Lying in bed, I didn't think much about it. I read the e-book on my cell phone and went to sleep.
With an open mind, he naturally slept soundly!
When I woke up in the morning and realized that Hu Zi was sleeping in du ling's room, I put on my short sleeves. It was more comfortable for the two old men to live together. I was used to being naked at home. Now that there was a girl, it was better not to be so casual.
Just then, I suddenly thought of a problem that I had overlooked last night.
Hu Zi arranged for Du Ling to stay in his room, and he said they were innocent, so he stayed in the hotel himself. But how long will Hu Zi let Du Ling live here?
If Du Ling lived here for a long time, wouldn't Du Ling and I live in the same house every night for the rest of our lives?
I immediately shuddered at the thought of this. Why didn't I think of this yesterday? It was fine for Du Ling to stay here for a day or two, but even though they slept in different rooms for a long time, it still felt inconvenient.
Especially now that I'm on the road to getting back together with Ding Ge, don't let this make Ding Ge feel uncomfortable!
Although I am very magnanimous in my heart, the current situation is somewhat awkward.
And after so much experience, I really became very sensitive!
I think we should ask Hu Zi what he thinks when we get back to the hotel.
After getting up to wash up, I began to make breakfast. After a while, Du Ling also walked out of the room. We greeted each other, and then Du Ling went to the bathroom to wash up.
I'm going to let Du Ling have breakfast with me. After all, no matter if she doesn't live here in the future, she's still an employee of our restaurant. I saw her performance in the restaurant before. She was really serious and hardworking, which made me feel especially guilty about giving her the same salary as the other waiters. And I can see that she didn't pretend to be very guilty because she wanted to behave in front of the boss. She was honest and capable, so I really liked her.
I want to get to know her well, so that our relationship is not just between the boss and the employees, but to be friends, because it will make my work very comfortable. There are feelings between people, not just working together.
After the meal was ready, I was going to ask Du Ling to come over and eat with me. Du Ling was just dressed up. Before I could say anything, Du Ling said to me, "Brother xingyun, I'm leaving first."
I quickly asked, "Let's go? Where are you going?"
"To the restaurant." Du Ling seemed to wonder why I asked.
I couldn't help but smile and say, "Why are you going so early? Who's going to the restaurant in the morning? Don't worry. I've made dinner. Let's have breakfast first."
At the same time, I frowned. Du Ling usually doesn't go that early, right? Then this waiter is too dutiful!
Normally, we ask the waiter to arrive at the hotel before 10: 00. After all, it's not a star hotel. We don't say how much you will deduct if you are a few minutes late.
"No, Brother xingyun, I..."
Du Ling was still a little confused. I smiled again and interrupted her, "I'm not a big bad wolf. Why are you so afraid of me? I've already made my meal. If you don't eat it, you'll waste it."
Du Ling hesitated and nodded.
Then she took the initiative to get the chopsticks and bowls. As we sat at the table, Du Ling seemed very reserved and didn't even know what to say. This made me feel awkward. I took the initiative to find a topic to talk to du ling. I asked, "Du Ling, how old are you?"
"Almost 20."
They were about the same size as Lin Feng and Tang Manya, probably one year or less older than them. Hearing this answer and thinking about my age, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. I didn't dare to think about how old I was.
Time is ruthless!
However, Du Ling gave the impression that she was much older than lin feng and tang manya, not that du ling was older, but that she gave the impression that she was especially mature, not like a little girl who didn't know anything, although she looked very pure, like a lily blooming on a small road in the countryside.
Her eyes were completely different from those of the flowers growing in the greenhouse!
"Oh, where are you from? How long have you been out?"
Du ling's family was from the countryside, but to her surprise, her hometown was not Pucheng. She was from qingcheng, next to Pucheng, and grew up in the countryside.
Compared to before, qingcheng was indeed a lot behind Pucheng, and judging from Du Ling's clothes, she was probably from an ordinary family, perhaps a poorer family, but she really had an indescribable temperament, I don't know how to describe it, I think it is more appropriate to use the word "Clean."
It was not that her clothes were clean and her face clean, but that she looked very clean, like a spring that had not been contaminated by chemical products, like a lotus that was muddy and not stained.
"It's been more than a year."
Du Ling lowered her head slightly, but I still caught the sadness that flashed in her eyes. I think she had been unhappy for more than a year.
