The same was pressed in front of him, and his hand was too strong, grabbing Ni Qiu's wrist made Ni Qiu feel a little painful.

"The dishes you ordered." Ni Qiu said timidly.

"You chased me out even if I didn't give you any money? What if I'm really a free eater, I'll just eat a chicken wing and run away."

Ni Qiu smiled, stopped hiccupping, and didn't say anything, just laughed.The man let go of him, took the bag, and patted his head: "Thanks, customer service!"

He stuffed money into the pocket of Ni Qiu's apron and said, "Remember to come out with an umbrella next time!"

"Too much!"

The man ran away and waved to Ni Qiu: "Buy a pair of shoes and wear them, customer service!"

When Ni Qiu looked at his feet, the plastic slippers had already been soaked, and the insteps were covered with mud. He stretched his sleeves and lowered his head to wipe the insteps. When he raised his head again, the man had run away and disappeared.Ni Qiu squatted on the ground for a while, and had no choice but to return to the porridge shop with obviously too much money. He handed all the money to Boss Mao, and Boss Mao took it all. The two of them prepared in the kitchen for a while and then went to the shop. An awning outside.

The later the day, the heavier the rain, the crackling raindrops made people less interested in going out for food, and Ni Qiu spent a long time in the store waiting for the first customer tonight.Ni Qiu recognized this guest. As soon as he saw her, he took the teapot and bowls and chopsticks and greeted her with a smile: "Chu Qiao! Why is it so early today? Are you alone today? Does your nose still hurt? Be careful when you go out on a rainy day." Come on, don't fall again."

Chu Qiao patted the back of his hand, cupped her face and asked him, "Does your hairstyle look good today?"

Today she wears a braid, placed on the right shoulder, with a silk scarf in the braid, makeup on her face, bright lipstick, a blue and white checked skirt, and a short sweater blouse. The shoes are a pair of white high-heeled shoes with low heels. She is sitting in a booth with her chin propped on her hands. If you ignore the bruises on her face, she looks like a pictorial girl in the 30s.

"It looks good." Ni Qiu said, "What do you want to eat?"

"Help me pack it." Chu Qiao took out a vanity mirror from her satchel, looked in the mirror and said, "Ziwen is hospitalized, I'm going to accompany him tonight, I'm afraid his mouth will taste bad, so get me some brine Goose, porridge should be white porridge."

While Chu Qiao was waiting for the takeaway, some customers came in one after another. There was a round table of young people gathered around Chu Qiao. Two of them saw Chu Qiao, and Chu Qiao saw them, but both of them quickly moved away. line of sight.

Chu Qiao took out her phone and turned her body slightly to play the game.She turned down the sound effects of the game very low.

"Is it her? Is it her? Is the surname Chu?"

"Ah, I know, I know, the one who was gang-raped in No. [-] Middle School."

"Hush! She's here!"

"Order, order!"

Chu Qiao found a pair of headphones and plugged them into her phone. She stopped playing games and the phone locked automatically. She stared at the phone and poked the screen with her fingers. He buttoned his coat, grabbed the collar and walked out.

You Ziwen lived in Queen Mary Hospital, Chu Qiao took the bus there, and entered the inpatient building, she found a corner, wiped off the muddy water on her shoes with a paper towel, and put on her makeup again, seeing everything up and down to her satisfaction I went to the ward on the tenth floor.

You Ziwen lived in an ordinary ward with six people. His bed was close to the door. As soon as Chu Qiao entered, he called out to him, "Qiaoqiao," he said, "close the curtain."

Chu Qiao put the takeaway on the bedside table and said, "I packed Maoji's braised goose for you. Last time you ate it, you kept thinking about it. Have some?"

You Ziwen's head was wrapped into a pig's head, and he looked good. He smiled at Chu Qiao and said, "Qiao Qiao, open that drawer."

His voice was very sweet and intimate, which made Chu Qiao smile. She sat beside him and asked coquettishly, "What are you doing?"

"Open it and have a look." You Ziwen also acted like a baby with her, the two of them pushed back and forth, and started a loving fight on the white sheet with both hands.

Chu Qiao opened the drawer, and there was a pearl necklace inside. Although the beads were not big, they were round and clean.

"Last time, I was not good enough to scare you." You Ziwen said, his hands can move freely, but it is more difficult to look at people, he must first turn his neck to face the person he wants to look at.His voice became more waxy, and he still smelled of alcohol. He was like rice wine. The more he watched and the more he smelled, the more he would get drunk.

