Chapter 158: Wishful Thinking
Li Huaishan poked me on the shoulder, and I just stared stupidly at the alley outside the door.
I forgot what Li Huaishan said in my ear, but I remember that day was October 30, 2007, Ding Hai year Gengxu month Ding You day, my solar birthday has passed more than two months, and one more day will be Lao Zuo's solar birthday.
All I remember was that the midday sun was beautiful, and everything in the alley had turned so opportunely a soft golden yellow, a golden yellow that should have been there before dusk.
At noon, a small figure appeared in the alley in front of me, she was lazily pacing in the alley with her hands behind her back, she had a face cleaner than the sun, and her eyes flowed, revealing a faint casualness and deep agility.
There was no crowd, no traffic, and the tranquility in the old alley seemed to be specially prepared for her, and when I saw her for the first time, I couldn't take my eyes off it.
Seeing the girl in the alley turn into a jewelry store, I also unconsciously got up from the sofa and raised my legs to walk out of the store.
Li Huaishan grabbed me: "Why are you here, enchanted?" β
I came back to my senses, but I still asked Li Huaishan without a trace: "Do you know her?" β
Li Huaishan looked at me like a madman: "Who? β
I didn't speak, just tiptoed and craned my neck to look out the door.
Someone once asked me and Li Huaishan what it was like to fall in love at first sight.
Li Huaishan said that love at first sight is that when you see a woman on the street, you immediately have a very strong, almost uncontrollable desire to have sex with her, and this desire forces you to get close to the other party, knowing that you get what you want, you will gradually find that she is not as good as you imagined.
I think Li Huaishan would say this because he has never felt love at first sight.
I thought that love at first sight was the moment you met her, and the whole life was suddenly complete.
It doesn't matter what happened before or what will happen in the future, as long as she's here, it doesn't matter.
Or, this is what Yan Yanan calls "living in the moment".
I stood silently in front of the door, watching her come out of the jewelry store and silently watching her lazily pace in the alley.
The alley was bright, and the shop was so dim that I could see her, but she couldn't see me.
Li Huaishan leaned in front of me and looked out in front of my eyes: "Yo, these two little girls are handsome." If not, you wouldn't have fallen into the river, would you? β
I stared out the door and absentmindedly asked, "What river is falling?" β
Li Huaishan: "Love the river, what other river." β
I still looked out the door and didn't speak.
Li Huaishan made noise on the side again: "It's not me talking about you, you have just broken up with your ex-girlfriend for a month, and it doesn't seem good that you fell in love with someone else so quickly." β
I still didn't speak, but Li Huaishan continued to mumble: "But speaking of which, you and that Xiaohui don't have a deep relationship, I think it's ......."
I reached out to cover his mouth and made another silent gesture at him.
He was so verbose that it seriously affected my mood of appreciating beautiful women.
There is only me at the end of the alley, and no matter how long the people outside walk, they will still come to this door.
Thinking of this, I immediately turned around, rushed to the sofa, put away the magazines on the coffee table, the small quilt on the sofa cushion, and the towels on the armrests of the sofa, took out the broom and pinches, quickly swept the floor, and finally rushed to the freezer, and took out two bottles of soda.
Just as I was about to close the freezer door, two people were talking at the door.
"The old county thrift store? What is this shop for, a pawnshop? β
"Well, the dΓ©cor is quite chic."
The first voice...... It's a woman's voice, and I can't hear anything special.
The second voice is very light, and there is a very comfortable casualness in the lightness.
When I heard this, I felt like I was suddenly relaxed, and the strength on my elbows and knees was removed at once.
As I expected, they quickly stepped through the threshold, and I handed them the two bottles of soda that I had prepared.
She looked at the soda in my hand, raised her eyelids slightly, and then smiled slightly in surprise.
The other woman seemed to be saying something, but I didn't hear it.
I reached out to her: "The rule in our store is that all customers who come to the door, whether they are doing business or not, will give a bottle of soda first." β
Since I am a bad guy and can't lie, from today onwards, there is a new rule in the store, that is, anyone who enters the door will give a bottle of soda, even if the other party is my enemy.
"Thank you."
She thanked her in that comforting voice, then reached out and took the water bottle.
"Is this shop a pawnshop?" She asked me.
I said, "No, on the surface, we just buy and sell old goods, such as some old furniture with more collectible value, old pianos used in schools, or some pipes, pocket watches and other small items handed down from the Republic of China, we all accept them, and occasionally people come to us to buy such things." β
"On the surface? Do you have any other business behind your back? She laughs.
I said, "I can't tell you that, we don't do illegal business anyway." β
"Do you have to stare at someone like that when you're talking?" She said, staring into my eyes.
