Chapter 4, The Flowing Light Covered in Dust

Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly changed the subject, and I was taken aback, then foolishly nodded my head.

Hello, Grandma. I bowed.

People were coming and going on the street, when Fan Jia suddenly turned around and asked, "Axi, why did you try to block that stick..."

Xu Jingchuan glanced at me and said lightly, "You take a taxi back, I will take Xia Han back to the dormitory"

I had not responded for a long time, and as my gaze passed over Vanga's shoulder, I saw Gu Mi Yin biting her lip tightly

Gu Mi Yin stepped on my sore spot and scolded me, I did not dare to retort, fearing that she would escalate her anger further

No, in fact, I am not kind; I still have my own selfish motives. If it were someone else, I would call the police and then turn around and leave, indifferent to who gets hurt or who gets caught. But that person is Meng Xilou; I cannot allow anything to happen to Meng Xilou

The streets are empty in the early morning, with the occasional vehicle speeding by. All is silent, and the only sound that can be heard is the sorrowful sobbing echoing in the wind

Seeing him agree, I hurriedly ran into the bar. The girl holding the mask was drinking with a group of people, and I navigated through the crowd to stand in front of her

I recounted the part about drinking to her, and Xia Han patted my shoulder, exclaiming: "Su Xi, you are truly a madman!"

"Hello, sister, may I ask if you could sell me the mask?" I stated my intention directly

I quietly took note of the girl's appearance, preparing to find her later

I was at a loss, and just now, the fierce Xia Han had already fallen asleep on my shoulder

The moment the wine entered my mouth, it was so spicy that tears streamed down my face. My throat felt as if it were being burned through, and my entire stomach was on fire. However, in order to obtain the mask, I poured the wine into my stomach as if it were water.

"Before I take action, you two better get lost quickly and don't obstruct my view here!" Xia Han slurred her harsh words, yet she leaned against me, unable to stand steadily, her mind becoming increasingly unclear.

The home of Vanga's grandparents possesses an indescribable charm, with the most striking feature being a calligraphy piece in the living room that reads: "The highest good is like water"

After a whole morning of turmoil, I finally returned home. My mother only asked me if I had given the money to Xia Han, and did not inquire further.

On the weekend, my mother asked me to return the money to Xia Han. That money did not belong to Gu Yuetian, but was earned by her through a part-time job. The bank card given by Gu Yuetian was placed in the drawer by her

Why did you come back so late

I am indecisive in my heart, thinking of that white mask

Then let us hurry home Two people walked by in a rush

Xia Han pulled me to sit in a corner of the bar and had the waiter bring over two drinks. She handed me a glass of juice and said, "You should drink this, high school student"

Who loves whom, and who can truly articulate it

Vanjia said while wiping his wet hair, "Why don't you stay for dinner? I will take you home later."

I weakly nodded my head

Xi Xi, do not emulate your mother; you must be independent in the future. If you fall in love with someone, do not exhaust all your efforts in loving them. She gazed out the window and spoke softly

I have decided to take a nap first, as I woke up with a sore back and waist after a restless night. Before sleeping, I placed that mask beside my pillow and gently traced the patterns on it, which were filled with the essence of Meng Xilou, as if I were right by his side.

"Xia Han, these are all that you owe me"

Two men approached lewdly, and one of them reached out his hand, attempting to grab Xia Han's hand. I anxiously supported Xia Han and stepped back a few paces until we retreated to the corner of the wall, with no further retreat possible

It turns out that he looks like this when he is not at school

This is the first time we are bringing a classmate home, are you two in a relationship

I do not know

Seeing him busy, I couldn't help but ask: "Is your grandmother ill?"

The woman replied, "Perhaps she has no home."

Since he said that, I have no choice but to call home to report. It was Gu Mi Yin who answered the phone. I asked her to pass on the message, and she coldly replied, "Alright"

However, Gu Mi Yin's rhetorical question indeed caught me off guard. In my heart, I had never thought of Meng Xi Lou as a petty hoodlum; my impression of him was still rooted in Suhe Town, lingering in that season of blooming peach blossoms.

I feel a slight joy in my heart, as I have come to understand him a little better.

This mask is very important to me, but its owner is even more important.

