train station. Although there were not many people coming and going on the platform, the air remained humid and hot. Gu An Sheng pulled the suitcase and walked with Ruan Su Mo towards the designated carriage entrance. Along the way, he stopped at a nearby fruit stall to weigh a few kilograms of oranges. After receiving the items and making the payment, he turned around and found Ruan Su Mo looking at him. He stepped forward to walk alongside her again and handed her the fruit in his hand.

The young man paused for a moment before saying, "I haven't contacted her these past few days; there's no need to be together every day since time is still ample." He then shifted the topic, asking, "Are you preparing to go home?" Ruan Su Mo nodded.

Gu Ansheng took out a small piece of paper and stuffed it into Ruan Sumo's hand

Lixia suddenly spoke up

Young love, overshadowed by the burdensome family background, has lost its initial clarity and brightness. Li Xia has little left, and Zhou Jiayan is her most extravagant fairy tale and dream. Now, even her fairy tale and dream have fallen from grace. Perhaps the shattering was merely a matter of time. Li Xia recalls Zhou Jiayan's face and gently closes her eyes

This is my dad and mom

Gu Ansheng glanced at his pocket and suddenly said with a bit of embarrassment, "I cannot read the scale."

What is the matter

When the train arrived at the station, there were not many people getting off. This little-known city lay quietly, many of whom were even unheard of. Ruan Su Mo dragged a large suitcase, waiting for the bus to the small town. She was fortunate enough to catch a bus that had just arrived. After another bout of bumps, Ruan Su Mo had not slept well these past few days, always plagued by nightmares, where she found herself entangled by a python, unable to call for help, waking up in a cold sweat. At this moment, she felt even more dizzy and disoriented, but fortunately, the vehicle arrived just in time.

Let us quench our thirst by eating oranges on the road

Oh, why isn't He Xun with you?

Ruan Su Mo felt somewhat indignant, feeling even more distressed than when she had been deceived herself. Instinctively, she grabbed the boy's hand and was about to turn back, preparing to confront the stall owner. In that fleeting moment, a surge of electricity suddenly coursed through Gu An Sheng's veins.

Glimmering with brilliance, her smile is as radiant as a flower

I am just about to look for you

Why did we suddenly receive a call stating that we no longer need to repay the money

That night, there was no starlight

Take a deep breath and exhale a few times

If they are just friends, why would he want to hold her hand, and even feel a sense of loss after letting go? Gu Ansheng suddenly found himself afraid to think deeply about it, feeling a bit like escaping, and in fact, he did just that. After seeing Ruan Sumo off at the train station, before the train even started moving, Gu Ansheng casually said a few words and then disappeared from the platform, even forgetting to say goodbye

Finally, Li Mu broke the silence, his face filled with apprehension and questions

Ruan Su Mo pursed her lips and shook her head vigorously in denial, finally pointing to the orange in her hand

Unaware that she would say such childish words, Gu Ansheng looked at Ruan Sumo's face for a while before she couldn't help but laugh. The two of them were completely oblivious to the fact that their hands were still clasped together. It was finally Ruan Sumo's right hand, which was holding the orange, that began to feel sore, and as she prepared to switch to her left hand, she suddenly realized that Gu Ansheng's fingers were still in the palm of her left hand, which startled her into immediately letting go.

On the day of her graduation, Li Xia ran home, only to be startled by the scene before her. The house was in disarray, as if it had just been the target of a robbery. If it weren't for the yellowed, long-standing wedding photo of her parents hanging on the wall, she would have thought she had mistakenly stumbled onto the set of a gangster film. She was aware that her father had borrowed 120,000 yuan in high-interest loans and lost it all, and she immediately understood what had happened.

"Su Mo, I would rather he remain unaware of this. I would prefer to bear the family's debts and repay them slowly myself, rather than have him make this sacrifice for me!" After saying this, she could no longer hold back her sobs, and her cries were stifled, causing Li Xia to tremble all over, with hot tears rolling down into Ruan Su Mo's neck.

