Chapter 146: Epilogue: Five Years Later
Five years later.
This year's spring in Lucheng bloomed exceptionally early, just after the beginning of the year, and the warmer temperature made everything vibrant, and even the wind was no longer cold.
Therefore, the "Quji Sweet Fruit Shop" in Hualing Lane has a particularly good business!
The proprietress is a shrewd and capable middle-aged woman with a warm smile and a warm and amiable face. There is also a big white cat in the store, with a snow-white body and turquoise eyes, which doze lazily across the shelves on weekdays when no one is around.
This is an old cat, but it can be seen that it has been carefully cared for, and its white fur is fluffy and soft, shiny, and it is the "treasure of the town" in the store!
"Snow Baby...... I'm back! ”
The door was pushed open, and a young girl walked in with an umbrella.
The spring rain continued to fall, and the raindrops blown by the wind were as thin as cotton silk and stuck to the girl's black hair. The girl's voice is sweet, her appearance is delicate and smart, and her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she laughs, like a naughty rabbit.
Qu's mother, who had just sent away a group of customers, turned around and saw her daughter Qu Shake walking in with a small bag.
"You got off work so early today?"
"Well, there's nothing going on today, the editor-in-chief told us to go home early and not have to work overtime."
Qu Shaosha, who majored in Chinese language and literature in college, joined a publishing house after graduation. I usually write manuscripts and compile articles, and occasionally work overtime for a while...... But other than that, it's a good job.
Heavy snow jumped off the shelves, stretched, and flicked his tail. Qu shook the water droplets on her trouser legs, and picked it up before the snow rubbed her.
"My old baby...... Did you miss me? ”
Daxue may be old and extremely sensitive to the word "old", so he reached out and gave Qu Shao a paw.
Qu shook his hand and let go of his hand, and Daxue immediately jumped on the counter and whined at Qu's mother.
"Oh, where are we Cher? Sling the bull! Mommy beats her oh ......"
Qu's mother pretended to "hit" Qu Shao several times, and Daxue showed a smug little expression, and shrank in Qu's mother's arms and didn't move.
"Mom...... You spoil it like this, and it is getting more and more tea-like. Qu shook indignantly accused.
Qu's mother glared: "What tea?" You're only tea! It's just a little cute cat! ”
Qu Sha Sha: "......"
It's an "old cute" cat, right? It's still a pig and a cat that weighs nearly 20 pounds......
In the blink of an eye, there were several more waves of customers in the store, and Qu's mother was busy, and Qu Shaoyao had already fought with Daxue on the counter for several rounds.
In the end, Qu Shao was tired, unilaterally declared a truce, took out a box of black plum tomatoes from the refrigerator, and ate it.
When the customers in the store were almost gone, Qu's mother sat down to take a breath and asked Qu Shaosha: "Xixi has been very busy lately, right?" It's been a long time since I've seen her......"
Qu shook and ate happily, and said, "Yes! She's been busy with the bar exam lately...... I heard that the exam is particularly difficult, much more difficult than the college entrance examination! Now she is hanging over the beam every day, and she is working harder than she did in the college entrance examination! ”
Qu's mother nodded, "This kid has been smart since he was a child, and he is also angry!" I told her mother that she wouldn't go abroad and wanted to go to the law department of Lu University...... Hey, people really got in! Now this bar exam, there is no problem with the designation! ”
As he was talking, Qu Sha's mobile phone rang and he received a message.
Xia Chengxi, who was preparing for the exam at home, drank milk tea, chewed potato chips, reclined on the lazy chair on the balcony and watched the rain outside the window, while complaining to Qu Shao.
"Jiang Zhihuai, this fart worm, said that he would accompany me to the exam!"
Xia Chengxi is annoyed!
Back then, this Jiang Zhihuai was also a scholar on the same level as Pei Yue, and his college entrance examination score was also sky-high. As a result, he didn't choose so many top universities in the country, but he wanted to squeeze the same Luda with Xia Chengxi, and since then he has become her number one follower.
Ask him why?
He said that he would protect the eldest sister forever! And he couldn't get used to eating food from other places......
So he came and went, and it evolved into today's situation, no matter what Xia Chengxi does, he has to accompany him in some form, rain or shine, it is simply moving.
Qu shook his way to say that he was shocked.
"Huh? He also took the judicial exam? How to take the exam, he didn't graduate in law. ”
"No, what kind of qualifications did he test them for...... What's it called? Tell me once, I forgot...... Anyway, it's hard to get in. ”
"Well, aren't you impressed? Why don't you just make a promise? ”
Qu Shao waited for many years, and finally had the opportunity to return this "arrow" to Xia Chengxi, and gloated to pull up Lang Match.
Xia Chengxi: "Go, go...... Touched by a fart! The old lady is annoyed when she sees him! ”
Qu shook his aunt's smile, and he didn't know who it was, but whenever a little girl got closer to Jiang Zhihuai, she would immediately get angry......
"Woman, you don't have a heart."
"Bah, do you think I'm Brother Jiang? Love brain, scared away the three little girls......"
"You show respect, people are now physical education teachers, please call them Teacher Jiang, okay? Otherwise, the children will be sad......"
The two chatted for a while, and the topic unconsciously turned to the person.
"Is there still no news that he is coming back this year?" Xia Chengxi asked.
Qu Shao shook for a while before replying: "I don't know...... Maybe it won't come back. ”
Five years ago, when she arrived at the airport on a small electric donkey, Pei Yue's plane had already flown off.
Now five years have passed, and this person has not heard from him, and he said that he would ask her to wait for him to come back, but he graduated from college and did not see anyone......
Swindler.
Qu shook silently in his heart, knowing that he shouldn't have believed him in the first place.
What number plate? Trick her around......
"It's mainly Jiang Zhihuai's dead guy, and he didn't give a quasi-letter! Really...... What use do you want him? Xia Chengxi said angrily.
Qu shook back to a sticking emoji.
Xia Chengxi: "Why don't you ...... You wait? ”
Qu Shao looked at this message and was silent for a few seconds, then turned off the phone screen.
There were more customers in the store, she said hello to Qu's mother, picked up the heavy snow, turned around and walked out of the store with an umbrella.
The gentle spring rain poured down the alley with a faint, foggy color. The small droplets floated to the yellow-flowered bell tree at the entrance of the alley, to the brick wall of the small courtyard, and to the umbrellas of pedestrians, rolling and gathering like thousands of small pearls that shimmered with brilliance.
Qu Shao held the heavy snow, held the umbrella, and walked into the alley step by step.
Suddenly, the snow in her arms became restless, and "Meow" screamed twice, struggling as if trying to get out of her embrace.
Qu Shao was startled, not knowing what was going on. Then she looked up at this time and saw Pei Yue standing in front of her house, holding a black umbrella and dragging a suitcase.
Five years seemed to freeze, and the young man in front of me, who had grown up, and the handsome young man in a white shirt in my memory overlapped.
An angular side face, starry eyes, and an expressionless face when angry...... A light breeze mixed with a drizzle, and a faint scent of orange blossom pierced through the time and permeated the surrounding air.
The corners of Qu Shao's eyes were already soaked, and she stood in the rain in a daze, until the handsome man smiled at her and said silently, "...... I am back. ”
