Chestnuts are ripe

The day before Valentine's Day, many customers came to the store to pick up the goods and prepare them for their girlfriends.

The time gradually reached 10 o'clock in the evening, and the music for closing business in the shopping mall sounded softly. The crowd at the gate had already started to go out, but Chen Fang still didn't wait for Mr. Xue.

He took out his phone and looked at it, but there was still no news.

Maybe it's because the meeting hasn't finished yet... Chen Fang comforted himself in this way, and subconsciously found an excuse for the other party.

In the store, in order to prepare for harvesting your wallets on Valentine's Day tomorrow, the tellers in the store are checking the inventory, and they have to place the more suitable styles on the counter that can be seen at the entrance in advance.

Chen Fang took the folder and checked the goods, and when he looked up again, he vaguely saw a tall and straight figure standing outside the gate.

"Boss Xue!" When Chen Fang went up to greet him, he didn't realize where the joy he was bursting out of for no reason came from, and the smile on his face was even brighter than usual, "You are here!"

Bright eyes and white teeth, thin lips slightly pursed, and the small mole on the corner of the mouth is also slightly raised, and the moment he smiled, Xue Lin's attention was drawn away.As if his eyes were dazzled by his smile, Xue Lin's tired mood was suddenly resolved by this smile, and the corners of his mouth, which had been tensed all day, finally relaxed, and he couldn't help but lift up slightly just looking at the person in front of him.

"Well, I kept you waiting."

His voice was low, with a slight smile that Chen Fang could hear.Chen Fang lowered his head, and a blush slowly climbed to the tips of his ears.

That tingling feeling crawled over the top of my heart... Chen Fang turned around and led the way on his side, feeling guilty for no reason, not daring to look back at him.

Xue Lin reached out and squeezed the bow tie under the shirt, thinking that his decision to change into a suit before leaving get off work was still very wise—otherwise, in such a closed space in the store, the suit smelled in the cologne for a day, Must smell bad.

No matter what, in front of him, Xue Lin just wanted to show his best side.

Standing in the VIP room, Xue Lin casually glanced at the items on the container. Seeing the pearl necklaces on the jewelry counter illuminated by the display lights, each one was crystal clear and jade-like. Thinking that her mother also had a pearl necklace, she couldn’t help but look at it more. I took a few glances.

When Chen Fang came out with the goods, he saw Xue Lin leaning against the jewelry counter and looking at them, seeming very interested.

"These jewelry stores are all in stock. If Mr. Xue wants to gift his girlfriend tomorrow, he will be in time."

Seeing him coming out, Xue Lin stood up straight, raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise after hearing such words, looked at the person in front of him with a faint smile, and said, "I don't have a girlfriend to give."

"Really?" Chen Fang subconsciously asked back.

His tone was raised, with some doubts of disbelief, and joy that Chen Fang himself did not realize.

As if pleased by his questioning tone, Xue Lin smiled softly a few times, stopped smiling before Chen Fang felt embarrassed, and answered seriously without the slightest bit of mind: "Really, I don't have a girlfriend."

Realizing that he lost his composure just now, Chen Fang's mind is now full of the idea of ​​finding a crack in the ground to sneak in.She shivered as if being burned by what he said, looked up at Xue Lin, and said embarrassingly: "Mr. Xue, Mr. Xue is so good, there will definitely be some in the future."

"Well," is it okay to have a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend?

When the words came to his lips, he was afraid that he would scare the other party too suddenly, so he hurriedly stopped. Seeing his blushing, Xue Lin felt a little trembling in his heart, paused for a while, and then replied in a polite manner: "Thank you."

The atmosphere between the two was a bit weird for a while, and Chen Fang stood there in a daze and thought for a long time before realizing that Xue Lin, who had already got the goods, was still standing and had no intention of leaving. mean.

Chen Fang pulled down his suit jacket indiscriminately, and asked, "Boss Xue, shall I see you off?"

Xue Lin sighed in his heart, looked at Chen Fang who was clearly at a loss in front of him, and responded before the other's face almost turned into a tomato, and then slowly and reluctantly followed him out.

