Chapter 9: Shopping

The rooms are very basic, there is no separate bathroom, but the hygiene is OK. I chose a room next to Hu Shanshan and checked her room again to make sure everything was safe before leaving. At this time, Hu Shanshan suddenly stopped me, squirming and pinching as if she had something to say, but it was difficult to speak.

"Lu Xia, you ...... Can you go buy me something? ”

"What to buy?"

"Pads"

"What?"

"It's the square one, it's about this big......"

I was a little embarrassed, scratched my scalp, and asked her why she didn't ask Wang Yuqing for one, and she might have it.

Hu Shanshan frowned and said, "I asked, and I won't trouble you if I have anything." ”

At this time, I remembered that when I was in the car, Hu Shanshan didn't want to get out of the car too much, and she didn't want to walk. It turns out that this is the reason, and I can't help but feel some sympathy when I think of this.

"Well, you lock the door, I'll buy it for you."

After running a long way to find a small supermarket, I took some girls' supplies and threw them into the shopping basket with an open-minded mentality, and picked out some snacks to mix together, and went to the checkout as if nothing happened.

There is no self-payment in the small supermarket, but the cashier will not ask me why I want to buy sanitary napkins, maybe my boyfriend buys this kind of thing for girls, which is not unusual.

The small hotel is not for catering, and the restaurants are closed for the New Year, so we have to give some money to let the proprietress help us cook quick-frozen dumplings.

I handed the dumplings to the proprietress and thanked her and went to Hu Shanshan's room to make an errand.

Seeing me messing around and buying a bunch of things, she was angry and funny.

"Lu Xia, what have you bought here!"

"I didn't know which one would be suitable, so I took a few more. …… How? Nothing that works? ”

Hu Shanshan smiled and asked, "Then what are you doing with so many snacks?" Afraid that tomorrow there will be no suitcase to push, and there will be no place to put your hands? ”

"What words! I'm just worried that you, a southerner, can't get used to eating dumplings, and I'm afraid that I'll starve you! ”

Hu Shanshan stretched out her hand and pulled it twice, picked up a bag of dried beans and looked at it, and said with disgust: "Then you can also buy something that can be eaten!" What is this? Don't know what girls like? ”

"I really don't know about this," I scratched my neck and asked her, "What do you like?" ”

Hu Shanshan gasped, shook her head and said, "Lu Xia, I know why you are single!" ”

After speaking, Hu Shanshan picked up a square object and grabbed the door.

After eating the dumplings, they went back to their rooms to rest, thinking about Zhao Ziwu's words, I was still a little worried, so I chatted with Hu Shanshan through the wall about WeChat. She is still like that, trying to squeeze me without saying a few words, but there is some ambiguity in the meanness, which makes people frustrated and excited at the same time.

Chatting and chatting, Hu Shanshan suddenly said, "Hey! They're starting, so noisy! ”

I was stunned for a long time before I understood what she meant, because Hu Shanshan's room was between me and Zhao Ziwu, and the partition of the room was gypsum board, not soundproof.

"Let's just do it!" I was afraid of going off the rails of this kind of topic, so I changed the subject and asked, "What did you say to your parents?" ”

Hu Shanshan replied to me for a long time: "I told the truth, I didn't dare to lie, because I wasn't sure if I would be able to go home tomorrow." ”

"I'm sorry"

I feel guilty in my heart, she came to Wu City because of me, I could have gone directly to her city to meet, so no disaster would have happened.

"I don't blame you, it's our bad luck."

"It's because of me that I'm unlucky. There are so many fun cities, why did you choose Wushi! ”

"Well, you should take me to Sanya."

I should have laughed at this time, but I couldn't. I was inexplicably sad at the mobile phone screen, and said to myself: Don't worry, Shanshan, as long as you want, I am willing to take you to any city, and I can take you to see any scenery......

"Don't worry! Will be able to go home tomorrow."

I don't dare to make promises because I'm not sure I can do it.

Before I met Hu Shanshan, I had an online relationship with another girl. She is also a very good-looking girl, and she is kind and sensible. I have written countless travel plans for her, from Daocheng to Dunhuang, from snow-capped mountains to deserts. I also made a promise to her that I would accompany her on the farthest road and to the most beautiful places. But then I broke my promise, and I didn't take her anywhere except to travel thousands of miles to meet her.

