The weather in Beijing was a little dry. Chu Xin got off the train and didn't know where to go.

It was too expensive to take a taxi.

She also didn't know where to go by bus.

There were still two months before school started. She didn't have a place to live and didn't have that much money.

Beijing was so big. Where was she going to find a place to live?

She really wanted to see Ma Tianyu, but in such a big city, she would be swallowed by the waves if she wasn't careful.

She looked at the high prices in the shops and was a little distressed and distressed. Brother Tianyu must be having a hard time.

In the end, she found a safe and cheaper hotel and brought two suitcases. These were all she had.

But she was a little conflicted between looking for a job and looking for Ma Tianyu first.

Although she always acted pitiful, she still didn't want him to worry.

In the end, she found a job as a waitress in a restaurant. The salary wasn't high. She was very satisfied with just food and accommodation.

In fact, even though her family wasn't doing well, her mother and grandmother always gave her what they could.

Her mother said that her hands were used to play the piano and didn't let her do these things.

Later, her mother passed away and her grandmother was in poor health. She then started to do housework.

She asked a waitress who lived with her. Most of the Beijing drifters lived in the basement.

Although she didn't know where Brother Tianyu lived, she didn't need to think to know that it wouldn't be good.

She went out every day during her rest time, thinking that it would be good if she could meet him. But she didn't even once. Instead, she provoked a very difficult person.

This wanton rich young master in front of her pestered her when he was free, sending her flowers and gifts.

Because of this, the manager had already talked to her. It wasn't that she didn't reject him, but this kind of cheeky smile really made her feel a little helpless. And although he looked like a playboy, he didn't go overboard.

At most, he couldn't wait to eat here three times a day and asked her to send him every time. He didn't touch her and didn't get angry when she rejected him.

He probably really liked her.

Chu Xin touched her own face. Even if she only used the cheapest baby cream, her skin was still unbelievably good. Her skin was creamy, white with a hint of rosy, gentle like jade. It was even more pure and flawless than the mutton fat jade she grew up with.

She knew that she was good-looking.

But why did he like her?

Was it because of his face?

Where's Brother Tianyu?

What did he like about her?

She pursed her lips tightly as she recalled the seriousness in the young man's eyes. She couldn't stay in this place any longer. She would be able to go to school in half a month.

It was a pity.

It was already afternoon, but the sun was still scorching hot. She had been running under the scorching sun for an entire day. She was sweating profusely and felt very uncomfortable. Even though she was wearing a hat, her face was still bright red. She drank a mouthful of water, held her stomach, and lowered her eyes.

Her job was gone, her house was nowhere to be found, and her wallet was stolen. She chased after it for a long time before she found her wallet in a garbage dump. As expected, it was empty. She should be glad that her identification card was still there, and her luggage was also stored in the hotel. Otherwise, she would have nowhere to go even if she wanted to cry.

Right now, she really didn't have a single cent. Originally, she had withdrawn some money to rent a house. However, when she thought of the money in her wallet, she pursed her lips in grievance.

She massaged her aching legs and continued walking. Unknowingly, she had walked to a square.

As evening approached, the square gradually became more and more crowded. She drank the last bit of water and sat on the steps. Not far away, a man was singing. His singing was quite good.

She sat there for a long time, listening very seriously. However, she was a little conflicted in her heart. Should she also sing?

The man had long noticed her. After all, Chu Xin's appearance was too outstanding. Furthermore, she was listening so seriously. At this moment, there were fewer people. He closed the guitar case and went over.

Chu Xin smiled. "You sing really well." Her tone was exceptionally sincere.

The man was mesmerized by her smile. After a moment, he came back to his senses. "Do you know how to sing?"

Chu Xin thought for a moment and nodded.

The man handed the guitar to her, but Chu Xin shook her head. She was a little embarrassed. "I don't know how to play the guitar."

"Then I'll accompany you. How about a song?"

He only saw that this girl was really good-looking and decided to support her. No matter what, she was still his little fan.

Chu Xin's voice was very pleasant to listen to. Her range was wide, and she could freely change between high and low notes without any effort. Most importantly, it made people feel very comfortable. She sang Wang Fei's song, which had a different kind of charm. From time to time, passersby would stop to listen. Chu Xin's face turned red from being stared at by them.

Zhou Qing looked at the passersby putting money and coins into the guitar case from time to time. He smiled and squinted his eyes. His hands did not stop playing the strings.

The people around were not satisfied. They clapped and cheered. In the end, Chu Xin sang a total of three songs.

"Not bad, sister. My name is Zhou Qing. I'm from the northeast. What's your name?" The man revealed his big white teeth and smiled very brightly.

"Chu Xin."

"That's a good name. Oh no, I have to go. Sister, leave me your contact number. If you want to sing, find me. I'll accompany you. I'm a professional."

"I don't have a cell phone yet." Chu Xin touched her head embarrassedly.

"It's okay. This is my number. Take it. If you want to sing, call me. I'll accompany you."

Chu Xin pursed her lips and smiled softly. She did not answer.

The man carried the guitar and ran away in a hurry. In the face of the complaints of passersby, he squeezed and apologized with a smile. "I'm sorry, everyone. I'm in a hurry. Thank you, thank you."

She looked at the number in her hand and a few notes. She smiled and went to a noodle restaurant.

Chu Xin looked at the person in front of her. She thought that her luck was not very bad. At least she finally met the person she wanted to see.

She took off her hat and tidied her messy hair. She raised her hand and waved at him, smiling sweetly.

Ma Tianyu felt that he was hallucinating, but the warmth in his arms told him that it was not a dream.

"Why are you here?"

