Chapter 149: Hungry
Xia Chongming carried her mobile phone and keys in her pocket, and trotted all the way to the entrance of the community, where she was going to a relatively large shopping mall near her, where there was not only a large supermarket but also a small hot pot that she was thinking about.
I didn't have a lot of fun eating on Gulou Street that day, but something like that happened in the middle of the game, so she must make up for that day's share today, and she will have the strength to embark on a new journey tomorrow.
She found a shared bicycle at the entrance of the community, and it only took her ten minutes to ride there, which was not very far. Xia Chongming took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the scanning page, and was just about to bend down and raise his mobile phone to scan the QR code on the shared bicycle, when suddenly the corner of his eye swept away, and the whole person paused.
She felt as if a person had walked behind her, and that person flashed past her, looking like a woman, although she could see it very vaguely, she could feel that the person's body was very well proportioned, and her face was also beautiful. The most important thing is that temperament, which actually made her feel a sense of vicissitudes.
Although she couldn't see clearly, the person's appearance definitely didn't match his temperament. The man gave her a feeling of great familiarity, and it even felt a bit like she had walked past her......
Xia Chongming hurriedly turned around, holding the mobile phone in his hand and looking around in a panic, but he couldn't find the figure she had just seen.
Not to mention a figure, there was not even a person in a circular area with a radius of ten meters from her, only one after another, row after row of shared bicycles around her. The shared bicycles are colorful and green, and the body glows sporadically in the sunlight.
Xia Chongming shielded the dazzling sunlight with his hand, turned around, and looked at it carefully. But there is still no one to see, only the cars coming and going on the street, at this time everyone should stay at home watching TV and eating, and occasionally someone passes by and is also a takeaway brother riding an electric car.
Xia Chongming's face was puzzled, and she muttered in a low voice: "Is it an illusion......" Her hand slowly put down, her face confused.
Maybe it's her hallucination, after all, she didn't rest well last night, and maybe she still hasn't woken up a little now, so she will have the illusion of Fang Cai. If someone really passed by her just now, she would have been able to see that person even if he walked away.
It seems that she should really hurry up and have a meal, and come back to replenish her spiritual power after shopping. It's not a problem to keep your spiritual power in a state of deficit all the time, isn't it just a hallucination!
She stood for a moment before patting her cheek with her hand to make herself more conscious, then picked up her phone again and scanned the QR code on the car.
"Click! Bike-sharing has been activated! Please use the car in a civilized manner, park the vehicle in the designated location, and wish you a smooth journey! The lock on the machine under the saddle was popped open, and a faint voice announcement sounded.
Xia Chongming helped the car, put the mobile phone back in his pocket, stepped on, and after it was done steadily, he kicked off the pedals, gently kicked the ground with his foot, and rode out leisurely.
Just behind a large tree on the sidewalk behind her, a figure stepped out, wearing a long dark purple dress, and her hair was tied in a braided braid, and she was on her left shoulder. Her face was obscured by the leaves, as if she was looking at Xia Chongming's departing back, and her mouth seemed to be saying something.
Only her voice was muffled by the noise of the road, and nothing could be heard except the engine and the howling of the wind. She turned around and walked into the neighborhood where Xia Chongming lived.
Xia Chongming followed the familiar route and rode all the way. She rushed through the traffic through one intersection after another to finally reach the mall she was familiar with.
It is said that sixty or seventy years ago, the land under Xia Chongming's feet was still composed of backward villages, and all the people who lived here were farmers. Later, the government moved the Electronics Research Institute to this area, and modern technology was introduced into this backward area, so many farmers here became workers, and large areas of the world were changed into high-rise dormitory buildings and asphalt roads.
The mall is located right in the middle of the area, and many years ago it was a humble mud house, and there were only a handful of goods in it, but the people who lived here would come here to buy, and it was the source of people's daily necessities.
Xia Chongming parked the car and bent down to lock the car. When she was done, she looked up at the towering building in front of her.
That's right, the six-storey building in front of you is what the small mud house used to look like after it was renovated. The building is very modern, and there is a large open space in front of the mall, where children sometimes run by, and there are many vendors who place playground equipment. In the window of the mall, there are plastic mannequins, all of whom are posed in fashionable shapes and wearing fashionable clothes. Look to the left of the mall and see the signs of some counseling institutions, large and small food signs. There is also a large parking lot after the play.
