Seventy-nine, computer lost (2)

  "It's okay, there's always a way. If all else fails, I can find a job tomorrow and earn one or two thousand yuan in a month. We can slowly pay it back. Besides, I still have eight or nine thousand yuan on my card now. Borrowing some from family and friends will be enough."

  "We returned the money to her, how are we going to live now? We still need to eat, we still need to pay rent," Gu Xuelin said, tears streaming down her face.

  "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, you definitely won't starve to death."

  Gu Xue Lin was still sobbing, and I comforted her with many intimate words before she gradually stopped crying. Then, in a disjointed manner, she told me what had happened.

  It turned out that in the afternoon, they had physical education class, and Gao Xuelin took Xiao Na's laptop with her. As a result, she forgot it on the playground. When she remembered later and went to look for it, it was already gone.

  "Have you reported it to the school's security department?" I asked.

  "They've been there, it's already on record."

  "Have you posted the lost notice?"

  "Just went to print more than 30 copies, almost all the places in school that can be posted have been covered."

  "Maybe the person who took away the computer will feel uneasy in their conscience and return it to you. You might as well wait and see."

  "Hmm, our dormitory all said that if it's been three days and still can't find it back, then it will definitely be gone for good."

  "Let's wait for three days then."

  "Uh-huh."

  Afterwards, Gu Xue Lin and I didn't talk much anymore.

  At dinner time, Gu Xue Lin only ate a few mouthfuls before saying she couldn't eat anymore.

  I see this situation, but I can only be helpless.

  After all, this 17,000 yuan is not a small sum of money, especially when it's placed on a student who is still studying and has no income, making it even more unbearable.

  That night, Gao Xue Lin didn't fall asleep until very late.

  After a while, she would take a look at her mobile phone to see if anyone had called about the computer.

  However, the expected phone call still didn't come.

  For the next two days, there was still no news about the computer, and Gu Xue Lin looked increasingly haggard.

  She often gets distracted and sometimes I have to call her two or three times before she reacts.

  I saw it in her eyes that she was worried about whether the computer could be found or not, and I wanted to comfort her with a few words, but didn't know how to start.

  In a society that pursues fame and wealth, where morality is corrupt, the weight of a "thank you" cannot compare to the weight of a stack of hundred-yuan bills.

  So in my heart, I have already given up on the possibility of getting the computer back. No luck, no miracle, only the harsh reality.

  It's not that we are too pessimistic, but reality doesn't allow us to be optimistic. It's not that we are too cruel, but reality doesn't allow us to be tolerant.

  This is a sentence that Lan Qi once said. At that time, I refuted her, but now I have nothing to say.

  I think if the computer is found again, it will change many of my views, and if the computer is not found again, it will also reverse many of my views.
