The lights are on.

In the bustling street, a man and a woman are holding hands, walking side by side, looking very intimate.

At first glance, it is inevitable to think that they are a couple, but when you look closely, you can't help but be suspicious.

The man was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt, black trousers with a lot of mud, the cloth shoes on his feet were dirty, and his dark skin and thick arms made it clear at a glance that Lu Dao was a construction site worker.

The woman is wearing a purple long skirt, with an elegant posture, a shawl with beautiful hair, a white melon seed face that is infinitely beautiful, and her skin is white and tender, and it can be broken by blowing, as if it can squeeze out water. When she walked in the crowd, it was like a bright violet blooming in the grass, elegant and extraordinary, attracting the burning eyes of many passers-by.

However, to the bewilderment of passers-by, the girl in the purple dress would take the initiative to hold the hand of the short-sleeved man, and the two walked together in stark contrast, which was very incongruous.

Facing the strange eyes of passers-by, Yue'er didn't care at all, and when holding Tang Xiaosheng's hand, she couldn't help but have the illusion of going back in time. When she was a child, after Yue'er and Tang Xiaosheng went to the river to catch fish, she always went back with Tang Xiaosheng hand in hand, just like now.

Compared with Yue'er, Tang Xiaosheng at this time was not so calm. Although he has always been thick-skinned, he still feels uncomfortable when Yue'er holds his hand. He was just a wage earner living at the bottom of society. There is suddenly such a big beauty around me tonight, and this beauty is still so intimate to herself, as a man with moderation, Tang Xiaosheng is really a little unaccustomed.

Tang Xiaosheng moved three truckloads of bricks at the construction site in the afternoon, and his body was dirty, and he originally wanted to keep a distance from Yue'er.

It's a pity that the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.

After leaving the construction site, Yue'er stuck to Tang Xiaosheng like a dog skin plaster, just like when she was a child, and her little hands held Tang Xiaosheng's hands tightly. Ren Tang Xiaosheng couldn't get rid of it.

"Yue'er. My hand has been grabbed by you for more than ten minutes, should you let go of your claws? Tang Xiaosheng asked.

"Not loose." Yue'er stubbornly, "Brother Tang just pinched my arm red, and now it's my turn to pinch you." ”

Tang Xiaosheng raised his eyebrows: "If you want to take advantage of me, just say it." Don't make such high-sounding excuses. ”

Yue'er pouted. Confessed: "Hmm. I just want to take advantage of you. ”

"......" Tang Xiaosheng.

This little girl is really as savage as she was when she was a child.

With a clear cough, Tang Xiaosheng said: "You ran all the way back to China from the United States on the other side of the world, just to get cheap to me?" ”

"Of course not." Yue'er said. "I'm here to travel back to China, and it's just convenient to take advantage of you."

"Tourism?" Tang Xiaosheng asked puzzledly, "Don't you have to go to school?" ”

"I've graduated." Yue'er said, her thin eyebrows raised slightly, her beautiful chin raised slightly, and she said a little proudly, "I have already got my bachelor's degree." ”

Tang Xiaosheng was curious: "What major do you study?" ”

"Department of Philosophy, University of Miami."

"Philosophy?" Tang Xiaosheng teased, "With your unreasonable character, you are embarrassed to study philosophy?" ”

Yue'er grinned, opened her small mouth, and said, "Brother Tang, you just got off work, you must be very hungry, right?" Let's go for a bite to eat together? ”

Tang Xiaosheng was indeed so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, if he hadn't met Yue'er, he would have gone home to eat instant noodles.

"Yue'er, have you had dinner?" Tang Xiaosheng asked.

"Nope."

Since Yue'er hadn't eaten yet, Tang Xiaosheng decided to invite her to a meal. She ran from the United States to China, and it was hard to come here, and it was really unreasonable if she hadn't been invited to a meal.

However, now there is a problem in front of Tang Xiaosheng - he only has 30 yuan in his pocket.

With the current price, it is indeed difficult to get 30 yuan to invite a girl to dinner. However, as the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, only those who are afraid of it.

Anyway, the situation is already like this, and if there are difficulties, you have to go up.

