I was the first to catch up

Sunday, very normal morning.Yu Xiaomin woke up as usual, remembering that she had an appointment with Zhang Ling tonight, but there were also many things at the breakfast shop, so she sighed and tried to get up.

After getting up, she washed up briefly. In the mirror, she had heavy bags under her eyes, and she didn't look good. Thinking of wearing makeup for so long at night, Yu Xiaomin sighed unconsciously.

After fastening the garbage bag and putting on a thin coat, Yu Xiaomin looked at the door, turned around after throwing away the garbage, and saw two large bags of vegetables and fruits placed at the door.

For the third time, Yu Xiaomin sighed.She looked left and right for a while, and after hesitating, she picked up the two bags and went back to the house.

Yu Xiaomin put the bag on the table and took out the address - the address was her home, there was nothing wrong with it.The consignee is Yu Xiaomin, and there is nothing wrong with that.

She opened the bag again to check the contents. They were all ordinary fruits and vegetables, and there were some desserts in the other bag.

Yu Xiaomin sat on the chair, she rubbed her temples, trying to clarify the situation.

From a few weeks ago, I don’t know who, every Sunday, I will order two big bags of Mahe fresh food for her, all of which are the same vegetables and fruits plus desserts.She didn't dare to eat it in the first week, and asked all acquaintances, but no one claimed the kindness. In the second week, she deliberately caught the little brother who delivered the food. Fresh over there.

The little brother said so, although Yu Xiaomin doesn't really want to eat things bought by strangers, but watching them rot like this is not an option.So she stuffed them all into the refrigerator later, the stranger bought just the right amount each time, and now Yu Xiaomin lives alone again, so she could just eat them all in a week.

While eating the pudding inside, Yu Xiaomin began to ask the acquaintances around him again—maybe it was another former suitor?However, until today she still got nothing, and her friends also told her with a smile that this is a bargain.

Yu Xiaomin now even thinks that the app may have made a mistake, but the items delivered every time seem to be carefully prepared, so this excuse is not enough to convince her, and she still can't easily rest assured.

Of course, there is another possibility.

Yu Xiaomin scooped up the pudding, leaned there, and looked at the refrigerator in the kitchen.

Since Jiang Lingyu went to college, she hasn't filled up the refrigerator like before for a long time.Because she doesn't think it's necessary, and often just order takeaway.Besides, she is not in the mood to cook with her own hands now.

Yu Xiaomin took out her mobile phone and swiped through the circle of friends on WeChat. A friend shared an article posted by Huanjiang's local official account. Many new stores have opened during this period, and Yu Xiaomin naturally knows about it.These new stores squeezed the already declining business of Xiao Min's cafeteria, which made Yu Xiaomin have no appetite to eat at all during this time.

Who would know her mood at this moment?

Yu Xiaomin still habitually did not tell anyone about it.Unless there is such a guy with great powers, even if he is not by her side, he can easily know her emotions, and give such a thoughtful gift as if he understands——

How can there be such a good thing in this world.

Yu Xiaomin laughed, she shook her head, throwing away all unrealistic fantasies.She stood up and brushed her ponytail neatly. The day is still long, and Yu Xiaomin still has a lot to do.

She has been busy in the breakfast shop until it closes in the morning, and then hurried out to the wholesale market to buy goods.When buying, those familiar shopkeepers quoted a price as usual, but Yu Xiaomin smiled embarrassedly and said that he would buy less in the future.

"Business is not good recently?"

"Well, kind of."

She was running around in one shop after another, and usually there were no employees to help her do this, but Yu Xiaomin had long been used to doing it by herself.She loaded the goods into the trunk, and when someone came to help her, she waved her hand and said with a smile that I could do it myself.

Even though her shoulders were so sore and she was sweating constantly under the scorching sun, Yu Xiaomin was still Yu Xiaomin. The people next to her made fun of her, and she laughed loudly. windows.

"Hey, it's okay, we sister Min, we can always get through."

"Oh, yes."

So busy until the evening, Yu Xiaomin and Zhang Ling agreed on a time of 07:30.But she was driving back from the breakfast shop at that time, and there was a bit of a traffic jam when she came back, and it was already [-]:[-].

There is no time to go home, so I can only rush directly to the restaurant.Yu Xiaomin looked at herself in the rearview mirror. She was unkempt and hadn't changed her clothes, so she had to take out her makeup bag in the car and start to put on makeup.

The road conditions are not good, and the air conditioner in Yu Xiaomin's second-hand car is not working well. Now the car is as stuffy as a steam oven. The sweat keeps dripping down, and the make-up is also annoying.

Halfway through the makeup, Yu Xiaomin didn't really want to put it on anymore, so she simply took off her makeup, and looked blankly at 07:30, suddenly she didn't understand what she was doing.

