Chapter Forty-Eight: I Like You
Looking at Zhou Peng, who looked helpless because of nervousness on the other side, Zhixia's mother tilted her head and said absentmindedly: "Are you a virgin?"
Zhou Peng blushed and squeaked, "Yes...... Yes!"
"Oh, then I don't like virgins. After speaking, he turned around and walked into the chess and card room, and told her friends about a little virgin who wanted to chase her.
"Giggles, you're so bad, why are you laughing at people for being virgins. β
"The look on his face must be wonderful......"
"Hahaha......"
Listening to the hilarious laughter coming from inside, Zhou Peng was so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
The ridiculous laughter made Zhou Peng have the idea of giving up, and kept saying that he liked people, but until now Zhou Peng didn't even know what the other party's name was, but this idea of giving up was left behind by him early the next morning, it was Sunday, and Zhou Peng, who didn't go to work, came to the grocery store to help Xiao Lori look at the store, although Zhixia's mother always treated him coldly, and used all kinds of mocking thorns to pick him, such as: "I don't like men without scum." β
"I don't like men who are no more than 1.8 meters tall. β
Yunyun.
Because of the persistence and maintenance of Zhixia's mother, she was once kicked out of the house by her mother, and Zhou Peng, who had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, slept on the street for the first time, and it was a real street sleeper. Holding the only thin autumn coat and shivering under the overpass, he wanted to cry for the first time in adulthood, but he couldn't make any sound as if he was stuck in the owner's neck by something.
When I opened my eyes the next day, I saw a small face carved in pink, and the little Lori Li Zhixia looked at him with big eyes flickering, "Zhixia, why are you here?"
"I should ask you that, uncle, why are you here?"
Zhou Peng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Uncle came to see the sunrise?"
Little Lori covered her mouth and smiled, "My mouth has turned into pig liver color when I see the sunrise, you won't sleep here all night last night, right?"
Little Lori Li Zhixia is still demonic, and she can't be looked at by ordinary children at all.
This little Lori, who is less than five years old, actually said everything Zhou Peng did.
Zhou Peng knows that she has to talk to this little Lori like an adult, and her words and deeds are really an adult.
"Zhixia is good, don't tell your mother if it's okay, I'll come to help you look at the store when I have time in the future, okay?"
"Really?"
"Well, really!"
Little Lori danced as if the conspiracy had succeeded, "yes, I know that Uncle Zhou is the last, go and help me look after the store, my mother is drunk again, she won't wake up until noon, I still have to go to kindergarten, hey, those little kids are so naΓ―ve!" When she said this, she forgot that she was also a little kid.
Little Lori took a bite on Zhou Peng's face and jumped away, Zhou Peng could see that this little thing was here to pit himself, but how could I have a kind of joy in my heart?
Zhou Peng came to the grocery store in fright, he knew the price and location of every item of goods here, he decided, no matter what the woman said, he would not leave, a scoundrel would be a scoundrel.
When it was almost ten o'clock, Zhou Peng became more and more nervous, nervous and didn't know how to humiliate himself after the woman came out, but he was a little looking forward to seeing her, just take a look, and in this nervous look of expectation and fear of seeing, he counted five cents more for the aunt who bought soy sauce, and Zhou Peng, who reacted, quickly took out the only twenty yuan from his pocket and found himself nineteen yuan and five cents in the cash register.
Zhixia's mother looked at him coldly, she didn't mock him or provoke him for the first time, she was just cold, like a stranger.
Zhou Peng was trembling by her cold eyes, but because of his weak heart, he quickly moved his gaze elsewhere, fortunately, Zhixia's mother didn't stare at him very much, and ignored him directly.
Without Zhixia's mother's cold eyes and ridicule, Zhou Peng should be happy, but he is even more confused, ignoring it is more uncomfortable for him than ridicule, because she doesn't even bother to mock, just ignore it!
Zhou Peng was in the depression of being afraid of her ridicule and even more afraid of her ignorance to eleven o'clock at noon, this time of every Monday is the time for the grocery store to buy, Zhixia's mother skillfully followed up the goods dealer to bargain, holding a lady's cigarette and holding her waist is more domineering than the charter woman in the movie, with her beautiful face and unique temperament not only has no impact at all, but adds a bit of heroism.
