planted in her hands

The small supermarket is just 20 meters away, and the LED light board is hung diagonally, with the words "tobacco and alcohol" flashing in the dark night.

"Everyone has the freedom to eat candy." I stood beside Meng Qingyao, "I can eat candy, sister Qingyao, you can also eat candy. Eating candy has never been something only children can do."

Meng Qingyao squinted at me: "Taking medicine is a matter of course and should not be avoided."

I snorted softly.

There are usually some candies at the checkout counter of small supermarkets, such as chewing gum xylitol or Fuji lollipops. Now only the boss in the store is leisurely fighting landlords with his mobile phone. When he saw us coming in, he just said hello :"Casual look."

Meng Qingyao was standing in front of the cash register, she took a can of hard candy and asked me: "Strawberry flavored, do you want this?"

"can."

"Is there anything else to eat?"

I don't know what image I am in Meng Qingyao's eyes, but it is very likely that I am a foodie, otherwise she asked me about "eating" the most times.

"Fuerjia lollipop." I simply didn't want to be polite.

She frowned: "Okay."

"How many?"

"Two."

"Okay." She looked at the boss, "Check out, boss."

Scanning the QR code to check out, Meng Qingyao's movements were done in one go, and she gave me both canned hard candies and two lollipops: "Your voice is still a little hoarse, take your medicine and drink more water when you go back."

I squeezed the candy: "Got it."

After a few steps, she returned to the entrance of the community. Meng Qingyao lifted her long legs, stepped onto the little electric donkey and sat down. She held the helmet and brushed her hair with her fingers before putting on the black helmet. , she hasn't covered the lenses yet, her eyes and nose are still outside.

"Go back." She inserted the key into the little eDonkey, "Don't be reluctant tonight, keep your throat well, otherwise it will be like in the TV series, 'Baojuan, Baojuan, my voice'."

She can also hoarse her own voice for the last line and imitate it.

"...Got it." I repeated.

She turned her head to look at me, and there was a little helplessness in her beautiful eyes: "Will you be reluctant?"

I:"……"

Me: "Go back quickly."

"Okay, I'm going back." She raised her lower lip before covering her glasses, "Good night, Chi Du."

I nodded: "Good night."

When I got home, I was a little exhausted, and I was pinching my eyebrows on the balcony, when my mother just called.

I turned on the speakerphone: "Mom."

"Baby." My mother asked me, "Tomorrow Sunday, go home and have a meal. Your sister-in-law is back from a business trip."

"Okay, Mom."

"Why do you sound a little tired?" My mother asked, "Your voice is still a little hoarse, do you have a cold?"

"No, it's just that I choked on something just now." I was afraid she would ask again, "I'm going to take a shower later, Mom, is it six o'clock tomorrow afternoon? What time is it?"

"Six o'clock."

"it is good."

I didn't talk any more, hung up the phone, and I let out a long breath.

The medicine and sugar were placed on the small table in front of me. Maybe the light on the balcony was too soft. I blinked, took a group photo of them, and sent a message to Moments that everyone can see.

Soon, there were several comments.

Brother: [Tsk tsk tsk, you are such an adult, taking medicine and sugar. 】

Fang Suyue: [This strawberry flavored candy is delicious! ! ! 】

Yunyun: [Throat is uncomfortable, Xiaodu, drink more water. 】

……

After waiting for half an hour, I didn't see Meng Qingyao appearing in my comment section. I finished eating a strawberry candy in my mouth before going into the bathroom.

Since I had to go home the next day, I asked Fang Suyue to ask for leave after taking a shower.

In fact, it’s not asking for leave. I already have rest and vacation. There are five days in a month, and I can choose the time at will.

As soon as Fang Suyue received the news, she agreed with me and told me to be safe.

Me: [I will, boss. 】

Me: [See you the day after tomorrow. 】

I didn't ask for leave from Fang Suyue in the "We Three" group, but chatted privately with Fang Suyue Xiaochuang, so maybe Meng Qingyao won't know that I won't go to the store until tomorrow, or maybe Fang Suyue will tell her later, anyway They live together.

It doesn't matter whether it's my business, I just want to calm down now.

