Chapter 20 Romance Hooks Tail Fingers

Xu Lixue and I returned to the Mano Hotel, exhausted, with numb legs, lying on the bed with our arms outstretched......

"My stomach is hungry. I turned my head to look at Xu Lixue, "Are you hungry now?"

Xu Lixue stood in front of the white and smooth rectangular glass mirror, combing her long black and silky hair with her hands, "My stomach is also a little hungry." ”

"Let's go downstairs to the Mano Hotel together, and then go to the little shop next to it, and find some late-night snacks. ”

"Okay!" Xu Lixue readily agreed.

Xu Lixue and I walked out of the double room No. 608 together. I gently closed the door with my right hand. We talked as we walked......

"Wait, what do you want to eat for supper?" I asked, taking Xu Lixue's right hand.

"Not only is it beautiful, but it's also a delicious late-night snack. ”

"You just say it directly: it's all good. ”

That's what I mean. ”

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Lixue and I arrived at the night market in Bangkok, and we were surrounded by golden lights, colorful neon signs, crowds of people, passing each other, and the smell of roast chicken in the air.

Under the rows of small stalls and umbrellas, there are all kinds of fruits, including pineapples, bananas, mangoes, etc., and there are many barbecue stalls, and the iron mesh on the barbecue grill is full of lamb skewers, prawns, chicken wings...... It makes people drool and taste the delicious taste of the world.

The most eye-catching thing in the night market is a golden food truck, with a triangular red front and a rectangular body, the body opens a window, the car is full of posters of milk tea, and the shelves are full of many drinks and cigarettes. The oil pan on the countertop is still frying round pancakes, and the freshly made pancakes are put into the hot oil pan, making a loud sound and emitting many bubbles......

I walked to the window of the food truck, turned to Xu Lixue and said, "Do you drink milk tea?"

"Drink. Xu Lixue smiled slightly.

I pointed to the picture on the menu, told the boss to order two pai pad thai, and two cups of milk tea, and pointed to the pancakes on the pan, and then held out two fingers to imply that I wanted to buy two pancakes.

Xu Lixue and I found two free plastic stools and sat down and waited for the fried noodles and pancakes.

Ten minutes later, the owner of the food truck served two steaming hot Pad Thai noodles, and on a white ceramic disc two peeled bent shrimp, crispy bean sprouts and onions, sprinkled with sautéed crushed peanuts.

"The peanuts taste so good. I sniffed it with my nose, picked some crushed peanuts with my chopsticks, and tasted it slightly, "Well, it's delicious!"

"This Pad Thai has a special taste, fragrant, spicy and sweet, and it feels like there is a smell of fish sauce. ”

"Yes. "I picked up a piece of tender shrimp meat with chopsticks and put it in my mouth, and chewed it twice, and it tasted delicious," and indeed there was fish sauce. ”

"I'm right. Xu Lixue tilted her head and said mischievously.

"You're right. I pulled out my white phone from my bag, "Oh, I forgot to call Officer Charlie Weiss." ”

"What did you tell Officer Charlie Weiss about the case?"

"Yes. ”

"Sogdonla is mentally ill, is what he said true or false? ”

"Regardless of whether what Sugdonla said is true or not, this is also a very important clue, and I must tell Officer Charlie Weiss that it may help solve the case. ”

"You're talking about ......"

I called Officer Charlie Weiss to tell him what had happened to him, and he said he was very grateful for my call and to solve the case as soon as possible.

"Officer Charlie Weiss said to go and find out the facts of the case. ”

"That's good. I hope that Officer Charlie Weiss will arrest the real culprit as soon as possible and give justice to the deceased. ”

"Are you full?"

"I'm almost done. You talk to Officer Charlie Weiss on the phone, and the Pad Thai is cold. ”

"I'm going to eat chow mein now. ”

"That's right! Chow mein doesn't taste good when it's cold. ”

"Wait, where else do you want to go shopping?"

"Today I was tired from walking all day and didn't want to go shopping. I think we'll go back to the Mano Hotel to take a shower and sleep after we've finished supper. ”

"Me too. ”

Xu Lixue gently picked up the plastic cup of milk tea with her hand, her lips were holding a straw, and the milky white milk tea flowed up the transparent straw, "This milk tea is delicious, sweet and sour." ”

At this point, my stomach was already hungry.

I kept picking up the tender shrimp meat and the long smooth vermicelli with my chopsticks and stuffing them into my mouth, chewing my teeth in my swollen mouth, and swallowing the food in a big gulp.

"You eat slowly, be careful of choking. ”

"I'm afraid you're sleepy. I would like to accompany you back to the Mano Hotel as soon as possible to rest. ”

"I'm not in a hurry for this time," Xu Lixue smiled lightly, "You're so stupid!"

Actually, I care about you too, silly girl!

"I'm full, too. Let's go back to the Mano Hotel. ”

"Hmm. Xu Lixue stood up from the blue plastic stool, "Let's go." ”

I walked up to the food truck owner and told him: I want to pay. He wrote 250 baht on the white paper of a notebook in the blue ink of a ballpoint pen.

At this time, Xu Lixue stretched out a white and tender right hand, "Hand." ”

"What do you mean?" I was confused.

"Your hands. "It turned out that Xu Lixue wanted to take my hand for a walk. The two of us walked hand in hand on the downtown streets of Bangkok under the golden lights......

After I was stunned, I looked at Xu Lixue's flushed face and lowered my forehead shyly. I slowly stretched out my left hand and gently hooked her tail finger with my tail finger to form two interlocking letters – C.

