Chapter Twenty-Four: A Chance Encounter in a Bookstore
The overlapping words flickered in the sky, as if bombarding Cheng Jiali's mind, making her feel like she was in a trance.
Cheng Jiali's leaning back head quickly retracted, she instantly shook, and what kept pouring out of her mind was Fang Cai's memory.
Her gaze swept to the middle-aged uncle, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.
At first, she thought this person was weird, but she didn't think it was a thief, and she hated to poke him on the spot.
At this time, she couldn't sit still, staring at a certain place with a constipated and jealous face, as if she was about to stand up at any moment.
The flickering words suddenly disappeared, but a blue light went straight to the middle-aged uncle's brain. Cheng Jiali got up and approached him step by step, and the crowd around her took the initiative to make way for her.
"I'm sorry, it's your bag back to you."
Cheng Jiali was stunned for a moment, and the voice that floated into her ears was a little familiar. Helplessness is mixed with apologies. She blinked, and her eyes widened in an instant.
The middle-aged uncle consciously took out a black wallet from his pocket and handed it out with both hands. The car suddenly boiled, and in an instant it was quiet again, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on the two middle-aged men.
It's just that one look dodged, with a strong apology. One looked misty, with complete confusion.
"Thief, he should be handed over to the police." Someone reacted, and pointed at the middle-aged uncle who bowed his head and shouted.
"Abominable thief ......"
"Hurry up and catch him, don't let him hurt people again......"
All kinds of noises made Cheng Jiali's brain buzz, she frowned slightly and rubbed her temples, almost couldn't help but shout.
"The default 3D space shift mode is on, please get ready."
"The three-dimensional spatial shift mode is received."
"......" Cheng Jiali looked dumbfounded, didn't she let me prepare, I wasn't ready yet, broken machine.
She scolded in her heart, and then she lost her anger. While tidying up the messy hairstyle, I looked at the place.
All kinds of vehicles are flowing endlessly, and pedestrians on the road are hurrying, shouting, and shouting.
It's not a lively scene.
There is a large department store across the road, which gives a magnificent atmosphere just from the outside. At the entrance of the supermarket, the song and dance troupe performed in the center of the newly built stage, and the surrounding area was naturally crowded with many people watching the excitement.
Cheng Jiali only felt that the name of the supermarket was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. She pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at the large screen above her.
Xincheng Bookstore is a famous large bookstore in City A, with all kinds of books, astronomy and geography, and the entire seven floors are full of books. Like what kind of psychology, inspirational success learning, literary masterpieces, textbooks and tutorials, people are dazzled.
Cheng Jiali has no interest in these books at all, and if it weren't for the teacher's mandatory requirements, she probably wouldn't have been here twice a year.
It took me a long time to rummage through my pockets to find the unshakable scraps of paper that had been ravaged. She stared at the piece of paper, her eyes straightened, and she struggled to make out the blurred handwriting on it.
If she hadn't written down the secretary that Xu Jingjing had entrusted her to buy in advance, it would have been forgotten as soon as she slept with her memory.
She thought about choosing the books she wanted quietly, looked left and right, and looked at the vast sea of books, and was worried for a while.
With so many books, it's too much trouble to find.
Pride & Prejudice Turnright
Just when Cheng Jiali was at a loss, a green indicator light suddenly lit up above, and the right arrow prompted her to go in the direction of the left-hand side. "Target display positioning is being accelerated."
Cheng Jiali couldn't help but speed up, and her steps were relaxed and happy. She stared at the sky above her head, and it didn't take long for her to find her exact position.
Following the instructions of the machine qì person, she quickly selected the book she wanted.
Cheng Jiali looked up at the lit screen, the system prompted that the sophomore tutoring book was in the southwest corner, she walked towards the southwest with joy, but saw two familiar figures around the corner
At first, she wasn't sure, but she wasn't sure until the girl's side face turned around, but her heart was inexplicably flustered.
Cheng Jiali didn't want to fight them head-on, so she hurriedly lowered her head and turned around and prepared to leave.
A cool tone sounded behind her, Cheng Jiali Huo Ran raised her head, and the stupid pestle was in place.
"Cheng Jiali?" The voice sounded again, and it was impossible for Cheng Jiali to think about it as if she hadn't heard it. He straightened up and gasped and turned to a smiling face.
"It's you... Guys. Cheng Jiali tilted her head sideways and walked over to greet the two of them in a friendly manner. What a coincidence......" Her smile stiffened, and her weak voice trembled a little.
"Do you buy books too?" The girl on the opposite side was dressed plainly, with a light-colored sweater on top of a white shirt with black English letters clearly printed on it, and simple jeans underneath.
For some reason, such a very ordinary outfit always shows a different effect on her.
Cheng Jiali stared at Xu Jiaying for a while before turning her gaze to the boy next to her.
On weekdays, the regular school uniform looks rigid, although the ironing is clean and tidy, it always has a strong student spirit. And today's Zhao Ran is wearing a sports and leisure suit, and the whole person looks very energetic. The usual bleak eyes re-emitted brilliance today, so that Cheng Jiali had an illusion. There seemed to be a smile on his lips, which looked so unreal.
"We met by chance." A cold voice sounded in her ears, and the corners of Cheng Jiali's mouth tugged, and she made a faint sound.
The scene was very embarrassing, none of the three of them spoke, Cheng Jiali's eyes turned around, panicked and didn't know where to go.
"Perform the exercise book after the second year of high school Chinese class, walk straight for 100 meters, turn right and walk 30 meters to reach the designated location." The cold tone suddenly sounded, Cheng Jiali blinked, and the green straight arrow was extremely dazzling.
"I... I'll look somewhere else...... See you later. As soon as the words fell, Cheng Jiali floated away like a gust of wind.
