squirrel

Chapter 21

The remaining half of Xia Ri returned to her usual hateful countenance.

Squirrel found a job again the next day. The security guard of the community lived in a room with three men with an average age of [-]. They took turns guarding the gate and patrolling. Go to the dormitory to continue fermentation.

Since he was young, Squirrel was often teased by them at first-but he didn't make those people get their wish.Within a week, no one in the dormitory dared to ask the squirrel to light a cigarette and run errands, although he still liked to say certain words in a pretentious way: "You will know when you are our age."

Squirrel was lying on the upper bunk reading the pirated novels he had rented from the bookstore on the corner of the street.

Mouse received the admission notice from the university in the neighboring city, and he didn't know whether it was a whim or premeditated, and planned to go there a month before the report.Squirrel found out that there was no one else, so he ran to the train station to see him off. The two of them were sweating profusely as they carried the luggage onto the train, feeling like they lost three catties of sweat. "Why do you have to pick this time to leave?"

"In the past, get a job first to get familiar with the environment."

"Come on." The squirrel bumped the mouse with his elbow, "Can't you work here?"

The reason is naturally nothing more than one thing. Mouse's girlfriend was admitted to the same university as him, and there happened to be relatives there, so he picked her up early in the morning to get acquainted with the environment in advance.After hearing this, Squirrel couldn't help laughing at him sourly: "In just one month, you can be so anxious."

"That's a whole month!" Mouse pushed his glasses, "You should understand when you stop being single."

"I'm looking for you!"

The two laughed and quarreled for a long time in the aisle between the carriages, when suddenly a person came up and scared the squirrel's smile into his belly.But Brother Tang ignored him, and walked up to pat the mouse on the shoulder: "Is the luggage packed?"

"Yeah." The mouse looked uneasily between Brother Tang and Squirrel, and replied honestly, "It's all set, brother, why are you here?"

"After everything is done, I still want to send you off."

As Brother Tang said, he took out money again, stuffed five hundred into the mouse's hand, and then gave a few simple instructions, treating the squirrel as air from beginning to end.With him like this, the mouse didn't dare to bring up the previous incident, but said goodbye to the two of them next to each other when the train whistle blew, and then whispered: "Brother, that..."

Brother Tang just smiled and waved at him: "Okay, take care of yourself."

Squirrel originally wanted to slip away as soon as he got off the train, but he didn't know that there was another wave of passengers on the platform, and he couldn't get away.In the blink of an eye, Brother Tang had already followed, and asked him with a fake smile: "Why, have you forgotten about me?"

He had no choice but to stand on his feet honestly: "Brother Tang."

"I'm not good, you're better." Brother Tang turned his head and glanced at the train that was slowly leaving the platform, and then looked up and down the squirrel again, "You are also capable, the rat asked me to promise you to come back every three days , and then came to me all day long, telling me not to argue with you. However, you have already got the lame man into trouble, so you can’t just let it go without saying you’re sorry, can you?”

The meaning in and out of the words were clear enough, Squirrel gritted his teeth, and was just about to tear his face apart, when Tang Ge suddenly threw another sentence: "Besides, your friend who is like Lei Feng... seems to be a teacher in the Fifth Middle School?"

The squirrel widened its eyes.

At first, he still felt that his whole body was as hot as being set on fire, but Brother Tang's words were like a basin of ice water pouring down his head, pouring a chill into his heart. "Don't..." He said in a hoarse voice, trying to hold back a flattering smile, but he didn't know if he succeeded, "That friend of mine is just a muscle, and he's stupefied. I made trouble, didn't he?" Hold on, Brother Tang, if you are free now, take me there to make amends for the lame boy, okay?"

Brother Tang was waiting for this sentence. After leaving the train station, he quickly brought the squirrel to a certain shop.The shopkeeper is a new face, and Qian Laoer is playing cards with his gang of brothers at the back of the shop. The former squirrels also hang out with them, smoking cheap cigarettes and drinking low-quality wine, thinking that their lives are quite comfortable.

If I hadn't met Gao Liyuan, I would still be one of them at this time, right?

Squirrel only had time to think this sentence in his mind, and soon, the whole room addicted to the game noticed Brother Tang who went in first, and Squirrel who followed behind Brother Tang.

"Look who I brought."

Brother Tang said slowly: "I was walking on the road and suddenly saw an old friend. As a result, as soon as this old friend met me, he immediately came to me crying and told me that he accidentally offended someone a while ago. Brother, beg me to bring him here and make an apology myself—isn't it, squirrel, squirrel?"

The people in the room laughed loudly, and the squirrel even wanted to laugh along with it for a moment.He remembered that when he met Brother Tang for the first time four years ago, the people in that room laughed at his new name like this, and he obviously hated the nickname of squirrel, but he had to laugh along with him, for fear hated by someone.

At this time, he thought, who cares.

Brother Tang didn't want to interfere with their affairs, so he led the people and left.The squirrel watched as Qian Lao Er ordered the younger brothers to collect the poker, then went to the next door Bai Hotel to buy several bottles of low-quality baijiu, and put them on the table heavily.

"Okay, we all know people, so don't make too much noise." Qian Laoer said hypocritically, pointing to the bottle in front of him, "Apologize, how about a toast first?"

The squirrel didn't speak, picked up a bottle of wine, raised its head and poured it into its belly.The owner of the store next door is also a profiteer, and he sells very poor loose wine, let alone the cheapest one.The squirrel only felt that he was drinking alcohol. After half a bottle, his stomach was already on fire.

But he can't stop.

