Cheng Xu's arrival seems to have made Zhou Hui really find something to do. Xu Tangcheng sees her attitude and seems to be in a hurry, as if he can't wait to cook his specialty dishes for Cheng Xu in these three days, even At the dinner table, Xu Tangcheng had been reduced to the point where he could only look at each other with Xu Tangxi, watching Zhou Hui keep putting delicious dishes in front of Cheng Xu. Xu Tangxi was not in good health, so he was not completely ignored, and received the treatment of Zhou Hui's "a few chopsticks favorite dishes".
On the morning of the last day of the holiday, Cheng Xu finished washing her face, stood in the bedroom and rubbed her stomach and asked Xu Tangcheng, "I've grown fat in more than two days, isn't it normal?"
"Normal," Xu Tangcheng nodded, "You are still eating ribs at ten o'clock, can you not grow?"
Cheng Xu smiled and said a little embarrassedly, "Auntie's cooking is really delicious."
"Then come here often." Xu Tangcheng folded the financial newspaper in his hand and stood up with a smile, "She likes you very much, and so does my dad. They both like you, who are good-looking and obedient."
Xu Tangcheng and Cheng Xu were classmates when they were undergraduates, and they were roommates for nearly half a year. They seldom saw him go out with friends. In their normal life, besides studying, they were doing scientific research. Cheng Xuhe's mentor is a big bull, the kind that normal people seem to have gone crazy. Xu Tangcheng has been to his office twice, and each time the scene is that the teacher is unkempt and staring at the computer, while Xu Tangcheng is trying to communicate with him. He doesn't know anything about things other than work. As long as what you tell him is not related to scientific research, he has nothing to answer your desires. The image and expression of that teacher really impressed Xu Tangcheng, so he was really afraid that Cheng Xu would inherit the teacher's style one day. Although the achievement is indeed very worthy of respect, it is too worrying to look at.
I didn't plan any itinerary today, so Xu Tangcheng asked Chengxu what he wanted to do on the last day. Cheng Xu thought about it for a while and said she didn't know.
This answer was completely within Xu Tangcheng's expectations, so he had to propose according to the record: "Then go out and stroll around."
After his reminder, Cheng Xu only remembered: "Oh yes, I want to buy a coat."
This made Xu Tangcheng laugh: "I didn't see you going out to buy clothes in Beijing, so you came here to go shopping?"
"Beijing is too troublesome. It takes half a day to go to a shopping mall by subway or bus. If you don't buy it in one place, it will be a long way to go to the next place."
Also, for someone like Cheng Xu who suffers from extreme motion sickness, the torment brought about by the intricate traffic network in the capital can completely overcome his desire to buy clothes.
So, Xu Tangcheng accompanied Cheng Xu to a relatively large shopping mall at home. Cheng Xu hesitated in a pile of down jackets, Xu Tangcheng gave him advice, found that he had no idea at all, and asked him, "Does it look good?"
Xu Tangcheng asked back, and Cheng Xu was the same sentence that has remained unchanged for thousands of years: "I don't know."
Xu Tangcheng pulled him to the mirror: "You just look at yourself like this, do you think this dress suits you? Compared with the grey one just now, which one looks better?"
Cheng Xu stared at the mirror for a while, then shook her head at Xu Tangcheng in the mirror. Xu Tang's success or failure began to seriously analyze for him, which length did not suit him, and which color made him more energetic... Chengxu listened ignorantly, and later, he carried thick glasses Begging him for mercy: "Don't talk about it, just tell me which one to buy, okay?"
After a little silence, Xu Tangcheng said, "The blue-black one with a hat."
Cheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around and told the salesman who had been smiling at them that he wanted that piece, and ran to pay for it happily. Xu Tangcheng looked at the back and shook his head, thinking that it would be best to find a girlfriend who can buy clothes and have an idea in the future.
While thinking about whether there are some or not, he wandered in place, he looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on a half-length black cotton coat. He looked at the dress for a while, then tilted his head, picked it up and draped it over himself.
When Chengxu came back, he heard Xu Tangcheng saying to the salesman, "This one, get me one..."
Xu Tangcheng stopped and thought about it, not sure whether to buy 185 or 190.
"Do you buy it too?" Cheng Xu leaned over and asked.
Xu Tangcheng let out an "um", and pulled the sleeves of the down jacket to visually inspect its looseness: "Buy it for someone else."
After buying the clothes, Cheng Xu saw that it was getting late. He originally wanted to go back, but Xu Tangcheng looked at his watch and said to turn around. It wasn't until Xu Tangcheng's cell phone rang that he looked at the letter and twitched the corners of his mouth. Tong Chengxu said, "Let's go, go back and eat something good."