I held the mask, almost leaning against the wall as I walked out of the bar. Xu Jingchuan supported Xia Han, standing not far away. I suppressed the turmoil in my stomach and slowly walked over.

Su Xi, this is all the achievement you have managed to attain

Despite the dust still on Vanka's face and his disheveled appearance, there were still people who looked at him as he walked down the road

I did not expect that the next day when I went to school, Vanga was standing at the classroom door waiting for me. When he saw me, he walked over with a beaming smile and handed me a bag

What she is drinking seems to be called Long Island Iced Tea, a name that includes tea, yet it is an alcoholic beverage, and it has a particularly strong aftereffect. Xia Han has a particularly low tolerance for alcohol; after just one glass, it isn't long before her face flushes.

I no longer wish to go to the corridor to enjoy the scenery, fearing that she will dislike me even more and direct her anger towards my mother.

Let me take care of you from now on

These conditions are even worse than the place where my mother and I first lived when we came to the city

Vanjia said with a smile: "I should be the one thanking you. Does your shoulder still hurt?"

Over the years, I have given you quite a bit of money, and my father was also generous to you back then. Xu Jingchuan, can you not be so ungrateful?

Are you doing well

It seems that I have asked a question that I should not have asked

You are indeed still here

Xia Han joked with a smile: "You are indeed a good child. However, the bar I mentioned is one you will definitely want to visit"

You liked the dancer from hetushu.com just now, didn't you? Although it appears to be a question, she is actually using an affirmative tone.

I looked at the bottle of wine that had been opened but not consumed, then glanced at the white mask under the light. The figure of Meng Xilou flashed through my mind, and with a determined heart, I grabbed the bottle and poured it into my mouth

At that time, how young and innocent the two of them were. My mother grew up in Suhe Town, and when she met Gu Yuetian, it was also during the season of blooming peach blossoms. At that time, Gu Yuetian was wandering everywhere, and he accidentally arrived in Suhe Town. The two fell in love at first sight, exchanged countless sweet words, and made many promises of eternal love. However, Gu Yuetian was unwilling to settle in Suhe Town and wanted my mother to follow him to continue their adventures.

She married Gu Yuetian not only to atone for her sins, but largely because he could provide a stable life for the two of us, allowing us to avoid much suffering

Xia Han sighed with her eyes closed, her expression weary

I raised my head and saw Xu Jingchuan

"Listen carefully, Fang! From now on, keep your distance from A Yin, otherwise I will hit you every time I see you!"

I took a shower in Xia Han's dormitory, changed into a new set of clothes, and asked her to call my mother to inform her that I had not returned home all night and was at her place

A little girl beside me was holding a woman's hand and curiously asked, "Mom, why isn't that person going home?"

I was already quite surprised by Xu Jingchuan's appearance, and now he wants to escort Xia Han back to her dormitory. I am so astonished that my jaw is about to drop. Is this really the same Xu Jingchuan who only knows how to ask for money?

All the waiting pretends to be coincidental, just to allow that person to glance at me one more time. However, every time, Meng Xilou walks straight ahead with his head down, never once looking at me.

I gazed foolishly at all the joys and sorrows of Meng Xilou, which were entirely for another person

Fan Jia wiped the sweat from my forehead in a flustered manner and asked, "Are you in a lot of pain? Let me take you to the hospital."

It's okay. No, I'm actually not well at all; I feel uncomfortable all over, and my head is starting to throb.

Ayin Special Vehicle

Speaking of food, I am really a bit hungry

That kind of Mengxi Building is something I have never seen before

Gu Mi Yin playfully stuck her tongue out at me and then ran back to the bedroom

Xu Jingchuan carried Xia Han on his back, and I followed behind. After taking just a few steps, a wave of nausea surged in my stomach, and I vomited with a "wow" sound.

Could you please wait for me for a moment, just a little while

The words spoken by Vanga have left my mind in a state of daze throughout the day, to the extent that I even answered the teacher's questions incorrectly in class

After school in the afternoon, as I was on my way home, I passed by a narrow alley and keenly heard the shouting and cursing from Meng Xilou.

