13. Tacitly
"Hello, your dessert. β
The waiter carries a tray and carefully places a dish of snow ice called "black ice" on the table.
Jiang Xiaoyu and Lin Weiyue picked up the two silver spoons prepared on the side of the plate, gently dug a spoonful on the snow ice covered with black sesame seeds, dipped them in the sweet and soft red bean paste and a small glutinous rice ball, put them in their mouths and chewed carefully, the instantly melted snow ice was full of the sweetness of black sesame seeds, and the pure and pure spleen and stomach without a trace of impurities and water penetrated the spleen and stomach, cold but not icy.
"Delicious, right?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a smile, her face full of anticipation, waiting for Lin Weiyue to praise her.
Lin Weiyue didn't speak, she was still tasting, and after a while, she nodded: "Well, it's really good." β
It was now 12:43 p.m., and the two of them had been shopping for two and a half hours, but they were not tired at all.
Jiang Xiaoyu bought several winter clothes and prepared to wear them during the winter. Lin Weiyue bought some small and bits of jewelry, such as earrings, bracelets, etc., which were worth no more than a hundred, and the cheapest winter clothes Jiang Xiaoyu bought were also thousands.
When shopping, Jiang Xiaoyu asked Lin Weiyue why she didn't buy clothes, but Lin Weiyue just smiled and didn't explain.
In this way, the two of you ate a bowl of snow ice one spoonful and one spoonful of me.
After eating, they sat in the store for a while, until Jiang Xiaoyu proposed to get up and take a walk to digest it, and the two of them left the dessert shop and strolled around in the Jiuguang Department Store.
Today is the weekend, and the mall is full of laughter, mostly in the form of couples, family of three, girlfriends, close friends or classmates and friends, and it is rare to see a person out shopping.
Lin Weiyue and Jiang Xiaoyu were walking hand in hand.
Although he was carrying a large bag in his hand, as soon as Jiang Xiaoyu came out of the dessert shop, his eyes were attracted by the beautiful clothes in the window.
"Xiaoyue, I'll go in and have a look, do you want to come along?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked.
Lin Weiyue was looking at the happy family of three in front of the children's slide in a daze, and when she heard Jiang Xiaoyu's inquiry, she didn't answer for a while.
At this time, there was a ding, Lin Weiyue's mobile phone rang, listening to the ringtone, it should be a message reminder from the chat software.
Lin Weiyue didn't seem to hear it, but as the dinging ended, there was a series of dense light chirps.
"Who?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Lin Weiyue came back to her senses, first said "I don't know", and then took out her mobile phone to check.
Jiang Xiaoyu poked her head, Lin Weiyue frowned, she felt that her relationship with Jiang Xiaoyu was good, but the other party couldn't snoop on her privacy at will.
"Elite first-year high school students help each other. Jiang Xiaoyu read out the words on the screen.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Lin Weiyue with a strange face: "Xiaoyue, what kind of group is this?
Lin Weiyue didn't answer, but unlocked the screensaver, clicked in to take a look, and then, a trace of joy flashed on her face, fleeting.
"Xiaoyue?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.
Lin Weiyue sighed, looked up at Jiang Xiaoyu, subconsciously pulled the hair on her sideburns, and then explained with a smile: "The group built by some people in the grade who are not doing their jobs, the name is given by them, hey, it is mainly used to send answers, claiming to be elites, but in fact, they are all scumbags." She tried to make her tone sound calm.
"Scum?" Jiang Xiaoyu muttered, "But Xiaoyue, you ranked in the top 20 in your grade in the last monthly exam, and you are still a scumbag?"
Lin Weiyue's face froze, her mind was racing, and she immediately replied: "I sent them the answer, there must be someone who sends the answer, otherwise they are a bunch of scumbags, what's the use of passing the wrong answer around." You don't know, they begged me for a long time before I would join this group. β
"That's right. β
Jiang Xiaoyu did not doubt him.
Soon, she turned her attention away from this matter, took Lin Weiyue's hand and walked to a nearby clothing store, "Xiaoyue, I just saw a dress, it suits you, you can try it." β
"I don't. Lin Weiyue squirmed.
"Try it, try it and it doesn't cost money. Jiang Xiaoyu tugged at her arm, "Besides, it's not even a little now, and we still have two hours to kill." β
Under Jiang Xiaoyu's insistence, Lin Weiyue could only obediently comply.
