That Wei Taiqiang and his subordinates set up a new recruitment booth, and he wanted to hire new e-sports players, who he believed would bring benefits to him.

The market is a bit far away, and it takes more than an hour to take the bus in good road conditions. Fortunately, the subway is under construction, and this is the terminal station, so it will be much more convenient to come over in the future.

When he hurried there, many stalls were almost closed, but fortunately, he still bought two catties of good, and he walked back happily.

, walking on the road after dark is even more popular. The road was freshly repaired, and under the bright and indifferent street lamps, only the occasional whistling of cars and their own footsteps could be heard, which made people nervous.

He walked briskly towards the bus stop with his head down. Passing through a dark alley between two low buildings, I suddenly heard a voice.

Instinctively, he stopped, listened carefully, although the voice was small, but it was clear, and it felt like some shouting, and there were painful screams. Turning his head, in the open space at the other end of the alley, there were several figures entangled in the faint light, and just by looking at those movements, he knew that it was a fight. He became nervous, this place was not very safe, the population was complex, fights were common, and gangs were involved.

Knowing that this place is not suitable for a long time, hurry up. As he was taking a step, he suddenly felt something strange, stopped again, and slowly turned his head to look at the dark shadows. Some of them had already been knocked down, and the others were kicking them with their feet. But what Wei Taiqiang wanted to see was not this, but the one next to him who seemed to have nothing to do with him and was leaning against the wall on the side and idly holding a cigarette and looking at the sky. It was hard to believe, but the figure was so familiar that even from this distance, he could guess the expression on his cheek.

It's the kind of indifference, as if you're thinking about a lot of things and you don't seem to think about anything.

He has peeked at him smoking countless times, and that boring and lazy look is really handsome beyond description.

Now he is appearing in this posture in a scene that is not so ordinary but he can't tell him, and it doesn't look like a simple passerby.

He always thought that Cao Jiao was in a serious company as a serious manager. Although it is true that with his age and education, if he says it, it will make people feel that the boss's brain is in water, but if he doesn't say it, others can't see the flaw at all.

The people fought for a while, the people on the ground did not move, and the one who was standing nearby turned around and walked to the figure who still seemed to be studying the sky and bent down slightly and said a few words, he nodded, and finally turned his head to the scene of the beating, stood up straight, put his hand in his trouser pocket, and walked slowly into the light.

When the light clearly illuminated the face, Wei Taiqiang's heart still missed a beat, and he woke up suddenly, hurriedly flashed to the side, hid by the wall and carefully poked his head out again.

Cao Jiao threw the cigarette on the ground, lowered his head and slowly crushed it on his toes, and at the same time, the person who was talking to him just now made a look, and two of them came out of his hands and put one and a half on the ground.

The man was beaten to the point that his face was bloodied, and he couldn't stand up at all, and he could only half-kneel on the ground with his head hanging weakly. Cao Jiao's hand in the pocket of his pants didn't move, and his other hand spread to the side, and immediately handed something like an iron rod. He gently picked the man's head with the end of his stick, laughed twice, and began to speak.

Wei Taiqiang condensed, although it was far away, there was a dead silence around it, so he could vaguely hear a few words. He said, "Don't think a few times...... We are easy to bully, I am lazy and generous...... Everyone eats with mixed mouths, so why bother...... It's so unsightly...... It's already a lot of face for Brother Long. If it is changed in Shenzhen, heh......"

He was calm and spoke slowly, and if you just looked at that kind expression, you couldn't imagine that he was threatening and intimidating.

"Go back and tell Brother Long, it's just a little meaning. The sea outside is so wide, there is no need to rush to fill it. ”

The man said something weakly but also as if indignantly, and his face suddenly turned pale, and even the air around him immediately became solemn, but after a few seconds, he raised an eyebrow, stared at the man with a smile, and slowly straightened up.

first lowered his head and laughed a few times, and shook his head: "Damn, it's really not good to communicate in Mandarin, a lot of deep-seated feelings can't be expressed, so I said that so many people still think I'm scared and looking for a way back for myself?" He nodded as if he understood, "Okay, since words are so pale and weak, let's show it with action!" ”

Before the words fell, the man was kicked in the chest, and he didn't even hold the person who was fighting, and the whole person flew out a few meters away, and fell to the ground like a rag.

