Yan Yueming couldn't remember how long it had been since he went shopping. He vaguely remembered that the last time he went shopping with his aunt was when he went to the store to buy a suit for an interview.
What he didn't expect was that the next time he went shopping would be with Li Zheng.
This feeling was amazing, even more amazing than sitting on the back seat of Li Zheng's motorcycle and following him around the city. Moreover, what he was worried about when he went out was that Li Zheng took him to a very expensive boutique, but the situation that he could not afford the glasses did not happen.
He took Li Zheng's car and followed him to a small street in the west of the city. There is a tailor shop here, where Li Zheng often comes to have his clothes customized, and there is also an optical shop that looks very regular.
This street is called "Peace Street", the same name as the teacher.
Since that night, the rules of Shangfang City returned to normal. The torrent of life swept people and continued to run forward, and the little twists and turns were quickly forgotten.
Heping Street, as its name suggests, is a peaceful street.
Today's rules are relatively simple. Yan Yueming read them before going out. There is nothing special to pay attention to when traveling. Li Zheng parked the car and took him to the optical shop. The shop owner was an aunt with a round face and looked very lucky.
Although she doesn't wear glasses and doesn't dress up much, she dresses others up very well.
"Young man, you can't cover your eyes. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. Young eyes are the smartest. They are not blurry at all. It would be a pity to hide them. We should show them to others openly." ..." The aunt has a lot of principles, and she is a kind elder. Isn't that going to make Yan Yueming confused?
Finally, she pointed to the barber shop opposite and said, "Look, don't be in a hurry to get glasses, go to the barber shop opposite. Hmm, did you see that? It's just that barber shop. Go get a haircut first and then get the glasses." Glasses, keep you safe and handsome."
They were so enthusiastic and arranged so well that Yan Yueming was really embarrassed to refuse. Anyway, by the time he reacted, he was already on his way to the barber shop.
The man from the barber shop greeted him warmly at the door.
He even suspected that the two were husband and wife and that everything was colluded.
"Come on, young man, don't be shy." The uncle waved to him.
What can Yan Yueming do? He turned back to Li Zheng for help, only to see him leaning against the counter of the optical shop, looking handsome and waving to him.
What, just a haircut. Auntie said, I will become handsome too.
Yan Yueming strode into the barber shop out of anger. After sitting down, looking at the shop's decoration and period posters, she felt a little regretful. He didn't know what the new hairstyle he was going to face was, and what kind of life this hairstyle would bring to him, but he had already sat down, and the uncle had already started to prepare, and he was too embarrassed to refuse anymore.
People, it's always like this.
Across the street, Li Zheng picked up a pair of sunglasses and tried them on. His aunt was joking with him, "Boss Li hasn't been here for a long time. I heard that there was a new student on Huayuan Road, and I finally met him today."
Li Zheng: "Who is so gossipy and spreads the news here?"
The aunt smiled and said nothing, and Li Zheng understood that it was Su Huizhi who was such a gossip. He broadcast so many rules every day but couldn't stop him.
More than half an hour later, Yan Yueming finished cutting her hair. Before he put on his glasses, he went to the mirror to take a look, and unexpectedly found that the effect was pretty good. The hair was not cut very short. It was thinned and cut into some layers. The forehead was also exposed. It was clean and refreshing, like a young man who was just starting out. He was still a little childish, but not so student-like.
"Look, it's not bad. He's so handsome." The uncle boasted from behind.
Uncle's prices are also very reasonable, 25 yuan for a haircut. Yan Yueming paid the money readily and ran back happily, but was told that Li Zheng had already gone to the tailor shop.
Three pairs of glasses have long been placed on the counter of the optical shop. They are all thin-rimmed, one gold, one silver, and have relatively fashionable transparent frames. The great god happily recommended: "Boss Li has seen them all just now. Now you can pick and choose whichever one you like. The prices are not expensive. You were brought here by Boss Li, and I will give you a 15% discount."
Yan Yueming was moved when she heard the sale, and finally picked the one with silver edging. Gold is also good-looking, but Anchor Su always wears gold lace and looks very cultured. Yan Yueming knows that he is not as good as the other person, so he feels that he can't be too pretentious, so it is better to choose a low-key one.
There are also contact lenses in the store, and Yan Yueming also took some in case of emergency.
After buying the glasses, Yan Yueming went to the tailor shop to find Li Zheng.
