Chapter 72 Chapter71 No one can hold hands

Ah Heng sat in a hotel room worth 30 yuan a night, only to feel hungry. Looking around, a big coat, a suitcase, and more than a hundred dollars saved these days, that's all. The room was simple, er, or shabby, with nothing else but a bed, a lamp, and a worn-out TV with peeling paint.Of course, a basement hotel for thirty yuan a night, what more could you ask for? After putting down the luggage, my stomach started to growl.Ah Heng sighed, sure enough, people are as good as iron and rice is steel, and the only benefits are those who have food.Think about feelings, waste your brain. She put on her coat, closed the door, and locked it.

In the narrow and dark corridor, several drunk men were talking with extremely fast southern accents, their words were filthy, and thick and choking smoke was floating in the air. Ah Heng turned up his collar, buried his head in his coat to avoid these people, and walked quickly past them with his head down. When passing by them, one of the tall middle-aged men looked at Ah Heng, his eyes were very wrong, and he spoke in broken Mandarin: "Little girl, how much is it for one night?" Ah Heng turned his face and walked silently, without speaking. When I arrived at the front desk, the service lady who was registering before was applying lipstick in front of the mirror. Seeing her, her eyes with heavy eye shadow left the mirror and smiled: "Student girl, Morley, if you are short of money, sister I can introduce you to some good ones."

A Heng ignored the man's face, greeted him vaguely, pushed open the glass door and walked out. Outside, it was still snowing. Ah Heng shivered, put his hands in his pockets, put on his hoodie, faced the snow, and walked towards the small supermarket not far away. After buying two packs of instant noodles in a bowl, she thought of something when she walked to the cashier, so she went back and took a bottle of beer and put it in her arms, feeling a little relieved.She glanced at it, and there was a piece of cream cake that was about to expire. She felt a little sour, hesitated for a long time, and picked it up.

When leaving the dormitory, although he would scold himself for not doing things safely, but on such a snowy night, it seemed that he had no one else to rely on except himself. She couldn't face Du Qing, or even Gu Feibai. In the end, he still ended up being pitifully sympathetic. Gu Feibai's inability to leave her was not the result of cutting up the emotional pain she thought, and the hesitant choice between the two, but the result of overflowing sympathy. She can make money to pay tuition fees, support herself, buy nice clothes and stand beside him to match him, but she can't stop the fact that a woman who has lost power is no longer worthy of his social status.

It's just reality. She once gritted her teeth and told herself cruelly, never take the initiative to let go of the hard-won happiness. However, the happiness in the kaleidoscope is not happiness, it is pieces of broken glass pieced together. When they returned to the hotel, the group of men had disappeared, leaving cigarette butts all over the place.Presumably, people who came to City H from other places to find work lived here temporarily. Ah Heng breathed a sigh of relief, took off his hat, and took out the key to open the door, but suddenly someone covered his mouth from behind. Ah Heng broke into a cold sweat instantly, and a middle-aged man's panting voice came from his ears: "Fifty a night, do you want to do it?"

Ah Heng shook his head vigorously. The man spit out a mouthful of phlegm and cursed: "Damn it, little bitch, don't toast or eat fine wine. I've been observing you for a long time, isn't it just a poor student who came out to work, and ran out in the middle of the night. If you want to make money, don't drink it!" Set up the archway!" Ah Heng struggled to call out to someone, but he couldn't make any sound. He tried to break the man's hand, but the man's hand was getting tighter and tighter. Seeing her resist, the man pulled Ah Heng's hair and pushed the door open, dragging her roughly into the room.

A Heng was dragged by him and stumbled, in the dark, sweating all over his face.He fumbled for the beer in the plastic bag, grabbed it, and slammed it hard against the door. The sound of the bottle breaking alarmed the entire hotel. The man knew that Ah Heng was going to bring someone over, so he became annoyed, slapped her hard several times, threw her to the floor, and then ran away in a panic. Ah Heng stood up while supporting the wooden table at the door, turned on the light, his nose felt hot, and a sticky red liquid dripped down. Not far away, there was the sound of pattering footsteps and a stream of swearing: "It's late at night, what are you arguing about, you're going to die!"