When the door opened, Chengxu panicked instantly when she saw the birthday cake in Xu Tangxi's hand. Xu Tangcheng said "hey" and pressed his shoulders one step ahead of him: "Don't worry, tomorrow is my birthday, just because we are leaving at night, Tang Xi gave it to me ahead of time."
After listening to him, Cheng Xu was not the first to speak out, but Zhou Hui said with some disapproval: "How can a birthday be earlier, it is the day it is, it is earlier..."
"It's alright," Xu Yueliang laughed twice, and patted his wife's shoulder with his thick palms to make her relax, "It's not that particular, not this one."
The meal was delicious, but until the afternoon when he packed up and went home, Cheng Xu was still worried that Xu Tangcheng didn't tell him his birthday in advance. When Xu Tangcheng knew that he was struggling to pick things and didn't give him time to prepare gifts, Xu Tangxi knocked on the door and stuck his head into the house.
Seeing Xu Tangcheng standing against the table and looking at him with a smile, Xu Tangxi pouted and handed the paper bag to him.
"It's all your fault," she muttered and complained. "You came back suddenly that day, which surprised me and gave me no sense of surprise."
"Okay, it's my fault," Xu Tangcheng held the paper bag in one hand, and reached out and pulled her into his arms for a hug, "Thank you Tang Xi."
Xu Tangxi said "Happy Birthday" again, then sat on the bed and took the lion pillow that Xu Tangcheng had in his arms. Seeing Cheng Xu holding the newly bought coat, she asked excitedly, "Brother Cheng Xu bought new clothes?"
Little girls always have a deep passion for good-looking new clothes, even if the new clothes belong to someone else. She got up and walked in front of Cheng Xu, grabbed the dress and looked at it, smiled: "My brother chose this look, it's completely the same style as what he usually wears. But you can wear this too, you He's more student-like than my brother..."
Speaking of this, Xu Tangxi suddenly stopped, she gave a short "ah" and turned around.
"By the way, brother, I almost forgot to tell you that the pink down jacket was bought for me by brother Yizhe."
Hearing this, Xu Tangcheng stopped the hand that was folding clothes, hunched his body and fixed it there, and repeated somewhat unexpectedly: "Yizhe?"
After Xu Tangxi responded, Xu Tangcheng straightened up, and he turned around, puzzled: "How could he buy you clothes."
"Didn't I buy a present for you before? I didn't find a suitable one in the nearby shopping mall, so I went to Jinling Street."
Jinling Street is a commercial pedestrian street. It has just been built and occupies a large area of C City. Xu Tangxi had only been there once and was not familiar with the terrain there. After buying things for Xu Tangcheng that day, he looked up at the densely packed shops, and suddenly lost his direction. After turning around for a long time, he found that the general Circling around a store. While she was worried, she heard someone calling her name.
YiZhe, who was dressed in black, came over, raised his brows slightly, looked at her, and asked what she was doing.
"Come to buy something," Xu Tangxi's voice trembled uncontrollably. "After buying something, I found that I couldn't find the way. The road here is so twisted and twisted, it's too hard to recognize."
She came out after eating at noon, the temperature was high at noon, and in addition to being in the mall, Xu Tangxi certainly didn't feel cold. But after walking for a long time, the sun was about to go down. During the process of finding a way, the small jacket on my body could not resist the temperature that had dropped a lot and the strong wind blowing violently. Xu Tangxi shrank his neck and shoulders. Although he had already squeezed himself into the ball so desperately, he stomped his feet in the cold, and the hand holding the paper bag was red with cold.
Xu Tangxi was about to ask Yizhe for directions when he suddenly heard the sound of a zipper being pulled open.
"No, no," Xu Tangxi hurriedly said when he saw the thin T-shirt exposed inside YiZhe, "I'm fine, not so... cold."
She wanted to stop YiZhe from taking off his coat to herself, but in fact, YiZhe had already stopped before she finished speaking and put the clothes back on her body.
Xu Tang was silent, thinking about whether he was being self-motivated, when he heard Yi Zhe say, "It smells like smoke, you can't smell it."
Xu Tangxi was stunned for a while, then raised his head to look at YiZhe's face.
I don't know if it was because of irritability or what, she saw that YiZhe didn't even pull the zipper of her clothes, she turned her head and quickly glanced around, and when she spoke again, her tone became a little anxious.
"Come with me first, and I'll take you back later," YiZhe lowered his head and stretched out a hand toward her, "Give me something, and I'll get it for you."