It used to be backward, but now it is so prosperous.
The place where Xia Chongming lives can only be said to be an extremely remote corner of the city, even so, it is very prosperous, and there is no trace of backwardness.
I have to sigh at the changes of the times, the development of science and technology, and the hard work of every person here to run this place so well.
She walked towards the mall with a pleasant pace, she entered through the main entrance, and took the escalator directly to the underground, where the small hot pot she had been thinking about for a long time was on the basement floor. Now her stomach has been screaming hungry for a long time, and Xia Chongming feels that he is already hungry with his chest and back!
She couldn't wait for the escalator to carry her down, so she trotted all the way downstairs to the store she frequented, opened the door and found a place to sit.
"Hello, do you need anything?" A waiter walked over with a smile on his face, a la carte order and a pencil in his hand.
Xia Chongming's face also showed a bright smile, she took the pen in the waiter's hand, and said to her: "I'll take a look first, and I'll call you after I'll order it later!" ”
She couldn't wait to take the menu from the waiter's hand, the menu was full of large and small dishes, all the customers needed to check on it, and she went straight to a set of the ones she usually eats. But after finishing the order, I felt that something was missing, so I added a few more.
This is a lot, but Xia Chongming still beckoned the waiter to come over and place an order and paid. She thought to herself: more is more! Anyway, I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time, wouldn't it be nice to eat more? Besides, she ate instant noodles yesterday, and today she is hungry!
As soon as he thought about his diet during this time, Xia Chongming felt very aggrieved, he was always hungry and full, it was not good to go on like this for a long time, and he might even get stomach problems. This human body is not afraid to eat less, nor is it afraid to eat too much, but it is afraid of hunger and a full meal.
But what could she do? Since she came back from Penglai Island last time, she has not rested, worrying all day about whether she will be worried about her life. It is really not easy to sit down and enjoy a hot pot quietly by yourself like now.
Since it's not easy, then she has to enjoy it, after all, there may not be many times like this in the future. Although this trip is about relaxation, she also has to figure out what she wants and what she plans to do in the future.
The dishes were all served quickly, Xia Chongming silently picked up the chopsticks and tasted them the same, still a familiar taste, or a familiar feeling. What's the most relaxing thing in the world? Presumably just a delicious hot pot, right? She admires the capable person who invented the hot pot in the first place.
She really couldn't eat all the things on this big table, but she was very happy with this meal. Xia Chongming patted her round belly, walked out of the door of the hot pot restaurant, and after walking out, she stopped at her feet and glanced back at the familiar store.
I wonder when the next time she will come to eat hot pot again? Will she be alone then?
She shook her head, brushing away the negative thoughts. If she wants to come next time, of course, she will come if she wants to, how can she think like this?
Xia Chongming shook his head, turned around and walked into the supermarket. Most of the basement floor of this mall is allocated to this large supermarket, which can be said to be very affordable. If Xia Chongming came in the morning, he would definitely see a large group of uncles and aunts in the supermarket here to grab vegetables and fruits. It's just that it's noon, and those special fruits and vegetables must have been sold out.
She came here mainly to buy some things for travel, such as instant noodles, biscuits and other things that can satisfy her hunger quickly, after all, she has to climb up when the time comes, and mineral water, she also needs to buy some.
In addition, there are some daily necessities to be used in the hotel, such as small bottles of shampoo and laundry detergent, as well as toothbrushes and toothpaste. Xia Chongming pushed the supermarket's shopping cart around and walked to the fruit and vegetable area.
"The Pavilion Master should be back for dinner today." She looked down at the shopping cart, remembered the refrigerator at home that didn't have anything, and turned around to buy some vegetables and meat.
But it's not a lot to buy, that's the amount tonight, after all, she's leaving tomorrow, and it's going to be bad if you buy too much and put it at home.
After turning around, Xia Chongming walked out of the cashier with a cart, she counted the items on the receipt, and after making sure that it was correct, she packed the things and walked out with the bag in both hands.
When he came out, it was already afternoon, and Xia Chongming still found a shared bicycle from the side of the road, and rode home with his things. She screwed the ingredients upstairs and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw something on the table, Xia Chongming quickly unloaded the things in her hand and walked over to check it.
