Chapter 4

The three of them looked for the source of the sound, and the person who came was a young man who looked to be in his mid-30s, but unlike his appearance, he gave the impression that he was already in his forties or fifties. Like his deep and magnetic voice, his whole person also gives people a mature and steady atmosphere.

After Zhong Ling saw the visitor, he desperately searched in his mind for the words he knew to describe men, as if most of the words could have something to do with him, but they were not very suitable for this person, too contradictory, too complicated, so that she who boasted of reading poetry and books also had a little frustration.

Yan Licorice's eyes were blurry for a moment, and when she looked at him again after blinking, she only felt that the skin at the corners of her eyes was a little uncomfortable, and she raised her hand to touch the skin, only to realize that it was the skin near the tear mole that made her uncomfortable.

When the visitor saw Yan Licorice's actions, there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, which made Yan Licorice have an inexplicable panic in his heart, as if all his own was exposed in the eyes of the other party.

The vendor was also shocked when he saw the visitor, but he returned to normal in a moment, and when he heard him say that he wanted to buy two, he immediately looked at him with a smile, "Handsome guy, do you want two?" ”

"Yes, it should be engraved with the words 'fate and three lives'." He withdrew his gaze from the licorice and looked back at the vendor.

When the vendor heard the answer, he squatted down to find another "fate and three lives", and handed the two over after a while, "Handsome guy, I see that you are destined to give you a discount, two 5 yuan." ”

The man had a faint smile on his face, looked at the vendor and said seriously, "No need, this price is just right." As he spoke, he handed the money out.

The peddler accepted the money and thanked him with a smile, but he thought in his heart that if this man bought it for himself, he must be an immature person, and he was ruined. If it's for a little girlfriend, it must be a playboy, and it's also a golden jade. But none of this had anything to do with him, and he turned his head and continued to smile and ask if he wanted to buy the licorice.

After the peddler spoke, he saw that the man had just handed a bean in his hand to the swallow licorice, "Miss, please forgive me for taking the liberty of sending this to you if you don't mind." ”

This article is crepe, the hawker immediately felt that his hairs stood up, it seemed that he was a playboy who dragged the text, but it was strange enough to call a little girl "Miss", and he was looking forward to the next plot.

Yan Licorice and Zhong Ling were also taken aback. The man who just thought that he spent six yuan to buy two beans didn't look like Zhong Ling, who felt calm at first glance, but now seeing his actions and what he said has slightly whitewashed his bad impression of him just now. Zhong Ling comes from a scholarly family, and his grandfather is an old-school scholar, although he has been influenced by the culture of the new era, he still likes classical culture and ancient etiquette in his bones. Zhong Ling was naturally affected a little, and the title of "Miss" gradually became a derogatory term with the progress of the times, but at this time she didn't think it was a derogatory term.

Yan Licorice raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, herself in the position of his shoulder, she, then he should be about 180-, wearing a beige short-sleeved T-shirt, beige sports pants and white hiking boots. Looking at the arm of his right hand with a long-sleeved jacket hanging from it, it seems that he often comes here to climb the mountain, so he knows the weather here. The most surprising thing about Yan Licorice is that there is no smell of sweat on his body, after climbing such a high mountain, she has the smell of sweat on her body, but she does not smell it on his body, it seems to have a faint smell of vanilla. But she immediately vetoed it, there should be no one on the climber, maybe it should be the smell of some flowers and plants on the mountain.

She felt a little awkward to hear the other person's name, but she didn't feel belittled or disrespected. He had a gentle face, smiling at the licorice, the corners of his mouth were not very curved, but his eyes seemed to be full of smiles. This smile, this gentle face, gave the licorice a kind of excitement that he was now in ecstasy, which made her a little puzzled.

Zhong Ling, who was next to her, pulled the licorice and let her come back to her senses from her thoughts. She was a little embarrassed and waved her hand, "Thank you, no need, I can't let you break the bank, I can buy it myself." ”

The other party's hand did not retract, but stretched forward again, "Meeting is fate, and it's just a 'acacia bean', there is no cost, I like this bean myself, and Miss Kan also likes it, and I am a fellow believer." You're welcome, Miss. ”

In the past, if you heard such words, you must have felt that the other party was an uneducated person who "did" death, but this time I didn't feel this way, but I felt uncomfortable when I heard it. She waved her hand again: "I really don't need it, I can buy it myself." As he spoke, he opened his backpack and said, "Why don't I give you money." ”

"Miss is wrong, this bean can only be sent, not bought." The man said slowly.

Swallow licorice stopped what she was doing, she suddenly understood, smiled and accepted it. I wanted to thank the other party, but when I thought of the other party's words, I searched my intestines and scraped my stomach for a long time, and finally simply said thank you.

The other party saw her accept it and smiled and said that she was not welcome. The hawker lamented that today's young people are really full of tricks to catch beautiful cuties, and this person used the way of the ancients to talk to each other. When the peddler was about to see how the young man would continue to go deeper, he saw that the young man just left.

Yan Licorice saw him nod politely and said goodbye to them, then put the acacia bean engraved with "Destiny and Three Lives" in his hand, gently rubbed it a few times, and then put it away.

Ruan Jiaojiao played two projects with the boy and felt that it was boring, so she turned back to Yan Licorice and Zhong Ling, and stood not far away and saw a superb man who seemed to be talking. She had wanted to step forward and then stopped where she was, just looking in that direction and waiting for the man to leave before stepping forward.

