you may never have loved me

There is no chain supermarket in Liangcheng, except for the convenience store opened by Yaya's, there is only one relatively comprehensive market.This is also the main way for local residents to purchase food.

With Gu Shen, Yaya would not have to feel sorry for her.

She didn't dare to take care of her brother's hand, so she had to carefully pull the corner of his clothes.Gu Shen has long legs. When he takes a step, Ya Ya has to trot two or three steps closely behind him, which takes a lot of effort.

Su Ze was chewing gum carelessly, his child had a temper tantrum, he refused to talk to Qu Lingxi, deliberately left him behind, but looked back at Qu Lingxi from time to time.

Qu Ling was happy and leisurely, following behind these three people, not like walking together, more like passers-by who accidentally walked closer.

The market stalls are of various colors, and the sales are also mixed.

This is Liangcheng, the westernmost city in country C, and the stalls sell many local specialties.Qu Lingxi thought that the most famous thing in Liangcheng was all kinds of unpalatable food made from hemp, but when he came here today, he realized that it was not.

There are many specialties in Liangcheng, and they are still very novel, but he didn't pay attention to them before.

When he encountered something that he found novel, he would stop and squat down to ask a few questions.

Qu Lingxi fiddled with the white fox mask on the booth with great interest, tried it on her face, and asked the seller, "What is this?"

The seller lazily said, "Nuo noodles."

Qu Lingxi was thoughtful, and was about to ask a few more questions.

He heard Su, who was standing not far away, call him a few words angrily.Qu Lingxi put down her mask with a smile, stood up clapping her hands, and followed slowly.

Su was still in Qiquling, he was singled out, completely refusing to reflect on the fact that he intended to isolate him, and rebuked Qulingxi several times.

The general idea is that he is alone in Liangcheng, and he is unfamiliar with the place of life. What should he do if he gets separated?

Quling regrets that one ear goes in and the other goes out.

After recounting, Su Bie awkwardly handed him a piece of chewing gum, the rare yellow arrow.

Qu Lingxi was not pretentious, knowing that he meant well, she took it generously, put it in her mouth and chewed carelessly.

"That's Nuo noodles."

Qu Lingxi turned towards Gu Shen in a little surprise, and paused for a few seconds before realizing what he was saying.

He hesitated and said, "I know...we learned it in our junior high school textbooks. Some ethnic minorities will dance the Nuo dance to pray for good weather for a year. This kind of dance is masked, but..."

Gu Shen seemed to know what doubts Qu Lingxi had, so he continued naturally: "Nuo masks generally symbolize ghosts and gods, and most of them are scary and scary. But the mask you saw just now is not like that."

Qu Lingxi nodded, not knowing what to say, so she had to say yes.Although the craftsmanship of the white fox mask was not exquisite, it moved him very much.The white fox is so vivid that it even has a mustache, which is very vivid.The fox's face was also daubed with red powder, like blush, making it look pretty and shy.

Gu Shen glanced at him, then quickly turned his head away, as if it would be a waste to take another look: "Because Liangcheng is special. Nuo noodles are no longer used to dance ghosts and gods, but to seek marriage."

Qu Lingxi subconsciously groaned.

The next moment, he: "..."

Seek, seek marriage?

So just now he squatted down and held the mask with great interest, in their eyes, what exactly is it?Hungry, marriageable young men looking to leave single status immediately?

Qu Lingxi looked at the remaining two, speechless: "Do you all know?"

Su didn't bother to say, "I know. It's not my first time here."

Qu Lingxi looked at Yaya with a fluke mentality, hoping that Yaya's ignorance of the world would play a role.

Yaya just remembered and clapped her hands, "Speaking of which, the Huaxi Festival is coming soon. I asked my father to buy some masks. There are a lot more tourists this year, and the sales may be even better than the previous two years."

Qu Lingxi didn't want to ask what the Huaxi Festival was anymore, but it should be a folk festival similar to the Qiqiao Festival in the Central Plains.The point is, seek marriage.

Fortunately, he was the only one who was awkward, and everyone else thought it was normal.

They said they were shopping in the market, but Yaya and Su were the only ones who actually bought ingredients.Yaya is familiar with this place, so it is easier to start.Su Ze was full of opinions on food.

No tripe, no duck blood, no green vegetables, no baby vegetables, no potatoes, no corn.

This person treats it as a hot pot that he eats alone, all according to his personal ideas.Several times Yaya tried to contradict him, but she endured it.

Until Su happily put a box of fat lamb rolls into his bag.

Gu Shen was very decisive: "No."

Su looked at him in surprise, "...boss?"

Gu Shen put the fat sheep roll back, frowned and said, "It's too smelly, I don't like it."

It was just a trivial matter, but Su's face turned ashen, and he put the mutton back angrily, then glared at Qu Lingxi.

Qu Lingxi: "?" What does it matter to him?

He just ran to another booth to look at it for a while, completely unaware of what happened here.He who was attacked by Su's eyes as soon as he came back also felt baffled.

Qu Lingxi asked helplessly, "What's wrong?"

Su snorted.

Gu Shen said, "It's nothing. But you, are you curious about this market?"

"Yes." Qu Lingxi smiled, "I've only visited supermarkets before, and this is the first time I've been to this kind of market. I'm curious. I can even bargain."

Su: "..."

He snorted again: "Master from the rich family."