Xia Han stood rigidly in place, frowning as she looked at him, suppressing her anger as she said: "I told you, last time was the last time I would give you money"

I feel a lump in my chest, unable to expel it or swallow it down. Gu Mi Yin's ability to distort the truth has indeed improved; I should not have expected her to speak honestly.

The girl who grabbed the mask is happily showing off to others

Many people cannot see through Fan Jia's attitude towards Gu Mi Yin. If it is said that Fan Jia likes her, he does not show any signs of it. If it is said that he does not like her, he has not driven Gu Mi Yin away. Therefore, classmates are betting on whether Fan Jia will choose me or Gu Mi Yin.

I patted him on the shoulder, got up from the ground, and said: "It’s just my shoulder that hurts, not my foot."

In the evening, when Xia Han sneaked me in through the back door of the bar, I finally understood why she said that. Because upon entering, I saw Meng Xilou dancing on the small stage

Xia Han stood frozen in place, watching Xu Jingchuan leave. I saw the moment Xu Jingchuan turned around, his smile gradually fading away

He saw the look of surprise on my face and said, "If you don't trust me, you can accompany me to take her back to the dormitory first"

Every word reminds me of Mengxi Tower

Meng Xilou's motorcycle was parked near the door of the garage, entirely black, resembling a black beast. I saw him squatting in front of the motorcycle for a long time, and finally took out a small knife to carve something into the handle of the bike. After finishing, his gaze did not waver, and he continued to grin foolishly.

A man leaned towards Xia Han, wanting to reach out and touch her. I quickly pulled Xia Han over, glaring at them, my heart racing with anxiety, yet I forced myself to maintain a fearless demeanor and said: "You better get lost!"

Gu Liangyin remarked sarcastically from the side, "At such a young age, associating with dubious characters, how will that turn out in the future"

He embraced Xia Han and went to settle the bill, while I followed behind, walking out of the bar one after the other

However, when she truly arrived at the Gu family, she realized that many things had changed

Such a Xu Jingchuan is truly elusive and difficult to comprehend

Although Mingming is not much older than me, she nevertheless said this in a tone that was rather old-fashioned and pretentious

Xu Jingchuan arrived at the door of a household, took out a key from under the flowerbed in front of the door, and unlocked it. He pushed the door open and walked in, with me following behind.

In a world with so many people, why is it that so much color is bestowed upon that particular individual, while those colors make another person's world vibrant and colorful, yet one's own world remains shrouded in darkness

If you have nowhere to go, come to my house

I still firmly insist on going to buy books

Xu Jingchuan was not angry; he softly said "thank you" and then squatted down to pick up the scattered money, his demeanor earnest. As he picked up the money, he suddenly reached out and brushed aside the hair from Xia Han's forehead, saying, "Your hair is messy..." After saying this, he turned and left

He did not finish his words, but I know what he wanted to say

Everything is merely self-deception

Little sister, why are you drinking alone? How about letting your brother keep you company while you drink?

His movements are graceful and handsome, swaying with the rhythm, each step perfectly timed, while a group of girls below is screaming. His gaze is sometimes dreamy, sometimes clear, sometimes wild, and sometimes calm. He is completely immersed on stage, lost in another world

At this moment, I long for Meng Xilou to appear, but that is merely a delusion

The music stopped, and Meng Xilou handsomely removed his mask, throwing it into the crowd. Countless girls rushed forward to snatch it, and my impulse to join them came to an abrupt halt. This was because Meng Xilou had seen me, his gaze extremely indifferent. His smile froze on his face, and then he took his bow and left

I answered honestly: "If Meng Xilou were to strike you on the head with that stick, he would go to jail"

In the following encounters with Meng Xilou, he consistently avoided me. Clearly seeing him walking towards me from the opposite side, he would turn a corner, pretending not to see me at all, his expression cold and indifferent.

Seeing the woman's attitude so firm, I could only plead: "Sister, this mask is really important to me, would you sell it to me?"

Our home is very small, there is no extra space to sleep, you will sleep in my bed. He held the candle and led me to his bedroom

During the lunch break, Gu Mi Yin suddenly appeared outside the classroom, gesturing for me to come out

I did not see it; after I spoke the answer, the light in Vanga's eyes gradually dimmed

Not only the radishes that have been soaked in brine for years are sour, but also this barren life

I never expected that Vanga was squatting in front of me, gently saying: "I will carry you."

