Chapter 6 Follow Me Forever

Rigor yawned: "I can't keep it with money, what else can I use?" Is it the kind of love that you intellectuals say? Sensei amused! ”

"People like you, you just don't hit the south wall and don't look back......"

He didn't like to listen to this sentence very much, and he laughed: "Cheng Xiaoyi, why do I think you are talking more and more like your daughter-in-law?" Tan Bin* You're getting more and more promising! ”

Cheng Ruimin, such a kind person, was aroused by his temper, stood up and threw him into the study.

Rigorous smiled and chased to the door of the study: "Don't smoke, don't drink, no matter how bad you are, what do you say you have lived in your life?" ”

Cheng Ruimin slammed the door of the study shut.

Rigorously raised his fist and slammed the door: "Cheng Ruimin, let me remind you of something, your driver's license is under annual inspection, and you can rub my car later." ”

Cheng Ruimin replied to him unhurriedly: "I also remind you that fortunately, there is still something in the world, it is called a taxi." ”

When Ji Xiaoou's phone called, Cheng Ruimin was driving Cheng Ruimin and was stuck on the East Fourth Ring Road. After answering the phone, he said to Cheng Ruimin: "Brother, I'm sorry, my brother has to pay attention to sex and ignore friends, do the perfect woman's business first, and then send you back, anyway, your wife works overtime every day and doesn't go home for dinner." ”

Cheng Ruimin replied: "It's not once or twice that you value sex and ignore friends, don't use Tan Bin as an excuse." ”

Although he had been to Ji Xiaoou's house and was familiar with the road, it took nearly an hour because of the traffic jam.

As soon as he entered the community, he saw Ji Xiaoou standing in the most obvious position on the side of the road. Although the sun in late spring is not hot, if you stand in the sun for an hour, you will be dizzy from the sun. Ji Xiaoou's face was white and pure, and at the moment she was as red as a steamed crab and sweating, which greatly reduced her appearance.

Brake rigorously, muttering: "Is this girl lacking heart?" Why don't you find a cool place to stay? He was a little upset, he wanted to show off in front of his brother, but now he obviously couldn't achieve his goal.

Cheng Ruimin glanced at him with a smile and did not speak.

Rigorous jumped out of the car and apologized vigorously: "It's jammed, I'm sorry, what's the thing?" ”

Ji Xiaoou looked at him, he didn't even have the strength to speak, and kicked the big cardboard box next to him weakly.

In fact, the whole road was blocked and the sun was exposed all the way, and the rigorous situation was not much better than her. The tips of his head and nose were sweaty, a Versace cotton shirt with white bottoms, the sleeves were pulled up to the elbows, the hem was half tucked in jeans and half fell outside, the front placket was full of pleats, and more than 2,000 clothes were worn by him into a crumpled rag. This is going to be replaced by someone else, and he must look sloppy and sloppy, but he has always felt very good about himself, and no matter how embarrassed his appearance is, it will not affect his suave demeanor when he was a hero and saved the United States.

"Leave it to me, you get in the car first." He commanded in a haughty manner.

Ji Xiaoou didn't move, his expression was a little anxious, "I'm really sorry, I want to ask you for something more?" ”

Her voice was softer than usual, and she waved her hand heroically, "Say! ”

"The place you sent me to last time, the building in Baiziwan, do you remember?"

"Just the place that is going to be demolished, like a garbage dump?"

"Yes."

Rigor thought for a while: "It's okay, you should be able to touch it." ”

"There's a bit of a rush in the store, I have to go back, I can't go with you. This TV, can you please help me send it to that building? My brother will pick up there. ”

Only then did he know that what was in the carton at Ji Xiaoou's feet was a TV. Weighing the size and weight, he made a move, and gently and skillfully carried it in the trunk like a weightless paper bag.

Then he opened the back door, "Get in the car, I'll take you back to the store first." ”

Ji Xiaoou saw that there was still a person sitting in the front seat in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't really see it through the sunshade film. She took a step back: "No, you have friends here, I can't bother you anymore." ”

"By the way, what's the trouble not to bother?" Rigor wanted to hug Ji Xiaoou's shoulder, but Ji Xiaoou dodged and avoided it.

"No thanks!" She insisted.

Rigorous and helpless, "You really don't give me this face?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'll thank you when I get back."

"Okay." Rigorous to accept when you see it, and don't entangle, but I feel that it's a pity that the spring water has gone down the drain, "Who is the connector over there?" ”

"My brother."

"What's his name?"

"Zhan Yu. Zhanjiang's Zhanjiang, feathers. ”

Rigorous nodded: "What about the joint code?" ”

"I told him the model and license plate number of your car, and he will be waiting for you on the side of the road."

Rigor made an OK gesture and locked the trunk to get into the car. Just as he turned around and got into the car, the window on the side near Ji Xiaoou slowly lowered.

It was a delicate man, with black-framed glasses, a snow-white stand-up collar shirt that was clean and fashionable, and he seemed to be a few years younger than Rigor but much more stable and mature than Rigor Rigor . He was looking at Ji Xiaoou, his eyes were subtle and polite, and he didn't feel offended. This kind of gentle and elegant temperament is extremely rare in Ji Xiaoou's life circle, and she couldn't help but take a few more looks. Seeing Ji Xiaoou looking at him, the man smiled at Ji Xiaoou, he had a soft facial features, so the edge of that smile was like the evening breeze in early summer, soft and blurry, and was completely accepted by Ji Xiaoou bit by bit.

