【052】Coconut
The reason why we dare to do it here is because the second floor of the store is a flower art workshop and the boss's office. When classes are not scheduled, very few people go up to the second floor. However, just because few people come up doesn't mean that no one comes up. For example, the boss himself.
As we glared at each other, no matter how it ended, Zhang Jifan's song floated up the stairs, his brisk minor to an abrupt end around the bend.
Because he saw us, and saw the trellises and crushed flowers that I and Ritsu Terukawa knocked over...... It's messy as far as the eye can see.
"You, you ......" he pointed back and forth at me and Ritsu Zhaochuan, his face shocked and indescribable.
I pretended to get up easily, dusted myself off, and calmly passed their gaze into the bathroom on this floor. As soon as I locked it, the strength flowed from my limbs.
The man in the mirror, untidy, disheveled, and flushed......
So flustered, so embarrassed.
I rubbed my lips repeatedly with water. The fearlessness that was installed before was all scattered into mud in front of the mirror.
I hid in the bathroom and didn't go out, tossing and turning repeatedly, if it wasn't for Zhang Jifan knocking on the bathroom door to urge, I was afraid that I would have to stay inside until the sea turns into a mulberry field.
"Xiao Mu, come out, everyone is gone."
I managed to compose myself and pulled the door open. The corridor outside the door is as neat as stepping back in time.
Zhang Jifan told me that the angry Lu Zhaochuan left, and the speechless Xu Chen led the awakened Xiao Yu to leave. "It's okay in the store, you can go home too." Zhang Jifan said to me. I could see that he had once again forcibly suppressed his curiosity.
In view of the wound on my face, I went back to the lawyer's house in a covert way, but I was still caught by the senior secretary standing at the door.
"Secretary Gao!" I immediately said hello.
"What's wrong with your face?"
Ritsu didn't really punch me, but there were inevitably bumps between the pushes. I didn't know where my face had been, and there was a bruise above my cheekbones and under the corner of my eye, which grew darker and darker as time went on, like a huge blue tear.
I haven't come up with an excuse yet. Secretary Gao had already raised his hand to signal me to follow, but I couldn't shirk it, so I could only follow obediently. Secretary Gao held the freshly made simple ice pack and applied it to the bruises, I took the ice pack from her hand, gritted my teeth to resist the urge to hide, and tried to put my face on it.
Secretary Gao turned around and took out the medicine box from the cabinet. "When the young master came back today, he also had a wound on his face." Secretary Gao seemed to be careless.
As the culprit, I hung my head out of fear of sin. After all, I gave him two punches in a solid way.
“…… Secretary Gao, you have quite a complete set of trauma medicine here. ”
I aimed at Secretary Gao's medicine box, divided and organized it according to potions, ointments, pills, gauze, etc., and the whole medicine box was in good order.
"These are all for the young master."
I said casually: "How often does the law get hurt?" ”
Secretary Gao glanced at me and began to reminisce about the past: "One night about three years ago, he came back with a wound on his face. Ask him what's going on? He replied that there was a fight. ”
"Ah, adolescent teenager, seems to like to use physical conversation."
"Adolescent teenagers?" Secretary Gao couldn't repeat this word with a smile, she picked out a bottle of red medicinal oil and checked its production date, "That day, it was almost ten years since he was injured in the last fight. ”
Secretary Gao, what do you want to tell me?
Secretary Gao motioned for me to remove the ice pack, she dropped two drops of medicinal oil on my wound, and tried to rub the bruise with her fingers: "When the young master was in elementary school, he always brought back the injury for a while. At that time, Mr. Lil's career was in a period of growth, and he began to rarely go home. Mrs. Ritsu is abroad all year round. They were too busy to focus on what was happening and what he was doing at school. He didn't say anything, just silently enrolled in a self-defense course. It's just a child who has just turned ten years old, and he has never shouted bitterness when he insists on practicing boxing...... After that, he was no longer injured, and after that, there were more and more people around him, and those people were afraid of him, afraid of him, and respected him. The young master was no longer injured, but he had completely changed, he spoke less and less, and his face became colder and colder. ”
I was shocked. According to Secretary Gao, the injuries on Lu Zhaochuan's body are probably from school bullying......
I suddenly felt distressed.
For the next decade or so, no one dared to mess with him. He grew up, but he came back with injuries. Wouldn't you find it strange if it were you? ”
I couldn't help but nod.
"Three years ago......" I counted with my fingers folded, "I was still in college at that time, right?" ”
"Yes. It is said that the young master has a sworn enemy at school, and the two will pinch when they meet. During that time, the young master came back with injuries in three days. ”
"It seems that the other party is not a good stubble." I commented.
Secretary Gao smiled deeply and continued: "It's not a problem to see that he is always injured, so I secretly investigated behind the young master's back. It turned out that it was a girl who fought with him. He was afraid that he would really hurt others and let him go everywhere, so he was the one who was injured when he returned. ”
After Secretary Gao finished talking about Lu Zhaochuan's past, my medicine was also finished.
"Miss Selangor, you don't want to show weakness, but sometimes it's not necessarily a loser to bow your head first. You're right. After finishing speaking, Secretary Gao silently packed up the medicine box, and then stopped speaking.
I thanked in an eerie silence and got up to take my leave.
