city ​​blackout in fantasy

4.

An Qi really doubts that Xiao Baobao was raised by a rich man in disguise. With such a leisurely job and such good treatment, this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing is suspicious no matter how you look at it. After all, Xiao Baobao is also a The age is just right, and she is also a kind of good-looking gentle girl...

Worrying is unnecessary. An Qi left breakfast and a note for Xiao Baobao who stayed overnight yesterday, and hurried out the door with her bag, feeling that she didn't need to worry about anything. There is nothing to worry about Xiao Baobao. Nothing will happen to her. I don't think anyone can hurt her. If something happens to her one day, the world will become a horrible place.An Qi was bouncing around in the bus and yawning while holding on to the ring, thinking that she should worry about herself. A low-level white-collar worker working hard in this city, among all living beings, only one person is Xiao Baobao.

Jun Zizui, who was slightly suspected of being the boss with ulterior motives, was not in the cafe today, nor did Lu Tu and Zhou Jianguo. She went to work at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, and the cafe had a sign saying it was open, but Lu Lan was the only customer. exist.

Seeing Lu Lan wearing earphones and devoting himself to work, Xiao Baobao was very worried about how embarrassing it would be if there were other people visiting at this time, and he probably suspected that he had broken into a private house by mistake...

Xiao Baobao changed into the new work clothes Jun Zizui had given her the day before and had just tied up her apron. Lu Lan walked to the bar with a mug in her hand like a radar.

"coffee?"

"Ah."

She put the cup with half a cup of coffee left on the countertop, and simply sat here to rest, watching Xiao Baobao make coffee.

"The coffee your boss makes is terrible..."

The outdoor temperature is very high, and the indoor air conditioner is fully turned on. After changing clothes, Xiao Baobao felt that the pores of his whole body shrank back and forth under this temperature difference.

She weighed the kettle and felt relieved to make sure that the water in it had just been boiled. It seemed that the three of them had just left in no time. The hot water had already turned into lukewarm water. She poured it into Lu Lan, and then began to drink slowly. Wash your hands and scrub the flasks and filters that have not been cleaned up after the gentleman is drunk.

Lu Lan drank two sips of warm water, felt the taste in his mouth was a bit bland, so he pushed it aside and knocked on the wooden countertop with one hand, which seemed very strange in the quiet space where the air conditioner was noisy. irritable.Baby Xiao looked back feeling helpless, cut a slice of lemon for her and threw it into the cup.

"coffee?"

After drinking the slightly sour lemonade, Lu Lan began to hesitate about Baby Xiao's repeated questions.

"...Give me fruit tea."

Baby Xiao didn't want to make coffee today, maybe it was too hot outside, and she still had the anxiety caused by the scorching sun hidden in her lungs after riding a bike.

Lu Lan was working on a manuscript at the end of the month. Her temples began to ache from the exhaustion of work all morning. The root of her tongue was full of dry and bitter taste. The sour and fragrant fruit tea made her feel that she should take a break. It became much smoother. She watched her work spread to the editor through the Internet, listened to Xiao Baobao's soft guitar ballad, leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes.

Xiao Baobao poured water and lemon into a large glass jar, and kept a small glass of lemonade for himself.There are several bags of nuts piled up on the counter, walnuts, pine nuts, hazelnuts and almonds, fried just right with cracks in the shells.Here she sits, pulls out her plates and starts peeling off their tough husks...

Time passed without rush, and Lu Lan felt that she had taken a nap. When she woke up, her head was no longer hurting, her spirit was good and her body was not so tired. The half-drinked fruit tea on the table seemed to be a little bit better. Tired, she wants to drink something lighter.

Xiao Baobao was short, buried his head in the bar counter shelling nuts, and couldn't see anyone at a glance. When she heard footsteps poking her head out, Lu Lan was startled.

"How long have I slept?"

"Less than two hours."