Brother Wang, who was counting the goods in the warehouse, came out and bumped into Chen Fang. Regardless of the customers behind him, he asked directly, "Hey Chen Fang, I just checked the duty list. Aren't you off duty this afternoon?"

"Ah, oh... yes, I changed." Surprised by Brother Wang's voice, Chen Fang almost bit his own tongue.

Xue Lin, who was following behind him, heard their conversation clearly, and asked, "Is it because... I said I would come over to pick up the goods tonight?"

"Huh?" Chen Fang turned around, and hurriedly explained after realizing it: "Ah, no, the senior in the store has something to do at night, so he changed shifts with me."

"Really?" Xue Lin stared at his face, trying to judge whether he was lying or not from the clues of the expression on his face.

The other party looked at him with ambiguous eyes, and described his face carefully, as if he wanted to engrave his own face into his mind, and refused to let go of even a little detail.

This made Chen Fang a little overwhelmed.

He really didn't know why he didn't dare to look into Xue Lin's eyes until today—every time he was mentally prepared, he would still lose the battle the moment his eyes met and look away: obviously he didn't know anything. I didn't do it, but why would I feel guilty in front of him!

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting so late." Xue Lin still frowned slightly, as if he cared about this matter very much.

"No, it doesn't matter, Mr. Xue, you are too polite." After sending him to the door of the store, Chen Fang secretly hated his clumsy tongue for the first time, tangled in his mind for a long time, and finally gave up explaining, just Stumbled to say such words.

Xue Lin stood at the door, looking down at the polished marble floor, hesitating to leave.

But he really couldn't find any reason to stay, just to stay with him for a while, he insisted on standing in an awkward atmosphere, without saying a word, and refusing to leave.

If he didn't take the initiative to leave, Chen Fang was too embarrassed to drive him away, and out of politeness, he didn't want to turn around and leave.

Standing opposite him, Chen Fang didn't dare to look up into the other's eyes, so he could only lower his eyes slightly, looking at the very neat and beautiful blue bow tie tied under the collar of his shirt.

The two big men just stood at the door, neither of them spoke, as if they were playing with wooden figures.

It wasn't until the wind blowing in from the door passage carried the chill outside and blew Chen Fang's feverish head a little bit soberly, and he didn't notice that because of the long delay, some colleagues in the store couldn't hold back their curiosity and excitement. Gossip, looking over from time to time, and then hastily opened his mouth to break the deadlock: "Mr. Xue...does Mr. Xue have any other needs?"

Those beautiful eyes stared at him for a short moment, then quickly moved away.Xue Lin looked at his slightly lowered and dodged eyes, and couldn't help shaking the hands hanging on both sides lightly, as if restraining his own unreasonable thoughts, subconsciously reminded: "It's windy outside, you Wear extra clothes when you leave work."

"Ah, um, okay."

"Then, I'll go first."

"Okay, welcome next time."

When he returned to the store, Chen Fang almost felt that half a century had passed.He couldn't help touching his hot earlobe, and picked up the folder again to count the goods.

Seeing that he had finally returned to the store, the male senior brother Wang in the store leaned forward gossipingly and asked, "Hey, Xiao Chen, what were you chatting with Boss Xue at the door of the store just now? We stood there for so long?"

"Huh? No, nothing to talk about..."

"How is it possible?" Brother Wang said with an expression of "don't hide it from me", "What are you talking about, you two are still standing in front of the store for so long? Besides, how can a busy person like Mr. Xue have time to talk to you?" Are you pretending to be a stone lion at the door?"

"Why, is the president's time worth millions every minute?" The female colleague who watched the excitement laughed and said, "Old Wang, you should hurry up and work, let us delay here for an extra minute, I'll curse you for the worst sales in the store this month."

"Wow, don't be so cruel!"

The others laughed and made noise, and brought this matter up.Chen Fang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but think of Xue Lin.

His eyes are very beautiful, like... Chen Fang was a little distracted, his eyes wandered, and he thought of the way Xue Lin was staring at the string of pearl necklaces just now, his eyes were like pure black pearls, under the soft light , as if a layer of halo lazily attached to the body.

