Yan Licorice sat boredly on the stool in the downtown square, and there were some couples or couples coming and going next to her, she looked at the time on her mobile phone, it was already eight o'clock, and Zhang Changtao's overtime time seemed to be getting longer and longer recently. I don't know how long it will be over on his side, so Yan Licorice decided to walk around the square to see if there are any new gadgets, and move her body by the way.

The red lights are on, and the street next to it is full of traffic. I remember when I first arrived in this city in my freshman year, I was full of novelty and curiosity, and I would always hang out in groups on Saturdays and Sundays, and the city center and other schools were their favorite places to visit.

At that time, I got out of the intense studies of high school, and I suddenly relaxed, and I became aimless and a little crazy, and I would go to the Internet café to play all night almost every week for three months after the military training. On a cold winter night, she, Ruan Jiaojiao, Zhong Ling, and a few other classmates once ran to an Internet café near the square all night. When they came out the next day, everyone was full of oil and lack of energy, and when they met those who came here to shop in beautiful clothes, the two were compared, and Ruan Jiaojiao swore that she would never go to the Internet café all night again.

Later, I really didn't go to an Internet café all night, Ruan Jiaojiao said that she did what she said, Zhong Ling complained that she didn't need to go to the Internet café all night because she bought a computer, and she could stay all night directly in the dormitory. Yan Licorice echoed in time, "It would be better if we didn't watch ghost movies in the middle of the night and scream loudly to disturb our rest." "But no matter what, I finally got out of that all-night life.

Looking at the direction of the Internet café in the distance, which has not been stepped into again, Yi City has changed quite a lot in the past two years, and some snack bars next to it have now changed to dance halls with bright lights, and it seems that there are more people who go to the "package night".

The square is surrounded by merchants and is surrounded by merchants selling clothing, shoes, accessories, jewelry, and food. Looking at the model's clothes in the window at the door of the clothing store, the swallow licorice was not interested in them. Walking around the shops in the square, I suddenly noticed that a large bookstore had opened here.

Swallow licorice walked in, and the bookstore was much larger than expected, with a variety of books arranged in an orderly manner, and small stools and desks for people to read in front of or next to each shelf. The light inside is soft and warm, and it will not hurt the eyes of the reader because it is too dark, nor will it lose the artistic conception of the bookstore because it is too bright. She usually buys some books to read by herself, but they are all romance novels, and she is very self-aware to avoid books that are too nutritious, because they are not very easy to digest. If it weren't for following Zhong Ling, it is estimated that she would not be able to say anything other nutritious except for talking about the fragments in the romance novel.

She came to the handmade knitting class to see if there were any books she liked. She likes to make her own knick-knacks, knitting scarves, hats, gloves and dolls. Zhong Ling and Ruan Jiaojiao used a set of warm equipment in winter that she knitted. Sometimes I will do some simple DIY dressing up on the clothes, and the classmates who live next door know that Zhong is clever, and usually the clothes accidentally scratch a small hole or fall off the button, and the zipper is broken, they will come to her for help. Because of this reason, her popularity is much better than Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhong Ling. But in addition to this reason, it should also be related to her soft temperament, she rarely says anything serious, and she is a good communicator, so everyone will not reject dealing with such people.

There are a lot of hand-knitted books in this bookstore, which is comparable to the city library, she has been reading it for a long time, and when she left, she felt that it seemed a little too much to turn over for so long and not buy one, so she went to the ancient literature class to buy a copy of the Book of Songs. When she walked out of the library, she felt that she was a little perverted, and she had been reading the handicraft class for so long, but she ran to the ancient text and bought a copy of the Book of Songs. She smiled at her behavior, stood at the door and took a photo of the bookstore, ready to go back and recommend Zhong Ling to come over and see if there was a book she liked.

Out of the bookstore, Yan Licorice's eyes were attracted by a bright shop next to her, and she looked up at the name of the store - Yuanlai, which seemed to be newly opened. Just a "fate" word, the swallow licorice fell in love. Through the large glass vitrines outside, the swallow licorice saw the scene inside.

It was supposed to be a coffee shop, and the waiter in it was wearing a gray and white suit, with a personal badge on his chest and refilling the cups of the customers sitting in the shop, and Western-style pastries on the table. Looking at the flow of people in the square, and then looking at the customers and empty tables inside, it seems that the business of this store is not very good. However, she liked the Western-style decoration very much, and she wanted to go in and have a look, but as soon as her feet reached the steps, the mobile phone in her hand began to buzz and vibrate.

When she saw the name on the phone, she immediately turned around and picked up the phone, "You're off work?" As he spoke, he took his phone to his eyes and looked at the time on it, half past nine.

"After work, are you still in the square?" A male voice came from inside the phone.

"Well, it's still there, I'm next to a new bookstore here. Where are you? ”

"I just left the company building, you are waiting for me there, I will go now, I will be there later."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Licorice glanced at the café behind him, and walked to the square to wait for someone.

Zhang Changtao arrived soon, and Yan Licorice saw his trotting pace, walked over quickly, and waved his hand in his direction. After climbing the mountain, the two of them did not meet, they were all phone, text or video contact, seeing him coming, Yan Licorice felt that she actually missed him more than she imagined, she stepped forward and took his arm very affectionately.

"Have you eaten it?"

"I ate some when I went to work, but now I'm almost digested. What about you? ”

"I bought some snacks right next to the school, and I'm pretty much digested now."

"Then let's have some supper, do you want to eat?"