The car went away, and Ji Xiaoou was still standing in a daze. Only through the rear window could clearly see the movements of the two people in the car. Rigorously patted him on the shoulder, pursed his hair, and even pinched his chin and said a few words, and the relationship between the two looked unusually good.

This scene made Ji Xiaoou feel very indignant: it is said that men with slightly better conditions these years have either had a girlfriend or a boyfriend a long time ago, and reality proves that this is true. For example, the one just now, although he wears a pair of glasses, it does not affect his appearance at all, and he is outstanding in terms of appearance and temperament. There is also rigor, although it is always a hooligan, but in terms of appearance alone, it can be regarded as tall and handsome in any case. Two men with such outstanding conditions are both good men, compared to the more than 500,000 older unmarried women in the capital, it is an amazing waste of resources.

Ji Xiaoou was observing Cheng Ruimin, and Cheng Ruimin was also observing her in the rearview mirror. It wasn't until Ji Xiaoou's figure disappeared from view that Cheng Ruimin withdrew his gaze.

He asked, "Is this your new girlfriend?" ”

"Not yet."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't get started." Rigorous and frank answers.

Cheng Ruimin made a sudden statement: "No wonder you work hard." ”

"That's it." I don't feel ashamed to be rigorous, but I am complacent, "I have never been so filial to my mother." ”

Cheng Ruimin quickly turned his face away, he was really embarrassed to laugh in front of him.

Anyone who knows him knows that it's all an illusion, in fact, his observation is like a video camera, his memory is comparable to a photocopier, and his sense of direction is comparable to a satellite locator. Almost without any mistakes, he accurately followed the route with Ji Xiaoou last time, and accurately stopped under the lonely old building.

Someone on the side of the road ran over and tapped lightly on the window.

Rigor grinned and pushed the car door open, and took a look at the man, a fair and delicate face suddenly jumped into sight, he froze as if he had been struck by lightning, and the smile was fixed on his face.

The other party obviously didn't have any psychological preparation for the scene in front of him, and froze. Holding his breath for a moment, he snorted and spoke: "Brother Jin, why are you?" ”

"Why are you again? Your name is Zhan Yu? Aren't your name KK? Rigorously stared at him, surprised and disdainful, "How can I see you wherever I go?" Why the fuck are you ghosted? ”

Zhan Yu didn't dare to look at him, and quickly lowered his eyes, the tips of his eyelashes trembled, as if he was full of unease.

"Ji Xiaoou is your sister?"

"Hmm."

"My sister?"

"It's not."

"Cousin?"

Zhan Yu hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It's not." ”

Rigorous pulled down his face without warning, as if someone owed him tens of thousands of dollars, walked to the back of the car without saying a word, dragged out the cardboard box in the trunk, and threw it in front of Zhan Yu with a bang.

Zhan Yu was startled, subconsciously took a few steps back, stood up and raised his eyes again, the timid look on his face suddenly disappeared, and he turned back into the KK who scolded "× your uncle" in "One-third" that day. But instead of scolding like last time, he glared at Rigor viciously with his dark eyes.

Rigorous and irritable: "What are you staring at, want me to beat you?" ”

Zhan Yu gave him a roll of his eyes, picked up the cardboard box and walked into the building. The size and weight of the cardboard box lined his figure very thin, and he staggered and didn't take a few steps, then put it down heavily, picked it up again at a different angle, and put it down after a few steps.

Rigor hung his face, looked at it coldly for a while, he really couldn't stand it, and turned back to Cheng Ruimin and said, "You find a place to park your car first, and wait for me for a while." ”

He strode over, pushed Zhan Yu away, grabbed the cardboard box and carried it on his shoulder, and said angrily: "The little white face is not a problem, lead the way ahead." ”

Like Ji Xiaoou's first visit, Rigor was also shocked by the family's impoverished situation. He stood in the narrow hall with the box on his shoulder, feeling strongly the abruptness of his presence. Those old furniture and appliances made him suddenly return to the 80s. But even thirty years ago, no matter how unswervingly strict parents inherited the arduous and simple revolutionary tradition, the home was always clean and bright. Everything in front of him was beyond the rigorous life experience, and he looked back at Zhan Yu. Zhan Yu stood by the door, his eyes turned away, and the expression on his face was blank. Li Meiqin was alarmed, moved out of the bedroom on crutches, and turned her cloudy gaze to this stranger who rushed in, completely guarded - rigorous clothing, rigorous temperament, rigorous posture, the kind of self-satisfaction and stretch bred by the superior environment, all as if from another world, incompatible with the surrounding environment.

Rigorously put down the cardboard box and walked a few steps in the living room, even if he deliberately restrained his body language, but in Zhan Yu's eyes, there was still a high taste.

Zhan Yu raised his eyes and looked at him obliquely, his tone full of provocation: "Look, are you okay?" See, let's go. The small door of my house is narrow, and it can't accommodate you, a nobleman. ”

Ignoring his rudeness, he stood at the kitchen door and looked inside, tilted his chin in the direction of the door, and then walked out of the door first with a discipline-like pace.

Zhan Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally followed him tacitly. The two of them went downstairs one after the other, and they didn't stop until they came to the open space in front of the building.

