The Lone Walker

"Why don't you care about me? Why do you always leave me alone? Why don't you talk to me even on Sundays?" Chen Fan was silent after hearing these words.

How he wanted to say, "Xiao Rou, don't leave. Please give me another chance."

But when the words came to my lips,

“Is he nice to you?”

"That's my business, don't worry about it."

The female voice on the other end of the line broke his heart.

"Chen Fan, I'm tired. This time, I want to let you go."

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Chen Fan really didn't know how to reply to her. How could he let go of four years of relationship so easily?

"Then, then I wish you happiness, Xiaorou."

"Well, Chen Fan, take care of yourself. If you meet the right girl, stay with her."

"Yeah, I know. Bye."

Chen Fan replied pretending to be calm.

Beep, beep, beep. The busy tone on the other end of the phone made him feel very confused.

At the moment of hanging up the phone, Chen Fan thought of the time when he pursued her, that innocent smile. Since the moment he saw her, Chen Fan's heart was firmly tied to him. Her behavior, voice, and smile made him feel very comfortable. Although there are many women who are more attractive than her, Chen Fan knows that she is the kind of woman you are willing to spend your life with.

I made a cup of coffee and savored it carefully. Suddenly, I felt that the world was so strange and so cold.

"You are my little girl, my little apple, and I can never love you enough."

The phone rang again, and Chen Fan looked at the display. It was Mom.

Chen Fan picked up the phone, "Hey, Fan'er, have you eaten yet?"

My mother's kind voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, Mom, I ate it," Chen Fan replied.

"Oh, are you short of money again?"

"No, Mom, I recently found a part-time job that's pretty good, and the boss is very nice to me."

"Well, that's good. Don't treat yourself badly when you study abroad. Eat what you need and drink what you need. Although our family is not rich, we only have one son, so we can afford to support you."

"Well, Mom, I know you're not in good health, don't overwork yourself,"

"Well, then, come back early after your holiday,"

"Yes, Mom, I know. Please take care of yourself. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, I felt that there were still people in this world who needed me and cared about me.

Chen Fan, a sophomore at a third-rate university in SX Province, is 22 years old this year. He is a complete loser, has no hobbies, and likes to stay alone quietly.

……

Putting on his coat, Chen Fan walked alone in the playground. To be honest, the playground felt particularly quiet today. He usually wouldn't come here alone. I don't know what happened today. Oh, thinking about the past, I really don't know where to go.

There is nothing outstanding about Chen Fan's life. He has never won any awards since he was a child. Even getting into a third-rate university was a matter of luck. It's really sad to say it. The only thing I can be proud of is that I have maintained a love relationship with my girlfriend for four years.

He had originally planned to serve in the army for two years after graduation, be assigned a job when he came back, and then get married. Unfortunately, reality gave him a loud slap in the face, and his resentment and anger eventually turned into a sigh.

As the saying goes, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of love, let alone their four years of relationship. They walked out of the playground, headed towards the school gate, hurriedly bought a fast food meal and prepared to return to the dormitory.

When I returned to the dormitory, I found that my friends were all back and busy with their own things. I greeted them and sat at my table to eat.

"Hey, fourth brother, what's wrong? I feel like you're not in good shape today," asked the second brother Zhang Teng.

"Oh, nothing, I just broke up with my girlfriend," Chen Fan said with a wry smile.

"Oh, big news. I'm not the only single one in the dormitory now, hahaha," laughed Wang Tao, the fifth brother.

"How are you? Are you okay? Don't do anything stupid," the boss Dai Jianfei asked with concern.

Chen Fan said calmly, "It's okay, Boss, don't worry, I walked through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single leaf on me."

The third brother, Long Fei, and the sixth brother, Long Zhan, are brothers. They don't talk much, but they have a very good relationship.

The night gradually covered the sky. Chen Fan lay on the bed thinking about his future. Everyone knew that students from third-rate universities would work hard for the rest of their lives after graduation. Without a good school to graduate from, your life would be set in stone.

Fortunately, the county where their family lived was a poor county, and the country had a regulation that the government would be responsible for arranging jobs for college students after they retired from the army. Chen Fan had only this opportunity, otherwise he didn't know what he could do.

Well, at least I don't have to work hard, I have a stable job, I can marry a woman who is neither pretty nor ugly, and I can live an ordinary life like this. That's pretty good.

Soon he began to snore, in his dream...

Chen Fan looked at the costumed people coming and going, thinking that this didn't look like a movie, with so many extras. Suddenly, there was a commotion not far ahead, and when he looked closely, he saw a group of thugs beating up two people at the entrance of a casino.

Chen Fan thought that this group of people were really dedicated and looked like the real thing. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw one of the slovenly men running towards him quickly.

"Brother, it really is you. I am Cheng Shifei. Please lend me some money to help me. I am about to be beaten to death."

Cheng Shifei said quickly. As he spoke, blood spurted out of his mouth. He fainted.

At this time, a group of thugs surrounded him. The leader, a scarred man, looked Chen Fan up and down, bowed and said.

"Sir, do you know this rascal? He owes us a lot of money. Since you are his brother, will you pay him back for the money he owes us?

Chen Fan looked at the group of thugs in front of him and wondered why he was included in it. Where is the director? Why didn’t he shout “cut”?

……

Since there is no one, I will just improvise. If I have this talent, I may become a famous actor in the future.

"Big brother, I wonder how much money my brother owes you. Chen Fan said seriously."

"Two hundred taels including principal and interest," said the thug.

"Then I wonder if I can use something as collateral?" Chen Fan continued to ask.

"Of course you can, but we brothers do this for money. If the goods are bad, don't blame us for being ruthless." Scarface said to Chen Fan viciously.

Chen Fan took off the mechanical watch from his hand calmly and handed it to Scarface.

"This is a timekeeping device I brought back from overseas. It is well-made," Chen Fan said and then taught him how to use it.

……

After a long while, the man with the scar on his face said: This thing is priceless, far more than the value of two hundred taels. In this case, then...

Suddenly a cold wind blew, and Chen Fan woke up. It turned out to be a dream. It was just dawn, and today was Saturday. Several people in the dormitory were still dreaming, and poor Chen Fan had to go to work part-time.
