Chapter 128: The Small World You Occupy
Xu was just raining, the temperature was low and a little cold, Zhongyi only had a school uniform on his body, although he wore a knitted sweater as a base, he couldn't resist the cold at all, and couldn't help but shiver a few times.
An Shu walked beside her, glanced at her, stretched out a finger, and easily hooked her hand hidden in the cuff, his fingertips suddenly became cold, his eyes sank, and his voice was low: "Is it cold?" β
Zhong Yi looked at the road ahead without squinting, his lips trembled, and he spit out a word from his mouth with a trembling: "Cold ......"
The dim light passed eerily over his face, and Anshu's eyes lit slightly, and the hand that shallowly hooked her fingers slowly covered the entire palm, and was tightly held in his wide palm.
As soon as the palms of his hands were warm, Zhong Yi's already numb fingers began to slowly regain consciousness, the corners of Zhong Yi's lips were slightly hooked, and the corners of his eyes secretly glanced at the young man who had grown up on his side, once upon a time, she also held his hand like this, and he only reached her chin at that time.
Zhong Yi moved his fingers appropriately, and just wanted to withdraw it from his hand, but was held tighter by An Shu, and his low voice sounded in his ears: "Don't move, the road is slippery." β
On the bluestone slab road that has rained, a lot of rainwater has accumulated in the groove, the back alley is located in the shade, every time it rains, the road surface is dried for a few days, and over time a lot of moss grows on the bluestone slab, and the road is extremely slippery when it rains.
Zhong Yi lowered his eyebrows, put one hand in his pocket, and held the other hand tightly in his palm, his eyes looked intently at his feet, for fear that one would accidentally fall to the ground.
Soon, the steaming wonton stall came into view.
Although it was night, there were still a few tables of customers sitting in the booth, and the small sound of conversation came into the cochlea, which was not noisy, but added a bit of comfort.
The boss set up a cauldron, and the water in the pot boiled, constantly bubbling white gas, blurring the face of the boss standing behind the pot.
An Shu let go of the hand that had been holding Zhong Yi tightly, and chose a small table in the middle to sit down, but he also avoided the proximity of the guests at the opposite table and kept a relative distance.
Zhong Yi pulled out a chair and sat down, put the schoolbag he was carrying on the chair on his right hand, and raised his voice to the boss who was cooking wontons: "Boss, two bowls of wontons." She looked at An Shu again, squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "It's okay to eat a little, um." β
Soon, the boss brought two bowls of hot wontons, put them on the table, said "use slowly" in an old voice, turned around and walked back to the pot, and continued to look after the wontons in the pot.
Zhongyi took out two pairs of disposable chopsticks from the bamboo tube, handed a pair to An Shu, tore the outer packaging neatly, and couldn't wait to pick up the wontons with chopsticks, put them to his mouth, blew hot air, and put them in his mouth.
The look of satisfaction on his face was happier than eating the delicious food of the world.
"Taste it, it's delicious." Zhongyi picked up another chopstick ravioli, blew the hot air, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
An Shu tore open the chopsticks packaging bag with a little hesitation, raised his eyes to look at Zhongyi, picked up the wonton and tasted it lightly, his lips and teeth were filled with the aroma of wonton meat, which instantly aroused his taste buds.
After eating a few in a row, An Shu put the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, pushed the bowl forward, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth.
It's really just a little bit......
Zhong Yi looked at the number of wontons in the bowl that had obviously not decreased, sighed lightly, and did not persuade him to eat more, so he naturally asked, "What time is dinner?" β
"Seven."
"Hmm." Zhongyi lowered his head and continued to eat the wontons in his bowl.
Ruan Ruan was talking with her friends about where to play, and glanced at the wonton stall she was passing by, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she saw An Shu's figure, she paused and said to a few friends around her, "You guys go play, I won't go." β
"Huh? What's going on? Someone looked at her in confusion, and just now they were talking passionately about where to play, and this change of hexagram was too sudden.
"It's just, didn't you say you were going to play, why didn't you go again?" Another person chimed in.
Ruan Ruan raised his hand and flicked the bangs in front of his forehead, hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "This doesn't meet a friend of mine who often doesn't see each other, so I have to go up and say a few words." β
As soon as the girls heard the word "friend", they sighed for a while, and they all risked gossip to ask Ruan Ruan if the other party was a man or a woman.
Ruan Ruan immediately rolled his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the silhouette of An Shuqing, thinking that An Shu could be something that you ordinary people could know, and refused: "Superficial!" Tacky! β
"Uh-huh, needless to say, it's definitely a boyfriend."
The girls also put away their playfulness, laughed and teased her a few more words, and then walked away.
Looking at their figures gradually moving away, Ruan Ruan turned on his toes and walked straight to the wonton stall, his eyes were always on An Shu's body and never left, and he bent his lips and smiled: "An Shu." β
An Shu shifted his gaze slightly, raised his eyes to follow the prestige, Ruan Ruan looked at him with a decent smile, met his gaze, his eyes were cold, and in the next second, Ruan Ruan's heartbeat seemed to miss half a beat.
