Chapter 39: Remembrance, Before Loss

The Dust Washing Book House not only sells and borrows books, but also reads books.

There are a few antique wooden tables and long wooden chairs in the store, which should be in line with the elegant decoration style of the entire bookstore, so that people can unconsciously sit quietly and read the book.

When Zhang Yuan chose to open a store here, the value of the shop was not as high as it is now, and it was not a prosperous area, so the price of buying it was not high.

"Sister Yang, Sister Zheng......" parked the bicycle outside the window, and the three walked into the book house that had just opened, and greeted the two girls behind the counter with a smile.

Yang Si and Zheng Fangfang are both twenty-six years old, and they have been in the store for more than two years, with a difference of less than a month.

After they responded with a smile, Su Yiqing took out two books from her schoolbag and put them on the counter: "Sister Yang, I have finished reading these two books, and I will return them to you." ”

Yang Si quickly scanned the barcodes of the two books, looked at the computer and deliberately said with a straight face: "The two books are overdue, according to the regulations, I will fill you in the blacklist." ”

"Don't, Sister Yang......" Su Yiqing grabbed Yang Si's arm across the counter and shook it, "I didn't come to return it because I went to see Uncle Zhang, otherwise I would have returned it a long time ago, don't remember my blacklist." ”

"I can't help it, unless I ......" Yang Si smiled and stretched out his fingers to hook her chin, "...... Kiss me. ”

Yang Si, who has short hair, is already biased towards neutral beauty, and this teasing can be seen Zhang Yang and Gu Bei can't help laughing, but Su Yiqing blushed, and she hooked Yang Si's neck with annoyance, and slammed a "let's chirp" on her face.

Yang Si giggled and put the books away, Gu Bei stepped forward and silently took out three books, his smiling expression a little shy......

"Sister Yang, my three books...... It should have been overdue......"

Several people were stunned, and then Zhang Yang Su Yiqing began to hold back a smile.

Yang Simian swept the barcodes of the three books without changing his face and put them away directly.

"It's okay, you're already on the blacklist."

"Hahaha......"

……

Zhang Yang and Su Yiqing, who were laughing violently, dragged Gu Bei, who couldn't accept that they were blacklisted, and walked to a wooden table against the wall in the corner.

Su Yiqing shuddered fiercely, stopping Gu Bei, who kept wanting to go to the counter to seek equality, and the three of them sat down and each took out a test paper.

As for countless periods of time, the three of them buried their heads and quietly began to complete their tasks.

The soothing music sounded softly in the early morning air, the time was too early, there were no customers in the store, only Sister Zheng, who was cleaning, happened to pass by, so she looked at them and smiled.

In the rustling of writing, no one spoke, only occasionally their eyes met, and the three of them could feel the tacit understanding and warmth flowing in the quiet......

There is also a faint nostalgia that has not yet been lost, and has begun.

……

The hour hand slowly climbed past a scale, and after another half an hour, Gu Bei, who had always had the best grades, sat up straight and stretched his waist greatly. Looking at the two of them proudly, but receiving two fierce eyes, Gu Bei shrugged his shoulders and began to wander leisurely between the bookshelves.

Ten minutes later, Gu Bei returned to his seat with the book, and Zhang Yang and Su Yiqing were already shaking their heads and stretching their bodies.

Su Yiqing took out a packet of potato chips from her schoolbag, opened it and put it in the middle of the table, and took Zhang Yang and Gu Bei's rolls in front of her.

"Ha, you can't do this question, you're so stupid, I'll teach you......"

"Oh, you're amazing, say it quickly."

"Also, your answer to this question is different from mine, you are absolutely wrong, big stupid pig."

"Whoever said it, you must be wrong!"

"Gu Bei, what do you say......"

"Ahem, actually...... You don't seem to be right......"

A small fierce and interesting quarrel, accompanied by the clatter of potato chips, resounded in this small corner, and began to bring the whole quiet bookstore to life.