From the very beginning - at the very beginning, Yu Xiaomin seemed to be on the dial of life.The second hand is behind Xiao Min's heels, and every second that passes, she must also move forward by one second.Otherwise, otherwise—brothers and sisters will have nothing to eat, daughters will cry, and parents’ shops will collapse.

What about now?

The second hand suddenly stopped moving.The younger brothers and sisters have their own lives, and the daughter has grown up and left. In the small city of Huanjiang, if you only need to support your parents, it seems that you don't have to work so hard.

There was nothing urging Yu Xiaomin to move forward.But she still walked, step by step, second by second, without stopping.But she didn't know what the meaning of her going forward was.

When she came to her senses, Yu Xiaomin was already sitting in front of Zhang Ling.Zhang Ling frowned, and stammered:

"If you want to be late—you should tell me earlier, I have a very, very full schedule. In the future, if we get married, you have to—you have to tell me in advance."

He waited anxiously, so he stuttered even more.He asked Yu Xiaomin why he was late, and it was the store's business that Yu Xiaomin returned.Hearing this, Zhang Ling frowned even more:

"A-It's the store again. You have to be busy for a long time every time because of the things in the store."

He let out a breath, as if he wanted to let out all the depression he had experienced during this period.Then he made up his mind, and said:

"I think, I—we can also enter the next relationship. I have called and inquired, and your store has not been doing very well recently, so I can introduce it—to a friend of mine, and let him Acquisition. This way, you can get rid of this, this mess, and we can still get some money."

Zhang Ling said this triumphantly, as if the matter had already been settled.Yu Xiaomin looked at him for a long time without speaking. The sweat she had just sweated seemed to have completely dried up at this moment, and her heart was completely cold.

She felt inexplicably hopeless, and everything around her made her despair.But she is still Yu Xiaomin.She wiped her mouth, but the steak in front of her didn't move at all.She whispered that there was no need, but Zhang Ling continued to say:

"Price—the price will definitely satisfy you, after all, your dilapidated store has been around for decades—and the location is good—"

"I mean, between us, there is no need."

This was the first truth that Yu Xiaomin uttered in front of Zhang Ling.This was not said by that Yu Xiaomin, but by the real Yu Xiaomin.

She said it seriously, word for word.Then she tore off her napkin and got up to leave—the high heels made it impossible for her to leave anytime soon, so she simply took them off, held them in her hand, and walked to the door in full view.

She looked as if she had won a battle and returned home, but only she knew in her heart that she was actually running away in a panic.

Yu Xiaomin got into the car, stepped on the accelerator with bare feet, and rushed into the night.She didn't know where she was going, and this kind of confused rampage gave her some familiar feelings.Deja vu, she also seemed to be taken out by someone one night—escaping from everything.

Without purpose, without thought, without regard for any consequences.Just let yourself be led by another person and go to a place of freedom.

No one is urging her anymore, Yu Xiaomin can go anywhere, but she feels like she has broken into a maze.It was uncertain where to go, and it was dark and chaotic, so she had to turn back and dive into the familiar scene.

She stumbled into the street of the breakfast shop anyway.She stopped on the side of the road, turned off the engine, and the broken air conditioner blew out some wind. Yu Xiaomin simply turned off the air conditioner, but opened the window.

Think about it was a year ago.

Yu Xiaomin leaned there, watching the time slip into June, and the new summer was just around the corner.So what about last summer?She took out her phone with one hand, swiped down and down, and finally came to a certain time last summer, at 21:53, the last message was from Fang Ranran: "You".

What did she say?Yu Xiaomin doesn't remember at all now.She pinched her sore nose, and clicked on the profile picture - Master Fang used a cat profile picture, a British shorthair cat, gray, always with a reluctant face.

Her fingers were trembling a bit, so she ordered several times without success.Finally succeeded, she saw a series of messages sent by herself:

Mr. Fang, little follower

I woke up, where have you been?

Oh, I saw the sticky note, why did I suddenly feel like going out for a walk

If you are still outside, can you

Could you bring me another dozen beers?

I promise, just drink two cans

Also, remember to wake me up when you go out in the future, it is dangerous to be outside alone

to be chilled

Ten minutes later, Fang Ranran replied:

"You."

Yu Xiaomin was lying on the steering wheel, tears sticking to her eyelashes.Something fell on the tip of her heart, and she slipped in along the gradually opening gap.

It was a summer breeze, accompanied by the singing of cicadas, the window was half open, she was lying on the bed, drowsy.The door opened gently, with light footsteps, two dozen beers were carefully placed on the table, and someone turned off the TV and came to her again.

The man spoke in a low voice, helplessly and kindly.

she says.

You, you.
