I secretly asked Tinglan to borrow cushion foundation and loose powder, used the foundation to cover up the blemishes on my face, used loose powder to gently pat off the oil on my forehead, nose and bangs, and then took out the lip dye from my bag and painted my lips with a delicate color. I looked left in the mirror, and then I looked again, and wiped off the surface with a napkin, so as not to look too much like the old monster who eats children in the chatter.

Finally, I combed my hair into a ponytail and put on my coat so that he could not see that I had just groomed myself.

In order to prevent being bumped into by other colleagues, I went to a coffee shop about 500 meters away from the company.

From a distance, I saw him standing sideways in front of the coffee shop, wearing a loose gray sweater, a pair of black suit pants and brown lace-up shoes, and a black rectangular cowhide backpack. I looked him up and down, thinking to myself, he never carried such a big bag on weekdays, it seems that the matter of sending the information is true, and he didn't lie to me.

I walked towards him step by step, and he walked towards me step by step. In the midst of the chaos of the world, in the vast sea of people, the two of us are getting closer and closer, just like in the middle of the night, the fishing boat on a long voyage is approaching in the direction of the lighthouse. The sea was calm, and the boat was rocking and resting on my quiet heart.

Speaking of which, I have a bottle of water in the office to plant Qingsi grass, and some colleagues say that I should pour water into the mouth of the bottle to keep it hydrated, and some colleagues say that only by keeping half of the water can the grass take deep roots. I suddenly understood that no matter how I planted, I would be instructed by my colleagues, and no matter how good it was planted or how it was planted, it was inevitable that I would have a tongue. This is true for planting, and the same is true for love.

I don't want to be an urban beauty who ups and downs in love, I want to be like a girl in my first love, bouncing through the last few steps, and coming to him with great expectations.

"How is it, is it hard to work today?"

"No hard work, no hard work. I shook my head repeatedly, "What about you, what did you do today?"

"I went to deliver the materials to my mentor, who was going on a business trip in the afternoon to catch a train. ”

The brakes were facing me, and the two hands were cramped in the seams of the trousers, sometimes backwards, sometimes forward, and sometimes back into the trouser pockets, forming a strong contrast with the calm and free words. I snickered, and it dawned on me that I wasn't playing with my fingers around the ends of my hair. Little plum, don't laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps.

"That's fine, there shouldn't be anything else bothering me for the next two days, and I can go to the library to write my paper with peace of mind. ”

"Light Bubble Library...... Aren't you going to exercise at night?" the two of us stood in front of the coffee shop, like two reeds stuck in the water, straight.

I go to the playground every day for a five-kilometer run, and then go back to the dormitory to feed the cats. ”

"Ahh "I'm about to pat my chest and call him a brother......

Yes...... The flame of this love is faint and crumbling. I quickly brushed my hair and prepared to speak softly.

Brake scratched his head and pointed to the café, "Shall we go in and talk?"

"No, no, no," I said, taking his hand in the opposite direction of the company, and I said, "I'll take you to something delicious." "I can't be honest, I'm afraid we'll be discovered by our colleagues.

He let me take his hand and didn't make a sound.

"You don't want to ask what's delicious?"

"What's delicious?" he said obediently.

He was dragged by me and walked to the depths of the small alley of Shikumen, like a courtesan who was pulled by his mother Sang to pick up customers, timid, strange and cute.

Shikumen is a style that cannot be wiped out by time. Shikumen buildings are mostly two-storey, and unlike the square, sweeping courtyard houses in the capital, it is a small society that is scattered and orderly. The semi-European-style single-family building that the family lived in was divided into small worlds of different sizes by the budget-conscious charter wife. The most exaggerated script is that in a small two-story building, there are 72 tenants, and even in the triangular area of the staircase, there lives a small cobbler who repairs shoes, not to mention the small rooms built out of partitions on the sundeck. Bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, everything, just like the mobile home on the construction site now, although the sparrow is small, it is all in all directions.

In the alley, only the night is a little quieter, but in fact, if you prick up your ears and listen, you can still distinguish the cry of children, the quarrel of husband and wife, and the sound of radio announcements. In the morning, before dawn, it was lively. As the dung truck pushed into the alley, all kinds of residents, large and small, turned their toilets into the car with sleepy eyes, and from time to time they could hear the scolding and pushing and shoving caused by who had sprinkled ten thousand taels of gold.

In a few moments, the alley will be filled with the aroma of breakfast, and the real day has just begun.

Grandma Hu is still sticking to the old man who makes snacks in the alley, a pot, a liquefied gas tank, plus other bottles and cans, is all her family and a stall, her wife started to set up a stall from six o'clock in the morning, until after dusk, let Grandma take over, the two are nearly seventy years old, still loving and loving each other, supporting each other.

