Chapter 18: The Cat and the Mouse (1)
At half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, the three people in the big room talked about the handicap situation and began to eat a boxed lunch.
This period is the best illustration of the rhythm of Hong Kong's nightlife: the morning session starts at 10 o'clock and then lasts until 12:30 p.m., and the afternoon market starts at 2:30 p.m. and then lasts until 4 o'clock. It took more than a decade for Hong Kong's trading hours to gradually converge with the mainland's.
Closing the lunch at half past twelve is a severe test for the stomach of all financial practitioners, which basically means that 1 o'clock can only have a proper meal. In order to withstand the attack of hunger, the morning tea culture is very developed in Hong Kong's financial system, but in the new century in the mainland, it is not so particular, and it is eaten directly in a boxed lunch, after all, you can't go to the restaurant downstairs in Tianxiang every day.
Tianhao often thinks of Cheng Cheng when eating a boxed lunch, I don't know if she will continue to go to the bookstore to read books today, and she is more worried about her lunch, and plans to use the lunch break to go to the bookstore to go around, and she can't accompany her to read, and she can say a few words.
looked at the door of the bookstore, and found that Cheng Cheng was really still reading in the usual place, and was about to go over to say hello, the other party raised his head as if telepathically, and when she looked at each other, she showed a happy smile while waving her hand at him strangely, signaling not to come.
What's going on?
Eyes swept to the side along the other party's fingers, Chang Tianhao was happy: Isn't it Shen Fei who is sitting not far away.
This guy actually chased him to the bookstore?
Or did Cheng Cheng know that he wouldn't come today, so he asked Shen Fei to read the book instead?
According to the writing of the brain-dead TV series, Chang Tianhao should have turned his head angrily when he saw this scene, and then there was a deeper and deeper misunderstanding between the two sides. But he didn't, stopped his steps and smiled meaningfully, and gestured to Cheng Cheng with his right hand to eat.
The other shook his head.
He turned and walked away.
Cheng Yushi was really almost angry today: I was asked by my mother last night, and I tossed and turned for half the night, not knowing what to do. She is a sensitive child, listening to her mother's tone and knowing that she is against her relationship with Chang Tianhao, listening to her father's tone, but acquiescing.
I didn't know what to do when I was caught in the middle, my heart was numb all night, and I didn't feel good when I got up in the morning.
Thinking of pageing Chang Tianhao to complain, but as soon as he thought that his company had something to do, he gave up, since he couldn't come today, he planned to stay at home and not go anywhere, but he didn't expect Shen Fei to call over and come to the house to play, she had the heart to refuse, but she couldn't say it too bluntly: Yesterday, it was clearly Song Li who sued, and maybe she also said bad things about Chang Tianhao, so Cheng's mother had this attitude.
She was afraid of entanglement, and she was afraid that Song's mother would continue to complain, so she made up a reason to go out to read.
I thought that this would be a way to get rid of, but I didn't expect that less than half an hour after arriving at the bookstore, Shen Fei also arrived - it was his mother who reported the news.
Cheng Yushi's unhappy expression was obviously written on his face, Shen Fei didn't dare to sit nearby, only 3-4 meters apart, he couldn't read the books that Cheng Yushi liked to read, but Xinhua Bookstore was so big, at least he could take a book he liked to read.
Cheng Yushi wanted to leave, but Shen Fei was sticky like kraft candy, so angry that she sulked all morning. However, Shen Fei also hit the evil spirit, no matter what kind of face Cheng Yushi gave her, she just didn't leave. Not only did he not leave, but he also ran before and after to be courteous, buying water, drinks, and snacks for her, and when the lunch was ordered, he ran over to ask him what he was eating and if he wanted to eat together.
Cheng Yushi was angry with him, so he said that he was not hungry, and Shen Fei was embarrassed to eat alone, so the two of them held on hard in the bookstore, obviously hungry until half past 12, and they were still pretending to study hard - more serious than the college entrance examination review.
Originally, Chang Tianhao could rush in directly and pull people away, but this would inevitably lead to a conflict with Shen Fei, and he was not sure of Cheng Cheng's attitude now, so he thought of other ways as soon as he had an idea.
When he went to Xinfeng Snacks opposite, he first packed a bowl of shrimp and wontons, grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a note and stuffed it in, asking the clerk to help him send it to the Xinhua Bookstore opposite and hand it to Cheng Yushi.
The other party looked embarrassed: "We didn't deliver it, let's talk about it, just take it yourself?"
"Isn't it inconvenient for me, No, I'll give you 50 yuan for running errands!"
If Meituan and Ele.me delivery men see this kind of order in later generations, they will have to go crazy: they can get 50 yuan for delivery only 100 meters back and forth - this is 50 yuan in 1998!
