Pretend to be straight

"What?" I thought I heard it wrong, I pointed to myself, "I... a scumbag?"

"Ah."

I was too confused: "How could I be?"

Shi Jinghe pondered for a few seconds before answering me: "I don't reply when I send a message, and turn off the phone when I make a call." She paused, and then continued, "Scumbags usually do this, oh no, so do scumbags, or... lose their temper people?"

I:"……"

Now that the situation is critical, I immediately find an excuse for myself.

I pretended not to know the truth: "Ah? Really? I'm watching TV, I don't know the phone is turned off." I added, "The phone may be out of battery."

I don't know if my acting skills are natural enough, anyway, I am really serious about acting.

Shi Jinghe squinted his eyes, and dimples hung on the corners of his lips: "But didn't I say last night that I'll see you tomorrow?"

I was stunned on the spot, thinking about it carefully, Shi Jinghe seemed to have really said this sentence last night.

"In the end, you lost contact due to a surprise." Shi Jinghe sighed while closing his long eyelashes.

She looked a little aggrieved by this appearance, as if... I was sorry for her.

But...it seems to be the case?In this case, my shutdown was indeed misbehavior.

I lowered my head slightly and said, "Sorry."

Shi Jinghe also looked up at me, and smiled again: "Okay, stop talking, just turn the page." She said, "Let's just believe that your phone is really out of battery."

There was a kind of illusion of "a smile to wipe away all grievances and enmity", and I was dazzled by her smile.

Hey, she is so beautiful, I have sent out such emotion countless times in my heart.

"Almost forgot about business."

"I brought the sugar."

Shi Jinghe picked up the basket in her own hand, raised her chin and motioned for me to take it: "It's still the same one from last time."

Her expression and her words made me blame myself and feel guilty because I lied to her-I don't have a broken-hearted friend now.

And if I hadn't turned it off, she wouldn't have made this trip.

Although it's not raining anymore, the temperature in Yuncheng has gradually started to cool down, and I can feel the chill even standing at the door.

Thinking of this, I realized again that Shi Jinghe hadn't been let in until now.

She communicated with me outside the door all the time.

I took the basket and apologized to her again: "I almost forgot, would you like to come in and have a seat?"

Shi Jinghe seemed a little hesitant: "Is your... friend who lost love there?"

I was stunned again, but thinking about it, I am not in love, so why am I broken in love?

The message I sent her was nothing more than an excuse, and I didn't expect her to take it seriously.

I thought about countermeasures very quickly again, and finally nodded: "She is here." I said, "It's okay, she is very nice."

After saying this, Shi Jinghe waved his hands: "Then I won't go in, I'm leaving."

"Why?" I said. "It didn't bother us."

"I have to go back to work."

When she said that, I couldn't help feeling sorry again.

I should have thought earlier, Shi Jinghe just came back from Liucheng, and Pei Keran went to the ramen shop, so Shi Jinghe would be even busier.

I should have thought of it earlier, she must have been working and didn't reply me in time, but I still chose to turn off the phone because of my temper.

I should have thought earlier, too, that I'm such a bad person that I'm only a nuisance to other people.

I lowered my head a little more, but before I said "sorry", Shi Jinghe acted as if she knew what I was going to say, and she spoke first: "If you say sorry again, I won't see you in the future."

"..." How cruel.

Maybe it was because I stayed at the door for too long, Xie Ying couldn't help but come out of the kitchen.

When she came over, she asked, "Zhizhi, who is it?"

I turned around and looked at her, Xie Ying didn't look at me, she looked at Shi Jinghe, very surprised: "Damn, I saw a living person." She came over and stood beside me, "Sister Shi, you Well, I'm your fan."

Shi Jinghe showed a polite and friendly smile, I know, she started to switch to her "Internet celebrity" status again.

Xie Ying was very enthusiastic: "Come in and sit down? I just happened to be cooking."

Shi Jinghe shook his head and said, "No, thank you, I just came to deliver something to Zhizhi, and I'll leave later."

"Okay, then don't force it."

I followed along and said, "Be careful when you go back."

"See you."

Shi Jinghe got into the elevator and left, I let out a sigh of relief and closed the door.

Xie Ying stood aside, with a little scrutiny in her eyes, I asked, "What's wrong?"

"Zhizhi, I didn't realize that you are very good at it."

Xie Ying was obviously crying and sad before, but now she is a different person.

I didn't understand what she meant: "What will I do?"

"You don't like candy, and you still ask others to bring it over."

"..."

When she said this, I felt even more guilty, and my mood was also affected. I sat down on the sofa and fell down.

Xie Ying patted me on the shoulder: "Come on, Zhizhi, you can catch up."

Xie Ying went to the kitchen again, and I stared at the TV blankly.

After a few seconds, I remembered my phone and immediately went to the bedroom to turn it on.

Turn on the phone, unlock it, and open WeChat.

Shi Jinghe sent me several messages at different times.

[Is it still that friend? 】

[Answer the phone. 】

[Okay, then I'll send it to you. 】

There is also the latest one: [Your friend's eyes are so swollen from crying, has he really met a scumbag? 】

have to.

