Putting aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind that maybe this was Chu Di's lost twin brother in his early years, and that even if his surname was Chu, he might not be Chu Di, Lin Xiangwan decided that he could no longer deceive himself.
That's him, the man who used to make waves and make noise in the shopping mall, is now working as a clerk in a small grocery store.
To Lin Xiangwan, he was so strange yet familiar.
What is familiar is his appearance, but what is unfamiliar is his whole person.
He often smiles, because the community is full of elderly people, so there are many places that need his help. When he serves those elderly people, he always smiles. Although it is not as bright as the sun on a sunny day, it is just a smile.
The corners of his mouth were so curved that no one could see his former cold demeanor at all.
The business in the convenience store is very trivial, usually selling items for ten or twenty yuan. The elderly often have the most things to do. Sometimes they argue endlessly over a dime. The weather is so hot in summer, but he can
I had the patience to explain to them carefully that it was the manufacturer that made a dime more, not the store that increased the price at will. I repeated the same sentence dozens of times without feeling anxious. It was not until I persuaded the person to leave that I finally understood.
Take a long breath.
He seems to have changed a lot. The temperament that was so sharp in his body back then that it almost hurt people has now become gentle and mellow.
For Lin Xiangwan, the biggest change in him was his attitude towards her.
The convenience store is on the east side of the whole community, which is the entrance to the community. It is inevitable to pass by it when going in and out. I didn't know he was there before. Lin Xiangwan didn't look away when he passed the convenience store, but now he knows he is there.
, I feel like I have an extra thought in my heart. When I pass by a convenience store, I can't help but turn my head and look inside.
Eight times out of ten, you will see Chu Di.
Because the weather is hot, he always stands near the door, probably because he wants to take a break from the busy work so that he can enjoy the fresh air. He is tall and stands out in the small shop. Strangely enough, he always stands out.
When Lin Xiangwan looked at him, he was also looking at her at almost the same time.
However, if it were in the past, he would definitely stare at her, as if he wanted to see her whole body in his eyes and burn it in his heart.
But now, he just glanced at her, glanced over, and then quickly avoided her, as if she was some kind of virus that couldn't be touched. Just one more look at her would make his life worse than death.
What kind of situation is this? People who don't know think she betrayed him? Lin Xiangwan felt angry, but in a flash he changed his mind, that's all, they have reached this stage, living in a busy city, becoming this colorful world
The two most inconspicuous people in the world, who else cares about them?
The so-called "who betrayed whom" is just like passing clouds and a dream.
Now that he wants to let go, he will no longer hold on to these past things. He can do whatever he wants, because after all, it is his life.
After thinking about all this, Lin Xiangwan no longer felt awkward, but he still couldn't help but look at convenience stores when he passed them, like a thief. After seeing them, he felt guilty and regretted them for a long time.
In addition, there are two things that worry Lin Xiangwan, one of which is Ye Nan's attitude.
Ever since she found out that Chu Di was working in a convenience store, it didn't take long for Ye Nan to find out too.
The child was very disgusted with Chu Di's stalking tactics. He buried his little face in Lin Xiangwan's arm and muttered unhappily, "Mom, why doesn't he leave? Can you let him go? I won't
If you like him, he is a bad person and he will get you into trouble if he stays here."
"He is not in our house now. If he were in our house, mom can let him out, but he is working in a convenience store now. How can mom drive others away? Mom is not the owner of a convenience store. Baby, don't pay too much attention to these things.
, we can just live our lives well." Lin Xiangwan really couldn't agree to Ye Nan's request, and Chu Di was Ye Nan's father anyway, and she didn't want Ye Nan to treat her like that when she grew up.
I regret what I said and what I did today.
Ye Nan's hope was dashed and she was unhappy. A few days later, when Xiaozhen came, they played for a while and didn't care anymore.
Lin Xiangwan had finally settled one of his worries, and now he only had another one left.
Lin Xiangwan had not seen Shen Shijun and Moroluo since they left the museum. She was thinking about these two. She sent text messages and called Shen Shijun, but Shen Shijun said "I am very busy".
I had to have an operation, and I had to meet with someone to ask for help, but I hung up without even saying a few words.
Lin Xiangwan knew that something must have happened between the two people, but Shen Shijun refused to tell what it was, and it was hard for her to ask.
In addition, a major case occurred in the city later. Several women were murdered in a month. The methods of committing the crime were extremely cruel. However, Su Cen never found the real cause of death. He became so angry that he went into a rage and asked the forensic team to investigate.
Working overtime with her, Lin Xiangwan was so busy that his feet hit the back of his head, and he had no time to care about other people's affairs.
