Chapter 13: Girl, Friend?
"Can't you stop your mouth from brewing Lantern Festival?" Xiao Tu glanced at coldly.
Huo Yiming listened more energetically, put down the spoon in his hand, and teased: "Lao Xiao, you want to gag my mouth, do you want me to say it or not?"
Xiao Tu's eyes gradually narrowed into a slit: "Say!"
"It depends on what kind of friend you are?" ordinary friends can send a blessing text message, if it's a girlfriend......" Huo Yiming dragged out his last note, and his eyes deliberately wandered around Xiao Tu to try to find any flaws, "You have to put some thought into it, so old Xiao, what kind of friend are you?"
Xiao Tu was born in a performance class, he didn't say a word, Huo Yiming couldn't find the slightest flaw, he was stunned that he was defeated in this round, so he had to shrug his shoulders: "Then you can understand yourself." β
Huo Yiming was just about to bow his head and continue to eat the Lantern Festival, when he saw the lunch box slid in front of him, and was taken away by Xiao Tu with lightning speed, Huo Yiming was not happy at this time, so he stood up and grabbed it: "Eh, Lao Xiao, you are not kind, I am half of the food and I am in high spirits!"
"You haven't finished answering my question yet. Xiao Tu was originally half a head taller than Huo Yiming, and there was a long table between the two, Xiao Tu held it up with one hand, and Huo Yiming couldn't touch it.
"Didn't I answer everything, you are unreasonable! Take it easy, big brother, what a waste of spilling!" Huo Yiming stared at the lunch box with a pair of eyes.
"It's too perfunctory. Xiao Tu said.
"Big brother, I asked you what the relationship was, but you didn't say it, but blamed me for being perfunctory, I can see it, today is the Hongmen Banquet! Don't eat, don't eat!" Huo Yiming hugged his arms and deliberately calmed his face.
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, Xiao Tu exhaled, pushed the lunch box to Huo Yiming and slowly opened his mouth: "Neither an ordinary friend nor a girlfriend, today is Shi Nan's birthday." β
"Wow, it turned out to be her!" Huo Yiming pulled the lunch box in his direction and sat down again, "Then prepare a birthday gift, after all, you two are masters and apprentices." β
Xiao Tu nodded in approval: "I don't know what to give her, you Huo Dashao is experienced, do you have any proposals?"
"Whatever you want, girls shouldn't hate dolls, jewelry, bags, etc. Huo Yiming lowered his head again and began to enjoy his lost food.
"What if she doesn't like it?" Xiao Tu said.
Huo Yiming seemed to have been immobilized again, this time he raised his head and looked at Xiao Tu carefully, up and down, back and forth several times, until Xiao Tu felt that his back was hairy, and he frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"No, I'm thinking about ......"
"Thinking about what?"
"I'm thinking, now that the sun is coming out in the west, Xiao Tu, an indifferent man, will even consider women's feelings!"
Xiao Tu handed over a fierce eye knife.
Huo Yiming didn't seem to care at all, leaned forward and stared at Xiao Tu, and said mysteriously: "Old Xiao, to be honest, are you looking at the little girl?"
Xiao Tu slapped a chestnut on Huo Yiming's head: "What do you think, nonsense!"
Huo Yiming hooked the corners of his mouth: "The faster you deny, the more ghosts you have in your heart!" Seeing Xiao Tu's posture of wanting to kill, he immediately accepted it when he saw it, and quickly changed the topic, "Actually, it's a very simple matter to pick a gift for Nan Nan." β
Xiao Tu was already powerless to complain about Huo Yiming's sudden change of title, so he simply ignored it, he was more concerned about another thing: "Tell me, what to send?"
ββββββββββββββββ
"Nan Nan, you, you have lost weight again......" Yang Yushi sighed in surprise.
The last time Shi Nan and Yang Yushi met was half a month ago, Yang Yushi went to Beijing on a business trip for more than ten days, and after coming back, the two of them were busy with their own work, and they didn't meet again until today's birthday Shi Nan.
Never miss each other's birthdaysββ this is a promise they have made since childhood.
Yang Yushi reached out and touched Shi Nan's arm and pinched her waist to make Shi Nan itch and scream, Yang Yushi seemed to be relieved, "It's not that the rod is thin, now I'm relieved!"
"How is that possible!" Shi Nan smiled, "I have been running and doing Tai Chi every morning for the past few months, you can look at my muscles!" Shi Nan rolled up his sleeves and showed his insignificant biceps, and the two girls looked at each other and laughed.
"Shishi, I want to go out and buy some new clothes today, will you accompany me?"
"Okay, today you are the birthday star, you have the final say. Yang Yushi responded, turned her head and saw Shi Nan coming out of the bathroom, her shirt was slightly loose on her body, and even her jeans were hanging down her waist, looking crumbling.
Shi Nan pursed her lips, "The previous clothes are a little bigger......"
Yang Yushi touched her chin and thought for a moment, stood up and walked to Shi Nan's side, a pair of dexterous hands skillfully tied a bow to the hem of Shi Nan's shirt, the wide shirt suddenly turned into a corseted style, and she found a belt to tighten her jeans.
"It's done!" Yang Yushi clapped her hands and pointed to the mirror again.
