When Yu Xiangyang met those cold eyes, he felt a sudden chill all over his body. The greetings he had prepared in advance seemed to be frozen, stuck in his throat and unable to come out.
He never expected that he would run into Wen Qiuning again!
Wen Qiuning was stunned for a moment when he saw that face.
Yu Xiangyang did not wear a mask or pull up his collar today. In more than three months, most of his face has recovered.
Although there is still a certain gap compared with before, his current appearance looks pretty good.
"Girl, two cents." The sweet potato seller wrapped a sweet potato in paper and handed it to Wen Qiuning.
Wen Qiuning quickly looked away from Yu Xiangyang. She took out two cents from her bag and handed them to the uncle, "Thank you."
Wen Qiuning took the sweet potatoes and prepared to leave without hesitation.
She didn't plan to talk to Yu Xiangyang, she planned to pretend that she didn't know him.
She doesn't like to interact too much with people, especially men.
Yu Xiangyang looked at Wen Qiuning's cold look and had no intention of talking to Wen Qiuning, but he saw the eyes of his comrades not far away looking at the good show.
The desire to win in his heart made him bite the bullet and say, "Hey...Classmate Wen!"
Just as Wen Qiuning took a step forward, she stopped again and raised her eyes to look at him. There was no warmth in her eyes, waiting for his next words.
"that···"
Yu Xiangyang's mind was spinning rapidly, organizing his words.
The words he prepared in advance were only suitable for strangers, but he had just called her by name, so it was inappropriate to use the words of a stranger.
Yu Xiangyang didn't know how to lie. He thought for a while and couldn't figure out what to say. Finally, he simply told the truth, "Classmate Wen, do me a favor and have a few words with me."
Wen Qiuning still looked at him with that cold gaze.
Yu Xiangyang further explained: "I bet with my comrade that if you chat with me for a few words, he will treat me to a meal."
Yu Xiangyang felt that it was not difficult to chat for a few words. Besides, he had helped Wen Qiuning before, so Wen Qiuning should be able to help with this.
Wen Qiuning turned around and glanced at the people watching the show not far away, his eyes became even colder.
"Don't make such silly jokes on me!" After saying these words, she turned around and left resolutely.
Yu Xiangyang: "..."
Looking at the back, he said angrily in his heart: "Who is he! How arrogant is he!"
The soldiers came over and coaxed Yu Xiangyang to treat him.
Yu Xiangyang refused to admit defeat and said, "She chatted with me!"
"That's called chatting with you?!" Everyone laughed, "You can tell by the look on her face that she is scolding you!"
Yu Xiangyang: "..."
They don't understand Wen Qiuning. He treats everyone like this!
Wen Qiuning held the roasted sweet potato in her hand and walked quickly towards the bookstore.
Before school started, she applied to the bookstore owner that she wanted to continue working in the bookstore.
The boss is a good person. Seeing that she is a poor student and is very serious about her work, he agreed.
After school every day from Monday to Saturday, and all day on Sunday, I greet the guests when there are guests, and I am responsible for sorting the messed up books and putting them on the bookshelves when there are no guests.
The boss provided a dormitory where she could sleep at night and go to school the next morning. She received a monthly salary of ten yuan.
For a poor student like her, having such a stable income every month is tantamount to helping those in need.
She cherishes this job very much. No matter how late she works, she will always put the books that were messed up during the day into order.
The aroma of sweet potatoes penetrated her nose, and Wen Qiuning's stomach made a "gurgling" sound.
Just now, she smelled this fragrance on the road. Although she had already had dinner in the school cafeteria, she was still so greedy that her saliva almost came out when she smelled this smell.
She hesitated for a long time before she was willing to spend two cents to buy a roasted sweet potato.
This baked sweet potato reminds her of her childhood.
The poor member of the family would not finish her last meal, so her mother would go to the fields to pick up a few unwanted sweet potatoes after work.
After returning home, my mother put the thin and short sweet potatoes into the fire pot and roasted them. The whole house was filled with the sweet fragrance, and even the bitter life became much sweeter at that moment.
She hasn't seen her mother in more than half a year, she misses her mother!
After Wen Qiuning arrived at the bookstore, she hid in a corner of the bookstore and finished the roasted sweet potato in several bites.
She didn't know whether she ate it too fast or the roasted sweet potatoes were cold. She felt that they were not as sweet as when she was a child, and at the same time she felt sorry for the two cents she spent.
She shouldn't be greedy!
It's getting late, and it's time for the bookstore to close.
There were three workers in the store, and those two went home after get off work.
Because Wen Qiuning lives in the attic of the bookstore, she is responsible for closing the door every night.
After closing the door, she had to put away the books she had messed up during the day, and then study for another two hours before going to bed.
She walked to the door and was about to close it, when several men in military uniforms came over.
She spotted Yu Xiangyang among these seven or eight people at a glance.
Yu Xiangyang also saw her.
Their eyes met, and neither of them had any warmth in their eyes.
Yu Xiangyang said to them: "Just buy it in this bookstore."
Wen Qiuning bowed at the door and said, "Welcome. What books are you looking for?"
Yu Xiangyang took the lead and walked in with his head held high without even looking at her.
If Yu Xiangyang hadn't been wearing a military uniform and his posture, Wen Qiuning would have thought he was here to cause trouble!
Yu Xiangyang didn't have the idea of ruining the situation, but he was in a bad mood.
The reason why he was unhappy was not because it cost him fifteen yuan to treat him to dinner, but because he was very angry today!
I think back then, he spared no effort to help Wen Qiuning. Without him, that old man might have done anything to Wen Qiuning!
But today, he asked her to do a favor, even if she just said a few words, she refused to help. Her cold words made him very angry!
While they were having dinner, Fan Lei and the others mentioned that they didn't know many questions in this exam and might not be able to pass it. They wanted to buy some books to study hard and prepare to compete again next year.
He took them to this bookstore.
Wen Qiuning followed up again and asked politely: "Excuse me, what books do you need? I will help you find them."
Fan Lei said: "Find me a set of teaching materials."
"Okay." Wen Qiuning said, "Come here with me."
There were several people here who wanted to buy textbooks, and they all followed.
Yu Xiangyang stood in front of the bookshelf, flipping through this book and that book, flipping through a few pages and throwing them aside.
Those who wanted to buy textbooks already had a set of textbooks, and Yu Xiangyang was still here flipping through this one and reading that one.
Wen Qiuning came over and said, "What book are you looking for?"
His expression and tone were still as if he didn't know him.
Yu Xiangyang said in a cold tone, "Welcome to the great seventies."
Wen Qiuning said politely, "Here, you follow me."
"Bring it here!"
Wen Qiuning still said in the same tone, "Okay, wait a moment."
