Chapter 16 Chapter 16

When Feng Jingyou called, Shi Jia was collecting books on the West Second Ring Road.His mother is a high school teacher, and she is quite nervous even if she is not leading a graduating class. At this time, the college entrance examination is over, and another batch of new senior high school students will fill the upper positions despite the scorching heat.

Feng Jingyou was so busy at school and at home that he didn't care about Shi Jia at all.Today, I didn't arrange for evening self-study, so I had time to deliver a meal in the evening: "Son, are you in the bookstore? I made you something to eat, and I will send it to you with your father?"

"I have something to do outside, why don't I go home and eat after a while?"

"I'll go to the town with your dad later, and I can pick you up together. The school is not on holiday yet, so I'll come back after staying for one night. Where are you? Let's go there now?"

Shi Jia ran far away, and the meeting had to wait for someone to meet to get the book. After thinking about it, she still refused: "Then I will go to my dad's when the school is on summer vacation, and I won't go today."

"Then what to do with these dinners, they are all your favorites."

"Where have you been?"

Shi Nanqi said from the side, "Hurry up to the restaurant in front, and cook privately." Shi Jia heard it, and hurriedly said to his mother: "Just wait at the restaurant, I'll ask Brother Chu to help me get it."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Jia called Chu Yuanyi.After dialing twice, they were still on the phone. Chu Yuanyi's call came within a few dozen seconds of holding the phone. Shi Jia quickly answered, "Brother, are you busy?"

"No, the dinner market at the hotel is about to start. I'm about to pick you up, but I can't even call you."

Shi Jia said "Whoah" twice, and the two called each other and they probably bumped into each other by chance: "Are you still in the hotel?"

"It's downstairs, what's the matter?"

"My parents sent me something, it's at the door."

"Then I'll get it for you. Wait a while and I'll pick you up."

Shi Jia put a bag of books on the first floor, and then climbed upstairs to collect books from the last house.The heat of midsummer enveloped the entire residential building, and the dilapidated corridors were narrow and airless. When climbing up to the eighth floor, they were panting like windmills.After resting for a while, I saw a large stack of books piled up at the door.

Shi Jia knocked on the door, and a gust of cold wind gushed out as soon as the door opened, it was too strong, and he would be knocked to the ground if he didn't shake it.Shi Jia rubbed his hands inside the room, and the eldest brother pulled the slippers against the door frame and said, "Come in, don't waste the air conditioner."

"I'll take the books and leave." Having said that, Shi Jia still closed the door honestly and entered the room to take a breather: "I see there are books piled up at your door, do you want to throw them away?"

"Waiting to sell waste paper," the eldest brother brought five or six books from the living room table: "You can pay for this set of books. Anyway, I will keep it and I won't read it again, or I will go back to your store and read it again." Pick something else, it’s okay to change to the same type as me.”

Shi Jia took the book and turned over two pages. The publication year was more than ten years ago, but the pages were still quite new, and there were no corners or creases.Put the books in the schoolbag, and said: "I'll give you six yuan for each book, no more. No one will buy the whole set back and keep it. At most, I will read it."

"Okay, it's troublesome for you to go back and forth in summer. If you don't accept the books, I'll sell this set of books together with the pile at the door. It will take up space at home."

"Are those magazines by the door?"

"There are newspapers and everything, and there are also novels. Everything you want is given to you."

"Then thank you, brother." Shi Jia weighed his schoolbag, and couldn't fit other books in it, and it was supposed to be a martial arts novel, so this would be a bargain: "Brother, do you have any bags that you don't use? "

The man brought him a cloth bag, and Shi Jia opened the door to pack the books.The bag was full of books, and it was difficult to pick them up. The newspapers in the pages were torn out and thrown into the trash can in the corridor.Shi Jia carried her schoolbag on her back and went downstairs: "I'll keep some good novels in the store for you, please visit again."

"Okay," the man gave him a popsicle: "Little brother, let's cool off."