Rigorous wanted to speak, but felt that those fluttering words had become extremely difficult in his throat. He pulled a cigarette out of his trouser pocket and a lighter. The lighter probably ran out of gas, so he clicked and pressed it several times, but no flames came out.

Zhan Yu stared at the rudimentary disposable lighter, as if he wanted to say something, thought about it and closed his mouth.

I didn't light the cigarette for a long time, so I had to put the cigarette in the palm of my hand and rub it. He didn't intend to speak, Zhan Yu didn't speak, the two stood facing each other with big eyes, and from time to time there were neighbors coming in and out, sweeping their eyes, all full of curiosity and doubt. Rigorous only when not seen.

After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke: "Last time in the 'third', what did you want to ask me?" ”

The corners of Zhan Yu's mouth slowly curled, and he clearly smiled a little, but his eyes were very cold, and he said, "Have I begged you?" When have I begged you? Are you dreaming? ”

Rigor frowned, Zhan Yu's performance confused him, and the embarrassment after being rejected also made him a little annoyed.

With strict sensitivity, as soon as Zhan Yu opened his mouth last time, he guessed what predicament Zhan Yu had encountered. In some large nightclubs and bars, there is a strict order in the pornography industry, and whether it is a "young master" or a "young lady", the only way to get out with the guests is through an intermediary, and it is basically impossible to choose customers privately. There are those who want to resist, those who pimp have their own way to tame them, unless they become the first card or don't care about anything, they have the possibility of relative freedom. Liu Wei's group of people under Feng Weixing made a living from this.

No matter how ridiculous and outrageous his actions are on weekdays, he has always adhered to an untouchable bottom line - no pornography or drugs. The former is harmful to women, and the latter is harmful to people's lives. No matter how attractive the profits are, he will not get involved in an industry that is related to the word pornography, and he does not want to get involved because of an irrelevant person. Every industry has its own way of survival, and it also has its own rules of the game, and he has to pay for anyone who breaks the rules. This is the reason why he ruthlessly refused the last time Zhan Yu knelt down in the "third" to ask for help. But everything he saw at Zhan Yu's house just now made his heart soften. After considering the stakes, he was determined to do Zhan Yu a favor, but Zhan Yu's current appearance didn't seem to want to accept his feelings.

Compared to before, KK seems to have changed, and there are some things on his body that are obviously different. His delicate and innocent face seemed to be ready to tear at any moment, becoming stubborn and cold. This feeling is very familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while. It's just that the little softness in his heart that has just come alive has gradually returned to its original hardness.

There was a garbage can on the side of the road that was so dirty that I couldn't make out the background color, and I flicked my fingers and accurately threw the ravaged cigarette into the can. Then he nodded and said coldly: "Okay, tell your sister, the things have been delivered, and my task is complete." ”

Without waiting for Zhan Yu to speak, he left Zhan Yu and turned to leave.

When Cheng Ruimin learned that Zhan Yu was KK, he was also surprised: "Just that boy just now? It looks like a student, can't it? ”

Rigor spewed out a cold breath from his nose: "How many professional 'chickens' and 'ducks' have you seen?" ”

"That kid is really different, he doesn't have the kind of self-defeating spirit of breaking the jar, if he comes to this point because of family reasons, it's actually quite pitiful."

"Forget it!" The rigorous tone became more and more contemptuous, "There are too many children from poor families, and not everyone has to go out to sell to survive, right?" When you were in college, you didn't want to spend your dad's money, and you almost vomited blood because you didn't work part-time? Why don't you go out and sell meat? ”

Cheng Ruimin shook his head with a smile, and took the initiative to stop talking, not wanting to argue with him for a stranger.

At dinner, he made an exception and ate very little, because he thought about the whole thing from beginning to end, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and it was this possibility that made him unable to swallow.

After eating, he left Cheng's house and drove to his house, still pondering the possibility along the way.

Rigor remembered that the first time he and Ji Xiaoou met was in the hotel, and it was early in the morning, when Ji Xiaoou and his female companion were dressed very sexy. Thinking of Zhan Yu again, he said that he and Ji Xiaoou have no blood relationship at all. But the two are commensurate with sister and brother, can it really be that sister and brother are so clean?

Thinking about it like this, Rigor felt that the hair on the back of his head stood up one by one. It is true that he likes Ji Xiaoou, but his liking is just liking, and nothing else. He pursues girls, usually without a clear purpose, no matter who the other party is, as long as it makes him feel relaxed and happy. According to this standard, Ji Xiaoou is not very qualified now.

A woman, who opens a beauty salon alone, is usually the easiest occupation for the second mother and Xiaomi, and has a younger brother who devotes himself to a "special industry" - thinking of Ji Xiaoou, she can't bear to use the word "duck" to define Zhan Yu, after all, she is her younger brother, so she has to find a more elegant way to replace it. But I have to admit that her background is indeed ambiguous, and she is so ambiguous that she is not suitable for being a girlfriend.

But just retreating, the previous efforts have all become sunk costs, and there is no return, he hasn't even touched Ji Xiaoou's little hand, he is unwilling.

Rigor parked the car on the side of the road and called Ji Xiaoou's store - this phone was more reliable than Ji Xiaoou's mobile phone. When she is busy, she often doesn't care about answering her mobile phone, but someone will answer the landline. However, this time, the other party's ringtone rang and rang, but no one answered the phone.