Tang Xiaosheng looked calm, looked at Yue'er, and pretended to say: "I am very relieved that you can come to see me today, I finally didn't hurt you in vain when I was a child." In order to praise you, I will treat you to a meal today. Say, do you want to eat Western food, or Chinese food? ”

Yue'er's pretty face showed an unconcealable joy, her eyes rolled, and she asked, "What do you eat for Western food?" ”

"McDonald's Classic McSpicy Chicken Thigh Burger Great Value Lunch." Tang Xiaosheng added, "The kind of 15 yuan a piece." ”

Yue'er asked again: "What about Chinese food?" ”

"Dumplings." Tang Xiaosheng said, "Three fresh dumplings, chicken and winter bamboo shoot dumplings, fish and leek dumplings, leek and shrimp dumplings, beef dumplings and pork dumplings, you can choose which one you want to eat." ”

There is still room to play for eating dumplings for 30 yuan.

Yue'er pouted: "Brother Tang, you are so stingy, I came to you specially, you invited me to eat this?" ”

"Some of them are good to eat, but they dare to pick?" Tang Xiaosheng said, "I love to eat, I don't eat and pull down." Do you want to eat it? ”

"Eat!" Yue'er straightened her chest, cleared her voice, and said to Tang Xiaosheng, "Little Tangzi, lead the way ahead, the palace is going to eat......"

Before she could finish speaking, Tang Xiaosheng stretched out his right hand, pinched it directly towards Yue'er's Qiong nose, and educated: "You little girl, you really think you are the queen." Let's go and have dinner with me. ”

After speaking, Tang Xiaosheng ran away.

"Stinky Brother Tang, you pinch my nose again!"

Before the words fell, Yue'er immediately chased after her.

So, the two went one after the other, and played a chase on the street again. A few minutes later, the two went to a small restaurant on the street together, and after finding a vacant seat, they sat down.

"Sister Fang, come two bowls of dumplings." After taking his seat, Tang Xiaosheng called out to a middle-aged aunt in the hall. The middle-aged aunt is in her forties, wearing a white apron, and she is the proprietress of the restaurant, Sister Fang.

Tang Xiaosheng often comes to Sister Fang's dumplings to eat, and he is a regular customer.

"Two bowls of dumplings? It's so good......" Sister Fang turned her head to look. After discovering Tang Xiaosheng, he said with a smile, "Xiao Tang, it's you, you haven't been here for a long time...... Hey? After a sweep, she suddenly saw a girl in a purple dress sitting opposite Tang Xiaosheng, the girl's stunning appearance made Sister Fang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, came back to her senses, and asked curiously, "Xiao Tang." Who is this little girl? It's so pretty. ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "It's my sister, called Yue'er." ”

"It's not a sister, it's a girlfriend." Yue'er raised her thin eyebrows lightly and clarified.

"Girlfriend?" Sister Fang was stunned. His face was full of doubts.

"Sister Fang. Yue'er likes to joke. Don't take it seriously. Tang Xiaosheng corrected again and said, "Sister Fang." We want two bowls of dumplings, and both bowls are filled with seafood. ”

Sister Fang nodded: "Okay, it'll be there in five minutes." With that, he was ready to go back to the kitchen.

"Sister Fang." Yue'er suddenly stopped her and added, "We still want a lobster." ”

Sister Fang turned around: "Lobster? ”

"Hmm."

"Lobster, or crayfish?"

"Is there a size of lobster?" Yue'er was a little curious.

"Yes." Sister Fang smiled and introduced, "The big lobster and the crayfish are different, and the price is not the same, why don't I take you to take a look?" ”

"Okay!" Yue'er was very happy, immediately stood up, and then walked towards the kitchen of the restaurant with Sister Fang, ready to pick lobster.

Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Tang Xiaosheng's heart in the seat tightened slightly, and he didn't expect Yue'er to suddenly order a plate of lobster. A plate of lobster costs hundreds of dollars, but he now has 30 pieces in his pocket, which is obviously not enough.

Of course, since Yue'er wanted to eat lobster, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't stop it. Fortunately, he and Sister Fang are more familiar, and when they settle the bill, Tang Xiaosheng can first take credit with her.