"Thank you, the green mountains don't change and the rivers and rivers flow forever, and we will meet again in the rivers and lakes." Shi Jia stuffed the popsicles in the side pocket of his schoolbag, picked up the bag of books, and ran downstairs.

In addition to the sack of books downstairs, they were all in my hand as if I had just cut firewood.Shi Jia ran to the intersection in one breath against the scorching sun, and when she stopped, she felt that her arm was about to break.Just as he was about to put down his books and take out his cell phone, he saw Chu Yuanyi's car driving into the alley and stopped. Shi Jia couldn't help but waved and came out from the shaded eaves.

Chu Yuan got out of the car and walked towards him, and took two bags of books for him. Shi Jia was reborn, and ran to open the back seat door to let him put the bags.

They all got into the car, surrounded by cold air, Shi Jia sighed with a long "Damn—" and Chu Yuanyi frowned and took a look before taking out the popsicle from his school bag.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, and changed the subject while unpacking: "Did my parents tell you anything?"

As soon as Chu Yuan started the car, he said, "That's a lot. You mentioned me to your parents? As soon as I arrived at the door, my aunt called me."

"Of course I mentioned it. We stay together every day. We talk to my mother when we report the situation. My mother just doesn't know what you look like." The popsicle melted a little, Shi Jia licked the melted sugar water, Bite a bite of ice: "Just now, I said that you are the most handsome at the entrance of the restaurant, just give you the things. Do you want to ask anything else?"

"Ask me if you have been sick recently, have you eaten on time, and whether you are short of money, and I have answered them all."

"My mother likes to ask these questions all the time. Fortunately, I have you, otherwise my mother would not believe some things I said. I am in my twenties and I am not a child. Of course I will take care of myself. Besides, do you care about me? I Mom is just worried."

"Sometimes it's quite childish. It's normal for Auntie to worry about you. It's a precedent to skip breakfast and turn on the air conditioner to your head."

Shi Jia was not happy, and pouted her mouth and said, "Do I still dare to do this now? Are you staring at me from time to time? Where am I going to be cool?" Shi Jia asked three times in a row, holding a popsicle in her left hand and stretching it out. Going to him, comforting myself: "Take a bite, you will lose your fire."

As soon as Chu Yuan didn't look back, he took a bite of the popsicle stretched out in front of him, and when the sweet ice melted, he said, "Yes. You have performed very well during this time, and it is worthy of praise."

Shi Jia raised her eyebrows, happy, and leaned back to eat popsicles.

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Auntie bought you a new set of curtains for you to use in your suite, saying that they are blackout. If they are too big, take them to a tailor shop to change them. There is also a big bag of frozen dumplings."

"Did you put it in the trunk?"

"It's in the back seat, you have to put the refrigerator in quickly."

"Is that so?" Shi Jia turned her head to look at the roads on both sides, and said, "Are you still going to the restaurant tonight? Or let's go home?"

"go home?"

"I'll go back and change the curtains." Shi Jia tugged on her sweat-soaked short sleeves again: "Sweaty, go home and take a shower."

"Then go back."

"My mother's dumplings are very delicious. It's a pity you don't like these stuffed ones. Otherwise, we can eat these for the next few days."

There was a red light ahead, and Chu Yuan stopped to look at Shi Jia. He lowered his head and concentrated on licking the few popsicles left. His lips were tinged with ice, and his white skin was so cute.

Sensing his gaze, Shi Jia turned her head and smiled at him.

When Chu Yuan saw him smiling like this and showing his canine teeth, he felt the same way as when they first met.It's just that time has actually passed for a long time, from the warm early spring to the hot midsummer, I don't care much, the days pass by day by day, the two of them have gone from being strangers to knowing the details of each other's life.Thinking about it carefully, every day is ordinary with a little joy added, and this little joy is accompanied by Shi Jia's smile as sweet as ice cream.

As soon as Chu Yuan stretched out his hand, he touched his lips lightly, as if he was touching that tiger tooth: "Don't be cute."

Shi Jia twitched the corner of her mouth and shouted, "I'm very official!"
