Chapter 40

This time, it's indeed a confession, right?

You Xuezhen was a little confused.

After all, she hadn't received a few decent likes until now. When I was in high school, someone left a message like her in the Q/Q space, and she clicked on that number - forbidding her to access, and she didn't know who it was in the end, whether it was a prank or something.

After going to college, there are also occasional people who express their love to her, through the department group, she chatted for a few words and said that you are very beautiful, I like you very much, do you want to come out and watch a movie at night? She didn't care, and she didn't care.

She doesn't know if it's because people are confessing like this now, or if she's just unlucky, it seems that it's hard to be loved by someone who likes it, and it's inexplicably sloppy.

However, this time it seems to be different.

Even at this moment, the current atmosphere looks sloppy - at the foot of the funeral home, she still smells of disinfectant water that has just been cleaned in the mourning hall, and her eyes stay up all night until her face is oily. But she looked at the red pinna under his black hair, and her heart was beating to death.

Could it be that the quick-acting heart-saving pill she bought for her part-time job was used at this moment?

As if in response to her inner activities, Meng Shilong muttered with some annoyance: "I'm sorry, it seems to have become a casual confession again." ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

"That time in Taiping Mountain, I lied." He took a deep breath, "Because I don't want it to be a casual confession to you, but for me, it's a sentence I can't resist." As soon as I thought of you, I blurted out. ”

“……”

"Then I kept thinking, no, at least pick a good time, prepare something with your heart, and then confess to you......" He lowered his eyes, and his gaze was closely matched with her, "but as soon as you ran away, I began to panic, and I couldn't think of anything." ”

You Xuezhen's breathing increased, and after hearing what he said, she raised her hand and pulled the scarf to cover her face.

She didn't know what to say.

The wool of the scarf was not tightly blocked, and the gaps between the lines vaguely outlined the silhouette of the person still standing in front of her. She seemed to see his originally nervous face and couldn't help but smile after seeing her like this, and then walked away, stepped into the car with her legs, and intimately left her a back.

After a while, he said, "Hold on to me, it's time to drive." ”

You Xuezhen let out a dumbfounded sigh, waving her hands in the air for a long time as if she were acrobatic, and finally Meng Shilong directly pressed him to his waist.

He turned around and said, "Safety first." ”

You Xuezhen hummed helplessly.

The defendant hugged each other intimately immediately after the confession, this experience is really strange, although it is not that he has never hugged him, but now the feeling is completely different. She deliberately pulled her face away from his back, but was still pushed back by the wind. The cotton clothes are not cold at all when they are attached to the face on a cold winter morning. She could feel his body temperature, his back, slightly arched, supporting her soft body.

The motorcycle sped all the way to a morning market near his shop, where he turned off the engine and got out of the car.

"You sit here and wait for me." He thought for a moment, "Or do you want to go in and have a look with you?" ”

You Xuezhen hasn't been to the morning market much, she occasionally cooks in the supermarket or calls for delivery, and she feels fresh about this kind of occasion, so she can't hold back her curiosity and nod and say, "I'll go too, I can still remind you if you missed something." ”

So the two walked into the morning market together, and she followed him to probe his brain. Meng Shilong and the people in the stall are obviously quite familiar, but they are familiar with each other, and it is not ambiguous to say that the price is not ambiguous.

Walking to a stall where the meat was cutting, he didn't bargain anymore, and said directly: "Uncle Zhang, it's the same." ”

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with quick hands and feet, who was cutting ribs, and when he heard Meng Shilong's voice, he didn't raise his head and said, "Cut it for you, just the two bags on the left." ”

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhang."

He turned on his mobile phone to scan the code, waited for the payment sound to pass, and picked up two bags to greet: "Let's go." ”

Uncle Zhang looked up at this time, and saw You Xuezhen following behind Meng Shilong for a moment, and said directly: "Finally got a girlfriend?" I didn't say a word about how I brought it. ”

You Xuezhen's heart trembled, and before her hand was raised, Meng Shilong took the lead and said, "No." After a pause, he added, "Not yet." ”

Three words were added, but the meaning was completely different.

You Xuezhen understood the difference, her face burned suddenly, and she pointed to the door in a panic: "I'll wait for you outside." ”

"Wait a minute." Uncle Zhang stopped her and handed over the bagged ribs that had just been cut, "You take it, meet the gift." ”

You Xuezhen hurriedly pushed back: "No, no, thank you, uncle." ”

"Take it!"

Uncle Zhang pushed it back again, and his unsmiling expression looked quite serious, and You Xuezhen subconsciously took it.

He nodded with satisfaction: "You should give me a boost for this kid and think more about him." ”

Meng Shilong took out his mobile phone embarrassedly, and Uncle Zhang glared at him: "Why do you want to transfer money to me?" ”

"Uncle Zhang's subordinates are merciful, and he will put pressure on her."

His hands and feet were fast, and the next second there was a prompt that the payment was successful.

