Chen Lian? It had been a while since he heard this name. Tao You was suddenly stunned and took a few seconds to react.
"She works here?" Hong Xiqi said to herself, holding her chin.
"Chen Lian, is that your classmate?" Chen Lian's mother pushed the trolley to collect the plates and walked to Chen Lian and raised her chin at Tao You and the others.
Chen Lian obviously didn't expect to see Tao You and the others here. She met Tao You and the others' eyes and was stunned for a few seconds. She turned around feeling embarrassed and said, "No, Mom, you saw it wrong."
"How could it be? I saw it at the last parent-teacher meeting. She's so good-looking. I can't remember it wrong." Chen Lian's mother said, pushing the car towards Tao You and the others.
She showed what she thought was a kind smile and said, "You are classmates Chen Lian, right? I am Chen Lian's mother. Did you come to the bookstore downstairs to study?"
"Yes." Hong Xiqi glanced at Chen Lian, who had her head lowered next to her, and nodded awkwardly.
"You are so good-looking," Chen Lian's mother praised, "and you study so hard, so you are not like our Chen Lian."
"Chen Lian, you should learn more from them." Chen Lian's mother pushed Chen Lian's shoulder, "You don't say hello to your classmates when you see them. It's rude."
——Auntie, actually our relationship with Chen Lian is not that good, and you are too enthusiastic.
Tao You had a signature smile on his lips.
"Classmate, um, our Chen Lian is not very good at studying. Next time you study together, bring our Chen Lian with you to help her. No\./Error\./Update\./New`.w`.a `.p`.`.c`.o`.m”
——Auntie, Chen Lian actually has better grades than the three of us here.
"Okay." Hong Xiqi nodded and agreed politely, "Let's check the schedule next time."
"Okay, Chen Lian, thank you." Chen Lian's mother whispered to Chen Lian.
Chen Lian didn't seem to hear it. She twisted her work clothes with her fingers and gritted her teeth. She felt that the last bit of dignity she had maintained in front of Tao You and the others was being thrown to the ground at this moment. She turned around and ran away without making a sound.
"This kid." Chen Lian's mother smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm going to work first."
"Okay, Auntie."
Hong Xiqi turned around and said, "Chen Lian, is this a work-study program? Or is she experiencing life during the summer vacation? How about I get a temporary job next time to earn some pocket money? But why does she look so unhappy?"
Tao You shook her head to express that she was confused: "Maybe I'm just here to help."
"Tao You," Jia Ming appeared next to Tao You with a plate. Unlike when he saw Tao You when he first started school, he took the initiative to say hello this time, "Song Yimian." He stopped talking.
Seeing the same idols, the performances of Jia Ming and Yuan Yuzhou are really different.
"What a coincidence, you are also making pocket money here?" Tao You waved hello.
"When did the two of them talk so calmly?" Hong Xiqi and Gu Yi put their heads together and whispered.
"I don't know," Gu Yi shook his head, "Why is this picture so weird?"
"No," Jia Ming shook his head. Different from Chen Lian's coyness, he said generously, "My grandfather collects dishes here to make money. I'll help him when he's free during the summer vacation."
"Are you here to study? How are you preparing for the placement test at the beginning of school?"
Tao You ate the fruit plate and said, "In the bookstore downstairs, we are preparing for the exam. Come along if you have time. Didn't you do well in the final exam?"
Jia Ming glanced at Song Yimian and said nervously: "But...is it okay? I really don't know a few questions."
"Of course." Tao You agreed enthusiastically, "You can ask Song..."
She wanted to say Song Yimian, but when she saw Song Yimian's somewhat displeased eyes, she pointed her finger at Gu Yi with insight, "You can ask Gu Yi, he is also very good in science."
I? Gu Yi pointed at himself in disbelief. When did he agree?
"Ah, okay...슷슷·Okay." Jia Ming stuttered and nodded, "I'm still at work. I'm going to do my work first. I'll make an appointment next time."

The rain outside has stopped, and most of the people in the bookstore have left. The bookstore employees are mopping the floor and cleaning up. Music is slowly playing from the speakers, and everything is quiet again.
"Xiao Youyou, this is the only one. (The next page is more exciting!)
Yue, why has Jia Ming changed so much? Hong Xiqi asked strangely, "I remember he was quite shy before. When did he become so generous?" "
"Maybe..." Tao You may not be able to think of a reason for a long time.
Hong Xiqi took a sip of her drink and clicked her tongue, "Sure enough, after three days of separation, you should treat each other with admiration. "

"Hello, sister." Near evening, the landlady came over, patted Tao You on the shoulder, and said kindly, "When you were studying in the morning, did you notice who left this camera on the bookshelf at the back?"
——You haven’t come to claim it yet? This person has such a big heart.
Tao You glanced at the black, expensive-looking camera in the proprietress's hand, and shook his head: "I didn't pay attention."
Song Yimian turned his pen, looked up at the surveillance camera diagonally across the corner, and said, "The surveillance camera from this angle should be able to capture it."
The landlady sighed and straightened up: "Hey, it should be possible to see it, but I checked the surveillance camera in the morning and found out it was broken. Nothing was captured, so I called the store clerk to fix it."
"I've been waiting all day and no one came to pick it up." The proprietress put the camera into a bag, "That's okay, you continue to learn. Oh, by the way, our store closes at eight o'clock in the evening, please pay attention to the time."
"Okay, okay." Hong Xiqi's eyes were fixed on the face of the landlady, "Xiao Youyou, what a beauty~ I have some bad luck lately, I always see beautiful women!"
--calm down.