The tailor shop was not far away. When Yan Yueming arrived, he found Li Zheng sitting on a bench at the door, drinking tea with the shop owner. He was still dressed exquisitely and appropriately today, with his clothes neatly arranged. Even though he was sitting underneath a long bench with no armrests or backrest, his sitting posture exuded a sense of casualness and elegance.
When Yan Yueming ran towards him, Li Zheng also looked up at him.
A young man with high spirits came running from the other end of the street. His hair was blown by the wind and his eyebrows were exposed. His facial features were handsome and full of vitality. The silver-rimmed frames reflected light in the afternoon sun, highlighting those eyes, which were clear and bright.
"Senior!" He looked a little excited, as if he had perfect scores and couldn't wait to show it to others.
Li Zheng suddenly wanted to see what he looked like without glasses, but when he saw Yan Yueming's expectant eyes, he put down his teacup and said, "Not bad."
Yan Yueming was satisfied.
Li Zheng was also satisfied and introduced to the old man holding the teapot next to him: "This is my teacher's new student. Just make him two sets of regular clothes. The style is simple and suitable for him."
Yan Yueming waved her hands quickly, "I already have clothes, I don't need to make new ones."
"I asked you to spend money to get new glasses, and if you cooperate, I will spend money to make you some sets of clothes. This is called courtesy." Li Zheng looked at him and said: "The prices on this street are not expensive, you don't have to have Burden. Take the clothes back, you don’t have to wear them normally, but wear them when you go out with me.”
Oh oh oh oh, so that’s it. If he wanted to dress up nicely when going out with his seniors, it would be hard for Yan Yueming to refuse. Considering the prices on this street, custom-made clothes shouldn't be that expensive, so he didn't object anymore.
Speaking of which, he really didn't buy any clothes when the seasons changed this spring, so it might be a good idea to buy a few more. However, since Yan Yueming needed Li Zheng to spend money for him, he immediately said that he would pay for it himself.
The owner of the tailor shop is a little old man wearing a leather apron and reading glasses hanging around his neck. His name is Lao Zhao. He teases him from the side and says: "What are you arguing with Boss Li about? What about my boss? He still has the VIP package in my shop for a year." User, he buys it cheaply, but you buy it expensively. Just your two pieces of clothing are not enough for him to make a fraction of a year's worth."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yan Yueming to refuse, he stood up and called Yan Yueming in to measure the size.
&
nbsp;Yan Yueming looked at Li Zheng again. Li Zheng picked up the teacup again and gave him a "go in" look, so he had to go in obediently. At No. 111 Huayuan Road, no one can refute senior Li Zheng's decision.
Measuring the dimensions is also a meticulous job. Yan Yueming patiently cooperated with the boss. When all the measurements were taken and the styles were decided, he discovered that the originally sunny Heping Street was actually drizzling.
The shops along the street have awnings to protect them from the sun on sunny days and the rain on rainy days, so Li Zheng sat at the door and didn't get wet. Yan Yueming looked out and could see his side face, his brows were calm, and a strand of slightly curly hair hanging down his cheek. For some reason, the curly curvature was particularly suitable for such a rainy day.
He felt embarrassed every time he looked at Li Zheng like this, for fear of being too offended, so his eyes naturally moved down and he saw his hand holding the tea cup.
The smoky green tea cup is really small. It can even be said to be "playing" when it is held between the fingers. His eyes followed the fingertips and swept over the joints and wrists. There was a crystal bracelet on the wrist, half hidden in the sleeves, looming.
For the first time, Yan Yueming felt that crystals were so beautiful.
No, Xiao Ming, what are you thinking about?
Yan Yueming quickly put all the things out of his mind, walked to Li Zheng, and watched the rain with him. He remembered the rules set by Li Zheng and asked, "Senior, do you want to go back to class today?"
"Didn't you do enough questions?" Li Zheng asked back.
"It's not..."
"There are no classes on rainy days. Today is the day off."
As soon as he heard the word "rest", Yan Yueming squatted down automatically, and the lazy beast ran out from his limbs, and suddenly his legs were weighed a thousand pounds.
He held his face and watched the rain with Li Zheng, and then he mentioned that he had almost forgotten about the things in the gap.
Li Zheng's reaction to this was mediocre, "Then you have to make a wish that you will never remember it again."
Yan Yueming thought about it, what are the conditions for remembering it again? It must have entered the gap again. To be honest, this can be considered a blessing. Senior Li is indeed cold-faced and warm-hearted.
"Thank you, senior."