The number of customers in the store has gradually increased, but almost all of them are old customers who have been reading and buying books here all year round, and occasionally they are awakened by this slight noise from their distractions, and they probably shake their heads and smile slightly, and then sink into the world of books again. The more familiar ones will follow the voice and make a good quip.

After about twenty minutes of discussion, the three of them confirmed that they had corrected each other's test papers, and then entered the fixed program each time: Gu Beida asked questions.

Gu Bei put the book he had just gotten on the table seriously, raised his eyebrows at the two of them, and was about to speak, Su Yiqing waved his fist: "If you dare to ask me how many stars there are, I will beat you all over the stars......"

Gu Bei nodded with a righteous face and opened the book.

"Excuse me, how many teeth does a mosquito have?"

In the sluggish expressions of the two, Gu Bei laughed sullenly, and "left".

"Gu Bei! You're dead! ”

With a small roar, Su Yiqing grinded the little tiger teeth and chased after him fiercely!

As a result, two silent but rapidly wandering figures appeared in the bookstore......

Zhang Yang silently picked up the book on the table, really curious how Gu Bei, a neurotic, discovered this problem from this book "Talking about Astrology"......

……

As Gu Bei was caught back by Su Yiqing's ears, the questions finally became much more normal, but most of them were strange questions such as "Virgo personality analysis", "Which of the eight planets is the best", "What are the names of the Big Dipper", and the two who often couldn't answer the questions pressed him under the table in anger.

In the case of trying not to affect other people's reading, the three of them lowered their voices, and laughed and scolded in this small corner, squandering their last youthful moments.

When the needle fell on the twelfth scale, the three of them began to pack their things, Gu Bei put the book back in its place, the three of them carried their schoolbags, said hello to Sister Yang and Sister Zheng, and pushed open the glass and walked out.

The three people standing at the door of the store were suddenly a little silent, Gu Bei pulled the shoulder strap of his schoolbag and walked to the bicycle: "I'll go pack it." ”

Su Yiqing suddenly spoke: "Come back." ”

"Huh?"

Su Yiqing took out her mobile phone: "Let's take a photo together." ”

Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and walked back.

The golden sunlight shone down from the eaves of the bookstore, and the three heads pressed tightly together. Su Yiqing stretched out her hand, and on the screen of her mobile phone, a bright smile that condensed countless memories was condensed under the freeze frame!

……

Su Yiqing looked at the phone silently, Gu Bei laughed, and got on the bicycle: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Su Yiqing shook her head: "Whatever." ”

"Chicken steak rice," Zhang Yang beckoned to Gu Bei, who had already set off, "Eh, add an egg!" ”

"It's up to you!" Su Yiqing snorted out laughing and twisted his arm slightly, "Let's go." ”

"Oh, yes, you remember......" Zhang Yang smiled and ran forward.

"Wait for me!" Su Yiqing chased after him and ran a few steps, then suddenly stopped, "Wait a minute!" ”

Zhang Yang turned her head, and she pointed to the other side: "When did you open the flower shop?" ”

"I don't remember it, I think it was opened recently." Zhang Yang shook his head.

"Check it out." Su Yiqing didn't know what to think.

"Oh."

The two walked into the flower shop, a faint fragrance permeated, and a woman about thirty years old, who was still beautiful, stood up, looked at the two and smiled: "Classmate, do you want to buy flowers?" ”

Su Yiqing nodded obediently: "Let's take a look." ”

"What a beautiful peony flower...... Zhang Yang stood in front of a bouquet of flowers and took a deep breath.

Su Yiqing's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and scolded softly: "Idiot, that's a lily." ”

Zhang Yang touched his nose and hid to the side......

Su Yiqing turned slowly, suddenly stopped, looked at Zhang Yang, who was smelling the fragrance of flowers, and said to the woman: "Boss, can you wrap these yellow roses for me?" ”

The woman was stunned, her gaze fell on the small cluster of yellow roses with some meaning, and she smiled and nodded.