Meng Qingyao sprayed the breath around my ears in the afternoon.

The warmth from Meng Qingyao's hand the moment she grabbed my hand.

The strength with which Meng Qingyao patted my back when I was coughing.

This all messed up my mind a bit.

Jiang Linyan's phrase "If only she was a straight girl" played repeatedly in my ears.

Is Meng Qingyao a straight girl?

Although in front of Jiang Linyan at that time, I said domineeringly "she must not be straight", but in fact?

I didn't close all the windows in the bedroom, and left a gap. The wind slipped in in the dark night, but it disturbed the curtains. When the curtains fluttered, Meng Qingyao's face appeared in front of my eyes again.

It seems that there is still one thing to do, which is to know whether Meng Qingyao is a straight girl.

If yes, then I...

Then I don't know what to say.

After waking up, I tidied up and went back to the house in the city center. Just after waking up from a nap, Jiang Linyan knocked on the door. She brought a newly opened roasted sweet potato skin shop and brought me a crayfish stuffed Grilled sweet potato skin.

"Hurry up, A'Du." She instructed me, "Bring some ice cubes from the refrigerator."

She also bought Coke.

I took a box of ice cubes, watched her add more than half of the ice cubes to the glass, and watched her pour the Coke. And my fingerprints.

Jiang Linyan took a bite of the sweet potato skin: "Wow! It's delicious! I'm worth queuing up to buy it!"

"That's great." I also took a bite, "You can always pay so much for delicious food."

Jiang Linyan shook his head: "How can I compare with you, A'Du, I applied for a job as a shop assistant in order to chase people."

"……"really.

"I also said that I will go to your store to see you today, and pretend to be a customer I don't know." Jiang Linyan sighed, "It seems that we have to wait until next time."

"Ah."

"Are you going back tomorrow or tonight?"

"tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Jiang Linyan ate until there was some oil on the side of his mouth, "You said you disappeared for a day, and I don't know if that sister will miss you. If she misses you, then it proves that you are still useful here. Is it?"

I was stunned when I heard this.

"Do you think she will miss you?" Jiang Linyan pressed on.

I wiped my mouth: "How would I know, such a thing can't be asked directly, otherwise I would be exposed thoroughly, and I'm just an ordinary colleague. It would be strange and inexplicable to suddenly ask the other party if they think about me."

"I didn't ask you to ask." Jiang Linyan's eyes widened, "You were like a machine gun just now."

I raised my eyebrows: "Really?"

"Yeah, output in one meal."

Me: "OK."

Jiang Linyan hesitated for a moment: "Better than us, let's give up, A'Du, you are over there now, and you are far away from me. Sometimes I want to chat with you, but I can only send you WeChat. It's so boring."

"I haven't seen Yu Wenshan's panic-stricken appearance yet."

Jiang Linyan heard it: "Don't give up!!!"

"We must have the spirit of perseverance!!!"

"..." I grinned.

The portion of this grilled sweet potato skin is really too big, I was a little full after eating, Jiang Linyan was playing the game with my game controller, and I was lying on the sofa looking at my phone.

There is no new news in the "three of us" group.

There is no new news in the chat window with Meng Qingyao.

Some other WeChat friends came to ask me if I want to play together, but I don’t have time recently, and after rejecting them one by one, the message list became quiet again.

The time slowly reached four o'clock.

Meng Qingyao at this point...

I thought about the past few days, and she was actually not sleepy. At three or four in the afternoon, when there was no one in the store, she would lie on a recliner in the corner, covered with a thin blanket, with her eyes closed. , the usual coldness and smiles have all returned to calm, and nothing can be seen.

"A'Du." It was Jiang Linyan who brought me back to my thoughts, "What are you thinking? You're so mesmerized that you didn't hear me a few times."

I blinked: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just to show off that I just cleared the level." Jiang Linyan said after a pause, "Are you thinking about Sister Milk Tea?"

I said nothing.

Jiang Linyan smiled: "I don't know if she will like you, but I think if you go on like this, you are more likely to fall into her hands."

I threw her another pillow: "The crow's mouth is baa!!!"
