Livelihood issues of 119

  I looked at Qin Xuan and thought for a moment. "You don't have to say anything, you're my elder brother, the older brother of my woman, it's only right. But Bao Long and Dong Ge, as well as Pangzi Tao, they all volunteered. Although Pangzi Tao isn't here, I understand him. They didn't have any ill intentions, nor would they think too much about it, only I think more than necessary. It seems like you also thought a lot, did you feel like you took advantage of them? Actually, that's not the case. At this time, who else can stand up to help you? Right? Those who should leave will leave, those who should open up will open up. If we don't stand up for you, what can you do? Really go by yourself? One more person, one more bit of strength. After finishing this matter, I'll take you guys back home. Living in this place is too suffocating, I want to leave here." Saying this, I patted Qin Xuan's shoulder. "You're a good older brother, we need someone who can truly be the backbone of our group. Only, I hope that you can really treat us as brothers."

  Qin Xuan fell silent after hearing what I had to say.

  "Among friends, it sounds nice to call it mutual help, but if you say it in a bad way, it's called taking advantage of each other. However, helping needs to be divided into how to help, and taking advantage also needs to be divided into how to take advantage. Don't worry, these people are worth risking your life for. You should adjust your attitude, don't put yourself outside of others, but rather put our big brother in his place, just like Lin Yifei. We lack a backbone, you're not the problem. Let's handle this matter first." After finishing speaking, I smiled and waved at Qin Xuan, "Xuan Ge."

  Follow me and warm up, then enter the room.

  Entered the room. Nuan raised her head "Wang Yue."

  "Hmm? What's wrong?"

  "Thank you."

  I smiled and said "what's there to thank."

  "I know my brother's actions are selfish, and I'm being selfish too by wanting you to help him in such a dangerous situation. But I understand my brother, although he's not as taciturn as those days, if he can't get over this hurdle, he'll never be at peace for the rest of his life."

  "It's alright, stop thinking so much."

  "Don't blame my brother."

  "No problem." I thought for a moment "A circle, there must be a backbone, we are not suitable, Qin Xuan is fine, anyway he has no way out, following us together, it's good." Saying this, I thought again "If Lin Yifei really has something going on, having one more true friend to help out is always good." Only the words behind, I didn't say them out loud. Thinking of this, I remembered Lin Yifei again, picked up the phone and called Brother Fei, but the call kept showing as unable to connect, somewhat curious, continued calling, still unable to connect.

  Warmly stretch out your hand and hold me "Husband, what are you doing?"

  I smiled and gestured with the phone in my hand, "Let me call my big brother, wait for him to come back and treat us well."

  "Six six, are you really going back?" Warm's voice was a little down.

  I laughed excitedly, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. We're not making much money, we're not getting much, and nothing is going well, it's really not interesting. When we get there, let's go help my brother as soon as we see him. The treatment is good, it's much better."

  Nuan Nuan grasped my hand, "Liu Liu, you really like that place."

  I nodded "I'm here, nothing is going smoothly, I've had enough, I'm really depressed. And it's true depression. I like that place"

  "Why?"

  "Because there are many unforgettable memories for me there."

  "And Yu Wu, right?" Nuan Nuan lifted her head, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.

  I suddenly remembered Yu Wu, thought for a moment, turned around, and wrapped my arms around Nuan "Don't worry, I won't do anything to betray you."

  "But I'm worried."

  "Don't worry anymore, be at ease."

  "Wang Yue." Nuan Nuan raised her head "If you really wronged me, what can I do?"

  "It won't happen, definitely won't happen, don't worry."

  Nuan Nuan suddenly smiled and said "Liu Liu, I believe you, if it's mine, then it's mine. If it's not mine, no matter how hard I try to keep it, it won't be of any use."

  "Don't worry, I won't go see her."

  "It's still necessary to meet." Nuan said warmly and calmly.

  I was stunned for a moment "Don't worry, it's gone."

  She smiled and said, "If you don't see each other, your heart will always be thinking about it. Let's go see together. Many things need to be clarified and explained clearly."

  I remained silent and didn't say anything.

  "Why aren't you saying anything?" Nuan Nuan hugged my arm "Don't have confidence in yourself, huh?"

  "What will be the outcome if there is no confidence?"

  "Either the chicken flies and the egg breaks, or the evening is gloomy."

  "Why can't it be you."

  "Because I won't argue with her, if you really want to leave, I definitely won't stop you."

  I smiled, hugged Nuan Nuan, lightly kissed her earlobe, and started to nibble slowly. Nuan Nuan wrapped her arms around my neck, gently blew air into my ear. Slowly, we began to kiss. I held Nuan Nuan tightly, laid her down on the bed.

  As I gazed into her warm and hazy eyes, I leaned in closer. With a casual hand, I turned off the small desk lamp, letting the moonlight from outside cast its glow.

  Endless passion.

