Chapter 17

The job was unexpectedly successful.

When Chen Ting came to the interview, the other party asked him a lot of questions. When he mentioned his academic qualifications, he couldn't help but answered some bumps. After all, it was an accident that he came to this world. It was difficult to lie without hiding it. He studied law in undergraduate studies, but the rules that he had been familiar with in his heart could not be fully applied in this world. It was equivalent to learning in vain. When the other party asked, Chen Ting didn't think about it, and finally replied in a vague way that he only went to high school.

He was not satisfied with the answer, and he didn't have much hope after the end. He thought it was the same as the previous two interviews - the first time he asked him to go back and wait for the notification, but in fact he refused, with no subsequent text at all. The second time even worsened. After hearing that he had no cell phone, the interviewer had to stop talking politely and told him that he was sorry that it was not appropriate.

But unexpectedly, there was a turning point this time.

After the chat, the store manager who interviewed him took a job application form and asked him to fill in it, and asked him when he could start work.

He was stunned for a moment before he quickly answered that it was OK now.

He had no place to live, and when the store manager asked, he answered that he was from other places who came here to work. He had no relatives, so he was arranged to an employee dormitory. On the way to the store manager, Chen Tingwei couldn't help but ask more questions, and the store manager told him that although his resume did not meet the application requirements, the service industry values ​​affinity the most. He has an advantage in appearance, with gentle eyebrows and whispers when speaking, and it is the best for dealing with children.

It is said to be an employee dormitory, but the conditions are actually OK. In the residential community across the road from the trampoline hall, it is a four-bedroom and one living room.

There are not many employees outside the country where you work, and there are only two rooms with air conditioning. A group of young men are not very particular. Now when the weather is hot, you can make do with it and sleep in the same room.

The air conditioning conditions were limited and the weather was getting hotter. Other employees invited him to live with him. Chen Ting was not in a special condition, so they didn't dare to explain it easily. Fortunately, there was still the last single room with the smallest area left in the dormitory, and he barely put a bed and wardrobe. Although there was no air conditioning or windows, Chen Ting said that it was already very good for the future, and at least he did not really live on the streets.

When Chen Ting opened the door without carrying a box of pregnancy test papers, two roommates were eating takeout in the kitchen. He glanced at him from the light and hurriedly hid the test papers tighter. The kitchen was a little distance from the living room, but they didn't see it. The conversation on the dining table was interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

A boy who hadn't spoken much in the venue first broke the quiet: "Hey, Brother Chen, I'm back."

Chen Tingwei nodded and closed the door. He felt that his answer was a little cold, so he added: "I have been delayed in cleaning for a while today."

"That's it..." The boy looked a little embarrassed and pointed to the takeaway on the table. "We both ordered a little too much today. Do you want to have something together?"

Chen Tingwei felt embarrassed, and wanted to say no, the boy opposite had already taken out the rice from the plastic bag, and helped him remove the lunch box, pushing the tableware and the opened rice into the empty space: "Come out after changing clothes and eat."

Chen Ting has never been introverted since childhood and is not very good at accepting other people's kindness. He doesn't know how to face such a situation for a while. It seems too polite to say thank you, but he can't say nothing.

After the other party moved his eyes back to the variety show on the tablet, he replied dullly: "Oh, OK."

He went back to the room and changed into a thin T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-

He bought the clothes on the night market street in the nearby university town two days ago. When he went there, he had to close the stalls and get them at the purchase price, which cost 18 yuan.

The tail-breaking goods at the night market are not available in size. The T-shirt is very big for him. The hem covers the hips and the fabric is inferior chemical fibers. It itchs when you sweat and stick to your back. But he still wears it as a home clothes - he has no habit of sleeping naked, especially in such a completely unfamiliar environment, nakedness will make him feel even more insecure.

After changing his clothes, his eyes deliberately stayed on the medicine box on the table. This was what he put in his pocket when he was walking from Lian Jue. He ate two meals in the first two days of his arrival. Later, after formally working, his daily routine and life rhythm returned to normal, and his anxiety gradually eased, so he stopped eating.

There was still a plate of medicine left in the medicine box. His fingertips touched his lower abdomen through the clothes. After a moment of silence, he still picked out two pills from the tin paperboard and swallowed them with the cold white that had not been finished in the morning cup.

