A ray of sunlight shone through the skylight onto my bed and landed on my face. Due to the sunlight, I opened my eyes. Although I had already woken up, or more precisely, I hadn't fallen asleep. Today, I was going to meet someone, someone who might have occupied most of my heart. I was going to confess to her.
Although I would wake up every morning as long as the sun shone on my face, it had gradually become a habit of mine. I didn't have this habit before. This is a loft in a warehouse. It's not big, about 20 square meters. Because one side of the roof is slanted, I can use less than 20 square meters.
A bed was placed on one side of the attic. The bed had been used for a long time, but it was very sturdy. Other than the bed, all the furniture was only two small cabinets, so although the place was not big, it seemed very spacious.
The two small cabinets were filled with books. Why were they all books? Because I'm a student, a university student, a university student from City S's PhD University.
Why was a student from a famous university living here? Because I'm an orphan, and the reason I became an orphan is because I'm too ugly.
Yes, I was very ugly. There was a palm-sized green spot on the left side of my face.
Because of this green spot, I was abandoned when I was born. I didn't know who my parents were since I was young. From the moment I was sensible, I only knew that I lived in an orphanage in W City. Uncle Gu of the orphanage gave me a name-Li Ao.
Uncle Gu was the deputy director of the orphanage at that time. He had lived in the orphanage since he was young and treated the orphanage as his own home. He treated us orphans as his own children. He was the person who cared about me the most in the orphanage.
When I was bullied by other children in the orphanage, Uncle Gu always came out to protect me. I remember when I was eleven or twelve years old, I was knocked unconscious by someone. When I woke up in the hospital, I realized that it was already early the next morning. It was raining heavily outside the window, and Uncle Gu had been accompanying me without sleeping.
I cried and asked Uncle Gu," Why? Why am I so ugly? My parents don't want me, and everyone looks down on me. Even the children in the orphanage who are also orphans bully me."”
"Do you know why I named you Li Ao?”Uncle Gu wiped my tears with his handkerchief and asked me.
I sobbed and replied," There were four children who entered the orphanage at the same time. I was the youngest and was ranked according to the surnames of Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li.”
Uncle Gu shook his head and smiled at me."Silly child, I just don't know what your surnames are. I named you 'Ao' because of your looks. Ah Ao, it's because you're ugly that you can't look down on yourself. The path you're going to walk is much harder than the average person's. It's even more complicated than the other children in the orphanage. So, you have to work harder than others and do things that others can't do until one day, no one will look down on you anymore. They will be proud of having a friend like you. You should be proud of yourself.”
I listened to Uncle Gu's words and began to study hard. I was determined to be a scientist.
Heaven gave me an ugly appearance, but at the same time, it gave me a smart brain. No matter in elementary school, middle school, or high school, my grades were excellent. I was always at the top of the list. I scored high marks in the college entrance examination and was finally admitted to the PhD University in S City. It was one of the famous universities in the country and was close to W City.
As I grew older, I could no longer stay in the orphanage. The university was in another city, and it required a large amount of tuition. I began to worry about going to university.
Just as I was discussing this matter with Uncle Gu, who had been promoted to the dean, Uncle Gu told me that considering my actual living situation, PhD University decided to reduce half of my tuition fees and the other half could be made up before graduation.
I knew that this must be Uncle Gu's help. I also secretly resolved to study hard and repay Uncle Gu in the future.
However, not long after, I began to worry again. Although I could make up for the other half before graduation, I was unfamiliar with the place and people. Where could I find a job? Moreover, I couldn't delay my studies too much. However, two days later, Uncle Gu brought me to a building materials factory in S City to meet the factory manager. At that time, I didn't know why Uncle Gu wanted me to come here. Later, I found out that the factory manager had adopted a child from an orphanage and was very familiar with Uncle Gu. Two days ago, I met Uncle Gu. He mentioned that people often steal things from the warehouse of his building materials factory and wanted to find someone to watch the warehouse at night. Uncle Gu immediately thought of me when he heard that, so he told Manager Lin about my situation. Manager Lin agreed to let Uncle Gu bring me to take a look.
When Factory Manager Lin saw my 1.80-meter-tall figure and my looks, he immediately agreed to my job and agreed to give me a monthly salary of 800 yuan.
From then on, I stayed in the attic on the second floor of the warehouse. My accommodation problem was solved just like that.
When I first moved in, there were indeed a few nights when I found thieves coming in to steal things. However, after I scared them away a few times (there was once a thief who saw my face and shouted 'Zhong Kui' and ran away), very few people came to steal things. For this reason, Factory Manager Lin gave me a 1000 yuan bonus during the New Year.
From then on, I began my life of attending classes during the day and being a night watchman at night. Every time I went back to visit Uncle Gu during the holidays, Uncle Gu would also take time to visit me. In the blink of an eye, three years of my relatively peaceful university life passed.