Just when he was about to give up, Ji Xiaoou's voice suddenly came out of his mobile phone, very impatient: "Over and over again, are you annoying, are you sick?" Feed? ”

Rigorous coughed: "It's me!" Let's come out when the shop closes at night. ”

"How many times have I told you, I don't have time!" Ji Xiaoou's tone was stiff, "I said, do you know how to write the word 'boring'?" ”

Click, the phone hung up.

Strictly holding the phone and stunned there, it took a long time to wake up, and he threw the phone angrily: "Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, I just used up Lao Tzu's face, I don't know who I am!" ”

In his history of pickling girls, he has never encountered such a naked use. Under normal circumstances, rigor will not care about women. He and Wei Xiaobao belong to the same sect, and if they can't fight, they will run, and if they can't catch up, they will retreat. He never stalked to the death, nor would he hang himself from a tree, but this time, he was so angry that he laughed at it, and he planned to teach Ji Xiaoou a lesson.

However, Rigor obviously forgot that this was the second time he had sworn to teach Ji Xiaoou a lesson.

I don't know if I know it, Ji Xiaoou hung up his phone, but it was a complete misunderstanding. She was in an angry state of abnormality when she answered the phone, and she didn't even hear his voice.

Because Ji Xiaoou's beauty shop was kicked out of the field.

Just as she was leaving the store and going home, waiting on the side of the road with a TV, a whole bucket of red paint was splashed on the door of her store. That's why she asked Cheng Cheng to deliver the TV alone, and she quickly returned to the store.

Although she had already known what was going on from the phone and had been prepared, when she saw the scene, her head still buzzed and she almost fell.

Several blood-red and blood-red paints dripped down the glass door, and the highly saturated red color resembled a murder scene, strongly stimulating people's eyes and hearts.

Since it was lunchtime when it happened, there were no customers in the store, and several beauticians were hiding in the back kitchen to eat, and no one saw the initiator.

The police of 110 came, but there were no witnesses, and they had no choice, so they left after taking a few words of comfort and kindness.

Ji Xiaoou endured his anger and patrolled outside the door several times, estimating the damage while considering how to restore the store. The manager of the beauty shop, a beautician named Satsuki, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the beauty shop, followed her and asked in a chattering voice, "Boss, could it be that the newly opened store is causing trouble?" ”

A sentence reminded Ji Xiaoou, she turned her head and stared at the beauty salon across the road with a banner of "Opening Rewards" and even the exterior walls were painted pink, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xiaoyue's guess was reasonable, and her anger gradually rushed down her spine to her Tianling Gai.

The beauty salon, called "Xuefu", opened two months ago. Not only is the store nearly half larger than the "Year of the Flowing Water", but also has a lot of money, and when it opens, it launches a big reward, and the price of several sets of annual cards is so low that it suppresses the cost, almost everywhere for Ji Xiaoou's main product series. For a while, half of the new customers of the "Year of Water" ran away, and the old customers couldn't move for the time being because they had already paid the advance payment for the annual card or the half-year card, but the people's hearts were also fluctuating, and some people chattered with Ji Xiaoou to bargain, expecting her to extend the time of the annual card or give other additional products.

Ji Xiaoou has been on fire for a few days. But angry is angry, she is still unwilling to clash head-on with competitors and really fight a price war. The other party may not care about how much she loses, but she cares. And with a limited number of customers nearby, it is not her original intention to focus only on how to retain old customers, and her goal this year is to seek growth in stability. You have to be a surprise to win.

chatted twice in the QQ group of a beauty shop owner, and another person pondered for a few days, and then pretended to be a customer to go to the "Xuefu" micro-service for a private visit, checking the other party's products, services and prices, and she came up with a solution.

Ji Xiaoou first went to Suning to buy a Taidian oven, and then used a text message to notify all the customers in the database: every Saturday afternoon, "Like Water" will provide free afternoon tea and beauty lectures to thank new and old customers.

On the first Saturday, Ji Xiaoou baked biscuits and snacks, and made rose pu'er and herbal tea. Not many people came that afternoon, and the beauty talk was titled "Myths, Misleading and Truths in Cosmetics Advertising". Ji Xiaoou's background in chemical engineering helped a lot, and when a series of obscure professional terms such as "superoxide dismutase", "flavonoids" and "acetylglucosamine" skillfully emerged from her mouth, her image suddenly became taller and made customers awe-inspired.

In other words, their brains have been successfully formatted by Ji Xiaoou, so that a concept has been deeply rooted in their minds, that is, the important principle of skin care is to use antioxidants to reduce the damage of free radicals to the skin, before buying skin care products and maintenance products, we must first know what ingredients are contained and which ones are beneficial to the skin.

The second lecture was entitled "Do You Really Need to Double Your Moisturizer?" There were twice as many people than the first time. The most impressive thing about this lecture was a sentence from Ji Xiaoou, she said: "Those expensive serums, the so-called moisturizing function, are just because they contain more silicone and less thickener, so they have a more delicate touch than lotions." As for the effect, it is more of a psychological effect. ”

In general, negative news tends to be more eye-catching than positive news. Especially when negative news is not good for others and does not hurt oneself, it often spreads very quickly. Most of Ji Xiaoou's customer base is not very high-income, so when they heard Ji Xiaoou's big revelation of big-name cosmetics, the psychological balance and obvious pleasure they gained from it made their favorability towards Ji Xiaoou himself and the "year of flowing water" soar like the temperature outside the window.

