Chatting with 'Uncle Tang' enhanced their relationship, and after finishing breakfast, Xia Xu did not stay at Fangyuan Baozi Shop for too long, nor did he chat with Tang Youxin for a few more words. He just blinked quietly and left for the time being.
He said goodbye and led Atuo for a jog around Luogu Alley.
The morning exercises that should be done still need to be continued. Once this good habit is broken, it will be difficult to get it back. And without Uncle Luo's daily supervision, he really doesn't know if he can recover again.
So, starting from today, there are more people and dogs running in Luogu Alley in the early morning.
Every time I pass by the door of a steamed bun shop, there is a girl in a white dress taking a secret look at her with a rosy little face while dealing with the customers.
"What a good boy, he is in good physical condition."
Tang Zhan personally took over Tang Youxin's sales task and dealt with the breakfast rush brought by his neighbors. When he saw Xia Xu passing by him again, he couldn't help but praise him.
Although he didn't count the details, Xia Xu had at least run around Luogu Alley for more than ten times. Although Luogu Alley was not too long, his physical fitness was really good to be able to run so many laps.
At the very least, you can tell at a glance that it involves high-intensity exercise for a long time, otherwise most young people today would probably be tired of running back and forth.
Xia Xu, who was focused on running through the morning exercise, didn't notice Tang Zhan's words. He ran two more laps in one breath, then found an open space to catch his breath, and practiced the self-weight training method taught by Uncle Luo and relied on the super brain in his mind.
Various fighting techniques memorized by medicine.
After a whole set of daily training, he was sweating and out of breath. Then he dragged his body with heat rising like a furnace and returned to his new rental house. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he set off for the consulting company.
Well, I passed by Uncle Tang's bun shop.
It's really just a way to go, after all, if you want to go out from the street, you have to go this way.
"Dad, I'm going to work."
Xiao Baihua, who was sitting in a daze at the door of the store with a small bench, quickly recovered and stood up. After shouting to Tang Zhan, he trotted out.
"Well, be careful on the road."
His daughter had found a part-time job on the weekends for the past two months and had to go to work every weekend. Tang Zhan also knew this, so he just casually warned her without saying much.
But looking at Tang Youxin's back as she trotted away, he frowned thoughtfully: "Strange, did I overlook something? I always feel something is weird..."
…
Seeing Xia Xu's figure walking quickly, they had already reached the entrance of the alley. Tang Youxin, who was trotting, opened her mouth to call him to wait but did not dare, so she could only try to speed up her pace again.
boom!
As she hurriedly arrived at the turning point of the alley, she was caught off guard and bumped into someone.
"Are you looking for me?"
Xia Xu smiled.
Tang Youxin blushed and quickly broke away, but she did not make any other excessive movements. She just puffed up her cheeks a little and asked dullly: "Why are you here at my house?"
"As I said before, I've moved next door to you."
Xia Xu said with a smile.
"Then... then why did you move here?"
Tang Youxin's voice gradually weakened and turned into a coquettish murmur: "Just now, just now... I was scared to death."
"What's there to be scared of? As a new neighbor, can't I just say hello? Is there anything else to be ashamed of?"
Xia Xu laughed knowingly.
"In short, it just doesn't work."
Little White Flower showed a rare expression of coquettishness and stamped her feet.
"I actually have nowhere to go."
Xia Xu was silent for a moment on purpose, and then showed a lonely look: "Uncle Luo, who I told you before took good care of me, has moved away. The house I originally rented is now as empty as a ghost building. Go back to the original place."
My home was also deserted, which made me suddenly feel like I had no place to stay..."
"I'm sorry, I...I..."
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos, and Xia Xu's appearance really seemed to reveal his true feelings.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Baihua suddenly panicked and tried to apologize and comfort at a loss, but she was so clumsy that she didn't know what to say.
"Then I suddenly thought of you, and I thought that if I moved here with you, maybe I could get rid of this feeling of being a lonely ghost."
Xia Xu took a deep breath and forced a smile, then said with apology and loneliness: "Of course, if I really bother you, I will move back later..."
"No, no, no need."
Regardless of being shy because of Xia Xu's words of 'thinking of you', Tang Youxin waved her hands awkwardly in a panic, suppressing her blush: "I don't mind if you... become a neighbor."
"real?"
Xia Xu's eyes lit up, and he immediately retracted the lonely look he had just shown, and climbed up the pole with a smile on his face: "Then do you mind if, as a neighbor, I knock on your window at night and invite you to watch the stars and the moon..."
"no!"
Tang Youxin blushed and instantly turned into a kitten with fried hair.
"As neighbors who go to the same school, it makes sense to go to and from school together, right?"
Xia Xu once again made a reasonable request that he thought could not be refused.
Xiao Baihua was obviously a little embarrassed and annoyed by Xia Xu's deception just now, and said angrily: "Then you'd better come and knock on my window at night."
"real?"
Xia Xu's eyes lit up, and his eyes were exactly the same as Atuo's at night.
"The room by the window belongs to my father. When the time comes, I will catch you, beat you up like a thief, and send you to the police station."
Tang Youxin wrinkled her nose slightly and hummed slightly.
"Xiao Youxin, you've learned too much."
Xia Xu looked distressed.
But deep down in his heart, he was actually a little happy at the moment.
Of course, it wasn't that he was a masochist, but that he saw changes in Xiao Baihua.
Whether it was a change caused by the close relationship or a change in personality, at least in Xiao Baihua at this moment, he no longer felt the strong sense of cowardice and isolation he had before.
"This is called using bad to make bad!"
Tang Youxin's face showed a slight look of pride and pride.
"I've only heard of using violence to fight violence, and using evil to cure evil?"
Xia Xu pretended to have a serious face and rolled up his sleeves: "Does that bad guy still dare to bully Youxin? Who is that person? I'll help you beat him up."
"It's you, you are the biggest villain."
Tang Youxin wrinkled her nose and hummed softly, then stepped forward.
Today, her long hair was tied into two ponytails, swaying as she walked, seeming to reflect her owner's happy mood.
"Hey, where do you start talking about this? Your old Tang just praised me as a great young man."
Xia Xu looked anxious and took two quick steps to catch up.
"Don't call me Old Tang."
"That's Brother Tang? He just said he wanted to be friends with me for the rest of the year. He and I actually get along pretty well. I feel just like Uncle Luo. If I hadn't seen the wrong look in your eyes just now, I thought you were trying to get along with Old Tang..."
"No! No, no!"
The two figures were talking childishly and drifting away. I don't know how many people couldn't help but chuckle when they saw this scene, as if they remembered that running under the sunset, which was their lost youth.
