night tide recedes

Song Ran walked quickly along the path near the gymnasium, but was still caught up by Qin Gu.

Qin Gu stopped in front of him, and just about to speak, he saw that Song Ran's face was full of tears, and he was at a loss, "You, don't cry."

Song Ran didn't want to cry either. Although those words were harsh, they were right. He only had a junior high school diploma, and his personality was not smooth enough. Working as a cheap labor force in a factory, he still couldn't face it calmly, but he was nakedly poked at the wrong side of his failed life.

He also wanted to go to school like his peers, and had fantasized about the future, but reality did not give him this opportunity.

Qin Gu wiped Song Ran's face with his sleeve indiscriminately, and cursed angrily, "Er Tao's grandson can't spit ivory. Making money with my own hands, I look down on those who show off with their parents' money the most, Song Ran, don't take it to heart."

Song Ran cried so much that his eyes and nose were red. He looked at Qin Gu who had been wronged for him, and felt better. At least Qin Gu sincerely regarded him as a friend. He gradually stopped his tears and choked up, "Thank you .”

"Why are you being polite?" Qin Gu said carelessly, "We have known each other for so long, I know what kind of person you are best, by the way, are you really not setting up a stall?"

Song Ran was still sobbing, "Well, I'm going to work in a factory. The business of the small stall is not good recently, so I planned not to do it."

This is not a lie. Even if there is no such thing as today, Song Ran will soon end the business of the sweet potato stall. The uncle of the neighbor introduced him to a factory. I am tired, but I can make nearly [-] yuan a month. income, and there are two days off every month, and lunch is included. At that time, it was a relatively good job for Song Ran. Song Ran hesitated for several days and did not reply. He admitted that he had selfish intentions. , wanted to continue to have contacts with A Zhong, but after this incident, Song Ran fully understood that there is no need to expect to set foot in a world that does not belong to him.

If the sand and stone try to touch the light, they will be crushed to pieces.

"Then how do we contact each other?"

Song Ran originally had an old-fashioned mobile phone, but it was completely scrapped due to rain and water last month. However, he has no one to contact. He usually goes directly to the market to buy goods. Grandma also asked the aunt next door to look after her, so There is no additional expense to buy a new mobile phone.

"I'll tell you the number when I buy a new phone, but it shouldn't be that fast."

Song Ran's money is very tight recently, and grandma's eyes seem to have problems again a while ago, because he didn't want Song Ran to spend money, so he kept it secret and didn't tell it. The doctor also vaguely expressed that grandma may have some minor physical problems, and asked him to take him for a physical examination as soon as possible. He planned to save up 2000 yuan before taking grandma for a physical examination, and the mobile phone matter was even more delayed.

Qin Gu was a little bit reluctant, "Alright then."

Song Ran didn't cry anymore, she still looked sleepy, and whispered, "Go back to training, I'm fine."

Qin Gu looked at his red eyes, pursed his lower lip, and gritted his teeth, "Let me tell you the truth, in fact, our team didn't plan to call you Sweet Potato anymore last semester. It was Shen Wenfei who said he invited everyone... .." "Qin Gu, the coach called you to train."

The words behind him overlapped with the sudden clear voice, and he spoke too fast, Song Ran didn't hear clearly for a moment, turned around and saw Shen Wenfei who appeared at some time, the embarrassment that had dissipated was like an epigenetic The vines climbed up from the bottom of his feet, and he didn't have time to scrutinize Qin Gu's words, but he didn't want Shen Wenfei to see his distress, lowered his head and pushed Qin Gu down with his hands, "You go, I'm leaving."

As soon as Shen Wenfei came, Song Ran was about to leave.

His long and narrow pupils lightly passed over the wet face that had been wiped by Qin Gu, his fair skin was covered with the powder after crying, but the end of his eyes was as red as a berry, and his water-colored eyes only glanced at him for a moment, Then it hung down quickly again, as if unwilling to even look at him more.

Shen Wenfei's thin lips tightened slightly, he brushed Song Ran's hand on Qin Gu's shoulder, turned his head and left without saying a word to Song Ran.

Song Ran has long been used to his taciturnity, seeing his back without turning his head, it's like being thrown into the juice squeezed out of unripe oranges, and his heart began to turn sour.

Just now in the training room, Shen Wenfei didn't say a word for him. Perhaps Shen Wenfei also missed him that much in his heart. He said he was a friend, but it was actually just polite words. There are so many excellent people around Shen Wenfei. When will it be his turn to become Shen Wenfei? Where are your friends?

Song Ran suppressed the rising sourness, tried his best to smile at Qin Gu, fearing that if he looked at Shen Wenfei more, he could not help crying again, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran away.

Qin Gu couldn't even yell back, so he caught up with Shen Wenfei and said, "Why don't you let me tell you, it was you who said you would treat everyone to eat sweet potatoes, so we continued to order, and Song Ran is so sad, you also Not a word of consolation."

Shen Wenfei's dark eyes were dim, and he said lightly, "You don't need to tell him."

