Chapter Twenty-Nine: Li Shuxin's Doubts
The evening glow gradually dyed red the high-speed rail line at Ludao North Station.
The evening breeze blows, and the roar of the subway crossing the tracks can be faintly heard.
"Jimei Village Station has arrived, please pay attention when you get off!"
The subway radio sounded 'Putong-Min-English' in two languages and one dialect to report the station in real time.
After Li Shuxin left the station, he was still thinking about the photos he saw in the group today.
The photo of the 'lazy cat' made her feel familiar at first sight, but the other party's behavior was too frivolous, and she openly posted this kind of shirtless photos in the group, which made Li Shuxin's impression of this 'lazy cat' deduct points.
It's just that because he didn't show his full face, Li Shuxin was not sure whether he had seen or knew each other, and he could only keep speculating in his heart.
"It can't be a classmate I used to know, right?"
"It doesn't feel like it...."
Back at the rented house, after dinner, Li Shuxin wore a new apron and washed the dishes, still thinking silently. But after thinking about it, I will be able to meet with each other this Saturday, won't it be clear when the time comes?
The faucet was running with water, and Li Shuxin, who was washing the dishes, squeezed out the dish soap and found that only a little bubble was squeezed out.
She frowned slightly, washed her hands and took off her apron, "I'm running out of dish soap." There weren't many ingredients left in the refrigerator, so I just went downstairs to the supermarket to restock. ”
The apartment is full of people downstairs, and because it is located outside the island, the rent of the B&B apartment is cheap, so there are many people who move here.
After buying something from the supermarket, Li Shuxin came out with a big bag, looked at the balance after paying on the mobile phone, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Last year, I finally saved some money, but this month I moved to live outside the island, and the deposit naturally shrank a lot. Although her salary was paid today, for Li Shuxin, who 'regards wealth as life', this is still far from enough to realize her dream of buying a house!
"If only I could find another job that pays well." Li Shuxin thought silently, carrying the shopping bag and continuing to move forward.
Because of her low salary and the need to rent a house, she had no choice but to work harder than ordinary people.
I happened to pass by the bar where I came out for a walk after eating with Qi Ming last time.
At this time, from time to time, drunk customers stumbled out of the door of this brightly lit bar. There are also women dressed in heavy makeup who come out drunk.
Li Shuxin frowned slightly and quickened her pace slightly.
There are many people of all kinds in urban villages, as well as many young and middle-aged migrant workers. And she, a girl who lives alone, naturally doesn't want to have too much contact with these people.
Just as she was about to leave, Li Shuxin suddenly caught a glimpse of the recruitment notice from last time still posted on the door of the bar.
Recruitment: Male/Female Waiter (Part-time)
Working hours: night shift
Salary: one hour/25 yuan.
Seeing the advertisement for night shift recruitment, Li Shuxin's heart moved and stopped.
"I go to work at 9 a.m. and leave work at 6 p.m. If you have a good time plan, you can come back here after work to work part-time, and although you have to work late, the pay is not low, and if you are lucky, you can occasionally get a tip. ”
Li Shuxin's expression did not change, as if she was thinking. After some ideological struggle, she made a decision.
After dialing the contact number on the advertising list, she walked into the colorful bar without hesitation.

The playground of Heron Island University.
Qi Ming ran around the playground, and the photographer walked backwards with a DSLR camera and took another set of shots for him.
As the sky got dark, Chen Xiaofei proposed to call it a day first. Qi Ming had no opinion, changed his clothes and took them to the girl in charge of logistics.
When the girl saw Qi Ming coming over, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Colonel Qi, what is the relationship between you and Yingchun?" Looks like the two of you are getting along pretty well. ”
"Me and her... Count yourself a friend. Qi Ming pondered for a moment and replied.
"I wasn't dating." The girl was disappointed, and then showed the appearance of female college students getting together to discuss gossip: "Then Xu Xiumin, who confessed to you in the small hall last week, why did you refuse?!" ”
At this time, in addition to the girl, Lin Yingchun also happened to come over and also wore the school uniform she wore during filming, and she also stared at Qi Ming curiously.
This.....
Obviously there is nothing to discuss, I just came over to return the school uniform, why did I encounter such a sharp problem?
The curiosity and gossip of girls are too strong!
Qi Ming thought deeply: "She is very cute, but she is not my ideal wife candidate." ”
The girl and Lin Yingchun, whose eyes were shining with gossip light, were stunned for a moment, and looked at him with wide eyes slightly.
"It's... Colonel Qi, what is your ideal wife? The girl pulled out a packet of potato chips from her logistical supplies and chewed slowly.
"Can you not answer?"
The girl smiled wickedly and turned her head to look at Lin Yingchun: "I finally believe the rumors circulating in the school now, classmate Qi Ming must have had a lot of girlfriends." ”
Lin Yingchun glanced at Qi Ming and kept silent.
"Hey! This is all a matter of three people becoming tigers, and nothing exists! Qi Ming put on a helpless expression of being wronged.
