Chapter Forty-Eight: The More You Can't Get It, The More You Want
Looking at the two black panda eyes in the mirror, Bai Zhi almost doubted her zodiac signs. After hesitating in front of the mirror for a few minutes, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't fried today's noon dish yet, and hurriedly rushed into the kitchen to get busy.
Meals at noon are usually packed in an insulated box, and leftover vegetables and rice that cannot be filled are put in the refrigerator and eaten hot at night.
After a long search, I finally found a set of clothes that could match today's smoky makeup. The panda eyes in the mirror, even after rubbing the grease and powder, still leave traces.
When I was about to get downstairs, I took out yesterday's breakfast discount card from my pocket, thinking about how rich and cheap the breakfast was, and my mood suddenly improved.
The handsome waiter had already shouted the eternally heard slogan of "Welcome" on the side of the street, Bai Zhi walked over quickly, took the card in his hand and asked, "Handsome guy, can this discount card be used today?" ”
The handsome guy recognized her at a glance and said with a smile, "Yes." We've already reserved a spot for you. ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation and invited Bai Zhi into the restaurant for dinner.
Bai Zhi thought in her heart at that time that there were few people opening new stores and reserved places, and the current boastful sales style was really nothing new.
But Bai Zhi has already entered the store and was slapped in the face! As soon as they pushed them in, it was already overcrowded, and there was a long queue in front of the cash register.
Bai Zhi turned to the handsome guy and said, "There are so many of them." ”
The handsome guy smiled proudly and said: "Originally, there were more people, but in some close places, we delivered food to the door for free, which reduced the pressure in the store a little." ”
As he spoke, he took Bai Zhi to the predetermined position upstairs. Bai Zhi followed behind, and couldn't help but be a little stunned. I didn't glance at it that day, but I didn't have a good look at this store, and it turned out that there was another layer on it.
As soon as the handsome guy pushed open the door on the second floor, the hall was simply full. In addition to the window, there is a single seat. Bai Zhi thought to herself: This service is also very thoughtful, and the position of a single seat is simply the finishing touch of this store!
The handsome guy really led Bai Zhi to sit down in a single position by the window, and then said, "Madam, since it is the first time you use a discount card to consume, the meal is not specified." But they are all signboards of our store. ”
Bai Zhi was very satisfied with this wave of service, although she was a little unhappy that she couldn't order food independently. But the handsome guy said that the first order is not specified, then the second time you can order freely, so when you think about it, you still don't suffer a loss, don't worry.
Bai Zhi smiled and nodded. The handsome guy also responded with a smile and went downstairs.
This window position is indeed a must for lonely men and women! A fresh breeze blew in the slightly open windows, the sky in the distance was still showing some fish belly white, and the traffic and people on the street were still a little silent.
All this is so exquisite, everything is so quiet, and the people in the hall are all bowing their heads, whispering, and savoring the breakfast in front of them.
After a while, the handsome guy came with his signature breakfast, and saw two xiaolongbao, two dumplings, two taro-flavored steamed buns, one pickle, and a small bowl of mung bean porridge.
"Madam, I see that you are alone, so you can prepare a breakfast, you can call me, if it is not enough." The handsome guy put aside the lid of the bowl that was left after opening it, and looked at Bai Zhi with a smile.
Bai Zhi looked at the food in front of her, and her eyes were about to glow. Look, this quality of service, this quality of breakfast, what else can she not be satisfied with.
The originally smiling face suddenly darkened a little, and Bai Zhi asked in a low voice, "Handsome guy, how much is this meal?" As soon as she said this, she regretted it.
She feels like a dirt bun, if it's expensive, she won't come next time, why ask!
The handsome guy was also embarrassed by this question, but his good professional accomplishment made him immediately change into his signature smile, and after silently counting, he whispered: "Hello, ma'am, a total of five yuan was consumed." ”
"What?" Bai Zhi almost bounced up from her seat in surprise when she heard the handsome guy's answer, and the hall was quiet for a while, and everyone looked over here.
