Wen Qiao's voice was soft, a voice that was unique only when she was talking to Fu Nanli. it's late, go home early and sleep.
"I'll give you a red packet when the car turns down Shuying road."
Wen Qiao lay on the bed, shaking her legs gently. it's already so late, there's no need. You can also send a message on your phone.
The car stopped in front of a convenience store by the street. Fu Nanli walked in and let out a crisp " welcome " sound. Fu Nanli stood in front of the shelf and pressed the camera to the back. what style do you like? "
"You really want to come over?"
The man didn't say anything, his slender fingers picking and choosing red packets on the shelf.
He wanted to see her, to hug her, to feel some human touch, to comfort his heart.
"Which one do you like?"
Wen Qiao looked closely at the two bags of red packets in his hands. "The one with the Chinese zodiac sign is pretty cute."
Fu Nanli then put down another bag. "Then this one."
Wen Qiao watched as he took the red packet to the cashier. In this electronic era, he still paid the bill with cash very traditionally. A single red bill in his fingers looked much better than others.
Before he could switch the camera, he saw that the cashier girl seemed to be blushing.
Wen Qiao coughed lightly. help me buy a pack of candy too. It's peach flavored. It's a new flavor from the convenience store.
Fu Nanli's voice was gentle and tender. you're already so old. Do you still like candy? " he asked.
"No matter how old I am, I'm still your little baby."
This was Wen Qiao's way of declaring her sovereignty, and she felt goosebumps all over her body when she said it.
The cashier lady instantly didn't dare to secretly size up Fu Nanli anymore. So the handsome guy already had a girlfriend.
Fu Nanli then picked up a bag of peach-flavored candy from the side of the cashier and showed it to her. "Is this it?"
"Yes."
Fu Nanli placed the candy next to the red packet. "We'll settle the bill together."
The cashier took the money obediently. "It's 32 Yuan in total. Your change is 68 yuan."
Fu Nanli unhurriedly put the money into his wallet, picked up the red packet and candy, and left.
The cashier cupped her face and said to her male colleague who was sorting out the shelves, " "What a handsome man."
"It's a pity that he already has a girlfriend."
The cashier sighed. all good men are taken. Sigh.
In the Wen family home, Wen Qiao took out a red velvet box from the drawer. Inside was a small and exquisite jade carving carved from the Chinese zodiac, tied with a short red line.
Two days ago, her mother went to Longhua Temple to burn incense and fulfill her wish because of her uncle's return. Since she had nothing to do, she went with her.
She had bought this blessed Jade from the temple. She had planned to give it to him the next day, but now that he was here, she would give it to him tonight.
After a while, he sent a text message."At the back door. Come out."
She added a pair of ice cream and wore it thicker. It was cold outside.
Wen Qiao wore a long black down jacket that reached her feet and wrapped herself up like a cocoon. Then, she walked out of the door quietly and closed the wooden door.
On the last day of the old calendar, the weather was great. The dark sky was dotted with cold stars. Wen Qiao stuffed her hands into the pockets of her down jacket and looked around, but she didn't see Fu Nanli.
She called his name softly and walked forward with small steps.
From the corner of the blue brick courtyard wall, a long hand reached out and Wen Qiao was pulled into an embrace by a huge force.
Under the cold moonlight, Fu Nanli looked at the person in his arms, as if he was looking at her with a pair of innocent foxy eyes.
"Why didn't you say anything?"
