Chapter 73
Yu Qiao waited downstairs in the dormitory until Xie Bufei.
In the evening, the sky was gloomy, and a ray of setting sun burned deep in the clouds, dyeing the sky with a large gradient of golden red.The long tree-lined road is covered with snow, and the whole world is covered with snow.
A slender figure appeared at the end of the road, holding a red umbrella with one hand in his pocket.
In the pale snow, the dazzling red is the only bright color, like a bush of wild roses blooming on the frozen snow field, eye-catching, magnificent and thrilling.
Seeing the figure waiting downstairs in the dormitory, Xie Bufei paused and ran over in small steps on the snow.
She flew into Yu Qiao's arms like a bird with spread wings.
The red umbrella was dropped casually and landed at his feet.
"Did you wait a long time?"
Yu Qiao was knocked back a few steps, put her arms around her waist, hugged her tightly, and said, "...not long."
Xie Bufei stretched out his hand to hook her neck, leaned his chin on her shoulder, and kissed Yu Qiao's side face lightly.
She backed away a little, a little snow fell on her black hair, and her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were immersed in the lemon-yellow light and shadow at dusk, dim and warm.
Onion-like fingers lightly tapped the tip of Yu Qiao's nose, and Xie Bufei raised her eyes: "Why does Xiaomu look unhappy?"
Because a lot of things happened today.
Yu Qiao originally wanted to tell her that she received a call from Yu Chongming, that something seemed to have happened between Ning Zhuoya and Xie Ke, Xie Ke was planning something, it was terrible...
But when she saw Xie Bufei's gentle smiling face, her heart throbbed suddenly, she didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to hug her tightly.
Seeing her silence, Xie Bufei took the initiative to change the topic, and said softly: "It's cold outside, let's go up first."
Yu Qiao whispered, "Okay."
When I came to the third floor, the corridor was empty, and Ning Zhuoya had disappeared, and I don't know where she went.
Pushing open the door of the 401 dormitory, Xie Bufei put down his luggage, opened the curtains, let the setting sun diffuse into the glass windows, unfolded the red umbrella and hung it on the balcony.
Wherever she went, Yu Qiao followed her closely, looking very clingy.
After closing the balcony door, slender arms wrapped around her from behind.Yu Qiao lowered her head, buried her face on Xie Bufei's shoulder and rubbed it.
Xie Bufei turned her face to the side and smiled lightly: "Are you afraid that I will get lost?"
Yu Qiao said sullenly, "...um."
Xie Bufei gently flicked the hair on the top of her head with her fingers, and her voice became gentle: "What's the matter, what happened today?"
Yu Qiao picked the good things first and said, "My mother agreed with my idea."
Xie Bufei smiled and said: "It's good, Auntie finally figured it out."
Yu Qiao added: "She also asked me to find time to take you home for a meal."
Xie Bufei blinked, with a bit of shyness on her face: "Is this...meeting the parents?"
She blushed, twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers, and said pretending to be coy: "I hate it, I'm not ready yet."
Yu Qiao laughed, knowing that she was making her happy again, so she cooperated and said, "It's just eating and chatting together. If my sister doesn't want to, then go later."
"It's not impossible to go early," Xie Bufei changed the subject, with a serious face, "I'll start preparing now."
Yu Qiao pressed her cheek against her warm side of her neck, and said softly, "There's no rush, wait until the matter is finished."
Xie Bufei said lightly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yu Qiao was silent, and asked: "Today, did the blind date go well?"
Xie Bufei's dark eyes rolled around, and she replied reservedly: "It's okay."
Yu Qiao who was behind her didn't see her expression, she pursed her lips and said, "What did you guys talk about?"
Xie Bufei smirked: "Talk about everything, from poetry to philosophy of life."
The tip of Yu Qiao's nose twitched, her voice weakened: "...you hit her so well?"
"It's not that exaggerated."
Xie Bufei turned around and saw Yu Qiao with her eyes lowered, her head listless, frail and depressed like a large dog abandoned by its owner.
She was dumbfounded, cupped Yu Qiao's cheeks with both hands, and coaxed softly: "Oh! Baby, baby, I was joking, I didn't hit it off with her, don't take it seriously."