I did not undress, nor did I wash up, and simply lay on that small bed. That bed felt cramped even for me, let alone for the tall Xu Jingchuan.

I poured all the wine into my stomach, placed the empty bottle heavily on the table, wiped the wine from the corner of my mouth, and looked at the girl saying, "May I have the mask, please?" After saying this, I let out a burp, the smell of alcohol escaping from my mouth.

Vanjia wore a gentle smile, his gaze as soft as water. Anyone who looked into his eyes would surely be enveloped by warmth

What does this have to do with me

Xu Jingchuan's silhouette is very slender, and he harbors many secrets. For instance, he could have used the excuse of saving Xia Han to ask her for money, but he asked me not to reveal it. Clearly, he feels so helpless, yet he sent Xia Han back and then returned to check if I was still there.

Meng Xilou was taken aback, and Fan Jia supported me, his face showing an unmistakable astonishment: "Ah Xi ... you ..."

Xia Han's temper flared at the most inopportune moment; cursing at this time was utterly futile and would only backfire. I anxiously glanced around the bar, hoping to find someone to help. However, the bar was noisy, with everyone engrossed in their own activities, and very few noticed this corner.

Vanjamen let out a sound and replied, "What if I say 'no'?"

I do not know," he repeated expressionlessly

He pointed to the worn-out sofa outside, then took a piece of clothing and went out, leaving the candle and lighter by the bedside. Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "If you need to get up at night, remember to call me"

In light of the last lesson, I no longer dare to tell her the truth. In case she misunderstands again, I wouldn't know how to explain, so I can only lie and say: "I went to buy books with my classmates and called Gu Mi Yin, but she didn't come back for dinner."

Meng Xilou's lips curled into a mocking smile as he turned to leave, not bothering to look back, and said: "Su Xi, can you not meddle in other people's affairs?" After saying this, he shot a fierce glare at Fan Jia before departing.

Although I do not understand the characters, they appear vigorous and powerful, suggesting that the person who wrote them possesses a high level of skill. When Vankia saw me staring at the characters, he explained, "That was written by my grandfather"

Mother always believed he would return, so she waited for him with longing. It was only after her youth had faded that she finally compromised with reality and married another man

My shoulder still hurts, after a whole day of tossing and turning, I really want to go to sleep, but thinking of my mother's words, I obediently copied the English vocabulary.

This diary has been placed at the very bottom of the wardrobe, forever isolated from the world

Then I will first take Xia Han back to the dormitory. Do not tell her that I came today, and take care of your own safety

I squatted by the roadside, feeling as if the bile in my stomach had been expelled, my mouth was extremely bitter. My stomach and throat were still burning, making me feel unbearably uncomfortable, and my head was dizzy; I felt as if the entire road was distorted

Xia Han, feeling hungry, saw breakfast and joyfully pounced on me. She then furrowed her brows and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

It turns out that I have no home...

I understand that she lives without dignity, solely for me, having become an accessory to Gu Yuetian

Having completed one thousand English words, it is already late at night. My originally painful shoulder has become even more sore, and I can hardly lift my entire arm. Today, I deceived my mother, and I feel guilty about it.

I held the mask tightly in my arms, looking at the girl, and said word by word: "Since everyone is destined to die in their lifetime, why not die in a more meaningful way? If one loves another but is only willing to preserve oneself, that is not true love"

Xia Han poked my back and said with a smile, "Does this count as a surprise?"

She spoke too late, for I am already prepared to love Meng Xilou for a lifetime, regardless of whether that love is reciprocated, I will not waver in my resolve

While I was lost in thought, Xu Jingchuan suddenly appeared. He forcefully squeezed in, pulled Xia Han over, and held her in his arms, then scolded me without hesitation: "How could you bring my girlfriend to such a place? What would you do if you encountered bad people?"

This time I did not conceal anything and nodded honestly

I couldn't quite grasp what she wanted to say, so I followed her out of the classroom. The two of us arrived at a relatively quiet place, one after the other.

