Chapter Ninety-Nine: Meetings
Just as she hesitated, a beam of light shone straight from behind her, piercing through the rain curtain and reflecting half of the dark alley.
Even the falling rain can be seen clearly.
Zhong Yi turned back with some confusion and looked at the source of the beam, and from a few steps away, he could see the person standing in the rain with an umbrella as the light blurred his vision.
She was a little surprised, and her exhaled voice also changed its tone: "An Shu! How did you end up here? β
Holding an umbrella, An Shu walked in front of her in a few steps, the flashlight in his hand was not turned off, hanging down to his side, and the beam of light shone obliquely on the ground, forming a faint circle of light.
The rain kept falling, making splashes on the ground, and I could only hear his shallow smile, with a little teasing, and softly fell into Zhongyi's cochlea.
"Why don't you run out without wearing a little more, you're really stupid."
An Shu put the flashlight under his armpit, untied the scarf wrapped around his neck with one hand, put it on Zhongyi's neck, and circled it twice, because his left hand was not free, and his right hand was just wrapped around it at will, which could also keep out the cold.
Zhong Yi lowered his head slightly, and smelled the faint fragrance on the scarf between his nose, the fragrance was a little unfamiliar, it should be that he changed to another brand of laundry detergent.
"Where are you going?" There are two forks out of the alley, each extending in different directions, and it is not uncommon to meet here, and she can't guarantee that she can still stop by the alley.
"Convenience store."
Zhong Yi raised his eyebrows, and it was really on the way.
An Shu silently glanced at her expression and guessed that the direction the two were going was the same place.
"Aunt Ann is back?" Mr. An and Mrs. An are busy with work almost every day, and they come home late, so An Shu's three meals a day are almost contracted by her family, except for not sleeping at her house.
So when An Shu said to go to the convenience store, she directly guessed that Mrs. An should have come back from work, and asked him to go to the convenience store to buy daily necessities.
"Hmm." An Shu nodded, picked up the flashlight caught under his armpit and held it, passed past her, and walked in front of her, his pace was extremely slow, as if waiting for her to catch up.
A cold wind blew across her face, and a rain swept mercilessly past her sides. The coldness added to his body, Zhong Yi couldn't help but shiver, and pulled the scarf to his face, covering the bridge of his nose, and the entire nasal cavity was filled with the fragrance on the scarf.
She still liked the scent of the laundry detergent he used to use.
The short journey was extraordinarily smooth, and the slippery moss couldn't make any big waves under her feet, and unexpectedly, she didn't fall a dog or eat or fall on all fours, and the road was unimpeded.
Out of this alley, continue to walk a few steps towards the fork in the road to the left, and turn into another alley, which is obviously wide and has a few bright lights compared to the narrow and dark alley just now, and it is not a problem to vaguely clear the road under your feet.
An Shu turned off the light on the flashlight, holding the umbrella and Zhongyi in parallel, he was a head taller than her, and the umbrella he was holding was obviously higher than her umbrella, and the rain that slipped down from his umbrella surface dripped on her umbrella surface again, and finally fell to the ground.
For him, this is not necessarily a good thing.
even made him too distressed, should he use the same way to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, the effect is obvious, and he is the one who suffers.
Zhong Yi mischievously turned the umbrella in her hand, and the rain on the umbrella surface was thrown out, and it was easy to splash on An Shu, but she had no intention of stopping.
"Favorite." An Shu stopped, slightly tilted his head to look at Zhong Yi, and his face was expressionless.
"Hmm." Zhong Yi lazily responded, and continued to walk forward, and after walking a few steps and seeing that he had not followed, he stopped and stood where he was, and glanced back at him.
Although there were a few dim lights in the alley, Zhong Yi couldn't see his face under the umbrella through the rain curtain, and between the dim light and shadow, An Shu collected the cold breath around him, opened his legs, and walked towards her calmly.
"Don't be so naΓ―ve next time, okay?" An Shu's deep voice slowly exhaled, especially clear in the sound of rain, exactly one syllable, accurately burrowed into Zhongyi's cochlea. The eyes that looked at Zhong Yi were full of a bit of inquiry.
Zhong Yi blinked: "......"
In this comparison, she was defeated by a little brat.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The 24-hour convenience store soon came into view, with light in front of the transparent glass, and in the dark street of shops around, the incandescent lights were still lit up, which was extremely dazzling.
Zhong Yi put away the umbrella, stood at the door and shook off the rain on it, and when she turned to push open the glass door, An Shu put her hand on the metal doorknob and pushed open another door, walked in with her feet raised, and stood on the side of the door, her hand still on the doorknob and not withdrawn.
Zhongyi walked sideways behind him, wandering straight towards the snack area. An Shu withdrew his hand and walked towards the area where the daily necessities were placed on the shelves.
After each of them finished selecting the items to buy, they met at the cash register. Zhong Yi held a lot of snacks in her arms, plus Zhong's mother always reminded her not to forget the soy sauce she bought, and stood quietly aside, waiting for the checkout to be finished.
An Shu looked at the cashier being filled with snacks with an expressionless face, frowned, and his eyes fell on Zhongyi, "Aren't you sick to your stomach?" How can you still buy so many snacks. At the same time, he handed the battery in his hand to the cashier and scanned it, and then paid for it.
