frontal rain

The street is quiet and desolate late at night in winter, and the street lamps dragged the figures of the two people for a long time.

A few sporadic businesses are still lit, and there are no pedestrians on the road, only the garbage truck at the end of the road is still working dutifully.

Yu Duo walked forward without saying a word, Jiang Chiyu always followed two or three meters behind him, he walked when Yu Duo walked, and stopped when Yu Duo stopped.

Jiang Chiyu knew that Yu Duo was angry today.

The bar is not far from home, just a ten-minute walk away.Just when Jiang Chiyu thought that Yu Duo was going to walk all the way home, Yu Duo suddenly turned around and said the first sentence of the day to Jiang Chiyu: "Your injuries a few days ago were all caused by that group of people?"

"Yes." Jiang Chiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and there was nothing to hide when the matter was over.

"They hit you, why didn't you fight back?" Yu Duo asked again.

Jiang Chiyu didn't expect Yu Duo to ask this question, he was slightly taken aback, and quickly replied: "I don't want to cause trouble for you."

Campus bullying is nothing new.Students in private schools are well-to-do and lawless.Jiang Chiyu has just arrived here, he is good at studying and looks good, so he naturally becomes the thorn in the side of these "school bullies".

Jiang Chiyu knew that he was different from them, his opportunity to go to school was hard-won, he didn't want these bad things to affect his college entrance examination, and he didn't want to cause anything to disappoint Yu Duo.

So before today, he has been backing down and never confronted those people head-on.

"Then why did you do it again today?" Yu Duo asked.

"Because he hit you." Jiang Chiyu glanced at Yu Duo quickly and said.

Probably because he felt sorry for Yu Duo in his heart, Jiang Chiyu behaved extraordinarily well-behaved tonight, no matter what Yu Duo asked and what he answered, he put away all his sharp thorns and sharp claws.

Thinking of Jiang Chiyu's situation in the past few months, Yu Duo felt a little uncomfortable, and his tone softened unconsciously: "Put on your clothes first."

Hearing what Yu Duo said, Jiang Chiyu realized that he was only wearing a T-shirt.

After Jiang Chiyu put on his coat, Yu Duo looked away from the wounds on his hands and face, and asked, "What are you doing in that bar?"

"Cash register, do accounts, and watch the scene." Jiang Chiyu lowered his head and pulled the zipper, briefly summarizing his work every night after school.

Jiang Chiyu was telling the truth, he did not appear in the bar to have fun, nor did he mix with society.It's just because the manager of this bar and his younger brothers are rough people, and they urgently need a managerial talent.Jiang Chiyu saw their recruitment notice on the way from school and applied for the job.

"I sent you to study, is that how you study?" Yu Duo laughed angrily at Jiang Chiyu's words: "No wonder your head teacher sued me."

"I didn't waste my studies." Jiang Chiyu immediately explained: "I will go to work part-time for a while after the evening self-study is over, and there are not too many things in the bar, so I can read books and brush up questions in my spare time."

In Jiang Chiyu's view, he used to be able to take care of his studies at the construction site, but now he comes out to work part-time for a few hours after self-study every night, which will not cause any impact.

Yu Duo imagined learning to do the questions in the environment where the demons danced wildly just now, and said with a sneer, "It's really you."

After saying this, Yu Duo turned his head and left. Jiang Chiyu knew that his brother's anger would not be dissipated so easily, so he continued to follow.

The more Yu Duo walked, the more angry he felt. He stopped and asked Jiang Chiyu again: "Why are you wasting time doing these things? Don't you know what is the most important thing to you right now?"

Jiang Chiyu followed and stopped, without answering.

Jiang Chiyu's silence was stubborn in Yu Duo's eyes, and he poured oil on his heart when he succeeded: "Okay, we are not related, I really have no right to control you."

"Brother." Hearing what Yu Duo said, Jiang Chiyu quickly ran after him and grabbed his wrist: "That's not the case."

"Then what do you think it's like?" Yu Duo asked back.

Jiang Chiyu didn't answer Yu Duo's question right away, but opened his schoolbag and took out his chemistry textbook.He took out a few red, green and green bills from the textbook, simply gathered them into a stack, and stuffed them into Yu Duo's hands.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the ten yuan bill on his face was almost blown out by the wind.Jiang Chiyu squeezed Yu Duo's fingers together, and did not remove his palm from his hand until he took the money away.

Yu Duo looked at the banknotes that Jiang Chiyu stuffed in his hand, and asked in disbelief: "You work outside until midnight every day, just for this?"

"Yeah." Jiang Chiyu looked at Yu Duo and said, "I originally wanted to save some more before giving it to you, but now there are only these."

For a moment, Yu Duo wondered whether Jiang Chiyu's good grades were due to a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, or pure luck.

"Jiang Chiyu." Yu Duo asked, "Can you tell me what's going on in your head?"