I called Xia Han to confirm that she was at school, and then I took the bus to find her

Every time at this moment, a wave of bitterness always rises in my heart

She also sprinkled ink on every name in my diary. Those names hidden beneath the ink are just like Meng Xilou, concealed in my heart, unable to be spoken of

Xu Jingchuan resolved the situation with just two sentences, one stating that Xia Han had a partner, and the other indicating that he had a background. Upon hearing Xu Jingchuan's words, the two individuals naturally would not seek to embarrass themselves.

I will go find them now

Do not think that just because you saved Vangia's life, you can act recklessly. I tell you, no way! I have already cut off ties with Meng Xilou. If you go to comfort him at this time, he might even fall in love with you again. Su Xi, you should thank me for giving you this opportunity

Recently, Fan Jia and Gu Mi Yin have been getting quite close. After class, Gu Mi Yin often stands outside Fan Jia's classroom, calling his name with a cheerful smile, loud enough for the neighboring class to hear

It is hard to imagine what kind of life he is living

I followed the sound and saw Meng Xilou hitting someone, and the person lying on the ground was none other than Fan Jia.

I am utterly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Vanga is covered in dirt, with bloodstains on his face, and he must be in pain in many places on his body, yet I never expected that he would carry me on his back

Meng Xilou's classroom is on the upper floor. Every day after school, I stand silently at the stairway waiting for him, then follow him to the school garage, and watch him ride his motorcycle home.

The next morning, I was awakened by a strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine. It was just dawn, and there was already some movement in the house. I rubbed my aching head, put on my shoes, tidied my hair, and walked out.

"Forget it, let's not talk about those things." Xia Han perked up, instantly regaining her smile, and said, "Sister will take you out to have some fun tonight"

I hesitated for a moment, struggled to get up, and slowly followed behind him

I replied lightly with my arms crossed: "You can tell him not to come looking for me"

Mother recounted the stories of her youth with Gu Yuetian

Vajra was stunned for a long time before slowly saying: "You are truly kind"

I continued to nod

For a long time to come, I will remember a young man who once displayed such a foolish smile for another person, as if he were immersed in another world. That was a world he had built for himself, perhaps where he found happiness.

Although Xia Han was somewhat intoxicated, she was still aware. She let out a few cold laughs and scolded, "When I was out here making a name for myself, you weren't even born yet!"

Meng Xilou was completely enraged by this statement. He raised the stick in his hand and impulsively struck towards Fan Jia's head. I was taken aback and hurriedly rushed over to stand in front of Fan Jia. The blow landed on my shoulder, and the pain was so intense that I nearly fainted.

Xu Jingchuan stared at the mask in my hand for a while, furrowing his brows as he asked, "Is this the reason you made me wait?"

I looked around, surveying Xu Jingchuan's home

Xu Jingchuan was probably tired as well; he lay on the sofa, covered with clothes, and fell asleep in his attire. I stood at the bedroom door for a long time before closing it, leaning against the door frame. The latch was already broken.

After finishing the inscription on the Mengxi Tower, he suddenly glanced over this way. At that moment, our eyes met, and a fleeting look of panic appeared in his gaze.

My indifferent expression seemed to infuriate Gu Mi Yin, who stood there sneeringly and mocked, "Su Xi, you must not take yourself too seriously; you are merely a pet of the Gu family. If you do not behave, even the Gu family's toilet will not have room for you!"

So your grandfather was a great calligrapher, I exclaimed

The weather is turning cooler, and the evening breeze carries a chill

Your parents are outside, why aren't you hurrying back with them! If you come to places like this again, be careful that your dad will take you to jail!

I sat by the roadside, counting the vehicles coming and going, waiting and waiting, not knowing what I was waiting for

The house is not large, and the arrangement of furniture makes it appear even more crowded. This area contains the oldest houses in the city, with most of the plaster on the walls having fallen off. The furniture in the home is also quite old; the sofa is so worn that its original appearance is unrecognizable, and the television on the table is one of the oldest models, complete with two antennas.

Xia Han said I am foolish, and I replied that I am not foolish enough

When he smiles, there are shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth, leading one to suspect the existence of a world that is illusory

After watching Jingchuan for so many years, I am truly exhausted... Her voice revealed an endless weariness

I really enjoy the atmosphere of dining at Vanka's home. His grandparents are very easygoing, and the dinner table is quite pleasant. His grandfather asks Vanka about his studies, and he obediently answers without a trace of impatience on his face

Grandmother let out a sound of "oh," which was laden with meaning, and no matter how I tried to explain, I could not clarify it.