After a while, she walked into the fitting room with a dress, and Jiang Xiaoyu's voice came from outside the door: "Xiaoyue, if the size is not suitable, just say it, I'll let them change." β
Lin Weiyue replied: "Got it." β
But she didn't change her clothes immediately, but first took out her mobile phone and clicked on the "Elite Student Mutual Support Group for First-Year High School", there were more than 20 unread messages, and she flipped to the top.
The first ding just now was a message from a person with a nickname called "I love learning and perseverance": "Welcome newcomers~"
The so-called newcomer is her, Lin Weiyue.
This group is not what she said, it is a group for scumbags to share homework answers and help each other, but it is a secret organization that circulates in the first year of high school, but not limited to the first year of high school, and the founder is unknown, the requirements for joining the group are quite strict, Lin Weiyue After the first monthly exam, she launched a request to join the group with the top 20 grades in her grade, but it was rejected.
Now, she awakened the spirit text [Red Carp] and made a request to join the group again, but she was accepted.
Lin Weiyue quickly browsed the more than 20 messages, and her face slowly became excited.
"Xiaoyue, haven't you changed it yet?" At this time, Jiang Xiaoyu shouted outside the door.
Lin Weiyue's expression changed, and suddenly, she turned off her mobile phone and opened the door of the fitting room with the dress that she hadn't tried on.
"Hey, why didn't you change it, didn't you like it?" Jiang Xiaoyu blinked and asked stunned.
Lin Weiyue said in an anxious tone, "Xiaoyue, something happened at home suddenly, I have to go back." β
"Ah, what's the matter?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with concern.
"Well, my mom was injured at work and is now in the hospital, but the money is not enough, and the boss is unwilling to pay on her behalf, so I have to go home and get the money. The details she said were detailed, not like she was making things up, so Jiang Xiaoyu believed it as soon as she heard it.
"Does it matter?" Jiang Xiaoyu's face also became worried, "I have money on me, how much do I want, I'll take care of it for you first, lest you go back and run again, go directly to the hospital." β
"Don't bother you, Xiaoyu. β
Lin Weiyue waved her hand and said, "My home is not far from the hospital, and by the way, my mother is not seriously injured, you can rest assured." β
As she spoke, she handed the dress to the salesman who was standing aside, and was about to leave.
Jiang Xiaoyu asked behind her, "Then don't you want to watch the martial arts competition later?"
Lin Weiyue hurriedly ran towards the door of the store and replied, "Don't look at it." Her voice gradually faded away, and after a while, the figure disappeared from Jiang Xiaoyu's sight.
Take the direct elevator to the first floor, trot out of the No. 1 gate of Jiuguang Department Store, facing a bus stop, wait for less than a while, Lin Weiyue wants to take the bus came, there are not many people on the bus, there are also vacant seats on the bus, she took the transportation card and swiped the car money, found a seat near the back door and sat down, panting.
"Where is the little girl, why are you in a hurry?"
An old woman in the other seat asked, pouting.
Lin Weiyue wiped the fine sweat on her forehead. "Jiang'an New Village. She said.
"Oh, that's six stops, half an hour. The old woman replied.
"Hmm. Lin Weiyue smiled and nodded.
"What are you doing?" asked the old woman again.
"Play with your classmates. Lin Weiyue said that this time she didn't feel that people were snooping on her privacy.
First, because the old man likes to ask questions, she is not angry if you don't answer, she nods when you answer, but she doesn't remember it in your heart.
The second is because Lin Weiyue is in a good mood at this time, not only willing to tell her grandmother, but even wants to share her joy with the world.
"Oh, let's play with my classmates. The old woman nodded.
In this way, along the way, Lin Weiyue and the grandmother chatted with each other, and in less than half an hour, only twenty minutes, she arrived at Jiang'an New Village.
"Goodbye, grandma. Before getting out of the car, she said goodbye to her grandmother and jumped on the road.
The old woman waved to her through the car window, looking at her with the same kindness as if she were looking at her own granddaughter.
It's a pity that her granddaughter was taken away by a sudden monster on a trip with her parents when she was seven years old.
This bus, both the staff and the passengers, have become accustomed to the presence of this old man. She takes this bus every day, and she sits for a day, you say she is Alzheimer's, she is not, the dialogue logic is quite complete.
