The shower in the warehouse was not small enough for both Tessie and Barnes to squeeze in.

"Take off your muddy clothes first," Tessie said, then turned to adjust the water temperature.Barnes hesitated for a while, and slowly unbuttoned the arm belt, and then heard a crisp sound. Tessie turned around and found a pistol. The gun fell to the ground.

Tessie: ...

Barnes: ...

"I don't remember anything," Barnes said immediately. "I didn't know I had this on. It was always on my waist."

Tessie approached cautiously: "Is it live ammunition? Be careful not to fire."

Barnes said, "Well... let me check."

He picked up the gun, opened the clip very skillfully, then took out the bullet, and showed Tessie the empty chamber: "It's gone now."

Tessie watched as he put the gun on the pile of books outside, then took off his shirt, which was so tight that he had a hard time getting it off, and then they discovered that there was still a bulletproof vest behind the tights.

Barnes thought about what he was doing before, and Tessie was completely attracted by his left arm: "You, your arm..."

Barnes moved his left hand, opened and closed his fingers, and frowned: "...metal."

Tessie became even more curious. She leaned over and asked, "Can I touch it?"

Barnes was not used to a little girl getting so close, he moved uncomfortably, and said in a low voice, "...um."

Tessie touched his forearm lightly, and then went all the way up until she touched the red star logo. She looked up at Barnes and said excitedly: "It's really metal! What kind of black-tech prosthetic is this?" ?"

Barnes didn't know anything, he could only watch Tessie touch his arm, and then Tessie asked a crucial question: "Is this thing... conductive?"

Barnes blushed a little, and he shook his head.

"Then it shouldn't work with electricity, and its surface is not insulated..." Tessie muttered, "That's great, I'm just worried about it when you take a shower... By the way, if you take a shower, will it leak and short circuit? ?”

Barnes was silent for a while, then said, "Should...not."

"That's good." Tessie smiled again, "Hurry up and take off your pants and go in to take a shower. Let me tell you, this is the shower gel and this is the shampoo. If you want hot water, turn to the left. There is no hot water. Just call me, and I'll burn it for you."

Barnes nodded, and Tessie gave him another look, couldn't hold back her smile, and closed the door behind him before leaving.

"So cute, he's so cute," Tessie murmured, "Oh my god he's so cute..."

Hearing the sound of water, she remembered that she had to find some clothes for him.

Tessie went straight to the street and found a men's clothing store. When the shopkeeper saw Tessie coming in, he immediately opened the cash drawer: "Do you want this month's money today?"

Tessie: "...Well, I'm here to find some clothes."

The owner was a little confused, he said, "I am a men's clothing store."

"I know." Tessie was a little annoyed, "You think I'm blind? What I'm looking for is men's clothing!"

Seeing Tessie's reaction, the owner seemed to understand something, and asked tactfully, "Then... what size do you want?"

"1.8 meters." Tessie estimated in her heart, "Not fat, quite thin, with such a thin waist." She compared it seriously. If she didn't know that Tessie can hit ten at a time, the shopkeeper would have laughed out loud, " The legs are so long." She compared again.

The shopkeeper buried his face in the pile of clothes, looking for it, but he was actually grinning.

Tessie thought about it for a while, and said affirmatively: "The waist and legs are very thin, um."

The shopkeeper lowered his head deeply, adjusted his expression before turning back, holding two white shirts: "Do you want to see this one? Or this one?"

Tessie looked innocent: "Can I have both?"

Shopkeeper: ...

"Well," Tessie said, "I'll only charge $100 for your family's protection fee in the future, and let me come to your house to pick up the clothes, okay?"

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper folded the two white shirts for her, raised his voice to call the shopping guide lady, and asked her to pack behind Tessie, but Tessie refused: "No, no, help me put the hang tag after you pick it up." Just cut it off, I’m going to wear it soon, oh, that, give me the hanger too.”

"By the way, boss," Tessie suddenly remembered after hugging a large stack of clothes, "do you sell underwear here?"

Shopkeeper: "...Yes."

"Is there a size for men's underwear? I haven't seen his size." Tessie was a little tangled, "Why don't you give me one pair for every size, and I'll let him try them all when I get back."

Shopkeeper & Ms. Shopping Guide: ...you can.

Barnes hesitated after taking a shower. He didn't really want to wear the dirty clothes he had changed before, but he had no other choice. Suddenly he heard Tessie knocking on the shower door from outside: "Barnes, you Are you done washing?"

"Okay." He subconsciously picked up a towel to cover the indescribable, and sure enough, Tessie said in the next second, "I'll send you some clothes, you can pick them up."

