Xiao Zhang smiled and shook his head: "Disappointment is not counted, it's just an accident... It's better if you don't have a girlfriend, save me money for a meal and buy Moutai today, hehe. ”​

"Still not buddy...?" Du Shengzhe raised his fist and jokingly made a gesture to beat him, and the other party apologized again and again.

"So..." Xiao Zhang glanced in the direction where Tong Xiaoqi was sitting, "What is that girl doing here?" Do you get guests during flyers? ”

Du Shengzhe threw him a meaningful look, called Xiaoqi, hooked his index finger, and motioned for her to come over.

"This is our store manager, you can call him 'Brother Zhang', now Brother Zhang needs you to introduce yourself, please."

Xiao Qi quickly took a look at the third "new store manager" in her part-time career, although he was the store manager, he did not give people the seriousness that should have been, but made Xiao Qi feel that this person was humorous and easy-going.

"Hello store manager, my name is Tong Xiaoqi, and I am a part-time worker who came to help our store distribute flyers."

"Oh~ It's part-time, hello hello!" Xiao Zhang looked very enthusiastic, and then put his hand on Du Shengzhe's shoulder, "This guy got you here, right?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Qi nodded.

Xiao Zhang touched Du Shengzhe's shoulder with his fist, and said happily: "Ouch Xiao Du, you can help me hire such a cute girl." ”

She smiles shyly and scratches her head, and when she is complimented, it always makes people feel happy.

"Eh, by the way, Brother Zhang, get us some more flyers." Du Shengzhe clapped his hands and asked for food, "The previous ones accidentally fell to the ground and were invalidated." ”

"Okay, there's a lot of it in the store."

＊

On the way, Du Shengzhe asked Xiaoqi to add his own WeChat, and invited her into the group of the store, saying that the honorarium would be posted in the group, and it would be good to pay attention to it when the time came.

During the leaflet distribution, they also chatted without a word. Xiaoqi suddenly thought of the post she had browsed this afternoon about "parallel space", so she casually said it. She thought that Ah Zhe would be surprised by this, but the other party's expression was indifferent, and she couldn't help laughing the next second.

"You, why are you looking at me like that...?" Xiao Qi avoided his gaze a little.

"You may not believe it." Du Shengzhe blinked his eyes, "... The person who posted it was actually me. ”

​？！

This seemed to make Xiaoqi find the only factual evidence that "he may have come from another time and space", and she asked in surprise, "Really?" You just walked in a strange place like 'parallel space' yesterday? ”

"Yes, I was so panicked at the time..."Du Shengzhe said as he took out his mobile phone to show Tong Xiaoqi the call record, "At that time, I called our store manager for help, okay, although a call doesn't prove anything, at that time, I was just looking forward to going out quickly, and I didn't care about what pictures I took, believe it or not, it depends on yourself." ”

Xiao Qi didn't continue, thinking about knocking Du Shengzhe on the side of his guess yesterday.

"If one day, you're done doing the store a favor... Where will it go? ”

He glanced at her and replied, "I'm not local, of course I'm back to where I belong." ”

"Where is it?"

Her urgent questioning made Du Shengzhe somewhat suspicious, wondering if this girl knew or guessed something.

But his face did not change: "Hubei." ”

Xiao Qi is good at capturing the subtle changes in a person's facial expression, so even if there is a trace of unhappiness flashing on his face, she can see it.

Since this topic is displeasing to Ah Zhe, let's stop it.

"Oh... I, I'm also from Hubei. Xiao Qi smiled awkwardly, maybe she would never get a mystery about this person's life experience.

"It's good, we're fellow countrymen, at least we'll have a chance to meet in the future."

"Hey, yes." Xiao Qi was surprised and relieved by what he said, and it would be a pity if a friend who could be relied on became like strangers to each other because of a lack of contact.

"That's all for today." Du Shengzhe patted a stack of leaflets on the palm of his hand and said, "I'll put the flyers there for you, and I can send them back tomorrow, and I'll send you back later." ”

＊

The two walked into the subway station during the rush hour, and as Tong Xiaoqi imagined, the train they were going to take was crowded.

Fortunately, a relatively small number of people in the carriage stopped in front of the two, but looking from the outside in, there were no extra vacant seats, and some positions that could be relied on were occupied, so Du Shengzhe had no choice but to choose a place in the middle.

"Xiaoqi, if you feel unsteady on your feet, just hold me on." Du Shengzhe grabbed the safety handrail with his left hand.

"Huh? Oh—" She gently took his arm, feeling it strong and strong.

Xiaoqi always habitually looked around on the subway, and found that several young women who were sitting fine all looked at Du Shengzhe with a look at "beautiful things". She timidly withdrew her gaze and looked up at him, only to find him staring blankly at the route on the small screen on the subway, unaware that he was being watched by some people.

During the whole process, he didn't say a word to her, and Du Shengzhe stood still like an iron pillar, giving Xiaoqi an unprecedented sense of security.

Out of the subway station, Du Shengzhe said to let Xiaoqi lead the way, and he would send her to the door before he could rest assured; In addition to expressing gratitude, Xiaoqi is only full of warmth and sweetness.

Time flies so fast, and when it's time to separate, Tong Xiaoqi and him invariably stopped around a corner.

"Is it in front?"

"Well, that's it."

"You worked very hard to hand out the flyers today, and you made a lot of progress." Du Shengzhe smiled at her softly and waved his hand, "Then, bye~"

"Hmm..."Xiao Qi slowly raised her hand and swung it twice mechanically, "Bye-bye..."

He was not mistaken, although the other party quickly lowered his eyes, Du Shengzhe understood the loneliness and reluctance in the girl's eyes.

It's like being afraid of losing someone.

He propped one hand on the wall, leaned down and jokingly said, "Reluctant to me?" ”

Xiao Qi was stunned by this question, raised his eyes and looked at him steadily, his face was so close to him for the first time, and a pair of eyes seemed to see through everything about her—those unbearable pasts, or pain, despair, struggle, anxiety, and remorse...... This prompted her to turn her head away in a hurry and stammered in defense:

"No, no...! I didn't, I didn't give up on you..."

Du Shengzhe was annoyed by Xiaoqi's flustered appearance.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you, let's go back."

“……”

She blushed, turned and ran away quickly.

It was completely dark, and only the street lamps were tirelessly illuminating the people who passed by.

Du Shengzhe walked on the road, feeling the cool evening breeze blowing his cheeks and hair, and at the same time recalled the details of what happened today and he captured in Xiaoqi's girl:

He found that she was more sensitive and insecure than the average girl. For example, when he said that he wanted to give her a ride before and at the subway entrance, Xiaoqi obviously wanted to refuse him and showed a worried look, but in the end he reluctantly agreed to these small details.

Du Shengzhe looked at the night sky and sighed to himself: "I don't know what you have experienced, so that you are afraid of others being good to you?" ”
