rejuvenation

After more than ten years in the old community, there are very few old people living in it, and it is an old-fashioned building, so sometimes my old neighbors look at me in surprise, and then walk away with an attitude that has nothing to do with me.

I managed to get the gas and electricity back on, and repurchased some necessities, and finally settled down.

I lived alone on New Year’s Eve this year, and it’s not the first time I think about it. It’s just that I haven’t lived this kind of orphan life for a long time, and I’m not used to it for a while.Lawyer Wang came over and sent me the relevant procedures of the real estate certificate. I was shocked when I saw the situation in the house. As for the hatred, Mr. Xiao really loves you. He has always been used to saying one thing in the company. Maybe he is not good at raising children. Some things don’t take your thoughts into consideration. Just let him go down the stairs. There's no need to be so stiff."

I smiled and thanked him, and sent him out the door.

It didn't take long for everyone in the Xiao family to know what they should know. I first answered a call from Xiao Weilin who was filled with righteous indignation and scolded me for being ungrateful and letting down my uncle. Then I laughed and said, "Isn't this just in your favor? Why are you so angry? ?” Xiao Weilin’s voice became louder: “I was so angry because I thought of you as a friend!” I comforted her: “Actually, I’m fine now.” Xiao Weilin complained to me again, and finally persuaded her After a few sentences, I hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lingyuan's call also came: "I haven't returned to China yet, why did you break the news like this? What happened? Did you quarrel with your little uncle?"

I was only the second person, so I felt too tired of explaining again and again, and said bluntly: "I just feel that I am not used to your life and I don't want to live it. I was originally a child of an ordinary family, and now I am just returning to the right way. "

Zhang Lingyuan was silent for a while before he said softly: "Xiao Wu, after all these years, you actually didn't regard us as relatives and friends at all, did you?"

I was taken aback, but hung up the phone over there.

... Is this Zhang Lingyuan, who has always been good-tempered, mad at me?I smile wryly.The next day Ning Yin sent me a text message: Well done, don't regret it.

In fact, I regret a little... I shouldn't have such a bad fight with Xiao Ke. Obviously, I used his affection to solve the dilemma of my sudden rejuvenation, solved the identity problem, and was able to live safely up to now with another identity, let alone Speaking of Xiao Ke's careful nurturing of me in the past ten years, now I am really a white-eyed wolf, but the only way to repay him is to accept his all-round control and arrangement, to be the good son and heir he wants, I can not do it.

I can no longer stay by his side, as his son, with other emotions in my arms, and then accept his arrangement as the heir to all property, which is beyond my original intention, and the huge gap between our concepts prevents me from Way to imagine and he still has a future to speak of.

The school started not long after New Year’s Eve. Most people in the university are in charge of their own affairs, so life is still the same as before, but I started to submit the application for the second degree minor... I still haven’t directly transferred to the department. After reading the book for a year, it is not wrong to say that there is nothing to gain. I still have a lot of interest in economics, which broadens my horizons a lot, and some things I have experienced before are quite interesting when viewed from the other side. The harvest, the relationship with the professor and the teacher is not bad, in fact, Xiao Ke's arrangement is not very excessive, what I dislike is his way of threatening me with innocent people and his condescending attitude of arranging and controlling everything about me.

I finished the second semester in a mediocre manner. During the summer vacation, I went to a travel magazine to work as an intern with an internship salary. I went to several places with the travel reporter. When the school started, I was a little tanned and went back to school. .

Because I have to take a minor, the homework will be heavier, and it is difficult to work part-time, and I have to pay a tuition fee and a minor fee. It will be very tight to rely on savings and part-time wages, so I did not choose accommodation. Other students and counselors in the school only I thought I was still renting a house outside, but in fact I bought a bicycle, and I rode the bicycle across half of H City to attend classes early in the morning. Fortunately, I was young and didn't feel tired.

And being busy keeps me from thinking too much.

Unexpectedly, He Yun came to look for me that day, and smiled when he saw me: "I also got admitted, and I'm in the same department as you."

I haven't seen him for a year. He Yun is so tall that I almost forgot about him. He couldn't help but smile when he saw my bewildered expression: "You still look like that. I never thought you would make such an earth-shattering move." thing."

I don't want to talk about this topic anymore, He Yundao: "Most people think that Mr. Xiao gave up on you because he thought you were unbearable, and there are also a small number of rumors that you took the initiative to terminate the relationship with the guardian. The rumors behind it are ugly."

