President of Zhuma PK

At five o'clock in the morning, the bus finally arrived at City Y amidst the bumps.

Li Fan and the others didn't stay long. After getting off the bus, they immediately bought a boat ticket to S city, and boarded the boat at 05:30.

Song Ci was a little excited, "I've never been on a ship when I grow up."

However, the excitement didn't last long before it disappeared.

There was too much wind and waves on the sea, and the huge ship was like a falling leaf on the wide sea, bumping violently.

Song Ci vomited while leaning on the side of the boat, almost fainting, his face turned pale.

Li Fan was anxious beside him, but he had no choice but to keep patting him on the back next to him, trying to make him feel better.It is also the first time in his life to take a boat, how would he know how to deal with seasickness?But it's a good thing he doesn't get seasick, otherwise it would be really bad.

Fortunately, after nearly an hour of vomiting, Song Ci finally got used to the bumps on the boat, and his vomiting was no longer so severe.

A red sun gradually rose above the sea.

The entire surface of the sea was dyed bright red, as if it was on fire.

Facing the sea breeze, the two sighed at the same time: "It's so beautiful."

Then, they looked at each other and smiled.

When the fiery red sun turned golden yellow and hung in the sky, the ship finally arrived at a certain port in City S and slowly docked on the shore.

Li Fan supported the weak Song Ci to carefully descend the steep stairs. After setting foot on the ground for a long time, Song Ci still felt that his feet were floating, as if he was stepping on clouds.

A taxi driver came up immediately, "Where are you two going? Let's take a taxi, it's fast and convenient."

This question really stuck with them.

It was a sudden escape for which they were not prepared at all.They are newcomers and unfamiliar with the place, so they have nowhere to go.

Li Fan ignored the taxi driver, bypassed him and walked forward.Unexpectedly, the driver persevered and chased after him: "Both of you, the sun is so poisonous, I'm afraid you're going to suffer from heat stroke if it stays in the sun. Tell me where to go, and I'll make sure you get there safely."

Li Fan glanced at Song Ci beside him, whose face was still pale, and was a little shaken.

Song Ci shook his head weakly at Li Fan, "We don't have much money on us, so we must save some money."

Li Fan hesitated, "But you..."

Song Ci interrupted him with a smile: "I'm fine."

Li Fan had no choice but to reject the taxi driver's offer again, and helped Song Ci walk to the waiting room, "Let's go to the waiting room to rest for a while, and discuss where we are going."

Li Fan found a relatively quiet place to settle Song Ci, and went to the small shop in the waiting room to buy two breads and two bottles of water. The two of them made do to fill their stomachs before they began to discuss what to do next. .

"The 1000 yuan your mother gave me before I left, the transportation fare along the way alone cost more than 600 yuan. Now, I only have 340 yuan left for my whole body. This amount of money is probably only enough to rent a car in the suburbs of S city." It's a small single room, and it doesn't require a deposit." Li Fan calmly analyzed their current financial situation.

On the train, through the old man's introduction, they already had a general understanding of the rent level in city S.

Song Ci asked: "Then what shall we eat after paying the rent?"

Li Fan said: "I'll look for a job as soon as the housing is settled. In such a big city, I still can't believe I can't find a job that can make a living."

Song Ci took the schoolbag, dug out the Nokia 5300 that Li Guolai had given him, and handed it to Li Fan.

"This is a gift from Li Guolai who came back from Qingdao for a trip. According to my mother, the price is around 1000 yuan. I haven't even opened the machine, and it's brand new. It should sell for seven or eight hundred."

Song Ci took out another book from his schoolbag, which was his favorite "Wuthering Heights".

He opened the book, took out a red passbook from the pages and handed it to Li Fan.

"This passbook was opened when I was 12 years old. I put all the pocket money I saved over the years and the money I earned from part-time jobs in it. Adding interest, it should be about 3000 yuan."

Li Fan was really taken aback.

3000 yuan may not be a big deal for a working adult, but for minors like them who still need to depend on their parents to survive, it is already an unattainable astronomical figure.Of course, this kind of argument does not apply to a young man like Ye Hanjiang who spends money like water.