In this bargaining battle, Zhixia's mother had the upper hand, and the purchaser had an expression of "I'm afraid of you", looking at the scarf around the grocery store Zhou Peng nodded and said: "Yo, boss, congratulations on finally finding Ruyi Langjun, don't say it, look at the two of you are quite a good match." β
Zhou Peng almost jumped on the ceiling when he heard this casual misunderstanding, but Zhixia's mother said indifferently: "No, it's just a part-time job." β
The purchaser looked at Zhou Peng suspiciously, "How much money does the boss lady give you?" I'll give you double you, you can do it with me." β
Zhou Peng subconsciously looked at Zhixia's mother, and without waiting for him to speak, Zhixia's mother took the lead and said to the buyer: "I'll give you double again, leave the grocery store and follow him." β
This aroused Zhou Peng's rebellious psychology, and he said with a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water: "I don't want it, I will rely on it here for the rest of my life." β
The buyer nodded ambiguously like Zhou Peng, secretly gave him a thumbs up, sat on his micro-face that was about to fall apart, and walked away in the smoke.
Zhixia's mother continued to ignore it, the smell of vegetables wafting from the kitchen hooked Zhou Peng, who hadn't eaten since last night, swallowed saliva again and again, and little Lori jumped back to the grocery store with a small schoolbag on her back and said hello to Zhou Peng.
There was no Zhou Peng's share during lunch, and several times Xiao Lori brought the rice to Zhou Peng's side and was scolded back by her mother, until her mother went out to play mahjong before secretly serving a bowl of rice to Zhou Peng, who knew that Zhixia's mother turned back again, and Zhou Peng was so scared that she poured the rice straight into her nose.
Zhixia's mother continued to ignore him.
Zhou Peng lasted for three months in this long and extremely depressing road of chasing his sister, if it weren't for Xiao Loli secretly serving him food every day, he might have starved to death, and the turning point happened on Friday three months later.
Li Mu and Qingxia suddenly appeared in the grocery store, about a week ago, Li Mu felt a huge spiritual power fluctuation here, once it was confirmed that the huge spiritual power fluctuation was sent from this inconspicuous grocery store, but when Li Mu and Qingxia arrived, the spiritual power disappeared, there was only an ordinary community people's policeman and a short-haired woman with a lot of personality in the grocery store, and Li Mu had a particularly familiar feeling when he saw the woman, he was sure that the woman must have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember itγ
Zhou Peng looked at these two strange men and women, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was so beautiful that she didn't look like the world, they stood outside the grocery store and looked at it suspiciously, half an hour has passed since they came, didn't these two people come here to step on something to prepare for robbery?
Zhou Peng walked out of the grocery store and asked politely, "Both, do you have any needs?" I see that you have been standing for half an hour. β
Li Mu then glanced back at the shy man who looked a little handsome, "Oh, community police, if I guessed correctly, you are pursuing the proprietress of this grocery store, right?"
Peng, who was told the central matter, blushed, "How do you know...... What's your relationship with her?"
Li Mu patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Call the boss lady out, we have something to ask her." β
Zhou Peng became vigilant, what these two people said was: We have something to ask her! If it is a normal acquaintance, he will never use this tone, unless he is a policeman or a debt collector!
"Who the hell are you?"
As he spoke, Zhou Peng's hand had already reached into his trouser pocket, ready to call at any time.
Zhixia's mother walked out quietly, not surprised by Li Mu's arrival, and said in a very familiar tone: "Li Muxia, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, "You know me?"
"Li Daxia is famous all over the world, no one knows it, and no one knows it. He turned around and glanced at Qingxia again, and said without hiding the jealousy in his heart: "Presumably this is Jing Qingxia Jing Zhangjiao, it is really shocking, to be honest, I am very jealous of you!"
Qingxia, who has been in the world for so long, has also learned some basic modern polite expressions, "Thank you, you are also beautiful." β
Li Mu thought that the two would fight, but fortunately they just said two special greetings and chose to ignore each other.
This woman's title to herself is full of martial arts meaning: hero!
Li Muzi laughed at himself, "That's all in the past, I'm working in the Special Cases Bureau now, and I want to know about the situation with you." β
Zhixia's mother didn't continue on a topic, and said lightly: "Let's go, let's talk about it." β
"This kid is good, don't miss it. β
Zhou Pengle, who was stunned and listened to them say some strange things, was happy, but he didn't expect this strange man to speak for himself when they met for the first time, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zhixia's mother, "I know, but when did your special case bureau start pulling people in people?"
"Hehe, whatever you want, you can do it yourself. β
Entering the room inside the grocery store, Zhixia's mother hugged her arms and said, "Say, what can I help you?"
"I sensed a huge spiritual power fluctuation here, and the location is in your grocery store. β
Zhixia's mother became interested, "Oh? Are you sure?"
After speaking, she seemed to remember something, and looked at Li Mu playfully, "Since you have sensed it, then what else are you asking me to do?"
