Chapter 1:
At the end of August, the scorching sun was scorching hot, and the heat solidified together, making it sticky and stuffy.
Until a few days before the start of school, several heavy rains poured down, and the temperature dropped a few degrees.
Two thirty in the afternoon.
Lin Yujing stood at the entrance of the shopping mall, watching the rain splashing on the flat slate floor outside, splashing water, splashing the shoes of the people standing outside.
After ten minutes of waiting, the rain continued unabated.
Lin Yujing took the shopping bag in one hand and pulled out his mobile phone. After confirming that there were no calls or messages, he walked to the huge glass door in the corner. The bag was hanging on his arm. The frame of the camera's viewfinder is raised in front of you, and one eye is closed.
There are many high-rise buildings, shopping malls are across the street, different styles of storefronts are opened in the store, the huge sign of Starbucks across the street is soaked in heavy rain, the green mermaid seems to have sunk into the sea, and the whole picture is full of wet, Grey prosperity.
Familiar and unfamiliar environment.
Lin Yujing only arrived in City A two days ago.
Three months ago, she witnessed Lin Zhi and Meng Weiguo's entangled marriage finally come to an end.
The two had a fight before their divorce.
Because of Lin Yujing's custody.
At 6:30 in the evening, on the second day after the decision to divorce, the three of them sat at the dining table and ate the last meal of their family of three. From the house, property and RV to Lin Yujing, Lin Zhi's expression was very calm throughout the whole process. A numb indifference: "The house you live in belongs to you, and I don't want the car. Take the child with you."
Meng Weiguo was satisfied when he heard the first half of the sentence, but as soon as the second half came out, he frowned: "What do I mean by taking the child away?"
Lin Zhi was a little impatient: "I don't have time to care."
"What do you mean when you don't have time? I have time when you don't have time?"
"You're quite good," Lin Zhi sneered, "After so many years of soft rice, you're finally pretending to be a busy person?"
Meng Weiguo's face turned red for a while, and stared at her angrily. He took a deep breath to calm down: "Lin Zhi, everyone has a good time today. I don't want to quarrel with you, I hope we can respect each other."
Lin Zhi raised her eyebrows: "Why, now I think of talking about respect with me? Why didn't I see that you wanted this face when you were married to our house?"
Meng Weiguo couldn't bear it any longer, he slammed the table down with a bang, and the man stood up.
Lin Zhi also stood up immediately, the horn of war was blown, the two began to quarrel in the dark, and the food and meals on the table were smashed.
Lin Yu crossed Erlang's legs in fright, poked the white rice in his bowl with chopsticks, just propped his chin up and watched a new round of quarrel broke out between the two over who should be in charge of the child. He didn't even shy away from it. Her faces began to push away from each other.
It's as if she is a dog, doesn't understand people's words, no one cares, and her emotions don't need to be taken care of at all.
Meng Weiguo is in the family.
Lin Zhi's family has been in business for three generations and is very rich. Meng Weiguo and her are college classmates. They were admitted to the city from the countryside.
Eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, wearing a white washed cotton T-shirt, handsome appearance, tall and straight, looking aloof and handsome.
Being pursued by such a boy, there is no girl who will not be tempted, and Lin Zhi is no exception.
The poor student and Miss Qianjin are in love and get married, and the ending is not necessarily good.
From Lin Yujing's memory, her father and mother seemed to be different from other people's. She could see that Lin Zhi had already hated Meng Weiguo, and her extreme hatred for this man had worn away the only thing she had left for her children. little love.
Lin Yujing originally thought that she would be a little sad when she was abandoned by her parents as a burden.
However, when she really saw this scene, she didn't feel anything.
It's like killing a barrel of spirits in one breath, and the tongue and brain are so numb that they don't feel the slightest bit, and the wood is gone.
Meng Weiguo did not insist on fighting against Lin Zhi.
Lin Zhi's family has all kinds of money and background, and if he goes head-to-head, it's a dead end. In the end, Lin Yu was shocked and returned to him. Lin Zhi paid her a fixed amount of alimony every month.
Mr. Meng Weiguo quickly got out of the shadow of the previous failed marriage. One month after the divorce, he took Lin Yu to meet his new girlfriend Guan Xiangmei. The two developed rapidly and had their first five-year plan. After getting married, they moved to this place. Women come from the city, and they are very skilled in getting married.
Lin Yujing only thought that it was good to be handsome and able to speak well. There were so many stupid rich women willing to marry him.
The day after she was sent here, the two went on their honeymoon. Before leaving, Guan Xiangmei looked at her with a smile: "In the future, you will treat this place as your home."
Lin Yu nodded in shock.
"My son has been out with his classmates for the past two days. He should be back tomorrow. I have already told him that he will take care of you while we are away. He will be your brother in the future. I will take care of you later. Give him the phone number, and you can contact yourself." Guan Xiangmei continued.
"…"
Lin Yujing didn't really want to get in touch with her son, but she didn't want to destroy this seemingly harmonious family atmosphere, so she nodded quietly.
Sure enough, Guan Xiangmei was very satisfied and said, "You can tell Aunt Zhang if you have anything. You don't have to be embarrassed or restrained. Everyone likes you very much."
"…"
Lin Yu gave him a startled look and almost wrote "Now any pheasant can hold a daughter", "The father who eats soft rice brings his daughter to divide the family property" and "You don't want to take a penny" engraved on his forehead. Auntie, I think Guan Xiangmei's eyes may be a little awkward.
The air-conditioning in the shopping mall is too full, and it still feels hot at first, and even the rain is warm, as if it will evaporate into the air before it falls.
Lin Yujing looked at the rain screen with no expression, and glanced at the time again.
It's three o'clock.
