Chapter 201 One person is sad than two unhappy
The borrowing department of the public library in Z City, because the library is not closed on weekends, so Xiaoting is still working today. "Hello, please help me register this book...... "Can you please wait a moment? I'll be fine here soon......" Xiao Ting, who was completely blocked by the two stacks of books piled high on the table, was moving quickly to register these returned books, and she couldn't spare her hands for a while.
Originally, there were a lot of people who came to borrow and return books on the weekend, but today there happened to be two colleagues who took sick leave to go to the hospital for intravenous drips because of the flu, which caught Xiaoting and the rest of her colleagues off guard, and the work pressure increased sharply.
"I said, 'Why are you moving so slowly!!' We've been waiting for a long time!" immediately complained to a reader. "That's right, we've been waiting for a few minutes, and we'll have something to do later, you see the delay...... Your time is time, but our time is also time......" Immediately someone chimed in.
"Yes, yes, time is money, time is life!" "Wasting other people's time is equivalent to killing money!" "With the first complaint, there is immediately a second and third......
"Look at your work...... If you want me to say, the work efficiency of your state institutions is ridiculously low, and if this were put in a private enterprise, the boss would have fired it 10,000 times......" Some people's words are getting more and more excessive.
"I'm really sorry!Please give me three more minutes......" Seeing that there were more and more people waiting, Xiaoting had to stop what she was doing, raised her head and looked at the few readers waiting to register and borrow in front of her, she hooked a few strands of hair hanging down her forehead with her fingers to her ears, and said to the readers waiting at the table: "There was a bit of a malfunction in the computer system just now, and these books in the warehouse have to be re-registered...... Just three minutes, okay?"
A few readers who were originally a little impatient suddenly quieted down, especially the young man in his twenties with glasses at the front, he was the one who spoke the most ugly just now, but now he only glanced at each other with Xiaoting, and his originally white face turned a little red, not only did he stop complaining but also took the initiative to take a step back.
"Hemp, excuse me...... Hurry up, thank you......" He scratched his hair in embarrassment, and even his tone softened a lot. "It's okay, we're not in a hurry, we can ......wait slowly" The attitude of the few guys standing behind him changed one hundred and eighty degrees.
"Thank you for supporting my work! I'll be here right away!" Xiao Ting smiled at them, returned to her seat, picked up the barcode machine, and began to enter the bibliography. Xiao Ting, who was racing against time to work, would not know that the anxious guys on the other side had already been hooked by her smile, where would they still have the heart to urge her......
In half an afternoon, Xiaoting was so busy that she didn't even have time to go to the bathroom, and she felt that she was about to lose her breath, so she finally managed to stay up until the time when the library was closed.
"I'm tired of it......" Xiao Ting seemed to be coquettish and threw herself into Sister Qi's arms, Sister Qi gently stroked Xiao Ting's silky long hair, shook her head, and said lovingly: "You girl, there is no shortage of money at home, why bother to work in our place where there is no oil and water, and it is hard? Isn't it good to be your daughter at home? Or simply go to your company to be a secretary or something, it's better than staying in this place where there is no money, right?"
"Sister Qi~~~~" Xiao Ting said dissatisfiedly: "Why is your tone the same as my parents!I don't like to be a parasite at home, and I don't like the atmosphere in my father's company, I like it here...... Sister Qi, do you know, the librarian is my dream since I was a child, oh......" "Silly child......" Sister Qi smiled, gently hugged Xiaoting's slender waist and held her in her arms.
"Ting'er, there's a girl looking for you outside......" Another colleague's call came from the door, Xiao Ting poked her head out from behind Sister Qi and looked at the door, through the tempered glass door, there was a slender girl standing outside the door, she was wearing a black slim long coat, a silver-gray thick scarf around her neck, and a thick tweed skirt with red and green checkered black on the bottom, black silk leggings lined her calves were slender and slender, her feet wore a pair of delicate mid-heel boots, and her long hair was draped down to cover half of her cheeks, revealing only a pair of big eyes hidden behind the long flowing sea, making the girl look mysterious and charming。
"Xiao Nan!" Xiao Ting's eyes lit up, and a smile like a summer flower suddenly bloomed on her face. In fact, if it weren't for the thick silver-gray scarf around the girl's neck that she had woven with her own hands, Xiao Ting might not have been able to recognize Xiao Nan immediately, because in her impression, she had never seen Xiao Nan dressed so ladylike.
Trotting all the way, Xiao Ting rushed to the door of the reading room like a cheerful bird, pulled Xiao Nan's cold hands, looked at her cold red face, and asked happily: "Xiao Nan! Why did you suddenly remember to pick me up from work? Aren't you going to accompany your father today? Uncle, has he already gone back?"
Xiao Nan nodded silently, opened his mouth to say something but never made a sound, just looked at Xiao Ting with a bright gaze, and there was an indescribable bitterness in his eyes.
"You...... What's wrong with you, baby?" Xiao Ting was taken aback, and took Xiao Nan's cold little hand over to cover her heart in distress, and opened the long hair curtain on her forehead with her fingers, and asked, "You seem to have encountered something unhappy?"