  Actually, I still had some insomnia when I slept at night, but looking at Nuan Nuan snuggled in my arms, her long eyelashes, sleeping so soundly, I didn't want to move, afraid of waking her up. Feeling like I'm about to return soon, I'm a bit happy. Xiao Chao, Yuan Yuan, Chen Yang, Shi Tai, Lin Yifei, Hui Xu, Xi Yu, Lin Ran, Xiao Mengmeng, that place filled with endless memories, I'm coming back! Just thinking about it makes me happy and excited.

  As for Qin Xuan's matter, I still don't plan to tell Liu Peng about it. I feel sorry for Liu Peng. In this city, the only person who truly treated us well and helped us with all his might is because of his older brother's words. But I'm still grateful to him, he's a local, and Gao Jian is also a local. Qin Xuan and I can finish our business and leave, but I think Liu Peng definitely cannot. So it's better not to bother him.

  As for Qin Xuan, I understand that he must have already made very careful plans. He's the one who wants revenge the most. Looking at this house, if only we hadn't rented it for so long, what a waste! As for our days here, everyone has set up stalls, sold clothes, worked as internet managers, waited tables... all sorts of things, and we've established very deep feelings. Now that we're going to start anew together, with Qin Xuan added to the mix, we'll be sharing joys and hardships - this is life.

  There's a New Year's atmosphere, but it's also depressing. I still don't know how to tell my parents about this. They must not know yet that their son hasn't gone to school for over two months now. Their son is going to drop out of school.

  Yang Qiong and Bo Long, both from the east, are homeless, I want to be with them. Nuan Nuan will definitely follow me, but Qin Xuan is unknown. Pangzi Tao, probably about the same. And I still don't know how to tell my family. Let's take it one step at a time.

  In short, this half year has been a very bumpy ride in life, having been beaten and bullied, experiencing many things that I had never imagined before.

  On a very cold night, for clothes that cost dozens of yuan each, a group of people froze to the point of numbness. In the end, they didn't even make much money. Fortunately, all this has passed, and I have come to realize many harsh realities, including the betrayal of sworn brothers from before. Thinking about Qi Hao, my heart still feels some hidden pain. The only cost of growing up is pain.

  I don't know when I fell asleep, but I had a very comfortable sleep and slept until I woke up naturally. It's a very happy thing. Since becoming the network administrator, every morning at 8 o'clock, I have to go on duty on time, which is really hard to bear. Thinking about it, soon it will be our turn for my colleague Bole and me to switch to night shift, then we two won't do it anymore. I don't know if the other group will get angry with us.

  It was a relief to quit the internet cafe. The two of us didn't even want one cent, but the boss of the internet cafe is still a very conscientious person. After all, it's not like they can't afford our salaries with daily sales of over a thousand yuan. He gave each of us 500 yuan, which was half a month's salary. We were quite grateful to the boss. There are still many good people in this world.

  Pangzi Tao also settled part of the expenses on his side. Qin Xuan went out early in the morning and didn't know what to do, and he hadn't seen anyone all along.

  At noon when we were having lunch, except for Qin Xuan, everyone else gathered together and pooled all the money they had, which was less than 2,000 yuan. This would be our group's living expenses from now on.

  Everyone is a bit melancholic, and the atmosphere is strange. It's probably because we just stabilized and now have to drift again.

  It was almost afternoon when Qin Xuan returned. He came back while we were playing cards. He was carrying a leather bag in his hand.

  "Xuan Ge, you're back."

  Qin Xuan nodded and said "Damn it" under his breath.

  "What's wrong?"

  Qin Xuan took a deep breath. "Damn it, that little brat Gao Jian has gone out, don't know what he's doing, seems like he won't be back until after the New Year."

  "So?"

  "Look at you guys, so now you're not leaving, anyway the New Year is almost here. Now whatever we do will be strictly checked, let's just lay low for a while and talk about it after the New Year."

  "Then we don't have to go?" Huo Koudong asked with some delight.

  Qin Xuan thought for a moment and nodded "Not needed for now."

  "Haha." Yang Qiong also laughed "I was just saying, so much money renting a house, and it's wasted like this. Let's continue, let's continue."

  "Uh, after the New Year's, I'll ask around about Gao Jian." As he said this, Qin Xuan casually pulled out a leather bag from his hand and placed it in front of us. "I've found someone to bring this out for me, so let's just put it aside for now. I won't be polite with you guys anymore. Let's go out tonight and find a barbecue stall to have a good drink. During the New Year's, I won't be going back home either. We can all spend the holiday together here."

  "It's okay." I smiled. "Since we're not leaving now, let's just wait and see. If we take care of each other, we should do it thoroughly for Gao Jian's sake. The problem is, since we want to stay here, what should we do? Our living expenses, with so many people, are almost two thousand in total. We have to go out and earn money, otherwise, this amount of money will only last us half a month at most."

  Qin Xuan thought for a moment "Have I used up all the ones I took out before?"

  "Uh, we make around two hundred yuan per day on average."
