Dressed as the vicious ex-wife of a villain

When the boy heard someone calling his name, he paused and turned around slightly. Shiyang grabbed the bag on the seat and ran up instantly, swiping his card and getting off the bus just a second before the driver closed the door.

Shiyang didn't expect to meet Gu Ci again on the last bus. He got off the bus as fast as three steps and then two steps.

She seemed to be afraid that the boy would disappear in one night like last time.

Gu Ci saw a look of surprise in his eyes when he saw the girl running in front of him.

Shiyang didn't feel relieved until she stood in front of Gu Ci and made sure he wouldn't run away. She breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the boy's unforgettable face, and sighed sincerely: "I didn't expect to meet you tonight. .”

"Do you still remember me?" Shiyang asked inexplicably nervously, "I left without saying hello last time."

"Did my brother bully you behind my back? What did he tell you?"

Gu Ci looked at Shiyang's small face, shook his head, and answered her: "No."

"I didn't want to disturb you too much, so I left without saying goodbye."

"That's it." Shiyang finally felt relieved after knowing that the boy had not forgotten him. Then he looked around the platform, "Why did you come home so late? Do you live near here now?"

Gu Ci's eyes kept falling on the girl's face: "Yeah."

"Why are you still out so late?" he asked.

Hearing this sentence that sounded like greetings and concern, Shiyang found that his mood seemed to suddenly improve.

"Work overtime." Shiyang pursed her lips and replied, "There is a job that is stuck and I can't finish it."

"But it's no problem now." She put on a smile instantly, then rolled her eyes to look at the empty street, and finally blinked at the young man and said, "I just asked you to stop me and run down."

"It's too late."

"The bus just now was the last bus tonight."

"It's not far from my home..."

Gu Ci seemed to predict what she was going to say: "I'll take you home."

Shiyang's eyes lit up.

……

The two walked side by side on the city road at night.

The shadows were shortened and lengthened by streetlights one after another.

Shi Yang bit his lower lip as he watched the rising and falling shadows of the two of them, and took the initiative to speak first: "You left without saying a word last time. I almost thought meeting you was a dream."

The young man seemed to smile softly after hearing this: "Really?"

"That's right." Shiyang said, then hesitated, "Didn't you say before that you had no place to go? Where...are you living now?"

Gu Ci: "I rented a house myself."

Shiyang nodded: "Oh."

Although it was late now, there were still mobile food stalls on the road that would be chased by urban management. There were a few customers in front of the food stall, and the owner and his wife were busy under the yellow light bulbs.

Shiyang swallowed secretly after smelling the aroma of grilled cold noodles in the air, and found that her stomach seemed empty.

Before she could speak, Gu Ci had already stopped and asked, "Want to eat?"

……

Shiyang found that every move he planned and every thought in his heart seemed to be accurately guessed by Gu Ci.

Gu Ci can even tell the boss exactly what flavor she likes and whether to add green onions and coriander.

The boss cut the grilled cold noodles into sections and put them into paper bowls. Gu Ci paid directly, handed the paper bowl to Shiyang, and gave her a pair of disposable chopsticks.

Shiyang: "I'll transfer the money to you later."

So it became a matter of eating and walking at the same time.

Because they had to eat, the two of them talked a lot less.

Shiyang's cheeks bulged as she ate, and she felt the phone in her bag vibrate slightly. It must be Shi Yan asking her why she hadn't gotten home yet.

Just around the corner from the intersection is her community.

Shiyang had almost finished eating, licked the sauce on her lips, threw the paper bowl into the trash can on the roadside, then clapped her hands, took out her mobile phone and pressed the delayed call to reply that she was almost there, and then As a matter of course, he showed his WeChat QR code in front of the boy.

"I'll transfer the money to you."

Gu Ci looked at the girl and continued to smile: "No need."

Shiyang: "..."

How should she tell him that her main purpose is not to make money, but to add his contact information.

"No," Shiyang had no choice but to insist, "I have to transfer you."

Gu Ci: "Not much money."

Shiyang subconsciously said, "Why don't you have much money? You only earn 150 yuan a day, and the grilled cold noodles just now cost 18 yuan."

Then she started to regret it after she finished speaking.

"I..." Shiyang hated herself for being too impulsive and lack of consideration before speaking. It was already miserable for someone who had no education and no family and could only rely on working to survive. It would be so sad to hear what she said if you were more sensitive in your heart.

"Don't think too much, I didn't mean that, I meant..." Shi Yang was speechless.

Fortunately, the young man didn't seem to mind what she said. When he saw the QR code that Shi Yang had spread out and the annoyed look on her face, he seemed to realize something and finally scanned the code.

Gu Ci: "Okay."

Shiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Ci walked her all the way to the gate of the community.

"Goodbye." When Shiyang walked in, he turned around and waved to the boy, "I'll contact you next time."

She saw the boy standing outside the door and nodded to her.

After saying goodbye to Gu Ci, Shiyang trotted home happily.

When she came home, Shi Yan was lying on the sofa playing games. Shi Yan looked up from the game when he heard some noise, and saw Shi Yang who was not only late but also exuding joy. He frowned in confusion: "Did you pick up the money?"

Shi Yang walked by and shrugged at Shi Yan: "I want you to take care of it."

Then she ran back to her room, closed the door, threw away her bag, and threw herself on her bed.

Shiyang's face was buried in the quilt, and he arched involuntarily on the bed a few times before raising his head and taking out his mobile phone.

She saw the WeChat dialog box she and Gu Cixin had added.

Tonight's chance encounter was an unexpected surprise.

With contact information, you won’t be looking for a needle in a haystack in the future.

Shiyang laughed at Gu Ci's simple WeChat profile picture, and then didn't forget to send him a red envelope, which was money for tonight's supper.

Then she lay on the bed again, crossed her legs, and took out her tablet from her bag.

On the drawing software, she drew the silhouette of the boy on the bus tonight.

Although it is just a few outlines of lines, the coldness, aloofness, mystery, and even a touch of sadness conveyed by the young man's whole person have been fully revealed.

Shiyang found that the young man's eyebrows seemed to have a touch of sadness when he looked closely. He didn't know why, but this subtle sadness seemed to be particularly able to stimulate people's desire for protection.

When Shiyang looked at her line drawing, she suddenly felt inspired by the image of the game character "Yue Ming" that had troubled her for many days.

She made a few more random strokes on the line draft, then held her chin up and recalled that every time she saw the boy, her heart seemed to be beating faster and palpitating.

A slight smile appeared on Shiyang's lips.

The word "son-in-law" began to appear in my mind involuntarily.
