Chapter 09 I Don't Like People Who Are Too Hypocritical

I am very upset.

Chen Jin is my only friend since I came to country Z, and the only person with whom I can chat freely. I am very afraid of losing him.

I have never opened Chen Jin's wallet, but I can probably guess the thickness of the banknotes inside.

Before going to sleep, I lay down on the pillow, compared a thickness of about one centimeter with my thumb and forefinger and asked Yan Minglang: "If there are so many banknotes of the largest denomination, how much is it?"

He didn't move, just rolled his eyes and looked at me.

"Ten thousand."

Ten thousand.

I only have 1 yuan a week to work part-time, and it takes 52 weeks to earn [-] yuan, and there are only [-] weeks in a year.

I sighed, it seems that just washing the dishes is not enough.I frowned and unconsciously snapped my fingers, thinking about ways to make money.

While meditating, I seemed to hear a very light sneer, I looked up at Yan Minglang, he was still reading seriously.

Maybe I got it wrong.

I lowered my head again and buried my face in the pillow.

The quilt on my body was lifted suddenly, and before I could raise my head, I was deeply pressed into the soft mattress by Yan Minglang's heavy and tall body.

The next morning, I saw an envelope next to my pillow containing a stack of banknotes.

One centimeter thick.

I stared blankly at the stack of pink banknotes, and the unprecedented loneliness and sadness gradually wrapped my heart.

It turned out that I heard the ridicule correctly.

He thought I was hinting.

It was not the first time that Yan Minglang had misunderstood him, but for some reason, this time was especially uncomfortable.

But at least it is a good thing that Chen Jin's money can be returned to him.I comfort myself like this.

I sealed the stack of banknotes together with the envelope, not daring to carry them with me at any time like before, so I pressed them under the mattress, and prepared to wait for the day when Chen Jin came to work, and then came back to give them to him.I lived very close to each other, and it didn't take long to go back and forth.

But I never met Chen Jin again.

Even when I called him, he didn't answer, and when I sent him a message, it was like a mud cow falling into the sea, never returning.

I went to ask the boss and kept repeating "Jin" to him.

He waved his hand and said three words.

I sent a message to Yan Minglang and asked him what the three Chinese characters meant.

He told me that it means "resignation".

A chill suddenly swept over my whole body.

I do not understand.

It is indeed my fault that I lost his money, but I clearly said that I would pay him back. Is it necessary to be angry to the point of breaking up?

Even if you really want to break up the relationship, shouldn't you tell me clearly?

It turned out that he was the same as Yan Minglang.

No matter what, as long as they make a good decision, they never consider other people's feelings.

But I still can't let go of him.His care for me these days is all true.I don't want to lose this friend just like that, even if I die, I will die clearly.

So I decided to go to him.

I took the money with me when I went out that day.I was stolen once, but this time my hand was always in my pocket, tightly holding the envelope full of money.

In previous conversations, I knew that he was studying at T University two streets away, and he seemed to be studying business administration, but apart from these, I don't know the details.

After checking the route in advance and doing enough homework, I mustered up the courage to go out.

For this reason, I deliberately asked my boss who didn't like me to take another day off.

When I was explaining to my boss, I knew he understood what I meant, but he still pretended not to understand, until I handed him the paper with the words "ask for leave" crookedly written in front of him. You really don't know how to flatter you," agreed with an expression.

I feel that if this continues, my job must be finished, but I can't help it. Compared with work and money, I think friends are much more important to me.

I never went to college. In fact, I only went to the 10th grade, which is the junior high school in country Z, and ended my study career. After my father's company went bankrupt at the age of 16, the word university was completely cut off from me.

Walking on the campus of T University, the people around me are all young people of the same age as me. I am envious of the confident expressions on their faces.

I found that people passing by would look at me more, no matter if they were boys or girls, whether they were teachers or students.

I know I have a good skin.A delicate oriental beauty face, a natural curly chestnut short hair, just looks a little unmanly.But as long as I am not standing with tall and handsome boys like Eric and Chen Jin, I am still very attractive.

Compared with those students who approached me generously, I did not have their confidence. It was not until I met a girl with excellent spoken English that I finally got up the courage to ask her: "Excuse me, do you know Chen Jin from the School of Business Administration? "

"Of course! I'm from the School of Business Administration, and Chen Jin is a celebrity in our school!"

I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and I was overjoyed: "Great!"

She stared at me blankly: "You..."

"What's wrong?" I casually raised my arms and wiped my face, thinking there was something dirty on my face.

She bit her lip, her face gradually turned red: "Why are your eyes so beautiful?"