Yu Qiao lowered her head, not knowing what was wrong with herself, her mood fell to the bottom, and she said, "You and her family are similar, so we should be able to chat easily."
Xie Bufei caught a trace of sourness from her dry voice, and her heart twitched violently a few times.
Yu Qiao never told her about this.
She acted strong and gentle, as if she could overcome everything.
It wasn't until this moment that Xie Bufei realized that she also cared about the family gap between them and the disparity in their identities.
But she has always ignored this layer of emotion, thinking that Yu Qiao doesn't care.
Xie Bufei's face was tinged with panic, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she looked at her eagerly: "That's not the case, I didn't say a few words with her, really, really! Quietly, I like you, I've always only liked you."
Yu Qiao raised her eyes to look at her, the eyes behind the transparent lenses were watery: "Why does my sister like me?"
Xie Bufei approached her, gently took off Yu Qiao's glasses with both hands, and spoke softly as if she was afraid of disturbing a bird: "Because you are very good. You are so outstanding, you have good grades, and you are so cute. Every time I talk to you Together, I feel very comfortable, I can only chat with you, I don't care about others."
Her warm lips pressed against Yu Qiao's cheek, and she murmured softly: "...Only in front of you, I am the most free."
The sour and soft emotions hit the heart, seeping into the defenseless vitals little by little.
Yu Qiao closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, sister. I'm in a bad mood today, I shouldn't have said these things."
"It's my fault, I shouldn't be joking around." Xie Bufei kissed her delicately, her long eyelashes trembling, "Quietly, don't be sad. If you are sad, my sister will be sad too."
Yu Qiao nodded obediently, tilted her head and kissed her lips.
The lips were sucked gently, with a very cherished and cautious intimacy.
With her lips parted, Xie Bufei lifted Yu Qiao's hair and put it behind her ears gently, her eyes were bright: "Did you experience anything today?"
Yu Qiao was silent for a moment, and then poured out everything.
Xie Bufei felt sour and angry, and finally understood why Yu Qiao was so disappointed today, she put her arms around Yu Qiao's waist and asked, "Your father is really not a good person."
Yu Qiao squinted her eyes and leaned on her shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I've figured it out, if he wants money, I'll give it to him."
Xie Bufei paused: "...Do you really want to give it to him?"
"Yeah." Yu Qiao said, "But there is a price."
"For Xie Ke's matter, the evidence is not sufficient, and the law is not enough to convict him. We need to get the monitoring of the coffee shop, including the time she talked with He Li before." She said, "Xie Ke must have another plan. Let's wait a little longer, don't startle the snake."
"Okay, it's all up to you." Xie Bufei smiled, with a gentle voice, "I will arrange the surveillance video."
Yu Qiao pressed her fair side face and said softly, "Thank you sister."
"Thank you." Xie Bufei stood up straight, the dim sunlight outside the window fell into her translucent eyes, like the shining sea surface under the setting sun, "Quietly, you don't need to be so polite, and don't mind the gap between us, Since I chose you, you are the best in my eyes. No one can match you."
Yu Qiao looked at her upturned nose, and her cheeks dyed red by the setting sun, she couldn't be more beautiful.Emotions surged in her heart, and she murmured: "...how can I be so good?"
In her heart, Xie Bufei is the better person. She only feels that she has many shortcomings, such as not being smart enough, not understanding style, clumsy and stubborn, which is quite boring in the eyes of many people.
"Yes." Xie Bufei kissed her lips and opened her arms, "Come, give me a hug."
Yu Qiao hugged her tightly again, Xie Bufei's breath was close to her ear, and the latter smiled softly, "It's not like the Quiet I usually know."
"Don't sway your choice because of everything that happened. Be yourself, walk the path you want to go, and I will always be behind you."
Yu was quiet, and the arms around her waist gradually tightened: "Sister, I will become better."
Xie Bufei patted her on the head, eyebrows and eyes curved: "Well, I'll wait."
……
The next morning, Yu Qiao received a second call from Yu Chongming.
She avoided Yao Rudong and Lu Yun, and went to the rooftop to answer the phone.
"Hello? Yu Qiao, I'm at the gate of your school. Come out and let's talk face to face."
Looking at the school gate from a distance, Yu Qiao said almost calmly, "I won't see you."