She didn't misunderstand that I was broken in love this time, but she misunderstood Xie Ying's broken love.

Fortunately, Xie Ying didn't have too much contact with her, otherwise she would definitely be in trouble.

Because it was such a coincidence... Xie Ying cried until her eyes hurt because of her family affairs.

If you don't know the actual situation, you may really think it's a woman who has lost love, right?What's more, I still have a premise to buy lovelorn candy, and there is also the "convicted record" when Meng Yisheng came to my place last time.

It's also fortunate that Shi Jinghe didn't see Meng Yisheng's face last time, otherwise, if the face doesn't match up, then I'll be screwed too.

If you tell a lie, you must use more lies to cover it up. This sentence is really true.

Especially now that I feel more deeply, I am really afraid that Shi Jinghe will find out my purpose of approaching her one day.

Or... the original purpose.

Because now I have signs of turning a half-way. I don't mean falling in love with Shi Jinghe, but the fact that I have a crush on her.

I'm a little restless now, thinking about how Shi Jinghe will react if she finds out that I'm approaching her for money.

I dare not think about this result at all, otherwise I will not be able to sleep at night.

I stared at the message she sent me, and replied: [Yes, I met a scumbag. 】

In fact, I didn't lie, Xie Ying shed tears for Li Zi before.

Li Zi... is considered a scumbag to me.

I exhaled and turned my head to see three pennants hanging by the bay window, two of which were gifts from customers.

If Shi Jinghe entered my bedroom one day, the pennant would definitely be seen.

Thinking of this, I broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Shi Jinghe didn't come into my bedroom when he came to my house last time.

Otherwise how should I explain?

I woke up immediately, got up and put away the two pennants that looked like land/mines, leaving only the one that wished me a happy birthday.

Xie Ying called me at this time: "Zhizhi, I'm out for dinner."

"it is good."

The next day was Friday, Xie Ying went out in the morning, and she started working again from today.

I don't know how much her savings are, but under the pressure of her parents, there must not be much left.

So she said last night that she planned to take orders seamlessly, and start the next one immediately after one task was completed, without giving herself any extra rest time.

Yesterday was November [-]st, so she had the right to give herself a day off this month, and there was nothing else.

She throws herself into the work, and me?As her "colleague", I struggled for a long time, only staring at the customers who sent me messages on my WeChat.

Shi Jinghe is also working, I sent her a message in the morning, she said that she will be a little busy today, and there are a lot of bills waiting for her to deal with in the store, and said that if I have time, I can go there at night." Selling Love" to find her.

I:……

I actually want to go, Shi Jinghe looks very charming when he is working.

But I changed my mind, if I went, if it affected her, then I'd better forget it.

Letting her take time out of her busy schedule to deliver candy to me yesterday was enough to make me want to dig deep into the ground.

But I am not the only one who is idle, there is also Cheng Siyi who I haven't seen for several days.

Including this time, she came to my house three times in total, and Xie Ying was not there for two of them.

When I saw her through the cat's eyes, I sighed twice before opening the door for her, and immediately put on a smile.

As soon as Cheng Si saw me tilt her head, she had a ball pierced her head today, and she looked younger.

The dimples on her cheeks appeared again, and she raised the tablet in her hand: "Zhizhi, are you busy now? I have some questions about traveling later this month and I want to ask you."

In fact, it's not a big problem, and she can send me a message on WeChat to ask, but I don't know what her intention is to come to my house.

Furthermore, I haven't planned any activities for our group to travel together. Ask me what suggestions I can give?

I was a little helpless, but I was very enthusiastic. I suddenly had the illusion that I was picking up the plane at the airport again.

How about I contact Brother God tomorrow?Ask if there are any navy orders you can pick up recently.

"Zhizhi, you've lost your mind." Cheng Siyi recalled my wandering thoughts.

She was very close to me, I saw her wronged eyes, and heard her say: "I thought you were listening carefully..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sockets of her eyes turned a little red, and the appearance of she was about to cry made me bow down.

It's no wonder that this acting skill has almost caught up with my two-year progress in half a year.

I said apologetically, "Sorry, I was thinking about something else."

Let her go earlier, I don't want to be alone with her.

How terrible is a woman's intuition. From the first time she came to my house and expressed inexplicable shyness to me, I felt that something was wrong with her.

It's always right to stay away.

Cheng Siyi shook his head, with a firm face: "It's okay, it's okay."

I thought about it for a while and said, "It seems that it's almost resolved, should it be all right? I have something to do later, and I might have to go out."

"Ah...?" Cheng Siyi's eyes widened, "I thought you wouldn't be able to work today, so I came here. I'm really sorry if I disturbed you."

She is really good at acting, people who don't know may think that I bullied her.

I smiled slightly: "I don't have a job, but I have someone I want to see."

I'd better go find Shi Jinghe, even if I can't talk to her at work, it's still more comfortable than being with Cheng Siyi.

Cheng Siyi finally left, I rubbed my face and went to the bedroom to change clothes.

When I went out, I thought about it and called Shi Jinghe.

What if she's not there?

Soon, the phone was connected, and Shi Jinghe's voice came from the other end.

"how?"

"do you miss me?"