Li Fan opened the passbook, and the single deposit amount recorded on it was very small, five yuan, ten yuan, twenty, until the last deposit, the available balance on the passbook was 3279.80 yuan.

What kind of perseverance and expectations did Song Ci use to save this money?

"What were you going to do with the money?"

Song Ci smiled, and put the book back into the bag, "Originally, I planned to use this money to leave my mother and the men who left my mother, and start over alone."

Li Fan was silent for two seconds, and said, "This is why you said two days ago that you might disappear from my life after a while, right?"

Song Ci nodded.

Obviously these things happened not long ago, but when I think about it now, it feels like a lifetime away.

He smiled and said, "Now it seems that my plan has come true."

Li Fan stared at the passbook in his hand, wondering what he was thinking, "But, I haven't disappeared from your life."

Song Ci sighed slightly, and said: "Yes, our lives are tightly bound together instead. The world is really impermanent." After finishing speaking, he picked up his schoolbag and said to Li Fan who was still in a trance: " Let's go, let's go find a house. When we find a house, I must sleep for three days and three nights."

Li Fan raised his head and said, "You were so seasick just now, and the sun outside is so poisonous. If you really suffer from heatstroke like the driver brother said, it will be even more difficult. In my opinion, you should stay here and wait." Follow me, I will come back to pick you up when I find the house."

"How about that..."

Li Fan interrupted him: "What? Are you afraid that I will abscond with the money?"

"A mere 3000 yuan is not worth letting you abscond with the money."

Li Fan immediately said decisively: "Since that's the case, it's a deal. You stay here and wait for me. If you're hungry, go to the small shop over there to buy something to eat, and if you're thirsty, go to buy water. Do you understand?"

No way, Song Ci had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Li Fan handed over his backpack to Song Ci, then turned around and left without looking back.

He left and didn't come back until late at night.

The air conditioner in the waiting room was fully turned on, and Song Ci felt cold.

He took out a long-sleeved shirt from his bag and put it on, curled up on the hard plastic seat, staring at the entrance of the waiting room with his eyes wide open.

A man who looked like a security guard came over and asked, "Young man, I think you have been here for more than ten hours. Are you waiting for someone?"

Song Ci still stared at the entrance, nodded slowly: "Yes."

The man advised him: "I haven't come after waiting for so long, I definitely won't come. I think you'd better go home quickly, don't wait here foolishly."

Song Ci shook his head, "No, he will definitely come. He hasn't come yet because he is on his way."

"Then this road is really far enough." After speaking, the man shook his head and walked away.

The man had gone far away, but Song Ci was still muttering in a low voice: "He will definitely come back, he will definitely come back, he won't just leave me like this..."

I don't know if I'm telling others or comforting myself.

Li Fan never came back.

Song Ci gradually panicked.

He began to tell himself over and over again: You have to trust Li Fan... you have to trust Li Fan...

After waiting for a long time, Song Ci couldn't bear it anymore, so he fell asleep on the seat with his schoolbag on his head.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but he was suddenly awakened by a violent shaking.

Opening his eyes in a haze, Li Fan's anxious face came into view.

Li Fan said reproachfully: "You are really brave, to sleep so deeply in this crowded waiting room, if someone has evil intentions towards you and carries you on your shoulders, you won't Know."

Song Ci stared at him blankly, as if he didn't know him anymore.

Li Fan then asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Song Ci suddenly felt his nose sore and almost burst into tears, but he tried his best to hold back.

"How did you go so long?"

"It's not so easy to find a suitable and cheap house in a strange city. You don't know how troublesome it is just to find the addresses on the rental advertisements on the side of the road."

"Then... have you rented a suitable house?"

Li Fan had a rare smug smile on his face, "That goes without saying."

He flashed a silver-gray key on his palm as if by magic, "Look, this is the key to our new home."

new home?What an exciting word.

Song Ci picked up the key from Li Fan's hand, with a strange look in his eyes, "Our new life will start here."

"Yes, a fresh start."

Li Fan sat down beside Song Ci, leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Song Ci turned around and looked at Li Fan's exhausted face and chapped lips, with unspeakable complex emotions in his heart.
