When the food reserves become my wife

Chapter 20 Trapped in the Rain

Yige hides in my pocket on weekdays, a small branch, and very quiet, I soon got used to it.However, I forgot to take it out of my pocket a few times when I changed clothes, and it was thrown into the washing machine several times.

Every time I heard the cry for help, I remembered that I had done something wrong again. I took the drenched clothes out of the pocket of the clothes that were hanging out, and it lay on my shoulders, wringing and soaking silently. With long silver hair and curvy train, she didn't mean to blame me in the slightest.This made me even more guilty, and I repeatedly reminded myself that I must not do this next time.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and it is July in a blink of an eye.In this season when others can see through his figure at a glance, Cheng Cheng's girlfriend thinks he is too fat and threatens him to lose weight or break up.Cheng Cheng sniffed aggrievedly while confiding to me whether he was fat or not. I dug out the electronic scale I bought from home and asked him to weigh it before talking. He stood on it and looked at the display of the electronic scale. My eyes widened in disbelief, and I went to the gym in desperation to lose weight.

With the power and threat from love, Chengcheng has lost more than ten catties in only twenty days. The fat on his stomach has disappeared, leaving only a thick layer of skin. Almost all the pants can't be worn. I can see it It's frightening.

While I was off work, I accompanied him to the shopping mall to buy clothes. Originally, he could go alone, but I was really worried about his aesthetics. Last time the shopping mall held a promotion, he bought a big bag of underpants, all of which were bright red. Seeing that I almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and now when the clothes are drying at home, the red pants are floating outside the window, which is very eye-catching.

With the eyes of a normal person, I picked out some clothes for Cheng Cheng and asked him to try them on. I sat down on the sofa in front of the counter and took out my phone to open the company's WeChat group.

Colleagues from the scientific research department in the group are asking if you have any suggestions for new products, and people from other departments enthusiastically put forward all kinds of reliable and unreliable opinions. My eyes can't keep up with the speed of their screen swiping.I watched for a while, and just as I was about to express my opinion, someone stopped the topic first.

[Supervisor] Liao Lianjun: Everyone discussed so happily, it seems that they have finished their work.

In an instant, there was no one talking, leaving only Liao Lianjun's message and Chu Jingjing's string of "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" occupying the screen.

Not long after, another message came out.

[Director] Liao Lianjun: Comrade Zhang Chao, if you have any ideas, you can bring them up at the company meeting. I remember that you were very honest and slept from beginning to end during the meeting this week.

If I hadn't seen Liao Lianjun's weak appearance when he was injured, it would be hard for me to imagine that such a strong woman in the workplace is actually a soft girl at heart.

Cheng Cheng came out of the fitting room, I raised my head and asked, "Are you comfortable?"

"Very good." He nodded, stood in front of the mirror, stroked his chin and looked around: "Why do I feel so flirtatious?"

"Where's the show, isn't it pretty? Why didn't you feel showy when you bought the red pants last time? You have to trust my vision." I walked around him twice, and said to the salesperson next to him: " I want this one."

The saleswoman seldom met such a cheerful customer. She responded sweetly and smiled and went to write the payment slip. Another girl next to her leaned on the counter and said to her, "They said it was raining outside."

"It's okay, we won't get wet, and the rain will definitely stop when we get off work." The saleswoman told Cheng Cheng to pay the money and wrap his old trousers: "The rain in summer comes and goes quickly."

However, this sentence does not seem to apply to today's situation.

The rain made the glass roof of the shopping mall rattle, and there was a lot of noise.Cheng Cheng and I thought about waiting for the rain to stop before leaving, so we went for a stroll, slipped from morning to noon, and had a meal at the rooftop restaurant. The rain continued, so we had no choice but to prepare to leave.

A large group of people gathered at the entrance of the shopping mall, and they were all preparing to go back when the rain subsided. Cheng Cheng and I took a look out of the crowd by relying on our height, and then we were so surprised by the stagnant water outside that we didn’t know what to say. alright.

The water must be seventy or eighty centimeters deep...

"Can we go back?" Cheng Cheng asked.

"That's enough..." I feel a little bad. The place where the shopping mall is located is the old town of Chen City. The terrain is low and the drainage system is not good enough. The rain is so heavy that it won't stop for a while.There have been torrential rains in many cities recently, and I have seen many videos of flooding Jinshan on the Internet. I never thought that I would experience it myself today.

Thick rain clouds hovered low in the dark sky, and the bean-sized raindrops poured down like splashes, flying wantonly in the strong wind.In the hazy rain, an uncle ran towards the shopping mall, holding his big pants with both hands, and the water was no higher than his knees.A bus with half of its body exposed outside slowly passed by, and the splash of water hit from behind like mountains and seas, chilling the uncle's heart.

I:"……"

"...Let's wait." Cheng Cheng crossed his arms and looked at it for a while, then sighed, and was about to find a place to sit.

I had no choice but to compromise, and followed him through the crowd. When I raised my eyes, I saw a familiar face among the crowd of black heads.

Liao Chi?