When he turned around and chuckled to himself, Chen Fang's heart beat unavoidably.

When he looked at others, was he also so focused?

Chen Fang shook his head, forcing himself to focus on the current inventory and stop thinking about those messy things.

After checking the inventory, everyone changed their clothes without any hesitation and left work quickly.Chen Fang stayed at the end, and after confirming that all the cabinet doors were locked, he turned around and locked the store door, and walked out slowly.

In the big shopping mall that cleared the venue, half of the lighting systems have been turned off.The bustling shopping mall in the daytime is now silent in the dark, silent.

Chen Fang looked back at the dark place at the end of the shopping mall, took a deep breath to calm down, and then walked slowly, step by step, to the small staff passage door with the lights on.

Taking out her mobile phone, Chen Fang clicked on the avatar named "Jiaojiao" in the top bar of WeChat, and asked her about whether her tooth still hurts, but only got a cold "no" answer from the other party.

Chen Fang was struggling with how to communicate more with his little sister, frowning slightly while looking at the screen in thought.The hand holding the mobile phone was only exposed for a short while before it was too cold, he hurriedly put his right hand into his pocket, put on his less stiff left hand and slowly tapped on the mobile phone: "When will you save the quality inspection? "

Looking at the lonely dialogue column, afraid that his tone of questioning would be too blunt and would put too much pressure on his sister, Chen Fang slowly typed: "Go to bed early at night, don't stress too much."

"Dudu..."

The sudden sound of car horns was particularly obvious in the quiet street, which startled Chen Fang.

He turned his head to see which reckless driver it was, and saw Xue Lin through the open co-pilot window when the car was parked.

Xue Lin was a little funny when he saw his eyes widen when he was frightened: "Scared you?"

"Ah, no," Chen Fang came back to his senses, put the phone back into his coat pocket, "Mr. Xue is off work?"

"I'm sorry to make you come off work so late tonight, or... I'll give you a ride?"

"Ah, don't be so troublesome!" Chen Fang subconsciously rejected the other party without even thinking about it, "I, where I live, is just ahead, and I can walk there, so don't bother Mr. Xue."

"In front?" Xue Lin raised his eyebrows. The houses not far in front, no matter how old they are, have a lot of price increases due to the business district. Thinking about the information he saw before, what Xue Lin said to Chen Fang But I don't believe it at all.

"Really, it's right in front, that, that Luyang community." Chen Fang gestured with his hands for the exact location of that community, hoping that his poor acting skills would slightly persuade the person in front of him to give up this idea. Sincerely tried to blink a few times.

"It's so cold, are you sure you don't want me to give you a ride?" Looking at his reddened nose, Xue Lin asked again, "Don't catch a cold."

After getting the affirmative nod from the other party, Xue Lin didn't insist anymore, but just sighed with regret: "Okay then."

A car came from behind, and he honked the horn to Xue Lin who was blocking the road ahead. Seeing this, Chen Fang hurriedly said, "Boss Xue, hurry up, the car behind is blocked."

"Come here." Xue Lin didn't mind at all, and waved to him.

The car waiting behind sounded its horn to urge again, and Chen Fang became anxious, but he didn't hear what the other party was saying, so he subconsciously moved to the side of the car, but a bag of hot things was suddenly stuffed into his arms.

"The chestnuts you just bought, you can just cover your hands." Xue Lin said this with a very natural expression, as if he had known Chen Fang for a long time, and Chen Fang didn't react for a while.When he raised his head again, Xue Lin stepped on the accelerator and left.

The paper bag in his hand exuded the sweet aroma of caramel mixed with the softness of chestnuts, and his knuckles, which were a little stiff, were warmed by the freshly fried chestnuts.Chen Fang put it in his pocket stupidly, and took a few steps forward in a daze.

Ah, someone stuffed a bag of chestnuts.

The tip of the nose was filled with the warm sweet aroma of chestnuts, and Chen Fang suddenly blushed belatedly.

Just a bag of chestnuts.

But why am I blushing!
