Chapter 71: Hu Xu's "Friend"

Chi Yue, who woke up naturally, followed the warm sunlight to look at the curtains with gaps, and felt the wind blowing.

Returning to the temperature that should be in the golden autumn is rare and refreshing, and even the breeze seems to be gentle.

She rubbed her eyes, realized that the person lying next to her was not there, got up and stretched, put on her clothes and walked out the door.

A burst of fragrance came from the kitchen.

When she got closer, Wen Qizhou and Xie Changxiao, who got up early, had already prepared three dishes and one soup and were about to serve them to the dinner table.

"Awake?" Sensing her approaching, Wen Qizhou looked at her softly: "Have you washed up?" Eat right away. ”

"Not yet."

"Then you go wash first, we'll wait for you."

She went back to her bedroom to wash up, and ran to the dining table with her slippers on her slippers, and then went out with them when she had her fill.

Walking out of the small blue brick building, the sun spreads down like a thin veil, enveloping the people who come and go, gilding them with a layer of pale golden light, adding a touch of warmth.

They wandered around the neighborhood, following the roadside signs to the central plaza with its many stalls.

Ning Tong has never set up a special trading market.

If residents need it, they will trade in the square with patrols, which is large enough to accommodate more people.

Chi Yue looked around the square, and finally saw a face in his memory at the end, and hurriedly approached the other party.

She stopped in front of the stall with many daily necessities, and her eyes fell on the stall owner who looked sick.

The other party was about the same age as them, wearing a black trench coat, with an inch of hair, covering his lips and coughing twice from time to time.

"Yan Shuo?" She wasn't sure what to say.

Suddenly hearing his name, Yan Shuo looked up at the person in front of him, and asked gently, "May I ask who you are?" ”

Sure it was him, Chi Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm Sister Yaxian's friend, Chi Yue." She crouched down on her knees and smiled, "She showed me a picture of you." ”

"That's it."

Yan Shuo had never heard her name.

Out of vigilance, he glanced at Chi Yue without a trace, but treated him politely: "Yaxian has something to do." ”

"How soon will she be back?"

"I can't say."

Chi Yue nodded.

She didn't care if the other party was telling the truth or falsehood, and picked up the square cloth on which he placed daily necessities: "I want all of these." ”

"All?"

"Yes." She took off the backpack that was filled with supplies in advance: "I don't have enough points, can I change lanes with you with the supplies?" ”

Yan Shuo, who raised his hand to catch the backpack, opened the zipper to take a look, and saw that there was not only meat inside, but also cough syrup and asthma inhalers he needed, and his expression changed suddenly.

"No, it's too expensive." Yan Shuo wanted to return the backpack to her, but his unangry body began to cough again as soon as he was excited.

Seeing that he coughed until his face was flushed, Wen Qizhou walked up to him, patted him on the back to help him calm down, picked up the thermos cup he put at his feet, unscrewed the lid and handed it to him.

"Thank you, thank you." The kindness they released was easily captured by Yan Shuo, and it was inevitable that he would feel ashamed for a while.

Yan Shuo relieved himself: "I'm sorry, I didn't tell the truth just now. He took two sips of water, and then handed the backpack back to Chi Yue: "She went to exchange points, and she will be back in a while." ”

"It's okay."

Chi Yue didn't mind.

She held the two corners of the square cloth and tied them into knots, and handed them to Xie Changxiao beside her: "We still have something to do, we will get together another day." ”

In order to avoid being exposed to the relationship between "friends", she decided to wait for Yan Shuo to take the medicine and then find a chance to meet Wen Yaxian.

It also saves them from receiving.

"......" Yan Shuo couldn't catch up with them, so he had to carefully hold his backpack and sit back in his place and wait for Wen Yaxian to come over.

About twenty minutes later, Wen Yaxian, who was wearing a cap and a mask and covering most of her face, walked up to him.

She lowered her eyes, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes stared at the location of their stall: "Ah Shuo, you were robbed?" ”

Yan Shuo: "......"

He picked up his backpack and thermos cup, took her hand and walked home, talking about Chi Yue stuffing him with supplies as he went.

"Chi Yue?" Wen Yaxian racked her brains for a long time, and couldn't remember who this friend was: "What does she look like?" ”

"You don't remember?"

Yan Shuo cast a condemning look: "She gave so many things in your face, and as a result, you forgot about people?" ”

"......" Wen Yaxian touched the tip of her nose and held his arm coquettishly: "Maybe it was my former colleague?" Don't you all use kana at that time? If you don't say what it looks like, how do I know? ”

Wen Yaxian comes from a divorced family.

In her junior year, in order to treat her mother who was suffering from cancer, she had to find a part-time job as a wine accompaniment in Fengyue Place.

It is very profitable to accompany the wine, but the cancer suffered by her mother is also very expensive, she is physically and mentally exhausted and has worked for more than half a year, and she has not saved a cent of the money she has earned by drinking and vomiting, and it is all handed over to the hospital.

If Yan Shuo hadn't appeared in time and lent her a sum of money, she might have gone down the road of depravity in a desperate situation.

Now that she mentioned "colleague", Yan Shuo also knew what was going on, and carefully recalled the description of Chi Yue's face.

"Do you remember?"

“…… No. Wen Yaxian walked into the small blue brick building not far from the square, took out the key in her pocket, and opened the one-bedroom apartment they rented: "What you described is too abstract. ”

Yan Shuo was speechless.

He sat down on a chair and took out bacon, sausages, dried fish and shrimp from his backpack in turn, as well as two bottles of cough syrup, three boxes of asthma inhalers, and antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

"There's cough syrup?" Wen Yaxian picked up a bottle of cough syrup, full of surprise: "It's worthy of being my sister!" ”

“…… Are you embarrassed? ”

"Excuse me." She poured a capful of syrup and fed it to his mouth: "Drink!" Don't let my sister down. ”

Yan Shuo has hereditary asthma.

There has been no medicinal use recently, he coughed very badly, Wen Yaxian couldn't sleep worriedly, and there was always sadness between his eyebrows and eyes, for fear that he would leave her one day.

Now I can finally rest assured.

She stared at Yan Shuo and drank the medicine, and then took out the inhaler for him to use: "How do you feel?" Is it a little better? ”

"Well, it's relieved." The inhaler worked very quickly, and his dull chest was indeed relieved to a certain extent.

"That'll do."

Wen Xianya put away the things given by Chi Yue, and hummed a song happily: "Ming'er, let's invite her to dinner." ”

"How please?" Yan Shuo exhaled a breath of turbidity and looked up at that beautiful face: "I don't know where she lives." ”

"Why don't you ask?"

"Forget."

Wen Yaxian pondered: "Then how many more trips have we made to the square recently?" Maybe you can meet it. ”

"Okay." Yan Shuo remembered the sentence "I've seen the photo" mentioned by Chi Yue, so he asked Wen Yaxian again, and saw that it still couldn't trigger her memory, and he vaguely felt a little strange.

He rubbed the thermos cup, thinking that he would be able to meet Chi Yue again in the future, so he suppressed his doubts for the time being and did not delve into it anymore.