It was the service lady at the front desk. Seeing the broken beer bottles and Ah Heng's messy clothes and red and swollen face, she raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Why, student girl, the price hasn't been negotiated yet?" Ah Heng looked at her expressionlessly, with nosebleeds slowly flowing from his fingers. The waitress didn't care, she lowered her head to clean the beer bottle, and said in a frivolous tone, "You college students are more arrogant than anyone else. You look down on us people, but you can do all kinds of dirty things behind your back. You think prostitutes are dirty, tell you, prostitutes I don't think you're clean yet."

Ah Heng didn't say a word, walked to the public restroom opposite, and washed his nose. The waitress poked her head, looked at Ah Heng, and smiled: "He has a temper, why don't you smash the bottle on his head?" Ah Heng said, "I don't have an ID card, only a temporary residence permit." The man was taken aback. Ah Heng continued: "So, I can't enter the Public Security Bureau." The blood on his hand was washed away, Ah Heng looked at the clear water, his eyes were a little sore, but there were no tears when he rubbed it: "Besides, I have no money, so I can't afford to pay for his medical expenses."

The man looked at her with some curiosity in his eyes, and asked her: "Student girl, how old are you?" Ah Heng looked at his watch, remembered the things in his arms, took out his wet hands from his coat, and the cream cake was still warm.She held it in her hands and looked at it blankly for a long time, she seemed to feel warm, she turned to look at the man, and said seriously: "In half an hour, I will be twenty years old." She carefully opened the plastic bag, tore off half of it, and handed it to the woman opposite with a smile, "here. My birthday cake, do you want to eat it?"