Chu Qiao turned her back to You Ziwen, and handed him the necklace. You Ziwen pushed back her braid, and the cold pearls stuck to Chu Qiao's skin. Instantly red.

"Qiaoqiao." You Ziwen put his hand on Chu Qiao's shoulder, his palm was greasy, as if sweating.Chu Qiao turned her face to look at him, saw the thick white bandage on his head, and burst out laughing.

"Stop laughing!" You Ziwen twisted her waist.The two started to fight, their voices became louder without realizing it, someone outside turned up the volume of the TV, You Ziwen took advantage of the situation to put his arms around Chu Qiao, made a gesture of silencing her, and stared at her.Chu Qiao paused, and only listened to the TV talking about the eight major crimes. The robbers openly provoked the police and sent the crime notice to the police station. Chu Qiao blinked her eyes to scratch You Ziwen's itch. out.They were arguing vigorously, the curtain was suddenly lifted, a man in a suit and leather shoes, about thirty, poked his head in, looked at them and said, "Brother Wen, sister-in-law, I didn't bother you, did I?"

Chu Qiao sat up straight, combed her hair, jumped off the bed with a smile, and said, "Xiao Yan, you are here, you chat for a while, I'm going to buy something to drink, what do you want to drink?"

"No, no, no, I just passed by after get off work, and I have to go home for dinner later." Xiao Yan was very polite.

You Ziwen said: "Buy him a bottle of herbal tea, you can see that his face is full of pimples, let's reduce the fire."

Chu Qiao picked up the bag, but You Ziwen held her back. Chu Qiao pouted and kissed him, and You Ziwen was willing to let go.

"Remember to eat the porridge while it's hot! It'll hurt your stomach if you eat it when it's cold!" Chu Qiao reminded him before leaving.

On the first floor, Chu Qiao remembered to take an umbrella. When she returned upstairs, she heard Xiao Yan and You Ziwen laughing at the door and said, "Brother Wen, you are the best, two women, my wife gives you bone soup, and my little wife gives you bone soup." Send braised goose, can you eat it?"

"If I can't eat it, it's your turn to eat it." You Ziwen said.

"That necklace looks familiar to me."

"Women don't wear jewelry for men to see, your sister-in-law wears it, and that sister-in-law wears it for me to see?"

"Brother Wen is right."

"Women..." You Ziwen chuckled, "That's about it."

"Then I'd like to ask for advice."

"A woman needs to be coaxed. If you coax her, she will immediately transform into a saint. If you slap her on the left cheek, she will come up to you with the right cheek."

Both of them laughed, and the laughter was mixed together, and Chu Qiao couldn't tell who was laughing louder, more disdainful, and more arrogant.She touched the necklace around her neck, touched the small and round pearls, the pearls had been warmed by her body temperature, and her hands began to feel greasy, very much like You Ziwen's sweaty palms.

Chu Qiao patted her shoulder, pushed open the door and went in, complaining to herself: "I'm such a pighead, I forgot to take my umbrella!"

Xiao Yan handed her the umbrella, rubbed his fingers against the back of Chu Qiao's hand, the two looked at each other, Chu Qiao held the umbrella, smiled and waved to them: "Goodbye."

She took an umbrella and went to the convenience store on the corner.The man in front of her at the checkout wanted to buy a lottery ticket, Chu Qiao couldn't help but look at this man, the man was plain and inconspicuous, she looked out the window again.No one walks into a convenience store, and no one walks out.

She couldn't fall asleep that night, but You Ziwen slept soundly, snoring loudly. In the middle of the night, Chu Qiao was lying by the window watching the rain. After the rain stopped, she took an umbrella and ran to the first floor. Outdoor parking.There are many vacant parking spaces, and the surrounding area is empty and humid. The air is filled with all kinds of fishy smells, earthy, bloody, fishy, ​​and sweaty.

Chu Qiao held the corner of her skirt and circled in the open space, one circle after another, until she became dizzy, she laughed, and swung her umbrella in an arc in the air.

She suddenly remembered the curve of a bottle of Coca-Cola popping open, and she thought of Fei Jue.A man with very white hair, even paler skin, flying eyes, and a silent beating.

Chu Qiao stopped, she leaned against a tree, it was almost dawn, and she could already see the morning light dormant on the edge of the horizon.Chu Qiao raised the umbrella and held it in front of her eyes like a gun, aiming with one eye.

"Boom."

The bullet was fired, the recoil bounced off her shoulder, and the sun jumped out of the steel forest and rose high into the sky.