I pursed my lips and said, "This has nothing to do with me."

He Yun smiled slightly: "How can a person who has skipped so many levels to be admitted to Z University be so unbearable? I tend to believe the latter... To be honest, I really admire you. You don't know Mr. Xiao How much property do you have under your name? You really left your adoptive father without nostalgia... You are really a very thoughtful person."

I frowned: "I don't know you very well, you're talking too much."

He Yun smiled and said: "No, I actually have an idea. I want to start a company. I think you have a very good character. I want to partner with you. What do you think? It's just a test of the water. I want to do logistics. Express delivery, the prospect market should be good, you are also studying business management now, and you will also take this path in the future, why don’t we accumulate some experience first, don’t worry, you don’t need to contribute funds, you just need to invest in technology.”

I refused straight away: "No, I'm not interested."

He Yun was a little annoyed, but he still held back: "Don't rush to answer, why don't you think about it?"

I looked at him calmly: "He Yun, I know what you think, because the immediate family members of officials are not allowed to do business. If you want to start a business, you need a reliable agent to avoid hidden dangers, and my former status as Xiao Ke's adopted son will probably still bring a lot of trouble. Certain interests and attention, but my personal ambition is not here, I just want to live an ordinary and simple life, I hope you will not be angry about this, it is better to find someone else, don't force it."

He Yun stared at me for a while, then suddenly smiled: "I seem to think you are too simple, that's right, a person who can stand out and be admitted to Z University, and can make such a decision, is an ordinary person, well, I wish you You can live the life you want."

It should be the life I want, right?

When I rode my bicycle through the tree-lined road in the early morning, caught in the traffic to go to and from class, the sycamore leaves fell one after another. When I looked up from the vast sea of ​​questions and ancient books in the quiet night, I heard the ticking sound of the clock on the wall. , the aloe vera on the balcony is full of vitality, and the oleander next to the old house is in full bloom. The extremely quiet life makes me sometimes have the illusion that I am really old, because the enthusiasm and turbulence once made me The feeling of wanting to live and die has really gradually settled down. I will never feel such a strong feeling again. I only occasionally think of Xiao Ke, and I still feel tenderness in my heart. I hope he can come out as soon as possible and start again His life, he obviously lives at the top of the society, lives well, and is an excellent person, but because I have missed him for so many years, I am ashamed of him, but after those ten years, I clearly see the huge gap between us , whether conceptual or otherwise.

I only like a peaceful and comfortable life, but he believes in the law of jungle competition where the winner is king.

Life is not difficult. I took the postgraduate entrance examination in the second semester of my senior year, and I did not choose to go out to work. I like the relatively quiet atmosphere of the campus. I hope to be a university teacher in the future. For this goal, I need a higher degree. The degree is not enough, and it didn't take long for me to get an acceptance letter from the graduate school of Z University...the direction is comparative literature.

Tuition fees are still a big problem, and I don’t have enough money in my X’ebao. The only good thing is that I never planned to get married and have children, so I don’t have any family burdens, and I have the benefits of living a lifetime, At least I don't have to save money.

I had no choice but to go out to find a part-time job again. I was very busy, but I received a call that day, and the person on the other end of the phone said angrily: "Xiao Wu, you really live your life with peace of mind. Are you being a white-eyed wolf out of guilt?"

It was Guan Linfeng, I was a little stunned... If he was angry, it should have been three years ago, why did it take so long, and he suddenly called me again and was so angry?

I didn't have a good impression of him at first, so I naturally retorted: "Without me, you should be very comfortable. Why, in the past three years, have you successfully erased the white moonlight in Xiao Ke's heart?"

He paused there, as if he was choked by me, he took a deep breath, gave up the verbal argument with me, and said quickly: "Xiao Ke had a car accident and injured his spine, his legs can't walk now."

I exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Guan Linfeng's voice was as cold as ice slag: "There is hope for recovery through treatment, but he refuses treatment, and also refuses visits from all relatives and friends. He ignores everything in the company and refuses to see people. The doctor said he I’m afraid it’s affected psychologically and tends to be negative and world-weary. Xiao Wu, if you still have a little bit of conscience about Xiao Ke’s ten years, go see him! Try to persuade him to receive treatment, otherwise the delay will reduce the chances of recovery. It will get smaller and smaller!"