The man was embarrassed, took the cake, his face turned red, he seemed not used to being treated like this.She turned and left, and said in a low voice: "Happy birthday. This is not a suitable place for you to live. The problem has been solved. Move out earlier." Ah Heng made instant noodles in his room, and with the cake, he sat on a small stool near the TV and began to bite delicately. When I hit the ground, I got a lump on the back of my head, which hurt very much. When I rubbed it, the lump didn't fall apart, but tears came out. On the old TV, that person was a double shadow, the piano sound was vaguely covered by the noise of the TV, but it was damn gentle. Ah Heng took a sip of the soup and couldn't take his eyes off it.The camera kept sweeping across Chu Yun, and amidst the sound of the piano, his eyebrows and eyes were as gorgeous as flowers. Someone knocked on the door lightly, Ah Heng looked through the cat's eyes, it was the service lady. Opening the door, the man handed her a bag of ham sausage and an orange with green peel.She said: "Put ham in the noodles, it tastes much better." Ah Heng thanked repeatedly. The man pointed at DJ Yan on the TV, and smiled, "You kids like good-looking ones." Ah Heng laughed and beat the bed, she said: "Sister, I know him, do you believe it or not?" The man rolled his eyes: "I still know Leslie Cheung." Ah Heng buried his face in the blanket, his shoulders trembling silently. The man was stunned: "Is it so funny?" How funny, sister, how funny. The next day the snow stopped and the weather was much warmer. With one sentence, she broke up with Gu Feibai peacefully. She said: "Gu Feibai, if I said that I might have become a prostitute if I didn't meet you in Tianqiao, then, if you see me now, would you still dare to want me?" Gu Feibai didn't speak. Of course he didn't dare. Gu Feibai has a cleanliness habit. Even though he fell in love with Wen Heng at first sight, the feeling came so violently, inexplicably, that it drove him crazy, and he even asked Wen Heng's father to give him the Zihao Duan Inkstone that he had been using since he was a child, to show his love and affection for Wen Heng. However, if she is no longer the poetic and picturesque girl he saw back then, but loses all support and becomes the bottom of the society, then when he is depressed day after day under the eyes of others watching jokes, Pang Chacha has such a beautiful and dazzling childhood sweetheart with a similar background, how long can he persist? Ah Heng turned around, smiled and waved: "Gu Feibai, you have a house to live in, but you despise Wen Heng. Wen Heng...Wen Heng naturally dare not follow you." In winter, Yan Xi often walked on the street alone, took off his makeup and put on a scarf, so many people knew him less. Dayi, Mary, and Sun Peng invited him to the bar to play, and it was boring to go back and forth with just those few.However, having been a good brother for half his life, he had to give face, so he had no choice but to wander over to find them. The cold wind was blowing at night, and the big electronic screens on the street were still playing the commercials he shot. "Yueyueshu, the best choice for your girlfriend!" When he saw his face, he immediately lost his appetite and walked faster. When they arrived, Sun Peng was drinking red wine, and Dayi, Mary, and a few girls were blowing beer bottles. Seeing him, Sun Peng laughed: "Hey, who released the wolf with a big tail?" Sitting down on the sofa, Dayi cried and said, "Beauty, you are willing to come, I've already fed you up, and these girls in the city are really scary lately." One of the girls smiled: "Didn't you brag to me, you've been drinking since you can walk?" Yan Xi glanced at her, but she was an acquaintance: "Chu Yun, why are you here?" Dayi opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff his hands: "You are Chu Yun, the anchor Chu Yun? How can you be Chu Yun? Chu Yun doesn't look like you?" Mary rolled her eyes: "Baboon, don't you just see it?" Sun Peng raised his eyebrows and smiled inconceivably: "I thought you knew who she was, so you strongly demanded to share the table." Chu Yun burst out laughing: "I don't wear any makeup, buddy." Yan Xi took a sip of white wine, looked at the glass, and said lazily: "Xin Dayi, the truth is here." Chu Yun grabbed the oranges on the table and smashed Yanxi.Yan Xi reached out to catch it, then threw it back to the fruit plate, tilted her head slightly, and asked her, "You girl, why did you end up in such a place?" The sound of punching and singing next to it was extremely loud, a bunch of people on the stage were jumping up and down, and one was stripping.Yan Xi glanced at the girls, frowned, and recruited the waiter to open a box. The sisters of Chu Yun winked at her. In the dark, Chu Yun blushed a little, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said softly, "Why, it's so lively here." Sun Peng rubbed his ears and stood up: "I also endured it for a long time to cooperate with