After he left, Li Shuangjing went to the store, and I sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and was content with my current life.
At noon, I went to the 24-hour convenience store. When the store owner saw me, he smiled at me.
"Business is good." I joked.
Ever since he said such a strange thing that day, the relationship with someone he can be considered friendly with is slightly better than that of a stranger.
"Little brother, I seem to have never seen you working?" He leaned on the cashier and handed over a bottle of water.
"Thanks." I was not polite, opened it and took a sip.
"Hahaha..." In the corner, two girls of seventeen or eighteen years old laughed out loud.
When paying the bill, the store owner joked about something that made the two beautiful girls burst into laughter.
The long-haired girl with a pretty oval face pointed to the door and said that she had just met someone who was wearing so little clothing in the cold weather. The reason for her smile was to discuss whether it was for grace or to attract attention.
"Oh?" The shop owner became interested: "What kind of person is he?"
The girl was also outgoing, and she made gestures with her hands to describe the man who was wearing less clothes.
"Oh..." The shop owner nodded and said nothing more.
A few minutes later, I was the only customer in the store again. I found a chair, and the store owner handed me a retractable table. On the table, there was a steaming bowl of hot instant noodles.
"Help me tonight." He squatted down and put his hands on the table, as if he was begging me.
With a "squeak" sound, he took a sip of instant noodles, squeaked his lips, and swallowed it.
"Little brother, help me!" Seeing that I didn't express my opinion, he seemed a little anxious.
"I'm just a young boy, how are you so sure that I can help?" I joked.
"It depends on what you said." He laughed dryly: "I definitely believe you are capable."
As he said that, he took a look at the community building and said, "If you didn't have the skills, young people like you wouldn't be able to live there long ago."
I nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Nowadays, there are more people in this community than before. However, except for me and the family named Huang, the rest are all old men and women. I heard from the old people that they moved here by exchanging houses.
As for the reason for the exchange, I didn't ask carefully. I just don't know whether these old men and women can survive it.
"You call me that night." I nodded and agreed, for no other reason than that if the convenience store was closed, it would be too troublesome to go around two or three streets to find the convenience store.
He thanked me repeatedly, and I waved my hand and said that if I wanted to thank him, I would like a salted duck egg.
He smiled, took three pills off the shelf, and asked me if they were enough. I was not polite and accepted them all.
"Where do you work?"
"What's wrong?"
He looked a little weird: "I remember it was the money given by your partner last time?"
"She's not."
"That's also money given by women."
I glanced at him and wondered what medicine was being sold in the gourd.
"Little brother, you should just find a job with peace of mind. Spending a woman's money is not a problem."
"It's okay." I took a sip of soup and burped with satisfaction.
He shook his head regretfully: "Hey, you're a good young man, but you can't just sit around and be disliked by her."
I smiled and said nothing more. Before I left, I asked him to make a phone call.
In fact, I understood what he was referring to. It was nothing more than eating soft food. As for whether this was the case, I couldn't figure it out for a while.
Ever since Li Shuangjing changed her temper, she had basically prepared everything I needed to eat and use. It seemed that I was really being a freeloader.
However, after thinking about it, I felt relieved. After all, these things were not worth much money, and they were not even worth eating.
At nightfall, Li Shuangjing came back, carrying several bottles of wine and a large bag of barbecue.
I don't know if she has gotten rich today. Looking at this table, there is no one with three hundred or four hundred, so I'm afraid she won't be able to get down.
"Get rich?"
She shook her head and said with a smile: "No."
Suddenly I felt a little baffled. There was barbecue and wine, and a man and a woman were eating barbecue. What was this?
After eating half of the barbecue, she opened the wine, handed me a glass, and said cheers.
Her behavior made me a little confused, but for a while, I didn't know what she wanted to do.
After drinking about five or six bottles of wine, I suddenly felt a little dizzy. My head was so dizzy that I almost fell down at the door when I went to the bathroom.
I pushed open the bathroom door and saw her standing at the door, her face a little red and her big watery eyes, which made me lose my mind.
"Am I good-looking?" she asked softly.
"Well, it looks good."
"Then you...like me?"
"Beautiful women, every man likes them." I nodded, admitting that I was one of them.
She raised her hand, put it on my shoulder, grinned at me, then took my hand and walked to the bedroom door.
In a few breaths, she stretched out her hand to unzip her down jacket, and then threw it on the ground. Inside, she was wearing a pink gown, and her almost perfect figure appeared in front of her eyes.
"Gulu!" I swallowed, fascinated.
She crossed her hands, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and slowly lifted them up.
The snow-white skin was so smooth and flawless that I subconsciously took a step back.
Seeing that she was about to be lifted to a proud and towering position, I grabbed her hand.
"Don't be like this. If you have anything to say, say it nicely."
"Don't you like me?"
I sighed, picked up the down jacket on the ground, covered her, shook my head and said, "Every man likes beautiful women, and I am no exception."
"Then why..."
I waved my hand, interrupted her, turned around and said, "I don't know what other men are like. To me, no matter how beautiful you are, it's just admiration, and it doesn't mean true love. Do you understand?"
"
"Then you, don't you really like me?" This time, Li Shuangjing was stunned.
"I said, I treat you as a friend, even though you are beautiful."
She gritted her teeth: "If you don't really like it, you can still do what you do when you like it."
Hearing this, I grimaced, and my impression of her almost hit the bottom. I turned around and said with a half-smile, "Why, is that what you think?"
"Aren't all men like this?"
"Haha." I sneered, turned around, stopped looking at her, walked into my bedroom, and closed the door with a "bang!"
Her impression on me has always been almost perfect. As a subordinate, she obeys orders and will be the first to stand in front of me and protect me. Although I don’t know what the reason is, in general, she is a very good person.
