After returning to her home, the first thing she did was to take the potted plants out of the paper bag, and set up a small table by the window, which was originally a random storage table, and then put two pots of mint on it, and then started to tidy up own luggage.Take out the clothes, hang them on the hanger, shake them flat, put them back in the closet, and put the suitcase back into the closet.

After sorting it out, she called Yu Xun.

"Hey Xiaoman, what's the matter, it's rare that I'm on vacation." Yu Xun's voice sounded a little listless, Ji Manli looked at the time, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, thinking in her heart that Yu Xun must have just woken up from a sweet nap.

"No, I'm going back to the north, so I'll let you know."

"It's been too long. It's been several days. It means that I will go back to work the day after tomorrow. I obviously feel that I will go back to work as a hard-earned laborer in the processing zone after a few days."

Ji Manli could almost imagine Yu Xun lazily slumped on the bed with his mobile phone in his hand, all limbs spread apart except his right hand.

"It is always necessary to return to reality, how about going to dinner tonight, I invite you."

"Really?" Hearing that Ji Manli wanted a treat, Yu Xun's voice immediately became more energetic: "I'm going to your friend's shop, and I want drinks and desserts."

"Okay." The corners of Ji Manli's mouth slightly curled up, and her fingers were gently stroking the tender green leaves.

"Why are you suddenly so generous and want to invite me to dinner?"

"I have received a lot of New Year's money, good things should be shared with good friends."

"It's so good, don't get married every year, and be a child every year."

"Who said that only children have to celebrate the New Year? Women of our age need it even more."

"Why do you bring up such a sad thing, I will be one year older next month... From then on, I will join the ranks of Ben San."

"Okay, don't talk about that. If you go tonight, what time is it?"

"Let me think about it, because it's raining recently, it's better not to go home late, and I don't want to go out after taking a shower. How about it, how about 05:30?"

"Okay, then...you can't stay in bed any longer, or you'll be late again, and I'm afraid there will be too many people, otherwise I won't be waiting for you at the station, I'll go directly to the store."

"That's fine, and it's really wet and cold waiting at the station, so it's decided...I'll get up now..."

Ji Manli was thoroughly amused by Yu Xun's helpless and lazy voice, she smiled and said hello, then hung up the phone.

She took off a mint leaf and rubbed it vigorously. She felt very comfortable with the non-pungent cool taste.This smell really resembles Bo Sheng.

Why do you think of Bai Sheng?Ji Manli was puzzled again.These days, Bo Sheng's appearance is like a smell, attached to her mind.Half of her eyelids drooped, and her dark brown eyes flickered a little.She suddenly remembered that on the day they went back to their alma mater, she sat very close to Bo Sheng.This is how her smell penetrated into her nasal cavity and into her memory, but she didn't realize at that time that it was the smell of mint.

Ji Manli left the potted plant with her fingers, walked slowly towards the sofa in the living room, threw herself on it, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.She didn't think about anything, just changed the channel at will, looking for something that could stimulate her.Her hands trembled, and finally she couldn't help but put the remote control back on the table.

Why is there a fear in her heart, a fear she doesn't want to face.This fear comes from her unknown, and now she doesn't know what to do, because she doesn't even know what she is afraid of.Ji Manli sighed softly, a dense fog rose in her mind, covering the truth she longed to know but refused to know.The only thing she knew was that this incident was definitely related to Bai Sheng.

A little bored, she went to the closet and found another pair of clean jeans for herself.The clothes on her body were more or less splashed with sewage, so she changed the pants and threw them into the laundry basket.He took the towel, wet it under the faucet, wrung it dry, wiped his face, and made his tired face look better.

Walking to the refrigerator and opening the door, I looked inside. Two bottles of family size green tea were lying quietly, and there were some other snacks, but there were no fresh ingredients.Ji Manli took her own mug, unscrewed the cap of the PET bottle, poured three-quarters of a cup of green liquid into it, and poured it into her mouth.It was as if she had been wandering in the desert for days without drinking a drop, craving every drop in her glass.

After washing the cup, the boredom in her heart was still not relieved. She thought about all possible solutions to the restlessness, bit her lower lip lightly, and finally came to a conclusion.

She was going to Bo Sheng's shop to see that person, to confirm whether her real feeling was just an inadvertent thought or a vague longing in her heart.Could it be that Bo Sheng was too kind to her, which gave her an illusion of peace of mind?

Ji Manli grabbed her white sports coat, quickly put it on and zipped it up, and took a small shoulder bag and her transparent umbrella.Putting on boots with higher heels, Ji Manli held an umbrella and walked slowly towards the MRT station.