Dayi and Chen Juan, so let's go in. Damn, it's really noisy." Xin Dayi has always had a set of fallacies, where there is excitement, it proves the most fun, so, as long as there is no Lu Liu's cleanliness in the venue, he will never enter the box. At this moment, he pursed his lips, very displeased: "Yanxi hits a little stinky problem, and doesn't fit in with the group!" Yanxi kicked over, so he shut up obediently, followed everyone, and entered the box. The sound insulation effect of the box is good, and the noise outside is completely separated. Yan Xi drank liquor with her head down and didn't speak. Everyone was a little embarrassed. After a long time, Xiao Li, a friend of Chu Yun's, said, "Why don't we play games." Mary smiled slightly, and there was a sly gleam in the corner of her eyes: "Why don't we just take the truth or dare, just so many people can enjoy it." Sun Peng shook his red wine, smiled and said, "I've always heard about this, but I haven't played it before." Mainly, although they have been working hard to learn to be bad, they have all kinds of tricks, but helplessly, no one dares to lead them badly. Chu Yun's friend muttered, did it come from an alien?How old is this game. Dayi nodded with interest.Yan Xi yawned, his face was red from the liquor, and he lacked interest, but he didn't refuse. So the wine bottle shook. For the first time, I turned to Chu Yun's friend, asked the age of the first kiss, and chose the truth. For the second time, turn to Mary, choose a big adventure, turn left when you go out, face the stage, and shout: "Striper, your fucking breasts are too small and your legs are too thick!" For the third time, turn to Yanxi, choose the truth, and ask about your ideal type.Yan Shao understated: "Long legs, beautiful neck, petite stature, curved eyes, and curly hair." Chu Yun blushed, Dayi scratched his head, remembered Lin Wanwan, but felt that Chu Yun was quite suitable, and pondered for half a minute , Numb for half a second, a bit sadistic. For the fourth time, turn to Sun Peng, choose the big adventure, turn right when you go out, and smile slightly at the girl sitting on the bar: "I am the ugliest man in all of China." A friend is a slap in the face - you can go to hell. For the fifth time, turn to Chu Yun, choose the truth, and ask if you have a lover now?Chu Yun said: "Does it count if you often dream about it in your dreams?" He answered a wrong question and was fined a bottle of beer. The sixth time, I forwarded it to Da Yi, chose the truth, and asked who I miss most now.Dayi held back for a long time until his face turned green, he glanced at Yan Xi, didn't dare to say anything, and poured himself a bottle of beer. For the seventh time, turn to Yanxi, choose the truth, and ask what is the most regrettable thing?Yan Xi thought for a long time, and said, "Before I left alone, I didn't have time to say, thank you for walking with me so quietly for so long." Dayi was abused for another minute. For the eighth time, switch to Chu Yun, choose a big adventure, choose a heterosexual kiss for three minutes.Chu Yun was stunned, and looked at Yan Xi begging for help, Yan Xi smiled faintly: "Did you take the wrong medicine?" Chu Yun was annoyed, and gulped down two bottles of beer. For the ninth time, he turned to Yanxi again, chose the truth, and asked the woman he loved the most in his life.Yan Xi's eyes were drunk, and he said lightly: "No, only after death, a woman who wants to be buried in a cemetery can be the farthest away, but in a cemetery." Dayi felt sad for a minute and a half, Yan Xi answered irrelevant questions , filled two bottles. For the tenth time, turn to Chu Yun again, choose the truth, and ask what is the first thing you want to do if you have superpowers.Chu Yun looked at Yan Xi and said viciously: "Tie a dead man home to SM." Sun Peng smiled unkindly. For the eleventh time, turning to Yan Xi again, Dayi finally felt that something was wrong. Seeing that Chu Yun and his friends were winking, they were about to get angry when they looked down, but were stopped by Mary.Yan Xi drank too much wine, a little impatient, and chose the big adventure casually. Chu Yun's friend Xiao Li said: "DJ Yan, find a random woman in a bar, ask her name, and then confess on stage." They pushed the boat along the way, ready to make a good marriage. But Yanxi staggered out of the box, went to the dance floor, asked a girl casually, walked to the stage, picked up the microphone with her slender hand, and turned it to the highest volume: "Miss, I like you very much want to cry." He looked blankly at the silent and dark crowd below the stage, then hugged the scarf and said softly: "But, where are you, I will never find you again." Lu Liu said, "Chu Yun is not bad." Of course, he said this to Yan Xi. Yan Xi lowered her head, sat on the sofa at home, scrolled through professional books, and asked lightly, "What do you mean?" Lu Liu smiled, got up and walked to the kitchen, took out the coffee pot familiarly, put