I took out my wallet, picked out a few steel hammers, and threw them into Grandma's plastic basket, and Grandma took out two dough blanks from the stainless steel dinner plate and gently put them down in the oil pan. The white dough is gradually fried to a golden brown, and the aroma of fried onions fills the air.

In less than five minutes, we had two more golden and crispy scallion pancakes in our hands. The scallion pancake shell is fried crispy, and when you bite into it, the lard is wrapped in the green onion fragrance and enters the mouth together. The outer skin is crispy, the inner skin is soft, and the vegetable core is juicy.

I had only eaten half of it, and the brakes had already eaten one by two, and he looked at me and asked, "Are you thirsty?"

I held the scallion pancake in both hands, and said this, my cheeks were bulging, like a little hamster stuffed with melon seeds and peanuts, and there was something in my mouth that was inconvenient to speak, so I simply nodded fiercely.

Brake took out a five-yuan bill from his pocket and gave it to Grandma Hu, asking for two bottles of soy milk, Grandma was busy with the stuffing, and simply asked Brake to go to the basket to find change.

Brake took out two bottles of soy milk from the plastic compartment, opened the cap with a screwdriver hanging from the cotton thread, inserted two straws, and handed me one of the bottles.

"I'll ask you a few questions, and you'll have to answer me honestly. "I took a sip of soy milk, a glass bottle and a soft straw, and I still felt like a child.

"Knowing everything is endless. He bought a second scallion pancake and was staring half-heartedly at Grandma's pancakes.

"If you really like me for so long, why did you choose to confess to me at the party?"

"Didn't you say that I was the brake," he smiled, "and I'm glad that the earth is round, and I'm finally back in front of you." I like to see you take off your makeup and wash your hands and make soup for me, which makes me feel that I am worth it. ”

Only then did I realize that we were just the same insecure children, who were very good, but were always afraid that they would not deserve the sincerity of others.

Looking at the fading sunlight in the distance, I cast my eyes far away, we are all the same, what we need is the opposite sex who likes each other, and what we need is a soul who can communicate with each other and understand each other. No matter where this relationship goes, when we are together now, we have completed each other's redemption - in the eyes of others, we can better reflect our own value.

"Do you really like me?" I paused, "and you hesitated. ”

"I didn't hesitate. The brake raised his hands in surrender aggrievedly, "If a man doesn't like that woman, why waste time pursuing?"

"You still haven't said you like me or not. "I finished the bottle of soy milk, turned the bottle, aimed it at the brakes, and held it like a mallet.

"I like it, I like you. Grandma was on the side, squinting at us, and I smiled awkwardly and pulled the brakes in my direction.

"Okay, you'll pass the test today. I snorted arrogantly.

"Do girls keep asking the question of whether you like me, whether you love me or not?"

"Of course. "I smiled sadly at him, feeling that changing a knife in my hand would be more suitable for my current image," the girl will keep asking and asking, until she doesn't love you or you don't love her anymore. ”

"Oh. Brake munched thoughtfully.

I secretly looked at his expression, saw that he was a little lost, and said, "If you find it annoying, then I'll just ask again." ”

He raised his head, "Okay, this time the advance will be given to you, and you will ask when you save it." ”

"When?" I had some yellow foam floating through my head.

Brake didn't answer my question, but shifted his attention and said, "You asked me a question, then I have to give you a question back." ”

"Why? ”

"Come and don't be rude. ”

"That's why you're insulting me. ”

We looked at each other and smiled, and instantly understood the old stalk in this film and television drama.

"Say it. "That's my generosity.

"Why is your nickname Little Plum?" he finished eating the second scallion pancake and glanced at Grandma's stall with unfinished eyes, "The title of my honest words was originally written here." It's a pity that you left early and didn't get drawn. ”

"You want to know?" I leaned over him, smirking.

"Wondering. ”

I nodded, and said, "Do you know Leonardo DiCaprio?"

"Yes, my cat's name is Benedict Cumberbatch. "I made up the brakes and called the cat over in the dormitory, and I couldn't help but laugh, but that's not the point of the topic.

"He wasn't very thin when he was young," I sneered, "I was also very thin when I was a child, and it wasn't until high school that I became fat like a balloon, so I was called Little Plum." ”

"I think you're very healthy, very cute, and make people think, you love life very much, and you live with fireworks. I like you, the way you talk, the way you act, the way you eat, and the way you chubby. ”

I approached him with a smile on my face, and he approached me expectantly......

I flicked my index finger and thumb his nose, and he looked up at the sky—

"I'll give you another chance?"

"I like the way you look skinny......"

"That's pretty much it. I kissed him on the chin, got rid of the drunken mantra that asked Babao, took his hand, and walked to the subway station.