When he came out of the room, his roommate had already returned to the room and left food for him on the table.

Shen Ting was stunned for a long time when he looked at the fish-flavored shredded pork and seaweed egg flower soup that had obviously not moved in the plastic lunch box, and was then pulled back to his senses by the sourness that poured into his nose.

They are not strangers, but they are indeed kind to him. Perhaps after coming to this world, he could not feel a little warmth until he found this job and met these people. The arrhythmia caused by anxiety was briefly replaced by the softness that poured into his heart. He turned to look at the closed door of his roommate and pulled open the chair to sit down.

Shen Tingwei hadn't eaten anything with oil and water these days. When the fish-flavored shredded pork with red oil was in his mouth, he felt his throat tightening. After chewing it for a while, he swallowed it whole.

The contraction of his stomach and throat made it difficult for him to swallow. The miss that was pressed into his heart could not hold back at this moment. He suddenly began to miss his home frantically, missing his home-cooked dishes that he could eat whenever he returned home, and missing his father's body with a cool but still warm peony fragrance when he returned home late.

He half-hung his eyelashes, wiped the wet and heat at the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of rice.

After eating slowly with the salty and astringent in his mouth, he packed up the lunch box, washed his face with the cold water from the kitchen sink, took a tissue to wipe the water from his face, pressed his sour eyes, and took the garbage out of the door and threw it away.

He had to return the necklace.

The trampoline park is in the city sports center, and there is a large square outside. Now the weather is getting warmer, and many nearby residents will come to the square for a walk to enjoy the cool air at night.

Shen Ting didn't have a cell phone, so it was inconvenient to contact him. After dinner, he went to the square to wait very early.

Before the medicine could take effect, his swelling temples were leaping suddenly.

I don't know how long I waited, but a car stopped not far away. He noticed it from the bottom of his eyes and didn't look up, but the stroller was parked next to him. For some reason, Shen Ting did not raise his head and talked to the woman pushing the cart.

"How old is he?" Shen Tingwei looked at the baby doll who was grinding his teeth and pacifier in the stroller next to him.

"It's half a year old." The woman shook a water-blue glow stick and swayed in front of the baby's eyes. The child's dark eyes didn't turn, and he kept staring at Chen Ting and laughing.

"Hey, it's strange. This is the first time I've seen who he likes so much." The woman smiled and bent down to touch the baby's face. "Is it so happy to see my brother looking handsome?"

Chen Ting didn't hold the corner of his mouth slightly and reached out to touch the child's hand stretched out to him. Someone stood in front of him: "Hi?"

Chen Ting was almost touching the child's hand, almost invisible, and quickly retracted it.

Chen Ningxue may have received a call temporarily. She and she changed into clothes when she came to the trampoline park. She was relatively formal dress, like she was about to go on a date. Her jewelry was in a complete set and her makeup was also very exquisite.

Before Chen Ting looked, he looked away, stood up and bowed to her: "Sorry, please make a special trip."

"I want to thank you even! It's really hard." Chen Ningxue smiled, not caring at all, and reached out to take the necklace.

Chen Ting did not give it to her immediately, but pointed out the deformation of the snaps: "Sorry, Miss Chen, I checked it when I found it. It seemed to be a bit deformed here. If it needs to be sent for repair..."

"Ah, it's okay, it's probably because I did it by myself." Chen Ningxue took it and put it away casually, without paying attention at all, and seemed to be very careless. She smiled at him, "Thank you, I'll bother you so late."

"It's okay, I live very close to you." Chen Tingwei said.

Chen Ningxue put the necklace into the small bag on his back with a smile, her eyes casually swept over the pattern in front of him, and said casually: "Wow, is this brand new style? It's so cute."

Chen Tingwei Chad was stunned, followed her gaze and looked at him, then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face: "This should..."

"I have always despised the tiger-headed style before, and the little bear is quite cute." Chen Ningxue fastened her bag, but she was still unhappy and glanced at his clothes, "I want to go back...uh."

"It's so embarrassing just now, brother, I'm going to die!" Chen Ningxue got into the car, slapped her hot face and began to complain to Lian Jue, "It's so embarrassing!"

