Chapter 5 The Only Faith in the Wasteful Youth 02
She sat on the carpet with her legs hugged, feeling a little dizzy.
She didn't listen to the professor's lectures much these days, so An Yannan got angry and started to give her extra lessons. As a result, Shen Chuxue had no chance to go out on Saturdays and Sundays, not even to the library.
Shen Chuxue looked at An Yannan weakly and whispered, "Mr. Chairman, can I go to the toilet?"
"Didn't you just go there?"
"Wasn't that half an hour ago?"
An Yannan glanced at Shen Chuxue who was sitting on the carpet and trying to get out, threw a workbook over to her, and said, "Why, are you still peeing frequently and urgently?"
Unfortunately, this An Yannan is a stubborn guy who refuses to listen to anything...
She stood up with the help of the ground, picked up the exercise book, pushed An Yannan away, and sat down at the table herself: "Obey the party's arrangements. Give me three hours and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"An hour and a half."
So, the two of them stayed in the room all day without even having lunch.
After An Cenxi had a falling out with Shen Chuxue that day, she had not spoken a word to Shen Chuxue in private. However, in order to maintain the image of a good girl in front of Li Qiuhuo and An Wei, she still disguised herself well at the dinner table and called her "sister" all the time.
While spinning the pen, Shen Chuxue was distracted as usual.
Just as she was thinking about it, she smelled a refreshing fragrance. She blinked, turned her head and saw An Yannan making tea.
She likes to drink coffee, while An Yannan only drinks water or tea.
An Wei received a lot of tea as a gift from others in the business world, and they were all good teas, but he had less tea at home and seldom drank it, so it all went to An Yannan at a discount.
"Chairman An, are you making tea in my room?"
An Yannan ignored Shen Chuxue.
Feeling bored, Shen Chuxue could only turn around and continue writing the questions, but her cell phone rang next to An Yannan.
Shen Chuxue rubbed her brows and threw away the pen.
Not many people know this phone number, but it’s not too few, you can count them on one hand. But this time the number displayed was an unfamiliar number, and it was a landline number.
"Hello, are you a relative of Lin Jianluo? He is in the police station now. Could you please come over?"
In all these years, Shen Chuxue had never been anxious, and she could even handle the death of her relatives calmly. However, when she received the call from the police station, she panicked and slammed the table, almost knocking over the tea that An Yannan had just brewed.
"What did you say?"
Without letting An Yannan follow her, Shen Chuxue took a taxi to the police station alone.
She stood at the door, took a deep breath, and felt the cool scent all around her.
Her high heels tapped on the tile floor, and then she stood still and saw Lin Jianluo sitting in the corner. The boy had an unruly face, with dark blue marks at the corners of his eyes and blood at the corners of his lips. When he saw Shen Chuxue coming, he opened his mouth, but turned his head away awkwardly, facing the dusty wall.
With a cold look, Shen Chuxue saw the person who had talked about her at the station the day before.
"You are from Lin Jianluo..." The police saw that Shen Chuxue was so young and wanted to confirm it.
Shen Chuxue collected her thoughts, walked forward and said politely: "I am Lin Jianluo's...sister, I am his sister. What procedures do I need to go through?"
In the backyard of the police station, there was a rough gravel road. Lin Jianluo was standing on it, walking unsteadily, with Shen Chuxue following behind him .
"The school teacher will come to pick you up later. Talk to me nicely in the Academic Affairs Office and don't look so half dead." Shen Chuxue's words were not very pleasant to hear. God knows how panicked she was when the police called her to tell her that Lin Jianluo was in the police station.
Lin Jianluo glanced at Shen Chuxue and said, "You said you are my sister?"
She turned and walked away without listening or saying anything.
This incident caused quite a stir. It started as a quarrel at the school gate, and then passers-by called the police. The school teachers also knew about it, so as soon as this group of people came out of the police station, they went straight to the school's Academic Affairs Office and were criticized.
After many years, Shen Chuxue saw Lin Jingpeng and Anna for the first time.
Shen Chuxue stood at the corner of the stairs. No one could see her, and no one noticed her gaze.
"Are you leaving or not?" An Yannan suddenly appeared behind Shen Chuxue. This group of people were fighting and making trouble, so the student union president must come back. An Yannan was called back temporarily, and only then did he know why Shen Chuxue ran out so anxiously just now.
In front of her was an old staircase and behind her was An Yannan. Her figure was thin and lonely. Although in An Yannan's eyes she needed warmth and support so much, he was not qualified.
"Let's go." She turned around, tears in her eyes, but she forced herself to hold them back.
