Chapter 19: The Second Jump
After a few days, Tu Bai worked tirelessly, condescended to his dignity, and went to Qingman's breakfast stall on time every day to check in.
Because of the failure of his attempt to break through the existing relationship with Wan Ziling, he looked at Qingman more and more unpleasantly. The broken hair that covers his cheeks, the clothes that have not been changed for thousands of years, the simple and greasy kitchen utensils, and the public toilet not far from the stall...... Even when he talked to others, he didn't like it.
"Eh, uncle, is this one from our community just now? How I've never seen him. Qingman accosted an old man while serving dinner.
There are so many people you haven't met, isn't it possible that each of them will introduce themselves to you? Tu Bai dug a spoonful of bean curd and put it in his mouth, and secretly rubbed his belly.
"It turns out that he is Zhao Chengzi? I haven't really heard about him......"
What if you haven't heard of it? Isn't it good to eat radishes and worry about it, and pay attention to the long queue in front of you?! Tu Bai replied again in his heart, completely unaware of how naΓ―ve he was at the moment.
After eating a tea egg, he was about to wipe his hands, when he saw the toilet paper cut in half on the table, and his arm couldn't help hanging in the air.
Jingle bells! At this time, the phone rang.
He reluctantly slapped off the sticky stains and debris on his hands, and directly opened the phone.
It was Lin Jing who called, and he mainly reported two things to him. First, Cao Lulu is a junior in college after the summer vacation, and she wants to come to "Yu Zi" for an internship; The other is the layout of the press conference of the new column of "surplus capital".
"You call Anya in a moment, and dress more elegantly at the press conference...... She is still engaged in writing and writing, and she dresses like an aunt every day, aren't you afraid of scaring her readers?! β
"I tactfully hinted at this, but she insisted that it was her personality, and that she had to be as comfortable as she wanted......"
Opinionated!
Tu Bai rubbed the corner of his forehead with the outside of his wrist with a headache, and impatiently intercepted Lin Jing's unfinished argument, "No need to explain, you go to the mall and buy her a dress with your eyes." Tell her - my exact words: if she doesn't wear it, the press conference will be canceled. β
After hearing this, Lin Jing agreed again and again, and was about to hang up the phone, but heard Tu Bai say, "Wait a minute!" β
Shopping mall - he glanced at this humble illegal stall and said, "Anyway, it's a trip, you can buy seven or eight green lattice cloths, a dozen packs of bamboo chopsticks, and forty or fifty plain white dishes...... There is also a bandana with hair tied up, a white 165 T-shirt and light blue pants......
Lin Jing quickly wrote down the request, but her mind couldn't help but start the car. What is the President doing? Why do you want these things without a beginning or an end?
"Seven sets of clothes first, and then different sneakers." Tu Bai saw Qingman walking towards him, and hung up the phone with a weak heart.
"How are you eating? Is it a place to move? The corners of Qingman's mouth raised an exaggerated smile, but his eyes were full of pickiness and impatience.
"I ...... Haven't eaten well yet! Tu Bai couldn't stand his playful smile, but he didn't know how to argue, so he could only hold his neck stiffly.
"Didn't eat well?" Qingman stepped on the corner of the table with one foot, and deliberately looked at the empty dishes, so he said: "Pity me for this small business, I can't help you even fill your stomach with bowls and plates." β
Who said they wanted to eat dishes? Can't I order another bite to eat?
Tu Bai was so angry with Qing that he lost his temper, and he didn't bother to explain, so he ordered directly: "Another basket of steamed buns, a tofu brain." The steamed buns should be filled with soup, and the tofu brains should be salty. β
Salty, I think you're pretty idle!
Qingman grinded his teeth, knowing that he had been approaching her with ill intentions in the past few days, and before he found out about the various bizarre accidents in Liucai Garden, he could only endure it without moving.
Before he knew it, more than half an hour had passed, and Tu Bai's additional meals had been used up. Qingman was about to go over to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but saw a small car parked silently in front of her.
"President, I've bought something." Lin Jing hurriedly got out of the car, blowing a fragrant wind that was not objectionable.
"Then unload the stuff here!" Tu Bai regarded Qingman as nothing, and casually drew a circle over the stall.
"Here?" Lin Jing was a little incredulous, but when she saw Qingman, she figured it out in an instant - the co-author boss wants to take the initiative in a crisis and do charity public relations!
She beckoned Cao Lulu in the co-pilot to get out of the car, and turned her head to ask Tu Bai: "President, why don't you sit here and give me two more minutes to contact a few TV stations?" β
"What TV station are you looking for? Let's move things down! β
Tu Bai couldn't cry or laugh at Lin Jing's cleverness, he didn't bother to explain to her, and directly passed her and Cao Lulu to explain.
"Uh-oh." Cao Lulu took her eyes off Qingman, as if she had discovered an incredible secret, and she didn't dare to raise her head, so she began to help quietly.
Bowls, plates, baskets, chopsticks...... Even small stools made of solid wood are piled up into a hill. The two girls didn't bother to catch their breath, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they left with a lot of vision.
"What do you mean? Want to open a stall too? Qingman's eyes narrowed, and a cold gaze swept over Tu Bai's face.
"I don't have that hobby!" Tu Bai didn't expect that he could be misunderstood by Qingman like this, and the fire in his heart jumped up more and more. "These are for you!"
οΌοΌ
Qingman stared at Tu Bai in surprise when he heard this, not only did he not have any joy in his eyes about being chared, but there was more disgust like stepping on dog shit. It wasn't until Tu Bai saw that she was uncomfortable that she said coldly: "I warn you for the last time, don't get close to me - for whatever purpose." β
"I don't understand what you mean, shouldn't you be helped by others, shouldn't you show ......" Tu Bai couldn't stand Qingman's cold attitude of standing at the top of the food chain without the slightest emotion, and was arguing but she grabbed her collar head-on.
"Whoever walks close to me will be unlucky!"
Tong! Before Qingman's words landed, he heard the muffled sound of a heavy object landing not far away.
Almost simultaneously, they both looked that way.
When Tu Bai saw what was happening, in an instant, the blood all over his body poured into his brain, as if something was bursting inside, and the overwhelming red filled his eyes.
"Hey, hey! Are you okay? Qingman looked back and felt that Tu Bai was not quite right, and raised his hand to shake it in front of his eyes,
Tu Bai didn't answer, he always felt that the red layer of red yarn and Qingman's questioning were like a silkworm cocoon wrapping him tighter and tighter, forcing him to shrink smaller and smaller, shrinking smaller and smaller, until he was infinitely close to the infant and toddler period that he didn't remember, or even smaller, when there was no other.
Qingman saw that Tu Bai's eyes had lost their brilliance, as if he was confused by something, and hurriedly raised his hand and gave him a hand knife. Seeing him fall straight towards her, he hesitated to reach out for fear of being burned.
