19. I always want to be different but I can't
When I took a shower and cleaned up, the door was pushed open, and Qu Zheng walked in with a large bag.
When I looked at him, I felt a little strange, and he seemed to be in a particularly funny mood and asked me: "Xu Xiaoyuan is hungry and in a daze, look at what lunch I brought you." ”
I consciously sniffed the aroma of beef.
Saying that, he was already sitting on the ground, opening the food box, a bowl of beef noodles per person, two side dishes, and braised eggs.
"This master has traveled through the entire northwest to make the noodles to the extreme, his beef is hard to find, local yak, the meat is marinated in a special sauce, and then taken off when it is half air-dried, roasted and stewed, so the entrance is chewy and not too hard..... "Qu Zheng told me warmly while eating.
After eating, he glanced around the room and asked me, "Do you need a break?" ”
I smiled faintly and said, "I'm going to see a handsome Mongolian guy, let's talk about it later." ”
He always felt like he wanted to say something but didn't say it, and then neatly cleaned up the scraps and went downstairs to throw away the garbage.
I put away my backpack and put all the little bits and pieces that I had left out into my bag, and I think my instincts were never wrong, and I would leave here by tonight, either by me or by him.
I didn't wait for Qu Zheng to come back, I opened the door and went downstairs first.
I was a little surprised to see him standing against the light, smoking under the window on the second floor, his angular features were blurred in the smoke, and I walked downstairs quickly. He continued to smoke, and I feigned a brisk tone and said, "Can you get me one too?" ”
In fact, except for social occasions, this is the first time I have seen Qu Zheng smoke in private, and he didn't refute it, nor did he talk to me like he did a few days ago, he didn't look at me when he handed me a cigarette, I stood side by side with him, with a distance of one meter in the middle, and they swallowed clouds and spitted fog on the left and right of the window.
For a moment, I remembered our old man, who was a smoker, I was a little stressful in junior high school, and I started to be a smoker, but only on the eve of a few competitions.
Later, Lao Xu found out, he just said, Xiaoyuan, don't let your mother know, look at it, girls should be like your mother, knowledgeable..... Of course, if you are stressed and want to smoke occasionally, your dad should not see it.
Yes, there is no man in the world who is as tolerant of me as Lao Xu, but the first thing in his heart will always be my mother, Ms. Yuan.
Half of the cigarette was smoked, I popped it out of the window, and in the afterglow, I saw Qu Zheng staring at me for a long time and then turned his head, the cigarette ash fell on his fingertips, and he was unconscious.
He picked up a bottle of mineral water from the coffee table next to him, unscrewed the cap, and handed the bottle to me. Then, the other palm was stretched out, and there were two pink pills lying in the big hand, I looked up at him, he immediately lowered his head and whispered, "Do you want to eat it, right?" ”
I don't know whether to ask myself or me, I suppressed the sourness in my heart, picked up the pill between my fingers, threw it in my mouth, and poured a few sips of mineral water into it.
The water is still the same brand when I first saw him, but at this time, I can't tell the taste when I drink it in my mouth.
After drinking the pills, I turned my head and said, "It's time to go!"
From beginning to end, I didn't ask him a question, what does this mean?
No need, of course I knew I was taking the morning-after pill!
He took over my backpack and I walked behind him towards the small town of Zeke.
His shadow long obscured my existence, and I followed him behind to look at him, only to realize that when he came to me, he had already changed and washed, and it was not the same clothes as before, and he still had such long legs, and he still had such a straight and upright posture, but there was something missing that made me feel tempted.
The atmosphere was a little dreary, and he furrowed his brow along the way, and never spoke again.
The people in the town are bustling, there are a lot of Russians, and you can still see big men from Mongolia, but there is still a certain gap from the handsome guys I said.
The shops on both sides are varied and dazzling, and there are people shouting at the door to solicit customers, at first glance, it is similar to the antique street of various tourist attractions all over the north and south of the river.
When I entered the town, when there were many people, Qu Zheng held my hand with his backhand, I didn't break free, I followed all the way, and when I saw a special shop, he took me into it with long legs.
Most of the products in it are Russian cosmetics and snacks, and they all say that Da Maozi has a strong body odor, and I have always felt that perfume and the like are too choking, and the snacks are too sweet, and I have never liked to eat them.
Qu Zheng stood aside and blinked his eyes and asked me a little flatteringly, "Don't you like it?" ”
I nodded, and just then, he took off a Mongolian modified leather cowboy hat on the opposite wall from the shelf and asked the boss.
The boss smiled, praised him for his good vision, saying that a pop singer in Mongolia had been booked in transit before, and then he missed the appointment, and the boss was worried, a hat made of pure leather, the unit price was 1,800, which was already a high-priced commodity for him.
Qu Zheng took it directly to my head, looked at it for a while, and helped me tie the leather rope on the hat on my chest.
The boss tried to sell him another men's hat that was more compatible, and he brought it and asked me how it was, and I nodded.
I feel that at this moment he has regained his former cheerfulness, and he bargained with the boss for a while.
I didn't have to be polite, so the two of us wore couple hats and continued to walk around the town hand in hand.
Walking forward for a while, I got into a characteristic old silver shop, which is rich in silver mines and is very cost-effective, and there are several special silver jewelry stores in Naqi, but the style is too vulgar, this one is more obvious because it is at the border, and the national characteristics are more obvious.
I took a fancy to a pair of bracelets with a new pattern and was going to give them to Xiaozhu, I told Qu Zheng that I gave them away, but he didn't say much and didn't pay for me.
In fact, I also fell in love with a pair of small earrings with silver threads wrapped around opals, and I subconsciously felt that as long as I wanted to buy them, Qu Zheng would pay for them, and I didn't want to give him this opportunity again.
After picking for a long time, when I turned my head, Qu Zheng was no longer in the store, and the little girl who was the salesperson told me shyly that the handsome guy had gone to the restaurant opposite, and asked me to go over to find him.
I'm a little puzzled, it's only been more than an hour since I ate the meal, who is here to eat?
When I arrived at the restaurant opposite, I didn't see Qu Zheng but saw my schoolbag squatting quietly on the table inside, and I sat down, because it was non-meal time, that is, the business of takeaway scones in front of the store was booming, and there were only a few people who came into the house to eat.
After a while, Qu Zheng came over with hot milk tea, put down the milk tea and rubbed his hands: "It's hot, you drink it while it's hot, this is made by me, there is no store in this village to enjoy," I supported my jaw with one hand, and gently sucked it on the edge of the bowl without my hand, the taste was really good, and it was slightly sweet without milk, needless to say, he should have improved it for me.
"Well, it's delicious," I said, and he served me a few more scones, and told me, "This is also a must, eat more while it's hot." ”
I nodded, and then asked in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Qu Zheng, have you ever been a soldier?" ”
He hummed, so faintly that I thought I was hallucinating.
"Actually, all the way down, I should thank you, you don't need to be so polite to me, some things are voluntary, and they are not imposed on whom, you know!"
I blew on the milk tea, pecking in small sips, do I mean to listen to it to him or myself.
There had been silence on his side, and I could feel that he was looking at me again, and a cell phone ringing interrupted his gaze, and he answered a few words. Randomly, whispered in my ear: "Xiaoyuan, I owe you an explanation, I will definitely explain it myself, after drinking milk tea, go to the backyard of the restaurant, where is Yan Dong waiting for you....."
After saying this, without waiting for me to respond, he strode towards the back door of the restaurant, and I looked at his departing back, and for a moment felt the steaming heat of milk tea stain my eyes.
