Nouveau riche vs real rich

In City S, Yan Ailin was holding his mobile phone in a daze. The man was crying hysterically on the other end of the phone, so sad that he couldn't help crying. At first Yan Ailin was a little dazed. It took a lot of familiarity and trust to make himself so vulnerable. The sad side was brought out. After all, Ye Chen and Ye Chen didn't have such a long conversation late at night, but Ye Chen's enthusiasm contributed to this acquaintance. Ye Chen often said to her, "I regard you as a friend." Yes, so what about Ye Chen to her?What is it?A passerby whose eyes are always focused on the road of travel?An acquaintance who nods?But more than that, the house she enthusiastically introduced to her, Ye Chen had seen her miserable appearance when she was in the most embarrassing situation, Yan Ailin was in a complicated mood, she was not a person who likes to make friends, her special background and special Her growing experience made it difficult for her to be like an ordinary girl. When she was young, she had girlfriends in groups of three or four. She also tried to get along with others, but her mother even sent her to a wealthy school since she was a child. In the place of people, after so many years, I have gotten a little closer to Lu Yong and those few people, but Yan Ailin sensitively felt that Ye Chen might be a lesbian who likes girls. A blind date, but Yan Ailin felt that way intuitively.

She was standing on the balcony of her newly rented apartment. The night was as cold as water. Yan Ailin really thanked Ye Chen for the price of the house in this area. A text message, "Take a deep breath...""

She didn't know what went wrong with Ye Chen, and she knew very little about Ye Chen's life experience. What she learned was that she lost her mother when she was talking about dinner that night. Didn't she die of a normal illness?Why did Ye Chen suddenly cry so hard over there again? Even though he was full of suspicion, Yan Ailin didn't want to ask any more questions, and just sent those three strange words, just like that, at least it can make breathing not so sad, She stood on the balcony for a long time. This is the experience she has accumulated over the years. When she was sad in the past, she took a deep breath.

Five hundred kilometers away, there was heavy rain pouring down, not as ferocious as the rain in early autumn, like in midsummer. Ye Chen was tired from crying. She hadn't cried like this for a long time. She just felt sad, hurt, and didn't dare to cry. Thinking about it, she is a person born from the inside out. Her world is noisy and jubilant. The previous performance was completely frightened, and she was so shocked by this inexplicable fact that she didn’t know what to do. She is not a forbearing person. So she called Shangguan Shuishui, but she never thought that Shangguan Shuishui's mobile phone was not answered.She subconsciously called Yan Ailin, but she couldn't stop crying, how could this happen?

With blurred eyes, she couldn't see the words clearly on the phone screen. She wiped vigorously, but she wiped more and more tears. Leaning on the content of the text message, she took a deep breath and finally calmed down a bit.

After a while, Shangguan Shuishui called back. She spoke intermittently and choked up her sobs. Even Shuishui seldom saw her like this. She was frightened and took a car to Anzhen the next day.

It rained endlessly in Anzhen. When the water arrived, Ye Chen was still asleep on the bed. Only Rong Qingqing looked stern in the main room, but her eyes were not focused. When she heard footsteps, she raised her eyes and saw Shangguan Shuishui came, straightened up as if seeing Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, hurriedly took the umbrella from Shuishui's hand, and said excitedly, "Shui... Shui...you... ....how?"

"What's the matter? What happened? She cried and spoke intermittently, but she didn't hear what happened. Where is she?"

"Back room."

Shangguan Shuishui glanced at the person on the bed, put down his bag, stroked his rain-drenched hair, and turned around to come out again, "Where's grandma?"

She greeted him politely. The old lady knew this person. She played with Ye Chen once or twice when she was a child. She knew that she played well with Xiaochen.

Shui Shui just sat in front of the bed, looked at Ye Chen with his eyes closed on the bed, as if he had been ill and lost his energy.

"Why are you here?" Ye Chen didn't fall asleep at first, she just didn't want to wake up.

"You cry so earth-shatteringly, I can't come to see you."

Ye Chen looked around, but didn't see Rong Rong, "You came alone?"

Shui Shui nodded.

"Why don't you ask Rongrong to take you off?" From City S, you have to take a bus to City A, and then take a bus to the county town. Only the minibus in the county town can go to Anzhen.

"Too lazy to trouble him." Shangguan Shuishui said casually.

Ye Chen was a little hungry, it was raining all over the place, and he didn't know the time, "What time is it?"