Xiao Baobao put the glass in front of Lu Lan, held up the big glass bottle with both hands, and poured a glass of lemonade into the glass cautiously and clumsily.Lemon slices with green peel look very nice in a transparent bottle in transparent water, like literary pictures on the Internet.Lu Lan's mouth dryness caused by sleep immediately relieved after taking two sips, and the laziness of waking up gradually disappeared.

"I'm hungry……"

she says.

Xiao Baobao brought out a small plate of peeled nuts, and every fruit in the white plate was intact, round and plump.

It was almost four o'clock, and Lu Lan thought that he could call it a day and go home. It seemed that there was no point in being alone. It seemed better to stay here and chew a few nuts and wait for dinner.

Xiao Baobao seemed to be a quiet person, and she stopped peeling nuts, and the temperature of the empty space was adjusted to an acceptable temperature. She cut some apples and put them on the bar, obviously Lu Lan didn't want to eat them.

The door was pushed open, Gentleman Drunk came in with a gust of heat from the outside, and took a few steps to sit on the high stool next to Lu Lan, Xiao Baobao just put the poured lemonade in front of her.

I was just thirsty and drank a glass of it, which relieved the heat and fatigue.No matter what the real reason is, Gentleman Drunk feels at this moment that hiring Xiao Baobao is the most correct decision he made this year.

Lu Tu and Zhou Jianguo followed into the store, and they sat at the table closest to the bar. Gentleman Drunk watched Xiao Baobao carefully holding up the big glass bottle and pouring water. The action was a little clumsy, which did not match the delicious taste, and made her feel uncomfortable. Recalling the shoelaces that were almost entangled with her hair when they first met, she had a serious and focused expression, which made this clumsiness seem particularly precious, and the heavy water bottle trembled slightly when held in mid-air by those thin and thin arms , I was also embarrassed to go forward to help, worried that I would fail her hard work.

As the water dwindled, the second glass of water became easier. Xiao Baobao walked out of the bar with two glasses of lemonade. Junzi couldn't help but cast his eyes at her feet, and changed into a pair of clean white cloth shoes. The shoelaces were still loose, and after walking a few steps, the shoelaces on his left foot fell out to one side.

Forcing myself to act as if I didn't see it, Jun Zizui felt that he was extremely uncomfortable. Could it be that he had obsessive-compulsive disorder?

"The people in this store should be doing very interesting work, but I don't think it's a good job. Lu Tu and Brother Zhou's faces turned purple from the sun. Listening to them, it seems that the matter has been perfectly resolved, but they are in a particularly bad mood. The boss is quite happy, when I was leaving, she agreed to open a bottle of wine..."

Maybe it was because he barely talked to anyone the first day, Xiao Baobao, who was in school all day today, inexplicably started chattering to Zeng Yu, who was serious about taking notes. Seriously, it’s okay to plan the key points of this kind of class, and I’m doing my best to copy some theories that the teacher has compiled, and at the same time listen to what Xiao Baobao did in the cafe these days.

"Walnuts are very difficult to peel, they are always broken into small pieces. Every time I peel a good plate, I eat the broken plate..."

"That's good too. Nuts are high in calories, and you're just going to gain weight."

"But you have to drink good coffee every day, and your metabolism is fast."

This kind of non-nutritive conversation is simply not like a scholar and a maverick are talking, but they just passed the noon accompanied by the singing of cicadas.

Staying at school all day and chatting about everything, two people sitting in the cafeteria at noon have no appetite, the hot weather is accompanied by the smell of oil in the air, the drowsy chatting all morning did not consume much energy, the two of them ate An apple, there is a feeling that I can no longer get fat.

"Hurry up, we have to pack up early..."

The two boys sat down at the two adjacent tables with their dinner trays in their hands, and began to gobble it up. They wiped out the entire plate of fried rice within a few minutes.Xiao Baobao had a slightly surprised expression on his face, and stared at them all the way without concealment. There are really people who can eat so much in such weather. Seeing one of the boys still eating chicken legs happily, she felt a kind of sincere envy.

