Pretend to be straight

The result of returning from playing for five days was that after returning home and taking a shower, I fell into a deep sleep.

I slept until past three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, during which time I hadn't woken up and had no nightmares.

After washing up I sat on the couch to rejuvenate, I had so much sleep that I had no energy at all.

Xie Ying was playing games at the side, she looked at me and asked, "Zhizhi, are you hungry?"

I nodded: "A little bit." I rubbed my belly, "But when Xiao Xu came over, he said he would bring me food."

"it is good."

After Xie Ying finished speaking, as if she remembered something, she looked at my face for a few seconds, her eyes were full of teasing: "Zhi Zhi, is that how you are in front of Shi Mei?"

I was silent: "..."

"It's too much."

I patted her calf in front of me: "I'm Gong."

"Fuck, just like yesterday, how dare you call yourself a gong? Where's your face?" Xie Ying's eyes widened, and I covered my face when I said that.

My voice ran out from between my fingers, and I asked her: "Did you act really...weak yesterday?"

Xie Ying's expression changed, she became serious, and shook her head: "No, it's good that you are like this. It's good that some grievances that can't be expressed in front of us can be released by sister Shi." She then said, "Zhi Zhi , Xiao Xu and I both agree that sometimes you stretch yourself too tightly, except... when you are in mourning, you are like a robot at other times."

She repeated: "Robot, do you understand?"

Why don't I understand it? I also understand it myself. I was the one who died indirectly before, a walking dead that persisted.

No matter who I see, I take out a mask. I no longer know what my real self looks like.

Until I met Shi Jinghe.

It was her, it was her that made me see myself again.

When Xiaoxu came, I felt that I was about to faint from hunger.

He put the rice on the coffee table for me, and then took apart the chopsticks and handed them to me, very diligently.

I took the chopsticks: "This classmate, what's the matter?"

Xiao Xu was sitting on the carpet, he dragged his chin with his hands, looked straight at me, and said with a smile, "What can I do?"

I pick up the food: "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

"Uh..." Xiao Xu looked a little hesitant.

I looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

"No." Xiao Xu shook his head, he took a deep breath, "I just want to ask, is your little sister Shi Jinghe?"

Xie Ying shrugged: "I didn't say my name."

I nodded without hesitation: "Yes, it's her." I bent my lips, "It's my little sister."

I bite the word "my" very hard, and the ending sound can't help but rise.

Xiao Xu touched his arm: "Huh... goose bumps came out."

I smiled and asked him, "So why are you asking this?"

"After I went back last night, I realized that she looked familiar. After thinking about it, I remembered that it was Shi Jinghe on Weibo."

Xie Ying said on the side: "Hey, it looks good, what kind of fairy cp is this."

"Hahaha, should Yingying consider finding a girlfriend too?"

"Follow the fate."

I was absorbed in eating and didn't participate in the topic anymore. After hearing Xiaoxu's question, I stopped.

Xiao Xu was a little puzzled: "Isn't it delicious? Don't you like the food here?"

"No." I shook my head.

Xiao Xu: "Huh?"

I pursed my lips and said, "Shi Jinghe is not my girlfriend." I paused, "Not yet."

I was answered by several seconds of silence.Then they both said in unison: "I thought you were already together."

Xie Ying finished speaking: "Xiao Xu, why are you learning how to speak from me?"

"Are you learning how to speak from me?"

I raised my head and looked at the ceiling: "Hey, it seems that there is still one last step left."

"Confession?" Xiao Xu rubbed his hands, and suggested with a smile, "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, just today."

Xie Ying seconded: "That's right, don't you have to go out to meet her in a while? Why don't you just talk about it after meeting her?"

I didn't wake up until the afternoon, and there were several messages from Shi Jinghe on my phone. She asked me if I woke up, and said that if I woke up, I could go to the store to find her.

I went back to her and said that I was going, and it was almost four o'clock now, and I was still eating in the living room.

I put down my chopsticks, leaned back on the sofa, and closed my eyes: "But I don't know."

"No, you're all so close, how did she call you 'my little branch' yesterday, God, you said you liked her, she couldn't disagree." Xiao Xu came to sit beside me, and he looked at me, " Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of, take courage, my God, I'm really anxious when I'm alone."

Xie Ying: "I'm also anxious. Zhizhi has been chasing her for three months, and they are still not together." She shook her head, "No, in these three months, she didn't even do anything to pursue her."

I:"……"

Me: "That's not what I meant. What I said was unreasonable. I didn't know how to confess my love to her. I didn't like her enough. I wanted to do something else."

Xiaoxu said "ah", "I understand, you want to make it more romantic, don't you?"

"Yes, let her and I never forget it."

Xie Ying frowned: "But it's just a formality. Generally speaking, liking is romantic enough."

I covered my face again: "Annoyance, let's take a look when I see her later."

"Come on Zhizhi!"

At around [-]:[-], I changed my outfit and went out.

It was raining again in Yuncheng, but it was very small, but I took an umbrella after I got out of the car to prevent the rain from getting my hair wet.

After walking for a long time, I arrived at "Selling Love". After putting the umbrella outside the door with ease, I opened the door again and went in.

The store looked familiar, and the clerk who was familiar with me greeted me.

