Chapter 17: Another Boyfriend Introduces Her to Others
It wasn't until he went down to the seventh floor that Si Qi let out a long sigh of relief like a resurrection on the spot, turned his head to look at Shi Jing, a few smiles appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said briskly: "Although my mother suddenly attacked, it can be regarded as a thrilling situation, and the customs clearance is successful, and she will probably not urge me to go on a blind date every day in the future, and the crisis on my side will be temporarily lifted." ”
Shi Jing smiled reluctantly, but he didn't know what to say, and after a while, he spit out lightly: "That... That's good..."
Si Qi blinked, and his tone was as comfortable and casual as usual: "Of course it's good, the original intention of our cooperation is not to let my parents and family worry too much, and now this small goal is also successfully completed, today will delay you for half a day, you can go back first in a while, and if there is anything that needs my cooperation in the future, send me a text message directly." After a pause, she added: "Thank you today, I hope we can cooperate happily in the future." ”
Shi Jing was stunned when he heard this, and the slightest feeling that had just surfaced from the depths of his heart suddenly disappeared, the feeling was like he had just climbed to the edge of a cliff and found that someone handed him a lamp, but he showed it to him, and then took it away in a blink of an eye, making him feel a little melancholy.
...... Then, once again, he spat on himself.
It's a cooperation, and originally they were just a partnership.
He silently turned away from his gaze at Si Qi, lowered his head slightly, and began to unconsciously twist his pants with his hands, although there were voice-activated lights in the stairwell, the light was dim, so that people couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
Seeing this, Si Qi scratched his head, thought carefully for a while, and didn't find anything wrong with what he said just now, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't get the point, so he had to turn around and continue walking.
Probably people with social phobia, it's weird.
But fortunately, he was this strange person, otherwise she probably wouldn't have been able to get along with him as easily as she does now.
When he arrived downstairs, Si Qi saw that it was already dark outside, and thought that he had dragged Shi Jing here all afternoon, so that he didn't know how many times he had rolled in the two heavens of ice and fire, so he felt a little apologetic, although he had wasted most of his day's effort, but now he couldn't use up others and let people go, and after a while, she asked tentatively: "Just finished eating, do you want to go around the community to eliminate food?"
Shi Jing's eyes flashed, as if a glimmer of light flashed quickly, but unfortunately the speed was too fast, he subconsciously lowered his eyelids again, and only heard him whisper: "Okay." ”
Si Qi exhaled slightly, and took Shi Jing to the forest with few people and many trees, although it is an old community, but it is adjacent to the Forest Tree Park, and you can enter the park through two small gates, and the two people walked aimlessly along the path, separated from each other by a short distance, but no one spoke, until ten minutes later, the dim forest suddenly brightened, as if Shi Jing's feet were stagnant after a great change.
"It's seven o'clock, and the lights are on. Si Qi glanced at him and said, "This is an old forest, and the lights will be turned on after seven o'clock every day, otherwise you won't be able to see the way at all." ”
Shi Jing nodded at first, but soon realized that the other party couldn't see him nodding at all, so he hurriedly added another word: "Oh." ”
Si Qi didn't know what was wrong, he wanted to laugh inexplicably, but he paused halfway through the laughter, although Shi Jing seemed calm, but this calm was probably made by fighting hard, I heard Mo Wenqing say that he has been living alone for more than ten years, avoiding crowds like snakes and scorpions, and he doesn't even go to his own company much, but also to make his parents feel at ease, so he tried to cooperate with her.
Thinking of this, she suddenly regretted persuading people to come out to eat, and if she didn't know it, she wanted to go home quickly and find a place where no one was around, but she was too considerate.
"Do you have any other arrangements for the National Day?" Si Qi, who has always been opposed to silence, hates being relatively silent with people the most, especially this kind of person who is actually not very familiar, silence will make her anxious, and she will feel uncomfortable, so she can only have nothing to say, but she can't talk to Shi Jing about other topics, so she can only pick a word that is not too disgusting to each other, I just hope that Shi Jing will not be silent, and we can chat together.
Probably Shi Jing really heard her heart, although she was silent for a while, she finally picked up the conversation and whispered, "No... Not a promise... Your mother... Mom goes to your hometown..."
Si Qi was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at him in surprise: "You really want to go?"
Originally, she planned to promise her mother for the time being, so that she could cope with today, and then just find a reason to fool around when the National Day came, but there was such a question just now, purely because she couldn't think of other topics at all, so she just asked casually.
"You... You don't want to... I'll go...?" After a moment of silence, Shi Jing glanced at her quickly, and lowered his head again in an instant.
"Well, of course not. Si Qi almost subconsciously retorted, just when the two of them walked under a big tree with bright lights and shadows, she turned her head sideways, Shi Jing lowered her eyebrows, her face was pale, her thin but good-looking side face seemed to be indescribably gloomy, and her mind seemed to be blocked by a bunch of hemp, and after a while, she shook her head and replied very unwillingly: "Why don't you want to?" I'm not afraid that you are too busy, and we have a lot of relatives in our hometown, as soon as you go, everyone will come to see it as a surprise." ”
Unusual?