Lian Jue ignored her noise and pinched the cigarette in her hand, her eyes still gathered on the back that was slowly walking back in the distance.

I haven't seen him for more than a month. Chen Tingwei's hair was longer than before. His slightly longer black hair made the thin back of his neck look so white. Although the weather has warmed up, it is still cold to wear only one thin t-shirt at night. He probably feels cold too. When he walks back, the wind blows, shrinks his neck slightly, and then speeds up his steps.

After crossing the road, Chen Tingwei's figure was gone.

Lian Jue took his eyes back and thought to himself why this person looked weak all day long and was staggering when walking.

He lifted the car window back, and saw Chen Ningxue beside him still embarrassed, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Just that little brother just now, when I first saw his clothes, I wanted to say it was a new one? Why did his family start making bear head styles? It's quite cute. Then I took a closer look—k,a,n,z,o." Chen Ningxue said while gesturing, finally fastened his seat belt and supported his forehead. "Do you know at that moment? Any time there is a slit on the ground, I suspect that we both have to compete with each other."

Continuous tip: "..."

Until Lian Jue sent the person home, Chen Ningxue had not yet withdrawn from the topic of "How can a handsome guy wear fake?"

Lian Jue knocked on the steering wheel and glanced at her: "Go in quickly, dad should be anxious later."

"How could he be anxious when I'm with you?" Chen Ningxue took off her seat belt, but she didn't rush to get out of the car. She turned her head and looked at Lian Jue, and smiled and suggested, "Besides, it's so late. Brother, you're tired of driving when you go back. Why don't you stay at home to stay at night?"

"No." Lian Jueche did not turn off the engine. He looked at Ning Xue from the front mirror and said in a plain tone, "I'm going to the hospital tomorrow afternoon."

"Go to the hospital?" Chen Ningxue reacted for a while, and said with a tsk, frowned before she could say anything, "Have her examination report come out?"

Lian Jue nodded and reminded: "After going back, you should be careful when you speak and do things, and you will have a little idea."

Chen Ningxue was annoyed when she talked about that person, and now she had a good mood all day disappeared in an instant. She drooped her face and threw her bag back on her shoulders: "Let's go."

Chen Ting woke up early in the morning.

He took medicine last night and was sleepy early and was confused. He fell asleep before 11 o'clock. Now he got up too early and his roommates were still sleeping, which was quite convenient for him to move alone.

After all, he couldn't even explain this kind of thing when he was discovered, and Chen Tingwei himself was not a particularly eloquent person.

To be safe, he saw his roommates sleeping when he hid in the toilet. After carefully reading the instructions, he started using the test strips. He tried several times according to the operation method printed on it. After soaking the test strips, he needed to wait for five minutes. Chen Ting squatted in front of the test strips and stared at them for five minutes without blinking.

The red bar under the test strip test line slowly appears.

Two bars.

There are two bars every time.

The first thought in Chen Tingwei's mind was: "Sure."

Although he had been mentally prepared and had a premonition that this would be the result, his heartbeat inevitably stopped for a beat.

Then his eyes turned red, Chen Tingwei wiped his face a few times, trying to hold back the sobs - he can't cry, it's too embarrassing, he must not cry.

The frosted glass door in the bathroom could not be locked, and the sound of pulling the slippers approaching sounded. Chen Ting didn't shake all over and quickly stopped him:

"Someone, wait!"

His voice was trembling, but Chen Ting no longer had the intention to hide it.

Hearing the footsteps that were about to reach the door, he stopped. Then the colleague outside the door hesitated for a moment and asked with concern: "Brother Chen, what's wrong with you? I feel uncomfortable?"

"It's okay..." Chen Ting did not agree, "I'll come out immediately, immediately... wait for me for a while."

While speaking, he quickly packed up the things on the sink, stuffed the packaging box and instructions into his pocket in panic, and patted his face again, then he pretended to be nothing and pushed open the door.

After washing his hands, Chen Ting did not come out of the bathroom. His colleague who was playing with his cell phone on the sofa stood up and suddenly met his red eyes. He was stunned: "...Are you really okay? If you feel uncomfortable, I will ask for a leave for you today. Today is not a weekend, and we are not busy there..."

Chen Ting didn't want to shake his head very much, and said no, but his ears continued to buzz.