Qu Ling smiled: "Aren't you the young master of the rich family? You always talk about me."

Su stared straight: "I'm not."

Qu Lingxi was surprised. From head to toe, Su looked like a middle-class Chinese child who grew up abroad.He is like a young master who doesn't know the sufferings of the people, and he even has a similar temper.

Su Que said, "I live in a welfare home in country B. If the boss hadn't brought me out of it, I would have been a little boy selling matches, hugging the leg of a rich young master in the cold winter months, begging him to buy me one." Matches. Oh, that rich young master should be called Qu Lingxi."

Qu Lingxi: "..."

His first reaction was that Su actually knew about the twelfth lunar month.It seems that he has learned his mother tongue really well.

The second reaction is something else.

Qu Lingxi looked at the only insider, "Is everything he said true?"

Gu Shen said, "Really."

Qu Lingxi doesn't think she has the right to pity others, although Su's childhood sounds pitiful.

He pointed to himself again, "Then why did he target me?"

Gu Shen thought for a while and said, "He hates the rich."

Now Su even stared at Gu Shen.

Fortunately, Su didn't get angry for a long time, so he forgot about the mutton, and happily picked out a bunch of ingredients.He bought it by himself and carried it by himself, but he was not unhappy.

When he reached the fast door, Su Cai suddenly remembered that although he bought these by himself, he didn't eat them alone.For Qu Lingxi's taste, Gu Shendu abandoned his favorite fat lamb roll.Can Quling be justified without some coolies?

Thinking about it, he handed the heaviest bag to Qu Lingxi.Qu Ling, who took the ingredients, thought to herself, Su has a bad temper, it seems that he will have to make a cup of brown sugar water for him later.

Suddenly, Ya Ya pulled the corner of Qu Lingxi's clothes.

Qu Lingxi showed a little smile: "What's wrong?"

Yaya said cautiously: "Qu Lingxi, let's wait for Brother Gu."

Only then did Qu Lingxi realize that just now he was only focused on fighting with Su, and didn't even notice where Gu Shen had gone.He looked around and saw him in a familiar corner.

Gu Shen got up, and the tall man cast a figure, holding a familiar mask in his hand.

Qu Lingxi felt that her eyes were a little dry, so she blinked her tired eyes.

Gu Shen had already walked to his side, "Hand."

Qu Lingxi stretched out her hand in a daze.He was too flustered, he clearly knew what Gu Shen meant, but when he stretched out his arm subconsciously, it turned out to be an empty fist.

Gu Shen didn't say anything, and naturally spread Qu Ling Xi Songsong's hand, and then put the white fox mask that he liked on the palm of his hand.

The fox was facing him, smiling, Qu Lingxi was stunned.

Gu Shen quickly withdrew his hand: "This is an apology for you. Su is just a child with a temper, so you don't mind. He will forget about it in two days."

Qu Lingxi couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

There are expectations, and there are disappointments.

He gave a dry oh, and tried to put the fox mask on his face. He originally wanted to ask Gu Shen "whether it looks good or not", but when he thought it was just a mask, it would be the same for anyone wearing it, so he refrained from asking.

The mask was quickly taken off by him.

Qu Lingxi's eyes rolled around, and finally his eyes stayed on the tip of his and Gu Shen's shoes, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Gu Shen nodded, without saying anything, took Su Sai's shopping bag from Qulingxi's side.

They got into the car quickly.Gu Shen is right, Su is a goldfish with memory, and quickly forgets some dispensable things.He was sitting in the co-pilot, chatting with Gu Shen very excitedly.

Due to his nature, and because he had to concentrate on driving, Gu Shen didn't return to Su many times.Qu Lingxi could feel Gu Shen's occasional helplessness.

Qu Lingxi and Ya Ya sat in the back seat.Yaya was sleepy, sleeping on Qulingxi's lap, snoring softly.

His mask is on the right hand side, looking at him with a smile.

Qu Lingxi was a little absent-minded, he looked down at the mask for a while, and quickly turned the mask over so that the back was facing him.

This makes him feel better.

The car arrived at the intersection of the B&B.Qu Lingxi called Yaya up first, then took the initiative to go to the trunk, ready to share the coolies.They also bought a pot, which is not very easy to carry.

Gu Shen got out of the car.

Qu Lingxi was bending over to pick up something, when he heard someone calling him from behind, very intimately, he picked his ears.

But Su poked him from behind, raised his chin and said, "Someone called you."

Qu Lingxi saw Yan Li standing on the high platform of the hotel waiting for him at a glance.He subconsciously glanced at his phone to see if Yan Li had sent him a new message, telling him he would come over tonight.

No.

Their chat records are kept in the afternoon.

But he should have thought earlier that Yan Li is a person who loves to give surprises.

Su seemed to have remembered something, and said ambiguously, "Hey, he is your prospective boyfriend."

Gu Shen came over and heard their conversation.

He glanced at the white fox mask that Qu Lingxi put in the food plastic bag, and said in an unclear tone: "Actually, you don't need it."

Qu Lingxi understood what he meant.

This mask is used by the Liang clan to seek marriage, and his marriage has already arrived, so there is no need to do anything unnecessary by standing on the high platform and watching him.

But Qu Lingxi's heart was empty.The little joy I got because of a new gift, like an hourglass, leaked away bit by bit.
