Fall in a second

"It turns out that this is what it feels like to take the subway." Yan Chu sat on the cold seat, hearing a faint whirring sound, which was the echo of the underground train passing through the passage. With a look of relief, the two of them are finally together again. With the company of their best friends, the city has gradually become warmer.

In the first few stops when we left the train station, there were quite a lot of people on the subway, and then it gradually decreased. People from all over the world scattered around. Lu Ming checked his phone again. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Aunt Ji was still there. Replying to her message, I had no choice but to put away my phone silently, pretending to be indifferent.

"Ah Chu, are you going to work tomorrow?"

"I don't know yet. I just received a notice that I will go to the interview tomorrow. I don't know if I can pass the interview." Yan Chu pinched his trouser legs a little nervously, not so confident: "But I hope I can pass, if I don't pass the interview. , then I can only find a place to work quickly.”

Yan Chu knew that the money left on her body would not last long enough to cover her expenses in this city, so once she failed the interview, she had to find a job as soon as possible, any job would do.

"It will pass, come on!" Lu Ming cheered her on.

After getting off the subway, there is still a distance from Aunt Ji's home when Lu Ming went out, because Ah Chu had already booked a place to stay before he came, and within a radius of two kilometers, this youth hostel is the only one that has vacancies tonight. Compared with staying in hotels and guesthouses, the biggest advantage of youth hostels is that they are cheap, generally within 100 yuan, dozens of yuan.

Lu Ming was not familiar with this area, so the two girls had to follow the navigation together, and found the location of the youth hostel after going around. The entrance was a narrow corridor with dim lights and a pungent damp smell. After passing through the corridor, we arrived at the real location of the hostel. There was a simple front desk, standing a 50-year-old aunt with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Stay in the store."

Yan Chu nodded, and took out the reservation information in his hand.

The woman glanced at it and said, "The deposit is 50 yuan."

Yan Chu paused, quickly took out his wallet, took out a [-] note and put it on the stage, the woman took the money and said, "Turn left on the second floor to the innermost room."

Is that the end?Yan Chu was a little shocked.

Lu Ming reached out and pulled her and whispered, "Let's go and have a look."

Followed the instructions to the second floor. There was no elevator, so two girls carried the suitcase up together. Lu Ming had great strength, so she put in a lot of effort. She pushed open the innermost room in the corridor, and there were actually five people inside.

There are three bunk beds, and the last upper bunk is left, and there are strangers everywhere, Lu Ming is a little worried.

Yan Chu, however, comforted her with the appearance of being at ease when she came: "It's okay, I'll just stay for one night anyway, and it's really cheap, let's put our luggage and go out to find something to eat."

Lu Ming didn't know what to say, so she nodded.

Coming out of the hostel, Lu Ming couldn't help asking: "Is it really okay to put your suitcase there?" She wanted to know the other people in the room. Although not all bad people in the world, there are many more Be careful.

"No problem, don't worry. I'm poor and white. There are only a few old clothes in the box. No one will take them. My wallet and mobile phone are on me." Yan Chu said and reached out to pat his pocket.

While walking, he couldn't help feeling the night view of the city, Yan Chu raised his head and said, "It's so beautiful here, it's exactly the same as what I saw on TV."

Lu Ming nodded in agreement. She also felt that the city was so beautiful, and the people in this city were even more beautiful. Aunt Ji's face flashed in her mind involuntarily.

"I remember that when we came here, there seemed to be a food stall. Let's go there and see if there is anything to eat." Yan Chu hurriedly pulled Lu Ming into a trot, and ate a bowl of instant noodles from two o'clock in the afternoon Up to now, she has not eaten anything for a full eight hours, and her stomach is already so hungry that her chest is pressed against her back.

There are a lot of food in the food stall area, such as the well-known stinky tofu, sizzling tofu, pan-fried small potatoes, pancakes, finger cakes, lotus leaf fried rice, barbecue stalls, grilled cold noodles, rice balls, sushi, pan-fried dumplings, Hot and sour noodles, duck blood vermicelli, etc., there is everything to eat and drink, dazzling, it is the first time for Yan Chu to see so many delicious food gathered together, everyone wants to eat, but the wallet Not allowed, and later she and Lu Ming bought pancakes and fruits, and each of them can eat for less than ten yuan, which is very satisfying.

"Ah, this place is really great, it's simply heaven, I really hope to eat delicious food here every day."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "How can that be? It's better to eat healthily. You can eat these occasionally."

"I finally understand why so many people want to live in a big city. It's so rich that they don't want to leave when they come." Yan Chu sighed, and the two of them bought a cup of milk tea and sat on the bench to eat and drink. chat.

"Yes." Lu Ming agreed.