Shi Nan hesitantly walked to the bathroom mirror, looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Shishi, you are too good!
Yang Yushi leaned against the door, but she looked melancholy: "I have a hunch that my Nan Nan will soon be no longer mine......"
Shi Nan smiled "hehe", because he became thinner, the two pear vortices became more obvious: "Shishi, don't laugh at me, who can look up to me? I'm afraid you love me in this world, if you are a boy, I will definitely marry you!"
Yang Yushi also laughed, walked behind Shi Nan and pointed to the girl in the mirror: "Nan Nan, you are too unconfident in yourself, look at your big amber eyes, delicate nose, small dimples wrapped in honey, and the voice kissed by an angel! If I were a boy, I would definitely chase you!"
"It's weird, it's God's trick to give us the wrong gender!" Shi Nan finished speaking, and the two girls laughed again.
"Nan Nan, I met my godmother when I first came, do you know what she said to me?" Shi Nan was combing her hair, and Yang Yushi chatted with her while waiting for her.
"It's not just complaining about me, I don't want to work, I don't help, my body is heavy, and my ears are about to hear calluses. Shi Nan's fierce appearance immediately appeared in his mind, and he immediately shook his head and threw the picture out.
Yang Yushi shook her head: "Godmother asked me if you are greedy for love, and if you are out of love." β
Heather grew her mouth: "Huh?"
"I said that I saw that you have lost weight visibly recently and eaten less, I think my godmother is quite worried, don't you really plan to tell her about you dubbing with Xiao Tuxue?" Yang Yushi looked at Shi Nan seriously through the mirror.
Shi Nan hung her head: "She is bent on letting me inherit the 'Stone Record' and tell her that we have to quarrel again." β
Yang Yushi was also silent......
"I figured I'd wait until I had some results before I told her that the more chips I had, the better the chances she'd have of approving me. Shi Nan smiled reluctantly, the corners of her mouth a little bitter.
Yang Yushi also nodded after a while: "Nan Nan, I believe there will be this day!"
"How long do you two little girls have to grind, come down!" Ms. Shi's voice resounded throughout the second floor, and Shi Nan and Yang Yushi both looked at each other silently.
Yang Yushi patted her head: "Oh yes, my godmother also said, let us eat noodles at home and then go out, I bought a birthday cake and left it downstairs without bringing it up." β
"Why didn't you say it earlier, let's hurry downstairs to eat noodles, and if you urge Ms. Shi again in a while, a flash flood will erupt!" Shi Nan took Yang Yushi's hand and rushed downstairs, and said excitedly, "Ms. Shi's personal Yangchun noodles are called a unique word, I haven't eaten it for a long time, do you remember the taste, just when we were young, we had a birthday......
It was noon, and Shi Nan went downstairs to find that the dining hall was empty today, and there was not even a single customer, only Ms. Shi was sitting alone in front of the bar.
Ms. Shi's whole body is against the light, and the dark silhouette outlines her silhouette in an arc, looking a full circle of thinness, as if the once energetic single mother has disappeared into the stream of years.
Shi Nan looked at such a Ms. Shi, and couldn't help but feel a little hot in her eyes, this strong woman supported a home with her own hands, and pulled her to grow up without worrying about food and clothing.
But the years have never been forgiving, Ms. Shi's health is not as good as before, the first time Shi Nan knew that the original overwork and illness is not just an adjective was when she was about to graduate from high school, so she volunteered to choose the hotel management major that Ms. Shi wanted her to study. This is also the main reason why Shi Nan never wants to clash with Ms. Shi head-on, she knows the suffering that Ms. Shi has suffered silently behind her, so she always tries not to make Ms. Shi angry.
"Boss, let's have a fried rice!" a young man walked into the restaurant in a hurry, interrupting Shi Nan's thoughts.
Ms. Shi raised her head when she heard the voice, first saw Shi Nan and Yang Yushi at the staircase, and then said to the young man who walked in: "Young man, we are not open at noon today, let's come back in the evening!"
Only then did the young man notice the "temporarily closed" sign hanging at the door, and he said sorry a few times and withdrew.
"Mom, why is it closed today?" Before Ms. Shi made a mistake, Shi Nan and Yang Yushi walked over together.
"If you are allowed to be lazy, you will not allow me to rest for half a day? Ms. Shi finished and went into the kitchen.
Shi Nan and Yang Yushi glanced at each other, and the two came to the cake together to unpack the package.
"Ms. Shi's behavior, in our current words, is it called 'tsundere'?" Shi Nan blinked and whispered.
Yang Yushi looked up at the kitchen: "You can be content!" After speaking, the two of them squeezed their eyebrows and laughed.
"Light a candle and make a wish?" Yang Yushi shook the candle in her hand.
Shi Nan shook his head: "Forever eighteen years old, don't make a wish, just cut it!"
"Okay!" Yang Yushi nodded.
Just as the two of them were cutting the cake into pieces, Ms. Shi's voice came from the kitchen again: "Shishi, do you have time to help my godmother take a look, what is that box of things under the bar cabinet? β
Ren Bofan?!
Hearing this name, the two girls were stunned, but Yang Yushi reacted first and responded with a "Eh!"
