Chapter 46: Things in the Past
When Song Yujia woke up, Fu Jun was lying behind him, with one arm around him. He turned around and buried his head in Fu Jun's chest.
"Awake? You usually sleep like a pig, why did you wake up so early today?"
Song Yujia chose to ignore him and raised her hands to place on Fu Jun's chest. She screamed in her heart for his chest muscles and couldn't help but pinch them twice and then squeezed the smaller one.
Fu Zhun groaned softly when being pinched, and said hoarsely, "You want it?"
Song Yujia rolled her eyes and didn't continue the conversation. "Honey, I want to go out and play."
Fu Jun helplessly pulled Song Yujia's hand and placed it on his waist, "Where do you want to go?"
As soon as he finished asking the question, Song Yujia in his arms started to move his arms and legs around.
“Ahhh, ahhh, the beautiful scenery of West Lake, it’s a March day, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck, tuck~”
Fu Jun raised his legs to press down on Song Yujia's legs, then grabbed his arms, suppressing his dancing spirit with force.
"I can't watch March Day, but October Day is fine. How about National Day?"
"Yeah, yeah, husband, you are so nice!"
Song Yujia put her arms around Fu Zhun's neck and smacked him.
"Honey, are you going to go out and start working? Can I just lie in bed and play this afternoon instead of studying?"
Fu Zhun didn't say anything. Song Yujia observed his expression and felt that it was quite cruel. She tried to get up reluctantly.
When he finally sat up, Fu Zhun stretched out his hand and pulled him back onto the bed. "Baby, tell me about your past. After you've finished, you don't have to study anymore."
"What's there to talk about my past? It's boring."

In the afternoon, Song Yujia lay on the bed as he wished, catching up on his novel, his legs swinging. The door of the lounge was half open. Fu Zhun looked out the window, and from time to time he could hear Song Yujia's laughter.
Song Yujia told him that when he was seven years old, his parents went out together, and when they came back they had a car accident and no one could rescue them. Apart from his parents, he had no other relatives, and his family had no money, so no relatives or neighbors were willing to adopt him and help him.
Fu Zhun felt very sad to hear this, but Song Yujia happily told him that after going to the orphanage, he met a very kind director mother. Although there were many other brothers and sisters in the orphanage, the director mother always favored him a little more.
It was spring when he arrived at the orphanage. Two beautiful butterflies flew into the dormitory he was assigned to. The director mother told him that his parents came to visit him and see what the place he would live in was like. He was very happy at that time and talked to the two butterflies for a long time, although they flew away.
The director's mother also told him that his parents would occasionally turn into small animals to visit him, and if he was unhappy every day, his parents would not be happy either. So after that, he played with the children every day, smiling every day. Whenever he met two small animals together, he would tell them that he was very happy.
When he was a child, his mother, the dean, would not scold him even if he did not do well in school. She would just hug him and tell him to just work hard and live happily.
At that time, he always felt that the director's mother was very hard-working, having to take care of so many children alone. He wanted to go out and earn money and bring it back to the director's mother, but he was too young and no one was willing to hire him.
Later, when he grew up a little, one year, many unhealthy children came to the orphanage. The director mother told him that the orphanage was too small and the money was not enough, so the older children had to leave the orphanage first.
He was happy at that time. Leaving the orphanage meant that he had grown up and could earn money for the director's mother. But before he left, the director's mother secretly stuffed a thousand yuan into his clothes. At that time, he was reluctant to rent a house, so he went to school during the day and slept under the bridge at night.
Once he was bullied by his classmates because there were many holes on his clothes. They laughed at him and called him a little beggar. After he retorted a few words, he was beaten. He was thin and short at that time, so of course he could not beat them. After being beaten, he cried alone under the bridge.
That day he met the owner of a barbecue restaurant. The owner was also very nice and felt sorry for him. He bought him some medicine and asked him to serve dishes in the restaurant after school. After midnight, he could sleep upstairs on the sofa in the owner's house. Although it was a bit noisy, he slept soundly and comfortably. He was also very sensible. When someone asked him his age, he said he had just turned 18.
Sometimes when he missed his mother, he would hide away and cry secretly, but the boss would always find him quickly and say that his crying was heartbreaking and gave him a headache, and that he would not be allowed to sleep at home if he cried again. He was so scared that he wiped his tears silently from then on. At that time, the boss's wife scolded the boss, saying that he was scaring the child.
In this way, I earned a little money from working part-time every month, and with the school's subsidy, I finally went to a technical college, and was able to give a little money to the dean's mother, although it was not much.
If he studied well, he could have received a scholarship. What a pity.
It was much easier to work after entering college because he was an adult, but he inevitably missed a lot of classes. The counselor would scold him while taking him to eat, and then give him his meal card, telling him that the money in it was a gift from the school and he couldn't finish it, so he asked him to help.
But after graduation, he joined a company with a black-hearted boss who only paid him 2,700 yuan a month and even deducted his salary if he was late for work.
Fu Zhun's eyes turned red after listening to this, but Song Yujia didn't notice. She continued to talk about his past as if he was telling a story. She also asked him with a smile if he knew what it meant to "never quit even if you die". As if revealing a riddle, she told him in a profound manner that to "never quit" meant to get mad at someone 10,000 times a day but still not quit.
After Song Yujia finished speaking, he also missed the dean's mother and the barbecue restaurant owner, saying that he had not visited them for a long time.
Fu Zhun looked through the half-open door and saw that Song Yujia, who was lying on the bed, had changed her position at some point and was now lying flat on her back, holding her cell phone high up and crossing her legs.
It is incredible to think that Song Yujia has suffered so much in the past but is still so optimistic. In the end, life will be good in the future.
He stood up, walked to the French window and made a phone call.
“Has the person been found?”
“There are some traces, but we don’t know where it went next.”
