"Where are you? How long has it been since you came home? Don't you miss me and our child?" The voice of complaint, Coco has always disliked her for being like this, but she couldn't say anything.
"I have to earn money. Didn't we agree that I would come home for four days every month? I remember it. I still have things to do. Hang up!" She always hung up the phone decisively, which was annoying, but this annoyance belonged only to the person she also disliked.
Xiang Yin had expected it to be like this, but she still wanted to do it. She wasn't stupid, but she wasn't that smart either. She looked at Xiang Xiang sleeping on the sofa and continued to spend the night with the mess left by Tang Coco.
"So annoying..." The smell of smoke and the weak woman huddled in the corner were the things Xiang Xiang hated the most.
"Be good today." It was early morning and childhood, mixed with a sense of annoyance.
"I know, Mom, you be good too!" Xiang Xiang always made Xiang Yin laugh, even if she couldn't.
"Alright, the school bus is here, hurry up."
"Goodbye, Mom!"
"Be good!"
The school bus gradually moved away, so did she.
Opening the door, there were only piles of files and uncashed checks.
Xiang Yin leaned against the wall, picked up the files on the floor, and reached into her pocket.
There was only one left, but she didn't mind. There were still many things at home that could be sold, as long as she could still afford next year's tuition.
"Damn it, is there anyone here? Come out, when will you pay back the money!!!" Here they came again, the third time this month. No matter how she explained, they wouldn't believe her.
Pushing open the door, enjoying the moment of relief as her spine aligned, then thinking about how to explain today.
"What the hell, are you coming out or not!" "Don't kick the door," Xiang Yin thought, after all, repairing the door was not cheap.
The door opened, revealing a black van and seven people blocking the door.
"What's the matter?" The door was half closed.
"Do you have the nerve to ask me? When will you pay back the money?" One person pushed the door open.
"I already said, that's the company's debt, it has nothing to do with us. If you want to find someone, go find Tang..."
Before Xiang Yin could finish speaking, a slap had already landed on her face.
"What are you doing? Do you believe me..." Once again, this time it hit her stomach, a piercing pain. Even though she hadn't eaten for two days, she still vomited something.
"No...stop, don't break anything." Weakly, mixed with helpless anger.
She couldn't do anything but watch.
The family photo on the fireplace looked at them, looking at this absurdity, the future blocked by the Christmas tree, and the not-so-warm embrace from the floor.
"No, please..." The cigarette in her hand hadn't been extinguished yet, she suddenly realized that it could set the house on fire, so she quickly used her fingers to put out the cigarette. It was stupid, but she couldn't feel the pain, and her consciousness became increasingly blurred.
Blurry vision, holding something in her hand, this wasn't her room, the luxurious lights didn't look right, the birds outside the window were singing beautifully, but they couldn't drown out the piercing sound of the instruments.
"I'll go." Surprised voice, accompanied by something falling to the ground.
"You finally woke up, old classmate!" Yellow hair, seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember, or didn't want to remember.
"I told you, when you wake up, eat something quickly. You've been sleeping for a whole day." She sat on the bed as she spoke, and Xiang Yin just wanted to know how Xiang Xiang was doing, but she couldn't say anything, a numb and weak feeling gradually spread throughout her body, and her gaze became blurry again.
Willing; unwilling; disgusted; lovely. Let's stay in this moment.
"I told you, don't you want to eat something? This is the hamburger meat you used to love~" Xiang Yin just looked at the magpies outside the window, contemplating something.
"This isn't the Xiang Yin I know." The woman started teasing Xiang Yin again. If it were before, she would have teased back, but now, she just wanted to rest.
The magpie flew to the tree, looking around, then looking into the distance. She also wanted to.
"Aren't you listening?" Then came the sensation of being touched, and a sensation of being electrocuted.
"If you don't answer me, I'll kick you out!" The woman pressed down on her, a familiar feeling, very comfortable.
The woman leaned against her face, almost touching it, but Xiang Yin remained expressionless.
"Is Xiang Xiang doing well?" The woman leaned on her stomach.
"My daughter is fine, would I harm you?" Impatient, but not Coco.
"That's good."
"I hope so."
The magpie was still looking around on the tree branch, but the sky was getting cloudy, and it also had to think about where it had spent the day.
"Do you have a cigarette?" It was the only thing Xiang Yin wanted to do.
"You should know that I don't smoke."
"But you always carry a pack of cigarettes."
"..."
"Thank you."
"You shouldn't smoke."
"I shouldn't have met you either, Jin."
"Any progress...alright, I know."
"You just told me not to smoke."
Xiang Yin's voice was very cold as she said to Jin, dangerously lighting a cigarette and sitting on the bed, her messy hair adding a touch of charm to her.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kick you out?"
The woman turned around, half annoyed, and said to Xiang Yin, holding a fine cigar in her hand.
"It's up to you." Xiang Yin extinguished the cigarette, got off the bed, and walked towards the large floor-to-ceiling window in the room.
"It's really beautiful," Jin thought, "I really want to take you down now."
Xiang Yin obviously didn't realize this, she just looked at the birds outside, those birds that were looking around. She had also envied them, and she had also looked around like those birds - and she had also loved.
"So Xiang Yin can also be shy, I didn't expect that." Xiang Yin was about to say something, but Jin hugged her from behind, once again feeling that electric sensation and the unstoppable imagination.
"Don't you understand, Xiang Yin?" Jin almost whispered in her ear, and Xiang Yin could even feel her breath.
"I...I understand, let go of me first."
The last time Xiang Yin had been like this was half a year ago when Coco came back.
"Then I won't be polite, my little kitten."
Jin slowly reached into Xiang Yin's clothes, revealing something that shouldn't belong to her in her pristine pajamas.
"Be gentle...you're too...mm..."
Jin had already kissed her, just like before, Xiang Yin cooperated, she had learned to enjoy it a long time ago.
The two kissed deeply, and Jin's tongue skillfully extended into Xiang Yin's mouth.
"Just...just like this. Will we be seen?" Xiang Yin's face was flushed, and she was panting.
"This is not a question a little kitten should ask~"
Saying this, Jin began to knead Xiang Yin's breasts, her technique was very gentle, it was what Xiang Yin liked.
"Just like this, let it pass like this..." Xiang Yin hoped.
"Do you want a cigarette?" Jin's voice, a elegant wine glass in a messy room, didn't match.
"If you help me smoke, then...I want~"
"Xiang Xiang's body is still so sensitive." Jin said.
"It's because you're too intense!"
Jin laughed, Xiang Yin was always so cute, she never got tired of playing with her.
"So when are you going to divorce that guy?"
"We agreed not to talk about this."
Silence, but not really silence.
"You're still so love-struck."
"You're still so impatient."
Jin laughed again, tidied her hair a bit, and put on her clothes to go out.
"What are you doing?"
"Going out to find the next woman."
"Bastard!"
"The money is in the usual place, and also..."
"What is it?"
"Two months."
Silence, but it couldn't make people silent.
"I understand, I will talk to Coco."
"I really don't know how you fell for that bastard Coco, sigh~"
"Don't you dare say..."
The sound of the door closing, more than one door closing.
