Chapter 4: A Chance Encounter in a Bookstore
When I woke up the next morning, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
When Yu Ruan Ruan cleaned up and walked out of the room, there was no one in the house, and when he turned on his mobile phone, he went to work.
Yu's mother's message: "Mom is on a business trip, and she will be back in two days, you eat well at home, pay attention to safety, and Dad will come back in the evening."
After breakfast, Yu Ruan Ruan found that there was nothing wrong, so she packed her schoolbag and prepared to go to the bookstore to buy some exercises and books.
Go out and walk to the bus stop at the entrance of the community, get on the bus and go to the bookstore.
Today's weekend, there are quite a lot of people in the bookstore, Yu Ruan Ruan walked into the bookstore and went to the information area to take a look, and then selected a few materials that looked good and went to other places.
This bookstore is very big, just opened, it is estimated that the school is shouting to buy materials, so there are more people in the information area, but there are fewer people in other places.
Yu Ruan Ruan walked slowly, and suddenly saw the author's book she liked, she ran over with a smile on her face and picked it up and looked through it, and found that this was a recently published book, no wonder she hadn't seen it before.
Seeing that it was a new book, Yu Ruan Ruan was even happier, and he didn't pay attention to the environment at the moment, so he sat under the bookshelf and looked at it.
Yu Ruanruan, who was addicted to books, didn't notice that there was a person standing at the end of the bookshelf.
Zhou Yu actually saw Ruan Ruan when she came in, and was still wondering if to say hello, but looking at Yu Ruan Ruan's serious selection of information there, he didn't see him. So he didn't go over, but first chose the information he needed.
He took a fancy to a few books, but they were all in one subject, so he wanted to find a quiet place to take a closer look at them, who knew that when he walked over, he saw Yu Ruan Ruan sitting under the bookshelf reading a book.
Looking at the girl sitting cross-legged reading a book opposite, the sun shone in through the window, and the faint light and shadow shone on her, Zhou Yu felt a feeling of quiet years.
After a long time, when he was asked about the scene when he was attracted to Ruan Ruan for the first time, Zhou Yu recalled that at this time, he thanked himself countless times for going to the bookstore that day and just happened to browse the bookshelf.
But at this moment, Zhou Yu didn't say anything, just like Ruan Ruan, he sat cross-legged not far from her, and opened the information he just took to see.
When she was almost halfway through the book, Yu Ruan Ruan got up and stretched her waist, and then she saw Zhou Yu sitting next to her.
Zhou Yu watched her stand up, put down the book in her hand, stood up, and patted her pants.
"What kind of book are you, look at you so much fun," Zhou Yu looked at Yu Ruan Ruan, pointed to the book in her hand, and spoke in a much gentler tone, Yu Ruan Ruan was quite surprised when she saw Zhou Yu sitting next to her.
"This is a book written by an author I used to like, and it is about the development of ancient Chinese culture," seeing Zhou Yu asked her about what she was interested in, Yu Ruan Ruan rarely spoke a few more words to him.
"Well," Zhou Yu nodded, "You're interested in these books, thinking about how she looked like no one else was looking," Zhou Yu asked
"It's okay, I'm just curious", raising his hand, Yu Ruan Ruan replied.
"Are you going to leave now, let's go together," Zhou Yu asked as he looked at Yu Ruan Ruan beside him.
Well......, Yu Ruan Ruan took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and found that it was indeed not early, so he nodded and said: It's already 12.30, it's not early, but I want to go to dinner first,"
Hearing Yu Ruan Ruan say that he was going to eat, Zhou Yu hesitated, it was indeed time to eat, but he didn't know if he wanted to ask Yu Ruan Ruan to go to dinner together, and before he could think about it, he felt the mobile phone vibrate in his pocket, and a familiar singing voice came from his ears:
βλλ λμ λ€μ΄νμ΄ λ² μ΄λΉμΌοΌ
λμ λμ λ°€νλμ λ³μ΄μΌοΌ
λ§€μΌλ§λ€ κΎΈκ³ μΆμ κΏμ΄μΌοΌβ
Hearing the familiar ringtone, Yu Ruan Ruan took out her mobile phone from the pink strawberry crossbody bag she was carrying, but she found that it was not her phone ringing.
