Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Six

Yao Xiaoping picked up each necklace and looked at it for a while, and said, "Forget it, I will consider myself unlucky when I meet this kind of person. If I suffer from it, I will learn a lot of wisdom. I just don't ask him to help me buy things in the future." Shi Yan was still unconvinced: "You may have bought that string a long time ago, right? The five dollars back then may be different from the five dollars now, and they are worth much more. Besides, they may have been bought in different places—" Yao Xiaoping didn't say anything, just put away all the necklaces, threw them into the drawer, took out the wallet, took out twenty-five yuan, handed it to Shi Yan, and said, "Give him the money, thank you for me He--", but the expression was like "you killed him for me".

Shi Yan was very embarrassed, as if she had done something wrong, and suggested: "Well, since you don't like these necklaces, just give them to me, I will pay, and I will give the necklaces to others—" "Are you giving it away? Can you afford such an ugly necklace?" Yao Xiaoping asked with great interest, "What kind of necklace did he buy for you? Didn't he say he would bring you back a cheap necklace? Yes Isn't it the same as mine?" Shi Yan was in a dilemma. She didn't know whether she should show Yao Xiaoping the necklace bought by Excellence. If she showed it, she was afraid that she would be jealous, and she would feel that Excellence treated her badly; Tangmen didn't even buy a cheap necklace for his girlfriend.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Yao Xiaoping asked again: "Did he pick up the conch for you?" Shi Yan really regretted telling Yao all this, otherwise there would be nothing.She stammered, "I didn't find the conch, but he—" "I bought you a necklace? You can't say that you don't have any of them, can you? And he brought gifts to his mother and sister. Why didn't you have your share just now? Where did he put you? But seeing you like this, I know He bought you a present, take it out and have a look—” "It's not that I don't want to show it to you, I'm afraid that you will say something after seeing it—"

Yao Xiaoping said aggrievedly: "What did I say? Am I wrong? You have seen those necklaces yourself, don't you think they are not worth five yuan? Take them out and let me see, maybe I can To help you identify if he's fooling you too—" Shi Yan is still very confident in her own necklace, it is definitely not Yao Xiaoping's cheap ones.She hesitated, then took out her skewer. This time Yao Xiaoping had nothing to say, and she exclaimed, "It's really beautiful, it might cost a few hundred dollars——it's true that people don't know money and money—" Shi Yan was both surprised and happy, happy that the necklace finally passed Yao Xiaoping's product quality inspection, and surprised that Yao Xiaoping, a jewelry connoisseur, said the necklace was worth several hundred yuan.She asked in amazement: "Does it really cost a few hundred yuan? Impossible? He bought three skewers at once, so wouldn't that cost more than a thousand yuan? Where did he get so much money?"

Yao Xiaoping said something again: "That's right, he is just a lecturer, how much money can he make a month? I think he has a ghost-" "Perhaps he is paid? Doesn't he publish often?" "Academic articles still want to earn manuscript fees? It's not bad if you don't repost." Shi Yan didn't say anything more, because she didn't know where Excellence got so much money.After all, Yao Xiaoping is not a member of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and has no interest in outstanding economic issues. She is only interested in jewelry. She immediately asked Shi Yan to try it on. Shi Yan declined and said, "I haven't bathed yet, and I don't have matching clothes. Let's forget about it today."

Yao Xiaoping didn't force her anymore, and said, "If you don't want to try it, let me try it on." She took it and said while trying it on, "I wear it just right, as if it was bought for me—you can borrow it later. Put it on for me—” The next day, Shi Yan called Zhuoyue confidently and said that she would give Yao Xiaoping 25 yuan for the pearl necklace, but she didn't say that she had prepared 300 yuan for her own necklace.There was no receipt in her necklace case, but she felt that three hundred yuan would be enough.Just spending three hundred yuan to buy a string of necklaces is too extravagant. She can't save so much for a year just relying on her food allowance for normal students, because she has to eat, right?Fortunately, her parents often gave her some money, otherwise she had to return the necklace to Joyo.

He said: "This matter is not urgent, and I am not waiting for this little money to support my life. I will talk about it when I am free-" She was very disappointed, thinking that he would be very eager to meet her when he heard her call, but she didn't know that he was so indifferent.She said sullenly, "Okay then," and hung up the phone. In the next few days, Yao Xiaoping was busy going to the attached high school to attend classes during the day, and was busy dating Yan Jing at night, so she didn't have much time to spend with her.Zhuo Liang didn't come to look for her either. She made that phone call, as if she had been injured by high-voltage electricity once, and she didn't dare to call him again.

