Duan Jiaxu: "It seems that I am accompanying someone to the interview."

"Ah?" Sang Zhi thought for a while, "Is it the job interview?"

"Um."

"Isn't my brother just a junior in college now? Why is he looking for a job?"

"Internship." Duan Jiaxu said, "As long as it doesn't affect the course, you can do the internship anytime you want."

Sang Zhi groaned, stared at Duan Jiaxu's black T-shirt that was bulging in the wind, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, aren't you going to do an internship?"

"Well, I still have classes this semester."

"Then when do you plan to go for internship?"

"Next semester, or wait until senior year."

"Looking for it near the school?"

"No." Duan Jiaxu turned around and said casually, "Go home and look for him over there."

"..."

The wind was penetrated by the cold air and slapped her face. Sang Zhi was stunned for a while, her heart felt a little empty, she hummed quietly and asked again: "Brother, don't you plan to stay here in Nanwu in the future?"

"Yeah." Duan Jiaxu smiled lightly, "Brother has to go home."

Sang Zhi: "Oh."

after awhile.

Sang Zhi asked again: "Brother, when do you plan to go home?"

"Huh? Why do you have so many problems today?" But he didn't seem to be impatient, and replied slowly, "It depends on the situation. I haven't thought about it."

Afraid of making him unhappy, Sang Zhi asked the last question cautiously: "Are you coming back before the end of the year?"

Duan Jiaxu: "I won't come back."

"..."

Why don't you go home during the Chinese New Year...

Sang Zhi was a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask again.

Unconsciously, they arrived downstairs at Sang Zhi's house. Duan Jiaxu stopped the car, turned to look at her, and asked, "Can I go up there?"

Sang Zhi nodded, said "Thank you, brother", and then limped towards the door.

After walking a few steps, Duan Jiaxu stopped her and said, "Wait a moment."

Sang Zhi stopped and turned around.

Duan Jiaxu walked up to her and bent down.

The street lamp next to her was blocked by the lush leaves. Most of the light was blocked, and her field of vision became a little dark. Sang Zhi could feel that he seemed to have stuffed something into her pocket.

Just when she was about to turn it out and read it, Duan Jiaxu raised his hand and pinched her face to divert her attention, and then reminded her again: "Remember to tell your parents when you go back."

"……oh."

After arriving home, it was just time for dinner.

Sang Zhi mentioned this matter to her parents at the dinner table, which shocked them both.

Li Ping immediately contacted the teacher. Sang Rong asked her some details and gently comforted her so that she didn't have to be afraid.

Sang Zhi was indeed not afraid and nodded frequently. After eating, she went back to her room and prepared to do her homework. As soon as she turned out her homework, she suddenly remembered that she was downstairs just now and subconsciously touched her pocket.

Like a piece of paper?

Sang Zhi took it out.

At first glance, it was twenty yuan a piece.

It looked a little old, with wrinkles on all four corners, so it was obviously not hers. But with this extra money in her pocket, it was as if she had not been blackmailed or robbed of money today.

It's like nothing bad happened.

It seemed like he was using this method to comfort her very purely.

Sang Zhi stared at it for a long time, then jumped onto the bed and rolled herself into the quilt, feeling the air being sucked out little by little. She didn't stick her head out until her face turned red from holding it in.

Staring at the ceiling, he laughed out loud for no reason.

Then, Sang Zhi got up, flattened the twenty-dollar bill, and pressed it into his drawing board. Then he took out his mobile phone from his schoolbag and found Duan Jiaxu's number.

Notice that the location of his number is Yihe City.

It seems to be from another province.

Sang Zhi had heard of this place, but had never been there. She thought about it and searched online for the distance between Nanwu and this city. It still took three hours to fly there.

It seems a bit far.

Sang Zhi hesitated for a moment, then searched for universities in Yihe City. She turned over and over again for a while before lying down on the table irritably. She noticed the star paper next to her, took one out at random, sat up straight, and absentmindedly turned to the white paper.

There is writing on one side.

——"I won't play with Yin Zhenru anymore."

She quickly folded it into a star and threw it into the milk bottle. Then, she took out another piece. This time, her writing speed slowed down and her writing was extremely slow.

After a long time.

The bottle that recorded her life.

Once again, she put in the biggest secret of her adolescence.

——"Although I don't want to admit it, I seem to really like someone."

She fell in love with her brother's friend, a man seven years older than her.

At the age of her first love.

School is over the next day.

Sang Zhi was doing her homework in class as usual, waiting for Sang Yan to come up and take her home. This time, she didn't have to wait until five o'clock as usual. After half past four, Sang Zhi saw Sang Yan's figure.

He also brought two of his roommates over.

One is Duan Jiaxu and the other is Chen Junwen.

It was as if he had come to pick her up and gather a table of people to play mahjong.

Sang Zhi quickly packed up her things and moved closer to Sang Yan. She secretly looked at Duan Jiaxu out of the corner of her eye. She quickly looked away and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why did you bring someone else with you today?"

Sang Yan glanced at her: "Didn't the people who blackmailed you yesterday ask you to come over today?"

Sang Zhi nodded: "What's wrong?"

"lead the way."

"..."

Thinking of the three girls yesterday and looking at the three tall men in front of her, Sang Zhi was speechless: "Don't go there..."

"Kid." Sang Yan pulled her face hard, "I've never experienced being bullied and still endure it. Do you understand?"

Chen Junwen echoed from the side: "That's right!"

Duan Jiaxu just laughed.

"..." Sang Zhi glanced at the three of them and said, "Oh."

Sang Zhi silently led them to the door of the alley.

Sang Yan: "Kid, what do those people look like? Don't go in."

Sang Zhi: "Three girls."

"..." Sang Yan paused, "Female?"

"Hmm. That boss is half a head taller than me, and his hair is burgundy." Sang Zhi thought for a moment, "his face looks like a palette."

Chen Junwen's arrogance was mostly gone: "Female...female kind of affects my performance."

Sang Yan sneered: "It doesn't matter whether he is a boy or a girl."

It seems like the challenge has suddenly been lost.

Chen Junwen felt that it was a bit embarrassing for three grown men to go in to find trouble for three girls. Sang Yan simply let Chen Junwen stay here and look at Sang Zhi, and then went into the alley with Duan Jiaxu.

The dirty alleys are filled with the smell of sewers.

There was a stained sign hanging in the middle with the word "Internet Cafe" written on it. Maybe they heard the noise, but not long after, three girls walked out of it.

Duan Jiaxu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one, lit it, and looked casual. He put the cigarette in his mouth, half-squinted, and saw clearly the appearance of the girl standing in the front through the faint lingering smoke.

It matches the description in Sang Zhi's mouth.

He is half a head taller than her, has burgundy hair, and a face with a palette of colors.

Maybe it was because the person she saw was different from what she expected, so the girl waved her hands in disappointment, but because the person was so good-looking, she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then motioned to the other two girls to go back inside with her.