At this time, the two tail fingers of Xu Lixue and I were like two cute little iron hoops, and I felt that the gravity and static electricity of the whole person were concentrated on the contact point, and a warm electric current surged into my heart.

We walked hand in hand on the downtown streets, not too fast or too slow, but taking into account the rhythm of each other's footsteps.

"Look here!" Xu Lixue tugged at my tail finger to get closer to the vendor setting up the stall, "There are a lot of trinkets here." ”

The countertops of the stalls are filled with colorful and dazzling trinkets, such as sterling silver earrings with carved patterns, crystal clear circle jade bracelets, white pearl necklaces, etc., all of which are diverse and dazzling.

Xu Lixue picked up a white heart-shaped sterling silver pendant and tried it on her snow-white neck, "Do I look good on this heart-shaped pendant?"

"Beautiful!" I glanced at the heart-shaped pendant, "you look good in whatever jewelry you wear." ”

"You're serious, flam. ”

"You really look good with this heart pendant around your neck. ”

Xu Lixue picked up the heart-shaped pendant and asked the Thai vendor for the price, "Hello, boss." How much does this heart-shaped pendant cost?"

The Thai vendor held out five hands and indicated 500 baht.

"The price is too expensive. Xu Lixue reluctantly put down the heart-shaped pendant and stretched out four fingers, "Is it okay for this heart-shaped pendant to cost 400 baht?"

The Thai vendor shook his head, "Mak." (No)

Little girls are like that, they are budget-conscious and always bargain when they buy goods. However, this is also very good, and there will be a good way to run a family in the future.

"If you like this heart-shaped pendant, buy it. ”

Xu Lixue glanced at me, "Don't buy it." ”

Xu Lixue and I continued to walk forward, and saw a flower shop, and the flower basket at the door was full of thousands of purple and red flowers, including crimson roses, white lilies, and red tulips.

"What kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful!" Xu Lixue approached the flower basket in the flower shop and exclaimed loudly.

I took a closer look at the flower and remembered that a travel book had introduced it in the past, "This is the national flower of Thailand, the water lily." ”

"Is a water lily a lotus?"

"It also belongs to the lotus family. ”

"It's so beautiful! I love it. Xu Lixue continued to move closer to the flower basket and bent down to gaze at the water lilies.

"Thailand is a country that believes in Buddhism, and Buddhism and lotus flowers are inextricably linked. The flower language of water lilies is to welcome the rising sun and leave the twilight. The petals of the water lily bloom at dusk or at noon and night, and open and close until they wither. This flower is very interesting. ”

"Wow! you know that. ”

"I also read books to learn about water lilies. ”

"It seems that I will also read more books in the future. I'm going to overtake you!"

"Hello boss. How much does this water lily cost?" I stepped forward to ask the proprietress about the price of the water lily, "Please help me pack this water lily." "I made the gesture of tying the ribbon flowers.

Xu Lixue asked softly, "What did you buy it for?"

"I'll give it to you! You can choose a ribbon flower that you like. I turned to leave, "You wait here for me." ”

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go and I'll be back. ”

"Don't go too far. I'm afraid you're lost. I'm a road idiot. ”

I went to the roadside stall again, "Boss, I'll buy this heart-shaped pendant." ”

The Thai vendor held out five fingers, "Kemei Dudaha." (I don't drop the price.) ）

I took off my blue and white canvas bag, took out a black rectangular leather purse from the bag, pulled out cash and handed it to the Thai vendor.

I grabbed this heart-shaped sterling silver pendant with my hand and ran briskly to the flower shop to find Xu Lixue......

"You're back!" Xu Lixue looked at me happily with her chest straightened, "Where did you run just now?"

"I'll send you. I pulled this heart-shaped sterling silver pendant out of my pocket.

"Gao Qidao, this heart-shaped sterling silver pendant is so expensive, you actually bought it. Xu Lixue was happy and a little angry, "Have you bargained with the hawker?"

"I didn't bargain with the vendor because he guessed that I would buy it when I ran back, so he wouldn't lower the price. ”

"Hey, why are you so stupid?"

"I'll help you put on the pendant. I walked behind Xu Lixue.

"Hmm. Xu Lixue smiled, "If it's not good-looking, I'll hit you with a pig's head." ”

"OK!" I put on the pendant interface, "perfect." ”

This heart-shaped sterling silver pendant is worn on Xu Lixue's white neck, which looks particularly delicate and beautiful.

"Perfect you're big! It's not good-looking, it's ugly. Xu Lixue joked with a hippie smile.

"You guy often talk back. If you don't like the pendant, I'll confiscate it. ”

"Don't!" Xu Lixue was afraid that I would really take back the pendant, so she hurriedly put her hands on her waist, "You dare to confiscate this pendant and go back?

"Don't dare. I feigned timidity and pinched my earlobes with both hands.

I took the packaged water lilies from the hands of the flower shop proprietress, "Xu Lixue, send you." ”

"Thank you. The corners of Xu Lixue's mouth curled up slightly to reveal happy joy.

Xu Lixue held a water lily in her left hand, hooked my tail finger with her right hand, shook her arm and said, "This is abroad, no one knows the two of us." If it's in China, do you dare to hook my tail finger and go shopping together?"

"Why don't I dare?"

"Aren't you afraid of running into acquaintances?"

"Don't be afraid. ”

"Why?"

"Because I really like you!" I replied loudly, standing in the middle of the crowd.

"Heh, heh! Now what you are saying is not understood by the Thai people next to you. ”

"You just have to understand. ”