Lin Yingchun's good-looking eyes gave Qi Ming a hygienic eye, and he didn't bother to debunk this guy.
From the first time she and this guy first met, when they chatted, they would know how frivolous each other's words were.
The girl in charge of logistics was eating snacks while watching the excitement: "Colonel Qi, you haven't answered the last question yet?" What's your ideal wife? ”
Perhaps thinking that the description was not appropriate, the girl thought again: "Or what do you think the ideal object should be?" ”
Qi Ming was tormented, and he had long wanted to find a chance to get out quickly, but when he saw that the girl kept asking, Lin Yingchun, who had finished his school uniform on the other side, stared at him silently as if he was watching the excitement for some reason, probably to see how he answered.
Is Qi Ming the kind of person who will make the people who eat melons get their wishes? The answer is clearly not.
"My ideal object...?"
"Hmm!"
Qi Ming didn't even think about it, "My ideal object should be like Yingchun's classmate." ”
There was silence.
In the next second, the girl who was eating the snack couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha!! No, I can't laugh anymore. The girl's eyes stayed on Lin Yingchun, and she teased frantically: "It seems that I know a big secret, cough cough, I will definitely help you keep your mouth shut!" ”
Lin Yingchun, who had always been calm and calm, turned red, "Qi Ming, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Qi Ming spread his hands and said: "It's not just an example, I'm just referring to your character and personality." ”
Hearing the boy's indifferent explanation, Lin Yingchun looked like 'I feel very embarrassed', lowered his head, and gently pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand.
After the small crew formed by several choreographers and directors finally packed up the few things, they left first.
The dusk gradually stained the school building red.
Looking up, a long airplane cloud hung in the bloody sky, splitting the sky above Qi Ming's head in two.
"You like me?" On the way back to the library café, Lin Yingchun asked with a smile.
"It's normal to like beautiful girls, whether they are older or younger, they all have their own attractions." Qi Ming replied unquestioned.
In the summer nights, the air starts to get a little stuffy.
Qi Ming thinks that what type of girl he likes is everyone's own right, and there is no need to be indecisive, just like he deliberately took two steps slower, and his eyes secretly looked at Lin Yingchun's slender long legs under the hem of his skirt.
"Qi Ming, I know I'm very attractive, but please don't look at me with Mimi's eyes." Lin Yingchun turned around and gently protected his hands on his chest.
Qi Ming retracted his gaze, saw her look, and said righteously: "Don't worry, I said before that I'm not interested in girls with small breasts." ”
"So you mean, you're interested if your legs are good-looking?" Lin Yingchun put his hands on the hem of his skirt again.
"That's right, of course I just maintain a primitive love for aesthetics, and there's nothing wrong with that." Qi Ming replied.
"Qi Ming, you are the one who can speak eloquently and skillfully describe you."
Lin Yingchun looked at Qi Ming helplessly with a look of 'I really can't do anything about you'.
"You have wronged me, the master of esthetician Rodin once said: "Beauty is everywhere, and for our eyes, it is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery." ”
Back at the library café, because it closes at 7 p.m., the two discussed the content of tomorrow's script shooting for a while, and then prepared to go to bed.
The clerk had already left work, Lin Yingchun locked the door, and the two walked towards the path back to the art house.
Qi Ming met a couple holding hands on the road passing in front of him, and he asked Lin Yingchun: "Classmate Yingchun, you are well-informed as a 'love koi', haven't you met someone you like?" ”
He hadn't forgotten his simulation task, so Qi Ming asked with the idea of 'feeling it and asking casually'.
The 'Koi Girl' who walked beside him looked at Qi Ming vigilantly, always feeling that he had something to say and had bad intentions.
Qi Ming was inexplicably looked at by her, wondering if this girl with 'special functions' had noticed his thoughts.
Fortunately, Lin Yingchun stared at him for a while, then looked away, and said without hesitation: "No." ”
The Academy is located on a small slope in the East District, and a shuttle bus is parked at the foot of this small slope more than 100 meters high, which is responsible for transporting students who are reluctant to climb the hill on foot.
"What about me?"
Qi Ming glanced at the dormitory building on the hillside in the eastern district, where darkness had already shrouded him.
“.... You? Lin Yingchun asked suspiciously.
"Although I usually give you the impression of frivolous words and nonsense, but other than that, I think I should still be more likable to girls in other aspects, right?"
Lin Yingchun stopped, thought slightly for three seconds, and nodded with satisfaction: "Although you usually like to talk flatteringly and frivolously, but other than that, the overall is indeed a relatively ideal type." ”
"That..."Qi Ming couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and wanted to test his favorability, "Then if you consider it from the aspect of choosing the ideal object, what do you think of me?" ”
After speaking, Qi Ming tentatively showed his trademark smile.
Lin Yingchun was obviously stunned, then turned his face and responded to him with a kind and gentle smile: "Your brain is too stupid, I don't like it." ”