Just thinking about it, after a while, I saw that Yue'er had already walked out of the kitchen, sat down opposite Tang Xiaosheng again, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, what are you thinking?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked pretending to be serious: "Yue'er, you have repeatedly told people that I am your boyfriend, and you always take advantage of me like this, what do you want?" ”

Yue'er said confidently: "I finally returned to China, it would be a pity if I didn't take advantage of Brother Tang." ”

Tang Xiaosheng asked rhetorically: "How can you be so selfish?" You always say I'm your boyfriend, if you do this, have you considered my girlfriend's feelings? Think about it, what would happen to my girlfriend if she found out about it? ”

Yue'er Cherry pursed her small mouth, her big eyes flickered a few times, and she asked cautiously, "Brother Tang, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

"Uh...... Not at the moment. There will definitely be in the future, though. Tang Xiaosheng said, "If my future girlfriend knows that I have been taken advantage of by you so much, what do you think she will think?" How would she be in the mood? Isn't it time for you to think about how your sister-in-law will feel in the future? ”

Yue'er asked, "Brother Tang, why don't you have a girlfriend......

"Don't change the subject!"

"You're changing the subject!" Yue'er's big eyes looked at Tang Xiaosheng for a while, and then said to Tang Xiaosheng in the tone of an elder, "Brother Tang, you are not young anymore, it's time to start a family, you should consider getting a girlfriend." ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "You seem to be very experienced, have you had a boyfriend?" ”

Yue'er's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Guess what." ”

"Do you still have to guess?" Tang Xiaosheng said, "You definitely don't have a boyfriend yet." ”

Yue'er asked curiously, "How do you know the Dao?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng asked rhetorically: "Who dares to ask for a barbaric girl like you?" ”

"Who said that there are many people who pursue me?" Yue'er remembered something and recalled, "Brother Tang, do you know that when I was at the University of Miami, there was a black American-Chinese man chasing me. He is a bodybuilder and is very, very strong! ”

Speaking of this, Yue'er spread her hands, made a few exaggerated gestures, and continued, "The muscles on his body are large and large, like steaks. Once, when I was walking around school, he suddenly found me and showed me his strong muscles, which scared me half to death. His muscles were so terrifying that he didn't know how to train them. ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled.

After the two chatted for a few words, after a while, Sister Fang brought two bowls of dumplings, and Tang Xiaosheng and Yue'er began to eat dumplings.

Halfway through the meal, a plate of lobster was served.

"Brother Tang, eat lobster!" Then. Yue'er took out a large lobster from the plate, and after carefully peeling off the shrimp shell with two snow-white hands, she put the shrimp meat into Tang Xiaosheng's bowl.

Tang Xiaosheng was slightly stunned: "Don't you eat lobster?" ”

Yue'er shook her head, touched her belly with her little hand, and said, "I'm full, you can eat this lobster yourself." ”

Tang Xiaosheng was puzzled: "Since you don't eat lobster, why do you order lobster?" ”

"I don't eat it, you can eat it!" Yue'er looked at Tang Xiaosheng's slightly thin figure with big eyes, and there was a faint look of pity in her eyes, and she said softly. "Brother Tang. You must be working a construction site, right? Your body is so thin, you should make up for it. ”

Tang Xiaosheng raised his right hand, bent his arm, and pointed to his strong biceps: "This is still called thinness?" ”

Yue'er said: "You are a muscle." It's not fat. You should grow more fat. Otherwise, it looks too thin. Brother Tang. You've been hungry all day, so hurry up and eat. ”

After saying that, the little hand picked up a large lobster again. began to help Tang Xiaosheng peel shrimp shells again.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaosheng's heart warmed slightly. He is an orphan who has been wandering the city since graduating from high school, with no family, no friends, and little to no one except a few workers at the construction site.

On weekdays, he is alone every day except for working on the construction site, and few people will care about his food, clothing, and daily life, even if he disappears from this world, I am afraid no one will care.

Tang Xiaosheng has been living like this for many years, he has long been used to it, and he doesn't feel anything wrong.

It's just that when he saw that Yue'er was seriously helping him peel the shrimp shell at this time, Tang Xiaosheng realized that there was at least one person in this world who cared about him.

