Chapter 16 Yuan Xin and Wang Meng (the fourth pair)
Basically, Yuanxin gets up at five in the afternoon every day.
The temperature in Hangzhou after the beginning of autumn was still around 30 degrees Celsius. Every time she came out of the live broadcast building in the early morning, she felt a wave of heat rushing to her face. She would even sweat around the edges of her underwear after walking a few steps on the street.
It finally rained and the temperature dropped, but it was the rainy season in the south and everything was wet.
Yuan Xin groggily climbed out of bed and headed for the balcony. She undressed as she went, then dumped everything into the washing machine and started it. She closed the lid and reached for the several pairs of underwear hanging on the balcony. Sure enough, none of them were dry. She smoked a cigarette, sat on the edge of the balcony, and took out a hair dryer, drying her underwear while she smoked.
The old man on the opposite balcony leaned over to look at her. She lowered her head and sat there in a vest and shorts. After meeting his gaze, she took out her phone, took a photo, and posted it to the community group. "Uncle Li is here to see the scenery again."
A few minutes later, the old man opposite was pulled back by his wife. A few minutes later, the old man stuck his head out and cursed, "Bitch!"
Yuan Xin threw the cigarette to his feet and yelled, "Old dog!"
This was the first time she resisted the "electronic dog" in this community, and she felt very happy.
Yuan Xin sat back down. The room was full of packed express cartons. She opened a box and found his clothes inside. When the box was opened, the smell of smoke hit her face, like the smell of wood that had been left for a long time. The people working in the live broadcast room were either smoking or drinking. Yuan Xin was surrounded by the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. This smell could not be washed away in this year.
The washing machine next to her rumbled again, its water still refusing to flow. The pipes were clogged due to age. Yuanxin kicked it, and the machine whimpered before finally starting to flow freely. She suddenly realized she was leaving Hangzhou on a flight tonight, and she probably wouldn't be able to take the laundry with her. But once the water started flowing, her mood brightened considerably, and she even began to hum a song. She had no idea what it was, but it was cheesy and catchy, and after hearing it once, she couldn't stop.
Yuan Xin opened her phone and saw that Pei Sen's people had sent her more than a dozen messages, all urging her to board the plane on time. Yuan Xin awkwardly typed, "I just got up."
It was as if a valve had been opened on the other side, and dozens of messages popped up in a few seconds. "I bought you a plane ticket for tomorrow night." "I missed you." "Come soon." "I'll take you to visit SKP in Xi'an."
A moment later, the other party transferred two thousand yuan to Yuanxin. After receiving it, Yuanxin never replied to the message again.
Yuan Xin casually checked her Moments, but the background of the Moments on her phone was not her, but another girl who looked completely different from her. The locations of the Moments were all nightclubs or hotels.
She used Reis's WeChat account, and Yuanxin spent her free time during the day as Reis's online assistant. Reis was a livestreamer, and Yuanxin's job was to use Reis's identity on WeChat to maintain social media influencers.
She thought about it and decided to call Reis. After considering for a moment, she told him on the phone that she really wanted to go to Beijing.
Reese arrived five minutes later. They lived upstairs and downstairs. She looked like she had just woken up, and was not much like the girl she appeared in her circle of friends.
Reese thought Yuanxin was crazy and asked her, "If you go to Beijing, he will find out that you are not Reese, but Yuanxin."
Yuan Xin nodded and said, "Yes."
Reese asked again, "Are you eighteen?"
Yuan Xin said, "I just celebrated my birthday yesterday."
Reis suddenly felt sad and reached out to touch Yuanxin's hair. Her hair was thick and soft to the touch. "Did you eat the birthday cake?"
Yuan Xin smiled and said, "I had egg noodles downstairs yesterday, and I even made myself some lotus root starch when I got home."
Reiss hummed and turned around to help Yuanxin pack the boxes.
Yuan Xin said happily, "Sister, I've made up my mind. I'll go to Beijing to accompany him to school, and I can work in the school cafeteria."
Reiss hummed, then took out an envelope from his pajamas pocket and put it in Yuanxin's pocket without letting her see it.