Jiang Chiyu's idea is actually very simple, he just wants to try his best to lighten Yu Duo's burden.In the final analysis, Yu Duo himself is just a young man in his early twenties. He needs to advance funds for the project and has a large family to support on the construction site. The burden on his shoulders is heavy.

Jiang Chiyu didn't know what Yu Duo's decision to send himself to school meant, but he knew what he had to pay for it.It is not as simple as raising a kitten and puppy for one person to study.

"I know you want me to study without distraction." Jiang Chiyu said to Yu Duo, "but I don't want to be your burden."

After hearing this, Yu Duo laughed dryly twice.He stuffed the money in his hand into Jiang Chiyu's schoolbag, grabbed Jiang Chiyu's hand without any explanation, and led him towards a bank on the side of the road.

Jiang Chiyu was staggered by Yu Duo, but the touch of his palms snatched all his attention in an instant. Yu Duo's palm was very hot, his fingers were slightly cold, and there was a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips.

Jiang Chiyu couldn't help but want to clasp this hand tightly, so he did so.

Yu Duo didn't notice Jiang Chiyu's small movements, and the glass door of the self-service bank opened. He pushed Jiang Chiyu towards an ATM machine, took out the bank card from his wallet, and threw it on Jiang Chiyu's body.

Yu Duo leaned against the machine, looked down at Jiang Chiyu, and said to him: "The password is three, six, three, eight, enter it yourself."

Jiang Chiyu didn't know what Yu Duo wanted to do, but he didn't want to make him angry anymore, and he would do whatever Yu Duo asked him to do tonight.

He inserted the card into the machine as promised and entered the password.

The password was entered correctly, and a long series of numbers jumped out on the screen. Yu Duo glanced at his balance, and asked Jiang Chiyu, "Did you see it?"

"En." Jiang Chiyu stared at the numbers on the screen and nodded.

"How many digits are there in the balance?" Yu Duo asked again.

Jiang Chiyu replied: "Five."

In fact, to be precise, it should be five digits higher, not too far from six digits.

"I don't have the chance to go to college. Give me a little bit of courage. Even if I get a Ph. D., I can afford it." Yu Duo looked at Jiang Chiyu and slowed down his tone. He finally realized the hard work of raising a child.

As if to reassure Jiang Chiyu, Yu Duo said again: "The money was lent to you, and you will have to pay back the principal with interest in the future, do you understand?"

Yu Duo didn't know if he was impulsive, or if he would regret it in the future, but when he made this decision at Lin Shengnan's house that night, he only felt that he made up for a regret in his life.

Jiang Chiyu looked at the numbers on the screen that took him an unknown amount of time to accumulate, and answered the wrong question: "You don't want to buy a house anymore?"

Yu Duo himself was very open-minded: "Do you think my little money is enough to buy a toilet?"

For buying a house, Yu Duo's savings are simply a drop in the bucket.

But this short series of numbers is also the blood and sweat he has accumulated bit by bit.As long as Jiang Chiyu thought of how Yu Duo's daily dime was broken into eight-petaled flowers, his heart felt like a mountain was pressed against him.

On the day of paying the tuition, Jiang Chiyu actually wanted to tell Yu Duo, forget it, I will not study anymore.But he clearly remembered that Yu Duo complained to him about the high tuition fees of private high schools with a heartbroken face, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Chiyu withdrew the bank card and solemnly handed it to Yu Duo.Like a little Shiba Inu who has done something wrong, he pulled Yu Duo's sleeve and said to him: "I know brother, I did something wrong this time, don't be angry, it won't happen again in the future."

Jiang Chiyu is a kid who can't spit ivory out of his dog's mouth on weekdays, doesn't eat soft and hard, and seldom accepts softness. Tonight's good attitude of admitting his mistakes made Yu Duo feel relieved all of a sudden.

"That's fine." Yu Duo couldn't resist the look in his eyes, and looked away.He put the card in his wallet and walked out of the bank first: "Go home."

"Does the wound on your face hurt?" Jiang Chiyu picked up his schoolbag and followed Yu Duo out.

"It doesn't hurt." Yu Duo touched the blood scab on his chin. If Jiang Chiyu hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that there was such a trouble.

That hedgehog head has been domineering for a long time, and tonight he bowed his head and admitted his defeat due to the situation, and there is no guarantee that he will not come to find fault again in the future.Jiang Chiyu confessed to Yu Duo: "If that kid dares to go to the construction site to make trouble, you can tell me."

"You should worry about yourself first." The glass door opened automatically, and the cold wind came oncoming, Yu Duo narrowed his eyes.

Coming out of the heated environment all of a sudden, the huge temperature difference made him shiver uncontrollably.Yu Duo couldn't lose face in front of Jiang Chiyu, he put his hands in his pockets, and walked out as if nothing had happened: "In the future, if someone who doesn't have a good eye comes to provoke you, you will beat him back. If there is anything wrong, I will take care of it for you. "

"Got it." Jiang Chiyu laughed. He quickened his pace, walked towards the direction of the cold wind, and blocked Yu Duo behind him.
