Stand-in self-cultivation

It has been a week since he returned to City B from other places, and Jia Ran became a busy top, leaving early and returning late every day, and finally completed the task assigned to him by Ma Qiming at the last moment.With the start of school coming soon, he hesitated and offered to resign. He needed a period of time to digest the knowledge he had learned and complete the social practice report.

After stamping the official seal of the unit, Jia Ran let out a long sigh of relief.In addition to the salary that the intern should be paid, there is also an additional amount of money that Ma Qiming gave him in his own name, no more, no less, just what he deserves.After walking out of this building located in the center of the city, he looked up at this splendid and tall building, feeling a little hopeful in his heart, he still wanted to come back here.

If given the chance.

Putting aside his annoying thoughts, he first called Jia Meng to make an appointment to meet, and then rushed back to his rented room.After not going home for many days, when I opened the door, a damp and musty smell came over my face.Jia Ran dragged the suitcase into the house without changing his expression, tidied up briefly, and was wiping the dusty furniture with a rag when the door rang.

Subconsciously, he thought it was the landlord, and went to open the door in a disheveled manner with a rag, but pursed his lips when he saw the person at the door.

"Can I go in?"

The two stood still.

With a rattle, the opposite door suddenly opened. The old lady was taken aback by the person blocking the door. She looked at the person from the beginning to the end. She frowned so much that it was almost enough to kill a fly. She saw that she had an open mouth. With no intention, Jia Ran sighed silently, and let someone walk in.

"How do you know this place?" Jia Ran bent down and took a bottle of drink from the box in the corner and put it on the table, and asked.

"Thank you." Li Pingping sat on the chair and whispered something, then unscrewed the soda and took several sips, obviously extremely thirsty.Putting the empty bottle on the table, he touched his mouth, hiccupped accidentally, his face was a little red, "I... someone else told me."

Despite wearing a thick foundation, Jia Ran can still see his blue eye bags when he gets close, and his nostrils are filled with the pungent smell of inferior perfume. He is used to Ma Qiming's various perfumes, and he can still tell the good from the bad. .

Li Pingping came to borrow money, Jia Ran thought calmly.

"If you just come to drink water, then go away after drinking, I have to clean up."

Li Pingping hurriedly stood up, "Jia Ran, something happened to me, something really happened..." he said.

"I broke up with Lao Yu. I stopped paying my rent last month, and the car was taken back. I am completely free now!" Seeing that Jia Ran didn't respond, Li Pingping said excitedly.

"Oh." He responded coldly, took two steps quickly, picked up the mobile phone on the table, called up the transfer page and held the screen in front of Li Pingping's eyes, "Look clearly, I just paid back the money I owed Han Che. If You are here to borrow money, you can give up."

Li Pingping bit his lower lip and looked away from his phone, "Aren't you working in Ma Qiming's company? He can't just give you this little bit, I beg you, I only need two thousand, I need to rent a house Make it through this month..."

It is true that he still has a balance on hand, but no matter what, he can no longer lend him the money. Seeing Li Pingping's depression, Jia Ran even thought that he was taking drugs.

"Do you know, I have come here to look for you every day this week, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and this time I finally found you..." Li Pingping looked gloomy, staring at a certain place in the living room, following his gaze, Jia Ran saw his suitcase, to be precise, it was the suitcase that Ma Qiming found for him temporarily. "Rimowa's, just over 1 yuan, Ma Qiming is really generous to you."

so expensive? !

"Lend me two thousand, just two thousand, I promise this is really the last time." Li Pingping looked at Jia Ran pleadingly and said.

Jia Ran rubbed his nose, turned around and started cleaning, silently rejecting him.

"...You don't want to borrow it?"

Jia Ran was indifferently busy with his own work, as if he didn't hear anything.

Li Pingping held the corner of his clothes and trembled his lips: "Then can you let me live with you, just for a month."

"Have you finished?" The young man dropped the rag in his hand suddenly, his temples twitched, "I've already paid you back what was due to you, we've settled it!"

"The two are cleared?" Li Pingping seemed to have heard some big joke, he smiled ironically, raised his head and looked directly into Jia Ran's angry eyes, "I introduced Ma Qiming to you, how do you pay back this? Jia Of course, don't force me."

"What are you forcing?" Jia Ran asked coldly.

"I heard that your final grades are good. If I... If I post to the school that you dropped out of high school and didn't even take the college entrance examination, what kind of uproar will it cause?"

His heart constricted suddenly, his throat seemed to be pinched and he couldn't breathe. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Jia Ran couldn't say a word.How did he forget about this? !He didn't go to school normally at all!At the beginning, Ma Qiming thought of a way to force him in, and the method was provided by Lao Yu!

"You're my best friend now, and I don't want to be like this... Only live for one month, I swear, I'll leave after one month, I'm going to take my mother to live in another city, I'll find a job to see Follow her, don't let her go out to gamble..."

"I'm going to say no."

The world around them seemed to freeze, and neither of them spoke.

"Only one month." After all, he was still defeated... Jia Ran wiped his face exhaustedly, but when he put down his hand, he saw the dirty ashes in his palm. His appearance must be very funny, but it's a pity that now No one can laugh.

Li Pingping stood up from the chair, looked at Jia Ran in a daze, his lips were murmuring but he couldn't say a word.

Money can no longer be given. For people like Li Pingping, a little bit of hope will become a life-saving straw. If you grasp it, you will never let it go. If you don’t get it, you will do everything possible to destroy it.If he didn't care so much before, maybe this wouldn't be his excuse to blackmail him.I am still too stupid to underestimate a person's minimum moral bottom line.Jia Ran thought distractedly, dragged his suitcase straight into the bedroom, and slammed the door.

