Su Man and Bai Jing walked out of the cafeteria and were about to thank her.
"Mr. Bai, thank you..."
Bai Jing frowned and pushed up her thick glasses.
"No need to thank me. I'm not trying to help you. I just can't stand them bullying people like that."
"I'm not planning on being friends with you. Don't try to get close to me. I'm busy and need to study."
After saying that, she turned and strode towards the library.
Looking at her thin and gaunt figure, Su Man couldn't help but laugh.
What a good classmate who is only focused on studying!
She calmed herself down and returned to the dormitory.
Chu Guihua was eating in the dormitory. When she saw her come back, she was about to say hello.
Seeing that the people in the dormitory opposite were staring at her, she could only lower her head and shovel her food into her mouth.
Su Man didn't say much. She closed the door, opened the cabinet, and took out all her money.
If this goes on, the dormitory will no longer be habitable.
She decided to rent a house outside and live in peace.
Seeing Su Man was about to leave, Chu Guihua mustered up the courage to speak.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Su, but studying is my only way out."
"I'm not as brave as you, don't blame me."
Although the man paid for her college education, it was not in vain.
The condition was that after she graduated from university, she would bring her whole family to the city to live a good life.
So, she can't afford to make any mistakes.
Su Man didn't turn her head, but just sighed.
"I know, and I understand you."
"From now on, just keep a distance from me in front of them."
When Chu Guihua listened to Su Man's words, she felt that the food in her mouth was full of bitter taste.
Su Man was obviously doing this for her own good, but why couldn't she be happy at all?
——————
Tomorrow is Saturday and there are no classes in the afternoon. Su Man left school, took out the minibus schedule written by Guo Simin, and studied it carefully.
We got on the bus and went to the capital's city hall.
You can't just enter the government these days. She stood at the door and looked at the map for a while, then turned and went to the nearby park.
I found a place where many elderly people gathered and started chatting with them as if I was familiar with the place.
From astronomy and geography to the capital's style, from the price of eggs per pound in the vegetable market to whether the douzhi at Dongmenkou tastes authentic.
Anyway, she can say a few words.
The old man and the old woman were just chatting happily. After a while, she pretended to ask casually.
"Uncle, is there any family with the surname Gu around here? Any family that's pretty powerful?"
The address that Gu Xiaojiao sent her the letter to seemed to be in this area.
The old man took a sip of tea and slapped his thigh.
"Are you talking about Chief Gu? He lives in that area. Hey hey, speaking of him, I have something to say."
"Back then, I went to the battlefield with him."
"He was so brave on the battlefield. Although he has retired now, his bravery back then is unforgettable!"
Chief Gu? Su Man frowned. She hadn't heard Gu Xiaojiao say that her grandfather was the chief?
"Then, Chief Gu, does he have any sons or grandsons?"
The auntie next to her was cracking melon seeds and took a mouthful.
"I only have one daughter, and she's crazy."
"But Chief Gu has a large family, and it seems he has quite a few grandchildren."
"Why are you asking this?"
She looked Su Man up and down and asked with a smile.
"What's the matter, young comrade? Which comrade from the Gu family have you taken a fancy to? They are a wealthy family, so it's not easy to get in."
"However, I know a comrade named Gu. Although he is not from Chief Gu's family, he is from the capital."
"With two working parents at home and regular jobs, would you consider it?"
The lady on the other side also took a fancy to Su Man and quickly interrupted her.
"No, I have a nephew from my mother's side who knows me well. He's only 25 years old, but he's already a platoon leader in the army. He has a lot of potential in the future!"
"Little comrade, why don't you consider it?"
Su Man just wanted to get some information, not to arrange a blind date for herself!
She smiled awkwardly and waved her hands hastily.
"No, I'm married and have a man!"
As he spoke, he ran out.
Even after running a long way, I could still hear the voices of the aunties filled with regret.
"What a pity! She's so beautiful, why would she get married so young?"
"There are so many good guys in our capital!"
When I ran out of the park, it was almost dark.
Su Man hurriedly took the last bus back to school. Because of the delay, she didn't go looking for a house.
It seems that I have to go out tomorrow.
When the last bus was about to reach the end, she was the only one there.
The driver saved fuel and didn't reach the terminal.
He just let her get out of the car and walked over by himself.
It was just one stop away, so Su Man didn't argue with anyone.
After getting off the bus, I walked quickly towards the school.
There are two rows of poplar trees planted on the roadside, and behind the poplars is a wall.
The last time Guo Simin brought her here, she told her that along the path by the roadside was the old staff dormitory of the school.
Some retired employees live there, so it's not deserted.
As she was walking, she heard a weak cry for help coming from behind the wall.
Faintly, there is the sound of water splashing.
The wall was not high, and two holes had been dug near the roadside.
It should be used for cats and dogs to enter and exit, and people cannot get in.
Hearing the cries for help becoming weaker and weaker, Su Man climbed up the wall through the hole and jumped down.
Only then did I discover that there was a small pond behind the wall.
It's just the beginning of spring, and the nights in the capital are still a bit cold.
At this point, most of the lights in the dormitories not far away were turned off.
A dim street lamp lit up the corner of the wall, and a figure was floating up and down in the pond, seemingly about to collapse.
