C127 (1/2)

Standing at the entrance of the bus station, I put my arm around Tick's shoulders and comforted her, ”Tick, don't worry, everything will be fine. That Wu Wenbo really dares to walk out the door again, I'll beat him up one time and see if he still dares to harass you in the future.”

You have to go back now so that I won't be at ease. After you leave, I will go back to the village, and Wu Wenbo won't dare to go to the village to find me. Yang Zi, just listen to me, you can go back first, and I'll come look for you in a few days, alright? ”

I continued to comfort her, ”Tick, I really don't need to. These things really mean nothing to me.”

Tick pulled me along and said coquettishly, ”Just listen to me about this. We'll meet again in a few days anyway. You can go back first, okay?”

”But …” My heart was full of helplessness. I didn't want to tell Tick about those things, because otherwise she would only make me worry even more. I thought I would be able to stay with Tick the whole time. I didn't expect that I would have nowhere to go now.

Tick stared into my eyes and asked nervously, ”But what? Did something happen? Did you hide something from me?”

”How could that be? I came here this time to stay with you. I wanted to go to the university with you, so I checked out the houses there and quit my job. I took care of all the stuff.” I smiled bitterly.

Tick slanted her eyes at me and said doubtfully, ”Hmph, is that really the case? Don't lie to me, I will call Xue Er. If not, you are dead! ”

I spread my hands and helplessly said, ”How could I dare? Anyway, I don't have any place to go now. You decide?”

No matter what, you have to leave now. As a man, you can go anywhere, but wait until I announce the results of the selection. Then, I will look for you, Yang Zi, just listen to me once, I don't want you to get hurt, okay?

Facing Tick's plea, my heart softened as I nodded my head and said, ”Alright, alright, alright. Let me go.”

Hearing my words, Tick's face finally eased up a bit, ”Well, you have to be careful. After I get the notice, I'll come and find you.”

”You have to be careful, if Wu Wenbo dares to harass you again, you have to tell me, do you hear?” I put my arms around Tick and told her.

Tick put his head on my shoulder and said softly, ”I understand, Yang Zi. Promise me you won't cause any more trouble, okay? When I graduate from college, we'll all work hard, and I can support you for the rest of your life. ”

”Yes, I'll wait for you to support me for my entire life.”

I watched Tick get on the bus heading for their town, so I bought a random ticket and left.

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that I have been leaving in such a hasty manner for a period of time. This is already the third time. He hoped that he wouldn't be like this in the future. This feeling was simply too stifling.

More than three hours later, as I walked out of the bus stop and looked out at the view, I suddenly felt very familiar.

No way, I just bought a random ticket and brought me to this place. It shouldn't be. This place was hundreds of kilometers away from the county where Tick lived. Since they were all county cities, there shouldn't be a bus here.

I quickly took out the ticket stub to check. Sure enough, I didn't expect that there would be a bus going between these two counties. Furthermore, it was a bus passing by. Such a ticket can be bought for me, it is really fated.

I hesitated for a moment and saw that the sky had gradually darkened. I didn't know where I was going anyways. I should stay here for the time being and think about where I was going tomorrow.

I came to the hotel where we had stayed the other day and found a random room. I bought some food from a nearby supermarket and went back to my room.

I called Tick, who had already returned to the village and was preparing to eat with her family. Hearing Tick's parents call her over for dinner, she hung up.

Lying alone in bed, I soon felt bored. I had been busy all this time, and in the blink of an eye, everything seemed to be going back to three years ago, when I had just come out of jail. Unlike before, it was me who didn't know anything. I had no money and could only rely on my two legs and my little intelligence. It took me almost a month to reach that city.

The current me, even though I am still alone, at the very least, I am not in a sorry state like before.

I hesitated for a long time before deciding to give Xu Chen a call. Ever since we parted ways last time, Xu Chen had frequently contacted me, but sometimes I was just too busy and didn't pick up for a long time. Even if I did, I didn't say much before hanging up.

Afterwards, Xu Chen could only send messages to me frequently, and when I was not busy, I would chat with her. I made an automatic transfer at the bank, and the bank automatically transferred 1000 yuan from my bank card to Xu Chen's bank card every month.

Luckily I opened a computer room, there was a computer inside, I found Xu Chen's contact information, gritted my teeth, and dialed her number.