She raised the corners of her lips again, her eyes were bright, and she greeted again in a clichΓ© way that she didn't match her: "Hey! Long time no see, Anshu. β
An Shu frowned, glanced at her expressionlessly, looked away, and his gaze fell half-down on Zhong Yi's right hand holding the chopsticks, his eyes were still cold.
didn't respond, and didn't bother to look at her.
An Shu's attitude towards Ruan Ruan has always been so cold and cold, and there is no temperature at all.
Even after being poured cold water by him, Ruan Ruan still did not flinch, and continued to maintain a smile that made a good impression, staring at him with burning eyes.
Zhong Yi held the chopsticks, only to feel that the sound in her ears was too familiar, she raised her head slightly, and looked at the opposite side through the hot air rising from the bowl, just to meet Ruan Ruan's bright gaze, and a smile spread from her lips.
"Nguyen Nguyen."
This very rock-punk girl gave her a deep memory.
Ruan Ruan raised his hand and waved, his eyebrows and eyes half bent, "Zhongyi." β
"What a coincidence, sit down. It's so late, you're alone? Zhong Yi put down his chopsticks and looked at the road outside the stall, and there was no one on the road. The orange street lamps reflect the bluestone pavement, casting a faint circle of light, which looks a little lonely.
"No, with friends." Ruan Ruan pulled out the chair opposite An Shu, sat down, put his arm on the edge of the table, and talked to Zhong Yi: "I just walked around from the food festival, and I happened to meet you when I passed by. β
Zhong nodded, there was a new food festival near this street not long ago, she had been there a few times, unlike the bustle over there, the back alley here can be described as very quiet.
"Have you eaten?" Zhong Yi asked a very idiotic question.
"Hmm. Eaten. Ruan Ruan held his cheek with one hand, glanced at most of the wontons in the bowl of Zhongyi, and said with a smile: "But I haven't eaten much, and I haven't filled my stomach yet." β
Zhong Yideng understood what she meant, and shouted to the boss who was busy: "Boss, have another bowl of wontons." β
Ruan Ruan held her cheeks like this, and her eyes looked directly at An Shu opposite, she could always provoke all kinds of topics, any topic about him, but it was always extinguished by An Shu's indifferent attitude, and Ruan Ruan's enthusiasm could not be extinguished.
Zhong Yi looked at the two of them silently, completely ignored by them, and couldn't brush up on his existence, let alone join the topic of Ruan Ruan's reverse thinking. She picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup to ward off the chill on her body, and then buried her head in eating the wontons in the bowl.
Ruan Ruan raised his hand and touched his nose, looking at An Shu's expressionless face on the other side, he frowned a little unhappily, and finally lost his patience, "Hey, can you give a reaction?!" β
"Be quiet!" An Shu glanced at her lightly, the alienation in his voice was obvious, he was deliberately suppressing his anger, but his eyes betrayed him.
In his definition, Ruan Ruan is classified as a "stranger", who knows but is not familiar with each other, and there is no need to waste time talking, which will only add to the other party's troubles.
Favorites are an exception.
From snatching his doll at the beginning, to bullying him every day, and then to ending the "war" between the two, at that time, Zhongyi had already entered his world unconsciously and stayed there for a long time.
An Shu can't treat other girls like he treats Zhongyi, he can't do it, and he doesn't want to do it, in his heart, as long as he has Zhongyi, it's enough.
The boss came up with a bowl of hot wontons, interrupting the condensed atmosphere between the two in time, Zhong Yi always maintained the posture of eating with his head down, although he paid attention to the changes on the table, but also ignored Ruan Ruan's enthusiasm and An Shu's tolerance limit.
She couldn't help but secretly think that it would be a challenge for An Shu to meet Ruan Ruan in this life.
"It's okay to let me be quiet, you have to promise me one condition." How could Ruan Ruan not hear An Shu's deliberately suppressed anger, so he intensified even more.
Anshu: "......"
"Ahem, Ruan Ruan, wontons are just to be eaten while they are hot, I don't believe you can taste them." Zhong Yi raised his eyes slightly, glanced at An Shu, who was expressionless, and still interpreted his current mood from his frowning movements, which was very hot!
In order not to let things end up getting out of hand, she stepped forward to stop it.
"Zhongyi, are you free for this Saturday and Sunday?" Ruan Ruan looked at her with a smile, and her mind seemed to shift from An Shu's body to her, "I just have three tickets for the aquarium here, just this Saturday and Sunday, let's go and see it together." β
Zhong Yi frowned and thought for a while, she couldn't get out of her body at all on Saturdays and Sundays, reviewing and brushing questions and doing a lot of homework, and every time she arrived at the rest day, she was extra much, making her dizzy, and there was not enough time, so how could she have any spirit to go out and play.
"No, I still have to review."
"Ah......" Ruan Ruan looked lost, and the little girl who was full of spirit instantly languished: "Do you have to refuse so bluntly." You can watch the sea creatures while you review, how about it. β
Zhong Yi shook his head, obviously without any hesitation this time: "I really can't go, I'm sorry." β
"Okay." Ruan Ruan said weakly, picked up chopsticks and began to eat wontons.
The whole table fell into silence for a long time.
