Xiao has thought about it for a long time

Jiangcheng has entered a cloudy and cloudy period, with bright sunshine in the morning and dark clouds in the afternoon, changing from sunny to cloudy.

Middle and high schools have started classes early, college students have basically returned to school, and the party at work repeats day-to-day work, high-rise buildings, heavy traffic, Qijing Street, which can't be seen at the end, is bustling and noisy, and the tattoo shop is not far away. A large shopping mall has been opened, and many big brands have settled in strongly, bringing a huge passenger flow to this area.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Josie had nothing to do, so she went to the new shopping mall alone. It had just opened, and there were various discounts, so she could buy something suitable when she saw it.

There is a flower shop in the lobby of the shopping mall, with roses, baby's breath, daffodils...everything. The staff of the flower shop are familiar faces, and they have met several times.

There are branded clothing stores on the third floor, and I went to two casually, but I unexpectedly ran into people who shouldn't be here at the second one——Fu Bei and Qiu Yinong.

Josie went in first. She was trying on clothes in the fitting room. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard the voices of the shopping guide and Qiu Yinong chatting outside. After all, she held a sign at the Polytechnic University and was deeply impressed by this voice. At first, she was not sure. , and then I heard Qiu Yinong ask with a smile: "Mr. Fu, what do you think of this one?"

Josie in the fitting room froze for a moment, her hand on the doorknob froze.

"Very suitable for you." The man replied softly.

Peaceful and plain dialogue without losing the ambiguity unique to adults.

Maybe it was Josie's preconceived idea, and the tightness in her heart lingered. She pursed her red lips until the two of them paid the bill and left the store before going out.

The shopping guide stood guard at the door of the fitting room, doing her duty. When she saw her open the door and go out, she asked intimately, "Miss Qiao, is the dress still suitable? Do you want to come out and take care of it?"

After handing over the selected clothes to the shopping guide, she said calmly, "Wrap them up, thank you."

The shopping guide was a little surprised that she wanted all of them. After all, Josie was dressed in ordinary clothes, and she had been in the fitting room for so long just now. She thought she would not buy it, so she smiled all over her face and quickly packed the clothes, politely and respectfully. to send Josie out.

The sky was gloomy, and it suddenly rained heavily at this time. I didn't feel it in the shopping mall, but when I got to the door, I found that the crowd was all gathered in the drink shop at the door. The rain was so heavy that I couldn't leave without an umbrella.

Suddenly a message came from the mobile phone, it was from Qin Si, saying that she would come over tonight, she would buy food, and asked Josie to wait.

The tone was still not refusing, and he didn't even ask Josie if he had time.

Josie followed Daliu into the beverage store to buy a drink to pass the time, while queuing up to reply to the message, but before she could type a word, Qin Si asked: [Where is it?In the store or at home? 】

It's raining so hard, why not come here... Josie frowned, deleted all the typing, and replied: 【Outside, I will go back to the store later when the rain stops. 】

Qin Si: [Is something going out? 】

Josie: [There is a shopping mall nearby, come and have a look. 】

The interface shows that the other party is inputting, but it hasn't been sent yet, Qin Si didn't say anything in the end, this person is really strange, since he went out for a trip, it seems that everything is different, he used to be a free and easy person, but now he is procrastinating. Qualitative, don't know exactly what to do.

Josie didn't have the energy to take care of this, put the phone in his pocket, and ordered a latte at the front desk.

The beverage shop on the first floor of this shopping mall is completely open for the convenience of customers to increase the flow of the shop. Just after paying, I glanced casually and saw two people coming out of a similar coffee shop opposite.

Fu Bei held two cups of coffee, handed one to Qiu Yi Nong as he walked, and stopped at the gate of the shopping mall.

It was raining too much to go.

The autumn mood is strong, dignified and elegant, and she pays great attention to her manners even when drinking coffee. The apricot-colored retro mid-length dress she is wearing today, paired with nude-colored high-heeled shoes, is more intellectual and elegant.Fu Bei, on the other hand, wore a casual dark gray suit with a simple light gray V-neck lining and the hem was tucked into the trousers. She didn't wear a coat and put the coat on her arm at will, casual and familiar .

While chatting, Qiu Yinong smiled and moved closer to Fu Bei.

When people are chatting, the body language in the subconscious will not be fake, approach, raise your hand to touch your hair in a concealed manner, and smile uncontrollably at the corner of your mouth... The two of them stand together, they are pretty good, each has its own characteristics, and it is worthy of It is "Jiang Da Shuangshu".

There was a long queue in the drink shop, covering Josie so that she would not be noticed. She was dressed in ordinary clothes and had a plain face. Even if her appearance was outstanding, she would not be too conspicuous in the crowd.

The front desk called "No. 67" twice before she realized that it was her cup and walked through the line to get it.

The clerk was attentive and asked with a smile, "Do you want to pack?"

She tightened her throat and shook her head, "No, just drink it in the shop."

The clerk looked around and said apologetically, "There are a lot of customers today, and there are no seats left. How about helping you pack?"