She jumped slightly, moved her legs that were a little numb, and the phone rang. It was the phone number she had just saved last night, her brother who needed to be contacted.
Lin Yu picked up the phone in shock: "Brother."
The man seemed startled by her brother's voice, and remained silent for at least ten seconds before asking, "Have you finished shopping?"
"Ok."
"I have a cold, so I won't pick you up." My brother said coldly.
"…"
Lin Yujing felt that her positioning for herself was quite accurate. She has always been a very real person, and disdain to play tricks with anyone, and this person's acting skills are so poor.
Those who didn't know thought your surname was Lin, Jiao Hua'er Sister Lin.
She is very concerned about his condition: "Is it serious, how much is it?"
The little girl's voice was a little cautious, soft and pleasant, and the other side was silent for another ten seconds, and her voice hesitated: "Forty."
"…"
"Let me call 119 for you." Lin Yujing said sincerely.
Fire alarm phone number, 119.
The man hangs up the phone.
Lin Yujing put down the phone, raised his head, looked at the heavy rain that seemed to be able to pierce the slate floor, and rolled his eyes.
Lin Yujing's new home is in the villa area, in the city center, two blocks away is a dilapidated old-fashioned residential building.
There are generally two types of people who live in the center of such a big city. One is so poor that there is only a small house in the alley left, and the other is so rich that he can buy a luxury house of 20,000 to 300,000 square meters.
Halfway through the car, the rain stopped, and the air was mixed with the moist smell of soil. Lin Yu was shocked at the thought of staying with her sickly "brother" who had never met her before and Aunt Zhang who had eyes on her forehead. The child was out of breath, and got out of the car directly behind that old-fashioned residential building, intending to get lost in this unfamiliar environment for two hours before going back.
Every place has such a piece, the old house, the old walls and wooden windows, the crimson paint is peeling off piece by piece, and the long poles are pulled out from the windows to hang all kinds of sheets and clothes. Ancient heritage and aura feel.
Lin Yujing walked forward through the narrow alley. Sure enough, there were a few low-key studio stores in the outermost circle. She glanced briefly and continued to walk inside.
Wandering around while singing the theme song of SpongeBob SquarePants, he turned to the left of his head and saw a black iron door.
The single-opening door, pure black, is half-closed, and a string of English is painted on the door with white paint.
It looks a bit like the entrance to a haunted house.
Lin Yu was startled and walked over to see what the letters were painted on.
—TATTOO.
Tattoo shop?
The iron door is not high, she is padding her feet, and inside is a small courtyard of about three or four square meters, facing a wooden door with a very complicated totem-like thing engraved on the wooden sign.
Lin Yujing was deeply attracted by this tattoo parlor with "I'm very cool but I'm very low-key" written inside and out. She hesitated for a few seconds, raised her hand, stretched out an index finger, and gently Pushing on the black iron door, there was a soft creaking sound, and it passed through a long, long stroke.
The small courtyard was only the size of a palm, and the growth trajectory of the plants inside looked wild.
Lin Yu was startled and walked to the door and pushed the door in. The room was dimly lit, with a dim yellow glow, and the dark gray walls were covered with red tapestries and densely packed tattoos, which were beautiful and detailed.
She raised her head to look around, turned around, and stopped.
I just found out that someone was in the house.
The corner behind the door is blocked by the door panel, and the line of sight is blind, and you can't see it as soon as you come in.
The dark gray couch, the thick carpet, and countless cushions and pillows were thrown in a mess. There were one, two, three, three people sitting on the sofa. Braided mop head, tattooed with intricate flower arms like triplets.
Three fancy mops stared straight at her, motionless, and the atmosphere was strange. One of them kept a cigarette with one hand to his lips, and stopped in mid-air, with the cigarette holder hanging on his lips for three The position of centimeters, as if someone pressed the pause button.
Then, Mop No. 1's eyeballs moved, from her face, down, to her clothes.
Lin Yu was shocked and couldn't understand why the three mops looked like they were watching gorillas in a zoo. Those strange and strange eyes almost made her think she just came in streaking singing about the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
She was glanced at by three social people for five or six seconds, and raised her hand a little embarrassedly: "...Hi?"
With a click, the air began to flow again, and Mop No. 1, who was sitting on the carpet on the sofa, bit the cigarette into his mouth, and poked his back with his striped elbow: "Lord Tired."
Lin Yu was shocked to see that there was a fourth person on the couch.
It's no wonder her eyesight is bad. The fourth person in the illusion is covered with a dark gray blanket, covering his waist and abdomen, and a pair of dark gray trousers, which is completely integrated into the sofa of the same color. A pillow, he slept motionless, and was mostly blocked by his mop friend, so he couldn't really see it at a glance.
The man was poked for a long time and still did not respond, lying on the sofa like a corpse, like a noble sleeping beauty.
Mop No. 1 called him again: "Shen Jian."
Sleeping Beauty squirmed, snorted from her nose, and straightened her long leg that was dorsiflexed against the sofa, turned her face in and continued to sleep.
The blanket was still draped over his head, it looked quite thick, and Lin Yujing was afraid that he would suffocate himself to death.
Mop No. 1 clicked his tongue, twisted his body, and slapped his **** twice: "Don't **** sleep, get up and pick up the guests."
Sleeping Beauty was disturbed several times in her sleep, and then let the handsome man attack her buttocks, swearing swear words, raised her hand and grabbed a pillow and smashed it at the person next to her, her voice was as tired as his name. Intentionally, hoarse and impatient: "I'll pick up your mother, get out."
"…"
A very grumpy social brother.
The author has something to say:
Today is an **** society I am tired of.
Lin Yujing: I'm a very real person, I'm really not a showgirl (?