On the third Saturday, the popularity of "The Year of Flowing Water" skyrocketed, and many customers came with friends, and the number of people was almost beyond Ji Xiaoou's control. This time, she prepared the topic of "Inside the Collagen Industry".

Ji Xiaoou said that no matter how expensive the collagen is, it comes from pig skin, fish skin and fish scales, and the production cost will not exceed one-tenth of the selling price, so don't waste money on gorgeous advertising and packaging. What she used as a negative teaching material happened to be the collagen beauty products promoted by the owner of the "Xuefu" beauty shop.

Ji Xiaoou endured it for a month and paved the way for two weekends, in order to quietly introduce this theme. She knows that her approach is not very authentic, but when doing business, she always has to do something and not do something, and Ji Xiaoou is very clear about the rights and wrongs in the meantime.

The results of the three lectures were unexpectedly good, not only did the customer churn rate drop sharply, but also brought in a lot of new customers. Seeing that the other party was cold, Ji Xiaoou was young and vigorous, and it was inevitable that she would be secretly proud after winning this battle, and she felt that she was simply omnipotent, but today's scene made her completely dumbfounded. It's okay for her to play with her heart, but if the other party goes directly to the hooligan tricks, she is obviously not an opponent.

At this moment, Ji Xiaoou's mood is not bad, but very bad. She really wanted to rush to the other party's store to ask for an explanation, but if there was no real evidence, wouldn't it be a humiliation? So she could only stand in front of her shop and drink ice water in sips to suppress the fire.

The phone at the front desk rang as usual, with a low ringtone like a whimper, ringing from time to time, and it was not affected in any way by the unexpected events in the store. Most of them are customers who make beauty appointments, and there is only one phone call, Xiaoyue listened for a while, and then handed the microphone to Ji Xiaoou: "Boss." ”

Ji Xiaoou took the microphone and heard a man with a southern accent call out affectionately: "Xiaoou, are you okay?" ”

This affectionate title made Ji Xiaoou shudder for a moment, and thought for a moment to think of someone. She asked angrily, "Lin Haipeng?" ”

The other party said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm Lin Haipeng, I know you won't forget me......"

As soon as he said this, Ji Xiaoou hung up the phone with a "bang".

Satsuki was holding a brush to apply a mask to the guest, and was startled by her, and her hand trembled and almost stabbed the guest in the eye.

Seeing the surprise of the guests, Ji Xiaoou hurriedly squeezed out a smile and apologized: "I'm sorry, the wrong call ......"

Before the voice fell, the phone rang again, Ji Xiaoou picked up the microphone again, and only heard the man say: "Xiaoou, don't you want to be like this, have you been doing well all these years?" ”

This Lin Haipeng is Ji Xiaoou's ex-boyfriend who broke up three years ago. In the past, Ji Xiaoou admired the considerate and delicate side of his southern man, but now that he thinks about it, he only feels like swallowing a mouthful of slimy fake cream, which is so sweet that it makes people greasy.

"I'm fine, don't worry about you." Ji Xiaoou's tone was not good, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Can't I call you if it's okay?"

"Time is money for you, okay, would you waste your time with your ex-girlfriend? The devil believes! Does Mrs. Zun need beauty? Okay, our store gives acquaintances a discount of 85%, pays in cash, and refuses to swipe the card. ”

Lin Haipeng laughed dryly on the phone: "Look, you still have this temper, and you haven't changed at all." ”

Ji Xiaoou was impatient to talk to him: "I'm busy, do you have something?" Tell me something quickly, it's okay to occupy my phone. There is another sentence in the back, she endured it for a long time and didn't say it, she wanted to say: Who the has the time to stage "Half Life" with you?

Lin Haipeng was probably choked by her tone, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Ji Xiaoou, the previous things have passed, can't we be friends?" ”

"Thank you, I'm never short of friends!" Ji Xiaoou threw down the microphone again.

But before she could turn around, the phone rang again. Ji Xiaoou didn't want to answer, but the phone rang very tenaciously, ringing for more than a minute, Ji Xiaoou couldn't stand it, and finally grabbed the microphone: "Are you annoyed, over and over again, are you sick?" Feed? ”

The environment over there was messy, and I didn't know what to say, Ji Xiaoou only heard "Night...... out" words.

She was anxious and shouted into the microphone: "How many times have I told you, I don't have time!" Thinking about it, I can't get enough of it, and I added, "I said, do you know how to write the word 'boring'?" ”

Rigor was so angry that he almost turned his back on her words, but Ji Xiaoou didn't realize it, thinking that it was still Lin Haipeng on the other end of the phone. As for what Lin Haipeng suddenly asked her to do, Ji Xiaoou was not interested at all. Since you are an ex and a passerby, it is best to roll as far as you can, and never see each other again in this life. It doesn't matter if you are the favorite of my life, whether you will regret it for the rest of your life if I am gone, and whether I will live well in the future is my own pleasure, I can't fold it in your hands.

Because the workers removed the red paint from the door of the store, it affected some of the customers who made reservations. The store closed late that night, sent off the last customer at half past ten, and cleaned up at nearly eleven o'clock. By the time Ji Xiaoou finished the routine security check of water and electricity, put down the roller shutter door and prepared to go home, it was nearly half past eleven, and the bus had already stopped.

The road in front of the store is not the main road, as soon as it is ten o'clock in the evening, there are few cars and sparse people, the shops on the street are closed, and occasionally one or two small supermarkets are still lit, so empty taxis rarely pass by, Ji Xiaoou can only walk to the intersection four hundred meters away before it is possible to get a car.

