Chapter 21: The Showdown
"Don't bother. Her voice stopped the two men who were halfway there.
looked at everyone and explained casually: "The team leader is looking for me, I have to go back to the stage." β
Huaiyin: "You haven't eaten a bite of so many delicious things." β
Others: "Yes, if you're not in a hurry, eat something and go again." β
"I don't have a mouthful, it's just right for you to eat one more person's portion. When the words fell, she lifted her feet and left.
Ah Wei hurriedly got up, "I'll send her, you eat first"
As soon as the cadres began to continue, Li Lixing's brows were slightly frowned, and he was a little sorry for this scene: "Is Shi Tan unhappy?"
When everyone heard this, the atmosphere suddenly changed slightly, and the joy decreased.
She continued: "I'll go down and see, you go on, remember to leave us some, I'll settle accounts with you after eating." β
Ah Wei chased downstairs and grabbed her wrist: "Shi Yi, suddenly what's wrong?"
She turned around and didn't take her hand back from his hand: "I think it's best for us to get along as colleagues in the future." β
Hearing this, his brows furrowed and he became nervous: "Why" He was obviously about to become her boyfriend.
"Me and you are not the character who can be together. β
"What does it have to do with personality, we can solve anything if we like each other. β
"Do you like me?"
"Of course I like you. β
"What about Li Lixing, do you like her too?" she didn't show an aggressive posture, except for a slightly colder tone than usual, Ah Wei couldn't see anything else unusual at all.
"What does our business have to do with her?"
"yes, but don't you have much to do with her?"
He was a little anxious, afraid that her misunderstanding of himself would become deeper and deeper: "Shi Yi, I don't have any improper relationship with her except for colleagues. β
"Yes, I believe in your character. She said, "But you never seem to take my words to heart." β
"I don't, I care about your affairs!"
"I said I don't like her, I hate her, I understand that it's normal for you to have any dealings at work, but in private, should you avoid suspicion?"
"I didn't really do anything out of the ordinary with her. β
"I don't think you're going to be open enough to apply sunscreen to a person of the opposite sex who doesn't feel anything, and I think a man who doesn't have that kind of mind for the other person can be as he goes? It's too much time to run out, right?"
It turned out that she saw it!
His face was immediately covered with guilt: "I'm sorry, that act was wrong for me...."
"You go up. Shi Tan was not in the mood to listen to him apologize and admit his mistake, pulled out his wrist, and turned around to leave.
Ah Wei was in a hurry and stopped in front of her: "I didn't think you would be so angry, I admit my mistake, I didn't do it right, I won't do it again in the future, okay? Don't be angry!"
"I'm not angry. There was disappointment in her eyes: "You may feel in your heart that she is friendly to me, and I treat her like that, I am inexplicably small-bellied, so whenever she contacts you, you never tell me." It's not the first time you've been to this home, are you?"
His face was blue and white for a while, and Ah Wei choked: "I ......"
"I don't have the right to criticize you, because we haven't established a relationship, so you shouldn't feel too guilty, when you meet in the stage in the future, what you were like in the past will be what you will be like in the future. β
With that, she walked around him and walked towards the gate without looking back.
He didn't give up, and explained all the way behind her: "I've been here, she moved before, and no one helped her move things....."
Shi Yi turned around and asked him, "Do you really think this is the truth?"
Her eyes passed over to him, to the woman who stood with her hands crossed over her chest in front of the sensing door not far away.
"I won't be in the future, Shi Tan, if you don't like her, I won't have a private relationship with her, okay, don't say such ruthless words, we ......."
She looked at him and didn't answer, but those willowy eyes had no emotion at allβthat was the answer she gave him.
Ah Wei's heart sank to the bottom little by little, and seeing her resolutely turn away, he opened his mouth and called her: "Shi Tan"
But she still walked away without looking back!
His whole body suddenly seemed to be unloaded, and his whole body revealed a sense of powerlessness, and his eyes were firmly locked on the back in front of him, watching her get farther and farther away, farther and farther away.
