Xia Zhen put the piece of paper away, shut down the computer that had just been turned on, changed her clothes, picked up her bag and went shopping.
When you are in a bad mood, shopping is a good way to relieve yourself.
She called to make an appointment with a friend, but after calling three times, she said she wanted to accompany her boyfriend or husband.
Xia Zhen suddenly felt desolate. These are all friends who grew up together, and some time ago she complained that she didn't go shopping with them for tea recently. Now she is dating them, but they are all guys who value sex over friends. "Won't you get tired of being together every day? Can't you separate for an afternoon? Xiao Biesheng is newly married, do you understand!"
A laugh came from the other end of the phone, "You said it as if you understood it very well, you little cabbage with no experience."
Xia Zhen: "... I've never eaten pork, but I've seen pigs walk."
"Pfft... have you seen it?"
Xia Zhen: Why did she tell this to a young woman? "Forget it, I'll go shopping by myself and buy beautiful clothes. A wife like you is about to become a mother, so just go and buy maternity clothes."
"Hmph! Don't be complacent. Although you always say that you won't get married until you're thirty, we're just listening to you. Maybe you'll get married someday when you meet your real man."
Hearing this, Xia Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and she pretended to be meaningless and said, "How could this kind of thing happen to me?"
Apart from her parents, Xue Chen and the others, her colleagues in the company knew a little about her relationship with Pei Chengan. She didn't tell her other friends, and she didn't show her affection in her circle of friends. Anyway, it's fake love, and it's not good to know too many people.
But now, she suddenly wants to make it public. There is no reason, she just wants to, of course, she just wants to.
In the past, she often went shopping alone, and she still enjoyed shopping alone. She loves beauty so much, and when she sees beautiful clothes, she wants to wear them on herself. In the past, she always lingered, but today she was a little absent-minded.
She couldn't help but wonder if Pei Chengan had fun climbing the mountain? Is that mountain high or difficult to climb? If she goes too, will she be able to climb up smoothly without being hindered? Also, is there any girls among his companions, will he hold other women's hands...
Xia Zhen was frightened by her wild thoughts, she tried her best to get Pei Chengan out of her mind. For spiritual sustenance, she turned on the camera to take a selfie, processed it a little and sent it to Moments, writing: It’s not bad to go shopping alone.
Soon someone replied:
[It's like it's your first time shopping alone.]
[I already feel your loneliness through your words.]
[I will accompany you shopping in the future.]
[Where is it, I'll pick you up.]
The first two were posted by classmates and friends, the third was by Pei Chengan, and the fourth was by Xue Chen. Before Xia Zhen could reply, Xue Chen called.
"Where are you? The Pedestrian Street?" Xue Chen asked, Xia Zhen usually likes to go shopping in the Pedestrian Street, which he knows very well.
Xia Zhen hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Yes."
"I come over… "
"No need!" Xia Zhen hurriedly stopped, "Pei Chengan will come pick me up later."
"I have something to bring you."
"What?" Xia Zhen wanted to refuse, but felt that it was too obvious and would hurt the relationship between the two of them.
Xue Chen didn't say clearly, "I'll know later. I'll be there now. I should be there in 20 minutes. See you later." He hung up the phone resolutely, not giving Xia Zhen a chance to refuse.
Xia Zhen was helpless, anyway, she had done all the express and hints, and she didn't care about the other things, she still had a lot of troubles.
There was another message on the phone, and after reading it, she checked Moments, and was surprised to find that Pei Chengan also posted on Moments, along with a picture.
The picture is taken of a mountain road, a dirt road, which has not been excavated by hand, but it does not have a simple and quiet feeling. There were several well-built men on the road, apparently his companions. Pei Chengan wrote in Moments: Although I am not alone, I still feel lonely.
Xia Zhen couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, typed quickly with her fingers, and quickly posted a comment. [Your friend will be sad knowing that you have no sense of existence.]
After a while, Pei Chengan replied to her: [My girlfriend knows that I miss her, so she should be happy.]
Xia Zhen burst out laughing, and when she realized that passers-by were looking at her, she stopped immediately, slandering Pei Chengan's rhetoric in her heart.
What she didn't know was that just after Pei Chengan replied to her, his companion behind him rushed up and jokingly said, "Your physical strength is failing. You used to walk this mountain road without changing your expression. Why are you so tired now?" It's gone." His face turned red.
Pei Chengan said, I'm not tired. But don't explain it as good, just take it as tired.
Xia Zhen's mood really improved, and she replied back and forth with him as she walked. They have no mutual friends, and others cannot see their conversations, so Xia Zhen has no scruples.
Xia Zhen: [Is the scenery on the mountain beautiful?]
Pei Chengan: [Beautiful.]
Xia Zhen: [Is the girl on the mountain beautiful?]
Pei Cheng'an: [There are no girls on the mountain, I have one in my phone, it's very beautiful.]