"Did you ask for a phone?" She asked, walking over to them and taking their arms.

"See?"

"As soon as he walked into you, I saw it."

"Then why don't you come?" Zhong Ling looked at Ruan Jiaojiao and asked.

Ruan Jiaojiao patted her cheek lightly, as if intentionally and unintentionally, and said: "I'm afraid that as soon as I appear, your peach blossoms will become mine." ”

Yan Licorice replied lightly, "You don't have the ability to charm all men at the moment." ”

Zhong Ling said cowardly unceremoniously.

Ruan Jiaojiao listened and continued to talk about the topic she had just said, but the corners of her mouth curved a beautiful arc because of these two simple words.

"Did I ask for your phone number?"

"No, I didn't ask for a name."

"I gave you a bean and it's gone?" Ruan Jiaojiao was a little unconvinced.

"The other party just felt that he had met someone who liked this bean, and he happened to want to buy it, so he bought it by the way." Yan Licorice felt a little floating when she said this, "It's not what you think, besides, I'm a person with a partner." ”

"What's wrong with having a subject, you can't leave other men's phone numbers if you have a subject?" Ruan Jiaojiao didn't care, and Zhang Changtao didn't know anything else compared to that person, but she could feel that the two of them were not of the same grade when she stood far away from that person. "You guys are so stupid, the other party gave you a bean, out of politeness, you have to ask for your name, and then leave a phone number, and make an appointment to have a meal later."

Saying that, she sighed again, feeling sorry for her two friends who had no eyes and brains, "I can see from such a distance that he is a superb man, you two are so uncherished, tyrannical things!" ”

The word "best" touched Zhong Ling, and when he first saw the other party, he searched for words to describe him in his mind, and now it seems that it is more appropriate to use this word, and after thinking about it, she added another "demon".

Yan Licorice heard their description and didn't speak, but when she thought of the appearance of the person just now, she felt that these two words could not be used on him, and it was not worthy of him at all, and she felt that his temperament was crooked. It should be "warm", "modest", "safe", he may have other adjectives to describe, but not "superb" and "demonic", and in Yan Licorice's opinion, these three words are enough for him, and she doesn't care too much if "superb", "demonic" or other adjectives are not.

"Why don't you say that?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked her.

"There's nothing to say, haven't you summed it up?"

"But I don't think you're very happy with what we've summarized." The appearance of silence and the sudden decrease in aura are easy to spot.

She didn't admit that she was dissatisfied, or was she unhappy because a good sister used two words that she didn't agree with for a man she had just met? No, by no means!!

"It's obvious that you're thinking too much, about a man you've just met? I'm just wondering if I should go back and buy another one for Changtao. ”

Ruan Jiaojiao and Zhong Ling naturally didn't believe what she said, but when they heard that she wanted to buy one for Zhang Changtao, they immediately pulled her to join the army. Spending three dollars on a bean that they don't know what to use is a waste for them.

There is a saying: it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down.

The three of them felt that this sentence was not appropriate at all at this time, and it should be changed to that it was difficult to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. When I go up the mountain, my feet are weak, and when I go down, my feet tremble.

When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Zhong Ling was extremely resentful, "Ruan Jiaojiao, there are countless ways in the world to help you understand that senior accurately and directly, but what about you?" But you have not forsaken the best way to torture yourself, and you have drawn us who are bent on perfecting you, and let us suffer this torture with you, because of the indelible damage done to our hearts and * by this wrong decision, and in view of this, you must compensate us financially and materially when you return. ”

"Don't say it so strictly, don't you know that climbing a mountain is the most challenging thing for men? And don't you think it's too low-level for you to describe the pure friendship between us in terms of economy and *? Licorice, don't you say? ”

"I think Zhong Ling is right, you have to invite us to a good meal when you go back, and give each of us a massage for an hour, this is the only thing, otherwise we won't be finished." Yan Licorice is now relying on the inertia of going down, and her legs really don't have much strength, if she doesn't support Zhong Ling and Ruan Jiaojiao, she will probably fall.

Ruan Jiaojiao also wanted to defend herself or canvass for votes, but when she saw the figure at the foot of the mountain, she excitedly changed the topic.

"Do you think that person just gave you beans?"

Yan Licorice and Zhong Ling looked in that direction and found that it was really true, Ruan Jiaojiao continued: "It can't really be that I really like you waiting for you here now, right?" ”

"Can you stop kidding, maybe there's something wrong with him?"

"Then let's go down and have a look, I think so." Ruan Jiaojiao was convinced of her thoughts, and Yan Licorice had a little expectation in her heart because of her affirmative tone.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he still didn't leave, Ruan Jiaojiao pinched Yan Licorice's arm excitedly, as if to say "look and see, I'm waiting for you." But as soon as she finished pinching her arm, she saw a man about his age walk by, and the two of them got into a car next to them.

Yan Licorice looked a little lost, and said in his mouth: "Look, just say that it is not waiting for us, and a person is there talking to himself." ”

After speaking, he looked in the direction of the car, and it happened that the people in the car also looked at the licorice, and the eyes of the two met in the air. Without any hesitation or surprise, the man nodded politely in her direction and drove away.

"Alas! Although he wasn't waiting for you, he still saw you and nodded to you when he left, why didn't he nod to me and Zhong Ling? ”

Yan Licorice ignored her, but the loss in her heart just now was a little comforted.