Shi Jing's footsteps froze again, his hand twisting his pants faster, and his face became more and more pale, perhaps because of the lighting, the whiteness almost spread to his lips.
"Over the years, all my relatives have been trying to marry me off, and I have been introduced to boyfriends for several years, but it didn't work out for various reasons. Si Qi rolled his eyes and continued to add fuel and vinegar: "That's why my mother can't wait for me to take you back, at least to block the mouths of those people, so imagine that as long as you go back, you will definitely become a hot figure in our family, and countless people will take turns to visit." ”
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the days when she just took Xiaojun back to her hometown a few years ago, and her eyebrows couldn't help twitching, probably as soon as her mother released the news that she had a boyfriend, everyone would be full of curiosity, curious about what kind of man would like to be this "pick-up man"!
Shi Jing didn't speak again, the four words of the hot spot were enough for him to dispel all the thoughts that were about to move.
Si Qi pursed his lips, didn't speak again, took Shi Jing around the corner and walked back, eager to walk out of the park immediately, quickly send Shi Jing to the car, and regretted that he had pulled Shi Jing out without authorization.
As soon as the two walked to the corner of the path, a person came to them, leading a huge border herd, as soon as the dog saw Si Qi, he suddenly broke free of the master's hand, rushed over like a joy, circled around Si Qi, stretched out his paws from time to time to shake hands with Si Qi, his tail wagged and flew, his warm round eyes were shining, and he kept touching Si Qi's palm clumsily with his nose and tongue, and it seemed that he wanted to pick up Si Qi's body.
Seeing that Shi Jing didn't dodge, Si Qi even looked at the dog with interest, and his face was quite normal, so he asked, "Do you like dogs?"
Shi Jing nodded lightly and said, "I used to raise a therapy dog, a golden retriever, and I have been with me for many years. ”
Therapy dogs?
She didn't see a dog in Shi Jing's villa last time, and she didn't find any traces of the dog's life, obviously the treatment dog was no longer by Shi Jing's side, Si Qi was silent, and didn't know how to answer for a while, I always felt that today was a little unsmooth, and there were many mistakes, probably because the year was unfavorable, and the reason why I didn't read the yellow calendar yesterday.
"Teacher Si, are you also coming for a walk?" In the silence, the owner of the dog happened to come over, and it was an acquaintance, Dr. Wang from the clinic opposite Hongwen Kindergarten, and Xie Min, the head teacher of the third class of secondary school, was actually not his dog, but the pet dog raised by Aunt Chen next door to the clinic, a particularly smart border herder, who often ran to the kindergarten gate to help watch the door, so he was very familiar with Si Qi, and often ran to ask for a touch.
Aunt Chen opened a small tailor shop, and usually lives by sewing and mending for people in the community, and she is old, so Dr. Wang often walks the dog for her.
"Borrowing someone's dog again?" Si Qi greeted with a smile as he continued to play a game of claw shaking with Bian Mu.
"Aunt Chen is happy, someone helps her walk the dog. Dr. Wang's name is Wang Mancheng, graduated from Jincheng Medical University, he worked in the city hospital for a few years, and then somehow transferred to the community outpatient clinic to work, but although he is young, but the medical skills are quite famous, and every year he also gives free physical examination to the elderly over 60 years old in the community, and is a famous "great benevolent" in the community, and he can receive more than a dozen breakfasts when he comes out in the morning.
Wang Mancheng walked in front of the two of them, pulled back the border pastor who was self-sacrificing, his eyes turned around Shi Jing's face, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he looked at Si Qi with a smile: "Who is this?"
Si Qi hurriedly introduced: "This is my friend Shi Jing, this is Dr. Wang Mancheng from our community outpatient clinic, and the physical examinations in our kindergarten are done regularly by Dr. Wang. ”
Wang Mancheng stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello." ”
Shi Jing couldn't help but take a step back, but he soon noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward again, the hand holding his pants clenched into a fist, and his eyes didn't dare to look up at the person head-on, just staring at the hand stretched out in front of him.
Wang Mancheng was a little embarrassed and a little puzzled, but he just shook hands out of politeness, and the other party's reaction was like he was stretching out a bomb.
Si Qi hurriedly stepped forward, shook Shi Jing's hand holding him, and explained with a smile: "My friend has a cleanliness habit and is not used to shaking hands with people, I will do it for him, don't mind." ”
Wang Mancheng was even more embarrassed, hurriedly withdrew his hand, scratched the back of his head, and was very embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I was rude." ”
Shi Jing coughed lightly twice and whispered, "No... No... It's me, me..."
It's hard to say a word, and the voice is getting lower and lower, and at the end it's almost inaudible, which is not a normal adult reaction.
