shallow to deep

As the weekend approached, the supermarket was always overcrowded, let alone the downtown area, which could be called crowded. Coupled with the frequent activities in the supermarket, it was almost impossible to move away in some places.

Ai Qian pushed the car around as few people as possible, Qin Zishuang followed behind her unhurriedly, with one hand in the pocket of his sports pants and the other holding his mobile phone.

She turned her head slightly and glanced at her from the corner of her eye. The content of the phone call was very brief. Although she couldn't make out what she said specifically, it was obviously related to work.

I have already bought a lot of bottles and cans in the shopping cart. I have nothing at home, so I have to buy everything again, and I can’t leave any oil, salt and monosodium glutamate behind.

As Ai Qian walked, she saw a shelf full of soy sauce. She couldn't tell which brands were good or bad, so she had to look at the prices, chose the one in the middle, and reached out to take it out.

But just as her hand left the shelf, it was suddenly held. She didn't pay attention, and almost lost her grip.

Holding the bottle, she turned her head to look at the person holding her wrist, and saw that her other hand was still holding the phone. Listening to the other party's words, she controlled Ai Qian's wrist, lifted it up a little more, and put the soy sauce back in. went back.

"Send me an email, and I'll look at it later."

Qin Zishuang finally said this and hung up the phone.

Ai Qian had put the things back on the shelf as she wanted, but she still didn't want to let go, she slipped her hand along the side of the shelf, and finally stopped on another brand of soy sauce.

"This is better." She said lightly, and then let go of her hand.

Ai Qian flicked her wrist in the air before picking up the bottle of soy sauce. She looked at the label and ingredient list curiously, but she didn't see any clues from it, so she had to give up.

But if she had to believe that someone like Qin Zishuang, who didn't eat the fireworks of the world, knew this, she would rather believe her because she thought the bottle was more beautiful.

But obviously not.

After picking up the soy sauce, Ai Qian probably ordered some things in the car, thinking that it was almost time to go to the meat and vegetable section.He turned a corner, but his arm was grabbed.

Obviously she didn't see how much strength she used, but Ai Qian could hardly move.

"Did you buy vinegar?"

Ai Qian paused: "Ah, yes, vinegar."

She put the cart on the spot, patted the handlebar, and smiled at Qin Zi: "Look, I'll get it, I'll be right back."

Qin Zishuang looked at her back and chuckled.

Not long after, she came back with a bottle of vinegar and put it in the shopping cart. Before she could put her hands on the handlebars, Qin Zishuang looked at her and said, "Cooking wine."

Ai Qian pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly: "I'll get it again."

This time she came back with cooking wine, put it in the car but did not leave, looked up at Qin Zishuang slightly and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

Qin Zishuang fiddled with the mobile phone in his hand, watching her press the front end of the shopping cart, her legs moved forward and backward, his eyes widened because he looked up, a little innocent.

"No shortage, let's go shopping."

Qin Zishuang looked away, put his hands in his pockets naturally, and left her first.

Zhang Shurong appeared in a hurry when they were picking potatoes. She wore tight leggings with a white sweater, a woolen coat, her hair was draped, and high-top white shoes. She ran and jumped over.

"As soon as I guess it, I know that you are shopping for vegetables. There are so many people today. The car stopped for almost half an hour, hey." Said: "Why are you free today?"

Qin Zishuang had no intention of talking to her at all, and looked up in Ai Qian's direction.

Zhang Shurong also looked over, walked in front of her with a smile, and glanced at her clothes: "School uniforms in the city, high school students?"

Ai Qian nodded: "Hello, sister."

Zhang Shurong patted her on the shoulder and looked back at Qin Zishuang: "You're pretty cute, who is this?"

Qin Zishuang obviously didn't want to answer. Ai Qian understood her character and was about to answer, but Zhang Shurong looked at the potatoes in her hand and said, "I haven't eaten potatoes for a long time, how about stewing potatoes later? Kid, I love them." ?"

Qin Zishuang interrupted: "Her name is Ai Qian."

Zhang Shurong made an ok gesture and ignored these things: "It's been a long time since I cooked." She flipped through the shopping cart, "What did you buy. Eggplant, tomato, green vegetables, onions, what are you cooking?"

She took a breath and hugged Ai Qian's shoulders, "Come on, my sister knows it well, let's add some more."

----

Zhang Shurong's self-acquaintance made the atmosphere a lot more lively. In less than 5 minutes, Ai Qian's conversation with her has already surpassed the month of getting along with Qin Zishuang.

The two were discussing enthusiastically in front, and Qin Zishuang followed behind as before.

When paying the bill, Zhang Shurong gave Qin Zishuang a seat without any politeness and asked her to pay.

Corresponding to the warm air in the supermarket, it was extremely cold outside, so Ai Qian tightened her school uniform.

The supermarket was only 10 minutes' walk away from home, Zhang Shurong went to drive, and there were only the two of them left.

After buying three bags, Qin Zishuang divided two bags, and Ai Qian naturally took the lightest one. She was like a little follower, moving with her in the crowd.

