Dedicated to the thorns

☆、Chapter 3

three

When off work, Guan Ying met Shen Tong at the subway station, and both of them took the subway home.After chatting all the way, Guan Ying found that Shen Tong actually got off at the same stop as herself.

"What a coincidence!" Shen Tong said.

"Yes, we are really destined." Guan Ying had a premonition that Shen Tong would become the person closest to him in the company.The age of the other people in the company is a bit too different from my own. They are either veterans in the workplace or young fresh meat who have just graduated. Some are inseparable from the love of their children every day, and the other are working overtime every day. There is no common topic.

"How do you eat dinner?" Shen Tong asked.

"Eat out or eat at home."

"You are amazing! You can cook by yourself! I am only limited to cooking noodles and porridge... I am already 25 years old, maybe I will get married someday. I can't even cook." Shen Tong admired Guan Ying very much.

"You can find a husband who cooks for you! Haha, I'm okay, because I live alone all the time, and I can't always eat outside. I think the food outside is a bit unhygienic, but it's because I'm too lazy, almost Also go out to eat."

"Is it not expensive to rent a house for you to live alone? Where do you rent a house?"

"My house is not rented, this is my home." Guan Ying said with a smile.

"So you're a local! It doesn't sound like your accent, so don't your parents live with you?"

"My parents' family is not here, but they live here. So our family speaks Mandarin. Since I went to college, they have gone abroad. I have been living alone since I came back from college. So I naturally learned to take care of myself. gone."

"Ah, that's great! You're so independent! My family doesn't live here, and I work here. The house I rent is that kind of single room. There's no kitchen, so I'm not very good at cooking."

"Independence is gone. Didn't you just come out to work alone after graduation? You all have each other. Don't go out to eat today, come to my house to eat together!" Guan Ying invited Shen Tong to come to his house as a guest.

"That's all you need to do!"

Guan Ying led Shen Tong to her home.It was only then that the two discovered that the house Shen Tong rented was not far from Guan Ying's house, and it took only 5 minutes to walk there.They were overjoyed and made an appointment to go to work together in the morning.

Guan Ying's home is about 80 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room.Later, both of her parents went abroad, so Guan Ying converted her parents' bedroom into a study.Guan's father and Guan's mother divorced in Guan Ying's freshman year. They felt that their daughters were old enough to be independent, so they each lived separately.First, Guan Fu left the country by himself, saying that he wanted to start a new life.Guan's mother has retired, and when she has nothing to do at home, she plays mahjong and dances with her neighbors and aunts. After studying foreign languages ​​hard, I went abroad after half a year.

As for Guan Ying, she respected their decision. The twisted melon is not sweet, so if we can't continue to live together, we will share it.What's more, if I don't live with them, wouldn't it be happier to live alone.In this way, the house became Guan Ying's own base.Later, Guan Fu married another wife in a foreign country, a Chinese. The two lived in a foreign country, and Guan Fu sometimes sent money to himself.Guan Mu did not have a new love. In order to make a living, she found a job teaching Chinese in a foreign country.Guan's mother called Guan Ying and said: I think I have returned to the heroic appearance when I was young.

The second old man is happy.

Guan Ying opened the refrigerator and saw some vegetables in it.She thought she could fry a plate of vegetables.

Guan Ying wanted to find a piece of meat in the refrigerator, but she didn't have the impression that she bought any meat, so she looked through it carefully, and sure enough, there was none.You can't just eat vegetables when entertaining friends, and Shen Tong is not a rabbit.She decided to go downstairs to buy it.

Shen Tong wanted to help out in the kitchen at first, but Guan Ying strongly asked her to watch TV.Just wait and eat.

Guan Ying told her not to expect too much.

"I'm going out to buy something." Guan Ying said to Shen Tong when she went out.

"buy what?"

"There's only food left in the refrigerator, I'm going to buy some meat."

"Don't go, I'll eat whatever you want. You don't need to buy meat, what a hassle!" Shen Tong went to hold her back.

"It's okay, if you don't come today, I will go down and buy."

"Then I'll go with you."

"I would like you to go with me, but you have a difficult task - I made soup in the kitchen, you can help me watch." Guan Ying smiled, Guan Ying is the kind who can be accompanied or A person with no one to accompany him.You may be used to a person and feel that it doesn't matter.

