sunken square

It is nothing new to be able to run into a stranger over and over again.

Chen Yue insisted that this man probably lived not far from the sunken square, and he might have met him before, but he didn't pay attention.

Many things are like this.Many things happen quietly, they don't care about people's reactions.

This is his fifth week in the city, and time is short.Many things that you don't pay attention to will gradually become habits.

After saying hello, seeing that the man didn't intend to talk, Chen Yuechi maintained the trotting speed just now and went down the mountain.

Breakfast is a piece of bread left over from yesterday, and sometimes it will be distributed if it cannot be sold out in the store.When eating, the taste was a little sour, Chen Yue took a glass of cold water and swallowed it down.

The tap water has a very faint smell of bleach/powder and a bit of rust.In this way, there is no need to distinguish which taste is more unbearable.

The sound of the piano was already far away in his mind.If you want to live on the ground, you don't really need this kind of sound.

The work of the Children's Palace is not very complicated, and it has been done for a week.Although Chen Yuechi is just a layman, he basically sells what he learns now. Fortunately, he is strong and smart. On the first day, the master would scold others, but later it turned into praise.

Chen Yuechi passed by the top floor every day, and often saw that man.Perhaps because there are more opportunities to meet each other, the two will nod to each other when they see each other.

On the last day, work was over, and they met again at the bottom of the Children's Palace.The foreman was paying the bill with the person in charge, and Chen Yuechi was waiting beside him. The man walked out, and someone called him from behind: "Guan Rong!"

Guan Rong.which capacity?

Guan Rong stopped, and the people behind changed their address: "Mr. Guan, are you going to the party tonight?"

"No." Guan Rong's tone was very polite, with a smile in his voice.Chen Yuechi originally thought that he would at least say "Have a good time", but there was nothing to say.

Chen Yuechi followed his fellow worker, who was still talking to Guan Rong.A group of people passed by them, Guan Rong nodded to Chen Yuechi as a greeting.

The people on both sides just turned around, and Chen Yuechi heard a sentence: "How do you know this kind of worker?"

What kind of worker is this?

Although Chen Yuechi didn't feel offended, he somehow cared about it.He suddenly wanted to hear Guan Rong's answer, but his footsteps had already taken him away from the scene.

At the convenience store on the weekend, Chen Yuechi got his first month's salary, which was less than two thousand in total, and was suppressed by five hundred.But it's been better than expected.

In the afternoon, he went to the warehouse to move the goods. The store manager, Miss Huan, came in behind her, and stuffed a few hundred-yuan bills into his pocket while no one called him aside.Chen Yue hurried to stop, and Sister Huan laughed: "I know you save money, and you don't eat well every day. Take it first, and it's not for free. I will give it next month."

Chen Yuechi still shook his head, took out the money and handed it back.

Sister Huan frowned, and patted the back of his hand: "Why is this kid so ignorant?" Then she whispered, "I'll make it official for you next month, and you can get an increase of three hundred."

She turned around to leave, but Chen Yuechi yelled, she turned her head and pointed at the goods next to her, pretending to be angry and said: "Shut up and work."

Chen Yuechi stood there for a while, collected the money properly, and started to work.

Go to the end of the street after the shift in the evening, there is an ATM machine there.As usual, the money during this period was sent out, and the rest would be two hundred after deducting the rent.Two hundred is enough to live a long time.

There is no bustling business in the sunken square at this point, except of course the side near the red light district.It is said that there is no real red-light district in China, but people call it that.

There was no one around, Chen Yue leaned against the windshield and stared blankly for a while.

Then he stood up straight and stood there for a few more seconds before walking out after adjusting his expression and posture.

After walking a few steps to the intersection, I happened to see a man and a woman arguing not far away.Chen Yuechi wanted to avoid it, but when he turned his head and saw two people tearing up, the man actually raised his hand and slapped the girl.

Chen Yuechi stopped and saw the tall and burly boy grabbing the girl's wrist.The girl struggled to break free, cried out "help" and looked around helplessly.

When the street lights came through, Chen Yuechi realized that he was someone he knew, and he was also a frequent customer of the convenience store.The girl from the red light district.

He actually didn't want to cause trouble, but the girl kept crying. After hesitating for a second, she ran up, grabbed the man, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Fuck you!" the man yelled.

It was only when Chen Yuechi got closer that he could see clearly that this person was quite young, he looked similar to himself, and he should be at the age of college.

Seeing Chen Yuechi, the girl snapped again: "Brother!"

"I mean," the man sneered, "he has a new date."

Chen Yuechi frowned, not wanting to be entangled in words, and said, "Let her go."

"Why?"

"Didn't you see that she doesn't want to go with you?"

After a moment of stalemate, the man came up to beat Chen Yuechi, but Chen Yuechi dodged his fist, becoming more and more annoyed.The girl wanted to pull him, but was thrown back and forth.

When the second punch came, Chen Yuechi hadn't moved yet, but the person opposite suddenly staggered, because someone kicked him from behind.Chen Yuechi stepped aside and saw another man.

It's that Guan Rong again.

Chen Yue pondered over the situation, and secretly let go of his already clenched fists.

The man was furious at first, but when he turned his head and saw Guan Rong, he was obviously taken aback, and suddenly panicked.He couldn't afford to offend and couldn't hold his breath, and the expression on his face was a little bit uncomfortable.

"I warned you." Guan Rong said.Very peaceful tone.

The girl grabbed the boy and hurriedly said "I'm sorry", but she didn't know who she was talking to.The man shook her off impatiently and left.

When people walk away, the girl wipes away her tears.She stood upright, with her head slightly lowered, and called out, "Brother Guan."

The sunken square is really small.

Guan Rong didn't answer for a long time, then suddenly sighed after a long time, and said gently: "Go back and apply ice to your face."

The girl sobbed, agreed, picked up the small bag from the ground and left in a hurry.

Chen Yuechi stood where he was, a little confused, and had some speculations.

"Thank you," he said.

Guan Rong didn't respond to his thanks, but just said: "This street is very messy, don't worry about everything."

Chen Yuechi didn't know what to do for a moment, he was not that righteous.Guan Rong turned around to leave, he looked at his back, and blurted out unexpectedly: "Then you don't care about it too?"

He thought he would not get an answer, and was a little annoyed at his words.Guan Rong turned back: "I am from this street."

The implication is obvious, although Chen Yuechi works here, he is still an outsider.

Chen Yue was stunned, and uttered another sentence that made him more regretful: "But this is a red-light district."

Guan Rong looked at him for a while, then laughed.