Barnes swallowed nervously, his metal arm was carefully covered with a towel, and he gently opened the sliding door with his right hand, opening a small slit, and Tessie's hand stretched out from that slit Come in and hand him the clothes.Barnes took the clothes according to the position of her hand, and inevitably touched her hand. Tessie deliberately rubbed her hand slightly when she touched it, and Barnes quickly retracted her hand. Pull the sliding door shut.

Barnes breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the clothes one by one and found that Tessie not only brought him a white shirt and slacks, but also three pairs of pants of different sizes.

He compared each other with their fat times, and suddenly Tessie swayed to the door of the shower room and asked, "How is it? What size do you wear?"

Barnes held back for a long time and said, "...L size."

"Yeah okay, then I will buy it according to this in the future." Tessie brushed and memorized outside the shower, "Is the size of the clothes right?"

Barnes, who was buttoning up his shirt one by one, stretched his arms without feeling any discomfort in his shoulders, and said, "It fits well."

"That's great..." Tessie laughed, and in the next second, Barnes opened the sliding door and met Tessie with a bright (wretched) smile.

"Hmm..." Barnes tugged at the hem of his shirt uncomfortably, "Um... can I eat?"

Tessie wiped the corners of her mouth, she was so relieved to find that she was so good-for-nothing that she was drooling, and hurried to the small table, and helped Barnes pull out the chair: "Come and eat!"

Barnes sat down. Because of his height, he had to bend slightly so that his arms could rest on the table more conveniently.Tessie crossed her left chopsticks with her right and asked, "Do you use chopsticks or a fork?"

"Fork." He took the small plastic fork, faced with a table of dishes, it was difficult to choose for a few seconds, and finally chose the box of shrimp dumplings in front of him, Tessie looked at him with a smile and chewed each shrimp dumpling for a while, The eyes obviously lit up, and then another fork, and another fork...

After eating the shrimp dumpling, he still pursed his mouth regretfully. Tessie felt that he was about to die of his cuteness, so she quickly moved the rice rolls and wontons to him: "There are shrimps in it, too, so it's delicious."

Barnes glanced at her, said softly, "Thank you," and continued with the sausage fungus, one bite at a time.Although he was expressionless, Tessie could swear she saw countless little golden bubbles popping up all over Barnes, they were happy bubbles!

So cute, how can someone be so cute!Tessie had always felt that it was shameful to describe a big man with "cute", but today she found that there was no other word to describe him except "cute"!

"Is it enough? There is also porridge here." Tessie held her face and watched him roll up the wonton noodles with a fork, which was a little clumsy. Seeing that Barnes ate so deliciously, she was also a little hungry.

"Let me have some too." She muttered, and stretched out her hand to drag the stewed pig's trotters. Barnes caught a glimpse of the red and oily stewed pig's trotters, and suddenly couldn't move his eyes away.

Baji: Meat=q=...

Tessie sensed his longing, and turned her head to see that he was staring at the stewed pig's trotter with the eyes of a cat staring at a bird without blinking.

Such → → OmO

Tessie pushed the stewed pork trotters over: "You take one."

He immediately put down the wonton noodles to fork the pig's trotters. At this moment, the phone on the stack of books rang "Ji-ring--" and Tessie jumped up from the chair to check the phone number.

"Boss Wu was robbed." She said as she rushed out of the warehouse, "I'll go and settle it. Do you stay here or—"

Barnes stood up and ran out with her, worried that she was a little girl to help.

Although he was very reluctant to part with his trotters.

Tessie stopped suddenly at the door of the store, facing the robber in stockings, with a large cloth bag full of wallets in her left hand and a gun in her right hand.He saw a little girl whose head had just reached his shoulder approaching with a murderous look, and without thinking about it, he waved his gun and threatened, "Little girl, get out of the way!"

Barnes took a step back, seeing that Tessie was about to hit the muzzle of the gun, his heart tightened, and he speeded up to pull her away, but a surprising scene happened——

Tessie was like a bolt of lightning. Before the robber's threat was finished, her punch had already slammed into his face. Barnes couldn't see her movements at all, he could only see her in a white T-shirt A white shadow of the T-shirt was moving rapidly in front of his eyes, and following the fierce attacks, the robber did not hold on for more than 10 seconds, and fell heavily on the ground, unconscious, with nosebleeds all over the ground, and the cloth pocket and the gun flew together. out.

"Put this away." Tessie pouted at the gun on the ground, and Barnes did as he did. After picking it up, he immediately went to see Tessie: "Are you... not injured?"

Tessie looked safe and sound: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a sore hand... I have to go and return the wallet to Boss Wu, Boss Wu! Did you call the police?"