"Why are you buying flowers?" Zhang Yang looked at her strangely.

"I haven't been to the coffee shop for a long time, I can't buy flowers for them, I want you to take care of it!" Su Yiqing suddenly snorted angrily.

While speaking, the woman had wrapped the yellow roses beautifully, Su Yiqing paid for them, and when she walked out of the store, she suddenly stopped and looked at a potted plant outside the door in surprise.

"Rosemary ......"

The woman who walked out of the door laughed, "Yes, few people recognize it." ”

"Boss, do you still have rosemary seeds? Can you sell me a little? ”

"You're welcome, I still have a lot, I'll give you some."

The woman walked into the shop with a smile and quickly came out with a packet of seeds.

After thanking him, Su Yiqing took the seed without speaking, and followed Zhang Yang forward.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Yang turned his face to look at her.

Su Yiqing suddenly took his hand and stuffed the bag of seeds into his hand: "Go back and plant it well, do you hear?" ”

"Oh," Zhang Yang replied, watching her turn and leave, "inexplicable......

……

After lunch, Su Yiqing helped Sister Jing put the small bouquet of yellow roses in place, ran to the back of the counter, and pestered Xia Hai to secretly mix a cup of mustard coffee......

And Zhang Yang and Gu Bei were already on the table by the window, setting up flying chess.

Su Yiqing took the coffee and walked over slowly.

Zhang Yang and Gu Bei looked at the green coffee, and they couldn't help but feel excited.

"It's just mint coffee, don't worry."

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's get started."

And then, the scene began to fall into-

"It's six! He blew it! He blows ...... Not counted, not counted! ”

"Haha, I'm finally out!"

"Don't step on me, you have another one to go!"

"Go back to your hometown and stay! Hahaha-"

"Don't run! I'm going to get revenge......."

……

Finally, the game ended with Gu Bei's failure, and the two watched him serve his coffee with anticipation. Behind the counter, Xia Hai and Sister Jing's heads also quietly poked out.

"It's not fair, you two together step on me!"

"Who told you to step on us first, willing to gamble and lose, drink quickly, drink quickly......"

"That's it, don't cheat!"

Gu Bei pinched his nose, picked up the coffee with great resentment, closed his eyes suddenly, and poured it all into his mouth!

Burst!

Su Yiqing had already pulled Zhang Yang and jumped to the side, and the whole café laughed wildly!

"Hahahaha!"

Gu Bei knelt on the ground, his face was as green as the cup of coffee just now, and he kept coughing while looking at Brother Hai who was laughing wildly behind the counter in pain!

After Su Yiqing "cried silently" and told Zhang Yang that it was mustard, the two laughed and collapsed on the ground together, and Sister Jing lay on the counter, unable to straighten her waist for a long time!

The afternoon sun shines through the bright shop windows and falls on their faces smiling madly, like youth blooming without scruples......

After a full five minutes, the three of them sat back at the table, Gu Bei kept wiping his face and clothes with paper, and Zhang Yang and Su Yiqing still chuckled from time to time.

Xia Hai smiled and brought three cups of cold drinks and put them in front of them.

"It's almost time to take the college entrance exam, how are you preparing?"

Faced with this topic that has been deliberately avoided, the three of them froze in unison, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay......"

Behind the counter, Sister Jing called: "Xia Hai, come and help me take a look at this cake." ”

"Oh, good."

After Xia Hai walked into the bar, he was twisted by Sister Jing, who lowered her head, and quietly pointed to the flowers on the bar with her other hand.

"I want you to talk nonsense! You didn't see the flowers sent by Yiqing! ”

"What do you mean?" Xia Hai endured the pain and lowered his body.

As soon as Sister Jing raised her head, she looked at the delicate yellow roses in the sun, and her eyes suddenly reddened.

"It means ......"

"Smile and leave."