He turned his head and sped away on his motorcycle

I hurriedly wiped my tears, nodded slightly, but then quickly shook my head. Deep down, I have always found it hard to trust him.

When I arrived, Xia Han had already gotten up; she had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair. On the way, I also brought breakfast for everyone in their dormitory.

His grandparents' home is not far from the alley, approximately a ten-minute walk. When I knocked on the door, I broke free from the hand that Vanga was supporting me with. As soon as his grandmother opened the door and saw Vanga covered in dirt, she exclaimed, "Jia'er, what happened to you? Oh, who is this girl?"

Hmm?

Have you been drinking wine

I shot her a blank stare and retorted, "Compared to you, I am merely a minor sorcerer facing a major one."

Why do I not have a home

I apologize for troubling you, grandmother

Why ... ...

Vanjia unreservedly lifted my collar and said, "Your shoulder is injured. I will take you to my grandfather's house; he has medicinal wine there"

Xia Han has always had a strong ability to heal herself; she does not need anyone's pity or sympathy and lives with pride. She put her arm around my shoulder and leaned in to ask, "Su Xi, have you turned eighteen yet?"

The thought of Meng Xilou being heartbroken makes my heart ache as well

The bedroom is very small, with a tiny bed that nearly fills the entire room. A wooden board is nailed to the bed, on which many miscellaneous items are placed. In the corner, there is a large box, which probably contains Xu Jingchuan's clothes. To prevent the lime from falling, many old newspapers are pasted on the walls

After thanking my grandmother, she insisted on keeping me for dinner, and I could not refuse no matter how hard I tried, so I could only look at Vanga for help

Later, I recalled the advice of that unfamiliar girl and realized that she was indeed correct. It was just that at that time, I believed that love meant a lifetime, and to love someone meant to exhaust one's entire life.

I nodded

Have you been to a bar

Good

I wonder if Meng Xilou will misunderstand something today because I took a hit for Vanga. In fact, his thoughts do not matter at all; it is merely my own overthinking.

There is congee in the pot; if you want to eat, you must serve it yourself. Xu Jingchuan said this while stirring the traditional Chinese medicine in the jar

The woman's words seemed to press a button within me, and the tears that had been held back began to flow uncontrollably.

I shook my head, tears streaming down my face from the pain. Meng Xilou's strikes were truly heavy; if that stick were to hit Fan Jia on the head, it would be the end for Fan Jia, and Meng Xilou would also face his demise.

Just as Gu Mi Yin chases after Fan Jia, just as Meng Xi Lou watches over Gu Mi Yin, just as I gaze at Meng Xi Lou, who can truly clarify all of this?

I nodded

I turned my head and asked, "Then where do you sleep?"

Xu Jingchuan pressed the switch on the wall, but the light did not turn on. After pressing it several times in vain, he finally gave up and said, "Wait a moment," before walking into the room and feeling around for something. He found a candle and lit it, and finally, there was light in the room

Mother looked at Gu Mi Yin, her eyes filled with inquiry

After having dinner, Vanka accompanied me home

It is not that it does not hurt, but rather that it hurts to the point of numbness. I am not that pretentious, so I simply pretend that it does not hurt

My grandmother is also at home. " He threw down this sentence and turned to leave

Gu Mi Yin and Meng Xi Lou have severed their ties, and the one who is likely the most heartbroken is Meng Xi Lou. After all, he has been by her side for so long—when the person in his heart says she likes someone else, he tells her to go ahead and like that person, and when she says she wants to cut off all contact, he adopts an attitude as if they will never have anything to do with each other again

I do not know what kind of existence Xu Jingchuan holds in Xia Han's heart, but I do know that she repeatedly indulges Xu Jingchuan, and despite being entangled for so many years, she has not truly managed to disregard him

After finishing the meal, I expressed my gratitude to Xu Jingchuan and prepared to return home

Please don't be like that. We are all here to have fun, and we should enjoy ourselves to the fullest before going home

Xia Han, holding her phone, raised an eyebrow and asked me what happened last night

A few people nearby were laughing and watching the play

Mother, suppressing her anger, said coldly: "You will copy the English words one thousand times tonight. If you do not finish, you are not allowed to sleep." After saying this, she turned and went back to her bedroom

Grandma, this is my classmate

Gu Mi Yin suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and warned sharply: "Su Xi, you better stay away from Fan Jia!"