Squirrel didn't know how much wine he drank in the end, but felt that the fire in his stomach seemed to go up the esophagus, and finally burned into his brain, roasting his brain to boil.The laughter and boos around him became loud and small drumbeats in his ears, and he was sewn into the drum, sweating profusely.

Someone grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously. The squirrel staggered a few steps, hit the wall, and suddenly bent down to vomit.He didn't eat, and what he vomited out was only some water, which smelled of pungent wine, and he choked himself to cough.

It seemed that someone cursed loudly, and he was picked up by the hair again, and he was slapped twice.The sight seemed to be a little clearer now, and the squirrel saw clearly that it was Qian Er Er who slapped him, and he struggled to fight back, but he spat all over him again when he opened his mouth.

Qian Er Er pushed the squirrel to the ground: "Damn it! You little bastard..."

But he couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling how much more comfortable he would be if he had won back a victory.Qian Laoer hopped to change his clothes, and there was almost a commotion in the room. The two newcomers helped him up and carried him outside the store—not forgetting to take the opportunity to take the money in his pocket.

"get out!"

The squirrel suddenly lost its support, and finally stood up against the electric pole after rolling and crawling for several steps.At this time, it was the first time when the lights came on, and people passing by on the street thought that Squirrel was a drunk and automatically cut off a space around him.

Holding on to the street lamp, he vomited again and stood there panting for a long time before finally feeling some strength in his legs and moving forward step by step.The money was taken away, but it didn't make any difference. He definitely couldn't get on the bus in this state, and taking a taxi was too expensive.

The squirrel didn't know how long he had stumbled along the side of the road, but he only knew that the sweat that had been stimulated by the bad wine before was cooled by the evening wind, and it was sticky wrapped around his body.The hustle and bustle around him gradually weakened, and a unit building appeared in his sight. He walked in, climbed up to the fifth floor, stood at the door and took out the key, but he couldn't find it.

"Fuck, I forgot to bring it again..." He muttered and slammed on the door, "Gao Liyuan, open the door!"

The iron gate made his palms hurt, and the pain made Squirrel suddenly realize that he was no longer here.

He was about to leave, but the anti-theft door behind him suddenly opened, accompanied by Gao Liyuan's complaint: "Knock on the door softly, aren't you here to beg for... squirrels?"

The voice paused, and the tone suddenly became serious: "What's going on with you?"

"Fuck the squirrel, my name is Jiang Mingyue!"

Squirrel raised his voice and replied, thinking in a daze, why did he ask this question every time, endlessly.

But before he could really say this, Gao Liyuan had already dragged him into the room, and saw the red marks on his face clearly through the light of the living room, and frowned even tighter: "What the hell is going on?" of?!"

The squirrel didn't speak.He didn't know what was going on, but as soon as he entered this room, he suddenly felt relaxed, and he didn't even want to lift a finger.The drunkenness that had not completely dissipated came back again, and the squirrel slumped back to its usual position, squinted its eyes, and let out a few soft moans from its nasal cavity, just wanting to fall asleep like this.

A cool towel suddenly covered his face.

"Quick wipe."

Gao Liyuan hadn't seen the squirrel for almost a month, and he was so shocked when he saw the squirrel that he wanted to send him to the hospital immediately.The squirrel's clothes were in a mess, and its cheeks were swollen. He heard Gao Liyuan shout but he was still paralyzed there, letting the towel cover his face, and only said, "It's so noisy."

Gao Liyuan had no choice but to wipe his face himself, and then helped the squirrel take off his shirt and put on a clean one—fortunately, he lost one when he moved out.

Squirrel moved out of Gao Liyuan's house for more than a month, and the few taels of meat he had accumulated so hard seemed to be gone, and he was darker and thinner than before.The long gash left by the previous fight was completely intact, leaving only a shallow mark on the arm.

Gao Liyuan clenched his heart, fed him a few sips of hot tea, washed the towel again, folded it, and planned to put it on the squirrel's face to give him a cold compress.Unexpectedly, just as the towel was put on, the squirrel suddenly opened its eyes and called him in a straight voice: "Gao Liyuan."

The squirrel opened its eyes wide, as if it was sober or completely drunk, and said quickly, "Why are you always being so nice to me?"

The chandelier on the top of the head is a style that I am all too familiar with, and the tea in my mouth is a taste that I am very familiar with. I don’t know how many times I have tossed the question in my heart before, and I just said it out of my mouth by drinking. :

"Gao Liyuan, do you like me?"

The squirrel was answered by silence—almost exactly the same as the two previous silences, but this time, the squirrel was a little confused.As if wanting to drive away the helplessness, he continued: "Actually, I can do it too. If you want to sleep with me, you can try it...Anyway, I'm quite curious."

With a "snap", the glass fell to the ground and shattered.

The squirrel was stabbed by the sound, and the wine suddenly woke up halfway.There were tea stalks dripping everywhere on the floor, but Gao Liyuan didn't even look at them, his face was so ugly that he could stretch out his hand to slap himself at any time.The squirrel trembled, but Gao Liyuan stood up suddenly, and said in a low voice, "This is not the same thing!"

The door opened and closed again, and the tea, which was still warm just now, formed a lake on the floor, and it became cold in an instant.The remaining half of the squirrel regained consciousness one by one, and then he stood up abruptly from the sofa, opened the door and was about to catch up.

As a result, it crashed into a generous back.

Gao Liyuan was standing at the door, and was terrified by the squirrel's bump: "What's wrong?"

"Don't drive me away."

The squirrel grabbed his arm: "I was talking nonsense just now, don't drive me away."

He leaned on Gao Liyuan's back and felt a sigh from inside his chest: "When did I overtake you?"
