Relying on one's own hair

When passing by the fresh food area, Qiao Ran was attracted by the colorful and dazzling array of fruits, and swallowed involuntarily, but held back nothing.

Fruits are too expensive to be necessities of life. It is the same to eat more delicious tomatoes and carrots.

Moreover, his strawberry flowers have withered and produced several fruits, so now he has to hold back his cravings!

However, when he got to the cash register, Valentine was still empty-handed and took nothing.

Qiao Ran was a little strange and said, "Mr. Hall, don't you want to buy anything?"

"Who says I won't buy it."

Van Lundin casually took a small box with strawberries painted on it from the shelf next to the cashier entrance, and his back stiffened slightly after reading the words on it clearly.

WTF, he thought it was sugar, but it turned out to be...

Qiao Ran glanced at the small box in Valentine's hand. It looked delicious. This guy really likes sweets.If the price is right, he would also like to try it. If he can't afford fresh strawberries, it would be nice to buy a box of candy.

Just as he was about to go to the shelf to see how much money he had, Lundin grabbed him by the back of his neck with his other hand and lifted him to the cash register like a chicken, "Hurry up, stop dawdling."

Why are you in such a hurry, and you're not in a hurry.Qiao Ran complained in her heart, so she had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​buying candy, and took the things in the shopping cart to the self-service counter to check out.

Van Lundin put the small box into a pile of products as if nothing had happened, and after scanning the QR codes one by one, he quickly swiped his mobile phone to pay, the action was so fast that Qiao Ran didn't even realize it.

Although most of the things were bought for Valentine, Qiao Ran's shampoo, shower gel and toothpaste couldn't even add up to a fraction, and he couldn't let the other party pay for himself, so he said after coming out of the cash register: "I'll put my That part of the money will be transferred to you."

There is also a sheep doll, which Qiao Ran gave to Amao, and he should also pay the bill.

Maybe it was affected by some kind of influence. Originally, there were 93 points in total, but without thinking about it, he sent a red envelope of 99 points.

Van Lundin raised his eyebrows slightly, accepted it without saying a word, and then walked out of the supermarket with two oversized shopping bags.

Qiao Ran originally wanted to carry a bag by herself, but looking at her arm, she decided to forget it. If she couldn't lift it after a while, she would be laughed at by the sentinel.

On the way back, the lion kept lying on the back seat of the off-road vehicle to play with the sheep doll. He fiddled with it like this for a while, pulled it like that for a while, and then put it between his two front legs and rubbed his big head back and forth. He couldn't put it down. claw.

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing as he watched from the rearview mirror.

It was foolish for Valentine to glance away and look away wordlessly.

Back in the Rainbow Community, the two entered the elevator of the unit building with a group of people. The elevator door opened and closed several times while going up, and people kept coming out.When they reached the 15th floor, there were only the two of them left.

Well, almost there.

The elevator shook slightly and continued to go up. From the 17th floor to the 18th floor, there was a sudden rattling sound in the elevator shaft, the car shook, and then stopped.Immediately afterwards, the lights flickered twice and then went out, and the elevator was completely dark, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Qiao Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately became nervous, waving his arms to try to touch the elevator wall. This kind of black and white situation made him very insecure.

"You hit me."

After Fan Lundin finished speaking, he waited for a while before seeing Qiao Ran answering, only hearing his somewhat abnormal shortness of breath, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's so dark." Qiao Ran said trembling slightly, followed Valentine's voice and grabbed his arm, fingers very hard, like grabbing a life-saving straw.

If it is not necessary, Van Lundin does not like to have physical contact with others, and his first reaction is to throw Qiao Ran away.But he restrained himself in time, and only taunted: "Are you a three-year-old child, still afraid of the dark?"

Qiao Ran suddenly became angry. He was not simply afraid of the dark, but maybe a little elevator claustrophobic.