When she handed me the money, her eyes red, she said: "Xixi, I regret it..."

The two men simultaneously changed their expressions. Xia Han has always been merciless in her insults, and the vulgar words she uses could fill a book.

When I arrived at Xia Han's dormitory, she was standing downstairs, and the person in front of her was none other than Xu Jingchuan. Xu Jingchuan shamelessly extended his hand to Xia Han, his face showing no signs of awkwardness.

I slowly walked towards her and greeted her

After they left, I sat by the roadside, gazing at the orange-yellow streetlights, tightly clutching the mask in my arms. For a moment, I found myself at a loss as to where to go. If I were to go home like this, I would surely be scolded to death by my mother

Yes, that's right, just a silly smile. It is hard to imagine someone who is accustomed to solving problems with their fists smiling foolishly at a few characters. Later, I found out what the characters he carved were.

"Only girls with such impulsive minds like you would act this way; being young is truly wonderful." She coldly laughed, pointing at a bottle of wine, and raised an eyebrow as she said, "If you drink this bottle of wine, the mask will be yours, and you won't have to pay a dime."

It turns out that Xu Jingchuan is preparing traditional Chinese medicine.

The two individuals faced off for approximately half an hour, and Xia Han, in a fit of anger, took a stack of money and unceremoniously threw it at Xu Jingchuan's face

She looked at me, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Did you see everything?"

Gu Mi Yin raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Do you think Meng Xi Lou is an ambiguous person?"

She has been ill for many years and has been taking traditional Chinese medicine

Meng Xilou stared at me intently, as if unable to believe that I had rushed forward

Xia Han is right, I have only this little achievement, and I will keep everything related to Meng Xilou in my heart

I glanced at the store name on the packaging, and a warmth filled my heart, evoking a sense of emotion. This is because the breakfast sold at this store is quite famous; if one does not arrive early to queue, it is nearly impossible to purchase.

Meng Xilou, if you continue to make such mistakes, it will inevitably lead to trouble.

My head still hurts, and just before sleeping, I placed the mask beside my pillow, finally bringing a faint smile to my face

This type of gambling is truly boring

Some say that loving someone is a source of happiness, but loving someone who does not love you in return is like a journey of a dandelion, drifting in the wind, not knowing where it will land

I was taken aback by the scolding, but soon realized he was trying to help, so I cooperated with him and lowered my head to apologize: "I am sorry ... ... "

Oh? There is also a little sister here. How do you drink juice? Come, let's drink together.

If it weren't for me back then, you might not be alive now

Meng Xilou was dressed in a black casual suit, wearing a white mask, and dancing the robot dance under a strong spotlight. Although he was wearing a mask, I recognized him at a glance; those brown eyes were deeply embedded in my memory

As soon as Xia Han entered the bar, two lecherous men looked at her with lascivious eyes. Xia Han was already beautiful and had a great figure. Seeing that she was drunk, the two men approached her to flirt.

I received breakfast and said "thank you" apologetically

I nodded

I took a bowl to serve some congee, and then sat beside the table to drink it. Xu Jingchuan added a few pieces of pickled radish to the bowl and brought it over.

I am unable to participate beyond their story

The radish is indeed so sour that it could make one lose a tooth

Su Xi

The girl, seeing how hard I was working, shoved a mask into my hands and said: "Little girl, you are putting in so much effort for a mask; for that person, you might even be willing to sacrifice your life. Loving someone like this will not end well for you."

I nodded and watched Xu Jingchuan and Xia Han leave

When I returned home, it was already 10 PM. My mother was sitting in the living room watching a TV drama, and Gu Mi Yin was just coming out with a cup of water to drink. As soon as she saw me, a hint of a mocking smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of her mouth

At that moment, Vanka's grandfather walked out of the room and said with a smile, "The little girl really knows how to speak."

