12 Chapter XII
Shao Qingyan gave Li Cang a bowl of oden normally.
Li Cang didn't say much to him, just took the things and paid for them, and walked to the corner of the convenience store to eat.
She is used to eating slowly, no matter what she is, she has to chew a lot of bites, and when she eats, there is no superfluous expression on her face, and there is no other movement.
Because of the habit he developed since childhood, Li Cang doesn't like to play with his mobile phone when he eats.
She only sat in her seat the whole time, slowly eating the food in front of her, and then got up when she was done, and then went to get something else.
Two skewers of teriyaki chicken meatballs, a hand// gun big chicken thigh, and the braised beef rice bowl in the fresh-keeping cabinet that is about to start on sale, is still cold and cold fresh milk in your hand......
She sat quietly alone in the convenience store and ate for more than an hour.
Cloud City is a suitable place for drunken gold fans, but obviously, Hengshan Road at night is not.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the number of pedestrians on the street has begun to slowly decrease, and there have been no new customers coming in to the convenience store for a long time.
Shao Qingyan just glanced at the time, and Li Cang walked in front of him again.
"Fill me with another bowl of oden."
She still looked coy, with no special emotions.
Shao Qingyan didn't move again this time.
Li Cang looked at him with a frown.
Shao Qingyan said: "The cash register machine is broken. ”
“……”
Li Cang couldn't believe that his luck would be so bad.
When she is uncomfortable, she likes to overeat and doesn't care about anything else.
She stood on tiptoe and leaned over the bar between them, glancing at the machine.
When she saw the screen full of flashing pictures, she believed Shao Qingyan's words.
"Is cash okay?" She asked unrelentingly.
"I can't collect cash, it's because the checkout system is broken." Shao Qingyan told her.
“……”
"Okay."
Li Cang pursed his lips and told himself that he had eaten enough tonight anyway.
She stood in front of the cash register and looked at Shao Qingyan boredly.
"What time do you get off work?"
"Eleven o'clock in the evening."
"Oh."
Li Cang clenched the mobile phone in his hand and was silent for a while.
"Then you'll be ...... when you get off work tonight?"
"Can I ride again...... Take me once......"
Li Cang felt that he was really a little shameless.
They were like this last time, and she could still ask such a question in front of him.
But she was very unhappy tonight, and she inexplicably wanted Shao Qingyan to ride herself again and blow the cold wind.
Her posture was a little low, and her tone was also a low voice that she had never heard before.
She stood quietly in front of the cash register, waiting for Shao Qingyan's answer.
"I'm off work tonight and won't pick up customers."
As if expected, Li Cang took a deep breath and turned around to leave the convenience store.
"But I can give you a ride for free."
It wasn't until Shao Qingyan's second sentence sounded that she froze in place again.
She turned back.
Shao Qingyan just lowered his gaze and began to repair the broken cash register machine.
"Your family and Tao Jingran's family live nearby, right? I can drop you off at the Western Suburbs Manor. ”
She heard him say again.
A slightly different look finally appeared on Li Cang's face.
"But I don't want to go home tonight."
Shao Qingyan raised his head.
After a while, he said, "I only stop by your house." ”
“…………”
Li Cang was really not in the mood to laugh tonight, but Shao Qingyan's words made her turn around, and she couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth.
She sat down in the convenience store again.
By the way, I finally started to check the messages on my phone that I didn't bother to read after I turned off the mute.
In the few hours when she didn't hear the prompt sound of her mobile phone, Lin Jiajia and the others sent her a lot of messages and made a lot of phone calls one after another.
It should be that after her parents knew that she ran away from home, they found a few of them who had the best relationship with her and asked her whereabouts.
She looked over one by one, and slowly posted two words in the group: "Not dead." ”
Tao Jingran: [Damn! You've finally got your answer! If we don't talk anymore, we all want to call the police! 】
Li Cang: [......]
Li Cang: [Am I such a person to worry about? 】
Lin Jiajia: [Yes! 】
He Minglang: [Yes! 】
Cen Ling: [Yes! 】
Li Cang: "......"
Li Cang: [Don't worry, it's nothing, I'm just going out for a walk, and I'll go back later.] 】
Tao Jingran: [Do you need me to pick you up? 】
Li Cang: [No, someone will accompany me back.] 】
When the news was sent, Li Cang didn't realize how wrong this matter was.
Until I see—
Tao Jingran: [?] 】
Lin Jiajia: [? 】
Cen Ling: [?] 】
He Minglang: [?] 】
Lin Jiajia: [Who is it!] You didn't call me when you went out for a walk?!!! 】
Li Cang finally realized that at this time, at this point in time, if she continued to say that it was Shao Qingyan who sent her home, it didn't seem appropriate.
What is their relationship?
They don't matter.
She raised her head, glanced at Shao Qingyan, who was still busy at the cash register, lowered her head and hid his name, and said: [It's an ordinary friend, I happened to meet on the way out, and I will go home together later. 】
[Oh.] 】
Everyone in the group finally stopped for the time being.
It was only immediately that they began to start a discussion about the apology letter to her on Weibo tonight.
As the only person present who knew Tang Qin, Tao Jingran was taken out for the first time.
