Chapter 196: Tortoise and Hare Race. (2-in-1)
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, so heavy that even though it was a weekend, there weren't many people on the streets.
Countless people crowded into late-night coffee shops and fast food restaurants, looking worriedly at the growing snow outside, hoping that the snow would stop so that they could go home quickly.
The wind outside was noisy, and it didn't fit in with the warm spring fast food restaurants and coffee shops.
"Wow, SH hasn't had this much snow in nearly 10 years. A handsome young man complained to the same young girl next to him with a hot cup of coffee.
"yes, that's a shame, it looks like there's no way to do the work I'm going to do at home today. It's snowing so hard, how can people go home!" The girl said with a little guilt while holding a small makeup mirror and applying makeup attentively.
"I don't blame you if I can't finish it, who told it to snow so heavily today, and tell your boss when you go to work tomorrow, under special circumstances today, I believe your boss will definitely be considerate of you." The boy looked at the girl's beautiful face and said flatteringly.
"Well, that's all there is to it. It's really annoying. Obviously, people still want to hurry home and finish all the work that hasn't been done today~" The girl heard the words "I don't blame you when I hear the boy's words, and I am considerate." The guilt of not completing the work on time, just like that, under the "enlightenment" of the handsome boy next to me, it gradually disappeared.
"Hungry? There's nothing good to eat at this coffee shop, I'll order you takeout." The boy smiled when he saw the girl's beautiful face, and after laughing, he took out his phone and prepared to order food on the app.
"Don't order it, with such a big snowfall, how dangerous it is for the little brother who delivers takeaways. The girl watched the boy's actions and quickly stopped.
"You're right!" the boy put away his phone a little ashamedly when he heard the girl's words, and then, looking at the girl's beautiful face, he couldn't help but say, "Baby, you are so kind." ”
On this snowy night, Yang Fan was walking towards the hotel step by step at this time.
The wind and snow were like an intimate couple, using everything they could to hinder Yang Fan's progress.
Yang Fan's thin body, like the plum blossom that was picked in the flower shop before, refused to bow his head in the snowstorm.
In this way, he walked towards the hotel step by step, despite the strong wind and heavy snow.
The small shops with warm lights on both sides of the roadside seem to form a wide and warm embrace, constantly calling Yang Fan into her embrace.
However, Yang Fan couldn't stop himself, not only because he had to hurry back to write tomorrow's outline, but also because he had readers who supported him like the unknown flower shop girl.
He didn't want to live up to the expectations of his readers for his work.
Although, Yang Fan's steps are very firm and steadfast, although Yang Fan's eyes are full of perseverance and persistence, but the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and finally, Yang Fan's thin body can't withstand the violent attack of the wind and snow, and falls.
The cruel cold of the wind and snow, the tiredness of not resting for a day, and the hunger of not eating at night also swept over with this fall, and he lay on the ground as if he had no strength to stand up again.
He just lay on the ground, panting desperately, trying to gather strength desperately to stand up.
However, after trying for a long time, he did not get up because the road was icy.
I don't know how long it was, but there was a loud noise next to him.
He followed the sound and saw a delivery rider riding an electric car, also because the wind and snow were too big and the road was too slippery, and he fell to the side with the car.
The rider, like him, seemed to be tired and cold, and tried several times and did not get up.
He looked at the rider curiously, and the rider looked at him with just as curiosity.
When the two of them saw each other's embarrassed appearance, they both felt inexplicably happy and funny.
On the deserted street, the two laughed in unison.
Yang Fan doesn't know when, he hasn't laughed for a long time, he laughs very without grace, without quality, and not as heavy as before, but he is very happy.
And the rider too, laughed heartily without grace.
The smiles of the two lasted for a while, perhaps because the smiles had a kind of power to infect people's hearts, Yang Fan and the rider suddenly felt full of strength. So, almost at the same time, they stood up in embarrassment.
"I'll help you. After Yang Fan stood up, he seemed to forget the cold and tiredness, and warmly stepped forward to help the rider lift the electric car.
"Thank you. By the way, where are you going?" the rider said with a warm heart as he watched Yang Fan's actions.
"I'm going back to the Northland Hotel. ”
"What a coincidence, I also went to the Northland Hotel to deliver takeaways. Or I'll take you?" the rider kindly suggested after checking whether the takeaway had been spilled.
"No need. I want to walk back slowly. Yang Fan shook his head and rejected the rider's offer.
"The snow is so heavy, you're welcome. Don't underestimate my little donkey, I've used it to bring three people before. The rider thought that Yang Fan was afraid of trouble, and kindly suggested again.
"I really don't need to, I want to remember how it felt. ”
"Do you feel like you're falling?"
