Chapter 37: The Teddy Bear Doll

This teddy bear doll is close to 1.7 meters, and its two eyes are decorated with black agate, which is large and round, black and shiny, and glows with a faint light unique to gemstones.

"Now, this white one is mine, and this brown fur is yours, okay?"

Li Jia pounced on the white bear and looked at Su Huan expectantly. She wasn't originally a short girl, but she looked petite against the backdrop of a big bear.

"Okay, okay?" Li Jia began to be coquettish.

"Look at this bear, it's a little taller than you. It's so big, we can't get it back. ”

Ever since Li Jia generously asked people to wrap up the dolls they liked, the clerk has been watching the two of them closely. As soon as I heard that they had questions, I immediately stepped forward to answer: "Miss, if you really want two bears and dolls that are more than one meter and two meters tall, our store will provide home delivery service." ”

"You see that everyone has a door-to-door delivery service, okay, okay, let's buy it together." ”

Su Zhen was still a little hesitant, the clerk looked at the game, and continued to lobby her: "This is our store's new product this season, they are a pair of good friends, the brown one is called Jiji, and the white one is called Xiangxiang." It's a pair of big bears designed with Chinese elements, limited edition!"

Su Zhen didn't have a doll complex, but seeing that Li Jia's eyes were getting more and more pitiful, he had to nod, "Okay, okay!"

Su Zhen touched the bear's hair, if this bear hollowed out the cotton inside, it would be able to hide two thin people. It's so big, I don't know how much it costs.

At the beginning, in order to get away from home and work in S City, Su Zhenzhen said that he would be self-reliant and not take a penny from his family.

She followed the bear fur to the label, and opened it in fear, four digits... OK.

Silently calculating the balance in the card, this month's salary has been paid, and it should be no problem to eat a few more buckets of instant noodles.

"Let's go, let's pay. ”

Li Jia took the card and swiped it magnificently, and the clerk said politely and politely: "Miss, may I ask what is your signature address?"

"Send it to two addresses. These plus this white one were sent to No. 86, Xinshi Community. This brown one..."Li Jia shrugged her nose and looked at Su Yuan, "I forgot the address of your house." ”

"Wait, I haven't paid yet!"

Li Jia rolled her eyes at her, "What's yours and mine, just settle the bill together." Just give you a doll, don't make a fuss about it, my Li Jia's friend doesn't like this. ”

"Got it, I'm not going to twist it hahahahaha. Please send it to Building 6, Puxing Road Garden Community. ”

After the two of them finished buying the bear, they almost visited the shops in the mall. Li Jia's armpit bag was already stuffed with small tickets, and a few would fly out as soon as she took something.

"Is this good-looking?"

"Good looking. ”

"What about this one?"

"It's also beautiful. ”

"Which of the two looks better?"

"It's all good-looking, let's buy it together!"

"Su Zhen, why are you so perfunctory like Wang Pinchuan. ”

Li Jia was a little angry, "Did you let you come out to go shopping with me just to listen to you perfunctory me?"

"Jiajia, I'll see how many outfits you've changed this afternoon. If you look at the bills in your bag, I'm aesthetically tired. ”

Su Zhen finally understood why her boyfriend didn't like to go shopping with girls. It turns out that if you don't buy it, you will lose your enthusiasm for shopping, and you will be really tired enough.

"Su Yuan, you're not a woman, are you? At the end of the day, you don't buy a single piece of clothing. ”

"Don't you look at what kind of store you visit? Dior, Burberry, Chanel, Prada? A piece of clothing is worth a month's salary, with my current financial resources, how can I afford it?"

Saying this, Li Jia was stunned, the little sisters who used to play together were all people in their circle, and they always bought whatever they liked, but she ignored the current economic level.

"Forget it, I didn't think about you, and I won't buy it, let's go to dinner. ”

"Actually, you can go shopping again..."

"I just happened to be at the restaurant, so let's eat. ”

The two sisters walked into the Cantonese restaurant hand in hand, Michelin deserves to be Michelin, the whole store is elegant and atmospheric, and the atmosphere does not lose its charm. The quaint wooden chair is topped with white silk printed cushions, which are set with a tablecloth.

Since it is a high-priced restaurant, there is no queue for meals. As soon as the two men arrived, they were led to sit down.

"You're a southerner, come on!"

"So this restaurant eats Cantonese food?"

"Do you have any taboos? If not, I'll introduce you to some of my favorite dishes. ”

"Nope. ”

Su Zhen scanned the QR code on the menu with his mobile phone, "How about we have a steamed grouper, abalone stewed chicken, iron plate beef bones, and coconut milk bird's nest for dessert?"

Li Jia couldn't help nodding, these dishes sounded delicious.

"Jiajia, I've always been curious about your relationship with Shinagawa. From the first day I joined, I always felt like the two of you knew each other. But when did you become so familiar with me every day? Could it be when he took you to the gymnasium to sign a venue?"

Li Jia looked at Su Yi and smacked her lips: "A woman's intuition is really terrifying." ”

"And you just said that he was very perfunctory when he went shopping with you, when did you go shopping together, do you have any ulterior secrets?"

