【04】 Sweets
Shen Ci can see Xie Sinian's huge poster everywhere. In the subway, bus stops, shopping malls, and all kinds of places can see advertisements endorsed by him, which are pervasive. It's hard not to see him.
Shen Ci pursed his lips, withdrew his gaze from the poster, and got on the subway.
In the dessert shop, Yi Nanshu sat in front of the window, I don't know how long he waited. Shen Ci entered the store and walked straight in his direction.
"Senior Sister Shen, long time no see. Seeing her coming, Yi Nanshu stood up first and beckoned to her.
He is mainly on a business trip to Cloud City this time, and there is a research and discussion exchange meeting that needs to be attended, and he will stay for about a week. Before coming, Shi Niang knew that Shen Ci was in Cloud City, so she prepared a lot of things for him to bring to Shen Ci.
Looking at the large package of exquisitely packaged snack boxes that the senior brother suddenly took out, coupled with the suitcase he handed over, even a perennial indifferent person like Shen Ci rarely had a moment of mismanagement of expression.
"Thank you for me. Shen Ci pondered for a while, and finally said this sentence against his will.
Shi Niang is good anywhere, but it is a little powerless. She loves to cook, especially small snacks that she can share with others. Shen Ci still can't forget the subtle expressions of wanting to cry when he and his brothers and sisters went to the tutor's house for the first time and were entertained by the teacher's mother.
"Senior sister, don't live up to the kindness of your sister, remember to finish eating~"
"I'll go back and ask my sister to send you some too. "She is young, and she is most taken care of by her mother. So on weekdays, Shen Ci is also the person who receives the most things from his mother.
If this kind of thing happens to other brothers and sisters in the same school, it may cause bad things like imbalance in their hearts. But in Shen Ci's master's door, instead of feeling that there was anything to be unhappy about, they gloated, and the hypocrisy of benevolence and righteousness felt sorry for the beloved Shen Ci.
Shen Ci touched the box and smiled. She doesn't like to hurt each other, she only likes to hurt others unilaterally.
"Don't, don't, I want to live a few more years. ”
Yi Nanshu was stunned for a second, he was really afraid that Shen Ci would turn back to him once.
"Oh, your dessert is ready. Yi Nanshu pointed to the man behind her.
The dessert was ordered according to Shen Ci's preference after he entered the store, and after calculating the time for Shen Ci to go to the appointment, everything was just right.
Sure enough, as soon as he found that there was a dessert, Shen Ci's eyes lit up a little. Yi Nanshu felt heartbroken, he was not as important as a dessert.
This plastic flower is like a family.
On the other side, Song Jing looked at the gorgeous blind date in front of him tiredly, and felt deep helplessness.
He is old, but he doesn't even have a good female friend by his side, let alone a girlfriend. Not to mention women, there is not even a female mosquito, Mrs. Song is heartbroken.
Mrs. Song, who is addicted to playing cards every day, thought for a long time and didn't think of anyone who could stand her son's character, and finally stretched out her hand to the daughter of the card friend with difficulty, and specially arranged a time for the two children to meet and get to know each other.
But the other party likes the muscular one, and doesn't like Song Jing's weak model. As soon as she came, she got straight to the point, strangling the opportunity to contact in the future. Song Jing and her were highly unanimous, and seeing that there was no need to continue talking, they immediately closed the situation.
Ms. Song spent a lot of effort and finally tossed out the blind date, and it ended sloppily in Song Jing's hands without holding on for five minutes. Thinking about it, Song Jing silently bowed to tears of sympathy for his worried mother.
The seat opposite was empty, and Song Jing was about to leave, but at the moment he got up, he found Shen Ci not far away.
Song Jing couldn't see Yi Nanshu's face, and could only tell from the figure behind him that it should be a tall man. I don't know what the other party said, the coldness on Shen Ci's face has eased a lot, and there is a lot more humanity.
In his memory, Shen Ci rarely showed his soft side. In more memories, she is a cold and hard image.
"I didn't expect you to be here, it seems like a coincidence. Song Jing didn't think about it in his mind, raised his feet and walked over, and came to a chance encounter.
A figure suddenly fell in front of him, Shen Ci raised his head, a little uncomfortable, "Sit down and talk." ”
He grows tall, and it depends on him that he needs to tilt his head up, and Shen Ci is tired.
Song Jing was not polite, he sat directly next to Shen Ci, nodded to Yi Nanshu, and said that you don't mind.
Yi Nanshu secretly rolled his eyes, this person pretended to be very pretentious, and asked Shen Ci, "Your boyfriend?"
"It's not. ”
The answer was so crisp, it seems that it is indeed not. ”
If it is true, Yi Nanshu can't imagine that the picture of his junior sister falling in love with someone is too magical and too scary.
"Senior brother really loves to laugh. Song Jing interjected at the right time.
Yi Nanshu sighed, he is Shen Ci's senior brother, what does it have to do with him Song Jing, why is it so affectionate?
Originally, Shen Ci wanted to stay with Yi Nanshu for a meal, but their brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she was often taken care of by her teacher, so she had to express it anyway. But Yi Nanshu still has important things to do on this trip, and he can't stay for a long time, so he can only refuse.
"Next time. The next time my sister returns to Rongcheng, don't forget that my brother will slaughter you well, and I will let you prepare mentally in advance. ”
"Got it. ”
It's time to eat, and I've walked Yi Nanshu, and I still have to eat. The remaining two summed it up and chose a nearby hot pot restaurant. As soon as she found a place to sit down, the proprietress began to greet enthusiastically. When everything was finalized, Shen Cigang wanted to get up and prepare the seasoning, but was pressed by Song Jing first.
"Don't move, I'll come, you keep things. ”
Hmm? Shen Ci had no choice but to agree.
