Chapter 177: Coincidence
After eating, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
According to this development, it is certainly not too hungry in the afternoon. Zhuo Xuan, who realized this fact, breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the originally full wallet had dried up, which was enough for him to have heartache for a long time.
"Eh, I still want to eat that!"
Following Alice's gaze, there was a white freezer outside the small street shop, still selling popsicles that had not been sold out in the summer. The child tugged at his mother's hand, his mouth grunched at the fact that he had not agreed to his request to buy a popsicle, tears rolling in his eyes.
"It's so cold, don't eat those......"
"Bring the wallet!"
Ellie unceremoniously reached out and groped around Zhuo Xuan's waist, trying to pull out his wallet, perhaps touching some sensitive parts, which made the latter feel itchy and just wanted to twist his body to dodge.
"Don't make a fuss......"
"Give it to me, give it to me!"
Alice stopped abruptly and slammed her shriveled purse triumphantly, as excited as if she had scavenged loot from her enemies. The corners of Zhuo Xuan's mouth twitched, and he stood on the side of the street silently watching her take out a banknote, and then happily took an ice cream from the shopkeeper's hand.
When she returned to him, the girl had already unwrapped the ice cream, looked at the orange-yellow ice cream, gently wiped it with her tongue, and took another bite, as if it was so cold that her tongue was about to freeze.
"It's so enjoyable," Alice sighed, looking at the ice cream in her hand and taking another bite to the side.
"Is it delicious?"
Just like just now, Alice's appearance made Zhuo Xuan a little inexplicably happy, he felt natural and reassured.
I don't know when it started, this girl who had a slight misunderstanding with herself has become an unforgettable memory in her life.
The wind of deep winter blew from an unknown place, gently blowing, blowing by the two people's sides. Zhuo Xuan's hand was raised, and at the same time, Alice noticed Zhuo Xuan's strange movements.
"What are you...... Shielding me from the wind? ”
She asked.
couldn't hear the feelings contained in her voice, Zhuo Xuan only felt a little trance.
What is the purpose of the subconscious action just now?
"By the way, you just asked me if it tastes good," Alice didn't continue to pester Zhuo Xuan's unnaturalness, but said to herself, "Actually, I don't have any taste when I eat these things." ”
"There is no taste...... How can it be? Zhuo Xuan also deliberately ignored the embarrassment just now, but unconsciously repeated Alice's words.
But that's weird to say.
Just now in the restaurant, she ordered a lot of spicy dishes, and when she ate them, only her lips became more vivid, but she didn't get the slightest feedback on her face.
Is it delicious...... Really tasteless?
Just when Zhuo Xuan was still struggling with this question, Alice's footsteps slammed, her eyes staring straight in a certain direction of the sky, and her face changed several times.
The ice cream in her hand melted slightly, and the creamy liquid trickled on her hand, but the latter's lips trembled slightly, as if he didn't notice it.
"What's wrong?"
Zhuo Xuan followed Alice's gaze and carefully scanned it several times, but still found no disharmony.
Gloomy sky.
Towering buildings in the distance and low bungalows in front of you.
Maybe it's not a meal, the streets are sparsely populated, and the small shops on both sides are crowded. At the end of the food court, there is an occasional car speeding down the road......
There is no discord in everything.
"What are you looking at," Zhuo Xuan looked over and asked again.
"Wait for me here! I'll be right back. Alice's face was a little gloomy, she took a deep look at Zhuo Xuan, handed the melted ice cream in her hand to the former, and wiped the hem of his clothes with a hand that had soiled the ice cream liquid with great speed.
"Hey !!"
Zhuo Xuan, who was petrified in place like a sculpture, was greatly annoyed, he stared blankly at the clean clothes being soiled a little bit, but after reacting, before he could complain, the girl's figure had already run away and suddenly disappeared.
"This guy ......"
……
Standing still and waiting for a while, Alice still did not return.
He didn't think the girl would return anytime soon, and he wasn't sure what had caught her attention so easily that the two men had separated so easily without exchanging any contact information.
Zhuo Xuan suddenly had the illusion that he felt stupid, and he stood alone in the middle of the street, clutching a melting ice cream in his hand. The clerks of the small shops on either side lingered in the doorway, occasionally sweeping the young man with a strange look.
He hesitated for a while, planning to go to Fang Ting first and complete what he had been wanting to do since yesterday.
"Zhuo Xuan?"
A voice of surprise rang out. Zhuo Xuan subconsciously turned his head to look, his pupils shrunk, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to call the other party's name.
Fang Ting.
How could it be so coincidental.
"Why are you here? I'm about to look for you......" Zhuo Xuan said, the latter words stuck in his throat like a fishbone, and he quickly realized a fact.
Fang Ting was here, but the Chosen One named Zhu Zhantu died.
In other words, Fang Ting was not attacked by the beast. The fact that she was able to stand in front of Zhuo Xuan safely was already the best evidence.
"Looking for me?" Fang Ting's face was a little surprised, she was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "Don't you want to see me?" ”
"Don't want to? How could it be," Zhuo Xuan hurriedly argued, but saw Fang Ting, whose face was tense, sneering out loud, and then realized that this was just a joke that was not interesting.
"Okay, we've known each other since we were kids, and I have a lot of adults, not counting so many as you." Fang Ting waved her hand and stuffed the drink in her hand into the black satchel.
Zhuo Xuan's smile was a little reluctant, but he looked behind her along Fang Ting's position.
There is a small shop. Like Alice's previous ice-cream shop, there is no shortage of small shops of this size in this food street.
She had just walked out of there, still holding a bottle of drink in her hand, she should have been shopping in it just now, but Zhuo Xuan didn't notice that there were people there before that.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Not long after Alice left, Fang Ting appeared.
"By the way, what are you looking for me?" Without giving Zhuo Xuan too much time to think, Fang Ting asked, "I plan to go to Huang Lingling's house to play, if you have anything, I'll tell her I'm not going." ”
Zhuo Xuan's gaze lingered on her delicate face for two seconds.
This is a sufficiently obvious hint.
You are more important than everyone else.
As long as you have something to do with me, I can even give up other social activities.
Zhuo Xuan is not a stupid person who doesn't know anything, in junior high and high school, he also had a love affair when he was a student. From that moment on, he realized that he could read the emotions of some people from their facial expressions, and with such an ability, there would be no shortage of European friends and lovers.
It wasn't until his father Zhuo Zhengxiang and mother Geng Qingshu disappeared mysteriously that Zhuo Xuan put all his attention on these burdens that were pressed like mountains, and naturally gave up some things.
At this moment, Zhuo Xuan looked at Fang Ting's familiar and unfamiliar face, and his heart was a little gloomy. He wanted to continue to ask about the events of that day, but he also knew that no one would remember them except for Mao Lin, who was dead.
Including Fang Ting herself.
This girl, who was buried in the flames, woke up in the darkness without anyone watching, and reappeared in front of everyone.
What exactly does she want?