"No, why do you ask me, I really don't know her, brothers and sisters, I don't know why she posted that kind of comment." Tao Jingran was so anxious that he didn't even type, and hurriedly sent a voice clarification.
Lin Jiajia asked, "What does she look like?" Are there any photos to see? ”
Tao Jingran waited for a while, and then sent out a group photo of collective team building.
"Well, it's the first row on the left, the one in yellow." He said.
Li Cang clicked on the big picture and found the girl according to his instructions.
Surprisingly, at first glance, she felt that this girl was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
When she vaguely remembered, Lin Jiajia sent a voice message directly: "Isn't this the girl we saw at your school gate that day?" ”
Yes, Li Cang also remembered.
She'd seen this girl.
In the milk tea shop at the entrance of Tao Jingran's school.
It was she who greeted Tao Jingran at that time.
Tao Jingran also sent a voice again: "Yes, it was in the bubble tea shop that day, you should have seen it." ”
Li Cang slowly recalled the situation at that time.
At the entrance of the experimental middle school, the milk tea shop, Tang Qin......
At that time, the girl looked at her as if it was indeed strange.
Just as she was thinking about the photos on her phone, a huge shadow suddenly fell on the table in front of her.
She looked up in a daze and saw Shao Qingyan walking to her side with a mop.
Li Cang was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up to give up his position.
By the way, I looked at the time, and before I knew it, it was already half past ten in the evening.
"You still have half an hour to get off work?" Just in case, she asked again.
"Hmm." Shao Qingyan carefully dragged the place where she had let go, and soon went to another place.
Li Cang stared at his back.
"Do you leave work at this point every day?"
"No, look at the shift."
"Oh, so when you have time to work on the schedule, you will go to be a tutor?"
Li Cang simply calculated, Shao Qingyan currently knows that there are at least two tutors doing it. According to the current tutor market in Yuncheng, he has been sent to Tsinghua University, and the price will definitely not be cheap, as long as he casually takes a few more, it is estimated that a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan is not a problem.
But even so, he still has to come to the convenience store to work and earn the hard-earned money of three melons and two dates, and his family ...... How short of money is it?
"You work at a convenience store, how much do you earn in a month?"
Although it was presumptuous, she asked anyway.
Shao Qingyan finally straightened his waist and looked back at her, but did not speak.
Li Cang coughed lightly: "No, I have a little cousin at home, and his grades have not been very good, and it is useless to change several tutors, as far as I know, their hourly salary seems to be okay, similar to Tao Jingran's family, if you are willing to ......"
"Thanks, I don't have time."
"Oh......"
Li Cang has never been very enthusiastic about doing anything for others in his life, let alone being deflated in front of outsiders, and all of a sudden, in front of Shao Qingyan.
She stopped talking and continued to pass the time with her phone in her hand.
It wasn't until the clock hanging on the wall finally reached eleven o'clock, that she saw that the person who replaced Shao Qingyan had arrived in the store, so she moved her stiff neck and got up to go home with him.
Shao Qingyan's back seat today is still cold.
Li Cang wrapped his coat tightly and sat down, and couldn't help but gasp with his teeth bared.
Shao Qingyan sat on the cushion in front of him, as if he was still sorting out something.
She didn't rush, just waited quietly.
Unexpectedly, half a minute later, Shao Qingyan took out a scarf from his schoolbag and handed it to her.
Li Cang blinked twice, and silently pulled what he had already wrapped around his face.
"Cushion it."
He didn't say much, just motioned to her that the scarf was for her to put under her ass.
Li Cang suddenly realized, and while thinking in his heart whether this was not very good, he consciously took the thing over and put it down.
Sure enough, it's not very freezing.
She grabbed the position under the bicycle mat and firmly fixed herself on the back seat of Shao Qingyan.
Because she already had her first experience, this time, she was very comfortable with her.
The cool breeze in the middle of the night in Yuncheng whistled in her ears, and the smell of spring snow hit her.
When she looked up at the cyclist in front of her, Li Cang thought that half a year ago, she probably couldn't have imagined that the best way she could find to relieve stress was to ask someone to ride a car for a ride.
She stared at the back of Shao Qingyan's head, and inexplicably remembered her scene on Hengshan Road this afternoon.
Yes, she saw Shao Qingyan.
She saw it when she finished pouring water on Emily's face and turned her head to pull Lin Jiajia away.
Like many passers-by at the time, he stood on both sides of the street, quietly watching their farce, without saying a word.
She drove past him in the car, just in time to see the side of his face again.
More bare and cold eyebrows than her.
I don't know what it means to be in the crowd too.
But even if he saw her bullying people on the street, he was still willing to ride her for a ride, this person really can't be described as having a bad temper.
Li Cang rarely reflects on himself, and this is the first time in the world.
She felt that the last time, she was probably too insulting.
By the time the bicycle arrived at the gate of the Western Suburbs Manor, it was already half an hour later.
Li Cang stood at the door of the community and handed the scarf back to Shao Qingyan.
"Thank you."
"Hmm."
He put the scarf away and put it back in his bag.
Li Cang looked at his palm, which was about twice the size of himself, silently pulled back the backpack that was pulled behind him, and took out the mobile phone inside.
"Xueba."
She learned what Tao Jingran usually called him, and handed WeChat to his eyes again.
"Let's make a friend." She said, "In case I'll be your old customer in the future." ”
