CHAPTER XLIII
Summer and I each held an umbrella and wandered around the old street. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From the street to the end of the street, it is basically a place to sell food, freshly made, or has been packed, anyway, this street is from the beginning to the end, it is a street that only belongs to foodies.
Mille-feuille, bean halva, oil zanzi, jasmine jelly...... I walked like this, eating all the way, and after a trip, my stomach was already bulging.
As for summer, at first, she was very surprised when she saw my appetite. But it didn't take long for her expression to become much more natural, and her tightly knit eyebrows were stretched, and she followed me with a smile.
When we had our fill, we found a café and sat down.
I found a window seat with Summer and sat opposite each other. The whole atmosphere was not bad, at least this girl had a smile on her face.
I looked at the summer in front of me, and remembered the advice that the white-haired old man had given me in the morning, although so far, I haven't come up with any tactful way to ask about summer, but seeing that she is in a good mood at the moment, I followed the heat of my brain, and planned to ask directly.
"There's something I want to ask you?"
"What's the matter, you ask!" The tone of summer is very pleasant.
I prepared the words in my head, and then slowly spoke, "Have you been thinking about anything lately?" ”
"Huh?" Summer looked at me suspiciously, "Why do you ask?" ”
"I've recently noticed that you're always in a daze when you're working, so I think you might have something on your mind."
"Really? Am I in a daze? Sorry, I didn't notice. ”
"You really didn't notice it yourself?"
"Nope!"
Summer answered me decisively, but her eyes wandered, as if she was avoiding my gaze, which made me realize that she was lying.
Think about it, too, how can summer not be noticed? In general, it is normal to not notice once or twice; But like her, it happens almost every day, more than once a day, how can she not feel it?
I continued to ask tentatively, "Is there anything I've been bothering you about lately?" ”
"No, you've been doing well lately, decent, and haven't caused me any inconvenience!"
"And what about life? What's upset? ”
"Are you checking your account?"
"No, I'm just asking."
"Just ask?"
"Yes, is it wrong for a boss to care about his employees?"
"Huh!" Summer sneered and turned her gaze out the window.
The atmosphere began to stiffen a bit, and I realized that this topic could not continue, otherwise, with the current personality of Summer, it would be possible to turn against me. I don't want her to greet me with the hot yuzu tea in her hand!
"Let's talk about something else!"
Summer didn't look at me, just continued to stare out the window, and nodded.
"Why are you working as an assistant?"
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Didn't you?"
"Is there one?"
In just two or three sentences, I and Summer inexplicably got into each other's bars. To be honest, Summer at this time is like a hedgehog covered in thorns, and no matter what I say, she can push me back with her thorny words.
I had no choice but to sigh and say resentfully: "You are really, we just chatted for a while, and we actually made a private meeting with the enemy." ”
"I'm sorry, I just don't want to speak, let me be alone for a while!" As she spoke, Summer was still looking out the window and didn't look back at me.
And so, for some time after that, neither of them spoke again, and sat in silence with each other in the café.
At this time, in the eyes of outsiders, the two of us are more like a couple in the Cold War, or strangers who meet for the first time.
"Is it okay to ask you a question?" Summer was the first to speak, breaking the long-standing silence.
"Okay, you ask! I will definitely know everything, answer you endlessly, and let you know what it means to chat! ”
"Huh!" Summer smiled awkwardly.
At this moment, her eyes were still looking out the window, and she said, "Do you think there will be two people in this world who are completely similar?" ”
"Exactly similar? Do you mean looks? Aren't that twins? ”
Summer finally turned her around, looked at me and shook her head, and said, "It's not twins, I don't mean looks." ”
"What does that mean? Internal? ”
Summer nodded slightly.
"The definition of intrinsic is very broad! Personality, taste, style, etc., are all internal, which aspect do you refer to? ”
"All!" Summer looked at me very seriously, "I mean that the taste and personality are the same, the living habits are the same, and the work style is the same, do you say this situation exists?" ”
I was stunned, looking at the way I was asking in front of me, and the question she had in her words, which made me have a bad premonition, could it be that this girl has already noticed my true identity?
But on second thought, this girl shouldn't have discovered my true identity yet, she may have been by my side for a long time and noticed something unusual. If I had really been recognized by her, with her current character, she would have exposed me in person, how could she ask me so roundaboutly?
Regardless of the specific summer situation, I can be sure that I haven't been exposed yet, so I don't need to panic too much.
So, I put on a very calm appearance and pretended to say: "People's personality and taste will have an impact on people's living habits and work style, so people with similar personalities and tastes will also have similar living habits and work styles, which is normal and not surprising." ”
"Really?" Summer is still confused.
"Yes, how else can you explain it? Is it one heart and one mind? ”
"Huh!" Summer smiled awkwardly again, then turned her head to the side again, looking out the window.
Summer looked away from me, but I was still a little unsure. So I tentatively asked, "Is that question meaningful?" ”
"It doesn't make any sense, I just thought of asking casually."
"Does my answer help you?"
"Probably... Yes. Summer's answer was a little vague.
Then the two of us fell silent again.
Strange to say, the coffee shop we are in, for some reason, is also surprisingly quiet, obviously there are a lot of people sitting in the shop, but it is not noisy at all. So much so that I was silent, and the whole scene could be described as silent.
Maybe it was because it was so quiet, I couldn't stand it anymore and tried to find a topic to talk about again to break the dead silence.