Another child was holding the hand of his parents, walking to one candy basket after another, pointing to the sweet-looking candy and saying that he wanted to eat this.

I knocked on the door as before, waited for it to open, and walked in.

On the way around, he had already given himself psychological training to let himself relax, but now when he was in Shi Jinghe's office, he couldn't help but want to clenched his hands into fists.

The sound of clacking and tapping on the keyboard came one after another, I took a light breath and walked to Shi Jinghe's desk.

Xiaoyang Xiaohui and the others saw me coming in, raised their heads and smiled at me, said they hadn't seen me for a long time, and then continued to stare at the computer and work.

I also responded with a smile: "Long time no see."

What's rare is that Pei Keran is here. I thought she would be busy with her ramen shop business.

She stood up from her chair, raised her eyebrows at me, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhizhi, we really haven't seen each other for a long time."

I nodded: "Yes, so why don't I come today?"

Pei Keran glanced in Shi Jinghe's direction, she approached me, smiled at me again and said, "Hey, unfortunately, you didn't come to see me."

I glanced at Shi Jinghe, and it happened that she was also looking at me, her eyes met, I immediately looked away at Pei Keran, and changed the subject: "It's past five o'clock, will you get off work in a while?"

The room was air-conditioned and very warm.

"Yes." Pei Keran sat on the sofa and stretched. She pointed to her face and asked me, "Did you see my face getting rougher?"

I shook my head: "No, it looks better and better."

After I finished speaking, I glanced at Shi Jinghe again. She no longer looked at me but turned her head to look at her computer screen, with her slender fingers skillfully operating on the keyboard.

Pei Keran followed my gaze, and then she gave a "tsk".

I coughed in embarrassment, and Pei Keran continued the topic just now: "Zhizhi, have you eaten the candy we sell? It's so sweet."

I nodded cooperatively: "Yes."

After drinking some water, Pei Keran said: "I'll finish the last work first, Zhizhi, you sit down for a while first."

I nodded: "OK."

Pei Keran returned to his seat, and I was sitting upright on the sofa in the office for entertaining guests, but my head was slightly lowered, because in this case, Shi Jinghe might not be able to see my full expression.

I wanted to look at her but didn't dare to look at her expression.

But in fact, there is no need to rush, Shi Jinghe will be off work in a while, and this is not the first time I have waited for her to get off work.

Anyway, it will only take a few minutes to face her, I will adjust myself first, besides, there are other people in the office besides us, so it is impossible for me to act like...hug her .

Just as I was thinking about it, Shi Jinghe's voice came from next to my ear: "Aren't you coming?"

She was smiling again, I raised my head to look at her, and saw her bending her lips against mine.

I sniffed, stood up and walked slowly to her desk, and said, "Come here."

I pretended to be polite and asked her, "What's the matter?"

"Yes." Shi Jinghe said, "Can you sort out the documents on the desk for me?"

"it is good."

I didn't refuse, and it was impossible for me to refuse. The documents on her desk were a bit messy, with one or two sheets of paper placed sloppily, without any regularity.

But before sorting out, I also asked: "Don't you need to classify?"

"No, these are almost resolved."

"Ok."

I packed quietly, feeling like a secretary.

During this period, Shi Jinghe also answered a phone call. The other party should also be her customer, and the two of them were talking about business matters.

Within a few minutes, I folded all the documents neatly, and I said, "Okay."

Shi Jinghe also closed the open webpage on the computer, turned to me and said, "Let's go then, I'm off work."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the coat hanging on the side and put it on, and said to her staff while putting it on, "I'm leaving first, you can leave later, remember to turn off the lights and air conditioners."

"Ok."

Pei Keran also picked up his bag and stood up, arranged his clothes, and said, "See you tomorrow."

Their two bosses left earlier today, and I followed them out of the office.

The drizzle outside was fine and dense. I took my umbrella and opened it. Pei Keran said "Oops": "What should I do? I don't seem to have an umbrella, so I can only use Jinghe's."

After she finished speaking, she picked up Shi Jinghe's umbrella. I was familiar with this umbrella because Shi Jinghe had held it before.

And before we could react, Pei Keran had already held up his umbrella and walked into the rain, then waved his back to us as a sign of saying goodbye.

I cleared my throat and was about to speak, but Shi Jinghe was a second faster than me, and she said, "Let's go too."

"Okay." I nodded, holding the umbrella above my head, Shi Jinghe stood up and walked to the parking place side by side with me.

I was the one holding the umbrella, but she then raised her hand and took it from me, and she held it up.

I looked at her a little surprised: "Why don't you want me to support you?"

She was so close to me that our arms were almost touching through the clothes.

Pedestrians came and went in a hurry, everyone was holding an umbrella, and no one could see each other's faces clearly.

Shi Jinghe stopped, she turned to look at me: "Because..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but lowered the handle of the umbrella, completely isolating us from the outside world.

She slowly approached my face, and said softly: "I want to test if you are really... sweet."

My face immediately turned red again, Shi Jinghe raised the handle of the umbrella again, and stopped looking at me, she sighed: "It's still not enough, it's fine if you didn't coax me, and you haven't said you like me, I don't want to do this Do."
