Chapter 12

When she was in prison, she was alone. If it weren't for the fact that there were still Riyi, she would have come to visit her, encourage her, and run around for her affairs, she might not have been able to be released from prison alive.

During those three difficult years, Riyi has been supporting her.

Is it a life-saving straw... His eyes flashed. It seemed that Qin Lianyi was really not the only place in her heart. "But it is not ridiculous to regard a person as a life-saving straw. If one day he was abandoned by this life-saving straw, wouldn't he be even more desperate?"

"Richrystals won't do it." She said with great certainty, with an absolute trust in her eyes.

Inexplicably, a feeling of discomfort arose in his heart, as if he didn't want anyone to be worthy of her trust, as if she could give everything for that person.

In the next few days, because the superior department was coming to inspect the sanitation office, Ling Yiran's workload increased and sometimes he had to work overtime.

Fortunately, when she got home, A Jin had already prepared the food and waited for her, which made her feel warm.

She also said that if she came back late, he would eat first, but he insisted on waiting for her to come back to eat together.

Sometimes, she would feel that the two of them were dependent on each other in a small and simple rental house. Maybe this is how they felt with a younger brother.

In the early morning, after cleaning the streets in charge, I returned to the sanitation office. After putting the tools in place, I stood on the open space at the door.

The inspectors from the Urban Management Bureau will come soon, and the institute will ask the people in charge of street cleaning to stand here to greet them, which will be convenient for reporting on work later.

Ling still had a slim body, standing among a group of 40-50-year-old aunts and uncles, and looked quite conspicuous.

"Yiran, you are Ling Yiran!" When the inspector came to the sanitation center, one of the 27-8-year-old women saw Ling Yi and suddenly shouted.

Ling Yiran looked up and saw that the other party was wearing a light blue career suit, with his hair tied up, a round face and narrow eyes, and his appearance was ordinary, but he was wearing exquisite makeup.

Ling Yiran was stunned for a moment before recognizing that the other party was her high school classmate Miao Jiayu.

"It's really you." Miao Jiayu looked at Ling Yiran with an unexpected look on her face, "Why are you here? Are you... working as a sanitation worker now?"

"Well, I'm working here now." Ling Yiran responded, not dodging the other party's inquiry gaze. After all, in life, you will always meet people you once knew. Even if you feel embarrassed, you will always have to bear it.

"Jiayu, do you know each other?" asked Miao Jiayu's colleague who came to check together.

"Yes, Yiran, I was the class beauty and academic master in our class at the beginning. I was at the top of my exams every time. I don't know how many boys in our class liked her and chased her, but Yiran didn't like anyone." Miao Jiayu said to her colleague, as if she was deliberately trying to praise Ling Yiran high.

But the more this happens, it forms a sharp contrast with Ling Yiran now.

Sure enough, the colleague frowned, "Only she is the class girl in the top student? You're kidding."

Miao Jiayu smiled slightly, but she felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. In the class, Ling was still like a swan admired by many people, but she was just an ugly duckling, and no one noticed her at all.

But now, so what about swans? It’s not just about sweeping the road!

Some colleagues from the sanitation centers around Ling Yiran heard this and looked at Ling Yiran, but their eyes were all kinds, including surprise, sympathy, and mocking.

The next day, Ling Yiran finished cleaning the morning work. When he came back to return the tools, a little girl from the tool group asked Ling Yiran curiously, "Yiran, were you really a class beauty and a top student before?"

Ling Yiran hadn't answered yet. Another person from the tool group named Fang Qianqian snorted coldly, "What class beauty is the top student? Is that useful? I'm not a sweeping floor now. If I were really capable, I would have changed to another job."

The little girl who asked Ling Yiran before looked at Ling Yiran with awkward look on her face, but Ling Yiran just lowered her head, signed her name on the record book of the return tool, and turned around and walked away.

Sister Xu caught up with Ling Yiran, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't take Fang Qianqian's words to heart. She is so angry that she is interested in Xiao Guo from the convoy."

Ling Yiran had a confused expression on his face, and had no idea who "Xiao Guo" was mentioned by Sister Xu and what did it have to do with her.

"Xiao Guo is the driver of the fleet in our institute. It seems to be a little bit of annoying to you. Do you don't say hello to you often?" said Sister Xu, who is really good for Ling Yiran's goodness. "Actually, Xiao Guo is a good man. He has a staff in the institute. His parents have bought a wedding house for him. You don't think about it."

Ling Yiran shook his head, "No, I don't want to fall in love at the moment."

"You are 27 years old. If a woman grows up, it will be difficult to find a partner."

"Then let's live alone." She said. In fact, when she was released from prison, she no longer had any expectations for love.

At that time, Xiao Ziqi and her made a vow, but later, in prison, she was pulled out ten nails, but he didn't even frown, and just said lightly, "I'll take it myself."

At that moment, for her, all the emotions in the past seemed to have been completely destroyed.

How many times, she would dream of this scene and would wake up from her dream.

And how many times did her fingers hurt slightly, she would tell herself that the so-called love is just such cruelty.

Now she doesn't want to touch love anymore.

Besides, she was in jail and it was so difficult to find a job, let alone find a marriage partner? How many people don’t care about the case?

But just as she said this, A Jin's face flashed through her mind. She said that she could buy a mobile phone for A Jin in a few days.

"Hey, you kid..." Sister Xu sighed and didn't continue to talk about this topic anymore.

On the day when the salary was paid, Ling Yiran took Yi Jin away from the mall to buy a mobile phone after get off work.

"It doesn't matter if I have a cell phone or not." Yi Jinli said lightly. He had never thought that she wanted to buy him a cell phone.

"No one doesn't have a cell phone yet? You are looking for a job. If you have a cell phone, it will be convenient for the company to contact you. It's not a long-term thing to send flyers every day." Ling Yiran said, "Besides, if you have a cell phone, you will have to go home late if you delay anything in the future, so it will be convenient for us to inform each other."

The two of them came to a mobile phone store in the mall, which contained many brands of mobile phones. The mobile phones she could afford at present were about 1,500 yuan. She also checked online and had several mobile phone options. So at this moment, she directly picked out the mobile phones she had chosen and asked Yi Jinli to see which ones she liked.

"I can only afford these old mobile phones now, but I have checked these mobile phones online. They are cost-effective and have good configurations. You can use them first and wait until you save more money in the future..."
