Ascendant

Chapter 8

Yan Xing was overwhelmed by the mountain of work.He had just studied in the company for a week, and immediately felt his father's anxiety to retire.Although the most important things still have to be seen and signed by Xing's father's house, he often has to work overtime with the team until eleven or twelve o'clock.

The good news is that no matter how late it is, Dongsheng will wait for his call.It's just that after hanging up the phone, Yan Xing couldn't help thinking that it would be great if that person was really by his pillow.Maybe this is the mood of being in love, wishing to stay together forever, always thinking that forever.

Driving out early in the morning, Yan Xing habitually checked the rearview mirror. Fortunately, he had this habit, otherwise he would not have noticed the person who suddenly appeared and quietly huddled in the corner of the gate.He immediately turned off the engine and stopped, and rushed out of the car.

The young man was wearing a thick down jacket, and his hat and scarf were tightly wrapped.Yan Xing gradually approached, but the huddled man didn't notice it, he must have fallen asleep.He couldn't bear to wake him up, and was afraid of catching cold, so he squatted down, gently pulled off the hat that covered most of his face, and whispered, "Dongsheng?"

Dongsheng's face was pale, the shadows under his eyes were obvious, and he lost weight again.Busy with work, the two of them always hung up the phone after a quick chat before going to bed, and he didn't even notice the other party's absent-minded perfunctory.

The awakened Dong Sheng looked at Yan Xing pitifully like a cute pet abandoned by his master.That damned bitter look in his eyes made his heart melt.

Yan Xing didn't care too much, picked him up by the waist, and stuffed him into the car.

He turned on the heater to the maximum, rubbed his ice-like hands almost roughly, and pressed them in his arms.When the stiff body in his arms finally stopped trembling, he asked a little angrily, "Why don't you say anything when you're here? Who's to blame if you're frozen?"

"I'm sorry..." Dong Sheng lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

"It's you who's sorry!" Yan Xing was both angry and strange, "Did something happen?"

Dongsheng turned his head and looked at him for a while, he hesitated for a while, but didn't say a word.

Yan Xing sighed, "Haven't you eaten yet?"

Dongsheng nodded.

Yan Xing turned sideways to help the person fasten his seat belt, and then asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"hot……"

The anger that had just subsided suddenly rushed up again. I don't know how long this lifeless guy has been waiting at the door. Yan Xing stepped on the accelerator and asked fiercely: "When did you arrive at my house?"

"After two o'clock..."

Yan Xing couldn't help shouting: "Why didn't you call me?"

"I... afraid to disturb your sleep."

Why are you so stupid? "Then why don't you find a hotel?"

"I……"

"talk!"

"I have no money……"

Dong Sheng's voice was a little trembling, Yan Xing glanced at the pitiful man huddled on the co-pilot, and didn't ask any more questions.He called his assistant to buy chicken soup dumplings, wontons, porridge with sliced ​​meat, and fried dumplings, and delivered them directly to the office.

After Dongsheng had eaten and drank enough, and his face turned a little bloody, Yan Xing rubbed him into his arms again, ready to break the casserole and ask the end.

Dongsheng suddenly opened his mouth: "I want to borrow money."

"What?" Did you hear me right?

"I want to borrow some money from you."

Yan Xing turned his head, still couldn't see Dong Sheng's face clearly, but could feel embarrassment and embarrassment with a strong sense of presence.He asked suspiciously, "Why?"

"Song Feng needs money."

Yan Xing's eyes widened, "You took a nine-hour train and waited at my door all night just for Song Feng? You little boy?"

Dong Sheng raised his head, looked at him timidly, and then nodded.

What Yan Xing didn't expect was that Song Feng was so important in Dongsheng's heart.He didn't know what to say, what Dongsheng did for Song Feng made him angry, even jealous.The person he missed so much came all the way, not because of the same miss, but because of another man.

Seeing that he was silent, Dong Sheng said with a pleading tone, "Xiaofeng hurt someone, and that person was seriously injured. He needed a lot of money to treat the illness. People go to their house to make trouble every day, and maybe they will make trouble at school. Seriously. If so, he might be expelled... Yan Xing...Brother Xing, can you help him? His family has no money, and his uncle always gambles, has no savings at all, and owes usury..."

