Xu Zhimu ordered some seafood, in this mountain city, seafood is a rare thing, and the price is naturally not cheap.

Liu Ningqing remembers that the last time she ate seafood seemed to be when her mother was still there, but she only ate a sea fish for dozens of yuan.

In front of me, there was a plate of shrimp alone, as well as some conch shells and a half-human head sized cherry crab.

"These cost a lot of money...... Liu Ningqing was a little afraid to put down the chopsticks, and asked cautiously.

"Okay, I'll treat you today, and you'll be responsible for eating." Xu Zhimu picked up a shrimp and handed it to her.

Liu Ningqing still lowered her head and subconsciously scratched her knees with her hands.

"Do you want me to peel shrimp for you?"

"No, it's not ......" Liu Ningqing shook his head lightly, gritting his teeth, he had to eat less than ten yuan of dandan noodles when he was treated, but when he invited himself, he ordered such expensive seafood.

If it's been like this, won't his favor be repaid all the time?

"I just don't know, what will I use to pay you back in the future......"

Liu Ningqing has very few friends, and even more so since she went to high school, when her classmates travel and go shopping during the holidays, she is working part-time, and when her friends call her to party, she will also refuse again and again because she feels distressed about one or two hundred yuan......

Liu Ningqing is not a fragile person, but the reality of poverty makes her inevitably feel inferior and sensitive.

She will always try her best to return the kindness of others, but since she met him, this kind of kindness has made her not know how to return it......

"You've already paid me back." Xu Zhimu peeled off the shrimp shell, revealing the tight and attractive shrimp meat inside.

If he hadn't been comforted by his junior sister in his previous life, I'm afraid he wouldn't have easily come out of the shadows in the next few years.

If you have to say that you want to return the favor, it should be Xu Zhimu to return it to her.

And if this favor is not finished, it will be counted by the body.

Liu Ningqing was stunned: "When will I pay you back." ”

Xu Zhimu took out the small purse that Liu Ningqing gave before from his arms: "The band-aid in your hand is because of the injury caused by sewing this thing, right?" ”

Liu Ningqing subconsciously put away her hands, but this appearance of being a thief is undoubtedly an admission in disguise.

"It's just a few shrimps, but it's not as good as the injuries you suffered for my gift? Or are you not treating me as a friend at all? Xu Zhimu squinted, pretending to be angry.

"No, no! I didn't mean that. Liu Ningqing hurriedly waved her hand, her cheeks flushed.

"Then eat it, otherwise I won't have the face to accept this gift." Xu Zhimu put the peeled shrimp on the plate in front of her.

"Hmm." Liu Ningqing raised her head and looked at Xu Zhimu carefully, of course she knew that the other party said this just to prevent herself from feeling guilty, but the more he was so improper, the more Liu Ningqing felt that she couldn't forget him.

Really, how can people forget you when you're so gentle......

Liu Ningqing picked up the shrimp he had peeled and took a bite gently, the long-lost taste reminded Liu Ningqing of when her mother was still there......

She didn't even notice it, and a crystal tear slowly slipped from her eyes until a hand held a tissue in front of her.

Liu Ningqing realized that she put down her chopsticks in a panic, wiped her eyes with her hands first.

"I, I'm just ......"

"It's just that the sand is blind, isn't it?" Xu Zhimu smiled and put the tissue into her hand.

He is really a good and gentle person, Liu Ningqing couldn't help but smile.

This smile is like outlining the Milky Way full of stars, and it is like a spring breeze blowing through a mountain stream......

This is a sight on earth that pales in any language.

Xu Zhimu was stunned, Liu Ningqing wiped away her tears, and looked at Xu Zhimu who was staring at her blankly, and her pretty face was visible to the naked eye.

Delicate and beautiful.

"You look so good when you smile."

"How can there be ......?"

The next two of them ate silently, but a strange atmosphere spread between the two.

During this period, Liu Ningqing also trembled and peeled a shrimp for Xu Zhimu with his own hands, this is really the most delicious shrimp Xu Zhimu has ever eaten......

Happy times are always short-lived, after eating, the primary sister put on a mask again, and the two went to the vegetable market first.

It was also in the vegetable market that Xu Zhimu knew that the taciturn elementary school sister on weekdays was so professional in cutting prices.

"Auntie, how much is this green pepper a pound? I'll buy it cheaper. ”

"Uncle, this pork belly has been left for a day, can you get a discount?"

……

Liu Ningqing carried a few plastic bags full of vegetables, looking at Xu Zhimu's smile, she was a little embarrassed.

Xu Zhimu praised: "A businessman who does business is a person who can negotiate everything, bargaining is the real skill, and it is really rare for a girl like you to run a family......"

A burst of praise made Liu Ningqing's face even redder, what kind of housekeeping or something like that, it was simply critical damage to Liu Ningqing.

"I'll send you back."

When I went back from the vegetable market, it was almost nine o'clock, and I could catch the last train.

Liu Ningqing wanted to refuse, but when she thought that he was going to leave tomorrow, her heart was blocked.

"Hmm."

The two waited at the bus stop and waited for nearly twenty minutes before one came.

Coin in the car, fortunately, there are not many people at this point, Liu Ningqing sat by the window, and Xu Zhimu consciously sat next to her.

The two are next to each other, no matter how they look at it, they look like a loving little couple.

Some old ladies looked at the dishes in Liu Ningqing's hands and praised: "You see that there are not many little girls who can buy and cook by themselves now, young people should cherish them." ”

Liu Ningqing blushed and bowed her head silently, while Xu Zhimu nodded to the old lady with a smile.

The drive is not too far, it takes more than ten minutes to get to the place, and it is still a familiar little black road.

Xu Zhimu helped her carry the vegetables and walked silently on the road.

It wasn't until he saw the dilapidated little bungalow that Xu Zhimu stopped and handed the plastic bag to the junior sister: "I'll send you here." ”

Liu Ningqing took it, and in the dark, those eyes seemed to reflect the stars in the sky.

"Go back, I'll watch you go back and rest early." Xu Zhimu waved at her.

Liu Ningqing hummed, took two steps forward with the plastic bag, and seeing that the figure was about to disappear into the darkness, Liu Ningqing suddenly froze.

She turned, and a soft voice passed in the night breeze: "We...... We'll see you again, right?

Xu Zhimu stared at him with a gentle smile.

"Yes, I will definitely see you again."

The junior sister turned around and entered the bungalow, Xu Zhimu glanced up at the starry sky, turned around and left.

Liu Ningqing leaned on the door frame, staring in the direction Xu Zhimu left, the corners of her mouth curled under the mask.

Will definitely see you again.

Back home, Liu Ningqing found her grandmother who was holding insoles in the dim light.

"Ah, grandma, is there still osmanthus at home? I want to make a little osmanthus cake ......"
