"Really, fake? I...... Will I? Huang Li seemed surprised.

"Yes, I don't believe you can try to swim to the other side alone."

Huang Li glanced at the other side, hesitated for a moment, and then said to me, "You swim with me, so I feel safe." ”

"Okay, come on!" So saying, I swam forward.

Huang Li also swam after her, and I deliberately slowed down my speed and kept swimming forward with hers.

It didn't take long for us to swim to the opposite shore, and Huang Li was also excited at this moment, grabbing my arm directly in the water and jumping happily.

"Are you so excited?" After she calmed down a bit, I asked her with a smile.

"Can you not be excited? I've only learned it on day one, am I great? ”

"It's not that you can swim, it's just that you don't know how to breathe, and you just have to overcome your fear of water."

Huang Li said to me with a happy expression: "In order to repay you for teaching me to swim, I will invite you to supper later." ”

……

After we left the swimming pool, we went straight to a nearby barbecue restaurant.

Even though it's past 10 o'clock at night, the business of this barbecue restaurant is still too good, almost full.

79 yuan for one person, 158 yuan for me and Huang Li, which is quite appropriate.

We found a convenient place to sit across from each other, sprinkled oil on the baking paper, and we went to pick up the food, which featured seafood and steak.

Huang Li and I were reincarnated like starving ghosts, and we took a lot of them, almost every dish.

When I got back to my seat and started roasting, I asked her, "You've been to the photo shop for a while, how do you feel?" ”

"Are you asking me or the business of the store?" Huang Li asked me rhetorically as she tinkered with the food on the baking paper with a tong.

"Ask both."

"I'm not bad, I've learned a lot, but I'm tired, and now there are a lot of people every day, and I'm a little too busy."

"That's a good business, isn't it?"

"That's good, your method really saved his life, and he is still thinking about expanding the store and recruiting more people."

I pondered for a moment and then said to Huang Li: "I don't think there's a need to be in such a hurry, how many of his membership cards have been issued?" ”

"The first batch was only ordered for 500 tickets, and all of them were sent."

"That's no problem, don't expand the scale now, take it one step at a time, and make steady progress."

Huang Li looked at me with some surprise and said with a smile: "Why do you care so much about our store's business?" ”

"To be precise, I care about you, and the business in your store is naturally good for you, aren't you selling."

Huang Li smiled bitterly, as if she had something on her mind.

I asked her again, "What's wrong?" ”

Huang Li suddenly put down the clamp in her hand, then sighed softly and said, "I don't want to do it anymore." ”

"Why?"

"The boss seems to like me a little, and always comes to please me, intentionally or unintentionally, and hints at me in various ways...... Actually, I know everything, it's just that I didn't expose him. ”

I don't think this is surprising, because the boss is also single, and Huang Li herself is so good-looking, even if she doesn't usually wear makeup or dress up, she is still beautiful.

It is a truth that men like good-looking women, just as women like rich men.

I was melancholy for a moment, and then asked her, "So what are you going to do now?" ”

Huang Li sighed again: "I don't know, I originally wanted to find a job, but now I have no intention of working, and I have to deal with him every day." ”

I was silent for a while, and then said, "If you really feel this kind of psychological burden, then you better leave." ”

"You approve of me leaving?"

"So what's not? It won't do you any good for him unless you like him too, or let him know that you already have a boyfriend. ”

"That's right!" Huang Li was suddenly surprised and said, "I can tell him that I have a boyfriend." ”

"It's a good idea, but you can't tell him directly, you have to pretend that it's not happening and let him realize it himself...... I'm sure the owner of the shop is still good, and once he knows that you have a boyfriend, he probably won't have any thoughts about you anymore. ”

"Well," Huang Li nodded approvingly, then winked at me again, "Then you can be a good person to the end!" ”

I'm not stupid, so I naturally understood that she wanted me to help her.

I smiled bitterly and said, "How can I do it, he has seen me before, and I have told him that we are friends." ”

"So what! He didn't know what was really going on. ”

As she spoke, Huang Li puffed up her cheeks again as if she was coquettish, and said to me: "Oh, you can help me, and I won't lose a piece of meat for you." ”

I really couldn't stand her being coquettish to me, so I asked her, "How do you want me to help?" ”

Huang Li was silent for a while, and seemed to have thought of a good solution, so she said to me again: "Tomorrow, you will come to our store to find me after work, and then I will tell you how to do it." ”

I nodded in agreement, and then asked her jokingly: "Isn't your boss also single, and you are also single now, don't you have the possibility of developing?" ”

"No, I don't like people like him."

"Then what do you like, if I meet you another day, I can introduce you."

Huang Li didn't say much nonsense, and said directly to me: "I like you like this." ”

Of course, I didn't take it seriously, and smiled back, "I'm serious, I'm not kidding you." ”

"I'm not kidding, if you can still meet someone like you, you can introduce me to it."

I was stunned for a moment this time, forced a smile again, waved my hand and said, "That's impossible, there are no two people with the same personality in this world." ”

"So if you think about it, you're single now anyway, and I'm single too."

I finally realized that she wasn't joking with me, and I didn't know how to answer her anymore, so I had to choose to remain silent.

In my silence, Huang Li asked me again, "Chen Feng, we've known each other for a long time, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"You've never felt anything for me, have you?"

"You've asked me twice about that, and I've told you twice."

Huang Li looked at me calmly and said, "It's only three things, this is the last time." ”

I didn't dare to look at her, and after shifting my gaze, I replied with a smile: "I still answer the same way, I have feelings for you, but we can't be together." ”

"Why, you tell me why can't?"

A light sigh said: "I have been divorced, and I am so much older than you, the most important thing is that I have not completely come out of the shadow of An Lan until now, I am afraid of disappointing you." ”

"I'm not afraid."

"I'm afraid."

Huang Li suddenly fell silent, and after a while, she looked up at me and said, "Then when will you be able to completely come out of An Lan's shadow?" ”

I smiled wryly and said, "I'm afraid it will take a lifetime." ”

"Chen Feng, don't force me to scold you."

"I know I'm just a coward, you can scold if you want."

"I can wait for you, but you have to tell me an exact time, I don't want to wait for you for the rest of my life."

Huang Li's eyes gradually became gentle again, and her tone became gentle.
