My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

That night.

Shen Yi developed a high fever.

The lights in the Shen family villa were on late at night. The family doctor was called in and given injections and medicine, but he still refused to cooperate.

Shen Yi was feverish and unconscious, his eyes were tightly closed, tears kept oozing out, and he kept murmuring: "Momo! Momo!"

Mother Shen's face was tired and haggard, but her eyes were fixed on her son's red face.

Her tears flowed uncontrollably, first silently, and then she couldn't suppress her sobs. Seeing her son like this, she was filled with regret.

Throughout the night, Shen Yi had a high fever several times. When it was just dawn, Shen Lan asked Shen's mother and father to go to bed first, and she stayed to take care of him.

Shen Yi woke up at seven in the morning. Shen Lan asked him if he wanted to drink water, but Shen Yi did not answer.

His eyes were dull, and after a long moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Last night, I dreamt of our breakup again! She cried and told me that Zhao Zhizhi was just her friend. I was jealous. I said I didn't believe her, but in my heart I still said I had to give Momo a chance."

"When she came to see me again, I was so happy that it was like fireworks were set off. But she asked me to borrow money right away. She said something happened at home and if she didn't have the money, her mother would marry her off to someone else."

"I never thought it was Mom who was behind this. I told her to get out! I actually told Momo to get out..."

At this point, Shen Yi's voice choked again. He raised his hand and placed his arm over his eyes, not wanting anyone to see his worthless tears at the moment.

"She must hate me! For treating her like that when she needed me the most."

Shen Lan took a deep breath and comforted him, "Ayi, whether you believe it or not, Mom really regretted it later! She didn't expect that the girl's family was in such a situation, and that they could force their daughter to marry because of money."

Shen Yi suddenly sat up from the bed when he heard this, and said with hatred in his eyes: "If she regrets it, why didn't she help Momo?"

Shen Lan sighed and said, "You were almost dying at the time, so how could she have the time to care about others? I only found out about it later, but it was too late by then. The matter was resolved, so I didn't bother her anymore."

Shen Yi snorted: "What you say is better than what you sing."

He threw back the quilt and got out of bed. Shen Lan hurriedly stopped him: "You're not well yet, where are you going?"

Shen Yi went to the cloakroom to change his clothes and came out: "I want to break off the engagement and pursue Momo! If any of you dare to stop me, I don't mind you removing my name from the family tree."

Shen Lan was shocked: "Shen Yi!"

Shen Yi ignored the shouting behind him and drove all the way back to Hangzhou.

……

As soon as Shen Yi arrived in Hangzhou, he fell ill with a high fever again.

He forced himself to go to the hospital to get an IV drip, and then went straight home to rest. He knew very well that if he wanted to win Momo back, the most urgent thing was to get his body back in shape, and he was also afraid that he would accidentally infect Momo with the disease.

After resting at home for two days, I finally felt a little more energetic. I took a shower and went to the cloakroom to tidy up.

Momo used to like him wearing a white shirt and black trousers, especially when he rolled up the sleeves of the white shirt. Today he wore this outfit to meet her.

After packing up, Shen Yi drove to the cake shop where she worked part-time. He parked the car on the side of the road and looked out the window.

The street scene is filled with Christmas atmosphere. From a distance, the cake shop where Momo works part-time is decorated with colorful mood lights along the glass exterior wall.

The Christmas tree at the entrance of the store is also hung with gold and silver ornaments, and next to it is a billboard advertising the store's Christmas activities.

Shen Yi looked through the small area of ​​transparent glass, trying to catch the figure he wanted to see.

I was struggling in the car for a long time, my palms were full of sweat, and the steering wheel was wet. It was not until I saw Momo's colleagues changed their clothes and came out that I suddenly realized that it was time to get off work!

He pushed the door open and got out of the car, then hesitated outside the store for a long time before he mustered up the courage to open the door and go in.

All the colleagues had left work first, and today Qin Momo was in charge of closing the store. After she was ready and was about to turn off the lights, she heard the sound of the "Welcome" greeter at the door.

Qin Momo turned her head to look at the door, and was stunned for a moment. After reacting, she shouted "Welcome!" out of professional habit.

Shen Yi stood there awkwardly, neither moving nor speaking.

Qin Momo looked at him with some confusion, then glanced behind him. There was no one there. Did he come here alone today?

She raised a professional smile: "Mr. Shen, what would you like to buy?"

Shen Yi quickly reacted and coughed awkwardly: "Are you going to get off work?"

Qin Momo walked out from behind the cashier: "It's almost there! It's okay, it won't take much time."

"Okay, then I'll choose something." Shen Yi didn't know what to say, so he just replied mechanically. He didn't even dare to look at her now.

"However, we don't have the little cake your girlfriend likes in our store today! If you want to buy that, you have to come early. We make it fresh on the same day."

Shen Yi only heard her pleasant voice and didn't hear the word "girlfriend" she said at all.

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Qin Momo usually didn't "rip off the familiar", but when she thought about the Christmas tasks her boss had given them, she thought, why not sell him some cookies? After all, he had money, and his girlfriend would definitely like them too.

"We have these little Christmas cookies, with new flavors. They're delicious. Most women like them, and they can be eaten during weight management. We use xylitol instead of sweetness."

Shen Yi nodded: "Then let's have a little of each style and each flavor!"

"Okay! I'll install it for you. Anything else?"

When Qin Momo heard that she wanted every style and every flavor, she immediately became excited and her eyes became bright!

If he buys more, he'll get a higher commission! He might even get a bonus.

Shen Yi looked at her obviously happy expression, and when he thought of the billboard outside, he immediately understood the reason.

"I suddenly remembered that we haven't purchased any company Christmas gifts yet. I think these cookies are great. What do you think?"

Qin Momo just heard him say it suddenly and thought he said he didn't want it anymore, but she didn't expect that he wanted more.

"Of course, this design is also very beautiful. When your employees take it home, it will be a good choice for their loved ones or children."

"Okay, I'll take all of these in the store!"

Qin Momo: “…”

In the end, Qin Momo packed more than a dozen large bags of cookies, which she had prepared in advance for Christmas. Unexpectedly, she sold them all in just one night!

When paying the bill, Shen Yi rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, but Qin Momo never even glanced at him from beginning to end.

No, not even half an eye.

She stood at the cashier counter, her head down, tapping away at the calculator.

I feel a little depressed!

After paying the bill, Qin Momo said, "Mr. Shen, let me help you get it to your car! Where did you park it?"

Shen Yi pointed outside the store: "It's on the roadside, please close the store first!"

"it is good."

Qin Momo closed the store, and the two of them put more than ten bags of biscuits into the car.

"Okay! Mr. Shen, please drive slowly and be careful on the road."

"Let me take you home! It's too late! I guess there are no cars left!"

Qin Momo checked her phone and realized that she had wasted time packing the biscuits, and the last bus had indeed left!

But she didn't want to trouble Shen Yi and ask him to drive her home. Since he was her ex-boyfriend, he already had a fiancée. It would be better not to do things that could easily cause misunderstandings!

"No need! There are shared bikes."

Shen Yi frowned: "It's not safe for you, a girl, to be out this late."

Qin Momo laughed at herself and said, "It's okay. Who would be so blind as to rob a fat guy like me?"

Shen Yi: "..."

Qin Momo regretted it right after she said it! She said it as if she was complaining about him calling her fat last time.
