Chapter 293: Weekend Bookstore
In the morning, the streets are sparsely sparsely sparsely lined with a few office workers with diagonal bags, with dark circles under their eyes, squinting and yawning while the bus has not yet arrived. Fastest updates
Fang Ning could understand the declining expressions of these office workers, and instead of looking forward to tomorrow Saturday, you should have rested and slept until dawn, but you were suddenly called by the company's boss to inform you that you are not allowed to ask for leave if you work overtime tomorrow.
Among them, there is an office worker who Fang Ning knows.
That person is Cao Yan from Building No. 2 of Lijiang Community opposite, he is Cao Ying's cousin, and Fang Ning and him don't look up and look down on weekdays, so they can't help but say hello when they meet. "Brother Cao, good morning!"
Cao Yan squinted his eyes and yawned, he played a lot of towers all night last night, lost several games in a row, and was already a little annoyed, and after taking a shower, he was ready to lie down and play on his mobile phone to watch movies and stay up all night, who knew that when the point was turned, his female leader made a phone call and asked for overtime tomorrow and was not allowed to ask for leave and go over early, and suddenly he was dumbfounded, and he thought about not doing it, but he thought that it was difficult to find a job this year, so he endured it.
As a result, I thought about playing with my mobile phone and went to sleep, and I accidentally played until two or three o'clock before dragging to sleep, and I got up listless this morning, and after washing up in a hurry, I ate a few steamed buns on the street, and stood on the platform waiting for the bus, although it was summer, but the temperature in the morning was not enough, and he only took a short sleeve out, and shivered while yawning and shivering.
The Fang Ning in front of him shook his hand a few times in front of him before he reacted, scratching his head embarrassedly, "It's Fang Ning! Hey, isn't this Saturday, why do you get up so early?"
Fang Ning carried a bag of steaming steamed buns in his hand, and said with a wry smile, "Bring breakfast to my parents, run down by the way, and exercise." ”
Cao Yan threw a sympathetic look over, "It's really rare to see a diligent child like you." ”
"Brother Cao, the bus is coming!" Fang Ning suddenly pointed to the car that was swaying on the opposite side.
"Huh?" Cao Yan turned his head and suddenly said in a hurry, "The car is here, then I won't talk to you, next time I will find a chance, please have supper, and then we will talk ......"
"Oh, don't squeeze!" Before he finished speaking, the bus had already stopped at the platform, opened the door, and a few sleepy-eyed office workers next to him suddenly became energetic, rushed up and squeezed the door, if he didn't leave, he would have to wait for the next bus.
Fang Ning pinched his ears, he originally wanted to tell him something, but looking at the bus that had already gone away, he could only wait to find him next time.
Cao Yan is a person, he still has a detailed understanding, he has the same bad problems as ordinary young people, likes to play games and stay up late, has a frizzy personality, and does not understand human feelings, but it is undeniable that he is also very capable, and belongs to the type of technical talents, otherwise, the menopausal old woman will not put up with him.
Fang Ning deliberately dug the foot of the wall, but now the shelves at home have not been erected, and even if they are dug up, they can't keep people.
But it's too early to think about these things.
Fang Ning went back with breakfast, put the buns, fritters and soy milk on the big table in the dining room, and sneaked around his parents' room, at this point they were still asleep, he went to his grandfather and grandmother's room to wander around, the same was true, as for Fang Wei's boudoir, the big room door was locked, and there was a sound of sleeping breathing inside.
He returned to the living room the same way, ate breakfast slowly, watched the morning news for a while, and got up to go for a run by the river.
He hadn't exercised for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he was in junior high school, he basically ran every day, but high school was different, he had to get up early every day and ride a bicycle to school.
There was no white fog in the morning by the river, the fog had long been dispersed by the sun, and there was only a sparse crowd on the shore, and he still met a few acquaintances while running, all of whom were neighbors, and they didn't look up and look down.
Fang Ning had just circled along the scenery along the river, and when he was tired of running, he stretched his arms on the railing by the river to expand his chest and take a deep breath, when Cheng Xi's phone called.
