Ning Zhenzhen's hand holding the knife trembled slightly. He concentrated his energy and clenched the knife tightly, his palms sweating a little.

The fat man was standing an inch away from the tip of the knife, as if he would be stabbed in the chest by the knife if he took a deep breath, he smiled maliciously: "Say, what do you pay for it?"

"I said I would pay it back, give me some more time."

The fat man carefully admired Ning Zhenzhen's face. His fair skin looked smooth and tender, and his slightly pouty red lips were so alluring. He salivated and couldn't help reaching out to touch his face. face, but almost cut his hand with a knife.

The fat man snorted and cursed in a low voice, "I don't know what's good."

The thin man said coldly: "I'll give you another ten days, if you don't see the money, you know what we will do."

After the three left, Ning's mother held Ning Zhenzhen's hand tightly and cried, she described herself as a bullied image, as if she was not the one who caused the current situation.

"What are you doing with 30 yuan?" Ning Zhenzhen pulled out her hand and sat across from her.

Mother Ning lowered her head and gently wiped the tears from her face with her hands. She opened her mouth several times, but she didn't make a sound.

"If you don't tell me, I won't help you pay it back." Ning Zhenzhen was really at a loss this time, how could he get 50 in ten days.

"I, I..." Ning's mother secretly glanced at Ning Zhenzhen's face, then quickly lowered her head, "Sister Wang told me that someone opened a new store on this street outside the community. Good luck If so, I can double my income in one day, I was very careful, the first time I only took 3 yuan to try my luck, and I made [-] yuan, and then..."

Ning Zhenzhen didn't have the strength to get angry anymore, and he didn't even have the thought of being disappointed. Gambling is something like gambling, can't you quit it once you touch it?After deceiving himself, he asked calmly, "Mom, can you stop gambling? I really don't want to."

Ning's mother understood the meaning of Ning Zhenzhen's words, and promised again and again: "I will definitely not gamble in the future, really, you can help mom for the last time, it is really the last time."

Ning Zhenzhen stood up, walked in front of Ning's mother, bent down and hugged her tightly, the familiar smell on her body instantly brought Ning Zhenzhen back to his childhood, and softened the hardness in his heart.When she was young, like all mothers in the world, she would take herself to the playground and hug herself and laugh.What made them become what they are now, there is nothing to say except money.

"I'll help you pay it back, but remember, this is really the last time." After Ning Zhenzhen said this, she let go of her mother, turned around and was about to leave.

Ning's mother wanted to hold his hand, but in the end she only grabbed a ball of air. She stood up abruptly and shouted towards the door: "Really, Mom is wrong."

Ning Zhenzhen paused as he left, he didn't look back, but closed the door smoothly.

Zhang Zhu waited at home until after six o'clock but did not get a call or a text message from Ning Zhenzhen. Watching the aroma of the steaming bone soup gradually dissipate, his stomach had already groaned twice.

More than ten minutes later, when Zhang Zhu couldn't help but stick his chopsticks into the fried eggplant, Ning Zhenzhen knocked on the door.

"I didn't bring the key." Zhang Zhu couldn't help complaining, but he still walked over quickly and opened the door for him.

Ning Zhenzhen smiled and gave Zhang Zhu a big hug, and asked, "Zhuzhu, are you waiting for me to eat?"

Zhang Zhu pouted, "If you don't come back, I'll eat it myself."

Ning Zhenzhen took out a can of beer, a can of Coke and a box of lo-mei from the plastic bag, and Zhang Zhu asked curiously, "Are you rich?"

"It's not that my mother didn't owe me any other debts. Let's celebrate."

With a sound of "stab", the beer and Coke were opened at the same time, and Ning Zhenzhen drank the Coke in one gulp without waiting to clink the glasses.

Zhang Zhu frowned: "You don't look like you're celebrating?"

Ning Zhenzhen pulled the corners of her lips and smiled against her will, "It's really a celebration. I'm celebrating that I'm debt-free now, and my flower shop is about to open again. Let's not talk about it. This dish is cold, so hurry up and warm it up." One heat."

Zhang Zhu looked and looked suspiciously, and was pushed by Ning Zhenzhen three times before entering the kitchen with the dishes.

Ning Zhenzhen ate three bowls of rice tonight. After eating, her stomach was full and swollen. She lay on Zhang Zhu's back and said coquettishly, "Zhuzhu, can you give me a massage?"

"Dreaming, I've been doing hygiene at home all day, and I just want someone to give me a massage."

"I'm too stuffed, let's go out for a walk."

Zhang Zhu and Ning Zhenzhen went for a walk in the nearby park first, and then went to the rooftop on the top floor. They sat back to back on the ground, looking at the sky and counting the stars together.

"Piggy, I have two stars here."

"Hey, I have three here."