Morning. As soon as I woke up, I heard various sounds in the yard. I got up, rubbed my sleepy eyes and walked to the window to look, and it turned out that Qingqing was picking, cleaning and cleaning around a pile of debris.
"Qingqing, what are you doing??"
Qingqing turned around when she heard the sound, she said "shhhhhhhhhhh Well, those piles were thrown by the young master. ”
Qingqing and I squatted in front of the garbage heap.
The garbage looks weird. Fragments of porcelain are, of course, garbage. But these, clearly intact, do not belong to the category of garbage. For example, a beautiful blue and white striped large sea bowl. A picture album from our store with a transparent film seal on the outside. A vinyl record, it's Jim Morrison's album. There were even a few packets of vegetable seeds.
I pointed to the items in good condition: "Are you sure you want to throw them away?" ”
"The young master said—'Throw!' Qingqing imitated Ritsu Zhaochuan's tone and said affirmatively.
I picked up the album and stuffed it into Qingqing's hand: "Qingqing, the paintings in this album are all your teacher's works, I will sign your name, and you can take it back and treasure it." ”
"Uh-huh." Qingqing nodded obediently.
"I kept the vegetable seeds, and I planted them all in my vegetable patch another day. I also kept this big bowl and put it in my small vegetable patch to scoop fertilizer. As for this vinyl record, we will definitely sell it at a good price if we put it up for sale online! ”
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. ”
After careful calculation, Qingqing and I sorted out the pile of "garbage" in Rizhaochuan in an instant.
As soon as I saw the time, it was time to go to work.
Qingqing sighed deeply and said to herself: "Our young master is so strange, he threw a bunch of intact ones, but he left a coconut shell, the baby is not good, no one is allowed to move." ”
"Coconut shells?" I paused, "Is it the kind of coconut shell that still has coconut meat in it, won't that thing rot after a long time?" ”
"I don't know, it looks dry. It was placed on the young master's windowsill, which was very eye-catching, but the young master did not allow us to throw it. ”
I subconsciously glanced at the direction of Ritsu Zhaochuan's windowsill, and I couldn't see what was on his windowsill when I squatted here.
The coconut that Qingqing said can't be the one I bought, right?
That day, Lu Zhaochuan was kind enough to be below me, but I was called away by Zhang Jifan on the phone. I didn't feel it at the time, but later I realized that I was not only throwing away the bowl of noodles, but also his full kindness. On my way back from the hospital, I came across a fruit shop selling coconuts one by one. I picked one and asked the boss to cut off the top crust, leaving the last thin layer of white film, and then poked it through with a straw.
I carefully carried the coconut all the way home, preparing to give it to Ritsu Zhaochuan. At that time, I knocked on the window of Ritsu Zhaochuan, but he ignored me. So I laid the apology on his windowsill. As for its fate after that, I don't know.
Ritsu Shogawa has a coconut shell.
It's just a small talk. Unexpectedly, this gossip from small talk had been completely fermented in my mind after a busy day, until I finished bathing and lay down on the bed ready to sleep, and the coconut was still shaking in front of my eyes. After a few toss and turns, I rolled over and sat up straight. It seems that this mystery is unsolved, and I can't sleep. I wrapped up my clothes and pushed the door open, ready to take a look at the coconut shell!
The lights in Ritsu Zhaochuan's room are still on. I slipped under his window, quietly reached out, grabbed the coconut shell, slowly plucked it from the windowsill, and held it up to my eyes, I checked the incision of the coconut shell - it was really the coconut I bought earlier!
I've been sitting on this thing for so many days, I'm afraid it's going to smell, right? Thinking like this, I curiously and carefully leaned my nose over.
"Who!" In the darkness of the night, a question rang behind me.
I was startled, my hands suddenly loosened, the coconut shell fell to the ground and rolled away, I hurriedly chased, this chase, chased to the feet of Lu Zhaochuan.
I held the coconut shell and slowly looked up, my eyes meeting him.
"I didn't think you were stealing my coconut."
If it is exposed, there is no need to hide.
I'm going to stand up with an empty coconut and a frank face: "Wrong, it's not a coconut it's a coconut shell." Look, empty. I'll take it and throw it away. ”
"Not necessarily."
"It's useless to keep it anyway!"
"Keep it to ward off evil spirits."
"It's going to smell." I'm going to lose it.
Ritsu Zhaochuan said in a cool voice: "Put it down!" ”
I saw that he was moving. I slowly put the coconut shell back on the ground, and watched as he calmly picked it up and put it back in its place.
Ritsu Zhaochuan is really a weirdo......
I sighed and shook my head back to my room.
- Miss Selangor, you don't want to show weakness, it's just that, sometimes, it's not necessarily a loser to bow your head first, right?
Secretary Gao's voice suddenly passed through the eardrums. I froze and looked back at Ritsu Zhaochuan. The overtones of the story told by Secretary Gao actually came back at this moment.
How smart Secretary Gao is! Based on the injuries on my and my faces, the way we dodged, and his attitude on the left and right, I deduced that we were fighting. Where is she telling the story of Ritsu Zhaochuan, she is informing me, she knows everything!
I couldn't help but sweat all over my body, and at the same time, a strange idea popped into my head. Even though I had a negative attitude towards this, after a few thoughts, I took my mobile phone and sent a text message to Ye Chun to inquire......
