My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Time seemed to be frozen, and Shen Yi stood there for a long time. He hated himself for saying such words on the day they met again.

Seeing him standing there with his lips tightly closed and without saying a word, Qin Momo's eyes gradually dimmed, her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, her body stiff and cramped, and she was left at a loss.

"Boss Shen, I'll go back first!"

"Momo!"

Shen Yi called her and said, "I'm sorry for calling you fat... I really..."

He tried to form the right words, but the words were swallowed back at his lips, leaving him feeling confused and helpless.

In the end, I really didn't know what to say. I remembered what Li Yuxuan taught Zhou Qizhen: just say what women like to hear, and it will definitely be right.

"Anyway, I think you're quite cute like this. It's good to be a little fatter. You were too thin before!"

Qin Momo: “…”

"Let me take you home! It's on our way here, so I can make amends for my unreasonable behavior last time, okay?"

Both of them were secretly blaming themselves for the word "fat". Shen Yi talked for a long time and finally persuaded Qin Momo.

Qin Momo did not sit in the passenger seat, but opened the rear door and sat in the back seat.

Shen Yi was already very happy that he could send her home, so he didn't care about those small details.

After starting the car and turning on the air conditioner, he was only wearing a white shirt, and his fingers were already stiff from the cold after standing outside for a while.

"Momo! Where do you live now?"

Shen Yi asked naturally, completely forgetting that he had just mentioned that it was on his way.

……

Since the last time he bought cookies, Shen Yi went to the cake shop almost every day, but he was alone and his beautiful fiancée never showed up again.

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Qin Momo got up early in the morning and went to her part-time job. She took the bus twice and then pulled the badminton racket that needed to be strung by hand to the rental house on a small cart.

I had originally thought of working part-time in a restaurant during the Spring Festival, but I never expected that Chenxin Sporting Goods Store received a large order before the Spring Festival. A customer ordered hundreds of badminton rackets.

The finished product needs to be ready after the New Year, and time is too tight. All the store clerks who know how to wear the longitude and latitude threads have gone home for the New Year. Only Qin Momo knows how to wear them, otherwise such a good thing would not have happened to her.

I make ten yuan commission for stringing badminton rackets, which is much more than what I can earn from working part-time during the Spring Festival. Moreover, I don’t have to go out, it’s very convenient to stay at home.

Qin Momo had only eaten one steamed bun in the morning. When she was pulling the second cart and moving it upstairs, her hands were shaking from exhaustion as soon as she reached the second floor.

I looked up and saw that there were still three floors to go, and sighed inwardly. Should we move separately?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard someone coming up the stairs behind her. She quickly pulled the box to the side, fearing that it would block her neighbor from going upstairs.

"Moving upstairs?"

Qin Momo raised her eyes to look at the person who was speaking, and was stunned. She never thought that she would see Shen Yi at this time and place.

Without waiting for Qin Momo to speak, Shen Yi bent down, picked up the box and walked upstairs.

Qin Momo hurriedly chased after him and tried to stop him: "Boss Shen, let me carry it myself! Don't get your clothes dirty."

"fine."

Shen Yi helped her move the box to the door in one breath, and did not put it down. He signaled her to open the door with his eyes. Qin Momo quickly took out the key.

After putting the box together with another box in the living room, Shen Yi stood up and glanced at the living room.

Qin Momo took a bottle of mineral water from the kitchen and gave it to him. This was prepared by Zhao Jia for Mr. Zhou who might be over at any time.

"Mr. Shen, please have some water! Thank you for helping me carry it up."

Shen Yi took the mineral water, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip. The water Momo gave him was so sweet!

"It's okay, it's just a matter of convenience. I live across the street from you."

Qin Momo was shocked: "You are the new neighbor who moved in across from me?"

Shen Yi nodded and said "hmm", then turned his head away with a guilty look.

"Why did you move to our neighborhood?"

"I travel a lot for business, and it's very convenient to get to the airport elevated road here. I don't want to stay in a hotel, so I saw a house for sale and bought one. I didn't expect that we would become neighbors!"

Qin Momo was stunned when she heard this. "Buying a house because of a plane?" She didn't know how to respond, and was filled with confusion.

"What are you doing with these?" Shen Yi asked, pointing at the badminton racket on the ground.

Qin Momo opened a cardboard box with scissors: "A customer in the store ordered it. They need it after the Chinese New Year. It's just the right time for me to take it home and make it."

Shen Yi helped her take it out: "You're not going home for the New Year? Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month! I think your colleagues have all gone home!"

Qin Momo paused for a moment as she reached out to grab the racket. Then, with a natural expression, she said, "Well, I won't reply. I'll take advantage of the holiday these few days to string these strings."

"Then let me help you put it on! You have to provide me with a New Year's Eve dinner." Shen Yi said in a flattering manner.

Qin Momo looked at him strangely and asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going home for the New Year?"

Shen Yi said calmly, "Well, I broke off the engagement! I had a falling out with my family!"

Qin Momo: “…”

Seeing that his expression was serious and he didn't seem to be joking, he kindly said, "Why did you cancel the engagement? I think you and Miss Cao are quite a good match."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi raised his eyes and stared at her, his face looking a little sour.

Qin Momo suddenly realized that she was really stupid! Who was she to care about other people's affairs?

She hurriedly explained, whispering, "I...I just wanted to say that the lady is very nice, and you are very nice too."

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "I think you are pretty good too."

"Ah?" Qin Momo looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant.

But Shen Yi didn't say anything else, turned around and left!

Qin Momo thought that she had "offended" Shen Yi yesterday, and even if they met again, they might not even need to say hello!

But he never expected that he would come back the next morning, carrying two large supermarket bags.

After entering, he went straight to the kitchen and said confidently: "You cook the New Year's Eve dinner! I don't know how."

Qin Momo glanced at the vegetables he bought, then at the few tennis rackets in the living room that hadn't been worn yet. She pointed at the two boxes and said, "Why don't you go out and eat? I don't have much time, and I need the rackets urgently."

"Didn't we agree yesterday that I'd help you with the work and you'd treat me to a New Year's Eve dinner? You're going back on your word so quickly. Besides, you have to eat too!"

Qin Momo's cheeks flushed a little when he said that. She said a little embarrassedly, "I didn't agree! You said it yourself, and you bought so many vegetables, it will probably take two or three hours to cook."

"I bought it, I can't just throw it away! How about this, you cook and I'll help you string this racket." This way I can spend more time with Momo, it really kills two birds with one stone.

"You will not."

"I can learn."

In the end, Qin Momo cooked and Shen Yi worked. After they finished their meal, Shen Yi refused to leave, saying that it was okay to go home. He watched the Spring Festival Gala while helping Momo with her work.

After the New Year's Eve celebration, Shen Yi jokingly asked, "I've done so much for you? How are you going to thank me?"

Qin Momo thought for a while after hearing this, then turned around and went back to the room.

Just when Shen Yi was setting off pink fireworks for himself in his heart, he saw Qin Momo returning to the living room from the room with two hundred yuan in her hand.

"What I'm wearing today only costs 500 yuan. You can't get dressed as fast as I do. How about 200 yuan?"

Shen Yi: "..."

When Shen Yi left, he slammed the door with a loud bang. Qin Momo was so scared that she stood there for a long time.

Is this too little?
