An Accident in Broad Daylight

Cheng Xu's arrival seemed to make Zhou Hui really find a job to do. Seeing her posture, Xu Tangcheng seemed to be in a hurry, as if he wished to cook his special dishes for Cheng Xu in these three days, even At the dinner table, Xu Tangcheng had been reduced to the point where he could only look at each other with Xu Tangqi, watching Zhou Hui keep putting delicious dishes in front of Cheng Xu.Xu Tangqi was in poor health, so he was not completely ignored, and got Zhou Hui's treatment of "a few favorite dishes with chopsticks". Xu Tang's achievements were no longer good, so he had to pick Zhou Hui to share the rest of the dishes.

On the morning of the last day of the holiday, after washing his face, Cheng Xu stood in the bedroom and rubbed his stomach and asked Xu Tangcheng, "I've grown flesh in just over two days, isn't it normal?"

"Normal," Xu Tangcheng nodded, "You're still eating ribs after ten o'clock, can you not grow?"

Cheng Xu smiled, and said a little embarrassedly, "Auntie's cooking is really delicious."

"Then come here often." Xu Tangcheng folded the financial newspaper in his hand, and stood up with a smile, "She likes you very much, and so does my dad. They just like you who are good-looking and obedient."

Xu Tangcheng and Cheng Xu were classmates when they were undergraduates, and they were roommates for nearly half a year. They seldom saw him go out with friends, and their daily life basically consisted of studying and scientific research.Cheng Xugen's mentor is a big bull, who belongs to the kind of madness that normal people think.Xu Tangcheng had been to his office twice, and each time the scene was that the teacher was looking at the computer with an unkempt face, while Xu Tangcheng was struggling to communicate with him.He doesn't know anything about anything other than work. As long as you tell him something that is not related to scientific research, he has no desire to answer you. At most, he will glance at you and say, "I don't know about that."Xu Tangcheng was really impressed by the teacher's image and expression, so he was really afraid that Cheng Xu would inherit the teacher's style one day. Although the achievement is indeed very respectable, it is too worrying to look at.

There was no itinerary planned for today, so Xu Tangcheng asked Cheng Xu what he wanted to do on the last day.Cheng Xu thought about it for a while and said he didn't know.

This answer was completely within Xu Tangcheng's expectations, so he had no choice but to propose according to the record: "Then go out and take a stroll."

After his reminder, Cheng Xu remembered: "Oh yes, I want to buy a coat."

This made Xu Tangcheng laugh: "I haven't seen you go out to buy clothes in Beijing, and come here to go shopping?"

"Beijing is too troublesome. It takes half a day to go to a shopping mall by subway or bus. If you can't buy something in one place, it will be a long way to the next place."

That's right, for a person like Cheng Xu who suffers from extreme motion sickness, the torment brought about by the intricate traffic network in the capital can completely overcome his little desire to buy clothes.

So, Xu Tangcheng accompanied Cheng Xu to the relatively large shopping mall at home.Cheng Xu was hesitating in a pile of down jackets, and Xu Tangcheng was on the sidelines to advise him, but found that he had no idea at all, so he asked him every piece of clothing he put on, "Does it look good?"

Xu Tangcheng asked back, and Cheng Xu said the same sentence for thousands of years: "I don't know."

Xu Tangcheng pulled him to the mirror: "Just look at yourself like this, do you think this dress suits you? Compared with the gray one just now, which one looks better?"

Cheng Xu stared at the mirror for a while, then shook his head at Xu Tangcheng in the mirror.Xu Tang Chengbai came down, and began to seriously analyze to him, which length was not suitable for him, and which color made him more energetic... Cheng Xu could not understand it, and later, he carried a thick The glasses begged him for mercy: "Stop talking, just tell me which one to buy, okay?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Tangcheng said, "The blue-black one with the hat."

Cheng Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around to tell the salesperson who had been smiling and looking at them which one he wanted, and happily ran to pay for it.Xu Tangcheng looked at the back and shook his head, thinking that Cheng Xu would better find a girlfriend who can buy clothes and has ideas.

While thinking about these things, he walked around in place, looked left and right, and finally his eyes fell on a half-length black cotton jacket.He looked at the dress for a while, then tilted his head, picked it up and put it on himself.

When Cheng Xu came back, he heard Xu Tangcheng saying to the salesperson, "This one, bring me one..."

Xu Tangcheng stopped and thought for a while, and was not sure whether to buy the 185 or the 190.

"Will you buy it too?" Cheng Xu leaned over and asked.

Xu Tangcheng let out a "hmm", and tugged on the sleeves of the down jacket to visually check how loose it was: "Buy it for someone else."

After shopping for clothes, Cheng Xu saw that it was getting late, so he wanted to go back, but Xu Tangcheng looked at his watch and said to go back.It wasn't until Xu Tangcheng's cell phone rang that he looked at the letter, then twitched his lips, and said with Cheng Xu, "Let's go, go back and eat something good."