After walking more than a dozen steps, Ji Xiaoou seemed to have the sound of clothes rubbing against her ears, very close to her, as if she was behind her. She jerked her back, but there was no one behind her, only the light of the streetlamp casting lonely. Then I walked forward, but I couldn't get rid of the strange feeling that there was someone behind me, and when I turned back again, it was still empty behind me, only the reassuring fireworks in the windows of the residential buildings on the side of the road.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Ji Xiaoou's back, she couldn't help but tighten her coat, and was about to continue her journey with a muttering sound, when someone patted her on the shoulder.

This scared Ji Xiaoou so much that he almost threw away his bag. She quickly turned around, only to see a tall figure, silently clinging behind her, like another shadow of hers.

"Rigorous!" Ji Xiaoou picked up the bag and smashed it on his shoulder, "Are you sick?" Scared the hell out of me! ”

That's right, the person who secretly followed behind her was rigorous.

He drove here after dinner, and since nine o'clock in the evening, he has been sitting in the car, observing Ji Xiaoou's every move through the window facing the street.

The snow-white light overflowed from the lattice windowpane, and Ji Xiaoou on the other side of the window was wearing a simple bean green shirt, light gray knitted trousers, long hair tied back in a regular manner, and a busy figure slender and beautiful, showing fresh greenery and vitality, like willow branches in early spring. This kind of Ji Xiaoou has nothing to do with the Ji Xiaoou with his imagination of a corrupt private life.

Rigor jumped out of the car and slowly lit a cigarette for himself. On a late spring and early summer night, there was still a hint of coolness in the air, which made his hot skin feel comfortable and comfortable, but there seemed to be a little anxiety in this comfort that could never be reached.

It was a completely foreign feeling, at least one that he had lost in years. After getting to know Ji Xiaoou, there seemed to be an invisible force in the dark, which reluctantly trapped him deeply. Just like a retail investor in the stock market, he originally wanted to make a relaxed and comfortable short-term, but he didn't expect to accidentally drag it into the middle line, and if he was entangled, he was afraid that he would be brutally forced into a long line.

In the smoke that gradually drifted away, Rigor squinted his eyes in confusion. It wasn't until Ji Xiaoou closed the store and got off work that he locked the car door and quietly followed. With his skills, if he hadn't deliberately made a little noise, she would never have noticed the tail behind her.

After Ji Xiaoou vented his anger at being frightened, he remembered the matter: "What are you doing here?" I'm sorry, I'm too busy today to call you to say thank you! ”

Rigor asked, "Are you going home?" I'll send you. ”

Ji Xiaoou looked behind him: "Don't you have to accompany your friends?" I don't make light bulbs. ”

"What friend?"

"I'll be with you in the afternoon, the one in the white shirt."

"He-" Cheng Cheng suddenly said, "at night he is in the hands of his daughter-in-law, and I have nothing to do." ”

Really. Ji Xiaoou secretly crooked the corners of his mouth, unable to tell whether he was contemptuous or sympathetic. It is said that there are more than 10 million homosexuals in China, and 80 percent of them will marry and have children, which means that nearly 8 million homosexuals will be forced to hide their sexual orientation and cheat on the opposite sex to marry them. No, there is a living ready-made example around me. According to the person's elegant temperament and superior appearance, Ji Xiaoou believed that without any effort from him, there would be a girl who would pounce on him. She does not discriminate against homosexuals, and even respects those who insist on themselves in the face of the pressures of life, but her acceptance and tolerance of this group of people completely stop at cheating marriage.

She looked up at Rigor with a serious expression on her face that seemed to be covered with a faint melancholy. This is a frustrated man! Her mortal compassion began to stir again: "Do you want to eat to kill the night?" Let's go to Gui Street, I'm in for a treat. ”

Rigor didn't answer, only took out his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked down at Ji Xiaoou condescendingly, with confusion and hesitation in his eyes.

He wanted to hesitate a little longer, to see more clearly what he felt was in a strange situation. Fang Cai's strange anxieties puzzled him, as if one end of the scale had suddenly emptied, and he was hurt by the sudden fall of his own head.

The two of them stood facing each other like this, just one with his face slightly upturned and the other with his head slightly lowered, and the height and height angle were very suitable for something. Strictly took a step forward, the black in his eyes seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, reflecting the light of the street lamp behind him, and his height and shadow turned into a tall tower in front of Ji Xiaoou.

Ji Xiaoou had a bad premonition, sensing the approaching danger, she took a step back, but behind her was a street tree with a thick bowl on the side of the street, and she had no way to retreat.

Ji Xiaoou panicked and began to look left and right, hoping to find a safe gap in the rigorous shadows to escape.

Rigor did not allow her to find shelter, and had pressed his lips firmly against hers.

Ji Xiaoou's eyes were like a white light, and his vision and hearing seemed to lose their function at the same time. Her last consciousness was only two thick eyebrows and eyes, and for the first time, she found that her eyelashes were so long, facing the bright colors of neon, the tips of the eyelashes shimmered and trembled like the tips of grass before a storm.

The technique of rigorous kissing is skillful and provocative, and it is naturally the result of countless practices. Ji Xiaoou came to her senses after a moment of ignorance, she wanted to dodge, but her strict left hand held the back of her neck, just like an iron hoop, making her head and neck unable to move left and right. And rigor is obviously not satisfied with the superficial contact of the lips of the two sides, and has already planned to conquer the city and advance deeper.

