Shi Tao had just made an appointment with Yang Qiong to go to the mall to buy a skirt on Sunday when he received a notice from the trade union.

In order to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the city, the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions organized citizens to run around the city, asked enterprises and institutions to actively organize personnel to participate, and gave 50 places to inorganic companies, hoping that the majority of young people would actively sign up.

Director Zhang strongly recommended Shi Tao to sign up on behalf of the office, and Shi Tao readily agreed.

The Round the City Run was scheduled to take place on Sunday morning, and Shi Tao quickly called Yang Qiong to inform her that her plans to go to the mall had changed.

Coincidentally, Yang Qiong also signed up to go for a long-distance run, so that they were ready to go to the mall in the afternoon.

At 8 a.m. on Sunday, 50 young men and women gathered in front of the headquarters office building, and the company arranged a bus to take the contestants to the competition.

When Shi Tao arrived at the company in blue sportswear, Yang Qiong had already arrived.

Shi Tao found that most of the students who joined the company had come, except for a few female colleagues who were ill and did not sign up.

In the bustling crowd, Yang Qiong, who was wearing a pink sportswear, was particularly eye-catching. Shi Tao stepped forward to say hello, and the two stood together with the players waiting for the union instructions.

Sister Zhang, the organizer of the trade union, came to the scene, took a roll call, and briefly talked about the precautions, focusing on safety, taking care of each other, going and going back together, no one is missing, friendship first, competition second, and participation.

Sister Zhang gave each person a white short-sleeved vest with the words "Commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Founding of Haishi" printed on the back.

When everyone put on the big vests, all kinds of tops were covered, at least the clothes were uniform. Everyone pinned the number plate behind them, and at first glance, it really looked like they were going to a competition.

Everyone got into the car in an uproar, Shi Tao and Yang Qiong sat side by side, and went straight to the city hall with the car.

The square was crowded, and players from all units arrived one after another, lining up to enter.

At nine o'clock, the referee read out the rules of the game and the route of the game, starting from the square, the men's race is 10 kilometers, the women's race is 5 kilometers, and the main street of the city runs back to the square.

The contestants took their places, and as the referee's starting gun sounded, the male and female contestants set off at the same time, and everyone rushed forward in a swarm.

At first, the crowd was crowded, but slowly the distance widened. The fast runners were the usual people who insisted on exercising, and they formed the first army and rushed forward quickly.

Because they were relatively far ahead when they started, Shi Tao and Ding Dezhi were able to run with them at first, but due to the lack of exercise they usually exercised, their physique was not so good, and they gradually fell behind.

Seeing others quickly passing past them, they could only sigh with admiration, and they were powerless! Seeing the runners in front of them leave them, running farther and farther.

Due to the event, traffic control has been implemented on the relevant road sections, cars are banned, pedestrians are diverted, police stand guard, volunteers guide the way, and ambulances follow.

The weather was nice and the sun was shining.

The athletes were sweating profusely, Shi Tao and Ding Dezhi and others wiped their sweat while running, and the white towel that was prepared to hang around their necks in advance was quickly soaked, and when they twisted it, sweat flowed out of it.

The people in front of them gradually drifted away, Shi Tao and Ding Dezhi couldn't keep up, at first they were still trotting, and then they couldn't run anymore and started walking. Although he was walking, he didn't stop after all, walking and running.

When Shi Tao and Ding Dezhi ran halfway through, they saw a familiar figure in front of them, pink sweatpants, and Shi Tao accurately judged that it was Yang Qiong.

Yang Qiong was also tired of running, and she and Qiao Xiaofei slowly broke their steps.

Shi Tao and Ding Dezhi ran a few steps to catch up with them, and after saying hello, Ding Dezhi and Qiao Xiaofei stayed away from the two of them in a funny way.

Shi Tao and Yang Qiong walked side by side, looking at each other, they were both sweating and panting, not only smiling.

Just now I felt tired to death, but Shi Tao felt refreshed at this time, that was because Yang Qiong was by his side, and he felt that running was not a tiring job, but a pleasant and refreshing thing.

Yang Qiong was indeed very tired, and her running speed became slower and slower, and then the two of them walked.

In the eyes of others, they are not participating in the race around the city, but more like walking, shopping, visiting the garden, wiping the hot sweat on their foreheads while walking, and even talking about their hearts.