You Xuezhen was really red-faced, and she also took out her mobile phone and said to Meng Shilong: "How much, I'll turn you!" ”

He smiled, "Don't." ”

…… Didn't you just say don't put pressure on me?

You Xuezhen was helpless, and she didn't take him seriously in the end, so she silently picked up the ribs, thinking that it would be good to leave it to him when the time came.

After coming out of the morning market, the two of them carried things in the direction of the store, and it was not yet eight o'clock, and the whole alley was still very quiet. Meng Shilong opened the store's roller shutter door and went in, whispering to her that his father was still sleeping upstairs. You Xuezhen made an ok gesture and followed him lightly into the back kitchen.

Meng Shilong listed all the dishes, and You Xuezhen hesitated: "If you teach...... How to teach? ”

"You don't have to worry about me, just do it yourself. I'll watch you do it. ”

“…… Oh. ”

You Xuezhen took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves and lit the fire, poured water and cut vegetables, the fool steps in front of her will not be explained, but when she put the seasoning, she still asked Meng Shilong how much to put it on, she turned her head and signaled Meng Shilong to pay attention, but caught him not looking at the pot or looking at her hand at all.

He just stared straight at the side of her face, and as soon as she turned her head, her eyes crashed straight in.

She hurriedly turned her head away, tightened the light soy sauce, and said hurriedly: "Do you remember?" ”

He snorted.

You Xuezhen thought that maybe it was just right, so she turned around the second time she put sesame oil and looked at him again.

The evidence is conclusive, she raised her voice and pretended to be murderous: "Are you watching me do ......"

He nodded, "Yes." ”

How do you feel that what they say doesn't mean the same thing.

You Xuezhen choked: "Forget it." ”

His undisguised eyes were so straightforward that You Xuezhen couldn't hide it, and after putting the raw soy sauce sesame oil, he even thought about what to put next for a few seconds, and he was uneasy.

His confession automatically replayed in her mind, and even if she didn't answer anything at the time, she couldn't pretend as if nothing had happened.

"If you boil like this, you'll almost run dry."

When she was stunned again, he leaned in from behind him and reached out to turn down the fire.

"Why are you so inattentive?" He quickly stepped back, pretending to smile lightly and asked, "Are you trying to refuse me?" ”

You Xuezhen bit her lip and wanted to say no, she didn't know what she wanted to say, was it a refusal? It doesn't seem to be, is it a promise, it doesn't seem to be.

She was full of ambivalent, unclassifiable emotions towards Meng Shilong.

But he took her silence as a tacit acquiescence, and the smile he had just shown slowly couldn't be maintained, and the corners of his mouth pursed.

He whispered, "Because you like him, don't you?" ”

The small fire on the stove gurgled and boiled, as if her heart was burning, after hearing his words.

You Xuezhen immediately denied: "What are you talking about, what do you like whom?" ”

"You Xuezhen." He called her name again clearly, and then chiseled the words into her heart word by word, "You can lie to anyone, but be honest with yourself." ”

Her lips quivered slightly.

There was a long silence, she didn't speak, he didn't ask, time passed, the water was boiled dry by a small fire, and the flowing eggs that had been laid in the pot before revealed the heart.

You Xuezhen admitted very quietly: "Yes." ”

She would never have thought that the feelings she had hidden for so many years that no one knew about would actually be seen through by him, and she actually told him the secret, and they had only known each other for less than a semester.

Maybe it was because she knew her so little that she dared to admit it in front of him.

She suddenly felt extremely relaxed, it turned out that it was so easy not to hide this feeling alone.

When Meng Shilong heard her say this, his expression was not as dull as just now, and since this was the case, he had nothing to worry about.

He asked straight again, "I don't understand why you didn't let him know that you liked it?" ”

"Why else can you ......," she blurted out as a matter of course, "I've been friends for so many years, and I don't want to embarrass him." ”

Of course, the deeper reason is that I don't want to embarrass myself.

"Why are you embarrassed, afraid that you won't be able to be friends?"

You Xuezhen smiled bitterly: "That's right." ”

"But." He bent down and stared into her low-hanging eyes, "Who would want to be friends with you only?" ”

After You Xuezhen heard it, her first reaction was funny.

Did he say the opposite, who would be reluctant?

How could this sentence be applied to her, a person who has no talent in loving and being loved, in his mouth, has actually become a seed player who will regret if he is not loved by her or loves her.

"I'm reluctant."

But his tone was so serious, she couldn't take it as a joke, she could only believe that she was really treated by him like that.

At this moment, You Xuezhen wanted to shed tears.

Unaware, this hateful man was still stirring her tear ducts.

"So we either want to be lovers, or we don't want to be strangers, you choose." "But I know you're not going to pick the former now." It doesn't matter, it's a long time coming. Then give me a chance that we will never be strangers before we become strangers. ”

"Let me chase you, You Xuezhen."

"Don't just be friends."

When we first met, you threw candy at me on that Halloween night, I probably already knew that I couldn't be your friend.
