Disgusted

Qingkong feels that the bookstore has become more popular recently.

This is of course an illusion.If you check the sales table carefully, you will find that the sales volume of the book has not changed much, at most there are more regular customers.

Qing Kong raised his head and glanced at the slender figure sitting in the reading area.

It is said to be a reading area, but it is actually just two low leather stools against the wall and a small wooden table.The bookstore is not big, the space of 45 square meters is crowded with bookshelves. Fortunately, there is also a small attic, which is used to store the old editions and rare books that no one cares about, as well as the second-hand books left by the previous owner.A small window was opened in the store facing south, and the light was good, so Qingkong set up tables and stools, thinking that he could sit there and concentrate on reading when there was no one around, but the little girl recently took over all of them.

She said her name was Zhang Tianyu and her nickname was Xiaoyu.

After the morning when I bought a reference book worth 36.8 yuan, Xiaoyu wandered around the Qingkong store from time to time, sometimes during lunch breaks, mostly after school after five o’clock, and occasionally bought a novel, movie magazine, and more It is talking to Qing Kong or sitting in the reading area and reading quietly.

Since he's a guest, and he doesn't behave too much, he can't be kicked out.Thinking of this, Qing Kong let her come and go, and got used to her presence after two months.

It's been two months.Aozora's index finger tapped on the wooden counter.Saori hadn't contacted her once during this period of time.Sometimes she also asked herself, would she care so much if Saori hadn't waited at the door with her wounds like this, but had lost contact silently like cutting a telephone line with sharp scissors?

Probably not, Qing Kong thought.

The so-called bed partner is to a certain extent located under the real world, abandoning normal human relationships and sophistication, and is more related to simple desires.Based on this premise, when ordinary bed partners no longer see each other for various reasons, then just put away your emotional desires and put them in the drawer that belongs to the past.But no, the caller screamed before the line was disconnected - and then disappeared, leaving only a note saying "please don't look for me".

Qingkong tried to make a call to Saori, but the phone was always turned off. I asked the team leader, but there was no clue. I only got the general information that Saori participated in the hiking activities of the forum about half a year earlier than Qingkong, which seemed to be working in a government agency. One is that she is 31 years old and has a husband who is two years older than her.

It was probably at this time that Aozora became really worried about Saori.Could it be that the husband found out about them and hurt her?I can't help but speculate like this in my heart, and whenever I think of Saori's calm face, the bruise like the shocking blue ink in the middle of a white shirt, Qingkong feels a blunt twist in his heart. .She didn't like this feeling very much, like a drowned person walking into the sea again, the instinctive fear of the water slowly rolling up.

"Would you like to come to my house for dinner?" Xiao Yu walked over at some point, obviously asking "Do you want to come to my house tonight?", but with a pure and frank smile.

"..." Qingkong looked at her silently.Xiaoyu was wearing a dark purple cardigan coat, with slim-fit jeans underneath, and the trousers were tucked into black boots, looking well-proportioned and lovely.As she said before, she looks much better without the school uniform.

"It's very cold today, it will be much warmer if two people eat together." She paused, then laughed again, "Eating with someone you like will also improve your appetite."

"At your age, can you really tell whether you like it or not?" Qingkong rubbed his eyebrows in distress.This kid really persevered in confessing his love every three days.

"Of course!" Xiao Yu's eyes widened slightly, as if she had encountered some unreasonable wrong. "Isn't that as clear as a black sheep? It's the only black sheep in a flock of white sheep! It can be easily identified from a distance of one kilometer!"

"Then, can you tell me about the black sheep? Since you said you can recognize it at a glance."

"Hmm... how should I put it?" Xiaoyu stretched the sleeves of the coat longer, and retracted her hands into fists, then rested her arms on the counter. "It's probably like Columbus." She bit her lower lip for a few seconds before saying something.

"Columbus?"

"The captain who discovered the New World. Wearing a hat with both ends upturned, he used a monocular to look at the edge of the sea and the sky day after day. He was surrounded by the first mate, helmsman, and sailors, but he felt extremely lonely all the time. Columbus was disappointed again and again, and got nothing. Until one day, a sharp headland appeared in the telescope. It was like a black curtain that was pulled open and the sun was shining in. It was an ecstatic feeling that could not be missed!" Xiaoyu said, He fixed his eyes on Aozora with excited eyes as if he was looking at a new land.

"So, am I the American continent?" Aozora laughed amusedly, this was the first time he heard such an argument.

"It's just a metaphor. The green stewardess is the blue stewardess. She is someone you can't miss at a glance, so I..." Xiao Yu said as she leaned her upper body over. At this time, the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold air gushed out Entering, the two turned their heads together, and Xiao Yu couldn't hold back the original half of the words: "I like...you."

"No way." The visitor brushed his long hair that was blown by the wind, and continued the conversation calmly. "This person is already booked."

"... Saori?" Qing Kong shivered from the wind, and it turned out that the person who came was someone who had disappeared for more than two months.

"Qingkong." Saori smiled, with her hands wrapped in the beige windbreaker, she stepped forward.Qingkong suddenly felt strange tension and timidity, felt the skin on the back was hot and hot, and at the same time seemed to see herself in her pupils slowly enlarging, enlarging, and finally approaching unapproachable, soft lips The petals burned at the corner of his mouth, and then moved to his ears.

"Long time no see." Saori said, looking tired but cheerful.