Yan Xing looked coldly at the person he liked trying to make a man intercede, feeling uncomfortable, "Song Feng is an adult, he should know how to be responsible for his actions, instead of letting you come to me for a loan."

Dong Sheng quickly waved his hands, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's my intention to borrow money from you, and it has nothing to do with him."

"Oh?" Are you still speaking for that surnamed Song?Yan Xing pushed away the person in his arms, stood up, condescending.

"Brother Xing..." Dong Sheng's eyes were already red, and even the tip of his nose was red, as if he lowered his posture and begged.

Yan Xing didn't want to help that Song at all. All this was entirely Song Feng's own fault, and had nothing to do with him, and it had nothing to do with Dongsheng either.But Dong Sheng came to the door so earnestly and desperately, he couldn't refuse at all.

"Why did you come out without any money?" Yan Xing suddenly realized the problem.

"I..." Dong Sheng lowered his head.

"Say!"

Dong Sheng bit his lower lip, and confessed frankly: "I also participated in the fight that day. My mother was afraid that I would go to the bar again, so she wouldn't give me money...I ran out by myself."

Yan Xing gritted his teeth and patiently listened to the words.Although the Fang Dongsheng he knew was full of vigor, he was by no means a troublemaker.Only then did he understand why the other party was so abnormal these days.He looked up and down the person in front of him and asked, "Are you injured?"

"No……"

"How much to borrow?"

"..." Dong Sheng hung his head guiltily, and it took another long time before he spoke, "30."

Yan Xing stared at him, and said lightly: "I'll call you now, but you have to agree to one condition."

"Okay." Dongsheng immediately agreed.

"Don't rush to agree, just listen to me. I can lend you money, but you are not allowed to hang out with that bastard surnamed Song in the future." Yan Xing is worried, Song Feng is a trouble at all, Dongsheng this time It's nothing serious, there's no guarantee that nothing will happen in the future,

"What?" Dongsheng looked at him incredulously, "He is my best friend."

Yan Xing raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Since you are so reluctant to part with him, I can't lend you money."

Dongsheng stood up, looked at him in bewilderment, and said with great determination: "Okay, I promise you."

Yan Xing saw the man with a bitter face again, and wanted to take a step forward, hug him in his arms and comfort him.

Dong Sheng took a step back subconsciously, and said, "Thank you then, I will pay you back by working part-time. If there is nothing else... I, I will go back first."

Yan Xing was in a hurry, stepped forward to grab the person who had turned his head and walked out, and shouted: "Fang Dongsheng! You are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Dong Sheng whispered: "My mother will be anxious when I go home."

"How do you go home in this state? Besides, do you have money?"

"I still have a hundred, that's enough."

Yan Xing was about to explode with rage, he almost heard the sound of his nerves snapping.He tightly grasped Dongsheng's wrist, gritted his teeth and said, "Be obedient to me now. Don't forget, I am your creditor!"

Dongsheng turned his head to look at him. There were anger, grievance, and stubbornness in Yuanyuan's big eyes, but he didn't give in.

Yan Xing suppressed the anger in his heart, and softened his tone, "You should take a break, look at you, haven't you slept well recently?"

Dongsheng still looked at him, stubbornly remaining silent.

"I'll take you to the hotel, you can sleep first, okay?"

Dongsheng didn't resist any more, and let him silently send him to the hotel.He was planning to stay with him at the hotel, but the company called.

After Yan Xing was called away by a phone call, Dong Sheng went to the train station and bought a 100-yuan train ticket with only 90 yuan.In Yan Xing's office, the money has already been transferred to his tuition card.Yan Xing never slipped his words when he promised him.

Not long after getting on the train, a text message from Yan Xing came: "The company is quite busy, you can eat directly at the hotel, I will go to you at night, wait for me, don't run around."

Dongsheng didn't reply, because of that condition, his heart was chilled.Song Feng is his best friend, they grew up together, had laughter and tears together, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are brothers.So Song Feng had such a big incident, how could he not care about it?Does Yan Xing have no friends?