"?"
Li Zheng didn't expect to receive a thank you, but when he turned around and saw Yan Yueming, he felt it was reasonable.
Today there is no rule that says you cannot hold an umbrella, so there are a few flower umbrellas on the street soon, and there are also children from unknown families wearing lemon yellow rain boots treading water on the roadside. Looking at it like this, I wasted my time, but I didn’t feel bored. The sound of rain was so hypnotic that Yan Yueming felt like falling asleep and couldn't help but yawn.
Lao Zhao brought him a small bamboo chair, sat down next to him with a teapot, and said: "Spring rain is as precious as oil, and spring rain that has nothing to do with rules is even more precious than gold water. If it rains well, it rains wonderfully." "
Yan Yueming nodded in agreement.
Old Zhao: "Young man, you are not in a hurry to leave anyway. My little old man will test you, do you know the history of our Heping Street?"
Yan Yueming really doesn't know. Heping Street is in the west of the city, and he lives in the east of the city. The middle gate separates the entire city. He had been reading for so many years without hearing anything outside the window. He rarely even went to places like amusement parks and shopping malls, let alone knew the history of a certain street.
He shook his head, and Lao Zhao said: "This street is full of front shops and backyards, and every family is an old neighbor. But in fact, we are not the original residents here. We were all probably twenty or thirty years ago. They moved here one after another.”
Yan Yueming: "Twenty or thirty years ago? Was it because of awakening?"
"Yes, the whole street was empty at that time. The old man was one of the first ones to move from outside the city. He still had to choose, so he chose No. 88. What a blessing. But this street is not big to begin with. In the west corner of the city, you can only make ends meet with a so-so business, so some people have moved away over the years. You see, the tea seller opposite just moved out last month. He said that his child bought a house in the city center, so he took it over. Enjoy peace and happiness.”
"It's great to buy a house in the city center. It's rich."
Perhaps the envy in Yan Yueming's tone was too natural. Lao Zhao smiled and shook his head, then deliberately lowered his voice and said, "But did you know? There are empty houses on this street that have always been empty. That place is said to be unclean and haunted."
Yan Yueming's sleepiness disappeared instantly, "Really?"
Lao Zhao raised his chin mysteriously, "Can I still lie to you?"
Yan Yueming has lived here in Fangcheng since he was a child, so how could he be easily deceived? He looked at Li Zheng with suspicion in his eyes, "Senior, is this true?"
Li Zheng leisurely lifted the teapot on the small stove next to him, refilled himself with a cup of hot tea, and answered him lightly, "Really."
In Yan Yueming's knowledge, the senior would definitely not be naive enough to lie to him about such a thing. Moreover, this is Shangfang City, this is a world with so many weird rules, and the consciousness of the world still wants to kill human beings every day. Isn't it normal to have ghosts?
"Ghosts don't come out during the day, do they?" he asked Lao Zhao carefully.
"Hahaha..." Old Zhao smiled happily, "Of course not. Look, I have lived here for thirty years. Aren't I still fine?"
Yan Yueming nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.
Lao Zhao smiled even more happily and told him: "There were some students who were not afraid of death who came here to explore the haunted house at night. No. 14 is just over the street. It's really weird there."
Unexpectedly, Yan Yueming asked in a serious tone: "This world is weird enough, why do you still want to explore a ghost house at night? You can just explore it in your own home. The rules say you can't look under the bed if you hear a baby crying. You don’t have to go out and pay toll to say hello. When something goes wrong, adults at home can also call the hotline in time, which is much safer.”
Does he really not understand that in this weird world, is there anything simpler than committing suicide?
Lao Zhao laughed loudly at this.
Li Zheng put down his tea cup and said lightly, "I just have some free time."
He thought that this new junior student might have a unique charm, and everyone liked to scare him. Lao San, who wandered around the world and didn't care about anything, liked to scare him, as did the naughty Lao Zhao. In the end, he succeeded in scaring him, and he also gained happiness.
At this moment, Lao Zhao secretly winked at Li Zheng, to the effect of "This little young man is really good. You can bring him here to play with me more often in the future."
piss off.
"Let's go." Li Zheng stood up and took away the black long-handled umbrella that Lao Zhao placed at the door.
"Oh." Yan Yueming quickly stood up and took the initiative to get under Li Zheng's umbrella, but Xiao Ming never forgot to say goodbye to people, especially to elders.
Seeing how polite he was, Lao Zhao didn't care about his umbrella.
