Addicted

Xu Huai woke up the next morning and was awakened by pain.

The tiny shards of glass on the back were taken out last night by the doctor using a scalpel to cut open the surrounding skin. In some places, the wound was too large, and many stitches were stitched up.Now, when Xu Huai opened his eyes, what he saw was the transparent dropper and the pale ceiling.

"Hiss—" As soon as she moved, she felt the pain of being pulled all over her body. The scenes of last night were filtered through her mind like a movie.

As if suddenly thinking of something, Xu Huai suddenly pulled out the indwelling needle on the back of his hand, sat up, and jumped out of bed.

Xu Huai was walking slowly while leaning on the wall alone. She had a hunched back, and the pain in her back seemed to be pricked by needles. Every tiny movement of her stimulated her nerves. At that time, the back of the large hospital gown was already stained with blood.

Xu Huai is still thinking about Xu Zhouyun's illness. Yesterday's attending doctor made it very clear that whether Xu Zhouyun can survive this time depends on whether he can wake up this morning.

It may be that God finally took pity on her once. When Xu Huai walked to the intensive care unit, she happened to meet the doctor on duty. As if she saw the savior of the doomsday, she took a brisk walk and walked up.

"Doctor, how is my dad doing now!" There was obvious tension in her eyes, and she even swallowed uneasily.

What happened yesterday caused a sensation in the whole hospital. After all, it is not common for a family of three to die and two to be injured. Now the doctor on duty looked at Xu Huai in front of him, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, "Is Xu Zhouyun's family? I'm awake now, but still very weak and can't be stimulated."

Xu Huai also understood the doctor's implication. She bowed gratefully to the man in the white coat in front of her, "Thank you." on the floor and splashed flowers.

After the doctor left, Xu Huai hid outside the door and secretly observed the man lying on the hospital bed through the transparent glass viewing port.

Her nose is a little sore, but these are not the most important.Xu Huai thought, isn't the current situation considered the best?At least, she still has a relative alive.

At this moment, the cell phone in her pocket rang suddenly.

Xu Huai was taken aback, she answered the phone in a hurry, the number on it was a little strange.

"Hello?"

"Is that Miss Xu Huai? Hello, here at the funeral home, ten o'clock this morning, you haven't forgotten, right?"

Xu Huai hung up the phone, hung his head, and stood at the end of the corridor.

Her long hair is a bit messy, and she hasn't combed her hair today. The blue striped hospital gown has been stained with red blood. At first glance, it is still a little scary.

Xu Huai bit her lower lip, and there was a hard scab on it, but when she tried hard, the scab broke again, and blood oozes out again.

She should be rushing to the funeral home right now, but she has no money.The funeral home is not a welfare institution, and it is impossible to cremate her mother for her for free, and it is impossible to give her a cemetery for free.She needs money so much!But there is really no dime!

Yesterday afternoon, she already understood clearly that the real estate of the family had been mortgaged out long ago. When the company was acquired hostilely, in order to make up for the losses of shareholders, all valuable things in the family had been sold. Earlier, they Everyone is out of money!

Now, Xu Huai can't afford a penny.Those relatives in her family are unreliable. After calling yesterday, they all set her number into a blacklist. Now, Xu Huai only feels that she is alone and has nowhere to turn for help.

A missed call caught Xu Huai's eyes. It was a call from her university professor Fu Miaoyun last night when she was still in Tingjing.

Xu Huai hesitated again and again, and finally dialed the number.She no longer dared to have anything to do with Xu Shi. She should return the Xu family's money slowly in the future.

Fu Miaoyun quickly answered the phone. During this period of time, she was only in charge of Xu Huai's competition, and her courses were assigned to the rest of the teachers by the school.It's just that no one thought that Xu Huai would run away, and the half-year sprint turned into a bubble overnight.

"Xu Huai."

"teacher."

Xu Huai couldn't help but get hot. She knew that what she did yesterday was not only a loss to herself, but also a loss to Fu Miaoyun and the school. Now, she still has the cheek to ask for help. In fact, it was also a kind of torture for her.

"I, there is something I want to ask for your help." Her words almost popped out of her teeth. It was the first time she did such a shameless thing.

Fu Miaoyun's mentality is considered peaceful now, Xu Huai is her student, and after a few years of facing each other day and night, she knows that Xu Huai is not such an insignificant student, but she doesn't know what exactly Xu Huai met Before the incident, she still had a hurdle in her heart.

"What's the matter, you said."

Xu Huai reached out and picked at the snow-white wall in front of him, and lowered his voice, "Teacher, can you lend me some money?"

Fu Miaoyun was a little surprised by this request.

Students who can apply for art majors in University A are from wealthy families, and art students burn a lot of money. Everyone knows this.And she also knew a little bit about Xu Huai's family background. Although she didn't say it was a wealthy family, it could be considered a middle-class family.