Yuan Xin thought Reese was sad because he had his back to her, so she added, "Don't worry about me. I've lived on my own for so many years. Would I be killed in Beijing?"
Reese didn't want to face such a heartbreaking topic, so he asked, "What are you going to do with all those boxes? Are you going to ship them?"
Yuan Xin nodded. "I found a logistics company, but it won't ship until tonight."
Reese sat down on the couch and said, "Then I'll wait with you."
Yuan Xin nodded and sat on the balcony again to blow her underwear.
As soon as Reese spoke, Yuan Xin turned off the hair dryer, and when she spoke herself, she turned up the volume so that the other party could hear clearly.
Reese propped his chin on the armrest of the sofa and spoke to Yuan Xin. "When you go to Beijing, buy more of the things you like. Don't always think about saving money. If you have any difficulties, tell me."
Yuan Xin said, "Don't worry, I won't let myself down."
"I scolded old man Li from across the street who kept peeking at us this morning," Yuan Xin added.
"What did you scold him for?"
"Old dog!"
Reese laughed out loud and even clapped his hands, "We should have scolded him a long time ago!"
Yuan Xin said, "After I leave, I will post the surveillance video of the sex toy store in the group chat so that everyone can know Li Laogou's true face!"
Reese tutted his words, "What will happen to your dirty shop when you leave?"
Yuan Xin spent 20,000 yuan last year to open a 24-hour self-service sex toy store. Reese despised it and kept calling it a dirty store.
"I used 58 to sell it and exchanged it for 5,000 yuan for the machine. In this kind of business, as long as you are willing to lose face, you can make money."
The bunch of underwear in Yuanxin's hand was finally dried. She folded it into a small piece and put it in a transparent bag.
Reese looked at her, his head tilted against the door frame, and said, "You are the person I admire most."
Yuan Xin chuckled and said, "You are also the person I admire most."
Reis walked over, leaned against the door frame and watched her pack her luggage. Reis asked, "Will you come back to Hangzhou in the future?"
Yuan Xin shook her head. "I don't know. I'm an orphan. Even if I come to Hangzhou again, I can't say 'return'."
Reiss asked again, "Will you return to Xiapu?"
Yuan Xin smiled and said, "Of course, I will go back. That's my home."
Yuan Xin's clothes were almost full, so Reiss squatted down to help her stuff them in. "If I go to Beijing, I'll visit you."
Yuan Xin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send you the address when I find a place to live. If you're ever tortured by those bastards again, come find me and I'll give you half of my bed."
Reese smiled and said, "When you go to Beijing, don't be like me and don't learn well."
Yuan Xin didn't reply, and no one in the room spoke anymore.
After a while, Yuan Xin whispered, "What do you mean by not learning well? You're just trying to survive."

In the afternoon, when Wang Meng was playing games in an Internet cafe, his cell phone suddenly rang. A girl with an avatar from Pop Mart added him as a friend. Her name was a sun symbol. He neither rejected nor canceled the call, but returned to the interface.
After glancing at the time and realizing it was getting late, he got off the plane.
There was a very cool heavy motorcycle parked outside the Internet cafe.
When Wang Mang returned to Inner Mongolia during the summer vacation, he learned to drive a motorcycle. He didn't say that he wanted a motorcycle, but after he got the license, Wang Shu bought him a motorcycle for more than 100,000 yuan.
After Wang Shu got married, Wang Meng was not as close to him as they were when they were children, because he did not like his sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law is called Chen Qingqing. Every time she comes to Inner Mongolia, she is always very delicate. She either complains about the strong wind or is picky about her food. She finds lamb over eight months old smelly. When she first came to Inner Mongolia, her father had to kill the smallest sheep in the family to entertain her.
That Yang was not Wang Mang’s friend. He was just an excuse that Wang Mang made up so that he could avoid interacting with Shen Qingqing for the rest of his life.
Wang Mangan has a wild appearance, dark skin, a straight nose, double eyelids and narrow eyes. From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever said that he is handsome. He can only be seen as a tall and thin handsome guy. He is always approached when he wears motorcycle clothes and a helmet.