The door opened, Cheng Xu saw the birthday cake in Xu Tangqi's hand, and instantly panicked.Xu Tangcheng let out a "hey" and pressed his shoulder first: "Don't worry, it's my birthday tomorrow. It's just because we're leaving at night that Tang Qi passed it on to me in advance."

After listening to him, the first one to speak out was not Cheng Xu, but Zhou Hui who murmured in disapproval: "There is no birthday ahead of time, it is the day it is, and it is ahead of time..."

"It's okay." Xu Yueliang laughed twice, and patted his wife's shoulder with his thick palm, telling her to relax, "It's not that particular, it's not about this."

The meal was delicious, but until he packed his things and went home in the afternoon, Cheng Xu was still worried about Xu Tangcheng's failure to tell him his birthday in advance.Just as Xu Tangcheng knew that he was struggling to pick things up and didn't give him time to prepare gifts, Xu Tangqi knocked on the door and poked his head into the room.

Seeing Xu Tangcheng standing by the table, looking at him with a smile, Xu Tangqi curled his lips, and handed him the paper bag.

"It's all your fault," she murmured and complained, "You came back suddenly that day, and you surprised me, so I didn't have any sense of surprise."

"Okay, my fault," Xu Tangcheng held the paper bag in one hand, stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms to hug her, "Thank you, Tang Qi."

Xu Tangqi said "Happy Birthday" again, then sat on the bed, took Xu Tangcheng's lion pillow and hugged it in his arms.Seeing Cheng Xu hugging her new coat, she asked excitedly, "Brother Cheng Xu bought new clothes?"

The little girl always has a passion from the bottom of her heart for beautiful new clothes, even if the new clothes belong to someone else.She got up and walked in front of Cheng Xu, took a look at the dress, and smiled: "This is my brother's choice, and it is completely the same style as the clothes he usually wears. But this is also suitable for you, you More student-like than my brother..."

Speaking of this, Xu Tangqi suddenly stopped, she let out a short "ah" and turned around.

"By the way, brother, I almost forgot to tell you that brother Yi Zhe bought that pink down jacket for me."

Hearing this, Xu Tangcheng stopped the hands that were folding his clothes, bowed his body there, and repeated with some surprise: "Yi Zhe?"

After Xu Tangqi responded, Xu Tangcheng straightened up, he turned around, puzzled: "Why would he buy you clothes?"

"Didn't I go to buy gifts for you before? I didn't find a suitable one in the nearby shopping malls, so I went to Jinling Street."

Jinling Street is a commercial pedestrian street. Not long after it was built, it occupies a large area of ​​City C with twists and turns.Xu Tangqi had only been there once, and he was not familiar with the terrain there. When he came out after shopping for Xu Tangcheng that day, he looked up at the densely packed shops, and suddenly lost his way. Walking around a shop.While worrying, I heard someone calling her name.

Yi Zhe, who was dressed in black, came over, frowned slightly, looked at her, and asked what she was doing.

"Come to buy something," Xu Tangqi's voice trembled uncontrollably, "After shopping, I found that I couldn't find the way. The road here has many twists and turns, it's too difficult to recognize."

She came out after lunch, and the temperature was high at noon, plus she had been in the mall all the time, Xu Tangqi certainly didn't feel cold.But after wandering around for a long time, the sun was about to set. During the process of finding the way, the little thin jacket on my body could not resist the temperature that had dropped a lot and the strong wind that was blowing suddenly.Xu Tangqi shrunk his neck and shoulders, even though he had squeezed himself into the ball so desperately, he was still stamping his feet in the cold, and the hand holding the paper bag was also red from the cold.

Just as Xu Tangqi wanted to ask Yi Zhe for directions, he suddenly heard the sound of a zipper being pulled open.

"No, no, no," Xu Tangqi hurriedly said when he saw the thin T-shirt exposed under Yi Zhe, "I'm fine, I'm not that... cold."

She wanted to stop Yi Zhe from taking off her coat, but in fact, before she finished speaking, Yi Zhe had already stopped and put the clothes back on her body.

Xu Tangyin kept silent, thinking about whether he was acting affectionate, when he heard Yi Zhe say: "There is a smell of smoke, you can't smell it."

Xu Tangqi was stunned, then raised his head to look at Yi Zhe's face.

I don't know if it was because of irritability or something, but when she saw that Yi Zhe didn't even zip up his clothes, she turned her head and quickly scanned the surroundings, and her tone was a little anxious when she spoke again.

"Come with me first, and I'll take you back later." Yi Zhe bowed his head and stretched out a hand to her, "Give me the things, and I'll help you get them."

"It's fine. I..."

"give me."