"I really want to have a good appetite..."

"I hope, too, that you have become a refugee..."

Zeng Yu was very embarrassed. After being stared at during the meal, he sighed like this again. The two boys had already looked over while gnawing on the chicken legs.

"Primary school girl, if you can't eat, do you want to eat ice cream together?"

Looking at the smiling faces of the two boys, they didn't look like good guys no matter what, and they were so ruffian when they struck up a conversation, Zeng Yu had already branded them as two scumbags in his heart.

"Okay!"

Xiao Baobao answered quickly, Zeng Yu couldn't get up and down with a mouthful of apple stuck in her throat, her face flushed from holding back.

"But we should be senior sisters, and you should be sophomores."

"real or fake!"

Zeng Yu started to roll her eyes secretly when she started the conversation with them. If one of the parties is not Xiao Baobao, this kind of beginning may give birth to a period of JQ, but once there is Xiao Baobao, it means In the afternoon, she, a perennial nerd, is likely to have a trip outside the classroom or the library.

"Are you going to help the repertory troupe?"

"Yes, yes, the repertory troupe is going to open a new play. People from the Department of Music, Department of Performance, and Dance Department are all participating. Let's volunteer to help."

One of the boys wearing a baseball cap spoke as fast as he was courteous, and didn't even realize that there was something wrong with saying so much to a strange senior. The other boy kept watching with a smile, as if he was honest and honest.

"Even the exchange students who just happened to come back from last year, we just went to join in the fun."

Right here, upon hearing that the exchange student Zeng Yu immediately lifted his spirits, he had the urge to flee back to the library right now.Sure enough, Baby Xiao smiled brightly and said:

"Then take us there."

"Eh?"

Regarding this direction, the boy who had been talking nonstop just now was a little confused, but the other boy who had been smiling very honestly answered very frankly.

"Okay."

Raccoons of a feather are really not good stuff. Zeng Yu was still thinking how to find an excuse to disappear quickly, so she surrendered to Xiao Baobao's eyes. Making excuses in front of Xiao Baobao may be the most stupid thing. It will expose you, but the look in your eyes will make you nowhere to hide. In order not to let yourself live with a sense of guilt, Zeng Yu gave up this idea.

On the way to the repertory troupe, I finally found out the names of these two good buddies. The one who can speak well is called Sun Ka, and the one who looks a bit naive is called Zhao Xi. The two of them are in a class and a dormitory, just like Xiao Baobao said. Second, a scumbag in the computer science department, it sounds like Huatou is a master of eating, drinking and having fun.

Xiao Baobao, who had achieved his goal, calmed down. He might have said enough today.But with that Sun Ka around, he wouldn’t stand in the cold, and no one could figure out how he started talking about the food stall in front of the school from the time he introduced himself to now, and now he started gossip about Aunt Liu’s son…

That Zhao Xi actually bought ice for them on the way, Xiao Baobao didn't mean to refuse Zeng Yu took advantage of this, eating a cup of strawberry shaved ice in the hot summer is better than non-stop gossip Quite a few.

Zeng Yu firmly believed in her heart that these two were scumbags.

Their school can be regarded as a well-known comprehensive university in this province. Zeng Yu came here because she was a top student because she made a mistake in the college entrance examination, and Xiao Baobao probably got shit luck. She came here to find An Qi. Qi pointed her to a university and she got in. All her high school teachers thought she cheated, but her friends didn't think so. What happened to Xiao Baobao was normal.

This comprehensive university is most famous for its Department of Dance. It probably borrowed the light of the city’s ethnic minorities, and even the disciplines of art are justified. There are one or two exchange student qualifications every year.

Sun Ka, the organization teacher and the head of the group used the excuse of bringing them to help, and let them enter the arena easily. The two boys were arrested as coolies as soon as they entered.Xiao Baobao and Zeng Yu were mixed in. It must be a joke to work hard. The two of them stood in the corner and watched the chaos of the rehearsal. Until the violin-playing exchange student from the music department came to the rehearsal, Xiao Baobao's eyes lit up. .