As he thought about it, he couldn't help feeling wronged.Everyone could not understand him, even his parents, but Yan Xing's incomprehension made him extremely troubled and sad.

Riding back and forth in the car all night without sleep, the exhaustion of the body cannot lie to others.Dong Sheng huddled in the crowded seat and fell asleep.

Dong Ma called for a long time, and after getting out of the car, Dong Sheng dared to answer, saying that she would go home immediately.Dong Ma just sighed, but didn't blame her.Yan Xing also made many phone calls, but he never answered.

Early the next morning, Dongsheng went to the bank to withdraw the money.After putting them in bundles one by one, he realized that the 30 cash was so heavy.He secretly gave the money to Hongyuan's mother, did not dare to meet with Faxiao, promised Yan Xing's things, and kept his word.

Before going to bed every day, Yan Xing would still call stubbornly, but Dong Sheng didn't answer.He was a little angry, more timid.Yan Xing must have thought he was a bastard who ran away with money.

On New Year's Eve, the fireworks were dazzling and the firecrackers were everywhere, Yan Xing never called him again.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Dongsheng received a text message from Yan Xing: "Let's break up."

The mobile phone "slapped" and fell to the ground. Fortunately, Nokia's is resistant to falling.Dongsheng picked up the phone, replied with the word "yes", thought for a while, and added another sentence - "I will pay back the money".

In the first week after school started, Dongsheng followed the club's rules and went to the arena to practice on time on the [-]th and [-]th, but Yan Xing didn't show up again.If a person is not deliberate, there will be no unexpected encounters on a small campus.

Cao Wei asked Dong Sheng: "Why are you so frugal recently?"

Dongsheng couldn't cheer up, "Is there any?"

"And Yan Xing didn't come to look for you, what's the matter with you?"

"broke up."

Cao Wei opened his mouth into an "O", "Huh? You won't tell me about such a big thing?"

So what if I tell you?He and Yan Xing didn't have any serious relationship, so the two big men couldn't help but hide it.Dong Sheng said, "I don't know now."

Cao Wei looked at him, "Are you okay?"

Dong Sheng forcefully forced a smile, "It's okay, your brother Dong is fine!"

Cao Wei: "...Brother, you cat!"

The family will pay 30 yuan for living expenses on time every month, and Dongsheng only uses [-], saving [-].After the illusion of meeting Yan Xing in the arena was disillusioned, he found a job as a food delivery in the living area, which also earned [-] yuan.In this way, he can save at least two thousand five thousand a month. Although it is pitifully small compared with the huge sum of three hundred thousand, it is still much better than not having any money owed.

Cao Wei couldn't see him like this, and said that if he had any difficulties, he could ask Zhang Chengduan for help.He didn't tell Cao Wei about the 30 yuan, it was too embarrassing from the beginning to the end.

The food delivery job is actually pretty good, the boss is very kind, and he also provides lunch and dinner for free.It's just that sometimes it's windy and rainy, and it's inevitable to get drenched, and his demeanor has nothing to do with him.

No, it started to rain again, and the weather forecast said it would be cloudy.

Dong Sheng rode a small eDonkey past the dormitory of the School of Economics, and saw Yan Xing surrounded by a group of campus figures from a distance, talking and laughing happily.Such a dazzling group of people roared past, they were the focus everywhere, and he couldn't even think about it.

Dong Sheng felt a dull pain in his heart. What was sad was not the separation, but the sudden understanding: If Yan Xing was unwilling, he had no qualifications at all and had no chance to stand by that person's side.

It was raining hard, and the hair was hanging on the forehead, and there was no hairstyle to speak of.Dong Sheng hid in the corner, afraid that Yan Xing would see him in a mess.

For some reason, the more anxious he was, the slower those people walked.When he was finally able to deliver the big and small bags of bento, the people who ordered the food would inevitably complain and scold him.He can only apologize repeatedly, anyway, it is already a matter of habit.

At the end of the day, Dongsheng was always so tired that his back hurt.After hastily washing his hands, he collapsed on the bed, thinking about it, he felt that the 30 debt between him and Yan Xing was not a bad thing.At least, he could use the excuse of paying back the money to meet that person from time to time.