By the time the two walked back to the square with love words, the event was over.

The cars of other units have already pulled the athletes away, only the bus of the inorganic company is still waiting alone, and the others have already gotten on the bus, just waiting for the two of them.

When the two of them boarded the car tiredly, the whole car laughed, "You are here to catch the market, not to participate in the race, this is the stadium, not the park." Let's talk about love and talk about it later, don't let this carload of people be light bulbs for you. ”

Although the two of them were shy, they both felt very happy, and they didn't take the jokes of the whole car seriously at all. Especially Shi Tao, while fighting with everyone, he looked for a seat and sat down side by side with Yang Qiong.

It was almost noon when the game returned. After a group of people waited for the office building to wash up, Sister Zhang called everyone to the canteen again, and the company specially arranged lunch for the contestants.

Everyone was given pork ribs and vegetables, steamed buns and rice as much as they liked. Shi Tao and Yang Qiong were really hungry and ate very well, eating more than usual.

After the meal, Shi Tao knew that Yang Qiong had nowhere to go at noon, so he just used this as an excuse to take Yang Qiong back to his dormitory.

Shi Tao asked Yang Qiong to rest on his bed, and he spread a sheet on Ding Dezhi's empty bed and lay down improvisely.

At about two o'clock, the two woke up, washed their faces and went out on the street.

Because she can't usually ride a bike, Yang Qiong has already ridden her bicycle home.

Shi Tao just took this opportunity to take the woman he liked, in the way he had always hoped, to enjoy the happy feeling of Yang Qiong hugging his waist in the back seat.

Although the temperature is not too hot, you can still feel the scorching sun when walking on the street. Shi Tao bought two sorbets at a stall to share with Yang Qiong to relieve the heat.

Walking into the mall, the dazzling array of goods attracts crowded customers, as if the things here don't cost money.

There is an endless stream of customers, and you can always see people carrying large and small bags, laughing and laughing as they walk, and their faces still gleam with excitement to buy one or two of their favorite items.

The two went directly to the third floor to find a stall selling clothes.

There were all colorful clothes in front of him, Shi Tao was dazzled, he didn't know how to do clothes, what style these clothes were, what the market, what the grade was, almost nothing about it.

But this did not prevent him from buying a skirt for Yang Qiong.

When he came to the stall selling skirts, Shi Tao saw the same white skirt as Yang Qiong at a glance.

Yang Qiong saw it at the same time, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and stopped in front of the skirt.

"Look, is it exactly the same?" Shi Tao asked Yang Qiong, pointing to her skirt.

"It's really the same paragraph. Yang Qiong replied affirmatively, and at the same time reached out and pulled up the skirt hanging on the hanger and looked at it.

"We want this one?" Shi Tao was asking Yang Qiong's opinion.

"Forget it, it's expensive, it's really expensive!" Yang Qiong smiled at Shi Tao, she seemed to want Shi Tao to buy it, but she didn't want Shi Tao to break the bank.

"Of course, if I say I'll buy it for you, I'll buy it for you, or we'll do something. ”

Shi Tao really thought so in his heart, he really wanted to buy a dress for Yang Qiong, he didn't know what to buy for her before, so he just bought a dress.

"I already have one like this, although it is said to have a little flaw, but it does not prevent it from being worn, and it cannot be seen until you look closely. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy another piece of the same kind? Yang Qiong explained why she didn't want to buy again.

"The dress is a must-buy because it's something I should compensate you for. Shi Tao resolutely said that he wanted to buy it.

"You've already made amends. Yang Qiong smiled and mentioned the past of college.

"Alas, boss," Shi Tao beckoned to the waiter, "how much does this dress cost?"

"This paragraph 150. A woman of about forty years of age, dressed in neat overalls, approached quickly.

"You give me a real price. Shi Tao began to lower prices.

"I really want it, the preferential price is 120. "The waiter kept the price to a minimum.

"Can you sell it for 100 yuan?" Shi Tao continued to lower the price and glanced at Yang Qiong.

Yang Qiong only smiled silently.

"You're kidding, we don't usually sell this style for 150 less, and now there are a few left, and we only get down to 120. If you say that if it is 100 yuan, I will definitely sell it after the season, otherwise we will not sell it, because this skirt is very popular. The waiter insisted that the price could not be reduced again.

Yang Qiong still pursed her lips and smiled, but did not say anything.