Yu Chongming was already prepared, and sneered: "Okay, then I'll put up a banner at the gate of your school to publicize how A's college bully abandoned her father as a white-eyed wolf, until you are willing to come out."
Yu Qiao took a deep breath, clenched the iron guardrail, and said coldly, "Don't you just want money?"
Yu Chongming was surprised by her frankness, and laughed casually: "Yes, I really want money. I can hardly afford food now, you old man, do you know what kind of life we live every day?"
"How much do you want?"
The winter wind was blowing fast, and Yu Chongming was wrapped in a torn coat and stood in a shelter from the wind. Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and said vaguely, "Let's get 50 first."
"Okay." Yu Qiao said, "When you get 50, don't bother me and mom again."
Yu Chongming was overjoyed, and smiled perfunctorily, "I know, I know."
Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Your bank card number."
Yu Chongming kept a string of numbers fluently, Yu Qiao memorized it in her heart, and hung up the phone.
Hearing the familiar busy tone on the receiver, he cursed: "Fuck, I won't be fucked, right?"
In the afternoon, Yu Chongming received a transfer of 50 yuan.
He stared at the text message from the bank for a long time, almost in disbelief: "It's really transferred?!"
Yu Chongming immediately called the bank's customer service, and after careful confirmation for a long time, it turned out to be true.
developed!
A burst of ecstasy filled his heart instantly, and Yu Chongming jumped up from the iron bed in the dormitory, circling around the room like a headless chicken.
"Brother Yu, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Xu, who was in the same dormitory, looked at him puzzled and said, "Did you win the lottery?"
Yu Chongming suppressed his smile and said lightly, "No."
He wouldn't show his wealth so clearly.
Chen Xu didn't care too much, and said, "The contractor said that he will settle the wages in arrears in the next few days. Everyone is discussing going to drink together. Brother Yu, do you want to go and have fun?"
After Yu Chongming was released from prison, he was repeatedly rebuffed in interviews. In the end, he had no choice but to move bricks at the construction site near University A. The salary was average, but food and housing were included.
He originally wanted to reject Chen Xu, but after thinking about it, he hadn't relaxed for several days, and it's okay to go and have fun, anyway, now that he has a lot of money, he asked, "Where should we go for a drink?"
Chen Xu smiled mischievously: "You will know at night."
At night, the bar street behind the construction site is particularly lively, with neon lights shining brightly.
Yu Chongming followed the crowd and walked into a small bar. The lights and shadows were psychedelic, and the crowd on the dance floor was intoxicated.
The brothers who usually move bricks together greeted one after another: "Brother Yu, do you want to drink? It's so boring not to drink. Come and have a drink!"
Yu Chongming couldn't evade it, was down several bottles, and collapsed on the sofa drunkenly.
The atmosphere was hot, and someone suggested: "It's boring to drink so dry, why not play something exciting?"
Yu Chongming was dazed and dazed. After a while, he saw Chen Xu leaning over and asked, "Brother Yu, do you want to play?"
"playing what?"
Chen Xu looked around and lowered his voice: "Bet the size."
Hearing the word gambling, Yu Chongming was aroused reflexively, and immediately started to itch.He suppressed his thoughts and shook his head again and again: "No gambling, no gambling."
Everyone chattered: "It's okay, just give it a try, it's only 100 yuan!"
"That's right, Brother Yu, don't be so boring."
100 yuan?That's really not much...
How about just playing around?
Yu Chongming thought of the money in the card, and hesitated for a moment: "Then give me some."
There was cheering all around, and the dice player sat in the middle of the sofa, staring at him: "Bet big bet small?"
Yu Chongming thought for a while and said, "It's a big bet."
The man nodded and lifted the lid.
Everyone whistled: "Hey, brother Yu is lucky!"
"Awesome, won the first round?"
Yu Chongming couldn't believe it, 100 yuan was so easy to get?Could it be that he has recently transferred?
The man looked at him and smiled, and asked, "Do you want another one?"
The people around came together one after another, and the crowd began to boo: "One more, one more!"
Yu Chongming swallowed, nodded his head: "OK."
Anyway, it's only 100 yuan, he's not losing money...
Unexpectedly, Yu Chongming won five games in a row.