"By the way." Yan Chu suddenly remembered: "It's getting late, why don't you go back first, Ji Yuqing will be worried about you if it's late?

"No need." Lu Ming shook her head, with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "I'll spend more time with you."

She doesn't want to go back for the time being, if Aunt Ji is not at home, it's useless for her to go back, Lu Ming pursed her lips trying to hide her disappointment.

"Alright, anyway, I can't sleep now, I'm excited, let's go shopping over there." Yan Chu pointed to the shopping mall not far across the road.

"Okay!" Lu Ming nodded in agreement.

At this time, there were no people in the shopping mall, so I had to walk along the street. There were some clothing stores lined up along the street. It might be because of the lighting, the clothes inside were all nice. Yan Chu and Lu Ming went in to have a look. The clothes were not cheap, they were four hundred and five hundred and six hundred, seven hundred and eighty-nine hundred, and Yan Chu was so frightened that he ran out quickly with Lu Ming.

"The clothes are pretty, but you can't afford them." Yan Chu murmured.

"The consumption here is indeed more expensive than at home. If you work hard, you will be able to afford it one day." Lu Ming said.

"When will we become rich, Ah Ming, you must be richer than me."

"Not necessarily, I'm still studying, and I can't earn much money in four years of college."

"But it's different after you graduate. It's much easier to find a job with a diploma than me."

"..."

The two girls walked and chatted with you and me.

Today is 9.30, the anniversary of the death of Ji Youqing and Ji Jingning's parents. They went to the cemetery outside the urban area early this morning, where they visited the grave, offered incense, and prayed for blessings. They stayed almost all day and did not return until dark.

Ji Youqing didn't tell Lu Ming about this matter, and felt that she didn't need to know. It seemed that she was deliberately reminding her parents of what she had done, how she had done favors to her family, and deliberately reminding her of the marriage contract. Ji Youqing didn't think it was necessary. If this is necessary, just spend the day quietly.

At Ji Jingning's home, the two sisters had just returned together.

"It's getting late, are you sure you don't want to go back?" Ji Jingning took off her coat and glanced at her sister lying on the armrest of the sofa.

Ji Youqing squinted her eyes, looking as if she was asleep.

After waiting for a while and no response, Ji Jingning had no choice but to go back to the room first, and when she came out, she brought a blanket and was about to put it on Ji Yuqing, when she spoke.

It sounded like a very confused tone.

"I've always had a dream lately."

Ji Jingning was startled, and asked curiously, "What dream?"

Ji Youqing shook her head lightly, not knowing what to say, but it is true that this dream has affected her for a while.

"I dreamed of... Lu Ming."

After holding back for so long, what Ji Jingning waited for was actually this sentence. She smiled in disbelief: "It's a good thing to dream of her. I'm surprised that you can still dream of her."

Speaking of Ji Jingning sat down next to Ji Youqing, reached out and patted her arm naturally: "Tell me, what have you been dreaming about?"

When Ji Yuqing thought of those things in the dream, he suddenly felt a little bit hard to say, so he simply shook his head and kept silent.

"You don't even trust your sister?" Ji Jingning used aggressive methods.

"I dreamed that she was with another girl and got married." Ji Youqing said this plainly.

"So you're starting to feel a sense of crisis?" Ji Jingning pointed out with a burst of blood.

Ji Youqing immediately denied: "How could that be?"

Seeing her so blunt, Ji Jingning also had her own way, and simply said: "Since that's the case, it doesn't matter. Even if she's in a relationship now, you won't have any opinions, right?"

When Ji Jingning said this, she glanced at Ji Youqing with meaningful eyes.

Ji Youqing raised her eyes in an instant, and then suppressed her voice and asked, "Is she... in a relationship at school?"

"Then I don't know." Ji Jingning smirked triumphantly.

Ji Youqing lowered her eyes silently, she seemed to be in a daze, and she stopped talking.

"How about we play a simple game." Ji Jingning said.

"Stop playing, I'm so sleepy." Ji Youqing squinted slightly on the armrest.

"I'm going to call Lu Ming now to see if she will come over."

"Farewell, sister." Ji Youqing denied her thoughts, "It's already late, forget it."

"It's just a chance to test her heart for you. Instead of you thinking about it, why don't I try it out for you as a sister." Ji Jingning took out her phone without doing anything while talking.

Ji Youqing still didn't think much about it, and said: "I really have nothing, and I don't think about it. She is in a relationship, and I am happy for her."

"Huh, really? Why does this sound so unbelievable to me?"

"Really." Ji Youqing still emphasized, "Stop calling, it's very late now, she should be asleep."

"Because of this, it is even more necessary to test, otherwise how can I rest assured to hand you over to her." Ji Jingning made this call forcefully and could not refuse.