Originally An Yannan thought that Shen Chuxue would definitely not go out for the next two days, but just a few hours after she came back, she received a phone call and went out in a hurry again.
When she saw An Yannan at the door of the room, she was stunned for a moment, then she curled her lips and said, "An Yannan, I'm going to go out for a while, I'll do the exercises when I come back! I told you, it will take three hours!"
As soon as she went out, she saw Lin Jianluo standing opposite her, still with a bruised face. He smiled when he saw Shen Chuxue for the first time, not caring about the wound. Shen Chuxue walked over with her hands in her pockets. Because she was wearing flat shoes, she was much shorter. She couldn't even rub Lin Jianluo's head, so she could only roll her eyes.
"Why don't you admit your mistake at home? Why are you coming out here?"
"I ran away from home."
This was the second time that Lin Jianluo ran away from home. Although both times were for Shen Chuxue, this time was more serious. Even Anna said that if he didn't think well, he shouldn't come back. Lin Jingpeng must have agreed.
Shen Chuxue pondered for a long time and said, "Your bank card and passbook are in my room. I'll get them to you." After saying that, she turned around and was about to go back, but Lin Jianluo grabbed her sleeve.
Lin Jianluo looked at Shen Chuxue pitifully and said, "You keep the money. I don't want it. Please treat me to a meal."
There aren't really many restaurants near this villa area, and the nearest one is a long way off. But there is a noodle shop that was converted from an underground garage. The food is delicious. Shen Chuxue and An Yannan have been there many times before and are familiar with the owner.
"Boss, a bowl of noodles, less chili."
Seeing Lin Jianluo wolfing down his food, Shen Chuxue didn't even have the energy to get angry: "Can't you just eat at home before leaving? Have you been hungry for a whole day?"
Lin Jianluo took a tissue to wipe his mouth, his movements were still very elegant: "Who would run away from home just because they are full! I tell you, I really want to be self-reliant! I want to support you by myself!"
Shen Chuxue thought that Lin Jianluo was just acting on impulse, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, you support me... you'd better be able to support yourself! I'm going to review at home tomorrow, you stay in the dormitory and don't run around, okay? If your parents call you home, don't make a fuss, go back quickly."
This time, Lin Jianluo did not respond to the question of going home.
How can one be persuaded to give up when faced with difficulties? This is a big question.
Shen Chuxue looked at Lin Jianluo walking away in her sight, feeling a little melancholy.
She counted her steps and returned home, and saw Li Qiuhe and An Cenxi sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing. Li Qiuhe asked where Shen Chuxue had gone, and she vaguely said that she had gone to get something, and then went upstairs.
She couldn't finish the exercises at all. Her mind was full of Lin Jianluo, which was really annoying.
The next day, as soon as she opened her eyes, she was bombarded with text messages on her mobile phone. She opened the message in a daze and found that it was Lin Jianluo saying that he had found a job.
She put down her phone, tied her hair and went to wash up.
For the whole day, Shen Chuxue was under the careful instruction and supervision of the chairman of An Da. She didn't leave the room at all. She even ate when her meals were brought in. She was exhausted by the exercises. It was not until the sun was about to set that Shen Chuxue looked at An Yannan with a pitiful look and was finally let go.
The phone had been ringing all day, a few of them were calls, and the rest were WeChat and text messages. Now Shen Chuxue finally had time to take a look, and they were all from Lin Jianluo. The last WeChat was a photo of Lin Jianluo in a bar, standing in front of the bar in a waiter's uniform.
A job at a bar? How did you find such a job?
Shen Chuxue frowned and replied to the voice message, asking where Lin Jianluo was now.
It took a long time to get a reply. Lin Jianluo said he was on his way to work. He said that this job provided food and accommodation, which was pretty good. The only inconvenience was that he couldn't go back to school to sleep after work, otherwise he would rather sleep in the school dormitory.
Shen Chuxue looked at her phone, feeling very upset. After a long while, she said, "I'll go to your workplace and send me the address."
This time, Lin Jianluo refused to agree to anything and said righteously: "Girls shouldn't go to the bar alone! I may not be able to accompany you tonight. You should go to bed first and we'll talk about it tomorrow when you go to class." This was the last WeChat message, and no matter what Shen Chuxue said, Lin Jianluo didn't reply.
I don't know if Lin Jianluo was very busy that night, but Shen Chuxue never fell asleep. She lay on her side and could look at her grandmother's photo in the dark. Shen Chuxue asked herself more than once whether it was right or wrong to use Lin Jianluo to take revenge on the Lin family.
