Chapter 153 My name is Xiang Xi (17)
"I want corn paste today," Xiang Xi thought for a while, "I want two more buns... and a cup of soy milk."
"Okay, I ate more today than usual," the elder sister quickly put a bag on him with buns, "It's going to be expensive in summer."
"...It's probably." Xiang Xi responded a little embarrassedly.
High consumption?
Not...it's too old...
Consumption is a little consumed...
Don’t you know if Cheng Boyan consumes it normally?
If you don’t consume it, you’re sick!
Xiang Xi took the bag and turned back to the supermarket and twitched. What are you thinking about in her mind all day long!
There are still many customers today. There are still two days of activities in the gym next to you. Xiang Xi was wandering around the store, but there are still thieves. Last night, colleagues from that shift counted things before getting off work and found that there were fewer products.
Xiang Xi felt that those who came here to go with things may not be professional thieves. The main reason is that colleagues don’t know how to look at people, and they can’t steal any valuables from here. Real thieves are gathering in the gymnasium now.
He used to be with Mantou...
Thinking of the steamed bun, Xiang Xi's thoughts suddenly broke, and the figure that steamed bun disappeared in the white sunlight yesterday.
He sighed softly and leaned against the shelves to look at several customers who were picking things.
After a day of work, Zhang Xin arranged to ask them to have dinner again, and He Xiaoru waited for his answer with anticipation.
"I won't go anymore, I have something to do tonight," Xiang Xi said, "It's quite important."
"Oh, what important thing is it?" Yu Baoquan asked, "Can you go after eating? Are you going to have dinner with someone?"
"Yes." Xiang Xi nodded and turned around and walked towards the cottage and added: "Girlfriend."
There was no need to say this sentence, but he still said it. He Xiaoru's attitude made him feel a little embarrassed. The little girl was shy and probably wouldn't be able to wait for her chance to refuse after a few months.
It's good to mention something unintentionally, it doesn't hurt your self-esteem.
Yu Baoquan shouted with a smile.
Neither Zhang Xin nor He Xiaoru had a voice, and Xiang Xi did not look back. This was the first time he said such words. He was embarrassed to look back and buried his head and went back to the hut.
I was very tired today, but he still planned to eat something casually and go to the old man Lu according to the address given by Cheng Boyan. There were still several days off, and he couldn't wait.
You are fine.
If he hadn't seen the steamed bun again and hadn't heard the steamed bun, he might not have been so anxious.
But now, he was a little scared. He was afraid that any "waiting" would make him slide back. He was afraid of the plain tone like steamed buns, and the end of the dull tone that didn't know the reason.
He was very familiar with this tone. He used to be like that, as if he had seen through everything, but in fact it was nothing more than helplessness and despair.
There is nothing to prepare when I go to find Old Man Lu. I originally wanted to bring some gifts, but I thought that they were unhappy to collect money. People didn’t care about buying things, and they didn’t know what to bring.
It’s boring if it’s light, and it’s unwilling to let it go if it’s heavy.
Actually, it's mainly because I can't bear to leave money...
Xiang Xi carried his bag on his back and didn't plan to eat it anywhere, so he brought two small rice dumplings from the supermarket and ate while walking.
After finishing the meal, while standing at the bus stop waiting for the bus, Cheng Boyan called.
"Are you so idle today?" Xiang Xi was a little surprised. Cheng Boyan was usually racing against time to finish the patient who was still waiting.
"I'm not idle, I'm in the bathroom, I've been holding it in for more than an hour," said Cheng Boyan. "I've taken the time to call you, are you off work?"
"Well, I'm waiting for the car to find that old man," Xiang Xi laughed, "Have you finished peeing?"
"It's over," Cheng Boyan smiled, "You're going now?"
"Or else when will you go? Go early and you will know the result," Xiang Xi said, "Is it appropriate for you to go empty-handed?"
"Just empty-handed, it's okay. Maybe everyone else is holding things, but you don't have them. It's more eye-catching. When someone mentions them, you immediately remember them, oh, that guy who doesn't take anything..." Cheng Boyan's voice trembled a little, probably walking towards the clinic.
"Do you say something hurt me or comfort me?" Xiang Xi was a little dissatisfied, "I'm nervous here."
"Comfort you, seriously," said Cheng Boyan. "If you can't go, don't just call me old man. Call me Master Lu, Master Lu, and Grandpa Lu."
"I know, I won't even say this." Xiang Xi said.
"I remembered it..." Cheng Boyan laughed, "You are your strength, and you are just talking about the truth and lies."
Xiang Xi laughed a little, he knew that Cheng Boyan was referring to the time when he was talking nonsense in the past.
After laughing for a while, he slowly closed his smile, leaned on the billboard at the station, and whispered: "You said, am I very... cold?"
"Hmm?" Cheng Boyan was stunned, "Why are you cold?"
"It's...it's...it's...it's just...it's not to save my friend, and it doesn't help me in trouble." Xiang Xi frowned and said with a little difficulty.
"Did you mean steamed buns?" Cheng Boyan asked.
This was the first time Cheng Boyan took the initiative to mention steamed buns. Xiang Xi paused: "It's like steamed buns."
"It's hard to explain this matter in a few words," Cheng Boyan was silent for a while. "You can only do what you can do. It has nothing to do with being cold or not. Impulse and brain fever are the most terrible."
Xiang Xi didn't say anything, and after a few seconds he responded: "I understand."
"Do your own business first," said Cheng Boyan. "If you want to talk about this, let's find some time to talk about it."
"Okay." Xiang Xi smiled and felt much more at ease.
Old Man Lu's home is quite far away. Xiang Xi is not familiar with bus routes. He changed three times before he got to the place. He was sweating when he got off the bus.
He entered a store, blew the air conditioner for a while, and then came out and continued to walk towards Old Man Lu's house by address.
This area is an old residential area of the Tea Research Institute and a factory next to it. It is a large yard. Many open small yards on the first floor have a small open space. Some are planted with vegetables, some are deserted, covered with weeds, and many small wild flowers are blooming.
There are many trees, all of which are very casually grown old trees. They look quite old at first glance. They are different from the neat and well-grown trees in the Cheng Boyan community, which makes them more comfortable to look.
Old Man Lu’s house is on the first floor, at the innermost part of the residential compound, Building 8, and half of the 8 printed on the wall of the building dropped, looking like 6.
