Chapter 50: Holding Hands
Time is a naughty child, always coming and going without a trace, he came gently, you didn't notice, but when you found out, he had quietly left, you suddenly realized, and then gloomily regretted that you didn't cherish him well, regretted that you didn't act in time, regretted that you didn't work hard enough, regretted that you missed everything.
Time is such a naughty child, coming quietly, walking gently, he is like a gust of wind, passing through his fingertips before he has time to feel, turning everything into a soft finger.
So soon, a semester has passed, autumn has quietly left, and winter is already halfway over.
During the winter vacation, the classmates who had been together also began to separate and start a new life, but Xiaoli was still working on holidays as usual.
This time the place of work is a western restaurant where she used to work part-time, the western restaurant is mainly built of wood, giving people a retro and elegant feeling, as soon as she walks into the western restaurant, a touch of rich coffee fragrance comes to her face, although Xiaoli has no research on coffee, but she likes this feeling very much.
The western restaurant is always very quiet, and the people inside seem to be so elegant, but occasionally there are a few people who have no quality. And Xiaoli is always far away from this kind of guests, and the supervisor will deal with anything anyway. She doesn't like the kind of people who fight sideways with a little money, but this world is like this, rich and powerful people are kings, there are so many such people, she doesn't like it but she doesn't have the strength to resist, so she can only choose to stay away.
This world is full of people or things that we hate, but we all have to survive in such a world, and everything we endure is just to survive and live.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, but there will be any festivals in the catering industry, so Xiaoli also goes to work as always, but fortunately, the Lord has scheduled her morning shift today, and she can get off work at 7 o'clock in the afternoon. A group of them had already made an appointment.
But unfortunately, Xin Yi and her family went to Beijing for a trip, and today the news said that it was snowing heavily in Beijing, and the flights back were delayed, and the aunt decided to spend the New Year in Beijing, so ...... She can't spend this year's New Year with her.
In addition, in the past few months, Ma Wenhao has joined her circle, although Xin Yi does not have a good face for Ma Wenhao, but other people get along well with Ma Wenhao, so he joined their group this New Year.
In the past few months, she and Ma Wenhao have developed quite smoothly, but she has little time to spend alone with him, and even at Christmas, she released his pigeons because of work. She felt guilty when she remembered that he had waited for her for three hours in the winter months, and sometimes she asked her why he could do it for her, and he always smiled but never explained why.
"Xiaoli, let's get off work!" Xiaoli was refilling the water for the guests, but the supervisor came to her, patted her on the shoulder and said.
The director of the western restaurant is a woman in her 30s and 40s, although she usually has a cold face, but when you get along, you will know that she is a very good person, and she usually takes care of Xiaoli.
"Now?" Xiaoli looked at the wall clock hanging on the wall and asked suspiciously, It's only six o'clock.
"Well, let's get off work!" The director smiled, then raised an eyebrow at Xiaoli.
Xiaoli followed her eyes and looked at the door, only to see Ma Wenhao sitting on a stool outside the café waiting for her.
"Let's get off work!" The director patted Xiaoli on the shoulder, then reached out to take the stainless steel kettle from her hand. "Don't let him wait that long today."
As he spoke, the director smiled ambiguously and raised his eyebrows at Xiaoli.
"That ......" Xiaoli looked at the restaurant, now that the food market has just started, and the successor has not yet come, is it really no problem for her to leave like this? However, Xiaoli looked at Ma Wenhao outside again, and saw him sitting on a chair outside the restaurant, and the breath he exhaled turned into a white mist, it should be quite cold outside!
"If you don't leave, then stay and work overtime." How could the director not know what Xiaoli was worried about! She will let Xiaoli go, firstly because she usually sees Ma Wenhao waiting for Xiaoli and a few other strange pitifuls, and secondly, because she admires Xiaoli, this child is serious. Although the guests give her a good face, she doesn't show much to the good-looking guests, but she is usually quite diligent in her work.
"That...... All right! Thank you, Director. Looking at the supervisor, Xiaoli smiled gratefully, and then went to change her clothes after explaining the work at hand, and then left the café happily.
When she opened the door of the store, Xiaoli saw Ma Wenhao holding a mobile phone in his hand, with headphones in his ears, looking at One Piece quietly, and didn't he let out a few chuckles. Seeing this, Xiaoli smiled, and then walked over lightly. I really can't imagine that Ma Wenhao, an obedient card, will also like to watch anime, and it seems that he is not as wooden as everyone imagined!
"Is it pretty?" Xiaoli gently came to Ma Wenhao's face, reached out and took off Ma Wenhao's headphones, and asked with a smile.
Ma Wenhao, who was too late to react, raised his head in surprise, and when he saw that it was Xiaoli, he smiled slightly, "Why is it so early today?" ”
As he spoke, Ma Wenhao turned off his phone, then put it away, and asked happily.
"Eun, today the director released people early. Is it cold? Why don't you wear a jacket! Xiaoli looked at Ma Wenhao's outfit today and asked. Today's Ma Wenhao wore a white shirt, then wore a gray sewing jacket outside, and a red scarf around his neck, because his skin is very fair, so he looks so good-looking, and now he is the same as usual, so polite, so touching people's hearts.
"I have a coat! When I first arrived, I was in a bit of a hurry, and then it got hot, so I just took off my coat. With that, Ma Wenhao stood up, picked up the black jacket on the back of the chair, and shook it in front of Xiaoli.
"Oh, it turned out to be in the back, no wonder I can't see it." Xiaoli pursed her lips, she was really worried.
As if he had thought of something, Ma Wenhao turned around and picked up the gift bag on the table, "Here, for you!" ”
"What did it come from?"
Xiaoli took it and asked suspiciously.
"Just look at it!"
Hearing this, Xiaoli pursed her lips, and then reached out to take the contents of the bag. Hat?
"Do you like it?"
"Yes, but ...... Why did you buy me a hat? Holding the red and white knitted hat, Xiaoli asked strangely.
"Look your ears are frozen red!" As he spoke, Ma Wenhao reached out and took the hat from Xiaoli's hand, and then carefully helped her put it on.
And Xiaoli stared at him tightly like this, with mixed feelings in her heart. She didn't care about herself, but she became the one he cared about as much.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Xiaoli's red eyes, Ma Wenhao put his hands on her shoulders, bent down, stared at her, and asked suspiciously.
"It's fine!"
Although he heard Xiaoli say this, Ma Wenhao still stared at her uneasily, until he confirmed that she was really fine, he pursed his lips and smiled reassuringly, "Since it's okay, then let's go!" Little girl, they are all waiting for us to play hot pot! ”
As he spoke, Ma Wenhao reached out and took Xiaoli's hand and walked forward.
Xiaoli lowered her head, looked at his hand holding her, and smiled slightly. When was he already bold enough to hold her hand? And when did she get used to being held by his hand? When did everything change?