"Well, the feeling of falling. ”
"There's nothing to remember about this, there is no other feeling than being embarrassed and hurting when you fall. I'd better give you there, or you'll have to walk twenty-five minutes to get to the Northland Hotel." ”
"No, you're wrong, and the feeling of standing up. Yang Fan smiled and then teased:
"Thank you for your kindness, but you really don't have to send me, you can go quickly, don't be late for the delivery. Heavy snow, ride slowly. Don't fall again, if you do, maybe no one will help you up. ”
"How does it feel to stand up? Forget it, then I'll go first. Although the rider still wanted to say more, looking at the persistent Yang Fan, he still chose to respect his ideas.
After seeing Yang Fan go away, the rider got on the car and wanted to start the electric car.
However, no matter how much he tried, the electric car did not start.
He hurriedly got out of the car and checked his electric car, and he found that his electric car battery was leaking.
This made him anxious with a dense layer of sweat on his forehead, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, there were less than fifteen minutes left before the time to hand in the order, and he began to panic.
However, the dedication and quality of his profession quickly calmed him down. It also made him make an impulsive decision.
That decision was to lock the electric car, take the takeaway, and run to the Northland Hotel.
He hurriedly put the battery car aside and locked it, took the hot takeaway in his arms, and began to run.
Looking at the distant destination, he gritted his teeth and began to run hard against the wind and snow.
The whistling wind in his ears and the food delivery point with no destination in sight made his steps begin to become heavy.
He quickly caught up with Yang Fan, and then, he quickly overtook Yang Fan.
Yang Fan looked at the unknown rider, holding the bloated takeaway of the down jacket with one hand, while running slowly, he quickly guessed the reason for the unknown rider to run.
However, Yang Fan just shook his head, and didn't make any moves except for sighing again.
Yang Fan walked cautiously step by step like this, while watching the rider in front of him run.
Then, he saw the rider fall again in embarrassment due to his panic and slippery road.
Then he saw the rider desperately get to his feet, run a few more steps, and fall again.
Then he saw the rider's back trying to stand up again, trying to keep running but couldn't.
This made Yang Fan's heart suddenly surge with an impulse, and it also made him start to speed up his pace and catch up with the rider.
"Let's run. Yang Fan picked up the rider and said.
"Good. The rider gritted his teeth and nodded.
So, the two began to run slowly down the street.
"Look, these two don't look like tortoises and rabbits racing?" Maybe because the music in the coffee shop made people sleepy and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, making the coffee shop lifeless, in order to liven up the atmosphere, the handsome boy pointed to the two people outside the window and said loudly to the girl.
"Tortoise and hare race?" the girl looked at the boy's pretty fingers, and then, she was startled.
Because, she saw the picture of two people, who kept falling down in the snow, kept supporting each other, and then ran.
Not only the girl, but the entire coffee shop was filled with mixed feelings because of the boy's words.
"This red coat and hat is a turtle, you see how slow he runs. And the one in white was the rabbit, running fast, but lazy and waiting for the turtle to fall and get up. The boy thought he was humorous and continued, "Look, does it look like a tortoise and a hare race?"
"Like. Tortoise and hare race. The girl said in a disappointed tone.
"What two fools, what are you running on such a snowy day? How can safety be important at work? I don't care about myself at all. There was a middle-aged woman sitting next to her, who looked at the two people outside the window and said with a sneer.
"yes. As if he had found a soulmate, the boy looked at the middle-aged woman and nodded in agreement:
"It's so pathetic. ”
"Maybe that's the reality, isn't it? The middle-aged woman looked at the two people running around the window and laughed again.
"This is that you don't study hard ****, do you want to become like them in the future?Or do you want to drink coffee elegantly like this aunt?" At a table on the side, the mother grabbed this picture to educate her children who are not studying well and are in high school!
"I don't want to... But... I feel... Are they happy?" said the high school kid, a little rebellious.
"Happy, we are happy when we drink coffee in the warm café in the winter, this is called poor happiness! You know?" said the mother, who hated iron and steel.
"It's good to be poor. At the very least, he can do what he wants, such as running freely on this snowy day. The high school student still said rebelliously.
"You're so angry with me, why don't you go for a run?" said the mother, gritting her teeth.
"Go, go, you wait!" The high school student finally couldn't suppress his rebellious heart when he heard his mother's words, and picked up his down jacket and ran out.
"You... You... Give me back!It's really disobedient, I'm so angry!" Seeing her son run out, the mother yelled in distress and anger.
But no voice can hinder a freedom-loving heart!
"Mom, I'll go home and do my homework first!" the son said angrily and fearfully as he listened to his mother's words.
"See if I go back and don't kill you. The mother looked at her son who was running and said angrily.