"It's fine. I…"
"give me."
The words of refusal were interrupted by two simple words, and Xu Tangxi met Yizhe's gaze. Because of YiZhe's eyes at that moment, Xu Tangxi's head was still wooden when he handed out the bag in his hand. After walking two steps behind YiZhe, she realized that it wasn't just just now. Although she and YiZhe didn't look at each other very often before, every time he was like just now— The eyes are quiet, but pure and firm, like when he looks at you, he can attract you into the deep sea that belongs to him. Even if she had simply told her at the door of the unit that it was cold outside.
Yi Zhe took Xu Tangxi to a milk tea shop. After entering the door, Xu Tangxi saw three people sitting together staring at them. Sure enough, Yi Zhe walked towards them.
"Yo, little girlfriend, you're hiding deep enough." The boy with dyed chestnut hair spoke first, his malicious smile and his frivolous tone made Xu Tangxi pause for a moment. pace.
YiZhe's answer was strong: "Sleep in your sleep, stop farting."
He pulled out the seat next to the girl, motioned Xu Tangxi to sit down, and handed her the bag after she sat down. Only then did Xu Tangxi discover that there were books, test papers, and a set of wrong questions on the table.
Is Brother Yizhi studying here? Xu Tangxi was a little surprised.
"Can you drink anything here? I'll give you something lighter?"
Xu Shiyizhe said this so softly that the pen in the chestnut-haired boy's mouth crooked, and his teeth were bruised.
"Yes," Xu Tangxi glanced at the counter, "Honey grapefruit tea will do."
After he finished speaking, he added carefully: "A small cup is fine."
YiZhe nodded and went to the counter to order.
Yi Zhe left, and Xu Tangxi didn't know the people at the table, so he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just smiled awkwardly at them. Accidentally caught a glimpse of that chestnut-haired gossip, she simply turned her head and stared at YiZhe's back with a pretense. I didn't expect to watch this for a while with a belly full of thought, and suddenly felt that when YiZhe took out the money from his trouser pocket, the curved arms, the slightly moving shoulders, and the pair of legs that were standing casually put together a special combination. nice.
"Sister." The girl beside her suddenly called out to her.
She turned back and saw that she was holding her chin, looking at herself with a smile, the expression on her face was clearly the same as that of the chestnut hair. Xu Tangxi's nose was itchy, and he raised his hand to touch it.
"My name is Zhao Ruofan." The girl tapped the table with her two fingers, as if she was very happy, "I didn't expect YiZhe to be gentle and considerate."
The chestnut hair "vomited" and spat the pen in his mouth onto the table.
Before the pen had settled down, Zhao Ruofan had already turned his head, and his face changed quickly to an expressionless one: "Leave if you don't want to stay."
Another boy with small square glasses glanced at the two of them, and soon lowered his head as usual and continued to correct the papers.
"No," Xu Tangxi waved his hands in this strange but harmonious atmosphere, "We are neighbors."
Having said this, Yi Zhe had already returned, Zhao Ruofan stroked his hair and grabbed the boy next to him as if nothing had happened to give him a topic.
Yi Zhe handed the honey grapefruit tea to Xu Tangxi, and told her to stay warm here for a while, go out for a while, come back right away, and take her home after returning.
Xu Tangxi held a cup of hot drink and tried to nod at YiZhe with his neck raised.
Before turning around, YiZhe glanced at the person at the table again, and said to Xu Tangxi, "You don't need to pay attention to them, just pretend you didn't hear what they said."
Xu Tangxi choked on the slightly larger grapefruit that was sucked up, thinking that this is not good. Looking back, YiZhe had already opened the door and hurried into the cold wind.
Twenty minutes later, the door of the milk tea shop was pushed open, and YiZhe, who came back, had a large bag with pink and white strips in his hand. Xu Tangxi was very overwhelmed and felt that she really caused a big trouble for YiZhe. When YiZhe shook out her clothes, she was still talking intermittently. The sorrel-haired boy kept yelling and wailing, YiZhe threw down "Shut up" and went to the counter to cut off the label.
"That's it, Brother Yizhe bought me that down jacket, and then took a taxi to take me back, but I couldn't tell you that day." Xu Tangxi lifted his eyelids to look at the ceiling, thought for a while and said, "How about you? Let's invite Brother Yizhe to dinner, or should we thank him in some other way?"
Xu Tangcheng didn't answer immediately, he turned around and stared at the shirt in front of him. After being stunned for a while, he slowly folded the half of the shirt to the center line, folded the sleeves back, and carefully laid it along the edge.
After folding the shirt, he said, "Let me think about it."