His feet were too fast, and it wasn't until the human body hit the ground with a heavy "bang" that Wei Taiqiang's exclamation almost blurted out, and he immediately subconsciously covered it tightly.

Seeing the man lying on the ground dying, his eyes didn't even blink, and he walked slowly with a smile, and suddenly one of the few who was lying on the ground staggered to his feet, and shouted at him hoarsely: "Our Xinglong is not easy to bully!" Come back if you have the ability! ”

Someone next to him immediately wanted to go up, but the stick in Cao Jiao's hand was horizontal and stopped. He smiled, still with the same leisurely attitude, and slowly paced in front of the clamoring man, and asked in a good voice, "Come again?" That's all you like? ”

Then he looked up at the sky again, as if talking to himself, as if asking, "What time is it?" ”

The people around me replied respectfully: "It's almost 7 o'clock." ”

"Oh, then I'm going back, you guys should go get something to eat early." He's going to go.

"Big brother might as well ...... with us"

"No need, I should already have something delicious at home." He smiled as if he felt happy just thinking about it, "You guys have worked hard today, go and have fun, it's all mine." ”

"Thank you, big brother."

Suddenly, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with dyed yellow hair pointed to the ground and asked timidly, "Big brother...... What about these people? ”

Cao Jiao looked back at him with a strange expression: "You are new?" He laughed again, "Hehe, can you call an ambulance for them?" "It's like teasing a child, but there is only a ruthlessness in his eyes.

When the boy saw it, he could only retreat in fear, shaking his head, his mouth moving in a slurch, and he did not dare to make a sound.

He looked down at the people at his feet and said contemptuously, "There is no tomorrow for those who can't save themselves." Then he looked at the child, "If you mix in the Tao, you must understand this truth." I understood it when I was younger than you. ”

With that, he walked along the side street that stretched out of the clearing.

He slowly walked past the dazzling street lamps, rubbed his itchy nose, and felt that the bag in his hand was not only a little heavy but also painful because he had been in that position, so he lifted it in a different way. It's also uncomfortable, but it's better than nothing.

His nose was itchy all the time, so he rubbed it with his hands free from time to time, and the bag was constantly changing, and his steps were also very brisk, as if it was much easier than when he just bought shrimp and complained about whether it would be too much.

But there's still no way—

Lightening the weight that had accumulated in his heart, the nothingness that seemed to slowly condense into a larger and larger piece of iron on his heart weighed him down.

It turned out that he already liked Cao Jiao so much.

Or rather, love.

Wholeheartedness is deeper than ever. may even have surpassed the original Xue Yulang.

What's so good about Cao Jiao?

He stood under the blazing street lamp, tilted his head, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth wide. In the way of shouting. It's like a fish trapped in the shallows, desperately trying to breathe. Zilang literature

The knot of not knowing what it is, not knowing why, and not knowing what to do, is surging in the face like these rays.

He wasn't without moral standards, but he still didn't know what to do. Reason told him that the man might not be a good person. And emotion says, so what's the matter?

The fact that two people from the South Pole and the North Pole were able to meet was originally fate.

It was a long time before he slowly lifted his head back, not because he was leaving, but because he heard the roses in the basket that was getting closer and closer to him were still beautiful after a night, but if they could not be sold today, they would fade slightly tomorrow. Without the foundation of life, even if you live in the nutrient mud, you can't last long.

On the shelves on the left are various cacti and cacti.

He cleaned up the shop and took a sprayer and sprayed it left and right on the flower basket a few times, so that a few droplets of water fell on the petals, which looked even more delicate.

The fake flower tubes that are also falling with rubber water droplets are delicately dripping on the ground, and they are arranged in two rows on the left and right, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, always beautiful and dignified, and have a good demeanor.