"I got into Beijing." Chu Xin rubbed her head. Her big watery eyes seemed to be saying, "Praise me, praise me!"

Ma Tianyu rubbed her head. "You took the college entrance exam this year?

Shouldn't you be in the second year of high school? "

"I skipped a grade. Brother Tianyu, you know that I'm very smart." She smiled with her eyes curved. She was not ashamed of boasting at all.

"Which school?" Of course, he knew that she had always been very smart, but he could not help but worry.

"Beijing Foreign Language."

"Well done, Chu Xin."

He tidied her hair that he had messed up, but Chu Xin's face slowly turned red. Like the rosy clouds, he shifted his gaze away.

Although she had been hungry for the whole day, Chu Xin still ate slowly. Ma Tianyu opened a bottle of soda for her and handed it to her. He told her not to leave. After he got off work, he would send her back.

Although Chu Xin ate very slowly, she still finished a big bowl of noodles. She looked at the time and sat in a corner with her small schoolbag. She blinked her big eyes and the dimples at the corner of her mouth appeared. Even if the apron was ugly, Brother Tianyu still looked so handsome in it.

After some time, Ma Tianyu finished packing and took Chu Xin's small schoolbag. He said goodbye to the boss and walked out holding her hand.

He sent her to the hotel. The front desk told Chu Xin that her deposit had been used up. Chu Xin blushed. Ma Tianyu touched his pocket and also blushed. He had just sent some money home yesterday and now his pocket was empty.

After a moment of silence, he pulled over two suitcases. "Let's go. I'll take you to where I live."

"Brother Tianyu, can you take me in for a few more days? I lost my wallet today, but fortunately, I still have my ID and I met you." She jumped up, grabbed his neck, and kissed him gently on the cheek.

"Be careful." He covered her with his hand to prevent her from falling.

Chu Xin thought that maybe she should thank the thief.

The conditions of the basement were definitely not good. It was stuffy and damp. In this space of less than ten square meters, there was only a bed and a small table. The quilt on the bed was not folded and there were a few clothes scattered around.

Ma Tianyu's ears turned red. He put down the suitcase and stammered, "Um, sit down first. It's a little messy here." He said as he hurriedly put away the clothes.

Chu Xin nodded obediently. She glanced at the bed that was not much bigger than a single bed and blinked.

Ma Tianyu squatted outside unnaturally, but the sound of water in the room made his entire face turn red. He hesitated for a long time and covered his ears, but even his ears were steaming.

Chu Xin put on her clothes and put them into a bag. Her hair grew very quickly and had already reached her waist. She slowly dried her hair with a towel and knocked on the door. "Brother Tianyu, I'm done." She went to open the door.

Ma Tianyu panicked and looked left and right, but didn't look at her. Chu Xin quietly curved her eyes. She was still shy, but seeing him like a rabbit, she calmed down.

Chu Xin lay on the bed and Ma Tianyu made a mattress on the floor. The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time and had endless things to talk about.

Ma Tianyu turned over. The room was dark and he couldn't see anything. He listened to Chu Xin's steady and light breathing and felt very relieved.

When Chu Xin woke up the next day, Ma Tianyu was already gone.

There was still a warm breakfast on the table. He left a note and money.

Chu Xin washed up simply and ate breakfast unhurriedly.

She began to tidy up the room, although there wasn't much to tidy up. She looked at the narrow and cramped room and pursed her lips.

Actually, she still had money in her hands, but she didn't want to use it. It was her mother's compensation.

Grandma had also left her some money and jewelry, but she wouldn't use it unless it was a last resort.

She had already grown up and had to rely on herself.

Inspired by yesterday, she decided to go to a western restaurant to play the piano. It was safe and clean.

She looked at her hands. They were very beautiful, slender and soft, white and tender. They were perfect.

In the past, she didn't know why her mother stubbornly wanted her to practice the piano. Even if the conditions weren't good, she wouldn't let her give up. She used to like playing the piano, but when she saw how hard her mother worked, she didn't want to play anymore. Her mother said, "Even if you don't like it, practice well. Maybe it can help you in the future."

She blinked and took out a dress. The material was pure cotton and the style was simple. Only the hem of the dress was embroidered with green patterns, which had a retro charm.

This was personally made for her by her grandmother.

Her grandmother was born in a river town in Jiangnan. Her ancestors were from a rich family. She knew a little about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, especially embroidery. Her grandfather was a tailor, so he learned a lot. When he was free at home, he often wore glasses and embroidery to supplement the family.

She didn't know when, but her grandmother had made a lot of clothes for her. Even the wedding dress was made for her.

She lowered her eyes and covered the mist in her eyes.

The dress was waist-tight. She had a slender frame. Now that she had lost some weight, she was even more delicate. After looking at it and seeing that there was no problem, she carried a small bag and went out.

A beautiful girl was always moving. She played the piano well. The guests in the restaurant looked at her from time to time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After playing for three hours, her fingers were stiff. Fortunately, her salary was daily. The manager said that if a guest gave her a tip, she would split it half.

She took the salary that was more than expected and politely thanked him.

She bought a foldable bed and asked someone to send it to the basement. The person who came looked at her in surprise.

Ma Tianyu came back from work and saw the foldable bed in the room. He licked his dry lips but didn't say anything.

At night, Chu Xin quietly climbed out of bed and squatted beside Ma Tianyu. After looking at him for a long time and making sure that he was asleep, she kissed him gently on the mouth like a thief.

"Brother Tianyu, I really, really like you."

After some time, Ma Tianyu opened his eyes. His eyes were clear. He turned sideways and buried his head. His nose was a little sore. "I really, really like you too.