Besides, everyone has something to be afraid of. Some people are afraid of mice, some are afraid of cockroaches, and some are even afraid of the sound of water dripping from the faucet. There are all kinds of things.

Doesn't this guy have anything to fear?He doesn't believe it!

Qiao Ran was unconvinced: "It's not a question of whether it's dark or not, what if the elevator falls down?"

In the darkness, the deep and magnetic voice of the sentinel was close at hand, with some certainty and casualness: "You won't die if you fall, so what are you afraid of?"

How can I not die, this is the 19th floor!Just as Qiao Ran was about to question, a light suddenly lit up in the elevator. It turned out that it was Fan Lundin who turned on the lighting function on the phone.

The lion standing in front of the two of them also seemed to sense Qiao Ran's nervousness, and leaned over to rub his leg.

It feels better now.Qiao Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Van Lundin had put the shopping bag on the ground, and with his free hand pressed the alarm button on the elevator operating panel.

Then a human voice came from the loudspeaker on the top of the car: "Everyone, don't panic, let alone push in the elevator, be careful of a stampede accident. Just now there is a small fault in the circuit, and the management office is repairing it. Please wait a moment." .”

As long as the elevator doesn't fall down, just wait.

Qiao Ran is now a little glad that he is not taking the elevator alone tonight, otherwise it will be difficult.

The action of the management office was relatively quick, and the lighting was restored after 10 minutes, and the loudspeaker sounded again: "The circuit has been repaired, I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone just now, please rest assured, we promise not to be an example! "

You must do what you say, otherwise Qiao Ran will have to consider moving to a lower floor.

Immediately afterwards, the elevator restarted and continued upward, and soon reached the 19th floor.

After getting out of the elevator, Valentine looked down and said, "Can you let go?"

Qiao Ran lowered her head, only to realize that she had been holding on to the sentry's arm, her face felt hot, and she hurriedly let go.

He took his things out of the shopping bag, said good night, and quickly returned to his home.

There were too many embarrassments tonight!

……

The decoration of Lily's restaurant is ordinary, but the business is not bad. It is basically full of customers during dinner time, noisy and lively.

Qiao Ran and Thomas sat across from each other in a booth in the corner. The waiter delivered the menu, and Thomas handed it to him, and said boldly, "You can order whatever you want, you're welcome."

Qiao Ran said: "I've never been to this restaurant, you can order, I can eat anything."

Thomas just ordered a few dishes and ordered two beers.

Qiao Ran hadn't had much alcohol, and her capacity for alcohol was low, but the beer was low in alcohol content, so she should be fine if she drank a little.

Thomas entered Xinmei a year earlier than Qiao Ran. The two people were responsible for different clients and had different working hours, so they hadn't dealt with each other much before.After these two days of contact, Qiao Ran found that the other party was quite honest, with a bright personality, and the two of them got along quite well.

The two ate and drank, exchanged their work experience, and then complained about Buck, the snobby department manager, and the time passed without knowing it.

After running out of a beer, Qiao Ran went to the bathroom once.He was a little drunk, and when he came out, he met a waiter who was serving a plate, but luckily he didn't knock over the plate.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Thomas said seriously, "Joe, when did you get married and even have children, and you kept hiding them?"

Qiao Ran looked blank, "No, who said that."

Thomas pushed Qiao Ran's cell phone over on the table, and jokingly said, "A man called 'A Mao's father' sent you a message just now, aren't you A Mao's mother?"

Qiao Ran: "...Hello!"

Thomas laughed straight, "I know you are a man, and you can't have children. It's just a joke! But who is Amao?"

"Amao is the spiritual body of the neighbor next door." Qiao Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and looked down at the phone after speaking.

【Amao's father: I want supper. 】

Qiao Ran wondered to himself, he did not carelessly cook dinner today, and put all his heart into it. Fan Lundin basically finished eating, so why did he get hungry so quickly.

The author has something to say: Happy Monday!
