The next day, Xia Yufeng woke up just after 7 am. He took his toiletries to the bathroom to wash up, only to find that Xu Yewei and Zhou Qian had already woken up and were washing up inside. He stopped at the door for a while. Judging from the situation, it probably wouldn't be that soon. So, he went out of the living room to the courtyard to get a cup of water and started brushing his teeth.
" Auntie Lan, I'm going to look for a job. I won't be back at noon. I'll be back early tonight." After everything was settled, Xia Yufeng greeted Xu Xiulan, who was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
"My breakfast is almost ready. Eat something before you leave. It's still early anyway.”Xu Xiulan turned around and said to Xia Yufeng.
"No need, I'll just buy a few buns by the roadside later."
" That's good. I wish you all the best. Come back early tonight." As she spoke, she clenched her fist and gestured at me.
"Thank you!" After saying that, Xia Yufeng turned around and left the kitchen. At this time, Xu Yewei and Zhou Qian were cleaning the living room. Xia Yufeng glanced at them and left without saying anything.
Xia Yufeng stopped after crossing the alley and standing on the road. Looking at the crowds and traffic coming and going, he silently cheered for himself in his heart and said, Work hard!
Facing those high-rise buildings, Xia Yufeng did not have the courage to go in. He could only pin his hopes on the recruitment advertisements posted on the roadside, so he walked while looking at them.
Suddenly, he found a recruitment notice next to a plaque by the roadside. It said that they were looking for a male waiter. They needed a good image and temperament, and the salary was good. The basic salary was 5,000 yuan, and there was even a commission.
Xia Yufeng thought to himself, I don't have a diploma, but this 1.85-meter height plus a face that looks like Yu Wenle, no matter what, it can be considered a good image and temperament. He quickly took out his phone and called the number on it.
"Hello, are you looking for a waiter?”
"What do you do?" The man who answered the call asked carefully.
" I'm a university student," Xia Yufeng blurted out. In fact, he had already confirmed this " identity " a long time ago. According to the time, wasn't he currently in university? If he didn't say so, could he have graduated? Do I have a graduation certificate?
When the other party heard that he was a university student, he pondered for a moment and said in a low voice,"Well, university students are good. They're quite popular in our industry now. Have you done this before?"
" I've been working part-time in university," Xia Yufeng quickly replied.
"Oh, that's great. We're in need of experienced people here. Why don't you leave me your contact information and I'll contact you again?”
"Can you go to work quickly? I urgently need work now. It's okay to be tired.”
" Hehe, brother, don't be so anxious. You also know that our line of work is different from others. It's not just about not being afraid of fatigue and having physical strength. We also have to talk about skills. Besides, I don't know if you have really done it before, so you have to be careful. I'll call you when I'm done with the arrangements. Tell me your number." Xia Yufeng understood the other party's words. So the so-called male waiter who not only needed physical strength but also skill and experience was a " prostitute ".
"Damn it, get lost." Xia Yufeng cursed loudly and hung up the phone decisively. He was so depressed that he had wasted more than one yuan of long-distance and roaming phone charges.
He had seen a lot of them online before, but he didn't expect to encounter them this time. Xia Yufeng thought to himself," How f * cking unlucky."
He put down the phone and continued to walk forward to look for her. During this period, he entered a few companies with recruitment advertisements on their doors. Xia Yufeng also tried to go in and try. As expected, those big companies wanted to see his diploma. He couldn't take it out, so he naturally rejected them.
Along the way, he also saw the recruitment notice posted at the entrance of the bar and KTV, but Xia Yufeng directly blocked it. He was very traditional and thought that it was a " indecent " place. That kind of job was also not serious. Therefore, after a day of searching, he did not make any progress. Instead, his feet were exhausted, so he casually sat down on a bench by the street.
He took out a cigarette, took out the few remaining cigarettes, lit them, and slowly smoked. After being rejected a few times, he became depressed. He suddenly missed home and his grandmother very much. Hence, Xia Yufeng threw the cigarette away and took out his phone to call his home phone.
" Hello, Auntie, it's Feng." It was her aunt who answered the phone.
"Oh, Ah Feng, you arrived in Beijing yesterday, right? Have you found a place to stay? Find a place to stay first before looking for a job.”
"Yes, I found a place to stay. Don't worry. How's Grandma?"
"Grandma is fine. She eats a lot now. Don't worry!"
"Okay, Auntie, then you have to work harder. Take good care of Grandma and send her my regards. Tell her not to worry about me.”
After chatting with his aunt for a while, he suddenly felt a little better. However, when he thought of his mother who was chased out of the house by his father and whose whereabouts were unknown, Xia Yufeng couldn't help but feel sad. He thought to himself that he must find his mother as soon as possible after he settled down here.
When Xia Yufeng left in the morning, Xu Yewei and Zhou Qian were cleaning up. After cleaning the living room, Auntie Lan asked Xu Yewei to clean Xia Yufeng's room as well. She also took the blanket out to the yard to dry. She said that the blanket had been left in the cupboard and hadn't been dried. It was sunny today, so it would be more comfortable to dry it under the sun.
