Cang Mengxi

This time, Meng Lingxi didn't want to be so demeanor anymore. She wore a khaki-colored cotton jacket, leaned against the column in front of the hotel, played with her mobile phone, and waited for Qin Qiong to pick it up. Just as eye-catching.

Hearing the horn, Meng Lingxi looked up at the car in front, and saw Qin Qiong tilting his head towards him to signal to get on the car.He opened the co-pilot's door and sat in, and the car slowly drove towards the road.

Looking at the obviously less traffic outside than usual, Meng Lingxi sighed: "The last time I came to S City, there was always a traffic jam on the road. How can there be so many fewer people during the Spring Festival?!"

Qin Qiong looked in the rearview mirror, turned the car into another road, and said, "There are a lot of out-of-towners here, and most of them have returned to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year, so there are fewer natural people."

"No wonder." Meng Lingxi looked out the window, wondering, "Didn't we come out to press the road?" Turning to look at Qin Qiong, "Where are you taking me?"

Qin Qiong said without emotion: "Supermarket."

Meng Lingxi dead fish eyes: "..."

"..." After a long while, Qin Qiong compromised, "Go with you after shopping!"

"OK!" Meng Lingxi regained her strength in an instant and smiled at Qin Qiong, "What are you going to buy?"

Qin Qiong thought for a while and replied, "My parents have basically bought the new year's goods, I'll go buy something I want."

Meng Lingxi didn't even think about asking: "What is it?"

Qin Qiong: "..."

After not hearing Qin Qiong's answer for a long time, Meng Lingxi glanced to the left suspiciously, "So mysterious? Can't you say it?"

Qin Qiong shook his head, and Meng Lingxi didn't understand what he meant by shaking his head. Seeing that Qin Qiong didn't intend to speak, Meng Lingxi stopped asking.

The two soon came to a large supermarket. Meng Lingxi stood at the entrance of the supermarket with an indifferent expression on his face. Did he agree that there was no one there?what is this?Was the crowded place he saw a ghost?Qin Qiong pushed a cart over and urged Meng Lingxi to go in.

Qin Qiong pushed the cart directly to the fresh food area, and Meng Lingxi followed beside him with a blank expression. In such a crowded place, he felt very irritable.After picking some fresh ingredients and putting them in the car, Qin Qiong glanced at Meng Lingxi and asked casually, "Aren't you going back for the New Year?"

Meng Lingxi rolled her eyes, "Where am I going back?"

Qin Qiong asked while putting ingredients in the car, "Where are your parents?"

A trace of emotion flashed in Meng Lingxi's eyes, "Dead!"

Qin Qiong paused while picking the ingredients, and Qin Qiong glanced at Meng Lingxi. He knew almost nothing about Meng Lingxi's situation, so he didn't say anything, "You're here for the Chinese New Year this year?"

Meng Lingxi adjusted her mood, raised her hand to pick up the ingredients at hand, looked at them casually, and put them back, "Well, Chinese New Year is meaningless to me, it's the same everywhere, I grew up in country S, There is no habit of Chinese New Year."

"Really?" Qin Qiong looked at the fruit in the crisper in front of him, "Is there anything you want to eat?"

Meng Lingxi's attention was instantly attracted by the colorful fruits in front of him, and he pointed, "I want this, this, and this." Qin Qiong glanced at the fruits Meng Lingxi pointed to, and took each one. One box, asked: "Is it enough?"

Meng Lingxi looked at the small box, then raised her hand to take two boxes of cherries and grapes, "Okay."

Qin Qiong nodded, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Meng Lingxi walked in front, "Let's watch while walking." Qin Qiong was noncommittal.

When the two came to the snack area, Meng Lingxi was almost blinded by the golden piece, and asked in surprise, "What... is this?" He pointed to the golden piece of snacks.

Qin Qiong looked at it and replied, "Chocolate, do you want to eat it? Maybe the taste is average."

Meng Lingxi stepped forward, picked up an egg and looked at it, "There is still such a thing? Why is it packaged like gold?"

Qin Qiong picked up a gold ingot and put it in Meng Lingxi's hands, "Auspicious, it is a sign of abundant wealth."

"It's quite interesting, let's buy some." Meng Lingxi smiled, and took a bag to pack it up by himself.

The two didn't go shopping for a long time, and put the bought things into the trunk. Meng Lingxi said, "Fortunately, this supermarket has automatic checkout. Otherwise, there are so many people in line, and they don't know what year and month they will be in line for."

"Yeah!" Qin Qiong responded, and just as he was about to open the door of the driver's cab, his hand was held down. Qin Qiong looked at Meng Lingxi in confusion.

"The one who agreed to walk the road with me after shopping?" Meng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "You don't want to go back on your word, do you?"

Grabbing Meng Lingxi's hand, Qin Qiong opened the car door, "I bought a lot of ingredients that need to be kept fresh." Seeing that Meng Lingxi still looked reluctant, he compromised: "I'll go with you after putting away the things, OK?" How obsessed are you with pressing the road?

Meng Lingxi was still reluctant in his heart. He always felt that he was being fooled by Qin Qiong, and he repeatedly shied away. After thinking about it, the fruits he bought also needed to be preserved well, otherwise they would not taste good if they were not fresh, so he reluctantly said: "Okay! If you have anything else to do..." Meng Lingxi clenched his fists, "If you can't beat him, you have to beat him!"

Qin Qiong: "...um." Getting in the car, he took out his mobile phone to check the information of nearby hotels, and chose one to navigate to.

Meng Lingxi was led into the elevator by Qin Qiong, and he said strangely: "Isn't this your house?!" He lived in Qin Qiong's house, and it's only been a few months. He still has some impressions, he clearly remembers that It is a low-rise community, where is such a building.