Josie didn't want to go out, so she insisted, "You can just give it to me, stand for a while and leave when the rain stops."

The clerk didn't talk about it wisely, and if he said it, he was driving people away.

The rain continued unabated, falling endlessly, splashing on the ground with tiny splashes, and the continuous sound was disturbing.The latte was filled with ice, and it was cold in the mouth. In addition to the cold weather, Josie shrank her shoulders and stood behind the big pillar. Standing here would not be noticed.

Sometimes when I look up, I see the gate, the two are standing side by side, with their backs to this side, and I don't know what they are talking about.

The phone screen suddenly lit up, and it was Qin Si again.

[I have something to do today, come back later. 】

Locking the screen tightly, Josie clicked into WeChat.

【Row. 】

The other party replied quickly this time: [Come before seven o'clock, we will have dinner together then. 】

Looking at the news, Josie was a little puzzled. It was almost ten past five, and seven o'clock was too late. She thought she would not come until nine ten o'clock. After thinking about it, she replied: [Well, That's about as long as the rain stops. 】

The chat interface is calm, Qin Si may be really busy, so he didn't reply a word.

After waiting for a while without any movement, Josie turned off the phone screen and looked towards the gate involuntarily. When she saw the scene in the distance, she unconsciously squeezed the paper cup tightly with her thin white fingers.

Due to the temperature difference, water droplets condensed out of the cup, which was cold and covered with water.

In the distance, Qiu Yinong was bumped by the person next to her, and accidentally spilled some coffee on the ground, and got coffee stains on her hands, but fortunately, she didn't spill it on her skirt.The accident happened too suddenly, she didn't expect it, she backed up subconsciously, she couldn't stand still in her high heels and almost fell, but fortunately, Fu Bei helped her in time, so she didn't stagger and fall.

Looking at it from Josie's perspective, Fu Bei should be supporting his autumnal waist.

Before the shock was over, Qiu Yinong grabbed Fu Bei's forearm, and then let go when she stood firm. The passer-by who bumped into her hurried over to apologize. She was very embarrassed. She waved her hand and said softly, "It's okay." fine."

Fu Bei took out a piece of paper and gave it to Qiu Yinong, "Wipe it."

Qiu Yinong realized that the coffee stains on her hands were still dripping, and quickly wiped them off with paper.

The coffee on the ground was handled by the cleaning staff of the shopping mall. The one who bumped into him kept apologizing. He was generous and tolerant, and even comforted the other person in turn. Until the person left, she smiled and said to Fu Bei who was on the side: " Everyone is impatient when it rains, it’s easy to do that.”

Fu Bei didn't answer. After a while, he saw her touching the back of her hand uncomfortably, probably because of the sticky coffee, so he reminded, "The bathroom is over there."

Qiu Yinong Shi Shiran went to the bathroom.

Josie took a big sip of the latte with a blank expression, and it was cold from his mouth to his stomach. With his other hand hanging down, he stood still loosely.

Perhaps because he sensed a line of sight, Fu Bei looked towards this direction by feeling, but because the big pillar blocked him, he couldn't see the person behind the big pillar.

The heavy rain came and went quickly, and it ended in less than half an hour. The people gathered at the entrance of the shopping mall gradually dispersed. Fu Bei and Qiu Yinong also left. Josie just came out from behind the big pillar. She was not afraid of being seen , I just don't want to have too many entanglements, as if I care about it.

There was still fine mist floating in the sky, and the streets were already lit, but the distance looked gray, and the air was filled with the fresh smell washed by the heavy rain.

She went back to the store with her shopping bags, feeling chilly from walking against the mist all the way.

Just after the heavy rain, the noisy Qijing Street was deserted, and the pedestrians on the street were walking around sparsely.

I wiped my hair with a dry towel, and before I had time to take a breath, the staff of the flower shop in the shopping mall came to the door, sending fiery red and bright tulips today.

"Please sign for receipt, or just sign here." The flower shop staff said eagerly.

Seeing such a large bouquet of beautiful flowers, Josie didn't feel too fluctuated in her heart, and said lightly, "I'm in trouble."

The florist said, "Did you go to the mall this afternoon? I seem to have seen you walking past our shop."

Josie hums.

"Going shopping or meeting with friends?"

"Shopping."

It was just a small chat. After signing and receiving the order, the florist said, "I hope you like it. Goodbye."

Holding the tulips, Josie didn't show any joy on her face. It was only last night that she found out who sent the flowers. She used to decorate the shop before, but now she feels a little disgusted.

Without taking a second look, she threw the flower directly on the table, saying she was throwing it, but in fact it was the same as throwing it on the table. The flower was weak and fell on the table with a snap, and the petals fell off a few petals, and almost rolled down. Look at the corner of the table.

Today's sky is getting dark faster than usual, and after a while, when the lights of this street are almost all turned on, Qijing Street returns to normal.Qin Si said that he would come before seven o'clock, and he arrived at around six o'clock, carrying a bunch of Cantonese dishes into the door.

Qin Si is really, even if they eat together so much, they won't even find a restaurant.

But it saves time, and there is water everywhere, and it is troublesome to go out to eat.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked Josie, "What did you do at the mall?"