"What happened? How much do you need? Give me an account number, and I'll transfer it to you right now." Fu Miaoyun still believed in Xu Huai from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing such a straightforward answer, Xu Huai's eyes felt a little hot, and she sniffed, "But teacher, I may not be able to pay back the money in a short time, you should think about it first?"

"You still have to be so pretentious when you borrow money? Hurry up and say how much, what is the use for! If you spend money in an improper place, I will not borrow it!" Fu Miaoyun said.

Xu Huai's heart warmed up, tears finally flowed out uncontrollably, she hardly made a sobbing sound, and when she was about to bear it, she stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, calmed down a bit before talking into the microphone Said: "My family is bankrupt, assets are now frozen, my mother is currently being cremated, and my father is still in the ICU ward. Money is tight..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Fu Miaoyun, "Is 50 enough?"

Xu Huai finally couldn't help it, and let out a little whimpering sound, she tried her best to control her emotions, she didn't want others to misunderstand that she was playing the sympathy card, "Thank you, Teacher Xie, [-] is enough, enough... ..." She was a little out of breath.

"Hurry up and send me the account number. You are a real kid. For such an important matter, you just stay in your stomach and don't say anything. You..."

Xu Huai was holding the phone and was speechless. She had experienced enough of the warmth and coldness of human relations in the past two days.

"Thank you, teacher, thank you..." She could not repay these kindnesses.

The bank transfer text message came very quickly, Xu Huai wiped his eyes with his hand, turned around and walked outside, and by the way, even called Xu Zhouyun to tell him not to worry.Although Xu Zhouyun can't see his appearance now, it is still very important to call to report his safety.

Arriving at the funeral home in a hurry, the person who was in contact with her yesterday was still shocked when she saw her.

"Xu, Ms. Xu?" The man also felt sympathetic to the girl's experience yesterday, but when he saw Xu Huai again today, his eyes could only bear it.No matter how you look at it yesterday, he was still a good person. Except that his mental state was really bad, everything else was fine.But now, if it wasn't for the warm breathing of the person standing in front of him, he would almost think he was just seeing a ghost in daylight.

Xu Huai's condition is extremely poor, her eyes are swollen, her hair is disheveled, and more importantly, she still has many small wounds on her hands yesterday, and these wounds have not yet healed, and the □□ is outside, which is a bit shocking.

"Hello, I'm sorry, I'm a little late, where can I pay the fee?" Xu Huai smiled weakly at the visitor. She stood in the sun, but still felt cold.

"Follow me, hey, are you okay?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern." Xu Huai's voice floated in the air, "I was bothering you yesterday, and I will give you all the money from the cemetery at that time, and I will trouble you later..."

The sound faded away.

Xu Huai was holding the small urn that belonged to Wu Yun after going through all the formalities. When she bent down to pack up the ashes of the person who gave birth to her, tears fell into Wu Yun's eyes. In her body, at that moment, Xu Huai was completely awake. The future is still very long, and she needs to walk a long way alone.

She looked up at the sky, letting the tears flow back down her stomach.

"Miss Xu, be careful on the steps..." the person who led her to the cemetery reminded her kindly.

Xu Huai said thank you and tried hard to make her face not look so stiff.

After dealing with the affairs of the cemetery, it was already afternoon.

Xu Huai was so hungry that her chest was stuck to her back, so she only ate a piece of toast in the past two days.

"Miss Xu, do you want to come to our cafeteria for lunch?" The funeral home worker couldn't bear to see her like this, and asked.

Xu Huai forced a smile, but refused.She has more important things to do now than eating.

Xu Huai took the subway to the city center. Having lived in City M for so many years, she knows the city very well.The street near Central Park in the city center is a piano store, and now she only has one goal left, to make money.

With slightly heavy steps, Xu Huai walked into a piano store where she once bought a piano, but she was kicked out before she even opened her mouth.

"Let's go, we don't do charity here!" The boss frowned, and immediately judged her as a beggar.Xu Huai was pushed staggeringly on the steps and nearly fell down.She wanted to argue, but looking down at her current appearance, she shut up embarrassingly.

I went to several stores one after another, and there was a sign at the door that they wanted to recruit a part-time piano teacher. The kind shopkeeper looked at her like this and wanted to agree, but at the moment when Xu Huai was full of hope, there was The phone call came to the piano shop.

The boss of the piano shop didn't know what he heard, and the gaze he looked at Xu Huai became more and more meaningful. Finally, he hung up the phone and didn't look at Xu Huai again, just dispelling his previous thoughts.

"Miss Xu, our piano shop is temporarily closed, sorry!"

At first, Xu Huai thought that some acquaintance of the owner of the piano shop might have introduced the relatives, but she met several companies one after another with the same excuses, so she understood.Where is this that others are not recruiting?It was just because she was the one who recruited, and someone wanted to stop her.

Xu Huai smiled wryly. It may be said that her profession is relatively easy to succeed in this line of work, but they are not even willing to give her a part-time job.She didn't blame the bosses of these piano shops, but hated the people behind the scenes for doing things too badly.