"It's almost three o'clock, are you taking a lunch break? Have you eaten yet?" Shangguan Shuishui only heard her crying on the phone saying what happened to her mother, but she didn't hear clearly, only that she had passed away for 20 years It's possible that the graves of the people who are in love have been picked up, but Ye Chen wouldn't be so sad.

Seeing Shangguan Shuishui, Ye Chen seemed to have found a support, moved her body, and leaned on Shangguan Shuishui's shoulder, she was really sick, her whole body was weak and sore.

The old lady took advantage of the situation and brought in a bowl of porridge. The porridge had been heated several times, and it was already a little dry. The surface was dry and mushy. The old lady handed the porridge to Shangguan Shuishui, glanced at Ye Chen, and said nothing. Just went straight out.

"What do you mean? Are you on a hunger strike? Do you want me to feed you?" Shangguan Shuishui put the porridge in her hand. She was not so gentle, but Ye Chen felt relieved when he saw her. Knowing that there is no one in this world other than Shangguan Shuishui who could receive such a crying call, she came here without fear of going through a lot of trouble.

Ye Chen mechanically ate one bite at a time. The food was tasteless, but she was indeed a little hungry. The cruelty of the truth stuck in her throat. She let out a long sigh and came back to life a little. Shangguan Shuishui took her half-eaten bowl and walked to the kitchen. , there was an old lady sitting in front of the stove, and the old lady was still burning firewood at home, and the fire light printed on the wrinkled face, and the old lady wiped her face.

Shangguan Shuishui sat next to her at some point, and put his wet trouser legs against the stove door. The old lady's eyes did not turn, she stared at the firewood in the stove door, a little confused, "Xiao Chen didn't go through anything. Son, she was too young when that happened, she was just afraid, coffins, candles, well-dressed Taoist priests doing the practice field, in fact, not only children, people are unfamiliar with things all their lives Feeling scared, since then, she hasn't experienced any big ups and downs, her father pampered her as much as possible with the guilt that can't be eliminated in a lifetime, even if he spoils her like a prodigal, he doesn't care, as long as she is happy , can live her mother's life." The old lady knew everything clearly, saying that Ye Tianba was a favorite, she was never weaker than Ye Tianba, she didn't study well, it's okay, she didn't get into a decent university, she didn't If she passed the exam, she didn't pass the exam. After graduation, she would play all day long and let her play.Thus, Ye Chen spent more than 20 years smoothly under such protection, and became a bastard who knows nothing.

In the middle of the afternoon, the rain finally stopped, and Ye Chen also gained some strength, struggling to get up, but let Shangguan Shuishui accompany her to visit her mother, Rong Qingqing followed from a distance, just after getting off It was raining, the road was slippery in the middle of the mountain, and the burnt paper money was piled up in front of the grave yesterday. She reached out and stroked the leaves on the stele, sniffling.

One day seemed to have passed for many years, so tired, she finally understood why Ye Tianba was so obsessed and remorseful for so many years, she wondered if she should hate the old man like grandma, if he didn't stay overnight Gambling is not at home, and her mother will not have to go to the casino to find him before dawn, but how can she hate him?For more than 20 years, Ye Tianba has taken care of her both externally and inland. He is the closest person in her life. A drop of raindrops fell from the leaves on her face. It was cool, and she raised her face. .

Shangguan Shuishui put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it.

"She was sexually assaulted on the way home from looking for my father. I don't know if it was resistance or something. The murderer killed her and ran away before she could dispose of the body. She was thrown on the side of the road and opened by a The driver of the truck who had been driving at night with his eyes closed for an unknown amount of time pushed him up." Her voice was so low that she could barely speak, Shangguan Shuishui hugged her from behind, and said softly, "Stop talking, stop talking."

After Ye Chen vented, she calmed down a bit. The old past was like a pool of wine in a wine cellar. She thought it was just a pool of ordinary wine. It would be a bit sad to think about it, but how would she know? When her father and her grandmother took her to uncover it, it turned out to be a pool of blood and maggots, which was horrible, but no matter whether it was a pool of wine or maggots, her mother would not come back to life up.

Ye Chen leaned weakly on Shangguan Shui Shui, tugging at her sleeve.

Shangguan Shuishui didn't ask much, just hugged her, and stayed on the mountain for a while, looking at each other speechlessly.

Time was so quiet, Shangguan Shuishui found that Ye Chen was particularly vulnerable at this time, perhaps she had never missed her mother as much as at this moment, Shangguan Shuishui has always been with her like that, when the comfort of words is pale When you are powerless, there is only silent companionship left.