Ruan Su Mo chuckled, "Young Master Gu, do you have to be so malicious? Someone just charged you a little extra money, and you want to curse them for the rest of their life?"

Both her father and mother are very hospitable. Seeing that it was getting late, they were also concerned about Ruan Su Mo, a young girl, walking alone at night, so they insisted on having her stay at their home for the night. Ruan Su Mo was contemplating how to decline, as it seemed inappropriate for her, an outsider, to be in this situation.

This is the tuition and living expenses for your four years of university, along with a small reserve for emergencies. You must take good care of it.

Upon returning home, before Ruan Su Mo could finish packing her luggage, Lin Xi pulled her into the inner room and took out a slightly yellowed pouch from under the pillow, handing it to her. Ruan Su Mo looked at Lin Xi in confusion, but the latter gestured with her eyes for her to open it.

It is a very new passbook

As Ruan Su Mo took the item, Gu An Sheng suddenly realized that the other person's gaze was still on him. The boy finally touched his face and hesitantly spoke up.

This was supposed to be a warm moment, yet Lin Xi's tone remained somewhat cold and hard. After all these years, it seems unlikely that such a tone could change.

In this world, there are always numerous scripts that continuously rotate and perform.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw Lin Xi standing at the intersection waiting.

I held hands with He Xun, doing all the things that couples do, such as shopping, watching movies, and occasionally sharing a goodnight kiss. However, the feeling at this moment is different; it is no longer just a casual sense of obligation, but rather a genuine feeling of shyness and a restless desire.

In fact, this is the true nature of Ruan Su Mo. She vented her frustrations incessantly, completely ignoring the presence of another person beside her, the very person she once wished to present herself as a princess in front of. Gu An Sheng seemed to see Ruan Su Mo losing her temper again, just like in the ice shop. Despite her usual demeanor of being quiet and reserved, when she truly spoke, she could definitely deliver a sharp retort. Gu An Sheng glanced at the crowd around them, feeling at a loss due to Ruan Su Mo's righteous words, and he braced himself to continue.

Lixia, this is ... ...

Mother

What is strange?

Let us squeeze together tonight

Isn't this clearly extortion! They just bully us common people, as if money is so easy to make! No matter how much society progresses or how much living standards improve, the moral standards remain unchanged, truly unscrupulous

A class of top students in the science stream at No. 7 Middle School, surprisingly cannot read a scale, who would have known

It seemed as if ten thousand fireworks were bursting in Ruan Su Mo's heart. It is understandable that even the most ordinary men and women yearn to be the one and only in someone's heart

Having finished washing up, Ruan Su Mo emerged from the cramped bathroom, bending slightly. Li Xia was still tidying up the messy living room, while Li Mu sat on a small stool, applying red medicine to Li Xia's father.

Lixia finally turned over and covered Ruan Sumo's mouth, her eyes wide open and her chin raised.

"Su Mo, please do not say anything, I beg you, do not say a word to me."

How much is this

This is my mobile phone number. I bought the phone a while ago, but I always felt it was of no use, so I left it at home. I just applied for this number. If there is anything, please contact me when you return.

Seeing Ruan Su Mo staring at the numbers above in silence for a long time, Lin Xi took the initiative to speak up

Having purchased her train ticket home in advance, Ruan Su Mo unexpectedly encountered Gu An Sheng while waiting for the bus, who was alone. She waved her hand, and upon seeing her, the young man walked over a few steps.

Before this moment, they were a mother and daughter living together day and night, relying on each other for life, yet that term seemed to take on an extraordinary warmth only at that moment

Ruan Su Mo nodded a few times and said, "Hello, uncles and aunts"

Zhou Jiayan, will I wait for you

"Is it true that Zhou Jiayan agreed to go to the UK for the sake of saving your father?" It turns out that Zhou Jiayan's rational concession was accompanied by such understanding

If there is no contact with He Xun, does that mean ... ? ... she is the first person to know the phone number ?