Shi Tao turned his head to look at her, looked at her for a while, and nodded, "You have a lot of heart, up!" and then the two laughed together.

"That's not to blow you up, it's to tease you!" Yang Qiong laughed even more happily.

The waiter looked at the two of them and asked the price, and didn't say to buy or say no, and said some dumb riddles that she couldn't guess here, and was a little stunned, "Do you want to buy it or not?"

"Don't buy it. ”

"Buy. ”

The two spoke out almost simultaneously at different points.

"Buy, definitely buy. Shi Tao affirmed again, so he asked the waiter to pack it, and then went to the cashier to pay.

Guo Shuai once said that maybe someone will buy a skirt for Yang Qiong next year. Yang Qiong didn't expect that someone would really buy it, and the person who bought it was Shi Tao.

Yang Qiong walked back with the skirt in her bag and said to Shi Tao: "I will use this skirt as a treasure and collect it, I won't wear it, I will keep it as a souvenir, I will take it out and take a look when I think of it." ”

"What's the use of buying clothes and not wearing them, what is there to treasure them? Eliminate the one you used to have, and give it away. Shi Tao didn't understand what Yang Qiong meant.

"The clothes you bought for me, what I do with them is my business, you don't have to worry about it, or I will give it to you and I don't want it. Yang Qiong stood still and handed the clothes to Shi Tao.

How dare Shi Tao take it!

"It's yours to buy for you, I don't care, you can do it, what do you like. Shi Tao couldn't persuade anymore and moved forward.

"It's memorable for a man to buy a dress for a woman, you don't understand. Yang Qiong said that Shi Tao was puzzled.

"Isn't this just buying a dress? Heck, I've bought underwear before. Shi Tao felt that Yang Qiong was a bit pretentious.

"What?" Yang Qiong seemed to have discovered a new world, her beautiful eyes widened, and she was very surprised, "Who did you buy underwear for, what do you say?"

Shi Tao felt that he had slipped his mouth, so he quickly explained, "No...... No, it's wrong, what to buy...... Never bought anything. Shi Tao didn't know what he was talking about.

"You stop me and say, I can't tell you about buying underwear, I don't want this skirt, you like to give it to whomever you like. Yang Qiong's face tightened, it seemed that she really wanted to find out what was going on with her underwear.

"You really want to know?"

"Gotta know. ”

Under Yang Qiong's unrelenting insistence, Shi Tao had to explain the origin of buying underwear.

"Well, at that time, our squad leader had to ask me to accompany her out, and I was fine at the time, so I followed in a daze. ”

"Female squad leader?"

"Ah, yes. She didn't say she wanted to buy anything. Halfway through she bought an sorbet and we ate it. ”

"The two of them ate a sorbet and said underwear!"

"It's one for each person. Later, she asked me to borrow money, 50 is fine, and said that the money was not enough to buy a dress. In this way, we went to the mall, who would have thought that what she bought was not ordinary clothes, nor underwear, but swimsuits. ”

Oh, that's a lot of information. ”

"Oh, listen to me. At that time, she also asked me if I would buy one too, and I said no. ”

"Silly hat!"

"She asked me to help her pick one, what style looks good, I don't understand, and then she picked it herself. Of course, I'm not embarrassed to look at what I choose. ”

"What a stupid hat. ”

"Maybe she borrowed money from me to buy it, and then it became me buying underwear for others. They later returned the money to me, and it actually had nothing to do with me. ”

"Because you're a fool, they'll give you back. The story is quite twisty, hehe, it's really romantic! It seems that you have experienced it quite a bit before. Yang Qiong seemed to be making fun of Shi Tao.

"Everywhere, there's no shadow, it's just fun, the two of us are classmates, and it doesn't matter anything. Stone hastened to explain.

"If you want to cover up, the explanation is to cover up. Yang Qiong said narrowly.

"Believe it or not, if there is really the kind of good thing that people think, will I still have a chance to find you?" Shi Tao was helpless, and Yang Qiong couldn't help it if he didn't believe it.

"Well, I'll believe you. It's weird that a stupid hat like you has a play. Yang Qiong no longer pursued the matter of underwear.

"Then what else should we buy?" Shi Tao asked Yang Qiong.

"I didn't buy anything, I went home. ”

Shi Tao and Yang Qiong's relationship is getting better and better, talking about the present, the future is full of variables.
