Liu Weicheng's face downstairs always made Zhao Xuanying feel ill-intentioned.
Although after getting along with each other for these two days, there shouldn't be any big problems with the other person as a person.
But she was a girl after all, and she went out with an adult man she didn't know well. If she happened to be seen by a classmate, she might have to make something up.
Besides...how could the two of them fit in such a small seat?
This era has always been more conservative.
Without thinking for too long, Zhao Xuanying still spoke to Liu Weicheng downstairs.
"If I don't go, I still have to study."
"That's okay."
She originally thought that Liu Weicheng would continue to invite, but Zhao Xuanying didn't expect that the other party just nodded, as if she understood.
Then he looked up at himself and turned back to start tinkering with the stall.
The conversation seems to be over.
The hand on the railing tightened slightly, and then slowly loosened. Looking at Liu Weicheng who was adjusting the stall downstairs, Zhao Xuanying opened her mouth but no words came out.
After a while, he turned around and was about to walk back into the house...
Stop and turn back.
"Well... the final exam is coming soon, I have to hurry up and review!"
The voice was louder than usual, and even Zhao Xuanying herself was not sure why she had to come back to explain to the other party.
From her perspective, Liu Weicheng looked very disappointed after being rejected by her just now.
After all, I only gave myself popsicles yesterday, and today I am embarrassing the other person...
Grandma also often said that people should not be so direct.
Liu Weicheng didn't know the rich activities in Zhao Xuanying's mind. After hearing that the other party wanted to learn, he had no intention of continuing to pester her.
After all, Zhao Xuanying is only a high school student now. Unlike him, a young man in society, it is time for the other party to study hard.
In his view, the theory that learning is useless is a rhetoric that confuses young people. After all, if you want to gain a foothold in society, you must at least have a certain skill.
Learning is not just about knowledge in books. A person's life is a process of continuous learning.
The sound... came from above the head.
I originally thought that Zhao Xuanying had gone back to study, but I never thought that the other party would explain to me why she refused.
At first, I just felt that the other party was a relatively cute child, and I couldn't help but want to tease her. But after going through this detail, Liu Weicheng had an inexplicable liking for her.
He stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Zhao Xuanying upstairs.
He responded with a smile.
"I know, you go back to the house to study first, and I will take you out for a ride when I have the opportunity."
"Um."
Nodding, Zhao Xuanying responded.
Then he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned back to explain.
"I didn't say I wanted to go for a ride with you!"
"Yeah, girls should be more reserved. I will invite you more sincerely next time."
"I told you it wasn't the case!"
"I understand."
"..."
Looking at Liu Weicheng's half-smiling expression...
"snort!"
Her chest rose and fell faster, and Zhao Xuanying realized that she couldn't take advantage of the other party in speaking.
With the sound of the door being closed, she returned to the house and rushed straight to where the bed was.
I threw off my slippers and jumped in.
"Hate hate hate!"
Like a child who had been teased by an adult, Zhao Xuanying kept waving her fists and gently hitting the pillow. This lasted for more than a minute before she turned around angrily.
Staring at the ceiling, I always felt that Liu Weicheng's half-smiling face...and a bit mean-spirited was constantly appearing in front of my eyes.
If Liu Weicheng just deliberately made her angry, it is obvious that the other party succeeded.
Even if you close your eyes, your signature smile will always appear.
Lingering.
————————————————————
The scenery at night has a unique flavor.
At least it's quite novel to today's Liu Weicheng.
There are not many vehicles parked on both sides of the street, and pedestrians mostly just walk or bike. There are several food stalls on the street before the traffic control, and it becomes lively before dark.
BBQ, beer...summer.
People in the early 2000s welcomed each day with great enthusiasm and longing for the future.
The shouts at the dinner table, the collision of the spatula and the iron pot when stir-frying, the rich aroma of food...
Liu Weicheng began to like this era a little bit.
After all, in his memory, he had not experienced such a day for several years, and even just looking at it would make him feel much better.
Dinner hasn't been served yet.
When he went to pick up the stall during the day, Liu Weicheng specially set up a simple stove at the door of his house. After all, the old location where he lived and the small space of the room did not allow him to set up a kitchen in the house.
If you rely on going out to find food for three meals a day, the cost will increase greatly. Now that the fried skewers stall is ready, you may go to the market often.
Just set up a stove at the door and take care of everything yourself.
It's just that the new pot I just bought hasn't been opened yet and needs to rest overnight before it can be used tomorrow.
Looking around, Liu Weicheng soon set his sights on an open-air food stall, which provided cooking, drinks and the like.
I didn't pay much attention to what I ate, so I went to the stall and ordered a simple potato shreds, and then ordered a portion of fried rice. I took out a beer from the refrigerator and asked the boss to write it down, and then I chose a seat relatively far back to sit down.
The table top is not big and can accommodate up to three or four people. If there are more, it will become crowded.
Liu Weicheng picked up the bottle opener from the table, opened the cap of the beer bottle, and made a sizzling sound. In order to prevent the beer from pouring out, he hurriedly opened his mouth and took a sip first.
"Ha~!"
The cold liquid slid down the throat, which was extremely comfortable in the sweltering summer environment.
Putting the beer back on the table, Liu Weicheng reached into his pocket and took it out. When he took out the cigarette case, he accidentally dropped the lighter on the ground. When he got up to pick it up, another group of people sat next to him yelling.
On an empty seat at the table.
The laughter accompanying the conversation made the originally quiet corner become noisy.
"I heard that you beat up the man who brought your wife back a few days ago?"
"Really? I put a hat on you?"
"Don't talk nonsense, she wouldn't dare even if I gave her ten courages!!"
His fingers touched the lighter on the ground, and Liu Weicheng clearly heard the conversation of the three people behind him.
The voice of the last person was inexplicably familiar, and what the three of them were talking about made Liu Weicheng involuntarily turn his head and glance to the side.
When he saw the three people sitting at the table next to him, the face of one of the men caught his eye deeply.
Liu Weicheng's memories kept pouring out of his mind.
The scene of an angry man opening a wardrobe and dragging himself out...
As he watched, Liu Weicheng was stunned for a moment. When he saw the man's appearance, information about him suddenly emerged.
It was the man who pulled him out of the closet at Li Shiyi's house that day.