Zhong Yi was lowering his head and filling the bag with this month's stored grain, when he heard An Shu's words, he was surprised at first, how did he know that he had an upset stomach? She didn't say anything. quickly regained his composure, and the two families couldn't hide anything at all, knowing that it was also within the normal range, "Can't I spend the winter in tun." β
When the campers heard Zhong Yi's righteous words, they couldn't help but almost laugh, and their whole face turned red.
Anshu: "......"
When I walked out of the convenience store, the rain had stopped, and the ground was wet, and I was holding a large bag of snacks in one hand and an umbrella in the other.
When she reached the fork in the road, An Shu remembered that she had forgotten to buy something, so she asked her to go back first without waiting for her, and handed her the battery and flashlight in her hand, and saw her figure drifting away and running in the opposite direction.
Twenty minutes later, An Shu stood at the door of Zhong's house panting, waiting to ease his expression, raised his hand and rang the doorbell, it was Zhong Yi who opened the door, and he was obviously preparing to sleep in his pajamas.
"Yasuki."
"Here's for you, take one before bed." An Shu stuffed the stomach medicine he bought in his hand into Zhong Yi's hand, paused and said, "This is a chewable medicine, you don't need to take it orally." β
"You just said that you forgot to buy something and went to buy medicine for me, but I still want to thank you, Anshu." Zhong Yi bent his eyes with a smile, opened the medicine box and took out a plate of medicine, cut through the protective film of the medicine, and chewed one in his mouth.
Sweet and sour, not bitter.
"Good night." An Shu saw that she had taken the medicine, so she was relieved, left two words and turned around and left the Zhong family.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the end of the two-day vacation, Zhong Yi had to crawl out of the warm quilt early, get dressed and washed.
When she washed her face and brushed her teeth, she returned to the room and prepared to wipe some winter moisturizing skin care products, the mobile phone in front of the desk rang, and it was "Xu Huaisheng" that jumped into her eyes, and then there was a message below.
After reading the text message, Zhongyi's face changed, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly ate a few bites of breakfast and rushed out of the house with his schoolbag. It just so happened that An Shu had just closed the door of the house, and as soon as he locked it, he saw a figure flash by the door.
Then the figure that flashed through the doorway returned.
"Quick! Bus No. 11 will arrive in a few minutes! Zhong Yi raised his wrist to look at the time that kept flowing on his watch, and urged him anxiously.
Seeing that Zhongyi kept urging him to hurry up, An Shu's first reaction was whether Zhongyi took the wrong medicine today? He obviously bought stomach medicine yesterday!
If Xu Huaisheng hadn't sent a text message to inform her that the student union would have a meeting at half past seven today, she should have attended as the deputy class president, and emphasized that she must be on the scene, even if she doesn't say a word as an ornament, she must appear!
For this fatal text message, Zhongyi couldn't eat the meal, and he didn't even have time to change his school uniform and went out of the house directly.
When the two of them ran to the bus stop, No. 11 staggered and just stopped in front of the stop sign, and then before the stone hanging in Zhongyi's heart finally put down, he was stunned by the scene of waiting in line to get on the bus.
She forgot that today was Monday, and not only did they start school, but a busy week for office workers had also begun, and the activity center for the elderly had begun to be overcrowded.
Then they were idle and had nothing to do, and when they were busy, they grabbed seats and occupied the number of people.
Before Zhong Yi came back from the shock, Zhong Yi was already grabbed by An Shu's wrist and squeezed onto the bus, stood all the way in a crowded manner, and got off the bus again.
She looked confused the whole time.
After separating from An Shu, Zhong Yi quickly ran to the third middle school, and as soon as he entered the campus, he ran non-stop to the science teaching building, and even when he ran upstairs, he brought his own wind.
The meeting started at half past seven, and now it is only six forty-five, although it is still early, but it is the first time for her to participate in this kind of daily meeting between cadres, she is a complete novice, and she does not understand anything.
I'm afraid that there will be some mess in the middle, so I want to go to school in advance to prepare and prepare, so I can't embarrass the first class. But half of the reason is based on Xu Huaisheng's text message, she is more afraid that she will not know anything at the scene, and then she will be looked down upon by him.
A small meeting, but she sees it more than anything else.
Zhong Yi walked into the classroom, and was surprised to find that the classroom could be described as empty, and the classroom that used to be full was only three people at the moment. Zhong Yi was a little puzzled, thinking to himself where this person had gone? When she patted her head, she remembered that everyone had gone to the flag-raising square.
Why are you so forgetful today? Is it difficult to grow old? Zhong Yi muttered quietly, walked to his seat and put down his school bag, and then began to take out a pen and paper to do his homework.
Xu Qing carried the breakfast she had just bought from outside, and as soon as she entered the classroom, she saw Zhong Yi sitting in her seat, and ran to her side and greeted: "Morning, Zhong Yi." How was the two-day holiday? Pleasant or not! β
"Uh-huh, nice and pleasant." Zhong Yi replied to her without raising his head, and suddenly smelled the fragrant smell of breakfast in the air, and his stomach barked out of place.
Xu Qing smiled "hehe", and generously shared the breakfast she bought with her favorites: "If you don't mind, let's eat together, I just bought a lot." β
When she went out in the morning, she ate a few mouthfuls of rice to cushion her stomach, and bumped all the way, and that bit of food had already been digested.
Hearing Xu Qing say this, Zhong Yi raised his head and glanced at her, and unceremoniously took out a hot bun from the bag and ate it.
As he ate, he said to her, "Thank you." β