When she looked up and saw Zhou Yu walking towards the door of the bookstore with her mobile phone, she realized that Zhou Yu's ringtone was the same as hers, and it wasn't her own phone ringing just now.
Zhou Yu's ringtone turned out to be the same as his own, Yu Ruan Ruan thought with a blank look on his face.
At this time, Zhou Yu, who walked to the door of the bookstore, still had the gentle appearance in front of Ruan Ruan just now, looking at the familiar number on his mobile phone, Zhou Yu's face became grim, and he hesitated for a few seconds before answering.
"Hey! What's the matter," Listening to Zhou Yu's cold and hard tone when he answered the phone, he didn't know and thought he was answering a sales call, but the other end of the phone was not a stranger, but his father.
It's just that the father and son say that they are relatives, but in fact, they are not much better than strangers, Zhou's father has not been with him well since Zhou Yu was born, every time Zhou Yu sees Zhou's father, he is in a hurry, as if saying a few words to his family will make his company bankrupt.
When he was a child, Zhou Yu often asked his mother why his father was not at home, and he saw his father only a handful of times a year. At that time, the pale mother always squatted down and hugged him and said: "My father is very busy at work in order to give them a better life and to make the company develop well, so that he can understand his father." β
At that time, he was still young and didn't understand what the company was, but he saw that other children in the kindergarten were picked up by his father when they got out of school, and it was always the uncle of the family driver who picked him up, and he wanted his father to pick him up from school.
Later, when he grew up, he realized that his father could not pick him up like other classmates, and he was no longer expecting his father.
Later, his father became busier and busier, sometimes not coming home for several months, and his mother's health became worse and worse, and the time she spent awake became shorter and shorter, and she often stood by the window and stared at the tulips in the yard when she woke up.
Zhou Yu knew that her mother missed her father and wanted her father to accompany her, but she would never say this to her father, she would only look at her father's back in a hurry every time she came and went.
When his mother was getting worse and worse, Zhou Yu called his father, but he only connected, and after his father heard that it was him, he hurriedly said that he needed something to find his mother or a secretary, and hung up the phone.
Zhou Yu can only spend more time with his mother, except for the time when he goes to school, he accompanies his mother, hoping to make her happy and let her stay with him for a little longer.
But no matter how much he insisted, when Zhou Yu was in junior high school, his mother still left him and left.
Since then, Zhou Yu's father seems to have suddenly woken up, no longer regards work as everything, and tries to put down work, spend more time at home, and spend more time taking care of Zhou Yu.
It's just that at that time, Zhou Yu has become indifferent to everything, and he has no emotions in the face of this father who is not at home all the year round.
When school opened, he went to live in the school, leaving only him with his mother and his nominal father in that beautiful house for more than a decade.
From the death of my mother to the present. Zhou Yu had contacted his father only a handful of times, and now he called and didn't know what was going on.
After connecting the phone, Zhou Yu stopped talking after saying a word, and the other end of the phone was silent, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard in the air, and after a while, Zhou Yu's father said the first sentence.
"Xiaoyu, I want to go with your Aunt Sun to get the marriage certificate in a few days, but we don't have a wedding, we just want to call the people in the family to have a meal together."
Zhou's father's words on the other end of the phone gradually blurred, and Zhou Yu only felt that his heart hurt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and he felt that there was a mist gathering in his eyes.
He hurriedly raised his head to look at the white clouds fluttering in the sky, today's sun was a little dazzling, stabbing his eyes painfully.
When he was a freshman in high school, his father told him that he was with Aunt Sun, who was in a nearby flower shop, and that he had gone to stand in front of his mother's grave for an afternoon.
Now his father is getting married, heh, ......, marriage, what is marriage, is it his mother's increasingly pale cheeks, is it the desolation of his father's eyes gradually dimming every time he looks at his father's hurried back, or is it the guilt of his father finding someone who is so similar to his mother to marry in three years.
I don't understand, but he thinks that if he meets the person he loves in the future, he won't wait until he loses it like his father to regret it, and then find a comfort.
"Zhou Yu, how are you, Yu Ruan Ruan walked out of the bookstore and saw Zhou Yu standing in the corner of the left wall of the bookstore looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, she knew that the sky was very blue today, and the clouds were very white, but Zhou Yu had been optimistic for a long time.