"Brother Yu is awesome!"
"Come again!"
Yu Chongming also started to go up, and patted the table hard: "One more."
"Yes." The man looked at him and smiled slightly, "But this time, the chips will increase to 1000 yuan. How about it, do you dare to bet?"
Yu Chongming was stunned for a moment, and someone answered immediately: "Hey, what is one thousand, Brother Yu is lucky today, and it is no problem to win you ten thousand. Right, Brother Yu?"
Chen Xu also pushed him, eager to try: "That's right. Brother Yu, show him a hand!"
Everyone chattered, Yu Chongming gritted his teeth and shouted: "Bet it! Bet it! I bet big!"
The man nodded and lifted the lid of the cup.
The smile on Yu Chongming's face froze.
He lost.
There was a moment of silence around, and Chen Xu comforted: "It's okay, just once, next time we can win back, who can always be lucky?"
Yu Chongming couldn't hold back, and motioned him: "Come again."
The man smiled and asked, "Big or small?"
Yu Chongming hesitated for a moment and said, "Small."
Lifting the lid, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This time I won.
"Hey, you made a net profit of [-] this night." Someone laughed, "Can't you earn [-] with a few more hands?"
The man looked at him: "Are you still here?"
Yu Chongming was eager to move, and said, "Come again."
"Big."
"Small."
"Big……"
Yu Chongming stared at the two dice under the lid with red eyes.
I don't know why, from just now to now, he has lost ten games in a row.
And the chips unknowingly increased to [-].
Chen Xu couldn't stand it anymore, pulled his arm, and whispered, "Brother Yu, don't bet..."
Yu Chongming gritted his teeth: "No, come again."
He has already lost so much, and he is not reconciled if he does not win back.
The man fiddled with the dice and looked at him casually: "Now the chips have increased to [-], dare to play?"
"Play."
"Okay," the man smiled, without any nonsense, "big or small?"
"Big!"
With slender fingers, he opened the lid of the cup, and seeing the completely opposite result, Yu Chongming's eyes were tearing apart: "Are you fucking cheating?"
"I don't." The man looked at him innocently, turned the tray over, and said, "Look, it's clean."
Yu Chongming stared at him viciously, and slapped the sofa: "Come again."
……
After another five losses, he sat in a daze.The bustling crowd was completely quiet just now, staring at him coldly with pairs of eyes.
The man held a cigarette between his fingers, puffed out the clouds, his side face was blurred in light and darkness: "Give me the money."
"I have no money..." Yu Chongming clenched his teeth, as if falling into an ice cave, "I don't know anything, I have no money!"
Not only did he lose all the money he won, he didn't even have a penny left of Cary's 50!
There was a burst of booing around: "Brother Yu, you are so boring, I am willing to admit defeat."
"That's right, an Alpha, without such shameless behavior."
Yu Chongming pointed at them with red eyes, tremblingly: "You, you..."
"No money?"
The tall man on the opposite side stood up with a blank expression on his face.
Two big men in black immediately appeared behind him, bowed their heads and said, "Boss Cheng."
"Drag him out." With a cigarette in his mouth, Cheng Yeli pondered casually, then smiled lazily, "Don't hit him too obviously, save half your life."
……
When Yu Chongming woke up, he was lying next to the garbage dump in the alley.
The cold snowflakes fell on him and woke him up.
A stray dog ran over from the side, lowered his head and sniffed at him, and stepped back a few steps, as if disgusted.
Yu Chongming moved his arm, and he found himself in severe pain all over his body, almost falling apart, and his coat disappeared, leaving only one piece of underwear on his body.
His hands and feet were bruised from the cold, and he almost lost consciousness.
He stared wide-eyed, looking at the stray dog in front of him, his lips trembling: "Get out, get out!"
The dirty dog bared its teeth at him, stretched out its paws to rub the dirty water on him, then turned away in disdain.
Yu Chongming was trembling with anger, and after exhausting his strength for a long time, he finally sat up. He felt as if his hands and feet had been broken, and he felt a heart-piercing pain.
Tried to call an ambulance, but my bank card and cell phone were in my coat and are gone now.He also has no money to pay for medical bills.
He has nothing left now.
Deep in the alley, the man burst out crying in pain.
