superficial dialogue

Xie Baijing arrived home late at night.

The house is small, with a room connected to the balcony for his mother and a small bedroom for him.Because his high school and university accommodation has mostly become a utility room, every time he comes back, he temporarily packs up a place for him to stay.When Xie Baijing arrived home, there was no one in the house.Xie's mother has been addicted to gambling for many years. She must have been out all night, but he didn't care. He washed up and went to bed, even though he couldn't sleep.

At four o'clock in the morning, his mother came back in a hurry, and there was a sound of chaos: throwing shoes, throwing keys, throwing bags, aggressive footsteps, directly rushed into his room, and turned on the lights together.

Xie Baijing's eyes were squinted by the sudden light, and he sat up tiredly. He didn't even mess up his hair, and looked coldly at his mother who was in a bit of a panic at the moment.

"Give me one hundred thousand," Xie Mu's voice trembled, "Bai Jing."

Xie Baijing said indifferently: "Where can I give you one hundred thousand?"

Xie's mother's eyes were red, and she sat down on the edge of the single bed. Tears flowed from her bloodshot eyes, and she begged: "I know you made money, help me, I'm your mother. I've been here these days Yes, I lost my head for a while... Where is grandma's card? Do you have any money?"

Xie Baijing sternly reprimanded: "How long are you going to be crazy?! I'm out of cash, and I paid the money for the nursing home yesterday."

Mother Xie: "I know, I know. But you have to help me find a way..."

The son opposite her was just indifferently silent, as if he didn't care about her at all.This made her cry almost howling, looking extremely embarrassed, and then choked up in such silence for a long time, and seemed to suddenly think of something: "Then where is your boss?"

Xie Baijing: "What?"

"The guy named Ke," Xie Mu's lips trembled, "he's interested in you, don't think I can't see it. This kind of kid can give a house to a chicken that has slept for two nights. I don't believe he didn't What did you send..."

Xie Baijing felt that his whole body was icy cold, and then a fire burned from his heart, raging fiercely.

He couldn't tell what he was thinking.In fact, he has never had any expectations for his biological mother for many years. She is gambling, lustful, pleasure-seeking, irresponsible, and has never supported her mother and raised her son, and her feelings are weak. Unable to change, he can only hope that he can get rid of the imprint given to him by his biological mother, and that he will be able to clean up the mess in the future.It's just that at this moment, he felt completely disappointed, as if someone had stabbed him at the last line of defense, cut a hole in his body, and all his energy was leaking out.He was even thinking, what is the point of his persistence these days?

Xie Baijing's voice stretched into a line: "Can you say one more thing?"

Mother Xie's face was still wet with tears, but she stopped crying.Even if it was her, she didn't dare to really offend her angry son.She knew she had made a slip of the tongue, but she never apologized. She sat stiffly for a while, barely stood up, staggered back to her room, and slammed the door with a "bang".

The lights in the room were still on.Xie Baijing leaned against the wall, his eyes hurt from being pecked by the light bulb, even if he closed his eyes, there would be a dazzling halo in the darkness, like the fireworks bombed in the night sky of S City, beautiful and cold.

At six in the morning, he turned on his phone and transferred [-] to his mother.

He really didn't have any more cash.With the money he saved from being able to work part-time, he needs to pay for his tuition and living expenses, buy second-hand computers and mobile phones, the expenses of the nursing home and the debts owed by his family.His mother hadn't worked for many years, and she relied on the money and pension saved by grandma to provide food and drink for the family, plus some pocket money for the game of poker.However, the family owes more and more year after year, and from time to time there are new urgent figures.After joining Xinrui last year, he was able to loosen up a little. He didn't save much, but he already spent a lot of money.Ke Jiang gave him a New Year's gift, the promotion of that brand, and the number written in the contract is not small, but the money has not yet arrived.Now Kari only has the money for tuition fees, and he has to wait for this month's salary to catch his breath for food and drink.He made careful calculations several times to keep his expenses to a minimum. With his mother's lessons learned, he really didn't want to live on borrowed money anymore.

At eleven o'clock, Xie's mother came out of the room, ordered two bowls of noodles herself for the first time, and asked Xie Baijing to come out for dinner.

Mother and son are still eating in silence.Apart from arguing, they seemed to have nothing more to say.

When Mother Xie put down her chopsticks, she hesitated for a long time, and then Ai Ai said: "Bai Jing, I am the one who is sorry for you."

Xie Baijing didn't raise his eyes.

"That Boss Ke..." Mother Xie said, "It's definitely not good to offend him, right? Since he has a crush on you... I don't want you to do anything, just talk to him, follow him, maybe in the future It can save our lives. I only reminded you because you are so hot-tempered and easy to offend people. "

Xie Baijing said calmly, "I don't want to hear you mention him again. Shut up."

Mother Xie kept silent, got up and deliberately turned around a few times, still took the keys and bag, stood at the door of the house, and looked at Xie Baijing.

"That man of yours," Xie Baijing looked back coldly, "does he have a wife? Nowhere else. No gambling today."