Some people who know said that this bus was the one she used to take to pick up her granddaughter to school, and she was trying to retrieve memories related to her granddaughter.

Β·
Lin Weiyue didn't know that an old man she met on the way had such a poignant past.
At this time, she was following the address and walking navigation provided by the group, and walked to the door of a villa area, and just wanted to sneak in while the guests inside were swiping the door control, a sharp-eyed security guard stopped her.
"Stop. β
The security guard said, looking Lin Weiyue up and down, "Little girl, you shouldn't be a resident of this community, right?"
Lin Weiyue knew that it was useless to lie to the other party, and the other party would be clear when he checked the guest list, so he nodded generously: "Well, I'll come to play with my classmates." β
"Classmates?"
The security guard asked, "You tell me which building to live in, and I'll call and ask." β
He asked this is a routine, if Lin Weiyue's reason is false, he will definitely find an excuse to leave immediately, but Lin Weiyue was indeed invited to come here, so she immediately opened her mobile phone and said to the address in the group: "Unit 306 of the third unit." β
The security guard was stunned for a moment, did not speak, but walked into the guard room, picked up the landline phone, pressed it a few times, and waited for a while before connecting.
During this period, he even suspected that Lin Weiyue knew the house number of a villa that was uninhabited for a short period of time in advance, and then told him.
"Hey, who is it?"
It was a polite voice on the other end of the line.
"Hello, I'm the porter of the community, and there's a guy hereβ" The security guard said as he looked at Lin Weiyue.
Lin Weiyue said knowingly: "Lin Weiyue, Shuangmu Forest, Azure Wei, the month is next to the word king." β
"Ah, Miss Lin Weiyue. The security guard continued, without elaborating on how these three words were written, mainly because he couldn't remember them for a while, "She said that she came to play with her classmates, and the address reported was the address of your home, do you know her?"
"Lin Weiyue, yes, I invited her, you let her in. Said on the other end of the phone.
"Okay. "Security should be lowered.
Then he walked up to Lin Weiyue and said apologetically, "I'm sorry Miss Lin, I delayed your time." As he spoke, he swiped the curfew with his card, "Please come in." β
Lin Weiyue stepped in.
The security guard continued: "You just follow this road all the way to the third row, turn the corner, go all the way and you're there." β
Lin Weiyue nodded, trying her best to act as if she had seen the world, and her face was light.
But as she went deeper and deeper, the more she couldn't control the surprise in her heart, it turned out that the life of a rich man is like this.
She thought to herself as she watched, sooner or later she would have to live in such a house, by the way, today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once she and those people hook up, a better life in the future will definitely not be escaped.
"Ding-dong-"
The doorbell rings.
Lin Weiyue waited for a while, feeling very nervous, and didn't know how to introduce herself and deal with it after she went in later.
The door was opened, and it was opened by a tall, sunny-looking boy.
"It's Lin Weiyue. He laughs.
Lin Weiyue nodded cautiously, acting like a little daughter-in-law who had just entered the door.
"Don't be inhibited. The boy said, taking a pair of female cotton slippers from the hallway, bending down and placing them in front of the threshold.
Seeing this, Lin Weiyue whispered: "Don't bother, I'll just come by myself." β
"It's fine. The boy waved his hand.
Where Lin Weiyue didn't see it, he quickly glanced at her slender and fair legs, and smiled in his heart.
Following the boy step by step, Lin Weiyue walked into the villa with a cotton slipper, and the vast living room was covered with soft carpets, even if there was no carpet cover, there was floor heating.
At this time, there were already twelve or thirteen people in the villa, and the girls didn't see much, but occasionally there were one or two, all with delicate faces.
Some people are nestled on the couch playing video games, others are gathered around and chatting, in short, everyone is quite comfortable. This surprised Lin Weiyue, who originally thought that the atmosphere here would be extremely serious.
So, are all these people able to beat her top 20 in the world?
Instead, she saw a few familiar faces, some of them top students who had been in the same exam room with her, and some of them, she stared at one of the fat men who was munching on fried chicken wings.
Wang Ji, why is he here?
Lin Weiyue was a little dazed.
At this time, a girl walked down the stairs, her cheeks were red, her hair was wet, as if she had just taken a bath, she was a little unsteady when she walked, and she even had to hold on to the wall to stabilize her balance.
Seeing her, the boys in the hall exchanged glances and laughed tacitly.