Yan Licorice looked at the coffee shop and pointed with her finger, "Have you been to that shop?" ”

Zhang Changtao looked in the direction she pointed and shook his head, "I haven't been there, do you want to go?" ”

"No, I'm just curious, I think the environment inside is good, but why hasn't anyone passed?" She turned her head to look at Zhang Changtao and asked.

"Don't look at the few customers, it is a high-consumption place, our manager has been there a few times, and it is very good to do business negotiations in it, but every time he takes the reimbursement documents to find financial reimbursement, he will be complained, saying that he and the customer go to negotiate and sign the contract The profits are all contributed to this store." Zhang Changtao looked at the two big words "Yuanlai", and a little envy flashed on his face.

"So expensive?" Swallow licorice couldn't believe it.

"The finances are definitely exaggerated, but it's also true that the price is not low." He looked at "Yuanlai" again, and then grabbed Yan Licorice's shoulders and said, "When I get a promotion and a raise, you can come as many times as you want." ”

Yan Licorice was very happy to hear this, raised her head and looked at Zhang Changtao with a smile, "Okay, then when will you be promoted and raised?" ”

Zhang Changtao listened with a smile on his face, and said with confidence: "Our manager will be transferred back to the headquarters in mid-December or at the end of the month, and the new manager will be directly selected from our branch. I'm doing well, but there's another one that's not bad, I think I'll choose one of the two of us, and our manager will also be interested in recommending me to headquarters. Last year, I missed the opportunity to be promoted because there was a villain behind the report, plus I don't know much about the company's promotion selection, this time I have experience, and the performance is not bad, so the possibility is very large, no accident, after New Year's Day, you can spend as much as you want. ”

"Really?" Yan Licorice was also very happy to hear it, "That's great, is this what you're working overtime for this time?" ”

"Well, it's good after New Year's Day, and I naturally have to show myself well when it's so important. You're going to have to be good! Zhang Changtao patted the top of the licorice on the head.

"I've always been well-behaved, okay?" Swallow licorice rolled her eyes and pouted in retort.

"Okay, obediently, tell me what you want to eat, order whatever you want today."

"There's a hot house on the other side, I started salivating when I first came, let's go eat that." As he spoke, he pulled Zhang Changtao and walked in that direction.

The two of them took two steps, and Zhang Changtao's steps slowed down, and he turned his head to look at the other one in the opposite direction. Yan Licorice looked back and saw that Zhang Changtao couldn't walk, so he pulled him, "What's wrong?" It's late and closes. ”

Although Zhang Changtao hummed, his steps stopped. The licorice saw that he was still and stopped, and seeing that he had been looking in one direction and not moving, he followed his gaze and saw nothing special.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Changtao looked at it for a while, and then said as he walked: "I seem to have seen my colleague go to 'Yuanlai' just now. ”

"Just go."

"That colleague usually buckles the rope, why did he go there?" This colleague he has never liked very much, although the performance is also good, but there are a lot of business trips, usually see people talk about people, see hell talk nonsense, as soon as something happens, he shirks responsibility and slaps the leader the horse, which makes him unaccustomed to it.

"Wrong look, didn't you say that place is quite expensive? So stingy people shouldn't go, right? Yan Licorice thought about the spicy skewers, and pulled Zhang Changtao to speed up his steps.

Zhang Changtao was puzzled, but he didn't think about those irrelevant people and things after work, and the two of them went to forage happily.

After coming out full of wine and food, I saw that the time was almost 11 o'clock, and the bus was long gone, and it seemed that there was only a taxi.

"Go to me, it's not a good time to take a taxi, and it's not safe on the road." Zhang Changtao held the swallow licorice in his arms and buried his head in her neck.

Yan Licorice also hugged Zhang Changtao and shook his head, "Jiaojiao just sent a text message urging me to go back quickly, and I still have morning class tomorrow." ”

"You just tell her that you can't go back, and your school is closed when you go back at this time, how can you get in? Wake up early tomorrow morning, and it's too late to walk from me. Zhang Changtao kissed Yan Licorice on the cheek, and then moved in the direction of her lips.

Yan Licorice looked at the shining street lamps on the side of the road, as well as the cars that drove from time to time, and thought that this was a crowded street, and when Zhang Changtao approached, he only let him touch it slightly and dodged it. She pushed Zhang Changtao's body out, "What about the street?" ”

"What's going on on the street, everyone is not surprised." Zhang Changtao got a little closer, "It's so late, go to me, my roommate has returned to his hometown in the past few days, it's very convenient." ”

Yan Licorice naturally knew what Zhang Changtao meant, although the two of them had been dating for a long time, but Yan Licorice felt that it was not necessary for the two of them to progress to that point, so she shook her head again.

Zhang Changtao looked at it and made persistent efforts, "Licorice, it's just one time, it doesn't matter." ”

"If there is one, there will be two, I want to be a good baby, you can send me back."

This little girlfriend is really good, but it's just too conservative, and now which couple is together has done everything that should not be done, only his girlfriend usually kisses when no one is around.

He was a little discouraged, "Do you really want to go back?" I won't send you! ”

"You still have to go to work tomorrow, you don't have to send it, I can do it myself." Yan Licorice felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it, but she didn't show it.

Zhang Changtao couldn't, so he had to call a taxi for the swallow licorice to let her go back, and he looked at the time and called a taxi back to his residence.

Swallow licorice sat in the car, looking at the lights outside, blowing a cool breeze to press down the unhappiness just now. The driver is an aunt, round, and looks very kind, she is much more relieved, and the back of the taxi has been not far from a car until she gets out of the car safely, and she only leaves after the campus fence, and has been quiet.