After working overtime for half a month, all members of the forensic team slept less than five hours a day on average. Lin Xiangwan, with a pair of panda eyes, soaked in the laboratory to measure serum concentration.
I knocked over the surgical tools on the table beside me, and got a bloody gash on the back of my hand with a scalpel. Fortunately, it was an unused knife, so there was no risk of infection. However, the wound was a bit deep, as long as my index finger, and it looked pretty good.
frightening.
When Su Cen saw the injury on Lin Xiangwan's hand, he also knew that he had been having some trouble recently. This case could not be solved in a short time. No matter how hard he pushed his subordinates, he might not be able to get what he wanted.
The answer was, so she thought for a moment and then told the entire team, "That's it for today, everyone should get off work on time."
After saying this, Su Cen returned to the laboratory. The team members were stunned for a few seconds, and then collectively let out a sigh of liberation as if they had lost all strength. Some even walked up to Lin Xiangwan and said to her seriously, "
Xiao Lin, I sacrificed you to save tens of thousands of people. This is a public injury. The injury is appropriate, the injury is honorable, and the injury is great."
…
Because the weather was too hot and the wound on his hand was not big or small, Lin Xiangwan did not bandage it. He was afraid that sweating would cause infection after bandaging, so he simply applied some white medicine and left the wound to dry.
It was rare to get home on time, so Lin Xiangwan planned to cook something delicious for Ye Nan. Although he knew that his craftsmanship was not very good, what was rare was his sincerity, and Ye Nan would not care too much about the taste.
I bought a bunch of vegetables, but when I carried them to the gate of the community, I realized that there might be no salt at home, and Lin Xiangwan had trouble carrying the vegetables.
If he went to the supermarket now, it would probably take an hour to go back and forth. Ye Nan would probably be starved at home by then, but if he didn't go to the supermarket...
She scanned the convenience store with her eyes and saw that there were few people in the store at this time. The owner of the convenience store was greeting customers at the counter. Other than that, she did not see the tall figure. Lin Xiangwan looked around again.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and lowered his head and entered the convenience store.
The store owner was busy helping an old lady research mobile phone recharge cards, and did not see Lin Xiangwan. Lin Xiangwan went to the shelf to find the salt bag. After searching around, he finally let her go to the top shelf of the shelf.
found it.
There were three or four levels of shelves, and the highest level was about two meters long. Lin Xiangwan held her breath, stood on tiptoes, stretched her arms to the limit, and then touched the edge of the salt bag. She grabbed it with her hand, but not only did she not catch it,
Instead, he pushed the salt bag further in.
Looking around, she didn't see any benches or ladders that could be borrowed. Lin Xiangwan had no choice but to tiptoe higher and try to reach it with gritted teeth. Just when she felt that all the muscles and bones in her body were being stretched at once.
While driving, there was suddenly a steady sound of footsteps coming from behind.
Chu Di came back from delivering the goods. As soon as he entered the store, he saw Lin Xiangwan working hard behind the shelves. He didn't want to go there at first, but seeing that her posture was too entangled, he couldn't hold it back and walked over.
"I'll do it. It's iodized and low-sodium, right?" The man stretched out his hand and easily took off the salt bag. When he put it into Lin Xiangwan's hand, he accidentally saw the wound on her hand. Chu Di's pupils
Shrunk.
Lin Xiangwan took the salt bag and hurriedly thanked him. The gap between the shelves was extremely narrow. The two of them were close together, almost touching each other. Lin Xiangwan smelled a faint smell coming from Chu Di.
The smell of sweat and soap made my heart beat fast.
Really not wanting to say anything more to him, she took the salt bag and hurriedly went to the counter to pay. When she reached the counter, she subconsciously glanced back.
Chu Di did not follow.
Lin Xiangwan sighed softly, secretly calculating that she would need to see the doctor again after she was done with her work. She always felt that there must be something wrong with her heart. Otherwise, why would she be so close to him?
Some people will panic to this extent.
After paying the money and going out, Lin Xiangwan felt as if a hole had been opened in her suffocated chest, and she finally felt a lot more relaxed. She took a few steps forward with the vegetable bag in hand, but suddenly she felt a lightness in her hands.
Chu Di came out of the store at some point, walked behind her, and took the vegetable bag in her hand.
"You...didn't I pay for the salt?..." Lin Xiangwan was stunned when she saw him, thinking that she had just come out too tight and forgot to pay for the salt, so she quickly wanted to take out her wallet and give him the money.
The corners of Chu Di's mouth sank. He did not accept the note she handed over. Instead, he put the vegetable bag on the ground, then took out a square band-aid from his shirt, carefully wiped open the outer packaging, and took the band-aid away.
Sticking it squarely on the wound on the back of Lin Xiangwan's hand.
