CHAPTER XXIII
Jiang Yuerong's face flushed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info she took a step back: "How can I use any perfume?" ”
"Don't lie." Rong Zixiao smiled: "You are really fragrant, with a little floral fragrance and some fruit sweetness." ”
"Maybe it's because I spent the morning in the flower room today. As for the fruit......" Jiang Yuerong thought about it and finally smiled. She took out a red-colored apple from her bag: "Do you have a puppy nose?" You can smell everything. ”
"You scolded me?" Rong Zixiao saw that she was smiling like a flower, and she was also happy, so she took the apple and took a bite with her mouth.
"Hey, I haven't washed it yet." Jiang Yuerong wanted to stop it too late: "I'm going to ...... Alas, forget it. ”
"It's a rare time of year to have apples. So you didn't bring it to me? ”
"I didn't know I would meet you." Jiang Yuerong replied honestly.
Rong Zixiao made a disappointed expression: "In vain, I also brought you a gift." He put his left hand behind his back, and like magic, took out a beautifully packaged box and handed it to Jiang Yuerong: "For you." His arms were stretched straight, and he held the box in both hands, as if he was precious and valuable. His eyes were smiling, and his heart and enthusiasm were written on his face.
Jiang Yuerong lost her mind for a moment, but she quickly took her eyes off Rong Zixiao's face, and said a little unnaturally: "Today is not a day, why give me a gift?" ”
"Won't you open it first and see what it is?" Rong Zixiao urged.
"Or ...... You take it first. Jiang Yuerong just didn't answer it, and her eyes looked away.
The smile on Rong Zixiao's face gradually froze. The salesman who watched this scene was also a little embarrassed, and secretly blamed the young lady for not understanding the amorous feelings, but she was very clever to help the round: "Sir's vision is really good, do you want me to help Miss wrap this bottle of perfume?" ”
Jiang Yuerong hurriedly shook her head and said, "No need, I'll take another look." ”
Rong Zixiao disagreed: "Let's pretend." He said to Jiang Yuerong: "This is what I gave to my aunt, please help me bring it to her." ”
Jiang Yuerong bit her lip and thanked her softly. Her voice seemed to come out of her throat, and her eyes kept avoiding his. Unlike her usual generous demeanor, today's Jiang Yuerong is like a frightened rabbit, timid, stiff, and withdrawn.
Rong Zixiao still held the box tightly in his hand. What was originally a painstaking gift, once rejected, seems to suddenly become worthless.
------------------------------
Coming out of the department store, the two of them walked aimlessly along Zhejiang Road. In the famous imported curved glass window of Yongan Department Store, two figures are reflected. The same tall and handsome, the same slender and light, the same steps, the same pace, made the two shadows so intimate and coordinated, so close that they seemed to have been stacked together.
It's just that the shadow is a lie after all. In reality, the two people walking keep a flat distance, separated from each other, and are preoccupied, silent and depressed, like strangers who are on the same road but do not know each other.
The first to break the deadlock was Rong Zixiao: "I ate your apples, so I'll buy a few and pay you a few." It's just that apples are not easy to buy in this season, and I don't know if they are sold. ”
"Don't look for it, there's nothing around here. Besides, it's just an apple, not anything. Jiang Yuerong replied.
"How do you know there's no apples sold around here?" Rong Zi Xiaoqi said.
"Oh, there's not a church-run welfare home on the corner around the corner. When I was passing by the other day, I saw a little girl of six or seven years old standing there with an iron fence and looking out, so I chatted with her. When it comes to my favorite food, I say my favorite thing to eat is apples. She said she was too. Even though she had never eaten it, she thought it must be the best thing in the world. So I searched around here for a long time, trying to buy a few apples for her to eat. But as you said, there are no apples sold at all this season, and if anyone has them, they were all stored last fall. It's really disappointing. It just so happened that yesterday I went to someone's house for a visit, and he had a plate of apples on the table. So I ......" Jiang Yuerong said eloquently, unconsciously opening the conversation.
"So you took the sheep and stole one." Rong Zixiao said with a smile.
"No, don't talk nonsense. I asked for one, but I'm too embarrassed to ask for more. ”
Conversation is really a good way to defuse the embarrassment. In the conversation and laughter, the atmosphere between the two is much more harmonious.
"If that's the case, I'll pay even more. It's all to blame for being too reckless. If you just eat your apple, it will be just a little girl. Rong Zixiao paused, as if to ask casually, "Are you going home?" Why don't we go to dinner together? I think at this time, you should be hungry too. ”
Jiang Yuerong didn't answer, but stopped suddenly.
Rong Zixiao also stopped, and he realized that the unsettling air just now was slowly returning.
Jiang Yuerong didn't speak, just looked at him deeply, as if she wanted to see him in his heart. Her expression was complicated, some worried, some anxious, and inexplicably sad and guilty.
"What the hell is going on? Yuerong, has something happened? You're looking at me like you're looking at a stranger. Rong Zixiao finally couldn't help it.
Jiang Yuerong shook her head and asked rhetorically, "Can you tell me, how did you know that I would be here today?" ”
"Absolutely. Your eldest brother told me. Rong Zixiao replied frankly.
"Do you go and ask him or ...... him"
"He said it when he came to our company yesterday to look for me."
"What else did he tell you?" Jiang Yuerong asked.
Rong Zixiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "It's nothing." Just let me follow you...... Get along well. ”
"I see." Jiang Yuerong nodded. She was originally introverted, but she was unusually not a little shy at this time: "Then it should be that after he came home yesterday, he told his mother and asked her to ask me to meet here today." ”
"Why are you so serious? Are you angry with your big brother? I don't think there's anything wrong with it, he's creating opportunities for us to be alone. ”
"That's what's wrong. There's no reason why we need to be alone......"
"Moonlight." Rong Zixiao grabbed her hand in a hurry. The hand was soft, but it was as cold as ice: "Did I do something wrong?" Didn't we have a good time before? He suddenly became suspicious: "Did someone tell you something?" I don't think you're the kind of person who listens and believes. If you think there's something wrong with me, tell me frankly, I can explain it, and you can change it. ”