I smiled, "Not usually. β
She smiled quickly, and then shoved the unopened soda into my arms.
Before I could realize what had happened, she had already pulled her partner out of the thrift store.
I heard her female companion say, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave, you haven't gone shopping yet?" β
She said, "Don't you think that person just now is weird, if you don't leave, something might happen." β
I wanted to chase it out, but Li Huaishan grabbed me: "Why are you going?" β
I said, "I don't know her name yet?" β
Li Huaishan pulled my arm hard: "You wait for me!" Dude, I didn't say you, you looked really scary just now, just staring at people like that, as if you were obsessed. You wait for a while, and then chase after them when they are far away, otherwise they will definitely call the police immediately. β
I scratched my temple: "The way I was just now...... Isn't it scary? β
Li Huaishan rolled his eyes: "It's not just scary, you're just terrifying, I'm watching from the side, it feels like watching a horror movie." No, what kind of way are you, it is said that since you have been in love, you should have chased girls, right, even if you fall in love with someone at first sight, you can't lose your mind, what should you do, what should not be done, you should have a number in your heart, right? β
I said, "I haven't chased girls, Xiaohui and I naturally got along at the beginning, and no one chased anyone." β
Li Huaishan pursed his lips: "Naturally, it's good?" How could such a thing happen? β
I ignored him, just stared at the door, and seeing that she and her companion were about to reach the mouth of the alley, I knew that I could not delay any longer, and hurried out.
Don't get a taxi, don't get a taxi, don't get a taxi......
I thought about it over and over again as I ran.
Luckily, when I rushed out of the alley, she and her female companion were standing on the side of the road, not waiting for a taxi yet.
As soon as she saw me, she became nervous.
I couldn't care so much anymore, so I asked, "What's your name?" β
She seemed to distrust me, and reluctantly replied, "Does my name have anything to do with you?" β
I immediately became embarrassed when she questioned me like this, and then I realized that it was indeed not polite to ask someone's name so abruptly, and even a little bit of an invasion of the other person's privacy.
I didn't know what to say for a while, and she was silent, staring at me with very vigilant eyes.
After a while, the female companion beside her suddenly spoke: "Her name is Shao Kewei, we usually call her Young Master, you can call her Xiao Wei." Ah, the place where we work is not far from you, you know No. 7 Middle School, she teaches English, I teach ......."
I won't listen to the rest of the story.
I gave Shao Ke the only peaceful smile and said to her: "My name is Yu Ruofei, I am a single person." β
At the stall where I was talking, a taxi came to the side of the road, Shao Kewei immediately reached out to stop it, and pulled the female companion who was still talking to me into the car.
In the seconds before the taxi drove away.
I heard Shao Kewei say, "Eldest sister, what kind of nerves are you having, why do you want to tell him my information." β
Her female companion said...... Her female companion seems to say, I don't think I'm like a bad guy or something, I can't remember, but that's what it basically means.
Until the car drove away, I was still standing on the side of the road, stupidly watching the rear of the car that gradually deviated to the main road, and my mind was full of thoughts.
This is the only time Shao Ke and I meet, there is no mutual affection, only wishful thinking at first sight.
Since I met her, I have been fantasizing all afternoon about how to meet her by chance in Seventh Middle School, and how to start the kind of relationship I was expecting, hehe, now that I think about it, I really became a fool that afternoon, there was only one person's shadow in my mind, and I forgot everything else, and I forgot what Zhao Zongxin said to me before.
He said that I will meet peach blossoms in this month, but this peach blossom must not be forced, otherwise, the good peach blossom will become a rotten peach blossom.
I don't know if I was destined to be unable to force this marriage, but early the next morning, when I was going to run to the gate of No. 7 Middle School to block Shao Kewei, I called early or late and asked me to go to the ghost strings.
This phone call disrupted my plan and made me very disgusted, but I also said that I was summoned back this time because there were 100,000 urgent matters to discuss with me.
I grabbed the phone and asked him angrily, "What the hell is going on, can't you talk about it on the phone?" β
Yan Liyan: "Actually, the uncle asked me to contact you." He plans to let you go to the case of Su Yunbin's murder. β
I suddenly frowned: "Why me, what does his death have to do with me?" β
There was a bit of helplessness in Yu Liyan's voice: "After all, Su Yunbin is your seventh uncle and grandfather, and in the entire old family, you have the closest relationship with him." What's more, the second master is not in the family now, and the people of those sects only believe in you. β
I scratched my head a little irritably: "Trust me? They don't know me, so why do they believe me? β
Yu Liyan said: "Because you are a yin cha, and you are also the descendant of the bone-destroying hand." Another very important reason is that you defeated Yu Zizheng in the ring. β