I touched my right eye nonchalantly: "Really...well, can you please contact him for me, I have something to do with him..."

She came back to her senses and was too embarrassed to look at me: "Let's go, there is a basketball game today, and Chen Jin is the main force in our college's civil engineering."

On the way, she kept telling me how good Chen Jin was in his studies, and how he was killing everyone on the basketball court. My mood was also infected by her and I jumped up.

After walking for 10 minutes, we arrived at the gymnasium of T University.

She took me to the basketball hall, and I saw Chen Jin in the crowd at a glance.

He wasn't the tallest among those classmates who played basketball, but his slender figure and handsome face, which were beginning to show manliness, were the most outstanding.The eyes of the girls in the auditorium were almost all in the same direction. As he moved, the backs of the girls' heads also moved.

Before the game started, the basketball hall was already full of people.

The girl who brought me pulled me to the front row, then waved at Chen Jin: "Chen Jin! Someone is looking for you!"

I suddenly became nervous, my heart was beating non-stop, and the sound in my ears was louder than the sound of a basketball hitting the ground.

I saw Chen Jin turn his head. When he met my eyes, he seemed to frowned, but he didn't come over.

The girl next to me called him again: "Chen Jin!"

At this moment, a teacher-like person walked into the basketball court wearing the referee's clothes.

The girl next to me let out an "ah" and turned to me and said, "The competition is about to start, shall we look for him later?"

I nodded.She pulled me to find a remote place to sit down.

With my body shape, I was sent to play billiards and so on when I was in school. I never had anything to do with basketball, and no one even invited me to play rugby.

Out of inferiority complex, I tend to disdain basketball and rugby, but seeing Chen Jin running on the court, I can't hide my longing. I don't know when, I started to follow the people around me The students cheered together.

At the end, there was an illusion that I had played a hearty ball game, and my cheeks were flushed with excitement.

The girl took me to the front again, and simply dragged me to Chen Jin.

He is leaning on a basketball hoop to drink water.

Surrounded by chattering girls, he seemed to be unable to hear or see, staring at a certain position above the arena.

I was pulled into the crowd and stood in front of him.

"Respect."

Chen Jin's eyes finally lowered, and he looked at me with very different, very indifferent eyes.

I felt uncomfortable because of his cold eyes, and took out the crumpled envelope from my pocket.

I shyly pulled out a smile: "Jin, I'll return this to you."

He didn't answer, didn't even seem to care what it was, just asked me very coldly: "How did you find this place?"

I took a breath and said stammeringly, "I...I haven't been able to contact you...the part-time job...you haven't been there..."

"I don't work there anymore," he said.

Although I knew it a long time ago, I was still silent for a while, and couldn't help asking him: "Why?"

He said nonchalantly: "It was just for fun."

I lowered my head: "Jin, aren't we friends?"

Chen Jin didn't say anything, and turned around.

I reached out to pull him subconsciously, but he pushed my hand away and frowned.

He looked into my panicked eyes, and sighed after a while: "We are different, Shaw, don't you understand?"

I do not understand.

If I understood, I wouldn't come to him rashly.

He pursed the corners of his lips: "Shaw, don't you think it's ridiculous for two people with different social levels to talk about being friends?"

How... has it risen to the social level?

I looked at him puzzled.

He smiled helplessly, but with a hint of sarcasm: "Friends, I have countless friends. As long as I have money, what kind of friends do I not have? Shaw, I don't really care about helping you, but I don't like hypocrisy." people, do you understand?"

hypocritical?

Is he talking about me?

Chen Jin glanced at me coldly, turned and walked away.

I was still thinking about the meaning of his words, and when I came back to my senses, he was gone.

I heard the whispering voices of the people around me, even though I couldn't understand what they were saying, but looking at their contemptuous eyes, it seemed that I was some contemptible social scum.

But what did I do?

The girl who brought me looked at me with embarrassment: "You..."

I was also extremely embarrassed. I lowered my head and saw the envelope still in my hand.

I actually forgot about it again.

Sighing, I looked up at the girl in front of me.She should be a very kind girl, because what I see in her eyes is not contempt, but pity.

I handed the envelope in my hand to her: "Can you hand it to Jin for me?"

She nodded to me.

I smiled at her and turned to leave.

I still can't understand what Chen Jin, who seems to have become a stranger overnight, is thinking, and I don't know what big mistake I made that would make him despise me.

I really want to consider him a friend.

what a pity.

While thinking this way, my mood is definitely not as relaxed as just saying "it's a pity".