"Brother Tang, why don't you eat shrimp? Don't like it? At this time, Yue'er willow eyebrows bent slightly and asked, "I remember that you like to eat shrimp very much." When we were fishing in the river when we were kids, you liked to catch shrimp the most, and then go home and cook them. Brother Tang, has your hobby of eating shrimp changed? ”

Eyes as pure as water looked at Tang Xiaosheng quietly.

Smiling slightly, Tang Xiaosheng picked up the peeled shrimp in the bowl and said, "I haven't changed, I still like to eat shrimp." With that, put the shrimp to your mouth and take a big bite.

Seeing this, Yue'er Qiao's face showed a look of joy, and said, "You hurry up and eat, I'll peel another one for you." ”

Tang Xiaosheng chewed on the lobster and asked, "Yue'er, why did you suddenly return to China to find me?" ”

Yue'er said: "Didn't I graduate from college this year, and I want to go back to China to have fun." Actually, I wanted to come to see Brother Tang for a long time, but my parents wouldn't let me come. By the way, Brother Tang, have you received the letter I sent you from the United States? ”

"Letters?" Tang Xiaosheng was stunned, "What letter?" ”

Yue'er frowned slightly: "You didn't receive it?" I sent it to the orphanage, and I sent several letters last year and the year before that, but you didn't receive it? ”

"An orphanage?" Tang Xiaosheng shook his head and explained, "The orphanage where we lived back then had its address changed five years ago, and I heard that even the name was changed, so it is estimated that your letter will not be sent to the orphanage." What's more, after the orphanage changed its address, I don't know where it moved to, and I haven't been back to the orphanage since the third grade of junior high school. ”

"How so?" Yue'er's face was lost for a while, and she said to herself, "Why do you want to change your address?" Have you not received all my letters? ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "I didn't receive the letter, but five years ago, I received a small package from the United States, and you sent the package, right?" ”

"Package?" Hearing this, Yue'er's eyes suddenly lit up and asked, "What kind of package is it?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng recalled: "It was a pink heart-shaped box, and there was a small gift in the box. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yue'er was very excited and said, "There is a gift made of crystal in the box, a crystal of the 'angel's wings' type. ”

Tang Xiaosheng nodded: "You sent this crystal?" ”

"yes!" Yue'er was excited, seemed a little incredulous, and asked again, "Brother Tang, did you really receive that crystal?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "I received it, I received it five years ago." "Why did you send me an 'angel's wings' crystal?" ”

Yue'er grinned and didn't answer, but just asked, "Brother Tang, where is that crystal?" ”

"Thrown." Tang Xiaosheng said.

"Thrown?" Yue'er was stunned for a moment, her eyes were round, and her willow eyebrows furrowed, "Why did you throw it away?" I gave you this crystal. ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "What are you doing with that crystal?" Eat and can't eat. I couldn't use it, and I took up space when I put it away, so I just threw it away. ”

Hearing this, Yue'er was immediately unhappy: "How can you be like this?" It's so unconscionable, I actually threw away the gift I gave you? Beautiful eyes stared at Tang Xiaosheng and asked with a serious face, "Where did you throw the crystal?" ”

"In the garbage."

"Garbage heap?" Yue'er was a little broken, "Which garbage heap did you throw it on?" ”

"Remember when there was a garbage dump in the backyard of the orphanage? Just throw it there. ”

"When did you throw it?"

"Five years ago. When I received the gift, I saw that it was useless and threw it away. ”

"Five years ago?" Yue'er's squeamish face was full of disappointment. "It's been five years. It seems that it can't be recovered. ”

Tang Xiaosheng took another bite of shrimp meat, and asked while chewing, "What, do you still want to get that crystal back?" ”

Yue'er pursed her lips and said a little resentfully: "What's the use of talking about this now?" You're throwing it all away. ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "That's right. It's just a broken crystal. It's not worth a few bucks either. Throw it away, throw it away. After swallowing the last piece of lobster, he said, "Yue'er." Hurry up, I've finished eating the lobster, peel another one for me. ”

"Don't peel!" Yue'er raised her thin eyebrows lightly, and glared at Tang Xiaosheng a little angrily, "You threw away all the gifts I gave you, so I won't peel the shrimp." After speaking, the two little hands picked up the lobster on the table, hid it behind him, and pouted, "This shrimp is not for you to eat, hum!" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "Not so, right? Isn't it just a crystal? ”

Yue'er turned her little face away and snorted coldly, looking like "I won't pay attention to you anymore".

