What happened next seemed to be going very well, as if it had been rehearsed in advance.

At the end of the movie, after I let go of Su Li's arm, I took her hand by the way, and then came out of the theater and never let go. When crossing the street, I took her in my arms and protected her to the safety of the lane, and she did not resist anything, naturally, as if we were a couple who can be seen everywhere on the street, familiar and tacit, pulling and laughing, that is, close and twisting.

I played like this until dark, and then I sent Su Li home.

In the taxi, I kissed her, but what I thought to myself was: It's so late, even if there is really an ambush at her house, she won't wait for a day to still hold on, and now that it's over, it should be safe.

But when I didn't expect it, when I arrived downstairs at her house, she didn't mean to invite me upstairs for a cup of tea, but just looked at me and smiled, laughing just right, which made people feel a sense of distance.

This is too far from her active performance during the day! Is it shyness? I can't figure out what this woman is thinking...... I wanted to take the initiative myself, but to be honest, I was a little embarrassed!

As the saying goes: if you have a thick face, you can eat enough, and if your face is thin, you can't eat. I should be the kind of thin-skinned guy, except in front of Zhou Ziqiang, of course. I don't know what the cheek is when I'm with that guy with Hadron.

Su Li stood at the entrance of the building, looking at me blankly, as if waiting for something, but I hummed and chirped for a long time, and I didn't dare to say anything like I wanted to go upstairs to drink saliva and take a breath and rest, and I didn't have the courage to kiss her secretly in the taxi before, and I thought about it for a long time, and it was best to hold back a sentence: "That, you have a good rest, the weekend is when your store is busy, don't run away tomorrow like today, that, boss, have a sense of responsibility." ”

Su Li was speechless, and finally laughed out loud and waved her hand at me: "Breath!" Forget it, see you tomorrow. ”

"Uh...... Tomorrow? I had some differences, and then I was relieved: "Being a boss is really free, do whatever you want, and no one has deducted your salary yet." ”

In this way, we began to meet every day, have dinner and chat together, of course, after the chat, I would send her home very gentlemanly, and only leave after watching the lights on her balcony downstairs.

It's just that she doesn't seem to talk much about her own private life, more about the customers in the store: who has been eye-to-eye with whom for half a month and has not made progress, or who secretly asked her sister to be chased to the store by her daughter-in-law, or who is always complaining that the work is too tiring and the salary is too low, who has been staying alone in the corner, only ordering black coffee and so on.

In short, everything she talked about was what she heard or saw in the store, there were many customers coming and going every day, new, old, not new or old, everyone had a story, and Su Li's biggest hobby in the store was to observe them. That's why she has so many stories to tell now, and she can't tell them all.

And I, for herself, became more and more curious.

Zhou Ziqiang was very dissatisfied with me coming home so late every day, and after protesting a few times to no avail, he ignored me and continued to start his chaotic life in the midst of thousands of flowers and every piece of his body.

The place is only open after dark.

People of all religions and nine streams have everything, and the people who were originally clear and clear in black and white during the day, at this time, in this kind of place, will mix together, forming a gray group, they are accompanied by rough metal music and alcohol-anesthetized nerves, comforting each other, temporarily filling the bottomless loneliness.

I've always admired Hadron for being able to hang out in that kind of place for so long without having an accident, of course, not counting the women or men who went to his door.

Luckily, he never brought those indiscriminate people to my house, so I never had to worry about any trouble getting to me, and of course, he never took the initiative to ask me to help him deal with those things. However, he didn't seem to bring any strangers home after a break recently.

What puzzles me is that after Zhou Ziqiang affirmed that I had no depression and suicidal tendencies after falling out of love, he had no intention of moving back, but continued to live in my house, and every time he came back drunk, he would force me to report to him about the day, especially the progress with Su Li, and even sometimes I had fallen asleep, and he would not let me go.

Tonight, it has been the tenth day since my first official date with Su Li, and because of a small celebration in the evening, I drank a little too much, and when I went home, it was already the second half of the night.

But when I tiptoed into the living room, I was startled, through the faint moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window, I could faintly see that on the sofa in the center of the living room, a person sat upright, silently.

"Who!" I yelled, and then turned on the light in the living room, only then did I see that it was Zhou Ziqiang, this guy, who hadn't slept at this time.

"You, you, why are you sitting here?" I calmed down my little heart that was beating "thump", and complained a little: "I was almost scared to death by you, why don't you sleep so late, and don't light the lamp, this black light is blind, what kind of cult exercises do you practice?" ”

Zhou Ziqiang looked at me lazily, let out a big sigh, and then pointed to the table, where a glass of milk was already cold: "Go and drink it yourself." ”

"You didn't go out tonight?" I was very different, looking at the milk on the table: "You can't be waiting for me, right?" How can you look like a little daughter-in-law who has been left out in the cold? ”

Zhou Ziqiang squinted at me: "I was afraid that you would be sold by Su Li's woman, and I thought you wouldn't come back tonight." ”

"I'm a serious person." I snorted, then drank milk, took a shower, and prepared to go back to my bedroom to sleep.

But when I just lay down and turned off the bedroom light urgently, Zhou Ziqiang rushed into my room again, with the smell of alcohol, and then lifted my quilt, and if he didn't have to chat with me, he forced me to burrow into my bed.

At this time, I realized that the strong smell of wine in the living room was not brought in when I entered the door, but by Zhou Ziqiang, how much wine did he drink!

"You're going to the bar again at night?" I asked him.

Qiangzi shook his head: "No, I drank some at home." ”

I sighed: "If you want to drink at home in the future, let me tell you, I will accompany you at home, how boring it is to drink alone." ”

"But you're too busy." Zhou Ziqiang looked sad.

Me: "......"