Holding a few shopping bags in his hand, Qin Qiong stood in front of the elevator and looked at the number of floors. Hearing this, he glanced at Meng Lingxi, "It's not going back to my house."

"Huh?" Meng Lingxi didn't understand, "Then whose house are you going to?"

After Meng Lingxi finished speaking, before Qin Qiong could answer, the elevator door opened. Qin Qiong stepped out first, and said as he walked, "This is a hotel apartment, and you will live here from now on."

Meng Lingxi blinked, "Why? I stayed in the previous hotel quite well." Besides, he had all his stuff over there and hadn't checked out yet.

Qin Qiong didn't answer, walked to the counter, turned to Meng Lingxi and said, "ID card."

Hearing this, Meng Lingxi silently took out her ID card and handed it over.

Qin Qiong handed the ID card to the staff, "There is a reservation online, call 13XXXXXXXXXX."

The staff operated on the computer, found the reservation information, put the ID card in the induction area, hesitated, and said: "Sir, if two people check in, both ID cards must be registered."

Just as Qin Qiong wanted to say that he didn't need it, Meng Lingxi reached into his trousers pocket and took out his wallet, took out his ID card and threw it to the front desk.

"..."

Meng Lingxi walked into the room, saw that there was a kitchen, and finally came to his senses. Looking at Qin Qiong who was putting things in front of the refrigerator, he smiled from the bottom of his heart. This person looked indifferent, but actually...not bad... And, just, oh, it's nineteen after the new year, it's nice to be young...

After putting away the things, Qin Qiong walked to Meng Lingxi's side, "Let's go, I'll bring your things here later."

Meng Lingxi smiled happily, "Okay."

Qin Qiong felt that Meng Lingxi's smile was very different from usual, but he couldn't describe how it was different. He just felt that it was brighter and more real.

The two found a roadside park with few people and walked slowly, chatting from time to time, the smile on the corner of Meng Lingxi's mouth didn't go away, he just felt full and comfortable, "Why do you want to Buy food for me? I don’t know how to do it.”

Putting one hand in his pocket, Qin Qiong replied, "I'll cook." He didn't expect this person to be able to cook.

"Hehe, so when you go shopping, you buy it for me?" Meng Lingxi smiled like a stealing cat.

Qin Qiong nodded.

When Meng Lingxi turned his head to see what Qin Qiong was about to say, something suddenly hit his leg, and the "thing" was knocked to the ground immediately due to the reaction force.

Qin Qiong and Meng Lingxi quickly looked down, and saw a child staring at them with his mouth flattened, wanting to cry or not. The child was wearing very old clothes, and his clothes and face were dirty in several places. Nutritious yellow.

The two were a little strange, how could a child appear here?I looked left and right, but I didn't see any other adults. The two looked at each other, and they both saw bewilderment in each other's eyes. What should I do?

In the end, it was Meng Lingxi who showed his usual patience in dealing with work, squatted down and helped the child up, and said with a smile, "Little friend, where are your parents?"

The child looked at Meng Lingxi with fear in his eyes, but he just kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to cry out.

Meng Lingxi wanted to say something more, but Qin Qiong patted him on the shoulder to stop him, Meng Lingxi didn't know why, so he looked up at him, Qin Qiong pointed to the back, Meng Lingxi turned around and saw two very ordinary clothes The couple ran over, shouting "Xiaobao" as they ran, which should be the child's name.

The couple quickly ran up to the two of them, and the child's mother immediately knelt down and picked up her child, looked up at the two of them cautiously, apologized, and Meng Lingxi even said it was okay.Dad thanked them both, and left with his wife and children in his arms.The family of three didn't go far and could still vaguely hear their voices, - "I don't know when the hospital will be able to get our number, alas~ husband, I'm dragging you and Xiaobao down, if I didn't have such a hard time The disease he was cured..."-"What are you talking about, I am useless, I have no way to give you an expensive number, otherwise I wouldn't have made you so procrastinating... Sigh..." The voice gradually walking away...

Qin Qiong paused when he heard the words, stopped and turned to look at the family. The figures of the family of three had gone far away, and everyone was carrying their backs, which was a posture oppressed by life.

Meng Lingxi also heard it. He had seen this kind of thing a lot in country S, and it was the first time he had seen it since he came to country Z. He turned his head to look at Qin Qiong, and he thought what Qin Qiong was going to do.

In the end, Qin Qiong didn't do anything, turned around and continued to walk forward. Meng Lingxi smiled slightly when he saw it, "I thought you would help them."

Shaking his head, Qin Qiong said: "If you can help one, you can't help everyone. Why bother? Besides, we see it as a help now, who knows if it will become a harm in the end?!" This is a social problem, He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could figure it out.

Meng Lingxi said: "This reminded me of a book I read once. It said that the ZF in a certain place introduced a policy to protect black rhinos. Anyone who wants to hunt it will pay 15 US dollars per head. $15 can be legally shot.” ​​With a chuckle, “Another example is that the Inuit are the only people in the world who can legally hunt walruses. Later, they felt that there were so many walruses that they couldn’t eat them themselves. After finishing, I thought about selling my own share. How much is it, there are people who like to hunt large animals across the ocean. Walruses can’t run fast, lying on the ice with a lump of meat It doesn't matter, those people walked over and shot it in the head with a 'bang', and the walrus didn't even resist. They described it as walking a long distance to shoot a... a cloth bag sofa !"

Qin Qiong: "..."

Meng Lingxi walked backwards, looked at Qin Qiong and said, "Isn't it interesting? There are too many such things in the world written in the book, and what happened to the family just now is just the tip of the iceberg."

Qin Qiong didn't answer, he wouldn't make too much judgment on things he didn't understand, but he still felt very uncomfortable.