What's worse is that Ji Xiaoou found that her body had no resistance to the rigorous surprise attack, and when the rigorous lips touched her earlobe, it seemed like an electric current swept from top to bottom, and she was actually soft and unstable on her legs. Ji Xiaoou didn't know what would happen next, but she knew that there would definitely be a next step. Her flesh seemed to be defying her conscience, and she couldn't even decide whether to call for help or kick when the time came.

Ji Xiaoou never imagined that things would turn out like this, and in a hurry, she leaned back slightly, used her remaining reason to close her teeth up and down, and bit down hard.

Rigorous was caught off guard, and hurriedly jumped away with a muffled snort under severe pain. A salty taste appeared on his lips, and Ji Xiaoou had bitten a few small bites, and blood beads suddenly appeared.

He covered his lips and looked at Ji Xiaoou resentfully: "You're too ruthless, aren't you?" The first time he kissed her, he was slapped in the face, and the second time he kissed her, he was bitten on the lip and saw blood, which was an unprecedented record in his long history of pickling girls.

Ji Xiaoou had already taken the opportunity to escape to safety, and sneered far away: "This is very polite!" Tell you, I didn't use my special skills against perverts to nullify you, you should feel lucky. ”

Carefully wipe the blood stains on his lips, and rub the blood stains on his fingers on the sleeves of his shirt. Then he shook his head: "So fierce, who will dare to marry you in the future?" ”

"It's your business!" Ji Xiaoou was angry and hateful, and the word "fart" dragged on for a long time.

"Why is it none of my business?" Although his lips quickly swollen like baked bread, he still couldn't change his hippie smile, "Since I kissed you, I have to be responsible for you, I am responsible, I am not the one who has abandoned from the beginning." ”

He didn't take Ji Xiaoou's anger seriously at all.

Forced kisses, confessions, and then hugs are the classic trilogy of his pursuit of girls, and in general they rarely miss. There are basically three kinds of reactions after a girl is forcibly kissed: shy, casual, and angry. The last one is more troublesome and may have the chance of being slapped in the face, but I am rigorous and sure that as long as it is handled properly afterwards, it will definitely be able to achieve positive results.

He thought that Ji Xiaoou would give him another mouth at most, but Ji Xiaoou's reaction once again challenged his bottom line: she actually took out her mobile phone and dialed 110.

Rigorous was almost stunned, even though he was well-informed, he had never met a woman like Ji Xiaoou who didn't even know how to flirt.

"Hello, I have been robbed and I request the police. Yes, a man, more than 1.8 meters ......" Ji Xiaoou's phone was suddenly snatched from behind, he pinched the call rigorously, held up the mobile phone and said with a smile: "Someone may be calling 110 and waiting for the people's police to save his life, because your phone is busy, he may die." You're wasting precious 110 resources. ”

"You don't have a pretence."

"Hey, little girl, don't just say foul language, it will affect the image more."

"Fuck off!" Ji Xiaoou didn't know why he was so angry, he was so angry that he couldn't choose to speak. She snatched her phone back and glared at him panting, her chest heaving terribly.

"I can't get out." Rigorous and calm, "Look, I was slapped by you last time, and I was bitten again this time, I lost a lot of money, you have to let me make up for it, right?" ”

The words are straightforward, without a trace of shame. It is often the case that people are scoundrels and frivolous to a certain extent, but they make others obey. Ji Xiaoou obeyed. She quieted down and thought of a key question.

"Don't you like men? What do you mean by coming with me? ”

"What about liking men? That doesn't prevent me from liking women like you? ”

Ji Xiaoou scanned the surrounding environment with his eyes to see if there were any tools nearby, so that she could him at any time and smash him on the head and cover his face, while also committing poverty with Rigor Strict: "If you like men, you just come out of the closet, you have to pull me to be cannon fodder, what's the matter?" ”

Rigor inadvertently took a step closer to her, Ji Xiaoou became more and more nervous, and the center of gravity of his body completely shifted to one leg. That posture gave people the feeling that as soon as they touched her, she would be fired like a bullet out of the chamber.

Her muscular stiff running stance fell into Rigue's eyes, making him suddenly feel discouraged. It seems that the game is not moving forward as he designed, and he needs to make a strategic retreat for the time being, and then look for an opportunity to attack again. So he took a step back, and with one step he stepped back from the halo of the lamp into the shadows.

"I'm sorry." "I'm kidding you, I apologize." ”

In the QQ group that he often goes to at night, Ji Xiaoou logged in and knocked out a message like this: "I was kissed by a gay, and after the kiss, he said sorry to me again!" What do you mean by him? ”

The QQ group, which was originally silent, suddenly became active, and many invisible trumpets went online one after another, swiping quickly and urgently, and the screen was beating rapidly, which dazzled Ji Xiaoou.

"No, you actually straightened a crooked man?"

"How do you feel?"

"Does he have a physiological reaction?"

"Is he handsome? Is he handsome? Is he handsome? Is he handsome? ”

The members of this QQ group are all beauty shop owners of all sizes, and most of them are women in their twenties and thirties. In addition to the discussion of beauty, another long-lasting topic is the exchange of online novels. Ji Xiaoou doesn't read romance novels much, and sometimes when he sees words like "Tanmei", "attack", "corruption" and "abuse" all over the screen, he often doesn't know what to do. At first, she was still very curious, but after Baidu literacy, when she encountered such a topic again, she silently bowed her head and went offline, and then opened the Bible and reread a few articles to calm her curiosity that was actually difficult to suppress.