"I've reported it." Boss Wu thanked him with gratitude, "I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll go and return the wallet to the guest... Hey, Tessie, do you want to eat something before leaving? Stewed chicken soup, ouch, that old hen is very good, I specially went to the farm to pick the chicken myself—”

"No, no, no, I haven't eaten the stewed pig's trotters packed at noon." Tessie rebuffed, "Then what, let's go!"

When Boss Wu heard the "we", he realized that there was someone beside Tessie: "This is..."

He looked at the black-haired tall young man with an indifferent temperament. He was wearing a white shirt, and his half-long black hair was a little wet. It was held behind his head by him, and he looked handsome and charming.

Boss Wu: Oh, the little hairy aconitum has such good eyesight!

Didn't recognize it as the bum this morning.

"My little brother." Tessie patted Barnes' elbow, and he glanced at her without denying it, "Well, it will be the same for me to pay the protection fee to him in the future."

"Oh, oh, if you know." Boss Wu nodded with a smile. After Tessie and Barnes walked away and the police car blew its whistle and drove over to take the robbers away, Boss Wu returned the wallet to the guest and greeted the guests. The young lady gossiped about melon seeds: "Oh, tell me about these little girls abroad, they are really fierce, and they have a relationship at the age of 15."

"They develop early and are generally mature. They are still in junior high school at this age in China." Miss Yingbin said, grabbing another handful of melon seeds, "But her boyfriend is very handsome, so good-looking."

"Do you...do you usually do this kind of thing?" Barnes sat at the table and asked Tessie, who was so happy eating pig's trotters.

"What kind of thing? You said to help deal with the robbers?" Tessie scratched the remaining flesh with her front teeth, "Ah, this area of ​​Wushou Street is my territory. Usually, their shops pay protection fees every month, and I help them Settle this kind of dispute, you know," she shrugged, "Chicago is very messy, you can't go out at night, and you will meet someone who is crazy about money during the day."

Isn't this just... isn't it just a bastard!

Barnes was quite worried: "But...you are the only one to protect them?"

"That's enough, it's enough for me alone." Tessie said nonchalantly, "It's okay for me to hit ten."

Thinking of the 10-second crush 10 minutes ago, Barnes, the real fighter, fell silent.

"...Let me go next time." He said.

"You?" Tessie raised her head to look at him and laughed, "No need, just eat well, read more books, and try to recover your memory as soon as possible. I'll do the money-making business."

#Overbearing president Tessie package. Raise me#

Barnes turned off the ignition again: "Reading...?"

"Yes, reading," Tessie said as a matter of course, "The last time you read "The Sun Also Rises" you remembered the name, maybe reading any other books this time can restore your memory?"

Barnes: "Is it that easy?"

"Hey, I actually think you might be a ruthless killer." Tessie put down the leftover bones, her face full of interest, "Look at you, you're wearing a tights and a bulletproof vest, with a gun, and you're in good shape (?) , maybe a member of a mysterious organization who unfortunately got hit by falling rocks while doing a mission... oh, it rained heavily that night! So it's normal to have a landslide-blame the Chicago Forestry Department! Then you will lose your memory , wait until the day someone from the mysterious organization finds you again..."

Barnes didn't know what expression to make, so he could only look at Tessie blankly.

"How about my story?" Tessie said so that she believed it, "Is there anything touching you?"

"No," he said, "I just think you should write a book."

"Writing a book..." Tessie got up to clear the table, Barnes watched her stack up the plastic packing boxes, and also helped put the residue into the garbage bag, Tessie muttered while wiping the table: "This is a new idea... "

In another distant world, a small black room, two readers watched the real-time video in front of the computer with confused faces.

[Bai Lu: ... No, someone is going to start writing again? 】

[Kurokawa: ... I want to see it a little bit. 】

When Tessie got out of the shower and put on her nightgown, she saw Barnes sitting on her cot, staring at an open book.

"What's the matter?" she asked as she rubbed her hair. Barnes glanced at her, eyes flickering, opened his mouth, and said, "...I think, read this book."

Tessie looked up, "The Sun Also Rises".

"Very good, read Hemingway's book." Tessie said, "But you can read it, don't be infected by the pessimism in it, and don't put yourself in it."

Barnes lowered his head and continued to read, and said sullenly, "Okay."

Tessie watched him study hard, turned around and went to the maze-like pile of books, seriously trying to find a few books for the first time.

For example... uh, this book at hand-

"Lolita"?

The story of a handsome young man and an immature young girl.

Tessie looked down at her own airport, then looked back at the handsome young man Humbert Barnes, silently took a book and put it in her arms.

Review it, review it.

The author has something to say: Brother Baji: ...I always feel that it's not me but her who can knock someone unconscious with a single punch.

When I was writing Tai Mei Gua Zong, I was thinking about the charter woman

(Mr. Gua is actually a literary young woman...)