In the evening, when the bookstore closing time was approaching, Tao You and the others had packed up their things and were ready to go home.
As soon as I walked to the door, a man walked towards me, wearing work clothes, a peaked cap, a black backpack on his back, and a work badge on his chest.
"Hello, I left a camera here this morning. Did you see it?" The man spoke slowly and in a high tone, which reminded Tao You of the father-in-law in the palace drama. He seemed to have just lost an unimportant small item and took the time to try his luck.
"Oh, yes." The clerk was packing up her things and preparing to close the door. When she heard someone coming to get the camera, she quickly turned on the light and took the camera out of the cabinet. "It's this, right? We put it away when we saw it. I thought no one would come to pick it up today.”
"You're a young man with a big heart. Even if such an expensive camera is gone, you don't have to worry about it. You just came to get it now." The aunt couldn't stop murmuring, "We also watched the surveillance in the morning."
The man's hand checking the camera paused for a second.
"It turned out that the surveillance camera was broken and nothing was captured. Young man, please be more careful next time. You should keep an eye on such expensive things. If our boss hadn't been sharp-eyed today, it would have probably gone missing and you wouldn't be able to find it even if you wanted to. It’s here.”
"Thank you." The man checked the camera, put it in his backpack, pressed the brim of his hat, turned around and left.
"Hey, young man, did you hear this? Auntie is not kidding you!" Auntie shouted from behind. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~

At the corner of the street, a surveillance blind spot, under a dim streetlight, the man looked behind him to make sure there was no one, then took out the camera from his backpack and handed it to another person hiding in the darkness.
The man did not move, but stretched out a hand, wearing black leather gloves and a black long-sleeved coat, also leather.
"The money has already been sent to you." The man finished speaking hoarsely. He didn't even check the contents of the camera, hung it around his neck, turned around and left.
"If you wear such tight clothes in the summer, won't you get a heat stroke? You need help from others to hold a camera. What a weirdo." The man in work clothes muttered and took out his mobile phone to check his account. "The weirder this kind of person is, the richer he is." Maybe there is some important secret in the camera, I won’t make a fortune this time..." He imagined his life after getting rich, and laughed directly on the street, and passers-by looked at it strangely. He walked away silently. ..
? ! "He shouted in shock and kept refreshing the page in disbelief. Money?! I stayed home late at night and went all the way to take orders, and you gave me?! It's not even enough for a trip! You gave me Twenty, at least it can be used to pay for the trip!" He was angry. (The next page is more exciting!)
His nostrils were enlarged, he walked forward hard, got into a taxi, and muttered, "What a wicked thing! I wish you would choke on your soup, have no toilet paper when you go to the toilet, and bump on the curb when you walk..."
"I'm so angry," he picked up the phone, made a call, lowered his lips and said aggrievedly, "Hey, Brother Xi, I've been cheated!!!" As he said that, he touched the non-existent tears at the corners of his eyes. .

Seeing that the summer vacation was already halfway over, Tao You found time to return to his hometown. None\./Error\./Update\./New`.w`.a`.p`.`.c`.o`.m
'Xiao Youyou, what are you doing? "
Tao You was lying on the mat, with his legs crossed, fanning himself, biting a popsicle and watching TV. She took a photo and sent it.
'Are you in Taojia Village? "Song Yimian appeared, 'Xiao An and I are also next door,"
Before Song Yimian finished speaking, "Sister Xiaoyou, I'm here to play with you. Which one is your home from?" A voice message immediately followed, it was Song Xiaoan's hearty voice.
'Come on, it's the most conspicuous one on the roadside. "
Hong Xiqi's helpless voice came: "It's amazing, you two are really amazing. We can meet each other even when we go back to our hometown. What are the chances?"
——Yes, it’s pretty cool.
Tao You smiled silly, sat up straight, and shouted to his grandma who was making afternoon snacks in the kitchen: "Grandma, Song Yimian and Song Xiaoan will be coming soon, please cook more."
"Song Yimian?" Grandma Tao stopped what she was doing and recalled, "Oh, is that Xiao Song from the next village?"
"Hey, we haven't seen each other for many years. I'll make more." Grandma Tao added more flour to the basin.
Tao You lowered his head and glanced at the sloppy vest and messy hair. He ate the popsicle in a few times and ran upstairs to change clothes. .