When Lu Ming received the call, she was visiting the night market with Yan Chu, and when she saw the call, she quickly said to her, "Ah Chu, I'll answer the call first."

"Alright then, I'll go over there first."

"Aunt Jingning! Is there any news about Aunt Ji?" Although it was Ji Jingning who answered the call, the first thing Lu Ming asked was about Ji Youqing.

Ji Jingning was so envious after hearing this, the corners of her mouth were raised, her tone was still calm: "My sister is at my house now, if it's convenient for you, can you come over now?"

"It's convenient, it's convenient, I'm very convenient, I'm outside now!" Not far away is Yan Chu looking around, and Lu Ming has already blurted out his convenience without hesitation.

"Alright then, we'll wait for you at home." Ji Jingning hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Lu Ming was so excited that she ran out to find Yan Chu and said, "Ah Chu, I have something urgent to do and I can't go shopping with you."

"Ah? What's the hurry, then you go quickly, don't worry about me, I will follow the navigation and go back to the hostel later."

"Well, then I'll go first, you pay attention to safety, go back early." After Lu Ming finished speaking, she couldn't wait to leave.

Looking at her hurried back, Yan Chu couldn't help wondering what was the matter that was in such a hurry.

After finishing the call, Ji Jingning showed the phone to Ji Youqing: "Let me tell you, the girl will be here soon, it seems that she still cares about you very much."

Ji Youqing had nothing to do with her sister's stubbornness, so she sat up and quickly called Lu Ming with her mobile phone. At this time, Lu Ming stopped a taxi and answered the call after she got in the car and fastened her seat belt.

"Hello, Aunt Ji."

"You go to bed early, you don't have to come here, it's too late, my sister is messing around and you don't care about her."

Being called nonsense by her sister in front of her face, Ji Jingning spread her hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, is she fooling around?

"But I'm in the car now, and I'll be there soon." Lu Ming felt a little embarrassed.

Ji Youqing frowned after hearing this, and had no choice but to say: "I see, be careful on the road."

"I was planning to spend the night with you at night, so there's really no need to bother her here." Ji Youqing said after hanging up the phone.

Ji Jingning folded her arms and looked at her: "Actually, it's not that I want to toss her over, it's you who want to see her. Don't think that I really don't know anything. You've been going back and forth in the cemetery all day today. I checked my phone several times."

"That's a matter of work." Ji Youqing said.

"Whatever you say, she's coming anyway, so let's stay tonight." Ji Jingning stood up after speaking, "I'll find her a change of pajamas."

Seeing her sister walking away, Ji Youqing was sitting on the sofa alone, and when she knew that Lu Ming was rushing this way, there was a rippling in her heart.

It took about 15 minutes to take a taxi from the night market street to Aunt Jingning's house, and I charged her 30 yuan. Although it was a little painful for Luming, it also depended on what it was spent on.

After Lu Ming left, Yan Chu found it boring to go shopping alone, so he started to turn back and forth. During the period, he passed a milk tea shop, bought an ice cream, and passed a park on the way back to the hostel. It was a park with a musical fountain. , Even in the middle of the night, there are still many people scattered in the square, maybe this is the charm and excitement of the metropolis.

Yan Chu was sitting on a bench alone, eating ice cream and looking at the fountain, and in front of him were colorful high-rise buildings.

She believes that one day she will take root here.

The villa not far in front is Aunt Jingning's house. Lu Ming quickened her pace, and then stopped under a street lamp, took out her mobile phone to take a picture of herself under the light, adjusted her appearance, and then keep going.

The doorbell rang outside the door, Ji Youqing got up and went to open the door.

It was indeed Lu Ming standing at the door.

The girl may have come all the way here, panting a little, her chest heaving up and down, the baby's fat face glowing with ruddy luster, which is the breath of youth hormones.

"coming."

"Aunt Ji, are you okay? I'm worried about you today. You haven't heard anything from me." Lu Ming blurted out hastily.

Ji Youqing's heart was unavoidably touched, because she realized that there was such a person who missed her elsewhere.

Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Ji Jingning who came late.

"Lu Ming is here, come in quickly."

"Hello, Aunt Jingning."

Ji Youqing didn't think about what to say, so she simply said, "Come in first."

Lu Ming nodded with a smile, and changed her shoes at the entrance first.

"Are you hungry, do you want something to eat?" Ji Jingning asked again.

"No need for Aunt Jingning, I just ate out not long ago." Lu Ming replied.

"That's right." Ji Jingning glanced at Ji Youqing and said to Lu Ming: "I have something to tell you, come with me."

Seeing this, Ji Youqing said in time: "Then I'll go to rest first."

Lu Ming didn't know what Aunt Jingning wanted her for, but she could guess that it was related to Aunt Ji, so she obediently followed her to a room.