Bai Zhi looked around, then sat down as if she was fine, and confirmed again: "You're not mistaken, right?" ”
The corners of the handsome guy's mouth twitched, but he still smiled and said, "Madam, I'm sure I'm right." If you use a discount card, you only need to pay 2.5 yuan in cash. ”
Listening to the 2.5 yuan, the sentence that popped out of Bai Zhi's head was "You are 250". He shook his head and said with a smile, "I see." Thank you! ”
The handsome guy also smiled and nodded, and went downstairs with the bowl lid on the side.
Bai Zhi rubbed her eyes and confirmed again. The xiaolongbao, steamed buns, and porridge in front of me are still steaming.
Pick up the chopsticks, put a xiaolongbao in your mouth and blow it, the fragrance will float out, and then gently bite into it, it is simply thin skin and filling, and the juice is full of mouth. Just take a sip of porridge, and it feels like a fairyland!
The noise of people and cars outside the window gradually became clearer, and the group in the hall also changed. Bai Zhi opened her phone, and the time was almost eight o'clock.
After swallowing the rest of the food, he picked up the paper towel on the table to wipe his mouth, and hurriedly carried his bag and lunch box downstairs to settle the bill.
The handsome guy really didn't joke, and when he checked out, after the discount, he really only accepted so much cash.
Bai Zhi finally caught the No. 1 bus in a hurry. When I got off the train at the platform not far from the training class, I saw Lin Wen waiting at the entrance of the hall.
Lin Wen saw her from afar, so he greeted and said, "Bai Zhi," and he didn't forget to wave his slender jade hand here, and the people around him also looked at her.
Bai Zhi walked over and said angrily, "What are you roaring at? ”
Lin Wen was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and said very shyly: "I'm happy to see you coming." ”
Bai Zhi didn't want to pay any more attention to him, so she staggered over, thinking to herself: I was in a hurry just now, and I don't know if the food in the thermos box was spilled again. At this time, in my mind, the scene of Lecturer Zhang sandwiching meat slices came to mind a few days ago, and my heart was excited.
The class is still the usual time, but sometimes Lin Wen deliberately teases her halfway, but she ignores it, and slowly gets tired of the fun, so she no longer chatters on the side.
During the recess, sorting out his notes, Lin Wen stretched out his head and said, "Bai Zhi, do you have to go to work later?" ”
Seeing that she didn't respond, she said, "I deliberately followed you that day." That's why you're ......"
Bai Zhi finally raised her head, she didn't expect that someone would not attend a good class and do such a boring thing, and the anger in her heart that hated iron could not become steel came up: "Are you all boring? If you don't have a good class, do you know how expensive this class is, and you're so wasteful! ”
The cost of the postgraduate training course is the most expensive of all the learning and training, not to mention, this training institution has some decades of reputation, and the cost is naturally different.
Lin Wen thought that she would be curious about why she followed her, but she didn't expect to see what she meant, it was a bit too fussful. Said angrily, "I don't care about you." ”
At the end, he also said a very hurtful sentence: "Besides, I didn't spend your money on the training class, what are you worried about!" ”
Looking at Lin Wen carefully now, Bai Zhi suddenly felt that the boy in front of him was so childish, taking his parents' money to study here, even if he didn't listen to the class, he seemed to take it for granted.
Bai Zhi felt sad: "I can't control it." But do you think your parents have easy money? Every penny is saved by hard work. You don't know how to cherish it. ”
Lin Wen felt a little hurt, he didn't understand, it was just skipping a class, what kind of waste was it?
Lin Wen said: "Who said I don't understand. I skipped that class, but then I also read the book by myself and asked Lecturer Zhang to make up for it....." Lin Wenyi was straightforward at first, but later his voice was like a fly lazily flapping its wings.
His heart was empty.
It's like Lin Wenhui suddenly thinks of some memories of the past, and when he thinks about it, he is just a student who has not yet graduated, and he has not experienced social pressure, how can he understand that without economic independence, his personality will not be perfect.
Lin Wen raised his head slowly, and Bai Zhi didn't speak again, just quietly sorted out his notes. When Lin Wen saw Bai Zhi's attitude, his heart suddenly felt a little tingling, and he was a little angry for a while.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Lin Wen got up frizzily, crossed his hands on his waist, and grabbed his hair indiscriminately to control his emotions, but he still broke out: "Bai Zhi, I hate you like this the most." Silent, always silent. Appear to be very tall! ”
The people around were surprised by this sudden shout, and their eyes turned to them.
