Beauty has a lot of bad thoughts

Outside the blue-black glass windows of the two buildings, there are two blood-red Chinese characters.

On the left is "Zhi" and on the right is "Love".

Xue Dingbang counted, there is the thirteenth floor on the left, and the fourteenth floor on the right.Such a large stationery store is rare even in Japan.A huge red banner was hung outside the glass wall, with slogans such as the grand opening celebration written on it.

In addition to the passage connecting the two buildings between the middle and the top floor, the lobby on the first floor is also connected together to increase the business area.

There are quite a few people in the new store, and there is a good smell in the decoration.

Smells like cedar wood.

Xue Dingbang walked in, and the bright and spacious store was full of goods.Xue Dingbang walked to the map of the floor, where the shop selling chalk was marked, which was at No. 42 store in Building A.

"Store No. 42?" Chamberlain came over to talk, very puzzled, "Where is that?"

"On the fourth floor." Xue Dingbang said, "On the left are odd-numbered stores, and on the right are even-numbered stores. Let's take the elevator up."

42 pieces of chalk, store No. 42, re-production of chalk that has been discontinued for a long time, a new store...

Xue Dingbang stood behind the elevator lady, lowered his eyelashes and stared at the crooked scenery in the glass. .Chamberlain was standing next to the elevator lady, his head drooping, looking listless.As the viewing elevator slowly ascended, Chamberlain took small steps and gently bumped Xue Dingbang's shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Noticing that Chamberlain's gait was unsteady, Xue Dingbang held his body with concern in his eyes. "Are there any discomforts?"

The man in his arms who had eyebrows and eyes very similar to Yin Ren lowered his eyes, leaned weakly on Xue Dingbang's shoulder, and said softly and sadly, "I'm dizzy."

Xue Dingbang stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, the temperature of his hand was unbelievably hot.

"You have a fever." Xue Dingbang said, "Have you taken the medicine I bought for you?"

"I've eaten, Mr. Xue." Chamberlain closed his eyes slightly, panting lightly against Xue Dingbang's shoulder, "It's probably just that I've blown the cold wind for a while, so I have some headaches. I just need an aspirin."

Xue Dingbang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that since Chamberlain called him, he had been standing in the cold wind and waiting.And myself, who was still seriously ill, stood there waiting for him?

"I was negligent. Don't worry," Xue Dingbang said, "I'll go buy medicine for you right away."

The elevator lady helped to support Chamberlain and pointed the way to Xue Dingbang: "There is a lounge next to store No. 42. There is hot water and sofas there. Please go there and rest for a while."

Xue Dingbang thanked him, and took Chamberlain to walk towards the No. 42 store in big strides.

The rest area is not difficult to find, you can see the sign when you look up.The logistics of the shopping mall also followed in time, leading the way for Xue Dingbang.Now Xue Dingbang has no intention to pursue the chalk that appeared out of thin air, and he didn't even take a look at the chalk specialty store when he passed by.

He walked fast, as if nothing could stop him.

Except for this rest area that looks so familiar.

If it wasn't for something wrong with Xue Dingbang's eyes, then the rest area that appeared in front of him was clearly a replica of Yin Ren's study!

That's right, it was Yin Ren's study in his villa on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Xue Dingbang is so familiar with everything in it.The position of the bookcase, the height of the fireplace, the vinyl record gramophone, the old American coffee pot ten years ago, and even the green blackboard that Schrödingbang usually puts in the study.All the details are exactly the same.Not only does it look the same, but the location has not changed.Behind Yin Ren's desk is Yin Ren's favorite chair.Papers and newspapers were piled on the table, along with dip pens and glasses cases.

However, they are all fake.

The rest area is a semi-open area with low walls on three sides, separated by bookcases and a fireplace.The books on the bookcase are all cardboard, not a real book, they are just decorations.The phonograph is also a model and does not have the function of playing music, and the vinyl records next to it are just empty paper shells.Next to the desk stands a sign that reads "Models on Display, Do Not Use."As for the fireplace, it was only a fresco.

Apart from the chalkboard for guests to try on, only the sofa and coffee pot are genuine.

Xue Dingbang smiled and shook his head, with unspeakable bitterness welling up in his heart.

"You take a rest here." Xue Dingbang squatted in front of Chamberlain, and said softly, "I'll go buy medicine for you, and wait for me here, okay?"

Chamberlain nodded weakly, resting his head on the back of the sofa, squinting his eyes and frowning, his face full of discomfort.

Xue Dingbang left very quickly, it can be said that he walked like flying.As soon as his figure was gone, Chamberlain immediately took out his mobile phone and started sending messages, and he seemed much more energetic.

[He hasn't given up on that book yet.Don't send anyone else over here, I'll get what you want. 】

At the same time, Schrödingbang, who didn't know it, bought a large amount of antipyretic drugs and antipyretic patches at the nearest pharmacy.

While waiting in line to check out, my mother called.Xue Dingbang briefly chatted with them in Chinese, and after expressing that he was fine now, the mother on the other end of the phone said that he still had something to do, and hung up quickly without giving Xue Dingbang time to react.