Finding that the lilies who had spent the night with the rose basket were a little listless, he bent down and lifted the petals with his fingertips, but no, it was too cold for them, and it was not too fresh, and his head was still drooping, and he sighed, hoping that he could sell the last three today, even if it was cheaper.

was about to stand up straight, when he suddenly noticed that there was a dark brown woolen coat, straight trousers, and shiny leather shoes next to him.

He quickly stood up and greeted loudly: "Welcome light...... Pro ......"

The smile was fixed on his face, and even his eyes were frozen with a sudden cold, and he looked straight at the person in front of him, surprised, unbelievable, and overwhelmed.

"Xiao Li." The man smiled at him as if he had stood at the door of his school a long, long time ago, in the golden afterglow, the smile that had warmed him as if he were living in the greatest happiness.

Wei Taiqiang's eyes moved, moved to the side, took a deep breath, and regained his energy and smiled: "Sir, what flowers do you want to buy?" ”

"Xiao Li......"

Footsteps. Wei Taiqiang took the money and the notebook casually, checked it, put it away, and said to him: "Mr. Lou, I said at the beginning that this store is just a flower shop, and there are no goods that have nothing to do with it." If you need anything else, look elsewhere. ”

"So, what about my heart?" He said emotionally, "Can't I get my heart back?" ”

Wei Taiqiang frowned: "Please don't say this kind of thing to me, it will give me goosebumps." If you want to find a heart, you can go to the side of the road and find some dogs, maybe you can know where to go. ”

Xue Yulang paused, figured it out, almost didn't come up in one breath, and couldn't cry or laugh: "You really weren't like this before, but now you have become so awkward, who taught you?" ”

Isn't that what you taught? Wei Taiqiang didn't want to talk to him more, but replied: "If the flowers arrive, we will inform you immediately." ”

Xue Yulang ignored his eviction order and chased after him step by step: "You know that my heart is still on you......"

"Huh?" A voice suddenly came out from behind him, and before he turned around, he was pointed at the tip of his nose by a fritter, "Sure enough, it's you, Xue Yulang!" What are you still doing with us? Yes! ”

"Sister......

"Yikes! Don't call it so affectionate. I am not related to Your Excellency, and I do not want to be related to you. Glancing at him with contempt, he looked at Wei Taiqiang behind him, "Ah Li, did he do anything to you?" ”

Wei Taiqiang shook his head and went into the counter: "Mr. Lou, we will notify you when the flowers are spent, please leave." ”

"Xiao Li, I ......"

"Please don't say strange things to me again, it will make me sick to my stomach."

"I ......"

"Don't you, me, and me, let's go." My sister was chasing flies on the side.

Xue Yulang was unwilling, and made a final effort: "Give me your phone." "Well. That kind of person, it is better to believe in him than to believe in ......"

Wei Taiqiang looked up at her.

She immediately shut up, held up the soy milk and shook it at him, grinned, and turned to go out.

When Wei Taiqiang sorted out the account books, she came back, and the newspaper replaced soy milk.

Wei Taiqiang came out, she just went in to fill the vacant seat, leaned back comfortably in the chair, and read the newspaper time. "When will the king come back?"

"Huh?" Wei Taiqiang wiped the vase for a long time before he came back to his senses, "What did you say?" ”

She propped up half of her body, lay on the counter, and said word by word: "Let me ask you, when will that king return to Guangzhou?" ”

"Oh, I don't know." Wei Taiqiang turned back to the vase in his hand, "He said to go home for the New Year, at least he has to come back after the New Year, right?" ”

"I thought he would come back when he went back and saw it. Didn't you tell him that you had to be alone for the Chinese New Year this year? ”

"Nope." It's useless to say it, right? Seeing him get on the car so excitedly, I heard that he was going back with a long vacation, how could he be willing to come back without three or two weeks?

"Then you can go back to your hometown with us."

He smiled: "No need, there are so many relatives, I don't know them." ”

"Do you know each other if you've seen it?" Seeing that he did not answer, he said, "Then what can you do alone?" ”

Wei Taiqiang smiled: "I'm alone every year, and it's not just this year." ”

"Then you have someone to accompany you in previous years, and you are not really alone. Forget it, I'm not going back. Running like this every year, and seeing so many relatives, it's exhausting. The two of us had a good time. ”