on gloves, adjusted the temperature, looked at the brown liquid that was simmering, leaned against the door and asked him: "Yanxi, do you want coffee?" Yan Xi nodded, slightly rolled up the cuffs of the white sweater, without looking up: "No sugar, thank you." Lu Liu leaned down to take the cups from the cabinet, but suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking at a shiny silver piece under the cabinet, which was used to cushion the cabinet and maintain balance. Take it out, dust it off, and it turns out to be a Tiffany ring. It was a little funny, he took it out and threw it on the glass coffee table: "Yanxi, you used the things I gave you to pad the cabinet!" Yan Xi squeezed her index finger and thumb, squinted her eyes, was stunned, and started laughing, her throat and chest heaved, looking extremely happy. He said, "Lu Liu, this is not mine. I lost my braised pork rice." Lu Liu picked it up, looked at the back, and found the letters "LL". Lu Liu. It was true that he had worn it for three years and never left it, and later gave that person a gift, and then, was taken by that person...to put it in the cabinet. Yan Xi couldn't breathe from laughing, her eyes were crooked, and the pen between her fingers drew irregular blue lines on the thick book. Lu Liu untied his tie, his brows were deeply drawn, and his expression could not be seen clearly.He said: "Yanxi, you are not young, you need to have a relationship and find a woman." Yan Xi smiled, ignoring him, put the ring on her index finger, hooked her finger and played with it, the bright light brightened her eyes innocently. Lu Liu said: "How about Chu Yun, don't you have a good impression of her?" Yan Xi nodded and raised her eyebrows: "Yes, but I haven't found a good opportunity to confess to her yet." Lu Liu smiled calmly: "Don't let a woman disturb your mind. I think she has already secretly promised you, so don't hesitate to turn her back." Yan Xi rolled his eyes: "Does it have anything to do with you? If you are in a hurry, find a woman." Lu Liu smiled, noncommittal, took out the coffee pot and poured two cups of black coffee, handed him a cup, and said lightly: "This, don't worry about it." Then he lowered his head, took a sip of coffee, but frowned slightly, "Really? It's unpalatable. Yanxi, your taste is getting weirder and weirder." Yan Xi leaned against the sofa cushions, with her long legs crossed on the tea table, put the coffee into her mouth, sipped it, and smiled: "Like a person drinking water, he knows whether he is warm or not." On the night of the end of the final exam, Yan Xi took Chu Yun to dinner. He said: "Chu Yun, I can spoil you so that all the women in the world envy you, would you like to have a relationship with me?" Chu Yun held his chopsticks and remained silent. Yan Xi said: "I can only have you as a woman for the rest of my life. Anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas, every day will not be forgotten. I wonder if you are satisfied?" Chu Yun raised her eyes, surprised, and said, "You want...to marry me?" Yan Xi smiled and looked at her: "You can be more reserved, I don't mind." Chu Yun pointed at him and opened his mouth wide: "You, you... Yanxi, are you out of your mind?" Yan Xi: "I don't, but let's fall in love." Chu Yun almost screamed, but bit his finger and asked, "Yanxi, can you love me?" Yanxi thought for a while and nodded: "I can. I can love you enough to give my life to you for safekeeping." She shook her head violently, but with tears in her eyes, she said: "You don't have to love me so much, just a little bit is enough. I don't deserve that, but I can make up for the rest of the love." Yan Xi lowered her head, listened carefully, and said "OK" softly. She choked up, buried her head in her knees and wept: "I thought the heroine has always had a difficult life, and it's hard to get the love of the hero until the end." Yan Xi laughed: "Probably, we are a light comedy." Beauty, handsome man, princess, prince, same ideal, same frequency.Then, the little heartbeat, ambiguity, and long-term love. Chu Yun shed tears. It was the first time he didn't drink at the food stall on the street, and gently hugged the boy."Honey, I really, really feel like I'm the icing on the cake in your life," she said. Yan Xi was stunned, then hugged back, with a little pity, and smiled: "Yes, you have always been." Chu Yun looked at him stupidly: "It's the first time you've been so gentle to me." So much tenderness, only the eyes of spring and March are left. Yan Xi smiled: "I've always been gentle, loving the young and respecting the old, but you didn't realize it." Suddenly remembered a call he received a few days ago after singing My Prayer.The person said: "Xiaoxi, stop doing things that make her sad, don't make her think of you again, I beg you, let her go." Such a sad and cold voice, as if in a dream. He smiled and coaxed the person on the other end of the phone: "Auntie, no more, I was wrong, never again. Make her happy? I will."