"Sit." Ji Jingning pointed to a bamboo chair in the room.

Lu Ming nodded and sat down, feeling a little nervous.

"You don't mind calling you over so late, do you?" Ji Jingning sat down at the end of the bed in front of her.

Lu Ming shook her head and said, "I don't mind."

"Okay, let's talk about a serious issue today." Ji Jingning paused, "I may be very demanding of you in the future, I hope you don't feel too much pressure, first, the fourth level of English will be taken in the freshman year. Finished, in your sophomore year, I hope you can take another major in economics and management. In addition, I have signed up for the driving test for you. After this holiday, you can find time to practice driving. The driving school is located in the school, which is very convenient. "

Lu Ming was slightly shocked after hearing this, but has not recovered yet.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Ji Jingning had a conversation with Lu Ming last time, otherwise Ji Jingning wouldn't worry about her so much.

"Do you think you can accept this? Because I think you are still young, and it is very important to make yourself outstanding. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you."

"I am willing!"

Of course Lu Ming wants to become outstanding, and it can even be said that she can't wait, because she knows that it is far from enough for her current self to be worthy of Aunt Ji. She can also understand Aunt Jingning's good intentions, because only Only by getting better and better can she give Aunt Ji better protection.

Ji Jingning smiled: "That's good, then I didn't misread you."

"If you encounter any problems during this period, you can feel free to come to me, and I am willing to solve them for you." Ji Jingning hopes to do more things in her limited life, so that she will not leave regrets when she leaves. Okay, she really wanted to be able to see the two of them actually together.

"Although, I shouldn't say such depressing words, but I try my best to become better and better, will Aunt Ji really like me?" Lu Ming asked.

Facing the girl's confused gaze, Ji Jingning smiled and reassured her: "I can assure you, my sister has started to care about you a little bit."

Lu Ming left Aunt Jingning's room, thinking about this sentence all the time, is it true?Is it really?

As he was walking, he bumped into Ji Youqing who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Aunt Ji!"

There was a flash of panic in Ji Youqing's expression, and he quickly calmed down and said, "It's okay."

Lu Ming smiled and shook his head.

"Then, rest early then." Ji Youqing said unnaturally.

"Okay!" Lu Ming agreed with all his mouth, but he was stupid but had no intention of leaving.

When they were about to lift their feet, the two walked to one side at the same time, going back and forth twice before going in their respective directions.

It was really late today, and it was rare for Lu Ming to see Aunt Ji still up so late. It was already one o'clock in the morning when she took a shower and went to bed. The message she sent.

Yan Chu: Let me show you this musical fountain. We didn’t notice it when we walked past it just now. It’s so beautiful. [video]

Yan Chu: I've arrived at the youth hostel, ready to wash up and go to sleep. [Location]

Yan Chu: I have an interview tomorrow morning, I have to go to bed quickly, good night.

Lu Ming took the phone and typed a reply: I'm going to bed too, good night Ah Chu.

After replying to the message, Lu Ming returned to the WeChat message interface. Aunt Ji was the next message of Ah Chu's message. She was staring at the three words and the profile picture. Unexpectedly, the message popped up. Lu Ming was so startled that her breathing almost slowed down by half a beat. ,unbelievable.

Ji Youqing: Should I sleep?

Ji Youqing: There are some things during the day, and I didn't reply to you, so don't take it to heart.

Lu Ming: No sleep, no sleep, no sleep!

Lu Ming was afraid that the other party would think that he had fallen asleep and lose the opportunity to chat, so he quickly sent three times in a row with trembling hands that he was still awake.

Ji Youqing: It's late, aren't you sleepy?

Lu Ming: It's okay, my good friend came to S City today, and people are quite excited.

Ji Youqing: Has your friend come over yet? Is there a place to stay overnight?

Lu Ming: Yes, she found a hostel and is going to interview at her job tomorrow.

Ji Youqing: That's good.

After a while, Lu Ming took the initiative to type a line in the chat box: In fact, it is rare to see Aunt Ji staying up so late...

Just about to send it out, the other party took a step ahead.

Ji Youqing: My sister didn't tell you anything, don't listen to her nonsense.

Lu Ming had no choice but to quickly delete the typed line, and replied: It's nothing, just a very ordinary chat.

Lu Ming: Aunt Ji is worried about what Aunt Jing Ning will say? [Doubt.JPG]

Ji Youqing: No, nothing.

At this time, Lu Ming typed another line in the chat box: Aunt Jingning actually cares about Aunt Ji very much.

Just about to send it out, it was preempted again.

Ji Youqing: [voice]

This time it was a voice message, and it was still 12 seconds long. Without further ado, Lu Ming turned the volume of the phone to the maximum.