Today, she is really depressed by rigor, so she wants to come up and ask these self-proclaimed "rotten girls" - netizens who are often in contact with same-sex novels, and ask them if they understand what rigor is thinking.

Unexpectedly, the discussion in the group was hot, all of them were irrelevant issues, she occasionally interjected a sentence, and before anyone saw it, she was quickly squeezed out of the page, and everyone was enthusiastic about it, not to solve Ji Xiaoou's doubts, but to guess whether what she encountered was a pure Gay, or the legendary male and female? When he kissed Ji Xiaoou, he couldn't help it, or did he have other plans?

Ji Xiaoou smiled helplessly at the computer, so he had to throw these people away and find a reason to go offline and shut down.

That night, Zhan Yu called Ji Xiaoou from the dormitory very late and told her that the TV had been received, and her mother was very happy, so she thanked her.

Ji Xiaoou sighed secretly: "Isn't it just an old TV, your mother is too polite." ”

Zhan Yu said: "You don't understand, you stay in that house every day, and no one says a word, anyone who is not sick can hold back their problems, and it is much better to have a TV." ”

Mentioning this topic, Ji Xiaoou had something to say: "Zhan Yu, I have to criticize you, your mother is just a relative of yours, you are a son, why can't you go home more to accompany your mother?" Why can't you push her out in a wheelchair? ”

Zhan Yu was silent for a while and replied: "There is no elevator in our building, and the wheelchair is inconvenient. ”

Excuse! Ji Xiaoou was a little angry, thinking that if you are really filial, you can go up and down the stairs with your mother on your back. But she hesitated, afraid that the words would be too heavy and embarrassed Zhan Yu, and before she could think about how to speak, Zhan Yu suddenly changed the topic: "Sister, the person who came to deliver the TV in the afternoon is your friend?" ”

Ji Xiaoou remembered that she had been entangled with Yan Yan for half a night, but she forgot to say thank you to him sincerely, and she was a little distracted when she thought about it: "It's just a suitor, friend, it's not for the time being." ”

"The old man! Is he pursuing you? ”

"What old man, people are only in their thirties, okay? It's in its prime. ”

"Thirty is not an old man?" Zhan Yu's tone was no longer than usual, and it seemed extremely mean.

Ji Xiaoou couldn't hold back a smile: "Be fair, Zhan Yu, I'm also about to run thirty, young man, don't be too cruel, you will also have the day of thirty." ”

"He doesn't deserve you at all."

"Come on, don't talk about him." Ji Xiaoou didn't want to continue the topic, "Have you eaten?" ”

Zhan Yu refused to give up: "Have you contacted him in the afternoon?" ”

"What, what's the matter with you?"

"I ...... I...... Sister...... Actually, I ......"

"Yo, what do you have to hide?" Ji Xiaoou teased him, "Look, it's all stammering!" ”

"I ...... I...... Well, I found a bank card in that new shirt. ”

"Oh." This time, Ji Xiaoou retracted his attention, "You put it away, don't lose it." ”

"I don't want it!"

"What?"

"I don't accept handouts from others."

Ji Xiaoou's expression became serious, she turned sideways and said seriously into the microphone: "Zhan Yu, listen, the money in that card is not for you, I temporarily stored it with you." I want you to promise one thing...... Hey, Zhan Yu, are you listening? ”

"Sister, I'll listen."

"Promise me, don't let yourself be exposed to any cold, hunger, and disease, and if they do happen, Promise Sister, you will use the money in that card to stop them, okay?" Ji Xiaoou spoke very literary, she forgot which novel she saw the lines.

The microphone became very quiet, except for Zhan Yu's uneven breathing.

"Zhan Yu?"

"Oh."

"Why are you so absent-minded today? What are you doing? ”

The phone was still silent, and it took a long time for Zhan Yu's voice to come, sullen as if he had a cold: "Sister, no matter what you think of me in the future, when I have the conditions, I will definitely repay you." ”

Ji Xiaoou laughed: "What's wrong with you today?" Look at what you say, repay me? Okay, I want you to promise you to do it? ”

Ji Xiaoou has always treated Zhan Yu as a little brother, just like her cousin Ji Xiaopeng, she is usually used to taking advantage of her cousin's verbal advantage, and she doesn't feel anything wrong at all.

Zhan Yu said, "Do you want me?" I'll give it to you if you want. ”

Ji Xiaoou moved the phone away from his ear a little, and looked at the receiver in surprise, unable to believe that these words came from Zhan Yu's mouth. After a while, she reacted and snorted into the microphone: "Stinky boy, you are out of breath, dare to take advantage of your sister?" ”

Zhan Yu said, "I'm serious. ”

"you."

"Really."

"I'll whip you up again!"

There was a sizzling sound of electricity in the telephone receiver, as if with a hint of imperceptible sigh, lingering behind Ji Xiaoou's ears. Then Zhan Yu said, "Then I'll hang up." ”

Ji Xiaoou held the beeping phone and lost his mind for a moment. She vaguely felt that something was not quite right, but she had always been dull to the details of interpersonal interactions, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, and the matter rolled in her mind and disappeared.