Seeing her stubborn appearance, Tang Xiaosheng couldn't help but smile, this girl's temper is exactly the same as when she was a child, and she will turn her face when she says it.

With a clear cough, Tang Xiaosheng said, "Okay, let's be honest with you, I didn't actually throw away that crystal gift." ”

Yue'er didn't believe it at all: "Don't try to lie to me, anyway, you want to eat this lobster." ”

Tang Xiaosheng repeated: "I really didn't throw it." Love to believe in it, and don't believe in it. ”

Hearing this, Yue'er's big eyes blinked, her eyes fell on Tang Xiaosheng's face, and she asked seriously, "You really didn't throw it away?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "With your IQ, can I deceive you?" ”

Yue'er thought for a moment and said, "If you hadn't thrown it, where would the crystal of the 'Angel's Wings' be?" ”

"It's in my rental house." Tang Xiaosheng said.

Hearing this, Yue'er's eyes lit up slightly, and she was so excited that the deer in her chest slammed into each other, and asked, "Brother Tang, is the crystal really in your house?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng pointed to the lobster in her hand: "Put the lobster on the table first." ”

Yue'er didn't hesitate, and immediately obediently put the lobster back in front of Tang Xiaosheng, before Tang Xiaosheng could order, Yue'er had already taken the initiative to peel another lobster and handed it to Tang Xiaosheng: "Brother Tang, eat shrimp." ”

Tang Xiaosheng looked calm, didn't say a word, took the lobster, and continued to eat.

Yue'er pursed her lips slightly, and asked with concern, "Brother Tang, is the crystal still in your house now?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you always have this crystal with you?"

"Almost."

Asked this, Yue'er's fair face was slightly red, her jade lips pursed, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she asked softly, "Why do you bring crystals with you?" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "I originally wanted to throw away the crystal, but this thing is really useless, and it is a waste of space to stay in the house." It's just that then I thought, this gift was given by Yue'er, this girl is so barbaric, if she knows that I threw away the gift she gave, she won't fight with me? So, I left the crystal behind. ”

After a pause and a bite of the lobster, Tang Xiaosheng said, "Now that I think about it, I still have the foresight, if I don't keep this crystal, I probably won't be able to eat this lobster tonight." ”

Yue'er grinned and said, "Brother Tang, where do you live, I'll go back with you later." ”

Tang Xiaosheng frowned: "No, after eating the lobster, we will go our separate ways." By the way, where do you live? ”

"I'm not going back." Yue'er was a little stubborn, "I'm going to see the crystal of that 'angel's wings'!" ”

Tang Xiaosheng said: "Didn't your mother just ask you to go home early on the phone?" Crystals will have a chance to look at it later. ”

"No, I'm going to watch it tonight." Yue'er said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine when I go back later, I'll just make a phone call and my mommy will say it." Brother Tang, let me go home with you, right? ”

"Nope." Tang Xiaosheng said, "My rental house is in the suburbs, and I have to toss back and forth for a while. It's already past eight o'clock in the evening, it's too late. If you have any time, we'll meet again, and I'll bring you the crystal. ”

Yue'er shook her head: "No! I'm going home with you tonight! If you don't take me home, I won't go home! He rolled his eyes and said, "By the way, you don't have to take me home, I can follow you secretly, and then I'll know where you live, hehe." ”

Tang Xiaosheng's brows tightened slightly, he knew that this little girl did what she said, if she really didn't take her home, she would definitely follow her secretly.

Tang Xiaosheng doesn't know where Lu Daoyue'er lives now, and it's really unsafe to let her run around as a girl late at night.

Thinking of these, Tang Xiaosheng said, "I can take you to see the crystal." But after watching the crystals, you have to go home, can you do it? ”

"Hmm." Yue'er nodded again and again, and put the third lobster that had just been peeled into Tang Xiaosheng's bowl, "Brother Tang, hurry up and eat, and go home to see the crystal after eating." ”

Tang Xiaosheng burped, he couldn't eat anymore. Since that's the case, it's time to settle the bill with Sister Fang. No, it's on credit. (To be continued......)