It really was Jiang Yiyi.

As for Jiang Yiyi, he is a celebrity in this school. During the freshman welcome party, with his beautiful face and playing the violin, he conquered the pheromones of all male creatures and the maternal love of female creatures present.

But Zeng Baobao noticed that she was already halfway through that semester, and Zeng Yu, who had been a classmate for more than a year, just had a sudden friendship with her just a few days ago.

One day when they were in the library, Zeng Baobao suddenly took her hand.

"Yuyu, look, what a beautiful girl!"

"what?"

Before Zeng Yu found the figure of the good-looking girl she said, she let go of her hand just after being held, and then watched Xiao Baobao walk directly opposite a girl and sat down.

Zeng Yu still admires Jiang Yiyi very much for this. When she shuttled through the bookshelves for a while and moved a stack of books and sat next to Xiao Baobao, Xiao Baobao was staring at Jiang Yiyi with his chin propped up. After a two-page record of a book, he looked up, Xiao Baobao stared at Jiang Yiyi with his chin resting on his other hand.

As for Jiang Yiyi, she didn't seem to realize that someone was staring at her like a pervert in such an upright manner. She didn't know if she was really nervous or had a strong psychological quality. She kept memorizing theories and reading books on her own. , Until it was almost dark, I packed up my things and planned to leave, completely ignoring the person sitting opposite.

Only then did Xiao Baobao open his mouth.

"Student, my name is Xiao Baobao, please invite me to dinner."

That's right, it's not me asking you, it's you asking me.

To this day, neither Zeng Yu nor Jiang Yiyi himself can understand how they agreed to such a brazen request at that time.

On that day, Baby Xiao abandoned Zeng Yu, her only good friend in college, and An Qi, the caring young lady who was waiting for her to go home for dinner, and instead had a meal at the new school belle Jiang Yiyi.

Later, when there was nothing to do, Zeng Baobao often went to watch Jiang Yiyi practice the piano when he was free, and then had a meal, knowing that Jiang Yiyi had successfully applied for the exchange student quota and went abroad.

As for love at first sight, there is no such thing as love at first sight. Xiao Baobao likes Jiang Yiyi's face, Jiang Yiyi's violin playing, especially Bach's etude in G minor. Hours are the same.Occasionally, Zeng Yu would feel aggrieved by herself and Jiang Yiyi, who also began to like to stay with Xiao Baobao. What do you think this Xiao Baobao has? She might not have the so-called emotional bondage at all, she is too simple I like certain things or human qualities, my own words, Jiang Yiyi's face and the violin, but they have these qualities, but they have been tightly held by her.

Perhaps Jiang Yiyi was even more pitiful. Zeng Yu wanted to balance his mind so much. As a little local tyrant, he almost kept Baby Xiao eating and drinking for a few months. As a result, Baby Xiao didn't even send him a gift when he left the country.

"you really……"

Zeng Yu couldn't find a suitable adjective to reason with Xiao Baobao, Xiao Baobao's voice was calm and stable:

"She'll always come back."

After watching the excitement for half an afternoon, and recalling the past, Zeng Yu flipped through the literary novels he carried with him for two hours, and the rehearsal was finally over.

Miss Xiaohua, who had just returned to China, was still very popular. She was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. A group of people discussed heatedly for a while whether it was barbecue or shabu-shabu. One finally walked out from the crowd.

"Yiyi, treat me to dinner."

"it is good."

Such a quick answer shocked Sun Ka, who was very sloppy after working all afternoon, even dropped his hat.

Zeng Yu didn't mean it this time, she really rolled her eyes, and she was abandoned by her good friend in front of her beauty, so she gave her a pertinent evaluation:

"shameless……"

The author has something to say:

I found that my pace of writing was getting slower and slower, and I was really worried that one day I would fall asleep reading what I wrote...