Mother Xie didn't dare to refute, she nodded in agreement, and finally opened the door and went out cautiously.Xie Baijing brought two sets of bowls and chopsticks to the sink, squeezed in dish soap, turned on the faucet, and listened to the splashing cold water, slowly lost his mind.In the narrow and crowded kitchen, there is barely room for one person, and there is only one small window.Through the iron rods of the old-fashioned anti-theft windows, you can see a few old people under the old building going home with vegetable baskets, and the red fragments of firecrackers are still scattered on the ground.The children upstairs were singing loudly. The immature children’s voice was somewhat hoarse than that of a little boy. After singing a nursery rhyme with a strange tune, the adults applauded and said yes, and the noisy sound passed through the old house with poor sound insulation. , as if covered with a layer of veil.Most of the happy looks are similar, but the unhappy life is full of holes.

But how many knives should a person in misfortune go to touch the corner of happiness?

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Ke Jiang, who was caught in a party and couldn't get out, was still thinking about Xie Baijing's return soon, so he called the driver and asked when he would pick it up.

"No need, Mr. Ke." Xie Baijing said, his voice was not so hostile, but seemed helplessly calm, "I'm already in S City."

Ke Jiang frowned, and after a long while, said oh.

After a year passed, Xie Baijing went to class, work, and class as usual.He pushed back a lot of school work, so he concentrated on his work.The promotion of several variety shows, Lin Feng's support, and the company's promotion, if this is not popular, it is unacceptable.Xie Baijing's WeChat and QQ messages were about to explode, and they were all inquiries from classmates, so he had no choice but to simply change his mobile phone number and abandon all his original social accounts.On the Internet, several commercial clips he had previously filmed for the company were also dug up, and the public seemed to have dug up a treasure: he came from a prestigious school - a top student; ; Good-looking, with a dream of acting in his heart-inspirational.After all the good things have been said, the promotion team specially set up by Xinrui has contributed a lot.He has indeed started to get busy. He needs to work overtime in acting classes, and at work, he is endlessly interviewing variety shows and filming various things.

Ke Jiang wanted to torment him like before, why did he tell him to go to the office, why did he accompany him to go racing and ride a horse, all of these would not work.It was when Xie Baijing first showed his talents, and the itinerary was full. Even if Ke Jiang was willing to make a fuss, Xie Baijing really didn't have time to pay attention to it.After a month of being so dry, Ke Jiang rushed to Zhang Yuntian's house in the middle of the night, holding a wine bottle and started blowing each other.

Zhang Yuntian's little girlfriend was still lying in the room, and he himself was forced to get up from the gentle village to drink with Ke Jiang.Ke Jiang's capacity for alcohol is very good, it's not easy to get drunk, so he drank a lot of good wine from Zhang Yuntian's collection, and said with a stiff neck, "Brother, I'm suffering."

Zhang Yuntian patiently asked, "What are you suffering?"

"I'm so miserable," Ke Jiang lay on Zhang Yuntian's shoulders, and everyone was drunk when he was not drunk, dangling the wine bottle in one hand, "I'm fucking... the people I like don't like me. I'll count , It's been almost half a year, and there is no one around me! He still ignores me, why am I still here, go back to New York to find my mother? I can't help it!"

Zhang Yuntian was at a loss when he heard it, and then realized that Ke Jiang was referring to the sweetheart he mentioned before, thinking that this brother is really affectionate, and the little Internet celebrities around him have changed four or five times. Jiang is still hurt here.While consoling him meaninglessly, he muttered, "Then what can I do for you? Why don't you tell me?"

Ke Jiang: "How did you do it, so many little girls like you?"

Zhang Yuntian thought for a long time, and then choked out a sentence: "Jiang Bao, I don't like hearing your words..."

"Why am I like this," Zhang Yuntian said sincerely, "I just stand there, everyone loves me, if you don't believe me, ask."

Ke Jiang stared at him for a moment, tilted his neck and fell asleep.

He didn't really want to ask Zhang Yuntian for help with emotional experience, and he wasn't so overwhelmed.He just wanted to talk to someone about it. He was happy and heartless for more than twenty years, and finally encountered relationship problems, stuck in his throat like a fishbone, unable to swallow or hold back.When I think of Xie Baijing, I feel depressed, full of pain that I can't get what I want.He was looking for Xu Li for this matter, he was afraid that Xu Li's idiot would kidnap Xie Baijing and put him on his bed; he was looking for someone else, and he didn't know him too well, so he was embarrassed to say it.As for Zhang Yuntian, his mouth is still solid, if he vents, it's over.When he came home to attend the once-a-month family reunion, his brother had something to say and asked him why he was not in a good state recently and whether he was broken in love.Ke Jiang smiled and said, how can I, I have a crush on someone, and I am still chasing him.

The old man was a little excited and kept asking which family the girl was from.

"Oh, just an ordinary person," Ke Jiang said nonsense, "Just wait, I'll bring it back later."