When she was in the store, she saw him looking at the white clouds in the sky through the glass, but she didn't know why she looked at his back and felt that Zhou Yu was very sad at this moment.
So after thinking about it in the store, she came out to have a look.
Hearing Yu Yu Ruan's voice, Zhou Yu blinked his eyes, feeling that there was no mist in his eyes, and then turned to look at the girl in front of him who usually never talked to him much.
The girl in front of her is very good-looking, not the kind of showy good-looking, but a gentle and gentle good-looking, probably because she has read a lot of books, she is always surrounded by a very peaceful atmosphere.
is very similar to his mother in his impression, but he has more persistence and persistence than his mother.
"I'm fine, I just think today's day is beautiful, so I watched it for a while."
Zhou Yu replied to Yu Ruan Ruan in a very casual tone, but he didn't know that his eyes were red now, and there was a faint bloodshot, and his usually magnetic voice was now a little hoarse.
Looking at him like this, although Yu Ruan Ruan was very surprised in his heart, he looked as if he hadn't found anything, and handed him the information that Zhou Yu had just put on the cashier.
"Seeing that you are in a hurry, where is the boss asking who it is, I will help you take it out," Yu Ruan Ruan explained when he saw that Zhou Yu did not speak.
"Okay, thank you, I'll transfer it to you how much money," Zhou Yu said Zhou Yu opened his phone to find where to collect and pay and looked at Yu Ruanruan, as if Yu Ruan Ruan didn't open the QR code, he kept looking at her.
Looking at the serious teenager in front of him, Yu Ruan Ruan opened his QR code.
"It's 152 yuan in total."
After paying the money, Yu Ruan Ruan thought of the young man's lonely back just now, and proposed to Zhou Yu: "Do you have something to do in the afternoon, let's go to dinner together if it's okay, I know there is a very delicious claypot rice here, I invite you." β
Zhou Yu originally wanted to eat a little by himself, but now he looked at the girl in front of him with big clear eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her hands stirring on the strap of her bag.
He suddenly felt guilty if he refused.
"Then let's go, but I'll invite you, thank you for helping me take out the book, you lead the way" After speaking, Zhou Yu looked at Yu Ruan Ruan, and he didn't notice that there was no trace of sadness on his face, but on the contrary, there was a smile that was usually hard to see.
Looking at the smile on Zhou Yu's face, Yu Ruan Ruan felt that his mood had also changed inexplicably, a little better than just now when he found out that he liked the author's book.
In this way, the two walked all the way to a treasure restaurant that Yu Ruan Ruan once found when he came to the bookstore.
This restaurant is in the alley behind the bookstore, Yu Ruan Ruan accidentally walked to it when he came last time, although the restaurant is small and old, but it is very clean, and there are quite a few people who come to eat, among which there are not many people who work in office buildings.
So she tried to order her favorite chicken curry and tasted it, and it tasted much better than she expected.
This time, she still ordered its curry chicken claypot rice, and the curry chicken in it won her heart.
When she eats something delicious, Yu Ruan Ruan will close her eyes happily, and Zhou Yu, who is sitting opposite her, looks at her happy appearance, feeling that she is not eating, but feeling the thing called happiness contained in the fireworks in the world.
Zhou Yu ordered a beef, looking at the beef in his bowl, he felt that it was just a normal taste, could it be that Yu Ruan Ruan's was better than his, he suddenly wanted to try it.
Try one the next time you come. Eating beef and thinking about curry chicken, this is Zhou Yu.
After eating, Yu Ruan Ruan touched his bulging belly, subconsciously made a gap, and when he saw Zhou Yu on the other side looking at her in surprise, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and said with a red face: "You heard it wrong, no one hiccups."
Listening to her explanation of the three hundred taels of silver here, Zhou Yu almost choked on himself, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he wiped his mouth with a tissue before he said, "Well, no one hiccuped, I didn't hear it."
After the two of them had eaten, Zhou Yu went to the cashier to settle the bill, and the two of them took the books and left.
Walking out of the narrow alleys is the bright and bustling commercial street of the new city. The two people who were walking slowly to eat and eating were in contrast to the people who were in a hurry around them.