Xiaolongkan hot pot has a good reputation in the local area, and the business of the store is booming and very lively. Shen Ci looked at his surroundings, and there was a small cry not far away. Looking at the source, it turned out that the little girl was choked by chili peppers and cried aggrievedly. Her mother immediately put down the chopsticks, picked her up and comforted her, and patted her on the back gently.
Shen Ciwu was distracted, and after Song Jing came back, he called her many times, but she didn't move. Looking at her line of sight, I almost understood the reason for her distraction.
"I'm sorry, but I was in a state of mind. ”
When Shen Ci came back to his senses, he found that Song Jing had already taken the dishes. The red soup is boiling and looks appetizing. Before coming, the two discussed whether to order a mandarin duck pot or a red pot, and finally found that they were both red pot lovers and meatless seed players. The taste is surprisingly consistent, and the consensus is successfully reached.
Song Jing is almost ten years older than Zhou Yan, and he has a high seniority, so he directly became a little uncle. His parents don't care much about their son, they let Zhou Yan make up his own mind about everything, and he is a little doting, so that Zhou Yan has a bunch of problems. Song Jing and this nephew are a lot different in age, but there is no generation gap in getting along. I don't know what's going on, this kid has been close to him since he was a child, and he likes to talk to him about something. Song Jing mentioned to him several times that he had some problems, but the other party didn't care about it and didn't pay attention to it.
Zhou Yan was stubborn, and asked Mr. Shen to pay more attention to him and give feedback on his situation at school. ”
Shen Ci smiled, "Mr. Song, I am a university teacher. Not a high school teacher, not a counselor. ”
Does a college student still need the teacher's help to keep an eye on him?
Zhou Yan, who was playing games in the dormitory, felt a little itchy on the tip of his nose and couldn't help sneezing. He touched his head, who was talking to him behind his back?
Song Jing finally realized that nothing was wrong, he miscalculated for a while, forgetting that Shen Ci was not the head teacher, and his face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and unnatural.
Song Jing was careful, and the first two times she had contact with Shen Ci, she used her left hand. This time, the right hand I used looked only slightly unnatural, and I was generally very used to the feeling of the right hand.
Sensing that the other party was looking at her hand holding chopsticks, Shen Ci paused, "I think it's strange, I want to ask if I'm left-handed or right-handed?"
"I just think that two hands can be used so naturally, and the process is not too smooth. ”
"Doesn't it feel weird?"
Shen Ci remembered that when she first came to the school to teach, the curious eyes of the students in the audience seemed to have happened yesterday. Even though they are not malicious, people's subconscious curiosity about unusual things is enough to sting "not so normal people".
"It's actually pretty good. ”
Shen Ci was stunned.

Last time Shen Ci said that he would invite Song Jing to dinner, she really invited her, and she was the one who paid the bill in the end. Song Jing was in a good mood, continued to order a few plates of meat, and went down to the pot. The so-called exchange of courtesies is just a matter of you coming and going. Since Shen Ci wants to invite, then let her go, next time he will have an excuse to ask someone out.
At this meal, Song Jing ate frankly, and he didn't think that it would be degrading to do so.
There were so many things that Yi Nanshu brought with him, and it was not enough to fill a suitcase, but also to add a big bag. Shen Ci can imagine how resentful the senior brother is in his heart this time, it is really miserable.
Shi Niang is sometimes very generous to others, but sometimes she is also very frugal. Things are heavy, postage is expensive, and the tutor's family is a well-off family, and the place in the province still has to be saved.
It's just that Shiniang's concern makes people feel very stressed, and she doesn't feel tossed. Shen Ci couldn't bear to live up to the kindness of the teacher, so he didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the teacher.
Along the way, Song Jing helped carry things, otherwise she wouldn't be able to handle it alone. Song Jing couldn't help but admire Shen Ci, this master treated her with care.

Xie Sinian was the last person to know that his father was going to get married. There was no notice, no contact, just an invitation that came to your door out of nowhere. The words on the invitation were particularly eye-catching, and Xie Sinian skipped it and threw it in the trash.
Some of his father's actions are ridiculous. Isn't it ridiculous that a son knows that his father is married, and he has to hear it from someone else first, and then receive an invitation?
Ten-year-old Xie Sinian would be angry and feel unhappy when he saw his father marry a new wife, but now the twenty-eight-year-old Xie Sinian is left with nothing left after seeing it. The father-son relationship between them has long been worn out in the years, and the last love has been worn out.
He looked at his phone, there was no new news in Shen Ci's ticket circle, and he couldn't get a glimpse of what kind of mood she was in now. Come to think of it, she didn't care about these in the first place, and naturally she wouldn't be affected by it, so how could she make a special clockwork for this kind of thing.
The night was sultry, a friend called, and Mingyuan answered it easily. After working overtime for several days in a row, his mental state was not good. The green shadow under the corner of his eyes is deep, and his face is also tired. Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, he was a little excited, "Is there any news?"
"Not yet. Later, due to the demolition of the development of the commercial area, the residents of Yuncheng have moved away for several years. As for the Banyan City side, the nearby schools all said that there was no such person. ”
Mingyuan pinched his eyebrows, a little tired, "Then continue to look for it." I will pay the money, and I hope you can give me a satisfactory result. ”
"Mingyuan, it's been so many years, why do you have to insist on finding her? Maybe she has forgotten you, maybe she has already been changed by society, or maybe there are other possibilities. "If you really find it, maybe it's a good thing or a trouble.
"No matter what, what I owe her, I have to pay it back. ”
Seeing that he insisted, the other party was also helpless, "Forget it, I'll help you find it again, but you also have to plan for the bad." ”
This sea of people is vast, and they have too little information, and trying to find someone is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
