Chapter 174: A Chance Encounter
Perhaps sensing the sound behind her, the girl who felt keenly turned her head suddenly, and the face of the young man with an embarrassed expression was reflected in her sight, she was slightly stunned, and then smiled again: "It's you." ”
Zhuo Xuan scratched the back of his head, recalling the embarrassing past between the two, he was slightly embarrassed in his heart, he was still worried about Fang Ting, but it was not good to leave immediately, so he had to slowly walk to her side and sit down on the bench.
The fat boss came over with a beer, placed it firmly on the folding table, glanced at Zhuo Xuan with curious eyes, and left silently.
"Have a drink?"
The girl grinned, greeted, and slammed the beer bottle with a flick of her long nails on the cap.
Without waiting for an affirmative answer, she poured the golden liquor into a plastic cup, and slowly pushed it in front of Zhuo Xuan.
Zhuo Xuan hesitated slightly, then grabbed the plastic cup and drank it all, the cold liquid entered the stomach pouch down the throat, and the heavy feeling made him sober up a little.
He looked at the girl again, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm originally from Marina City, why can't I be here?" The girl stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and stared at Zhuo Xuan's slightly embarrassed face with interest, "It's you, are you following me like before!" ”
Stalk the hell!
Zhuo Xuan scolded secretly in his heart, suddenly feeling that this matter was too much of a coincidence.
The students at Tinglin University come from all over the world, and when the winter vacation comes, they all leave the school and return to their hometowns. The girl who had a brief intersection with him happened to meet again in Marina City, and the chance of this kind of thing happening is almost zero. After all, there are hundreds of cities across the country, how can she appear in the same place as herself every time.
"I don't dare to follow you, lest I be regarded as a pervert." Zhuo Xuan's hand fiddled with the empty cup, and his mood was a little heavy, "Do you live around here?" ”
"Almost, right there." The girl said, wiped the mouth of the bottle with her white palm, poured her lips lightly into the mouth of the bottle, and raised her hand to the alley where Zhuo Xuan came.
Looking in the direction pointed by the girl's soft hand, at the end of the dark alley, above the black river, a simple bridge leads to the other side. The south side is always more prosperous, brightly lit, with towering houses lined up and silhouettes clustered together in the dark, looking cozy.
"Living across the river," Zhuo Xuan casually echoed, he didn't know why, and he was inexplicably a little envious in his heart.
", what is across the river," the girl spat and gave Zhuo Xuan a blank look, "Isn't that the bridge I mean?" ”
"You? Living on the bridge? Zhuo Xuan was surprised.
The girl took another sip of wine, and the wine in the bottle had bottomed out, and then she replied sullenly: "Not on the bridge, but under the bridge." ”
There is a shallow shoal under the bridge.
In some stories, such a shoal is definitely a gloomy place for burying corpses, or friends and friends who have an argument by the river and push and fall into the river, and when they come back from the river, they will light a fire on the shallows to dry their clothes...... Fortunately, the city is a peaceful place, the crime rate is low in many surrounding cities, and no one will come under the bridge for no reason, so such a situation will hardly happen, so the girl can seek a place to rest there.
However, when the girl's words fell into Zhuo Xuan's ears, he still had a sense of fantasy.
I didn't expect that when society has advanced to this era, there will still be well-dressed college students who have nowhere to go.
How can there be homeless people?
Even in Zhuo Xuan's situation, there will be a temporary home. In that not spacious house, there are still memories of parents and their childhood, and all the traces of the baptism of time.
Zhuo Xuan knew the identity of the girl's chosen one, and didn't mention anything else, so he had a faint sympathy in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and said with some twist: "There are still empty rooms in my house, if you don't dislike it, you can come to my house to live temporarily." ”
Invite a girl who has only had a few faces to his home, not to mention those unpleasant misunderstandings between each other, if you say it like this, you will be misunderstood as a pervert no matter what......
"Huh?"
The girl's face was a little suspicious, and her cheeks were covered with two red clouds because of the low degree of beer. She stared at Zhuo Xuan's face carefully, as if she wanted to see any traces of conspiracy, but in the end she still didn't find anything, so she had to say slowly: "You want to sleep with me?" ”
Hearing the girl's words, Zhuo Xuan almost thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
His eyes widened, the sympathy in his heart dissipated like a cloud, he stared at the girl with an ambiguous face, and scolded word by word: "Neurotic." ”
"Eh, don't go!"
The girl tried to stop Zhuo Xuan, who got up and left without looking back, but she was reluctant to give up the remaining noodles in the bowl, took a few bites, threw down a banknote on the table, and hurriedly got up and chased after it.
"Didn't you say let me live in your house, I just joked, you can't go back on what you said!"
The girl followed Zhuo Xuan's footsteps and patted the latter's shoulder, but saw a very helpless face, thinking that Zhuo Xuan was going to regret it, and hurriedly said.
"Well, it's better not to mess around with such jokes," Zhuo Xuan took out the key from his pocket and handed it to the girl, "I don't know your name yet." ”
“…… Alice. ”
The girl's white cheeks bulged, and a moment of hesitation was more like a name.
Zhuo Xuan didn't want to dwell on the truth or falsity of the girl's words, let alone explore why a yellow-skinned person had a foreign name, so he just said: "I have something to do now, you go back to my residence first, the specific address is in ......"
Telling Alice the address, Zhuo Xuan was still a little worried, but at this moment, he was even more concerned about Fang Ting's safety, so he didn't care what Alice would do with these keys.
It's just that when Zhuo Xuan hadn't taken a few steps, he heard a rush of footsteps in the dark night.
"Where are you going so late?" Alice put the key in her close-fitting pocket, and the sound penetrated Zhuo Xuan's ears through the cold air, and there was a feeling of unreality.
"A friend of mine may have had an accident, I'm going to see her." Zhuo Xuan glanced at the girl, and was a little expectant to see her wearing a beret on her head, but unfortunately these were just delusions.
"Friend...... Is it a girlfriend? She asked, leaning closer.
Zhuo Xuan didn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, so he inadvertently quickened his pace, and his heart was a little panicked.