Xiao Nan suddenly broke free of Xiao Ting's hand, opened her arms and hugged Xiao Ting tightly. Through the bodies of the two of them close to each other, Xiao Ting clearly felt that Xiao Nan's body was trembling.
"Xiao Nan, what's wrong with you, what's going on?" Xiao Ting suddenly felt a panic for no reason. "No matter what happens, the two of us will bear it together, didn't we say it a long time ago?"
However, Xiao Nan didn't say anything, she hugged Xiao Ting for a while, and tried to make it look like nothing had happened, pretending to be relaxed: "Actually, nothing happened, I just ...... Suddenly I miss you so much......"
Xiao Ting stared at Xiao Nan's eyes, sighed softly, and said softly: "You can't hide it from me, something must have happened...... Did you have a fight with your dad? Is it because of the two of us?"
Xiao Nan shook her head, trying to laugh but couldn't. "No, don't think nonsense......" Xiao Ting knows Xiao Nan's personality, if she doesn't want to say it, no matter how you ask, you can't ask. Xiao Ting gently squeezed Xiao Nan's hand and said to her: "You wait for me here for a while, I'll go change my clothes, and we'll walk and relax together later, maybe your mood will be better!"
"Okay!" Xiao Nan said with a smile, but there was a hint of bitterness in that smile, which made Xiao Ting's heart feel like it had been lightly pierced by a thin needle......
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The busiest commercial street in Z City, the doors and windows of the shops are full of flashing lights, and many shops have small Christmas trees in front of them, although they are just for the opportunity to carry out promotional activities, but they do set off a bit of Christmas joy.
Xiao Nan and Xiao Ting are like a pair of close sisters, holding hands and interlocking their fingers, Xiao Ting's empty other hand is holding a large handful of various snacks strung with bamboo skewers, tasting while shopping, dancing and telling Xiao Nan about the interesting things that happened around her in the past few days when the two have not met, when it comes to funny places, Xiao Ting always can't help but giggle first, and although Xiao Nan is also pursing her lips and laughing, her smile always looks a little reluctant.
"We're tired of walking, let's go over there and rest......" Xiaoting pointed to an empty bench next to the street lamp. On the weekend shopping street, almost all the benches were occupied, and it was not easy to find such a place to stay.
"Come, try this sizzling octopus!" After Xiao Ting sat down, she stretched out the bamboo skewer in her hand and handed it to Xiao Nan's mouth, Xiao Nan took a small bite and chewed slowly.
"Xiao Nan, what's wrong with you today?Have you been sullen?Ask you and you won't say it......" Xiao Ting turned Xiao Nan's face and stared at her eyes carefully: "Are you ......" She silently calculated, and then suddenly realized: "Oh~ I know, you've been feeling unwell these days, right?
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much today, it's just that my head is a little dizzy, and I don't have the strength to be lazy, my mother said that I may be a little anemic......" Xiao Nan followed Xiao Ting's train of thought and echoed, although she knew that the reason was not here at all, but ...... She didn't want Xiaoting to know why she was sad......
Although she has been a girl for several months, Xiao Nan has experienced a lot of things that a girl may experience, but she can't change this habit of taking things alone since she was a boy, she still can't be like Xiao Ting, when she encounters sad and sad things, as long as she finds someone to talk to, she will feel better. She thought that she could still be like before, as long as she secretly hid herself and licked her wounds alone for a few days, she would be fine, there was no need to drag others to be sad with herself, she felt that even if one person was secretly sad, it was better than two people being unhappy together.
"Hey......" Xiao Ting looked up at the sky illuminated by neon lights, and sighed softly. "It's all because I've caused you trouble, otherwise, you wouldn't be what you are now...... Seeing your sullen appearance, my heart is not good......"
"Don't say stupid things, how can I blame you...... If you want to blame it, you can only blame the arrangement of fate......" Xiao Nan leaned softly on Xiao Ting, and said lazily with her eyes closed. "Anyway, I'm ...... No regrets......"
Xiao Ting put her chin on Xiao Nan's shoulder, let her cheeks be close to Xiao Nan, and whispered in her ear: "Xiao Nan, I don't know what happened to you this afternoon, but I want to tell you at this moment, I love you...... No matter what happens to you, and no matter where you are in the future, our hearts will never be separated. ”
As she spoke, Xiao Ting turned over her wrist and interlocked her right hand with the ten fingers of Xiao Nan's right hand, so that the common scar in the palms of the two people was tightly pressed together......
Suddenly, there was a sound of an inline four-cylinder locomotive driving not far away, Xiao Nan and Xiao Ting followed the prestige at the same time, only to see a large displacement locomotive roaring from the street, the driver was a thin and tall boy, wearing a helmet painted with skeletons on his head, and on the back seat of the locomotive sat a short-haired girl wearing a brown thick skirt.
The locomotive drove past the bench with a roar, and Xiao Nan and Xiao Ting both saw that the girl in the back seat was still holding a bouquet of fiery red roses in her arms, and her round little face was full of happiness and joy.