Wang Meng rarely interacted with others, but he wasn't averse to them either. This was the downward compatibility characteristic of a highly intelligent teenager. He simply felt a void within him. As a child, many people called him a genius, saying he was smarter than his brother and that he performed better in school than his brother.
"Wang Mang will definitely be more successful than his brother in the future." He didn't like to hear this, because in his heart, his brother was the most promising person.
When he was in high school in Inner Mongolia, he often rode his bike from the city to the grasslands, where he would run and run. Grass was difficult to run on; after twenty minutes, his feet would hurt, but he just kept running. He didn't like animals, but he still went to herd sheep. He didn't like meeting people, but he still climbed high mountains for pilgrimage. He simply felt that by trying more things, he would eventually find that empty space in his heart.
He felt that he had no friends, so when he lied and said that the lamb was his friend, the whole world believed him.
It was almost dark when Wang Meng entered the school. Cars were not allowed on campus, but motorcycles were. He also felt that after he had this car, more girls came to chat with him, but he basically ignored them.
Wang Mang lived in Building 37. Before he reached the teaching building, he saw a tall and thin girl standing downstairs with a takeaway in her hand.
Just as he was about to pass her, the girl suddenly asked, "Are you Wang Mang from 609?"
Wang Mangan nodded and looked at her. The girl had short hair that reached her chin, dark skin, bangs, peach blossom eyes, and was standing in front of the dormitory building with her backlit.
The girl held out the food in her hand. "I'm the cafeteria delivery guy. Here are your pancakes. I've been looking for you all afternoon and couldn't get through to you."
Wang Mang didn't answer. "I didn't order."
The girl smiled and said, "That's what someone ordered for you."
Wang Mang glanced at the takeaway bag, said nothing, and walked past her and went upstairs.
Yuan Xin, who stayed where he was, said "Fuck it".
She stayed in a small guesthouse near Peking University. Her luggage had not arrived yet, so she had to find a place to settle down first. She estimated that she would arrive in the next two days.
She opened her phone and tried to add Wang Meng again and again. At ten o'clock, Wang Meng finally added her and sent a "?"
Yuan Xin said, I am the girl who brought you pancakes this afternoon.
After sending the message, she rolled over on the bed and looked at her phone carefully, expecting him to reply. However, half an hour later, he still hadn't replied.
Yuanxin thought about it and sent another emoticon, only to find that the other party had deleted him.
......
Wang Meng, however, stayed awake all night. He sent a message to Reese on WeChat. "Why didn't you reply to me?"
No matter what he sent, there was no reply.
Two months ago, Wang Mang got a motorcycle. Several outspoken boys in the class came over to talk to him and wanted to borrow his motorcycle to drive. He was not good at chatting with others, but he was also not good at refusing anyone. After chatting for ten minutes, Wang Mang gave the key to the boy named Cai Ze.
Cai Ze rode his motorcycle for a while, then enthusiastically knocked on Wang Meng's dormitory door with a box of beer.
They drank all night, and the next morning, Wang Mang saw a new WeChat message from Reese on his phone. Cai Ze said it was a thank you and told Wang Mang he could always ask Reese out for a date. He leaned close to Wang Mang's ear and said, "I'll pay."
Wang Mangan was already twenty years old, so of course he understood all this. When he wanted to block Reese, the other party sent a long string of content, which involved the daily income of barbecue restaurants and... sex toy stores. After reading it, he found that the other party had withdrawn it.
Wang Mangan sent a “?”
The other party replied awkwardly, "I sent it to the wrong person. Is there anything you need?"
Wang Mang didn't even click on it, but opened the game and played a round. The game prompted that sharing the link would earn him extra coins, so Wang Mang directly transferred it to the first person on the list.
That is Reese.
He didn't realize he had sent the message to Reese until Reese typed, "It costs money to talk to me."
Even through the phone screen, he could see the other party's confusion. Just as Wang Meng was about to block him, the other party said, "I'm your file transfer assistant? You want to send this to me too?"
Wang Mangan sent a “?”
The other party said, "Are you stupid? All you know is to ask questions."
Wang Meng finally responded, and he sent a "Haha."
He then posted, "Then you have to pay me for posting to barbecue restaurants and sex toy stores."