The pen in Bai Zhi's hand paused, put on the pen cover, and slowly got up, her eyes were still faint, but her heart had already burst the embankment.
"Everyone has only one life, who should give in or be at the bottom for whom? Lin Wen, the class you skipped is your own business, just because I just said the wrong thing. I'm sorry. ”
When Lin Wen heard this cry of sorry, he actually had a feeling of heartache like a knife. I regret that I was too reckless just now.
During class, Lin Wen thought a lot, but he never understood that his behavior of skipping class would make Bai Zhi so angry, but now the people around him were busy listening to the class, and they couldn't see a little wave on their faces.
I began to feel annoyed again. He just wanted her to be surprised and embarrassed when she found out about it. If you are more sincere, it is okay to be moved.
Lin Wen leaned over slightly, gently poked her twice with his crutches, and whispered, "Are you angry?" ”
Bai Zhi: "No. ”
Lin Wen: "I, it was wrong for me to yell at you in public just now. Why don't you tell me why you're angry? ”
Bai Zhi: "I said, I'm not angry. ”
If Lin Wen continues to ask like this, he is just stuck in a dead loop of round after round. I just kept my mouth shut. Maybe in two days, she will be relieved of her anger.
Bai Zhi is indeed not angry, on the contrary, she has a little back lake for herself to be such a nosyman. The boy in front of him is so young, and it is understandable that he does not understand the difficulties of his parents. Even she herself may not be able to fully understand the hardships of her parents.
Maybe you really don't know it until you are a parent.
After Bai Zhi got out of class, she didn't stay anymore, this time Lin Wen didn't play with her rarely, and she consciously gave up her place so that she could come out after class.
She didn't care about thinking about a lot of things, and she was in a hurry all the way to the custody center.
After the card was punched, the bell for class rang just now. Bai Zhi was in a trance throughout the class, and the students shouted several times in their seats before they came back to their senses and threw themselves into a wave of answering questions.
The midday sun was unusually strong. This time, Director Zhang did not come to the door of the classroom to block people, which made Bai Zhi a little glad in her heart, if the next two months can be spent so peacefully, it is undoubtedly the best.
When he walked out of the gate of the custody center, he saw Xia Fan pacing back and forth at the door.
"Xia Fan?" Bai Zhi walked over and shouted.
Xia Fan was dressed in casual clothes, but his face was a little darker, and it seemed that he didn't let him go in the hot summer.
Xia Fan's expression was as light as water, and he said straight to the point: "Teacher Bai, let's find a place to talk." ”
Bai Zhi nodded, but she probably guessed the purpose of Xia Fan's trip to him.
Xia Fan found a teahouse not far from the listodian office, and walked into this teahouse from the hot sun outside, and the coolness hit him for a while.
Xia Fan took a sip of the green tea in front of him and said, "Teacher Bai, have you seen him?" ”
Bai Zhi didn't expect him to ask so directly, put down the teacup he picked up, and nodded.
Xia Fan said: "He carried out important tasks. We didn't know it at first. I didn't know until yesterday when I got the order. No matter what misunderstanding you have, I hope you can understand it. ”
Bai Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "What do I want to understand?" ”
Xia Fan: "I can see that he is really good to you." Don't be mistaken by some rumors that don't match the facts. ”
"As the saying goes, the more you don't get, the more you want. But I won't be so unwilling, I don't want what I can't get. ”
Xia Fan was a little unclear by what he said: "He didn't say in advance that he went out on a mission because he was disciplined." I don't know why you say that, but we all see how good he is to you. There is no possibility of participation. ”
Bai Zhi took a deep breath, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly, "I understand all this. But he's all engaged. What can you let me do? ”
Xia Fan was stunned and said, "Why don't I know about this." Who told you that? ”
Bai Zhi didn't say anything more, just remained silent. Xia Fan didn't want to ask any more questions when he saw her like this.