Looking at her, I couldn't help but think of the two years when I first entered the society. At first, I really felt very uncomfortable and had encountered many setbacks. I think Du Ling was the same.
"Oh, what have you done?" I asked casually as I ate.
"I worked in an electronics factory in the south for a while, and then about a year ago, I came to Pucheng with a friend. We worked in a clothing factory together, and then,"
Du Ling seemed a little absent-minded when she said these words, as if she didn't want to talk about the experience, and when she said the word "Later," her mood fluctuated, and then she was so sad that she froze for a while and didn't say anything more.
I sighed. That experience was definitely not going to be good. I couldn't help but feel guilty for exposing the scars in Du Ling's heart. At that time, Hu Zi told us that Du Ling met Hu Zi in a desperate situation. Before that, of course, she was not doing well.
I didn't mention it any further. I smiled and said to her, "No, the past is over. I won't mention it anymore. By the way, are you getting used to it at the restaurant these days?"
Only then did Du Ling take back his thoughts and smiled shyly, "It's good."
"Well, what's the matter? Just tell me and Hu Zi."
Du Ling nodded gratefully.
I said to Du Ling, "By the way, besides, you don't have to go to the restaurant so early every day. Working in the restaurant for a day is quite tiring. If you need to take a break, take a break. We are all human beings and will be tired."
"It's okay. I'm not tired. Brother tiger saved my life. I'm grateful that he took me in. I just want to repay him." Du Ling said seriously.
Hearing Du Ling's words, I couldn't help but be surprised. I didn't expect her words to be so serious. It seems that she really regards Hu Zi as her savior!
But I didn't dare to ask how Hu Zi and she met, for fear of bringing back her bad memories.
I didn't say much, just said, "Don't put any pressure on yourself anyway. Don't let yourself suffer any grievances. Of course, we should treat ourselves better."
Du ling nodded, but in the days after that, she still went to the restaurant early every morning. Her life was also very simple. Basically, it was between home and the restaurant.
After the two of them had dinner together, Du Ling took the initiative to wash the dishes again, and then she did not stop and went to the restaurant.
I wanted to go with Du Ling, but she left first, and then I went to the restaurant.
I found Hu Zi and asked him to talk to me alone in the room.
Hu Zi asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Xing Yun?"
"Have you let Du Ling sleep in your room in the future?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Hu Zi asked with a frown.
"Of course there's a problem. She's staying with you. You're staying in a hotel. It's going to be me and Du Ling."
Hu Zi said disapprovingly, "What's the matter? You don't live in the same room. Now that society has changed, there are more men and women who rent together. Why are you still so feudal?"
"It's not that I'm feudal, it's just... It feels awkward." I struggled and said, "You know I'm with Ding Ge now..."
Hu Zi said, "Xing Yun, you have always been the kindest. Du Ling is alone in Pucheng and has no friends. I just want to help her. She is so pitiful."
Hu Zi sighed, then looked at me and said, "Even Li Xiaowei, you can help. What's wrong with helping Du Ling?"
Hu Zi's mention of Li Xiaowei made me feel a little embarrassed. I scratched my head and said, "It's not that I don't want to help. I didn't say I don't want to help either."
"Then let her stay there first. I'll pay the rent for her." Hu Zi took out a cigarette and said, "The hotel is so poor that it's better for her to stay here alone than for me, isn't it? Let her stay at my place. Let her rent a house outside. They won't let us pay for it. Their family is so poor. If you can save it, you can save it, right? It's not easy to work outside."
It seems that Hu Zi knows Du Ling very well. If Du Ling's family is really poor and Hu Zi is so kind, I would like Du Ling to stay with us all the time. But if I stay with Du Ling all the time, it feels really weird.
So after thinking about it, I said to Hu Zi, "How about this, Hu Zi? Do you think it's okay? In the future, I'll stay in a hotel. What about you? Do you want to stay in a room with Du Ling?"
Hu Zi shook his head and said, "Forget it. You should stay. Ding Ge lives right across the street. It's easier for you to contact him. What am I doing here?"
"But... I'm afraid Ding Ge will be jealous."
"Ding Ge is not that stingy. Well, I'll explain to her if she's jealous. If she really doesn't agree, we'll change then. How about that?"
I nodded helplessly. Since Hu Zi said so, let's do it for the time being.