Everyone has had their own youthful frivolity! It is also because of these frivolity that I later have self-awareness. I think I've gone through that age, and now when I face feelings, I think I will be more rational and responsible.

"Lu Xia, actually...... I have something very important to do, so I have to go back. ”

"It's very important!"

"You won't understand. I don't have the same chic as you see. ”

I don't know what Hu Shanshan's words mean, but there is an inexplicable sour taste in my heart, like a lemon tree growing in my chest, with abundant rain, it is growing wantonly, and its branches are luxuriant.

"Don't think about it, I'll be able to go home tomorrow."

I didn't know what I was supposed to say, and I didn't even dare to ask, afraid that if I asked, she would answer, and then hear answers I didn't want to know.

When I saw her under a huge wreath in the station square, I knew in my heart that God would not really care for me like that. Just like the end of the previous online dating, that girl has her own world in a life that I can't see, some people accompany her to the snowy mountains, and some people accompany her to the desert. There is no one who is who.

Sometimes we are willing to numb ourselves and think that what is out of your gaze is static. Just like when we left campus, for a long time we thought that the campus was still the same as you had seen it, as if you would still be able to meet your classmates in the cafeteria as long as you went back.

However, our world is parallel, and while you eat, sleep, and date, others have their own stories going on.

While I was thinking about it, my mother called and reprimanded me for why I hadn't come home yet. I don't have the courage of Hu Shanshan to tell the truth, and I just make up a reason to prevaricate. When I hung up the phone, I began to toss and turn, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw the picture of martial law in the whole city during the day.

I don't know when I fell asleep, and I don't know how the door to my room was opened. When I woke up the next day, I saw Hu Shanshan combing my hair in my room, and she saw me awake from the mirror, and just said lightly: Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!

My brain still needs to buffer to function properly, and I muttered, "Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

"Yes! On my side, the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve is not so quiet, and you can't sleep because of the noise of firecrackers. ”

"Fireworks are now banned"

"Hey!" Hu Shanshan sighed. "In ancient times, firecrackers were set off to ward off disasters and avoid disasters, a tradition that has existed for thousands of years."

"Well, that's why it's ...... here" When the words came to my mouth, I found that I couldn't say that, after all, the ban on fireworks and firecrackers is also to protect the environment, and it can't help but feel ridiculous when it is associated with the current epidemic.

"Huh? Why haven't you gotten up yet? It's time to get up! ”

"Why are you combing your hair in my room? It's inconvenient for me to get out of bed when you're here. ”

"I don't have a mirror in that room." Hu Shanshan turned her head as she spoke, looking at me with a strange expression. "Why is it inconvenient? You don't like to sleep naked, do you? ”

"You go to the bathroom and comb it! I'm going to get up. "I put the quilt together, a little embarrassed" A physiological phenomenon in the morning of boys, please understand. ”

On Chinese New Year's Eve, there are fewer cars on the road, and it is difficult to take a ride to Xishui. Zhao Ziwu called his subordinates and wanted him to drive over to pick them up, but he was refused! After listening to a lot of reasons from the other party, there was hatred on his face.

In fact, it is understandable that you are a leader and not a boss, and it is already benevolent and righteous to be able to borrow your car, so there is no need to scold you too much.

"What do we do now? Walking to Xishui? Hu Shanshan said and looked around, and couldn't help despairing: "I don't even have a shared bicycle." ”

I opened the map on my phone to find the location of Xishui, calculated the distance, and the answer was overwhelming.

"Let's see as we go, if you have a car, if you don't have a car, you can continue walking."

Wang Yuqing was a little broken, and shouted: "This ghost place, I don't want to come here in my life." ”

The crowd fell silent and silently began the long and arduous trek. The weather was just as bad, there was no sun, no wind, and sometimes the sound of cars running over the road in the distance was clearly recognizable.

The four of them discussed it and decided to walk. But out of undesperation, I still hope that a miracle will happen, or I have a fluke mentality, and I look back as I walk.