"That's really troublesome." Shen Tong was very embarrassed.

Guan Ying's house is considered an old house, with seven floors in total and no elevator. Hers lives on the fifth floor.

Guan Ying planned to go to a nearby farmer's market to buy meat and some fruit to make a fruit salad.As soon as she came out of the residential building and turned a corner, she saw the former company's chief financial officer, the one who pestered her endlessly - Xiao Mang.He was turning in the direction of the downstairs of his house in the car, Guan Ying was taken aback, did he come looking for him?How did he know he lived here?

Guan Ying felt that she might have made a mistake, so she hid aside to see what happened.That car belonged to Xiao Mang, that's right, the car actually stopped downstairs at his house!And Guan Ying clearly saw that the person getting out of the car was Xiao Mang, so it was confirmed.

"This pervert has actually chased after my sister's house." Guan Ying said to herself, she hurriedly called Shen Tong at home, but she found that she didn't have Shen Tong's phone number yet, at this moment she suddenly remembered the relationship between the two at noon. Wechat each other.

Guan Ying sent a voice: Xiao Tong, please turn down the volume of the TV first.Listen for a knock on the door, and if someone knocks, don't make a sound!Just act like no one is home.If there is any situation, let me know by the way.

Shen Tong sent an "OK" emoji.He asked again: Sister, what's the matter?

Guan Ying: I will tell you the details when I go back.And don't call me sister, call me Xiaoguan, Xiaoying, Daguan, Daying, Guanguan, Yingying, ... In short, whatever is fine, just don't call me sister, and don't call me Sister Guan and Sister Ying. We are only two years apart, and I don't want a generation gap between us.

Shen Tong: I just thought it would be polite, hehe, then I'll call you Daguan!

Guan Ying just wanted to say, "Then let me call you Da Shen!" Suddenly, he realized that this sound can also be understood as "Auntie." She secretly smiled, so she replied: OK.

Guan Ying felt relieved and went shopping for groceries.When I got to the traffic light, the phone rang suddenly.Guan Ying ignored it, and crossed the road first.I thought to myself: Who is this? It's really not the right time to call.Could it be Xiao Mang?

Guan Ying picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was an unknown number.Although she had already blocked Xiao Mang, the possibility that he changed his number was not ruled out.Except for my mother who had nothing to do and called me to talk about things abroad, basically no one called me anymore.She decided not to take it.But she was afraid that a colleague from the new company would call her for something, and she had left a phone call on her resume.She felt a little itchy in her heart, struggling to answer the phone.After the second call rang, the other party did not call again.Guan Ying stared at the phone screen, and it didn't ring again after a long time. "Let's go shopping first." Guan Ying was not in the mood to go shopping.

"What kind of apples are these?"

"They're all made locally, girl, buy this one, it's sweet and delicious."

"Then give me a catty. Another bunch of that grape, that bunch. Come again..."

"..."

Guan Ying bought meat and fruit.Seeing Xiaotong sent a message to himself: Someone knocked on the door just now, but I didn't say anything.I took a look, it was a man.After a while he left.

Guan Ying: I see. By the way, see if there is a car downstairs.

Shen Tong: No.

Guan Ying: I finished shopping for groceries and I'm ready to go back!

Shen Tong: Pay attention to safety, walk slowly!

Guan Ying smiled, and said to herself, "Why is it like my mother?"

I thought that Xiao Mang had already returned home, but Guan Ying was thinking that if he came to find her tomorrow, it would be troublesome, but unexpectedly, she ran into Xiao Mang when she was out of the vegetable market.

Xiao Mang ran over, wearing a suit, and the leather shoes on his feet made a "click" sound, "I knew my intuition was right, you must have come to the nearby market if you are not at home!"

"What did you come to see me for? I've already resigned, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Don't bother me anymore." Guan Ying turned around and left after speaking.

Xiao Mang grabbed her shoulder with one hand and turned her around.Guan Ying and Xiao Mang were close at hand, and Xiao Mang looked at her with such affectionate eyes.Guan Ying pushed him away, "You pervert! If you don't leave, I'll yell!"

Xiao Mang raised both hands, "I... I... I didn't do it on purpose, I just... I'll just say a few words to you, and then I'll leave."

Guan Ying frowned, "Go ahead."

"I really do love you. I was so out of my mind before. Now I don't."