On the other side of the phone, Cheng Xi's cold voice rang, "Morning, Fang Ning!"
Fang Ning smiled slightly, "Morning!"
"Rest or run?" asked Cheng Xiwan.
"Well, running. Fang Ning said.
"Oh. Cheng Xi nodded, and said straight to the point, "Do you have time in the morning?" I want to go to the bookstore to buy some books. ”
Fang Ning immediately realized, "If you have time, where are you?" I'll come to you when I'm done running." ”
"Don't worry, I haven't gotten up yet, we meet at Xinhua Bookstore at half past nine to see if there are any books I want. ”
"Well, that's it. After Fang Ning hung up the phone, he took a deep breath and continued to finish the remaining half a lap, it takes perseverance to do one thing, and it takes more perseverance to persevere, only in this way can his willpower and physical fitness be improved.
In Xinhua Bookstore, the sunlight shines through the shadows of the trees and dots of light on the ground, and the pigeons stand on the telephone poles and coo, sometimes dropping feathers.
When Fang Ning arrived at Xinhua Bookstore, Cheng Xi was already waiting there, wearing a white cotton skirt, black hair shoulder-length, eyes like bright stars, and standing elegantly.
She stood quietly under the paulownia tree, her figure blending with the shadow behind the tree, and through the glass of the bookstore, she could see a few boys looking at it from time to time, but they were cautious, for fear of disturbing this beautiful scene.
However, the next moment, Cheng Xi turned his head and nodded at Fang Ning, which was regarded as a greeting. The latter bared a mouthful of white teeth, took a step forward, and stood side by side with her.
"Let's go in and have a look. As soon as Cheng Xi finished speaking, he looked at him again, and couldn't help but be surprised, "You finally got new clothes?"
Fang Ning pinched his ears and said helplessly, "Yesterday, my mother said that my previous taste was too mature and didn't conform to the trend of teenagers now, and then dragged me to the clothing store in Lao Cai to buy a few new clothes, how does it look?"
Cheng Xi blinked his eyes and couldn't help but say, "What Auntie said is not bad at all, your previous outfit was indeed a bit young and old." ”
She stretched out her white fingers to smooth out the folds on Fang Ning's shoulder, and nodded very calmly, "Well, it looks a lot more handsome now." ”
Fang Ning sighed, "I thought you were different from other girls, you didn't pay much attention to your appearance. ”
"However, only if you look good on the outside, will someone pay attention to your inside!" Cheng Xi thought for a while.
"Don't talk about that, what books are you going to find?"
Fang Ning and Cheng Xi entered the Xinhua Bookstore, their voices were much lowered, in addition to the people who bought books, there were also many people reading books, so they had to keep quiet at all times, this is the same as in the library study room, no one likes people who make loud noises.
Cheng Xi didn't reply to him, but went directly to the science fiction bookshelf, standing in front of the stacked books, his slender fingertips wandered over the books that exuded the fragrance of books, and asked Fang Ning softly with his head sideways, "Do you have any science fiction book recommendations?"
Fang Ning was surprised when she liked to read science fiction books, but still pointed to the top book on the bookcase, "If you want to say that science fiction is of a super high level, and if it is interesting, it should be the first to recommend "The Three-Body Problem", in addition to constructing a grand world view, there is also thinking about human nature. ”
"I've heard of the three-body problem, what about others?" Cheng Xi shook his head, his gaze swept over a book.
"This Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is still good, with a lot of irony and dark humor. Fang Ning pointed to a series of books on the second floor of the bookcase and said.
"Then listen to you. After Cheng Xi finished speaking, he asked the bookstore guide to pick up the new book that had not been opened.
When she was paying at the counter of the bookstore, Fang Ning couldn't help but say to you, "Are you reading these books?"
"No, this is the task assigned to me by my sister, she has recently become obsessed with science fiction, and has always believed that there is life other than Earth. Cheng Xi couldn't deny it, "Maybe there is, maybe not, but these are too far away from us." ”
"It turned out to be Sister Ying, which is understandable. Fang Ning understood.