It took Ji Manli about half an hour to arrive at Bo Sheng's shop after more than ten minutes' drive and walking time.She put her * umbrella in the umbrella stand at the entrance of the store, pushed open the glass door and walked into the store.The uproar of voices caught her by surprise, she did not expect there to be so many people in the Bosheng shop.Ji Manli looked around, but found that there was no place, so she simply went outside the store, stood at the door of the store and looked at the gray sky where the rain was falling.

The sharp-eyed clerk saw that it was Ji Manli, knew that she was a friend of the store manager, and hurried to the backstage to inform Bo Sheng.

Bo Sheng was busy arranging the plates, and when he heard the news, his movements obviously paused, then he nodded and said, "Let her come in first, and don't let the wind blow outside."

"Alright shopkeeper!"

Then, after Bai Sheng finished the work at hand, he wiped his hands clean with the cloth towel hanging on his trousers, and walked quickly to the front desk.As soon as he opened the door, he saw the person standing in front of the cake cabinet, staring at the desserts, looking like a little girl.Bo Sheng slowly seeped a warm feeling in his heart, walked to her side, and said: "Would you like to sit upstairs first, it's raining today, and there are so many people, most of them have come in to take a break from the rain."

"Bo Sheng." Ji Manli turned to her, staring straight at her, Bo Sheng was a little flustered by her focused gaze, and couldn't help having a negative premonition in his heart.

What happened, she was puzzled, then her pupils shrank suddenly, her heart was throbbing with extreme unease, did she know?How would she know?She didn't find out even after so long, who told her?

But everything was just Bai Sheng's wild imagination, she watched Ji Manli take a step forward, and said to her in a low voice: "Can I...can I give you a hug?"

This request made Bai Sheng stunned for a long time, and Ji Manli, who originally had thousands of thoughts but finally came to his lips and turned into this sentence, was also frightened by his own words.

What did she just say, did I hear wrong?

Did I just say something, was I too nervous?

Each with a mind, looking at each other.

In the end, it was Bai Sheng who took back the control of the scene first, and asked softly: "What's wrong? There are many people here, and the guests are all watching. Let's go upstairs and talk about it?"

Ji Manli nodded dumbfoundedly, and then followed Bai Sheng, and the two went up to the second floor together.Bo Sheng wanted Ji Manli to sit down first and make a pot of scented tea for her, but she approached her again and said tremblingly: "Bo Sheng, I...I want to confirm one thing."

Bo Sheng's heart beat uncomfortably, what did Ji Manli encounter and what did he want to do?

She didn't expect that the hug Ji Manli said was true, she stood there like a tall and straight bamboo pole, staring at Ji Manli, the man slowly approached her, stretched out his arms, and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

Bo Sheng felt something suddenly exploded in her mind, and the strong energy hit her heart like a pulse, reaching the deepest and darkest place in her heart, and then stirred up a pool of spring water, setting off a huge wave, and the thick current submerged her Killed her, suffocated her.

Her hands became stiff, she thought, but she didn't dare to hug the person who put her cheek on her neckline.

But in just such an instant, the warm and soft touch left.

She met her dark brown eyes and saw her beautifully shaped lips opening and closing.

"The body wash you use smells like mint, right?"

This question made Bo Sheng feel the dull pain of being hit hard on the back of the head, and his heart was sore and astringent. He didn't know whether to be thankful that she didn't know, or sad that she didn't know.

It was still raining outside, and the glass was covered with mist, Bo Sheng suddenly felt that even breathing was too heavy for her at this moment.

But Ji Manli showed her a shy smile, and said: "Well, I'm sorry, I just clarified one thing suddenly today, so..." She laughed embarrassedly: "Because my cousin gave me I bought two potted plants and thought it smelled like you, so I came to check it myself." Blinking, he asked again: "You don't mind, do you?"

Looking at her, Bo Sheng felt a hard object slammed into her throat for a moment, and a sullen breath suddenly surged up.But she still shook her head to her, and said softly: "It's okay." Then she turned around and said, "Then I'll go down and do my work first. If there is a seat, I'll come up and call you. Sit here for a while, refrigerator." There are some desserts inside, take whatever you want.”

After speaking, he opened the door and went downstairs with a thud, the sound of heels banging against the wooden ladder was very loud.

Looking at Bai Sheng's back, Ji Manli was stunned, a trace of guilt suddenly flashed in her heart.She didn't know where the guilt came from, but she suddenly felt that Bai Sheng's appearance when he left just now was a little sad.

But she didn't understand why she was sad.

Does she resist herself?