The two of them are like the children who have more candies than anyone else in the kindergarten. Ning Zhenzhen opened her eyes wide unwillingly and scanned the dark sky carefully, and found a faint star above the tall buildings in the distance The shining star said excitedly: "I found another one, and I have three too."

Zhang Zhu snorted coldly: "You are not naive." But 3 minutes later, Zhang Zhu danced and said, "I also found one, a full four, more than you."

Ning Zhenzhen elbowed him, and said very speechlessly: "Who the hell is naive?"

A dark cloud floated from a distance, and when it reached this sky, it stopped and completely covered the darkest star in the sky.Ning Zhenzhen suddenly felt his eyes sore. He remembered that when he was a child, his father held him to watch the night sky together, telling him that after death he would turn into a star in the sky and continue to love people on the ground.

Dad, what should I do?Tears accumulated in the corners of Ning Zhenzhen's eyes, and with his shallow breathing, they swirled in his eye sockets.

"Piggy, sometimes I really envy you."

"I have nothing to envy. I should envy you. I have been a rich young master in my life, and you still look so good-looking."

Ning Zhenzhen laughed at herself: "Yeah, I seem to be quite lucky."

Zhang Zhu turned sideways suddenly, stretched his neck, leaned into Ning Zhenzhen's ear and asked, "Do you know why I took you in in the first place?"

Ning Zhenzhen shook his head, and asked back: "Do you think I'm good-looking and homeless, so you pity me?"

"Nonono, am I such a superficial person?" Zhang Zhu looked at the skyscrapers in the distance and said flatly, "Actually, we have met before that."

Ning Zhenzhen was shocked, sat up straight, grabbed his hand and asked, "When? Why did you tell me after so many years?"

Zhang Zhu slowly told the story ten years ago, a story that happened in a hot summer day.At that time, Zhang Zhu was being chased by his creditors, so he had to work in bars at night and do odd jobs during the day.At that time he was still a very young lad, quick in his hands and feet, and full of energy.He found a job moving bricks, and he could earn 200 yuan in one afternoon, and sometimes he could even do the work of two people.When Zhang Zhu was pushing a cart of bricks, he didn't notice the gravel on the ground. He pushed too hard, and the cart turned over, leaving him covered in dust.At that time, the high school next door was over, and several high school students came out, pointing at Zhang Zhu and laughing up and down, Zhang Zhu glared at them several times, and they laughed wildly.

"I noticed you at that time. You were the only one in the group who didn't laugh at me." Zhang Zhu looked at Ning Zhenzhen's watery eyes and said seriously.

Ning Zhenzhen only remembered a few images of that ordinary summer day, one was the scattered bricks and the overturned cart, and the other was the man's chapped lips.He wiped his face and said with a wry smile: "If I had known that you would be the only friend in my life at that time, I would have given you the mineral water in the bag."

Zhang Zhu snorted disdainfully, but his tone was full of unconcealable joy.

Ning Zhenzhen asked curiously: "Then what happened afterwards? What was your mood when you saw me again in the warehouse of the supermarket?"

Zhang Zhu chuckled: "It must have been shocking at first glance, but when I think of the poor family being reduced to moving things with me, how should I put it, I'm quite gloating."

Ning Zhenzhen couldn't help but bumped him with the shoulder, and continued to ask: "So you didn't hate me then?"

"Why should I hate you?"

"Because I watched them laugh at you and stood by."

Zhang Zhu hugged Ning Zhenzhen, pointed to the darkest and darkest star in the sky, and said: "I am just an ordinary person, and I don't expect my friend to be a saint who can guide everyone to the light and save all living beings. I hope he is a star, enough to illuminate me."

"Zhang Zhu..." Ning Zhenzhen couldn't help turning his head slightly, he didn't want Zhang Zhu to see his red eyes.

"So, if you encounter anything, please tell me? I also want to be a star that can illuminate you."

Tears fell from the end of Ning Zhenzhen's eyes, and a long line of water dripped on his face. He pretended to be calm and asked: "If one day, I did something very bad, would you Will you continue to treat me as a friend?"

"I trust you would not do such a thing."

Ning Zhenzhen pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile, and hugged Zhang Zhu tightly, "Zizhu, you will always be my best friend." No matter whether you still want to regard me as your friend in the future.Ning Zhen really likes the life now, and relies on his own hard work to support himself, but life always presents him with problems, he can’t be hard-hearted and let his mother die by herself, so... I’m sorry, Zhuzhu, I’m really sorry It's going to disappoint you.

The next day Ning Zhenzhen went to work in the clubhouse, and he found the manager.After hearing what he said, the manager beamed with joy, patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "Just do it if you want to, just do it if you want to do it, don't worry, the guests who come to us are all rich people. , you just wait for a comfortable life."