"What's the ulterior, I grew up with him. ”

"Childhood sweethearts?" Su Zhen propped up the table in shock, "No, you are still hiding, obviously so romantic." ”

Li Jia rolled her eyes, "What is romantic or not, we haven't developed in that direction." ”

"You two are in love, don't you have an idea? ”

"What's impossible, it's probably too familiar, don't call. He only treats me as a sister. ”

When the dish came up, Su Yi took an abalone and gave it to Li Jia, "How do you know that he only treats you as a sister?"

He said it himself. ”

"Ouch, you must have had an affair with each other on this topic. ”

"Su Zhen, when did you become so gossipy? Hey, this abalone is really delicious, tender and juicy, especially fresh. ”

"The essence of Cantonese cuisine is to pay attention to the word "fresh", which is worthy of a Michelin restaurant, and the taste is not bad. ”

Su Zhen is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, and he only asks Li Jia out of concern for his friends.

Seeing that Li Jia was reluctant to answer, she diverted the topic from her.

The last plate of teppanyaki beef bones was served, and the dishes were finished.

This beef bone is made by heating butter in a teppanyaki pan, then adding the cow bones and frying them over low heat. When serving, the onions are placed on the iron plate, drizzled with the stir-fried sauce, sprinkled with millet spicy rings, and finally served on the table with the iron plate.

The cowboy bones were sizzling on the dining table, and the steam was swirling, and Li Jia couldn't see Su Yu's face on the other side.

The winter in S City has always been very cold, so cold that when you say a word, it will emit white mist like this plate of cow bones.

Unlike the physical attacks that blow with strong winds blowing in the northeast, the cold and damp of S City quietly burrows into the layers of wrapped bodies. It's more like a chemical reaction that makes people shiver from the bottom of their bones.

The same was true in the winter of six years ago.

The teenagers and girls in the second year of high school are full of spirit and youth. In addition to studying, exams, there is also sentimentality and purity of seeing the wind and the clouds not like the clouds.

The adolescent Li Jia is full of fantasies and expectations for love. Although she will also be proud to receive a lot of snacks and love letters, she is nothing more than the vanity of being affirmed and held. The person she likes is Wang Pinchuan, who grew up together.

I don't know when she has relied on this playmate very much, and she has read a lot of romance novels, Li Jia feels that she just likes and loves Wang Pinchuan.

So on Christmas Day in the second year of high school, she made an appointment with Wang Pinchuan to meet at the commercial archway at the back door of the school on Christmas Eve.

Li Jia has been looking forward to this day for a long time, a month ago, she deliberately went to learn to make chocolate, and planned to use it to confess to Wang Pinchuan on Christmas Day.

Probably the head teacher was also in a hurry to celebrate the holiday with her boyfriend, and Li Jia's class rarely did not stay in class, and school was out early.

It was still early before the appointed time, her heart was beating hard, and she simply went directly to the basketball court to find Wang Pinchuan.

Wang Pinchuan has grown very tall, since the third year of junior high school, he has been like a bamboo shoot in spring, he can grow a lot in one day, and he will soon be a head taller than Li Jia.

Wang Pinchuan, who loves to play basketball, joined the school basketball team and practiced on the basketball court with his teammates every day after school.

The boys on the pitch wore tank tops and were sweating profusely in the bitter cold of winter.

"I'm not fighting, I have an appointment today. Wang Pinchuan propped his hands on his knees, panting.

"It's only half past five, why are you going?"

"That's it, it's Christmas Eve, isn't it possible that your kid is going to date which girl?"

A group of young and restless muscular men in the stadium will laugh and show an expression that can only be understood when the word "date" is spoken.

Li Jia bought a bottle of water for Wang Pinchuan, and walked to the court in a huff along the way. She didn't dare to put her hand in her pocket, for fear that the temperature on her hand would melt the chocolate.

In order to resist the cold, she could only keep breathing hot air from her mouth to her hands, giving her cold red hands a little warmth.

The school attaches great importance to the basketball team, and in order to give the players a good training environment, the basketball court is built in the gymnasium.

Li Jia walked through most of the campus, walked to the door of the court, and was about to enter the door when he heard the conversation of this group of boys ridiculing Wang Pinchuan.

Now she is embarrassed to go in, the heroine of this ridicule is her, and she must not be coaxed to go in now.

She hid by the door, waiting for Wang Pinchuan to come out, and wanted to hear how Wang Pinchuan talked about her with his friends and how he felt to her.

"What are you dating a girl? I just asked Li Jia out. Wang Pinchuan said disappreciatively.

"Li Jia?" The team members immediately coaxed: "Isn't Li Jia a girl? She is still the goddess of our grade, how many men want to date her." ”

"Don't be funny, I've never treated her like the opposite sex. She's a goddess to others, but to me she's just a sister who grew up together. ”

"No, on Christmas Eve, I went on a date with Li Jia, and you said that you had no other thoughts, but we don't believe it. Everyone is a man, so why are you shy? ”

"That's it! I stopped playing and rushed to a date. ”

A few shirtless boys laughed, Wang Pinchuan was anxious, his face flushed and said, "Which of you will like your sister?"

When Li Jia heard this, she couldn't listen to it anymore. She likes Wang Pinchuan, and she thinks that Wang Pinchuan also means that to her.

After all, for so long, apart from himself, there has never been another girl around him.

It turns out that people just treat her as a sister?

She reached into her pocket, pinching the chocolate she had brought to confession, feeling like a joke.

The chocolate melted a little in the warm palm of her hand, and it went soft, losing its original shape.

It's like her heart.
