Chapter 59
night.
Xia Surou sat alone in the company office, staring blankly at Jiangcheng in the night.
She was upset and had mixed feelings in her heart.
The benefactor I longed for could actually be such a person!
Shouldn't the little hero of childhood be a handsome, dashing, and resolute man like a special soldier?
I must have watched too many Korean dramas!
Xia Surou was very upset and wanted to find someone to talk to.
In this city that is both familiar and unfamiliar, she actually has few friends.
Xia Surou picked up the phone and first called her best friend Feng Weixue.
But no one answered Feng Weixue’s phone.
Xia Surou looked through her address book and unknowingly, her finger pointed at the words Chen Xingran.
The call was dialed.
The call was quickly answered.
Chen Xingran's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's so late and you haven't slept yet?"
"Xingran, can you chat with me?"
"I have something on my mind. Where are you? I'll come find you."
Xia Surou thought for a moment and said, "Is it okay if I want to see where you live?"
Chen Xingran joked: "I live in my sister-in-law's dormitory. Such a simple place is not suitable for a young lady like you to come here."
But Xia Surou said seriously: "I really want to see where you live."
"Okay." Chen Xingran then reported an address and then simply tidied up the room.
Half an hour later, Xia Surou walked into this small world that only belonged to migrant workers.
Xia Surou walked into the dormitory step by step. She saw a couple arguing over the money for their son's milk powder, and an uncle smoking low-quality cigarettes to save a down payment for his son's house...
In the corridor, Xia Surou kept thinking of two people. One was the young man who saved her from the fire, and the other was Liu Daqiang whom she met during the day.
Did that young man become what he is now because of the hardships he experienced in life?
Xia Surou walked to the door of Chen Xingran's house. Before she could knock on the door, Chen Xingran opened the door.
Chen Xingran saw that Xia Surou was still holding red wine in her hand. Chen Xingran smiled and said, "It smells like wine. It turns out that you are here to drink with me. Is the eldest lady worried?"
Xia Surou walked into Chen Xingran's house. Chen Xingran's house was a single room, not big, but very clean and warm.
"Have you always lived here?"
"Sometimes I stay at my senior brother's house."
Chen Xingran moved a chair and asked Xia Surou to sit down.
Xia Surou looked around Chen Xingran's residence. The floor was made of cement, the walls were slightly yellowed pink, and there was a fan that was making a roar above his head.
"I've never lived in a place like this," she murmured.
Chen Xingran said: "This place is already very good. Many people are satisfied if they can have a sheltered place to live."
Xia Surou said to herself: "Yes, not everyone can be born like me, with no worries about food and clothing. Maybe he has become like this because he has experienced the hardships in the world."
Xia Surou took out the red wine at this moment and said to Chen Xingran, "Can you have a drink with me?"
