Ceaseless

Chapter 45

When clocking out of get off work at night, Su Xi ran into the chef next door in the narrow alley at the back door.The other party came out of the alley together with him, and when they were about to part ways under the street lights on the street, the chef brother seemed to remember something, turned around and stopped him, took out half a moment in his jacket pocket, and took out two free tickets for the cinema Coupons come.

The chef brother squinted at the words on the ticket with the help of the light above his head, grabbed Su Xi's hand and stuffed the two tickets into his hand, "The boss of the shop gave benefits to the employees two days ago. It's a pity that I Many people of old age are not in the mood to go to the cinema to watch this set of movies. The two tickets are expired and wasted with me, so let's give them to you young people to watch with friends."

After he finished speaking, he left without leaving any room for Su Xi to refuse.So much so that Su Xi didn't have time to say it out. In fact, he probably hasn't been to the cinema for several years.

When he was still hesitating whether to pursue him or not, he saw that the big brother chef had gone further and further away in his sight.Su Xi hesitated for a second, and finally put the two tickets in his pocket.After returning home, he put the two tickets on Zhongqing's bedside, and sent a WeChat message to Zhongqing, intending to give the two tickets to Zhongqing.

Zhong Qing is full of bitterness, but he can't pour it out. The reason is that he is busy going to work at night, and busy sleeping with his head covered during the day, so he has no time to go to the movies.By the way, I don’t forget to remind you at the end, don’t forget to check the expiration date on the ticket, don’t forget that the ticket will be invalid after the deadline.

Su Xi took a look at the ticket, and noticed that the validity period on the ticket was only within this week.He thought for a second, then remembered that the month had just begun and his vacation hadn't been used up yet.He thought about it carefully, and he didn't seem to reject such a sudden pastime as watching movies.

Just when he thought of the word "friend" in the chef's words, he didn't make too much trouble in his heart.After much deliberation, among the friends he has met in this city now, except for the love that he has been under the same roof day and night, his friend is probably only Yang Ji.

However, Yang Ji has been busy with work and chasing people recently, and most likely he has no spare time and leisure time to go to the movies with him.Compared to going to the movies with him, the other party is probably more willing to go with Shen Qingyi.

Although he couldn't find Ling Yi who could go with him, the idea of ​​watching a movie came out of his whim, which left a faint imprint on his heart.

When going to work the next day, Su Xi asked the person in charge of scheduling to take a day off during the weekend.The other side looked a little surprised and joked: "It's rare to see you being so active in taking time off. In the past, most of the time, the holidays were stacked until the end of the month. I was worried that your time off would be invalid when it expired, so I came here to remind you."

Su Xi smiled when he heard the words, but didn't say much.

On the day of the rest day, I didn't think about checking the weather forecast. I didn't expect that the first five days of the whole week would be sunny and cloudless, but on Saturday, a heavy rain warning message popped up on the phone.

When I wake up in the morning, the sky is dark and heavy, and one after another, the thick morning fog shrouds the entire city, and the air in early winter is stuffy and cold.Su Xi replaced the autumn quilt and took out the winter thick quilt from the closet.

The heavy rain has not been able to fall until the afternoon, but the rolling dark clouds in the sky are looming to fall.Su Xi changed into a thickened dark sweater, and before going out, he took the black umbrella that stood in the corner behind the door and had been filled with dust for many days.

The location of the movie theater is in the pedestrian street shopping mall near the hot pot restaurant, not far from where Su Xi lives.He still walked through the alley near the rental house according to the usual route to work.When walking halfway, the downpour of rain came without warning, and Su Xi held up an umbrella in the rain.

In the middle of the street in the rain and fog, a car slowly drove out of the line waiting for the red light to turn green, and stopped on the side of the road not far from him.The passerby without an umbrella cursed lowly, covered his forehead with his hands, and ran past him in a hurry, without even noticing that his feet were stepping into the muddy puddles.

The sewage in the puddle splashed on Su Xi’s shoe. Su Xi glanced down, opened an umbrella and walked to the eaves of the bookstore on the street, put the umbrella away and leaned against the wall outside the store, took out a tissue from his pocket, Bend down and wipe off the mud on the shoe.

The bookstore owner who was sitting opposite him came out from behind the cash register, stopped in front of him and asked earnestly, "Can you lend me your umbrella? My son came to deliver food to me, and he was blocked across the street without an umbrella." Yes. I'll go pick him up."

Su Xi handed the umbrella by the wall to the other party.

The owner of the bookstore thanked him repeatedly, then turned around and gave instructions to the clerk who was arranging the bookshelves in the store, then turned around and walked quickly into the rain with an umbrella.

Su Xi stood at the door of the store for a second, then turned and walked into the bookstore.He goes all the way through the literature and fiction area, towards the tool and professional area.He casually picked up the cooking tutorial books on the bookshelf, glanced at them, and put them down again.He took two steps forward, but when he looked up, he saw books related to gardens on the top shelf of the bookshelf.

Su Xi paused for a moment before remembering that this was his university major.He wanted to go around directly, but he stood still for a few seconds and stretched out a hand towards the top of the bookshelf.He took down the book and flipped through it, but he didn't know the contents of the book at all.

Su Xi closed the pages of the book in his hand, looked at the name on the cover of the book in a trance, and then let out a soft breath, and put the book back to its original place.After estimating the time in his mind, he planned to return to the door of the store.

When he turned around, he bumped into the bookstore customer standing behind him.Su Xi took a step back, raised his head to apologize, but when he saw the guest's face clearly, he froze in place.

The guest in front of him seemed to have expected what he was going to say, standing upright in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "It's okay."

Su Xi followed him out of the bookshelf area. The bookstore owner was standing at the door of the store with an insulated lunch box in one hand and a dripping umbrella in the other.When Su Xi appeared from the corner of the eye, the owner of the bookstore put the lunch box on the cash register, thanked him and handed the umbrella in the direction of Su Xi.

Before Su Xi stretched out his hand, Nie Jingze beside him took the umbrella first, and replied "You're welcome" to the bookstore owner without changing his face, and glanced sideways at Su Xi, "Where are you going?"

Without answering him, Su Xi took his umbrella from Nie Jingze, and walked steadily towards the outside of the bookstore.Nie Jingze followed him out of the bookstore, stood under the eaves of the store entrance, looked at Su Xi who was holding up an umbrella and was about to go out, frowned slightly, "I didn't bring an umbrella."

Su Xi tilted the umbrella in his hand and asked him, "Did you not drive?"

"I didn't drive." Nie Jingze answered casually, stepped forward to take the handle of the umbrella in his hand, and repeated clearly, "I didn't drive, so I'll borrow your umbrella for a while."

He raised an arm around Su Xi's shoulder, wrapped him in his arms, and gently pushed Su Xi into the heavy rain.The whole body was instantly surrounded by the other party's aura, Su Xi was in a trance for a second, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Nie Jingze's umbrella hand.

The other party was wearing a black coat, and the sleeves of the coat were slightly pulled up when holding the umbrella, revealing a watch on his wrist.

Wearing a watch is not a rare thing, but the watch looks like an old watch from a certain age, no matter from the glass surface or the metal strap.

More importantly, Su Xi's gaze was fixed on Nie Jingze's wrist, and he felt that the watch looked familiar for no reason.

At the same time, the owner of the bookstore who was eating behind the cashier suddenly raised his head, and was surprised to see that an umbrella was placed by the door outside the store alone.

The car parked in the rain on the street outside the store has not waited for its owner for a long time.