When she returned to the community, her sight became brighter. Ai Qian looked at her back but suddenly felt embarrassed. She stepped forward to hook the lighter bag in her left hand, and pulled it out: "Leave the light one to me." Bar."

Qin Zishuang did not refuse and let her go.He glanced at her, but walked around in front of her, blocking her way.

Unexpectedly, Ai Qian paused, watching her put the shopping bag aside, and then slowly squat down while kneeling on one leg.

The cold wind at night was blowing hard, and the street lamps were shining in the evening when the sun was gone. Her shadow gathered on the ground and formed an irregular circle. Her random hair was loosely draped over her shoulders in the shape of a ponytail. I don’t know where to hit it The coming wind blew a few of her untied bangs slightly swaying.

Ai Qian didn't realize that her shoelaces were untied until she stretched out her hand to get close to her feet.

Probably when they were pushing and yelling at the supermarket, they accidentally dispersed.

"I'll do it myself." Knowing Qin Zishuang's movements, Ai Qian was a little embarrassed. Since she was a child, few people tied her shoelaces like this.

But she ignored her, and didn't even bother to answer. The two straps were looped around her index finger and thumb, and they were firmly tied within a few seconds.

Then she stretched out her hand to the other shoe, but Ai Qian saw with her own eyes that the shoelaces were in good condition.

She backed away a little timidly, and what she got was her low words.

"do not move."

Qin Zi stretched out his hands to grab the two ends of the bow and tightened it a bit.

After finishing it, she stood up immediately, and looked back at Yan Aiqian's shoes in the process, seeming to be satisfied, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, then put one hand in her pocket, and picked up the bag on the ground with the other hand, and walked forward.

Ai Qian was stunned for a few seconds behind her before realizing to follow.

When she returned home, she looked down at the shoes from time to time, always felt that something was wrong but couldn't tell, obviously these shoes were still the same shoes, could it be that Qin Zishuang touched them and made them wear better?

She laughed blankly.

------

Ai Qian followed Qin Zishuang into the house. The one after the other made her feel at home, but when the person in front of her turned on the light, the bright living room and the low-key and noble decoration brought her so-called feeling back to reality .

The two carried their bags to the kitchen, and Zhang Shurong followed. They complained for a while, the supermarket, then the parking garage, then the dim streetlights in the neighborhood, and finally the weather.

Ai Qian lowered her head and smiled. With her in the atmosphere, she finally became more active and not so dull, but she never expected that a person like Qin Zishuang would make friends with such opposite personalities.

The three of them were sorting out the things they bought, Zhang Shurong took care of all the dishes, while Ai Qian and Qin Zishuang were cooperating, one was holding the eggs, and the other was putting them into the compartment of the refrigerator.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and a silent tacit understanding spread in the air.

After everything in the bag was settled, Ai Qian rolled up her sleeves and wanted to wash the vegetables, but was stopped by someone.

"Come to my study and bring your papers for this time." Qin Zi double closed the refrigerator and left without saying this.

Ai Qian turned off the faucet, watched Qin Zishuang's leaving back, and swallowed her saliva.

"Little Qianqian, did you fail the exam?" Zhang Shurong came forward curiously, and poked her with his shoulder.

Ai Qian gave her a tongue sticking expression, shrugged and said, "The test was terrible."

Zhang Shurong's hands were covered with water. He wanted to rub her bangs, but he had no choice but to give up. He looked at her with his lips pursed and whispered, "I sympathize with you." She looked outside the kitchen to make sure that Qin Zishuang had left, and asked again: " But how could she suddenly care about children's studies, are you her cousin? I haven't even seen you. "

Ai Qian shook her head: "It's not my cousin." And we met before, but you just forgot.

Zhang Shurong hurriedly asked again: "Who is that relative?"

Ai Qian thought about the relationship, and explained: "It's not a relative, her sister Qin Ziyi and my mother." She paused: "She and my mother are good friends."

Zhang Shurong was surprised, the water in her unconscious hand had already dripped on Ai Qian's school uniform, Ai Qian wiped her hand calmly, her face was cold, and she heard her say: "Not even relatives, such a distant relationship, she He even cared about you and let you stay at home." Speaking of this, Zhang Shurong suddenly stopped and looked at Ai Qian with a strange smile: "There will be no between you..." She raised her eyebrows at Ai Qian.

Ai Qian didn't understand what was behind her, so she stared blankly at her.

Zhang Shurong coughed, only to realize that she was speechless, she was a high school student: "Hurry up, it's scary for Qin Zishuang to get angry."

Having said that, Ai Qian naturally didn't dare to delay any longer, took the hand towel aside and wiped her hands casually, and immediately left the kitchen.

What Zhang Shurong said just now was still in her ears.

She is willing to take care of you and let you live at home.

Ai Qian laughed and shook her head, how could it be possible, if it wasn't for Aunt Qin Ziyi, she wouldn't know where to settle down now, she still remembers how cautious she was when she came in on the first day, and Qin Zishuang's impatient eyes, and then just a month later There was no sign of her.

She didn't want to control her, she obviously wanted to get rid of this troublesome ghost quickly.