After walking slowly like this for a while, Yu Ruan Ruan stopped at the door of a milk tea shop and didn't leave, looking at her eyes, Zhou Yu looked at the milk tea shop and then at Yu Ruan Ruan's stomach, a little for her stomach pain.
"You wait for me here, I'll come when I go," After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Yu's answer, he ran to the milk tea shop.
Zhou Yu watched her run to the milk tea shop and ordered two cups of milk tea, hmm...... Two cups, looking at the two cups of milk tea in Yu Ruanruan's hand, pink, it should be strawberry flavored.
Yu Ruanruan, who walked in front of Zhou Yu, handed him one of the cups of strawberry Fuji Mountain in his hand, "You invited me to eat just now, and now I invite you to drink milk tea, you won't refuse, I will be sad if you refuse," Yu Ruan Ruan, who had already opened the straw and drank one of the cups, looked at Zhou Yu with innocent eyes.
Hearing this, looking at this look, can Zhou Yu still refuse? The answer was: "No", Zhou Yu had to take one of the cups.
The pink and tender liquid was topped with a white cloud-shaped cream, and a few pieces of strawberry pulp were put on it, as well as chocolate chips, the whole looked pink and beautiful, but it looked wrong in Zhou Yu's hands.
The two people with the same milk tea separated at the bus stop not far from the bookstore and went home.
It's just that after such a morning, there is already something different between the two of them, but neither of them notices.
Yu Ruan Ruan no longer avoided Zhou Yu, but took him to dinner when he found that Zhou Yu was not in the right mood, and bought him a cup of sweet milk tea.
Zhou Yu was originally not interested in anything, but this time not only followed Yu Ruan Ruan to eat, but also took a cup of pink and tender milk tea back.
Zhou Yu is holding a pink and tender milk tea in his hand, and he is still handsome, just like what netizens on the Internet said is a handsome guy with a proper atmosphere. Usually going out is enough to attract attention, but now he is like a little brother who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, don't you look at the milk tea in his hand.
It's not the rush hour for taking the bus, so there are quite few people on the bus, and you can feel the look of the people around you. Zhou Yu felt that the milk tea in his hand was a little hot, although it was icy.
It was an accident to meet Yu Ruan Ruan today, but there are enough accidents today.
Buses whirl the road, occasionally stopping at the platform and waiting for passengers on the bus to get off or people waiting on the platform to get on.
The new city in autumn is still a little hot, and when I wait for the place where I live, the milk tea in Zhou Yu's hand is no longer icy, and it is still a little hot to the touch.
After thinking about it, Zhou Yu still didn't throw it away, but after drinking it in one gulp, he threw the empty cup and went back.
When he was in the car just now, Shen Yue sent him a message, saying that he was at home. After knowing that Zhou Yu had moved here, Shen Yue used his skills to roll around and took the password to the house from Zhou Yu.
After that, Shen Yue seemed to regard this place as his own home, often going in and out.
But every time he came, he would tell Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu also acquiesced in his entry and exit.
According to Shen Youna's cheeky words, he knows that passwords have many benefits.
Zhou Yu asked him to give an example.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I can be a hero to save the bamboo horse."
β¦β¦οΌ
"You see, if one day you get sick and no one takes care of you, and no one knows what to do, if I have the password, I can come and see you, and then find out that you are sick, and then I can save you."
Listening to Shen Yue's serious nonsense, Zhou Yu was rarely silent, didn't Shen Yue know that he had an aunt here who would come to cook and clean up for him regularly.
Forget it, although Shen Yue looked like nonsense, he was also worried about him, Zhou Yu didn't say a lot ......of things, but it didn't mean that he didn't know, this time it was estimated that he heard that his father was going to get married and was afraid that he would be sad, so he came to comfort him.
It was his blessing to meet Shen Yue.
"Hey...... Brother Yu,I think you're a little free here.,Do you want to install a projection?,Then buy a set of games.,Usually the two of me can play games together.γ Shen Yue looked around the house, and finally stood on the sofa in the living room, supported his chin, and said to Zhou Yu after thinking for a while
Forget it, with Shen Yue, he is really convinced of his ability to resist pressure.
"Don't pretend, don't you already have one in your own room, if it's not enough, there's another study."
After speaking, Zhou Yu walked upstairs, ignoring Shen Yue's call below.