Xu Yewei pushed open Xia Yufeng's room and saw that it was very clean and the blanket was neatly folded. She thought to herself, I didn't expect boys to be so clean and tidy. In fact, it was not because he loved cleanliness, but because Xia Yufeng did not have many things at all. Even if he wanted to mess things up, he would not be able to.
Xu Yewei put down her broom and walked in quietly. She walked to the table and began to tidy up the books that Xia Yufeng had forgotten to pack. She stacked the books according to their sizes. After the books were piled up, she was about to put Xia Yufeng's black notebook on top of the book, but she didn't notice that there was a pen in the notebook. When she picked it up, she accidentally dropped the pen. Xu Yewei bent down to pick up the pen on the ground. She opened the notebook and was about to put the pen back in its original position. When she opened it, she was stunned. The words were written with a beautiful black gel pen. The words were very beautiful, so Xu Yewei couldn't help but read down bit by bit. When she saw the lyrics in front of her, she froze.
Pillow Dream
The west ridge has returned several times at dusk, lingering under the setting sun and wild goose feathers
The wind hasn't gone to sleep, walking, weaving a break in the clouds
Holding tightly to the parting, I can't do anything about the years stacked in my wrinkles.
The black hair is half rolled up and the face is withered
The sound of the zither is far away, half of my life is full of infatuation and resentment, and my eyebrows are euphemistic
I still see Youlin waking up with a start, complaining about the rain
I point to the clear strings, but I can't do anything about that lovesickness, which is entangled in the wrong root section.
Facing the crescent moon, I'm thin and old
Under the moonlight, I slept on the orchid boat for a night, missing you and not sleeping
A few nightingales look forward to the autumn water for another year
The lonely lamp shines on the curtain, the weak you cry and say goodbye
How can we meet and fall in love, only for a glimpse
When the moon leaves the sky, parting is also born with sorrow and resentment
Tears break, strings rise, a song of fate for three lives
Let go of my longing, wrapped in a light gauze pillow, falling asleep with tears
I just want to see you again in my dream
As a student of a music academy, her sensitivity and comprehension of lyrics were incomparable to ordinary people. Xu Yewei read the poem carefully, trying her best to feel the scene described by the poem. Gradually, a smile appeared on her face. It had been a long time since she had seen such a profound and artistic poem.
After reading it, she couldn't help but continue to read it, as if she was admiring a good book. At this moment, she completely forgot that she was peeking at someone else's privacy.
"Weiwei, where are you?" Zhou Qian called out to her from the living room.
Xu Yewei only reacted when she heard the voice. She quickly put the pen into her notebook and placed it on top of the pile of books. She grabbed the blanket and ran out of the room.
When Xia Yufeng dragged his tired body back home, he was already exhausted. After exchanging a few words with Auntie Lan, he turned around and went back to his room. As soon as she entered, she realized that the room had been tidied up. The books on the desk were neatly stacked.
Xia Yufeng then walked over, picked up the notebook, and flipped through it. The pen was still inside, thinking that no one would peek. Unfortunately, it had already been peeked at. However, reality proved that this accidental " leak " was worth it.
During dinner, everyone was relatively more normal because they kept talking and laughing at the dinner table. Xia Yufeng would also interrupt a few times. Strangely, Xia Yufeng noticed that Xu Yewei had peeked at him several times at the dining table, which made him feel baffled. She kept guessing in her heart. What was going on? Could it be that she was disgusted by him living here? It couldn't be that bad, right? Xia Yufeng started to feel conflicted.
After dinner, Xia Yufeng helped to clean up the table. He sat under the old sycamore tree in the courtyard and smoked while looking at the night sky.
"Can I ask you a question?" While Xia Yufeng was deep in thought, Xu Yewei had walked behind him.
"Oh? "What question? Go ahead and ask," Xia Yufeng said as he looked back at her.
"You graduated from university?"
" No, I'm still one year away. I don't want to study anymore, so I came out to look for a job," Xia Yufeng answered half-truthfully.
"Which university are you from? What major are you studying?”
" I don't dare to call myself a university in front of the Celestial Music Academy because I'm only a junior college student. You wouldn't know even if I told you. I majored in economic management." After saying that, Xia Yufeng suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.
Xu Yewei didn't ask any more questions. Xia Yufeng's answer left her at a loss. Because she saw Xia Yufeng's self-deprecating expression after he finished speaking, she actually felt very embarrassed, but with her cold personality, she couldn't say sorry words to comfort him. He might as well not say anything and remain silent.
Xia Yufeng was obviously very embarrassed by the sudden silence. Seeing that Xu Yewei didn't say anything, he also didn't say anything. The two of them endured the silence and awkwardness for a few seconds before Xu Yewei quietly turned around and entered the house. Xia Yufeng looked back at her, then turned back to continue smoking his cigarette.
He thought to himself,'What's going on? Why is this ice mountain acting so strange today?'