She was lonely and bored by herself, and she didn't want to study, so she looked for some novels to read, but it didn't help. I am afraid that my love will develop like that; I feel very melancholy when I see a happy love, why is other people's love so beautiful, but mine is not good?Am I unworthy of love, or are others lucky? She couldn't help wondering why Zhuoyou didn't come to her countless times a day. Could it be that he didn't love her?But he called her like an old couple and asked if she wanted him to bring him something, bought her such an expensive necklace, and the first thing he did when he returned to D City was to ask her to pick her up at the station, and he still kissed her so eagerly her.Say he loves her, but he always ignores her and doesn't accompany her, as if he doesn't care whether he sees her or not.

Now she even hopes that he will be like the boyfriends of those girls in the class, always thinking about doing that, then he will come to her, of course she will not let him succeed so stupidly, but he has something to ask for. When she is her, she can hold his nose and let him do what she wants him to do.And what she wanted him to do was to love her, be with her, and be with her.Is it difficult?Why can't he think of it and can't do it? In fact, she is not sure, she doesn't know if he really came to her for that kind of thing, would she have the ability to lead him by the nose, because he doesn't seem to be easily led by others, most of the time he is the one who leads her nose.Saying "nose" kind of puts her down like she's an animal, so let's just say he's in charge most of the time.If he wants to kiss, he will kiss, and even if he kisses forcefully, there is a way to keep you from being angry with him.If he wanted to do that, he probably would have done it if he wanted to, and if he forced it, there would be a way to keep you from being angry with him.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help imagining the scene of doing that thing with him. The specific process and details are not very clear, but she thinks it should be very exciting, because when he kissed her, she felt very excited and dizzy. Swelling, the body is very responsive.But he seems to be not as excited as she is, because he can stop at any time, say "first kiss?", and then say "you are so cute", which shows that he knows that she is very involved, but he himself is not very involved. She really couldn't stand this kind of life like being thrown into limbo, and hid in the woods several times to cry, but it was useless to cry, and she still felt very uncomfortable, so she called Huang Hai, but she didn't say anything about her and Excellence, We only talked about the postgraduate entrance examination.She found that she was no longer interested in the postgraduate entrance examination, and always used "at least two years of work before signing up" as an excuse to cover up her disinterest.