If Ma Qiming were to deal with this matter, he would definitely not be so procrastinating like himself.

In the living room separated by a wall, Li Pingping sat on a chair, tilting his head cautiously to look at the wall watch hanging on the wall. Ten minutes later, Jia Ran came out of his room, still holding the lock in his hand, and locked the bedroom door.

As expected, Jia Ran still agreed with him to stay, and the living room is a hundred times better than being homeless.Li Pingping thanked him, and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the other party.

Without looking back, the young man threw the spare key that was originally prepared for Jia Meng to him, and said in a flat tone, "Pingping, don't threaten anymore, if you take it seriously...you consider me your friend."

"..."

It wasn't until Jia Ran left that those three words were spit out by the guilty person.

To his face, he couldn't do it.

Li Pingping lifted his sleeves, stared blankly at the ugly welt marks on his arms, his eyes were sore.Not only here, but also on the back, chest, thighs, and even that shameful place, there are these extremely disgusting marks.He clutched his chest in pain.

I couldn't stay at home any longer, so Jia Ran went straight to the hospital carrying the gifts brought back from other provinces.

"Brother, why are you here?" As soon as he reached the door, he heard Jia Meng's exclamation.The nurse didn't have a good face when she saw him, so she let him in and left with her things in her arms.Jia Meng knew how difficult it was to serve him. If Ma Qiming hadn't helped him, he would have collapsed by now.Jia Ran secretly sighed, he had done a lot of psychological construction all the way, it can be seen that he was still a little nervous when he saw Jia Meng.Coming out of the disinfection room, Jia Ran said, "It's been a long time since I saw you, I thought I'd come and see you first."

"Brother, I miss you so much." Jia Meng said, flexibly rolled up from the bed and hugged Jia Ran's waist, "You didn't eat well, you lost weight!"

Jia Ran had a sore nose. After all, he was related by blood. Even if it made him afraid, Jia Meng was the only one who really cared about him.He turned his head and reached out to touch Jia Meng's hair, but the touch of his fingertips made him stiff. His sister's hair was about to fall out, and now she was wearing a wig.

"Brother, will it be obvious?" Jia Meng asked sullenly.

Jia then took a step back and pressed Jia Meng's shoulder to look at her carefully. After a while, he shook his head, "No, it's not obvious, you are very cute."

Jia Meng grinned and showed a bright smile, Jia Ran's hanging heart was finally put back in his stomach, and his sister looked normal.He let go of the girl, shook the contents of the bag on the ground, and took them one by one into the disinfection room for disinfection.Jia Meng sat on the edge of the bed shaking her feet and looked curiously at the messy gadgets on the ground. Her eyes drifted to Jia Ran's busy back, "Brother, are you going to work for President Ma? Is it fun?"

Jia Ran straightened up, thought for a while and said, "It's not bad, I learned a lot."

"He's a good man, you invited him to dinner for me, right?"

Jia Ran raised her eyebrows and nodded, looking at Jia Meng's expression, she could tell what the little girl was thinking, and she couldn't help but smile: "I've invited you once—he's the president, so I don't have any free time to share with me, one invitation is enough, He doesn't care about that."

"Oh..." Jia Meng dragged his voice, his eyes rolled around, and suddenly changed the topic, "Brother, school is about to start, and the summer vacation will be for two months, right?"

Jia Ran hummed nonchalantly, and finally sterilized all these souvenirs.He held these gadgets and placed them on Jia Meng's bedside one by one, and asked casually, "What's the matter."

"How is grandma's house? Have you visited it?" Jia Meng asked.

The young man paused, and then he put the things in his hands away as if nothing had happened, and said slowly: "...Very well, it's still the same as when you left."

Jia Meng sat on the bed with her legs wrapped around her knees and asked, "When did you go there last time?"

When did you go?Jia Ran's cold sweat was about to break down.He had just signed a maintenance contract with Ma Qiming half a year ago, and almost without any hope, he asked the man to solve the difficult matter of demolition of the old house for him.However, to his surprise, not long after that, the project that was sure to be dismantled was suddenly put on hold.

After that, he ran a few times, and he didn't go back after hearing that the neighbors said that it would not be demolished.Not to mention that after getting busy, the only time he had was used to work and study, and he had long forgotten about it.But after Jia Meng suddenly mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but think of her crazy appearance when she heard that the old house was going to be demolished and she was about to sign the agreement, and couldn't help being afraid.

The meaning of this house to Jia Meng is much stronger than his own. "Before the holiday." He lied subconsciously.

Jia Meng didn't suspect him, and reached out to take a small model to play with, "When I recover from illness, I still want to go home and live."

"Of course." Jia Ran forced a smile, exhaled and turned around, "The matter of the house has been settled, don't worry. If you're really worried, I'll go and have a look in a few days..."

"Hey! Teacher Zhang, are you here?!"

Jia Ran was taken aback, he turned to look at the woman standing at the door, a little confused, who is this person?

"You are Jia Ran, right?" The woman nodded at him with a smile, and walked skillfully into the disinfection room.

"Who is she?" Jia Ran frowned and asked.

Jia Meng glanced at him inexplicably, "Zhang Yun, the teacher Mr. Ma found for me, who helped me with my homework, didn't he tell you?"

It happened that Zhang Yun came out of the disinfection room at this time, and the two looked at each other. Zhang Yun looked away calmly, and Jia Ran suddenly remembered something.

"Mengmeng, read the book first, I'll go out and talk to your brother." Zhang Yun smiled.