Cheng Cheng pulled me to squeeze left and right towards the elevator, Liao Chi was standing next to the elevator, and soon the two of us crowded beside him, I waved to him to say hello, Liao Chi responded with a slight smile: "So skillful."

On a hot day, he was still dressed in a neat suit, and he was very heroic. He probably came directly from the company. Many female compatriots secretly glanced in his direction, chatting excitedly with their companions.

"Isn't it?" I grabbed Cheng Cheng who didn't know why, and replied with a smile: "Mr. Liao is here to buy something?"

"En." Liao Chi raised the two large bags of dog food in his hand: "Mr. Lian insists on me coming over to buy for Panpan, this is good, it's hard to say whether I can go back."

I thought about it, Panpan should be the husky I saw when I was injured and met Liao Chi in the alley.When Cheng Cheng heard me call him Mr. Liao, he understood that this was my superior. As a good roommate in China, he immediately stood behind me quietly with his chest up, and smiled politely at Liao Chi.

Cheng Cheng is almost a head taller than me, who is 1.8 meters four, and he is as strong as an iron tower, which is very oppressive.Liao Chi raised his gaze and asked, "This is..."

"This is my roommate, Li Cheng." I patted Cheng Cheng's thick back with my backhand: "We both rented a house together, and today I accompanied him to buy some clothes while we were off work, but we ended up stuck here."

"It shouldn't rain for too long, but I don't know when the water will recede." Liao Chi looked out with some distress, and suggested, "Go upstairs and wait?"

"it is good."

The three of us stayed in the cafe on the roof for a while, went to see a movie, and waited until dusk.Liao Chi is good-natured and funny, Cheng Cheng and I feel no pressure when we stay with him.The rain stopped soon, but the accumulated water has not receded, probably because the branches and leaves knocked down by the rain blocked the mouth of the sewer pipe.It was going to be dark, we looked at the "vast ocean" outside and decided to go back now.

Liao Chi's car was in the underground garage and couldn't be driven out. We discussed it and decided to take the bus.The nearest bus stop is 40 meters away from the shopping mall. It should be no problem to wade there, but...

I looked at Liao Chi silently, he understood instantly, and said without paying too much attention: "It's okay, you can change your clothes when they are dirty, since you plan to go back, this is inevitable."

I nodded, and the three men walked out of the shopping mall with two bags of dog food and one bag of clothes under the watchful eyes of everyone. Facing the muddy water on the street, I felt a little helpless, thinking that it would be great if I could turn into my body and fly back.

At this time, Yige poked its head out of the breast pocket of my shirt and gave a surprised "wow". I stretched out my fingers and tapped its little head lightly, pressing it back.Liao Chi and Cheng Cheng had already waded into the water, I made up my mind to follow closely, and a soft voice sounded in my mind.

"A lot of water."

I hummed, and in response, Yige continued to talk to himself: "The last time I saw such a scene was when the squid broke free from the seal of the East China Sea..."

"What fish?" I thought those two words were familiar, as if I had heard them somewhere.

"Yingyu, with the body of a fish and the wings of a bird, sounds like a mandarin duck, and when you see it, it is like a big water. It is a strange beast recorded in the Shan Hai Jing." Yige explained.

I groaned, recalling that when Gu Chuan was teaching me, he used "Shan Hai Jing" as a textbook, but now I only remember a few distinctive beasts.Of course, torrential rains in summer are the norm, so it's impossible for some squids to make trouble in Chen City.

Fortunately, we didn't wait long before we reached the stop sign, and the bus came. The moment the bus stopped and opened the door, water poured into the bus, and the three of us got on the bus quickly.

There were vacant seats in the car, and we were so wet that we chose to stand for fear of getting our seats wet.Beads of sweat oozed slightly from Liao Chi's forehead, and the broken hair on the sideburns was a little messy. The white shirt was wet from the drizzle, revealing the wheat-colored skin on his chest.The bus didn't pass by Liao Chi's residence, so he called Liao Lianjun to pick him up in a car, greeted us, and got off the bus ahead of time in a place where there was no stagnant water.

Cheng Cheng and I got off the car at the gate of our neighborhood. Cheng Cheng stepped on sandals, carried his new clothes, and pointed to my soaked sneakers with a smile: "How do you feel?"

"Excellent." I replied honestly, "It's not a problem to raise a few fish."

The two of us wrangled all the way and finally entered the house.I poured out all the water in the shoes, twisted the socks, threw them into the basin together with the shoes, and shouted to Cheng Cheng who was in the kitchen after changing into clean clothes and preparing to cook: "You can buy clothes like this with you!" Fate is so bad, shouldn't you cook some good dishes to reward me."

"I'll reward you with a few delicious and soft steamed buns." Cheng Cheng replied in the kitchen.I curled my lips, took a box out of my pocket and put it on the bedside, and changed all my clothes.

When I took off my shirt, I suddenly thought of a serious question. I glanced at Yiqin who was combing my slightly wet long hair, and asked, "Are you a boy?"

"No."

I froze when I undressed, as if seeing through my scruples, Yige hastily added: "I'm not a woman either."

Me: "……………… Huh?"

I later learned that Gardenia is a monoecious plant.