Huang Hai seems to have seen this, and always said: "Don't give up the postgraduate entrance examination, you are a talented person, you must let your talent be displayed. Now staying in the scientific research office is just a last resort, the ultimate goal Or graduate school—" Once Huang Hai saw that her morale was getting lower and lower for the postgraduate entrance examination, and even raised Zhuoyou to provoke her: "Anyway, at least Zhuangyou also went to graduate school, right? How can you—worse than him?" She denied it and said, "Whether he has been a graduate student or not, what does it matter to me?" Huang Hai asked in surprise: "Aren't you - with him - the one?" "Which one? Who did you hear from?" "It doesn't matter who you listen to, and it doesn't matter what relationship you have with him. The important thing is that you can't give up the postgraduate entrance exam—" "Who said I gave up? I'm starting to prepare now, and you can help me get some books to send." Huang Hai readily agreed, and asked her what major she wanted to take as a graduate student. She didn't think about it, she was not very interested in her major, and she was afraid that she would not be able to pass the exam if she changed her major. After hesitating for a long time, she decided to take her own major first. Besides, don't be too ambitious. She hoped that Yao Xiaoping's strategy of "Using Huang to control Zhuo" would start to work. She hoped that once she got closer to Huang Hai, she would not care too much about excellence, and once she didn't care about excellence, she would not care for him. Indifferent and angry and uncomfortable.But she found that every time she talked with Huang Hai on the phone, the image of Excellence appeared in front of her eyes, and every time the concierge came to ask her to answer the phone, she hoped in her heart that this time it was from Excellence. After finally getting through the summer vacation, she saw that there were still about ten days before the official working time, so she wanted to go back to "Dongdongguai" to visit her parents, because she usually went home for summer vacation at this time, but This time, she couldn't do it. She stayed in the school's scientific research office. She was not a teacher, and she didn't have a summer vacation. She couldn't go home for a few months, so she could only take this time to go back. She decided to go home temporarily, so she didn't have time to inform her parents to help her find a ride, so she had to take a train or a long-distance bus.She is very afraid of taking a long-distance bus, because there is no toilet in the car, and she wants to go to the toilet very much when she is in the car. The long-distance bus does not stop when you tell it to stop, so it is very uncomfortable to sit.Although it takes a little longer to take the train, there are toilets to go to. The dirt is a bit dirty, but it is better than holding it in the stomach. She didn't buy a ticket in advance, because she was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should go back, she was afraid that Zhuoyue would come to her in the next few days, if she went back, she would miss it.But if you stay at school and Zhuo Liang doesn't come to her, then it's really not a life for a human being.Some time ago, it could be said that he was busy. Now that the semester is over, what else can he be busy with?If he doesn't come to her, it means he doesn't love her. Until the day before leaving, Zhuo Liang didn't come to her, so she had to pack up some things, put them in a travel bag, and take a taxi to the train station to buy a ticket. Never mind. When she queued up to the window, the noon ticket was gone, and only the evening ticket was left, so she bought one.After leaving the car for four or five hours, she didn't want to take a taxi and ran back to the teacher's college, so she put her travel bag in the temporary storage at the train station and went to the city empty-handed. She wandered around the department stores in the city, but she couldn't get interested. She kept thinking about what Zhuo Liang said, that the people in D City have outdated consumption concepts and strong small farmers' consciousness, and there is nothing good to sell in D City.The more she looked at it, the more she felt that what he said was right. There was indeed nothing good to sell, and the things that she thought were okay before now looked old-fashioned and of extremely poor quality.The realization that she would be spending at least two years in this small-farmer-minded city, with Excellence so inaccessible, weighed heavily on her heart. She was too lazy to go shopping in the department store, so she simply ran to the park, found a place where no one was around, and cried until a person who came to the park to fight boxing became suspicious and ran over to ask her what was going on. Dry tears fled the park. Then she bought some snacks and was going to eat them on the train, because there was no dining car on the train, only Tilan hawkers, and the things they sold were too dirty to eat, and they were not allowed to sell them on the train. Station sneaked up. When she got back to the train station by taxi, it was almost time to board the train. When she was picking up her luggage, something went wrong again, which delayed the time. When she checked the ticket and ran to the car, the car was in motion. She hurriedly got into the car and went, finally making it on time.But the train is a slow train, and there are many short distances. No one sits according to the seat number, they all sit randomly, and whoever grabs the seat is the uncle.She came late, and all the seats were taken away by the elders, so she had to pick a relatively clean car box and stand in the aisle, trying to find a seat after the people nearby got off the car. There was no place to put her travel bag, and the luggage rack was full. She was also afraid that someone would take it away from the luggage rack, so she kept it at her feet.She stood there for a while and felt very tired. Her high-heeled feet stood there as if they were dancing a ballet, and they swelled immediately.I don't know where there are so many guerrillas in the car, they keep walking back and forth in the aisle of the car.If she doesn't get out of the way, those people will brush past her, as if deliberately rubbing oil on her body; like their oil. She was angry, hungry and tired, and wanted to cry, but before she had a chance to cry, a boiled egg seller stepped on her travel bag again.She couldn't help yelling: "Walk carefully when you walk, why are you stepping on my travel bag?" The egg seller didn't show any weakness: "Stand up and watch, why don't you stand at my feet—" She retorted, "Is this your land?" "Good dogs don't get in the way, bad dogs get in the way, I'll step on you if you get in the way—" the egg seller said and stepped on her travel bag twice. She was so angry that her throat was smoking, and she couldn't make a sentence with only "you, you". The people around were not afraid of the height of the stage when watching a play, and some urged, "Hit, beat him who sells eggs! Fifty cents an egg, do you think what is being sold is your balls?" Others said: "Girl, it's not good to stand in the aisle, blocking people's way. Come, sit with me, I'll let you sit with my legs, and I won't charge you—" She was really about to cry, and she grabbed her travel bag and wanted to run away, but those sitting people hadn't watched enough of the excitement, some told her "Don't run, don't run, whoever runs will lose", and some stretched He stepped out to block her, almost tripping her.When she was in a panic, she heard a familiar voice saying: "Egg seller, the train conductor is here to check the train—" The egg seller slipped away without a word, and the others laughed. She didn't dare to look at the person who spoke, for fear that he would see her embarrassment at the moment, and would like to jump out of the car and hide.She squeezed hard in the opposite direction, but she didn't dare to look back, she just hoped that he didn't follow.But she squeezed halfway into the carriage before he overtook her.He grabbed her travel bag with one hand and her arm with the other, and said, "Where are you going?" Without looking back, she asked, "You too—take this train? Where are you going?" "Don't go anywhere, come to catch you—" "Arrest me for what? Am I breaking the law?" "Well, you have broken the law—" "What law am I breaking?" "You broke the law of leaving without telling—"' She said bitterly: "Who told you to keep ignoring me?" He explained: "I'm busy, I'm not playing—" "Then why don't you go to your business today?" "Just after finishing my work, when I called you, Yao Xiaoping said that you were going back to your hometown today - I thought she was lying to me - I came to the car with the idea of ​​hitting my luck - you really want to go back ?” She was still angry: "Didn't you see me in the car?" "It doesn't matter if you are in the car, you can go down, we can get off at the next stop—" She said stubbornly: "I'm going home—see my parents—" "Then I'll go with you—"
