Chapter 222. Story
Lin Yi has always disliked lying. Since the little girl asked him what he did, he just said, "I am a book seller or an old one."
The girl blinked and burst into laughter, saying, "Brother, you are really good at lying. Like you, you are not like a street stall selling books. I think you are like a teacher."
Lin Yi smiled. He told the truth but didn't believe it. He even said that he was a teacher. Does he seem to have such great knowledge?
However, what made Lin Yi feel comfortable was that the girl used "big brother" instead of "sir" in her verbal name, which made Lin Yi feel a little more natural.
"I'll tell you the truth, but you don't believe it, so I can't do anything about it." Lin Yi spread his hands and said.
The girl smiled again and said, "Brother, how much money do you earn in a month for selling books?"
Lin Yi was stunned. He had never calculated this. His book-selling business is different from others. He sets up street stalls every day. He doesn't open it, so he eats it for three years after opening it. Not to mention anything else, just the 300,000 red envelope of the Republic of China not long ago was enough to make many street stalls vomit blood. But Lin Yi felt that this kind of business was already very inconspicuous. After experiencing the ups and downs in Hong Kong, Lin Yi was also very eye-opening. He knew that this money was easy to make, not easy to make, it depends on how you make money.
Seeing Lin Yi being dazed and not speaking, the girl thought she had asked something she shouldn't ask. As the saying goes, the girl's age and the man's pocket are all taboo topics when talking.
So the girl stuck out her tongue and said, "I owe it to you, you don't need to answer this... By the way, my name is Baoer, I'll ask you to take care of you in the future."
"Baoer?" Lin Yi looked at the girl and couldn't help but feel funny. His niece was also called Baoer, and now another big Baoer appeared in front of him.
"Why, is this name very vulgar?" the girl asked when she saw Lin Yi laughing.
"No, I have a little niece named Baoer. I couldn't help but feel funny when I heard your name." Lin Yi coughed and said with a smile.
"Is that so? That's really a coincidence. It seems that you are quite destined to be with me, brother." The girl said and approached Lin Yi a little.
Lin Yi was embarrassed to move his butt. After all, girls are not afraid, so what are you afraid of as a big man?
The two of them sat side by side on the bed, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Finally, the girl spoke first and said, "Brother, who brought you here?"
Lin Yi said, "A friend, he helped to open this room."
"No wonder." The girl looked like she suddenly realized her mind, probably guessing that Lin Yi couldn't afford such a expensive room fee.
Lin Yi didn't explain, it was boring.
"Brother, isn't this kind of place comfortable to live in?"
"Yeah, that's OK."
"Then let me tell you, there are a lot of things here that you can't move casually, such as mineral water, beer and beverages in this small freezer. If you want to drink it, go out to buy it. It's so expensive here."
"Oh, is that?" Lin Yi didn't expect the girl to be so kind, and even told herself this "secret".
"Of course it's true. A bottle of mineral water here costs five yuan, a bottle of Qingdao costs fifteen yuan, and the foreign wine inside is even more expensive. Some people don't know can be opened and drunk. In the end, it cost several hundred yuan to pay, and I was stunned." The girl was nagging, completely treating Lin Yi as a poor man who had never seen the world.
Lin Yi, no explanation.
"There is nothing else, so you can tell me too, so that I won't know, and it will be difficult to settle the bill at that time." Lin Yi asked with a smile.
The girl just laughed and said, "There is nothing else, but you will suffer if you don't do this free service."
"What are you suffering from?" Lin Yi pretended not to understand, but in fact she really didn't understand.
The girl's face turned red, "Do you think this is really just a stimulus? There are other services..." She stopped talking.
"Other projects--" Lin Yi felt that he had said too much.
Sure enough, the girl became squeamish and looked at Lin Yi with big eyes charmingly, "Brother, do you want to do it again?"
Lin Yi's face turned red with a rare moment, "How could it be? I just asked curiously... Well, you need to say more. Oh, by the way, how did you do this job?"
