我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight他唯一能辨清的,是“底薪三百,加班费另算”。三百块。他死死盯着那三个数字,心算如飞——能换几斤红薯?能熬几日烟火?能撑到下一个发薪日吗?他算不出。但他笃定一件事:他得留下。他必须留下。这城市可弃他如敝履,他却不能自弃。他将那张皱巴巴的招工启事叠好,塞进裤兜,紧挨着那盒润喉糖——一甜一苦,一同揣在这个人的怀里。The only words he could decipher were: Base salary 300, overtime extra. Three hundred yuan. He fixed his gaze on those three digits, his mind racing—how many sweet potatoes could they buy? How many days of life? Would they last until the next payday? He couldn't do the math. But one thing was certain: he had to stay. He must stay. The city might discard him like a worn-out shoe, but he could not discard himself. He folded the crumpled job posting and tucked it into his pocket, nestling it beside the box of throat lozenges—one sweet, one bitter, both carried against the same man's heart.