Josie helped pick up the things and put the dishes on the table, "Shopping."

"With friends?" Qin Si asked. When he said this, he looked at the various flowers in the store calmly. Some of them were almost withered, and they hadn't been taken out yet to be thrown away.

Josie didn't pay much attention, and replied, "I went by myself and bought two autumn clothes."

Qin Si's face softened a little, she felt that she asked a lot of questions, and she no longer asked the bottom line. She pretended that she hadn't seen those flowers, let alone mentioned this. After all, you can guess whether the flower sender is important or not. Josie really cares about the other party. Will definitely bring flowers home.

I bought a lot of dishes, all of which are more in line with Josie's taste. She likes light Cantonese food, and she never gets tired of eating it.After taking a sip of hot soup, she asked, "Why did you think of coming here?"

The relationship between the master and the apprentice has never been deep. Even in the University City, Qin Si seldom took the initiative to find Josie, let alone come to her shop. Basically, Josie went to her shop. Occasionally the phone couldn't get through. No, I didn't know anyone was there until I got to the door of the store.Qin Si often ran outside without telling everyone, and often went away for four or five days or even half a month. Gradually, Josie got used to it.

Qin Si paused, his tone was strange.

"Why, I'm not welcome here?"

Josie ate a mouthful of food, "No, just ask, I feel that you have changed a bit recently."

Qin Si didn't make a sound, took her soup bowl to refill the soup, and handed it over.Josie subconsciously picked it up. She caught the bottom of the bowl, but at this moment the other party suddenly lowered his hand. It seemed to be a coincidence, but she accidentally touched the back of the other party's hand.

Qin Si had known her sexual orientation for a long time, and if she accidentally touched it, it seemed that there was no major problem, but after all, she felt a little uncomfortable, froze, and curled her fingers as if to avoid it.

Qin Si was a little impatient, "What are you doing in a daze, I don't know how to pick up the bowl in front of me."

There is no reason, Josie is a little concerned, although Qin Si never mentioned it, but she can vaguely feel that Qin Si's sexual orientation seems to be the same as her own, this person has many male friends around him, but he has never had an affair with anyone , and the female friends have never seen any of them.

They are also girls, Qiao Xi and Tang Yi have no problem getting along with them at all, and they will not be uncomfortable at all. It was not like this with Qin Si before, but this time is different.After struggling for a moment, she still took the soup bowl and observed Qin Si quietly for a while, but everything in Qin Si was normal, no different from before.

Maybe she was thinking too much.

Qin Si said: "Next Monday, a friend has made an appointment to do the full back, and if he has time, come and help me."

Josie nodded.

There was a wind blowing in the street.After eating, Qin Si left after not staying for long, and came here specially, it seemed that he wanted Josie to help on Monday, but in fact, he could tell in WeChat that there was no need to make a separate trip.

Josie watched her drive away, and took out the leftover soup on the table and threw it away. When she came back, she saw the gorgeous red tulips, and remembered the scene when she was hiding from the rain in the mall this afternoon. The ones that were taken out were thrown away together.

There were so many flowers that she couldn't hold them, and she almost blocked her sight completely. The rainy road was wet and slippery. She walked carefully, threw all the bouquets into the trash can, and then returned the same way.

There are many puddles on the sidewalk and the road surface is uneven. When she was about to walk to the door of the store, the passing car suddenly honked its horn. fell down.

The weather was fine in the morning, and it was not cold at all. She was wearing cropped trousers, and her bare arms and knees rubbed against the rough ground, causing burning pain. Josie slowed down and took a breath of air before getting up.

The arm was okay, nothing happened, but the knee was miserable, with a dark red spot, and blood was still oozing out.She gritted her teeth, let out a hiss, dragged her legs and walked into the store, went to the toilet to wash briefly, changed into clean clothes, and then came out to deal with the scratches.

There are items for disinfection in the store, so there is no need to go out to buy them.

It was at this time that Fu Bei came. Before entering the door, he saw her put a white leg on the low stool and rub alcohol on herself.

After all, it was only when she went out to throw flowers, and she was already angry. When she found her in, Josie said angrily, "What are you doing here again!"

Alcohol is very irritating to the wound, so after finishing speaking, he smoked.

Fu Bei frowned, "How did you do it?"

The area around the knee of the right leg was really miserable. The cotton swabs used to wipe it were dyed red, and a large scratch looked scary.Josie didn't even want to talk to this person, she just lowered her head to treat the wound. She was afraid of pain since she was a child, so she was so unlucky that she could fall like this while walking, she was really annoyed.

Turn your body away, and you don't want to face each other.

Fu Bei suddenly grabbed her hand, squatted down, and took the cotton swab away from her hand, "Don't move it if you haven't cleaned it up."

This person is wearing high heels, so it's not easy to squat, so she can only half kneel down. She is patient now, but Josie didn't accept it, and kicked her lightly, unwilling to let her do anything, "Who wants your help——"

I just flushed in the toilet, I didn't even wear shoes, my feet and legs were covered with water, and I didn't show mercy at all.