The resignation was interrupted by two simple words, and Xu Tangqi met Yi Zhe's eyes.Because of Yi Zhe's eyes at that moment, when Xu Tangqi handed out the bag in his hand, his head was still numb.After walking two steps behind Yi Zhe, she later realized that it was not just just now. Although she and Yi Zhe didn't look at each other very often, every time he was like just now— —The eyes are quiet, but pure and firm, like when he looks at you, he can attract you into the deep sea that belongs to him.Even if he simply told her at the door of the unit that it was cold outside.

Yi Zhe took Xu Tangqi to a milk tea shop. After entering the door, Xu Tangqi saw three people sitting together staring at the same place. Sure enough, Yi Zhe walked towards them.

"Yo, little girl friend, you've hidden it deep enough." The boy with the chestnut hair dyed it first opened his mouth, the malicious smile and the frivolous tone made Xu Tangqi pause for a moment. pace.

Yi Zhe's answer was very strong: "Go to sleep, don't keep farting."

He pulled out the seat next to the girl, motioned Xu Tangqi to sit down, and handed her the bag in his hand after she sat down.It was only then that Xu Tangqi realized that there were books, test papers, and a collection of wrong questions written by someone who didn't know who was spread out on the table.

Brother Yi Zhe is studying here?Xu Tangqi was a little surprised.

"Can you drink what's here? I'll give you something lighter?"

When Xu Shi Yizhe said this, his voice was too gentle, so startled that the pen in the chestnut-haired boy's mouth was tilted, and it hit his teeth.

"Yes," Xu Tangqi glanced at the counter, "Honey grapefruit tea will do."

After finishing speaking, he carefully added: "Small cups are fine."

Yi Zhe nodded and went to the counter to order.

Yi Zhe left, and Xu Tangqi didn't know the people at the table, so he didn't know what to say for a while, so he smiled at them awkwardly.Accidentally catching a glimpse of the gossiping look of the chestnut-haired man, she simply turned her head and pretended to stare at Yi Zhe's back.I didn't expect to watch this moment full of small thoughts, and suddenly felt that when Yi Zhe took out money from his trouser pocket, the bent arms, slightly moving shoulders, and those casually standing legs were very special together. nice.

"Sister." The girl beside her suddenly called out to her.

She turned her head and saw that she was holding her chin and looking at herself with a smile. The expression on her face was clearly the same as that with the chestnut hair.Xu Tangqi's nose itched, and he raised his hand to touch it.

"My name is Zhao Ruofan." The girl tapped the table with two fingers, as if she was very happy, "I didn't expect Yi Zhe to be gentle and considerate."

The chestnut hair "vomited" and spat out the pen in his mouth onto the table.

Before the pen was settled down, Zhao Ruofan had already turned his head away, and quickly changed his expression to a blank expression: "If you don't want to stay, just leave."

Another boy with small square glasses glanced at the two of them, and quickly lowered his head as usual and continued to correct the paper.

"No," Xu Tangqi waved his hands repeatedly in this weird but harmonious atmosphere, "We are neighbors."

After saying this, Yi Zhe had already returned, Zhao Ruofan stroked his hair, and nonchalantly grabbed the boy next to him to give him a lecture.

Yi Zhe handed the honey citron tea to Xu Tangqi, telling her to stay warm here for a while, go out by herself, come back immediately, and take her home when she comes back.

Holding a cup of hot drink, Xu Tangqi tried his best to raise his neck and nodded towards Yi Zhe.

Before turning around, Yi Zhe glanced at the people at the table again, and said to Xu Tangqi, "You don't need to pay attention to them, just pretend you didn't hear what they said."

Xu Tangqi choked on the slightly larger piece of grapefruit that was sucked up, thinking that this is not good.Looking back, Yi Zhe had already pushed open the door and hurried into the cold wind.

Just 10 minutes later, the door of the milk tea shop was pushed open, and Yi Zhe came back with a big pink and white bag with vertical stripes in his hand.Xu Tangqi was very at a loss, feeling that she had really caused a lot of trouble for Yi Zhe, and when Yi Zhe shook out his clothes, she was still faltering and speaking intermittently.The chestnut-haired boy kept yelling non-stop, Yi Zhe said "shut up" and went to the counter to cut off the label.

"That's it. Brother Yi Zhe bought me that down jacket and took me back by taxi, but I couldn't tell you that day." Xu Tangqi raised his eyelids and looked at the ceiling, thought for a while and said, "How about Shall we treat Brother Yi Zhe to a meal, or thank him in some other way?"

Xu Tangcheng didn't answer immediately, he turned around and stared at the shirt in front of him in a daze.After being dazed for a while, he slowly folded half of the shirt to the center line, folded the sleeves back, and laid them carefully along the edge.

After folding the shirt, he said, "Let me think about it."
