Chapter IV
There are 15 stops from my apartment to the downtown cinema, and it takes an hour and a half to take the bus for 2 yuan during off-peak hours, and a taxi can reach it in half an hour, and the cost is 20 times more than 40 dollars. If you accidentally hit the rush hour, the time loss will be like kraft candy, which can be long or short, and it is difficult to estimate.
I looked down at the watch on my wrist, and at 6:45, Xiao Feng, I was able to arrive in an hour, just in time.
Since the other party was a very rude man, I decided to take the bus.
And because I am a woman with a very strong principle, before taking the bus, I still went to the alley wonton restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles according to the original plan.
The owner of the wonton shop has two sons, the eldest is studying in a university in another province, and the second is eight years old this year, with a nickname Lei Lei. Unlike the boss, who studies hard and makes progress every day, Lei Lei is a bear child who frustrates his teachers and makes his parents desperate.
In this world, the prejudice against bear children is like the cervical spine on an adult, which is either painful to the point of deformation, or is faintly deformed. Without exception, they are described as: unlearned, mischievous, and have no future.
So, when the bear child won the second prize in the speech contest in today's school-wide art show, the boss was so happy that he gave me an egg for free. I've been eating noodles at his house for five years, and this is the first time I've received this discount.
The bear child ran over, pointed to my noodle bowl, and said angrily, "This is not an ordinary egg. ”
I pretended to be surprised: "Could it be...... Eggs?"
"Why are you so smart?"
"Because I ate eggs from the alley wonton shop. ”
"Hahaha......"
As soon as the bear child was happy, he was like a sheep epileptic with a sudden attack, laughing until he convulsed.
I sat on the side, very envious.
This kind of heartless laughter, like a shocking martial arts mastery, has been lost from me and even the people around me for many years. To borrow the words of a senior: In the adult world, laughter is just another kind of crying. So, we don't dare to laugh.
The truth of this statement needs to be studied, but the ancient adage of eating people's mouths and taking people's hands short has been tempered into an eternal truth.
I ate such a precious egg, I can't finish eating it and wipe my mouth and leave. It took five minutes to talk to the bear child's parents five baskets of compliments.
After complimenting me and the boss that we both felt that we were worth the money, we left the store satisfied.
This is how adults communicate, the exchange of courtesies that can be met at any time, and the personal debts that must be repaid at any time.
At 7:25 a.m., the bus stop has begun to appear sparsely populated, compared with my previous generation, today's young people are really the next generation of enjoyment, I don't know the man on the other end of the phone, is it the previous generation or the next generation?
I sat in front of the huge advertising sign, looking at the confused night, while reminiscing about the deliciousness of local eggs, while worrying.
At 7:35, the bus entered the station.
I ended my confusion and asked, "Master, how long will it take to get to the downtown cinema station?"
The driver's uncle was a little older, with a chubby face and a pair of chubby eyes, and looked at me chubbyly: "What time is the ticket?"
I briefly recalled, "Eight-fifteen." ”
The uncle looked down at the hour hand on the monitor: "Let your husband change the ticket, it's best to change it to after nine o'clock." ”
"No, no, my husband is stingy. Instead of asking him to change his ticket, let him enter the arena first. ”
I waved my hand excitedly.
The driver's uncle gave me a meaningful smile: "Shanghai man?"
I heard that today's regional black is not called black, it is called preconceived.
The driver's preconceived notion made me smile: "Local man." ”
He sighed, I swiped my card to get into the car, habitually walked to the back of the car, and found a window seat to sit down.
About ten seconds later, the car started.
I opened the window, the evening breeze in early April mixed with a few wisps of spring cold, fortunately there were not many passengers in the car, and there were no old, weak, sick or pregnant, I had the illusion of picking up a bargain.
Normally, it would be nice to pick up a bargain, but at the moment, I can't be happy because I regret it.
Regret agreeing to meet a strange man so hastily.
The anti-wolf manual repeatedly educates single women not to go out to meet guests at this time. Even a densely populated movie theater.
But it was too late to regret it, and I could only pray silently in my heart that the impatient man could not wait an hour.
Thankfully, my prayer was fulfilled.
When I arrived at the left gate of the waiting area, except for a few young couples, there were no more lonely and redundant men.
Seeing this, I also regretted it.
With this man lost, is it really possible for me to find a man who can be saved in three days?
The difficulty of this question is almost equal to that of a high math problem. As a liberal arts student who had never passed math in three years of high school, I felt more pressure than ever.
frowned, Chen Zheng's face was like Garfield's dog head in the group, crooked eyebrows and slanted eyes and stuck out his tongue, so mad that I secretly said: Wu Xiaoqi, you must be like a brave Spanish fighter to trap this man to death.
Yes, that's right, trapped, like a stock market that has been in a hurry.
I lowered my head and took out my phone from my bag and took the initiative to add the unfamiliar Arabic numerals as a friend on WeChat.
He actually agreed.
I raised my phone in a complicated mood, took a photo of the photo waiting area and sent it over: Are you leaving? I'm sorry, I just arrived in a traffic jam. Why don't I ask you to watch the movie tomorrow at 9 a.m.?
Three seconds later, the other person replied.
I looked at the flashing signals on the screen, and since Nanako learned to chat with me by voice, I had a kind of paranoia, and everyone who voice-chatted with me was all Nanako, who was old.
I chanted Amitabha Buddha with my mouth and pointed at one point: Wait in place.
It was the low, mellow voice on the phone.
I didn't give up and asked: By car?
He replied: Yes.
I cared for a cup of coffee: driving at night was inconvenient. If you have gone away, do not turn back for me. Moreover, from a security point of view, it is the safest arrangement to meet tomorrow morning, and we hope to adopt it.
The other party was silent for five seconds, and sent back a voice: Wait.
I sighed.
A man who is older, impatient, has a bad temper, is not polite, and has a low voice, I seem to have found the reason why he is disliked by women. If he is still unfortunate enough to have a face that is sorry for the audience, I think it is not such a terrible thing to accept Nanako's punishment.
With this realization, like a resurrected monster with full blood, I began to energetically track down who was trying to harm me in the group.
Who? Who did it?
I sent a growling face.
The mosquito was the first to bubble: "Fox, you are good, but pity me, a desperate mother who has to help her children with their homework."
Well, I heard that there is a popular saying on the Internet recently: I made evil in the past life, and I accompany the baby to do homework in this life.
I don't think it's going to be a mosquito.
I decided to make a key breakthrough with Kidney Bean and Garfield, and someone came up from not far away: "Are you ...... Wu Xiaoqi?"
Phone man?
I jerked my head up, and the person was stupid as if he had been electrocuted.
"You, are you alright?"
is different from the low voice on the phone, in reality, he is a little gentle.
I quickly came back to my senses, and my fingers quickly typed out a line of words on the keyboard of my mobile phone, and sent it out: Sisters, a beautiful man with a solid family, high-end taste, young and promising, this fox has been found.