At that moment, Xue Dingbang felt a little melancholy.

From childhood to adulthood, his mother's attention to him has never been as much and cumbersome as other people's mothers.Sometimes, Xue Dingbang was quite envious of Yin Ren's nagging mother.

For Schrödingbang's education, she focused on cultivating Schrödingbang's independence and rationality.But that doesn't mean that his mother loves him, it's just that she has always been more restrained about her feelings.In this regard, Xue Dingbang is similar to her.

Xue Dingbang, who was not good at expressing feelings since he was a child, finally learned how to say love words and how to express "like", it was too late.

There was already someone else beside Yin Ren.

Not just one person, but one after another, dial after dial.

Xue Dingbang chose patience, chose to wait.After all, he thought that he knew Yin Ren best.Yin Ren has no personality, Yin Ren likes the new and dislikes the old, Yin Ren secretly likes himself.

Xue Dingbang also used to be annoyed and jealous.

But he is very good at covering up, no one has found his annoyance, and no one has found that he is jealous of those around Yin Ren.At least, Xue Dingbang thinks conceitedly that no matter how people around Yin Ren change, the position of lifelong best friend belongs to him alone.

But now it seems that he is just squandering Yin Ren's feelings.Relying on Yin Ren's liking, he played the emotional game of chasing me and running away.

When putting a large bag full of medicines on the cash register, the clerk looked at Xue Dingbang for a while, and couldn't help but said in stammering Chinese: "Sir, you can't bring so many medicines through customs. Just take enough for your own use." Oh."

"Two cute little guys in my family are sick." Xue Dingbang smiled and replied in Japanese with Maeda Kris's Japanese accent, "I hope they can recover without so many medicines. if possible."

The clerk blushed and hurriedly made an apology to Xue Dingbang to settle the score.

Xue Dingbang didn't care, just smiled gently.He walked out with a large bag of medicine, completely oblivious to the man following him.The sick Chamberlain was still waiting for him, and he did not have much time to lose.

He has something on his mind, so his steps are naturally fast.

The man following Xue Dingbang was unsteady and staggered, and the elevator failed to catch up.

Back in the rest area next to store No. 42, Chamberlain was reading a magazine provided by the clerk.He covered his feet with a blanket, and lay sleepily on the sofa, waiting for Xue Dingbang to return.

Xue Dingbang lost his mind for a moment.

When he just bought a house on the Upper East Side, Yin Ren sat on the sofa holding a book in the same way, spending Christmas just the two of them.

At that time, in Chamberlain's place sat a man named "Brother".They sat facing each other, their legs wrapped in blankets, their bare feet touching each other, each looking down at their professional books.

Xue Dingbang walked over and sat beside Chamberlain.The music suddenly stopped.

"Dingbang, the record is over." Yin Ren hung his head and yawned lazily, "Let's change another song!"

"Mr. Xue," Chamberlain smiled weakly, "you came back so quickly!"

Xue Dingbang nodded and smiled, and drove out the phantom of Yin Ren in his mind.He took out the cooling patch from the bag, stuffed it into Chamberlain's hand, and turned to turn on the coffee pot to boil water.It is not common to see such an old coffee maker on the market today.Xue Dingbang happened to have shopping mall logistics around her, and she served the customers attentively, with a professional smile on her face.

"The rest area here is really special." Xue Dingbang lightly brushed the handle of the coffee pot with his finger, and his thoughts kept sinking, "It seems to be..."

"It seems to be at home, right? People say that all the time." The clerk covered his mouth and smiled gossipingly, "I heard that the boss is a great person! He bought the chalk that was about to be discontinued, It’s just for his friends. Just doing the chalk business will definitely lose money, so the boss made a big fortune and negotiated cooperation with a powerful stationery brand! A newly opened stationery store with such a large size has everything, really It's super powerful!"

Xue Dingbang shook his hand and almost knocked over the coffee pot.

"Your boss." He took a deep breath and forced himself to ask, "Are you Chinese?"

"I heard it's an American." The clerk replied. "Actually, I don't know too much! It's just that he is rich. I heard that this rest area is designed according to his study."

Xue Dingbang's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face could hardly be held back.He glanced back at Chamberlain lying on the sofa, as if he had returned to his and Yin Ren's "home" on the Upper East Side.

"The store next to it is a specialty store of Yuyi chalk?" Xue Dingbang asked, "It's such a big store that only sells chalk."

"Do you want to buy chalk?" The clerk became energetic, his eyes were shining, "this way, please!"

Xue Dingbang turned his head and said, "I'm going to buy something."

He was gone, almost a flight.

Xue Dingbang went to the chalk shop, but his mind was not on the chalk.The chalk sold in the store still has the same formula, which is not very different from the previous Hagoromo chalk.

The clerk at the chalk shop raved about the new "Earvin" chalk.The specially made 42-color chalks cost more than 5000 yen before tax.

Xue Dingbang suddenly remembered what he had said to Yin Ren inadvertently.
