Because of Qin Feiyan's incident, Xu Ziyin was not in high spirits at the moment, so he simply said yes and walked into the store.
Chu Yao's eyes were slightly dazed by such a cold reaction from her junior, but in an instant she regained her sweet smile and introduced the products in the store to the customers who came in one after another.
………
The weather is very good today, and the flow of people in Huijin Xindi has increased significantly.
Naturally, the number of customers in the store also increased sharply.
After all, how can a young couple go shopping and pass by a jewelry store without entering?
While busy, Yun Xianyu would occasionally look up at Xu Ziyin, who was sitting in a daze at the counter.
With her quick mind, she naturally discovered that Xu Ziyin seemed to be in a low mood today.
She wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to do, so she bit her lip gently, and her mood became unhappy.
Finally, seeing that there were fewer customers in the store, she hurriedly went to the cabinet where her bags were and took out a big red pomegranate.
Then he trotted to Xu Ziyin, handed over the pomegranate in his hand, and whispered.
"Xu Ziyin, do you want to eat pomegranate? It's so sweet~"
Looking up at the pomegranate in Yun Xianyu's hand, Xu Ziyin declined politely.
"No, I couldn't eat a few even after peeling for a long time, trouble!"
Mid-October is a good time for pomegranates to be on the market. On the way to Huijin Xindi today, Yun Xianyu saw a stall selling pomegranates on the roadside, so she carefully selected one.
She likes to eat sweets.
In the past, she was reluctant to buy fruits, so she would boil a pot of water, wait for the water to get warmer, put in a few rock sugar, and stir it a few times with a spoon, and the warm water would immediately become sweet and sizzling.
Take a sip and the sweet water will bloom on the tip of your tongue. Your whole mood will become much more comfortable, and all your grievances will disappear.
Many times she would use this method to release herself when she felt helpless and hesitant.
She didn't know why Xu Ziyin was unhappy.
She just knows that eating something sweet will make her happy.
Just like myself.
She didn't want Xu Ziyin to be unhappy.
It's not that Xu Ziyin doesn't like eating pomegranates, he just finds it troublesome to peel them.
As a patient with a certain degree of obsessive-compulsive disorder, if the pomegranate seeds are not peeled cleanly and contain some seed coat or germ, the jerky taste will make Xu Ziyin feel very crazy.
Moreover, if you use too much force on your fingers, it will be very easy for water to leak out. If your hands get sticky and slippery pomegranate juice water, you will not be able to clean them even if you want to wash them off.
"oh…"
Seeing that Xu Ziyin was not interested, Yun Xianyu pouted slightly and nodded. Then under Xu Ziyin's confused gaze, she sat on the stool with her legs together, took a tissue and spread it on her knees.
"Hey, ew~"
With a labored milking sound, Yun Xianyu peeled the pomegranate open with knife marks.
She lowered her head, opened her big eyes, and carefully picked through the dense crimson pulp with her slender green-white fingers.
Xu Ziyin looked sideways.
The girl's delicate and jade-like white skin, and the gorgeous agate-like deep red pomegranate seeds, formed a sharp and wonderful color contrast. In a trance, a beautiful and vivid Song Dynasty poem appeared in Xu Ziyin's mind.
.
[The sword is like water, Wu Yan beats the snow, and the delicate hand breaks the new orange.]
………
With serious eyes, the girl put the pomegranate seeds into the tissue on her knees, then lowered her head and continued working.
Xu Ziyin did not disturb her, just watched quietly.
The moonlight slanted down from outside the store, illuminating her slightly frail body, but her clear eyes were just like the gurgling stream in the forest in summer.
Finally, the girl peeled off the pomegranate in her hand.
"Give~"
She raised a smile and carefully held the pomegranate seeds she was carefully peeling in front of Xu Ziyin.
In the paper towel in the palm of my hand, there is a pile of peeled pomegranate seeds, which are full and crystal clear.
Looking at the pomegranate seeds in front of him, Xu Ziyin was a little stunned and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Xu Ziyin, I peeled it carefully. It's not troublesome. Just eat it."
The girl's face was tight, and her big bright eyes were full of hope.
Xu Ziyin laughed, then stretched out his hand to twist a handful of red pomegranate seeds and put it into his mouth.
Chew it gently, and the fresh and crisp pomegranate seeds will explode in your mouth instantly.
There is no seed coat with any harsh taste, only the sweet and cool juice flows freely in the mouth, all the way to the heart.
"Is it sweet~"
"sweet."
"So, are you in a better mood?"
Along with the hesitant and timid tone, the girl's eyes were full of nervousness.
"Much better."
Seeing Xu Ziyin beside him nodded slightly and gave a brief but affirmative reply, a bright smile bloomed on Yun Xianyu's fair face.
Maybe she noticed someone was paying attention to her, so she raised her head slightly and bumped into a young couple who were about to check out.
The two of them probably had a clear view of Yun Xianyu's actions just now, but they forgot to pay the bill at this moment and were staring at her with blinking eyes.
With a sound, Yun Xianyu's little face turned red. She stuffed the pomegranate seeds in Xu Ziyin's hands, and ran away in a panic while holding the small basket.
The boy curled his lips and said.
"Xiaoyun, look at my girlfriend."
"What's there to see? Let's go, we don't need to pity her."
No need to pity her?
Boy: Huh? Is that what I want to express?
——————
Looking at Yun Xianyu running away like a frightened deer, a sentence suddenly came to Xu Ziyin's mind.
If you are sitting next to someone who is willing to go out of his way to peel a pomegranate for you - don't hesitate, let's get together!
She must love you very much from the bottom of her heart.
With a sigh, Xu Ziyin looked at Yun Xianyu, who was huddled in a corner and was busy putting the goods back in place, and his eyes suddenly became extremely complicated.
For the first time, he doubted whether he was doing the right thing by contacting such a girl.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to break into her life, she might still be living a miserable life.
But her rough life experience did not make her dissatisfied with the world, but instead made her full of expectations.
Even if he pulled her out of an abyss...
Will it eventually lead to another more terrifying abyss?
I could endure the darkness, but suddenly a ray of light came.
That beam of light became brighter and brighter until it completely illuminated the whole heart. After getting used to it, the beam of light suddenly disappeared again, followed by a deeper darkness.
………
Xu Ziyin didn't know and didn't dare to think about it.
He returned his gaze to the crystal-clear and plump pomegranate seeds in his hand, and his gaze gradually lost focus.
(First update.)
(It will be released the day after tomorrow, I hope you can still see it by then.)