Chang Tianhao told the other party: "Don't say I sent it, just say that she ordered it herself." ”
"I understand, I understand......" There was a comprehension expression on the other side: Young people nowadays are really good at playing!
Seeing the clerk coming over to deliver wontons, Shen Fei wondered: "Someone actually brought you lunch?"
"I'm set, I'm too lazy to run, someone will deliver it every day. ”
"Give me some to eat. ”
"Go, go, a bowl of wontons is still embarrassed to grab it from me, are you ashamed?" Cheng Yushi walked to the corner outside the stairs and began to eat regardless of Sven's image......
Shen Fei was helpless, and he was really hungry, so he had to go out and buy it by himself. As soon as he walked on the front foot, Cheng Yushi opened the note that Chang Tianhao stuffed in: the medical book counter on the 4th floor.
Cheng Cheng was overjoyed, looked back and saw that Shen Fei was no longer there, so he directly stuffed the wontons into the trash can and trotted to the 4th floor. She knew that this wonton must have been obtained by Chang Tianhao, and the two of them in the computer city had "cooperated" twice.
Seeing her face, Chang Tianhao frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Yushi told the situation three times and divided five by two, and said indignantly: "This person is getting more and more excessive, he doesn't say anything like a leper dog, and he actually sues my mother." ”
Chang Tianhao smiled: Shen Fei's kung fu energy was completely used in the wrong place, which forced the girl to dislike him even more. But I have to admire this perseverance, he can't do this kind of thing - there is a difference between literature and science.
In fact, Shen Fei was also forced to be helpless: he asked Shen Lili for advice, but the other party said that he was not accompanied and asked him to learn something; he wanted to go to Cheng's house, but Cheng Yushi didn't let him go, so he had no choice but to go to the bookstore to mark people. He didn't dare to use force - Cheng Yushi was of course afraid that he and his mother would sue, but if she and Shen Hongrui sue, the scene would be even worse. forced the dignified mayor to be like this, Cheng Yushi is still the first one.
Thinking so, Chang Tianhao had the intention to tease the girl: "I thought I was not here, you were afraid of being lonely and asking him out again." ”
Cheng Cheng's face changed greatly, his mouth pouted, and he was almost so aggrieved that he wanted to cry: it would be really stupid if he couldn't hear the meaning of this accusation.
"Alright, alright. Chang Tianhao stepped forward and hugged her, "I'm kidding you." ”
"People didn't ask him out, he posted it himself. Cheng Cheng broke free angrily.
Chang Tianhao caught up and hugged again: "I know, I said that I was joking with you...... Otherwise, I just turned around and left, what else can I do?"
Cheng Cheng's face looked better at this time, and he didn't break free anymore.
"Ahem!" A salesman next to him coughed dissatisfiedly: In public, you two pull and pull, flirt and pay attention to the impact!
Cheng Cheng's ears were blushing, and Chang Tianhao was also embarrassed, pulling the other party downstairs: "Let's ......"
"Where?"
"Zhiweiguan eats, and then sends you home. If you look back and interrogate, you will say that your stomach is uncomfortable and go back first, girls, there are always a few days a month that are uncomfortable. ”
Cheng Yushi couldn't help but pat him again, patted back and forth, and obediently followed him into the taxi and left, poor Shen Fei walked away for a few minutes, and the girl who had been watching the morning ran away.
In the Zhiwei Guan, Cheng Yushi asked while gobbling up duck blood vermicelli: "How did you come up with this method, I have never seen Xinfeng deliver food to people." ”
"Money can make ghosts grind, and besides, the lunch rush has passed. ”
"Just a few steps for 50 yuan?"
"Sending wontons is not valuable, what is valuable is the transmission of information, and the underground party has put their lives on the line in order to transmit information. ”
Cheng Yushi was quite satisfied with this: he felt that he had a way and would not directly clash with Shen Fei, and the most important thing was that he was also generous, and ordinary little boys would definitely mumble about this meeting.
"Didn't you say you were busy with the project yesterday, why did you slip away again today?"
Chang Tianhao said: "On a whim, I counted that everything was not going well for you today, so I came quickly." ”
"Coax me ...... again"
"By the way, you just said last night?"
Cheng Yushi repeated the scene with a red face, Chang Tianhao nodded, and said to himself: "I'm so handsome? No? Sure enough, the old saying is good, there is Xi Shi in the eyes of a lover: I think Cheng Cheng is beautiful like a fairy, and Cheng Cheng looks at me so handsome......"
"Poor mouth!"
After getting along for the past two days, plus yesterday's heart, Cheng Cheng was not as shy as before, and stretched out his hand to twist Chang Tianhao's waist - the technique is not as skilled as Xiaoqin, but this self-taught ability is the same, he can only bare his teeth and crack his mouth to "beg for mercy".