Shi Tan, who left the community, walked all the way along the sidewalk, passing by a noodle shop, where the smell of braised pork wafted out, and touched his flat stomach, only to remember that he hadn't eaten lunch yet.
As soon as I entered the store, the boss who was busy inside shouted enthusiastically: "Girl, look at it casually, the menu is all on the wall"
Outside the store is the sidewalk, the sidewalk is on the side of the road, a black red flag HS7 parked on the side of the road, the owner seems to have gone to the small shop next door to buy a bottle of water, when he came back, his eyes were inadvertently cast into the powder shop, and the action of the car door suddenly stopped.
Shi Tan ordered a bowl of beef brisket and tendon noodles and told the boss: "Add some spicy"
"Okay, do you want chopped green onions?"
"Yes. β
She took out her mobile phone to pay, and when she pressed it, she found that the screen was not lit, and then she remembered that the mobile phone was turned off.
I touched the front pocket, and there was nothing but a key, and I touched the back pocket - it was empty.
The boss looked at her, she also raised her head to look at the boss, and sighed in her heart: "I'm sorry boss, I don't want this powder first." β
As soon as he turned around, he almost bumped into someone, and then he heard a slightly lower voice from overhead: "Boss, hers, please have another bowl of beef noodles in sour soup, how much is it?"
Shi Yi looked up, and a clear face was reflected in front of her - she was a little surprised.
Boss: "A bowl of beef brisket and tendon noodles, a bowl of beef noodles in sour soup, a total of 46"
Xie Song scanned the code and paid, then turned to her and said, "Miss Shi, sit down and wait"
Picking a seat to sit down first, she followed, sat on the chair opposite him, and asked, "Another murder?"
He was amused, and said in a low voice, very manly: "Why does Miss Shi ask this question every time she sees me?"
"After all, seeing a medical examiner is not a good thing. β
He said with a faint smile: "I'm resting today and coming here to do errands." β
Hearing this, she was a little relieved: "Thank you for helping me pay, it's inconvenient to write about your Alipay, I'll go back and transfer it to you." β
"I don't use Alipay. β
"There are still people who don't use Alipay now?"
"Weird?"
"Don't shop online?"
He didn't answer: "WeChat, you can talk about WeChat." β
"That's fine. She reported her WeChat account to him, and he typed it in and sent an application.
Two bowls of noodles were not served, steaming hot, fragrant, and covered with a layer of light brown brisket tendons, and covered with evenly chopped green onions;
His was beef in sour soup with red and yellow tones, and a thin layer of fat cow curled up on the noodles, piled up on the tip of a small mountain.
Shi Yi sighed: "The owner of this shop is so real!" Then stir the flour well, and put a piece of beef brisket in his mouth.
The brisket is stewed badly, but the chewiness is still there, in addition to the rich gravy melting in the mouth, there is also a faint burst of star anise cinnamon aroma.
"It's delicious!" she said, taking another pair of rice noodles with chopsticks and blowing it.
It seemed that she was very hungry, Xie Song saw that she was only interested in eating, but she was not in a hurry to eat, she was methodical, and when it was hot, she tied her hair to the side with a rubber band at will, and continued to eat with her head down.
Seeing that he didn't seem to mean to move the chopsticks, she glanced at him, scooped up a tablespoon of noodle soup with her eyes, and asked while eating, "See if I can be full?"
Hearing the sound, he picked up the chopsticks and began to taste, the powder is sweet and sour, with a little spicy, which is very appetizing.
There are not many people in the shop, and the sidewalks are full of grass and trees, and the evening breeze blows in, carrying the aroma of green grass and food.
Shi Tan's neck was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and a few strands of hair stuck to it, which she wiped away with a tissue.
Inadvertently caught a small scar of about half an inch at the back of her earlobe, Xie Song couldn't help asking, "What's going on here?"