Xia Zhen: [Teacher Cang?]
This time Pei Chengan took a little longer to reply, just when Xia Zhen was secretly complacent, Pei Chengan replied: [There is only Miss Xia in the phone.]
Xia Zhen: [What about the computer?]
On the barren hills in the suburbs, Pei Chengan's heart was extremely complicated. Although she knew that it was not surprising that Xia Zhen would say these words due to Xia Zhen's personality, she was always quite reserved in front of him.
When a girlfriend puts away her reserve, what does it mean? This question is worth pondering.
Pei Chengan struggled to type two words: [No.]
Xia Zhen was halfway through replying when Xue Chen called. "I'm here, where are you?"
Xia Zhen looked up and looked around, only to realize that she had unknowingly walked to the end of the pedestrian street. Just as she was about to report the coordinates, she heard Xue Chen say, "I saw you."
Xia Zhen also saw Xue Chen, who was less than 50 meters ahead, and was running over quickly, with a rare smile on his face, and he was in a good mood.
Xue Chen quickly ran up to her and reached out to take the shopping bag in her hand. Xia Zhen squeezed subconsciously, and said, "I can just hold it myself, it's not heavy."
Xue Chen took it anyway, and said, "It's okay for a girl to be a little coquettish once in a while."
Such words are really not like what Xue Chen would say in the past. "It turns out that I am a girl in your eyes."
Xue Chen paused, his expression changed slightly, and he lowered his eyes, "You have always been a girl in my eyes."
"It turns out that you have always regarded me as a younger sister instead of a younger brother. I am very relieved."
Xue Chen raised his eyes and looked at her steadily, extremely serious. Xia Zhen panicked, and changed the subject before he could speak, "You said you have something for me, where is it?"
"on the car."
Xia Zhen pursed her lips and said, "What is it? I'll go and get it with you." After you get it, it's over. Although the manpower is short, she shouldn't be so ruthless, but she always feels guilty staying with Xue Chen.
Xue Chen didn't answer him, but looked at the ice cream shop in front of him, and said, "Please treat me to ice cream."
Xia Zhen frowned, feeling helpless towards Xue Chen like this, if he offered to treat her to dinner, she would just refuse, but he asked her to treat him when he had something to give her.
He knew her character well.
"All right."
The two walked into the ice cream shop together. There were quite a few customers, most of them couples. In spring, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, but the temperature is very high at noon. After a long winter, girls can finally eat ice cream without any scruples.
Xue Chen asked Xia Zhen: "Or vanilla, taro and strawberry? Mango?"
Those were her favorite flavors, but she shook her head and said, "I'll have strawberry and banana, and lemon."
"Don't you like strawberry flavor?"
"I like it now. Pei Chengan bought me delicious strawberries last night, and I fell in love with the strawberry flavor." She smiled sweetly, but felt a little guilty in her heart. If he really liked her, but she said this in front of him, it would undoubtedly hurt him, but the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, the most important thing is to let him give up as soon as possible.
"Didn't you say that strawberries and strawberries taste different?" Xue Chen regained his indifferent demeanor.
"I feel the same way now, but I just want to eat strawberry flavor now."
Xue Chen didn't speak anymore. He didn't like hearing Pei Chengan's name very much, and he didn't want to see Xia Zhen's smile when talking about him.
The ice cream balls are in a beautiful glass bowl, which is very beautiful. Xia Zhen took out her mobile phone to take pictures, posting food and other things, she likes it the most. When he was about to shoot, Xue Chen pushed his own bowl over, and the two bowls were side by side. "Let's shoot together."
Xia Zhen thought for a while and pressed the camera button.
She quickly edited it and sent it out, and it didn't take long for someone to comment. She has always been very active in the circle of friends, has many friends, and generally has a lot of comments.
Many people expressed their desire to eat, and many asked who she was with. Only Pei Chengan told her not to eat too much.
For some reason, Xia Zhen always felt that he still had a lot to say, such as the harmful ingredients in ice cream and the harm of frozen food to the body.
"Ordinary men don't like women who are still playing with their mobile phones on a date." Xue Chen said suddenly, Xia Zhen's smile made him uncomfortable, and he always felt that it was because of Pei Chengan.
Xia Zhen put away her smile and her phone, "Oh, then I won't play anymore."
"I'm different. We're so familiar. I don't mind that you know your bad habits, but others don't." Xue Chen pointed.
It was already obvious who he was implying, Xia Zhen felt the need to explain. "I seldom play with my phone when I'm with Pei Chengan." It's a fact, although he's not a very witty person, but when she's with him, she really doesn't want to play with her phone. Recently, she seldom posts on Moments, and only occasionally reposts some interesting things before going to bed at night. Then he waited for Pei Chengan to tell her to go to bed early.
Xue Chen's heart was stuffed, so he didn't talk about this topic anymore. "eat quickly."