The girl immediately lowered her head. When she looked up again, her eyes turned red and she was almost tearful.
Lin Yi didn't expect that he just asked a question and cried. It seemed that this girl was also a person with a story.
Sure enough, the girl took out a tissue and wiped her eyes and said, "Brother, if you don't ask, I won't say it. Since you ask me, I will tell you---"
At this moment, Lin Yi was curious and couldn't help but listen.
The girl then told her story. She grew up in the mountains and dropped out of school at a very young age. Then she went out to work, worked as a hotel etiquette lady, and a private room waiter. Because she was not educated and had no education, those regular companies didn't want her. Finally, she resigned and came to Yunhe International to learn to be a technician, so she could live a little better life.
"I work very hard and study hard. I don't do anything else, just to make a lot of money, and then take it home to honor my mother. My father passed away early, and my mother raised the three of us brothers and sisters. She has never enjoyed a blessing in her life, and she has never even come out of the mountain village." But just when she was working hard, she received a call at work last month. "My mother had a lung surgery in the county hospital, her heartbeat and breathing stopped for 20 seconds. The doctor even asked me to prepare for my mother to never wake up." At that moment, she was in a mess and wanted to fly over to accompany her mother immediately. She admitted that she wanted to cry at that time, "But I kept telling myself to hold back and not cry, because now you are the pillar of the family, the tuition fees of brothers and sisters, and the medical expenses of my mother. For this reason, many service projects I didn't want to do in the past also gritted my teeth and accepted..."
When the girl talked about this, she kept wiping her tears. Lin Yi was not the kind of person with a stern heart. After listening to the girl's narration, she felt inexplicably moved.
"It's really not easy for you." Lin Yi held it in for a long time before he could say something.
The girl, Lihua, smiled bitterly, "Are you comforting me or sarcastic?"
"How could it be? I don't know how to coax people."
"Lying, there must be many girls like you like."
"Why?"
"Because you are honest. There are too few honest men now." The girl gave Lin Yi a look with her crying red eyes.
Lin Yi scratched his head. It was the first time that someone said he was honest.
...
Time flies so fast that before we know it, the two have been chatting for almost an hour.
Lin Yi was a little sleepy and stretched his body, hoping that the girl would leave on her own initiative. But the girl looked at him and suddenly said, "Can I not leave tonight?"
"What? How can this work?" Lin Yi immediately refused.
The girl's tears immediately came down again and said, "If I don't rest here tonight, I have to go out. It's so cold that I have no place to go..."
"Ahem, what does it mean? Is this also a free project to live in a luxury suite?" Lin Yi was surprised.
The girl nodded and lowered her head, "Please don't drive me away."
If Lin Yi might be more cruel before he heard the girl tell a story, but now...
"Then I'll sleep on the sofa, you'll sleep on the bed." Lin Yi held the pillow down.
The girl looked at him and said, "The bed is big and you can sleep together." Her cheeks turned red.
Lin Yi: “…”
"Forget it, I'm a person who is not honest when sleeping and is prone to kicking the bed."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid." The girl rubbed the corners of her clothes and said shyly.
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid of kicking you---I'm not too light or serious." Lin Yi didn't dare to talk to her anymore, so he lay on the sofa, and immediately fell asleep.
...
I originally thought that sleeping in such a high-end suite would be very comfortable and happy, but I didn’t expect it to be so painful.
Lin Yi pricked up his ears and couldn't help eavesdropping on the girl's reaction, her breathing, her sigh, and the faint fragrance coming from her body...
Lin Yi was upset. As a passionate man, he felt that he was about to become a monk and became a Buddha immediately.
I don’t know how long it took, but Lin Yi fell asleep in a daze.
In his sleep, he had a strange dream.
He was walking in the mountains, but suddenly he encountered a snow-white python. The python did not let him go, but instead entangled him hard.
Lin Yi wanted to scream, but couldn't.
In this way, in his dream, he was always entangled by this python, as if he was hysterical. He wanted to wake up, but he couldn't wake up until dawn.