"What a white-eyed wolf!waiter!Checkout!" The mother quickly drank the coffee of herself and her son in front of her, and said anxiously.
She's going to chase her son. After all, how can a mother not feel sorry for her son.
"This coffee, I pleased. The young waiter on the side stepped forward and said.
"Huh?" said the mother, stunned.
"I'm proud of your son, so I pleased. The waiter said with a blushing face.
"Proud?"
"Well, he did what he had to do and what he wanted to do. This kind of courage is much stronger than that of some people who use excuses to avoid themselves. The waiter said this vigorously.
"What are you talking about? The mother took the clothes and complained in a low voice.
Subsequently, she lost a 50 dollar. He looked at the waiter and said, "I have money, I don't need to look for it." Tip you for the rest. ”
The moment she turned her head to leave, a smile inexplicably spread across her face.
That smile is the smile that someone praises their child and is proud.
After the mother and high school students left, the café fell into an eerie silence.
And the two tortoise and rabbit racing characters outside the window have already run out of the world outside the window.
"I'm going back to work. The pretty girl hesitated and broke the silence.
"You're sick with such a heavy snow, aren't you? The handsome boy said aggrievedly.
"I don't want to be like some people who use excuses to escape life. The girl in the down jacket picked up the bag and walked out of the coffee shop.
Tonight, the girl is really beautiful with that snowy night.
"Looks like I got there first. Brother, you can't. The rider looked at Yang Fan with a smile and said.
"Next time, I'll compare when I have dinner!" Yang Fan said a little unconvinced.
"Well, I'll compare next time. Thankfully, it caught up. The rider took out his mobile phone, took out the takeaway from his arms and said with a smile.
"Why are you so slow!, are your takeaways delivered by card points?" a snarky voice came.
It was Dolphin Net writer Feng Lin who spoke. At this time, she stepped forward impatiently and stretched out her hand to ask for takeout.
"I'm sorry, not anymore. Although the rider's face was a little unhappy, life still made him bow his head and apologize.
"The burgers are flattened!What kind of delivery man are you!Either double the money or get a one-star bad review!" Feng Lin yelled angrily as he looked at the deformed takeaway.
"Don't give me a one-star review, I'll give you money!" the rider pleaded, and he fumbled in his pocket to find his wallet, locked in the trunk of the electric car.
"Where's the money?" Feng Lin couldn't help but urge impatiently as he looked at the rider's embarrassed appearance.
"The money is here. Yang Fan looked at the rider's appearance, took out his wallet from his pocket, took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Fenglin.
"Yo, isn't this the tenth ranked I'm Fan Fan? Is this your friend? It seems that what kind of person makes what kind of friend!" Maybe because on the first day, Yang Fan deliberately hid his strength and made a "coward" image in front of Lanyue, making Feng Lin feel that Yang Fan was an "honest man" who could be bullied at will, just like Xi Xi!
This made her tone full of disdain and contempt!
"Well, this is my friend, a very good person. Yang Fan regained his previous calm appearance and said.
"Excellent, where is excellent, just a broken food delivery!" Feng Lin sneered.
At least, he remembered what it was like to fall down and get up. Yang Fan looked at Feng Lin, who judged people by appearance, and said word by word.
"Chicken soup again, why don't you give you the nickname Prince of Chicken Soup?" Feng Lin sneered as he listened to Yang Fan's intriguing words.
Then, she saw the anger hidden in Yang Fan's bottomless eyes, and the anger of this "honest man" made her involuntarily take a few steps back.
"You remember, if you can't do it, and you say something that makes a big sense, it's chicken soup. But if you can do what you say, it's experience and experience!"
"Although there are many rules in the writer's world that I don't agree with, there is one rule that I agree with. That is, the world of writers speaks with strength, and your strength makes you unable to make me care at all no matter what you say!"
"And you!" After Yang Fan finished speaking, he looked at the overwhelmed rider and continued:
"You have to remember. The feeling of falling, whether it is painful or embarrassing! That is the motivation for you to get up! Remember to fall! You can get up! Don't bow your head for anyone because of anything! Because this era belongs to all those who work hard! This is the era that we will never give up on standing up!"
Yang Fan looked at these two people who were at a loss, or were frightened by himself, he just stuffed the money to the rider.
"I have time to read my novel "Daifuku is a Dog", which changed a lot of people. ”
Then, step by step, he walked towards the hotel.
The rider held the two hundred dollars with the temperature in his hand and made a decision.
That is, he stuffed the money to Feng Lin, and said indifferently: "I have done my best, and I have run all the way." It doesn't matter if you give me a five-star review, or a one-star bad review. Because I learned a lot on the way to deliver food. ”
"Also, I can't deliver food for the rest of my life. And this chicken soup is delicious!"