Qin Gu was puzzled, thought for a while, and then suddenly realized, "Are you afraid of hurting Song Ran's self-esteem?"

After a long while, Shen Wenfei hummed noncommittally, then stopped, as if about to wipe away some traces, inexplicably patted Qin Gu on the shoulder twice, and then stepped into the training room again.

Half a month after the incident, a trivial incident happened to the badminton team.

Outsiders seem to have always been in harmony with others, even if he is cold but can be called good-tempered Shen Wenfei, in the simulation match with teammate Er Tao, he used all his strength to smash every time, and the angle was extremely tricky, forcing Er Tao to force He was so flustered that he couldn't catch a ball, and at the end of the hit, Shen Wenfei, who was very skilled, even missed the badminton racket, and the handle just hit Er Tao's left cheek, which immediately swelled up a lot.

After the game, Er Tao covered his face and asked Shen Wenfei to reason, but Shen Wenfei prevaricated with a careless sentence.

Shen Wenfei was one of the most popular in A, and he never deliberately targeted anyone, and there were many accidents in the field, so everyone naturally spoke for him, and they all advised Er Tao not to be so narrow-minded.

Shen Wenfei did not express his position except for the three words "careless" from the beginning to the end.

And after that time, Song Ran started to work in the factory under the recommendation of the neighbor's uncle. In the first few days, he still thought of Zhong A, remembered the words he heard in front of the training hall, and also missed Shen Wenfei, but soon, he There is no time to recall.

He has to rush to work at eight o'clock every day, except for an hour of lunch break at noon, and he can't get off work until six o'clock.

The factory work is heavy, and the supervisor will insult him with ugly words when he makes a mistake in the process. He dare not slack off, and rushes to a restaurant to work as a waiter after get off work, and he can't go home until 10:30.

Song Ran is full of boring and strenuous work every day, and gradually locks up those thoughts that shouldn't be there. Even if he lies down at night, his mind will uncontrollably think of that stern face. You will also force yourself to drive it out.

He is almost exhausting his own body to barely survive. He has to feed and clothe his grandma, save money to see a doctor for his grandma, and has to divert part of his income to deal with loan sharks. He always lives very hard and endures, I can't breathe for a moment, and occasionally complain about the unfairness of this world, but when I wake up, I still have to face the road ahead covered with thorns, stepping on it dripping with blood, and then knocking down my teeth and foaming blood. Swallow in the stomach.

However, Song Ran was not completely unlucky. One month after he worked in the factory, he was stopped by someone filling out the questionnaire on the road.

"Student, we are doing an event. Just fill in the questionnaire and you can draw a lottery for free. It is very likely that you will get a mobile phone. Do you want to try it?"

It was a very kind middle-aged woman who stopped him, but Song Ran was afraid that it was a new type of scam, so he shook his head and said no.

The woman was sincere and begged him again and again, saying that she had to get a hundred people to fill in the questionnaire to complete the task for the day. Seeing that she was really anxious, Song Ran agreed.

In the end, he didn't expect that when the dial was turned, he really switched to the mobile phone. He still couldn't believe it while holding the mobile phone, for fear that the woman would ask him for money.

The woman smiled and said, "It's really a lottery, you don't have to think I'm a liar, but our company's mobile phone is an internal beta version, you can't sell it for money, and the number of places is limited, so you can't tell the outside world."

Song Ran really thought about selling this mobile phone in the market and changing it to a cheaper one. Hearing what the woman said, he had no choice but to give up the idea. He was skeptical until the woman left, and after using it for a while, he believed that he had obtained one for no reason. phone.

Despite the joy, he still followed what the woman told him, and didn't tell anyone that the phone was drawn by him in a lottery.

The second day after he got the phone, he ran to look for Qin Gu at the gate of Central A. Unfortunately, Qin Gu walked side by side with Shen Wenfei. He was a little hesitant to go forward. Qin Gu had sharp eyes and happily ran up to greet him.

Song Ran bit the bullet and took out the phone and asked Qin Gu to enter the number.

"Wow, it seems that the income from changing jobs is indeed more. Your mobile phone is of the same brand and model as Wen Fei."

As he said this, Shen Wenfei had already walked up to them. They hadn't seen each other for a month. Song Ran was so nervous that his breathing slowed down. He was about to get the phone back, but Qin Gu handed it to Shen Wenfei. Song Ran's eyes widened in anxiety. But Shen Wenfei actually entered the mobile phone number without saying a word, he didn't know what Shen Wenfei meant for a moment, and in the end it was just because Shen Wenfei didn't care to touch Qin Gu's face.

When Shen Wenfei returned the phone to him, he touched his finger unintentionally, Song Ran's whole hand went numb as if he had been electrocuted, and this numbness penetrated into his heart.

When he was at a loss, Shen Wenfei said slowly, "Contact me for something."

Song Ran grabbed the phone tightly, and nodded in Shen Wenfei's calm eyes.

He thought that he might really be hopeless, but just such an ordinary sentence made him fantasize about the silver moon that he was supposed to look up to.