The figures of the two men were tall, almost surrounding both Xia Han and me.

Mother shot me a sharp glance and asked sternly, "What on earth have you been doing?"

After throwing up, I felt my legs go weak. I slumped by the roadside, waved at Xu Jingchuan, and said, "You take Xia Han back first, I will take a taxi back later. I really can't walk right now."

I shook my head and replied, "It doesn't hurt"

Vanjia hurried to support me, and the two of us helped each other out of the alley

"Come in quickly." Grandmother smiled so widely that she could hardly close her mouth

I gave the money to Xia Han and explained to her why it was so late. Xia Han did not mind at all, with a cold smile on her lips, she said: "I really don't understand why your mother would take a liking to that kind of person"

Seeing me frown, Xu Jingchuan said expressionlessly: "This is the situation in our family"

I nodded, then shook the mask in my hand and said, "For this."

In the deep of night, it was very quiet, occasionally interrupted by the sound of an elderly person coughing in the house, presumably that was Xu Jingchuan's grandmother. After a while of wandering thoughts, I finally fell into a deep sleep

She walked towards me and leaned on my shoulder. Xia Han is taller than I am, and I struggled a bit to support her, gently patting her shoulder.

And what about your parents

I merely stated that she was drunk, and then I took her back, spending the night at a friend's house. Perhaps Xia Han has not yet sobered up; despite the obvious inconsistencies, she did not inquire further

To love someone is to sincerely offer your heart with both hands, only to let the other person trample it into the dust, and yet you still smile and say, "I am sorry for the disturbance"

Hmm? I raised my head

His home is located in a small alleyway

Grandmother was kneading my shoulders, and I was trembling all over in pain, with fine beads of sweat appearing on my forehead. Unable to hold back, Grandmother comforted me, saying: "My dear, bear with it. Once the bruised blood is kneaded out, your shoulders will stop hurting. How could you be so careless?"

Sometimes, when I go to the restroom after class, I often see the two of them chatting and laughing in the corridor. Meanwhile, Meng Xilou stands not far away, watching the interaction between the two with a cold expression. As I walk past him, his gaze does not shift away.

When it comes to Meng Xilou, I dare not say much. He is my Achilles' heel, as well as the weapon others use to hurt me. I have never understood why Gu Miyin knew this secret but chose not to reveal it

Meng Xilou is but a cup of poison, and I can only smile as I drink it all down

The vehicle has arrived and departed, passersby slowly approach and then slowly leave, while I remain in place

Young girl, you do not yet understand

I haven't returned home for a whole night, and I can only imagine how anxious my mother must be. The smell of alcohol still lingers on me. With these thoughts in mind, I went to Xia Han's dormitory

Only a few months left

The girl, along with the people around her, stopped talking and looked at me in unison. She put down her glass and retorted, "Why should I sell it to you?"

The moment I entered, I smelled a strong scent of traditional Chinese medicine

I blushed slightly and smiled as I called out, "Hello, Grandpa." Vanga asked his grandmother to find the medicinal wine, and then he asked her to help me apply it while he went to take a shower

I see that you are a high school student

Gu Mi Yin, holding a cup of water, sneered and said, "Su Xi, I did not receive your call today. Moreover, I clearly saw you leaving with some dubious individuals after school."

I hurriedly shook my head and explained, "I don't mind at all; it's just that this radish is really too sour"

Axi, this is the breakfast I bought for you

I know what she is regretting

After Vanka finished bathing, he came out feeling refreshed, and I am almost done here as well

Yes, I am indeed a madman

Let us go

I honestly shook my head. In my understanding, good children do not go to bars

It is not only the radish that is sour...'' he sighed and said淡淡地说道

I nodded excitedly

My shoulders are very painful, and my forehead is covered with large beads of sweat

The entire alley was very dimly lit, with only the faint light coming from the windows of two households. I followed him inside, and a wild cat quickly jumped over the wall; I could still hear the rustling sounds, each noise tightening my nerves.

However, Mother enjoys the stable and quiet life in Suhe Town. The two of them went from being in love to arguing, and in the end, Gu Yuetian left in anger.

One sentence made my face turn completely red, and I hurriedly explained: "No, we are just classmates"
